Ch.158 - Grimoire Catastrophe - (1)

I carefully analyzed the text and identified all characters, places, and terms from the glossary. Here's the translation:

# Grimoire Cataclysm - (1)

The reason I scattered grimoires across numerous dimensions was simple.

To search for dimensions that might contain clues about my lost True Name, and to obtain "coordinates" that explorers from this dimension could follow.

In that sense, scattering grimoires in Nut's dimension was rather meaningless.

What's the point of distributing grimoires in an already observed dimension? It's not like I couldn't exert influence on that dimension anyway.

No... actually, I could probably exert quite significant influence.

First of all, there was the Intergalactic Empire Federation, which goes without saying.

[Is the Constellation actually a god? Whispering Constellation seems like a real deity] +27417242893

[Speculating when we can go on a tour to Whispering Constellation's dimension] +92383721

[I've compiled progress on tourism and trade agreements with the Federation] +2528321

[A Main God church building appeared in front of my house] +8

[If I believe in the Main God religion, can I use Cosmic Power too?] +12

Even beyond the single galaxy where the Intergalactic Empire Federation exists. If I asked Nut, she would probably allow me to explore other galaxies.

"...Gu-gurgle?!!"

"Hmm... It looks like he's suffering from a mental attack similar to one from a Malicious Constellation. Where is this patient's guardian?"

"They're in the lobby right now. It seems the Constellation who contracted with him brought him personally."

I thought I had excluded Nut's dimension when scattering the grimoires.

There was that subtle feeling of elation, like when I reversed time in this universe... Did I fail to exclude Nut's dimension when distributing them across all dimensions?

It seems this was indeed my mistake.

Meanwhile, Sweet Reverie was talking with the guardian of the person who had lost consciousness while holding my grimoire.

Perhaps because the patient was an Avatar, the guardian was a Constellation of Single-Planet Life Tree level.

"Ah... Are you Sweet Reverie? Please help my Avatar. It seems to be the influence of the book in his hand, but I was afraid removing it forcefully might cause problems, so I brought him here."

"That does seem to be the case. But it doesn't look too difficult to resolve. I'll bring him back when the treatment is finished."

I scattered them across countless dimensions, and not only did they flow into Nut's dimension, but one even landed in the dust-speck galaxy where the Intergalactic Empire Federation exists.

Is there really some force of destiny at work? Is it because my Avatars who received my Cosmic Power are there?

I should inform Sweet Reverie and clean up this mess.

I'll have to retrieve it through the Earth Federation. Nut's dimension isn't necessary anyway...

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation says that the grimoire the Avatar is holding was created by him.]

"...?!"

Sweet Reverie's expression greatly wavered as she returned to the patient's room where he was having seizures.

No, don't be so surprised. I didn't scatter them to destroy the Intergalactic Empire Federation.

I took some time to explain to the Succubus Constellation who had a question mark on her face.

I told her that I had scattered them to other dimensions for a reason, that I didn't know they would cross over to that side, and that the man seemed to have gone mad from being unable to withstand my power. After I finished, Sweet Reverie nodded.

"Fufu... I see. It's because this object was created by such a great being that this human's mind couldn't withstand it."

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation confirms.]

But it seems unlikely that a normal human would end up like that just from acquiring it.

Perhaps he discovered part of the content through the Authority of translation granted by a Constellation. Or maybe he absorbed some latent power from the grimoire?

Still, I had no intention of retrieving the grimoires scattered to other dimensions.

While the damage caused to Mortals who acquired the grimoires was regrettable, they weren't individuals I was attached to like the Apostles who contracted with me.

And this method was better than tearing through the Dimensional Wall entirely to search.

For now, it would be better to help that human.

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation warns you to be careful.]

"Fufu. Great One. Trust this girl. Wouldn't I be more helpful than your human Avatars?"

After saying that, the Succubus Constellation with a relaxed smile placed her hand on the convulsing man's head.

Is she trying to enter his mental world like when she treated Lee Yuna before?

Swoosh—

Sweet Reverie transformed into gas and entered the Avatar's mind.

Well, she's at least a planetary deity, so she should handle it well...

"Kyaaaah!!!"

At that moment, Sweet Reverie screamed as if being torn apart and emerged from the Avatar's body.

* * *

Is this mental contamination again? Is the grimoire that powerful?

At least she has the strength to scream. Judging by how she's panting after coming out, this situation seems much better than when she entered Lee Yuna's mind before.

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation is concerned about his fourth Avatar.]

"Haa... ha... Unlike that human Lee Yuna's mind, the contamination is completely exposed on the outside."

