210: Divine Cat Mii-chan, Is the God Just a Clumsy One?
I can’t help but think that the god seems a bit clumsy.
It seems like the concerns of the Flame King are mostly about not being able to drink alcohol. He asked me in detail about the distilled liquor I’m planning to start soon. So, I told him that I’m going to make it.
More than that, I want to find a way to get here. When I mentioned this to the Flame King, he said he would create a transfer gate for me. He really is versatile… that dimensional dragon. I watched as the Flame King casually wrote something on paper.
“If you burn this at the place where you want to create the gate, the gate will appear. Only those who are touching Nero and his followers will be able to pass through.”
This is also something I can’t show to anyone. I’ll make it in the cave of the Fang King. Since no one can enter the back, it’s safe to build it there.
Changing the subject, I decided to ask the Flame King, the dimensional dragon, a question while cheering him on.
“Do you have spatial-temporal skills, Flame King?”
“Oh, did it show up in Nero’s appraisal? Normally, it shouldn’t be visible.”
“No, I can’t see it.”
“Then how do you know about spatial-temporal skills?”
“I recently learned a spatial-temporal skill.”
“What!? That’s impossible… Spatial-temporal skills are the highest-level skills. Even heroes can’t learn those top-tier skills. It was rare for even the upper-tier divine beings who aren’t seen nowadays to acquire them…”
“What kind of skill is it?”
“……”
Huh? He went silent.
“Flame King?”
“It’s a powerful skill… That’s why, using it is not permitted. I’ve sealed most of it myself.”
“Is it really such an incredible skill?”
“Well, with Nero’s lifespan, you won’t reach that level of proficiency. The transfer gate I mentioned earlier is also a function of that skill. If you use that skill carelessly, you’ll be considered a god enemy, even if your followers are nearby, so be careful. It has nothing to do with good or evil.”
“Mii…”
Oh dear, that’s scary. To be considered a god enemy just for using it.
“For example, what kind of abilities would be bad?”
“Connecting paths to other worlds.”
In other words, does that mean I can also summon beings from other worlds?
“Does that mean the one who performed the summoning this time also had spatial-temporal skills?”
“That guy had a degraded version of the spatial-temporal skill, but it was an audacious skill nonetheless. Spatial-temporal skills can create paths to any world and can also close them. That is the work of a god. It’s an act not permitted for us. Well, there are various other bad abilities as well.”
“Why did I end up learning it, I wonder?”
“Come to think of it, your body was made by a god, right? So it’s only natural, I suppose?”
Clumsy god… didn’t you say you wouldn’t give any powers that could affect this world? Is it okay to learn for yourself? No, that’s definitely not right. This is the origin of the clumsy god’s clumsiness.
“Mii~?”
The Flame King is drinking his ale like it’s water.
“It’s a waste of treasure…”
“It’s a power that’s too much for humans. But still, it’s best to train and raise your proficiency. Once your proficiency goes up, you can transfer freely. Only within this world, though. After all, it’s the highest-level skill in the spatial-temporal category. There are various abilities that will be useful for you, Nero.”
“So I can learn to transfer?”
“You can. It’s convenient.”
He says that by raising proficiency in spatial-temporal skills, you can also use abilities like storage and spatial awareness (an upgraded version of detecting presences). I’ve already been using storage. Apparently, I can also speed up or slow down my own time, depending on my proficiency. I’ve been told I could even stop time, but if I’m prepared to become a god enemy, I should give it a try… unfortunately.
In short, it seems that if I have a significant impact on this world, I’ll become a god enemy, but personal use that doesn’t affect those around me is permitted. It’s definitely worth training.
After that, I learned about training methods for spatial-temporal skills, and before I knew it, it was time to go home.
“Since we have the dimensional gate, shouldn’t you just use that?”
“That’s true, but I don’t want to be suspiciously scrutinized, so I’ll go home today.”
“Mii~”
“I see? Well, it can’t be helped. Come again.”
There were many shocking things, but it was a fun time.
“Mii~”
