Chapter 2089: Sato Kazuma's Selectable "Hacks": "Imagination Manifestation" and "Concept Manipulation"
“Mr. Kazuma Sato, your life in the real world has ended.”
"According to the records, you were in an accident while trying to save a child who was about to be hit by an out-of-control vehicle."
Aqua spoke gently to Kazuma Sato.
Upon hearing this, Kazuma Sato's face also revealed a complicated expression.
Having come here and learned the truth of his own death, even though he died saving someone, he was still dead.
I'm still feeling melancholy.
However, that was the first time in his life that he had given his life to save someone else.
I never imagined my death would be in this way.
"Actually, I didn't think too much at the time. I just saw the child standing in the middle of the road, and the car was about to hit him, so my body just started moving on its own."
He scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"It is precisely this unthinking kindness that is all the more precious."
Aqua nodded slightly, her voice sincere.
"Being able to instinctively choose to save others in a life-or-death situation is itself a heroic act."
"Your death was not in vain; that child was saved because of you."
Although she wouldn't have died in the first place, Sato Kazuma wouldn't have died under normal circumstances either.
In a way that is "scared to death".
Even your parents couldn't help but laugh when they arrived at the hospital and learned the cause of your death.
"Thank you. I feel much better."
Kazuma Sato was so moved by her words that his eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded vigorously.
Hahaha, he believed it, he completely believed it.
Did the person die because of others' ridicule while being rescued in the hospital, and then their brain forgot about it because of shame?
As expected of you, Kazuma Sato. I'll probably never forget you for the rest of my life.
However, Aqua maintained her sacred and gentle expression and continued:
"Well then, Mr. Kazuma Sato, we will now proceed to an important step in the reincarnation process."
"As a recognition of your good deeds in your lifetime, and to help you survive and thrive in this other world, we will grant you a special ability."
She waved her hand gently, and instantly rows of glittering options appeared on the desktop, each radiating a golden light.
"Mastery of all magic", "Legendary weapon", "Super speed regeneration", "All attribute resistance enhancement", "World's strongest swordsmanship".
There are hundreds of these options.
Sato Kazuma's eyes lit up instantly when he saw these abilities, and he almost lay on the table.
"Are all of these options available? Can we really choose?"
"of course."
Aqua smiled and nodded.
"You can choose one of these as your companion ability when you travel to another world."
"However, you can only choose one."
"You can only choose one."
Kazuma Sato was caught in a happy dilemma, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the options, his face full of conflict.
"Mastering all magic sounds great; once you learn magic in another world, you'll be invincible. Legendary weapons are cool too; getting one of these artifacts will take you straight to the pinnacle of life."
"With super-fast regeneration, I won't have to worry about getting killed; and with the world's strongest swordsmanship, becoming a swordsman wouldn't be bad."
"It's such a difficult choice."
I want them all, and I don't want to give up any of them, but I can only choose one.
This is torture.
Aqua nodded inwardly as she looked at Kazuma Sato's hesitant expression.
Yes, yes, that's it.
Keep worrying about your cheat, and don't even think about the "choose a goddess" option.
She was determined not to suffer in another world with this guy.
The thought of living in a thatched hut, being swallowed by frogs, and working every day made her scalp tingle.
If she really went with them, she would truly be a fool.
what?
You said she saw the memory copy, didn't she feel anything at all?
Feelings are one thing, but they don't affect her choice.
Just as Aqua was thinking this, Kazuma Sato suddenly looked up and stared at her.
"Your Majesty, do you have any suggestions?"
Kazuma Sato scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly.
"This is my first reincarnation, so I don't have much experience and I don't know much about these abilities."
Aqua's smile froze slightly.
She wanted to say, "You can choose for yourself," but looking at Kazuma Sato's sincere eyes, she couldn't refuse directly, otherwise it would seem too unprofessional.