She was panting with feverish energy for a moment. Fortunately, she calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

She was certainly startled, but it seems it wasn't enough to threaten a Planetary Spirit Entity Constellation.

It looks like the shock of pricking her finger on a suddenly protruding thorn.

At that level, even the lowest-ranking deities of Single-Planet type could easily overcome it.

Hmm. Hmm. I made it well indeed.

It might be a bit dangerous for Mortals, but for deities, it's just an object worth touching.

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation asks if you can treat that level of mental contamination.]

"Of course. Unlike Mortal Avatars, I..."

Perhaps it's because she's my fourth Avatar. Or maybe she's dissatisfied with receiving less of my attention despite being a Constellation.

The Succubus Constellation emphasized the differences between herself and the Mortal Avatars.

At times like this, I often realize:

Whether it's Mortals trapped in the shackles of time, wasting their lives,

Or deities who have escaped their predetermined lifespans,

To me, there isn't much difference between them...

* * *

Once again, Sweet Reverie was drawn into the man's mental world.

This time, she seemed to be entering with considerable preparation, drawing enough power that even I could see it.

Swoosh—

"...Gak!"

After some time passed, the man who had been having seizures while clutching the red grimoire dropped it with a thud.

Had she succeeded in driving out the contamination from his mental world?

Now she's coming out of the patient's mind.

Her eyes are slightly unfocused again. Her expression looks somewhat intoxicated.

Still, since the seizures stopped in that man's body, the treatment seems to have been successful.

"Ah... Truly amazing. So many deities... Are they all under Your Greatness's command?"

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation expresses confusion.]

"You said that the grimoire this human was holding was created directly by Your Greatness. Inside this human's mind, information about countless chaos deities was swirling. Surely it's because he looked into it and gained knowledge beyond his capacity."

If the memories of someone who acquired the grimoire can be read by others, then perhaps the spread of knowledge will accelerate a bit?

"I too, while navigating his mind, saw many Constellations... no, gods. Most of them compared to me..."

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation is concerned about his fourth Avatar's mind.]

"Ahem! I'm fine now. Haah... Looking into minds related to Your Greatness is difficult to adapt to."

The characteristic of the grimoire I created is this:

Information about deities. A book containing summoning rituals and methods to borrow power.

Knowledge that's half-forcibly injected and an expanding worldview.

Ordinary Mortals would find it difficult to accept information from our side.

Wait, isn't it actually good that the grimoire was passed to Sweet Reverie?

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation tells you to collect the grimoire.]

"Yes. I understand. Should I send it back to that dimension through the Earth Federation?"

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation tells his fourth Avatar to try a deity summoning ritual.]

"...What? Me... are you talking to me?!"

It would be better to verify if deities from this side can be summoned from other dimensions.

———

The Single-Planet Restricted Spirit Entity—the lowest-ranking deity as the Federation calls it—cannot move freely in space.

Even though they've experienced transcendence, they haven't reached the level of dominating a single planet.

But for those one level higher, Planetary Spirit Entities—Planetary Gods, traveling through space is simple.

"Then I'll begin here."

This was why my fourth Avatar, who was simultaneously a Planetary Spirit Entity Constellation, Sweet Reverie, could come out to outer space with the red grimoire.

Having moved outside the Federation's territory to avoid causing harm to the Intergalactic Empire Federation,

The Succubus Constellation in space turned the pages of the red grimoire with slightly trembling hands.

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation tells you to turn a few more pages.]

"...Yes! Yes! Should I perform the ritual to summon this being?"

Though she hasn't received power from me, she has sufficient ability as a Planetary God who formed an Apostle contract.

I just slightly modified the Constellation message to infuse my will, so she was given the knowledge to read the grimoire.

Considering the summoner's ability and that the dimension belongs to Nut, summoning too powerful a deity would be impossible.

There happens to be one suitable candidate. That one would be good, wouldn't it?

Still, since the current location is slightly different, considering that as well...

[Constellation, Whispering Constellation !@%@#*%!#%!]

It's slightly different, but with the grimoire's assistance, the summoning ritual should work.

"...Yes... As you command..."

Sweet Reverie, with dreamy eyes, uttered the blasphemous incantation.

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthugha R'lyeh n'gha-ghaa naf'lthagn Ia! Ia! Cthugha!"

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthugha R'lyeh n'gha-ghaa naf'lthagn Ia! Ia! Cthugha!"

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthugha R'lyeh n'gha-ghaa naf'lthagn Ia! Ia! Cthugha!"
