Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ - Chapter 580

580 – Servant of God
“Don’t get too carried away. If talking would have worked, I’d have preferred that way, but… There are plenty of ways I can do this. Don’t think I’m limited to just one option. If you don’t want to listen, then that’s fine. I’ll do it like normal.”

God’s Voice softly floats up into the air. As I follow with my eyes, God’s Voice’s arm suddenly swings down, the fingertips shining with light.

I don’t know what just happened. All I know is that an attack of some form is coming. I don’t have time to dodge.

Suddenly, I feel a jolt as though my brain has been shaken. Nausea wells up from deep in my body. My thoughts turn pure white.

“Gah, uguuh….”

The next thing I know, I’m sprawled on the ground. My head has flopped down, and a puddle of saliva has formed below my mouth.

A-a mental attack? It came too quickly for me to react. I also have no idea what the scope of it was.

That reminds me… Miia wrote about something similar.

『It is best to think of God’s Voice as being able to use every skill. Of course, the stats were also far higher than anything I had seen. In addition, God’s Voice had a vicious mental attack skill that pierced through all my resistances at the time, and fought with that attack as the focus. I suspect that resisting it is impossible, and the only option is to endure through force of will.』

If Miia was correct, then there’s no way for me to avoid that attack. I might not be able to do anything by evading it, or with buff skills or resistances. I-if this attack can be fired repeatedly, then even if my stats catch up, there’s nothing I can do.

“Dr-dragon-god-sama!”

Aro, who had been watching from a distance, leaps forward and touches a hand to my cheek.

『S-stay away! If you get close now, there’s no telling what could happen!』

My vision blurs. I somehow manage to track Aro with my eyes and shout to her with [Telepathy].

『Aro-dono!? I-I’ll do something!』

Saying that, treant-san steps in front of me and undoes [Tree Spiritisation], returning to his original tyrant guardian form. An overwhelmingly large tree appears in the space between me and God’s Voice.

Looking at him, the edges of God’s Voice’s mouth lift up into an emotionless laugh.

『Stop, treant! You’ll seriously be killed!』

“I guess this is fine. I’ll make you regret spurning my offer. I had been planning on using [Spirit Servant] to fulfil my promise to Lilixira anyway.”

[Spirit Servant]!? God’s Voice can even use [Spirit Servant]?

『What are you doing! Stop!』

“Lilixira thought she could compete with me, but that was just an illusion. Letting her think that way was useful, after all. It seems she seriously thought she could outwit me. Isn’t that so pitiful? I was the one who made her think that way, after all.”

God’s Voice’s left hand raises to the sky.

“Lilixira seriously tried her best, and it might not mean anything now, but I have to fulfil my promise. I put a lot of importance on that sort of thing. I can’t let her determination look worthless, after all. I promised her that if she lost the contest over divine skills, I’d destroy all of Liarm with my [Spirit Servant].”

『Y-you…!』

“No matter how you struggle, I can always take any number of measures. As a part of this world, don’t be so conceited to think you can do anything to me, a god. I’ll teach you, Irushia. There’s nothing you can do against me.”

From God’s Voice’s centre, a magic circle expands. The surroundings fill with blinding light, cutting off my vision.

Covering my face with my forefoot, I slowly open my eyes. Wh-what was summoned?

“O, OoOO, OoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

A roar explodes over the foggy land. It takes a few seconds for me to realise the sound is coming from a living being.

Behind God’s Voice is a figure about twice as large as me. It looks to be a gigantic spider, covered in dense fur and with eight legs.

On its front are three giant heads. The left head is a toad’s, and the right head is a cat’s. The centre head is a male, long-eared human head with a crown. Each set of eyes are open wide, their bright red pupils unfocused. The male in the centre is screaming, while the toad and cat are laughing creepily.

“Surprised? This is the strongest Demon Lord in all history. [Tri-Headed Gluttony King Baal]. Looks kind of funny, doesn’t he?”

Two figures are lined up by Baal’s legs. One is a woman hidden in a thick robe, while the other is an armoured giant carrying a greatsword in one hand. H-humans!? No way, are they [Spirit Servants] too!?

“Roooooooooooou…”

From behind Baal, I hear a loud noise. It’s hidden by the fog, but there’s something over ten times my size back there. It’s insanely large. It’s trampling over trees as it’s walking around. I-is that also a [Spirit Servant]…?

“What do you think? Every one of them are Legendary. Quite impressive, right?”

『H-how… Wasn’t [Spirit Servant] limited to two at a time?!』

In the first place, they shouldn’t be able to maintain their existence without divine skills. Even in [Spirit Servant] form, Beelzebub had [Animal Realm]. Keeping a stock of four Legendary [Spirit Servants] without any divine skills is a massive rule break, no matter how you put it. How is God’s Voice doing this? I can’t help but think Miia must have been completely insane if she thought this could be beaten.

“Why did you think I’d ever fight on the same level as you? In the first place, this is just entertainment.”

Watching us, God’s Voice laughs cruelly, seemingly enjoying our reactions.

“Just one of these would be enough to crush Liarm to dust. Since you’re being so rebellious, Irushia, I’m going to take these guys around to each of the places you’ve travelled. Can you still act so impertinent now, I wonder?”

I look at each of the [Spirit Servants] in turn. Even though I knew I could never win, I’d hoped I could inflict some pain on God’s Voice. But this is too much.

“Do you get it now? Even if you’re the strongest in the surface world, that’s meaningless in front of me.”