She had no choice but to steel herself, adopt a dignified posture, clear her throat, and say:
"Well, since you're so eager to ask for my advice, I'll give you some suggestions."
She stood up, walked over to the options, and pointed to a few of them.
"First of all, if you want to be on the safe side, I suggest you choose the 'Super Regeneration' ability; with it, you won't have to worry about getting injured, and as long as it's not a fatal injury, you can recover quickly."
"When adventuring in another world, the ability to survive is the most important thing."
Kazuma Sato nodded thoughtfully.
"That makes sense. What about divine artifacts? Aren't legendary weapons incredibly powerful?"
"The artifact is indeed very powerful, but it might be stolen."
Aqua shook her head.
"If you are not strong enough, even if you have a divine artifact, it may be stolen from you."
"Moreover, divine artifacts also have a limited durability. If they are damaged, it will be very difficult to find a craftsman who can repair them."
"That's true."
Kazuma Sato stroked his chin and asked again.
"So what do you think I should choose?"
Aqua pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Considering that your ultimate mission is to defeat the Demon King, I suggest you choose a powerful ability."
"Demon King?"
Kazuma Sato was stunned for a moment. No, there really is a Demon King in another world?
"Of course there are."
Aqua nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"You were reincarnated into another world, essentially a chosen hero, shouldering the mission of defeating the Demon King and saving the world."
"The Demon King is extremely powerful, and ordinary weapons and skills are unlikely to pose a threat to him."
That's why I suggested you choose ability.
Kazuma Sato's face instantly fell.
"I'm going to fight the Demon King? Really?"
Is it really possible for a shut-in like him to defeat the Demon King? This isn't a game; there's no second chance.
"This is fate."
Aqua shrugged, and although she hid it well, you could still hear a hint of schadenfreude in her tone.
"However, if you choose and use your abilities well, you might be able to defeat the Demon King."
"for example?"
"I can't wait to hear it," Kazuma Sato asked expectantly.
Aqua thought for a moment, then held up her fingers and counted them one by one:
"For example, 'fantasy manifestation' can materialize anything you imagine into reality. As long as you have enough imagination, you can create any weapon or prop."
"Another example is 'concept manipulation,' which can modify the concept of things within a certain range, such as changing an enemy's curse to healing, or changing death to wakefulness."
"There is also 'causal reversal,' which means determining the result first and then deriving the cause in reverse."
Kazuma Sato was stunned.
"Can these abilities really be chosen? Even the Demon King couldn't possibly be a match for them, could he?"
The realization of fantasy is considered good; the distortion of concepts and the reversal of cause and effect are truly sinister.
He could even fabricate a lie that he had defeated the Demon King, and then use energy to turn that lie into reality.
Is this kind of ability definitely an option?
No, wait a minute, if a demon king can only be defeated with such an ability, could he also possess a similar ability himself?
Aqua didn't know what Kazuma Sato was thinking, but after hearing his words, she said:
"Theoretically, it is possible."
"However, these abilities all have certain limitations and conditions for use, and they are very mentally taxing on the user."
"For example, with 'fantasy manifestation,' if your imagination is not rich enough and you cannot imagine complete things, and your mental strength is not stable enough, the manifested things may be incomplete or even out of control."
“‘Conceptual manipulation’ also requires you to have a certain understanding of the essence of things, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.”
“If ‘reversal of cause and effect’ is used improperly, it may lead to serious paradoxes of cause and effect, and even the whole world may be doomed as a result.”
Kazuma Sato's lips twitched slightly as he listened. So every ability has a flaw, huh?
However, after thinking about it, he still said:
"My goddess, you just said that my mission is to defeat the Demon King?"
"Yes."
"If I defeat the Demon King, can I live a peaceful life?"
"Of course. After defeating the Demon King, you will be the hero who saves the world, and you will be loved and respected by the people and live a prosperous life."
Aqua nodded without hesitation.
