Chapter 3: The Evil God Enters the Game, Crossing into Another World
Wakaba pursed her lips, her gaze as sharp as a blade.
A terrifying killing intent radiated from her, and the air seemed to freeze for an instant.
A god being forcibly kissed... if "those" guys found out, she'd be mocked to death.
To prevent the secret from leaking, she might as well just destroy this world!
As long as all these people vanished, she could pretend nothing had ever happened.
Yes, exactly... that's it...
Thinking this, she narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura swirling around her as if she were ready to strike at any second.
Shirazawa, terrified by this overwhelming pressure, stumbled back several steps, his face pale with fear.
In this moment, he felt a sense of dread like never before.
*Crap, I took it too far!*
He screamed inwardly and scrambled to plead for mercy:
"Hey, Wakaba! Calm down! Don't do anything reckless! There's no need to take it this far! Think about the manga! Think about the games! Is it really okay to destroy such a beautiful world?"
"..."
Hearing this, Wakaba's eyes wavered slightly.
"Hmph!"
After a fierce internal struggle, she eventually let out a cold snort and walked toward the school gates without looking back.
Compared to her peaceful, lazy lifestyle, a forced kiss didn't seem *quite* so unacceptable. For now, she didn't want to go back to work. Dammit... that bastard got lucky.
"Phew... I almost died. That was close..."
Shirazawa patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
As a reincarnator, he knew the plot settings, which was why he dared to be so bold with Wakaba.
A bored god, hiding from her duties, disguised herself as a high school girl to enjoy a carefree daily life. But if she used certain powers, her subordinates would detect her presence and pinpoint her location. Then, they would surely drag her back to forced labor.
It was for this reason that Wakaba—no, she should be called the Supreme God, Evil God D—dared not act rashly.
Shirazawa had been in this world for a year.
During that time, he had tried everything to get close to her. Unfortunately, this Evil God seemed entirely uninterested in him, remaining icy and unapproachable.
It wasn't until the little spider appeared these past two days that he realized time was running out. That was why he made such a radical move. Who would have thought...
"But, that feeling..."
Shirazawa touched the corner of his lips, a charming smile creeping onto his face.
"I almost got erased, but at least I didn't lose out!"
Then, under the weird stares of everyone around him, he limped away.
Late at night.
In a dim room, the only light came from the flickering glow of a computer screen.
The sound of rapid typing filled the air...
On the screen, the character she controlled moved with grace, releasing a perfect combo that instantly deleted the enemy's health bar.
When the "VICTORY" text appeared, Wakaba's beautiful eyes crinkled slightly.
Three minutes... a boss she used to finish in one minute took three minutes today.
Fine.
She admitted she was distracted.
Memories of today's events kept popping up; she couldn't help but overthink, imagining all sorts of bizarre scenarios. If this continued, she'd go crazy.
"Dammit, why do I have mortal emotions? Where did things go wrong..."
Wakaba rubbed her temples irritably, then collapsed backward, lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
However, at the thought of the tragic "forced kiss," she found herself unable to sleep.
"Maybe I should just kill him. Or use memory erasure... yeah, best to erase my own memory too..."
She bit her left index finger, lost in thought.
The universe's most perfect body tossed and turned on the bed.
This night, she was truly "sick."
The next day.
Wakaba entered the classroom sporting heavy dark circles under her eyes.
The moment she saw Shirazawa feeding the little spider in the classroom, the murderous intent in her heart surged again.
On one hand, killing him would remove this inexplicable annoyance.
On the other hand, it would mean being caught and dragged back to work.
The two difficult choices left her hesitating for a long time.
Shirazawa sensed a gaze directed at him. He looked up and was momentarily stunned.
"Wakaba-san, you don't look so well. Are you sick?"
Facing Shirazawa's concern, Wakaba grumbled internally: *Who do you think is responsible for this? Kuso!*
"..."
She ignored him completely, returning to her seat to rest with her eyes closed.
Seeing this, a faint, imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of Shirazawa's mouth.
Soon, the bell rang, and the "loli" teacher, Ms. Oka, walked in.
"Okay class, let's begin..."
A gentle breeze drifted in through the window, carrying the scent of flowers and fresh grass.
Wakaba held her textbook, sitting elegantly in her chair with lowered lashes, enjoying the tranquil peace.
Beside her, Shirazawa propped up his textbook to hide the small terrarium containing the little spider. He teased the spider listlessly, having no interest in the lecture.
"Why hasn't it happened yet? I'm waiting forever here..." Shirazawa muttered to himself.
Wakaba's brow twitched. *What is this guy rambling about?*
Right then!
*VROOOOM—*
A terrifying pillar of energy suddenly descended from the heavens, blasting toward their classroom.
"Huh?"
In the split second she was stunned, the light hit the classroom, striking twenty-seven people, including the teacher.
In an instant, not a single one of the twenty-seven survived; they were all annihilated.
Only Wakaba Hiiro remained, her beautiful brow furrowed.
"What the... what is Sariel thinking? Trying to kill me with this level of damage? How naive."
With a casual wave of her hand, she absorbed all the MA energy from the light pillar into her palm, preventing it from affecting the rest of the world.
Then, a headache set in.
The attack meant for her had caught her classmates and wiped out the one person she wanted to kill most—Shirazawa.
It should have been a good thing, but...
"The world's energy fluctuation is abnormal. It might expose my presence... No, wait, energy fluctuations are common; it shouldn't reveal me."
"But the students and teacher died because of me. That's a bit hard to justify."
After thinking for a moment, Wakaba came up with a seamless plan.
She would reincarnate the souls of her classmates and teacher into another world, giving them a second life as compensation.
"A whole class transported to another world... that sounds pretty interesting, hehehe..."
The mischievous Evil God began her "homework."
"Since the teacher loves her students so much, she can go to the Elves. I'll give her a 'Student Roster' skill too, hahaha..."
"As for that annoying guy... throw him into the Elroe Labyrinth to fend for himself. At his level, he probably won't last three days, kékéké..."
After making all the arrangements and granting them the Innate Skills their hearts desired, Wakaba remembered a serious issue.
"If I do this, I'll be one soul short. I have no interest in adventuring in another world; the shut-in life here suits me better."
"If the number of dead souls is abnormal, Hades will definitely notice. I have to fill the gap, or my identity will still be exposed."
That's right—the number of souls reincarnated had to match the number of deaths from the spatial fluctuation. Only then would the incident look "natural."
So, who could replace her in the reincarnation?
Then, the Evil God noticed the weak soul of the little spider Shirazawa had been raising.
"There! Now the set is complete. Exactly twenty-seven. Nice!"
After Wakaba Hiiro's memories were implanted into the spider's soul, a perfect double was created.
To ensure the secret stayed safe, the Evil God figured it was better if the little spider died as quickly as possible—destroying the evidence so no one would ever find out. Thus, the little spider was treated as a pawn, thrown into the Elroe Labyrinth along with Shirazawa.
"I feel like something is still missing..."
The Evil God rested her chin on her hand, pondering.
Recalling the close interactions between Shirazawa and the little spider, her eyes lit up with malice.
"Hehehe... this should be very entertaining... that's what he gets for disrespecting a god."
"Yes, let's do that!"
After some chaotic tinkering, the Evil God finished her work with satisfaction.
"Alright, everyone. I hope you enjoy your journey to another world."
"Hehehe..."
