Chapter 14: The Hand of God



[The Meias Planet Cluster is in Sector C. So, we’ll need to go through several wormholes.]

[It’s going to take a while.]

[Yes. It will take some time. But you can rest comfortably on the spaceship. It can accommodate a few more passengers.]

Oh, finally, they’re heading to the Meias Planet Cluster by spaceship.

The Meias Planet Cluster.

It’s the homeland and residential area of the Meias, consisting of about ten planets.

It’s also the birthplace of magic, occasionally visited by other races with mana energy in their bodies.

Or by those simply curious about magic.

Most visitors come out of curiosity or to see if they can use magic themselves.

The Meias generally don’t welcome such outsiders.

They believe magic is a unique ability of the Meias.

Hmm… I’m a bit worried.

I hope Eugene doesn’t face racial discrimination as a Tera when he arrives.

[Then, I’ll teach you more intermediate magic during the journey.]

[Thank you.]

Grandpa Jupiter seems to be teaching intermediate magic even while traveling on the spaceship.

Well, Eugene is still a beginner in intermediate magic.

Even with wormholes, traveling to a completely different sector will take a considerable amount of time, so he might master intermediate magic during the journey.

Considering he mastered beginner magic and started intermediate magic in just about a week by Earth’s time, intermediate magic might take… about a month?

[……]

Hmm, but magic training scenes aren’t particularly exciting.

When Eugene was first learning beginner magic, it was exciting for both of us because everything was new. But now, he’s just learning upgraded versions of those spells, so there’s not much novelty.

Of course, it’s still interesting in its own way, but we’ve already spent a lot of time watching him learn beginner magic at the base. Now, even though they’ve moved to a spaceship, it’s still just more magic training. The visuals aren’t particularly engaging.

[Maybe I should skip ahead.]

As I considered skipping to the Meias Planet Cluster, a piece of information suddenly popped into my mind.

[Oh… if they keep going like this, they’ll encounter that.]

To reach Sector C, where the Meias Planet Cluster is located, they need to travel through several wormholes.

But around the midpoint of their journey, a giant monster is scheduled to appear.

Originally, if Eugene weren’t there, no spaceship would be passing through that area, so nothing would happen. But because of Eugene, Grandpa Jupiter’s spaceship is heading to Sector C, and they’ll encounter it.

According to the Union’s official ranking, it’s an A-rank giant monster, the second-highest rank.

It’s about 4000 km in size, roughly the size of a small planet, and it possesses immense gravitational and magnetic energy.

A colossal beast, indeed.

To capture it, at least one battalion from the Union and a large warship would be required.

It’s so massive that it despises beings that are like ants or mites to it.

It’s similar to how humans feel when they see ants or mites—they want to squash them.

As a result, it attacks any humans it encounters indiscriminately.

Its power is so overwhelming that even a very strong Elder like Grandpa Jupiter would struggle to handle it alone.

Originally, it would pass between Sector B and Sector C and be hunted down by the large warships dispatched by the Galactic Union.

But if it encounters the spaceship carrying Grandpa Jupiter, Eugene, and Lowie, it would pose a significant threat to them.

They might even die.

I can’t let that happen.

I can’t let Grandpa Jupiter and Lowie, who are helping my avatar, die.

And since this situation arose because of Eugene, it feels like it’s my fault!

More importantly, I have no intention of ending Eugene’s exciting space adventure drama prematurely.

How could I miss the cathartic scenes where Eugene faces racial discrimination in the Meias’ homeland but uses his innate powerful magic to teach them a lesson?

And I need to keep watching to find out what happened with the confrontation against the Lubaran Elder.

Plus, I’m dying to know what the experiment in the basement is all about. If I die without knowing, I’d be genuinely upset.

…Wait, if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean Eugene and Grandpa Jupiter both survive this ordeal?

Maybe I don’t need to intervene after all…?

Or do I?

Could it be that the future includes my interference?

Since Eugene was born from my intervention, it might be natural for me to help him in seemingly hopeless moments.

If the future outcome includes my intervention?

Ugh, not knowing is frustrating!

