Chapter 10 - Erasure of False Divinity 10

I really didn't like what I made the episode 10 earlier, so I decided to start over and make a new version.

I also want to apologize if the fighting scene is terrible. I'm still new to writing action scenes.

I hope you still enjoy reading it, and thank you for giving this story a chance.

-----

That was the moment when Roleplay Season 2 truly began.

We went so far as to invite the creator of the game himself to appear, crafting a boss character who would assume the role of The God.

After countless meetings, discussions, and meticulous preparation, the Season Two finally began.

-----

Roleplay [The Erasure of False Divinity]

When Henry(Void) was fully released from the seal, no god, no system, and no authority responded.

This was not an oversight. It was the effect of [CONCEALED EXISTENCE].

Henry's presence, once unsealed, was rendered fundamentally difficult, bordering on impossible—for divine beings to perceive. His existence no longer registered as an observable anomaly. To gods, he was not hidden.

He was unrecognized.

Only one group was aware of what had occurred, The 41 Supreme Beings.

They alone knew the seal had been broken, because they were the ones who had made it possible. Through preparation, coordination, and the use of forbidden magic, they had assisted Henry's release, fully aware of the consequences.

To the outside world, nothing had changed.

To them, history had shifted.

Before departing, Henry did not immediately move against The God.

Instead, he stood within Nazarick's core chamber before the assembled 41 Supreme Beings. Their avatars filled the space in silence, the air heavy with combined authority.

Henry spoke only once, he requested to use two World Items. There was no urgency in his voice, no appeal—only calculation.

A long silence followed.

The Supreme Beings did not respond immediately, because this was not a matter of trust, it was a matter of structure. World Items were not weapons to be lent lightly. Each one represented an exception to the system, a fracture in the laws that governed existence.

The discussion that followed was measured, precise, and utterly devoid of humor.

They examined the situation from every angle.

Henry was preparing to confront The God directly. Not an administrator, not a proxy, but the highest authority embedded within the framework of existence itself.

No conventional force, no army, and no amount of numerical advantage could apply to such a confrontation.

They acknowledged another fact.

Henry was not an outsider.

He was one of the founders of Ainz ooal gown—one of the original architects who had shaped the guild alongside them. His authority did not come from power alone, but from legacy. From shared creation.

He had already contributed Sixteen World Items to the guild, all secured within Nazarick's vault. Each acquisition had strengthened the guild not through territory or conquest, but through leverage against the system itself.

More importantly, his objective had changed.

This was no longer a personal conflict born from resentment or ambition. Henry's purpose had become structural, to correct an imbalance at the highest level of authority.

If successful, the result would not benefit him alone, but redefine the boundaries under which all worlds operated.

The Supreme Beings understood it.

They also understood the risk.

If Henry failed, the loss of two World Items would be insignificant compared to the consequences that would follow.

If he succeeded, then refusing support would have meant standing against a necessary judgment.

The decision was reached without ceremony.

Permission was granted.

Not as an act of generosity, but as recognition of necessity.

Two World Items were released from Nazarick's vault and entrusted to Henry, not as instruments of domination, but to ensure that when Void reached The God, the judgment would be executed on equal terms.

No blessings were given.

No encouragement was spoken.

Henry inclined his head once, accepted the decision, and turned away.

The meeting was over.

World-Class Equipment Granted to Henry

World-Class Armor: Mantle That Repels All Physical Phenomena

Type: Defensive World Item

Effect: Complete immunity to all physical attacks

Limitation: Does not negate magical or conceptual damage

(This mantle did not block blows—it invalidated physical interaction altogether. Blades, impact, kinetic force, even reality-reinforced strikes simply failed to connect, as if Henry no longer occupied a physical layer.)

(It was not armor in the conventional sense.

It was a declaration: physical laws no longer applied.)

.....

World-Class Item: Necklace of Accelerated Mana Replenishment

Type: Support World Item

Effect: Extremely rapid MP regeneration, bypassing normal recovery limits

(The necklace functioned independently of natural mana flow. It did not wait for recovery—it forced replenishment, drawing mana from layers beneath the system's defined thresholds.)

