Chapter 87-88: The continuation of the legend

  • 87: The continuation of the legend

The story this time has reached its end.

What comes next is something like sorting out the information for the next step.

“Was it okay to leave the Underworld Country like that?”

For now, we have left the ‘Nameless Desert’ and returned to the Light capital, Apollon City where I once again ask Yorishiro this.

Suddenly bringing back a girl of unknown origins, and suddenly telling the higher-ups of the Church that she will be raising her herself threw them into chaos, but Yorishiro is not the type who would falter at something like this.

“Yeah, I thought that it would be best to have that city sleep for a while more.”

If the existence of the Dark Underworld Country is revealed, it will be a big historical discovery and the whole world would make a ruckus about it.

Every church would send an investigation team, and the once peaceful land might bustle in activity.

“The more that city is investigated, the more unbeneficial facts for the five great Churches will be dug out. They haven’t matured enough to permit this.” (Yorishiro)

“The city itself might be erased completely.” (Haine)

That land that had been destroyed by the whim of the Gods once, would be destroyed once again by the humans that hold authority. That’s certainly not something I could swallow.

Karen-san was also convinced by that explanation and promised to keep it a secret.

“And so, with this, my duty has finished-desu ne” (Yorishiro)

Saying this, Yorishiro takes out a magnetic compass that’s ornamented quite a bit.

If I remember correctly, this is a treasured article of the Light Church, the ‘Needle of Guidance’. By pouring light divine power into it, it would point at the direction of the place one desired.

“That’s…actually just a normal compass, right?” (Haine)

“Yeah. It is an antique that one of the Cardinals splurged money to make. It is made of a luxurious arrangement of gold and silver, but the use itself is that of a normal compass. It is something that I was given on a certain day as a bribe.” (Yorishiro)

Light and magnetism have similar properties. By using the light divine power, she can move the compass the way she wants. For the Light Founder and incarnation of the Light Goddess, this must have been a piece of cake.

And, for this girl who has the past life of being the queen of the Underworld Country, Izanami, it wouldn’t be strange for her to know of the location of the Underworld Country from the very beginning. As long as she moves the compass needle to the direction she wants…

“So that was only a prop to guide Karen-san and I to the Underworld Country huh.” (Haine)

“Yeah, for the sake of properly hiding the past that I am the queen Izanami. An item that shows the location of the thing you desire just by wishing for it; there’s no way such a convenient item exists.” (Yorishiro)

Saying this, Yorishiro threw the flashy normal compass in the guise of the ‘Needle of Guidance’ to a drawer in the corner of the room. It is probably the place for things that will never be taken out again.

“It would be problematic if this comes out in a conversation in the future, so let’s just say that it was lost in the confusion at the Underworld Country. I am counting on Haine-san to match up the story.” (Yorishiro)

“Got it.” (Haine)

“And so, Haine-san, what brings you here tonight? You purposely came at the time when Doraha was sleeping. As expected, your business has to do with those troublesome ones, right?” (Yorishiro)

We can finally enter the main topic.

Since the time she had Doraha at her side, Yorishiro’s bewitching nature has gone dormant, and in place of that, a feeling of motherhood has been prominent.

Even when I came to her room this late at night, she didn’t tease me by saying ‘are you crawling on my bed tonight?’, which helps me out, and, at the same time, it felt kind of lonely.

“…I want to hear in detail the things that happened after the Underworld Country fell.” (Haine)

“Okay… When I took off my body of queen Izanami and returned to being the Light Goddess Inflation, those guys all got surprised and grew flustered.” (Yorishiro)

By those guys, she refers to the four Base Elements that destroyed the Underworld Country.

Those guys didn’t know that the queen was the incarnation of the Light Goddess Inflation when they destroyed the Underworld Country huh.

