《(On Hold) Regarding my time being a God, it was fun》[Volume Two] Chapter 022
Advertisement
OKAY......please don't make me seiza, but sorry guys......it's been some pretty rough weeks.
Here are the reasons for my delay:
Family business - a lot of things came up suddenly
Somehow I joined RaisingtheDead as a Translator and devoted quite some time translating
Then my evil Editor drugged me with "Maji de Watashi ni Koi shinasai", the visual novel one, not anime......I didn't leave my room for 4 days......
A big issue would be that I didn't get the right mood to write...I assume that you guys won't enjoy forced chapters with slacking contents, so I held off until I get the right mood going on to sit down and start writing
Well that's it for Author's corner, enjoy your stay. I'll try to make up for last week if I do get enough time to write a second chapter...
Preparation for defense
Hey guys, Ralph here......no I should really stop before Meteor Shower crash down my land again......I have no idea if copy rights exist cross worlds...
Right. Gamble.
Somehow I had a pretty funny idea and managed to pursued Amel into playing this with me.
The plan is to have Amel transfer me a crap ton of Points so I can turn my place into a freaking fortress of some kind.
So, in order for that to work, I need to confirm something first.
「Can I see your Menu?」
「Eh? Yeah, but why...」
She skeptically looked at me but still called up her Menu and showed me what's in there.
First, I told her to click on [Guardians] herself.
Then I took a look at her list of the guardians that she could summon.
Amel is an A-rank God, so she can access things up to page 12.
Actually, I should be ranking up right about now, but nothing happened yet... well who cares really...
The things in there weren't too crazy, just various kinds of Angels and Valkyries... she's an Arch Goddess after all...
When you compared these to the game bosses I can summon from my old Menu...
...haha, you could really laugh at them.
But it's good like this.
This means I confirmed my condition to go with this idea.
The main concept is to have Amel invest as many Points as possible into my land.
So if I can show her that my troops are way more absurd, she'll be convinced.
Next, I'll experiment this thing that has been on my mind.
I had Amel returned to the Home Menu, then I myself used my own hand to click on [Guardians].
The first page was the same to all the Gods... but then the second page and beyond...
They were all game bosses from my knowledge just exactly like my old Menu.
「Eh!? What are all these absurd creatures!?」
「Well......let's say they're friends......」
So she wasn't surprised that the contents changed accordingly to my click, but surprised at the fact that these game bosses were in there huh...
It must be something the Gods already knew, they probably have messed around with each other Menus...
Now let's make use of the buried Artifact.
Ori, what are the chances of me being able to access up to page 12 of the Menu because I'm using the Menu of an A-rank Goddess?
Then it's almost zero... but that's my win...probably.

Why probably?
Because if there's the word "almost", the Fortune Artifact should make it possible.
But I'm not sure if it's going to be on my side this time around... I mean, it's sealed away, the events happened recently are all from its influences...
One can say it's the leaked powers of the Artifact I'm standing right on top of, but that doesn't guarantee those influences will get to effect my activities now...
But it's a gamble, so let's just do it... I'll stride through Amel's Menu all the way to page 12.
And...
「......it worked」
「Eh?......Ah, so this is your gamble huh......a D-rank God being able to access page 12 because you're using my Menu......」
Jackpot.
Now let's spend her Points to my heart's content.
[Ancient King Owen(950,000P)] - ouch...that hurts just looking at his price.
But it does worth summoning him.
This guy can access the spiritual channel and speak with wandering spirits to disrupt enemies through various methods.
He's also a hybrid Tank-DPS with very high damage output when solo-ing a crowd.
Me and my Guild used to struggle so much fighting him to complete an expansion.
His HP and powers increase accordingly to the number of his enemies.
So if he's solo-ing a whole crowd of 100,000 strong enemies......hahaha.
I can only smile wryly as I thought of that situtation...my raid party only consisted of 12 people and yet he was already near impossible to beat...
By the way, speaking of Menu, I'm not getting my full powers back until tomorrow.
Chaos Origin is still working on it diligently for the sake of the handsome me.
...okay I'll stop.
I had a feeling she just glared at me from the corner of my soul.
Geez...having a mental voice with an ego surely is hard...this familiar plot in light novel should be a systematic voice with only analysis right?
Yet this loli Chaos Origin (my imagination) would pierce my miserable heart with words every time I make a joke...
Anyways, my land is still a ruin so let's not summon him right now.
What do you think would happen if a subordinate was summoned into a ruined Sanctuary with his God trying to flirt with Amel but saw no opening in her defense?
Well......that aside, let's take care of the ruin first then.
I couldn't do the same thing anymore, meaning that I couldn't make any changes on my land using Amel's Menu.
But luckily she can do it for me if she she uses the [Invitation] function.
Amel played with her Menu a little bit and before long, a popup window appeared in my field of vision.
『Grant Arch Goddess Amel permission to make changes to your Sanctuary? /』
Erh......I'm getting déjà vu......as a programmer I find this line familiar to a scary extent.
Man......I can never forget the days when I needed to install applications on my company computer but needed permission from the Admin account on my Boss' personal computer......
But oh well......if you mind it too much you lose.
I clicked .
「Al~right......let's start fixing your place then~」
「Oi......why are you smiling devilishly, woman?」
「Yaa~~ I'm just wondering what shade of pink should I paint your Temple~」
You...woman...
