What's going on now?

There is no God.

The Omnipotent Holy Light Equis is a fabrication of the first Pope.

As proof, the Psalm of the Coming Holy will end now.

I am Cardinal Ahide Alobo Agatze.

I have come to bestow upon you the truth.

The Psalm of the Coming Holy end?!

Ridiculous. Nonsense from a fool who fell into heresy.

But there is no one on the stage.

King Anos, what is going on?

Perhaps I should ask.

Heretic Ahide,

where is the Singer of the Psalm?

Where is Minister Elnora?

The Singer of the Psalm has never existed.

How do I know? Because I became her with my magic.

Such a grave sin!

The Psalm of the Coming Holy is over!

Now the spell that the Misfit cast upon me, this nightmare, will end!

Now, awaken!

Awaken!

Why do I not awaken?!

Repent for your sins!

Out of my way!

Stop!

Gijel.

What?!

Have you still not realized the truth, Ahide?

A fake?

Are you all right Ilina?

I am fine.

Right now, we must perform the Psalm of the Coming Holy!

But Captain, we cannot find someone

as great as the Singer of the Psalm on such short notice!

There is one way.

Please, Ellen.

You would be able to fulfill the role.

Huh?

But we don't have time to rehearse...

The song of your kingdom is fine.

The Psalm of the Coming Holy is a ritual which bears a new song to Giorheise.

Please, I beg of you.

I would like to see how the people of the underground kingdom accept your song.

I understand.

Please listen to our song,

the song of the Demon King who seeks peace.

Huh? Those girls...

We apologize for the delay.

We are the Dilhade Holy Demon King Choir.

The Singers of the Psalm!

Ah, God!

Is this really all right?

Our kingdom is in a distant land.

In our kingdom, there is a king known as the Demon King.

The Demon King told us to see how the people of this kingdom live.

There is something that we discovered soon after we arrived.

The people of this kingdom love song.

Our kingdom is the same.

The Demon King loves song as well.

This is a song so you may know more of our kingdom and of the Demon King.

Please listen.

Hymn of the Demon King number six: "Neighbor."

That sounds like it might be okay...

"Qu Ick" is an ancient magic word

which means "unreasonably fun."

To me,

it means "I can't understand it, but it's fun, so whatever."

In our kingdom, we put our voices together and sing.

Please sing together with us.

I do think it is a wonderful song...

Naturally, any song is a holy song at the Psalm of the Coming Holy.

It is a holy song, but it is somewhat irreverent...

No, I mean the interpretation...

Settle yourself! That is why the authorities on hymns,

the Eight Song Sages are here!

Qu Ick...

What depth in a word!

The first contact between kingdoms ignorant of one another...

We always hesitate to open the forbidden door between them!

If you open your heart, the dawn of a new world will always come!

That is a teaching not in the scriptures!

This melody makes my heart dance!

What a wonderful song!

The Eight Song Sages truly have such deep wisdom!

Everyone, let's all sing a song so fun that you can't understand it

with so much fun that you can't understand it!

Ahide appeared?

Yes. I followed the trail of his mana...

...but it seems he left this as a decoy.

Can't get enough of this song.

Would you mind coming to sing for us sometime?

Be careful. He is one of the Selected Eight,

the Sword Emperor who rules over Agatha.

I am the King of Agatha, one of the three underground kingdoms,

Dietrich Creitzen Agatha.

Let's have a crusade with no hard feelings Demon King.

You are quite a dauntless man.

Unfortunately, I am somewhat busy at the moment.

Ahide, right? I have some business with him too.

He stole the Dragon King from my kingdom.

I need to settle the score with him.

But when I sent a messenger to the Pope, I received no response.

Meeting you is the best approach I have.

I do not see the reasoning.

Dietrich is a prophet.

He can see countless futures and choose the correct path.

This is the God of the Future, Naphta.

The Selection God who selected me.

In other words, by meeting me,

through some means, you will arrive at the Pope.

You have seen such a future?

That's right.

To give another prophecy,

the real Ahide will soon appear at the Sanctuary of the Divine Dragon.

Hey. Looks like you had a free pass while I was out.

D-Dietrich?!

Curse you!

Well? How's my prophecy?

Quite impressive.

