Yeah, that's the stupidest part of his thought process. Zakkart Guided Vida, Ricklent, and Zuruwarn, driving them insane, but I was Guided onto the correct path by Bellwood, which meant launching a preemptive attack on my insane sister, and any mortals working with her....
And the one who spent all day farming and ended up making a human wave at a numerical disadvantage, how can I not entrust the life and future of humanity to someone like that?
You're doing Van's work there, friend. Another fun read, giving hope that Rodoofus is going to end up getting stomped on again in the not-so-distant future. Waiiiiii!
Hahh. Bliss. Rodcorte trying to craft the divine equivalent of a circuit breaker and then sell it as a favor to gods that actually know what pain and war are like. Oh this. This is gonna be good lol. And Van saddling poor, poor Sam with another inferiority complex. “Bochama!!! How could you?!?! How did my wonderful horses become displeasing to your eyes?!?!?!” Or something adequately day-time drama-ish
Ahhh. Poor old stupid Rod Trying to solve his problems of being known in the world, so he can't abandon it, by introducing himself to even more people. Great plan, no way to backfire. He even made a refference to truck-kun and how he doesn't control it
Also this sentence from the chapter could be better. "Edmond was a merchant, not a journalist, in pursuit of profits, not the truth" It sounds better to me like so: "Edmond was a merchant, not a journalist, in pursuit of profits, nor the truth"
'Nor' is usually used when both examples are negatives, i.e: "Towards criminals, Batman has neither mercy, nor compassion". With 'not the truth' being more of a statement it could have been "Edmond was a merchant, not a journalist; in pursuit of profits, not the truth"
At this point if I were rodiot instead of trying to control truck-kun to kill someone, i would personally decend in a world and jump in front of truck-kun! He is already the god of reincarnation, so he should just use his powers to reincarnate himself and use it as loophole to change his name and essence and free himself from being bounded to that world! (Kinda similar to how some evil gods used reincarnation to get a clean state)
I like this idea, mostly because it involves Rodecorte getting splattered by a truck. I HIGHLY suspect, however, that if he even attempted such a cowardly feat, that he'd work a divine miracle to somehow screw up this "escape plan." Like, the truck meant for him will randomly hit another bystander, who will in turn eventually become a massive thorn in Rod's side, just like literally every other being he has interfered with directly, whether accidentally or deliberately.
Rodcorte finally puts some effort into serious reincarnation business, setting up his next life so he doesn't lose too much in the rebirth, waits eagerly in front of truck, and watches as it flattens a squirrel before hitting him....
You know, I've been thinking about it all day now, and I don't think I'd choose to be God of Reincarnation, especially if he's doing it to escape. I mean it's a pretty cushy gig, once the machine gets going, you can just sit back and feel the faith flow in, but you need to set up the system first and sell your services to pantheons that don't already have a cycle. I think if I were Rod, I'd set myself up to reincarnate as a new God of Light somewhere, preferably somewhere with more than one sun.
And that means more work with little return, I mean even if he becomes an absolute great god of that world the faith he gathering is just that of one world and he needs to govern it, bothersome, just search a newborn word, attach the system, anddd...profit. XD
Yup. You just got to understand that (unless you make yourself known in the worlds) you can't actually involve yourself in anything outside reincarnation. …Though I could totally see myself going to town with that power. Me: Oh hero, I have summoned thee to save a world in mortal peril! Taketh this fire ability to aid you on your journey. "Hero": Whooo! Isekai Banzai!!! *Splooooosh!* (hehehehe, good luck using your fire abilities on a world completely flooded with water...)
So should I add nuts to my annual offering of curries, bodybuilding magazines, heart cookies, and Coke? I remember that in high school I wrote a similar short story, in which the entity that is in charge of granting the quality of fire magic in countless universes, for fun gives it an insignificant percentage of its power that gives it a power without equal to a random mortal, only for in the end the last lineage of this one to use the maximum potential of this fragment to destroy and recreate their own universe, and what would be a unique story, is a little joke of a transcendental entity to count on his friends.
