Chapter 131: The Whale and the Shrimp (5)

“… … Ugh!”

While talking to Pierlot, Carla frowned and lowered her head.

“Why, why are you like that?”

Pielot was embarrassed to see Carla suddenly in pain. Carla didn’t answer but took a few rasping breaths of her own.

“——Oh, it’s okay. I guess I was tired too. “I have a bit of a headache.”

“You looked like you were in a lot of pain. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Of course. Compared to Mr. Pierlot, this isn’t even a pain.”

“… … “You can’t ignore your own pain while looking at other people’s pain.”

At Pierlot’s words, Carla laughed, saying, “Huh, that’s right.”

Carla raised her head again and said.

“Get some rest now. Mr. Pierlot has done a good job.”

“No. I’ll get up now too.”

Pierlot, trying to get up completely from the bed.

The collar caught both of his shoulders.

“Don’t do that. “In my current condition, I will be a hindrance to Mr. Frontier.”

“… … But, I have to tell the story about Satan to Senior Frontier.”

The Satan that Pielot saw in his dream.

It was too vivid to be a dream, and the face of Satan, something Pielot had never seen before, was clearly visible.

This is not an ordinary dream. Satan had something important to say. It seemed like he was about to become the king of demons.

Carla nodded.

“I’ll tell Frontier. So get some rest.”

“I saw it firsthand, so if I want to convey it properly… …!”

“Pierrot.”

Carla’s serious eyes looked at Pierlot.

“Don’t be impatient.”

“ah…….”

“There will be no problem for Frondia and the others. I understand what Mr. Pierlot wants to tell you. I will tell you everything, so don’t worry.”

Only then did Pierlot release the strength he had been trying to get up.

In fact, he was not yet in shape to fight at all. He was pierced by an arrow, and his body even accepted mana from another world. The priority now is to recover as much as possible.

“… … All right. Please. Mr. Carla.”

“Don’t worry.”

Carla smiled and got up. After confirming that Pierlot was lying quietly on the bed, she left the hospital room.

Then I walked down the hallway and looked around.

‘… … There are no crows, but you never know where they might be found.’

Kala, no, thought Athena, now possessed in Kala’s body.

‘This is probably the last time I’ll be here. If I meet Frontier during this time, it’ll really be over.’

For Athena, using color is not difficult.

What God gives to humans is fundamentally the same, whether it is divine power or a curse. Since I have already bestowed divine power on Kala once, it is not difficult to possess her as well.

The problem comes after possession.

The possessed person has no memories of the time they were possessed, just like Saleh who was possessed by Odin.

So, when Athena possesses Kala and then returns to her after some time has passed, it feels like that much time has been cut off from Kala’s perspective. That sense of discomfort cannot be simply ignored.

‘So there were two conditions for me to possess Carla.’

Make it so that Kala doesn’t notice that she’s been possessed, or

Even if you noticed, you might not be able to ask Frontier for help.

The first method is surprisingly not that difficult.

Because I can move while Carla is sleeping. All you have to do is possess her body while she sleeps, move around, and then turn her body around before she wakes up. Even if you feel some fatigue on her body, you won’t be able to tell that she’s been possessed.

Athena used this method to give Charon information about the Frontier group.

‘Frondier senses the moment when a god or a devil appears to a human being. I don’t know the principle.’

A purple haze that is only visible to the eyes of the frontier.

Although it is originally only visible from the player’s perspective, Frontier can see the purple haze in this world as well.

‘But while it is not manifested, I don’t think we know whether or not God is present.’

So even if Athena comes back to Kala, she won’t be detected unless she possesses her like she does now.

In other words, if I were possessed, I would definitely be caught, so I needed a moment when Frontier was not around.

That’s why now.

Now that Kala and Frontier were far away from each other for their own purposes, this was Athena’s greatest opportunity.

‘Sorry, Frontier. But I have work to do.’

Athena walked out of the hospital.

Originally, Kala was also a wizard skilled enough to be the head of Atlas. With enough mana, Athena was able to lift her body into the air in no time.

