Interlude B ─ Misguided

"I'm Ulysses the god of errors, a pleasure."

"──Huh?"

Kurono had been sent to his reincarnation.

The god by the name of Ulysses burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I love it when they make that face!"

"I may be a fourth-rate god, but I'm not a failure."

"Let's see..."

The god was checking the world that had been created to send to the young man by the name of Kurono Ichiru.

"Umm, the time is just right, there seems to be some problems since it is impossible for many things to exist without living things intervening."

"Now let's find him the family to send him to... oh, that family looks good and loving, plus it's near the territory of some Redblade, let's go──"

A crack in the blank space formed.

Just like a glass cracking it shattered.

"What is that!"

A black space was in that hole.

Out of it came a group of "people" with skin as white as a wall.

They had a black mask over their eyes.

They were repeating the same thing in unison.

"The end of the abnormals has come."

"The followers of Zeus will perish."

"Perish."

"Perish."

The mysterious beings approached Ulysses who was sweating and slowly walking away as he said.

"W-No way! What are you misguided doing here! Get away from me!"

But he could do nothing, in a matter of seconds the beings called "misguided" grabbed him.

Ulysses began to cry.

"Please, some second level god to help me!"

"I don't want to disappear!"

He was dragged by the misguided ones until he was face to face with them, and they all said something totally different.

"You will be part of the new divine order, a universe where chaos and destruction is the new divine commandment."

They opened their mouths and proceeded to eat Ulysses.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Nooooo, let me please!"

As his skin was ripped off, blue blood could be seen oozing out of his flesh which was transparent.

The reincarnation process was still in progress, one of the misguided watched it and then placed its hand on something similar to a board.

"Reincarnation... unforgivable... a follower of Zeus is unforgivable..."

"Reincarnate on the nearest useless object..."

There on the board that was showing an open field was an ordinary magic stone.

"A stone... perfect for a heretic... heretics deserve to be devoured..."

Once the misguided ones finished devouring Ulysses, a black shadow began to emerge from the hole through which they came.

Little by little it covered everything and then a huge hand approached a floating globe.

One of the misguided muttered.

"Come and eat... Devas..."

◇◇◇

Meanwhile in space.

A hole was opening in the shape of a crack and from it, hundreds or thousands of red insects similar to yellow-eyed mechanical locusts were coming out.

They were heading for a planet, after a few brief moments of the whole horde disappearing.

The planet began to darken and then exploded in its entirety.

Resulting in its extinction.

◇◇◇

-A place located in a totally different space-

Giant footsteps of someone running in high heels echoed in the corridor.

Everything was dark, after a while of running, the door was abruptly opened.

"Onee-sama, bad news!"

"The Deva have attacked a planet again and... it was totally destroyed!"

"... I know."

A beautiful "woman" in an elegant dress and braided bow entered the room.

The room was an office where a pile of books─ scrolls were placed around.

There were millions of them.

In the center of it all was a beautiful "woman" in a blue dress and long hair arranged in a braid.

The woman was holding out her hands to "type" on some sort of blue hologram.

The "holograms" showed millions of situations.

The woman bit her lip and blue blood ran down her chin.

The woman with the braided bow tie was approaching with a sad expression.

"Another planet has been destroyed... that's 4000 in a week."

"Their numbers are increasing drastically, unlike previous centuries, they are growing at a brutal number."

"To make matters worse, the number of 'Misguided Gods' has grown, there are more traitors, they are not only fourth and third level gods, there are also second level ones like you."

"We must act fast before─!"

"Stop."

Said the woman with the long braid with a tear on her cheek.

"As one of Zeus' daughters, it is my duty to guide the worlds to their salvation, but we are not omnipotent or omnipresent as a father. We are only immortal."

"But even if we can live forever, it doesn't mean that others like us can't kill us and turn us into 'void.'"

She lowered her hands and clenched her fists tightly.

"I'm very sorry for that planet, but one of Odin's gifts was that when a planet dies, it will be born again."

"Which planet was it by the way? Sorry, there are too many in my head and I can't remember them all."

"It was a small blue planet vulgarly christened Earth."

"Earth, huh? I wonder how many times it was destroyed by the Deva..."

"Onee-sama... I think it's time to get that project underway."

The braided woman turned to look at her with angry eyes.

"Don't be silly, it's still early. Besides, it's no use if it doesn't develop normally."

"For now, we must do what we can and do our job as goddesses."

"Yes... I understand."

The woman with the braided bow tie left.

But the woman with the braided bow was upset with the current situation.

(I'm so sorry Ulysses. You were always so nice, but now you're not even dust.)

(I'm sorry that the last planet you created will be on the verge of collapse since a planet cannot survive without a god.)

(It would be the same as a baby cannot survive without a mother.)

(Whatever that planet is, it is doomed from the moment its god died.)

Someone once said.

"If god existed, why doesn't it do anything to improve the world?"

If that person were alive and knew god, it would no doubt say to it.

"The same way you work, I do that work thousands of times more than you and without any rest for all eternity."

If Kurono were here, he would undoubtedly understand that his world of games and his reincarnation. Not only are they in grave danger, they are also doomed from the start.

No matter what they do now, the bad end, will eventually fall.