“The face they made when they learned the truth, it was like a child who had their prank discovered by their mother. The Mother Earth Mantle got flustered and helped me out in sealing the Underworld Country…… At that time, it would have been fine to scold them and cause a new battle of Gods…but I didn’t do that.” (Yorishiro)

“Why?” (Haine)

“The first reason was because logic was in their side.” (Yorishiro)

“No way.” (Haine)

“It isn’t. In the past, we five Gods gathered to a united idea of ‘humans are below Gods’ and sealed you. And yet, I hid the fact that I had gone to the surface world, provided humans with culture, and had them progress. Doesn’t that mean I broke the agreement?” (Yorishiro)

Is that how it works?

For me who is in the side of humans, this logic is a bit hard to swallow though.

“I am one of the two poles, but I don’t hold that much advantage against the other four Base Elements compared to you, the Dark God. If I were to try using force to bring it to a conclusion, I might have even ended up like you. If you and I -both poles- were to get sealed, things would have gotten even worse.” (Yorishiro)

And then, Yorishiro —no, the Light Goddess Inflation said,

“I decided on a plan.” (Yorishiro)

“A plan?” (Haine)

“When the four Base Elements reunited with me, they began lining up excuses. As expected, they said things like ‘you were the one who broke the agreement and made the humans smarter’. And so, I created this mean.” (Yorishiro)

‘The reason why I ruled and guided them was in order to collect something from the humans’, is what she told the other Gods to gloss over things.

“What in the world did you tell them you were collecting?” (Haine)

“Prayer Energy.” (Yorishiro)

Prayer…

Now that she says it, I do feel like Nova and Coacervate mentioned something like that…

“This is something that I discovered by chance while I was spreading the religion of the Dark God Entropy in the Underworld Country as the queen Izanami. A type of energy in the heart of humans. When the human heart directs pure respect and affection towards a God, that heart will become mellow energy and be send towards the God.” (Yorishiro)

“So that’s what a prayer is huh.” (Haine)

“That’s right. Divine power is another form of heart energy from humans. I mentioned the existence of this to the four Base Elements, and advised them to have a taste of it. And then, they were soon enslaved by it.” (Yorishiro)

The power of human’s prayers…made the Gods drunk and enslaved them.

Are you telling me the human’s heart has that much power?

“The Gods that assimilate this Prayer Energy will have their strength increased, and, on top of that, its taste is exceptional. The Gods soon wanted to gather as much prayers as possible and began doing many experiments for that sake. The establishment of a church was a part of it. In order to stabilize the number of prayers, they created an organization that worshipped them.” (Yorishiro)

“And the ones who became the foundation of it were the foreign enemies that attacked the Underworld Country huh.” (Haine)

“Just as you have concluded. The four Base Element Gods that had now created churches, ordered them to attack the surrounding settlements to obtain more believers, forced them to join the church, and increased their influence. Humans literally became livestock that offered prayers to Gods. That kind of era continued for around a millennium. It was a hard to endure era. And then, a change occurred.” (Yorishiro)

“Ethereal.” (Haine)

The machine culture brought by the discovery of Ethereal.

Because of this, the hearts of the humans distanced themselves from the Gods. The energy that was gathered also lessened.

“That’s why they utilized a method like monsters and acted such a cheap farce. And when not even that was working, they threw a tanthrum, and were driven to kill their own believers without any distinction.” (Haine)

“That’s right. But the current Gods…can’t wipe out the humans anymore -just like how they wiped out the Underworld Country. They wouldn’t be able to destroy all the five capitals where the Grand Churches are located and kill all the humans.” (Yorishiro)

“Why?” (Haine)

“In the period of time that was close to a millennium, they indulged on the Prayer Energy of humans. This brought an unexpected change in them.” (Yorishiro)

  • Chapter 88: This must end

“The four Base Element Gods…can’t live without Prayer Energy anymore?!” (Haine)

“That’s right. They exploited the humans of Prayer Energy for far too long, and drowned too much in its taste. For them, Prayer Energy is already on the same level as oxygen. If they have a shortage of it, they won’t be able to maintain their own existence.” (Yorishiro)

Being told this reality, I was shocked.

At the same time, I have now understood something. So that’s the reason why they were so attached to humans after I returned 1,600 years later.

