Episode 252. God of Destruction (4)
Grisha High End.
A tragic figure who was the village chief of an elf village but became corrupted by the atrocities of humans.
He is a being who, with the will to destroy all humanity, joins hands with Enviel and Machia and is reborn as a perfect villain.
He is a character who has no shortage of qualities to become such a terrible villain, as he has a noble family that he seeks revenge on.
However, for such a character, the ending of the main story was extremely disappointing.
He commits suicide for the sake of the plan and contributes to the politically driven nature of the protagonists.
He is so obsessed with revenge that he would put his own life on the line.
But his activities ended there. At the point of his death, his role could be considered to have been completed.
Grisha High-end is just a villain whose limits are limited to that.
“I’m an irregular?”
An unexpected word came out of Grisha’s mouth.
An anomalous being that could cause some kind of chaos. The only person who knows that I am such a being is Lyman.
Fortunately, Lyman noticed it thanks to his quick insight and his experience at a relatively nearby academy.
But what on earth is this Grisha?
A guy who I had no particular connection with, and who I had never really come into contact with.
How do you know I’m an irregular?
“You seem quite curious.”
“….”
“Well, I understand. If something you’ve been hiding gets discovered, everyone will make the same expression as you.”
And it’s very different from the Grisha expression I knew.
A face that looks very gentle, unlike the lonely expressions seen in game illustrations or event scenes.
It felt like another person was inside my body.
So, just in case, I tried to observe the guy using ‘Ma-an’ as much as possible.
“That’s the magic eye that Enviel used. Right?”
“what?”
“It’s no use trying to use that on me. I have the power to block that clairvoyance.”
What on earth are you talking about?
More than that, I wondered how he knew that I was a user of ‘Maan’.
I even knew that this was originally Envy’s property.
“No, to be exact… it would be possible because the source of that power is me.”
“text…?”
“Enviel, in fact, he was born with my power.”
Oh, what has that kid been talking about for a while now?
You know I’m an irregular, and you even see through me that I’m a Ma-an user.
He even talks as if Envy was his puppet.
How can he know so much when he’s just a minor villain who gets sacrificed along the way?
Even if the original story was wrong, it was too much for it to change to this extent.
In my opinion, it felt as if the creators had decided that ending it this way would be boring and had changed the game settings forcibly.
“Is that really Grisha High-end?”
“Ahh… Well, it seems everyone is prone to misunderstanding when they have this body.”
The black aura I felt from the guy grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if something dormant inside him was about to burst out of his body like an egg.
I could tell from that one fact alone: the guy wasn’t Grisha High-End.
“It took me quite some time to adapt to this body. During that time, all I could do was amplify the negative emotions of this man, Grisha, and grow stronger.”
“What is your identity?”
According to him, the guy is a mysterious being who stole Grisha’s body.
Even I, a 10-year veteran of Devil Aka, don’t know this setting. It’s so much so that I suspect it might be an additional setting.
And then I could hear the guy’s explanation about it.
“Those elven guys were really stupid. They didn’t even realize that the tree they worshipped was actually the one that sealed me away.”
In fact, the tree that the elves worshipped was a giant tree that sealed the power of the god of destruction, Endless.
And the rituals they performed regularly were not sacred worship, but rituals to strengthen the seal.
“They didn’t know that, but the fact remains that they ended up bothering me.”
“Then you….”
When the Elven Forest was burned by humans, its seal was also broken.
The thought that awoke from the seal took possession of Grisha, the last survivor.
“I am the being you call the God of Destruction. Although I am now nothing more than a small thought, I have succeeded in taking over this man’s body and even his mind.”
At first, due to the influence of being sealed in the giant tree, I did not have the power to have this kind of ego.
All he could do was to let out Grisha’s negative emotions, which had become a vessel.
That is how Grisha in the main story was born.
‘So that’s why you kept talking nonsense about destroying humanity.’
When I first took Grisha’s body, it didn’t have much effect.
