503 The Topic of Gods Voice

From here on, I will engrave what I know of Gods Voice.

Tracing the lower half of the slab with a tentacle from her back, Umukahime reads aloud with [Telepathy]. I close my mouth and focus my gaze on the stone slab. Whats written might even provide clues as to the reason I was brought to this world.

Cutting straight to the point, breaking through is not impossible. In the first place, Gods Voices objective is to gather all six divine skills into the body of an obedient pawn.

From there on, she narrates about Gods Voice. Apparantly Hero Miia and Alchimia were on the receiving end of quite a lot of meddling from Gods Voice, and, surprisingly, Gods Voice let slip quite a lot about themself.

Apparently the divine skills were created to seal the fearsome being known as Evil God Foren. Countless explanations were available as to the identity of Evil God Foren in the era of five hundred years ago, and there were as many religious doctrines as there were plausible theories. I hadnt heard any of them other than Lilixiras Holy County, but they might still remain in the world today.

After raising the power of the surviving divine skill holder and having them incorporate the skill into their body by evolving, Gods Voice apparently disposes of them in person. Even if that survivor is rebellious, Gods Voice will wait to see how strong they can get before killing them. When Alchimia defeated the nameless Magic Beast King, Demon Lord Noah, and Saint Lumira and gathered the four divine skills, Gods Voice appeared before her and cut her down, but didnt kill her.

It is best to think of Gods Voice being able to use every skill. Of course, the stats were also far higher than anything I had seen. In addition, Gods Voice had a vicious mental attack skill that pierced through all my resistances at the time, and fought with that attack as the focus. I suspect that resisting it is impossible, and the only option is to endure through mental fortitude.

Umkahime reads out detachedly Fighting an entity that has every skill in existence already sounds impossible. A more powerful version of a [Chaos Ooze] No, its probably worse than that. The scale is so big that I cant even imagine it. Do I really have to fight an opponent that strong one day?

No matter how much I reduced its HP, Gods Voice didnt show the slightest sign of concern, so I expect that there was some hidden tricks. You must somehow slay them, all while enduring that inescapable mental attack, and while they are still being careless.

As I hear her words, a shiver runs down my spine. In the first place, Gods Voice is always monitoring me. I cant imagine its at all possible for me to take them by surprise. As Gods Voice has an overwhelmingly superior position, they must of course be wary of being killed through luck or a clever idea. What Alchimia has written is more or less impossible to achieve.

Do I really have to confront Gods Voice to that extent? I know Gods Voice has overwhelming power. I also know that I can never forgive what Gods Voice has done. Even in this era, just from what Ive seen, hundreds of people have died meaninglessly as a result, and several thousand times as many probably fell victim five hundred years ago. I dont know how long this has been going on for, but the victims probably numbers in the tens of millions.

Theyre unbelievably evil, but are essentially a god. Even if I were to stubbornly resist, it doesnt seem like I have much hope of winning. Besides I have Aro and the rest with me. I cant drag them into a fight and have them die for no reason.

I glance at Aro and the others. All of them appear shocked by Umukahimes words. Thats only natural. Even Im struggling to keep up despite already knowing some of it, but for them its impossible to understand suddenly being told that theyve got to be hostile to a god thats been killing people for countless generations.

I know its cowardly to avert my eyes from the truth of this world. But I dont want to come to grips with this.

I dont know if its the truth, but Gods Voice claimed to be the last of the Six Great Sages who sealed the Evil God Foren. Gods Voice is able to interfere with Lapalce, the great power that binds the rules of this world, and has the authority to change those rules to some extent.

Six Great Sages I heard about them a while ago from Eldia in the adam ruins. Ive also heard of Laplace.

The last of the Six Great Sages, in other words, the other five are dead? I dont fully understand. In the first place, was there some reason for one of them to stay? Thinking about it logically Was it to protect the seal on Evil God Foren.

Gods Voices objective is to create a pawn that is able to interfere with Laplace to an even greater extent, and thus, using Laplaces power, freeing the Evil God Foren. As a result, this world will be returned to nothingness.

Huh!?

Th-the release of Evil God Foren means the destruction of the world!?

In other words, the Evil God Foren who Gods Voice has been trying to revive for thousands of years is far stronger than Gods Voice. I wonder what sort of status Foren has.