“I’m not really interested in the war between gods and demons on such a ridiculous scale.”

She turned around. In a straight line heading towards the capital.

“The impostors of Hera and Aphrodite in this capital. We cannot tolerate them.”

What is more important to God than anything else is maintaining formality.

Hera and Aphrodite are clearly goddesses comparable to Athena. If the devil continues to impersonate them, even Athena’s status will fall along with them. Gods who are close to each other influence each other.

Currently, Hera and Aphrodite have each given divine powers to humans, but they are both on the continent of Palind. In other words, they cannot use their powers here.

Athena has no choice but to step forward.

‘… … And somehow, as a god, I get a strange feeling about the conflict occurring in this capital.’

A demon impersonating Hera, a demon impersonating Aphrodite.

A sight that makes the two of them fight among themselves over something so pointless as ‘beauty’.

Athena’s sense of discomfort, which must have been completely out of place.

I feel like something started wrong.

“… … Well, it will end with heavenly punishment.”

Athena heads to the capital with Kala’s body.

I have no intention of showing any forgiveness or mercy to the devil who impersonates God.

Athena will kill them as soon as she sees them.

Even if the result is the starting point of war. Even if countless lives lie in death.

God’s priorities are as clear as the devil’s.

“Vishnu.”

Frontier still turns his eerie eyes towards Vishnu.

His gun-shaped fingertips are still pointed towards Vishnu, Elodhi.

[Huh? What is it?]

Vishnu, still resting his chin on Elodie’s figure.

The voice is full of composure. It’s as if Frontier’s life is completely out of reach.

“Answer my questions.”

[Yeah, whatever.]

Because it speaks with Elodie’s body, it has a voice that is completely identical to Elodie’s. Even that fact displeases Frontier.

“Why should I believe your words?”

Frontier’s life seems to not only fill the room, but to push it out.

Now, Bael, who was more caught between them than Vishnu, became tense and his face hardened.

“Even if you believe it, why should I keep you alive now?”

It doesn’t take long for Frontier’s demonic power to take hold. Even if you create a pantemonium, you can finish it in less than a minute if you put your mind to it.

Frondia already recognizes Vishnu as a potential enemy. Elodie’s god is playing with Elodie’s body. There is so much reason to kill him that other reasons are secondary.

[Aha, you can tell me as much as you want.]

However, Vishnu is relaxed.

[Answer to the first question. I was just being kind.]

“linear?”

[okay. As I said, I’m just an information provider. Have you ever wondered how God goes to war with the devil? So I just answered it. And the fact that Athena was hiding it is pretty important information, right? As well as the fact that you can go back to Carla at any time. You don’t need me to give you a reason to believe. If you don’t want to believe it, just don’t believe it.]

Considering the circumstances, what Vishnu says now is probably almost true.

After meeting Pantemonium, Athena was almost certain to lose to Frondia. So naturally, she was no longer a target for Frondia to keep in check.

I never thought it would be possible to return to Carla. Even if it were possible, I didn’t think she would take the risk of moving to Frontier.

‘The question is why did this guy suddenly appear?’

Frontier is more suspicious of Vishnu’s intentions than of the information itself.

What is the intention of telling this timing and even directly possessing Elodie? What is Vishnu planning in the situation right before this war begins?

[And about the second question.]

Vishnu spoke as if cutting off any further thoughts.

[There is no need to save me.]

“what?”

[You’re not saying you can’t kill me because you don’t need to keep me alive, right?]

Vishnu’s smile deepens.

[Because you can’t kill me, you can’t kill me.]

“… … Are you confident that you will win Pantemonium?”

[Ahahaha. That’s not it. Frontier, you’re surprisingly the type to deceive yourself.]

Vishnu laughed.

He says that laughter is still mixed.

[You can’t hurt Elodie.]

Words that seem to pierce Frondier’s heart.

Vishnu said that he found Frontier’s appearance amusing.

