That winter (1),
Sirone and Minerva wandered around the world, searching for traces of Beopsal.
“Deprived of object.”
Minerva said from her seat in the jet.
“Resetting the user’s killing intent is called target change. And when I destroyed the dagger.”
Sirone received her words.
“〈Beopsal〉 reappears in front of the closest person who can eliminate the target.”
“However, if the new user changes his mind and does not kill the target, < Beopsal > destroys itself and deprives the user.”
Even Sirone did not know what happened next.
“The murderous intent of ‘Beopsal’ is so powerful that it distorts the law. So the moment it can’t be killed, it breaks. To put it in human terms, I had a tantrum.”
“It’s hate.”
“okay. When object deprivation occurs, the hatred of < Beopsal > is maximized. Even if Habitz is outside the law, it will be a formidable match if it is < Beopsal > with the object deprived.” Sirone looked straight ahead. “Where is it?”
“Depriving an object is the maximum value of the < Beopsal > function. But the downside is that you don’t appear in front of people.”
“Then there’s no way to find it.”
“It’s difficult, but it’s not like looking for a needle in the desert. If Beopsal had been born now…
Minerva’s eyes were filled with sadness.
“That area would have already been devastated.”
While Shirone’s team recovered Beopsal, the Ex Machina team began final inspection.
There were thousands of sheets of paper with algorithms drawn on the walls, and there were piles of papers on the table.
“Alpha fish, or pilot fish, enter the aquarium first and create an environment for beta fish to live in.”
Iruki said as he organized his documents.
“The fact that Abella changed her mind means that Habitz also accepted her.”
Gudio, who was writing on the blackboard, said.
“The strategy that anyone born with the destiny of a witch would be able to capture Habitz’s heart was effective.”
Iruki nodded.
“I don’t know how serious Habitz is, but he will be bound by the law to some extent with this.”
It was the alpha fish that created that environment.
“In return, we lost Crouch… After
mourning for a moment, Iruki placed the last document in the safe and stood up.
“Now what we have to do is create the best law to shoot Havitz until we retrieve the Beopsal.”
Sweetie opened the door.
“It is said that < Beopsal > in a state of object deprivation does not twist the law. Instead, it becomes the law itself.”
Gudio Meisnes followed.
“In addition to the Gustav Four, there are numerous bulletproof units and facilities protecting Havitz. “As long as you live in Marsak, sniping is impossible.”
Cheolongseong Fortress cannot even be approached by anyone other than an alpha fish.
“Our role is to create gaps in that ironclad castle.”
Finally, Iruki left the room and arrived at the Ex Machina device in the basement.
‘I will definitely find that gap.’ The door opened with a puff of steam, and the five most outstanding Servants in the world entered.
Eastern Gate Kingdom.
Moon, one of the seven kings, was the leader of the seven eastern kingdoms, excluding the Jincheon Empire, and was at the cutting edge of witchcraft.
“Ugh. “Death, death is in sight.”
At the entrance to Chiaksan Mountain, the royal shaman’s hand holding the bell trembled.
“I can’t climb. From now on, all that awaits us is darkness deeper than the abyss.”
Chiaksan Mountain.
Because of its rugged terrain, it has been uninhabited since ancient times and was a natural mountain guarded by vicious demonic beasts.
“Okay, let’s go quickly. “They’re waiting behind you.”
Minerva said, pointing to the long line of Moon country soldiers behind her.
“Are you really going? Although I am a royal shaman, I cannot block this energy.”
Sirone looked up at the snow-covered mountain.
‘This is Minerva’s…
When I first met Minerva, I felt as if I was about to lose my mind, but she was ruling the mountain.
“So, if something like this had happened, shouldn’t it have been reported quickly? Anyway, kings.”
Disaster struck the Moon Kingdom two months ago, but the kingdom denied it for diplomatic reasons.
According to a rumor in a private house, the screams of demonic beasts were heard from the mountain every day.
“It must be a work of ‘Beopsal’.” Minerva stood next to Sirone.
“The resentment of not being able to kill the target of murder grows endlessly and wipes out everything around.”
There was no need for the Beopsal to move, and most living things would have died just from the killing intent.
“Let’s go up first. “I need to check.”
While climbing the mountain along the path made by mountain animals, Sirone discovered silver piled up on the corpses of numerous animals.
“They’re all dead.”
Herbivorous animals such as rabbits and deer living on the mountainside were frozen to death without a single wound.
“Wow! “Wow!”
The lowest-ranking soldiers began to vomit, and even the senior executives began to vomit.
“We must stop here. “I can’t go any higher!”
The shaman warned again.
“Anyway, I’m too weak to fall in.”
They were also elites, but the energy of < beopsal > that spread across the mountain belonged to Minerva.
“Wait here. “Only Sirone and I are going up.”
No one objected to Oh Dae-seong’s instructions, and the two passed the halfway point and headed to the summit.
“Oh my god… In
a field where even the grass had died, I saw the corpses of demonic beasts as big as the houses of goblins born from the love of vicious monsters.
“I fought back.”
Minerva’s eyes, which had suddenly changed into the form of a girl, were full of sorrowful emotions.
“First the grass died, then the herbivores. When there was nothing left to kill, we went around the mountain and dug through whatever we could find.”
All of the corpses showed signs of penetration.
“Whether you have intelligence or not, you instinctively realized that if you couldn’t get rid of that sword that suddenly entered the mountain, everyone would die. So I came here after chasing Beopsal…
and the result was annihilation.
“That’s the hatred I had for the world.”
Just by looking at the scenery of Chiaksan Mountain, you could see how devastated young Minerva was feeling.
