Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 35

Chapter 35 – Believe it or not, I am a God. What are you going to do about it?

“Well, for starter let’s check the interior”

With that decided, Renya and his party opened the mansion door to get inside. The mansion part itself is more or less a normal western styled manor. From the outside, the mansion design is the epitome of a western styled manor according to Renya’s knowledge. The architecture technique is based on this world technology.

They split around checking the mansion interior but it seems that all the doors are locked. They can’t explore the mansion interior further because of the locks.

“Whoa whoa hold it, in this kind of situation isn’t it more plausible to search every nook and cranny for keys?”

[…… Life signals detected inboard. Abiding previous command, proceeding into inviting the life signals into the bridge]

“Isn’t this…… alien style teleportation?”

“Could you guys be a little bit more serious?”

Their sight is plastered in white for a second and after the light abates, they realize that the scenery in front of their eyes had changed.

In front of their eyes is the inside view of the aforementioned elongated window on third floor. Under that window are wide arrays of console-like things that seem to be a tool used for inputting data like a keyboard. Those consoles are also completed with a chair and of course a kind of monitor like thing that shows mysterious characters. Renya and his party are present in such kind of SF room.

“Is this…… the bridge? This place is really well made like those hi-tech bridges in SF movies……”

Even if earth is not that advanced yet to reach it, Renya and Floria are familiar with this kind of space ship’s bridge that always shows up on SF genre story. Without holding back, they start checking out around the bridge and try touching the console. But at that moment, they both realize something at the same time.

That’s right. From the material that is impossible for this world technology to create, they can feel a faint trace of divine power mixed within it. Realizing that, they only have one answer for all this mysteries.

[That statement is correct]

Projected on the screen is a beautiful little girl that seems to be about 12 years old.

[Greetings to the visitors that are able to reach the end of this dungeon. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the artificial spirit life form that is entrusted with the full authority over this ship. My name is Anrietta. It was a pleasure to meet you]

[If that was how my honored guest see me as then I don’t have problem with that. But first, as per my creator command, I will show you a recorded message that my creator left behind. Honored guest, please watch it carefully]

[A~…… First, I won’t think about what kind of being it was who succeeded in conquering the maze that I built and claim the prize. After all I kept this maze as a secret in purpose, unrecorded in history and hidden. Because of that, those who had the luck to found this place and manage to conquer it have a high probability of not coming from the human race]

“I kinda feel a bizarrely ominous bad feeling from watching this... How about you Floria?”

But too bad they can’t stop playing the message video that was left from the creator. They just give up and focus their attention on the video again. They can only hope that their feeling is not up to the mark this time.

“Iri… E? Eeeeeeeeeeeeee?”

“Etto…… There is a myth about the god of amusement named Irikutta desu…… Most of the myth is about the god of amusement creates wondrous divine item jokingly then purposely left it in the mortal world to cause disturbance desu. According to the myth, he is a god that loves to do ‘prank’ very much desu… Of course that level of ‘prank’ is already beyond evil desu”

The bad feeling that he felt before seems to be from him unconsciously sensing that the man before him is the same kind as he is, a god that do things as he pleases. And on top of it, the troubling myth left behind by him makes Renya bad premonition flares even more.

But limited to this world, such myth and legends based on a god activity might not be fiction at all. Furthermore, when the depicted god is entitled as [the god who loves to do pranks], people can’t help but to imagine how sinister that ‘prank’ is. Those who can stay calm in front of it are very limited.

Renya felt a hint of cold in the back of his nape. This god is bad news. He really is just like the myth says. The other party members also think of the same thing as Renya.

[Especially when the toys I create spread great confusion amongst the mortal. Ah the fun of watching such situation is indescribable. There was once a great tribe that almost driven away to extinction from the aggression of a great empire until my toys found it place at the almost annihilated tribe. The confusion at that time is exhilarating! There also a time when my toys managed to turn over the power relation from its very root in a kingdom where the male are dominant and women are nothing but slaves. The overturned relation after was really a sight to see! Mankind is the best because they always give me unexpected reaction each time I meddle with them. For me, mankind is the best source of amusement!]

“A long time ago~, Father receives a request to subjugates a god who said similar lines like this one. He beat that god black and blue in no time at all”

Projected in the screen is the god of amusement Irikutta’s sinister smile. Renya and his party had already lost interest of listening to this crazy god talk seriously. They just keep on looking at the screen with cold eyes. Even their high spirits before from conquering the maze and finding the desired ship turn cold because of the appearance of the repulsive god.

