Chapter 195: Death Papyrus Basic Rules (1)
["Time Skip!"]
[In a flash, after Jade performed a time skip, you suddenly saw two different perspectives.]
[One of them was Jade suddenly appearing in front of the high school girl, and the other was her running to that high school girl in skipped time!]
[Due to your Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary, you were no longer helpless against Jade’s usage of time-related abilities. If you wanted to, you could even move and interfere in that controlled time field without her permitting you to do so.] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
[However, this time, you didn’t interfere since the power rank you and Jade could use was limited. Interfering now would not only be unnecessary as Jade could get the job done on her own, but it would also place a great burden on her.]
[Soon, without your interference, time was skipped, and the high school girl seemed to have been decapitated out of nowhere; her head had already fallen on the ground, and blood had already dyed her clothes and the ground crimson red.]
["Here’s the Death Papyrus, darling!’]
[As for Jade, she was already beside you, seemingly not having moved the entire time, yet all of those things happened without the memory of those who witnessed it.]
[Unlike time stop, time had indeed flown in time skip.]
[Just that, since it was skipped, no one had memories of what happened during it. Well, except for Jade, who used Future Sight to deal with Time Skip’s downsides, and you, who used Absolute Boundary to be unaffected by time skip.]
[Even Scarlet and Astraea, who were with you and Jade, didn’t have any memories of what happened during the time skip. However, they didn’t mind as they were already used to Jade’s Golden Time spirit avatar abilities.]
[Looking at the Death Papyrus handed to you by Jade, you smiled at her and received it, "Thanks, Jade."]
[After receiving the Death Papyrus, you haven’t used or opened it yet. Instead, you used your Hint Prompt talent on it.]
{Hint Prompt: This is not a fake Death Papyrus but a real one. It’s a Death Papyrus created by a Late Diamond rank Angel of Death. There’s no difference between a Death Papyrus created by a Late Diamond rank Angel of Death and a Mythril rank Angel of Death.
After all, each Death Papyrus was created with the same template. As long as an Angel of Death is at Initial Diamond rank, they can create Death Papyruses using their Death Authority. At most, the power rank of an Angel of Death affects the speed of creating a Death Papyrus.}
{Hint Prompt: This Death Papyrus wasn’t modified or upgraded, so it’s the default Death Papyrus. Any lives taken using this Death Papyrus will direct the mortal souls of those killed to the creator of this Death Papyrus.}
{Hint Prompt: Angels of Death uses the mortal souls as nourishment to become stronger or improve the quality of their Death Authority. Mortal souls are like Spirit Avatar Master’s spirit crystals, essential for their power rank improvement.}
[You relayed that information you’ve obtained to Jade and the others, to which Astraea commented, "Aside from their entertainment, these Death Papyrus can collect those mortal souls easily."]
["Although they could do it by themselves by using their own Death Papyrus or even Death Authority, they didn’t want to wipe out the human race since that would make mortal souls a non-renewable resource in this station world."]
["Letting those human contestants harvest mortal souls in their stead would be more stable. Not only would they just have to sit back and watch and not do anything, but the number of kills a human contestant can do with a Death Papyrus is still lower than the average Angel of Death."]
[You nodded in agreement, "The writing speed of those humans is way slower than an Angel of Death. Moreover, most who get a Death Papyrus aren’t causing mass killing sprees since they mostly use it for petty reasons like killing their enemies or anyone who annoyed them."]
["Compared to Angels of Death, who didn’t care who they killed and didn’t have moral restrictions, even some selfish Death Papyrus users would refrain from doing a mass murder."]
["After all, not all Death Papyrus users want to become the God of the New World or some chuunibyou shit like that. Unless they’re truly a psychopath, even some who had killed real people would still refrain themselves from killing countless people and causing genocide."]
["Due to that, the number of people killed by a Death Papyrus user is still lower than an Angel of Death."]
[While saying that, you opened the Death Papyrus]
[As its name suggested, the paper seemed to have the texture of papyrus made from the Cyperus papyrus plant. It was in the form of a scroll, and both sides of the scroll could easily be retracted, and they possessed near infinite pages.]
[Using your mind, you could freely lengthen and shorten the scroll’s papyrus, making it feel like a unique experience. It was way different than just holding a book and flipping the pages.]
[As soon as you touched and opened the Death Papyrus, its usage rules surfaced in your mind, inscribed as the incipit of the scroll.]
/Death Papyrus Basic Rules/
/Rule 1: Using the Death Papyrus will automatically sign a contract with the Angel of Death who created this Death Papyrus. Anyone you kill using this Death Papyrus will have their mortal souls brought to the Angel of Death./
/Rule 2: After the user of the Death Papyrus dies, their soul will be transferred to the Angel of Death. The fate of their soul will be up to the Angel of Death./
/Rule 3: To kill a mortal life, you must think of their appearance and then write their full name on the Death Papyrus. It must be a real full name and cannot be a pseudonym. However, in a situation where they have changed their name, then either of those two names can be used./
/Rule 4: If you offer 50 years of your lifespan as a sacrifice to this Death Papyrus, you will become a Death Envoy and gain the ability to see the name of any mortal life./
