Chapter 604.2



I couldn't help but let out a wry smile as the girl nodded in satisfaction.


She looked so dignified at first, yet her mannerisms were childlike.


You're supposed to be the creator God in terms of your position.


In the shadow play that Ruin showed me, this God was depicted as an adult, apparently out of consideration for her.


"So, where is this?" (Yuki)


"Auh!" (Sakuya)


[Oh, a cute baby. A mass of possibility. It feels so nostalgic. I see…] (Gaia)


Gaia approached me and poked Sakuya's cheek.


Because she was already in a translucent, ghost-like state, her hand simply went right through Sakuya, but she still seemed to be smiling happily, and Sakuya was also smiling happily.

After a while, she turned to me and answered my question.

[This is the representation of the world itself. This is also not a dream. You can just think of it as a special space.] (Gaia)


"Do you stay here forever?" (Yuki)


[No, I'm already dead. It's outside the law of the world for the dead to exist in this world. Even in this special place, the rules are the same.] (Gaia)


"So, are you a ghost?" (Yuki)


[Haha, well, that's not wrong in a way. I'm an entity that Dominus created, and can be called an illusion. Calling me a ghost will not be wrong.] (Gaia)


"Created…" (Yuki)


[I exist to speak for Dominus. Dominus cannot speak.] (Gaia)


I guess she was just created to explain what was happening.


"Then tell me, why were we called here?" (Yuki)


[Okay, I'll explain. But it's not that difficult to understand. You are a successor… one of the successors who is supposed to be guided to this place. That's why you ended up here. There's no deep reason behind it.] (Gaia)


I see.


This time, unlike the time with the Divine Spear, I thought it was quite sudden, but it was not that they had any business with me, but simply because I came here, I was automatically called here.


Perhaps Dominus just wanted to see my face.


"Successor…the dungeon is like the seed of Dominus, right?" (Yuki)


[That's right. I asked Ruin, when you were holding the Divine Spear, to guide you along to see the Primitive World.] (Gaia)


(T/N: Primitive World is the world in the Age of Gods. As a skeleton, Ruin cannot speak, so Yuki does not know that the era he was shown was the Primitive World. He only understood that it was at a time during the Age of Gods.)


"… Can I ask about these ruins?" (Yuki)


[Yeah, of course. I don't think you ever imagined it, but this is the Land of Beginning

. A place that was born as a prototype for the world, then abandoned once its role was complete.] (Gaia)

If that was the case… then this place we call Velmore Forest Ruins was actually called The Land of Beginning.


Gaia continued her explanation.


It seemed that, at first, there was just one more room in this castle.


The only person there was the Goddess Gaia. There was no one else, and since Dominus had implanted knowledge in her, she knew what to do.


At first, I thought she was from another world like me, but it seemed that wasn't the case, and the moment she was brought into existence, she already had her own role to play.


And so the creation of the world began.


First, she created a clan with a certain degree of authority – in other words, the Gods, and entrusted the creation and prosperity of the "humanoid races" to those Gods.
