WR – Chapter 153-154: Few against many

The Black Cloud swirled around as if it had its own will.

It was high in the sky.

From the center of that swirl, a part of the black cloud stretched thinly like that of a spider thread, and just like that, it stretches all the way down.

Then, it lowers onto Shiva who was standing up with his body covered in wounds.

“Let me introduce it to you. This is my Mother Monster, Beelzebub.” (Shiva)

“Wind Mother Monster?! That black smoke?!” (Haine)

I couldn’t describe it in any other way.

From afar, it only looks like a black cloud; from up close, it looks like black smoke.

It is not impossible, but it is a gaseous-like body that doesn’t look like a living being at all. Even if they are classified as monsters, aren’t they supposed to be connected to living beings somehow or another?

“At the same time as they can give birth to wind element monsters, I also had them take on the role of hiding and protecting Rudras Metropolis. In other words, that is the Wind Barrier. Even if there’s travelers encountering the Wind capital by coincidence, these guys won’t allow them to enter unless allowed!” (Shiva)

“Making use of every goddamn thing! The humans, the city, the ethereal, and the monsters as well; you are utilizing them all as much as you want!” (Haine)

“I wonder about that. But that ends today. These guys will devour everything after all!” (Shiva)

The black smoke rushes in wave towards me with the order of Shiva.

My instincts were telling me that being bathed by that would definitely be bad news.

“Hmph!!”

I faced that thing straight on.

I release dark matter, and with the same level of wave, I clash it with the black smoke.

“I don’t know what that black smoke is, but it looks like it doesn’t have the power to fight straight on against the dark matter. I can feel the divine power is being erased!” (Haine)

“That’s true, but what about the others aside from you?” (Shiva)

“!!!”

Something came to mind, and I face the side.

And then, what came to view were the heroes that were being attacked by the black smoke in the same way as me, and the Founders as well!

“Damn it!!” (Haine)

I quickly ran towards them.

I will be distancing myself from Shiva in this way, but now that things have turned like this, I have no choice.

“Kyaaaa!!” (Karen)

“What-dasu?! What-dasu?!” (Sasae)

“At any rate, it is certain that touching that thing will be dangerous! [Flame Burst]!” (Mirack)

The large fire that Mirack released had burned the place where the black smoke is, and it hindered its advance.

Thanks to that, the Founders and heroes are currently okay.

“Everyone!!” (Haine)

I also ran towards the group and release dark matter at the surroundings.

“Mirack! It looks like my power and yours is effective against this black smoke! The two of us will take one side each and block them out completely!!” (Haine)

“Got it!! But this smoke, since the fire element is effective against it, could it be that it is something wind element related?!” (Mirack)

Based on the element affinities, fire is the one that’s strong against wind.

Fire will breathe in the air, increase in potency, and with that heat, it disturbs the flow of the wind.

In our first encounter with Mirack, I remember her burning all the wind element monsters -Python Flies- with one attack.

And so, the same thing happening here serves as a strengthening statement towards this black smoke actually being the Wind Mother Monster.

“We don’t know what this smoke is! As long as we don’t clarify the identity of it, don’t touch it by no means!!” (Celestis)

“You say identity, but how are we even going to identify it?! From what I can see, aside from it moving as if it has a will of its own, it seriously just looks like smoke, you know?!” (Mirack)

The fastest way would be to ask Shiva himself, but that guy is still at the center of the ring, and was simply looking at us with a grin on his face.

Mirack is releasing fire and I am releasing dark matter without pause, but the smoke is also coming down nonstop from the main body -the black cloud.

As long as we don’t burn it or erase it, we will be at a stalemate here.

“What is the Wind Founder doing?!”

I don’t know who said it, but that is a natural question.

Only the Wind Founder Shiva was not doing anything and simply standing on the ring, but he is completely fine. It doesn’t look like the black smoke is doing anything to him.

But that doesn’t mean we would get positive and think that we will be fine as well.

Unless you are extremely dense, you would definitely notice that this abnormality has something to do with the Wind Founder.

