Three days.

It was quite enough time for the children to recover and get their bodies in top condition.

“It looks like everyone is ready.”

Beatrice had to rule over other countries, and Caesar went with Beatrice to control other countries.

In fact, the only people in our church who could fight against the ancient race and its strong powers were Veronica, Marie, Adele, and Therasia, so the others decided to entrust their respective duties.

Abel and Cecilia were setting a budget and spending money in one way or another, and Ryu was taking advantage of the weaknesses of those in power.

So everyone did what they could.

“First of all, I asked for help from a contemporary warrior, so there will be no problem with protecting the church.”

“Thank goodness.”

“Please feel free to leave.”

So we walked into the desert.

A scorpion that is that huge and yet feeds on humans.

“It’s going to be a pretty fun trip.”

“Anyway, I don’t know who has done this before to be released from the seal.”

As the seal is released, those who come over emit enormous amounts of mana.

It is clear that that mana is both beneficial and poisonous.

This is the mana scattered around the surroundings as the magic that has been melted for a long time with the ancient races, those who eat humans and live with poison and cold in their bodies, dissipates.

There was no way to know exactly what side effects there would be or how it would affect humans.

“First of all… Ah, you can see it over there.”

A being that shows off its gigantic appearance as if to let anyone know that it is the scorpion.

It was that scorpion that looked so weird over there.

“You have to be careful of the hard exoskeleton. Also, the poison is dangerous enough to melt even the toughest creatures, so be careful.”

Terrasia said that and used magic.

The mana vibrated with such overwhelming power that it took his hard exoskeleton and destroyed it, and soon took the shape of a huge hammer and struck the guy on the back.

Of course, it would be better if it were only strong enough to withstand that.

Meee!!!

“…Yeah, it’s already going wild.”

“It’s harder than I thought. No, that’s not true. It seems like that exoskeleton offsets mana in the first place.”

She poured out more magic as if she was curious.

Oh my god, if the magic doesn’t work… Besides me, only Veronica and Marie can attack.

“As expected, the name ‘ruler of the desert’ was not an illusion.”

“Let me get rid of this.”

I had originally planned to fight with these children to increase their capabilities and help them if they became dangerous, but it was more dangerous than I thought.

You have to be at this level to become one of the best beings in ancient times.

Even though they may not be able to defeat God, I could see exactly why they were said to be people who wanted to confront God.

“Speak freely, child. Who brought you here?”

We made it possible for him to speak using language.

To be precise, his thoughts were just coming out as language.

“Si, God…God…!!!”

It seems like he can’t speak the language properly.

He shouted and jumped at me, spraying poison.

I easily blocked the charge in front of me and then grabbed the scorpion’s tail with great force and ripped it off.

And right after that, he used his divine power to create the shape of a huge hammer just like Terrasia before and stamped it like that.

The guy’s head got hit.

“Well, you’re still alive. Tell me. Who called you here?”

“S-God…..Evil, God…”

I didn’t know if that was an answer to my question, or if he just looked at me and said I was an evil spirit.

However, he died, and no one could hear what it meant to him.

“…There’s another one around here, so let’s target that one as well.”

“Please wait a moment.”

Since Terrasia was a rare material, it seemed like they wanted to take it all.

I put the body in subspace and moved on to my next destination.

It was not a being in the middle of the desert like a scorpion.

But, doesn’t it seem quite imposing and funny to see a single house in the middle of the desert?

“Guest, nice to meet you, long time no see, God.”

“Well, nice to meet you, kid.”

Fortunately, no one showed the will to fight right away, so I planned to coexist if possible, and if that didn’t work out, get information and kill them.

“I, give, information, God, protect, my life.”

“Yes, I will make it possible for you to become a naturalized citizen as well.”

“…Seeing that you can have this level of conversation while in the desert…I think it’s Lillin.”

Lilin.

….who is that?

“The devil, that’s a devil from ancient times. They say that in the distant past, devils were rather pure beings who blessed and coexisted with others.”

