Chapter 505: Whose Fault Is the Transfer Disaster? The Dragon God

The Six-Faced World isn't huge, but it isn't small either; flying at a slightly higher speed, Broly can circle the world in no time at all.

So, to him the Transfer Incident doesn't even count as a disaster — what happened in the morning was more or less neutralized for his household by the afternoon.

He retrieved Eris from near the Evil Spirit Forest on the Magic Continent, fetched Roxy from the Transfer Labyrinth on the Becalite Continent, teleported to Ars, capital of the Asura Kingdom, and found Sylphy being warmly hosted by Princess Ariel inside the palace.

Besides those three wives recovered first, Broly also retrieved Lilia and Aisha, mother and daughter who had been shifted to the Xilong Kingdom.

In the Wanglong Mountain Range he found Sylphy's parents, the Roland couple; in a small nation within the Strife Zone he found Eris's parents.

Also recovered from the Strife Zone at the same time were Rudeus, who had just turned ten yesterday, and his younger sister Norn.

Rudeus and Norn had been shifted onto a battlefield in the Strife Zone; in this loop Eris often dragooned this cheap cousin into serving as a sparring dummy, which actually gave the other party solid experience fighting people.

When Broly located him, Rudeus was clutching his sister and using magic to dart all over the battlefield just to stay alive.

The armies locked in combat were anything but friendly to this troublemaker — both sides attacked him; only because Rudeus's escape magic was good did he avoid dying before Broly found him.

"Ugh~"

Rudeus and his sister were brought back by Broly.

"How long are you going to keep retching, you bastard?"

Looking somewhat displeased at her useless cousin dry-heaving nonstop, Eris barked a line at him.

"Sorry, but I really can't control it, Cousin — you don't know, when Broly-san found us he just dropped an energy bullet down.

A whole crowd was instantly vaporized; when I was blown into the sky I saw people on the battlefield's edge who were nearly charred but still alive, and the moment I picture that scene I can't help but..."

As he spoke, Rudeus clamped his mouth shut again — it's not that his mentality is weak; after all, in his previous life he was a shut-in NEET, and being able to use magic against strangers trying to kill him and his sister was already his limit; where would he have witnessed thousands of people erased in an instant?

Fortunately, retching aside, Rudeus didn't forget to beg Broly to help search for his parents.

However, because Broly wasn't familiar enough with Paul and his wife, his ki perception took a full half-hour before he retrieved Paul and Zenith from the Great Forest on the Milis Continent and the outskirts of the Milis Holy Kingdom's capital.

As for the others, some Broly didn't know well enough to find, while some had already hit the ground dead — even knowing them was useless because they were already dead.

Of course, with Orsted, a friend who can rewind time, it doesn't really matter if these people died from the Transfer Disaster.

Once time rewinds they'll all be alive again in the new loop, so Broly didn't waste more time searching for people he wasn't close to.

Right now the most important thing is actually to figure out why this Transfer Disaster occurred.

"Orsted, do you have any leads on this Transfer Disaster?"

Broly asked the Dragon God directly.

"It seems to have been caused by that red magic power cluster we saw in previous loops."

Orsted answered.

"Any other leads?"

Broly knew about the red magic power cluster too.

But because it was visible yet intangible, he hadn't paid it much mind.

He just didn't expect it to develop into the current situation.

"As for other leads, there's probably only this guy in strange clothes I discovered at the exact center of the disaster when I rushed over after it happened."

Orsted pointed behind him at the black-long-straight-haired girl lying perfectly still on the ground like a corpse.

"Eh?!"

Everyone looked over; Rudeus, now recovered, let out a surprised sound.

"What's wrong?"

Broly looked at the one making the strange noise and asked directly.

"This looks like a hospital gown from my previous world."

Rudeus answered.

"So she's an otherworld transmigrator?"

Just from the back it's not too certain.

But when the girl was turned over and her face revealed, Rudeus nodded with certainty.