Now, I will turn your other prophecy into reality.

I am going to meet with the Pope. Will you come with me?

That would be excellent.

But if you could see the future,

why did you allow Ahide to steal the Dragon King?

Being able to see too far is also a problem.

That was the best choice to avoid future danger.

How far into the future can you see with your prophecy?

Let me see.

I can prophesize to the end of the end of the underground.

Pope Golroana, I have brought him.

You serve well, Bishop Milano.

I am Pope Golroana Dero Giordal,

one of the Selected Eight, with the title of Savior.

I have heard that you desired an audience.

Dietrich Creitzen Agatha.

You are aware that your Ahide stole the Dragon King from my kingdom.

You will demonstrate that Giordal was not involved in this act.

You will not question how he will be punished.

If you do not, then we will have a war.

Ahide is no longer a believer in the faith.

I swear upon my god.

That is excellent.

I have finally made it to the top!

Pope Golroana, hear me!

There is no God!

The Omnipotent Holy Light Equis is but a fabrication!

Why?

Why does the nightmare not end?

Ahide, I do not know what spell was cast upon you,

but this is reality.

Reality?!

Then the acts of faith which I have conducted daily?! My rank?!

You have received your just deserts.

No!

Forgive me!

I am a pitiful sheep who was shown nightmares by this Demon King of Tyranny!

Please! Please bestow upon me salvation!

I have repented for my sins!

Regardless of the nightmare,

a true believer would continue to have wholehearted faith in God.

Is that not true?

You are excommunicated.

You will never set foot in this kingdom again.

You heard him.

You're going to be offered as a sacrifice for stealing the Dragon King.

S-Sacrifice?!

God would never allow such injustice to...

Not something that someone who doesn't believe in God should say.

There is one more topic to discuss.

The teaching that has been passed down from Pope to Pope.

Can you tell me what is in it?

The teaching is for saving the devout.

It will not be possible to save them if others were to know it.

We'll see about that.

Well, you have your own dogma to uphold.

Then why don't you open the Holy Gates and have a talk face to face?

A talk about the future of the underground, without reservations.

I understand what you ask of me.

But before I answer you, let us ask what the Misfit seeks.

I want to know two things. First, regarding the Judgment Selection,

and second, the location of the God of Records Livarshnet.

I understand.

God said, you are to choose which advances by your own means.

The Savior will take the hand of the chosen.

That is too bad Dietrich.

No need to be greedy. You can return home for today.

We don't know which of us it's going to be.

If you do not know that I will be chosen, you cannot be a prophet.

Now, we'll see about that.

Then choose how we will choose.

We can't have a crusade here.

How about we each fight the other's Selection God

with whoever lasts longer as the winner?

I do not mind.

This man is strong. Fight with all your might.

I will do as you say.

King of the demons, I prophesize.

When these eyes open, Naphta will see all of the future.

The future of your victory will fall from your hands,

and the worst day will ravage you.

Then I will prophesize for you as well, god who presides over the future.

The moment you open your eyes, your defeat will be certain.

Sleep frozen, covered in icicles.

Snow, dance and become a sword.

It rends, and you freeze.

I'll be taking that.

It consumed my mana?

I hear that the Sword Emperor of Agatha is a dragonborn.

That's right. For whatever reason, I was born of a dragon.

As a result, I have strength beyond my needs.

The judgment of the Future World Crystal, Kandaquizorte, will come.

The judgment of the future has come.

Your source will be sentenced to piercing.

Naphta restricts the futures which may be.

You could not grasp the spear.

I see.

There may be a chance in some hundreds of millions

that I fail to grasp it.

So you restricted the future to that using the crystal.

But you should look further into the future than that, God of the Future.

Before the blood of the Demon King which spurts from his source

corrodes Kandaquizorte into nothing.

Perhaps it is time to take this seriously.

Naphta declares, that so long as the present exists,

the future can be restored infinitely.

To destroy the Future World Crystal, all possibilities must be destroyed.

Another world which may have been for you.

Offender, you are sentenced to a restricted world.

This world has been restricted to the worst possible outcomes for you.

Interesting. Come future. Fight me.

It has been quite some time since I bled this much.

You said that only the worst possible outcomes for me will occur.

