I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 47



The Constellation of Wisdom

Pew!

“Ugh!”

Another beam of light pierced through my body.

A single ray of light erased half of my body.

The power of that guy was becoming increasingly precise and powerful.

He was getting accustomed to the power of a god.

Voom

I regenerated my body once again.

The left half of my body, which had been incinerated by the director’s beam, was restored.

“Persistent, aren’t you?”

He stood above me, looking down arrogantly.

“I told you. I am immortal.”

“Hmph. For an immortal, your regeneration speed seems to have slowed down compared to the beginning.”

He seemed to be under some kind of misconception.

“As I thought. Even if you can’t die, regeneration is a different story. It consumes power to return to a complete body. And the more you consume, the slower your regeneration becomes.”

He twisted his lips into a grin.

“When your regeneration reaches its limit, I’ll devour you.”

With those words, he fired beams of light.

Boom! Boom!

I erected countless barriers to block the director’s beam.

“You think you can buy time, but it’s futile!”

Kwakakakabang!

The beam poured down like a stream of light.

Even the barriers I created with my imagination began to reach their limits.

“The time it takes to exhaust the divinity within me is over a day! That’s more than enough time to absorb you!”

Pew!

In the end, the beam pierced through the barriers and reached me.

His smile grew darker.

This guy.

Does he not think that I might just disrupt the dream world and run away?

If I just leave, you’ll die a dog’s death.

If I run away, I won’t be absorbed.

But if I do that, the goddess of wisdom won’t be able to shake off the past and awaken.

Now is the last chance.

Constellation… it’s urgent.

Please hurry.

When will it be done?

Surely it hasn’t failed, right?

At that moment

Kugugugugung

A powerful explosion echoed from the ground below.

…It worked!

“…No way.”

His face was hardened.

Having absorbed all the powers of the god of wisdom, he would know.

What was happening down below right now.

“That can’t be. She doesn’t have a shred of divinity left.”

He denied reality even more, as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Ah, yes. There wasn’t a single bit of divinity left.”

A mass of divinity rapidly surged from the ground to this place.

“But if one awakens their own divinity, it’s a different story.”

His face stiffened in shock.

Having ascended to godhood through the sacrifice of many, as it was impossible to do so on his own.

Therefore, he would be even more unable to accept it.

“That’s impossible! That woman achieved something even I couldn’t! There’s no way that’s possible!”

This contradictory being, filled with both superiority and inferiority.

“I am the god of wisdom! I am the true pinnacle of intellect, unlike worms like you!”

The enraged being raised both hands.

From noble mtl dot com

Thousands of light sources, born solely for destruction, were created in the air.

The attacks it had used in our previous battles were like fuel-efficient driving to conserve its divine power. But now, it was burning its divine power to unleash a completely different level of attack.

However.

“You’re wrong.”

Woong

All those sources of light vanished in an instant.

“You are not the god of wisdom.”

A girl, shining brilliantly in violet, blocked my path.

“Wisdom is understanding all things intellectually and aligning one’s thoughts and actions accordingly. You, who forcibly twist your surroundings to your will, can never be the god of wisdom.”

“…You’ve regained it, Princess.”

The girl, who had been trapped and tormented for hundreds of years, had achieved her own awakening.

She had accepted everything within herself and was reborn as the true god of wisdom.

“Prince. Thank you.”

She glanced at me sideways and greeted me.

“To have experienced death countless times for my sake. How painful it must have been.”

It didn’t hurt since it was a dream.

“Can I take this as a confession of love? You crossed the line first, Prince. Be prepared. I’ll show you all the hundreds of special skills of the god of wisdom.”

…What?

My brain was overloaded, unable to keep up with her words.

“You, you wench!!!!!”

Fwoosh

The head of the research institute, engulfed in the flames of divinity, shouted.

“I cannot accept this! There’s no way a lowly and foolish woman like you could have achieved divinity on your own! It must be some kind of trick!!”

Despite knowing better than anyone about the formation of divinity, he denied it.

He couldn’t accept that an experimental subject he had so long ignored had accomplished something he himself could not.

It was a denial of all the paths he had walked for so long.