And it is no doubt the bad type of attachment.

In the eyes of someone like me who knew them in the past, this gave out a really out-of-place sensation.

In the past, the Gods of Creation were a lot more indifferent towards humans. It was as if they didn’t care about them at all.

“So they already can’t live without humans anymore?” (Haine)

“That’s right. If humans fall, the prayers that were supplied would be lost, and at the same time, the Gods would fall as well.” (Yorishiro)

Gods would die?

Something as big as that would occur?

“Then, you, who formed the Light Church as well, have been eroded by the prayer energy?” (Haine)

“I am grateful for the prayers of the people, but I didn’t indulge in them. I managed to notice how dangerous the Prayer Energy was from the very beginning. That’s why I am the same as the time when you were sealed 1,600 years ago.” (Yorishiro)

Hearing this, I was slightly relieved.

But Yorishiro -the Light Goddess Inflation- knew how dangerous the prayers were, and yet, she encouraged the Gods to it while hiding this truth.

How scary.

But that probably shows just how angered she was with the four Base Element Gods that destroyed the Underworld Country.

So those four Base Element guys had changed in such a way in these 1,600 years huh.

It is true that there’s a point that bothers. They can’t live without humans, and even when they have been driven to such boundaries, they still look down on humans huh.

Truly beyond salvation.

“On the other hand, humans do not need Gods.” (Yorishiro)

“Ah, so that’s how it is.” (Haine)

This is one of the misunderstandings in this world.

Gods are not necessary at all to maintain this world.

The work of Gods is to create worlds.

Once the creation is done, their job is over. There’s nothing more to do.

That’s why, the Gods that have nothing to do anymore are simply squeezing out the spiritual energy of the ones living in this world. That’s all they are doing.

“Even if the Gods need the world, the world already has no need for Gods. In that case, we just have to separate them.” (Haine)

“The reason why I made them addicted to the Prayer Energy was…for revenge.” (Yorishiro)

Yorishiro said this resolutely.

“They destroyed the Underworld Country that I raised for the sake of my dear Entropy and ended up loving it as much as I love him. This is my revenge. The biggest bottleneck until now has been the seal that the all five of us placed on you.” (Yorishiro)

The seal the five Gods placed couldn’t be undone without all five Gods.

“But, after waiting more than a millennium for the seal to weaken naturally, I was finally able to undo it by myself. There’s already nothing to distress about. Haine-san –no, Dark God Entropy, please remove the harmful existences of this world.” (Yorishiro)

“What should I do?” (Haine)

“First of all, the most important thing would be to remove the harm that are the monsters. Those pseudo-lifeforms that have no soul are the villains that the Gods have created in order to maintain the faith to Gods. Once that harmful existence is gone, the need for Gods will finally be gone.” (Yorishiro)

Completely eliminating monsters huh.

Now that I think about it, Coacervate said this: ‘We Gods have created Mother Monsters that can give birth to monsters infinitely and released them into the world’.

“So we just have to defeat the fire, water, earth, and wind Mother Monsters that are somewhere in this world.” (Haine)

“Because the faith has decreased, the weakening of the four Base Element Gods has accelerated. In order to create Mother Monsters, there’s the need to pour several tens of times more divine power than that of the Fire Cow Phalaris and the Great Sea Dragon Hydra Serpent. Once the Mother Monsters are defeated, they probably won’t be able to make one again.” (Yorishiro)

So what must be done is already in sight huh.

“Light Goddess, are you fine with that?” (Haine)

I ask just to confirm.

Because she is also one of the six Gods that created this world after all.

“I don’t mind. At any rate, I am currently Yorishiro, one of the humans that lives in this world. If there’s an option that can bring good to the humans, it should be executed without hesitation.” (Yorishiro)

“Right. Let’s just think about what we should do as Gods after our current lives are over.” (Haine)

In this way, we began to act.

For the sake of humans and not for the sake of Gods; for the sake of recovering a world that humans can live in.

