I Became a Soul Eater - Chapter 150
Of course, according to Bastet, not all of them can be awakened.
“So you’re saying I can achieve what I want by awakening the gods and using the rewards I’ll receive?”
[It must be up to you.]
But there is one problem with this. Shouldn’t Zurvan wait until I collect those rewards?
“By the way, isn’t Zurvan going to another dimension now?”
[I guess so]
“Then isn’t it useless even if I collect the rewards?”
[There is still work to be done with Gaia, so please wait for me]
“How much time do I have?”
Zurvan snorted and looked at me with the expression he had earlier.
[Are you asking time from Zurvan of Time?]
Do you mean waiting indefinitely? I’m really grateful for that, but basically it’s like a god with a bad personality.
“thank you.”
That said, there is no reason to deal with it for a long time.
But he remembered the seed Gaia had given him when he said he would meet Zurvan. I took out the seed and showed it to Zurvan.
“Gaia-nim said she would wake up Zurvan-nim, so she told me to take this.”
Zurvan looked at the seed in my hand and frowned.
[Leave it.]
When I told them to put it in, I just put it in, but there was something unpleasant about it. Perhaps reading my expression, Zurvan added a word.
[It is not yet time to use it.]
“okay.”
[When you find me, I will find you.]
Zurvan disappeared leaving behind the sound of catching the floating clouds unique to the gods. Doesn’t he mean that if I find him, he will find me?
I didn’t think that meeting Zurvan would solve everything easily, but things turned out to be bigger than I thought.
It is a reward from the gods, which is obviously appetizing. But how long will it take to solve this?
Not all vessels are ready to wake up. If the bowl is a newborn baby, you will have to wait for the body to grow enough to withstand it.
If it’s a beast like Bastet, it may take a few months, but if it’s a human or an unusual creature, it can take quite a while.
Of course, there is no reason to wake up all the gods. As for the rewards given by the gods, as long as you get exactly what you need to revive Nivea, you won’t be greedy for anything else.
It seemed that Zurvan would wait indefinitely, but it was rather me who was pressed for time.
I started working right away the next day. The first to work was Anu, the sky god associated with Merlin.
Anu’s vessel was in Britain. Anu’s bowl was a sturdy adult male working as a shepherd, and I could feel it as soon as I started waking up the bowl. this fails
Anu was a god who did not realize his sin. work was stopped The memory of the man who was a bowl was erased.
Merlin explained the situation. Merlin looks a bit disappointed
“The days to live have increased, hahahaha!”
and passed It wasn’t hiding something, it was the truth. It’s like this way and that way. I wondered if it was a side effect of living a life close to eternal life beyond longevity.
Both Merlin and Christian were delighted with Gaia’s return. Now there is a god in this world. It’s unlikely that Gaia, who has decided to stand by, will do anything, but this is a big difference.
Next, Christian decided to wake up Mnemosyne, whom he had been waiting for so long. This time, Christian also decided to accompany them.
In a Mediterranean country, a girl who worked as a maid in a library was Mnemosyne’s vessel.
I snatched the bowl first. I didn’t even say goodbye to my family in advance in case of failure like Anu’s case.
Of course, personally, I think that Mnemosyne is a god with a very high possibility of awakening. Because he was the god who arranged for me to be put in with Gaia and Zurvan.
The work began and, as expected, Mnemosyne successfully awoke. When the transmission of information was over, Mnemosyne suddenly began to weep. Seeing God cry for the first time, I was very embarrassed.
[Many people lost their lives because of me.]
Perhaps he is referring to the thousands of people who have lost their lives within the Astral Dimension he has created.
I was honestly surprised. I didn’t even know that the idea of a god I had seen until now was wrong.
“Don’t cry. It’s not your fault.”
Christian, who was on his knees and bowed his head at the impression of meeting Mnemosyne, wept together, banging his head on the ground and shouting.
[It’s my fault.]
Mnemosyne reproached herself and closed her eyes. At first glance, the picture looked great.
I didn’t show it because it seemed like I was hitting a candle in a scene that evoked emotion, but I felt a bit of a difference.
I didn’t tell Christian or Merlin, but there were still many questions about Mnemosyne’s aspect dimension.
Crucially, it was a diary left by a married couple on an uninhabited island. It was written in the diary that the couple went out with Mnemosyne’s permission.
Did Mnemosyne not know that the couple who came out would fall on an uninhabited island? What about the Vikings as well as the thousands of people who remained there and gathered in front of Mnemosyne’s mansion and died without even stepping a step into it? Thinking so, the actions of Mnemosyne in front of her began to look like pretense.
The gods he had met so far had various personalities, so there was no law saying that there shouldn’t be a god like Mnemosyne.
Mnemosyne, who had just been weeping, opened her eyes and looked at me with a benevolent smile.
[O recorder of wandering and time. You did a great job.]
“I just did it for a purpose. It was also an irresistible flow.”
