Depression (2)
‘Damn you.’
A harsh glow emanated from the eyes beneath Freed’s cross helmet.
Even if you turn back time, the events that existed will not be erased from your mind.
But still Oh Dae-seong.
When I suppressed my shame and analyzed the incident from before, there was definitely something strange about it.
Meanwhile, the stars and satellites of the ivory tower were looking at Freed and Sirone alternately, forgetting what to say.
‘Freed suffered.’
It was an incident in a time zone that did not exist, but no one was present who was foolish enough to not know the apocalypse of time.
‘No, is it really true that this happened?’ The incident returned to the original time when Freed allowed the blow.
As a wizard and swordsman, Freed’s durability was much higher than that of other stars, so questions remained.
And the answer to that question must have been known to Friedman, who was directly attacked by Sirone.
‘ weird.’
The first thing that came to Freed’s mind was a sense of discomfort.
‘The destruction of time. I understand that the timeline was vibrated and the future was pulled into the past, but… the
photon cannon’s trajectory was all variable when Sirone’s teleportation reached his immediate vicinity.
‘Why couldn’t I avoid it?’
Even if it was a surprise attack, it was not something that he could not avoid as he had reached the highest level of mankind in sword and magic.
‘Not just once.’
It felt as if another time within time had vibrated.
‘The incident in which I was attacked by that bastard was just one of countless incidents that existed.’
How many times was the same section repeated?
‘There is no need to think about the unknown.’
What he realized about Sirone is that he can perform calculations on future possibilities in an instant.
‘A wizard who searches for a route that leads to the most perfect conclusion and delivers a blow that can never be avoided.’
That was Sirone.
‘But after shooting the magic, he moves and shoots again. ‘What other variables could be at play there?’ The extent of the change would have been so minute that an ordinary wizard could not confirm it.
However, the subtlety of it made Freed feel a sense of discomfort, like motion sickness.
‘A surprise attack doesn’t matter. What’s annoying is O…’
Freed had never been beaten by anyone, regardless of whether it was sword or magic.
‘There was a tiny crack that could penetrate the gap in my state?’
The breaking of time was the second problem, and Sirone’s thinking of finding a way to attack himself was annoying.
“That’s interesting.”
Freed tore the corner of his mouth and released an evil aura.
“It’s unexpected. “I didn’t know that Oh Dae-seong of the Unified Universe Management Department would strike first.”
Oh Dae-seong, who had protected Tae-seong for generations, usually sat politely, like a man who had attained enlightenment.
“What are you talking about?”
Sirone asked back slyly.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Kkkkkk.”
A vein appeared on Freed’s temple.
‘That’s how it will come out.’ From the beginning, I had no intention of following Sirone’s philosophy, but this workshop made me certain.
‘No matter what you think, you will never be able to carry it out.’
The atmosphere in the Earth Temple became tense.
The stars and satellites of each department were glaring at each other, so much so that even the air was shaking.
Even though Taeseong was watching right in front of him, the name Daesojip was that big.
‘Sirone.’
Taeseong looked at Shirone with relaxed eyes.
The destruction of time pressured her in a different way from the Gaold’s destruction that directly struck the planet.
‘I’m in a daze.’
She felt that the number of times Sirone had vibrated time in order to successfully attack Freed was approximately 40,000 times.
The reason for turning back time was probably with Freed’s counterattack in mind after the attack was successful.
‘Freed is not someone who can be easily defeated.’
It can be said that he was like Shiro in the sense that he took control of the situation, but unlike usual, his methods were quite violent.
Minerva looked at Sirone.
‘No, that judgment is correct. The group that will most persistently interfere with us in this Daeso House is the System Inspection Department. But…
Freed wouldn’t be defeated to this extent.
“The Unified Space Management Department will speak
.”
Sirone stood up.
“If demons were born from human evil, now is the time to eradicate that evil. “We are requesting cooperation from each department of the Ivory Tower to fight against the demons.”
“Why do I have to fight demons?” Freed said with his arms crossed.
“It is the principle of all things that the strong eat the weak. “If they are strong, you can give them away. What about this world?”
Sirone’s eyes lit up.
“If demons take over the world, all human nations will perish. “Is that the outcome that the System Inspection Department wants?”
Freed was calm.
“You are mistaken. We are not followers of the royal family. “The system that currently leads the world is the national system. If the demons introduce a different system, we can manage it.”
This meant that it did not matter who became the ruler of this world as long as the system was maintained.
“I will convey the opinion of the System Inspection Department to Taeseong. We do not act for the benefit of any particular country. Considering that the Demons are also a new nation that has just been born, the current situation is nothing more than a war. “It’s a common war horse that has always existed and will never disappear.”
Minerva bit her lip.
‘You came in with a lot of intention.’
Fried was unlucky, but the proportion of the system inspection department in the five departments was quite large.
“Mr. Freed has a point.”
Sirone nodded obediently. “From a systematic perspective, there is no reason why this world should belong to humans. “But there’s just one thing I don’t understand, so I’d like to ask.”
“Ask as many questions as you want. “I will explain it to my child in detail.”