This is seriously karma for having the intention of flirting with her...

I swear I'll go complain with the God of Karma very soon.
What!? The fuck is with that overpowered status...
Well, it seems like that God of Karma can't go around and change the world as she pleases.
Her job is to control the flow of Karma around the world, her Menu is a little special.
That aside...
「O-Oi......」
「Haha don't look at me like that, I was joking~」
「Haa......you remind me too much of my elder sister......」
I could only sigh.
Speaking of sister, I actually don't want Zoras to rampage...
What if he tickles my long-lost siscon past that I sealed away carefully?
Urgh... I'm shivering to recall...
Well no, we weren't hentai, but we were too close because of 2 reasons.
Our parents are always away from home, and the age difference between us is too large.
You'll just naturally get attached to her a lot since she's doubling as your mom...
I got sidetracked again dammit!
That said, Amel turned the ruin back into the glorious Temple of Ralph.
I gathered everyone and confirmed their states.
Golem-kun, safe with a few scratches... tough guy will always be tough.
The Night Hunters are also doing well.
Amel performed a checkup on the pregnant one, but there wasn't any damage because I transported her away from the sanctuary when that goddamn meteor crashed down.
Rex-kun......well, let's skip this bastard since he's sleeping soundly in the front yard of the temple......
The beast people did suffer some injuries, some serious some not so much.
I used my my essence to cast healing magic and they were all good to go again.
Same goes with the Elves, Ana tried her best so they were just slightly scratched.
The Skull Face Angels were all dead though... but Ana can summon more later, so let's just offer them a silent prayer.
Yuah-chan was clinging to me with teary eyes.
Eh......I don't wanna be viewed as a dense protagonist......so let's pat her head and give her a thumbs up for reassurance that everything's fine now.
But I'm not even a main character of a light novel anyway, so let's pay it no mind.
That marked the end of my medical report......as if!!!
There are still my apple trees!!!
Apple Trees are important!!!
I went to the back yard, which is my personal garden.
Well damn...Leila's carrots were smashed...but my apple trees somehow survived with a few broken branches.
Phew...
That's when I saw the huge pond.
Ah crap......I forgot about my demonic amphibian again......
I walked closer and squatted down on the side of the pond, then got scared to half death by a blue dragon the size of an elephant...
What!?
According to Ori, it seems like my demonic amphibian swallowed the whole bag of Mana Stones with 1 year worth of his food and immediately ranked up to Aqua Demon.
Nice. I like this, he looks so badass.
In the future, this guy will be our underground guard.
If someone tries to trespass via tunnels, they'll meet their destiny at my planned-for-future underground labyrinth network consists of many underground lakes.
I played around with Aqua-kun a little bit and returned to my room at the main building to discuss business with Amel.
Time for the big bet.
「What? You're telling me to invest all into your troops instead of calling my Angels?」
「Precisely, I'm confident to say that my troops are stronger」
Well...she'll have to bet on the odds of me being absurdly strong.
The reason is that, if she don't want to risk trusting a stranger like me and used her own troops without lending me Points to call my troops and we lose to Bagudr, we're dead.
Also, if she decided to bet on me and let me handle the troops, we may have a chance to completely stop Bagdur and destroy him.
Well, in case of me also lose to his 100,000 troops then we're done.
We'll be dead either way so if she takes risks and does trust me to a certain extent then we can pull through this somehow.
I do agree that we could just wait one day to get my powers back and fight with that.
But where the hell do I get a crap ton of Points right away to use my powers ?
I need Amel's Points either way...
「......hmm」
「Well, my subordinate already reported that your Empire is showing signs of overpopulation......we can talk that out and form a real coalition on that front......that is if you do have some trust in me and lend me your Points」
Another good thing for her is that, if she just uses Points to invest in my troops then her Angels won't die in vain.
The battle takes place at my Sanctuary so I can revive my subordinates to a certain extent.
But if Amel's Angels die here then that's the end of them.
「Then, if we lose this bet then all of us would just die, huh......you're playing around with Fortune itself you know that?」
「Please......I'm placing my ass on top of that goddamn Fortune Artifact, so don't even talk fortune with me right now......」
「Tch......fine, I'll invest my Points into your army......but we'll sure have a lot of business to talk after this, remember that!」
Eh? Did I just do that?
Did I just get myself another head aching conference-like talk?
I spaced out half-way into the conversation the last time we talked with the humans...
Argh!!! Fuck it!!!
We're moving on!!!
Sanctuary Reconstruction.
I need to put more thoughts into this.
I'll really shine as a game programmer right now when it comes down to balancing maps and their inhabitants.
I sketched out a brief plan in my head before going to sleep at night.
Will Amel come into my room?
Urgh...let's not think about that as we have pressing business right now.
I did prepare a guest room for her but the woman said something like "Eh? I can't sleep on the floor?".
I was pretty damn dumbfounded at the remark...
Seems like this ojou-sama is already sick of comfortable king-sized royal bed and decided to return to nature.
The proof is that she walked all the way from the Empire to the Utopia of Souls and slept on trees at night...
What a wild Goddess...literally.
Oh well, I used her Menu to pull out a set of futon and let her sleep on the floor as requested.
I also need some sleep for tomorrow's work...I'll be burning my brain after getting my powers back fully.
