The Death Mage that doesn't want a fourth time

Side Chapter 23 Reincarnated individuals here and there, god of thunderclouds

Rodcorte, the god of reincarnation, realized that Vandalieu had begun to take full-scale actions in the region enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range.

Due to the barrier put up by Mububujenge, Zanalpadna and the other gods, Rodcorte and those who had ascended from being human souls to familiar spirits through his power could not see the records of the humans, Dwarves and Elves living south of the wetlands in real-time.

But through the records from the humans and members of other races who had been killed by Bugitas, Gargya and the other usurpers out of anger or amusement, Rodcorte had become aware that a large-scale conflict had occurred in the nations south of the wetlands.

And after that, the humans, Dwarves and Elves of the Zanalpadna kingdom, the High Kobold kingdom, the High Goblin kingdom and finally, just a few days ago, the Noble Orc empire, had begun disappearing from Rodcorte's circle of transmigration system.

It was possible for souls in Rodcorte's circle of transmigration system to be moved to Vida's system through Vida's races that originated from monsters converting humans and other races into members of their own race.

But the difficulty of the ritual required for this differed between the races, and it was almost impossible to convert large numbers of humans into members of Vida's races within a short period of time.

The only other explanation was Vandalieu, who could guide souls to Vida's circle of transmigration system without any need for a ritual.

However, this had not been confirmed. The humans, Dwarves and Elves of the nations south of the marshlands were not combatants, so once they had stopped being killed by Bugitas and his subordinates, no new information had come in.

Thus, Shimada Izumi and Machida Aran had needed to put the limited evidence together to draw the conclusion that Vandalieu had intervened in the war among the nations south of the marshlands, resulting in a victory within a short period of time, and the souls of the humans were being guided as a result of the processes of colonization and post-war recovery.

But they also guessed that in order to keep up these political measures, Vandalieu would have to keep pouring power into the southern region of the continent for a while... for the next few years or perhaps over a decade.

This conjecture had been made based on the history of wars and colonial policies on Earth and in Origin.

And the deceased reincarnated individuals from Origin had spent almost the entirety of their time limit in thought, taking this conjecture into account as well. Pressed by the thought that Vandalieu would be focused on the inside of the Boundary Mountain Range for the next few years to a decade if they were to reincarnate now, they had each come to their own decisions.

The 'Oracle' Endou Kouya chose not to be reincarnated, but to instead become Rodcorte's familiar spirit like the 'Inspector' Shimada Izumi and the 'Calculation' Machida Aran.

This was because his ability in combat only met minimum standards, and although his Oracle ability had been almost completely comprehensive in Origin, he thought that in the world of Lambda where monsters and Vida's races that were not a part of Rodcorte's circle of transmigration system existed, it wouldn't even be of use as a reference.

With that being the case, he had decided that he could contribute more by not being reincarnated and supporting his allies from here rather than try to train himself in battle when he wasn't suited for it, and he had also decided that this was what was best for him as well.

The 'Mage Masher' Minami Asagi, the 'Ifrit' Akaki Shouko and the 'Clairvoyance' Tendou Tatsuya had chosen to be reincarnated in adult bodies.

Asagi and Shouko had chosen this option to stop Vandalieu, while Tendou had chosen this option so that he could tell Vandalieu that he had no intentions of showing hostility towards him.
