Chapter 2189: Intermission: The Berserker Driven Mad by Jealousy
Floating in a certain empty space, arms crossed in contemplation was a World Creator, known as the Virtual God, Electrone. At this moment, she was pondering what to give Kaito as a birthday present, having successfully earned the right to do so.
Naturally, she had heard various restrictions regarding the present from figures like Shallow Vernal, Makina, and Canalis. Within those limitations, she was trying to come up with a gift that would leave an impression on Kaito and make him happy.
Just then, Canalis suddenly appeared before Electrone.
[Hey there, Electrone, do you have a moment?]
『I don’t mind. However, if you are here to rush me about the preparations, an immediate response will be difficult…… Outputting status…… <If you're here to ask about Kaito-sama's present, I'm still thinking about it, so please wait~~>…… End of output.』
[Ah, no, it's not about rushing the present…… Well, I guess you could say it’s related……]
Electrone tilted her head at Canalis’ hesitant words. Canalis’ expression remained as rigid as ever, but her voice carried a hint of sympathy.
[Well, you see. ∇∮◆£ wants to meet and talk with you…… Uh, she was saying something about how she's definitely not trying to discuss Kaito-sama’s birthday present or anything like that.]
『Absolutely not…… Outputting sentiments…… <Are you kidding me? This is definitely because I said I was chosen by Kaito-sama, unlike ∇∮◆£ who unfairly got a head-start! No way!>…… I have no interest in walking into a danger zone.』
[W- Well, she is a good person, you know? ∇∮◆£ is kind and takes care of people. When I asked her to manage the world I recreated, she readily agreed. Tahaa~~ But, well, right now, she's kinda burning with jealousy……]『I acknowledge that but still, outputting resistance…… <I know! If it were any other time, I’d have just brought some sweets and gone to see her!!! ∇∮◆£ is kind and laid-back, but when that switch of hers gets flipped, she's more barbaric than a wild monkey on an uncharted planet!! She'll definitely hit me!!>…… Therefore, I resolutely refuse to meet her.』
As soon as Canalis mentioned it, Electrone outright rejected the idea. Seeing this reaction, Canalis thought "Yeah, I get you", but still pressed on.
[W- Well, if that happens, you can just run away, right……?]
『Proposing an impossible action is not constructive. Counterargument output…… <Right back at you! Why don’t you run away before ∇∮◆£ beats you up, Canalis?>…… End of response.』
[Tahaa~ If I could, I wouldn’t be troubled like this…… I mean, ∇∮◆£…… she's too strong.]
『Agreeing while reinforcing resistance…… <Exactly! She's crazy strong!!! Leaving aside exceptions like Nebula-sama and Shallow Vernal, she's possibly the strongest, isn't she?! And she always brute-forces her way through everything! Physical defense, conceptual defense, spatial warping, dimensional isolation, anti-omnipotence defenses…… none of it matters! She'll just break through everything and punch you!!!>…… I recognize that, aside from Nebula-sama and Shallow Vernal, Bipolar God is the strongest. Therefore, escape is impossible.』
Yes, the one they were referring to, ∇∮◆£, known as Bipolar God…… was so powerful that even Omniscient and Omnipotent beings acknowledged her ridiculous strength.
If the topic of the strongest among the World Creators came up, excluding the obvious exceptions of Nebula and Shallow Vernal, ∇∮◆£ was always one of the top candidates.
『Continuing sentiment output…… <Anyway, I’m not going to meet a berserk gorilla consumed by jealousy, no matter what!!>…… End of statement. This unit has no intention of going to see the Bipolar God.』
[……Well…… about that…… "She's already here", actually……]
『…………………』
As Canalis spoke in an awkward tone, the sound of a bell rang. Electrone, moving like a broken tin toy, turned around hesitantly.
There, standing with an almost serene smile, was a girl with bells tied to the ends of her hair…… Bipolar God, ∇∮◆£.
『……I would like to request time for an explanation. This unit has by no means insulted Bipolar God. I apologize for slightly misjudging the output of sentiments.』
[No, there's no need to apologize. I think you're right, Electrone. You won your turn and the right to the gift fair and square, so it would be completely unreasonable for me to complain. Honestly, I'm just losing my mind with jealousy and taking it out on you, there's nothing logical about my actions at all. I feel absolutely awful about it…… unn…… But, I'm sorry. I just can't, I really can't suppress this jealousy…… I think I'll calm down if I just land one punch…… Just once, let me hit you, ‘kay?]
『……You should not resort to such a rash action. We are rational beings. I propose that we first seek a solution through dialogue.』
[Unn. You're right, Electrone. I'm sorry…… and thank you. Now, I'm going to hit you.]
『This unit implores someone to teach this barbarian the value of language and dialogue……』
After those words, tinged with resignation and a certain sorrow, the berserker, consumed by the flames of jealousy, lunged at Electrone.
<Afterword>
Bipolar God ∇∮◆£
An irrational berserk gorilla.
Normally, she has an extremely mild-mannered and gentle personality, and she is also quite caring. She readily agreed when Canalis asked her to manage her recreated world, and she often listens to the complaints of other World Creators, making her someone people frequently rely on. As a result, she has a vast network of acquaintances.
However, once her switch had been flipped, all her thoughts reach the same conclusion: "punch it". She turns into a berserker, and in this state, reasoning with her is nearly impossible.
As a side note, she came to be known as Bipolar God due to an incident involving a large-scale faction conflict among World Creators unrelated to Nebula. When hostilities between the factions escalated into an all-out war, the collateral damage from their clash affected ∇∮◆£'s world to a considerable extent. Enraged, she entered berserker mode and single-handedly beat down 8 Omniscient and Omnipotent beings, 67 Omnipotent beings, and 213 Quasi-Omnipotent beings, effectively wiping out every World Creator involved in the conflict. Her drastic transformation from her normally gentle demeanor to an unstoppable berserker was the reason she was named Bipolar God.
