Yoshi
Vida, half-asleep and half-awake, couldn’t tell whether she was looking at a dream on the back of her eyelids or whether her eyelids were open and she was hallucinating.
Though gods were not omniscient and omnipotent, she was still a goddess. But she was in this pitiful state because of her battle against Alda that had taken place a hundred thousand years ago.
A hundred thousand years… Even before that…
After being born in this world, Vida spread the power of the life attribute throughout it, and before she knew it, she was praised by the people as the goddess of life and love.
Everything was peaceful back then. Everything was gentle and quiet.
However, that peace was broken by the invasion of the Demon King. Vida had no choice but to fight alongside the other gods against the Demon King’s army, the invaders from a foreign world.
During that time, at Zuruwarn’s suggestion, it was decided that champions would be summoned from another world. She agreed with the plan while Alda opposed it, but in the end, things went well and seven champions were to be summoned.
Permission had been granted from the god of that other world, but only Rodcorte, the one who ruled the only circle of transmigration, continued to oppose it. But none bothered listening to a god who could do nothing other than complain.
The one Vida had chosen was a young man who was trying to hang himself in a small backstreet workshop, Sakado Keisuke. He would later become Zakkart.
“Ah, the goddess has come for me. Mother, Father, I’m coming now,” Sakado whispered.
“Stop, don’t go, please!” Vida cried.
I was in quite a panic back then.
It seemed that an organization known as a ‘bank’ had betrayed Sakado and the workshop he had been running went out of business, so he was trying to kill himself.
Vida thought that he would happily become a champion with no lingering desires in this world, but Sakado exhibited a fixation on mysterious things.
“Umm, does that mean that you’re going to give me special powers and things like that, then?” he asked.
“Of course.”
Bestowing powers upon humans chosen to become champions was already an established procedure. In fact, if they were to be invited to another world without being given anything, they would simply die.
Different worlds would have different laws of physics and even different compositions of air. There weren’t such great differences between Lambda and Sakado’s world, but if Sakado was simply taken to Lambda without any adjustments being made, it was possible that his lifespan would be shortened or he would transform into a bizarre creature due to the Mana floating about in the air.
Vida would adjust his soul to prevent that, but these adjustments would become what were referred to as “champions’ powers.” The “blank space” of the soul upon which adjustments could be made were called, “the qualities of a champion.”
… The adjustments could have been made more freely if Rodcorte, an expert on this matter, had cooperated, however.
Also, magic didn’t exist in this world called “Earth” that Zuruwarn had made a connection to, so none of its inhabitants were able to use Mana. In addition, only a miniscule number of individuals were capable of fighting with swords and spears; it was already known that there were none among Earth’s inhabitants who had the individual fighting strength to stand up against the Demon King and his army.
Earth’s weapons couldn’t be taken to Lambda (If they were, since the laws of physics were different in Lambda, it was certain that they would break after being fired once, misfire or even explode), so it was decided that each champion would be granted powers.
That was why even if Sakado never asked for it, Vida was planning to give him things like physical abilities that would allow him to treat protagonists of action films as small fry, an aptitude for magic and powerful equipment that only champions could use.
In addition, the Job and skill system created by Ricklent had already been implemented in Lambda.
With enough experience, one could gain unimaginable powers.
“Well then, please give me a cheat that lets me create things,” said Sakado.
“… Huh? Err, we’re in the middle of a war.”
For some reason, Sakado showed a strong fixation on things related to ‘creating’. Wouldn’t one normally desire the power to cut down enemies one after another with a sword, or the ability to freely cast powerful spells? In fact, those are the kinds of champions that we are looking for.
Vida told Sakado this, but he stubbornly refused to yield on this matter.
“I’m weak when it comes to fighting,” he said.
“That’s why I’m telling you that I’ll make you strong!”
“But I get the feeling that it’ll be a waste… I’m not really athletic, either.”
Vida sighed. “Even if you say you want to create, I’m the goddess of the life attribute, so it’ll have to be something like agriculture, animal breeding, forestry or woodworking. Is that alright with you?”
She had no choice but to give in. There wasn’t enough time for her to spend days convincing him and she didn’t have any other candidates.
“Please give me those. I’m more knowledgeable about the manufacturing industry than I look.”
And so, though this wasn’t what was originally planned, Sakado was summoned to Lambda as a champion who placed more importance on productivity and technology than individual fighting strength.
Vida felt disappointed, knowing that she was probably the only one to summon such a strange champion, but contrary to her expectations, the champions chosen by Ricklent, Peria and Botin had also desired cheats for creating things.
To think that four of the seven had desired creation-related abilities. Perhaps the image of heroes on ‘Earth’ was fundamentally different to what the gods had imagined? It was very perplexing.
Alda and Zantark had scolded them angrily for not making more serious choices, however.
After that, it was fierce battle after fierce battle.
Numerous islands had been sunk, nations were destroyed and Shizarion’s soul had been broken. Even so, Vida, Sakado and the other champions fought earnestly, defeating and sealing numerous evil gods and somehow keeping the war even.
Sakado… had reluctantly changed his name to Zakkart in order to have a more typical Lambda-style name under the recommendation of Suzuki Shouhei, the leader of the champions. Zakkart had distinguished himself in these battles.
“If this world’s gods and people are willing to betray us and join the Demon King, the reverse should also be possible!” As he made this outrageous declaration, he began trying to recruit the evil gods obeying the Demon King.
“Zakkart, what are you thinking!” Bellwood demanded. “Their very existence is evil! There is no way that they can be converted. And have you forgotten what they have been doing to innocent people up until now?!”
“Precisely,” said Alda. “Even if they were to join our side, it would only be a trap or a wretched way to beg for their lives. Accepting those who have sinned without delivering any punishment is an unthinkable, reckless act.”
“Please, come to your senses!” Vida begged him.
Not even Vida’s words stopped Zakkart from trying to recruit the evil gods; in fact, the champions who had desired abilities of creation began to actively cooperate with him in his efforts.
And unbelievably, more than ten evil gods, though not in important positions within the Demon King’s army, crossed over to the champions’ side.
“No way?!” Vida exclaimed in surprise.
“I mean, don’t things like this happen often in wars?” said Zakkart, wearing a nonchalant expression.
The evil gods who had changed sides were not particularly exceptional in direct fighting strength, but the fact that there were traitors seemed to have caused greater shock and disturbance in the Demon King’s army than expected.
The Demon King was a being who ruled not with charisma, but through overwhelming power and his secret ability that allowed him to destroy souls. There were some who worshipped his power, but many of his subordinates feared him or were simply obeying him to serve their own purposes.
