Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 267 Why, why is it you~!

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

"This one won't work either...how about we try to break in?"

Emilia suggested impatiently, looking at the space battleship in front of her.

The four of them tried one ship at a time, but the space battleships were either completely destroyed or could not be unlocked with Cheryl's authority.

Alfrid and his team also tried to find authentication items such as key cards in the base, but found nothing.

"No, these warships are managed by independent AIs. If these AIs are activated illegally, in the worst case they may explode and destroy the warships in order to avoid being usurped."

Cheryl explained a little tiredly.

"This is already the thirteenth ship. I don't know if there are any we can use among the remaining five. In the worst case, we can only spend time hacking into these space battleships from the outside."

Chloe said.

She also felt very troubled.

Just relying on the equipment Chloe brought, it would take a lot of time to prepare the hacking procedures for these warships and complete the hacking.

A rough estimate may also need to be calculated in months.

The time Alfred had bought from Antonio by clearing out the Annu followers in the imperial capital was not enough to be wasted like this.

"There are still five ships left. Let's try our luck again. Maybe the next one will succeed."

Alfred said.

Unlike the other three, he was quite optimistic.

"Alfrid, you are surprisingly calm. Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to find a usable ship?"

Cheryl asked in surprise.

"We'll think of other ways when the time comes. Instead of worrying about this, we still have five warships that we haven't tried yet, right? Let's go to the port where the next warship is docked."

Chloe turned on her personal terminal device and led the way for the others.

Halfway through her walk, she suddenly stopped.

Emilia seemed to have noticed something and became more alert.

"What happened to you guys?"

Cheryl, who felt nothing, looked at the two of them in confusion.

"There is a rift in this area, just like the one in the academy's main castle."

Alfred explained to Cheryl, thinking about how he and the others could enter this rift world. He thought it was definitely not a coincidence that the rift world appeared in the ruins of a military base.

Since Illya and Arya have built time and space mazes in the rift world, it is not surprising that the builders of this base tried to hide something in the rift world in the past.

The question now is how to enter this rift world.

Christina should be able to easily use her power to create an entrance to the rift world.

However, Luna and Sylvia left the academy these two days and searched for a suitable place near the imperial capital to house their newly recruited "New Demon King Army".

Alfred asked Christina to stay in the academy to protect Rose, Liliana and others.

"Al, should we go in and take a look?"

Emilia inquired.

"If possible. We don't know how to enter this rift world, and we don't know whether it will open at a fixed time such as at night like the rift world in the main castle of Illya and Arya."

"Hehe~ Leave this to me."

Emilia smiled confidently and stretched out her hand in the direction of the rift.

She cast some kind of analytical magic to try to analyze the nature of the rift world. After a few minutes, Emilia, who had completed the analysis, directly used space magic to open an entrance to the rift world.

It was only now that Alfred realized that Emilia could actually use such extremely complicated magic.

"It's done, we can go in...Al, what's the problem?"

Emilia tilted her head cutely.

"Who did you learn such complicated magic from, Emilia?"

"My sisters gave this to me. After all, mother is not good at using space magic~"

Emilia's words made Alfred somewhat concerned.

When Emilia was born, her mother, the Dragon God, should have been killed by Alfred.

But Emilia said that many magics were taught to her by the Dragon God himself. The Dragon God was not good at space magic, so Emilia asked her sisters to do it.

(Maybe I'm just overthinking it?)

"What are you two talking about? Come in quickly."

Sheryl urged.

She and Chloe passed through the entrance opened by Emilia and entered the interior of the rift world. Alfred also followed Emilia in.

The interior of the rift world is very similar to the previous base.

However, far away from the four of them, there was an extra-large dock.

There is also a super-large battleship docked inside the dock, but it is not known whether it is completed or not.

She was much larger than any warship Alfred had encountered before.

Chloe used detection equipment to measure and found that the battleship was more than two kilometers long, about five hundred meters high, and about eight hundred meters wide.

The width of this battleship alone is longer than the length of the battleships encountered before.

It is hard to imagine what the ancient civilization, which lived less than 1,300 years ago, built such large warships for.

Sheryl, who had lived in this civilization in the past and served in the military, was also very surprised.

"When I served, I shouldn't have been able to build such a large battleship. What on earth did those guys build this ship for? Let's go and take a look..."

Cheryl and the others suggested.

It took Alfred and his team a lot of effort just to find the entrance to the battleship.

However, the landing design of this battleship is completely different from those battleships outside.

There was no key card reader area, nor was there any obvious panel terminal that could be operated by humans.

When Alfred and the others were thinking about how to enter the ship, a small metal ball popped out from the top of the entrance. The ball floated in the air, emitting a light green light that shone on the four people.

[…Biometric authentication in progress…Biometric authentication failed, no permission…]

The metal ball scanned Cheryl, Emilia, and Chloe who were standing in front one by one.

