*Tic*

A sound echoed in an empty space. It sounded faint and weak, but it continued for a long time like it was lengthened.

*Tic*

The sound was heard again. This time, it was clearer and with a higher pitch, but it still carries that feeling of vagueness and ambiguity.

*Tic*

Once again, the sound reverberated. This time it adds a humming to it, which was almost instantaneous.

This kind of sound kept playing like a special and weird symphony. Changing from time to time or sounding the same for moments, yet they were never the same.

It was like different frequencies are being used and changing the wavelength of the sound with each time they move.

Of course, this would be accurate in the material world, but the laws of science are kind of farfetched to try to explain the situation here.

This is a dark gray space stretching to the end of the sight. It was strange and gave people dizziness and a nauseating feeling after going through a big roller coaster a few times. In other words, the dark gray space was like a mysterious fog that made people lose their senses.

In such a place where nothing resembles the material world, there was an anomaly that made this scene stranger. In this complete dark gray space, there was a hard-to-detect white and green light in the 'middle'.

It was like a gray dark mass or substance blending with this dark space, which is very hard to detect if it weren't for the faint milky white light around it. The mass was in humanoid shape, but it didn't keep that form completely as it moved like a liquid once in a while.

In the hands of the gray mass, the white light reduced into an aurora that locked a green gleam like a cage. The green light resembled a screen filled with different symbols and runes that kept moving nonstop, but under the white halo, it slowly became under control until it turned into a normal text.

The text was crude and seemed to be written in a hurry with terrible handwriting, but it's still readable and could be understood. However, it looked very strange for a high-end thing like a light screen to have such writing.

The gray mass didn't seem to be bothered by the terrible handwriting as it 'looked' with its faceless face, which for some reason, had a white weird symbol that looked like this -_-.

[Day X:

Horror 4 has achieved initial success and I can finally relax a little. Pew, I have to say that I worked really hard these days. Well, my goal requires even someone as magnificent, great, and humble as myself to work a lot.. Wait, what was my goal again?]

The gray mass didn't move while scrolling the screen down, but for some reason, the white mark on its face deepened.

[Day X:

So, I figured my goal. It took me a while, but I remembered.. I don't want to move a muscle, that's why I made these ships. As I expect from myself]

The gray mass expression slightly distorted, even the white aura became dim for a moment.

[Day X:

*Sigh* I found a problem with the initial design. I made the ships to check every element and particle.. But with the engines, frequency receivers, and the ability to cross the grand void.. I didn't design the automatic service system.. I have to walk to every ship and activate them manually.. for every element and particle.. I want to murder someone]

[Day X:

Okay, today for sure, everything is ready and I started my travel. I wonder what I'll find or who I'll meet, however, I'm sure this will be an adventure that I'm looking forward to.. If I wasn't lost right now.. I still want to murder somebody]

The gray mass raised its head, like looking at the sky in silence before reading again.

[Day X:

The time is passing quickly, yet slow at the same time. Looking at the original worlds and illusionary realities coloring this tasteless void in a daze, I think I achieved some enlightenment from this.

After all this time, I have been taught a lot.. taught that I'm losing my sanity with each minute passing, that it]

[Day X:

I broke every clock in my ship. But wait a minute, how the fuck time supposed to work here?! My life has been a lie!!]

[Day X:

After I put my sanity on the side, I should start to think about what I should do. Honestly, I don't have much to do here, the elements are scanning normally.. Am I useless?]

[Day X:

FATHER!!! WHY!!! Why did you have to leave me, ahhhhhhh, WHY!!!!.. wait, I don't have a dad.. oh well]

The gray mass expression became O.O, but it quickly returned into -_- after reading the whole memo.

[Day X:

My frequency receivers and element scanners are catching something or maybe this is just my mind playing tricks on me. However, be it an illusion or not, the usual elements and particles can't keep up with me anymore. I need to find a replacement...]

[Day X:

We live in a society..*cough* wrong memo, oops.. For anyone who is reading this, you'll die a horrible death]

The gray mass clenched its fist, even the expression became ?_?, in the end, it calmed down and returned to reading.

[Day X:

In this cursed void that should be burned in the most horrible place in existence, I spotted a weird bend in reality far away. I suppose it's a void hole, one of the greatest disasters in the grand void. It has the reputation of turning the radius of thousands of universes into a wasteland.

I don't know what to do anymore and I'm fucking bored, so I went to it directly. I might drift next to it because I'm so outstanding, but then.. I remembered that my driving skill is shit and I crashed directly into it..fuck!!