The existence of the traitors caused doubt to spread throughout the Demon King’s army, making them wonder, “Has the Demon King’s power grown weaker?” and, “Have they betrayed the Demon King because they believe that the champions have something capable of defeating him?”
And the Demon King was successfully driven into paranoia that his other subordinates would betray him as well.
The coordination of the Demon King’s army that had been bound together like iron came apart, more traitors appeared and the war that had been even up until now began leaning in the champions’ favor. But the champions couldn’t let down their guard. They needed to attack before the Demon King’s army restored its iron-like bonds.
Under these circumstances, Zakkart declared that he would begin the manufacture of ‘weapons from another world.’
“With our knowledge and skill alongside magic, we should be able to create the modern weapons of Earth in Lambda!”
He advocated that these weapons should be used to defeat the Demon King. One of the reasons for this was because the Demon King possessed numerous troublesome special abilities that made him difficult to defeat through normal methods.
A barrier that nullified all magic and a barrier that nullified all physical attacks. With these two different barriers, he would be surrounded by an impregnable defense.
Because of this defense, even the holy sword of Bellwood, who was the most gifted in combat, wouldn’t reach him. It would even stop the attacks of the gods.
Zakkart had thought of a way to pierce through those barriers and inflict damage on the Demon King.
“Even if the Demon King came from another world, he has not known a world with a technology-driven culture like Earth,” said Zakkart. “If we press him there, it might work.”
After investigating the barriers, he had noticed that they were not like hard walls that repelled attacks, but had properties resembling membranes that absorbed energy.
He had also determined that the simultaneously-present barriers, the anti-physical-attack barrier and anti-magic barrier, were independent and didn’t affect each other at all.
In other words, if the anti-physical-attack barrier was broken by an extremely powerful attack it couldn’t absorb completely, the anti-magic barrier would continue functioning as normal.
Only one of the barriers needed to be pierced to make an attack reach the Demon King.
So, Bellwood would use his ability to copy another champion’s ability once a day to copy Zakkart’s power of nullifying damage taken from a target weapon, targeting Earth’s modern weapons.
After that, Bellwood, now impervious to the damage of those weapons, would attack alongside the weapons being fired at the Demon King.
The Demon King’s anti-physical-attack barrier would be pierced and he would be defeated. This was the plan that Zakkart drafted.
However, Bellwood was vehemently opposed to this plan. The weapons that Zakkart was trying to create had proved to be problematic on Earth, causing irreversible damage on the environment when they were used.
Invisible poison would be scattered across vast areas and linger for tens of thousands of years. They were terrifying weapons.
“Zakkart, have you gone insane?! You would only create a disaster in this beautiful world of Lambda in the Demon King’s place!” Bellwood exclaimed.
“Disaster? At this rate, the Demon King will take everything!” said Zakkart. “And unlike Earth, this world has magic, and it isn’t as if the entire world is going to be contaminated. It will be only the continent the Demon King is residing in, and there’s not a single person left there anyway, is there?”
“But there are people who were evacuated from that continent! Some of them are in the volunteer army that is fighting with us! Can you say the same to them, when they are risking their lives to reclaim their homeland? Can you tell them that even if the Demon King is defeated, they will never have a homeland to return to?!”
“… I do feel bad for them. I really do, but if we aren’t prepared to make sacrifices, we can’t win. And Suzuki, aren’t you just unhappy with the fact that I want to make weapons from Earth?”
And so, the four creation-minded champions led by Zakkart, who were in agreement with the creation of the weapons, separated themselves from the three battle-minded champions led by Bellwood.
The two groups were prone to argue with one another over various things, and it was always Bellwood who would calm the unyielding, dissatisfied creation-minded champions down, telling them that victory couldn’t be achieved without helping each other.
But it seemed that they couldn’t put up with it any longer.
Alda and Zantark agreed with the opinions of Bellwood’s group, while Vida, Zuruwarn and Ricklent agreed with those of Zakkart’s group.
Vida was confident that if she and the other gods did everything in their power, the pollution caused by the weapons could be erased within a few thousand years, or even a few centuries if things went well.
And though those evacuated from that continent deserved pity, the continent was already filled with seas and deserts of poison, and contaminated with forests of monster fungi. Vida believed that they had to give up on the continent to some extent.
However, Alda’s side wondered, was it really possible to purify a poison that had never existed in this world before? What if that poison were to combine with the Mana of this world and transform into a new disaster? They advocated that victory was possible without utilizing such a dangerous plan.
The fact that the war had begun leaning in the champions’ favor had created room for such arguments to arise.
Meanwhile, Zakkart began creating Earth’s modern weapons in order to change the minds of the battle-minded champions and the gods who supported their opinion. To be more precise, he began creating the poison that those weapons would scatter.
He was trying to create a far smaller amount of diluted poison to determine whether it would be possible to purify it with this world’s magic and the power of the gods, and if so, how long it would take to do so.
The other creation-minded champions cooperated in this task, while Vida and her companions continued to try and persuade Alda’s side to accept this plan.
At this time, the Demon King’s army suddenly went on the offensive.
The Demon King separated his army in two and began a large offensive movement with no hesitation to make sacrifices. One of them was a large force that charged at the volunteer army’s camp where Bellwood and his companions were, commanded directly by the Demon King himself.
The other was a smaller army that closed in on the weapons manufacture workshop where Zakkart and his companions were, led by the Demon King’s close aide.
Bellwood and his companions, alongside the volunteer army, accepted the challenge of defeating the Demon King that was approaching them. Vida tried to leave in order to help Zakkart and his companions, but Alda and the other gods stopped her.
“Zakkart and the others are champions as well. They will be able to deal with a small army on their own. In fact, they should kill all of the enemies and come here to support us. And shouldn’t we prioritize defeating the Demon King above all else?”
At the time, I thought Alda’s words were right. That’s why… but…
Bellwood and his companions drove away the large army. However, the army had been composed of large numbers of sturdy small-fry and monsters specialized in stamina and defense, designed to hinder the champions. The Demon King leading them was a fake.
Zakkart and his companions had their souls broken by the Demon King who had been disguising himself as a low-Rank monster, and the workshop was destroyed.
“With this, the champions capable of defeating me have perished!” The Demon King Guduranis was said to have made this loud declaration after breaking Zakkart’s soul.
The Demon King had considered Zakkart’s group more powerful than Bellwood’s, and feared them more. He had been worried that the plan that they had made would one day threaten his life.
That was why he had been fixated on defeating Zakkart’s group, despite having to make large sacrifices to do so. He had even destroyed their souls so that they could never be revived.
Vida, Zuruwarn and Ricklent desperately tried to revive them. They planned to piece together the broken fragments of their souls in an attempt to resurrect them.