After scanning Alfred, the metal ball emitted an electronically synthesized voice that sounded feminine.

After a pause of a few seconds, the metal ball made a warning sound again.

[Switching to soul scanning program...Soul scanning...]

The originally light green scanning light turned into a softer light blue beam.

[Colonel Vidania Nicole Ingelmus... does not have sufficient authority. ]

After the metal ball scanned Sheryl, it made a sound that sounded a little regretful. Then, it scanned Alfred and the others one after another in the same order.

[…Soul authentication failed, no authority…]

[…Soul authentication failed, no authority…]

In fact, when Alfred and the others heard that Sheryl had failed, they thought about giving up.

After all, among the four of them, only Cheryl was related to this relic. If Cheryl's authority could not enter the ship, then it would be even more impossible for others to enter through legal means.

But when the blue beam scanned Alfred, some changes occurred in the metal ball.

[…Soul authentication successful, Special Admiral Will Fila Ingelmus, authority approved… Welcome to our ship, the universal immigration ship Noaka…]

Then, the entrance to the ship opened for the four people.

"That senior, what's going on?"

Chloe looked at Alfred in confusion.

To be honest, Alfred himself was also confused.

Alfred had some impression of the name Will Fila Ingelmus, but because it was so long ago, he couldn't remember what he had done when he was reincarnated as this person.

(Wait a minute, Ingelmus...)

Alfred looked at Cheryl beside him. The last name was the same as Cheryl's in her previous life.

Cheryl was stunned for a while before she stared at Alfred with tears in her eyes.

"Why, why is it you?!"

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

Alfred.

At that time, he was still using the name Ars.

"Ah... Looks like I accidentally died again..."

Looking at the dreamy light blue sky in front of him, Alfred couldn't help but sigh.

The memory of his death was still very vivid, and he still felt phantom pain in his chest where the magic had just pierced it.

Alfred now has no body and exists solely as a soul.

To be honest, he felt that phantom pains and the like were completely unnecessary settings.

"Why, you don't want to see me so much~"

The girl, who looked like a goddess, complained in a voice as sweet as a silver bell, puffing up her cheeks slightly as she looked at Alfred lying on the ground.

Using the word "like" is actually problematic, the girl herself is a goddess.

"Because every time I see you, Noah, it means I die miserably again."

Alfred shrugged his shoulders and didn't take the girl's dissatisfaction seriously.

"If you don't have to die, would you want to see me?"

"I don't want to either, because Noah, you are too sinister. I can't guess what you are up to."

Alfred answered without hesitation.

"W-what?! I'm the goddess, how dare you say that to me? Let me teach you a lesson."

The girl - Goddess Destiny Noa grabbed Alfred's cheeks and began to squeeze them randomly.

"It hurts, Noah, please let go."

"I don't want to. Do you think I put so much effort into pulling your soul to me this time? How dare you treat me with such a bad attitude?"

"I was wrong, Noah, please stop it."

"Hmph, do you know how powerful I am?"

Noah stood up and put his hands on his hips, humming smugly.

"So, I'm the kind of person who's super popular. But I don't see goddesses every time I reincarnate. I don't see any gods at all, and the majority of the time I reincarnate directly."

Alfred inquired.

He was somewhat curious as to whether there was any special mechanism for allowing the goddess to be reincarnated.

“That’s why I’m annoyed by this… It’s that bastard who always snatches you from me… If I knew about this, I would never forgive him.”

Noah complained, biting his finger lightly.

She looked jealous now, and it seemed that she was possessive of Alfred because she liked him. But the truth was... Alfred probably had something very troublesome to deal with, and Noah simply asked him to help.

"So, goddess Miss Noya, what do you want me to reincarnate for this time?"

Alfred sighed helplessly.

If you meet a goddess reincarnated, she will most likely ask you to do a very troublesome job. And there is no reward, no thanks, and no right to refuse...

Even the factory managers of sweatshops and the bosses of unscrupulous companies would shed tears when they see the goddesses.

"Why do you think that if I want to obtain the reincarnation rights of your soul, I must ask you to work for me?"

Noah puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction again, squatted down and gently poked Alfred's cheek.

According to common sense, in Noah's current posture, Alfred could see the scenery under her skirt.

But what appeared before Alfred's eyes was a bottomless darkness.

(This is the legendary invisible realm... The goddess is really exaggerating and sinful~)

"Hey~ You pervert, what are you looking at?"

Noah tapped Alfred on the head in warning.

"The view under Miss Noah's dark skirt."

Alfred answered immediately.

"Tsk, you obviously had a lot of women to play with in your previous life, and you haven't had enough~ Really, if you weren't killed by the enemy magician on the battlefield, you would probably be stabbed by a woman, or die from overwork in bed, right?"

Noah complained with a look of disgust, but she had no intention of deliberately covering her skirt.

She probably thought that since Alfred couldn't see anything anyway, there was no point in covering it up.