"If that's the case, why don't I just choose an ability that will make me rich in this other world from the start, like turning stones into gold, and then live a wealthy life right away?"
Kazuma Sato spread his hands and said.
Aqua paused for a moment.
"what?"
"Think about it, if I'm reincarnated into another world, I don't necessarily have to become a hero and fight the demon king, right?"
“I can do business, open shops, buy a large estate, hire a group of beautiful maids, and live a life where everything is done for me.”
"Isn't this much better than fighting to the death?"
Kazuma Sato gestured with his hands.
He had no obsession with becoming a hero, and he was indifferent to the love and respect of others.
Rather than going through a lot of hardship, even risking death, to defeat the Demon King and then live a peaceful life, it's better to live a peaceful life from the start.
The world doesn't stop turning just because he's gone. The Demon King is still in that world, and he hasn't perished yet, has he?
So don't take yourself too seriously.
Aqua's lips twitched slightly.
Is that all you've got?
Although I already knew about Kazuma Sato's personality, and that it would be normal for him to do this, seeing it with my own eyes, he really is a sadistic Kazuma.
In the past, heroes who were reincarnated into another world all took it upon themselves to eliminate the Demon King.
Even if they weren't really prepared to do it, they would still agree readily on the surface.
"That's called being wise."
Sato and Mari retorted confidently.
"I don't want to go to my death right after being reincarnated."
"The Demon King is so powerful, what if I can't defeat him? Wouldn't it be a pointless death?"
"I've finally been given a second chance at life, so of course I want to live it to the fullest and live a life of luxury!"
Aqua opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.
If it were her, she would definitely do the same.
Who wants to fight that Demon King? Wouldn't it be better to find a place to eat, drink, and have fun?
If her past self hadn't been dragged to another world by Kazuma Sato and hadn't had to defeat the Demon King to return to the God Realm, she wouldn't have thought of persuading Kazuma Sato to destroy the Demon King.
She shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind, and then resumed her dignified posture:
“Mr. Kazuma Sato, I understand your thoughts, but if you don’t defeat the Demon King, he will eventually lead his army to attack human towns.”
"At that time, your manor, your maids, and your wonderful life will all be destroyed by the Demon King."
"So, defeating the Demon King isn't just about saving the world, it's also about protecting your own happy life."
Kazuma Sato paused for a moment, then said, "If that's what you're saying, then it does make sense."
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh:
"Okay, that's true. It seems I still need to choose someone with fighting ability."
He turned his gaze back to the options, a serious expression on his face.
Aqua smiled, waiting for Kazuma Sato to make his final choice.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes.
Aqua's expression had become somewhat impatient, and the smile on her lips could barely be maintained.
Is choosing a cheat program really that difficult? Do you know how tiring it is to do it?!
Just as she was about to urge him, Kazuma Sato suddenly turned around and looked at her again.
Aqua's expression instantly returned to normal, dignified, sacred, and gentle, as if her previous impatience was fake.
"Have you made your choice, Mr. Kazuma Sato?"
She asked with a smile, her voice gentle.
"Well, it is."
Kazuma Sato nodded, but his gaze did not return to the options; instead, it remained fixed on Aqua.
"My Goddess, how strong are you?"
Aqua was slightly taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, but she still instinctively puffed out her chest, her tone carrying a hint of pride.
"As the goddess of water, I naturally possess great power."
"Whether it's controlling the weather, summoning floods, healing wounds, or dispelling evil, I can do it all."
"Even if I face the elite of the Demon King's army, I can easily handle them."
However, despite saying that, Aqua felt a strange sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"If it were you, even defeating the Demon King would be a simple matter, wouldn't it?"
Kazuma Sato gave a meaningful smile.
Aqua's smile froze instantly. Could it be what she was thinking?
"If the divine realm didn't forbid gods from descending to the mortal realm without permission, many gods in the divine realm could easily destroy the Demon King."
Please don't think it's what she's thinking!
