The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 371
Everything is over.
The magic worked as planned and the moment I had been waiting for finally arrived.
The Demon God has collapsed and will soon be completely annihilated.
Because that’s the magic that made it.
Although it might be more accurate to say that it was a newly created power exclusively for me rather than magic.
‘It’s a kind of suicide device.’
No matter how much I am, I can’t simply use the magic of the 10th circle.
All of this was possible because there was a spell tied to the soul in advance.
No regrets.
‘About 10 minutes left.’
What can be done before that? Giving a will to Hecau and Wise over there?
Making a will is an extremely humane act, so it must be done.
I don’t have enough time to look back at the people who have helped me so far, so this should be the best.
When I thought about that and tried to move.
【How… …Are you standing… ….]
A voice was heard.
When I looked away, the disfigured Demon God was staggering towards me.
The former majesty is so shabby that it is impossible to find even a little bit.
I guess so.
The demon god, like me, has an end in sight.
He asked me again, as if he couldn’t understand until the end.
【Why did you reject my offer? If you had humanity, you might have. but…Why did he make this choice even after becoming a god… ….】
“Didn’t Asar do this too?”
Asar was also a god.
Even unlike me, he was born as a god from birth, and he was born with a way of thinking that suited him.
Nevertheless, he gave up his immortality and died for humanity.
Of course, now that I think about it, that might have been Asar’s misjudgment.
Rather, there must have been a way to completely clean up the demon and give up immortality.
yeah not efficient
At that, the guy let out a laugh and said.
【under…haha yes it was That guy too… …That’s right.]
He raised his head with cloudy eyes and stared into the air.
【Why did you simply throw away that natural privilege? And that’s just for the sake of the creature… ….】
“Let’s be honest.”
I said with a small sigh.
“You already understand. I just don’t get it.”
The reason why mankind was chosen by Asar has already been shown to an overflowing extent.
Isn’t it proof that they were not captured even by the demon’s interference for a long time?
In the end, the seed planted by Asar took root and grew and bore fruit.
【….]
At my words, the demon was silent for a moment. I understand, but I just don’t understand. What was the man thinking when he heard that?
all fail
Now, with the end really near, what the hell is the drinking god… ….
【Convince… …haha….]
He let out a laugh as if he had lost his mind with a face filled with a sense of shame.
【Now that I think about it, she should have done something to me before giving up her immortality.】
“….”
【If that’s the case, there wouldn’t have been a crisis like this in the first place. But he dared to kick me out and choose to be destroyed.]
The demon muttered blankly.
【I don’t know. Why was that?]
“….”
There is an answer that comes to mind.
It is just an identity as a representative of mankind.
Things like that make me wonder if I should be so considerate of him.
but within
“perhaps…Maybe he wanted to prove it.”
I opened my mouth slowly.
It’s really over, but I thought it would be more appropriate to give an answer.
【proof…?】
“Yes, proof. Weren’t you in a state of rage that you could never understand in a simple way? He may have thought that it would be better to show urgency and sincerity in order to persuade him.”
Just as the demon was obsessed with Asar, Asar must have had quite a few feelings for the demon.
Because they were originally one.
In a way, it can be said that it is a family of only two people.
If you think so, Asar might have wanted to convince the Demon God until the very last moment.
Even giving up the more ‘efficient future’ he had drawn… ….
Come to think of it, Asar didn’t just make perfect choices.
Even if it’s just the apostles right now, it’s not like they did their duty without an accident until the end.
【…That’s why it’s not even funny.]
“A lot would have changed if you had accepted his offer. You will have escaped solitude and you will have many opportunities.”
But he didn’t.
I wasn’t particularly angry.
It’s not that I approve of his actions, it’s because I don’t have enough humanity left to be angry at those things.
It just mechanically gave the answer.
“Whatever it was, it was your choice in the end.”
【….]
At my words, the demon didn’t say much until half of his body disappeared.
He was just lost in thought with eyes locked in remorse.
and after a while
[I see.]
He nodded as if he had realized something and then looked at me.
【Is it like that? I’m at his mercy until the very end… ….]
“….”
The guy who had been muttering those words in succession in a daze turned his head to me after a while. 【
Do you want an apology
?】
[I guess so.]
He calmly nodded as if he understood.
“Then why did you suddenly feel the need to apologize to me?”
【I can’t understand myself either. It just seemed like it should be like this.]
And again after a while.
As if he understood it only belatedly, he continued with an empty smile.
【You’re late. Really.】
“….”
all late regrets
It is just an empty echo that has no meaning. Even though I saw the correct answer, the punishment for ignoring it was too great.
The Demon God will not be able to sympathize with anyone for this miserable end, and will gradually be forgotten.
Now his body was almost gone. No matter what intervened, the demon could not be revived.
The end of a divine being who has lived through eons of time is truly futile.
His gaze moved behind me.
【…Solomon.]
“….”
【Tell me. Whatever. You must have a lot to say to me.]
“No.”
Even as she said that, Wise had a complicated expression on her face.
He was persecuted by his father all his life.
The demon relentlessly destroyed his life, and Solomon was always chased away, not being able to live a leisurely life even for a moment. To the point where even his mild personality was twisted.
But that kind of father is dying in front of my eyes.
