CH-121.2

 Chapter 121.2

"In your case, your demon eyes will see it beforehand and you'll be able to prevent it. Don't these conditions only hider you?" (Zeke)

"If that's what you think then I'd have thought you accept it with pleasure. You're challenging this me after all. You cannot handicap me enough for it to make any difference." (Arnos)

Zeke stares at me for a few minutes as if trying to determine my real intentions before finally speaking.

"All right then. I'll compete with my more skilful opponent." (Zeke) 

[Editor-san :- The phrase used here doesn't really have a direct English translation. It's usually seen regarding Sumo (but can be used anywhere) where a less skilful person is allowed to practise with a more skilful one. Its literal translation is I'll borrow your chest.]

Zeke changes the conditions of ｢Zekt｣.

While handing his demon sword Gabreido over to me Zeke watches my every move with his demon eyes while also watching for even the slightest disturbance in magic power.

He's obviously wary, not sure how I'll react.

I casually receive the demon sword from him.

"The contract is formed." (Arnos)

I trust the sword into the ground and sign the new ｢Zekt｣.

Zeke lets out a small breath as if relieved.

"Then let's start. Your first question." (Zeke)

"Tell me about the child of god." (Arnos)

After a moments pause, Zeke speaks.

"There are 3 possible people who can be the child of god. Misa Iriologue, Zeshia Bianca and the person the Necron twins Sasha and Misha become when the fuse." (Zeke)

So they think of Sasha and Misha as two people in one?

"15 years ago a child was born to the great spirit Reno and the demon kings right-hand man Shin Reglia. That child is Misa Iriologue and that is just what the heavenly father Nousgalia wanted. The rumours and traditions of Misa's spirit side is the destruction of the demon king and those legends are passed not amongst humans or mazoku but between the gods." (Zeke)

Is that why Misa has a strong origin despite being half spirit and why she doesn't suffer from spirit disease?

I never thought I'd see Shin being mentioned here. I left him guarding Reno 2000 years ago. I just can't see that man falling in love. If it's true then peace is truly a wonderful thing indeed.

"And now that your reincarnation is complete she has grown up and will awaken according to her order." (Zeke)

By waking up I assume he means her true spirit form will be revealed. If the hand of god was involved in this Misa has a very high chance of being it.

"2000 years ago the sky father Nousgalia exchanged a promise with the Azeshion hero Jerga. He would make him magic and give him an order next to god, however, Nousgalia is a god that gives birth to gods. He cannot betray that order therefore he made a bargain with Jerga. He would take part of his origin and turn it into Eleonor who would make a vessel for god." (Zeke)

If the end result was making a god then Nousgalia could probably accept Jerga's demands which makes sense.

"Jerga agreed and the contract was made. It took a long time but a vessel to house a god was finally born by having Eleonor mass-produce Zeshia and that Zeshia is the one who is currently here." (Zeke)

An excellent individual created from a mutation due to heavy origin cloning. It's certainly possible as there are very tiny differences between origin clones. This Zeshia certainly has a different hair colour from all the others but she's young. I'm not sure the quality for a vessel of god is there yet and she's unlikely to awaken due to her age.

"One of the origins of the hero Kanon fused with Aivis Necron during the age of magic and studied fusion magic <Dino Jikusess>. By combining the power and wisdom of two people, the hero who excelled in origin magic and one of the Seven Demon Emperor's who excelled in fusion magic, the research progressed smoothly. Kanon's origin wanted to give power to the mazoku so none of them would die in the inevitable war between Azeshion and Deiruheido." (Zeke)

Even if you intend to die in their place, there is no guarantee that others will not be harmed in war. Giving power to just one mazoku would not have helped, but he still wanted to save as many people as possible it seems.

"After that, the origin and body of Sasha Necron was divided into 2 using <Dino Jikusess>. Originally, she was supposed to only have one personality, but due to divine intervention, the moonlight was disturbed and the natural magic circle was rewritten and the result was Misha Necron the person who was never meant to exist being born." (Zeke)

If that is true then Kanon's origin must have developed quite the headache.

"If left alone Misha would disappear. It was a helpless situation for the hero but all he could do was make sure at least one sister survived. His only sliver of hope was that the soon to be reincarnated demon king of tyranny appeared and saved them." (Zeke)

Thing is he couldn't let me know who he was so it had to happen how it happened.

"And appear you did. The demon king of tyranny saved the sisters which thwarted gods plan unexpectedly. The child, who should have been born with the will of God and great magical power, was born as just two girls. For now anyway." (Zeke)

This explanation also makes sense.

The magic Misha showed a little while ago was not normal, however, the difficulty is that you don't have to be a child of God to have magical powers comparable to them.

Look at me for example.

"As for my information, it came directly from Nousgalia who promised not to lie." (Zeke)

Gods keep their promises. If Zeke isn't lying then its all true.

Some of the information is vague, which is understandable if you think that it is knowledge that Nousgalia dared to share for the sake of this contest of wits.

"Finally, the child of god born to destroy the demon king of tyranny is one of your subordinates." (Zeke)

Fumu. I got a rough grasp of the situation now but let's finish this battle of wits first.

"Then I'll use one of my points to point out a lie. You're telling a lie regarding the child of god." (Arnos)

Of course I've got no idea if its a lie or not at this point so I'm using this as a truth check.

"Unfortunately I'm not." (Zeke)

｢Zekt｣ glows and then settles. The contracts still valid.

So this fellow isn't lying about the child of god.
