Chapter 535 - 521: Is There Anyone Who Can’t Move Inside the Stopped Time? You’re Right, Aren’t You, Tokisaki Kurumi!

Chapter 535: Chapter 521: Is There Anyone Who Can’t Move Inside the Stopped Time? You’re Right, Aren’t You, Tokisaki Kurumi!

[ After using time magic to stop time, Ainz leaned slightly to the side, just as he was about to copy the answers.

A scene that terrified him appeared...

He saw Aqua, radiating her natural aura of a loser goddess, looking up blankly at her surroundings: "What’s wrong? Why is everyone frozen?"

"Hey..." She even took out a pen and poked First Lieutenant Grantz next to her, but there was absolutely no reaction.

Not only was Aqua completely unaffected, but she was also jumping up and down in the classroom and even took the opportunity to move Roswaal’s chair away.

Watching this bizarre scene, Ainz, who had originally intended to cheat, could only maintain his dignity and stay motionless, while internally retorting non-stop: "That’s right, Aqua did say she belongs to the realm of gods."

"So she can move even within a world where time has stopped?" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Good lord, terrifyingly enough, among this group of people, Ainz is one of the few who actually believes this loser Aqua is a goddess."

People from other worlds weren’t actually that surprised by Aqua’s unaffected behavior. After all, no matter how much of an idiot this goofball is, she is still a goddess.

.....

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

Gudako watched Aqua still jumping around inside the time-stop magic. She gently cupped her chin with her right hand, quietly pondering.

"Aside from being a bit stupid, having a slightly bad personality, possessing E-rank luck, and loving to drop the ball at critical moments, this Aqua doesn’t seem to have any other flaws. She’s unexpectedly useful!"

Truth be told, if Aqua could be summoned, she would want to feed her a few Grails. This was simply a god-tier support unit with innate super-armor.

"Senpai..."

Mash, standing to the side, revealed a look of complex and indescribable helplessness in her eyes upon hearing this:

"You’ve listed all her flaws. Just those flaws you mentioned in the beginning have nothing to do with being useful."

The main issue was that one Senpai was already trashy enough. If a goddess like Aqua, who was even trashier, were to join, life would become unlivable. Chaldea would sooner or later be broken by them.

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜

"In layman’s terms, it’s like the Three Egyptian Gods in Yu-Gi-Oh. A certain president with terminal dragon-cancer once said, what you are facing is not a monster, but a Kami-DA—! Gods are unaffected by the effects of magic and trap cards!"

Kohei, being an otaku, felt his duelist soul burning brightly at this moment. He revealed a spectacular facial expression, his features looking somewhat ferocious.

Iori rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Wouldn’t it be enough to just say ’Aqua is a goddess, so she’s unaffected’? Why all the setup?"

Kohei, who had been full of momentum just a moment ago, instantly misfired. He reached out and scratched the back of his head awkwardly:

"Wasn’t I just getting emotional? I couldn’t help myself."

.....

[ "SO LUCKY—!" After a round of probing, Aqua realized that everyone seemed unable to move. This was a perfect opportunity to cheat.

"Kazuma, let me see your answers! Tsk... your hand is in the way; I can’t see properly."

As she spoke, she moved Kazuma’s hand away and posed him in a funny stance, even taking the opportunity to vengefully stuff a pencil up Kazuma’s nose.

After doing all this with satisfaction, Aqua finally lay on the table and began to copy Kazuma’s exam answers with reckless abandon!

Ainz, who saw everything, was completely speechless: "Objectively speaking, she really is hopeless."

"Even though she is a goddess and I am an undead, at least I still feel shame about wanting to cheat for myself."

Ainz was somewhat at a loss now. He was the one who stopped time, so why was Aqua the one cheating? ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

Watching the shameless Aqua, people from other worlds covered their faces one after another... As expected of Aqua, she easily does things others wouldn’t dare to do.

Even Ainz, the initiator of the time stop, felt a bit of shame about cheating, yet the goofball goddess could copy answers so blatantly.

.....

〜So I’m a Spider, So What? World〜

"So lucky... Pfft... Hahaha!"

Kumoko laughed so hard she was rolling on the ground, her two claws slapping the ground beside her incessantly:

"You, a goddess with ridiculously low luck, actually said ’so lucky’ one day."

If you were truly lucky, Kazuma, whose luck stat is only second to the Goddess of Luck, wouldn’t have suffered so much because of you. Your bad luck can even overshadow Kazuma’s good luck.

After so long, you still have no self-awareness. Don’t forget, Aqua, your luck is on par with that touching IQ of yours—both are unexpectedly low!

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"You idiot goddess, getting roasted by an undead. You seem to have a lot of complaints about me, usually."

Kazuma knocked on the idiot goddess’s head with some annoyance.

It was one thing for this retard to copy his test paper answer, but to take the opportunity to pull a prank on his handsome face? That was simply too much!

