LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 986
6. Listening to the Power of the Gods
There’s no need for any subordinates to come and help “treat me” anymore. Even if my “purely bystander” question can only be understood by the great wizard, he still chose to come personally to “threaten me” out of concern that the other beastmen might suddenly “realize” something!
“You… nonsense-spouting human!?”
After an angry roar, the great wizard descended from the high tower of the temple, rushing towards me in a fit of rage! His absolute fury made the beastmen on either side, though confused, hurriedly clear a path!
Upon reaching me, he looked down at me from his towering height. The death script had already appeared, and in the great wizard’s eyes, there was a fierce malice.
“A mere human dares to medle in the affairs of our Austro-Hungarian tribe! Are you really just an ordinary human!?”
Unlike other beastmen who think solely with their muscles, this “big rat” in front of me is one of the few “smart” ones among the beastmen, filled with cunning and treachery just like a sly old rat.
In my memory, this fellow was ultimately expelled from the Austro-Hungarian tribe thanks to Zeros taking action as the “great chieftain.” However, in the “current” era, Zeros has not appeared, and the beastmen do not hold the “great chieftain.” chieftain” in such high regard. The difficulty of thwarting this fellow’s schemes is on a completely different level than before.
“You wouldn’t be a spy sent by the elves, would you!?”
【O’Keefe is suspected by the beastmen to be a spy!】
Good heavens, he wanted to destroy all the orcs except for the rats like you, and now he’s turning it back on me! And the worst part is, this move is actually working!
“Wait, wait, great wizard, this human is not…”
“Shut up! You two cowards no longer hold the rank of high orc warriors! Who knows if you’re in league with him!”
With a single sentence, the great wizard silenced Gu Erdan, who was trying to explain, and dragged both him and Gelrom into the mess! In an instant, with the frequent appearance of death scripts, the surrounding orcs began chattering loudly!
“Spy!? Ahhh! They must have been tricked by the elven women!”
“Damn humans, just like the elves, not a good one among them!”
“Exactly, kill him and throw him back to the elves, let those O-types see the consequences of sending spies!”
If the “Great Chieftain” still held any weight in the orcs’ hearts, they would surely want him to appear and settle the matter! However, in this “Era of Restoration,” without the Great Chieftain, who could be considered someone “on my side,” these simple orcs immediately took the great wizard’s words as truth!
Perhaps… this is exactly why Zelus hasn’t shown herself! Even if she did appear, it wouldn’t change anything—this great wizard had already tricked the orcs in the tribe into a full circle! Zelus may be an “A-typical ,” but she’s also a fairy. Who would take such a risk, exposing their identity time and again to help these foolish orcs?
【Euclid was beaten to death by the enraged orcs!】
Death scripts flooded in, and in that moment, I realized: as time passes, there are things now… even when I know the script, I can’t change them with my own strength! Just like now: no one will believe me, they aren’t even going to give me a chance to speak!
Even Gelrom and Gu Erdan, because of the great wizard’s anger, started to doubt me again! I came to the Austro-Hungarian tribe alone, without the help of the elven sisters. Now, all the dangers and troubles, I have to swallow them on my own!
To be honest, even with the script, this is tough as hell!
The feeling of despair hit me, but just as I was about to respond…
Time seemed to freeze, and beside me… a familiar figure hovered in the air, caressing my face.
“Alone? How is that possible, Euclid? Haven’t we always been together—past, present, and future, always.”
“Kefiel…”
“Are you still hesitating? Is there any other way for you now?” She stood beside me, watching the enraged orcs in front of us. For a moment, I even felt: we… were like players watching a game screen. The beings in front of us weren’t orcs, they were just… a bunch of data and information. We could pause, slow down, or even close our eyes to ignore it all. We could even… change it at will.
“I told you before, the era has returned to its proper course. Some things, you are no longer able to stop with ordinary methods. Now, only our power remains eternal and unchanging. Its goodness or badness doesn’t have a definitive conclusion from the beginning, but rather… it depends on how you use it.”
I know…
I might have known when I arrived at the Austro-Hungarian tribe that, as time passed, I could only forcefully revert the “restoration” era by using the power of the script. Because I had no choice, and no time to wait in agony . Just like now, I had to quickly find Zelus, to make her “remember,” where was the time, where was the heart…
Where was the heart?
Playing house with these “humble beings” here?
“Hahahaha~ We are ‘gods’~”
“Hmph, hahahaha~”
I changed the script, then smiled at the great wizard who had just been roaring at me.
“Great wizard, are you feeling guilty?”
“What!? You spy! Tribesmen! Look at him, clearly… uh!?”
The great wizard, who had just wanted to continue framing me, raised his head only to see… the surrounding orcs all wearing the same “indifferent face.”
“What, what are you doing!? Hurry up and kill this spy!?”
He wanted to warn them, but the orcs’ reactions were as indifferent as their expressions.
“Great wizard, are you feeling guilty?”
“You’re definitely trying to deceive us, right?”
The orc who had originally wanted to tear me apart in an instant began to doubt the great wizard. There was no reason, no cause needed; I had simply “changed” their thoughts, that was all.
“Great wizard? You see, now it’s you who is lying, how innocent I am~ Wuwuwu~”
“You! You… Hmph! A bunch of idiots! Keep a close eye on him! Even if he’s not a spy, he can’t run around!”
Knowing he couldn’t confront the many orcs publicly, the great wizard threw down a sentence and then fled into the temple in disgrace.
On his face lingered the astonishment and confusion of being completely at a loss in this scene.
“Like a clown~”
After speaking in unison, Clefiel added, “But is it really okay to let this humble being go just like that? O’Keelid, he will come back to take revenge on you; directly erasing his script would be quicker.”
“No…Ke Fei Er.”
I turned to look at her, “I want him to ‘think of’ me.”
Then, without acknowledging Ke Fei Er’s slightly surprised expression, I turned and temporarily left under the gaze of the orcs.
【The Great Wizard killed Oujili De!】
The script appeared!
I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, death script. You bring death, but you are also a “script,” so…
Let me make use of you.
