This door wasn’t actually a physical door. It was actually a conceptual existence formed from natural laws. Even though there was only one more step to pass over the barrier, the original residents of this world would forever be unable to take that step. No, more accurately speaking, they would be unable to even see the direction in which to step.

This was just like how fish couldn’t leave water, or how humans needed to live on land. This didn’t need any explanation. It was common sense; it was a natural law.

However, there were always exceptions to everything. There were certain special existences who could find loopholes in the natural laws and successfully leave the Eich universe.

But, nobody had ever returned…

That was because the invisible dimensional barrier was constructed to keep outsiders out rather than prevent people from going outside.

It would be impossible to enter the Eich universe without first having received the host’s invitation.

It was possible to leave, but nobody had ever returned. This fact made anyone who wanted to escape the Eich universe hesitate.

However, was it really true that nobody from outside the Eich universe had ever entered…?

There were always exceptions.

“Damn it.”

The situation on the battlefield instantly changed, even though the world was still the same.

The chaotic domain started dissipating, as if something was dispelling it. It seemed as if countless eyes were watching this place from above the pitch-black sky.

The Chaos Gods who were just earlier trying to team up and kill the God of Holy Light all unhesitatingly turned tail and vanished. Even if running back to the Chaos Abyss was only hiding from things, that was still better than becoming cannon fodder when faced with the unknown.

The incredibly fatigued God of Holy Light could sense new existences faintly projecting their wills here, causing him to stand up once more.

His mechanical and heartless gaze swept across the battlefield which was filled with corpses and rubble. However, the Holy Light Faction Gods, who were all in wretched condition, were avoiding their ruler’s gaze.

Most of the angels had also perished. Finally, the God of Holy Light retracted his gaze and focused on what was above the sky.

Countless eyes were watching from up above. A countless amount of vicious intentions and wills were taking physical form there.

Holy Light flashed once again as the God of Holy Light flew up into the sky.

As always, he was alone. As always, he didn’t hesistate.

“Cleanse…”

Perhaps his mechanical thinking determined his action, or perhaps this was the best choice for his divine power server, or perhaps this was his destiny, or perhaps… he still had a sliver of humanity left in him.

“…Protect…”

The God of Holy Light transformed into a pillar of light as he headed towards the unknown. His silver-white feathers fell down and scattered everywhere on this land.

I paused in surprise at this sight.

Perhaps everyone had still been underestimating him.

But in the very next instant, I knew that I couldn’t simply sit back and do nothing.

Even though Karwenz and I had just been trying to kill each other over the door to the dimensional barrier, right now… the door was already open, so we no longer had any reason to fight.

Even though the Order Faction and Chaos Faction were at the height of the Holy War against each other, even though both sides hated each other, and wanted the other faction to be annihilated, right now… the door was already open, so the two sides were like a country in civil war that was now faced with external threats. The two major factions no longer had a reason to fight each other.

“Is this what you wanted?”

My question didn’t receive a response. Karwenz was actually in deep contemplation for once. Could it be that he finally realized he caused a great deal of trouble and finally regretted things?

“Damn it…”

“Yeah.”

“…Reyne’s physical body is too weak. How am I supposed to go out and have fun in this body?”

Karwenz smiled with vicious intentions. It seemed like he really wanted to see my reaction.

As for me?

My heart wasn’t affected at all. I even wanted to laugh.

Was there anything that I didn’t understand about him? It was obviously impossible that he would ever regret his actions or self-reflect.

Still, he was probably regretting something else now, due to what I was currently doing…

“Hey, could you please not beat me up so badly? No matter what, isn’t this still your precious granddaughter’s body?”

I unhesitatingly punched Karwenz in the solar plexus. His expression distorted from the pain, but before he could react, I shattered his ankle and then knocked him unconscious.

This pain I inflicted on him would count as a tiny bit of interest I collected for all the trouble he caused.

Now that I had dealt with him, I still had a great headache to deal with.

Karwenz was now trapped in Reyne’s physical body. However, I was also trapped in Glina’s physical body.

As for our physical bodies? They were already dead. Not only were they dead, I had a hunch that my and Karwenz’s Main God-level physical bodies had already become sacrifices which were necessary to open the door to the dimensional barrier. We had given such a great gift to Didina for free.

“…There’s not much time left. I must hurry.”

I unhesitatingly walked out as I held Karwenz in my hands. There was so much to do and so little time.

The God of Holy Light had been doing his best to prevent the door from opening, yet he was now the first one to greet the unknown after the door opened. This made me feel rather complex inside.

Still, no matter what, he was the first volunteer to be a “scout” for us. No matter what the God of Holy Light met out there, at least he would give us more time to prepare.

“Ha, I should stay positive. Maybe the outsiders have really weakened, and the God of Holy Light can defeat everything before him easily.”

This was probably the first time that I ever hoped for the God of Holy Light to be victorious.

However, I was no longer able to laugh in the very next instant…

*Boom.*

A soundless explosion transmitted itself through the entire world. All statues of the God of Holy Light instantly shattered as all his devout believers began to cry.

A large amount of angels on the battlefield chose to commit suicide in their despair. The God of Holy Light’s death caused everything to sink into chaos.

“The God of Holy Light has… died!?”

“Haha, wonderful, it seems that there’s many strong enemies outside… ow.”

I unhesitatingly hit Karwenz to make him unconscious once again. The only reason why I wasn’t sealing or killing him and sending him back to reincarnate at the River Styx was because Cynthia’s knowledge might be critically important at this junction.

I looked up at the sky. Even though I knew that wasn’t an exit, I could sense that countless vicious intentions were gathering there. The only reason why they had yet to invade was likely because they were still gathering their forces to test the waters.

Meanwhile in the Chaos Abyss, Didina who had just been praying was now half kneeling on the ground with an expression of pain. She was also able to see through the pitch-black sky, and she also sensed the God of Holy Light’s death along with all the countless evil intentions outside.

“…Have I lost my gamble?”
