As Ilya left for the elders’ meeting, Delios beat his chest in frustration. “If someone saw this, they would think you’re already an imprinted pair. They would think the heavenly world’s most lovey-dovey couple has been born! Despite all this, why haven’t you been imprinted yet? This is deception, pure deception!”
Ding!

[That’s what I’m saying.]
You sounded like a lovebird couple.
“Lord Ilya said he didn’t want to do it. Why are you blaming me?”
“Then you must persuade him!”
No, who is the one who is disappointed and is scolding me now?
“Sigh. Are you kidding me?”
“What?”
“Do you think anyone would do it just because someone wants you to do it? Answer me!”
“T-that’s not it…”
“We! Will be! Together for the rest of our lives! It’s about choosing a companion! Do you think nagging alone will solve everything?!”
Delios shrank his shoulders with an embarrassed expression as if he had been pushed back by my force.
“B-but the test result was amazing! The odds of an angel finding a lifelong companion are so low, but you’re going to kick this opportunity away? Even though your partner is Lord Ilya?”
Ding!

[The more I look at Delios, the more he looks like a follower of Ilya rather than an angel.]
I shrugged. “I’m not interested in that. But.”
“But…?”
“My opinion may change depending on how well Delios does in the future.”
Ding!

[Whether the instructor becomes an angel or a devil depends on your actions. Do you understand?]
Delios asked doubtfully with a frown on his face. “Is there anything you want?”
Of course, there is. Ilya went to the elders’ meeting, and the topic discussed there was all too familiar to me. As the developer, shouldn’t I prepare for the misfortune that lies ahead?
* * *
Ilya entered the meeting room and paused for a moment. This was because only Samuel, the most authoritative angel among the elders, was sitting at the meeting table.
Samuel’s hair color was faded, dull caramel blond. He’s also the father of Zakari, the commander of the army.
“You arrived at exactly the same time today. Come and have a seat.”
“Where are the others?”
“I told them not to come. There’s no need for so many angels to gather for today’s meeting.”
What on earth did they set up such a meaningful occasion to say? Ilya sat across from him in unknown displeasure.
Samuel began calmly. “I want to tell you the truth about the heavenly world.”
The truth of the heavenly world?
“Do you know why the distance between the demon world and the heavenly world is getting closer and why they are trying to merge?”
“Isn’t it because of the aftermath of the independence from the god world?”
“That’s right, but there is a more fundamental reason. In fact, if that were the case, wouldn’t the human world have already merged with the heavenly world?”
As Samuel said, the heavenly world was considerably narrower from the human world. So he heard that what was happening was that souls that perished in the heavenly world were reborn in the human world. However, it wasn’t at all possible to invade through the dimensional crack.
“The reason the heavenly world and the demon world are trying to merge is because that was originally the heavenly world.”
His thoughts came to a halt. Despite Samuel speaking plainly, he found it hard to understand. So, Ilya asked again. “What do you mean by that?”
“I’m saying that the demon world was originally a heavenly world as here. That’s why the two systems with the same essence are trying to easily fuse together.”
It was an unbelievable statement.
“The world failed to become independent from the god world. After a long time, the world was completely transformed, and a species called demon was born.”
“…”
Ilya suddenly recalled Theresa’s face. It hasn’t been long since he got to know her, but maybe he’s already addicted to the soft and gentle sensations that her arms give him. He missed her embrace so desperately right now.
That’s how shocked Ilya was. Things that he had ever firmly believed in were crumbling and destroyed. Suspicion, distrust, disappointment, anger, and disgust were all beginning to boil over.
Samuel continued speaking in a low-pitched voice. “I heard yesterday the number of angels born from the celestial tree was reduced by half.”
Ilya also knew that fact after receiving the report.
“That’s just the beginning. Soon, the weak islands will fall down one by one. The ice land will expand its scope further.”
“Why did we leave the god world and cause this trouble?”
Samuel said as if it were a silly question. “No one likes to be ruled, Ilya.”
Ilya fiercely poured out his true feelings that had been buried deep inside him and hadn’t been brought out until now. “It was all over the moment God’s servants gave up their position.”
“Conservative people like you will say that, but that’s it, Ilya. Why can’t we have an independent world like humans? Isn’t that strange when we’re so much superior than humans?”
“So you’re saying Clyde’s sacrifice will provide energy to the dying world?”
“That’s right. Is there another way for us? Otherwise, this world will eventually become a demon world.”
“…”
Ilya clutched the hem of his clothes near his handkerchief. His head was pounding, and making a rational decision without considering his emotions was difficult. Nevertheless, the thought that came to his mind was, ‘I shouldn’t sacrifice Clyde.’
“…Then, I will sacrifice myself.”
“I can’t allow that because there’s no ruler as excellent as you. Clyde’s sacrifice is inevitable.”
Ilya brought up the issue the elders had consistently asked him to address. “I will test my imprinting match rate with all the female angels existing in the central city.”
Thus, he meant to give birth to an angel who would be his successor. Ilya felt fortunate to have kept his imprint matching rate with Theresa completely kept secret. He himself will die, and his child will have to be exploited by this disgusting heavenly world.
Actually, Ilya didn’t think it was a big problem, but somehow, he thought Theresa would be very distressed. That’s why he would never be imprinted with her.
I guess I’ll have to ask Clyde to run to a safe place. The twins, who had good senses, were already having difficulty figuring out how to deceive them.
Samuel knew that Ilya had made a huge concession, so he agreed at this point. “You’d better hurry. Because time is not on our side.”
“I understand.”
For the first time, Ilya thought about killing an angel.

