I Made a Game Featuring Constellations Chapter 45

“Again with the back?”

I don’t know why the bad guys always try to make into a doughnut every ti they see . Like, do I have sothing sared on my back?

I can’t understand why they’re so obsessed with my back.

I boldly stomped on the back of the guy who dared to target .

“Ugh! I’m sure I saw it disappear!”

The girl, or rather, the dark man with the sa appearance as her, exploded in frustration, clearly not understanding what was happening.

It wasn’t just any girl’s appearance. Inside, it was the malicious personality of the lab director.

“I told you, I don’t die.”

To think he had been hiding inside a god for such a long ti, trying to devour its divinity. Truly impressive perseverance.

If that obsession had been used for good, he could have beco a god through proper ans, just like our investors did. But...

“Damn it! Let go, you insect! How dare you, an insect from another realm, interfere with ?”

That filthy creature now only had ugly desires left.

The nobility I had seen in the constellations was nowhere to be found in him.

If we had t outside, I wouldn’t have stood a chance against him.

He had patiently waited through eons, hiding and scheming until he could steal the divinity from a god.

There was no way I could fight him in this form.

But...

“Stop calling an insect.”

Things were different now.

“Who’s the insect, crawling on the floor like a bug?”

Crash!

Unlike during the Abyssal event, the powers of dreams were still intact, and I couldn’t die, nor could I feel pain.

Even though I had been ambushed, it felt like I had just died from a boss's instant-death attack in a ga, only to return to the boss fight.

Still, it was hard to contain the boiling anger inside .

I had witnessed the full narrative of the Wisdom God through the form of a dream.

Her pain, her sorrow, her fear, I had seen it all up close.

And now, the one responsible for it all was standing right in front of .

This monster, who had stolen an innocent girl’s life and tornted her for centuries with endless gaslighting to satisfy its own desires.

“...Princess.”

“...Yes?”

She jumped in surprise at the sound of my voice.

“Tell what you want. I can tear this guy apart right now. Or, I could put him in my ga and make him suffer endless death as a boss forever.”

“...!”

For her, this was likely the greatest enemy of her life.

If I were her, what would I do?

Would I have been able to contain my rage and not charge at him imdiately?

But she still trembled.

Even after I had subdued him, she still feared the grasp of that monster.

Ah, this guy really is hopeless.

A weekly boss probably isn’t enough for him.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was about to stomp on his head when it happened.

“How dare...!”

His aura shifted, and the holy storm around him began to change.

“How dare these insects discuss how I should be treated! How dare you!”

Roar!

A holy storm began to swirl around him.

I was pushed back by the force of it.

“You should just die quietly.”

Clank, clank!

“What... What is this!”

My imaginative restraints caught him.

“Damn it!”

He struggled to break free.

I conjured more restraints.

The chains that once bound a god who brought fire to mankind.

The silk thread that had even restrained the Wolf King, who devoured gods.

The shackles that had caused so many n to weep.

Countless chains covered him.

“Grah!”

The chains that had tornted the fragile girl for centuries, I now manifested them to bind him.

With the chains covering him, I could no longer see anything except his head. His struggles stopped after a long ti of resisting.

“Anyone from this continent cannot avoid my powers. With all the knowledge of this continent at my disposal, other gods’ powers cannot affect .”

Is he trying to make excuses after failing?

“So you’re an envoy of an otherworldly god. You’re not just so otherworldly insect.”

“What are you talking about? You’re pathetic.”

I reached for the core of his divinity.

I would collapse his core.

He would lose his divinity and beco a powerless soul.

Just like that creature from the Abyss, I would reduce him to nothing.

The mont I touched his core,

Boom!

“Crisis is opportunity! If I devour you, I’ll beco the undisputed strongest in the current continent!”

Holy power surged around his core.

A shockwave more intense than his earlier struggles spread.

His core began to collapse.

Crack!

Imdiately, all the restraints around him turned to dust and vanished.

“Hahaha!”

The freed creature flew up.

“This...?”

Did he just destroy all my powers...?

“Holy power gone wild, prepared for annihilation. The collapse of the core ans the god’s very existence is in danger.”

The creature with the sa face as the Wisdom Goddess grinned maliciously.

“But it also gives a temporary surge of power. Right now, I have enough power to kill you right here!”

