Hitogami

I'm on volume 22 on the LN, and I can't search for my answers in the internet.

If geese was an apostle of hitogami all along (since the teleportation incident), how come during the asura/ariel arc, hitogami still had 3 apostles: Darius, luke, reida. Won't that make 4 apostles?

I remember reading that a few volumes before that they kept only finding 2 apostles, but never the 3rd/last, so I'm just confused on this part of the plot.

Or did hitogami discard geese for a while, and took him back later on in the story?

I'm new in this community I'm currently about to start with redundancy but I just don't know if there will be and end dor the Hitogami story, cause at the end of the history we just see Rudeus die and he talks to Hitogami, which means there should be more stories about his ending and clarifying what happened with the original Human god which isn't Hitogami, even the dragon god says it to Laplace, "He stole the appearance and his powers" but nobody knows how.

So that's my question, is there another spin off ? O and end for Hitogami story ? Or at least is being write now or projects are coming about this?

I am honestly baffled after Rudy meeting his future self. Like honestly I dont know how to describe this feeling but I would've just wanted to hug "myself" if I were Rudy. Holy hell. I wonder if his eye of foresight or something else saw Roxy and Silphie (even tho Rudy said it were only hallucinated). I had to look his Wiki-Page up cause I just needed to know what was going on (thats why I started reading the novel in the first place (anime only usually)). I remember specifically that I saw a youtube video title which was something like "Is hitogami really evil (spoilers)"... well I guess I know by know. I saw somebody saying "this will be in the anime in 2025" but honestly I think it will take longer than 2 years. With the anime being pretty much at the point where Rudy finds out about Fitz it would probably take a year for the teleport labyrinth arc. Another year, more like two for Perugius to appear and then another year for this exact scene to take place. That would be 4 years so 2027 but realisticly 2030 sounds better (considering pauses and everything that could happen (Maybe the studio goes bankrupt or something by then and the Anime wont be picked up again)). I wonder what my future self would tell me right after he saw this scene animated. By that time I wonder if I every finished the LN and if I did, did I still keep up with the Manga and Anime? Holy fk this hole time travel thing has taken its tolls on me. I just wanted to write this in a way to cope with what I just read. The reason Mushoku Tensei appealed to me this much was because of the deep lying lore behind it (sort of why AOT is my favourite anime). Hopefully some of you can also share your experiences (without spoiling anything important). Have a great day y'all.

I have this plan on my mind,i just wanna share:

Maybe Orsted can time-loop again,but this time kidnap Rudy from his parents and raise him as his own son?That way he can reach his utmost potential in the condition that his family and friends will be transferred somewhere else faraway safe before the teleportation incident even happens.

I'm kinda really convinced that this is all doable.

Just imagine rudy growing up as a dragon.He'll be really really strong.

Wouldn't Ars and Cristina be dead/old during the fight with Hitogami? The other siblings would be fine since they have either Migurd or elf blood, but maybe Sylphy's children would be a bit old too since they are 1/6 elf.

Another thing, Rudeus' soul won't be reused in the next loop since he is from another world, but what about his kids? If Orsted fails to kill Hitogami in this loop, will their souls just be discarded?

Im getting impatient for the next chapter like it comes in every monthhhh

Wouldn't it be best if Orsted ignored the current loop and focused on the next loop.

In the next loop, he could 1. make the magic tool that reduces his curse, according to Cliff's plan.

2. make sure that Roxy teaches Pax Shirone in such a way that he does not commit suicide. That way the birthplace of LaPlace would be known and Orsted could kill him as a child.

3. ostred could give a letter to Nanahoshi before the second fight with Rudeus, with the offer that Rudeus can join him. He could include information, that make Rudeus trust him, for example the real name of Rudeus and some Information of Hitogami. With this offer, the fight and the consequent exhaustion of Orsted could be prevented.

Or is it that Rudeus and Nanahoshi only appear in the current loop and that's why it's necessary to win against Hitogami in this loop?

{Spoiler for those who haven't read the Spin Off series of Mushoku Tensei Old Dragon's Tale}

I don't know if this is correct or not but i think Elinalise may have a more important role in the near future. In the Old Dragon's Tale Rostelina a long eared race individual who was chosen by Laplace was put to a long sleep only to wake up in the near future to help Orsted defeat Hitogami with her large mana pool. It was said by Laplace that Rostelina will lose her memory due to the changes in her body, When i put the pieces together I started to realise that the Elinalise who was found with no memory in the dungeon may be Rostelina the girl who was put to sleep by Laplace. If this is the case than maybe our lustful Elinalise-san can be an important role in defeating Hitogami.

I'm actually just a manga and anime member but one day on internet I stumbled into below 'page' and I'm unable to rest from that day

Please help me by telling answer to my above question.

"Future Rudeus was Rudeus from the future, he came back into the past to prevent the actions that led to what happened to himself. After the events of the demon Atofe, Future Rudeus was visited by Hitogami who told him to go downstairs and check something if there was something in the basement, which he did and found nothing. What happened though was the infected rat that was roaming about in the basement was unleashed into the house and infected some leftover food, which Roxy then ate. Roxy became very sick, and regular Detoxification wouldn't work, only God Detoxification would work. Thus future Rudeus, Cliff, and Zanoba sneaked into the Church to learn God Detoxification. However they were easily found, but they were able to make it out with the booklet on god detoxification. Cliff was struck by poison during the escape and died shortly thereafter.

When future Rudeus returned, Roxy has already succumbed to the illness and died. This devastated future Rudeus and set him on a dark path. Around this time, Eris came back but Rudeus thoughtlessly drove her away. Sylphy tried to comfort him desperately, but Rudeus refused it due to heavy drinking habit, and ended up sleep with a whore. Sylphy found out about this and stopped talking to him, and eventually left him to rejoin Ariel.

When Rudeus figures out what he has done, he goes to follow Sylphy hoping to apologize and make up, but finds that Sylphy followed Ariel back to the kingdom, and after being smuggled in by Tris, he found Sylphy and Ariel murdered during the attempted coup.

Rudeus starts killing indiscriminately and changed to be bent on the revenge of Sylphy, Roxy, and all others who were killed unfairly. Eris would come again and again only for him to drive her away again and again. Eventually, Zenith, Lilia, Zanoba, Aisha were murdered from the church of Milis and as revenge, future Rudeus personally went to the capital to massacring them all.

Going down on this path, Rudeus hunted anything Hitogami related, including the likes of Demon Kings, and it is implied that he killed a lot of people, weak or strong, in his quest to learn more, only to learn nothing. Before he knew it, he was an old man and when he finally found the information on how to defeat Hitogami, he learned that he would not be able to do it in his lifetime. Finally at the end of his life, he was able to learn how to time travel and traveled back to the past before Roxy died, and informed his past self of all of this information.

Unfortunately the time travel trip left him missing a lot of organs, and mana and thus he died to his injuries, but not before giving his past self advices and a guilt-ridden diary."

Although it is highly suggested that he is the main antagonist does anyone have conflicting opinion with that?