“Wow, it’s so fast!”
I was traveling around the island on pegasus.
“Violleta! Can I just steal that pegasus and ride it?”
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Violleta even lent me a safety device and urged me to return before sunset. Although angels were fast in moving speed, they were nothing compared to pegasus.
Pegasus descended to the vast continent below the island. “Oh, can you see the village over there? There is a stream nearby, so drop me off there.”
A village full of cute houses, although somewhat shabby compared to the magnificent buildings in the capital, is getting closer. The biggest characteristic of the village was that it was surrounded by a strong fortress. This was also Clyde’s work to protect the weak angels.
The continent was dangerous because it was inhabited by powerful wild magic animals that couldn’t be controlled. Unlike the human world, the magical animals here were different in size, even if they were the same wolf. They were truly like monsters. In addition, cracks in dimensions occurred only on the continent. So, all mid-level angels and above lived on the island. Because it’s safe there.
I got off pegasus’s back and fed it plenty of mana. “Great job. Let’s go back up in a little while.”
Purr!
Clyde should be somewhere around here, having a blast bossing around the low-level angels. But it’s strangely quiet.
Then, the pegasus perked up its ear and flapped its wings. Purr…!
It’s on guard for something.
Ssssss. At that moment, the ominous noise of grass being swept away by something came to my ears. Even though it was still noon, I could see something moving in the densely dark forest. And soon, it appeared.
“Basilisk!”
In response to the appearance of a vicious monster that even the archangel couldn’t tame, I quickly withdrew my mana. Can I really face the basilisk?
When I was nervous, the basilisk suddenly moved slowly away from me and stopped coming. Is it possible that the basilisk also feels favorably towards me…? I didn’t have the courage to approach, but it seemed like the village fortress behind me couldn’t stop the basilisk.
I slowly approached, swallowing dry saliva. The basilisk just looked at me and blinked, but there was no sign that it was going to attack. When I finally got close, I stretched out my hand and touched its cold scales. The hot energy contrasted with the smooth and hard touch could be felt. The basilisk was pleased with my presence and told its own story.
“You were angry because your cave collapsed.”
In addition to the basilisk, the continent was full of great predators. Among them, there are animals contaminated with magi, and as the days go by, territorial fights become more intense.
I patted the basilisk with a sad expression. At that time, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
“What a strange low-level angel.”
“!”
When I looked back, Clyde, with his long silver hair flowing down, was standing there.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Face Inspector’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Crazy.]
“Greetings, Lord Clyde.”
“Have you ever seen me?”
“No, but I know you because you’re famous. You’re also the one and only twin brothers in the heavenly world.”
Clyde chuckled and turned his attention to the basilisk. “I think this guy listens to you. Can you please tell it not to attack the village? There are a bunch of weak guys living there.”
“Of course.”
I gently soothed the basilisk by feeding him my mana. “You shouldn’t destroy someone else’s house out of anger, got it?”
Basilisk answered yes and disappeared into the forest.
Then Clyde immediately pointed his sword at my neck. The thin golden cord caught on the tip of his sword, creating a chilling sound of metal scraping.
“…Why are you like this?”
“What’s the point of coming here from the island? Dog of central headquarters.”
Anyway, whether in his past life or current life, he’s still a nasty XXX.
As Ilya left for the elders’ meeting, Delios beat his chest in frustration. “If someone saw this, they would think you’re already an imprinted pair.