***

“With that wrapped up…” (Yorishiro)

“Hm?”

The look of Yorishiro suddenly changed.

“Haine-san, is it true that you kissed Karen-san?” (Yorishiro)

“Ugh!”

Why does she know that?!

Even though I kept silent about it because I knew that it would definitely be a pain if it were known!

“Karen-san disclosed it to me herself. ‘I am sorry for stealing the march’, she said. She really is a honest girl to the core. Compared to that, Haine-san, did you think it would not be a problem as long as it wasn’t discovered?” (Yorishiro)

“Uhm, no no no…” (Haine)

“So for me it was a slap on the cheek, and for Karen-san it was a kiss in the lips huh. It truly shows the difference in treatment here-desu wa ne.” (Yorishiro)

Is she talking about the slap I gave her for her sake?!

After hearing her revenge plan against the four Base Elements and what is happening right now, I am now convinced; this woman is quite vindictive.

“No you see, that slap was something I did exactly because I see you as someone important…” (Haine)

No, that’s not it. What I have to say right now is not that.

“You said it before, right? That once I learned about the sin you committed in the past, I would hate you.” (Haine)

“Y-Yes…” (Yorishiro)

“It didn’t make me hate you, you know? I am truly sorry for making you carry so many things on your back all by yourself in these 1,600 years.” (Haine)

And then, I hugged Yorishiro.

I held admiration towards this girl that has been living under many names for a long time.

“Haine-san, as I thought, I do want to live in this body with all I can-desu wa. As the Yorishiro that can live in the same time as you. Give birth to your child and raise it; have Doraha grasp the happiness that she was unable to grasp in her time at the Underworld Country; and I also want to get along with Karen-san in all that time.” (Yorishiro)

“You have a lot of wishes. But, that’s exactly why life is long.” (Haine)

“Yeah. Please fill my life…with a lot of wishes.” (Yorishiro)

Without saying any more than that, our lips overlap.

It was a sweet transient time before the fierce battle that will be unfolding from here on. <TL: in the sheets>

            AND I CAN’T BULLY HIM AGAIN TOO~~!!
            (╥_╥)huhuhuhu(╥_╥)
            .
            .
            .
            (╥_╥) My life(comment community) as I know it, is over with this….(╥_╥)

          2. NOT YOURS! you flying, logic defying orca! the title of the novel that became your first and one of your favourite that you were tlaking about with sein. it sounds interesting so I want to check it out later. btw I’ve read your novel’s prologue and chapter 1! its interesting! havent comment on your site yet though! I will post my full impression later!

          3. 🙂
            The one that I and Seinvolf share isn’t a novel. It’s a manga and anime.
            Ah! My Goddess or (Aa! Megami-sama in romaji) is the title you’re looking for.
            If you want to read it, thread carefully because it’s quite an old one and the publication went for 26 years.

          4. Erh!! We shouldn’t discuss this any further…

            I’m gonna LOSE my place inside Flying Orca’s Brotherhood Ranking…IF THIS GOES ON ANY LONGER !!!

            Stop! Stop! STOP GIVING BROTHERHOODS FOR HIMMM~~!!!

            MY FLYing ORcaaaaa~~!! *Shouts at the Seashore*

          5. I know Oh! My Goddess!(one of my inspiration to watch Anime when I was a kid last time) But I dunno Abenobashi?

            Looks like our pikliBear dunno some old anime and manga much(except that SonoMono picture his using in his profile…)…hihi….

            Off Topic:
            I’m sad for SonoMono’s Light Novel, no one translate it yet. I want to do it (I’m such a dork anyway) but translations seems hard with all that gibberish words….I really do respect translators for doing that! I mean it!!

            Since I said it, I’ll say it now,
            THX FOR ALL OF THE TRANSLATION REIGOKAI-SAMA!!(and also to all the other translators too!! Thank you~!)
            …..I’m not going anywhere, just saying my appreciation…..

          6. That was the mangaka’s drawing style.
            Keiichi is also portrayed as a normal looking guy with normal heights. Hence, people got jealous when they see him with Belldandy.

