Chapter 342 – The Worst Hypothesis
It was so loud that the air shook and I thought my ears would burst. A song? That wasn’t an attack?!
But right now, this situation is more important than that.
I have to deal with the situation.
~Once upon a ti, there was a legendary monster called the Titan God.
Its huge body was bigger than a mountain. With one step, the land would shake, and with one swing of the fist, the land would crack.
However, the Titan God was destroyed by the Holy Sword wielded by the Hero of Light~
Roughly, it should have been sothing like this.
That’s the story we learned from picture books and textbooks.
Gouda was defeated by my father and died.
Even Tre’ainar recognized this.
Even if he had managed to survive my father’s sword, Gouda was still destined to die.
Then, by any chance, will my father and Gouda have a rematch?
“Ah~~~…… What are you bumming about for, c’mooooon, applaud my beautiful vooooooooooooice!
“”””Eeehh!??””””
“I’m going crazy right now, but that’s my thing! Get it, my personality! That’s rock! Oooooh, long live the Great Demon King! Death to Hiro and humaaaanityyyyyyyy!”
No, he’s gone completely insane.
Should we run for it?
“G, General Gouda, I’m Larou’iph, a mber of the Amazoness Unit of the Norja Army! Um…… I heard that you were engaged in a battle with the heroes…”
“Huhn? You bet! I fought that dumb sonuvabitch, and he blew to smithereens with his ridiculous power!”
“S…… smithereens.”
“But I’ve got ‘Super Magic Recovery’! In other words, no matter how wrecked my body is, as long as I stay alive for even a few seconds…… No, this is already way past the safe margin for an explosion…… ah~~~, who cares about the details!”
“Huh!?”
It felt like I was about to be blown away by the gust of wind generated by a single yell.
And “Super Magic Recovery”? Oh, I’m pretty sure that’s……
『Indeed, child, He possesses the sa constitution as Machio of Cacretale…….』
Yes, when I fought Mr. Machio in the Cacretale tournant, I heard sothing like that.
――Structure of the human body… applying a load to the body through strength training, and so on, results in a temporary decline due to damage to muscle fiber damage and fatigue accumulation, but by taking appropriate rest, it leads to greater muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy than before due to the recoil of recovery… tis called it Super Recovery. However, there are people in the world with a unique constitution… those who intentionally control and activate cells through the body without the need for rest, regenerate and restore the body and bones at super-speed, and gain more power than before. And tis not just about training. If you fracture, it will regenerate into a stronger and more resilient bone than before, and if you take damage in battle, it will make your body more resilient.
Does this an that Gouda managed to survive my father’s attack thanks to that ability?
Moreover, being torn apart has made him even stronger?
“Well, who has ti to waste explaining stuff to you morons! Don’t listen to my explanations or stories! If you want to listen, listen to the sooooooong! From ancient tis to modern tis, rock and roll! Feel it, picture it, Koraaaaa!”
But, even though he got stronger, the balance between his body, mind, and magic was already ssed up.
It’s like he had exceeded his recovery tolerance, and was going out of control……
“Woooooooooow, let’s go out with a huge bang! But first, I’m gonna smash you guys to biiiiiits!!!”
“O, oh no! Everyone, scatter!”
Gouda was screaming, eyes drooling, and blood vessels all over his body that looked like they were on the verge of bursting as he pounced on us.
“Ugooouuuaaaahh! Beatles Impaaaaaaaaact!!!”
He jumped at us with his huge, sharp horns.
So fast! But it’s too linear…… it can be dodg―――
“”””Eeehh!??””””
We all jumped back on the spot to get so distance.
The next mont, the diving Gouda’s horn hit the ground, and with a powerful explosion, it made a huge hole in the ground.
“Whoa!?”
“uh…….”
“What…… how …….”
“Such destructive force!”
“Wow~Wow~……”
It’s too big, and too deep.
If you get hit head-on by sothing like that……
“Gahahahaha, it’s no use running anywhere! The Alliance morons will be here soon, and they ain’t got a clue anyway! I’ll set off a huge fireworks show when they get here!! Gahaha, who knows what’ll happen, I don’t…… I feel so incredibly hot and ready to burst, I can’t even tell what’s going on with ! The way it’s going, not just this city, the whole region is gonna eat this explosion!”
You’ve got to be kidding .
I an, Norja, Hakuki, and now Gouda!
“Hey hey, it’s not just a fight… an explosion…”
“Big brother!”
“Brother……. I think we should get out of here…….”
“Lord Gouda……”
“Say now, he speaks of an impending explosion, should we not flee for the ti being? The underground facility might withstand such a blast…….”
Run away?
The Chieftain says it casually, but is that the best thing to do?
But what will happen if I leave things like this?
If the underground can withstand this guy’s explosion, does it matter?
No, in the first place, the Allied Forces… Shiznautmy here……
『…… Historically…… after Gouda’s army retreated, Shiznautmy was retaken by the humans…… that is just the flow. There is no record of the destruction of the Shiznautmy site due to a large explosion or of any damage being caused to the Allied Forces……』
“Eh!??.”
