In Konosuba's world, it was already afternoon with the sun up high in the sky. During this period, the towns and cities in the kingdom are usually bustling with people. Citizens, adventurers, rchants, even monsters are in full activity, but strangely, everything was frozen.
At this mont, the familiar material world had all its usual colors flipped and a dead silence filled every corner of it.
Birds in the sky, people walking, monsters and adventurers fighting, everything was fixed in its place like a photo.
In this world, a castle in the forest was the only thing that still had movent and sound. Inside, there were few frozen people and two monsters. All of them had different expressions, like the headless knight, who was able to raise his sword and declare a battle or sothing while the crystal made lich had a bitter expression.
The other were three girls, who had an expression filled with sadness and pity, which was particularly annoying for soone.
However, inside this room, there were still only five people, who still have the ability to move normally. Despite that, since they started to look at an invisible thing in the air, all of them were pretty much frozen like the other statues.
[NEET Princess: Leo, can I have a word with you?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): *I REFUSE.GIF*]
"...Eh?" Kaguya, who was going all serious in trying to solve this, froze again in her place.
[NEET Princess: Why?! I didn't even say a thing?!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I don't care. When sothing really bad happens, you'll usually directly state it. Beating around the bush like this ans it either sothing annoying or you're just trying to troll ]
[NEET Princess:...]
Kaguya glared at the screen. Why can't she do one thing seriously in this world?! The resentnt and anger in this period manifested into a dark aura around her. If the ti was working properly, everyone would take a step away from her.
{Oi, oi, OI! For real? Did her resentnt manifest into a substance?! I thought this was just a stupid thing in ani?!} Kazuma was having an internal war inside while realizing that the previous world logic is so fragile with these magical beings and characters.
However, she just shrugged before he went back to his earlier activity… trash talking.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: What kind of shitty reasoning is this?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): A reasoning that you'll also use]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Of course, but that doesn't an that I'll not judge you for it, which is sothing you'll also do]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Touché]
[Big Sister Lion: You two are just hypocrites]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Thank you]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Thank you very much]
[Big Sister Lion:… you're not welco]
[The Strongest Man In The World: GUHAHAHAHAHA!!]
"GUHAHAHAHAHA!!" Whitebeard slapped his thigh while laughing at the conversation going on, even his previous anger almost vanished.
Misaka stared at Whitebeard, who was laughing loudly that the castle, or what was left from it, was trembling a little. She thought that the favorite thing for the old man is to lurk in the chat and laugh at these shenanigans, but… why did he type his laugh. This is an old question that Misaka decided to better forget about.
{Speaking of lurking...} Misaka turned her head and stared at the mbers list to see an online mber with no sense of presence.
Saitama icon was flashing with a conspicuous green point next to his userna in the chat.
[Bri-Bri: It seems almost everyone is in the chat room today]
Another ancient lurker is currently in the Chat Room. Saitama, who usually doesn't chat, just lurks in the chat silently unless soone ntions him, but even if they do, he'll only answer with 'oh' or 'that's 'interesting'.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that the Chat Room doesn't provide an option to set status, they'll never know if he's online or not without asking.
[Big Sister Lion: Oh, is the baldy here?]
[A Hero For Fun:.....… Yes]
[Big Sister Lion: Sorry, sorry, but it really hard to rember you're here because you don't talk much, also… your presence is kinda low too]
[A Hero For Fun:.....]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Everyone? Oh, you reminded . We have a harem king, I an a harem queen… Shouldn't she has the ability to change genders, or maybe I'm tripping]
[Big Sister Lion: Uhhhhhh...]
[Bri-Bri: She WHAT?!]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Ah, forget it! Fgo is always confusing]
[Bri-Bri: Don't try to avoid the question… And why am I typing here while you're next to ?!]
Misaka's eyebrow twitched while looking at the screen. She felt if this continues, it would beco a bad habit eventually.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Anyway, the new mber knows you very well, stupid angel]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I don't know what you're talking about, retarded human]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: OI! Don't try to pretend! Your glorious deeds and noble sacrifice has already been spread to the chat, they are so beautiful that I can't call them superficial… HAHAHAHA!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin):.....]
{Ah, I'm satisfied! No matter what happened after this, I don't have any regrets} Kazuma had a wide smile on his face. They have been under the tyranny of the Devil for far too long, it's ti for karma to beco a bitch again.
Looking at Kazuma's smile, the chat mbers had a weird look because that smile was creepy for so reason.
[NEET Princess: All of you shut up!! You! Tell everything you know!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): What? *Sigh* Fine, everything started from when I was a little kid. I always asked myself, why people are idiots? So, I went on a journey to control my hollow side and just to beco the Hokage, but to do so, I need to collect the 7 dragon ba-…]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Pffff...]
[NEET Princess: AHHHHH!!! Destiny! Fate! Keep it in this category, tell what you know about them!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Ewww, why? I don't like destiny. It's all sticky, intricate, irritating, and it gets everywhere]
[NEET Princess:...]