It was great to amplify negative emotions and turn him into a vengeful spirit, but it was unexpected that he would commit suicide.
“When this guy said he would give up his position, I was very surprised. But surprisingly, he was able to survive until now.”
A fate that was originally supposed to be death.
However, some irregulars prevented his death in order to prevent his political activities.
As a result, Chapter 5 ended with a happy ending, but there was an anomaly that brought variables to the other side.
“I guess that guy Machia’s capture was also part of your scheme? It was a perfect plan devised by Doomsday and the Imperial Family, but I feel like it was seen through so easily.”
“How did you find out I was that irregular?”
“As I said before, Enviel’s Eye is originally my power. It wouldn’t be strange if I, the original, had a higher power than that.”
With that extraordinary clairvoyant power, he was able to see that I was from another world.
So, they judged my existence to be dangerous and tried to catch me by distributing leaflets.
“Somehow all my plans went awry. Starting with Enviel’s disappearance, the destruction of Mosria, and even the recent Magic Banquet.”
It felt like he knew all the events in advance and was responding to them, as if he had seen the future.
“I wouldn’t be so wary of you just because you come from another world. You surely know everything about this world, don’t you?”
As the guy said, I knew all the scenarios, so there was no shortage of things I could identify as risk factors.
Because the action leader, Machia, was already retired due to the movement I was trying to make in easy mode.
“So I’d like to suggest something.”
“What is it?”
“Will you become the vessel of my body?”
The guy’s true body is none other than the God of Destruction, Endless. Becoming his vessel is no different from having your body taken over by him.
Like Grisha now.
“Are you telling me to become your puppet?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I just want to know about you. Through your body, I will obtain vast information, and you will obtain great power as a God of Destruction.”
What do you think? A guy who asks me if I’m feeling better.
Since I too have inherited the blood of Macia, I have the aptitude to become a vessel.
But he is the final boss of this game.
It is no exaggeration to say that this being is the embodiment of all the evil energy of this world.
That kind of guy… .
“What if I refuse?”
There is no way to guarantee my safety.
“Isn’t this quite a pity?”
A guy who speaks indifferently when I rebel.
The answer you hear after that is obvious. You will show your teeth while saying, ‘You will die right here.’
But the response to that is already… .
“I think you’ll be the one who’ll lose out anyway.”
What kind of nonsense are you talking about again?
“You are definitely a being from another world. Then don’t you want to know why you were dragged to this world?”
“what?”
But my thoughts were suddenly cut off.
Looking back, it was the thing I was most curious about after coming to this world.
I was just enjoying the game normally… . I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them again, why was I standing at the Alighieri Academy?
Why did I possess the body of this con artist character called Radon Crowler?
There’s no way I haven’t thought about it.
“Don’t you want to know the truth? I think that’s what you’re most curious about.”
“….”
“Maybe you’re just being used. Were you summoned to this world of your own volition? If so, isn’t that incredibly unfair?”
Honestly, I was dumbfounded at first.
How could I not be surprised when I suddenly saw the panoramic view of Alighieri, which I had only seen on the screen, with my own eyes?
“So someone… summoned me here?”
“Yeah, I knew you’d be curious.”
If you want to know it, join hands with yourself.
That was the condition he put forth.
“Yeah, I want to know.”
“Then the story is quick. Right now….”
“But there’s no need to find out now.”
Boom!-
Ki-ki-ki-ki!-
Suddenly, a sound of metal bending rang out.
The iron bars installed across the hallway had been bent like a pair of scissors by someone.
And the spirits that had been imprisoned inside emerged from behind the bars.
“Oh no!”
Torma, who had been listening to our conversation from the side, quickly looked away.
-Awww!
-Krrrrrr!
The beasts bark fiercely.
The reason the guys got out is because I told the spirits to release the bars when they were walking down the hallway a little while ago.
“Hey, beast friends! You’ve got my back.”