At that ti, Tre’ainar told the history again as I was perplexed.
In other words, this situation was unexpected even for Tre’ainar……
‘Hey, hey, you don’t think …… history has changed?”
No way, could it be because of all the things I’ve done in this world?
『No…… I do not believe so.』
「Tre’ainar?」
『History has not changed…… the fact that you existed behind the scenes of history is also the truth of history…… in other words, this is also correct history.』
「No, but Gouda is still alive…… No… you don’t think… he doesn’t die like this, and will continue to survive in the future by pretending to be dead like Paripi……」
Tre’ainar didn’t even know that Paripi was alive.
Then, if the sa goes for Gouda……
『No, this one is not so dexterous…… and most of all, as he says, his body…… tis exceeded the tolerance of Super Magic Recovery, the enormous amount of magic power is out of control, the circuits in his body are ruined, and will explode at any mont…… this one will likely perish from it……』
“No, no, but…… if that’s how the explosion happens…… what about my father, the Allied Forces… Shiznautmy?’
If the course of history was correct, that Gouda dies in a huge explosion, then what happens to my Father and the Allied forces because of the explosion?
『The fact that there was no damage…… even after that explosion… ans that ‘soone’ must have intervened in the situation sohow.』
“Huh!?”
Soone intervened?
In this case, who was……
“Oh…… it’s !??
In other words, the fact that my father and the others didn’t suffer any damage at the hands of Gouda, who was still alive like this, ans that I stopped the explosion behind the scenes of history.
“Th, that stupid old man! Paripi was alive, Gouda is like this, Hakuki is like that, Jamdi’el, Norja and La’iphant…… I an, the Seven Heroes were supposed to rival the Six Supremacy. Why didn’t they take down at least one!!”
“B, Big brother, what’s wrong?”
“Brother.?”
The unexpected truth.
“What’s more, you couldn’t even stop the final blow of a Six Supremacy…… my father …… ha…… Hmm?”
『Huh!? Child, for now, do not think about anything else, concentrate on what lies before you!』
“Huh? Well, wait…… here…… if it’s the course of history that I’m going to do sothing here…… then.”
『Child!』
At that mont, I suddenly wondered.
Just as Tre’ainar was flustered, saying, “Don’t think about it.” No, wait. Wait?
What will happen if I just don’t do anything unnecessary and leave Gouda to explode?
『Child! Look ahead! Child!』
Would my father die? No, even if he hadn’t died, it would have done a lot of damage to the Allied forces.
If that had happened, how would the war have turned out?
How would the war situation between the Allied Forces of Humanity and the Demon King Army have changed?
Wouldn’t the Demon King Army have an overwhelming advantage?
No, wait. If we go back to the beginning…… what would have happened if I hadn’t saved Espie from the failed assassination of Gouda?
I hate to think about it, but Espie would have died. In other words, one of the Seven Heroes would have fallen. It would have been a major loss of strength and morale for humanity.
What about Norja?
What about Aonii and the others?
『Child! Do not think foolish thoughts! Concentrate! Look ahead!』
“Big brother, what are you doing!? You’re staring blankly!”
“Brother!?”
When I ca to this era, I tried not to do too many unnecessary things.
That’s why I didn’t willingly dare to fight the Demon King Army.
But as it turned out, that was totally impossible.
Because I saved Espie. As a result, the Demon King Army lost the chance to defeat one of the Seven Heroes and reduce their strength.
I fought Norja. As a result, Ghenkan and other captive n were released. A number of Allied soldiers were among those n.
What about Aonii? A Champion of the Demon King Army with the title of Great Hundred whatever. Without a doubt, he must have been a great force in the Demon King Army. But he died to protect .
What would have happened if I hadn’t done anything?
Espi would be dead.
Norja would not have retreated and would have inflicted damage on the Allied forces and humanity.
Aonii would be alive and well, and as a soldier in the Demon King Army, he would be a threat to humanity.
And what about Gouda here?
『Child! Pay it no mind!』
What would have happened if I hadn’t done anything about Gouda’s explosion?
Wouldn’t the Demon King Army have an overwhelming advantage in the war?
「Because I ca to this era, because I did unnecessary things…… …… it’s all on !」
『Child! Do you hear my voice?! Child!』
If the war had progressed with the overwhelming advantage of the Demon King Army…… if I hadn’t done anything unnecessary… what would have happened?
“Oh…….”
『Drat…… this dullard …….』
At that mont, my mind and heart rembered the various events that had happened since that day when I t Tre’ainar.
He was strict, scary, but interesting, fun, strong, reliable, respectable, grateful…… I’m grateful to have t him…… I’m grateful… so grateful……
I can’t thank him enough…… and now I’ve just co up with a ridiculous hypothesis. No, it’s not a hypothesis anymore.
If I hadn’t done anything unnecessary…… the Demon King Army would have defeated humanity…… Tre’ainar wouldn’t have died, right?
『Do not be conceited…… you dullard …….』
「…… Tre’ainar…… I……」
『The Battle with Norja…… What did I say to you who were hesitant to save the Slayer due to your concern over the impact of the battle on history?』
