I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 45



Ambush

“Uh… Princess? Do you know what kind of place that is?”

When the boy asked, looking back at the girl, she tilted her head with an innocent expression.

“Isn’t it a place where ladies and their knights go? That couple over there is going in too.”

At the place the girl pointed to, a couple was entering a motel.

A man, heavily laden with the woman’s luggage, was struggling to keep up with her whims.

…Ah.

How should I explain that?

So, a princess? No, it’s not like that…

As the boy’s mind went blank,

“Hurry up!”

The girl grabbed the boy’s wrist and pulled him roughly.

What the, why is she so strong!

“J-just a moment!”

“What’s ‘just a moment’! Come here!”

It was when the boy was dragged by the girl and crossed the motel’s threshold.

Rumble rumble rumble

The world shook.

“…Huh? I didn’t do anything?”

Buildings around them crumbled and turned into chaos as if a massive earthquake had struck.

“…Prince. Do you dislike me that much?”

“N-no! I didn’t do anything!”

It was the moment the boy was deceived by the girl’s act of pretending to be disappointed.

-At last! The time has come!

A chilling voice echoed.

“!!!”

The girl’s face turned pale with shock.

A familiar voice.

A voice she had heard too many times.

A voice that had never once been pleasant, from her human days to now.

A voice she thought she would never hear again.

“……No.”

That voice.

“No!”

Why.

Wasn’t the nightmare over?

She had torn apart all the shackles.

The girl began to tremble.

It didn’t make sense.

It was just a voice, but now it was interfering with reality.

Shiver shiver shiver

“No……please stop……”

The brilliant and beautiful dream of a single night was fading.

A sense of despair, as if to say you do not deserve such happiness, overwhelmed her.

“No…!”

The girl curled up.

She had no strength left to do anything or even resist.

Just hearing that voice.

Thump

A warm touch embraced her entire body.

“Princess.”

“!!!”

The boy hugged her.

“I told you earlier. Those nightmares are over now.”

“…Ah?”

When the girl lifted her head, she saw the face of a lovely man.

“No nightmare will ever dare to trouble you again, Princess. I’ll stop them.”

The face of the prince she had only dreamed of.

The touch of the prince she had imagined would one day rescue her from this hell.

His beauty and warmth were more radiant than anything she had ever dreamed of.

The girl slowly stood up, holding the boy’s hand.

“That guy is the bad one who troubled you, right?”

The boy smiled.

“If I get rid of him, you’ll be able to sleep peacefully, right?”

“……Yes.”

Is it just about sleeping comfortably?

If the voice that prevented her from leaving her room, her domain, disappears, she might be able to roam freely.

She could leave her domain, descend to the lower world, and sneak into the boy’s room to sleep together.

How many children would be good?

The constellation cannot get pregnant, but if she creates an incarnation, it is entirely possible.

When she returns, she will have the apostles create an incarnation.

And then!

Crash!

“Gah!”

Just as the girl’s delusions reached their peak,

A hand suddenly emerged and pierced the boy’s chest from behind.

“Ah……”

A woman with the same appearance as the girl.

“Who are you trying to eliminate?”

But her smile was never like hers,

It was filled with a terrifyingly malicious and cruel energy.

Crash!

Magic power erupted from the hole in the chest.

“Ugh!”

The light flickered a few times

Boom!

The boy’s body exploded, scattering in all directions.

It turned into pieces of meat, unrecognizable.

“Thank you, worm. Thanks to you, the conditions for resurrection have been met.”

The villain, who had the appearance of a girl, smiled slyly.

The head of the research institute.

The head of the research institute, who was thought to be dead, was resurrected as fragments of a soul.

Thud

The girl, whose legs had lost strength, fell to her knees.

You were inside me all this time….

From noble mtl dot com

The blood of the head of the research institute, absorbed when the girl ascended to godhood.

It was not merely a catalyst for magic.

It was a plan to hide inside her and use her divine body as a host to resurrect as a god.

That was why he artificially deified her and slaughtered all the other researchers.

