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

Chapter 951: The Conditions Needed to Break the Shackles

"No, I just think you’re genuinely determined."Freya’s decision was absolutely genuine—Loki could tell she truly intended to disband the familia.

"Well, anyway, it’s fortunate we have the five of us. Even if it gets exposed, it won’t be that big of a deal."

With that, the matter among the five of them was easily set aside. Though it was certainly major news that five goddesses had taken an interest in one person, compared to what followed, this news was hardly that important.

"Bell, the next problem lies with you."

"Mhm."

Bell didn’t deny this.

"The Dungeon conquest was simply Mother’s way of preparing me to step into the triple digits. After I complete this step, the next task will be reshaping both worlds and unlocking the seal that has been holding the gods back from progressing further."

The goddesses present couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing this.

"Is such a thing truly possible?"

The topic was exciting, and even gods couldn’t resist the allure of moving forward. The created gods had been trapped at their current stage for hundreds of millions of years. If it were easy to progress, they wouldn’t have been stuck for so long.

"It can be done."

Bell was certain about this and had a rough understanding of the reason for the limitation.

"Actually, the upper limit of gods is determined by the highest ceiling possible. The world’s height restricts the maximum potential of gods within it, which is why this limitation exists for them."

"Mother’s situation is unique, much like Miss Shiki Ryougi’s."

"They are the world itself, so their limits were set long ago, preventing further growth. Even if they developed countless parallel worlds, those worlds wouldn’t offer them any extra help. At best, they could only serve to filter what’s right and wrong."

"Just like that guy I faced in the end."

Bell used his own situation as a vivid example to explain.

"Five digits denote the power tier between demigods and gods. That entity’s power had broken through the five-digit threshold. Breaking the threshold means surpassing the five-digit standard—it’s a rare exception."

"No matter how many ’Bell Cranel’ versions Mother fused from parallel worlds, no matter how many fusions they performed, they still couldn’t transcend the four-digit limit. They couldn’t reach my four-digit exceptional status. This proves the world’s constraints are far too restrictive."

"So, if we break through this layer of limitation, stagnant gods will have the chance to progress."

It sounds simple enough—breaking through the so-called constraints, unshackling the gods.

But the problem is, if this were easy to do, gods wouldn’t have been stagnant for hundreds of millions of years. Breaking these constraints is absolutely no easy task.

"Sounds incredibly troublesome."

Loki couldn’t help but complain.

"It sounds incredibly troublesome, but actually doing it isn’t particularly difficult. It’s just that before starting, there are some preliminary preparations that need to be done—and those preparations are exceptionally troublesome."

In truth, creating a world was no longer a problem for Bell.

Having completed his self-convergence and the convergence of his Authority, he had achieved true "omniscience and omnipotence." Under these circumstances, creating a world was no longer a challenge.

Therefore, merging two worlds was no longer a problem either.

Freya stared at Bell for a moment before silently muttering.

"So finding you, urging your growth, and pushing you past the three-digit mark—was all part of the preparation?"

"......Yeah, that was indeed part of the prep."

After an awkward silence, Bell finally admitted that it was indeed part of the "preparation."

"The other preparations weren’t for Mother or Miss Shiki Ryougi, but for myself. Only by fully creating the ’Simulated Star Creation Map’ and using it as the core could I forge my ideal world."

"I also needed to connect human history and imbue it with both despair and hope."

"You could say all these were preparations I had to make."

"Doesn’t that mean most of the groundwork had to be done by you alone?"

Freya finally understood why the gods had been stuck at this stage for hundreds of millions of years without any progress. This was absolutely not without reason.

A special artifact like the "Simulated Star Creation Map" was simply beyond the capabilities of the gods.

And to add human history, despair, and hope to it—if the gods could actually accomplish this, wouldn’t that be utterly ridiculous?

"No wonder the ’World’ poured everything into you. Most of the preparations weren’t things the ’World’ could help you complete—they were things you had to accomplish yourself."

"Highly unique."

It could be said that Bell had expended immense effort to reach this point, even pouring considerable thought into fulfilling these preliminary preparations.

Indeed, had Bell’s journey deviated even slightly, the task of merging worlds would never have been so straightforward.

"Mm, it does possess a certain uniqueness."

Bell couldn’t deny the "uniqueness" of it all.

The very existence of the "Simulated Star Creation Map" was inherently singular—no duplicates could exist. The one Bell created was a culmination of countless coincidences. Without simultaneously embodying both despair and hope, the "Dualism of Good and Evil" could never have been forged.

The "Simulated Star Chart" is exceptionally unique. Had I not controlled it when first activated, the mere power fluctuations generated in that instant could have reduced the entire world to ashes."

"Its purpose is profoundly singular. Not just anyone can wield it."

"That is precisely why the ’Simulated Creation Star Chart’ can serve as the foundation and basis for creating higher-level worlds." Of course, it was only because all these conditions were met that Bell could proceed with greater ease.

Had even one condition been missing, altering the current state of the gods would have been utterly impossible.

"Then there are other matters that require discussion with the gods."

Indeed, negotiations with the pantheon were still pending at this moment.
