Satou here . I believe the original meaning of clowns are those who bring amusement to people . Wonder when did the meaning shift to being the Fools or those who should be jeered?

『GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO』
Zaikuon is rampaging around as the black sludge wraps him . It seems to be quite elastic, the membrane won't break apart .
Eventually God Zaikuon is submerged inside the black sludge .
『Idiot . 』 『What a pitiful master that thing is . 』 『Think he died?』
The nymphs are floating and circling above the black sludge .
The black sludge began to bubble up from the inside . Just as the curious nymphs came closer to it, the black sludge violently burst open .
The nymphs ran off in a hurry .
The surrounding area would get contaminated at this rate, thus I took the fallen golden chalice and used it to catch all the falling black sludge . Then I enclosed the chalice in a strong barrier and put it away in an unused Sub-space .
『GUHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA』
God Zaikuon stood on the spot where the black sludge was .
Seems like he's undergone a slight image change, his face and naked upper body are furnished with black tattoo now . The yellow light emitting from God Zaikuon has lost its sublimeness, looking muddy instead . The outer brim of yellow light has turned black in particular .
Dark red lights dwell in his eyes . The same as nymphs who have been corrupted by the black sludge .
『So this is the forbidden power . . . 』
God Zaikuon muttered while coughing violently .
『 . . . This sense of omnipotence is not bad at all . 』
I can't tell how much stronger he's become just by looking, but the nymphs who were ganging up on god Zaikuon began shuddering violently when he glared at them .
『『『O our lord』』』 『『『Our loyalties lie only to you』』』
Looks like the nymphs fully intend to get back under god Zaikuon's command .
Their master seems to have another thing in mind though-- .
『GINYAAAAAAAAAAAA』
God Zaikuon's arm stretched out, then grabbed and crushed one of the nymphs .
『Lord-sama, lost his mind~』 『We're gonna get killeeeeeed』
The nymphs who scampered everywhere got chased by god Zaikuon at speed far above his speed earlier, he finished hunting all the nymphs in a blink of an eye .
"--His aura changed?"
God Zaikuon's yellow light got darker and darker every time he hunted one of the nymphs . He's also undoubtedly getting stronger each time, but rather than strength-wise it looks more like he's getting more corrupted . The black sludges that corrupted the nymphs must have been transferred to god Zaikuon .
『You're next . 』
God Zaikuon unleashed an attack toward me .
Distance matters not as he got right in front of me in an instant . I blocked his attack with Mana Armor I immediately deployed .
--His attacks are fast and most importantly, heavy .
I see my Mana Armor which blocked the attack getting encroached with the same tattoo as God Zaikuon's . I moved away with Unit Arrangement and discarded the Mana Armor .
『Fool!』
God Zaikuon waited for the timing I removed my Mana Armor to strike . I made it in time to deploy another one, but it failed to cancel the strike inertia, I got blown halfway through the mountain, creating a huge crater . That kinda hurt .
『ZAI, ZAI, ZAI, ZAYIIIIIIIIII』
Is that a cheering?
Saturated magic attacks shot by God Zaikuon poured down on me . Each and every one of these magic feels as destructive as advanced and forbidden level magic .
The attacks gouged the mountain, transforming the terrain .
『KUHA, KUHA, KUHAHAHAHAHAHA』
God Zaikuon laughed loudly while floating in the air .
Sorry for him, but I've gotten away by Unit Arrangement since the first crash and is currently hiding with Mana Camouflage .
『--He got away huh . 』
Whoops, he noticed that I had escaped .
『Very well then, I shall destroy his country to smoke him out . 』
An unthinkable remark coming from a god .
Since it looked like he would do it for real, I canceled my Mana Camouflage and showed myself before him .
『Hmph, out you are . 』 『Weren't you saying you wouldn't indiscriminately kill people?』
I forgot to use polite speech, eh whatever . I don't feel like keeping up appearances any longer anyway .
『Now I have this mighty power in my grasp, slightly less places to collect Divinity pose no problem . These humans shall multiply on their own left to their own device anyway . 』
Yup, that's a line from someone who's obtained a power beyond their capacity .
『 . . . I see . That's it . Humans multiply . Then there is no need to hold back . They may not be as enriching as nymphs, but country-wide amount of lives should serve as a nourishment to strengthen me . 』 『What are you saying?』
God Zaikuon started spouting out some dangerous-sounding words as if he was delirious .
『I shall destroy outside invaders when I get stronger . No need for deceptions nor trickeries . For I am fit to be the Gods' Top Seat . If I just get stronger . . . . stronger, even stronger, and for that sake the world must--<<PERISH>>』
God Zaikuon's aura changed to jet black .
Both the Scripture and jet black aura look familiar to the Divine Sword I have . The land around God Zaikuon is rapidly turning into desert .
Now then, this doesn't seem like a situation where I can just leisurely observe . Might be about time to finish this up .
<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . > ◇
『I shall now reap lives infesting this land . --Starting from you . 』
God Zaikuon's dark red eyes glared at me . Similar to the nymphs . Let's wake him up for a bit .
Shock treatment is best for these times .
『<<Lesser Mythology Down>>』 『GUOOOOOOOO』
I tried to shoot a weakened lesser variation of Mythology Down exclusive for demon lords, at god Zaikuon . It may look flashy, but since the multi-dimensional permeations effect needed to defeat gods has been weakened, it's not as effective against Immortal beings .
