Danmachi: Is It Wrong to Be the Main Character in Orario?

Chapter 957: Dungeon, Dare to Observe Me!

"To resolve the issue of gods being unable to grow, and the problem that once they do grow, they become prey to the ’Miniature World’—my solution hasn’t changed from the very beginning."Bell’s voice was calm and resolute, as though he had been prepared for this moment for a long time.

"Create an entirely new world."

With simple, unadorned words, he made the most startling declaration to the gods.

Though stunned, the gods quickly regained their composure. He had indeed reached the point where he could create a world. But could creating such a world really change everything?

"Can creating a world change things?"

Hermes voiced the question that echoed in every god’s mind.

"Well... it depends on the person. If Mother and Miss Liangyi were to do such a thing, they’d need to merge completely with the world, sealing off their own path to avoid being captured by the ’Miniature World.’ If it were me, I’d stand beside the ’Miniature World’ willingly—it wouldn’t dare observe me."

Bell didn’t mean to disparage others; he was merely explaining how the ’Miniature World’ would react when confronted by him.

This left Meteria with lingering doubts, prompting her to ask.

"Bad boy, why can you make it afraid to observe you?"

"That’s actually quite simple to explain. Mother, would you choose self-destruction?"

"Absolutely not."

"Hmm, interestingly, the ’Miniature World’ thinks the same."

This explanation satisfied Meteria, but Bell continued.

The ’Miniature World’ observes the world from within. Once it pulls someone into its interior, it grants them a ’Spiritual Rank’ suited for activities within the ’Miniature World’—a form of identity authentication.

"So what about my identity? I represent ’Humanity’s Negativity,’ meaning I am part of ’Human History.’ So when I was pulled into the ’Miniature World,’ I was directly assigned the special Spiritual Rank of ’Humanity’ and ’All the World’s Evil.’"

"Additionally, since I embody ’Hope,’ I was also granted the Spiritual Rank of ’Saver.’"

"Once that state is reached, I will simultaneously be humanity, capable of confronting the ’Final Trial of Humanity,’ the most vicious Demon King within that trial—second only to the ’Wind of Decay’—and the ’Final Hope of Humanity’ who saves mankind from the Demon King’s grasp."

"Then, when I exist as ’Humanity,’ ’Humanity’s Ultimate Trial,’ and ’Humanity’s Ultimate Hope,’ could any entity within the ’Miniature World’ still oppose me?"

This question was a bit more complicated.

However, based on Bell’s partial understanding of the ’Miniature World,’ if he truly met all the conditions, then within the ’Miniature World,’ he would be untouchable. No deity or Demon King could lay a finger on him.

"As one of the ’Final Trials of Humanity,’ I am the Demon King who destroys the world. Moreover, because I am directly linked to ’Human History,’ as long as ’Human History’ exists, I am indestructible. With this identity alone, the gods and deities within the ’Miniature World’ cannot touch me."

"To destroy me would be to destroy ’Human History’ itself. But the gods and Buddhas within the ’Miniature World’ were born from ’Human History.’ If they truly destroyed ’Human History,’ they would be destroying themselves."

Simply being one of the "Final Trials of Humanity" meant that the "Miniature World" would never seek trouble. Even if the "Miniature World" had detected him, Bell was certain it would pretend not to see him.

There was more to it.

"As the ’Final Trial of Humanity,’ I’m far less lenient than other Demon Kings. Right now, I’ve already broken through to four digits. Once inside the ’Miniature World,’ I would instantly leap to two digits, becoming the second Demon King—after the ’Wind of Decay’—who is nearly impossible to defeat."

"The ’Final Trial of Humanity’ can only be crossed by humans. But the problem is, within the ’Miniature World,’ humans cannot cross into the three-digit tier—at best, they reach four-digit breakthroughs. So how can humans, capped at three digits, possibly cross a two-digit Demon King?"

"Are you kidding me?"

A single tier in the sequence represents a gap in power as vast as heaven and earth.

It can be said that no matter how hard a three-digit human strives, they cannot interfere with a two-digit Demon King. Unless a poet uses certain methods to restrict the Demon King, a three-digit human is nothing but a joke before a two-digit Demon King. Of course, Bell hasn’t forgotten the means to counter Demon Kings.

"Naturally, humans do have methods to restrain Demon Kings. Sealing the Demon King, for instance, can restrain him even if defeat is inevitable. However, beyond the ’Final Trial of Humanity,’ I also possess ’Hope,’ which makes me highly likely to become the unique Saver of the ’Miniature World.’"

"Additionally, note this: While the ’Final Trial of Humanity’ can be sealed as a Demon King, the ’Final Hope of Humanity’ is the savior who leads both humans and gods out of the Demon King’s control. A savior cannot be sealed. Neither gods nor humans can harm the savior—only the Demon King is an exception."

"Therefore, once I enter the ’Miniature World,’ I will most likely become both the ’Saver’ and the ’Demon King.’ This means humans, gods, and the Demon King cannot kill me. I can leverage these different identities to evade risks and completely disregard humans, gods, and the Demon King."

"Given this situation, Hermes, do you think the ’Miniature World’ would welcome me?"

"Hell no!"

After Bell’s brief explanation, Hermes understood that Bell’s identity within the ’Miniature World’ would likely make him the ultimate troublemaker—untouchable by humans, gods, and the Demon King alike.

The Miniature World might be extremely dangerous. Yet from Bell’s explanation, Hermes deduced that perhaps the Miniature World itself also perceived Bell as a significant threat.

Allowing Bell into the Miniature World might plunge the entire realm into an even more chaotic, dangerous state.

Bell responded with a shrug and a smile.

"So, even if the world I create appears before the ’Miniature World,’ I can grant it the chance to observe me. But I suspect that the moment I strike a stance, those two-digit entities observing me within the ’Miniature World’ will immediately suppress its desire to observe me."