          7. That pretty much what cause him to land into trouble through the series. The 1 that I like that cause him trouble the most was when Belldandy got drunk on Cola and she cause crazy miracles. And the 1 where Keiichi was affected by an evil curse which the only way to relieve it was for Belldandy to due ridiculous sins.

          8. Wow that is really something. I did not know that it lasted for 26 years, I only focus on the anime.

      1. Our Orca is Flesh and Blood now, Not Metal and Oil.
        Of course his weak. You can’t blame em’!
        Though he can still bring people to the other world…just be careful when you see him, or you’ll get ea-…*chomp* *om nom nom*….

    1. Well well well~
      Good for you, I have given up getting top5 now days. I can if I try(by ignoring my customers just to get to the top5).
      But I’m not gonna do it just for that.

      Btw pikli, are you ignoring our comments(about Orca’s novel) on purpose? I mean, I hardly see your opinion on the matter. Just curious.
      Ouh and Flying Orca-san, I haven’t read chapter2 but I bet Psychronia have comments on it!
      Good luck ~!

        1. Huh? You writing an original story, you tasty- I mean, flying orca? I’m also writing something that I try to post one chapter a week, at least. What’s it about? What genres? Is it about trucks? I think I’ll take a look in due time.

          1. If you are saying lines from Star Wars ep 4 then I will meet with him again. Where tell me an important message.

      1. No I’m not ignoring it on purpose, I just learned about it just now. Y know? Ill tell you a little secret… I’ve been scanning all the light novels I read lately since I just got so busy… I only got like the main point of the story, and I intent to re-read them later down the road but for now… I can’t even read the goddamn comment section in peace… that’s why my comment lack the brains and my usual proper mannerism(lol). I’ll be visiting Orca’s website sometime after my schedule calms down a little bit, and I want to read some of psychronia’s too, if only I have the time to do that… hahaha…

      2. Btw… I got to read the newest chapters by Reigokai-sama in detail so I’m pretty sure about the credibility in my comment in those 2 chapter (just don’t want you guys to think of me as a liar, since I don’t like liars myself)… and for TsukiMichi? Even if I have to stop listening to my teacher’s lesson I WILL make some time to carefully read them! Since its TsukiMichi after all~

      3. Another btw… can I know where are you guys discussing about orca’s original story? I want to join inNthe conversation too, I’m sure I got the time to continue my own story tomorrow and I could use that time to read you guy’s discussions about orca’s OS.

          1. yea thx, i just woke up and hurriedly checked if you replied yet… and luckily HA! here you are~ thank you ffor the fast replies, I will check it as soon as i can. well gtg now classes awaits my presence~

    1. oh crap, sorry, don’t know why it didn’t show the brackets….wait, it does! Yeah, I added that one. But well, isn’t it already widely known that those are my comments?

      Might as well just delete that, don’t want to cause misunderstandings.

    2. The moment I read that T.L note, I forgot the whole story. My mind blanked.
      Now I’m reading it again.

      Who is Haine again? I remember something something happening underground. Or was it under the sheet?

  1. I knew it she was going to be the main wife, pshhhh she was jealous but never actually wanted to seal him. Now I want to see what the shadow hero looks like

  2. “Haine-san, as I thought, I do want to live in this body with all I can-desu wa. As the Yorishiro that can live in the same time as you. Give birth to your child and raise it; have Doraha grasp the happiness that she was unable to grasp in her time at the Underworld Country; and I also want to get along with Karen-san in all that time.” (Yorishiro)

    “You have a lot of wishes. But, that’s exactly why life is long.” (Haine)

    “Yeah. Please fill my life…with a lot of wishes.” (Yorishiro)

    Without saying any more than that, our lips overlap.

