Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Work of the God of Destruction

[ Lumine: "No, why are you all concerned about my age? Isn't the Group Leader even older?" ]

Lumine was flustered. Even as the Princess of the Abyss, she was quite sensitive about being teased over her incredibly old age.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "My apologies, I'm twenty this year." ]

[ Lumine: "Liar." ]

[ Uchiha Madara: "Impossible." ]

[ Haibara Ai: "20 to the power of N months, where N equals positive infinity?" ]

[ Kumoko: "I… I'll always believe the Group Leader." ]

Kumoko spoke haltingly, seemingly a bit timid.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "I had a good teacher, and with my diligent cultivation, I became a god at a young age. I'm considered young and accomplished, isn't that incredible?" ]

[ Lumine: "…" ]

[ Kikyo: "@World's No. 1 Princess, everyone is more concerned about the information about 'God,' so..." ]

Only now did she realize that the Group Leader seemed a bit narcissistic.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "That was just a joke. Don't worry, I'll tell you all the information you want to know." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "However, what I said is also true. I'm only twenty years old, unlike a certain young lady." ]

[ Lumine: "…" ]

You can just talk, why do you have to drag me into it?

However, the unreliable Group Leader, after teasing her, finally remembered to get back to business.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "My God of Destruction divine position comes from my teacher; it's considered inheriting his divine position." ]

[ Uchiha Madara: "God of Destruction?" ]

[ Lumine: "Inheriting?" ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "To put it simply, gods are roughly divided into two types. One type consists of powerful individuals with immense strength and longevity, respectfully referred to by others. The other type possesses certain restrictions, or rather, is limited by the rules of their divine position." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "For example, in Kikyo's world, those gods who rely on the incense and faith offerings; their power often comes from their believers. Sometimes they need to help believers fulfill their wishes to maintain their power through faith." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Or, like the Seven Archons in Teyvat, where Lumine resides, who are governed by Celestia." ]

World's No. 1 Princess: [ "There is no absolute boundary between the strength of the two." ]

[ Lumine: "I see, I roughly understand." ]

One type has no restrictions, and the other type has restrictions.

[ Kumoko: "Then, then… which type of god is the Group Leader?" ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Guess." ]

[ Kumoko: "Group Leader is so powerful, she must be the first type." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." ]

[ Kumoko: "?" ]

[ Haibara Ai: "The Group Leader should be the second type. In the previous conversation between the Group Leader and Evil God D, both mentioned doing similar things, which might indicate some kind of restriction on the Group Leader." ]

Adding to that, Beryl just said that her divine position was inherited, so the answer is easy to deduce.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "That's right. I'm about to go to work now. Do you want to watch the live broadcast?" ]

[ Kumoko: "What kind of work does Group Leader do? I'm very curious." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "My work… actually, Lumine should have some idea." ]

[ Lumine: "Roughly, but not certain." ]

Combining the conversation between Group Leader Beryl and Evil God D.

Universe, cleanup…

Then thinking about the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, honestly, to say she couldn't guess at all would be impossible.

However, her mood was very complicated right now.

[ Ding! World's No. 1 Princess has started a live broadcast. ]

A "ding" sound pulled Lumine's thoughts back.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Hello, hello, can you see me? My lovely group members?" ]

In the live broadcast, Beryl waved to everyone.

[ Uchiha Madara: "Uh, Group Leader, you changed your clothes." ]

At first glance, Uchiha Madara noticed the Group Leader's attire.

Uchiha Madara would never consider himself a pervert.

It was just that Beryl's previous remark, "I can defeat you without tearing my clothes" left a deep impression on Uchiha Madara.

It wasn't a casual dress, but a white short-sleeved top with stripes on the collar, and a robe-like skirt-pants.

Beryl greeted the group members with a smile, yet one could vaguely sense a solemn atmosphere.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "That's right, I definitely have to wear formal attire for work." ]

Beryl patted the pharaoh-style collar of her clothes.

Although the God of Destruction's attire didn't have overly strict requirements, she had to wear ancient Egyptian pharaoh attire during work to show respect for life.

[ Kumoko: "What a big difference! There's no weakness like before; she looks very cool." ]

Her waist-length snow-white hair, paired with the white patterned pharaoh-style short-sleeved robe, carried a hint of divinity and no lack of beauty.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, was I very weak before?" ]

[ Kumoko: "Ah, no, absolutely not." ]

Kumoko's timid words left Beryl, who was watching the public screen, quite speechless.

Was she that scary?

[ Uchiha Madara: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, where are you now? It's pitch black all around." ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "This is the universe, the boundless universe. Mr. Madara, you don't quite understand it, do you?" ]

[ Kumoko: "Eh? The universe! Group Leader, are you in outer space?" ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Yes, I'll set the live broadcast to panoramic view and brighten it a bit, then you can see your surroundings clearly." ]

After a short while, the screen seen by the group members changed to a third-person perspective.

And the originally dim universe also became much brighter.

[ Haibara Ai: "What a beautiful starry sky." ]

Even through the screen, she was still deeply amazed by the close-up view of the cosmic scene.

[ Kumoko: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader can actually fly in outer space, and she doesn't need to breathe?" ]

The outer space is a vacuum, you know! There's no air, and there's all sorts of radiation. It's dangerous no matter how you think about it.

At this time, shouldn't she be wearing a spacesuit or something?

Seeing Kumoko's words on the public screen, Beryl was honestly quite speechless.

Is Kumoko's thought process a bit off?

I'm already a god; is it strange to have the ability to fly in outer space?

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, as long as your strength is sufficient, flying in outer space is not difficult." ]

[ Kumoko: "Eh? Is that so? It seems to be." ]

Thinking that Beryl was a god, it wasn't strange for her to have some special abilities.

[ Uchiha Madara: "@World's No. 1 Princess, what is the universe?" ]

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "How should I explain it!" ]

Beryl used Instant Transmission to arrive next to a giant planet.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Do you see this planet? The Ninja World where you live is similar to a planet like this. In the universe, such planets are countless, and my work…" ]

Beryl slowly raised her hand, and a purple energy orb appeared in her palm.

Whoosh—

The energy orb rapidly flew towards the planet.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion occurred on the planet's surface.

The light emitted after the planet's destruction illuminated an area several light-years around.

After the explosion, the once solid planet had already turned into cosmic dust.

Then, Beryl typed a message into the public screen.

[ World's No. 1 Princess: "Are the fireworks beautiful? Isn't it spectacular?" ]
