Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Anran — I’m a Firm Believer in Materialism

[Notice: ”This is an Actor” has ended the livestream. Total viewers: 10. Duration: 50 minutes. Total points earned: 500.]

This is an Actor: Thanks for watching.

Doujin Artist: Pfft, I was still caught up in it. That line totally broke the mood!

Machete Girl: Right? It really felt like we were watching a movie.

Wig Guy: Well, in a way, it’s not much different from watching a movie now.

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: It’s better than a movie.

Curly-haired Guy: What are you talking about? Don’t tell me you’ve actually seen a movie before? I doubt there’s a cinema on Skull Island!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: I’ve seen one—Kong: Skull Island.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Uh... watching a movie where you’re the main character? That’s kinda weird.

Doujin Artist: And he even thought it was bad!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Of course it was. The female lead ran off with some other guy in the end.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft.

Doujin Artist: What do you mean ”ran off with some other guy”?! She was never into you to begin with! She was part of the human storyline—you were in the Kong storyline. Those were two totally separate storylines that were never meant to mix!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Why are you getting so worked up? I was just joking.

Doujin Artist: ”Worked up”? I was roasting you!

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Wow, Rati can actually tell jokes now?

Shark-Faced Guy: Yeah, but the way he said it didn’t sound like a joke at all.

This is an Actor: I can understand why Rati might feel a bit down, though. But like I said before, human girls just aren’t for you.

Curly-haired Guy: President’s right—you should just go for Godzilla instead.

Kong instantly imagined himself in a sweet relationship with Godzilla... and shivered. That lizard face was terrifying. No thanks!

Doujin Artist: Wow, seriously? You’re a freaking Kong and you think Godzilla looks scary?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Bro, you’re not really in a position to talk.

Curly-haired Guy: Exactly! What’s wrong with a lizard face? Even people with shark faces are welcome in our group!

Shark-Faced Guy: ?

Machete Girl: Gin-san, that’s some pretty pointed shade you’re throwing.

Soul Society’s Bad Guy: What did Kisame ever do to deserve this?

Doujin Artist: Wait, you guys totally sidetracked me—I forgot the important question! That move Anran-san used just now... was that part of the rule-based powers too?

This is an Actor: No, that was my divine form. Or to put it simply—my god body.

Machete Girl: A god body? Like the body of a real god?

This is an Actor: Something like that. When I reach the level of a god, that’s my true form. It’s made from the power of rules and represents my authority.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Just showing your true form was enough to scare Kihara Gensei to death?

This is an Actor: He wasn’t exactly scared to death. He broke a rule that says mortals can’t look directly at a god. Gods are not to be spoken of, named, or looked at directly.

Doujin Artist: Ohh, so does that mean your divine position is from the Cthulhu mythos? Are you an Old One or an Elder God?

This is an Actor: You’ve got a pretty wild imagination. If I really were from the Cthulhu mythos, you’d all be drooling messes by now.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: What’s the Cthulhu mythos?

Machete Girl: It’s kind of hard to explain... Think of them like evil gods. But way more powerful than the ones we normally hear about. Just seeing or hearing them can mess up your mind.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Yikes... that bad?

Doujin Artist: Yeah, it’s basically mental pollution. Their physical strength isn’t that great, but their ability to mess with your mind is unbeatable. For regular humans, even one of the minor creatures from that mythos showing up in the real world would be enough to destroy everything.

Curly-haired Guy: Hey, don’t go telling scary stories in the group chat!

Wig Guy: Gintoki, are you scared?

Curly-haired Guy: What the hell are you talking about? You think I, Gin-san, would be scared? Do you not remember my old title? I was the White Yaksha, damn it!

Wig Guy: Then why are you hiding in the heater?

Curly-haired Guy: Obviously because I’m looking for the entrance to the underworld! I’m gonna wipe out the entire Cthulhu mythos!

Doujin Artist: Man, you really know how to talk nonsense.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Anran-san, that little cake from earlier tasted pretty good, right?

This is an Actor: It was fine.

As someone from Huaxia, Anran wasn’t really into having sweets for dinner. But it was a kind gesture from the girl, after all.

Curly-haired Guy: Damn it, cake! I want some too!

Doujin Artist: Same here. All the shops in this part of town have closed down lately. Can’t even find a Coke, let alone cake.

Soul Society’s Bad Guy: Things are getting worse on Eriri ’s side?

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Are the human military forces not enough?

Doujin Artist: Yeah. They could still manage the mutant beasts on land, but now the ones from the sea have started coming ashore too. From what I’ve heard, the higher-ups are thinking about giving up on the coastal cities.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Want some help?

Doujin Artist: Not for now. I want to see where this whole situation will take humanity. I feel like if we step in too soon, it might mess things up instead.

Machete Girl: Letting humans decide their own path, huh? That’s some serious resolve, Eriri-chan. But still, there’s no way you can save everyone on your own, right?

This is an Actor: That’s exactly why it shouldn’t be up to one person to save everyone. Creating happiness for humanity should be the work of humanity as a group, not any single person. That’s what aligns with historical materialism.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: But Anran-san, you’re a god, right? And according to what you said before, gods are a product of idealism. So how can you say you’re a materialist? Isn’t that a contradiction?

This is an Actor: I’m a god, but I’m also a firm believer in materialism. There’s no conflict in that, is there?

Doujin Artist: No, I think there is. Out of all the worlds out there, you’re probably the only god claiming to be a materialist. Aren’t you just digging your own grave?

This is an Actor: Eh. Doesn’t matter. It’s not like I rely on belief to survive anyway.

He had become a god by using the power of laws, not by building up faith like a human-created fantasy. Even if the whole world turned into strict materialists, it wouldn’t affect his power at all.

Curly-haired Guy: That’s right! Our boss here can live off just his good looks! And that soft life is extra tasty too!