“Haine-san, what is the Wind Founder trying to do?! Just what in the world is this black smoke?!” (Karen)

And that question being directed at me who was fighting with the Wind Founder is also natural.

We were talking for quite a bit after all.

“No, well…” (Haine)

But as expected, I couldn’t tell them the reality straight. There’s no way I can tell them that the Wind Founder is the Wind God himself, and he suddenly became despaired, and is now trying to suicide together with the world.

While I was hurting myself on what to say…

“More importantly, Karen-san…” (Yorishiro)

Yorishiro speaks in good timing.

“The light divine power is not simply a power that destroys enemies with light. If that were the case, it would be no different from the fire divine power.” (Yorishiro)

“Yorishiro-sama? What is it, all of a sudden?” (Karen)

“Gather your light divine power to your eyelids and try to strain your eyes. The eyes are an instrument to catch the reflected light and grasp the surroundings. By increasing the accuracy of the information received by this reflected light with divine power…” (Yorishiro)

“L-Like this?! Kyaaaa!!” (Karen)

Did she see something by doing what Yorishiro suggested?

Karen-san lets out a scream fitting her age.

“What?! Karen, what happened?! …….Damn it, at times like this, to think I can’t move from my place!” (Mirack)

“Don’t get caught by your wicked desires and continue putting out a fire wall, lesbo hero!! So Karen-chi, what happened?!” (Celestis)

Karen-san answers Celestis with a trembling voice.

“This black smoke…this black smoke is…!” (Karen)

“Yes?” (Celestis)

“Bugs.” (Karen)

Eh?

“It looks like they are some sort of flies-desu wa ne. But they are incredibly small. They are even smaller than grains of sand. And there’s several millions of flies swarming around. That’s the true identity of this black smoke.” (Yorishiro)

“Waaaa?!” (Haine)

I unintentionally let out my voice at the words of Yorishiro.

In other words, this black smoke is actually a gathering of incredibly small insects?!

“Nuooooooooooooo!!!” (Mirack)

Hearing this, the strength of Mirack’s fire increases even more.

“That’s right.” (Shiva)

At some point in time, Shiva had arrived at a place close to us.

“The Wind Mother Monster, Beelzebub. Its identity is that of a swarm of super small fly-shaped monsters. They are a gathering of around a hundred billion, but the monster itself is only one. It is a group, and yet, it is only one kind of monster. By dispersing to the surroundings, they lay eggs all around, and wind monsters are born from it.” (Shiva)

This guy is saying such essential stuff in front of everyone…

“Riding the wind, they appear, swarming on rotten meat, they use that as a sacrifice to lay eggs, and change them to a new life. Life is born from filth. And the one that embodies this the most is the fly army, Beelzebub. By the hands of them, the world will meet its end today!!” (Shiva)

  • 154: Baal Cloud

“What be the meaning of this-sa ne, Wind Founder?”

The very first one to voice out was the Earth Founder Obaa-san.

“A Founder controlling a monster, I can only think of it as a bad joke. But if ya say it be the Mother Monster we been discussing about, that makes it the more doubting-sa ne.”

“…Hmph.” (Shiva)

Shiva simply made a villainous smile.

He doesn’t answer.

Is that supposed to be him scorning us?

“Don’t just stay silent and answer!” (Azul)

Even the Water Founder. As expected, he forgot his usual gentleness and lifted his voice.

{…Founder! Founder! I request a response!}

From the ear of the Water Founder, I heard an unfamiliar voice.

It came from the ethereal wireless communication device at his ear.

“…Stream Marine General? What’s wrong?” (Azul)

So they had communication with the outside through the wireless device?

The call was probably from the troops that were in standby outside Rudras Metropolis.

{It is an emergency! The cloud! The black cloud that was covering the sky has come down the ground, and—!!}

?!!