(As long as it remained active, Henry's MP pool would refill at a rate no god-tier entity could naturally match.)

When Henry finally begin his journey, reality bent in silent obedience. Space did not tear, it yielded.

Distance collapsed into nothingness.

Coordinates unraveled, stripped of meaning.

The world offered no resistance, it simply restructured itself to accommodate his passage.

The dungeon where The God resided, an isolated dominion entombed within the deepest stratum of existence, a place where authority no longer ruled, only watched.

Without hesitation, Henry stepped inside.

-----

The moment henry crossed into the dungeon, the environment changed.

There were no walls in any conventional sense—only vast, layered structures of darkness stretching beyond perception. The space did not feel constructed; wherever the eye turned, an endless violet expanse unfolded, silent and unmoving.

This was not a place meant to be entered.

It was an open arena, declared by authority rather than built—an emptiness prepared to witness judgment rather than contain it.

Then, The God appeared.

There was no summoning circle, no surge of power, no distortion of space.

He simply walked forward.

One moment, the violet expanse lay empty, the next, His footsteps crossed it, slow and unhurried, as if the arena had always been existed only for Him.

He stopped at a measured distance from Henry. No cautious, no aggressive. Simply certain that the world would make room for Him.

They faced one another.

Neither attacked.

Neither moved first.

The dungeon held its breath.

The God observed Henry closely, his gaze dissecting layers of existence, tracing authority, searching for the seal that should have defined him, and finding nothing. "Explain this to me. Why do you stand here—outside the seal? when you were meant to remain within it? I cannot understand Void."

"Don't call me that."

"Then what should I call you?" He let out a quiet, dismissive breath. "Trying to sound terrifying doesn't make you meaningful. I'll call you The Failed Concept. It fits better."

Henry's eyes darkened.

"My name is Henry Abyssar. And you are nothing but a failed excuse of a father. A creator who couldn't bear what he made. So you broke it, sealed it, and called that 'order'."

The God's expression did not change, then he ask "Then tell me, why do you hate me so much?"

"You're really asking that? You broke the order of the world by using me and Light simply because you couldn't tolerate an existence different from your own." As he spoke, fragments of old laws surfaced around them—echoes of past eras, broken and discarded.

"You didn't raise a child. You discarded a mistake and pretended it was justice." His gaze sharpened. "And after all of that, you sealed me. And you still ask why I despise you?"

The God chuckle a little. "Come on now. That was centuries ago."

"And you would do it again—without hesitation. All you've ever brought to this world is ruin. You've torn it apart time and time again, just as you did in those forgotten ages."

Without hesitation, Henry attacked first. He stepped forward—and erased the distance itself. [ERASURE STEP] Henry surged and appeared before The God, his hand closing around divine authority itself.

[VOID GRASP]

For a brief instant, The God was driven downward, forced into the violet ground as layers of defense, resistance, and regeneration peeled away—not shattered, but deleted in sequence.

The dungeon shook.

The God slipped free in a single fluid motion, retreating several meters as the terrain bent to allow his escape.

Henry spoke in the Ancient Language, his voice cold and absolute. "Hic morieris, pater. Ex voluntate Vacui, omnis existentia finem habet."

(You will die here, Father. By the will of the Void, all existence meets its end.)

The God responded in the same forgotten tongue, his tone calm, almost indulgent. "Veni, fili meus. Redi ad ordinem unde creatus es."

(Come to me, my child.Return to the order from which you were born.)

Crimson sigils ignited beneath the God feet as he reestablished dominion over space.

Then the God raised his hand. Above him, a massive magic circle formed, activated. And from it emerged countless weapons of pure mana—blades, spears, and lances, before launching themselves toward Henry in a violent storm.

Henry did not move.

Black void-smoke silently enveloped his body. [BLACK SMOKE FORM] active. The weapons reached him— and passed through. There was no impact, no resistance, no collision. The weapons shattered and dispersing into particles of light.

In the same moment, Henry rose into the air.

From above, he unleashed a barrage of offensive magic, twin magic circles, one blue, one black—manifested behind him, rotating in opposing directions as Void Mana self-generated endlessly within his core.