"Broly-san, we both know this person — before we transmigrated here, weren't we hit by a truck together? She was one of the people hit then; you should remember her too, right?"

Rudeus's words made Broly fall silent, because he had zero impression.

He usually doesn't keep strangers he has no connection with in mind.

"I think I may know how this Transfer Disaster came about."

Dragon God Orsted suddenly said.

"How did it come about?"

Broly looked over; he still hadn't grasped the situation.

"The Six-Faced World has a property of maintaining its internal balance; when this world suddenly loses a portion of energy or matter — or something else we can't perceive but that exists for the world itself — the Six-Faced World will spontaneously draw matter, energy, or something else from other places, such as other worlds, to fill the missing part..."

Orsted began explaining; in ancient times the Six-Faced World also suffered Transfer Disasters, and through Laplace's Notes discovered in ruins he is quite clear on why they occur.

"Conversely, if a foreign object from another world enters this world, then to maintain internal stability the Six-Faced World will also eliminate some people or things that originally existed within it — this is the cause of the vast majority of Transfer Disasters."

"So this person is the culprit who turned my territory into ruins?"

Having heard Orsted's words, Eris's gaze toward the black-long-straight-haired girl on the ground instantly turned hostile.

"That possibility can't be ruled out, but the other party might also be innocent, because Rudeus's previous world had no magic or such; actively transmigrating here seems impossible — on the contrary..."

Orsted paused there, first glancing at Rudeus, then at Broly, before continuing: "On the contrary, it's possible some bastard in this world summoned her from another world, thereby causing this calamity."

Orsted didn't finish his thought, but Rudeus understood — he was saying this Transfer Disaster might also involve Rudeus himself or Broly.

Thinking of the people who died in this Transfer Disaster, Rudeus clamped his mouth again and dry-heaved.

"Say, why not just wake this guy up and ask her directly? Then we'd know if she's the mastermind behind this Transfer Disaster, right?"

Broly prefers simple methods and put forward his idea.

"Mm."

Everyone accepted this simple and direct method, but when waking up the girl on the ground, a problem arose: no matter how they called her, she wouldn't wake up.

"Wait, Broly-san, we should have been in a car accident together that night. I myself should have died, but the other person might have been rammed into the hospital and suffered a head injury, which is why she can't wake up."

Just as Broly was preparing to lift the person on the ground and slap them, Rudeus, who had just recovered from dry heaving again, stopped him. He made a certain inference about the situation of the familiar yet stranger girl with bandages on her head lying on the ground.

"Holy power is delicious food……"

Hearing these words, Orsted beside her didn't waste words, releasing a powerful healing magic toward the black long straight girl on the ground.

Under the effect of the healing magic, the girl's fingers twitched first, then her eyelashes trembled, and suddenly she opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and gasped in big mouthfuls.

"Am I dreaming?"

After catching her breath, the girl looked around somewhat confusedly, at a group of strangers she didn't know but who were all paying attention to her.

The perspective returned to modern Rudeus's previous life when he was rammed to death by a big truck; the other two boys and girls who were rammed did not die and were sent to the ambulance.

During this time, for Nanahoshi Shizuka herself, it was as if she had suddenly lost consciousness, and when she woke up again, what lay before her was pitch black darkness, while her body was completely out of her control.

"Beep beep……"

"Hemostat……"

Midway, she heard such sounds, which made her realize she might be undergoing rescue.

"The patient's life has been saved, but we can't guarantee when she will wake up, so please prepare for the worst……"

"Ah, Shizuka, you must wake up, waaaah……"

It was her mother's crying voice. The girl felt panic, but wanted to make a sound and couldn't make any no matter what.

In the time after that, she sank into darkness where she occasionally heard some sounds and didn't know how long had passed.

She thought it would always be like this, but suddenly she felt as if she had come to another place; her nose didn't smell the hospital scent, but rather a fresh earthy scent.

Even the hazy feeling made her realize her posture had changed from lying flat to lying down.

