The Ordinary Sorcerer's Fun Otherworld Villain Play - Chapter 17 - The World's Truth (Intelligence 3)

It was time for my high intelligence.

My Intelligence was 3, but that was surely some mistake.

Surely this was a very important turning point for my future villain play.

“My king, give orders. Your knight, White, will dominate everything for your wish.”

“My lord, give commands. Your knight, Scarlet’s war is dedicated to you.”

“Master, give instructions. Your knight, Kuro will satisfy this famine only by serving you.”

These guys were my subordinates.

Then what did I as their leader want?

No, what did I want to do as a villain?

—It was decided, right?

It was decided.

I wanted to die as a villain.

I wanted someone to remember me, even after I died.

Not ending as a mob, I wanted them to remember I existed.

What was necessary for that, was—

“Rebellion against the gods—”

“!?”

“That’s…!?”

“Fuhe. G-gods?”

Great settings and a dramatic yet intelligent background!!

Fufufu, the villain roleplay simulation I repeated daily since coming to this world!

So I could die in the best way possible, I’d commit the worst evil in this world.

[…………]

The hint was that day, the school trip.

Right, villains were fearless and bold.

Just by being familiar with the important person Snow-san, I instantly became the evil of that place.

Then, what if I did something more to someone even more important?

So I thought.

“The 7 Great Gods, and Chief Deity Maris. The enemies are the gods.”

Gods really existed in this world.

So, I’d have these guys play Snow-san’s role from that time.

“Curse, that’s…”

“By the way, do you know what Gifts mean?”

“Eh…”

“In ancient words, Gift means a present. Why do you think gods give Gifts to people? For what purpose?”

“My lord, you’re knowledgeable in ancient Druidic too…”

“War… no, Scarlet, you know?”

“…The common language we use now was woven to unify all races’ wills during the ancient war with demons. Within it are true meanings now forgotten.”

“Fuhe, does Master know that…?”

“…Fu.”

Hohe~ so there’s that kind of setting.

Hmm hmm, as someone homeless, I couldn’t accumulate education.

Nice, with those materials I just made new mental settings!

“Curse.”

“Cu-rse?”

White gave a good reaction.

A blank expression, not bad.

That suspicious god.

If such guys existed, I had to use them.

“Gifts are rigged from the start to eventually destroy their owners, the Gifted. By none other than the giving gods’ hands.”

“Eh?”

“Realizing the danger of your own power and choosing death, you were closer to the truth than anyone. Your grief is correct, and your anger is legitimate.”

“Curse, that’s—”

“The S in S-rank Gift is Sacrifice, meaning ‘sacrificial victim.'”

“””!!!???”””

“Gifts are merely devices for gods to toy with humans, and your Gift. The meaning of SSS-rank Gift is… um…! Sin, Sacrifice, Soul. The soul of sin and sacrifice.”

“Wha… that’s…”

“My lord, why would gods, b-but, why would gods do such things, th-the reason?”

“Fu, do you demand reasons for the sun and stars to shine? That’s what gods are.”

I felt like there were many god-like boss characters in Life Field too.

Well, that was probably it.

“…Could it be… no, but if so, it would explain the conclusions of incidents involving gods in history… reason for no reason…?”

“Scarlet, if you’re concerned, try investigating. The fates of those recognized as S-rank Gifted in history. There should only be death.”

Fu, all humans died, so I wasn’t lying. Fufufufu.

“N-no way… the 7 Great Gods and Chief Deity have been this world’s guardians for 1000 years…”

“Hmph, that’s merely gods’ whimsy and idle amusement. In fact, this world is filled with war and hatred, isn’t it?”

“Curse, are you… trying to save this world?”

“I have no such intention. —I simply don’t like it.”

Alright, production at this point!

I kneaded curse power, made it gush upward.

“Ah… magic power is…”

“No, White, my lord’s this is, not magic power…”

“Fuhe, beautiful…”

“I will shoulder this world’s curses. I alone shoulder curses, I alone am suitable to govern curses. They’re an eyesore, the usurpers of my curses masquerading as gods.”

“Could it be… Curse, are you angry for us?”

“If Gifts are… curses intentionally given by gods as Curse says, then we are…”

“Our feelings, our suffering, all…”

Hmm? Ah, right, in this story’s flow, these guys were also tricked by gods.

Hmm… what should I do, saying too many casual things—

No, wait…

“My knights, from today, henceforth you’ve escaped being gods’ toys.”

“Ah…”

“…I see, so that’s it… Chief Deity, Maris…”

“…What the progenitor guys said, fuhe, meant that…”

This was that.

The flag for a final mastermind villain death where these guys who realized my lies at the very end struck me down!?

The world’s truth by evil charisma’s high intelligence, but it was an elaborate snake’s lie!

The knights with tragic pasts who noticed that lie bared fangs at the man they once acknowledged as master!!

Not bad!

No, I had no intention of dying yet, but wasn’t that ending good?

Alright, I’d go with this route!

“Learn history, doubt myths, then you should see it. The scent of rotten breath. The stagnant curse smell masquerading as holy.”

“History…?”

“In old battles, there were some who resisted gods. They all noticed gods’ schemes and were all struck down.”

“C-could it be… 1000 years ago, the ‘Human-Demon Great War’ was… the battle between the Demon King and the hero blessed by gods was…”

“…Fu.”

Ah, so there was that kind of war.

Human-Demon Great War, I’d heard of that, cool!

“…The Demon King noticed gods’ tyranny? Then, those races called demons were…”

Scarlet’s eyes widened.

Though not as much as me, this one seemed pretty smart.

Was this the thing about needing to be smart to wage war?

“I dislike fakes. Evil must be pure.”

“Curse, your purpose is…”

Ah, inspiration wouldn’t stop.

The momentum was already incredible.

I’d go as far as I could!

“Drag them down from their divine thrones, and then—”

All three knights froze.

Yes, here I’d pour curse power into my eyes.

Thanks to breaking the mask, I could remove it normally now.

Curse power reaction would dwell in both eyes nicely.

Hot!!! Endure!!

“I will become this world’s god.”

“””Ah… Curse.”””

Landed…!

100 out of 100!

I was doing the ultimate mastermind villain right now!!

Deceiving innocent pure beauties, framing gods!

Well, reincarnation and whatnot were a bit suspicious, but probably not this evil.

Sorry, gods.

“M-Master’s magic eyes… such complex patterns, I’ve never seen…”

“My lord’s those magic eyes don’t belong to any system… legendary bloodline… that race destroyed by gods… could it be?”

Ah, still, my evil talent was scary!!

I, I was evil itself!

“—In other words, Curse. We have clear enemies. The 7 Great Gods and Chief Deity, and something reflecting gods’ will in this world, a great enemy lurking in darkness.”

“Eh…? A-ah, yeah, right. Ahem! Ah…”

They dug deeper than I thought?

“That’s right, as White says. Curse, please tell us that existence. The enemies aren’t just gods, right?”

“Eh, why? Ah, yeah. Fu… that’s right.”

Eh? No, I thought it was just gods though.

“Fuhe… whether the 7 Great Gods or Chief Deity, they need pieces to move the board, right? God’s pieces… no, someone is reflecting gods’ will in the world…”

Huh, Kuro-san, you’re also digging deeper?

“””Our enemies aren’t just gods.”””

No way, you guys.

Weren’t they naturally increasing enemies?

This was natural born evil… scary…
