A guest had entered my head.
「Join the Legion.」
“Why should I?”
「Join the Legion.」
“Why should I?”
「Join the Legion.」
“Why should I?”
- Yuyeon, who are you talking to...?
- wut
- I’m scared...
And so on, repeated.
It seemed my guest was a little strange.
Still, it meant I wouldn’t be bored when I was alone for a while, so if anything, that was good.
“Everyone. I think Omega Seed has entered my head.”
- Excuse me...?
- You fuuuuucking, even I’ve never gotten to go in there
- jealousjealousjealousjealous
“Ah. I worded that a little strangely. I keep hearing Omega Seed’s voice. He keeps whispering for me to join the Legion, so I guess he’s pretty serious about scouting talent.”
- Ah lol as if Yuyeon would go in
- You think Yuyeon, mankind’s maid, would leave us behind and go somewhere?
- If anyone’s joining, he should be the one joining us
- Reincarnate quietly as a human and come back
As I was explaining, a new proposal came in.
「If you join, I shall grant you power. The power to adapt and evolve.」
“He says he’ll give me power if I join. No wonder the main objective was nothing but question marks again. It must have been a branch point.”
- ? The hidden route’s already here?
- How arrogant, Yuyeon must be hundreds of times stronger than him
- So if she joins the Legion here, it must proceed down another route
The sensation of bugs crawling over my skin was turning into the sensation of bugs crawling under my skin.
Could this be mutation? The feeling was interesting, so I left it alone for now.
「Join and help me seize this star.」
“What are you going to do after seizing the star?”
「Increase the Legion and seize more stars.」
“Why?”
「For the purpose of increasing the Legion and seizing more stars.」
“Why?”
「......」
Omega Seed’s voice, which had fallen silent for a moment, rang out as though special sound effects had been added to it.
「To break beyond limits and reach true transcendence.」
“What is true transcendence?”
「It is the great path of breaking beyond limits and raising the rank of one’s existence.」
“Why are you trying to transcend?”
「No reason is needed to pursue transcendence.」
“Why?”
「......」
- I don’t know what kind of conversation they’re having, but I feel like he’s definitely pissed
- Han Yuyeon’s conversation never ends
[Many Constellations gaze at you fondly.]
“? VV.”
- (double peace maid emote)
「Eliminate the humans blocking the Legion’s path.」
「Eliminate the humans blocking the Legion’s path.」
「Eliminate the humans blocking the Legion’s path.」
“Oh dear. Omega Seed. You can’t do that. And please speak quietly.”
「Resistance is meaningless. The Legion has already finished adapting.」
“That’s amazing.”
I wonder where the mages are.
With Omega Seed as my conversation partner, I wandered here and there.
「The power you wield no longer works on the Legion.」
“Why?”
「The Legion has adapted to flame and evolved. Through outer-shell carbonization evolution, it has generated an insulating layer, and—」
Ugh. Words I didn’t know came pouring out all at once.
I was ashamed that I couldn’t fully understand Omega Seed’s explanation.
I understood it roughly as them having developed fire resistance.
「Join the Legion.」
“Could I perhaps become a black-haired, red-eyed, short-haired 7-meter maid?”
「For you, 7 meters is an inefficient evolution that only increases your target area. Join the Legion.」
“I can’t?”
「If you wish it, I shall evolve you that way. Join the Legion.」
“I want to become 7 meters tall without joining.”
「Impossible. Join the Legion.」
“Hing-ing-ing.”
Omega Seed answered no matter what I asked.
“I want to know where the Isrein Empire’s seed vault is.”
「Beneath your feet.」
“Oh.”
Even when I scanned for it, it didn’t feel like a seed vault, so I almost just passed by.
I entered the building next door, which had been burned black, and found a passage connected to the basement.
When I went down and looked around, I saw a massive door firmly locked, without so much as a scratch amid the chaos.
Since it was an important vault, they must have built it incredibly sturdy.
「Open the door and bring out what is inside.」
“Stealing is bad, Seed.”
「They are the Legion’s spoils of war.」
“Not yet, they aren’t.”
But how was I supposed to clear this trial?
If it cleared just by entering the seed vault, then it felt like this floor would end without me even getting to greet the mages.
I wanted to check whether they were doing well, and I wanted to pack them more lunchboxes, so I asked another question.
“I want to know where the mages are.”
「Go up to the surface, then head east. Go and eliminate the humans.」
“Which direction is east?”
「Go out the door and head right from your perspective.」
“Thank you for telling me.”
- Seed-hwang really does tell her everything
- Is he ChatGPT or what lol
After offering a peace sign of gratitude, I flew according to Seed’s directions.
After flying like that for a while.
I saw a mage tower of a different shape from the Eistrea Mage Tower.
And I saw traces of arson, as well as the mages.
The mages were currently in combat with Predator.
“Hohoho. You last quite long. I never thought I’d be so glad for transcendent regenerative power.”
“It’s a good opportunity to train Flame Peace, y’know.”
“The mutants also seem to be adapting to flames, indeed.”
“I believe we need to improve the firepower aspect more quickly.”
Mm. Could this really be called combat?
Predator was surrounded, blazing away in Flame Peace, unable to do anything.
- Poor thing...
- It’s the fate of guys whose insane regeneration gets mentioned
- Well, who told him to show off his tankiness?
I had been planning to provide aerial Peace support, but it didn’t seem necessary.