“How dare you interfere with my millennial plan! I will burn both of you to ashes with the fire of the gods!”

He raised his hands.

Then the flames gathered and took the shape of the sun.

He held the massive sphere of the sun with both hands.

“To burn even the core of divinity… Has his rage paralyzed his reason?”

Even if divinity is sacrificed, it can continue to exist by absorbing other divinities.

However, the core of divinity is the very concept of existence.

If the core is burned, his annihilation is certain.

“It doesn’t matter! I’ll burn you all to ashes and devour you right here!”

Even if he wins and devours others, he will be annihilated.

It was as if he had crossed a river of no return.

“Ugh.”

The god of wisdom reached out towards the sun of the research institute head, but the sun did not disappear.

“…Too strong.”

The final attack, risking annihilation.

It was a colossal force that even she, who had awakened as a complete god, could not fend off.

In that case.

“Princess. Could you give me your hand?”

“Wow, Prince?”

I held her hand and interlocked our fingers.

“Huff, huff! Th-this is so romantic, capturing such a sweet moment in such a dangerous situation, but it’s also, how should I say, dangerous, and we don’t have time for this… but if I’m with the Prince, I don’t mind dying… and I didn’t expect the Prince’s hand to be so warm and soft, so inside of it…”

Then she started to babble incoherently.

Well, she had been locked in a room for such a long time, so it might be hard for her to have a proper conversation.

Especially now, after overcoming all those hardships and ascending to godhood.

“I’m sorry, Princess. We don’t have time right now.”

Constellation, please.

[The storyteller in the dream pouts with a displeased expression.]

[The storyteller in the dream says they will do it because it’s for our precious apostle.]

Wooong

The remaining power of the constellation gathers within me.

[The storyteller in the dream, whose divinity is depleted, temporarily falls asleep.]

Thank you, always.

I greeted the sleeping constellation and looked at the god of wisdom.

“Princess.”

“Huff, huff!”

Why such an intense reaction?

You’ve achieved divinity and transformed magnificently, but your actions are a bit disappointing.

“Let’s blow him away together.”

“What?”

“My imagination and the princess’s wisdom will become one.”

“Wow, becoming one with the prince…! Hauu…”

It seemed a bit strange to believe this, but right now, she was the only one I could trust.

Kuuooo

A powerful force surged around us as we held hands.

“Is this your final struggle? It’s useless! Nothing can stop my sun! I alone am the pinnacle!”

The sphere of annihilation was fired at us.

“No.”

My imagination has its limits.

I only know the concept, without understanding the actual structure or principles. It’s just a fragmentary imagination.

But that imagination changes when it meets the power of wisdom.

The god of wisdom who implements everything down to the smallest detail.

With that power, the entity reveals its form.

“Look up.”

I pointed upwards with my finger.

“…What!”

Above the sky

Beyond the atmosphere

A tremendous force gathers.

“Prince’s grand imagination! It’s so amazing!”

“… Please save such comments for later, Princess. You’re breaking my concentration.”

A weapon of destruction that I conceived,

and the god of wisdom completed, even desecrating the gods.

Our greatest collaboration.

Satellite Cannon.

Ἴκαρος

“Th-That can’t be! An attack higher than my sun!”

“Go! The fruit of love born from the Prince and me!!!”

KABOOM!

From an altitude surpassing even the sun created by the head of the research institute.

The spear of light we fired shoots from space.

“This can’t be… It can’t be!!!!”

Collapsing the pinnacle of arrogance he created.

* * *

“Ah, I found it!”

The goddess of wisdom, rummaging through the debris of buildings, picked up the smoldering charcoal she had been looking for.

“Fortunately, you’re still alive.”

What, still alive?

This guy is really tough.

The head of the research lab smiled brightly, perhaps happy that he was still alive.

“What do you plan to do with him?”

I, who had witnessed her entire life, had seen all the atrocities committed by the head of the research lab.

The pain she suffered because of him was immense, beyond measure.

Just putting him in a weekly boss form might not be enough.

“Your Highness.”

“Yes.”

“Have you ever heard of personality jelly?”

…What? Jelly?