Good news! That wasn't a void hole, I'm so lucky! However, the bad news is, it's a giant tentacles monster that looks like a giant mass of glowing orbs with eyes that shoot sanity-dropping rays.. This isn't so bad, to be honest]

[Day X:

Finally, I was saved. With its glowing orbs and millions of eyes that send chills to the souls, the giant tentacles monster saved me from my scariest nightmares.. boredom.

I now have a new traveling buddy, well, more like it wants to kill me and devour my whole being, but I'm so happy that I have a big buddy.

My buddy likes me a lot, I remember that time I came out of the ship and started my amazing speech to enlighten it. 'He' liked it a lot, even if he started to twist the fabric of reality to kill me because I said 'he's' a dumbass, which 'he' is by the way!]

The gray mass clenched its fists slowly as the green screen was cracking a little by little, but the text was still clear.

[Day X:

After my buddy teleported and blocked my ship, I 'accidentally' blew him into atoms.

You can't blame me! Who can stay calm when you just woke up and see thousands of eyes sticking out of your window!?

Anyway, my buddy recovered almost instantly and the chase continued.

Speaking of this, I think I know who my buddy is. He's one of those original grand void races, which usually just swim around in this void. Sometimes when they pass by the original worlds, their 'scent' will fall on the world and actually translate into somehow understandable information.

That information will be received by some individuals in the said world, like some sort of divination. I remember only the original worlds did this, so I was surprised that those hermits allowed this?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I finally learned my buddy's name after I ran 'him' over by my ship.. a couple of times. His name is Yog-Sothoth, a great.. mass of orbs :) ]

At this moment, the gray mass expression became O.o, which looked so confused by these things it read, but it continued anyway.

[Day X:

After a lot of experiments and trials, I found particular particles named Chaos particles, which gave the best result compared to the other elements, but honestly, this kind of particle is so chaotic, heh, get it? Chaos particles, chaotic?... shut up.

Anyway, I found these particles contain a lot of variables, which isn't idealistic if I want exact data, but I don't have much choice because.. my buddy left me :(.. He disappeared without saying goodbye, son of a bitch]

[Day X:

I found that my progress became close to none. It's like I'm running in circles without a goal.

The reading from the chaotic particles is changing constantly, even if it leads me closer, I'm not completely sure if it's correct. I need to change my ways.

However, glancing behind me, I was shocked by the scene of the destruction. Everything was crushed and destroyed in the tag game between me and my buddy.

Looking at this, the guilt filled my heart. Although I know these are mostly illusions and fake realities compared to the original worlds, I have no idea how many lives were lost. I stood there in silence observing without a word as the end was reflected in my eyes.. Then I took a bubble bath :D

I also found that the guilt was actually me feeling hungry, funny, isn't it? Hahaha, laugh now.]

[LOG END]

*CRACK*

The whole screen and green light were broken into pieces as the gray mass covered its face like it had a massive headache. After some time, the gray mass summoned the screen again and kept looking through it, but it didn't find anything like the previous log.

Doing an action like sighing, the gray mass shook its head before a sound appeared from it " I guess this is better than nothing"

" Yog-Sothoth, huh? From it looks, I don't think I'll find anything from him, or even if he knew something, the possibility of telling me anything about his dark past is close to none" The gray mass sighed again before it started to check the screen again.

" I was always suspicious of how these junks were still functioning after all this time, but I guess some stains always stays" The gray mass nodded before it glanced up. Its 'eyes' seemed to piece throw the gray fog and look at a very weird space.

In that space, a giant distorted mosaic bubble was floating aimlessly in the void. It kept flashing with green color as several threads were attached to the gray fog. However, it seemed like it wanted to move away, but like it was moving in circles like it didn't know the left from right.

" I really want to check the ship more, but my resources are almost gone. Also, this is just a resonance ship, so there's no point in wasting more. If it was an observation or analysis ship.. *Sigh* I spent a long time collecting the essences of these abnormalities" The gray mass shook its head before it waved its hand on the screen.

The picture on the screen kept distorting and changing until it transformed into a mirror. In the mirror, there was a small town filled with people, but the mirror only focused on a man and a woman.

The gray fog area next to the mass also changed quickly to show the picture of chat members and Kaguya looking at the crystal Lich in surprise.

" Although I'm not really a fan of the concept of fighting fire with fire, especially if we're the one making the fire to accept this solution, Root, I guess they helped me save a considerable amount of resources" The gray mass nodded its head as the mark of it face became (?.?).

"Speaking of the analysis ship, you are really daring Root. Attracting the ship to act as a decoy despite the risk involved. Were you confident of succeeding in your new project or did you have another way out, I wonder?" The gray mass, which is Konosuba world's will shook his head before saying "Alas, now that analyses ship is full of fuel and won't appear for a long time"

Not all World's will could have a full avatar, and Konosuba world's will, even with its huge experience, can't change that fact. Despite having the ability to take a temporary avatar, he felt this is a waste of time, so he kept this mass shape, which is quite convenient.