    It was a sweet transient time before the fierce battle that will be unfolding from here on.

    oh my~~ did Yorishiro(Inflation) finally got filled by Haine(Enthropy) ‘power’ ? *lenny face*

      1. sry , if that’s the problem i cant help you, i only help a cute onee-san~ and a cute lolies~ but if helping other with ‘that’ kind of problem, count me out :3
        i have my own Dignity as a Perverts too you know…

    1. My imagination gone wild that I got distracted at work lol from reading this line till the last part

      I guess I read to much doujinshi to imagine where this is going
      ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

        1. Nah I wasn’t expecting what happened next
          Just curious of “what if” like that lol since it become habit of mine
          Hahaha
          Ever wonder why some pro artist cab make an awesome fanbooks
          Hehehe

  3. Well first, the obligatory celebration on the ship not only sailing, but docking in its destination. WOO HOO! ROMANCE-GET! SHEET BATTLE! SHEET BATTLE!
    It “only” took a refreshingly short 90 chapters and was well paced the whole way through. Kudos to the author.

    Now that that’s out of the way…Wait, what? Light and magnetism? How are those the same? Is there some sort of scientific basis I’m missing?
    …Well, that sure brings new possibilities out when it comes to experimenting with combined elements, hasn’t it?

    Speaking of experiments, Inflation effectively getting the base Elements addicted to a drug with plans to kill them with withdrawal is…uh…wow. I’m not gonna say they don’t deserve it, but that’s…pretty brutal. Hell hath no fury…

    I would have loved to see the scene when Inflation shed Izanami though. The idea of Nova and Coacervate being so surprised all they can do is babble some lame excuses is hilarious.

    I think it’s also my first encounter with the concept of prayer energy played straight too. I’ve known it for a long time already, but I can’t think of any instances where I’ve actually seen it clearly used.

    1. Well, when you think about how Light becomes Lightning when you add fire, i guess it could be related to electromagnetism. At least in a world where Dark Matter is the form of true darkness.

      And i knew it, inflation was the true mastermind behind the fall of Gods, she may even be pouring her share of the prayer energy back into the land to form the Ethereal.

      1. I’m rather curious what sort of blends Light has now.
        …Also, does anyone know what happens when you apply magnetic forces to actual Dark Matter?

        Prayer energy becoming Ethereal, huh? So in essence, humans really are creating their own divine power? I wonder what can come of that…

    2. Yeah~ Yorishiro and Karen get’to!!
      Now that Haine cares for the both of them, he can’t ignore it any longer. It’s refreshing to see Haine-san accepts them, instead of delays it, unlike other MCs.
      We’ll have to wait on Doraha cause, even Karen-san and Yorishiro-san gotta wait for 90 chapters.
      Now then, I wonder how is this, Earth Goddess arc is gonna be……..
      NO SPOILERS RAIZU-SAN!!

  4. Thanks for the chapter. When I think of magic compass it reminds of that movie “The Golden Compass”. Pray energy sounds more like a drug or alcohol for the other gods, I wondering if Haine in the future will be force in someway (somebody close to being threaten) to swallow some pray energy. He have to fight against the mother of all Element of Monsters, sounds something similar which Bell from “Is it Wrong to Pick Up a Girl in a Dungeon”, that (Hermes for 1) wants him to defeat the Black Dragon.

      1. True if it is a grudge similar like the guy against Miyagi in “Karate Kid 2” then it would more like a oath, but I think if it does happen it would be a good opportunity for the heroine or heroines to rescue him. But will see if it does happen.

        1. I don’t know… Their body is that of normal human, only their souls are gods.
          If the child is born, he/she most probably will be normal human.
          Unless a god enters the body.

          1. The way I see it, the child would normally be human, but the issue is that both parents have extremes in their elemental affinity. It might influence the child’s birth in some strange ways.

  5. Thx for the Chappy ~!

    “Even when I came to her room this late at night, she didn’t tease me by saying ‘are you crawling on my bed tonight?’, which helps me out, and, at the same time, it felt kind of lonely.”

    Oooo~~ Our Haine-san is lonely~~
    Does getting hit on by Yorishiro-san felt good~~?

