Chapter 106: Don't Be Surprised When You Meet 'Father'! / Chapter 107: Aleister and Laura (Part One)

"Ha, looks like I don't even need to mock you anymore, Persephone. As a Demon God, you're fairly competent. You possess enough wisdom."

"...You took advantage of Nyarlathotep's subconscious ignorance of her own situation, left this important item somewhere she would absolutely never check, and knew that the person you needed to ask for help was me."

Roy looked extremely pleased. It was like a detective finding evidence left behind by the victim among the traces at a crime scene and solving an unsolvable mystery.

Roy loved this feeling of achieving victory through wisdom and knowledge alone, without simply relying on overwhelming power.

"It's just a pity that this kind of joy will only become rarer in the future."

Roy sighed.

He was already far too powerful. From the very beginning, that had deprived him of the possibility of solving matters through wisdom and knowledge.

As long as he wished it, no matter how difficult something was, it would be resolved with a mere thought.

Only existences like Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth could make Roy ignite the spark of his wisdom and seek the joy of victory through unconventional methods.

As for Nyarlathotep, she was not qualified for that yet. The reason this messenger had managed to accomplish so much was mainly because she relied on Azathoth's power.

That made Roy feel that the existence of both Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth was necessary.

Only they could let Roy find the pleasure of opposition, instead of allowing him to act entirely as he pleased.

Fighting Heaven, fighting Earth, and fighting the Old Ones were all endlessly enjoyable.

He put away the branch. All he needed to do next was prepare the ritual site. For now, he would let Nyarlathotep be happy and allow her to believe she had won.