Afterward, someone came over and walked to her side; it was Orsted.

Behind that came some conversation in a language she couldn't understand, sounding around her and reaching her ears.

Oh no, there was one voice she could understand, but the content of what the other person said was something she couldn't comprehend.

Immediately after came the present moment: the girl had been healed of her injuries and woke up, but didn't know if she was dreaming.

"You're not dreaming; this is an Isekai."

Rudeus understood the girl's words and communicated with her using the language of his previous life.

"Isekai……"

The girl repeated these words, her lips opening and closing, not knowing what to say.

"Do you know how you came here?"

Broly asked directly.

"I, I should have been rammed into a vegetative state by a car, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in this place……"

The girl recalled what she knew, then began to cry.

But now, it was actually better than being in a vegetative state.

It was just that for a while, she couldn't accept the fact that she had left her original world.

Broly and Rudeus asked her some more questions about transmigration, but the girl just shook her head while crying.

This made even those around who couldn't understand her words know that she was completely clueless.

"This person doesn't know, but surely someone should be responsible for this, right?"

Broly frowned. Although Transfer Calamity hadn't caused too much impact on his home, and the current time point was already approaching the day of the time rewind, his home in Buena Village was gone; there had to be some explanation.

"I think this might be the work of the Human God."

Just then Orsted spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he threw the pot for this Transfer Calamity onto the head of that damn Human God.

But speaking of which, that Human God fellow really did have this motive and capability.

"First, that fellow absolutely wants to strip you out of this world."

Second, in ancient times, He had once used Transfer Calamity to harm our Dragon Race……"

The girl who had been transferred over was tossed to one side, and Broly felt more and more that Orsted made sense.

Immediately, he moved away from this side and roared out that Human God fellow.

As expected, the Human God of this loop appeared immediately.

He had always been paying attention to the situation on Broly's side.

"This wasn't done by me."

And upon meeting, the tiny Human God complained.

"But you have this motive and capability."

Broly said directly.

"I admit I have motive, but as for capability, absolutely not. In fact, until now I still don't know how you sneaked into the Six-Faced World, but what can be certain is that wanting to transfer and drive away the current you would only make the world itself misunderstand that it lost a huge amount of energy or substance, and the resulting influence would be to make this world pull from the Outside World enough matter and energy to destroy this world."

"Yes, I do have some small schemes, but I'm not stupid. If the remaining Ren Jian were destroyed, I myself would be finished too."

The Human God said a lot of things, trying to explain that he had nothing to do with this Transfer Calamity, but Broly didn't listen to his explanation.

"Since you say all this, then tell me who caused this Transfer Calamity. If you can't say, then I'll treat it as you doing it."

"Ah, why like this?!"

"Just like this, because your reputation with me is very low."

The Human God with Future Sight had his mouth corner twitch. He naturally knew Broly wanted to use his own Future Sight to find the mastermind behind this Transfer Calamity.

But he couldn't do anything about this; if he didn't help find the mastermind, he in this loop would most likely be treated as the culprit.

"Fine, I'll help you find them, won't I? I just hope you can give me more trust."

The Human God wasted no words, beginning to use Future Sight to trace the source of this Transfer Calamity.

Then, He was stunned, because He found the accomplice who led Broly into the Six-Faced World.

"The source of the Transfer Calamity is not in the past or present, but in the future, in the world eighty-four years from now, a Regeneration God Miko was born into this world."

She used her Divine Power to launch the capability of changing the past to save a boy summoned from a Different World.

And this capability is embodied in the past at this time; that person is the culprit who caused this Transfer Calamity."

After the Human God finished speaking, Broly looked at Him with an expression as if looking at an idiot: "You say the person from the future is the culprit, so why don't you say that I am the culprit?!"

"No, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go find the Demon Emperor Kishirika, who has already been resurrected."

"That guy has the capability to grant others Magic Eyes. You find her and let her grant you the Magic Eye of Prediction, and I can guide you to see the images of the future."
