第１０５１堀：邪魔者の対処 (Part1)
**Chapter 1051: Dealing with the Nuisance**
**Side: Yuki**
Honestly... things in this world never go the way you want them to.
*"Listen, you little beings and your masters. I am a god, and I hereby declare the founding of a divine nation. You would do well to prostrate yourselves."*
With that proclamation, some idiot claiming to be a god suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Where did that one come from? Was she there from the start?"
"No, based on the readings, she manifested out of thin air. The monsters appeared in sync with her arrival. Judging by the situation, I conclude that she summoned them."
"What about the appraisal data?"
"Unfortunately, there are no people nearby. Please wait a moment."
True, there was no way to send anyone into the middle of the Zrable Empire and Hyne Empire armies.
"I wonder where on earth she came from?"
"It is strange. There were no such readings on the map, either."
As Seraria and Deryu pointed out, I had secured this entire region so that any unnecessary interference could be detected immediately. I had claimed a vast area, specifically to prevent enemy Dungeon Masters from reclaiming the land. Yet, despite no hostile Dungeon Master seizing the territory, a woman claiming to be a god had suddenly appeared in the heart of it—and was summoning monsters to boot.
Fortunately, thanks to that idiot’s sudden demand for the Zrable and Hyne armies to surrender, both sides had come to a complete halt. I suppose the sheer absurdity of her words was enough to stun them. Anyone would be dumbfounded if a woman suddenly descended from the sky, called herself a "god," and declared the founding of a nation.
"Why is it that everyone who calls themselves a 'god' is always like this?"
"Hey! Yuki, that makes it sound like I'm the same!"
*Well, Hairen, you are...* Before I could retort, Kagura and Enola immediately jumped in to smooth things over.
"Hairen-sama, please calm down. You are completely different."
"Yes, exactly. Hairen-sama is very kind..."
Fine. I’d rather avoid a pointless argument with that idiot and gather some information instead.
"Darling, if you've secured the area as a dungeon, can't we investigate it ourselves?"
"No, I’ve kept the authority for that region independent, with Steve and his group as the managers. I didn't connect it to Weed because of the risk of it being stolen, so neither I nor my wives have access rights. The data we’re seeing now is just information being relayed to us by Steve and the others."
That’s right. That district, which cost a massive amount of DP to secure, is a standalone territory held only by Steve’s group. Think of it like a computer disconnected from the network. I’ve made it so that even if someone manages to seize it, it’s just a money pit that ends up being more trouble than it’s worth. I didn't know what kind of interference might occur, so there was no way I was going to link that risk to Weed.
As I was thinking this, Milly, who was monitoring the feed, spoke up.
"Information received from Steve! Putting it on the monitor now!"
Everyone’s eyes turned to the screen. There, it read:
**Name:** Senal Deusia
**Age:** 1689
**Race:** God
**Gender:** Female
**Title:** Fallen Goddess who defied the Higher Gods; Target of the Middle God Faction’s capture order (1281 years since issuance)
**Skills:** Divine Majesty (Lower-level beings are prone to prostration), Hero Selection (Bestows power upon one person as a God’s Knight), Magic... and other minor, trivial skills.
**Level:** 724
Her stats were only slightly stronger than a human woman in the 700s.
*Status Ailment: Weakened due to lack of faith (Abilities reduced to one-third).*
"..."
*Hmm... so a big shot has finally shown up?*
"...What is this? She’s a bit underwhelming for a goddess, isn't she?"
Yeah, I wanted to agree with Deryu, but...
"Even Lilishe-sama is only around level 600, so I think that is quite high."
"Rurua is right. It’s unexpectedly high. When Aquenoki was revived using a core, he was only around 300 at best."
As Rurua said, the gods of this world are generally around level 500. In that sense, she’s slightly above average, but her stats are nothing more than a human at level 700—hardly a threat. Well, it says she’s weakened due to a lack of faith, but even at triple strength, it’s not much.
"Ah, I remember that one. Luna dealt with her personally, so I didn't really pay attention to her level."
True. She got kicked in a vital spot and went down immediately. Nobody would believe someone like that was a god, let alone bother checking their stats.
"Actually, thanks to you, Yuki-san, I’ve learned that levels are just a reference. It’s all about the tactics and strategies you build."
Eris is right. No matter how high the level, if there’s no substance, it’s not a threat. Conversely, you can't underestimate someone with a low level who has a solid plan.
"That’s true. And with that level and those stats, unless she has some hidden trump card, Steve and the others should be more than enough."
"I agree with Ratz. Steve and his men are battle-hardened veterans. They’ve already set their formation. There is no way they could lose to a goddess of that caliber."
"Indeed. I agree with Jessica. Though, what concerns me is the monsters that woman summoned..."
Just as Stasia said that, information on the monsters appeared on the monitor. Oh, she lived up to the "god" title—she had summoned some legitimately strong monsters.
*"Isn't that reasonable? She declared war in the middle of two armies; if she didn't bring out strong monsters, she’d be crushed instantly."*
"True. I agree with Dressa. Actually, Yuki, you’re the weird one here. Going out of your way to train goblins, orcs, and slimes to super-high levels... though I suppose it’s optimal when you consider the use of firearms."
As Aejil said that, all the wives looked at me with narrowed eyes and nodded in agreement.
"It couldn't be helped. At the start, I could only summon goblins and slimes. I had to train the forces I had. Anyway, putting me aside, the main force of the enemy monster army is 300 Minotaurs at level 150, with 250 Liches in the rear at level 90. Wow, she’s really splurging. A normal country would fall in an instant. Actually, this is bad."
"Indeed. Even though Zrable’s army is elite, their high-level soldiers barely reach 100. Their top combatant, Emperor Yupia, is only around 350. The Hyne Empire is about the same. It’ll be trouble if we don't provide backup. That goddess... it seems she’s actually thinking a little bit."