But Rodcorte had already retrieved the fragments of their souls by then.
“Reviving souls not part of my circle of transmigration system without permission, souls pieced together from broken fragments at that. There is no telling what kind of flaws doing such a thing would cause in the system. If possible, I wanted to return them to their original world, but I do not have the power to interfere with worlds outside of my jurisdiction. For this reason, I have restored four souls’ worth of fragments into a single soul and placed it in my system. This needed a considerable amount of effort, but not as much as fixing unexpected errors and bugs.”
The souls of Zakkart and his companions had already gone to a place where Vida couldn’t reach them.
“What happened to them is a pity. But for their sake, we will defeat the Demon King Guduranis with our own power and save the world!” Bellwood declared, holding his holy sword high.
After that, events that I don’t even want to remember kept happening one after another, didn’t they…
In terms of results, Bellwood was victorious. Lambda was saved.
But too many sacrifices had been made.
Bellwood and the other two battle-minded champions survived. However, all of the eleven gods other than Alda and Vida had lost so much power that they had essentially died.
Not a single member of the volunteer army led by Bellwood had survived.
There were numerous regions that remained contaminated, including the continent that the Demon King had made his domain. Many of them remained unpurified even a hundred thousand years later, spreading and becoming known as ‘Devil’s Nests.’
The surviving people, all of the humans, Elves and Dwarves, numbered less than three thousand.
“Our losses were indeed great. But we’re still alive. We have to continue forward. Please cooperate with us, for the sake of the future,” said Bellwood, extending his hand. But Vida rejected him.
Time cannot be rewound; no matter how much I regret, what has been lost will never come back. To make up for our losses, I should have taken his hand. Alda wasn’t wrong when he said that. But I could no longer trust them.
Wasn’t there supposed to be no sacrifices made?
It was true that there was no guarantee that the Demon King would have been defeated if Zakkart’s plan had been put into practice. But shouldn’t Bellwood have listened to his opinions?
Gunpowder and matchlock weapons, land mines and steam engines – Bellwood had opposed Zakkart at every turn, stopping all of his ideas.
It was true that what Zakkart had in mind was dangerous and would spell disaster for this world if misused. After hearing it, even Vida had countless discussions with him about it, thinking that it would be dangerous to put the plan into practice exactly as he had suggested it.
But even so, she had discussed it with him. She hadn’t denied him without hearing what he had to say.
And no matter what she did, she couldn’t let go of her doubt surrounding the events when the Demon King had closed in.
Didn’t Bellwood and Alda abandon Zakkart and his companions on purpose?
Wasn’t it possible that they had intentionally allowed themselves to be deceived by the Demon King’s trap?
There was no evidence. If someone told her that she was delusional, that would be the end of the discussion. And even Vida thought that it would be ungrateful of her to accuse Bellwood of such a thing, when he had come to Lambda from a completely unrelated world, risked his life and finally defeated the Demon King.
However, she couldn’t trust him.
But she distrusted Rodcorte even more. What was important to that god was the souls being reincarnated in the worlds he had jurisdiction over; he probably wasn’t interested in anything else. Even with these events occurring, he probably thought nothing more than, “I’m glad the Demon King was defeated.”
If the Demon King had told Rodcorte, “I will create as many humans as you want in place of the gods that were originally in this world, so lend me your strength,” then perhaps Rodcorte would have accepted. Vida couldn’t help but to think this.
And the loss of Zakkart and the other creation-minded champions was great not only to Vida, but to Lambda as a whole.
After they had fallen, Bellwood was forced to fight a harsh war that was once again tipped in the Demon King’s favor. Gods, members of the volunteer army and the refugees that they had been protecting were lost in rapid succession.
And even now, Bellwood and the others were struggling to restore this ruined world. Because their powers were specialized for battle, though they were able to exterminate the monsters left behind by the Demon King, they were nothing more than amateurs when it came to agriculture and manufacturing.
That was exactly why they needed Vida to cooperate with them, but…
Instead of cooperating with them, I made a different decision.
Vida thought of creating her own circle of transmigration system for this world and creating new “people” who could survive even in this world that was overrun by monsters.
She planned to rebuild and restore this world, and reunite with Alda and the other gods.
Alda and Bellwood opposed her as usual, but this was something that she had expected.
They would have acknowledged me if my endeavors paid off. I thought that I had no other way to convince them when words wouldn’t reach them.
That was why she didn’t listen to the words of Alda and the others. If one asked her whether she wanted to get back at them, she wouldn’t have denied it, however.
And then Vida gave birth to numerous new races. She poured Vitality into Zakkart’s remains and successfully turned him into an Undead.
She had wanted to fully resurrect him, but her attempts failed thoroughly. It seemed that without the soul at hand or someone who could control death itself, reversing life and death was impossible.
That was why she was only able to create a puppet with fragments of Zakkart’s memories and knowledge, that moved based on the few residual thoughts remaining in his body.
But I don’t think he would be angry. He was always saying that whatever can be used should be used, as if it was his favorite phrase.
And so, with the help of the former evil gods who had joined her as subordinate gods, she imitated the circle of reincarnation system left behind by the Demon King, creating her own original system.
Though it did work, it was nothing more than an imitation of the Demon King’s system that was itself an imitation of Rodcorte’s system, so bugs would constantly appear. It was a dangerous product that she couldn’t take her eyes off.
Vida was forced to realize that no matter how unpleasant Rodcorte was, he was a specialist when it came to this field.
But I didn’t want to give up. I looked for more help. I created new races with those who cooperated with me, and loaded the souls of the new children onto my system.
Vida thought that the system needed experience to improve. Though it would cause them discomfort at first, it was necessary for the children she had created to turn the wheels of the system and be born anew.
But fortunately, at this point in time, the incomplete system was working well, considering that it was incomplete.
The number of children given birth to by Vida was steadily increasing as well.
Maybe it’s because I imitated the Demon King’s system, but my children are stronger and live longer than I expected, and some of them undergo large changes in appearance when their Rank increases. But I always intended to produce stronger children, so I thought that it was fine, didn’t I?
Things were not fine. It was when Alda and the champions attacked her that she realized that she should have sat at a table and discussed things with Alda and the others sooner.
Bellwood and the other champions should have reached the ends of their lifespans long ago, but Alda had deemed them to be necessary for this world and preserved their youth.
Alda led the subordinate gods and followers who now supported him after their masters had perished or fallen into slumber, while Vida led the gods allied with her and the children she had given birth to. The two of them formed two separate groups that fought against each other.
Vida was defeated. In the end, her fate was determined by the fact that her enemy had champions on his side while she did not.