“And now it is still floating around the world as a fragment that cannot be removed.”
At the place where the girl arrived, the peak of the mountain, < Beopsal >, was engraved like a print in the cold snow.
In an all-white world, only the area around Beopsal shimmered in purple.
Minerva reached out and grabbed the dagger
.
“That’s why I already gave it to you, but only I can retrieve the ‘beopsal’ of object deprivation.”
I found < Beopsal >.
“Minerva…
As Sirone walked over to comfort her, a voice was heard from the other side of the mountain.
“You’re late. “With the two busy Oh Dae-seongs walking around together, isn’t the tension relieved?”
The moment Minerva saw the man walking through the snow, she frowned.
“Mahoro Amanta.” The person who turns the world wheel was Oh Dae-seong of the Ministry of Balance.
“This is my first time seeing you, Shirone-kun. “I should at least congratulate you, but I’m so busy with work.”
Minerva has returned to her adult form.
“You mean Shirone-kun? It’s definitely the same Oh Daesung. And isn’t Shirone the one with a strong breath?”
Of the five great stars, the one who was most comfortable calling Sirone was Minerva, but Amanta did not care.
‘The Five Stars of Balance?’
He had brown skin, a bald head, and deep wrinkles around his eyes that showed traces of three waves.
Tiririririri!
When he flicked his middle finger, three small cartwheel-shaped wheels spun between his thumb and index finger.
“so? “Why did Oh Dae-seong, the busy member of the Ministry of Balance, come here?”
“Now that the Buddha is gone, there is no antithesis of philanthropy. “I’m worried that I’m going too far.”
Minerva did not give Sirone a chance to intervene.
“This place is as wide as the universe. You don’t need to worry about that. “Because I’m doing much better than you.”
“It just doesn’t look that way to me
.”
Tiririririri!
The sound of the spring winding was very annoying.
“Shirone-kun’s philanthropy is only the aspiration of ‘some’ people and does not represent the entire world.”
In the end, Sirone came forward.
“Isn’t it okay if we can love each other without people suffering?”
“Yes, no.”
Amanta was adamant.
“This world is just a ‘background for living,’ and there are no rules for how to live.”
The Balance Department serves all users around the world.
“Shirone-kun has the ability to break time. It is a powerful force that can disrupt the order of the world, depending on whether it is used or not. Therefore, even your philanthropy is just a foul if the ball is not balanced.”
“I allowed you to break the law.”
“The ministry permitted the rescission, but it did not support you. That’s why I came forward.”
Minerva asked.
“so? Are you saying you want to have a fight with us?”
“It’s about striking a balance.”
The world wheel broke away from Amanta’s hand and quickly flew towards Shirone.
“Shirone! damage!”
Minerva shouted, but Sirone, who was already angry, grabbed the wheel with her hands.
“Your argument is just an idea. “I have no intention of bending my thoughts.”
Amanta pointed to the sky and twirled her finger.
“Wrong. To me it is not a thought. “It just activates the user protection program.”
“What is that…?”
“I am the one who realized the center of the universe.” Therefore, he was the one who obtained the authority to turn the world wheel without being biased in any direction.
“With that authority, I will seal your fraternity.”
“Shirone! “Let go of the world wheel!”
Even before Minerva finished speaking, the captured world wheel began to rotate at incredible speed.
“Ugh!”
Amanta sent Sirone away.
“There is no force that can defeat balance.”
Sirone’s wrist twisted, his arm twisted, and finally his entire body began to rotate, starting from his shoulders.
‘I’m getting sucked in.’
My whole body was already twisted like laundry, and the whole world was spinning along with the infinitely growing wheel.
As light and darkness intersected repeatedly before my eyes, my mind began to become dizzy.
joy! red! joy! joy! joy!
Shirone regained consciousness when he heard a sound like a giant blade spinning.
I was looking at the ceiling, and there was a metal fan over 200 meters in diameter spinning.
“Why did you come here, representative of humanity?”
As the unknown language was deciphered into Ultima, Shirone suddenly looked around.
It was a dome-shaped space with a wagon wheel pattern carved into the inner wall.
“Where am I?”
Terraforce priests surrounding 360 degrees spoke in one voice.
“It is a prison of balance. “A perfect isolation space that restrains things that violate the balance of the universe.”
“How long?”
“You have committed a breach of time. “You cannot leave this place until Buddha appears in the world.”
“Please call Chief Justice Terraphos.”
“It is a perfect isolation space. There is only one who is outside the law and who upsets your balance.”
Sirone sighed.
“I allowed you to break the law.”
“We have a user protection program. “It’s all about isolating the error until system recovery is complete.”
“No, I didn’t mean that… Shirone shook his head and spoke again.
“The apostasy… “I was disappointed.”
As the light of Yahweh rose above Sirone’s head, the huge fan on the ceiling stopped moving.
‘Turn it in reverse!’
As the speed of the fan rotating in the opposite direction gradually increased, a halo of light was born.
“Stop! If you break out of the Prison of Balance without permission…!”
What happened?
Because it was an unprecedented event, even the Terraforce priests were speechless.
‘Hmm!’
As the scenery in front of him changed, the world wheel spinning in the opposite direction returned Sirone’s body.
“What are you doing?”
Amanta’s eyes widened in shock as Sirone clenched his teeth after throwing the world wheel into the snow.
“How to break out of prison…
Since the concept itself was imprisoned, it was normal for even Yahweh to not be able to escape.
“no way?”
Amanta suddenly realized.
‘There is only one possible case.’
The system does not recognize hex as an error.