What kind of Outer God am I if I can’t figure this out?

Forget it. I’m done with complicated thoughts. I’ll just do what I want.

Crack─

The space splits open.

Naturally, it’s a dimensional gate leading to the sci-fi universe, my home and Eugene’s world.

I’ll set the location and time roughly… to a point where the A-rank giant monster is slightly behind.

Rustle…

I step into the opened space.

The Galactic Union might detect me and cause a ruckus, but since they’re already monitoring the giant monster, taking it down might improve my image.

I might even become known as a benevolent god, opposite to an Outer God, like an Elder God from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Thinking that, I reveal myself in the universe again.

Since I plan to annihilate the giant monster immediately, I appear right in front of it without any pretense.

“…?!”

The giant monster, startled by my sudden appearance as I tore through space, froze in place.

It looked like an Overlord with a massive body, a long trunk, and extended tentacles. Despite its seemingly soft appearance, its body was harder than most metals.

It was surrounded by immense gravitational waves and magnetic fields, causing physical attacks and even light or other wave-based attacks to refract and miss.

This made it difficult to capture the creature with ordinary energy.

A neutron cannon, typically used by large warships to destroy planets, would be necessary to inflict damage.

Though it was a colossal creature, roughly the size of Mercury, it seemed like a small mouse before me.

I was comparable in size to gas giants like Saturn or Jupiter.

Now, how should I deal with this creature?

“Krreeek…!! Just looking at you is corrupting my mind… So, you must be one of those called Outer Gods.”

Even before I attacked, the giant monster seemed to be suffering from mental corruption just by witnessing my presence.

The mental collapse caused by my true form was enough to torment even such a massive and powerful creature.

Still, it seemed to be experiencing only a headache.

As expected, an A-rank giant monster of planetary size was different.

Other beings would have had their brains melted like chocolate by now.

The fact that it was speaking indicated it was on a different level from other creatures.

In space, sound doesn’t travel due to the lack of a medium, so it was modifying the waves surrounding its body to directly transmit its voice to me.

It could manipulate electromagnetic and gravitational waves at will.

As a life form in space, its abilities were almost god-like.

It was a bundle of special abilities.

Well, I could block all electromagnetic waves and not hear it if I wanted to, but there was no need for that.

“Ha! Calling yourself an Outer God is laughable! You’re just a big creature using unusual energy. Perfect! I’ll kill you and take the title of Outer God for myself!”

[…?]

Haha, it’s amusing to see this tiny mouse spouting nonsense just because I stood still for a moment.

Becoming an Outer God isn’t something you achieve by wanting it, my weak mortal friend.

Sure, you can survive in the vacuum of space, remain unaffected by electromagnetic storms from various celestial bodies, and live almost eternally without breathing.

At a glance, you might seem similar to an Outer God.

But… in the end, you’re just a creature bound by the laws of the universe.

Huff—

I disintegrated a part of its body.

No need for any grand gestures.

It’s as simple as breaking down and erasing the very molecules that make up a mortal’s body.

For me, it’s as easy as breathing.

Pffft—!

“Arghhh!”

When about a tenth of its massive head-like body suddenly disintegrated, an enormous amount of blood burst out.

Its blue blood spread through space.

“What… what did you do…?!”

The giant monster was visibly shocked.

Hmm, has it never encountered an Outer God before?

It’s so flustered.

Well… it’s probably so confident because it’s never met one.

Huff—

This time, I erased a few of its long tentacles, each about 2000 km in length.

“Aaaargh! Ughhh!”

The creature began to thrash about in agony.

Blood started to pour out from the tentacle stumps as well.

It would be easier to just annihilate it in one go, but its audacity to claim it would kill me and become an Outer God is quite irritating.

Hmm, dragging this out might be dangerous, though.

The Galactic Union seems to be moving quite busily, so I should wrap this up quickly and leave.

“What… why… why…”

It seemed to be muttering something, but I wasn’t interested.

I simply disintegrated its brain.

Unable to sustain its life, the creature exploded, scattering its flesh in all directions.

Alright, now that my task is done, it’s time to return through the rift.