And the city for her children that had been created using Zakkart’s knowledge was destroyed. Vida’s divinity was stolen from her by Alda… Her authority as a goddess was revoked, and she suffered a deep wound.
Even so, she mustered all of her remaining strength, created a tall mountain range to the south of the Bahn Gaia continent and led her remaining children to take shelter there. After that, she collapsed and fell into a slumber.
I wonder how much time has passed since then?
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years or perhaps even a hundred thousand years. She didn’t know. Her power had failed to return, to the point that she couldn’t tell.
As Vida’s equal, Alda shouldn’t have had the power to inflict an irreparable wound on her, but it seemed that he and his followers had brought her followers, the source of her power as a goddess… the ones who offered her prayers, to ruin by preventing them from growing in number.
Currently, all of the gods who had cooperated with Vida had fallen into slumber after having their divinity taken from them, or were worshipped just enough to lie dormant. Vida didn’t know whether Talos and the others were unharmed or not. Vampires were strong among Vida’s children; there was no small number of them who had fallen to the temptations of those who still tormented this world.
Why did things turn out this way? Why has Alda continued to do such harsh, cruel things?
The Demon King no longer exists, and the gods that were part of his army betrayed him and became our allies. They were doing their best to make up for what they did. So why do you still hate them? The one who tore their chance to atone into pieces is you. The one who teaches that criminals should atone for their wrongdoings, and that they are no longer criminals once they have finished atoning, is you.
Why do you hate the knowledge and technology from Earth so much? It’s thanks to none other than the champions we summoned from that world, Earth, that we even still exist.
Why do you criticize my endeavors so much? The one who couldn’t trust Rodcorte, the one who doubted him, is you.
Why do you try to destroy my children? Why haven’t you noticed that the truly evil gods have taken advantage of that and built a nest inside your pocket?
At this rate, everyone will become exhausted and only destruction will await us, so why?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand.
At that moment, a certain premonition crossed Vida’s mind. Perhaps it was caused by Zakkart’s remains that were resting next to her, or a little of her power had been restored, or perhaps Ricklent and Zuruwarn were lending her some of their power from wherever they were gathering it. She didn’t know. But it was a premonition nonetheless.
He will come back. I don’t know why, but Zakkart… Keisuke will come back to this world!
The soul that had been formed when Rodcorte forcibly pieced together the broken fragments of the four champions’ souls, the one that had been released into his system, would return to Lambda.
But…
In her premonition, Vida could see that he would be reincarnated into tragic circumstances and that he would end his own life, tormented by his own powerlessness. All of this would be instigated by Rodcorte.
“I can’t let that happen.”
This wasn’t something that she could overlook.
He currently didn’t have even fragments of memories from the past. His personality was completely different as well. But Vida couldn’t abandon him.
Now that she thought about it, she hadn’t been able to do anything for Keisuke and the others. She hadn’t been able to repay them for anything.
So, to make up for it, she would repay them just a little bit now.
With this in mind, Vida sent several Divine Messages. She was worried that there wouldn’t be anyone left to hear her voice, but it seemed that the Divine Messages had been delivered.
And the moment her premonition became reality, Vida mustered all of her power. Her hand was so powerless that her heart felt as if it would break from how pathetic she was, but even so, she extended it.
She supported the soul that had fallen into this world with her hand and scooped it up. As she did so, she noticed that three troublesome curses had been placed upon it.
“Rodcorte…!”
Vida couldn’t undo the curses. But before she could feel disappointed, she noticed something peculiar about the soul.
She noticed that the soul was imbued with the Mana of an attribute that didn’t exist in Lambda and yet was somehow familiar, and that the soul had an unusually large amount of blank space.
“I see, it has four champions’ worth of blank space. And because Rodcorte forcibly put the pieces together, it created even more blank space. Even so, there is simply too much blank space, I have to fill it with power so that he isn’t defeated by the curses… ah?”
To begin with, Vida tried to place the power of the life attribute that she had once ruled over into the soul. However, the peculiar Mana that the soul had already been imbued with engulfed that power and absorbed it.
“H-how strange. I wonder if it’s because my power has waned. Well then, my divine protection… This isn’t working, either?!”
When she tried to bestow it her divine protection, that was quickly engulfed as well. She had been aware that divine protections were difficult to bestow upon those who didn’t believe in the god granting the divine protection, but the divine protection had been engulfed. Just what could this mean?
“Umm… Well then, what should I do?”
There were few things Vida was capable of doing now. She had previously been able to grant special powers and cheat-like abilities, but she didn’t have the power to do that now. If she pushed herself she might be able to grant the soul a single power, but it would be terrible to see it being engulfed as well.
“Alright, let’s do this!”
Vida scooped up the tiny amount of residual thoughts that were left in Zakkart’s remains. In those residual thoughts, she wrapped some of her own blood that was running from her wound.
And then she added these to the soul. Perhaps because they had once been a part of the same soul, this time, they unified with the soul without any interference from the Mana.
“With this, this soul has received my blessing. Its unhappy destiny should become a little better. And though his growth may face walls, it won’t face any limits. It will become easier for new Jobs to appear, and it should affect the people around him, too. Well, the bad luck in his future will get stronger, though. But this Mana, I’ve felt it somewhere before… No, it can’t be.”
And then Vida released the soul into the system that she had created herself. With his soul’s compatibility, he would be born as either a Vampire or a Dhampir. And since most Vampires didn’t make children normally now, it was likely that he would be born as a Dhampir.
He might be born into even harsher and crueler circumstances than if Vida hadn’t interfered at all.
“Now, I just need everyone to hear my Divine Messages and make their move… I’m sorry that this is all I can do for you.”
You risked your lives to save a world you had no connection to and even had your souls broken. I’m sorry that this is all I can do.
If possible, I want you to love this world.
The air, the wind, the earth, the greenery, the animals, the people, I want you to love everything.
I’m sorry that I’m burdening you with more expectations after I’ve relied on you so much already.
And then, Vida’s consciousness sank into slumber once more.

As someone who’s read the story like 3 times this chapter breaks my heart. Let me break it down.
It was the effort of Zakkart and the other creation champions that changed the war from a stalemate to the champions having an edge.
Bellwood claims “we can’t use nukes, the continent will be unusable” even though the continent was already unusable due to the demon king’s miasma and would take decades or centuries to fix.
Worse yet, without the creation heroes, Bellwood won, but at the cost of the majority of gods, AND THE 3000 MAN ARMY HE CLAIMED HE OH SO CARED FOR. They all died, the men and women he stopped nukes being made to restore the homes for, died, because he failed to protect them.