    1. I think we’ve covered that Entropy gets lonely easily. I’m kinda hoping we explore this a bit more just for fun.

      ……Oh gee. Actually, I wonder if he’s going to have attachment problems when it comes to separating from humanity as gods? It’s like an existential scale equivalent of a parent seeing their child leave the nest forever.

  6. Sweet end for this arc ~

    So the prayer energy is like “drugs” for them… cannot live witout it anymore…
    Thats sweet revenge plan you have oppai goddess ~

  7. Light Church Rumor #19: Using his ability to use a suspicious power not of the divine elements we know of, Kuromiya Haine kept a girl young at the age of 14 for an unimaginably long period of time!
    Suspicious! Is he even a human created by the 6 gods!? And what suspicious plans does he have for a girl!
    How envious! Keep us looking young too!

    Light Church Rumor #20: Kuromiya Haine has been overheard naming Founder Yorishiro-sama and himself as gods themselves.
    Arrogance! Heresy! Cast this sinner out from our church!
    Let’s calm down. That’s just way too unbelievable. Besides, that guy acts impudently, but is quite humble and respectful to Yorishiro-sama. It’s probably just rumors blown out of proportion.
    ….Yeah, okay. Such a crazy thought is a bit too absurd to believe as truth.

    Fire Church Rumor #1: Fire Hero Katack Mirack is actually in love with Light Hero Kourin Karen!
    “…”
    “How to put this…”
    “… ‘Yeah?’ ‘So?’ Or something like that…?”

    Fire Church Open Secret #1: Fire Hero Katack Mirack is actually in love with Light Hero Kourin Karen.
    “W-Who is spreading these strange ideas around!?”

  8. Thanks for the chapter.
    Good to see that the romance is coming along well. I’m a little reluctant because it’s a harem, but it doesn’t feel like your average harem so I’ll go with it.

  9. This set of chapters has had Entropy have a 180 change in his opinion of Inflation. Before he was confused and skeptical of her love, but now he accepts it and unless I miss interpreted things, he’s begun to reciprocate it.

      1. Only those 4 idiots are gonna die as they will die once their prayer energy disappeared.
        Inflation and Entropy would remain forever that they cannot die as they are pure gods unlike the rest of the four. They can die in the mortal plane but in the God Realm only sealing is the way for being defeated.

        1. Well, my point here is that it’s possible Inflation is hiding her own dependence on human prayer energy from Haine.

          It might be less dire, but it’s possible her life is still being threatened by the end of prayer energy, so she’ll eventually die too-even she lasts longer than the other four.

  10. Yey finally a clear goal
    1. Destroy all mother monsters
    2. Disconnect the gods from this world
    3. Make a Harem and live a happ- *cough*
    Thanks for the chap ~

  11. I’ve read the chapter twice and I can’t shake this … ‘feel’ that I’m feeling
    (forgive my lack of vocabulary, but I really don’t know any word that can describe this ominuous feelings)

    It turns out that making the four element gods addicted to ‘prayer energy’ is part of Inflation’s revenge (I feel sorry for Mantle though). The energy gave them strength, but at the expense of their life / existence. After 1000 years of using it, they can’t exist without it anymore.

    Can a millenia of usage really influence them like that? What about taking in moderation like Inflation said? Is there really no adverse effect?

    I speculate that even taking the energy in moderation leaves a negative impact.

    Inflation was the first god that found and used it, until she figures out the effect that it gives. I’m pretty sure that she has experienced the negative effect…

    Then, another question arise. If the energy strengthens the gods, there’s a good chance that the seal they put on Entrophy will also get strong. Though this is only if their power channels into the seal.

    Whatever the case is, Inflation really don’t have the strength to unseal Entrophy alone without the help of the other gods. Even if the seal weakens, she is alone and the other gods got stronger with the ‘prayer energy’.

    I think she has used the energy to be strong enough to broke the seal. She must’ve used a lot of said energy… and also got affected by it’s negative aspect.

    INFLATION HERSELF MUST’VE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE PRAYER ENERGY LIKE OTHER GODS AND WILL PERISH WHEN THE GOD’S CONNECTION TO HUMANS SEVERED.

