The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 254
Episode 255: Morzan (2)
“Why are you so thankful…”
-When I lost my senses and was tormenting my children… it was you who gave them complete death.
“….”
-It’s not enough that you did what I should have done for you. Since you gave me extinction too… I can’t help but feel grateful.
indeed.
The guy released that poison out of anger at the distortion of his world.
He didn’t want his innocent children to suffer because of it.
I was the one who ended the suffering of those children.
Expressing gratitude for that.
“….”
-You don’t seem to have any clue?
but.
I couldn’t fully accept that gratitude.
“That’s right. you also. “Your children will also die in the end.”
-Hmm.
“The situation where I couldn’t die properly was the worst. So I decided to give them the gift of death. But that’s it.”
I crossed my arms.
I expressed my honest feelings.
“It just helped me escape from the worst and go to the lesser evil. “It’s not that great.”
In the case of [Chef Dasmur].
He brought someone who was destined to die to life through the power of cooking.
If it was the last prize he presented to the Pope.
The slaves suffering there might also be able to survive.
‘There’s still a long way to go.’
I had no choice but to solve it this way.
In the end, it is just a matter of choosing the lesser evil from the worst.
There is no way I would be satisfied with this.
-I think it was something that could not be helped….
“Is there anything that can’t be helped? “I just didn’t do it.”
-…is it. If you think so, then so be it.
Although I wasn’t very satisfied.
nevertheless.
-But it is also true that I am grateful.
The guy is still there.
It seemed like he was grateful to me.
“It’s something to be grateful for… I did it with a purpose too.”
-I know. However, it is my freedom to express gratitude.
In those words.
There was one thing that came to mind.
[Title – ‘The one who satisfied Morjan’]
[The effect of the title is determined through consultation with the person concerned.]
With that unknown title.
The effect.
The effect is determined by agreement.
I was wondering what kind of bullshit that was.
-So… I want to give you my own reward.
“…?”
its meaning.
I felt like I finally understood.
-Please accept it.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…. I thought part of
the huge lump of flesh
was turning blue.
Paaaaang!
‘Ugh…!?’
It runs towards my body and crashes into it.
A sudden body slam.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even avoid the attack.
Should I say that I am fortunate?
There was no impact from the huge pieces of flesh colliding.
Instead….
[The remains of the fallen god merge with divine power.]
As if melting.
A huge lump of flesh entering my body.
“What is this…!?”
A huge piece of flesh is entering my body.
No matter how I try to block it, I just feel like I’m swinging through the air.
I was looking at him in confusion.
A third of the missing flesh spoke.
-It’s unfortunate, but there’s not much I can give right now. so.
“so?”
-The power to disappear anyway and return to nothingness. Let me hand it to you.
“…!”
In those words.
I couldn’t help but open my mouth in shock.
No matter how much it has fallen.
A being with enough magical power to fill this gate.
This guy probably has the power to destroy even our unit in an instant.
If only I could get the power of that guy.
Of course that would be a great thing.
“I wonder if that will work…!”
This is a problem because there is no way such a thing would be possible.
‘Excessive buffs cause great damage to the owner.’
Just the buff from my cooking right now.
I have a hard time withstanding buffs that stack my cooking more than 4 levels.
No matter how much I have amazing stats.
It is said that because of this, the amount of buffs it can handle is the most advanced in the unit.
When I think of the strength left in this lump of flesh.
I wouldn’t be able to properly handle even 1/10th of that power…
or even 1/10,000th of it.
-Of course, I have to refine it in my own way.
Fortunately.
It seems he knew that too.
Soon,
the content of the title changed.
[The one who satisfied Morzan]
[Effect – The consumable stat ‘Morzan’ becomes a lower stat of divine power.]
“…?”
When I opened the status window
with those words,
[Stats]
[Spiritual Power – 8 (+1)]
[Morjan – 1]
and the Holy Power stat was (+1).
Below it, an unidentified new stat was located.
“What do you mean consumable stats?”
-One is a reward for ending the suffering of my children.
“what?”
Without even having time to read the effect.
Slurp….
the remaining flesh.
Half of the flesh melted again.
It was pierced towards my body.
[Holy Power – 8 (+2)]
[Morzan – 2]
Eventually.
A voice echoing in my mind.
-Another thing is gratitude for giving me a perfect death.
Spirituality is a stat that I still don’t know much about.
A new stat that has become a sub-stat.
The unknown stat value has become 2.
-The last one…
I was very nervous because I thought they were going to attack me again.
Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.
-If you promise me one thing, I will give it to you as gratitude.
“…promise?”
-You walked into my deepest thoughts… so you must have also read my memories contained in those thoughts.
“Yes… that’s right.”
As it is the memory of God.
It was more fragmentary than looking at Chef Dasmur’s memories, and there wasn’t much to be gained.
but.
What I saw was true.
-then. Did you also see the being that swallowed me?
“…I don’t know if I should say I saw that.”
The moment I tried to look at it properly,
I had no choice but to look away due to the pain that felt like my brain was going to explode.
-It is… a being that devours the world and eats gods.
God-eater.
-You relieved my old feelings… but even so, my resentment hasn’t gone away yet.
As the guy said.
The solution I came up with is just moving from the worst to the lesser evil.
The real resentment was incomplete and could not be resolved.
-So…
and.
No one welcomes that kind of incomplete ending.
-I want you to promise me that you will defeat that being someday.
“…!”
What kind of crazy talk is this?
This guy who was said to be a god was also defeated after a fierce fight.
There’s no way you can defeat something like that.
Although it’s a shameful story.
Even so, when I first saw his memories down there.
I even felt scared by that fact.