The idiot killed his people due to his stupidity and acts like everything was hunky dory “oh let’s play Cumbaya after I abandoned your chosen champions and disregarded your feelings, of course I’m in charge”. Then, regardless of their feelings for what Vida was doing, they attacked her, they came to kill her people and her children, and they’ve been waging this 100,000 year genocide campaign. They are the worst kind of evil, they are hypocrites who believe in their self-righteousness.
Alda is such a monster “for the sake of the people I already exterminated, I’ll keep killing your people because it would be disrespectful otherwise.” It would be like saying “for the sake of the slaves in the past, we’ll enslave you because it would disrespect your memory.”

I love this Novel and Vida as a character but she has no spine. She also claims to want to make up for her abandoning her champion but is unable to do next to anything. Spoiler alert wee woo wee woo… stop reading
.
.
.
then through the story in my opinions the god use Van and his family even more while giving him next to nothing in terms of rewards he is forced to fight their war both old and new while the most they can do is seal a few gods away they literally don’t even fight in the final F’ing battle, just her incarnation and that’s is on the side. I feel like she is robbed of the chance to make good with the soul of the creation champions and it hurts my soul because out of all the character she shows the most desire to change and be better and make up for the past but in the story it never happens.
Naberisu
Big reveals already?!
Also, I completely agree with the idea of letting a world/culture build itself instead of just filling it with stuff from another world but holy f, it’ s impossible to find what Alda and Bellwood did justifiable in any way possible.
MidMist
I know that I can’t be the only one who understands that the creation heroes started out with a small amount of the poisonous components of the weapons to test if magic or the gods powers would be able to purify it, and how long it would take to purify it.!!! They were not being irrational and frankly it sounds like they were also getting positive results from the way it was being put. I’m also sure that they would have been perfectly fine with having the weapons locked up in one of the gods divine realms with all other information and devices that were used to make it, so no mortal would be able to have access to it. I also doubt that they would make more or teach others how to make it.
By the way I know others caught the bit about how somehow all of bellwoods lovers survived… how many did he have cause it sounds like he definitely had a lot, probably more than he should have had too! Most people are probably related to him somehow with how much of the population was deceased.
I think that I relate a little bit too much to Vida when she was breaking down, but I also love that although she obviously loved Zakkart she was also willing to acknowledge that he is not just Zakkart but also the other creation hero’s and that with all of his reincarnations he is also his own individual personality with his own unique thoughts and experiences that have nothing to do with Zakkart. Despite that she was still willing and motivated to help him to the limits of her abilities at the time simply to repay some of the injustice that was done to them.

… Just amazing
Again i hate Alda she is too much anoyed
Alke
Bellwood and Alda were the most incompetent pple that led Lambda to the fiasco they are in. Narrow minded people should really do a service to the world and just die, but they are like cockroaches 🤬🤬oh! So Vandalieu is the Reincarnation of Zakkart and his creative friends! Makes sense! And he probably can tame and charm all the children of Vida because he has her blood. She did grant him some kind of protection at least, well as much as he could get! She’s a good goddess, Vida, I hope that she can be cured one day!
Randy Rando
People like Rownak Uchiha are the reason we can’t have nice things. This entire chapter was spent explaining why Bellwood was wrong and Zarkaart was right and there are morons like them out there too stupid to understand why. Let’s see if I can explain it in a way that even a three year old could understand.
Pretend for a moment that the demon king and his army are a brick wall, and that wall is standing between the people of lambda and their only source of fresh water. The gods of lambda summon some people from earth to help everyone break down the wall and get to the water before everyone dies from dehydration. Zarakart suggests creating a sledgehammer to use to break down the wall, but Bellwood is against that idea because he is afraid that the people will use the hammer to hurt each other, so he wants everyone to break down the brick wall by bashing thier heads against it, and if some people die from traumatic brain injury, it can’t be helped because there isn’t a better option. Zarakart ignores Bellwood and makes several smaller hammers as practice before he tries to create a sledgehammer. Bellwood is still vehemently opposed to the creation of any and all hammers as he is using the smaller hammers to chip away at the brick wall while the people of Lambda are still bashing thier heads against the wall, so he leaves Zarakart to die of thirst. By the time Bellwood and his followers have broken a tiny hole just big enough for one or two people to squeeze through, millions upon millions of people have died of thirst and traumatic brain injuries, leaving only 3,000 alive. Despite not having been able to make it through the wall without the smaller hammers Zarakart had made, Bellwood claims that he was right all along and prevents anyone else from making hammers of thier own to widen the hole so more people can get to the water. When Vida makes some people who are able to survive with less water than normal, Bellwood claims that it is sacrilege and that all of the thirst resistant people be hunted down and slaughtered, then proceeds to attempt to murder Vida by savagely beating her with the smaller hammers Zarakart had made before he died. Vida manages to escape with crippling injuries, but Bellwood is still intent on killing her.
That is the story so far as dumbed down as I could make it. I hope it helps some people understand.
Alke
It summarize perfectly the idiotic thoughts of narrow minded reactionary muscle for brain pple! Why geniuses have to die and these pieces of crapp survive it all?! 😩😩🤬🤬I’m not OK with using nuclear weapons, but they could have talked about it and found less idiotic ideas than killing almost all the pple on the planet just to not use it to kill only a small portion of them! 😒😒😒😒
Wkonomi
That what happen when you listen to muscle brain to make plan

MVP Vida wholesome asf
JKingSniper
Bellwood so stupid
Aathma
So zakkarts soul and residual thoughts might be the reason why vandaleu was so eager to create and develop things. Well generally most of the isekai stories MCs always creates things from his home world.
prnewt
so zakkart and all those people dead just because bellwood hate earth
Zenden1st
He was probably one of those SJW #savetheturtles who got bullied hard in his childhood fatherless type nibbas

(tradução) Esse capitulo mostra em minha opinião que Vida e uma dos melhores deuses pois mostra como ela mesmo com ressentimento ela ainda foca em suas divindades “vida e amor” pois acredito que qualquer deidade vinculada a vida deveria e estava limitada a fazer, que era trazer vida forte a um mundo hostil, ela não fez nada mas que seguir sua essência e ensinamentos, diferente de Alda que como Vida diz se recusou a perdoar aqueles que tentaram se redimir al contrario de seus encanamentos
Bunnyman
Actually, rodcorte just doesnt give a sh*t about the struggles of the planets he maintains, as long its not gonna get totally destroyed, lie in the same place for a hundred thousand years, he doesnt care about what happens or who reincarnated where, So, he probably forgot about van’s soul or just didnt care.
