The Death Mage that doesn't want a fourth time

Side Chapter 11 Those squirming in other worlds (Earth, Origin)

"Therefore, I –"

"On this occasion –"

"GRRRRR!"

"Following the precedent –"

Zuruwarn, the god of space and creation, the god with the form of a grotesque, four-headed lion, was busy negotiating with a god of another world.

... Though these were supposed to be negotiations, Zuruwarn himself had started to wonder whether this really was negotiating at some point.

Could a repeated exchange of persuasive words, humble requests, trading offers, provocations and verbal abuse be called negotiating?

If the overall goal is to negotiate, then it could be called negotiating regardless of the way words are spoken in the process, I suppose? Zuruwarn thought.

The one he was negotiating with was the god of 'Earth,' the world in which Vandalieu of Lambda and the Bravers in Origin had lived their first lives.

Though the appearance of this god was grotesque even in Zuruwarn's eyes, it was also tremendous.

At a glance, it looked as if every single god, hero, divine servant, fairy, ghost and deified historical figure from every religion, every legend and every myth had been gathered in a single room.

And yet they were all a single god.

There were countless worlds, and there were numerous ways worlds and gods could come into existence.

The most common way was the pattern of a god existing in the beginning and creating a world. The world that Zuruwarn came from, 'Lambda,' fell under this category.

The second most common was a god from another world leading his followers and migrating to an already-existing world. The Demon King Guduranis had led the evil gods in an invasion on the world of Lambda; if he had emerged victorious, Lambda would have fallen under this category.

And the least common was the one that applied to 'Earth.'

Living organisms would spontaneously arise in an already-existing world, evolve, and then the god would be created by the religions of those organisms.

In a way, it was the purest form of religion.

"Judging from this –"

"We must also consider our position –"

"You are too noisy! Silence!"

"I want to request you to do something about it, just like this, I beg of you."

That was why the 'god of Earth' was troublesome and complicated in various ways.

It could be bluntly described as someone with a huge number of personalities, with all of those personalities constantly displaying themselves at once. And his divinity only grew as the people of Earth prayed to new gods.

And because there were so many of these personalities, this god rarely influenced what happened on the world's surface like the gods of Lambda did. It was in a state of gods and demons of different degrees of divinity being right next to each other. Their individual divinities interfered with each other, and in the end, it was only able to produce small miracles from time to time.

The gods who had lost their believers and whose legends and myths had faded away would slowly disappear as if melting or fuse with other gods, but it seemed that recently, the birth of all kinds of new gods was faster than the rate at which the older gods were disappearing.

Seeing that even the subjects of fearful urban legends and characters from anime, comic books and games were being added to the god, Zuruwarn wished he could share some of that creativity with the people of Lambda, but couldn't the god suppress its growth a little?
