“…….”
Hmm….
This isn’t as fun as I thought it would be.
The Spirit World.
I thought it would be fun to experience it firsthand.
No, it is sowhat fun.
Being a spirit of horror and living this way is quite entertaining.
But how should I put it.
It’s different.
It’s fun but… this isn’t what I wanted.
“Do we really need all these restrictions?”
“Pardon?”
The spirits beside question my muttering.
Ah… what were their nas again?
It’s not that I can’t rember, but rather, do I really need to know?
I’m bored.
Whoosh─
The avatar’s and main body’s powers connect.
In that mont, the shockwave causes all nearby spirits to vanish.
Did everyone in the ravine disappear?
They all seed to be doing sothing… well, not my problem.
Yeah, it’s better if I just create things myself.
This isn’t as fun as I expected.
[ This world is boring. It wouldn’t matter if we erased it, right? ]
I ask Cthugha, who’s watching this place from outside with my main body.
Actually, there’s no real need to erase it.
Even if it’s boring, this world existed originally and I didn’t create it.
But how should I put it.
I just feel like erasing it.
[ O-Of course. Agreed. ]
Got Cthugha’s permission too.
Well, Cthugha is a being that can create universes at will anyway.
Even though it’s a fragnt that broke off from itself, it probably has no attachnt or interest.
Or maybe it agreed because it fears , even if it does care?
I’m not sure about that.
[ Sorry. For my whim. ]
[ No, I don’t really mind. ]
[ Um, isn’t it a bit much to eliminate all the spirits?! Wouldn’t it be better to just quietly leave…. ]
Though Idra was sowhat against it, I promised to create a new spirit world in exchange.
They can have fun and enjoy themselves there.
Whoosh─
It’s collapsing.
The vast spirit world.
What was once part of Cthugha, and had beco its own world, began to break apart.
[ ….. ]
I feel nothing.
I just emotionlessly watch as the spirits, who had been living their daily lives without knowing anything, disappear in the collapsing spirit realm.
It feels like my humanity is fading more and more as ti goes on.
Co to think of it, as I gained more experience, the seed within grew a bit more.
Perhaps that’s why?
Growing distant from living beings, and even from being an outer god.
Am I becoming like Azathoth, an absolute creator?
[ I’m not sure… but I want to do sothing fun for now. ]
I wanted to cure my boredom.
Hmm… First, I’ll create a spirit realm for Idra, then maybe blow off so steam?
“Huk?! What’s this?”
“What’s wrong, sir?! Is there a problem…?”
General Vester, a supre fire spirit marching north through the barren ravine, suddenly shouted and looked around.
His subordinates were startled by his behavior, but he shook his head.
“No, it’s nothing. Must have been my imagination.”
Just imagination.
That’s what he thought.
How else could he explain it?
The vision he saw of this world vanishing in an instant.
They’d just say he dozed off during the march.
As he tried to focus and continue forward…
“Huh? General. There’s sothing up ahead.”
“What?”
A report of sothing in their path.
Could the Forces of Greed be coming to counterattack?
With that thought, they imdiately prepared for battle.
But what stood in their path wasn’t a spirit army, just a single figure.
“What is that?”
General Vester tilted his head at the sight of the pitch-black, rippling figure.
A spirit?
But sothing’s different.
What could it be?
He couldn’t tell.
But sohow, the longer he looked at it, the more he felt chills running down his spine.
In that mont of creeping dread.
Bulge! Bulge-bulge!
“Wh-What?!”
“What’s happening?!”
Suddenly, the black figure began to swell, instantly growing to a massive size of several hundred ters.
And naturally, its suddenly expanded form swallowed up the nearby fire spirits.
“Aaaaah─!”
“Uh…!”
The mont they touched it, the fire spirits vanished instantly.
“Wh-What?!”
“Run away!!”
The swelling black form.
Spirits vanishing at its touch.
General Vester, quickly grasping the situation, imdiately ordered a retreat.
This was absolutely not sothing they could handle.
He instinctively knew that.
“Ugh, uwaaaaah! Die!”