Sirone said, looking straight at Freed.
“They said they manage the demon system, but I don’t think that department has that ability.”
Each of the eight stars in the System Inspection Department had a different spark of life in their eyes.
“Such an arrogant bastard…
Freed frowned.
“If you have one talent that others can’t, that’s as far as it goes. “There are plenty of ways to kill someone like you.”
Sirone calmly accepted.
“is it so? “What is it?” Freed’s mouth did not open for a long time, and after a moment his shoulders shook roughly.
“Kkkkkk. “Kkkkkkk.”
The moment his body disappeared from sight and the ground where he was sitting collapsed in a semicircle.
“Oh my god…!”
The Earth Temple shook with a thud, and Freed, sword drawn, appeared in front of Sirone.
‘Damn it! ‘This again!’
When I saw the afterimage of Sirone twisting his body in a counterattack stance, I felt motion sick again.
‘It must be said that time has already oscillated.’
This was my second time feeling it, but it was an extremely dirty feeling that I couldn’t describe.
‘But will we be able to find a gap this time?’
Even if it was a surprise attack like before, he was confident that there would be no loopholes in his preparedness.
‘Try back as much as you want.’
In any case, the only thing that will be decided is the incident where Sirone’s head falls off.
‘If I win this time, it’s 1 win and 1 loss. But…
Freed’s sword was swung at a speed that exceeded the limits of the law.
‘My first victory is your death!’
Then, at the midpoint where the sword and magic collided, the wheel spun quickly.
‘World wheel? damn!’
It is not strong in itself.
However, strength was not needed to maintain absolute balance by circulating external forces.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
As the power rotated around the world wheel, Sirone and Freed were thrown in opposite directions.
“Ugh!”
Amanta was standing where the two people were glaring, spinning the world wheel between her palms.
“Stop it. “It’s a meaningless fight.” Freed pursed his lips.
“It’s meaningless? “You must have heard that brat looking at me funny?”
“Because they were both wrong.” Amanta looked back at Taesung and said.
“Human-centered Sirone system-centered Freed. It can be seen as a failure in that it has already failed to prevent today’s situation. Please let me use the world wheel even now.”
Taeseong asked.
“How balanced can you be?”
“In exchange for wiping out 80 percent of humanity, we can reduce the number of demons below 30 percent.”
Minerva argued.
“80% of humanity is a joke?”
“It couldn’t have been this extreme. “If you had listened to me when I suggested turning the world wheel, humanity would have made only 30 percent of the sacrifice.”
Sirone countered.
“Even 30 percent is a big number.”
“yes. But that 30 percent is no longer in the world. “They’re all dead.” “Do you know what I mean? I tolerated your idealism once, even if it wasn’t my will. But as a result, I made greater sacrifices. “Face reality.”
“Soin, let me say something.” From the outermost part of the Earth Temple, a woman’s voice as cold as a sword was heard.
It was the Odaeseong Thing of the Department of Law.
Her black hair was tied tightly on top of her head, and her pale face was fierce but beautiful.
“Wait a minute. I haven’t said anything yet… Just as Freed was about to step forward, Thing’s right hand gently moved to the side.
‘What is it?’
Sirone’s eyes widened.
Everyone except Thing felt as if they had become bugs, as small as dust on the floor.
‘It’s a huge law.’
Minerva gritted her teeth.
‘Thing of the Ministry of Law. If Freed is an annoying guy, that woman is really strong.’
Thing opened his mouth.
“There is no standard in the law. When I become strong, others become weak. Therefore, I think it will be helpful to reveal my thoughts without standards.”
Taeseong asked.
“What are your thoughts?”
“…I also have doubts about whether humans are worthy of such respect.”
While Freed raised the corners of his mouth, the wrinkles between Sirone’s eyebrows deepened.
Minerva sighed.
‘Of course it is, Sirone. The people gathered here are all people who have reached the highest level of humanity.’
Those who received the title of Five Great Stars.
‘What they have in common… is that they have been hurt by countless people.
‘The truth is, you know how terrible humans are. That’s why you’re going crazy.’
Not feeling like we were fighting together was the cause of Oh Dae-seong’s depression.
“There is no humanity in this world. “There are only humans, humans, and humans.”
According to Thing’s theory, humans are beings who have fallen alone into a place created by someone else.
“Honestly, I don’t know. I can’t believe there are so many people living in this world. “Only I am human and all of you are illusions.”
Everyone is a doll except me.
Even if it were applied to everyone in the world, no human would be able to prove the contradiction in Thing’s words.
“So, I am the only human in this universe. I’m just fighting to create my own world. “I don’t really want to worry about the pain that illusions go through.”
Sirone looked bored.
‘What kind of life have you lived to have such thoughts?’
However, that philosophy was the driving force behind Thing’s extreme manipulation of the law.
“So, I tried as much as possible to fit in with the meaning of the illusion created by someone called Freedra… but the
giant Thing still looked back at Shirone, who was standing on the vast floor, and smiled.
“The illusion of Sirone is also quite unique.”
‘What on earth?’
I couldn’t analyze the woman named Sing.