Rownak Uchiha
So that champion zakkart wanted to introduce gunpowder and nuclear bombs that would cause radiation spreading in Lombardia? I mean if that hero was from earth, specially from Japan, he should have known how much harm nuclear bombs are capable of doing to a planet right? Sorry Vida But I am a follower of Alda from now on, I don’t know how much harm The demon king could’ve done to the world, but I do know how much of a danger that zakkart fellow could’ve been if he introduced nuclear bombs to a world which is running well with magic. The author seems to like the idea of ethnocentrism, where he acts like the food and stuffs from japan which is called the whole earth according to the author is better than the culture of Lombardia in every aspect.
Aeon.Astarle
Just want to ask, did you know that after Bellweed defeat the remaining survivor in human side is just 3000 ppl?
And other than the continent that human live now almost all of them already become contaminated by foreign power such as demon king’s mana?
Like Zakkart said if he success create Nuclear Bomb to break that Demon King’s shield, many ppl will be saved and many continent will not be contaminated
Sorry for my english.
Chiu ChunLing
Spotted the genocidal ideologue.
darkrius
What a dumbass, worthless opinion…
Yeah sure follow the god that condones and even orders 100’000 Years of constant racism and genocide and betraying important allies just because they don’t agree with you over the goddess who after many discussions with Zakkart decided to gamble on using atomic bombs to defeat an extinction level threat.
I mean if you had any braincells you would realize that he wouldnt introduce the technology to make atomic bombs but instead he would produce them with his special cheat skills. As soon as they would have defeated the demon lord or proved that the bombs are ineffective they would have never been made again.
I have to imagine your just posting controversial opinions for the sake of posting controversial opinions, because I really doubt, or atleast hope that such stupidity doesn’t actually exist.
A_wandering_otter
It’d be one singular nuclear bomb and the continent which the demon king resided in was already contaminated beyond recognition with no way for people to live in even till now. Not creating a nuclear bomb also led to most living things dying and MULTIPLE continents destroyed and people slaughtered. They ain’t gonna give everyone a nuke nor the technology to build a nuke.
Miaka_Mei
U follow Alda? why? There’s so many GOOD things you could’ve followed, but you chose THAT?
You poor soul.
Alke
Are you kidding me?!?! An Alda believer! 😒😒😒😒Alda is even worse than the worst “local” gods that are worshipped right now on earth (and it’s really as bad as it can be, because detestable gods, we have lots of them) 😒😒😒I’m not OK with using nuclear weapons, but they could have talked about it and found less idiotic ideas than killing almost all the pple on the planet just to not use it to kill only a small portion of them! 😒😒😒Can you be rational and have some logic?! If they let them work on it, they may have find the solution to resolve the problem before launching the bomb. But I’m pretty much sure that they “helped” beyond the curtains to the demise of the 4 champions instead.
IgorManigold
Foi bastante interessante descobrir o passado por trás da “alma” do Vandalieu, será que Redcort tem algum envolvimento com o Rei demônio ? Estou cada vez mais interessado nessa obra…obs: Faz um pouco de sentindo o Redcort não percebe que a alma de Vandalieu era uma mistura de outras almas até por que ele nunca deu um destino, sorte ou habilidades para essa alma além daquelas que ele “deu” em cima da hora…obs2: não é porque descobrimos o passado de Vandalieu que o futuro da obra ficou sem graça.
Chalky4Block
I feel so bad for Vida.
I don’t understand I don’t understand I don’t understand
That hits home for me. Why? Why are so many people so, so needlessly cruel? Or judgemental? Or just awful? As someone with autism, when neurotypical people does something so uncalled for, this is what I often think. Just…why?
Wsteven7o7
Same i can relate to her i don’t understand the hate people have inside i live for me and everybody and everybody for everyone and me.
Is a simple but complex thinking that humans cannot seem to understand.
Stoic_Alex
Very good side story. Thanks Vida.
Baldingere
Fate’s wheels are moving~ God, this is such a great story.
yvesdakempo
Ugh, reading about this Bellwood guy really iritates me! He was not only muscle-headed, but he was also a dick-head, childish, hot-headed, narrow-minded, stupid-ass, and a lot more! In summary : he is the worst “hero” ever existed.
And the mystery about MC’s power and connection to Vida revealed in this chapter.
Wan
I read Trashero and I agree with your opinion about Bellwood
Wsteven7o7
He is the law but the law only benefits him and the law can bend any way shape or form to suit his ideals even if its contradicting his own law.
darkrius
It would be hard to think of a hero turned god who could do more harm than he did. 100’000 years of constant genocide, countless death due to famine and disease that could have been prevented, not to mention the near extinction of everyone because he is a huge crybaby about using a lesser evil to destroy a greater evil.
Alke
That Bellwood “thing” is not a hero, he’s a disguised Disaster.😩😒 Now, I really hope that he wasn’t Reincarnated too, and I’m thinking that he is maybe the other Amemia, I mean this guy did pop up like that from nowhere! There must be a reason! And Rodcort gave him 7 skills, even if he is the perfectly incompetent god, the plot in itself can’t have this much of a coincidence usually
Christine
Rodcorte should have his soul crushed in the end. It would be very satisfying. Afterall, even God’s are not all that invinsible as they can die by crushing their soul. This god should pay for all his mistakes that is literally destroying this world.VIVA VIDA!!
Alke
I’m looking forward to the smashing of the soul of this incompetent trash god! Popcorn and crackers and a lot of festive stuff will be prepared by me just for the occasion! He can even smash him and recycle him with another bunch of stupid gods🙄🙄. But what would be perfect in my opinion, would be to smash rodcort and Alda and use purified morcels of their souls to mend Alda’s injuries and make her more powerful so she can take care of things instead of the two stupid morons😒😒
RuinedSilver
“Yeah, I’m just gonna smash these fours souls together”
for fucks sake rodcorte. how did you even achieve godhood? HOW did you not recognize this soul? Are you working blindfolded? Also, if managing the transmigration system is such a god damn pain for you, why not, IDK, APPOINT SUBORDINATES? Then you can be as lazy as you want and have actually competent people working.
I get that the writer wants us to hate rodcorte, I really do. but damn if it isn’t working a bit too well.
Sai38
I thought so too. All the gods are simply completely useless, one is a racist, the other is simply completely incompetent and the rest are dead.
Bunnyman
Rodcorte doesnt care about any thing, as long as there’s enough souls in planets he maintains, he is happy.
junipersr
So van has very similar powers to The demon King. Not only the soul break but their barriers.
Looks like that joke about Bellwood being a conservationist is somewhat true cuz he was worried with the environment in this chapter too XD
I wonder how long it’s going to take van to realize the truth about his soul.
