Transford into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe – 17
EP.17 Let’s Start Right Away.
[You interfered with , so you have a responsibility to help.]
What kind of absurd logic is that?
Just because I destroyed one giant monster that wasn’t even an adversary, I’m responsible?
If he’s consuming the nutrients of life forms, why not just use a universe as a farm, grow and absorb, grow and absorb?
From what I see, in the universe that nad him Ubbo-Sathla, they seem to worship him as a creator god.
[Why not just find a universe that will willingly offer you sacrifices? Why dominate and destroy a perfectly fine universe?]
Curious, I asked.
[Fard and wild are completely different in taste. I’m a gourt.]
[……]
Ah, I see…
So, he doesn’t like creating life forms to consu endlessly or farming them.
He wants to taste life forms that naturally arise in the universe.
[If you don’t want to help, then give your knowledge. How to create a life form that starts weak but has the potential to beco a ruler.]
…Well, I don’t have any specific knowledge to give.
As he just ntioned, it’s about creating a life form with potential.
Like how I created Eugene, who has imnse mana and talent for magic but hasn’t learned to harness it yet… sothing like that.
Doesn’t it just co naturally to create such a being?
Despite being soone who enjoys consuming the nutrients of life forms, he doesn’t seem to have researched much about creating them.
He’s interested in the taste of life forms but not in studying them.
It seems Outer Gods are born with their inclinations, and they don’t bother with fields they’re not interested in.
He has the information but no intention of utilizing or applying it.
If he shared his interest in life forms with Nyarlathotep, he wouldn’t need my help.
One is overly curious and dissects races, while the other is obsessed with the taste of wild life forms.
Aren’t they a perfect match?
They could go into business together.
If they created a being with the potential to beco a ruler without interference from the universe’s will, Nyarlathotep could take so for research, and Ubbo-Sathla could enjoy the rest.
…But no, that would an Eugene’s sci-fi space opera would end prematurely, and we can’t have that.
As I was thinking this, I sensed a familiar presence approaching.
Speak of the devil.
It was Nyarlathotep.
[You filthy unicellular creature. Who do you think you’re threatening?]
[Isn’t it the worm who’s busy researching delicious snacks?]
The mont they t, it was clear why they didn’t work together.
[Get lost before I dismantle all your precious creations.]
[You get lost. Why are you here?]
It seed they had a very bad relationship.
Hmm, they’re snarling at each other like they want to kill.
I wish both would just leave.
I need to get back to my drama.
[That newcor is mine. Threatening my research subject is the sa as attacking .]
[Don’t be ridiculous. That one will help pursue the ultimate taste. Don’t touch him.]
You crazy fools.
I belong to no one!!
I really wish they would both just leave.

In the end, after arguing for a long ti, they couldn’t reach a conclusion and started a full-blown fight.
I got a bit curious and decided to watch, and it was truly a spectacle.
It was like a clash of concepts.
Or just incredibly grotesque…
Ubbo-Sathla’s wriggling unicellular body extended sothing out.
Nyarlathotep’s tentacles stretched out to et it.
Smack! Thud!
Boom!
Every ti their bodies collided, sothing flickered into existence and then vanished in the empty space between them.
It was… an enormous cosmic space.
As expected from Outer Gods, every clash of their attacks resulted in a Big Bang.
A universe was born, and with each subsequent collision, that universe was destroyed again.
Big Bangs and universe annihilations occurred hundreds, thousands of tis simultaneously.
Even the conceptless void began to twist and change.
A massive black hole, the size of a universe, ford as the twisted void tore apart and swallowed the surrounding universes.
The black hole was so large that even beings the size of planets, like Nyarlathotep, Ubbo-Sathla, and myself, appeared as tiny particles.
Of course, we weren’t particularly affected.
But the universes floating in the void were a different story.
The black hole started sucking in the multiverses floating around like bubbles.
Oh no, you crazy fools!