“It can’t be like that…”
-If it’s because you don’t know where he is, there’s no need to worry. It seems like you already have some connection with that being.
“what?”
Even though I said there was no way that could happen.
A guy who talks nonsense about locations and stuff.
-And…
I tried to refute that statement.
The guy wasn’t finished talking yet.
As a result, most of it entered my body.
The flesh, which was much smaller than before, wriggled.
The guy was squirming as if he was trying to concentrate on something.
He soon raises his voice again.
-The world beyond that door you opened. There are traces of his visit there too.
“…!”
In those words.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth.
“Of course that guy went there.”
-In every world… there is a god who created that world.
What the guy said.
It was the perfect answer to one of the questions I had.
‘There is no world without God.’
just.
-On the other hand… I don’t feel the presence of any other gods on earth.
“….”
Just as I expected.
“The God of Earth suffered the same fate as you.”
-Probably not. I’m sure it will.
Just like this guy.
It was eaten in the distant past.
-but.
“?”
-Although it is a very, very small amount, I can feel the remnants of the Godhead remaining. It seems that this Shinjin was in a better situation than me.
There was something more I wanted to ask about that.
The guy continued talking as if he had no time.
-As long as you are this much tied up with that being, you will one day encounter that being.
“…I want you to get rid of that guy. Regardless of whether it is impossible or possible.”
no.
In nine cases out of ten, it would be impossible.
“What happens if I make a promise and fail?”
-What. You misunderstand my request. I’m not asking you to keep that promise. I just ask you to promise me something.
…I wonder what the difference is.
They give you a penalty if you fail.
It seems there is no intention to do so.
I crossed my arms and thought.
‘If it’s really like this guy said, we’ll meet one day.’
at that time.
The monster that appeared out of nowhere, ate Morzan, and then disappeared.
I don’t think it will be particularly favorable to me.
Whether I want it or not.
There is a high probability that you will encounter it as a hostile relationship.
“…Then what?”
An enemy you will fight if you face it anyway.
I don’t even think I can win, though.
“I promise. “If I meet that guy someday… I will try my best to subdue him.”
-Thank you.
“Even if I fail, there’s no need to go and say something.”
-haha. Of course.
This much promise.
I guess you can do it.
The guy who heard me seemed strangely relieved.
I muttered in a low voice.
-If you are one day… you will be able to resolve my resentment.
“huh?”
-then… Only now can I finally disappear with peace of mind.
This guy.
The moment you say those words.
-I will try to trust you.
Tiring.
A familiar notification sound was heard.
[A being of overwhelmingly high rank has faith and faith in you!]
“…What?”
What is this?
That’s bullshit.
[Faith is a unilateral way from bottom to top.]
[However, in very rare cases, faith that works in the reverse direction also exists.]
[The faith of a high-ranking being gives greater divine power to the object of that faith.]
[Divine power. The stat increases by ‘3’.]
The very moment he declared that he would trust me.
Spiritual strength has increased.
That too.
‘3…?’
Huge rise.
Paaaang….
The last remaining piece of flesh also attempted to headbutt my body.
It started to be absorbed into my heart.
“Now wait…!”
A guy who is on the verge of completely disappearing into me.
I looked at that and quickly asked a question.
“You said you could feel the remnants… Are there any gods left on Earth!?”
Just by looking at him, he looks like he knows a lot.
I still had a lot of things I wanted to ask him.
-no. It is just a remnant…
“Then what is a remnant…!”
-Look at me now. A lost being that cannot even be called a god… That divinity is probably in the same condition as me.
I can’t believe he disappeared after saying all he had to say.
Can you leave it like that!
“You said you saw our world. “Can’t you find out the cause of the invasion!?”
-There are various causes of the world’s destruction.
This means.
It was the same thing that Vimanar said.
There are various causes of the world’s destruction, so the cause of the Earth is unknown.
I thought you were just talking nonsense, but…
-Among other things, what you are experiencing… is probably caused by countless gods who tried to deny destruction.
“…what!?”
-A godhead is a being born with a destiny that cannot help but love his or her creations. And that fate is sometimes like a curse. This can lead to tragedy.
I’m not sure exactly what that means.
Still, I got the hint.
‘The result of gods from other worlds… trying to deny destruction.’
and.
Because most of it has now entered my body.
This guy has less than 1/10th of it left.
“I was worried from the beginning…!”
-hmm?
“You… why!”
I am to the guy.
I decided to ask the last question.
“Are you treating me with respect from now on!?”
It’s really a nonsensical question.
This is something I’ve been slightly concerned about since a while ago.
‘This guy is a great god.’
He created heaven and earth.
A true god who created a new race.
People like me.
You will look like you are no more than an ant.
And yet.
The tone of voice of the guy who called me was extremely polite.
-Haha… Is that the last question?
Although it was a part that could have been skipped.
Should I just say…
Strangely enough, this part bothered me.
‘If it’s like Minjae said… my intuition may be more accurate than I thought.’
So the question asked.
and.
-Of course, even now that you have fallen, you seem smaller than an ant to me.
“….”
-If I want to eliminate you and your power on the earth… even if it is a country that has fallen into infinite decline, I will be able to erase it in an instant without any effort.
“I guess so. “Why are you so amazing?”
-But it would be good to know.
What can I say about his answer?
It was quite difficult for me to understand.
-Changes over time, past and future for beings like us.
“…?”
-Those things…don’t mean as much as you think.
The guy.
He seemed to find my question quite interesting.
-It’s a reason for respect haha.
“…?”
Even while it is being absorbed into my body.
He said with a pleasant smile.
-Would Morzan speak highly of someone who doesn’t deserve it?
As for me…
I don’t understand anything at all.
