“Mmm-hmm ?”

“Woof woof woof woof?”

A wolf that seemed to be a pet was being brushed by a girl with wolf ears in the midst of a vast meadow while she hummed.

Time seemed to be flowing slowly over the entire area as there was a gentle breeze blowing through the meadow and white clouds leisurely drifting across the blue sky, creating a tranquil scene.

“Yeah. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Moyasuke.”

“Woof!”

Even though the wolf was lying flat, the fact that it was a massive animal towering taller than 4 meters was the only thing that seemed out of the ordinary.

“Izumi. Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Hmm? Mol nee-san?”

At this point, a metallic door that was out of proportion to the meadow suddenly materialized, and a woman—the “Administrator”—wearing a rag-like hood cloak and concealing her face with a gas mask-like device emerged from the end of the door.

“What do you need me for?”

“Oh, I need you to search for something.”

“Searching?”

“Right. The truth is, I and that woman should be the ones searching for it, but as you know my search skills and she doesn’t seem to be interested in working with me. I mean, she’s not even going to look for something that she made herself…”

The girl with the wolf ears—Izumi inwardly thought that her ranting had started again, but she sank down into the wolf fur that she called Moyasuke, and while checking the feel of the fluffy fur, she listened to the “Administrator” continuing to complain on her own.

The “Administrator” eventually sighed as though she had finished venting her grievances, and Izumi then started to speak.

“What do you ultimately need from me then? And you didn’t request assistance from Oli nee-san?”

“Hmm? Oh, I’m sorry. I guess I was complaining too much. The request is summarized in the paper over here, and I have already asked the ‘Thousand Worlds’ to cooperate, and the result is the world described in the paper over here.”

The “Administrator” handed a piece of paper to Izumi, who then read it.

Although it seemed to be a standard sheet of high-quality paper, it was actually a type of information storage media that apparently held more information than could be fit on a single sheet of paper.

“Hmm… isn’t this bad? About this.”

“It’s bad. So I told that guy to work, but that guy wouldn’t listen to me.”

“That sounds very much like Ebri nee-san…”

Izumi, who had seen the information on the paper she received, internally broke out in a cold sweat to ascertain whether they shared a common understanding of the danger of the information contained in the paper.

“So, according to ‘Thousand Worlds’, it is certain that it is here in this world, but since the entire world is covered with a barrier to conceal it, we don’t have any further information. That’s why I’ve asked you to help me this time.”

“I see…”

Izumi mused over the information written on the paper while she listened to the “Administrator’s” remarks.

And one item in particular… she repeated over and over again in her mind was a sentence.

[In this world, it has been confirmed that souls are collected from many worlds and released under the pretext of purification. Therefore, there is a strong possibility that a God who possesses the power of reincarnation exists in this world as the supreme God.]

“Collecting souls…?”

“I’m glad you’re motivated.”

“Yeah. I will be going there. Perhaps what I am searching for is there.”

At the words of the “Administrator,” Izumi flashed a ferocious smile reminiscent of a mighty beast, and the giant wolf known as Moyasuke stood up.

“Then, please take care of it.”

“Yeah. Let’s go, Moyasuke.”

Izumi and Moyasuke then created another gate, the same one used by the “Administrator” to enter, and headed for the space beyond it, where a huge bridge-like structure was constructed.

?????

“Are you certain of this?”

“Y-Yes. Without a doubt.”

In a different place, in a room of a Multidimensional Trading Company Complex, Spine was nervously confronted by a woman with light blue hair and purple eyes dressed in a sensational costume.

I-It’s impossible! It’s true that I was told to contact the president directly, but it’s beyond crazy to expect the president’s first-class fissure to show up on my doorstep!?

Furthermore, he was extremely alarmed and even in dread for his life on the inside. Given his position and aptitude, it was only expected.

“And this is the compensation for this case?”

In the hand of the female president of the… Multidimensional Trading Company Complex, a single ribbon was held in her hand.

That ribbon was a form of divine treasure that was clearly the creation of the God in the eyes of anybody and was imbued with magic power that was terrifying from Spine’s perspective.

“A ribbon that gives the wearer powerful regenerative and healing powers? An egocentric person may declare themselves to be the son of God with just one of this.”

“Y-Yes, that’s right…”

Spine answered the president with apparent apprehension.

“We could, nevertheless, bring this stuff up for sale in the proper location or loan it out as equipment as required. The issue is that the work we were given would not be sufficient to offset the expense of the prior task. It is inevitable if that is the case. I’ll make a few accommodations here and there. Hisho.”

“You called?”

“Notify the Warding Squad. Limit the subject to low-level God class and set up a time-phased transition barrier around R05-I14-C01 world at a level that will not cause any discomfort. Also, notify the Observation Squad to investigate the identity of any deity that comes into contact with the time-phased transition barrier on R05-I14-C01, and contact the ‘God of Reincarnation’ via Lowizc.”

“Are you sure to limit her to low-level God?”

“The compensation would be disproportionate if we were dealing with intermediate-level Gods or above, and considering the level of our Warding Squad in the first place, I would have no choice but to emerge myself.”

“I understand. I will do so.”

With that, Hisho left the place.

“Spine.”

“Y-Yes!”

“You know this is about the ‘Tower’. You and Lowizc must be careful.”

“I-I understand!!”

Only Spine remained in the space when the president left as well.

“…”

Speaking of Spine, he was inwardly thinking.

I’m going to take a paid vacation and withdraw!? This time’s climax is too frightening, isn’t it?

Of course, that was not allowed to happen.

T/N:

I am not sure if the word “fissure” will be given an explanation or not in this series. It has a detailed explanation in the fourth series after all. But anyway, the word fissure in Japanese is not that difficult to grasp so I will just explain it here. It just means that God has the ability to split up their bodies and operate them independently so “fissure” is their split-up bodies.