“It’s not just you, it’s me and the Master too.”
“What are these guys…. Ugh!”
As soon as he saw the spirits, Torma was about to draw his sword. But suddenly he grabbed his neck and cried out in pain.
There was a thin fishing line around his neck that was not visible, and Torma had to show the gap without being able to draw his sword.
Push!-
“Kuuuk!”
The sharp feathers and pointed snake tail instantly pierced Torma’s upper body.
-Fishing Line Control Lv26
-Curse Grant Lv17
It wasn’t just a fishing line that strangled the neck.
He couldn’t even use his magic because he had placed a curse that paralyzed anyone he touched.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, it was not difficult to defeat Torma, who was unable to even resist during that gap.
“See? This is my answer.”
As I said before, I have no intention of giving in to his demands.
If that’s why I was brought here, it’s not too late to find out after I defeat that guy.
Moreover, since the god has been released, he cannot awaken the corpse of the evil god sleeping in the ground.
Krrrr!-
Kyaaaa!-
The gods also look at him sharply and growl loudly.
Now it seems like you’re saying it’s over.
Still, the guy opened his mouth.
“Is this also a future you know?”
“….”
If you’re talking about the future, you’re probably talking about the story in the main story.
“no.”
Even though it deviates from the main story, the fact remains that the guy has no other means.
“Phew… Then you wouldn’t know. I’m telling you that the preparations are already complete.”
“what?”
Suddenly, the corners of the guy’s mouth turn up in a bitter manner.
This is not the main story. Even if you are a 10-year veteran, it is impossible to explore the story outside of the main story.
Because it is unknown territory, my knowledge here is of no help.
That means….
“There is no need for any complicated procedures to awaken the corpse sleeping underground. With just a certain amount of divine power and my own thoughts, it is possible to bring it up.”
“Is that possible? Elder Enviel was barely able to achieve it by self-destructing the nine-tailed fox that absorbed the volcanic energy…!”
“His methods were pretty good, for a ‘human’. But he was just stupid compared to me.”
I could tell because I had looked through all of Enviel’s memories.
Enviel definitely knew how to awaken the corpse under Papyrus.
I was astonished at how that perfect method was all bullshit.
If Envyel himself had been there, he would have felt a great sense of deprivation… .
Kugugugugugu!-
At that moment, an earthquake occurred and the entire ground collapsed.
* * * * *
After that, a huge explosion occurred and half of the kingdom was destroyed.
The building had collapsed, leaving a pile of debris on the ground, and no one was wandering around.
There were buildings that hadn’t collapsed, but they were in a tattered state.
And I was currently on top of that surviving building.
“What is this….”
Clearly, a huge explosion occurred within that ground.
As a result, the kingdom changed into this shape, as you can see.
There’s no way I’m still alive, having been standing at the epicenter of that explosion.
-Kkiiing
-Crunch!
Even the divine beast that my lords had released was by my side.
That’s when I started wondering who on earth ordered us to teleport and save us.
Until I felt his presence.
“There’s no way you wouldn’t be here in a place like this.”
Lyman Vegilius. He’s been standing behind me for some time now.
If Chairman Mirona went out on her own, there’s no way this guy wouldn’t have followed her.
“As for the other kids, don’t worry. They’re safe because Mary used defensive magic a little while ago.”
Jenny and her safety were heard from Lyman’s mouth.
I said with a relieved smile.
“You managed to teleport me anyway.”
“No, I just ran.”
“You ran?”
You ran here with me and these beasts just before that explosion happened?
Even with the ‘Maan’ that detects everything, it wasn’t caught at all?
There has never been a crazy person, past or present.
“Anyway, what are we going to do about that?”
Lyman said, pointing to the darkening sky.
A more difficult situation than expected has arisen.
Because on the ground, the corpses of evil spirits were awakening, and in the sky, the final boss who would destroy everything began to descend.
“I have to try it.”
But as always, I was just pioneering.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