I look at the sky. There, I saw that the line that was connecting the black cloud to the ground… was not a single line anymore…

“Could it be—?! The soldiers at standby outside are also being attacked?!” (Haine)

The only thing that we have to understand what’s happening outside is the voice that’s telling us about it from the wireless device.

Moreover, that voice was trembling with fear and confusion.

{The cloud… turned into smoke…a black smoke, and is closing onto us. It was eerie, so we fought back, but against smoke, the expected effect is not showing, and a few of the people at the frontline that touched the smoke…have been covered completely by it, and—!!}

“Hiiiih?!”

We, who knew about the real identity of the smoke, let out screams.

<More than ten have fallen victim to it. With their whole body covered by the smoke, they fell writhing in pain….! Eh? Wait a moment please! The smoke is backing off from the fallen people, and…!!>

Eh?

{Great! I don’t know why, but it looks like the smoke has pulled back on its own! Are you okay?! Medic! Just in case, check out the people that have been attacked by the smok—GAhaaagh?!}

“Wa?! What was that?! A scream?! What happened?! Respond!” (Azul)

For a while, only the sound of chaos reverberated from the wireless device.

{Founder! This is terrible! The people that were caught in the smoke and were now released from it, have suddenly begun attacking us!! There’s no response even when we call out to them! The black smoke is also slowly approaching again! Orders please!! Orde—-Gugyaa!}

After that, no matter how many times the Water Founder called, the only thing that was returned from the wireless device were screams and bellows.

“…Shiva!!!” (Haine)

I also let out an angry roar at Shiva.

With absolute certainty that he is the one who is responsible for this abnormal circumstances.

“…What Beelzebub is aiming for…is the insides of you humans.” (Shiva)

He replied with a tone as if he were teaching pitiful lost lambs.

“Sticking onto the humans, they enter through places like the mouth, nose, ears; at every possible hole to invade the body. Entering the lungs, passing through the veins, and at the end, they arrive at the brain. A single one of Beelzebub is as big as 1/10 of a grain of sand. There’s no problem in invading the body with that size. Then, once it arrives at the brain, it takes over their thoughts and…” (Shiva)

As if edging the shock even deeper, he stored it before saying it.

“…It can freely control them.” (Shiva)

“Then, the reason why the soldiers suddenly attacked their comrades was…!” (Haine)

Because they were already the puppets of the flies.

“But that’s not all, you know? After all, the most important point of Beelzebub is that they are a Mother Monster. They have the function of laying eggs that give birth to wind element monsters. The brain of a human must be quite the nutritious place as a seedbed, don’t you think so too?” (Shiva)

“You—!!” (Haine)

“ Fighting in this place, have all the humans be parasitized by Beelzebub, and just like that, I will have them return to their homelands. By the time they arrive, all their bodies should be filled with eggs. In time, they will hatch, tear away the host, and grow. The very center of the settlements will be covered by several hundreds of wind element monsters. Moreover, by that time, the Founders and heroes will have been turned into seedbeds as well and already be dead.” (Shiva)

“Disgusting-dasu~~~!!” (Sasae)

Sasae-chan couldn’t endure it and lets out a groan. That’s how much the explanation of Shiva must have been displeasing in a physiological way.

So for those things, we are all only egg-laying containers huh.

Not only will we be killed…they plan on parasitizing us as living corpses!

{Founder-sama!! 1/10 of the troops stationed here have fallen to the control of the mysterious smoke! What should we do? Please give us orders!!}

At times, there would be understandable voices coming from the communication device, voices that were at their wit’s end.

Even if they are being controlled, they are comrades. They probably can’t attack them without hesitating.

As they continue in that state, the situation progresses.

“Now that it has come to this…!!” (Haine)

I resolve myself.

But Shiva was a breath faster.

“Hmph.”  

Shiva’s body was obstructed by the black smoke, and just like that, he disappeared.

“He ran away?!” (Haine)

The most effective way of dealing with this swarm of flies is to defeat Shiva who is the one controlling them.

This black smoke that is made up of minuscule flies; each one of them may be small, but if the numbers are in the billions, the whole of them is close to being as big as the giant tree, Grandma Wood.