I cant show any doubts in front of Umukahime, but it might be dangerous to believe all of Alchimias words. Its possible that Alchimia could be lying for some reason, or that what Gods Voice told her was a lie in the first place.

But, I have a skill that supports Alchimias claims My title skill, [Laplace Interference Authority]. Its level has increased when Ive evolved, and both times that I acquired a divine skill. Right, the existence of [Laplace Interference Authority] supports the idea that Gods Voice wants to strengthen divine skill holders in order to gain greater control over Laplace.

My [Laplace Interference Authority] is level 4, Lilixira and the Hero who shared my name had it at level 3, and the slime and the fly guy had it at level 2. Theres some variation, but I suspect the the upper limit of the level is set by the number of divine skills. [Laplace Interference Authority] felt dangerous, so I havent touched it much and dont know much of how it works. I dont know the principle or structures behind it at all, but it seems the divine skills themselves are connected to the seal on Evil God Foren through Laplace.

If what Ive heard here is true, then Gods Voice has made me carry a ridiculous bomb. In short, in order to gain the authority to undo the seal on Evil God Foren, Gods Voice is reshaping the world, inducing wars, and manufacturing useful monstrosities.

Under no circumstances should you allow a divine skill to pass into the hands of one loyal to Gods Voice. They would no doubt do as Gods Voice wishes and provide data towards creating the ideal divine skill holder in the following generations. That is the principle that leads towards Gods Voice having greater control over Laplace and the rules of this world.

A divine skill holder loyal to Gods Voice The image of Lilixira appears in my mind.

But, there is an even worse possibility. The seal on Evil God Foren could be undone, and the world destroyed. Suicide is also meaningless. When the holder dies, divine skills transfer into the hands of the one most suitable for them. The highest priority is simply given to the one who defeated them in battle. So that the divine skills dont fall into the hands of one obedient to Gods Voice, you must defeat the other holders and take them for yourself.

I had faintly suspected as much. I had a feeling that my battles with the Hero in Harenae and the slime werent just about keeping myself and my friends alive, or about protecting the peace.

I hadnt been fully conscious of it until now.

But, my battle with Lilixira will be a critical point that decides the future of this world.

Most likely, Gods Voice will have done something to prevent these words from being read. That is because the moment anyone lays eyes on this, Gods Voice will observe it too. Gods Voice seems to hate excessively interfering in the world, but that is not an absolute rule. Normally, we are treated as toys, but if something Gods Voice perceives as truly dangerous appears, they would quickly discard that principle and take action directly. That is who they are.

Umukahimes tentacle touches words near the end of the text. Is there still more? But whats written hasnt happened. Gods Voice hasnt done anything to prevent me from reading this.

If nothing has happened, then that is unexpected. It would mean that Gods Voice holds no fear whatsoever for this information.

Is all the information on how they attack, the existence of a hidden card, and the hints as to their identity of completely no consequence to Gods Voice?

That is all. Do you understand? You cannot escape from Gods Voice. Your options are either to resist and die, submit and die, or to emerge victorious There is nothing else.

Umukahime lowers her tentacle and stops using [Telepathy], speaking normally. She must have already known a lot of what was written here. It looks like reading it placed quite the burden on her, as her forehead is drenched in sweat. To be honest, it had a lot of information I would have preferred not to have known.

If I had unknowingly defeated Lilixira, and then lived and died somewhere peaceful without receiving too much interference from Gods Voice, that would have been ideal But, thats probably impossible. If I had obeyed Gods Voice a little, I might have been able to enjoy some degree of peace after this, but Now that I know all this, theres no way I could do that.

I only understood it in fragments, but Irushia, it sounds like youre wrapped up in a whole lot of trouble.

Even that belligerent Volks face is pale as he stares at the stone slab with a helpless expression.

I absolutely cant afford to lose to Lilixira. But what can I possibly do against the Gods Voice behind her?

[Gods Voice: Lv7] is unable to provide an explanation.

An unexpected voice resounds in my mind After all, are you still watching me now?

Suddenly, I sense a familiar presence, and release a [Dimension Claw] towards it. A distant fly monster bursts open, spraying body fluids.

I dont receive any experience points. Thats one of Beelzebubs vanguards for sure It seem Lilixira wont give me any more time.