"Uwah, uwahhh... I really won’t dare do it again, Kazuma-sama."

Aqua, sporting several large bumps on her head, immediately lay on the sofa and wailed loudly, but in her heart, she kept cursing secretly.

It’s all those evil undead’s fault. He actually used a move like time stop to tempt her into cheating, causing her to be bullied by Kazuma. She would remember this grudge!

.....

[ Just as Aqua was copying the answers, forgetting herself in the process, Tanya’s somewhat puzzled query came from beside her ear.

"Is this phenomenon caused by you?"

Aqua, who was fully concentrated on copying answers, answered subconsciously without almost any thought: "Of course not, I don’t have that kind of ability."

"Is that so? You really aren’t Being X." Tanya turned her head to look at Aqua, who was lying on Kazuma’s desk copying answers: "By the way, what are you doing right now?"

"To cheat so openly, you have quite the nerve."

Meanwhile, Ainz, who had been paying attention to Aqua’s side, was completely dumbfounded: "Wait, why can Tanya move too...?!"

Ainz, beginning to doubt life, spun his thoughts rapidly, considering the known intelligence: "Wait, Tanya seemed to have said before that she was reincarnated into another world by an existence called Being X."

"Since she is of a level that can converse with a god, then it’s not strange that time stop doesn’t work on her... is it?" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"No, by your logic, Kazuma can also talk to Aqua, so shouldn’t he be able to move too?"

People from other worlds didn’t quite agree with Ainz’s explanation. In this peak period of reincarnators, who hasn’t exchanged a few words with a god!

The otherworlds are running out of locals; they are all reincarnators thrown over by gods.

.....

〜Saga of Tanya the Evil World〜

"Heh, time stop doesn’t work? Then this must be the doing of that Being X again."

Tanya reached out and pressed down the brim of her cap, her eyes gradually becoming sharp and vicious. As always, she threw all the blame onto that mysterious existence she had once conversed with.

Isn’t that obvious? Fighting with that mysterious Being X in time stops every day—Being X definitely had a hand in this.

〜JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Worldline〜

"..."

Watching the scene before him, Dio was momentarily speechless. Why can’t you move too?!

That retard goddess is one thing—she is a god after all, so it’s not incomprehensible. But why can you, a mere eight-year-old brat, move?

Also, your time really stops ticking by the minute, huh?

How long has it been, and it’s still holding!

.....

[ Just as Tanya was pressing Aqua step by step, Natsuki Subaru in front of them was also disturbed by their noise: "...Aqua, Tanya! It’s an exam right now, can’t you be quiet?"

At this moment, Subaru also suddenly realized that the surroundings seemed a bit unusual: "Is everyone else a little too focused?"

"EHH—!!" The most shocked person was still Ainz, who was startled: "Even Subaru can move?"

"In my world, this is 10th-tier magic that hardly anyone can use. How can there be so many people unaffected!"

"This world is truly terrifying." ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Hiss— The first two being related to gods makes sense, but why can Subaru move too!?"

Truth be told, even the crowd outside the video was startled. Looking at it now, there really were quite a few people who could move within this time stop. They had enough for a table of Mahjong.

( Translator-kun: JUST RELEASE THE RE: ZERO FILE!! )

.....

〜JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Worldline〜

"Damn it..."

Seeing this, Dio couldn’t help but curse under his breath. Is time stop such an inconvenient thing? Again?

In one class, four people can move. So, you stopped time for nothing!

Even Jotaro, far away on the other side, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth:

"Regardless, that otherworld is indeed terrifying."

A time stop ability that should be practically unsolvable, yet so many people are unaffected. The waters of the otherworld run deep indeed.

〜Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End World〜

"10TH-TIER MAGIC—!"

Frieren was incredibly envious of this magic at this moment. Although the other party used it to cheat on an exam, it was indeed incredibly rare.

Moreover, the fact that Ainz could cast magic of this level instantly was enough to prove that his strength was indeed powerful...

But doesn’t the magic of this scale even show a magic circle? At least show the magic circle so people can learn it!

This feeling of being able to see but not touch was like a thorn deeply embedded in Frieren’s heart, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Red A thought carefully for a moment:

"Natsuki Subaru’s Return by Death ability looks more like time reversal. The reason he can move might be due to this."

Meanwhile, looking at the screen where the group was almost ready to form a Mahjong table, Rin was also extremely speechless:

"So, just to cheat on an exam, is it worth it...? Of course it’s necessary. Who wouldn’t cheat if they had time to stop?!"

Regarding this, Tohsaka Rin put on a matter-of-fact expression. This was the best method for cheating.

However... if you think about it carefully, four reincarnators represent four different worlds, and it seems like one person from each world is unaffected by the time stop.

Then who else can’t move in the time stop? Isn’t that right, Kazuma!

Even though they are all reincarnators, he is the only one who can’t move. Who told him to have no abilities whatsoever, other than having a goofball goddess?
