71 – EP.4 The Melancholy of Nibir, Level 2 God of Dimension Management-2

***

Hearing the unexpected words, Raniel’s body stopped.

Nibir, who was famous as a benevolent senior, uncharacteristically exerted absolute power and pressured Raniel.

“Raniel… tell me. Where is that soul?”

“that is….”

“Are you saying you can’t talk?”

He responded with a soft voice, but Ranael hesitated at the weight of those words.

“Then I’m not your senior now… I’m Nibir, the 2nd-class dimension manager.”

– perfect

Pulling back the body that had been close to her, she flicked her hand and the teacup and table disappeared.

The chair Ranael was sitting on changed from a comfortable wooden chair to a strangely uncomfortable iron chair.

Nibir spread out his white wings, which he told him to fold, saying he was busy, and looked down at Ranael from the air.

“Ranael, the 3rd-level dimensional manager.”

Nibir spoke softly, but his voice, amplified several times, reverberated through the space.

“Yes Yes!!!”

Realizing that the situation was changing rapidly, Ranael finally came to his senses and looked up with a very nervous face.

A halo of light that looks like softly falling feathers.

Ranael, who could not be unaware of the destructive power hidden in that sacredness, finally opened his mouth.

“I-I… I killed one more by mistake.”

“What mistake?”

“I forgot what I borrowed from my dimension…”

“Does that make sense? Did you forget what you borrowed with your hand?”

It sounded like an absurd excuse, so Nibir hesitated to push her.

She asked Ranael just in case.

“No way… You… Did you have the kids under you borrow from your dimension?”

“……”

“Haa… I’m going crazy.”

Nibir covered his eyes with his hands.

What kind of crazy god would ask a lower god to sacrifice the souls of his jurisdiction?

“Have you been busy with something? That’s why you made the kids do it, right?”

Even though it is a god, there is a hierarchy and each has his or her own work.

Absolute existence only for mortals, but if you look at the world of gods, the 3rd and 4th grade gods are runners.

Since he himself had done a lot of work in the 3rd grade, Nibir asked if there was an extenuating reason.

“…That’s because it’s not like that.”

However, his juniors ruthlessly shattered that expectation.

– Boom Kwak Kwam!!!!

The wrath of Nibir, famous for its refusal to anger, echoed through her space.

After a rainstorm, Nibir, whose anger had subsided, asked Ranael.

“Yeah… aside from what you’ve done wrong. What dimension is that soul now in?”

“Sorry! I’m not sure!”

Crouching flat, Ranael shouted.

“No… You sent it to another dimension. Looking at it, it looks like you moved to another dimension when you die. Isn’t there a coordinate formula?”

“It’s a spell that sends you to a completely arbitrary dimension, so I can’t even track it.”

“The more you listen, the better it gets. Aren’t you curious how I found out about this?”

“Uh, how did you know?”

“Because the soul you sent came to the dimension I’m in as the main god. Thanks to that, the causal law is very messed up.”

“…sorry.”

“Actually, I can tolerate this to some extent. It doesn’t matter if you’re a third-level god under my control… but it’s not.”

“…….”

“I called you this way. I want you to know that we must find the soul and bring it to you before the management headquarters notices this.”

Nibir paused for a moment, catching his breath.

“I think you did this because the spirits were hurting you… A sacrificed soul, no matter how mortal, should be polite.”

“yes….”

“If you possess a dimension managed by the same 3rd or 4th grade god, I can cover it. It’s because the rank is a gangster. But… it’s hard if you’re a 2nd grade god like me. It’s been a while since I’ve risen to the 2nd grade too.”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

“And… really, if the situation goes to worst and the soul possesses a dimension managed by level 1 or higher, and it gets caught…”

“If you get caught…?”

“Not to mention deprivation of honor… probably going to hell?”

“Uh, what should I do?”

“You didn’t even think about it and started working, so it looks like this… Anyway, quickly find your soul. That’s the way you live.”

“yes…”

Nibir, who issued a congratulatory order to a junior with a downcast face, touched his forehead with his hand for a while even after Ranael left.

I’m a rookie, but I have to feel a stress headache.

“He’s a good boy…”

It was because she was vain and short-tempered, and she knew very well that the original version was not a bad child.

Nibir, who had been swimming in the air and lost in thought for a while, came down to the ground as if he had made up his mind.

“I need some help.”

As I waved my hand in the air, complex pictures began to be drawn on the floor.

Red light leaked out along the lines of the painting, and it soon caught on fire.

As the fire that had warmed the space for a while faded, a charred human form emerged from within.

Nibir reached out and stroked what was supposed to be a human head.

A soft light spread from the point where her touch touched.

Eventually, as the light enveloped her body, new flesh sprouted from the charred lump of charcoal.

“……”

The woman who returned to her original form did not react much.

I just look at my hands and gauge my condition.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“…who?”

As the woman looked up blankly, Nibir smiled.

“I’m Nibir, the second-class dimensional manager. Um… so. Would it be easier to understand if I said the god of your world?”

“It’s God… Then God. Why did you call me? I thought I killed someone and fell into hell.”

“That’s right. You killed a lot of innocent people. You burned them alive too.”

“No, I don’t regret killing those worms. I killed only one person. If I hadn’t sent them there… they would have lived.”

The woman completely denied Nibir’s words.

“Kuhmm… Anyway, the reason you did that… I found out that there are unavoidable circumstances. I called to pardon you.”

“Amnesty? I don’t need that… I have to continue to suffer. I can’t be comfortable. God, send me to Hell.”

“Could the person you thought you killed might still be alive?”

At Nibir’s words, starlight began to twinkle in his dazed eyes.

“What…? Is he alive? Is he alive?”

“Yes. It’s alive. But it’s very far away. I don’t know where it is right now.”

“I see. Then you must have asked me here because you wanted something.”

“Whoa, you’re quick with calculations. Maybe it’s because you’re a resourceful office worker?”

Nibir cleared his throat and looked down at the frail mortal.

“I need you to work with me, Mina.”