[I just saw it, so I understand. I can possess Elodie at any time. And you can get out at any time. As I said before, Elodie’s resistance is quite strong, so I can’t possess her for long. What would happen if you used the power of the devil in a situation like this?]

Frontier’s demonic power clearly reaches even gods. He knew this while dealing with Athena.

However, Athena at the time was looking down on Frontier and was not in a state of possession. Since it was Kala who activated the divine power, there was no way to avoid Frontier’s demonic power in the first place.

However, Vishnu now has control over Elodie’s body. If you have to, just return your body to Elodie.

[Of course, it would be difficult to switch with Elodie faster than you can use your demon power. It’s unlikely. The chance of success is maybe 1%? In most cases, it would work out the way you want. Your demon power would reach me faster than I could switch with Elodie.]

Saying so, Vishnu spread his hands.

[Then, do you want to try it? Believe in the 99% chance and use the devil’s power on me to make me leave. What do you think?]

“… … .”

Frontier’s fingertips still point to Vishnu.

However, his demonic power was never activated.

[Ahaha. See. You can’t kill me.]

Vishnu lowered his arms as if he had read all of it, or rather as if it was not interesting.

[You can’t make that choice if there’s even a 1% chance that Elodie will be in danger. And you can’t believe me when I say there’s a 1% chance in the first place, right? Because what I say isn’t ‘information’ to you.]

For Frontier, information is important enough to determine the future situation.

The reason is simple. Because I don’t like unexpected events or accidents.

If he were alone, he might be able to handle even that, but Frontier is no longer alone.

The attitude of not wanting to sacrifice anything was especially noticeable during the war with Mangot. Instead of saving everyone, he sacrifices himself.

So far, that’s worked.

But what if he can’t be saved even if he sacrifices everything?

Or, if you don’t even give them a chance to sacrifice.

[That’s why you’re so obsessed with information. You want to know everything they’re up to, whether they’re your enemies or your allies. Ahaha. On the outside, everyone seems to follow you and you seem to lead them all, but if you look closely, you’ll see that you’re actually serving the whole.]

“… … .”

Swish

Frondior put his hand down.

The endless killing intent towards Vishnu gradually subsided.

Vishnu tilted his head at him.

[Huh? I thought you’d be angry. You’re surprisingly calm.]

“… … .”

Frontier did not answer.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath. As if he was going to shake it all off with that.

Then he turned to Vishnu and walked out of the store. Then he took back the black cloth that had been binding Andro.

The reason his anger disappeared was simple.

‘It’s true.’

Vishnu is speaking the truth.

He cannot kill Vishnu, and there is no more information he can get from Vishnu.

Since he didn’t know when Elodie would regain her body, Frondier had to move. First of all, is it a hospital? If Vishnu’s words are true, Kala would already be possessed by Athena.

Behind his back, Vishnu still raises his voice.

[That’s not what you call a colleague. Frontier.]

Frontier has heard so many curses so far.

Some of them were truly cruel words that made it seem as if Frondeer would be swallowed up in a curse.

However, Vishnu’s words spoken in Elodie’s voice are incomparable to anything that has come before.

[That’s not a colleague—]

Kwaang!

A sudden, violent impact sound is heard.

Frontier looked back into the store in surprise.

Vishnu suddenly slammed his fist on the table.

No, that’s not Vishnu.

“… … Sorry, Frontier.”

It was Elodie.

Before we knew it, Elodie had regained her body and was making her voice heard.

‘… … I regained my body while God was speaking. Elodie’s resistance is exceeding God’s prediction.’

Frondi was surprised by the sight, but Elodie was not at all surprised.

Elodie radiated an enormous amount of life and anger that made even Frondier nervous, and her gaze was focused on one place.

Those eyes are not looking anywhere.

If I had to say, it’s directed at herself.

She said.

“Would you like to go first?”

“… … Elodie.”

“Please, Fron.”

Elodie spoke without even looking at Frondier, or rather, without moving her eyes at all, as if what she was looking at was clearer than anyone else.

“I think there is some need for education.”
