Chapter II: A Moment of Calm

The day after we defeated the wicked god’s armies in both Egret and Eashen, we were notified by the Beastking of Mismede that one of the cities of Sandora had been destroyed. According to the testimony of some of the survivors, it was carried out by an army led by a blue horned Kyklops.

So it wasn’t a two-pronged attack, but a three-pronged one. Given it was blue, I could only assume that its pilot was the guy with the diver helmet. That would explain why he hadn’t appeared to support the other devout.

Each city in Sandora was self-governed, and many of those cities viewed themselves as autonomous. It was one of those larger coastal cities that were attacked.

The place was thoroughly destroyed; there was nothing left. The citizens who had managed to escape with their lives were in the depths of despair.

Perhaps I should note that I had a particularly bad reputation in the region.

Back when Sandora had been a kingdom, I had been the one who both freed its slaves from the nobles, and caused the downfall of its monarchy, so I wasn’t particularly liked by former nobles or slave traders there.

At the end of the day though, that was only because the King of Sandora had declared war on us. We accepted the fight, and the emancipation of the slaves was reparations, that was all.

Slaves were pretty much non-existent in Sandora nowadays, and apparently, many of the people who remained there resented me to varying degrees for that reason.

It seemed I was being suspected as the one behind the attack by the wicked devout, as well. Not that I could blame them for this one—the only country known to really own such massive mechs was Brunhild, after all.

For countries part of the alliance, it was easy enough to clear up any misunderstandings, but I couldn’t see my words being believed so easily over there. I had no obligation to help a country that viewed me in such a manner, but I would have wanted to help them if I could have.

“All I can do is somehow try to make up for it after the fact.”

“It is impossible to save absolutely everyone. All we can do is help where we can manage, no? Thankfully, your reach goes far. I believe you will be able to do better next time.”

Ugh, having my son attempt to console me over matters like this left me with complicated feelings. I couldn’t deny what he was saying, though.

There was still another problem, too: the twin divine blades.

As a result of being used continuously by someone who wasn’t a ward of the god who had created them, they had run out of divine essence. Those sacred treasures couldn’t be refueled with my divinity, so they were essentially just slightly more sturdy swords like this. There was no way they would be able to destroy another wicked vessel when the time came.

When I tried asking Karen the other gods what I should do, they said that my only option was to complete my own sacred treasure.