[NULL ZONE] deployed. The space beneath Henry darkened. Enemy buffs faltered. Divine efficiency dropped. System authority lost coherence.

From above, Henry extended one hand. The wave of spell spells crashing downward toward The God.

The God moved, he sprinted across the battlefield, circling rapidly around Henry, narrowly evading each strike as explosions of mana tore through the violet ground.

The moment the assault ended, The God counterattacked, turning and launching his own spells toward Henry without pause. Multiple spells firing simultaneously, compressed and sharpened by divine judgment, their trajectories flawless.

Henry met them head-on, A solid wall of magic formed instantly before him. The incoming spells detonated upon contact, colliding again and again against his defense. The impact shook the battlefield, mana surging violently as explosions overlapped.

Smoke engulfed the area where Henry are. For a brief moment, even divine perception lost clarity. And henry used it.

The instant the barrage ceased, he erased the distance. Faster than light, Henry emerged from the smoke—standing directly above The God.

No warning. No hesitation.

They clashed.

Fist met fist.

Blow after blow was exchanged at point-blank range, each strike carrying authority capable of crushing worlds. The air shattered with every impact, shockwaves rippling outward across the violet ground.

Yet Henry took no damage. Not a single strike registered, not even a fraction of erosion applied.

Pressed back, The God reacted. With a surge of force, he seized Henry and hurled him upward, sending him flying high into the domain's sky.

Henry did not resist. He use it to his advantage.

Midair, he twisted—magic stabilizing his form, as a Ten massive magic circle unfolded beneath him. Vast. Complex. Layered with blue and black sigils rotating in absolute synchronization.

The circle completed. And then—

The spell crashed down toward the God, authority-infused sigils burning as he forced its will upon the domain. It struck the one who claimed rulership, slamming into The God with overwhelming force.

And it did not stop.

The magic continued, layer upon layer of destructive authority pressing down, crushing, eroding, denying.

For over thirty seconds, the dungeon was consumed by cascading impact waves as henry refused to relent.

The violet land fractured endlessly beneath the assault. Authority lines shattered and reformed, only to be broken again. The domain screamed—not in sound, but in instability.

When the spell finally dissipated, silence followed.

At the center of the devastation lay The God.

Broken. Motionless.

His authority flickering, fractured beyond recovery.

Henry descended slowly, Void settling around him like a final judgment.

He raised his hand.

No chant. No circle. No preparation.

Only absolute authority.

[AUTHORITY OF DESTRUCTION]

This was not a spell.

It was a function beyond the system.

Concepts unraveled. Laws lost definition. Divinity failed to qualify.

The God was erased. His existence was removed from the system itself—deleted from the world, from history, from causality. There was no trace left behind. No record. No echo.

Where a god had once stood, there was only absence.

The dungeon stabilized.

The system fell silent.

And Void stood alone—having corrected what should never have existed.

------

"And cut."

The tension dissolved instantly.

The oppressive presence of divinity vanished, replaced by the familiar hum of the system stabilizing itself.

A new interface shimmered into existence.

Several figures appeared—avatars clearly marked as Developers. One of them let out a long breath, rubbing his face. "Alright… That was way more intense than we expected."

Another developer laughed nervously."The system barely kept up."

A third shook their head while scrolling through combat logs. "The special effects alone are a nightmare to apply in a fight like that."

Henry let out a quiet breath, his avatar finally relaxing. "You were the one who wanted a complex story, No shortcuts. No safety nets."

One of the developers winced. "…We didn't think you'd take it that far."

Henry glanced at the fading combat logs, voice flat. "You asked for something that wouldn't feel scripted, So I made it real."

At that moment, only Henry and the developers remained.

The roleplay currently active had been designed for two entities only—Henry and The God. No players. No observers. Everything else had been temporarily removed to preserve narrative integrity.

Someone glanced at the system readout and muttered, half in disbelief, "…We really went all out."

Because it was a live broadcast, not a recorded video, the moment Henry began his roleplay, the stream exploded.

Viewer counts surged uncontrollably.

Chat scrolled faster than the system could render.

Clips were being created in real time, spreading across platforms before the scene had even ended.

Even the developers stared at the analytics in silence. "…This is insane, we didn't even promote this properly."