“Why did you make such fearsome thing…… or rather why did you left it just like this……”

For this world current level of technology, describing this ship as over-technology is not enough. Far from enough.

“I don’t want to hear such motive!”

[But let me claim this one thing clearly. Whatever the tool is, it doesn’t have any speck of sin whatsoever. The one making sin is the one who use the tool for evil purpose. Therefore, I as the creator of the tools also don’t have any sin whatsoever]

Agh I can’t stand it anymore someone please do something to this god!

[But alas, because of the other gods got jealous of my brilliant genius mind, they band together and exiled me out from this world. Not stopping only at that my many toys even share the same fate as me of being banished out from this world. But how could I just stay silent from all this tyranny? I won’t let them banish all my toys out from this world. And this ship is the only masterpiece that I managed to hide in this world]

Brenda also can only sigh hearing such selfish remark.

“If this god has such a selfish thought pattern then he would already be treated as an evil god from the start right?”

To Brenda and Renya opinion about this god, Therese adds more information. They all then have the same ‘as expected’ expression on their face as they nod to each other in agreement. Unknowing what the viewer opinion about him, projected on the screen, Irikutta getting more hyped up in continuing his long winded explanation.

“Why did he mention world domination twice?”

“If he uses those inventions of his for peaceful purpose, he definitely will become a popular god. What a waste……”

“For this kind of weird god, that kind of thought pattern is too much possible……”

[I entrust all of the authority of this ship function into the artificial spirit life-form that I made especially for this ship. After this video ends, just ask her the detail about how to bind the contract with her. I beg your pardon for forcing you accompany me to hear this god long winded grumbling]

[And if you are willing to fulfill this wish of mine ---- There should be a high possibility that the myth and legends about me would only talk bad about me. That’s why… that’s why! I want you people to please add a new virtuous passage about me! Help me restore my honor! Spread my greatness! Tell people about how great I am as the god of invention! As the god of art! Please let those facts spread out for the future generation! I beg you please! You should be capable of doing so because you are able to conquer my dungeon. That means you have the required strength, intelligence, and luck to propagates me to the world!]

After begging such troublesome things the video just ended like that.

[First I want to apologize to my honored guest for being forced to watch the video of my unsightly creator]

[I thank you for our kind words. Just thinking about that useless man was really my birth parent always gives me the impulse to blow myself along with the ship. But that useless creator had lock any command that would meant self destruction for the ship so it can’t be helped]

[Then let me ask you once again, did honored guests wished to posses this ship?]

[If it could be done, then I wish honored guests would bond a temporary contract with me then order me to destroy myself afterwards]

It mean that the artificial life-form little girl Anrietta that is right in front of him now will disappear, it can also be said that she will die.

[It is exactly what you think. This ship is a tool that doesn’t have any other use except for destruction. I can find out what is happening in the world even from here and from what I learnt, the technology that honored guests recognize as ‘ancient technology’ didn’t even come close to this ship technology level. If this ship were to get out into the world it will only call for an even greater calamity. Greed will drive people to fight each other so they can possess this ship and the casualties will be unimaginable. After all, all of the creator inventions never show any decent result. Therefore, such a being like me isn’t supposed to be exist]

And Anrietta continues her reasoning for her demand.

In the expressionless Anrietta’s face, a little bit of pleading expression is formed.

A too much overwhelming [power] without a strong mind to match and control it would only invites calamity. There was nothing wrong with that.

If they don’t see it then it will be alright.

“But I reject that! Indeed I said that Anrietta current situation is pitiful. But just because of that, there is no reason for you to die. If you want to know why ---- it was because I am also a god”

If a normal human can’t do that, a god should be somehow able to do it. Renya just openly declares it. Not because of haughtiness but because he belief in himself.

Looking at the war god who smile confidently, a befuddled face floats in the artificial spirit life-form little girl’s face which is really similar to a human little girl when she is confused.

Author notes: There should be no decent god in this world (conviction)

For better or worse, flag crusher is also one of Renya’s authority as a god.

Eros notes: 4000+ words *throws up.

Reading Anrietta’s dialogue remind me of chino from gochiusa.
