I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN)

Chapter 2423 - Spreading Aftermath ㉔

Life returned from the Sanctuary to the upper layer and immediately set things in motion. Because the Gods can communicate through telepathy simply by picturing the person they want to contact, thanks to the Authority of the God of Thoughts, Omoikane, getting in touch with the other Gods is easy.

Well, the receiving side can refuse the connection, so back when Fate had been slacking off, she simply ignored her……

(God of Thoughts, can you hear me? Connect a telepathic link to all Gods immediately.)

(As you command.)

However, this method only works within the range of Omoikane’s Authority. Normally, this means it can only be used in the God Realm, where Omoikane constantly keeps her power deployed. If one wants to contact lower-ranking Gods in the Human Realm, or hold a telepathic conversation with multiple people at once, one must first contact Omoikane to expand the reach of her authority.

(A message to all Gods. Fifteen minutes from now, an emergency meeting will be held at my temple. Anyone whose Authority even slightly influences the creation of plants or fruits, as well as anyone with knowledge or experience in agriculture or related tasks, is to gather at my temple. This concerns a request from Shallow Vernal-sama and takes priority over all other duties. Also, this meeting is only to determine the broad direction we’ll take. After a basic policy is decided, we will send another announcement to gather opinions from all Gods, as we will need perspectives of every kind, so even those who do not meet the earlier conditions should be mentally prepared.)

Entrusted by Shallow Vernal and told they had expectations for her, Life had no intention of allowing even the slightest compromise in the creation of the golden ripples.

She understood that relying solely on her own knowledge would leave gaps or cause oversights, so she planned to gather ideas widely from other Gods as well.

After sending the telepathic message, Life returned to her own temple…… only to find that Fate and Chronois were already there.

[As expected, fast as always, God of Fate, God of Time and Space.]

[When you say it’s something Shallow Vernal-sama wants, of course we’ll hurry…… but more importantly, God of Life, aren’t you overflowing with motivation right now? It’s practically radiating off you.]

[Just looking at you, I can feel your resolve……]

As Fate pointed out, Life was absolutely brimming with enthusiasm. Her eyes, usually half-closed, were now wide open, and her crimson gaze burned with such intensity that it looked as though flames might be flickering within them. Anyone could see how fired up she was.

[Yes, let me explain the general situation to you two first. I was summoned by Shallow Vernal-sama earlier……]

Since Fate and Chronois were also Supreme Gods, she decided to give them the details beforehand and explained what had happened in the God Realm.

[Ahh, I see. Yeah, that’d definitely get you fired up.]

[To be expected. If Shallow Vernal-sama not only entrusted you with this task but even called you by name, it’s only natural your spirit would burn. I admit I feel a little envious, but more than that, I understand how you feel. I will assist you with all my strength.]

[Of course, same here…… and judging from what you’re aiming for, instead of trying to mess with Divine Protections and such, it seems better to grow a golden ripple tree on our side and hand it over to Baron Ritch. That way the rarity stays intact, and it suits your specialty as well.]

The feelings driving Life were something any god could genuinely empathize with, and both Fate and Chronois immediately pledged their cooperation. Fate then offered a suggestion with a speed completely unimaginable from her usual lazy behavior, and Life nodded lightly at her words.

[Yes, that was the direction I was considering as well. Plants are life, creating a new plant life will allow my Authority to shine. However, I want to avoid narrowing my perspective. Even if I believe something is the best approach, there may be flaws when viewed from another angle. So I want to gather opinions as broadly as possible.]

[Good thinking. We should also run prototypes. With my Authority over time, repeating trial and error is trivial. Let us create something truly worthy of satisfying Shallow Vernal-sama.]

[Then those like God of Agriculture and God of Vegetations should show up thanks to your earlier call, so that’s fine…… but when we think about turning it into ripple pie, we should also hear from God of Cooking and God of Food, right?]

While the Gods of the God Realm were beginning to move in response to Life’s summons…… Down in the underground bar belonging to Iris beneath Kaito’s home, Alice, who had been about to sip wine at the counter, suddenly froze mid-motion.

[……Eh? Seriously……? They’re moving…… Wow……]

[Unn? What’s wrong?]

[Ah, no, it’s just……]

[Why are you putting the wine away?]

[……Well, even I feel more pity than amusement this time…… guess I should go give them a bit of support…… actually, let’s start by making sure stupid Makina doesn’t make a move first.]

After putting away the wine she had planned to drink, Alice muttered with a hint of exasperation. Her extraordinary mind rapidly ran through the developments to come, and she began arranging support for Marie and Baron Ritch.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Even Alice ended up feeling more of pity!?]
