(TL : SGWAOADTFBIJLASL) The god said, "This is just a tutorial, you know?"
Added 2024-03-02 04:44:07 +0000 UTC--AN) Translated novel: Novel Name: Since God Went All Out and Defeated the Final Boss, I'm Just Living a Slow Life. This is a ML and human editing, so there might be some mistakes.--
"Ahahahaha!! 'I am the Chaos God,' you claim? How laughable!!! The real thing is far more formidable!!!"
"EEEEEEK!?"
So I said, or rather, I was meant to say... well, it's complicated.
The "true deity" using my body began methodically dismantling the old man who boasted himself as the "Chaos God," gradually converting him into LEGO-like blocks.
This isn't just a figure of speech. Starting from the extremities, he was disassembled into small blocks without any bloodshed. His right arm had already been completely taken apart up to near his shoulder. This must be the divine craft of spatial magic bestowed upon me.
In a lavish temple, the armless self-proclaimed Chaos God, an old man adorned in glittering decorations, and then there was me, a girl with straight black hair, appearing nothing more than a villager, subjecting him to torment. The old man's eyes, which initially leered at me with impure intent, now only showed confusion and fear.
The old man attempted to gather the flesh-toned and red blocks scattered on the floor with his remaining left arm, but my leg mercilessly kicked them away. They flew as easily as if they were a soccer ball, hitting a temple pillar and causing him to cry out in pain.
"Y-you, what are you... no, help me"
"Come on, if you're claiming to be the 'Chaos God,' surely you can fix this easily, right? Oh, you can't? Ahahaha! Loser! Such a loser! Don't try to deceive my 'Chaos God Lover' with such a level of power! Divine punishment is coming your way! Take this!!!"
A genuinely joyful voice came from me. Additionally, I had been connecting the spaces above and below to continuously drop debris near the old man, just to startle him.
"Gyaaaah! Eeeeek!!!"
"Ahahaha! So, you're not going to resist? You can if you want!"
"Fa-Fireball!"
The old man shouts, and a fireball flies towards me, but it's stopped by an invisible barrier I had fixed in space, reaching nowhere near me.
"Well, that was futile."
"Telekinesis! Why... why doesn't it work on youuuu!?"
"Are you trying something? Ahahaha!"
And so, my own body is also fixed in space, rendering me impervious to any external attacks. This includes immunity to physical forces, so if I were to lift debris in this state, I wouldn't feel its weight, and if something can't be lifted, the debris would be the one to break.
With a simple gesture of my right hand, the old man's body cleanly splits at the torso, yet again, no blood is shed.
"EEEEEEK! My body, it's been cut...!?"
"Ahaha, don't worry, I haven't actually cut you. Though I could at any moment. Ufufu."
With a snap of my fingers, the bisected form was restored to its original state.
"Someone, anybodyyyy!"
"No help is coming, the space is isolated! Oh, let me also restore your arm. Duplicate, invert! Reattach!"
With a clap of my hands, the old man's left arm was replicated in mid-air, inverted to become a right arm, and then meticulously connected in place of the disassembled right arm, veins and nerves included.
"Ugh, my head is in turmoil. This seems to exert quite a strain."
"Are you okay? This is just a tutorial... I thought it best to demonstrate a variety of abilities."
"Did you just say 'just a tutorial,' deity?"
"Oh, don't be like that. It's the perfect tutorial!"
The deity inside me chuckles in response to my mental retort. There's no denial.
"By duplicating and regenerating your form like this, I can subject you to as much discomfort as I wish. Though, duplication does consume a fair amount of MP, but it's unlimited for now since this is just a tutorial! Because it's a tutorial!!"
Yes, this is simply a tutorial given by the deity to me. It's not... a punishment for someone who dared misuse the name of the deity's Lover. Well, perhaps the final adversary I must confront is this self-proclaimed Chaos God... but...
"What was that about deities not directly influencing the world...?"