At this rate, my sci-fi universe will get sucked in and annihilated too!
I hurriedly closed the black hole.
Since it was caused by the twisting of the void, I restored the twist to its original state, and the black hole quickly disappeared.
It seed ridiculously large, and I wondered if it would work, but it was easier to handle than I thought.
Well, top-tier Outer Gods like maintain this size for convenience.
Considering our abilities, it makes sense that we could match the scale of a universe.
If we wanted, we could probably beco that large.
But… it would be inconvenient and a hassle to maintain, so we don’t.
Anyway, if those two keep fighting, these troubleso situations will continue to occur.
Even if they fight to the death, neither can annihilate the other.
[Stop fighting. Don’t cause any more trouble.]
In the end, I stepped in to settle the situation.
[I’ll help you, but leave the universes I choose alone. Don’t touch what’s mine.]
I told Ubbo-Sathla that I’d help him later, but he must leave the sci-fi universe where Eugene resides and any other universes I take an interest in alone.
Honestly, as long as I’m entertained, I don’t need to worry about other universes.
This compromise should be sufficient.
And to be honest, creating a cosmic demon god… sounds kind of interesting.
It could be fun, right?
Anyway, that settled things with Ubbo-Sathla.
As for Nyarlathotep…
[I am not yours. I’m not a research subject. I’ll entertain your curiosity, but only as an equal.]
How dare she try to claim .
I’m not her research subject.
[…I apologize. It was not sothing I should have said to an equal.]
[Well, there are plenty of other universes. I don’t mind cooperating if it’s on equal terms.]
Nyarlathotep apologized for her attitude.
And it seed Ubbo-Sathla accepted my proposal as well.
Phew… Seriously, these primordial beings, supposedly the origins of everything, fighting like elentary school kids over such trivial matters.
Even though they can easily destroy multiple universes if they fight for real, they throw tantrums like children. It’s incredibly annoying.
Anyway, the situation cald down. I agreed to cooperate with Ubbo-Sathla later and sent him away.
Nyarlathotep also left after confirming that Ubbo-Sathla was gone.
It seems she ca because Ubbo-Sathla was threatening , which sshe didn’t like.
…Sigh, finally sorted out.
Living as an Outer God isn’t as easy and convenient as it seems.
However, my encounter with Ubbo-Sathla sparked so interest in .
Specifically, in the creation of life and civilizations.
Not to create a cosmic demon god to dominate the universe like him.
But the story about the Lubaran race intrigued .
Seeing the species he created build civilizations and eventually grow into a powerful race that forms a Galactic Union encompassing the entire universe.
It’s like a civilization-building strategy simulation ga!
It’s like a cosmic version of that old ga, Civilization.
Expanding planets and colonies with the species I nurture, ultimately achieving a scientific victory by unifying galaxies and the universe.
That sounds incredibly fun!
While Eugene’s sci-fi space opera is great, a civilization-building ga also sounds fascinating.
…What if the species I nurture achieve such advanced civilization that they surpass the Lubaran race and beco the leaders of the Galactic Union?
That would be incredibly entertaining.
And it would be a two-birds-one-stone goal to ss with Ubbo-Sathla, who annoyed .
Isn’t that right?
Of course, even though his species and civilization ended up being a nuisance because they didn’t follow his orders, he did put a lot of effort into creating them to dominate the universe.
What if my newly created species eventually push them out?
Honestly, that would feel incredibly satisfying.
Perfect. I’ve decided on my second source of enjoynt.
Anyway, Eugene facing off against the Galactic Union is a decade away… In the anti, there shouldn’t be any issues with designing a species.
Even if sothing happens, I’ll keep part of my consciousness monitoring the situation.
…But what if creating this species causes the future to get all ssed up?
Not that it really matters.
There’s a chance Eugene and my created species could influence each other.
…Oh, a drama and a ga sharing the sa universe.
And they even influence each other?
Haha, what a ridiculous idea.
Let’s start right away.
