Chapter 616: The Nine-Tails' Revival: It's All Because You Native Gods Are Lazy

To stop the Nine-Tails' revival, one must understand why the Nine-Tails revives.

The revival of the Nine-Tails in the Food Spirit World is because the purification speed of the Sinful Souls by Naraku, this purification system at the bottom of the Great Spirit Vein, cannot keep up with the speed at which Sinful Souls fall in, subsequently potentially causing the entire Reincarnation System to clog and freeze.

And to avoid the Reincarnation System being jammed to death by Sinful Souls, the Nine-Tails, a great monster intending to solve the problem of Naraku's purification speed failing to keep up with the falling pollution speed of Sinful Souls by devouring the souls of all humanity, appeared.

"In other words, as long as the Sinful Souls gradually overflowing from the Great Spirit Vein's Naraku are resolved, the Nine-Tails will have no reason to revive.

But this problem, while we, as Guardians of the Great Spirit Vein, know of it, we have no way to solve it.

However, while we have no solution, perhaps someone as powerful as you, Broly-sama, might have a way."

The Land God in the guise of an old man was now truly confessing everything he knew.

"Then does this count as me having cleaned up Naraku's Sinful Souls?"

Broly pointed at the massive cavity behind him, ground out by his Spirit Power Ball, and asked.

"You merely shattered the Sinful Souls, but the malice and resentment were not purified; they were merely ground into even finer malice and resentment, still unable to re-enter the normal Great Spirit Vein cycle, so it does not count as true purification..."

The old Land God spoke carefully, but in fact, if Broly destroyed the entire Great Spirit Vein and Naraku, that would indeed stop the Nine-Tails' revival, after all, if the Reincarnation System is gone, the purification procedure within it could no longer activate.

"Purification, huh..."

This is not Broly's forte, but he knows who excels at it, and that person should currently be sleeping while holding his physical body.

"Yes, I should have a solution. Then let's talk about the resurrection matter."

Old Land God: "..."

You still care about the resurrection?

"Sorry, we truly don't know. How about it, Broly-sama, you give up?"

As he said this, the old Land God's heart was in his throat; he was fully prepared to be killed again.

The result? Broly merely glanced at him, apologized for suddenly attacking them tonight, left a line about visiting again later, and directly left.

Returning to his physical body, Aqua was already fast asleep.

The slight earthquake just now didn't wake her; Broly was held tightly in her arms.

Feeling the soft touch belonging to his Master on his face, Broly didn't wake her, raised his arm to embrace his Master's somewhat plump waist, and pressed his body close into Aqua's embrace.

He slept until broad daylight; Aqua felt her face was somewhat wet, then woke from the pillow soaked by her own drool during sleep.

"Good morning, Aqua Master~"

6:11 AM, Broly lifted his head and greeted his awake Master.

"Is the resurrection matter settled? Or were you deceived by the native gods here?"

Aqua wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, rolled over, pressed her Disciple onto her body, and asked.

"Probably no deception; it's just that the souls stuffed back in need processing."

With his head pillowed on Aqua's chest, Broly recounted everything he experienced in the Great Spirit Vein last night, finally asking the Goddess Master beneath him: "Aqua Master, I wonder if you can help purify this world's Naraku?"

"That's no problem."

Although having to work on vacation made Aqua somewhat displeased, this was, after all, a request from her cute sole Disciple.

"However, this is obviously a palliative, not a cure. Rather than a palliative, I have a proposal that is both a palliative and a cure."

Aqua said.

"Eh?"

Broly looked at this Goddess Master in surprise.

"What, don't you believe in your Master?"

Seeing his astonished gaze, Aqua spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"No, I am very willing to believe you, Aqua Master."

Broly replied immediately.

Of course, whether what he thought in his heart matched what he said with his mouth is unknown.

After all, his Goddess Master, in terms of being unreliable, is always reliably so.

"Hmph, you dare not meet my gaze; you definitely suspect your Master."

Aqua sat up; Broly sat on his Master's thighs.

"Broly, listen well. No matter what, your Master is a Main God of the Heavens; the work my subordinates, a host of Goddesses and Angels, do the most is guiding dead souls to the Reincarnation Cycle.

So, for matters like the Reincarnation Cycle, this world definitely has no native god who can compare with me, understand?"

"Uh, I understand, Aqua Master, but I don't know what your palliative-and-cure proposal is?"

"Heh heh, that is naturally to completely redo this world's old, backward Reincarnation Cycle System!"

