I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Extra Chapter 82
4.2. True Story
Indeed, upon hearing those words, I was stunned.
Or rather, I couldn’t understand what was being said.
No, I could understand.
I understood that Amariaz referred to himself as a former god.
But I simply couldn’t accept that as the truth.
Seeing my bewildered expression, Amariaz chuckled softly.
“What do you think? Do you believe me?”
“No way.”
“Come on, try to believe me!”
“Well…”
Even if he told me to try, I… I couldn’t. It’s not something one could believe normally… But because it’s Amariaz saying it, I understand that not everything he says is a lie.
But still… Even so…
But if I don’t believe him, the conversation won’t progress. So, for now, I’ll listen to everything he has to say.
At least, let’s align our stories…
“Okay, okay, I believe you.”
“Your voice sounds absolutely not trust me, but… well, whatever.”
After showing a slightly exasperated expression and then laughing lightly, Amariaz crossed his arms.
Regardless of whether I believe him or not, it seems he’s willing to talk.
He created a “Pneumatic Sword” in his hand.
He transforms it into various blades and stabs them into the ground.
“You probably understand that most of what I told you before was a lie.”
“Yeah. Amariaz isn’t very good at lying.”
“Well…”
It seems they’re going to ignore my point and continue talking.
Even though it was the truth…
After clearing his throat, Amariaz creates “Air Compression” in his hand and also transforms it into a weapon.
“I am the god who created skills. Well, nobody remembers that, though.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“So, my purpose is to deal with the angels somehow. Probably that was the job Warzen asked for… In short, I think it’s a way to restore this world. Well, angels were born because of me, after all.”
“Yeah, yeah… Huh?”
“Well, it’s necessary to eliminate the things I created in that space somehow, right? Oni and devils are fine, but the things I made in that space need to be dealt with.”
“W-wait a minute?”
Huh?
Amariath created angels?
Hold on, I don’t understand what he’s saying at all.
“Angels…? Huh? What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s something nobody knows, and even if I told you, thanks to the ‘Ou-ryu Judgement’ nobody can remember it anyway. It’s just one of the ways I interfered with the world when I fell into darkness, creating a new existence.”
“So… Amariaz is the culprit…?”
“Well, you could say that, or you could say otherwise… I don’t even know what their purpose is. Anyway, do you believe it?”
“No, that’s impossible.”
“Well then, don’t get hung up on it!”
I mean, this story just sounds like nonsense…
I’d like to say you have quite an imagination.
Well, even if it’s a one-in-a-million chance, if this were true?
…In that case… It would make sense why Amariaz knows so much about skills and even knew about angels.
Because he created them, right?
So… wouldn’t it be okay for me to know how to deal with angels?
“What about that?”
“As for dealing with them… There isn’t one, for now!!”
“Why not?!”
N-no… If he knew, he would’ve told us from the start…
And having skills means this must be a story from over four hundred years ago, right?
…Ah.
Come to think of it, I don’t know anything about the evil gods.
But they’re bringing it up now…?
No, I have to ask now.
“Okay then, never mind. I’ve never heard about the evil gods, can you tell me?”
“Oh, right, that makes sense. You’re the son of the Spirit Turtle after all. It’d be impossible to teach you about the evil gods since you’re their child.”
“Huh, really?”
“Indeed.”
With a serious expression, Amariaz faced me and said so.
The light-hearted atmosphere vanished, and I understood he was giving a very serious answer.
It wasn’t about Amariaz himself, so there was credibility in that story.
Amariaz knows too much about various things, after all.
He deactivated and removed all the ‘pneumatic swords’ he had stuck into the ground.
Changing the form of the ‘compressed air’ he held in his hand, it took the form of a turtle.
And he showed it to me.
“You are the son of the Spirit Turtle. One of the four evil gods… is your parent.”