He's twitching on top of the crater, but still clinging to life .
The jet black aura that had overrun god Zaikuon was blown away, his body regained back its dim yellow coloring . Only temporarily though, as the jet black aura quickly covered god Zaikuon back .
『T-that's a blasphemy, to me, the strongest supreme god . 』 『Yeah yeah . 』
Looks like I don't need to worry about god Zaikuon dying with the lesser version even if I don't hold back . I just keep shooting out [Lesser Mythology Down] at the right time while randomly replying him back .
『I am』
God Zaikuon sunk deep on the ground as he was about to stand up .
It seems like there's a period of time where he moves more sluggishly after getting hit by lesser Mythology Down . My aim is amusingly accurate because of that though it's also partly thanks to the practically zero time lag before the spell is invoked .
『The strongest』
Apparently he's the strongest, guess I'll increase the output a bit more .
『Invincible』
Increasing the shooting pace should be fine since he's invincible and all, right?
I've used up all my mana after several shots, so I resumes the work while recharging from Mana Batteries .
Man he's pretty tough .
Truly what you'd expect out of a god . To think he hasn't lost his fighting spirit after getting hit this much . Since it's starting to get tiring, I kind of feel like whatever and just shoot the normal Mythology Down . I guess he'd really die from that one though?
His jet black aura has gotten considerably worn down, should be okay .
If that still doesn't work, then the only thing I can do left is the Anti-God Sealing Magic that Corpse taught me, but using that won't differ much from killing him if we consider his role of maintaining the barrier against outer space invaders . Since I don't really enjoy killing, I'll pick the sealing card only after using up all other cards .
『 . . . I, am . . . Su, pre, me . . . 』
Whoa, he still got some spunk left in him . Let's try repeating the same attack set I used earlier .
God Zaikuon was trying to say something, but then he stopped by the end of the second set . I observed him for a while before his finger twitched .
『 . . . This is . . . Unforgivable . . . Land . . . Perish . . . 』
Forget breaking his mind, it's fueling his vengeful spirit instead .
I've got no choice .
I'll make him taste a sense of crisis with the non-lesser version of [Mythology Down] . I'll weaken the power as much as possible so it won't kill him by mistake-- .
『IMMAKILLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA』
The worn-out god Zaikuon charged at me like a beast .
--Mythology Down .
Incomparable to the fake one earlier, painfully blinding lights and soul-shaking vibrations infringed upon the land and sky far and wide . The terrain gets greatly gouged out, blown earth and sand are forming into bulky clouds . Dark clouds swirled into whirlpools, the fierce wind blew away the rubble on the ground .
"Guess I overdid it a little?"
The collateral damage may be far less than Meteor Shower, but this destructive power exceeds that of ordinary forbidden magic .
--Seriously?
At the bottom of the gouged earth, there lies God Zaikuon .
◇
"--Vermilion barrier?"
A barrier made of vermilion light protected god Zaikuon . It seems to have hit its limit with that one shot, cracks is spreading on the surface of the barrier as I speak .
『Wait . 』
『Indeed, you must wait . Karion said so . 』 『Urion, do your job too . Even Godly Barrier cannot defend the next one . 』 『Now that's shocking . 』
A girl clad in indigo blue lights, and a petite girl clad in vermilion lights showed up . Judging from their conversation, they must be god Urion and god Karion .
The lights are too intense, only their silhouettes are visible .
『Getting beat around by a human even after harnessing the forbidden power . . . 』 『Good grief, truly a disgrace to us gods . 』
Humanoid in the shape of big men clad in orange lights and green lights also showed up . These two must be god Heraruon and god Garleon .
『I'm sorry to have kept you waiting . 』
Then a female silhouette clad in emerald green lights manifested . This one must be god Tenion .
『Karion, Urion, you two imprison Zaikuon inside Godly Cage . Can I count on Heraruon and Garleon to purify him?』
After confirming the gods' consents, god Tenion turned toward me .
『I'm sorry . Allow me to apologize in Heraruon's place . 』
No point in apologizing to me .
『Please direct your apologies to Boruean Forest's Sacred Tree, Aialize-sama . 』 『Yes, of course I will . 』
Then I guess, I can accept her apologies .
『Next time, just break the Godly Barrier and beat him to pulp . Karion said so . 』 『I did not . But Zaikuon should be made to know his place once . 』
God Urion and god Karion said some violent remarks . Since even the gentle god Tenion isn't saying anything, I guess I've been given the OK to beat god Zaikuon down with [Mythology Down] the next time he's misbehaving again .
『But, please don't be mistaken . For there is a true enemy . 』 『--True enemy?』
I know whom she's trying to imply, but does this enemy refer to mine or them, gods'?
『You probably won't believe it if that name is spoken by our mouth . As such, let's have you heard it from someone you trust . 』
God Tenion reached her hand toward to the sky, then I could feel the presence of some sort of barrier creaking .
『It's a barrier Zaikuon put outside the world in order to avert our gazes . 』
As she swung down her arm, I could sense the creaking barrier breaking to pieces . I've slipped out of the world many times before, but it might be a good idea not to underestimate these gods if they're able to put up barriers in that unstable place .
『Come, it should be here any second now . 』
Arisa's voice reached my ears right as god Tenion said that . It's Familiar Link . Apparently, the barrier god Zaikuon set up had barred Familiar Link from connecting .