In Aqua's view, compared to the Heavens she resides in, where Goddesses and Angels receive every dead soul and judge them to heaven or reincarnation into the human path, animal path, etc., based on their life's merits — this kind of high-efficiency, anthropomorphic Reincarnation Cycle system — this world's Great Spirit Vein and Naraku's Reincarnation Cycle system is simply the representative of low efficiency. (KonoSuba World, evil souls should belong to Hell)

Of course, more importantly, she, this Heaven's Goddess, can only be a slacking king in the Heavens, while this world's native gods can lie flat on their world's Reincarnation System, doing nothing, yet continue their existence.

This situation of only taking a salary without working makes this Heaven's Slacking King Main God feel envy, jealousy, and hate — oh no, it should be said to be the indignation of a benevolent Goddess.

So, Aqua decided to build for this world's native gods an ultimate 996 platform where they can shine and generate heat, just like the Heavens before she met Broly, when no vacation existed.

"Why can't this world's Naraku's purification speed of Sinful Souls keep up with the falling speed of Sinful Souls? Is it Naraku's fault?

No, it's because of you lazy, good-for-nothing native gods!

If you could help your Naraku distinguish Sinful Souls — which are heinous and must undergo strict punishment and cleansing, which are minor sins needing only light punishment to cleanse the evil — the purification speed of Sinful Souls after unified processing, how could it be so inefficient?"

"Ah, we Land Gods still need to help with this kind of work?"

"Slap~"

Aqua produced a stack of folding fans from who knows where and, facing the Land God who spoke up, brought one down on his head.

"Ow~"

That Land God immediately hugged his head and crouched down, clearly hurt by Aqua's fan strike.

"Are you questioning the words of this noble Main God from the Heavenly Realm who has condescended to descend to the lower world and come here to give you lower world native gods guidance?"

Aqua, who had reached the depths of the Great Spirit Vein that very night, looked down on all directions; wherever her gaze passed, not a single Great Spirit Vein native god dared to meet her eyes.

"Change it, change it for me, whatever crude reincarnation mechanism that relies on spiritual body instincts to queue for reincarnation, optimize it all for me.

You lot, go work the front desk, evaluate the merits and demerits of those souls' entire lives, then investigate the annual shortfall of souls needing reincarnation in the mortal world, let souls without guilt enter the fast track for reincarnation first.

Also, you only have a Naraku similar to Hell here, but no realm similar to Heaven, so, carve out an Underworld in your Great Spirit Vein, dedicated as a place of recuperation for those souls of great virtue, incidentally also reducing the burden on reincarnating souls.

What, not enough manpower, don't you know how to recruit? Are you all only capable of eating but not working? With so many souls in the Great Spirit Vein, isn't there a single one with a clear consciousness? Can't you transform those conscious souls into your aides?

Angels, pfft, you lot are worthy of being called Angels? In our Heavenly Realm, trash like you would have to go study at the Heaven Academy for a few hundred more years, do you know what 'spirit-first, serving the reincarnated dead' means? Not a shred of self-awareness, no spirit of dedication at all!

I don't mean you individually, I mean all of you; in my eyes, you're all blood-sucking parasites of the Great Spirit Vein, garbage that should be swept into the depths of the garbage heap……"

Aqua seemed to blame the fault of her having to work during her vacation on this world's native gods, yet under the guise of guidance she sprayed a tirade at the Food Spirit World's immortals and land gods.

Each and every immortal and land god, where had they ever suffered such humiliation, yet they dared to be angry but not speak out, because this imperious Heavenly Main God-sama was even more fierce than the Broly standing behind her.

Before the Great Spirit Vein and Naraku were destroyed, Broly could only kill them over and over again, but the Great Purification Aqua had just released at Naraku with zero-frame startup could actually format them into the purest mindless spiritual bodies.

These land gods who had long since developed self-awareness, none of them wanted to be formatted into blank spiritual bodies with empty heads, yet amid the Heavenly big shot Aqua's scolding, they busied themselves inside the Great Spirit Vein, mainly busy modifying the Great Spirit Vein.

Of course, Aqua was only responsible for guidance on the general direction; as for some details and technical issues, she didn't care.

If a land god came to ask her, they would be scolded back head-on by her: "What, specifically how to modify, how would I know? I'm not you lower world native gods, I'm a noble Heavenly Main God, this kind of detail, figure it out yourselves, I only look at results!"

The Slacking Goddess's style was displayed to the fullest; if acquaintances saw it, they could only exclaim: "Truly worthy of being Aqua!"