The worst day will ravage me.

That is quite an awful power.

But if you are strong, then there is a spell which I may cast as well.

No matter what spell you cast,

it will only result in the worst possible outcome.

That is fine.

If I used it in a normal world, the world itself would be destroyed.

Egil Grone Angdroa!

Did you think that the worst possible outcome for me would not be victory?

Naphta declares defeat.

There was not a single future in which you would be defeated.

You purposely did not open your eyes so that you would not see that future.

No number of billions of miracles will reach the worst for me.

The light of regeneration heals my wounds.

The healing is slow.

You may be a god, but with a half-devoured source,

you won't heal your wounds so easily.

But regardless, I lost.

There is no need for you to state your defeat.

I have lost.

Unfortunately, this was a contest against him over there.

You made Arcana admit defeat. We do not have a conclusion.

It's clear to everyone that you won against Naphta first.

If I call it a draw because the conditions weren't met,

I couldn't call myself the King of Agatha.

You take defeat graciously.

I am interested in your kingdom.

I'll receive you well if you come to Agatha.

A question for you. If you could see the future,

then you knew that you could not win this contest.

Why did you challenge me?

Well, this is the trial of Naphta, God of the Future.

Suppose there were a battle which you could not win.

If you knew the future and that you could not possibly win, what would you do?

Fleeing without the challenge is not what a prophet does.

There is no meaning for a prophecy which cannot be reversed.

Magnificent resolve, King of the underground.

I'll leave a prophecy about what weighs on your mind.

The Selection God who selected the Misfit Anos Voldigoad

was the Goddess of Creation Militia.

One more as a bonus.

If you fight Golroana, you should destroy him completely.

If you don't want to put Dilhade in danger that is.

You surely know what I am going to do.

We'll meet again in Agatha, Demon King.

Bring your choir when you visit us.

Enter, Misfit Anos Voldigoad.

You are Golroana?

Please forgive my discourtesy.

For the sake of this kingdom, I cannot cease praying for one moment.

I do not mind. Continue.

You wished to know about the Judgment Selection

and the location of the God of Records Livarshnet.

Yes. Primarily the latter.

The God of Records rests within our kingdom.

They are the great order which will bring salvation to the underground.

They will not awaken until that time comes.

I do not know what disasters await if they are awakened before that time.

They may not enjoy waking from slumber, but they can be soothed.

Is being able to do so, a good reason to awaken the God of Records?

Then there is no problem if the God of Records agrees to being awakened?

How do you intend to gain agreement from a sleeping god?

I will determine that later.

Where is the God of Records?

That is known only in the teaching passed down from Pope to Pope.

I cannot teach it to you.

However, if you return the god which you have plundered from us,

I will share it with you.

Unfortunately, I have a promise with Arcana. I cannot break it.

Arcana is necessary for the rebirth of the underground.

She is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Creation Militia.

Where did you learn this?

From the Omnipotent Holy Light Equis.

Child of a dragon,

I was not plundered.

I journey together with him of my own will.

In order to end the Judgment Selection.

Selection God, by disposing of your name,

you must have forgotten your role as a god.

Please think over your decision.

The Judgment Selection is a ritual for salvation.

Salvation is a beautiful word,

but it seems that some are suffering for it.

We have our own dogma which we follow.

I hope that a demon who lives comfortably on the surface

will not disparage our ways underground.

If this were only an underground matter, then you may have done as you wished,

but one of your subordinates invaded the surface.

Ahide's actions are regrettable.

I apologize deeply for them.

Swear to God that it will never happen again.

An apology is the greatest concession I can make.

I do not wish to aggravate the situation,

but I cannot prioritize anything over the teachings of the great God.

If God says to, you will declare war on Dilhade without a second thought.

That is not what I consider a concession.

Then allow me to propose a solution.

State it.

Would Dilhade join the faith of Giordal?

That would resolve all problems.

Then Giordal can subjugate themselves to me.

I will solve all of the problems of the underground.

That is a foolish proposition.

We cannot possibly obey anyone other than God.

It seems that you understand.

Your proposal is the equivalent to us.

Stand. Perhaps you will listen to me once you lose in the Judgment Selection.

"The God of Records Livarshnet."