RekkieD
I think till he meets with Vida’ believers XD
UnveilingSage
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Up until now I misread the word “conservationist” as “conversationalist” which kind-of works, but also doesn’t
Tejing
I love this chapter. It paints such a vivid picture of Vida’s thoughts and nature, and answers so many questions about Van’s reincarnation as well. That “I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand.” part gets me every time I read it.
TruePath111
This is kinda BS, I was expecting more from Vida, I always thought she was working behind the scenes and holding the advantage over the other gods despite being weak. So it turns out MC really was Zakkart reincarnation. I’m kinda disappointed as I wanted MC to be his own individual. Now, your just overloading MC with crap and burden. He was already fine as he was. I had thought Vida sent MC to his mother intentionally considering the Mother wisdom and pure heart that’s similar to the Goddess Vida.. but turns out it was just a last struggle.
I hope MC doesn’t lose out when he faces Gods. His personality is too different from the “Reincarnated” self. MC is a lot colder and smarter, while Zakkart is like a beta Mc.
Nobody2
Zakkart was not beta
Tejing
In my experience, anyone who brings up the word “beta” in discussion of novel characters is not worth responding to. Don’t fall for the trap.
hungsayori
tbh, anyone who unironically uses “beta” as a term to describe humans is a major red flag of “incapable of civility”
Wsteven7o7
I think we all would love if you just never commented again.
Zenden1st
I heard true path’s 111 old name was unknown saint 111, eventually, he got so much hate because of his cringe, and controversial opinions, he changed his name
In conclusion this guys a troll
Chiu ChunLing
…
You realize that everyone in this setting is reincarnated?
MC being Zakkart’s reincarnation only means that Vida was able to notice and help him and that he had four champions worth of empty space to explain his enormous MP. Well boo-hoo, can’t handle having a goddess on his side or him having enormous MP, so let’s start him off as a human baby with no special powers starving to death in a slum after his mom got knifed by an angry customer.
The End.
Happy?
polynesianvibez
she was really obsessed with zakkart huh
thanks for the chapter
Wsteven7o7
But at the same time i think zakkart is a great guy.
I don’t think using radiation was the brightest but definitely would have finish the job.
Khulmach
“With this, the champions capable of defeating me have perished!” The Demon King Guduranis was said to have made this loud declaration after breaking Zakkart’s soul.
Zakkart was so much of a threat Demon King ignored everyone else
Bellwood caused far more damage
And even now, Bellwood and the others were struggling to restore this ruined world. Because their powers were specialized for battle, though they were able to exterminate the monsters lef t behind by the Demon King, they were nothing more than amateurs when it came to agriculture and manufacturing.
All a bunch of battle idiots and Alda is only appointing adventures who would be S class.
So a bunch of battled idiots.
Erelorial
Thanks for the chapter! So he should eventually get in touch with Vida. And with all the Processing abilities and Spirit Form heads, he should be able to understand the Divine Messages in their entirety.
Wsteven7o7
Im still not sure more if spirit form would really give more thinking power by just making more heads.
But ok is a fantasy world.
Brandragoon
I’m gonna go ahead and guess that Rodcorte forget that vans soul was made from the fragments of the champions. He’s given me every reason to believe that he’s a moron so I doubt this is a part of some master plan he put together.
TruePath111
Yeah that’s a flaw in this story. How could he not know that MC was Zakkart? Why would Rodcorte go far in making four of his lives miserable? Who was that imposter that took MC place? Don’t tell me he’s going to be a imposter Zakkart as well?
DarkCarnage
minor spoiler: remember that was a long time ago and the soul moved to earth, died (he never touched it since never gave him powers) reborn, died again giving 3 curses lazily done. rod never had a reason to really look at van’s soul.
phoenix559
I agree it’s a flaw, he has his system in which he can check the reincarnations of individuals. when he checked his current reincarnation and realized it fell into Vida’s circle, then he should have noticed who it was.
UnveilingSage
He can’t check the state of those not in his system so after he noticed it escaped his system it was already too late to sheck this. Also DarkCarnage above is telling the truth.
!!! !!! !!!
Spoiler Ahead: Rodcorte would have noticed when he was reincarnating Van-sama into Origin IF he had given Van-sama his gifts, but as he didn’t he never interacted with Van-sama’s soul and thus didnt notice, more info on this in a futre chapter, but
In conclusion, it’s not a plot hole
Tomhg
The real story plothole to me is that Rodcorte is portrayed as really inept, neglecting the small details multiple times, making assumptions based on incorrect or insufficient evidence which turns into a calamity (or perhaps fate). However despite his gross ineptitude, we are told that he created a ‘flawless system’ that is meticulous and exists across an unknown number of worlds.
With the amount of errors we’ve seen him accumulate in just a few minutes of ‘screen time’, one would expect that his system would be riddled with glitches and people falling through the cracks.
Dr. Steel
Maybe he is skilled in technical use of his power of a god, and that was why he could make the system, combined his experience (he’s been managing hundreds of systems since the dawns of those worlds), but not good with things that don’t act predictably, possibly because for so long he has had his perfect and predictable system. In fact, that makes me think that he had created this system, and after a long time of just letting do its thing he lost his touch and any semblance of competence.
hidefreek
Well, It’s his first time.
And JUST dump everything to his system and nevercare.
Normally everyone will focus during their first task, but Rodcorte is a moron.
He see Braver as simple tool, so as long as one of them succeed, it’s okay for him.
hidefreek
It’s cause by his personality and (severe) self-preseving.
Every God has flawed and Rodcorte is neglect everything except himself.
Those loophole happened because Rod never do it before.
The interfere by sending Braver was his first time, combine with his Perfect system and neglect.
Cause many unknown factor that deviant from his original goal.
(Future chapter will result many result that Rod completely mess up)
SpoopyGhostBro
Because he’s really really bad at everything he does, except dealing with an automated reincarnation system so long as nothing goes wrong
Chiu ChunLing
For crying out loud.
The entire premise of the story hinged on the fact that Rotcortex mixed up two people cause they had names that were pronounced similarly despite being written differently.
He’s consistently incompetent at everything other than running his system.
Disappointed
Way to ruin it for me Mr. Writer. Not only did the author break the whole mystery aspect of Vida, he also ruined the “zero to hero” that our mc was supposed to be.
The Butt Wizard
Jesus Christ, if you hate this so much, as you’ve said multiple fucking times, then stop reading. Maybe you can use that new spare time to find something else to whine about.
UnveilingSage
I like your username. I got a chuckle out of it when I first read it. Where did it come from?
hungsayori
Imagine thinking having a literal one-of-a-kind affinity to death attribute or 100 million mana is a premise of “zero to hero”, nor is it intended to be one in the first place. Your family tree has to be a circle lol
Wsteven7o7
Is the same way Trump provably things he is self made when all his richness comes from his family SMH.