[But it was possible because of you.]
“I’m just following his will.”
A fleeting, but displeased feeling passed over Mnemosyne’s face. What part of my words might have spurred her on?
[You are similar to me.]
That’s right. I’ve never experienced Mnemosyne myself, but from Christian’s mouth-watering explanation, Mnemosyne and I have many similarities in terms of abilities.
[Do you know that one of your powers is also mine?]
Oh, was it like that? The ability to erase memories seems to belong to Mnemosyne.
“I just remembered.”
If so, it seems that arrangements for this moment have been underway much longer than I thought.
[Now I’m not going to be of any help to you anymore, so let’s get it back]
Suddenly, I felt something being pulled out of my heart. There was no such thing as pain, but it was an unpleasant feeling, as if a part of the body had disappeared.
“I was using it quite well”
[The rest of your powers are not yours, so it would be better to shake them off one by one.]
“Isn’t that nice?”
[At your level, having the blessings of multiple gods becomes poison.]
For a long time, I thought it was not normal. There was simply no point of comparison.
“Are all the gods who sent the debris to the other side related to me?”
[No it is not.]
If so, that’s fortunate. Nergal’s powers of disease and healing were powers that were still useful. Nergal was also included in the gods of this earth. If you don’t want to give it back, it’s enough if you don’t wake up Nergal.
[In return, I will give you a tablet as a token of gratitude.]
“Isn’t that something important?”
Now it’s just a brick that has lost its light, but isn’t it a sacred object of God?
[It’s a very good thing. However, it was not originally my thing.]
“I wonder if it has lost its light and now its lifespan is over.”
I took out my tablet and showed it. It means to ask for a proper reward instead of this useless junk while taking back the authority.
[Combining it with your Noble Phantasm will help.]
Combining records and bricks? What kind of weird combination is that? They both have similar functions, but can they be combined?
As soon as the words came out, he took out the records and held them against the bricks. But as expected, nothing happened.
Even Mnemosyne failed to manage her expression and was looking at me with a pitiful face. No, you did it because you told me to merge, right?
[Wake up Acrylick and ask him for glue]
You should have told me that from the beginning. But does it take only glue to put the two together?
“All right.”
Mnemosyne looked away from me and looked at Christian for the first time.
[Christian I am about to leave this world.]
“I will follow you wherever it goes.”
Christian didn’t even hesitate. There was nothing strange about this person who had been waiting for this moment for over a thousand years.
[Thank you.]
Is the world following Mnemosyne the same as the phase dimension Christian experienced? Even if it wasn’t, Christian would be happy. That’s it.
[And recorder of wandering and time. I have one request.]
“Tell me.”
[Please ask the family of the maiden who was the original owner of this body. The family will be in a very difficult position without this child.]
This was also a surprise. Being a god who takes care of human beings, who were his family when he was a vessel, Mnemosyne was a being that broke the common sense that the existing gods showed in many ways. Even if it feels like a pretense.
“Do you remember when it was a bowl?”
[Isn’t that obvious?]
“I thought it was because he was the god of memory.”
[Would it be a punishment if I forgot so easily?]
Indeed, it was like that. I felt like I could understand a little bit of his intentions now. This was not the punishment given to the gods for fighting with each other in the first place.
“All right. The family of that body makes me responsible.”
I readily accepted Mnemosyne’s request. Because it wasn’t that difficult in the first place.
“Germain, I also have a request.”
Christian’s request was also obvious. He wanted to ask for the Knights of the Rose Cross.
“For now, let Merlin and I take care of it. Is there anyone else you want to designate as your successor?”
Christian handed me two letters with the seal stamped in his arms as if he had already prepared them.
One to his family and one to Georg of the Rosicrucian Order. The next leader of the Rosicrucian Knights must be Georg.
“Please”
“Georg will do just fine.”
Because he looked strong and wasn’t a bad person. However, the operation of the Knights of the Rose Cross will inevitably be different from before.
Because the purpose of the Knights of the Rose Cross has already been achieved. It was also something that would inevitably happen the moment someone other than Christian became the general manager.
Although it operates in secret, it is the richest organization in the world. The moment Kristian disappears, there is a high possibility of sparking strife.
I’m not going to bother blocking it. Even if I block it, it will happen someday.
Mnemosyne and Kristian greeted me and disappeared with a flash of light. I entrusted Mnemosyne’s vessel’s family to the Masonic branch and helped them to work there with some riches.
Simply giving a lot of wealth would not have been what Mnemosyne wanted. Together with him, he delivered letters to Christian’s family and Georg.
Christian’s family, the Rosenkreuz family, were unexpectedly unsettled. It was as if he knew at some point that Christian was the one to leave.
As expected, the inside of the Knights of the Rosicruc has entered into a silent war. Nominally, it was decided that Georg would become the next general manager, but the massive wealth accumulated so far was enough to blind people.