After all, the black cloud, that can be said to be the parent body, is covering the sky as far as the eye can see, and even when it has poured quite the amount to the ground, its denseness hasn’t changed at all.

If we just continue as we are -blocking them with Mirack’s fire and my dark matter- it is clear that it will turn into us exhausting ourselves.

And worst than that, the casualties the soldiers outside are receiving is serious.

Toreido Shiva… Wind God Quasar.

Are you seriously aiming to destroy the world using the Mother Monster?

  6. thank you for translating this novel, but sadly this is really getting rather boring imho, i will be dropping this, and i wish you consider returning the sponsored chapters for tsuki ga michi, i’ll gladly donate. i don’t mean to offend those who love this novel peace!

    1. Well, it’s your problem if you think it’s boring, but you could at least be mindful of Reigokai and drop this without letting anyone know, since surely most don’t care. He/she/helicopter has already requested in the past that if someone wants to drop his/her/helicopter translations, they do so without leaving a comment saying do and just do it silently instead. Be mindful of Reigokai who does the translation for free. Also, how could he go back to the sponsored chapters for Tsuki? There are no more chapters. That’s why he piqued this WN in the first place. If there is any more available chapters he will translate then soon enough, so I don’t see the point of having sponsored chapters that the author him/herself hasn’t written yet.

      1. True, Reigokai-sama did say that in the past, just drop it silently, don’t need to comment it here. Your drop comment makes his motivation to translate this less is equivalent to drop his motivation to translate TsukigaMichi also less.
        He translate for free and even shared them with us. Don’t make us mad a you just because of this.
        In other words, Just shut up, drop it and get out.

        1. Ho… which one?
          Hmm… I think there is someone who wield a dual blade in raidous student… tho I forgot his name, but I do remember that he wanted to join Kuzunoha cCompany and our beloved former lich supports him too… am I correct?

        2. A more handsome, top student Flying “Or Something” Orca…

          A rival character appears!? The reincarnator spirit formerly known as Tractor-kun! Man, I loved that guy.

  9. Thanks for the chapters Reigokai! (●ω<)

    Well, I gotta say, as it was said in a comment in the previous post, I think that the phrase; “I lost… so fuck you all!”, describes Quasar in an accurate way.
    Also, it's refreshing to see that the wind MM (mother monster) is something more original instead of
    your generic fantasy monster. It even is of biblical proportions. Well, it usually should be locusts, but hey, it's a plague of billions micro-small flies, so it fits the criteria to be called biblical in my book.
    Also… too bad Quasar went from an ambitious, hardworking tsundere to… a sore loser and jerk

  11. .

    （ ´・ω・`)　 (○) Thanks….

  13. “I was tempted by Inflation.” (Shiva)
    Me too…poor me, as a man I am absolutely tempted by her. Haagh…
    Damn Quasar, he is really good as a villain. Aw, still naive till the end eh, Haine. He knows very well his hunting activities means killing Gods indirectly, yet still trying to reason with them, ck, this make me miss Makoto so much…”A is A, I want B then B”. So damn bad ass..

    1. More like Shiva’s the only lead they have on the wind mother monster. This isn’t like Tsuki where they have Tomoe to look through their memories.

      1. It reminds of a certain monster in video game that in was in a million pieces but as you slowly destroy at the end it leaves 1 bug and 1 of the characters steps on it and defeats the last 1.

        1. Speaking of video game monsters, I finally remembered what game Quasar’s desperate attempts to overcome Entropy reminded me of.

          Trillion: God of Destruction. The ultimate superboss with a trillion hit points that you have to somehow take down before you run out of cute Maoh girls to sacrifice in battle.

  17. welp… from Pure thought and dreamer God become mindless loser who want to share his pain that he lose to the world?
    damn….