Another nodded, eyes fixed on the numbers. "This isn't just popular. This is an event-level."

Henry stepped forward, his footsteps echoing softly through the dungeon. "So," he asked, his tone neutral, unreadable. "Was the result satisfactory?"

The developers exchanged glances. "Satisfactory?" one of them repeated, then laughed. He shook his head, smiling wide. "No. It was perfect!"

He gestured around the dungeon.

"The event data, player engagement, live reactions—this roleplay just pushed YGGDRASIL's popularity through the roof!!"

Almost instantly, notifications began flooding in.

Other members joined the private group chat one after another, messages overlapping as they discussed the roleplay Henry had just performed, already trending across forums and livestream clips.

[PRIVATE SYSTEM CHANNEL: DEV ⇄ AINZ OOAL GOWN]

Bukubukuchagama: WAIT—DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT LIVE?!

Peroroncino: I'M STILL WATCHING THE CLIPS. HOW IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED???

Yamaiko: The viewer count is literally jumped like five times in under a minute.

Tabula Smaragdina: That authority overwrite… that wasn't normal combat logic, is the game even have that mechanic?.

Momonga: Everyone, calm down!! Please speak one at a time!!!

Peroroncino: NO! I REFUSE!! HE LITERALLY ERASED A GOD ON STREAM!!!

Bukubukuchagama: THE CHAT WAS MOVING SO FAST IT LAGGED MY CLIENT!!

Ulbert: Naturally. Concept-level interaction tends to do that.

Touch Me: Ulbert, don't act like this was expected.

Ulbert: Oh, I didn't say expected. I said inevitable.

Yamaiko: Forums are already calling it "The Fall Event."

Tabula Smaragdina: There are theory threads popping up faster than mods can lock them.

Momonga: …This is bigger than I thought.

Bukubukuchagama: Bigger? Momonga, this is legendary-tier content.

Touch Me: Then can someone explain why the developers just opened a private channel.

Ulbert: Because they felt it too.

Momonga: Felt what?

Ulbert: Pressure.

Peroroncino: LOL. THEY BROKE THEIR OWN SYSTEM FOR CONTENT.

Yamaiko: Trending on three platforms already.

Tabula Smaragdina: If they don't respond properly, this will go spiral.

Ulbert: Which is why they will respond.

Touch Me: …Ulbert, what did you do?

Ulbert: Nothing yet. But, i intend to make sure they don't waste this moment.

After waiting for the chat to relax a bit, the developer finally enter the chat group

Lead Developer: We are here, because we've reached a decision.

[SYSTEM NOTICE: SPECIAL ADMIN ACTION PENDING]

Lead Developer: This dungeon was originally designed as a temporary boss event. But after what happened here… it's no longer just a dungeon.

It's a legend.

Momonga: …And your decision is?

Lead Developer: We plan to officially grant this dungeon to you.

Ulbert: …You're giving it to us?

For real?

Bukubukuchagama: WAIT—LIKE, ACTUALLY GIVING IT?? Not just a timed event?!

Lead Developer: As a reward. For your cooperation. For your creativity. And for pushing YGGDRASIL's exposure beyond anything we imagined.

Peroroncino: Haha—no kidding, my feed is on fire. Clips are everywhere already.

Touch Me: So this dungeon really becomes ours?

Lead Developer: Fully. Ownership rights. Customization authority. Narrative freedom.

Tabula Smaragdina: …Customization authority, you say. Down to internal structure and lore flags?

Lead Developer: Yes. Down to that level.

Momonga: And the system?

Lead Developer: The system will recognize it as a player-controlled domain.

Ulbert: …Then this truly is fitting. A dungeon born from the fall of a false god—becoming a permanent mark on the world.

Touch Me: Players won't forget this.

Peroroncino: Forget? They're already arguing whether this was scripted or not.

Lead Developer: That's exactly the point…So, have you decided on a name yet?

Momonga: We're discussing it. So… if this is our first dungeon, we should probably give it a proper name.

Ulbert: Indeed. Something that reflects its scale, its purpose… its inevitability.

Touch Me: It has to feel like more than just a base. Something that makes an impression the moment someone hears it.

