Chapter 144 - Konosuba Side Part 29.
Leo stood on the roof of the building, staring at the devils inside their 'base' with his hand on his chin while contemplating the prospect of a school shooting on them.
So, how did we get from a wholesome slime's stream to an Angel contemplating murdering the entire original cast of a world?
Let's just say that the World's Wills, especially DXD's, had had enough of someone spamming emails.
Typically, contact between chat members and the World's Wills is one-way. If the World's Will wishes, they will immediately enter the chat and send messages, then leave at any moment. In brief, you won't be able to meet the World's Wills unless they want to communicate.
But, as far as Leo knows, the admin has the ability to submit reports and suggestions (complaints) to the chosen World's Will for the time being. This is a feature that helps to keep the chat orderly because you never know what could happen. However, because someone sent plenty of death threats and spammed thousands of emails all at once, the World's Wills directly removed the option.
So, looking at the situation, is Leo to blame? Yes, without a doubt. Who told him to spam the chat like a lunatic, but did he regret it? No way, no, and no. He realized that had almost no hope of getting his money back, so he wanted to ruin the day of those who took it.
And now he's planning to include totally unrelated devils in this, so is he also at fault? Yes, according to human morals and perspectives, but does he care? No, and when did a Beast and an Angel care about human ethics and morals? Even humans, at times, are unconcerned with such matters.
{Wait... these guys aren't even humans} Suddenly, Leo's thoughts came to a halt, and a strange expression emerged on his face.
In his defense, these so-called devils are behaving more humanly than humans. This is exactly what we're dealing with right now, huh? Leo sighed after doing a facepalm.
"How do you feel about this, Ddraig?" Leo inquired, almost as though he were speaking to himself, as the tiny green orb on his necklace shone faintly.
"You, of all people, are asking me about this?" Ddraig's tone was surprised, and he couldn't hide it.
He hadn't expected Leo to ask him about it, but he went over and said "You want to force the will of the world to manifest by using those devils?"
"No, in fact, I can't force the World's Will to appear." Leo shook his head and admitted that if DXD World's Will really didn't want to appear, he couldn't persuade it to no matter what he did.
"Hmm? What are these devils, if that's the case? Is there something unique about them that makes the whole world care?" Ddraig reasoned that anything like the World's Will couldn't really be concerned about the lives of those devils.
Every day, humans, plants, and creatures die and are born. The cycle of life and death has been a law from the dawn of time, but an entity representing the will of the world will not be concerned with those matters.
"To be frank, I'm unable to have an accurate answer. Except for the initial trajectory of destiny, these devils, in my opinion, are no different from any other living being on this planet, but for the World's Will..." Leo ponder for a moment before he said "Often they sound like they care for them, and sometimes, it sounds like these main characters are all random ants in the vast world"
"This could all be a matter of perspective and circumstance since it could alter in the event of an Outer God's attack or whatever, but I'm not sure." Leo shook his head, suggesting that his knowledge is insufficient to provide an adequate answer.
A circle of light shone on Leo's finger, sparkling with energy, as he pointed his finger in the direction of the devils' base. Ddraig saw this movement and sensed something strange.
He didn't pay much attention to Leo using his light power because he saw a lot of Angels and Fallen Angels using it, but now that he looked at it, he noticed that the air around Leo's finger spun for a moment and was actually annihilated until it became light and energy, which was unusual for Ddraig.
"So, are you going to kill them and see what happens?" Ddraig asked casually, but Leo removed the light circle and said, "No, although there's a fair chance, I have a better idea."
"However, first, let's do this." Before doing anything, Leo looked up at the sky "Hey, DXD, I know you can hear and see what I'm saying, so I want to say I just wanted to talk. Seriously, I'd like to ask about something."
There was no answer. After receiving the intended response, Leo shrugged and said "Well, you left me with no options, let's do the plan."
"Which is?" Ddraig inquired and Leo looked to the clear blue sky and said "We'll just follow that."
Looking in that direction, Ddraig didn't see anything but a few clouds, so he asked "What?"
"Look, how can you not see that abomination?!" Holding the necklace, Leo pointed it in that direction as Ddraig felt his vision changed. His eyes instantly widened and his jaw dropped from shock.
"W-w-what is that?!" When Ddraig saw the 'abomination' in the sky, he couldn't help but raise his voice.
In his mind, the whole world has changed. The normal blue sky was filled with thin green lines that formed a massive net in the clouds. A dim faint miasma was appearing from all sorts of people on the ground and moved along the green threads.
Even though nobody told him, Ddraig understood that the dark miasma represents human sins and evil, but what surprised him was that some of the miasmas took the form of... breasts.
Clouds of miasma drifted across the green lines in the form of breasts, and some of them even attached themselves to the green lines before crossing into space and vanishing.
VI awoke with a yawn from 4 of its 7 heads within Leo's spiritual landscape and shadow as it sensed something strange going on around it. When it opened its eyes completely, VI blinked a few times in confusion.
What is going on? When did the sin of lust turn into the sin of boobs? What about reality's and humanity's fundamental laws? I don't like this!! VI was experiencing an internal struggle, but then, as the Evil of Humanity, it got a message that caused it to freeze like a statue.
Who am I? What exactly am I? What actually is this? Is this true or fake? No, God is... It didn't take long for VI's vision to lose focus, and it collapsed to the ground and fainted.
Because of simple information, the Evil of Humanity suffered a stroke and fainted.