  18. Remind me of that epic speech by sora about the weak(ngnl) but too bad quasar as a villain your “unlimited flies work” will fail for plot convenience (a great plan though)

  20. Thanks for the chapter. This whole fighting with a cloud of bugs reminds me of Shino Aburame from Naruto. Once his bugs get a hold of someone that cover them up and do sort of like this. So Shiva is a Bug master or Trainer.

  24. Thanks for the chapter, Reigo-senpai.

    “What?! Karen, what happened?! …….Damn it, at times like this, to think I can’t move from my place!” (Karen)

    Shouldn’t that have been fire hero who said that?

    Anywho, Quasar’s a jerk. Because he couldn’t beat Haine, he’s destroying all humans.

        1. I wonder? They all seem to embody a fatal flaw of some kind.

          Gods are generally not the nicest individuals in fiction, but strangely enough…the Base Elements (except Coacervate) don’t seem to reflect the most common personality flaws gods have.

          Maybe…there’s some sort of imbalance thing going on? Gods are not and cannot have other elements within them, so the traits they have are stretched to the extreme and it wore away on their psyches. Or maybe the author is trying to create some sort of symbolism here and we just can’t quite see the trend yet?

          I mean it’s-let me just take a stab at it.

          Inflation: Excess Love
          Nova: Excess Aggression
          Coacervate: Excess Control (Possessiveness? )
          Mantle: Excess Passivity (I could actually go a bit further with her and web-diagnose her with Avoidant Personality Disorder)
          Quasar: Excess Ambition

          I feel like even Entropy could have one here somewhere, but I’m currently drawing a blank.

          Note that none of the gods actually have a problem with “Excess Pride”. The Base Elements minus Mantle are all proud in their own way, sure, but it’s something that happened to Nova & Coacervate when they sealed Entropy and Quasar would never have gotten as far as he did if he had an “excess” of it holding him back for 1,600 years.

          1. I think you may have a point with all the gods have some kind of excessive “something”.
            I don’t quite agree with you on Inflation and Nova though. An Excess of love is obsession and Inflation is not obsessed with Entropy, well may be a little but she does willing to share her desire to be entropy’s wife with karen. So perhaps Inflation is more leaning towards Affection? As for Nova… I can’t quite put the words but maybe it’s Worry? Excessive worry? I mean his condition right now (Being submissive and all) kinda hint at him having some kind of superiority complex, which was broken by Haine and left his mind in disarray or shall I say… broken. That is why he is as submissive as a zoo animal, because his mind can not handle the stress of being overpowered and resorted to create any justification to save it self from crumbling.

            Obsession may fit on Entropy. I mean he DID kill one of his own kind just to save humans… and we as humans KINDA have our bias towards our own species as a whole that MAY affect our evaluation of his actions no matter how twisted it was in retrospect… and let me clarify that he is not obssesed with humans as a being but with the possibilities that which the humans possesed that is why he is so dead set on making the gods off the world chess pieces because he REALLY WANTS to see what the humans could accomplished.

            That is how I see things at least. This may be what the author intended to do with the story, with every divines having some kind of “flaw” in their personality and the effects of those “flaw” to the world they created.

          2. I think “Excess Love” suits Inflation well enough. Inflation is fundamentally driven by love, but it’s not always love for Entropy.

            Her brutal trap against the other gods with prayer energy as well as her reformations as the Light Founder can be said to stem from her love for humans-or at least her worshipers. And it was this excess of love that managed to turn her against Entropy in the war of Genesis in the first place-loyalty, devotion, or anything like that wouldn’t cause this. And an excess of affection would imply she expresses and demands affection without actually caring about what the other parties feel, which she clearly does.
            The fact that she’s willing to share with Karen is also why I went with Love instead of something like possessiveness, protectiveness, or the like.

            So yeah. Excess Love seems to fit Inflation best.

            Nova is actually surprisingly hard to work out. And the problem all comes down to the seemingly 180 he took as the Fire Church’s pet cow. Excess anger, aggression, impulsiveness, willpower, domination, anxiety…none of these things can fit to both sides. Granted, we could argue that his excess dissipated in the latter form, but that still makes it hard to judge exactly it is that’s driving him.

