He scratched his head and roared, desperately thinking of a better method.
As the only remaining god, although he possessed divine power and strength and knowledge beyond what ordinary people could imagine, and could even cause miracles in the human world, he himself was also sealed by the Dragon God.
Under normal circumstances, he could only use divine power within this Boundless World. However, the seal was not complete enough, allowing him to exert limited influence on the outside world. Therefore, he could often forcibly converse with people, read their minds, see fate, the future, and observe the outside world from this Boundless World.
After so many years, he had finally squeezed out enough divine power to break through the seal of the Boundless World, using it to resurrect a trump card just beneath his ultimate trump card. He had planned to carefully make arrangements in order to avoid the outcome of his death, but...
"I was tricked! I was actually tricked.... That foreign object! I was actually tricked by an outside foreign object? That damn bastard! I will never forgive you!"
His fear of death had made him anxious for a moment. Now the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He furiously waved his arms and legs, venting his emotions.
And beside him... the people who had died and were gradually dispersing here, returning to magic power, merely stared blankly at his irritated and cursing appearance.
It felt like his curses were somewhat disorganized, but as people who were already dead, they could only quietly watch that guy roar.
But their luck was actually quite good. At least right now, the Human God was angry at himself, whereas normally, when someone died, the Human God would happily mock that person's entire life.
And it was worth mentioning that the Human God truly did not discover Ash's existence from other people's perspectives until Ash became the Evil God.
Before that... he had only noticed that the direction of the future had become difficult to see and increasingly blurry.
It was only during his investigation that the Human God realized that there was now another person capable of seeing the future, and this person also possessed a mental defensive technique that was different from that of the world and had been constructed with extraordinary precision, making it completely impossible for him to forcibly communicate with him or read his mind. Even his existence had recently been completely concealed by the Fate Magic he had unconsciously mastered.
Or rather, although the fate Ash observed was extremely weak, as long as it could be observed, it could not be detected by his divine power.
Because his divine power in the outside world was extremely weak, and he could only observe the future through divine power, this made it extremely easy for him to be interfered with.
But the only thing that could be confirmed was that he had seen the scene of himself being killed in the future, and if he did not take further measures, it would definitely become reality.
Although he still did not understand whether the future he had observed was because he had made the first move, or because Ash later coveted his divine power.
But continuing to trace these things seemed to have already become meaningless. After all, the location of the Boundless World... might already have been exposed.
———
As for the matter of the Boundless World, Ash himself knew nothing about it.
The brief observation had only given him a general direction, but he had no intention of investigating it for the time being.
After all... it was a god, no matter how one put it, and it felt quite dangerous. In any case, being cautious was always better.
During the time that followed, he obtained a carriage and, as before, quietly studied magic in the carriage, or occasionally researched and read the Water God's memories. Using his own system, he instantly achieved an understanding of the Deprivation Field, and also tried to fuse the Light Execution and the Deprivation Field into an ultimate technique combining offense and defense.
And although Eris should have known that it was absolutely impossible for her to win against him, she somehow became even more diligent, and as always, became the vanguard for the two of them.

Time slowly passed, and just like that... about half a year later.
Elsewhere, Roxy, who had already finished her journey home long ago, had originally continued her aimless travels as before after leaving her hometown.
But this time, after many years, she returned to the Fittoa Region of the Asura Kingdom.
Because throughout these years, she had kept corresponding with Ghislaine, and it was through those letters that she learned that after Ash had finished his travels and returned, he had temporarily stayed at the Boreas household as a guest.
And when she left her hometown to travel across other continents, she had also heard the unbelievable rumor, that the entire Fittoa Region had simply disappeared into thin air.
At this moment, she stood there alone in silence, her eyes blankly staring toward the other end of the stone-paved road.
The stone road simply stopped there. Beyond the end of the road, what should have been a lively scene full of vitality, houses, and farmland, now contained nothing but an utterly empty expanse of land.
Because the grassland was far too flat, it instead appeared especially desolate and lonely, as though all the past, all the liveliness and human warmth, had been mercilessly swallowed up by this land, leaving nothing behind.
Roxy simply stared at this grassland and unconsciously opened her mouth slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but her throat felt as though something had clogged it, and she could not make even the slightest sound.
Although she had heard long ago that the entire region had disappeared, deep in her heart, she had always been unwilling to acknowledge this fact. She had continued to hold onto that final, faint hope, disregarding the distance of the journey and insisting on personally returning to this sorrowful place that carried countless memories and emotions for her.
She wanted to see it with her own eyes, wanting to prove that those rumors were nothing more than absurd lies, however, reality cruelly shattered her fantasy.
That family, who had always treated her gently despite her being a demon, and that cute, energetic mixed-blood disciple, everything had disappeared without a trace like bubbles, along with everything else on this land, as though they had never existed here.
And another disciple who made her feel deeply guilty, yet was exceptionally tolerant and gentle toward her, had likewise disappeared from this world.
She had not even had the time, in the end... to properly apologize to him, unable to make up for the debt and regret in her heart.
Although before leaving, Ash had relied on his extremely high talent to surpass even her, he had not experienced even a single real battle. She simply could not help worrying, because the death rate of adventurers who had just set out was astonishingly high.
Because... no matter how strong humans became, they were still ultimately human. A knife from behind could easily take their lives.
Especially with a sudden teleportation, what if he happened to land inside a volcano... Wouldn't he be dead for sure?
One had to know that this world did not have flying magic. Even if he did not land in a volcano, ending up on the surface of the sea would still be a near-certain death, and the probability of falling into the ocean was far higher than landing on land.
Countless terrible outcomes flashed through her mind. The more she thought about them, the more painful her heart became, leaving Roxy standing there blankly, so much so that the staff in her hand slipped to the ground without her even noticing.
"If... if I had been a little braver, if... if I had properly apologized back then," Roxy's lips trembled slightly as she murmured to herself, appearing especially bleak and sorrowful on this empty land.
It was also at this moment that, in the conversation of some refugees passing by, the extremely popular recent rumor was suddenly mentioned.
"...Things really haven't been peaceful lately. Not only was this place completely destroyed, the legendary Water God even went to the Demon Continent to kill someone named Ash, but after finally finding that guy, an Evil God appeared out of nowhere and even killed the Water God."
"What are those big shots thinking? Why would they run off to a place like that to fight for no reason? I heard that quite a lot of the people watching were also killed?"
"No! No! No! You don't know! It wasn't just quite a lot of people who were killed! The Evil God directly slaughtered the entire old Kishirika City! Not a single living person remained!"
"That cruel? That's terrifying! No wonder he's an Evil God..."
"That's not all! I heard he also likes girls, and even keeps a brainwashed slave by his side, abusing her and using her for food! Now the various countries are even offering little girls as sacrifices to avoid him entering their borders! And that Evil God is still traveling through the cities of the Demon Continent, forcing demon kings to hand over their treasures and little girls!"
The rumors from the passersby sounded somewhat exaggerated, but just from the name, it was obvious that an Evil God would not be a good person.
Even the Water God had been killed, and he had supposedly slaughtered an entire city simply for amusement, consumed human flesh, and then used healing magic to restore himself.... No matter how one looked at it, it really did sound like something an Evil God would do.
Among these rumors, the one Roxy heard most clearly was probably... that for some unknown reason, the Water God had wanted to kill Ash but had drawn out the Evil God, and the Evil God had casually slaughtered the entire city.
All of this left her mind completely blank.