"Is he okay?" Ddraig was at a loss for words in response to VI's reaction, but Leo shook his head, and with a pained look on his face, said "Don't worry, this is a test that must be passed. I understand the pain." historical
"Anyway, as far as I can see, there's a certain goddess of... breasts... yeah, these sins would take us into... what was it called... ah! EXE's reality where that goddess resides" Leo felt slightly awkward to say this with a straight face.
"... And then?" Ddraig thought it would be best if he didn't inquire about the boobs' topic.
"We'll only go across the Dimensional Gap to build a spatial wormhole that leads..." Leo smiled softly, like a friendly young man, then he said "to exactly on top of the devils' base"
[You were dragged into a private conversation with DXD World's Will]
When Leo had finished explaining his brilliant idea, the Chat Room was activated without notice, and a single message full of kindness, understanding, and etiquette appeared in front of him.
[#######(DXD World's Will): You. Mother. Fucker!!! What's wrong with you??!! Are you mentally ill?! Why?! Just why?!]
"Ah, there you are." Leo was taken aback by how quickly this plan came to fruition. He didn't have to blow up reality even once.
[####### (DXD World's Will): Why, why would you do this? Do you really need to connect that reality to this one right now? The fucking plot hasn't even begun!!]
"Well, it'll eventually be linked to this one, so there's no harm in starting now." Leo grinned politely and spoke slowly, but DXD World's Will saw it as a mockery.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Do you take pleasure in my agony, you heartless monster?!]
"Hmmmm..." Leo put his hand on his chin before saying, "I can't even deny that..."
[#######(DXD World's Will): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!]
"Calm down, calm down, I'm not here to play tricks on you. Have some dignity, you're a World's Will." Leo said as he sat on the edge of the rooftop. "I'm just here to ask you a few questions, nothing more"
[#######(World's Will): Hah!! Do you think I'll believe you? I'm sure you'd want to do something else!]
"*Sigh* I'm not, but to be honest, you're the one who hurt us more than I did you." Through a shake of his head, Leo expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation.
[#######(World's Will): What are you talking about? Have you finally lost your mind? When did I cause you harm?]
"Take a look at this!" Leo said this as his shadow became larger and VI could be seen through it "VI had a stroke and almost fucking died! Look at what you did to my boy!"
VI's seven heads were lying on the surface of space, his eyes blankly gazing at the void. The news of God slammed into it like a planet collision.
"And now you're trying to refute it? I've never seen a World's Will as shameless as you in my life." Leo's face was overflowing with righteousness, which would make an average person feel guilty for what they had done, but it immediately triggered DXD.
[#######(World's Will): You, you pathetic excuse for an angel! You, of all people, dare to accuse me of being shameless!!??]
"I can't deny it, you pitiful excuse for a World's Will, but honestly, I have a very interesting question for you. Unless, of course, you want to join me in connecting EXE's reality to this one." Leo's relaxed smile faded and was replaced with one that was expressionless.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Hmph, if you ask nicely, I may consider it]
"Sure, I'll go to EXE's reality and ask you from there, but unfortunately, these things are connected to the Chat Room's mission, and they told me to ask you, so please answer." Leo casually waved his hand.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Tch! So, what exactly do you want to know? If it's a dumb thing, I swear to the source...]
"I have two things, one of which is fairly straightforward and the other... I'm not sure what to call it "Leo paused for a moment to think.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Let me start with the easy one and see what I'm getting myself into]
"What exactly are the Infected Replicas?" Leo didn't have to wait long after asking directly.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Oi! How did you find out about that? Did they begin to include those lucid dreams? Why hasn't anybody told me about this?!]
"Your generous senior (Toaru) informed me of it, and 'he' also said that you have a long history with them." As DXD's 'head' hurt, Leo repeated what he heard.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Damn 'him'! And when did I have a relationship with them?! Certainly, my 'former self' was really involved with them, but I didn't even touch them]
"What do you mean by 'former self?'" Leo raised an eyebrow at this intriguing word.
[#######(DXD World's Will): The previous DXD World's Will before 'he' got.. well, you know, destroyed and I was born in 'his' place.. Forget it! Ignore this! I don't want to talk about it, tell me the other question]
"*Sigh*" Leo sighed and adjusted his glasses before answering "Very well, tell me... What are your thoughts on Konosuba World's Will?"
[#######(DXD World's Will):*GASP!* WHAT?! When did you get involved with that guy?!]
"Did you not hear about Konosuba's mission?" Leo was taken aback by the intense reaction, which led DXD to write its expression.
[#######(DXD World's Will): No, no, not at all, but...]
"Is it something you can't say? Yeah, I thought it'd go like this." Leo shrugged as he got up. He expected the situation to end in this manner, so he wasn't surprised. This Konosuba World's Will is very tricky.
[#######(DXD World's Will): No, no, Goddammit, let me finish! It's not exactly a big secret... *sigh* I told you I'm the new DXD World Will, didn't I?]
"Yeah, you just did that." Leo confirmed those words even though he didn't see why he should.
[#######(DXD World's Will): Konosuba is different... 'he' is the only one]
"The one and only..." Leo's eyes widened dramatically as he came to a conclusion.
[#######(DXD World's Will): He is the only one, the Original Will that has existed since the dawn of its world, the Prototype of his world, the Archetype World's Will]
Leo nodded a few times with a blank face after reading DXD's message, but in his head, there was one clear question... Are you certain this isn't a secret?