            And Entropy…See, Entropy is tricky too. As the MC, he’s obviously going to act the most stable and well-adjusted of the gods, so where exactly is the excess?
            I could argue he has excess flexibility or tolerance, since this whole problem wouldn’t have happened if he just put his foot down and asserted his authority as head god from the start. But he’s also willing to be strict when it’s needed.
            Then maybe it’s excess kindness? But that doesn’t really tie into his character enough to be a driving motivation.
            Excess obsession might count if we consider how fixated on humans he is, but it’s not really reached a destructive level that we can see yet. The only way I’d conclude something like that is if Haine suddenly started crushing equally sentient non-human races with the indifference of a god.

            So what else is there? His main problem after looking at his interactions with Inflation, Quasar, and a couple of gag scenes with the humans is that he suffers from tunnel vision. As the strongest existence, he struggles to comprehend anything beneath him and thus is fascinated when the weakest little things known as humans manage to expand his horizons with their potential (also why he seemed pleased at how hard Quasar worked to close the gap between them). But…well…what would you even call that? Excess strength? Excess position?

          3. Yep, we still need to wait for the author to drop more hints towards what “twisted” personality Entropy has. (We talked as if it is an established fact already aren’t we?)

            Well our disagreement(?) regarding Inflation’s “twisted” personality just proof that each individual may have their own different views regarding love, though I agree that in general what you said is quite right. But I personally can’t view it as such, call me fickle if you want but that is just me I guess? Hahaha…

            Though I still strongly support that Entropy is tied with Obsession. That tunnel vision of his may be just a part of his or the reason for his obsession towards humans, well in any case we can only wait to find out more about Entropy as a god and then we can flesh out a better theory with a better footing. As it stands right now, we don’t have enough proof to talk about Entropy, even the other base gods are still quite grey Honestly. They can’t be fully driven by one thing only right? There must be other factors that we have to count before we can definitely tell right?

            GAH! This is confusing me! I need moreeeeeeee! (I sounded like an addict lol)

      2. Gods are always extremes of human traits, seen positively as “virtues” at times, and as incredibly unstable at most times. So far we’ve seen a lot of Pride, Strength/Fortitude (Willpower), Ambition, and I suppose Mantle was Kindness, she just wanted world peace.

        1. I can’t say Mantle could be classified as Kindness. The thing with her was that she never did the things she did (or didn’t do) because it was the kind or right thing to do.

          She only ever did anything because she was adverse to-at the level of being terrified of-conflict.
          She wanted peace because she hates any sort of conflict no matter what kind, and was willing to do what she did because she valued the peaceful lethargy of being comatose over the chaotic and frictional sentience.

          I can’t even label her with excessive peacefulness because excessive peacefulness implies she’s either internally serene to the point of apathy or loves peace enough to actively fight for it (the fact that she’s crippled with indecisiveness means she’s more afraid of conflict than interested in peace itself).
          Put another way, excess kindness would mean she’s driven to do whatever she thinks is kind to a destructive level, while excess peace means she should be a peacemaker as opposed to a peacekeeper.

          1. Helpfulness then, she wanted to work for Honda in a previous life, but went too far with the help. She wanted to help the gods, to prevent fighting, and help the humans for the same reason. Just keep being helpful, to the point that nobody has to even ask for help, it is just provided beforehand.

            There’s probably a better term for it, though. Maybe Hospitality, Assistance…. Huh, apparently Hestia is seen the same way, passive enough that she gets pushed out of some of the carvings of the pantheon, replaced by the party god.

          2. Again, helpfulness implies active participation and initiative. Mantle clearly had neither, so I can’t call her helpful either. None of those work because that implies she’d side with someone enough to help their cause.

            The truth is that Mantle is stuck in the middle and doesn’t care about any cause. Really, the only thing that drove her was a fear of conflict.

