The Chronicles of the Man Who Became a God and Did Whatever He Wanted - Chapter 42

“Hmm~… why isn’t it moving?”

A week after killing the dragon (well, about a month in God’s Castle), my created dragon was finally completed.

Inside a cylindrical pod filled with culture fluid, floating, was a blonde-haired little girl, with tiny horns beside her head and bat-like wings on her back. Her beauty and grace rivaled Lilia’s. If I’m going to create something, it should be something cute, right? She’s in human form now, but she can also transform into a dragon.

I researched using God Search and, after much trial and error, finally completed my dragon. Maybe I should name it Minister Dragon, meaning God’s Messenger?

Well, the dragon’s completed, but it’s not moving at all. There’s life response, its heart is beating, and brainwaves are present, but it won’t move.

“Hmm~ what’s going on?”

I followed what was written in “Even a Monkey Can Do It: New Species Creation” that I found through God Search… I’ll need to investigate further… hmm? Is this it?

“If the created body isn’t moving… it could be because it doesn’t have a soul?”

The soul… right, it was written in “Even a Monkey Can Do It” that mixing in a soul might be good… So this is the cause. I knew the info from cheap sites was unreliable.

Alright then, I’ll create a soul and put it into the dragon… but how do I create a soul?

“Hmm… this is such a pain.”

What is this? Creating a soul from scratch is too troublesome. Over ten thousand steps? And it takes a hundred years? Is there an easier way?

“Hm? What’s this…”

Resetting another creature’s soul and using it? This is it, this is perfect. I don’t need to make one from scratch.

“Alright, I’ll prepare the soul… but whose soul should I use?”

Should I just kill some random guy and use their soul? But even if I reset it, using a guy’s soul still doesn’t feel right…

“Hmm~…”

[…?]

“Ah!”

In front of me, I saw Shirley floating upside down, peering at my face and tilting her head. I could use her soul.

◇

“Soul integration complete… Phew, I’m glad it went smoothly.”

Once I figured out how to infuse the soul, the process went smoothly, and now the work is finally done.

Normally, I would’ve had to reset the soul, but Shirley’s soul was completely blank, so I saved a lot of trouble. I was wondering what to do with her, so this was perfect—truly killing two birds with one stone

“Well, you probably won’t remember, but I’ll introduce you to Tyran someday.”

She’s changed in appearance, but this is a reunion with his little sister. He’ll be glad.

“Well, she should be waking up soon.”

I looked into the pod, and Shirley’s finger moved. Seems like she’s waking up.

Shirley’s eyes slowly opened. Her vacant gaze wandered before focusing on me. I drained the liquid from the pod and opened the lid. Time for our meeting.

“How do you feel now? Shirley?”

“Sh…irley…”

“That’s your name. Minister Dragon Shirley.”

“Dragon… Shirley… Dragon…”

She’s still not fully awake, her brain’s probably not working yet. I’ve already filled her brain with basic knowledge. She’s human-sized, but a dragon’s brain has about ten times the capacity of a human’s, so I crammed a lot of Mistride knowledge into her. She shouldn’t be dumb.

“…”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Shirley stares at me intently. This is strange. I made sure to imprint that I’m the master, but does she not recognize me? Could it be that the soul got bugged because I didn’t reset it before inserting it?

“――Pa…”

“Huh? What did you say?”

It seems like Shirley said something just now, but it was too quiet to hear. Could you say it again?

“Pa――… Pa…”

“Pa… Pa?”

“Papa!”

“Huh?”

Shirley hugs me. Wait, did she just call me… Papa?

God, I’ve become an unmarried father of one child.