Why was the devil such a being?

Just as pets take after their owners, if you were under Damian, you would have to be evil and vicious to the core.

“I believe, master.”

“Okay, feel free to come here.”

“Even though he was a devil, he killed the ancient devil king, so you can see how powerful his power is.”

Something like that even happened.

If he had ascended directly to the rank of the Demon King in ancient times, he would have been quite strong.

…As expected, it seems like those who were unsealed are people who were quite famous even in ancient times.

…Someone must have intentionally broken the seal and scattered that mana into the world.

“I know, the one who broke the seal. Her, the dress, the big horns, the white skin, the white eyebrows.”

“…I see.”

“Also, she said. Kill the evil spirit.”

Told you to kill me.

“The cost of releasing the seal. I refused, banned, placed, and released the seal.”

They placed a ban on you, and even though you refused, they released the seal?

Can’t you control it to your heart’s content?

“She is leaving. North.”

Since they appeared almost simultaneously, there is a high probability that it was not just one person.

At that time, if we think about the king of the Dekarson Kingdom, he was also summoned by offering wealth, and it would be correct to say that the seal was broken.

Anyway, didn’t he also give orders to the ancient race?

And why isn’t this information banned?

Was what I found out also a plan, or did I simply fail to completely enforce the prohibition?

In fact, since it was not difficult to impose a ban on races higher than themselves, they decided to assume that it was not perfect because they only imposed a minimum ban at first.

“The seal can be broken, and anyone can do it as long as there is an offering.”

A seal placed by God himself.

Is it possible to lift the seal with one’s own hands and use the offering to place a ban on it?

If you think about the minimum safety insurance, why did you spread them out into the world?

Who benefits from doing this?

“…It looks like the apocalypseists themselves are moving.”

“They would have already completely destroyed it.”

“First of all, there is no harm in being suspicious, so keep an eye on him.”

Apocalypseists.

The final boss in the original was, of course, an evil deity, but up until that point, the people who constantly showed their faces to the main character and attended were the apocalypseists.

Sometimes he instigates, sometimes runs a cult, and sometimes prepares for assassination.

Of course, in the end, they were horribly exploited and foolishly abandoned by the evil religion, but they were the only ones who benefited the most now.

If your faith in Lucia weakens and your prayers for me waver, that’s where you’ll ultimately head.

It was strange that they knew this information, but it seemed like it would be a good idea for them to investigate once more while looking into the other side.

“It’s been a while, evil spirit. For the first time since the destruction.”

“So, can you tell me about that destruction?”

“Forbidden, you walked, to everyone.”

They put a ban on everyone?

Can’t I solve it?

“Lift the ban….”

[The shackles of the story remind [Damian] of the prohibition.]

….What were you trying to say?

Looking around, Veronica and Adele were looking around, and it seemed quite fascinating that an ancient race lived in Terrasia as well.

Marie…I guess she just went out to look around.

“Then let’s listen to it later, and let’s go to the Evil God Church together.”

“I’m ready, Jim.”

She didn’t even need an hour to prepare her luggage.

Anyway, first I have to organize the information I got here.

A being with white skin, white eyebrows, a dress, and horns.

“…Okay, I remembered.”

Suddenly something jumped out of my memory.

It’s not my memory.

Damian’s memories, memories of the original owner of this body from the distant past, were clear.

“…Petrania.”

Infrequently, information flowed from deep within my memory.

Petrania, an ancient demon and being who opposed God and could act and plan anything.

A witch who massacres magicians who are also excellent at magic.

“The best strategist…”

Why are all these people saying that they are so smart?

Oh, so you were able to survive until now?

“Mari, nice to meet you. Are you still by my side?”

“…It’s been a while, Mr. Lilin.”

They spoke in small voices from behind, but I could hear them clearly.

…Lilin knows Mari, and Mari also knows Lilin?

Then, Marie, from ancient times to now….

‘…I’m not sure.’

I felt like my head was becoming more complicated.