However, among them were those who fell into panic and failed to hear his retreat order.
In complete confusion, they frantically sprayed flas at the dark form.
But everything vanished upon contact, and it continued to swell as it began moving forward.
A terrible monster that made everything vanish at its touch.
“Ah, ahhh…”
A spirit that just stared blankly in despair before vanishing.
“Aaagh! Aaaaagh!”
“D-don’t push! Gyaaah─!”
Spirits sacrificing others while trying desperately to survive.
“P-please… save …”
A spirit that fell and vanished in despair.
Complete chaos.
Seeing this sight, General Vester let out a hollow laugh.
“Heh, heheh. What, what in the world is happening?”
Was this prepared by the Forces of Greed?
Or perhaps the newly arrived Spirit of Fear?
I don’t know.
It’s incomprehensible.
The fire spirits continue to vanish before this unidentifiable thing.
The sa goes for other nearby spirits.
Just a single touch was enough to make their magic and souls vanish without a trace.
Of course, the fire spirits weren’t the only ones in confusion.
“Wh-what is that thing?”
“Wh-what’s happening?”
“Surely this wasn’t prepared by the Forces of Greed or the fire spirits?”
“No, to begin with… is that even a spirit?”
The nearby Forces of Greed,
The tal Forces and Gloom Forces watching from afar,
And even the wind spirits standing guard.
None could comprehend what was unfolding before their eyes.
A being that wasn’t a spirit.
Yet an overwhelmingly powerful existence.
A terrible calamity that should not exist.
This was the mont an unknown monster appeared – sothing that was both spirit and not spirit, continuously growing and moving swiftly.
[ Phew, that feels better now. ]
Only after recreating and destroying the spirit realm three tis in different ways did I start to feel a bit better.
Once by unleashing a giant spirit monster, once by making the spirits go berserk and destroy themselves in a mad war, and once by creating a fire god similar to Cthugha as divine wrath and burning everything. Ṛ𝐀ƝổʙÈŞ
Well, the first and third thods feel a bit similar… but whatever.
As long as it made feel better.
While recreating the spirit realm to blow off steam, I also created one that Idra would like.
One overflowing with vitality, peace, and beauty – the very epito of a fantasy spirit realm.
As expected, she really liked it.
[ I want sothing too. ]
For so reason, Nyarlathotep started making demands of .
Saying they wanted to make sothing for them like I did for Idra.
Wait, why suddenly ask when they’re perfectly capable of creating and experinting with worlds on their own?
It feels like they’re envious and jealous of Idra.
But can an outer god even feel emotions like envy and jealousy?
It’s sowhat interesting.
So I asked Nyarlathotep directly why they were acting this way.
[ Sothing feels off about only that woman receiving things. I find myself wanting to receive sothing too. ]
Oh, this is truly surprising!
They’re actually jealous of Idra.
Though they probably don’t properly recognize it themselves, since it might be their first ti experiencing such emotions…
Just as I thought before, even if one becos an absolute being like an outer god or Azathoth.
No, perhaps it’s precisely because of that that they feel emotions more deeply.
Maybe they simply never had the opportunity to feel emotions until now.
In that sense, Azathoth implanting human mories in might have been truly brilliant.
Because at least I can understand and feel all the emotions that humans experience.
I even imdiately caught onto these feelings of ‘envy and jealousy’ that Nyarlathotep themselves don’t recognize.
[ …? ]
Huh? But thinking about it, this is strange.
Why did they suddenly start feeling envy and jealousy?
Just because I gave sothing to Idra?
It’s not like this was the first ti…
It’s like the jealousy you’d feel when seeing a lover or friend being nice to soone else.
W-wait, could it be?!
Does this an they’ve co to see as such a close friend?
Oh, that’s kind of touching?
It’s true that besides Idra, they’re the one I et and talk with the most.
I also consider her a friend.
Alright, then I should make sothing for Nyarlathotep too.
Well… they’d probably be happy with a similar world?
Honestly, they could create such worlds themselves easily, but the sa goes for Idra.
In things like this, it’s the thought that counts.
