"Jack, you're not even here."
Rorschach actually gave a simple explanation to the Evil God's will.
His explanation was plain and simple, yet it seemed to be the truth.
"Has he gone insane? Or has he lost all hope? "
From an outsider's perspective, it would be ridiculous to say that the Evil God he was facing wasn't even here. No matter how one looked at it, it would seem like a pitiful creature that had been driven insane by cruel reality.
But if one could see Rorschach's eyes, they probably wouldn't think such a thing.
Jack's clear eyes were filled with reason. His eyes were filled with the silver light of magic. However, there was only emptiness in his eyes.
That's right, emptiness. Jack's gaze directly passed through the Evil God in front of him and saw the scenery behind him as if he wasn't even here.
"You say you're here, and you're here? What a cancer of idealism. This isn't scientific at all … nor is it magic! You're so dishonest. This is a lie! "
Evil Gods could exist in this world with their will alone? Could they distort reality? Rorschach denied all of this. He even treated it as a hilarious lie.
"Bzzt … You … are … making me … insane. Eh? "
Jack's originally disdainful words suddenly stopped as he discovered to his astonishment that his body had actually become transparent.
"You …"
Jack's remaining words were meaningless. His final projection vanished into the emptiness.
The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, his vision had returned to Saul's incarnation in the city he was in.
"Haha, how interesting. You actually have such an ability."
But it was likely that he wouldn't find this interesting for a while. The True Gods were all heading out in groups. Eliminating this Evil God's Seed was more important than anything else.
Meanwhile, Jack had used words to expel an Evil God. Even though it was an immature new Evil God, this was already inconceivable to the point of being incomprehensible.
Only Rorschach himself knew just how much he had prepared for this moment.
"Using an Evil God's incarnation as a target to train in the ability to expel illusions through 'honesty'. I thought I was crazy when I trained in this before, but it would seem that I underestimated this chaotic world. Even staying in a city might make me an Evil God's target."
In Rorschach's opinion, the ability to expel clones and projections seemed cool but was actually useless.
First of all, the chances of encountering them were very low. Secondly, this ability depended on the strength of the opponent. Existences that could project and transform themselves were all God-tier existences. A rookie like Rorschach wouldn't be able to successfully expel them in a short time.
Even if the expulsion was successful … for such a big shot, if another incarnation were to descend or summon a natural disaster, Rorschach would be dead for sure.
However, both Lori and Rosa had insisted that Rorschach use this method to train his "Honesty" talent. Now that Rorschach thought about it, it was as if Rorschach was certain that he would encounter such a troublesome opponent in the future. They had forcefully increased his chances of survival.
"… They probably didn't expect that Jack would become an Evil God here. But, if I can meet such an opponent here, I need to be more resolute in my future."
Rorschach hypothesized that if Rorschach didn't have a targeted ability, Jack would likely have been reduced to dust by now.
After all, even if Jack was a newly born Evil God, an Evil God would still be an Evil God. It would be quite easy for Jack to crush a level 3 job class without any magic armor. Rorschach definitely didn't have any methods to deal any actual damage to Jack.
However, now wasn't the time for hypothesizing. The scenery around him was changing, indicating that his God Equipment had already lost its effects.
Even though Rorschach had clearly just seen this familiar forest scene before, he felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
Pay!
When the space around him stabilized, Rorschach saw a blinding silver light … which then stopped right in front of him.
"Rorschach?"
Su Nanna's voice sounded from behind him. Rorschach only just realized that he had almost been killed by one of his own when he saw the silver needle being pulled back by Su Nanna.
However, Rorschach had attacked him right after he came out, and Rorschach's doubtful tone …
"You really didn't think that I would win?"
"… That's because Lori just contacted us. Jack has already transformed into an Evil God. Evil God, you know …"
[Cough, cough. Big Bro, if you have time to chat, can you do something serious first? We're still on the battlefield.]
"… You only know how to call me 'Big Bro' at times like this."
Rorschach felt even more helpless. Just what was going on? Why didn't anyone think highly of him? Lori clearly knew that he had trained in the ability to fight against Evil Gods.
However, he had reestablished a connection with the God of Faith right after he came out, which meant that the God of Faith's obstruction had been removed. This also meant that this battle in front of him was over. This also meant that …
"We won?"
"… How the hell would we win? We're about to lose our home. Who cares about winning or losing?"
Su Nanna's angry words made Rorschach notice the current situation.
The dimensional crack above his head was still there. He could faintly hear the sound of thunder and fire fighting. However, the dimensional crack and the power of Chaos leaking out from it were beginning to shrink.
However, this didn't mean that everything was over. A gigantic dimensional crack that was several times larger than the one before was expanding in the direction of Saul. Evil Gods' wills were existential abilities that allowed them to simultaneously fight against multiple battlefields.
Their nearly limitless power and energy reserves made it so that the strength of their incarnations and projections would often depend on the strength of the dimensional barrier in the area where they were projected.
Meanwhile, the situation on Rorschach's side of the battlefield didn't seem to be bad.
Due to the two Judge Gods joining the battle, the situation on the dimensional crack was improving. Fewer and fewer Evil God servants were leaking out from the dimensional crack.
Rorschach's damaged magical armors had been temporarily piled up into a defensive barrier in front of him.
Most of the descenders were already recovering from their fatigue from the continuous battles. Only the giant panda was still valiantly charging at the front. Above her head was a gorilla knight who was shouting loudly … Well, as long as you're happy, gorilla leader.
Meanwhile, on the other side, May Rain was currently using her cannons to clean up the Evil God servants under the protection of the Beast Combination Barrier and the Game Church's kitchen knife squad. Currently, it seemed like the battle line could still be maintained. However, not far away, the legendary assassin Flower Boots, who was currently bandaging his wounds, saw Rorschach looking at him and rubbed his hands together while smiling awkwardly … Rorschach silently made a note in his little notebook that this bastard was the one who ambushed him.
But now, the original hostile situation had become meaningless. The other side of the Battle of the Gods was probably finished. The only thing worth rejoicing over was that there weren't any direct descendants of the Silver Elf War God here. Otherwise, it would have been a battle to the death.
Su Nanna looked worriedly at Saul in the distance. Rorschach, on the other hand, chuckled.
"It seems that an outsider like me knows more about the Evil Gods than you do. Don't worry, the Gods definitely won't allow Saul to fall. The Evil Gods will only be able to cause a huge ruckus in the end. It's just that we won't be able to participate in the upcoming battle. Our battle has already ended. "
Rorschach secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the dimensional crack closing in the sky above the forest and Rosa walking out with a smile.