Waving his hand, the gray fog suddenly became clear before several mirrors appeared in the air. Each mirror showed a different scene.

The first one was about a middle-aged man appearing in a modern city. After checking a light screen in front of him, the man sighed with relief as he showed a victorious smile and said " I actually appeared in the modern world of Konosuba. Now, I need to use my second item and move to the reincarnation place of gods to take a cheat"

The man pulled a card from his pocket as the light shined on his body. His body turned into a ray of light flying towards the sky, but instead of passing through space, it stopped there. Struggling for a while, the light dimmed quickly before it vanished.

In another mirror, a girl appeared on a chair in a dark space. Looking forward, the man saw a woman with golden wings like an angel facing him.

"Greetings, I would like to welcome you i-.. Yes, yes" The angel, who was greeting the girl, suddenly stopped and put her hand on her ear, like she's listening to someone.

"I'm sorry; it seems we picked the wrong person. You have done a lot of bad things in your life, and the judges will decide your fate now" Without giving the girl a chance to speak, the angel waved as the girl teleported to the place where the sinners were getting judged.

A lot of scenes similar to this were playing on the screen. A young man, who joined 'Kazuma's party', died unexpectedly, but Aqua couldn't revive him no matter how much she tried. A woman and her team got killed after the Destroyed passed by the dungeon they were in, etc.

Konosuba world's will look at these scenes with its faceless face as the mark on its face didn't even appear.

For him, doing something like this is easy. Although it required training at first, after all this time, he can manipulate his own world to a huge degree and even affect the anomalies.

This was an ability that belonged to all worlds originally, but after all that time and events, just a few worlds still have this ability.

"Now, I found some traces. I believe with some time and luck, I'll be able to change this" Looking at the Chaos particles resonance ship, or rather called the Horror space, Konosuba world's will rubbed his chin.

"If it weren't for them to act as bait, I won't be able to deceive the ship this easily, but I guess they're losing their temper a lot" Rubbing his chin, Konosuba world's will looked at the screen showing the chat's members, then he looked at the two remaining players across his realities before pumping his fist on his palm.

"I guess it won't hurt anyone to do this" Speaking those words, the mark on Konosuba world's will face became :), which was particularly horrifying on his empty face.

Meanwhile, Kaguya was still looking at the crystal lich, which appeared from the crystal rotating in the air. However, after being separated from the glowing crystal, the copy of Lich was included in the time stop and froze in its place.

Glancing at these two and the completed optional mission in the Chat, Kaguya took a moment of silence before it retreated towards the group and lifted the time stop.

The colors returned to the world before everything went back to motion. The fire was burning, and dust was falling because of Whitebeard while the fire kept burning because of Kazuma.

However, the reactions after the time stop have split into two. Kazuma's party and Beldia acted like nothing was wrong, but the Chat's members widened their eyes.

"Uhhh, umm.. Did you kill him, Kaguya?" Kazuma looked at the crystal statue of Lich as he couldn't help but ask.

"What do you mean, Kazuma? That disgusting Lich is still there. Also, when did your friends have this kind of power!?" Aqua blinked before it pointed at Beldia and Lich (Crystal) having a shonen conversation before she pointed at Whitebeard, who destroyed the castle with one punch.

"What are you saying.." Kazuma stopped before he looked at the others. Except for Megumin and Darkness, everyone nodded at him, which means he isn't crazy.

"I'll explain to you later, but now.. what are we supposed to do with this?" Kaguya shook her head and pointed at Lich(Crystal), completely ignoring Aqua.

When everyone was lost, the long lost Chat's notification sounded as the screen jumped in front of their faces.

[####(Konosuba world's will): Hey, kids. Who wanna help daddy Konosuba in something? :D]

"..." The chat members froze in their places as their minds almost lost the ability to think because of the sudden message. All that was going on in their minds was {World's will.. daddy.. What the hell?!}

*Click!*

Suddenly, the Chat Room flashed before a picture of them looking completely confused appeared on the Chat's screen.

[*Everyone confused.JPG* has been pinned to the channel]

[####(Konosuba world's will):... :) ]

"....." The sound of a fist getting clenched was particularly loud at this moment as all the chat members looked at these messages.

In the main channel. historical

[Annihilation Maker (Admin): *Sipping tea calmly*.. Interesting]

Looking at the other message, a vein appeared on everyone's head. Their faces darkened because of anger as Kazuma's party and Beldia were scared because of the sudden change.