    In that sense, encouraging Haine to do it is akin to suicide. She must’ve already know what fate will come for her and the four gods. Hence, the desperation to confess to Haine because this is her last life (both as a human and a god).

    1. Whoa, and the fact that loneliness Haine mentions from time to time. Could it be that it’s foreshadowing that everyone he might hold dear in his life and future lives will be gone by the passage of millenia and he’ll be a lonely god until the end of time?

      1. Thinking deeper, that would happen if Entrophy becomes the only god that exists and the others perished.
        Maybe he will end his life as a god too after he and Inflation cuts the link between them and humans.
        (Though that might only happen after Haine becomes old and die and soul returns to the god’s realm)

      2. Now that I think about it, I could probably see this ending with Entropy and possibly Inflation abandoning their divinity to just become humans.

        Possibly with a bit more privilege as reincarnating humans that keep old memories, but certainly not gods anymore.

    2. Firstly, I think the word you’re looking for is “Foreboding”?

      Secondly…Oh dear. It’s not entirely out of character for Inflation as we know her. Which is gonna leave Entropy with his loneliness at the end of it all.

      I’m comparing prayer energy to addictive substances like drugs or alcohol. Overdoing it will lead to withdrawal symptoms that can actually kill you, but use in moderation-or even a more minor addiction-isn’t fatal.

      Though, I’m pretty sure the seal doesn’t have any input to it from the gods after it was made. It gradually weakened, after all. Why would any of them risk Entropy reawakening if they could just occasionally strengthen the seal? My assumption was that the other gods had just reached a point where they were actually too weak to even reinforce the seal.

  12. Inflation is… probably insane. She’s been coldly engineering deicide for a millennia. Her manipulation effectively turned the other gods into spiritual vampires dependent on upon humans. Then when they’re hopelessly addicted the humans ‘suddenly’ discover etherial and so and bring the gods into an escalating conflict with humans just before Inflation can wake up entropy? Yeeah.

  13. Thanks for the chapters Reigokai! (●ω<)

    And that last comment killed me XD
    But no, seriously, they need to bang and have a child to see what comes out of that. For the sake of science!

  14. Chappy o arigatai!

    As I thought, Yorishiro really have something for the other 4 gods there, nice one there! And so, earth/wind, which hero’ll fall into Haine’s hand?

  15. Congratulations Reigokai !
    Your site now have over 30 million viewers.


    Or I should say, you have 30 million people transferred.


    Or I’d like to say, you have 30 million harem members.

    1. In his Twitter, Azumi Kei replied to his follower that he “wanted this to continue until the end of Lorel arc” and he will do his best.
      From what I can gather, this refers to the fact that he will continue to update new chapters periodically until Lorel Arc finish.

      Hopefully, this means that there is no hiatus in the near future and he is healthy + doing well now.

    2. I don’t think that’s Yuno, I’ve found a picture before and Yuno looks very similar to Siff, only with short hair that reaches just above her shoulders like a bob cut. The hair style looks more reminiscent of Hibiki and that looks like the type of uniform a person from earth would have before being transported. Hoenstly not sure though.

    1. Hey Friend!
      We all are. That TL: is what makes you think they DID it, right?~
      Actually, we won’t know until next chapter or maybe we just have to imagine it ourselves~
      Your not alone in this (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜

      1. yeah, but I find it odd because I read it upon the immediate release and a vaguely recall that last line being there, so now I’m wondering whether its because i didn’t see it, cuz Rei forgot to put it there, or Rei just put it there for shits-and-giggles.

  16. Pushy agressive girls, that actually get some action! What an unusual pace for a harem novel. Though with only two members & conniving together they each take advantage of any line crossing. Istead of the constant interruption of any intimate moments
    Thanks for the arc

  17. Thanks for the chapter.
    Oh my, they really went and did it. I must say I am actually happy about this developement because I like Inflation and the developement of her character. I am quite looking forward to seeing how the story will progress from here ^^