Zero to hero would be someone like snoop dog that lived on the streets and now he is famous as a paper towel, we all now what it is and that it exist.
PS: I used famous people to give a understanding and difference between what is Rich to richer-famous to famous or powerful to powerful. To the true meaning of zero to hero.
WolfLord_Jordon
Thanks for the chapter on a good story
N
Kiradien
Yeah so, I had a theory when Vida was first mentioned, but is she seriously the only competent god in this series universe?
I mean really, the decisions made by Rodcorte and Alda would put their mental age at 5-7 years old. The way he stole her power sounds like a kid in a water gun fight who goes and grabs the hose after losing, and if someone as incapable of counting as Rodcorte were placed in charge of reincarnation of multiple worlds, it’s a wonder how there are any souls remaining… Even Cruella de Vil could count to 101. Hell, it sounds to me like all of Alda’s problems are self inflicted.
Seriously, I know I am reading this late, but I really hope Vandalieu gets the opportunity to destroy all of their souls – these other Gods need to be judged.
Moridin
well, given that he was going to seal her for “madness and crimes against Lamda”, he really had no choice put to take her power. All of the other attributes that the fallen greater gods were to maintain had subordinate gods that sided with Alda to enable the maintenance of their attributes after they were defeated by the Demon King (Alda-Light,sub gods-fire,water,air,earth,time,space), but someone would have to maintain the Life attribute or the world would unravel. Hence, Alda took it… which of course is correct if you accept that he “had no choice” but to seal his sister, the only other intact greater god.
His broken reasoning wasn’t helped by Vida abandoning him to an echo chamber with only his and Bellwood’s voices (and those subordinate gods who mostly sided with him already). Though, not sure it ultimately would’ve gone much different, as considering he’s the god of law (order) and she’s the goddess of life (chaos in some respects), they apparently always argued and it was their siblings that stepped in and cooled them down.
Rod… is a lazy fool, but he’s basically a stereotype of a nerd + network/system admin. Great within his area, but really not much of a ‘people’ person. And both unfortunately and fortunately for Van, mentally lazy when it comes to dealing with events and issues outside of his system.
Shura_takahara
Alda is definely the worst law god i ever saw. heck wumianzhe is a million times better than him.
FishEater
….I mean technically wumianzhe is a god that does nothing but uphold the law…..
Ignoring the legal shady shit.
aerosol31
Well, Wumianzhe is the BEST GOD OF LAW THERE IS. no qualms about that.
DiscoManiak
Well, for me i cant even see how Alda is thinking … As Vida had said through this whole side chapter, Alda was the one who was doing the unreasonable things…
“The Demon King no longer exists, and the gods that were part of his army betrayed him and became our allies. They were doing their best to make up for what they did. So why do you still hate them? The one who tore their chance to atone into pieces is you. The one who teaches that criminals should atone for their wrongdoings, and that they are no longer criminals once they have finished atoning, is you.
Why do you hate the knowledge and technology from Earth so much? It’s thanks to none other than the champions we summoned from that world, Earth, that we even still exist.
Why do you criticize my endeavors so much? The one who couldn’t trust Rodcorte, the one who doubted him, is you.
Why do you try to destroy my children? Why haven’t you noticed that the truly evil gods have taken advantage of that and built a nest inside your pocket?
At this rate, everyone will become exhausted and only destruction will await us, so why?”
Fron this statement and from other chapters we know that Alda is god of law. And yet he is so biased that i even doubt he is even a god. He is acting like a child that believe only he is the truly right one and others that have a different idea from him are the evil ones that should be tortured, killed and destroyed. And he is even little bit narcistic, because from that whole”Alda is the head of the gods” even through he knows he is not a one. (Which is a little spoiler but by not correcting this statement he only make angry other sleeping, because all people believed he is the head of the gods so in process of that took that part and thus he even prolonged the sleeping of many gods.)
kumari
I blame Bellwood. Both him and Zakkart seem to be have a massive influence on their respective gods. I think what Alda’s main objective is to return the world back before the Demon King War which would require killing every single monster and half-monster into extinction. Ridiculously unrealistic but unsurprising with how Alda is.
Darquesse
The simple fact is that Alda is a super conservative individual. Any change to the world, regardless of its potential benefits, will be rejected by him if it has even the slightest detriment. In addition, he has basically been brainwashed by Bellwood’s ideals, and refuses to deviate from them in the slightest.
Bokworm
I wouldn’t say Belwood brainwashed Alda.
Bellwood is a conversationalist, he saw beyond Zakkart’s need of beating the demon kind, to the aftermath of winning.
Zakkart wanted to use biological and chemical weapons, perhaps even nuclear material. Bellwood, knew this stuff would irreversibly destroy the land.
He wanted Lambda to stay pure from foreign influences, he didn’t want earth culture and customs to adulterate Lambda or change its progression ( think Star Trek’s prime directive)
The demon king had already dirtied Lambda by spreading his foreign ideas and cultures into Lada, Bellwood saw his job as one of undping the damage and cleaning the impurities to restore the land to what it was like before the Demon king, Zakkart’s desire to spread earth weapons and earth culture was the same as the demon king spreading his culture.
Alda being the guy incharge of law and order also thought similarly and wanted to purge the land of all impurites.
That is why, although he would forgive native criminals, the evil gods were foreigners who could not be allowed to stay.
It was this reason that he ended up becoming such a xenophobe.
Vida is like a liberal who didn’t understand why purity was so important, she didn’t understand why Alda wanted to keep Lambda free from foreign influences.
SpoopyGhostBro
Except that purity wasn’t important, and Alda’s obsession with how things must be this way or that, has allowed demon king army remnants to grow in power, gods of lambda and Evil God defectors to be weakened due to injury or seals, the maintenance of the world isn’t being carried out properly, devil’s nest continue to spread as they are barely held back at the best of times, and Alda is the only Great God maintaining the world when there should be 12. If Alda chose to not attack, they would literally be twice as well off as they are now. Bellwood spread plenty of ideas and beliefs to the point that he became a GOD. He himself is an outside influence to Lambda.
Whakatewhinau
I would be fucked up for a while if I ever found out I was just a mish-mash of other people’s soul fragments
Dzukelis
Correction, you would be fucked up if you learned even 1% of what was said about these things…
Wsteven7o7
I don’t think i would be f up in any way but i will question my meaning in many way but my conclusion would not affect me.
Alke
Well, he does the same thing to create undeads so I don’t think that it would exactly break him apart to know that he was the result of the same process 😅😅. Besides there is much worse identities than this composite one!for example I would have been ashamed to death if I was the Reincarnation of Bellwood personally 😑😑😑😑
