Open your eyes for the third time
It's a strange room
I suddenly remembered it all
Roxy, Sylphie, Eris
i love them
But...
Anyway, cheating on someone in a dream or something...
"This ability is really bad..."
I murmured, but a voice answered me
"Oh, that's because you had such thoughts about those two women."
In front of me, there are two people
No, two
One is a skeleton
Wearing a crown, the body is covered with black and dirty bones.
The other one is slime
Most likely, it's slime
A blue goo-like object is sitting on a chair
At least, it looks like he's sitting
"First time meeting, I am [Pluto] Bita"
Slime spoke
translucent blue slime
This seems to be the original appearance of Death King Vita
"First time meeting, I am Rudeus. Greyrat"
"I lost this battle"
Slime said this in a serious voice.
Lost?
In other words, have we fought?
This kind of dream is about fighting? He wants me to immerse myself in this kind of dream?
Do you want me to be immersed in this kind of dream that is not happy at all?
Or is there something wrong with his definition of happiness...
I asked
"Your ability is to make people dream like this?"
The slime in front of me made a sound...
It's a very unwilling voice
Also with some self-deprecation
"My ability is to predict the possible future from other people's memories, and then seep into your desires. It is the supreme phantom."
"Uh... I don't feel supreme at all. I felt a sense of disobedience inside more than once."
Yeah
sense of dissonance
It is very inconsistent to think that Roxy, Sylphie and Eris are not in that world.
The same goes for Nanahoshi in the dream, which is very inconsistent...
Well, if you think carefully about the background of that world, it is very possible that Nanahoshi will become like that...
But Aisha is really inconsistent... I don't think Aisha would do that kind of thing
Wait
Possible future...?
How is it possible...
While I was thinking, Death King Vita spoke again
"Oh, if it weren't for the [Laxus's Bone Ring] on your right hand, I'm afraid you wouldn't feel any sense of dissonance at all, and the objects of your dreams wouldn't even be these two people."
"Ah...?"
I raised my right hand and looked at the ring
It was given by Orsted
Did he expect it? It should be...
"Laxus's Bone Ring, this is the ring made by the god of death Laxus to kill me.
Use the figure of the most trustworthy dead to break the illusion, block the escape route of the magician, and force him into a dead end.
However, if there is no trusted dead person, the ring will not be activated..."
Huh?
The most trusted dead person?
But...
"Have you seen my dream?"
"Of course"
"But my wives are still fine."
"So, I'm also very curious as to why you can see your wife and even your sister."
Hmm...?
This ring...
Orsted is from the previous timeline, and this ring may be too
So...
It may be that in the previous timeline, not only Aisha and Eris died, but also Roxy and Sylphie...
Just thinking about it makes me feel horrified...
I shook my head, not letting myself think about this.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Bita smiled, as if thinking of something
With such a smile, he said
"Although it sounds like I am trying to sow discord, that Rujierd dreamed of your sister. You should know what this means."
"Huh... I don't have any thoughts."
Bita suddenly stopped smiling and spoke again
"It failed... I thought I could catch them all in one fell swoop this time. Superd Race's warriors, plus you..."
Bita said this regretfully while starting to shrink
It's like losing strength rapidly
At the same time, the bones began to disintegrate.
"Bita"
"Huh?"
"Finally, I want to ask you a question"
"Just tell me, I'm going to die anyway."
"Are you Apostle of the Human-God?"
The slime in front of me was silent
but only for a moment
"Maybe... I received a lot of help from that god, and I did obey his instructions. This time, too, I came to help him to deal with you and Superd Race."
"What if you don't help him? Will there be any punishment?"
"I don't know. I helped Human-God just because I wanted to repay my kindness. Don't think too badly of him. Although he is not a good god, he did help a lot of people. Most of those apostles are doing it to repay their kindness."
"Repay the favor..."
"Well, to repay the favor, Human-God will attack you and your family just because you and your family threatened his life. Can you understand what I mean?"
"I can understand... I'm not a good person either. I will kill a bunch of innocent people for myself and my family."
"Really? Everyone is selfish, even gods are the same."
"Who else is Apostle of the Human-God, can you tell me?"
"Ha... I'm not sure, Rudeus, come on."
Just like that, Death King Vita disappeared
