Volume 10 Chapter 264

Troubles of the Creator God

「This is… …getting a bit out of hand」
In the divine realm, a certain god murmured.
The old man with pure white hair and beard was the Creator God who crafted this world.
Approaching him was a half-naked man with deep blue hair, the Sea God who ruled the seas of this world.
「Old man, you called for me?」
「Oh, Sea God. Sorry for summoning you」
The half-naked man is the Sea God, the one who rules over the seas of this world.
「It’s rare. When was the last time you called for me? A few thousand years ago?」
「…….It’s about to get serious」
「Huh? Old man, using the word 『serious』… …Does that mean this world will end tomorrow?」
「If we don’t do anything, it might」
「……Seriously?」
Although the Sea God spoke half-jokingly, the Creator God didn’t deny his words.
「Take a look at this」
The Creator God gestured with his staff, and an image appeared in the space before them.
There stood a woman.
A slender woman with horns growing from her temples.
The moment he saw her, the Sea God’s expression turned stern.
「W-Who is she!?」
The power she held was astonishing.
Unbelievable.
Her power could reach the gods.
The Sea God concluded.
「Old man, who on earth is she?」
「……She’s the Demon Lord」
「T-This is the Demon Lord? That idiot… …What did he create!?」
The Sea God thought the Demon Lord was created by the Evil God.
And he thought the Creator God summoned him to cooperate in defeating this Demon Lord.
「This one possesses the strength that only us gods should be dealing with. To think there’s someone who can defeat them—」
Suddenly, the image of a human crossed the Sea God’s mind.
「Hey, old man. I know a human who can defeat this one」
「What?」
「I could even ask that person to take on the task of defeating this Demon Lord, if you want?」
「Is there really a human who can defeat this Demon Lord?」
「Yeah, there is. They’re formidable. They can fight me on equal terms in a human body」
「They can fight you on equal terms……?」
「That’s right. Their name is Haruto—」
「Oh, Haruto, huh」

「……Old man, you know Haruto?」
「Well, yeah. Sometimes, he comes up here」
「 —-What?」
The words of the Creator God made the Sea God doubt his ears.
This was the divine realm.
Even among the gods, only a select few could enter the Creator’s domain.
Yet—-
「Not too long ago, he came to report, 『he planted a World Tree in Glendale』」
「T-The World Tree? But isn’t it impossible to grow outside of Alheim due to insufficient magic……?」
「Well, it’s him. Because it’s Haruto」
「…….」
「What’s wrong? I thought the balance of the world was in danger when you said there’s a human capable of defeating that Demon Lord」
「Is Haruto…… a human?」
「Don’t be foolish. I don’t consider him human. He casually spreads enough magic to grow a World Tree outside of Alheim, and he comes here with the same ease as greeting a neighbor from the next house. I can’t recognize him as a human」
「Well, that’s…… true, but…..」
「Besides……」
At that moment, a magic circle appeared next to the Demon Lord. From that circle emerged a human familiar to the Sea God as well.
「That Demon Lord is Haruto’s wife」
「Huhhhhh!?」
While watching the Demon Lord Citri cling to Haruto, who had come to pick her up via teleportation, the Sea God shouted.
However, his astonishment wasn’t solely due to the fact that a Demon Lord rivaling the gods had become Haruto’s wife.
「Haruto, why didn’t you tell me!? We’re comrades, right!? Why didn’t you tell me you got married!?」
The Sea God was furious that Haruto hadn’t reported his marriage to him.
「So, she’s on good terms with you too?」
「……He’s the only man I acknowledge. There’s nothing as enjoyable as fighting Haruto」
Though the Sea God was angry about not being informed of the marriage, perhaps remembering his battles with Haruto, he couldn’t help but smirk.
「 —-So, what’s the big deal? If that Demon Lord is Haruto’s wife, it’s not like the world’s in danger, right?」
「Indeed. It’s not the Demon Lord that’s the problem. As long as Haruto is by her side, there should be no danger」
「Then what’s the issue?」
「That Demon Lord unleashed her full power only once」
That was when Citri released her power in an attempt to kill Yoko and Shiro.
「As a result, the contract with the gods of another world was activated」
「Huh, so that means……」
「That’s right. Heroes from another world will come. Moreover, those heroes will be capable of defeating that Demon Lord with cheats……」
「So, so, does that mean the world is in danger……?」
「Don’t you understand? There’s a possibility of a battle Armageddon in this world between the monstrous hero capable of defeating that Demon Lord and Haruto, who will protect her」