"If it's for the purpose of demonstrating how to wield power in a tutorial, it can't be helped!"
Reflecting on how this situation came to be...
Originally, I... or rather, I was a grown man living in Japan.
Then, without being hit by the cliché isekai truck, I found myself in what seemed to be the realm of gods.
In a white world, a girl with black hair and golden eyes greeted me with a bright smile.
"Welcome! It's quite sudden, but you'll be transitioning to a world under my care... It's more of a reincarnation since I'll be creating a new body for you. Well, off to another world for you!"
"....Eh?"
"Congratulations, you've just had a narrow escape. Had you resisted with 'What are you doing! This is abduction! Apologize!' I would have erased you right there. You chose your words more wisely than the last person."
The girl clapped her hands.
...It seems the person before me was erased.
"I will grant you power, and I have a task for you."
"Yes, yes."
"Good, you're compliant. Oh, I am the god of space and time. A real god, you know."
Continuing, the god explained.
"In the world you're going to, there's an imposter calling themselves 'god.' Please deal with them."
"A god, you say?"
"A self-proclaimed god. They sprouted while I wasn't paying attention, so I thought it's about time to show them what real divine power is. However, due to certain restrictions, I can't act directly, hence the need for a reincarnation like you."
It seems lending power indirectly is permissible for a god.
I see, so that's a god-like restriction. It means the gods within that world are truly just self-proclaimed.
"As a reward, you'll have a free life in that world. Use the power I give you to become a merchant, a hero, or indulge in pleasures as you wish."
"Um... Is that okay? To do anything?"
"You could even claim to be a god yourself, under the guise of being my apostle, which would make you a sub-god of sorts."
Isn't the target supposed to not declare themselves as such? I tilted my head.
"Well, claiming to be a god is fine. It's just that there's one name I can't overlook."
"Ah, I see. And that name would be?"
"Yes. 'Chaos God.'"
That name seems to be a no-go for the god before me.
"So, I just need to find and defeat this 'Chaos God,' right?"
"You catch on quickly. That's right.... Oh, your body is ready."
And with a snap of her fingers, there stood a woman with an aura similar to the god before me, about 18 years old. Black straight hair, round black eyes - a somewhat plain but upon closer inspection, cute girl. And quite well-endowed.
"Wait, I'm a guy, you know?"
"My preference—ahem. It's easier to grant you power if you resemble me."
"Did you just say 'preference'?"
"If you have complaints, I can erase you. It truly is easier this way. Plus, since it's your body now, you're free to enjoy it as much as you want. Right?"
I kept silent. Being erased would mean the end of me, not the body.
It wasn't the prospect of unrestricted fondling that silenced me.
"Well then, I'll bestow upon you spatial magic, basic knowledge, and a talent that makes skill acquisition easier."
"Ah, thank you."
"Furthermore, as a service, I'll use your body to demonstrate the power myself, considering it's your first time. This is a one-time offer."
"Wha- I'm not a virgin!—Ahem. Thank you, I appreciate it."
Thus, I became her and stepped into another world.
"Now, your tutorial opponent will be the 'Chaos God.' Let's go♪"
"Eh?"
And so, we return to the beginning.

the reason this one came out the way it did was because I had to force the ai to translate it that way to be respectful towards beliefs. when I did partial translations to figure out what was causing it to throw up a flag, it was actually using god instead of diety. the pronoun thing is because of the story. the mc was a he but is turned into a she. and the original context was lost due to the fact that I had to stray from the original to make it even translate anything.

2024-03-02 14:34:04 +0000 UTCI've read that one of the ways to detect ML is that they tend to use uncommon words. An example is the use of diety in this translation. When translating is it better to be an exact translation or edit such words to more common ones? Also I've noticed that the pronouns of people get confused, or the person vs object of a sentence gets confused. When the arm of "the pretend chaos god" is getting disassembled like bricks I think the person got kicked away from the bricks into a pillar not the detached bricks.