It’s something you’ve been wishing for all your life, but when that moment comes, you don’t know how people feel.
【is it. then….]
“I will not accept an apology.”
【….]
“It’s not like I’ll improve by listening to it at the end, everything my father did…There is nothing to be forgiven.”
Weiss’ tone was firm.
In the first place, there is no way that the emotions that have suffered for so long can be resolved in an instant.
It will end with a twist.
However, the existence of Wise named Solomon is not so cold-hearted after all.
He finally let out a small sigh and said to his father.
“I will twist everything my father wanted to do. We will create a world of mankind, not gods, and we will respect their freedom.”
【….】
“I want to be a part of them. As Asar did.”
【haha…]
Hearing that he would deny everything about himself, the Demon God laughed weakly for a moment and then nodded.
【…I guess so. This is the end of a loser.]
I was afraid of loneliness.
There must be many complex reasons why the Demon God gave this messenger, but in the end, that would be the reason.
Saying that this is better, he closed his eyes. And before it completely disappears, he turns his head toward me for a moment… ….
【Sorry Mikhail.】
Leaving only those short words.
he is gone
* * *
Crispy.
Now it’s my turn.
“….”
inevitable death.
As long as even the Demon God had disappeared, I could feel that it was truly right in front of me.
It was brave enough to endure this far.
Watching my fingertips crumble into small pieces, I quietly prepared for the end.
“Wise Hekau.”
These two who have been watching over me until now.
I have something to say to them.
At least it was right to leave at least a last message to those who were with me when I was human.
These two are sure to tell everyone.
It was when I opened my mouth thinking that.
Wow!
“Okay.”
Suddenly, with those words, Hekau took me in his arms. Although it was a form of hugging rather than hugging because of the size of the body.
she was holding me
The body inside me shuddered faintly.
Is it a bit complicated?
“you…There is no need to sacrifice.”
“It’s a set thing.”
everything is decided
As long as humanity has completely disappeared, the existence of me is a god itself and is only an existence that should disappear.
The great magic of the 10th circle < end >.
It was that kind of power.
The power to completely eliminate only the presence of God in this world.
Of course I can’t escape either.
But then.
“He and Harmageddon…All gone. Now all that’s left is me It’s impossible for a piece of the beginning to be alive shamelessly.”
Ugh.
With those words, the bright light that flowed from her began to embrace me.
Kindness gently wraps around my whole body.
“what…are you going to do it?”
“Before rewinding, I said to myself ‘die’.”
It was hard to guess at first because she didn’t know what it meant, she said.
But as time went on, I learned what that word meant.
“If you live this long, you can call it a blessing to choose when and where you will die. Because I have been around for a really long time.”
“you….”
In an instant, he realized what Hecau was trying to do.
I immediately struggled and tried to get away from her, but to no avail.
I am already on the brink of extinction.
There is no way I have the strength to shake her off.
“Come to think of it, you aren’t even worthy of a god. Fists speak before words and speak harshly. It really is too violent.”
The light grew stronger as she continued to speak. I tried to move, but it didn’t move properly.
Originally, it would have been impossible.
If it was an impromptu event, it would be impossible for Hekau to do anything.
But that it is possible.
“Okay.”
That he had been preparing for this moment for quite some time.
“Are you going to assume my godhead?”
“I have already lost too many children. The sacrifices continued under the pretext of being a ‘hero’.”
Hekau said bitterly.
I could feel the trembling in the hand holding me.
The agony of the one who had to drive heroes to death for so many years is conveyed intact.
What should I do?
In this situation, what should I do to die with everything as it is….
Seeing me like that, she touched my face as if she felt sorry for me.
“The desire for life has also faded. It’s sad that the level has risen to the point where you can’t handle it.”
“I am….”
“Okay.”
Hekau said.
“Shouldn’t I protect my last child with these hands?”
The light embraced me and slowly began to heal the damaged area.
The level is lowered, but on the contrary, life begins to rise.
That moment.
‘ah.’
I’m crying.
Emotions sprouted again.
On the contrary, Hekau’s body was crumbling just like I was before.
It was as if a dam had broken.
Emotions begin to pour uncontrollably as things that have been blocked are released.
ah.
Ahhh.
Something kept blocking my way.
The things I had endured all this time completely destroyed my rationality.
The voice exploded right after that.
“I said I would take care of everything!”
“I got it.”
“I planned this from the beginning…!”
But at that moment, I closed my mouth at the next words.
“You don’t want to die, do you?”
because it was true
Damn it.
I don’t want to die.
But because that’s not the case.
Because I have to. So just… ….
there was just
why don’t you send it
“Okay. It’s natural. Rather, you have been suppressing those desires to a strange extent. It was my fault for letting you take on that responsibility.”
“I am….”
“It’s quite refreshing to see you showing such an emotional side. You didn’t have much awe of God from the first meeting.”
Hekau giggled as he recalled that time.
And yet, she continued to fall apart.
Just like the Demon God, she will also fall apart.
What I should have done originally.
“Since I will perish with the last remaining deity, there will be no god anywhere.”
That’s enough.
She muttered that and slowly closed her eyes.
“Thank you.”
The Last God told me.
“Everything.”
and disappeared at the same time.
The end of an era that had been going on for a really long time was taken.