It would be rude to interrupt the mages’ enjoyable training time, so I cheered them on from the air.
「Hurry and eliminate the humans.」
“Fighting. Fighting.”
「There are humans beneath you. Eliminate them.」
“Fighting. Fighting.”
Empowered by my cheers, the mages’ mana recovered, and in the end, Predator, roasted to a crisp, crumbled into dust.
Despite their victory, the mages did not rejoice and instead wore regretful expressions.
“He has burned to a crisp, indeed.”
“Even Predator, who once felt invincible, is no match for us now.”
“Our mana is recovering too, y’know. Yuyeon must be helping us, y’know.”
“Let us continue. We cannot show her a shameful Peace.”
It was already a splendid enough Peace.
It wasn’t as good as the high-power, high-efficiency, rapid-casting Peace I had completed, but at the very least, it was a Peace that had reached high power and high efficiency.
“Everyone. I’ll proceed through this trial from an observer’s point of view.”
- Yeees?
“I don’t want to interfere with the mages’ training. I’ll intervene only when it’s dangerous, and if it isn’t dangerous, I’ll just quietly observe from above.”
- I’m so jealous, Yuyeon is giving them close personal care...
- It’s fine, once Hell ends, Yuyeon will only be on Earth anyway
- In the end, we’re the official wife!
The mages continued walking while discussing Peace, and when they arrived in front of the mage tower, they cast Flame Peace.
What Flame Peace burned was the closed door of the mage tower.
“?”
- ?
Was it a declaration of war? I hadn’t expected this.
The mages who had burned down the door shouted loudly.
“Mages of Ragnabel!! Everyone, come to your senses!! We must go burn the mutants!!”
“We brought magic you’ll like! Come and research it with us!!”
“You will regret it if you don’t come out! It would mean Eistrea monopolizing something this fun, indeed!”
“This is Mage Flame Double Peace, y’know.”
Once the door disappeared, zombies poured out from inside.
“Uhh... uh...”
“Guuuh...”
“Krrk... krrrk...”
The zombies, who had completely lost their reason, stretched out both hands and approached as if they were about to tear the mages apart at any moment.
Then, after seeing Flame Peace, they came to a dead stop and tilted their heads.
Even though their human reason had vanished, a mage’s curiosity still remained.
“Ho... how do...?”
“How it is done is not important. What matters is how far we can develop it.”
“So... damn hot...”
“We burned all the mutants with this, y’know. We also burned the capital planet black, y’know.”
“Why... only you guys...?”
“We came because it felt too much of a waste to research it by ourselves. Join the Flame Peace Order.”
“I... want to research too...”
“Let us see the end of Flame Peace together, indeed!”
One. Two.
With the two hands they had been stretching out, the zombies began forming double peace signs.
I maintained my flight and cast healing arts on the zombies.
“Uwooooaaaargh...!”
“Kihihihik...!”
“Yuyeon’s grace has reached even this place, indeed...!”
“Hold on just a little longer! You will soon be able to regain your original forms like us!”
“You must have what is called the Ravina spirit, y’know. If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it, y’know.”
“VV!!!!!”
The zombies endured the pain as they raised double peace signs high into the sky.
Maybe because I was operating divine power, Omega Seed’s voice inside my head grew quieter.
Now that I had become a master of healing arts, treating zombification was a very easy task, so the healing process did not take long.
And so, the mages of Ragnabel joined the Flame Peace research.
“We aren’t enough to complete Flame Peace.”
“Then next, let us go to the Lumerion Mage Tower.”
When they moved to another mage tower and saw mutants along the way—
“Why aren’t these things burning?”
“If you can’t burn them, perhaps you should consider whether your firepower is lacking, y’know.”
“Oh.”
“That’s genius.”
They burned the mutants adapting to flames to a crisp.
“Mages of Lumerion!!”
Joined.
“Mages of Serenium!!”
Joined.
“Mages of Drakeln!!”
Joined.
“Do Peace! You too!”
Peace.
When the mages got hungry, I delivered lunchboxes to them with telekinesis.
“Food suddenly came flying over...?!”
“This too is the blessing of Peace, y’know.”
“From now on, anyone who does not Peace shall be regarded as not being a mage...”
When they needed mana for research and battle, I filled their mana with cheers.
“My mana keeps recovering...!”
“That too is the blessing of Peace, y’know.”
“Damn it, I love Peace!”
The speed at which Flame Peace was improved began to surpass the speed at which the mutants adapted to flames.
“Omega Seed!! Are you listening!! Send more of the Legion!! There’s nothing left to burn!!”
「......」
“Ah!! I want to burn something!! The capital planet is already burned anyway, so let’s just burn it one more time!!”
“There’s not much difference between burning once and burning twice, indeed!!”
What was this? Their condition seemed a little strange.
At this point, it seemed like they could go burn Omega Seed already, so why did they keep wandering off in other directions?
As I watched with that question in mind, I heard the mages whispering.
“Should we keep Omega Seed alive and continue training?”
“Are you a genius?”
“Your way of thinking is different, y’know.”
“As expected, when mages gather, many good ideas come out, indeed.”
Gasp. How could they be so cruel?
That is what they say, Omega Seed.
With a snap, along with the sensation of the connection being severed, Omega Seed disappeared from my head.
I immediately traced Omega Seed’s location in reverse and reconnected.
“Where are you going, Omega Seed? Let’s keep communicating.”
「......」
Now I had entered Omega Seed’s head.
