After reforming my body, Kala began to explain everything. Amy confirmed her story.

After she was done, Dallel and Celios sat in thought.

Dallel spoke first.

“If not for both Amy’s reaction and her corroborating it, I wouldn’t believe you. I can’t argue with that… Though I have one question.”

“What is it?”

“Who was that guy?”

“I… don’t actually know. The only thing I could confirm is that he was human.”

Asura looked at the corpse.

“That thing was human?”

“That’s what the check said, but something odd happened after Rose killed him.”

“What?”

“A system, right out of an Isekai showed up.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was like Everyone else is a R*turnee. Higher beings, factions. It doesn’t make sense.”

Amy somewhat understood, as she was also a weeb.

“So, by killing him, you unlocked this system?”

“Pretty much.”

“Did it appear in your retinas?”

“No, it talked sorta like I was a S*ord when I Reincarnated.”

“I see, so you have an announ*er-san?”

“No, it felt different.”

“Words of the W*rld?”

“No no no. It’s like a broken alexa if you want a specific thing. It talks, but you can’t do anything to talk to it.”

“Man…”

Amy was almost disappointed that me and Kala didn’t have our own a*nouncer-san.

Everyone listening was entirely lost.

“Your world thing?”

“Yep.”

Celios didn’t get the system, but he did have a question.

“How is it that you are a 15, but can still crush us?”

“Because I checked the system, and you are a 10.”

Celios realized that it was a different scale after that.

“Wait… did it tell you about my skill?”

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

“Yes, and I don’t want you to use it unless it’s an emergency from now on.”

Celios sighed.

“Fair, I guess.”

Nala had to ask.

“What skill?”

“Self-destruction, it permanently removes abilities so he can be stronger for a bit.”

They looked at Celios in shock. A skill like that could kill him if he wasn’t careful.

“Yeah, I never used it often, but I designated it as necessary there.”

Dallel sighed then turned back to me.

“Well, that does explain why Amanda was so strong suddenly, you just stopped holding back.”

“Nope, here.”

I grabbed the restraint I wore and tossed it to Dallel.

“I wore that the whole training.”

Dallel’s eyes widened.

“Even the tournament?”

“Yep.”

They realized what it meant. Not only did I fight on an equal ground, but I even mastered fire magic in a state when my magic was all but gone.

“You certainly have a lot of talent.”

“It comes with reincarnating as a nigh omnipotent being… at least Kala thought we were.”

“Yeah, that guy was certainly stronger.”

“Yep, if I hadn’t merged with Kala in that instance, he would have won, and even then, I only managed to catch him off guard by removing my shift.”

“And the more terrifying part.”

All of us looked at Celios.

“At least, according to himself, he was just a grunt.”

_

We returned to the city and counted our losses, luckily, no one died in that assault as the guy focused me and Celios, but the arena and wall were pretty much rubble.

Most people looked at me with suspicion. That was expected, but still painful.

The gods all left for their own domains.

Ausar told us the plan.

“If this faction, God Slayers, declared war, we need to be prepared. We will all continue increasing our skills, but as of now, we need to mobilize our armies. I doubt that man was the last they’ll send.”

Dallel agreed with the plan. He needed to gather the adventurer’s guild and get Dalis to call for aid.

Mammon and the others didn’t trust me, so they had me wear the restraint, so Dallel or Celios would be able to beat me.

They even went the next step and gave me one that I couldn’t just disconnect. As I was a full 5 levels higher than Celios, it was a necessary precaution.

I was still S rank in strength, but that was a far cry from my Dominion skill.

Celios had a question.

“What does level 5 mean for a world?”

“I don’t know. I think it may mean that the average strength of both beasts and people increases greatly.”

“So, you think things like the Whilderbeast king will be more common?”

Mammon asked the question I had myself.

“As I’m new to this system, I can’t really say, but that is what I’d assume.”

“That is concerning.”

“Honestly, we are at the point where we have multiple fighters that way exceed its strength, but what I’m more worried about…”

“What?”

“Is that another one of those ‘higher beings’ could attack.”

Dallel had a question.

“What is the Supreme Faction though?”

Both me and Kala knew.

“Earth.”

“What?”

“They declared peace after I killed a grunt and had war declared on me by the God Slayers.”

“And?”

“Their final goal is to kill the ruler of Earth.”

“Do you think that they could?”

Kala snorted.

“Absolutely not. It’s a fool's errand to try, but I’m more concerned that they will kill the people of Earth… One in particular I want to defend.”

Amy nodded.

“Amanda.”

Kala nodded.

“But one thing doesn’t add up.”

We looked at Dallel.

“Why would they try to recruit you?”

I answered.

“Because I have the power to get to Earth.”

Their eyes widened.

“How?”

“Because it’s Kala’s homeworld, it didn’t require much mana, so upon Kala showing me her memories, I urged her to visit, and she did.”

“Is that when she got her change of heart?”

I nodded.

“Her original goal was to destroy Earth for their mistreatment of the neurodivergent, but because of the visit she stopped that.”

“Heather is very stubborn. What caused the change?”

“Amanda’s book, and the one that got her sent to the office in middle school lamenting that he never got the chance to apologize.”

Amy nodded.

“The book definitely made waves in terms of how people saw the neurodivergent.”

The medieval folk were once again confused.

“Neurodivergent?”

“One type, psychopathy, reduces the amount of empathy one has for others. Kala is a psychopath, and as a result faced discrimination.”

“I see. That’s stupid, if anything, add them to the forces.”

“They were scared that they would attack their allies.”

“… That… what?”

Dallel and Celios were both at a loss.

“I mean, it did occasionally happen, but it was still quite ludicrous.”

“All… right.”

Amy sighed as though we didn’t understand.