Roar!

A storm of holy power, with an unimaginable density, surged toward .

“The core will collapse, but I don’t care. Before that, I’ll devour you!”

I would restore my divinity through otherworldly powers and bring the continent to its knees!

This is the power of humanity!

“Hahaha!”

As the restraints shattered and the creature was freed, the Wisdom Goddess was frozen in fear.

It seed unlikely that she would be able to help.

She might even be caught up in this battle and endanger herself.

The battlefield had to change.

I leapt towards the creature.

Boom!

We crashed into a building wall, breaking through it and colliding with the next one.

‘I need to get higher.’

I had to increase the distance between and her, without him noticing.

Higher, further.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

I held onto him, demolishing building after building as I ascended.

“Aaaah!”

Then, I slamd him into a massive skyscraper at the center of the city.

Boom!

As the smoke cleared, I heard,

“Hahaha! Thought you were going to die, huh, insect?”

The creature, wrapped in holy light, erged.

It seed to be using its core to fuel its power.

Just seeing it was enough to overwhelm with a sense of oppressive power.

Crack, crack.

It twisted its neck.

“...Now I understand.”

Pew!

A sudden beam of light shot from it, striking my right arm and burning it away with no trace left.

“Now I understand how to use this power.”

Its laughter grew darker.

My severed arm began to regenerate.

After all, I can’t die.

As long as I can endure until its power runs out, it will destroy itself.

I could just run away and stall, but...

Maybe this will work...

“Constellation, I have one favor to ask.”

[The Dreamteller wonders why you insist on using such a dangerous, complicated thod.]

“I don’t like the simple and easy outcos.”

I glanced at her, knowing that if anyone could do this, it would be her.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions echoed from the high place.

The fierce battle continued, lighting up the dark night sky.

The girl clenched her fists.

The prince was fighting.

Now, even though he had lost his divinity, he was fighting to protect her—soone who no longer had any worth.

She knew what the lab director was doing.

Taking the divinity from a god and using the holy power to corrupt even the gods—this was the most terrible of powers, used in the past by gods to save the continent from destruction.

Even though this was a dream world, the prince could not stop the lab director’s deadly moves.

At this rate, the prince would beco the lab director’s prey.

“No...”

Why does everyone who gets involved with always end up with such a terrible fate?

I want to stop.

I want to escape this dreadful nightmare.

I want to erase monsters like that and live happily for a long ti.

But...

The girl looked down at her hands.

All her power was gone.

The wisdom that had been forcibly given to her was stolen away.

She was now a hollow shell of a god, a re girl once again.

What could I possibly do?

Being the girl with extre intelligence, she knew.

Right now, she couldn’t do anything.

She would only be a hindrance to the prince’s actions...

“Why...!”

Clank!

The girl cried out, slamming her hands on the ground.

Then,

-Are you really going to give up now?

!!!!

A voice rang out.

The girl slowly lifted her head in shock.

“…Muria-17-06?”

It was like a scene from a dream.

The girl who had long since died, Muria-17-06, smiled at her from the beyond.

-It’s the prince. The prince you’ve been waiting for.

“...But I’m powerless. There’s nothing I can do.”

She knew.

If she didn’t help now, the prince would die.

But there was nothing she could do.

-Co on, sis! You’re not helpless!

“...What?”

-It’s already inside you.

The girl touched her chest, where the finger of Muria-25-03 was pointing.

“It’s already inside ...?”

The wind howled.

A mysterious energy surrounded her, swirling in.

Vast knowledge.

Outstanding intelligence.

A completed narrative.

Everything was in place.

The last thing needed was the girl’s will.

The final piece of the puzzle entered her.

The power surged within her.

[Lustful Wisdom unlocks the shackles.]

-That’s it. I knew you could do it, sis!

-Don’t forget to tell us about the prince’s first night! Promise you’ll tell us later!

With a warm smile, the fading images of her friends slowly vanished.

“...Okay.”

She smiled through her tear-streaked face.

“I’ll tell you everything. About our prince.”

Now it’s ti to end it all.

To punish the monster who’s been tornting the prince and us.

And then, we’ll go see the “happily ever after” ending.

[Only one person will receive the release from Lustful Wisdom.]

Just a little longer, Prince.

I’m coming now.
