I Made a Game Featuring Constellations Chapter 62

"Pah!"

The mory that I had glimpsed through the Apostle Safira’s recollections ca to an end.

Born into a noble High Elf family, rolling through the underground city, escaping it, defeating Arcilla , and reaching the final shocking conclusion. I could now fully understand why she beca an Apostle, and how the Dark Elf Gaizerus, who had died, was able to ascend to the Constellation.

‘An artificial god, in a different sense from the Research Director’s thods.’

This could be a story with a greater lingering impact than any of the episodes I’ve created for the ga.

If only the Constellation of [Theft] hadn’t consud the Ascended.

I lifted my head and looked across at the Apostle Safira, who was sitting opposite .

She t my gaze with wide, round eyes.

“Is it... the power to peer into mories? The authority?”

Her eyes were trembling.

“Did you co because of what I did?”

Thud.

She suddenly stood up, slamming her seat.

“Did I spread what Russ did, causing a faith that made him into a god? Did you co to find because of that taboo I broke?”

…I think she’s mistaken sothing.

After ‘that incident,’ Gaizerus, the Dark Elf, who had died.

It seems Safira had searched for ways to bring him back.

She tried nurous forbidden thods, magic, and rituals, but they all failed.

The final thod she chose was to spread Gaizerus’s deeds, turning him into a symbol of unity for the Elves, glorifying his balanced, impartial sense of justice, and deifying him to resurrect him as a god.

Surprisingly, her intentions worked, and Gaizerus succeeded in being resurrected as a god, but...

‘Of all sins, it had to be Lust.’

Not only was he consud by Lust, but he also beca a personification of desire, completely ignoring his connections to the surface world.

Considering that his only aningful relationship had been with Safira before the final battle, it was an ironic turn of events.

“I’ve already been punished! My attempts with the forbidden arts have resulted in the worst outco!”

Safira wailed.

It seed she had mistaken for an angel of judgnt co to scold her for her mistakes.

…It’s sad.

It wasn’t a misguided thod; she rely spread the deeds of the one she loved to bring him back to life, only for him to be seduced by strange forces, turning into a lust-driven being who couldn’t even rember himself.

“You’re misunderstanding sothing.”

“…Huh?”

“I didn’t co for that purpose.”

At first, I was simply focused on eradicating the sins and increasing my allies.

“I ca to bring him back.”

The long, drawn-out mories of the Elves, showing the past between him and her.

Having seen that, I couldn’t just leave it be.

“To restore him as the pure god of [Moderation] that he was when he was alive on the surface.”

Because a beautiful story of pure love is much better for selling to players than a aningless tale of lust.

And, stepping out of the Director’s perspective, I also don’t like what the Abyss creatures are doing.

***

The Apostle Safira had shouted at , but this wasn’t going to be an easy task.

To strip away the sins that consu a god.

When I thought about it, it was sothing a re, ordinary human like could never accomplish.

It’s about extracting or crushing the parasitic concept that dwells inside, sothing even those great divine beings cannot do.

Let alone purifying the Constellation of [Moderation], with whom I have no connection.

I lay on the bed, lost in thought.

[Sacrifice Who Overca Indolence] and the Demon God were able to overco their sins through the ga’s story, either by awakening their past or by overcoming their past to defeat their sins.

The Magitech Engineer resurrected his lost love through the ga and used that to defeat his sin.

…Now that I think about it, none of this was intentional.

It was all the result of chance.

My goal was to incorporate the Constellations into the ga’s story, but I never intended for their sins to be purified.

These were just byproducts of achieving their respective goals.

Now, the task of removing the sin that clings to the Constellation is sothing new.

“…Ugh.”

I pulled at my hair in frustration.

The Constellation of [Moderation], according to what the Constellation told , is one of the many player gods who played our ga.

So, they do play our ga.

I thought I could sohow use that, but…

I can’t think of anything.

How do I erase Lust?

How can I purify the Constellation of Moderation?

His lover isn’t dead.

In fact, he died to save her.

In a situation like that, like with the Magitech Engineer, I can’t just resurrect Safira through the ga and purify him.

The Constellation of Wisdom, unlike her, isn’t trapped sowhere, but she’s out there, enjoying her ti with other goddesses.

I can’t just take him out of his confinent or clear his mind to return him to his forr state.

The only option left would be sothing similar to what we did with [Sacrifice Who Overca Indolence], to make him rember his nobility by constructing mories of his past life.

The problem, though, is that Lust and Sloth are different sins.

Even if I craft a beautiful story about him in the ga, would that really erase his sin?

Ah, there’s that problem too.

This isn’t the ti to add a new story. We’re in the middle of a horror event to commorate the morial rite.

I even promised to hold the horror event on the official broadcast, so I can’t just release a new story.

At this rate, I’ll have to either make a new story specifically for the Constellation of Moderation or sohow use the horror event.

But no, there’s no way a horror event could erase Lust.

That’s impossible…

Wait a second.

“…Gu-gu-bup-gu.”

That’s right.

There’s a way.

His lover is alive?

Then couldn’t I create a tragedy, not a cody, using his living lover?

A woman he loved but now avoids.

What’s the best way to deal the most devastating blow to a man using that woman?

There are plenty of textbooks already written by the countless “experts” on Earth.

“Could he still be ruled by Lust after turning his woman into dust?”

Stealing the Constellation’s woman by all ans.

Until he’s sick of Lust.

Until he regains his forr nobility.

If I create a horror just for him, would the Lust still linger in him?

***

“I can’t believe I’m scared.”

“Then go ahead and break it open right now ♥!”

“Enter the horror event mode, achieve all the goals in 10 minutes, and when you clear it, I’ll do any position you want, no questions asked ♡!”

“…It’s a promise.”

The brown-skinned deity with a dazed expression picked up a terminal lying nearby.

“Mm~. You won’t clear it~ ♥. It took over an hour~ ♥.”

He chuckled at the goddess next to him who was babbling, then activated a program on the terminal.

I was the one who endured in that dark space.

Just a horror ga?

No matter how much it’s virtual reality, I wouldn’t be afraid of sothing like that.

Pah!

The power of dreams enveloped him.

He could have escaped the power by sheer will, but he silently accepted it.

Now that I think about it, I wasn’t alone when I endured in that darkness…

Who was it?

The mory is too blurry to see clearly.

Who was with , helping endure…?

It must have been so insignificant woman.

Just one woman, it doesn’t matter.

Inside the [Akashic Archive], he scrolled past multiple screens and stories that didn’t interest him.

At first, he entered the ga to try so lewd acts in the virtual reality but got bored of it and rarely logged in.

So, there were plenty of accumulated stories, but he skipped them all and entered the new horror mode that had been added.

Explanation…?

Ah, whatever.

Who needs explanations for horror?

He ignored the NPC who tried to explain the event, and before him, an endless darkness unfolded.

Just darkness?

Are they trying to scare a Dark Elf with darkness?

He sneered as he walked forward.

“This thing’s making salivate. You’re ridiculous, you perverted woman.”

Creek, creek.

“No, no! This is your magic at work!”

The familiar sll and sound.

It was his favorite.

“Pretending to be tough. But your water is already full below. Is that what you’re expecting?”

“I hate it… Russ, help…”

If it were the usual him, he would have imdiately jumped into the middle of the two lovers and enjoyed the chaos.

“...What’s this?”

But this ti, the sll didn’t feel appealing to him at all.

The sll and sound that used to excite him so much.

“What’s going on…!?”

Now, it only brought him irritation and disgust.