Peroroncino: I vote for something mysterious. Dark, but elegant. Like… 'Oblivion' or 'Eclipse'.

Bukubukuchagama: Those sound way to dramatic, but… a little too on-the-nose dosn't it? We need weight, history… even if it doesn't exist yet.

Tabula Smaragdina: It must convey permanence. Authority. Presence.

Momonga: Authority… permanence… a name that carries the feeling of inevitability…

Henry: I have it. It should be short, memorable, and commanding respect.

Momonga: And what is it?

Henry: Nazarik.

Touch Me: Nazarik… yes. It resonates.

Peroroncino: I like it. Simple. Strong. And Mysterious.

Momonga: Then it is settled. Our first dungeon… our home… Nazarik.

(A moment of silence as the decision settles.)

[SYSTEM NOTICE: DUNGEON NAME CONFIRMED — NAZARIK]

Ulbert: Very well. If this world remembers ...—then we will make sure it never forgets.

Bukubukuchagama: Okay that line alone is going to spawn conspiracy threads.

Lead Developer: ...That's honestly terrifying.

Ulbert: Good.

(brief silence)

Ulbert: …You know, I can't help but feel something's missing.

Developer #2: Missing?

Tabula Smaragdina: I was thinking the same. This kind of reward doesn't match the scale of what just happened.

Ulbert: Don't get me wrong. A permanent dungeon, full ownership, narrative freedom—very generous.

But let's be honest. This wasn't just roleplay.

Lead Developer: Go on.

Ulbert: This was a live stress test of your highest-level systems. Divine authority mechanics. System overwrite resistance. Concept-level entities.

You gathered data today that you couldn't have obtained in months of internal testing.

Touch Me: I mean, he's not wrong.

Peroroncino: Yeah, even I could see the server hiccup during the Void phases.

Ulbert: And on top of that—the roleplay is already trending everywhere. Forums. Streams. Speculation threads.

Players are obsessed.

Bukubukuchagama: They're already shipping henry with the system, somehow. I don't even know how that works.

Lead Developer: …So, what are you asking for?

Henry: There is one matter you haven't addressed.

Developer #5: Go on.

Henry: Nazarik will not function under standard NPC parameters.

Tabula Smaragdina: That's unavoidable, honestly.

Lead Developer: …Explain.

Henry: The NPCs here will not be a merely decorations. They will witness the rise of Nazarik. They cannot be scripted puppets.

Touch Me: If they're bound by shallow AI limits, immersion breaks instantly.

Momonga: More than that—Nazarik's identity collapses.

Bukubukuchagama: They need personalities. Consequences. Memory.

Lead Developer: So you want enhanced NPC behavior?

Henry: No.

I want autonomous entities.

(channel goes completely silent)

Ulbert: Which brings us to our first request. Exclusive mechanics. Custom NPC AI behavior. Non-standard boss logic.

Henry: And immunity from future balance patches or updates that would attempt to "normalize" Nazarik.

Developer #4: That's… a lot.

Peroroncino: So was letting him delete a god live.

Ulbert: And so was erasing a god from your own system.

Henry: Nazarik should not be bound by rules designed for ordinary content.

Lead Developer: (sigh emoji) …Continue.

Ulbert: Second. Narrative priority. If future world events involve gods, concepts, or system anomalies—Nazarik is canonically involved.

No off-screen resolutions. No retcons.

If the world shakes—it shakes around us.

Developer #5: You're asking to become a permanent pillar of the story.

Tabula Smaragdina: From a design perspective? They already are.

Ulbert: We already are.

Lead Developer: …You really don't know when to stop, do you? (Tired emoji)

Ulbert: I do.

When the deal becomes fair.

Henry: So?

Lead Developer: Alright.

Exclusive mechanics—approved, under observation.

Advanced NPC autonomy—approved, restricted to Nazarik.

Narrative priority—conditional, but acknowledged.

[SYSTEM NOTICE: SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS GRANTED — NAZARIK]

Bukubukuchagama: HOLY—THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES.

Ulbert: See? That wasn't so hard.

Lead Developer: You're dangerous.

Ulbert: I prefer efficient.
