Reincarnated as a Dungeon Master, I Became Unstoppable by Doting on My Monsters—My Gorgeous Monsters Have Started to Conquer the World on Their Own!

“Well, that’s how a deterrent was created against conflicts between gods. But on the flip side, even a weak god could secretly kill a strong one now… It’s a headache. Why do we, born as immortal gods, have to fight each other for the sake of humans?”

That is… true. Even the gods of Earth’s myths always fight, even though they could live without doing so. Does conflict not disappear even with immortality?

“The problem isn’t just that. If the strongest fourth-generation god is born amidst all this chaos, the balance of power could tip, you know.”

“That’s why the God of Birth and Revelation, Navalbi—Mom, worked hard to prohibit all the gods in heaven from having children. Impressive, right? You cannot do it without pulling out all the stops.”

That is… impressive. Especially since she already has children. There must have been a lot of backlash.

“Gods are often selfish, you know. Well, of course, some gods love humans too much, and those who want to have children secretly plan to kill Mom.”

At that point, she looked intently at my face.

“…Are you following?”

Then, with a severe expression, she asked me that. It seemed more like a genuine curiosity than mockery.

“Uh, yeah. Somehow.”

Although the amount of information was overwhelming, there were no parts I completely didn’t understand.

“…Then, list two fundamental problems and two immediate problems.”

However, upon hearing my answer, she gave me a test. …If I lied, I’d probably be killed.

“The first fundamental problem is that there are gods who love humans too much and are destroying the divine protection market. The second is that the strongest third-generation god is divided into two, so there’s no way to stop conflicts.”

…This should be the correct answer. If these two points are resolved, all problems should disappear. Whether it’s wrong for gods and humans to get along also depends.

Satisfied with my answer, Goddess Nanaya then shifted the test respondent to Jacqueline.

“The first immediate problem is that, despite the God of the Furnace creating a weapon to act as a deterrent, gods are thinking of ways to outsmart it. Second, if Goddess Navalbi is attacked, a fourth-generation god will be created, and it’ll be game over.”

“As expected of Jacqueline, she answered those difficult questions smoothly.”

“…Correct. There are two possible outcomes if things continue as they are. The worst-case scenario is that a god who loves humans secretly prepares a scheme to kill Mom and create a fourth-generation child. It’s the worst pattern where a parent uses their child as a pawn for killing; it won’t work well, and they definitely won’t listen. The other scenario is, well, war.”

She casually continued, “Ah, yes, that’s right.”

“Also, don’t expect that if you side with a god who loves humans, everyone will become immortal and happy. Some gods can’t stand being spoken to casually by their former servants, and those who genuinely hate humans for ‘stealing’ their children.”

She warned, and her words, influenced by her own experiences of being caught up in a war caused by familial love, carried weight.

“Even if they’re not gods from your world, if it comes to that, they could easily flood the Earth and wipe out humanity. If that happens, gods like Beelmatity would seek revenge on the God who did it, leading to a full-scale heavenly war. Mmm, I can almost smell the heavens burning.”

After finishing her talk, she stretched, utterly unbothered by her nudity.

To hide my blushing, I bowed and said, “Thank you.”

“Ah, finally done. Well, for now, the immediate problems—the gods planning to outwit and kill Mom—will be dealt with on our end. You guys can’t do anything about gods, after all.”

“What I want to leave to you is preventing the collapse of the divine protection market… or rather, perfect market management. As you probably understood from how that monster was created, the second-generation gods like Mom made humans too similar to themselves.”

Indeed, if humans had been mechanical beings from the start, such conflicts wouldn’t have arisen.

“…It might have been fun until now, but even if you remove the ‘heart’ from humans, gods who love humans won’t accept it.”

“So, I came up with a plan. Your summoning. I call it the ‘Summon a Dungeon Master from Another World and Have Them Skillfully Manage Things Plan’!”

“…What do you mean by ‘skillfully manage’?”

I don’t even know what ‘ruling’ entails, let alone how to go about it.

“I don’t know. How could I understand human matters? Anyway, there are two things you should focus on. First, some gods are likely forming secret societies among humans to prepare for a great war among gods. By now, the top of human organizations is probably under the influence and protection of some god.”

I felt momentarily pushed away, but she indicated what needed to be done. As expected from the daughter of the Goddess of Revelation.

“The second is perfect urban management… preventing wars and population concentration. You know about that, right?”

…She’s been letting only Jacqueline into the room and directing the conversation towards her. Does Goddess Nanaya know her?

“Yes. Some cities are already being ruled by people who have received excessive divine protection, and they’re attacking neighboring countries with arrogance.”

“Haha. Humans are interesting! They use the gifts they receive for filial piety to take away other people’s families. So, if things continue like this, in addition to the collapse of the divine protection market, some gods will gather faith and create a massive empire.”

Indeed, I understand what I should do… but…

“To prevent that, secretly manipulate things from behind so that all gods receive a certain amount of faith. Crush all the forces that are stockpiling power and level the military strength of all countries.”

I won’t be able to say no at this rate, and the conversation will move on!

“No, that’s too difficult!”

Finally, I had to interject.

Then she showed an unreserved smile and said, “Ahaha.” I was relieved that she wasn’t angry. Moreover, I finally understood. She’s the type of woman who finds it amusing to trouble people.

…Maybe her bad mood earlier was partly because I looked too composed. Or maybe she hoped I’d break down and say, “I don’t understand…”? She did keep checking if I was following. …No, that can’t be it.

…Wait, now’s not the time to analyze Goddess Nanaya’s hobbies. There’s still a mystery left in her previous statements.

“Um, what about having to kill other Dungeon Masters?”

“The strongest monster in the world is in the dungeon. My masterpiece with the highest growth rate. It can grow just by killing others like a monster and thinking and changing its form like a human. Perfect for secretly ruling countries or waging wars. So, all the other gods stole the method. Ah, it’s not that I’m foolish. I’ve also stolen plenty of inventions from other gods.”

Is it because she is a human from the world of myths? She speaks so casually about even the most serious matters. But this time, I couldn’t let it slide.

“That… ‘masterpiece’ you mentioned?”

Jacqueline also seemed curious, nodding beside me.

Then Goddess Nanaya murmured, “Well,” while looking to the side, fixing her gaze on us.

“I’ll tell you. I am the daughter of the Goddess of Birth and Revelation, Navalbi, and the daughter of the God of Merchants and Travelers, Tashimishu. My name is Nanaya, the Goddess of Cursed Monsters. I am the creator of the Dungeon System.”