The Nine-Tails problem was solved, but the resurrection problem still wasn't; according to Aqua, she was only responsible for guiding dead souls to reincarnate, not for dissecting dead soul spiritual bodies.

And while she could grant Golden Fingers to dead souls as a bestowal, what Byakuei needed here was soul separation technique; her specialty didn't match.

Fortunately, there were also wives in the chat group who researched souls; Aqua Master couldn't solve it, didn't mean other wives couldn't; strong ones like the Unique God of the Fanlou Star Cup World, weak ones like Aozaki Touko who rode the Saiyan's coattails and reached the Root……

However, the one who ultimately came to help solve the resurrection problem was the Lich Wiz who had finished business hours at the Axel Magic Tool Shop.

Time rewinds to this morning; after Broly posted a message in the chat group requesting help separating souls, Yunyun replied to him directly.

"If it's a soul problem, then as expected it's still Miss Wiz, after all she's a Lich, the Highest Undead, the master who plays with souls……"

When Wiz saw this message she was a bit stunned, because she was still hesitating how to edit the message so Broly wouldn't think she was proactively offering help just because she wanted to go play in an Isekai.

"Yunyun~"

"No need to thank me, Teacher Wiz, after all, with a hesitant personality like yours, if I didn't speak up for you, the opportunity would be snatched away by someone else."

Sure enough, under Yunyun's message, Aozaki Touko left a "What a pity, one step too slow" sticker, and requested Broly to stuff a piece of Killing Stone into the Crystal Palace for research if he had any extra, while Fanlou indicated further down that if Wiz couldn't solve it and there was need for help, he could @ her again.

Just like that, Yunyun hit a grand slam assist; after finishing a day's business at the Magic Tool Shop, Wiz came over too.

"Teacher Wiz~"

Broly was also very happy to see the Lich miss, walked forward and proactively hugged her.

"Eh?"

Embraced by the big guy Broly's spiritual body, Wiz's head turned to mush.

The youth before her eyes, his appearance showed Broly's shadow.

But it's only been a few months, how did her own student grow this big?

Her whole body being embraced, it was as if she was the younger one.

"Don't make a fuss, this is Broly's soul form; compared to his body, his soul seems to have grown up a step earlier."

Aqua was a bit displeased; this was originally a secret she enjoyed alone, but because the resurrection problem had to be solved, she now had to share it with Wiz.

"I'm telling you, don't you dare expose this in the chat group, and furthermore, don't you dare sneakily eat my cute disciple while I'm not around, you smelly Lich with huge excess chest meat, understood?"

Aqua grabbed Wiz by the collar and issued a gag order and a conduct regulation order to her.

Hugging and embracing is fine, but deeper soul communication is not allowed.

"Aqua-sama, I understand, stop pulling my collar, the buttons are about to fall off."

"Pop~"

As soon as she said the buttons would fall, they fell; snowy white Lich mountain peaks were exposed before Broly.

The Lich miss cried out in surprise, instinctively covering her chest.

And the scene, instead, was even more alluring than not covering up.

"Woof~"

Byakuei barked once from the side, then at Wiz who was bending over towards it, stuck out Tsuchimiya Mai's body's tongue.

From Wiz's body, it smelled a delicious scent; if not for its master beside it not letting it go up, Byakuei really wanted to pounce over and lick the other party, just like a dog licking meat bones.

Of course, whether this Second-Generation Nine-Tails could beat Wiz and lick the soul body of the KonoSuba World's Highest Undead Lich was another matter entirely.

Most likely, it would be frozen solid, or blown to annihilation by Explosion Magic.

"The soul you want me to separate is her, right? Then I'll start researching now……"

Using Ice Magic to condense and fix the fallen buttons, looking at the beautiful dog Byakuei drooling at her from the side, Wiz said to the youth-form Broly.

"No rush, Teacher Wiz, it's still your first time in an Isekai, why not tour around here first."

Broly looked at Yunyun's private message and said to Wiz.

"Eh!?"

"Of course, Aqua Master comes along too."

Midnight, Tokyo's bustling streets, Broly's youth spiritual body embracing left and right.

His spiritual body was very condensed, condensed enough that ordinary people could see it with the naked eye.

Although midnight wasn't as lively as daytime, it still made Wiz feel very happy.

Of course, during this time there were also people attracted over by the Goddess Master and Lich Teacher's beauty.

But upon seeing the two's male companion was a muscle-knotted, small-giant-looking guy, these people all clearly realized the principle that beauty is tempting but life is more precious, and no one dared come over to disturb them.
