Chapter 126 God
In the battle between Leaf Chemist and the cultist in the capital city, just when it seemed like the cultist had the upper hand, Leaf suddenly uttered mysterious words.
Every night I drink medicine. If I forget, something terrible will happen.
...The moment it struck midnight, the consciousness of the cultist ceased.
"Huh! Haa... haa... haa...! Wh-where am I...?"
The cultist looked around.
It was an unfamiliar wasteland.
"A wasteland...? Teleportation magic...? Did he forcibly teleport me here...?"
He was supposed to be in the capital city just a while ago.
There was must be a beautiful townscape.
There should have been lush grasslands around the capital city.
But now, there was nothing but a barren wasteland as far as his eye could see.
"Was I sent to a realm of monsters (Stampede)...?"
This is one of the hidden places in this country.
He heard it's a barren land where not even a blade of grass grows, and no one can live there.
He thought he was sent there...
But then he felt something was off.
"If that kid can use teleportation magic, why didn't he use it from the beginning?"
Leaf Chemist arrived late in the capital city.
If he could use teleportation, that wouldn't make sense.
"W... what? WHAAAAAT!?"
At that moment, the cultist witnessed something unbelievable.
In the corner of his vision, there was something.
A large object.
At first, he thought it was a rocky mountain.
But it was different.
"The... clock tower of the capital city..."
The clock tower that was in the center, it was there.
However, it was in ruins.
With just a light touch, it crumbled and turned into sand.
"Ah! W-what... what's happening!?"
The cultist fell on his backside.
And then, he looked at his own hands... and was surprised.
"T-the evil god's power... Disappeared!?"
He just ate a piece of the evil god that he received from the messenger pigeon earlier.
It was said that once he eat this, he can never turn back into a human again.
But what about now?
His body is returning to its original human form.
"What, what, what is going on!?"
The clock tower turned to sand. Upon seeing that, a silly idea came to mind.
Maybe this isn't a different place.
Could this be the capital city...?
In other words,
There's a possibility that something turned the capital city into this wasteland.
Who did it?
It must be only one person...
That monster (Freaks).
"...Huh?"
Suddenly, he noticed something in the sky.
There was a full moon in the sky.
With the moon's shadow behind it, something was standing in the air.
"N-no way... That figure, could it be...?"
In the eyes of the cultist, as he looked at it, he showed a face of astonishment.
"T-This... could it be... the true form of Leaf Chemist?"
Perhaps, ordinary people wouldn't be able to perceive his current appearance.
But the cultist could see it.
Because he had absorbed the power of the evil god.
Thanks to that, he had developed resistance to that power.
...The black silhouette floating in the sky.
Undoubtedly, it was what he worshipped.
[It] extended its right hand forward.
And something fell from the hand.
It's a beautiful droplets dripped from the black silhouette.
The moment they plopped onto the dry ground...
Hummmm! Everything returned to its original state.
Everything, without exception.
The barren wasteland turned into a lush green meadow.
The collapsed capital city was restored to its former state.
The vanished lives were all restored in an instant.
"Haha... hahaha!"
The cultist could do nothing but laugh.
"Wow! So that's what it means! There's no way I can win this!"
The True Nature of Leaf Chemist.
The truth he had been hiding.
The cultists who witnessed it... whatever he thought, he prayed.
He knelt down, clasped his hands, and bowed his heads.
Leaf Chemist landed lightly.
He reached out his hand and touched the cultist's head.
"■■■■"
Leaf spoke words that humans couldn't understand.
At that moment, the cultist lost consciousness.
...And Leaf Chemist's form returned to that of a human.
"Huh? Where is this...?"
He looked around with a puzzled expression.
The streets of the capital city at night stretched out before him.
Everyone was asleep.
Not a single scratch on the city.
The faceless monsters that had caused chaos in the capital city had all disappeared.
Only the cultists who had been battling just a moment ago were left in front of him.
"Well... whatever! "
...Leaf Alchemist.
He controls his own power with medicine.
He must take medicine once a day to control his true power.
Destroying everything, creating everything.
Truly, that figure...
His true identity...