The dark aura around Kaguya was on the verge of exploding. She one step away from rage quitting this mission once and for all.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Thank you. Very cool, Mr. Starwalker. But I have to admit that the situation isn't easy]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Hm? Is it really important? I feel so negative energy from Kaguya's ssage for so reason, but maybe my senses are playing tricks on ]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Well, I don't know how to describe it, to be honest, but it's getting to my nerves and it involves the world's will. Despite that, I have to say that you got so accurate senses]
[Bri-Bri: Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath, and explain it slowly]
[NEET Princess: I'll rember this. Anyway, it started like this...]
anwhile, inside a convenience store in Kuoh town, a young angel wearing a pair of round glasses was looking at the shelves, but his focus was on a holographic screen.
{World's will, huh?} Putting his hand on his chin, Leo read the ssages as his mind was processing the current information.
"Sir..."
{Plot adjustnt? Butterfly effect nullifying? Or is it just a fine manipulation of events and causality?...} Narrowing his eyes, Leo couldn't help but co with a lot of possibilities.
There's a lot of abilities that could achieve the feat of correcting history and guiding events, even the basic mind manipulation could do it, but the situation here is too weird.
"Um, sir..."
{No, maybe all of them. The data is too little to even co with a proper theory… And this world's will attitude...} The more he read the ssages, the more Leo felt this situation was tricky before he typed into the chat.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I need all that you know, every piece of information. I'll use all my knowledge to analyze this, but I can't guarantee anything because this is a completely unknown area]
[Big Sister Lion: Oh, suddenly gone serious]
[Bri-Bri: A completely unknown area, huh]
{They only explained the situation briefly, I need sothing like an example, like a change in events. They also ntioned that the world's will contac-...} When Leo's brain was going at high speeds, a voice interrupted his train of thoughts.
"SIR!" Looking at the side, Leo saw the store clerk looking at him weirdly and pointing at his hand.
"Hm?" Tilting his head, Leo saw that the cereal box he was holding was squeezed until it burst open, no, it was torn to pieces under a huge force as its content fell on the ground.
Considering it's the weekend, and because he's a productive person, Leo wasn't going to do anything today, well, maybe watch the Earth rotate in peace while preparing a couple of plans.
However, The Devil had to be here to buy stuff for the higher authorities(Parents), only to get a chat notification. As for the 'accident', let's say that ntioning the dark history isn't helping to control the power.
Dropping the rest of the box from his hand and calmly waving the fragnts away, Leo nodded at the clerk and said " I'm paying for it"
"..." The clerk, who was about to say sothing, almost choked on his words {Why does this sound like it isn't his first ti?}
Ignoring the confused clerk, Leo looked at the screen again only for his expression to solidify.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Becoming serious, huh? *Sigh* Only if the new mbers, Gudako was also here, but alas, she's offline. I think she would love to hear about this. Don't you think so, Leo?]
"...." Expressionlessly, Leo raised his hand as green gleam flashed before a stack of money materialized " Just for you know, I might pay for this shelf… and the other behind it"
{So, you are experienced! And who the hell walks with stacks of money in their pockets!? No, why do you want to break stuff in the first place?! What a weirdo} The poor clerk, who didn't seem to notice the supernatural event for so reason, was completely confused and decided to leave while wondering is this the world of the rich?
Ignoring the clerk again, Leo didn't bother with this and continued checking the chat because, in a sense, he's filthy, filthy rich.
As long as humans' blinding greed laid an eye upon sothing, a sin will be committed. And as long as the snake of wisdom reaches it, a record will be made.
Using the 2nd Noble Phantasm, Leo is able to summon and materialize those records, which ans full access to the wealth with human attributes.
Although because of the restrictions, this noble phantasm is heavily limited, but materializing papers completely is simple, even throwing gold bars like a machine gun is also possible, especially because this world's rules are much looser than Type-Moon.
[NEET Princess: And these are that World's will words, 'he' said that 'he'll' contact us tomorrow, which I have no idea about what'll happen]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I see, so 'he' was the one, who pinned that picture, huh]
[Bri-Bri: Focus on the important stuff!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): This is important. It looked like 'he' was trolling you, which is true by the way, but it also played the role in throwing you off, and reducing your concentration and vigilance, so 'he' can control the conversation from the start]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Bruh! What do you have in your brain?!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): My brain is in other dinsions, which you can't comprehend]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Another step away from humanity, huh]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Your humanity is a disgrace to the godly sword in your hands!]
[NEET Princess: Enough! But now, you ntioned it…He' did that a couple of tis… Hold on, why couldn't I see it?! I'm not dumb as Kazuma!]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: OI!!!]
Leo's eyebrow twitched from this response, but the main reason was because, in the corner of his eye, he was able to see a blond ahoge from the shelf corner as a gaze was focusing on him.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Anyway, let's take a step back to the very beginning, and try to… Let's not talk about the occult for now, but just to make sure, you guys… know a thing or two about high energy physics… right?]
[Big Sister Lion:.....]
[Advocate of Gender Equality:...]
[A Hero For Fun:.....]
[Bri-Bri: *raise one hand slowly* For anyone wondering, it's also called Particle physics]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Ah, I see, so it was that. Hahaha, silly , but do you know what's funny?... THAT ISN'T HELPING!!]
[NEET Princess:.... Right]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin):... Fine, I'll try to simplify it]
[The Strongest Man In The World: Ahem, what are the particles… and physics?]
Staring at the screen with empty eyes, Leo finally realized that between the limited data, knowledge, and the pain in the soul that sting his brain, explaining this will be… challenging.