“Ssshhh haaa.”

The head of the research institute spread his arms wide, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

“I was in a situation where I didn’t have much time left. I didn’t have enough time to build up the narrative to become a god. But if I artificially created a god and waited inside, it was entirely possible.”

The head of the research institute had a dream since childhood.

To become a great god encompassing all human knowledge.

I have lived with a single-minded determination to ascend above the gods.

From a young age, he was hailed as a prodigy with a genius mind, and he became a scholar recognized across the entire continent, eventually rising to the position of director at the Empire’s top research institute, the Imperial Research Institute.

But he could not become a god.

Despite his exceptional intelligence and the knowledge he had gathered from all over the continent, he ultimately failed to ascend to godhood.

What on earth was the reason?

After much research, he finally discovered the condition he lacked.

Narrative.

The three great scholar constellations, including the magitech scholar, all possessed their own narratives, but he did not.

A narrative that would become the core around which sufficient divinity could condense.

And by the time he discovered this fact, he was too old.

He concealed his aging with a mask and forcibly extended his lifespan, but he had reached his limit.

There was not enough time to acquire a narrative and become a god.

The director thought.

If I cannot become one, I will make another a god.

And I will use that god as a host to be reborn as a constellation.

The director persuaded the emperor while hiding his true intentions.

The emperor, swayed by his persuasion, approved the absurd plan to artificially create a god, not realizing that this plan would lead to his downfall after the director’s betrayal.

“And finally, all the conditions have been met.”

No matter how many arrangements were hidden, a god is a god.

To seize the divinity of that god, several stringent conditions had to be met.

The god’s emotional state must be unstable and weakened.

Above all, contact must be made with something from another world that can somewhat nullify the god’s power.

A voice that constantly repeated in the girl’s head, tormenting her.

It was to control the girl as desired and lead her to fulfill the conditions.

“The activation condition is to feel emotions above a certain level. For a worm like you, I was sure that all conditions would be met and the shackles would be faintly weakened!”

The restrictions imposed by the amount of knowledge in this world were not only to make those restrictions stronger but also to make her obsessed with things from another world.

If she struggled to escape the curse of knowledge, she would seek things from another world, and when she found them, she would feel intense emotions.

Wooong

The power that constitutes the world.

The divinity that was within the girl.

All the power began to be sucked into the laboratory director.

Ah…

Again.

He died because of me.

Because I asked him…

If he hadn’t gotten involved with me, he wouldn’t have died.

Once again, I…

The laboratory director, standing before the despairing girl, greedily devoured her divinity.

Such an excellent meal!

In addition to the absolute power of knowledge about the continent of Leifania, the power of knowledge and dreams from another world as well.

The continent shall welcome a new god of wisdom.

The greatest human god that has ever existed!

“Thank you, you wretched worm! You were my greatest masterpiece! Hahahahahahahaha!”

The long years hidden within the girl’s divinity.

It was truly difficult.

But it’s all over now.

The continent shall now submit to me!

I alone, who encompasses all knowledge and intelligence, shall stand tall as the true master of the continent!

“Another sneak attack from behind, is it?”

Then, a voice that should never have been heard echoed.

“!!!!”

The research director’s eyes widened.

“If it’s the same pattern, the players will complain about reusing patterns.”

Crash!

“Argh!”

An invisible force suddenly struck the research director to the ground.

The research director couldn’t comprehend the current situation.

What just happened?

How did it penetrate all the defense mechanisms surrounding me and strike my core?

Before that, it should have annihilated my very existence!!

“The master of the dream does not die in the dream.”

Whack!

The boy’s foot stomped on the back of the lab director.

“Even if you want to die, you can’t. Not in the dream.”

In the dream, you can achieve anything.

Except for one thing, dying.

As long as the power of the dream is functioning properly, no one can stop the master of the dream.

But you, unlike that guy back then, can’t seem to nullify the power?

What kind of boss should I make you?

Players these days are tired of the existing bosses, so it would be nice if you had a variety of patterns.