  25. …Wow, what a sore loser. 😛

    Does this mean Mirack doesn’t like bugs? Well this certainly changes how I imagined her movements to be before her introduction in the forest ages ago…

    But seriously, this just went from shonen to horror in a heartbeat. I was not expecting something as grotesque as this.
    …And yet, why do I find the concept for Beelzebub to be the coolest we’ve seen thus far despite that?

      1. This is? I don’t recall this sort of plague being in the Bible.

        Also, Beelzebub is a generic fantasy creature name. Most generic fantasy creatures have a real-life folklore/religion source. It’s just slightly reserved for the slightly higher ranking stuff and derived from individual beings within the lore. Another example would be something like Medusa.

        1. Yeah, but most of the time they are used for something generic, Beelzebub will just be the devil, or some generic demon, this correctly makes it the Lord of Flies, just like in manga. Also yes, plague of insects is a biblical plague, it’s usually locusts, but any swarm that devour or envelope a person/city will do.

          1. I mean…a plague of insects is just an outbreak. That’s not just a mythical thing, it’s a real phenomenon where visible swarms of insects ruin things for entire civilizations.

            It’s less destructive now than it was back in the day, but it’s still pretty bad in the wrong place.

          2. I meant biblical, as in it is a specific thing gods are known for inflicting on people as a punishment, you know, seas turning into blood, sky raining frogs, plague of insects devouring people and crops, and the deaths of all the first born children.

          3. If refer to “Lord of the Flies” then should watch the movie or read the “Battle Royale”. They called like the Lord of the Flies of the 21st century or similar to “Clockwork Oragne”.

          4. That’s a different story, I meant one of the greater demons “The Lord of Flies” Beelzebub, he’s one of the more famous ones, he got a manga adaptation even.

    2. “Exodus 8:20-32

      The Plague of Flies
      20 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. 21 If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.”

      I think countrymage refer to that

      1. Yeah, I know that’s probably what they were referencing.

        I’m just saying that its not close enough to the exact cases of Beelzebub for me to consider the monster to be a reference.

        After all, insect plagues happen in a bunch of mythologies because they happened often in reality enough for them to be attached to supernatural entities.

        If the fall of the Underground Country also featured a rain of fire, clouds that blotted out the Sun, and all that, then I would consider it a reference. What we see so far is just general wrath of god stuff.

  26. Thanks for the chapter!

    I hate to admit it, but Quasar’s plan is …….. really, incredibly smart. Instead of going for a brute strength Mother Monster, he goes for an AoE swarm that can act as a zombie plague if need be. Compared to the tree, phoenix and sea monster types, Quasar’s Mother Monster is creative af. Damn.

    1. I agree. Compared to any single potentially powerful target, go for something that’s specced for exactly what Mother Monsters should be specced for: spreading destruction.

      That’s him embracing his identity as “the weak” again, now that I think about it.

      1. Nonono.
        Something more dreadful than that.
        I’ll announce in a few weeks time.

        In the meanwhile, let’s enjoy WR and see how Haine can beat the flies. Bugs. Maggots. And all that comes after Beelzebub.

    1. If Haine killed Shiva right then and there, his relations with the other founders would become iffy. “If he could do that with the wind founder, what’s stopping him from doing that to us?” Remember, the audience don’t know the circumstances and are vulnerable to misunderstandings.

      1. Like Entropy said though, that would defeat the purpose of the war.

        What’s the point of being all-powerful and having absolute authority if you don’t care about anything beneath you?

          2. but they won’t unleash their full potential will being bond to the material world by their flesh :V

  33. Thanks for the chapter.

    Well then… things certainly took a dark turn here. I didn’t think he was so desperate that he was suicidal; what’s more, it’s to the point where he wants to share it with the whole world. -_-

    1. Yep I thought hey he’s using the reincarnation cheat to learn different powers, but he loses and turns into a crying kid wanting to take everything down as he’s throwing a tantrum

      2. They will always have that side each god has
        Hahahh
        Your expectation is lacking
        Preparation of knowing what consequences will happen
        Which is why their weakness is always open even how secretive the wind god is
