The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 288
The demon stretched out its gigantic hand toward the Foundation.
A sight devoid of reality, as if the night sky had turned upside down and was falling.
The sky is falling down.
Even though I felt far away from the gap between gods and humans, I did not miss the sight and kept it in my eyes.
The demon god harvested the bright red energy flowing from the altar.
And the energy harvested like that was united.
Soon, it became a bright red crystal and stuck in the night sky.
A bright red star was newly born in the pitch-black sky.
An infinitely ominous star.
There were already countless stars like that in the sky, and a gloomy bloody color was flowing.
“…Crazy.”
Each of them has the power to overturn the times.
Hundreds of things like that… …The Demon God was preparing all of this for his own purpose.
reverse.
The sky wants to overthrow the sky.
How contradictory is this?
“If the author had been ‘the one and only God’, there would have been no need to mention the word reversal. but…There was already an ‘obvious order’ created by Asar in this world.”
A clear order that even a god would not dare to go against.
I looked closely at the sky beyond.
The stars were showing off their ominous light as if they would overturn the world at any moment, but they have no further influence.
“The reason why the author has not broken his influence in this world so far is because this ‘order’ is still in effect, despite the role of Hekau.”
“In other words, at that time, the Demon God could not break the order created by Asar.”
“that day…Because he was prepared to die and drove the demon out of the world.”
Set let out a small sigh.
The demon who harvested the power of the altar disappeared from the area without any regrets as if it had no meaning anymore.
All that was left was a bloody star that emitted an ominous light in the sky.
“Damn it.”
“And the one who was managing this ‘altar’ at this time came out… ….”
Seth’s eyes turned to me.
“Your father, Solomon.”
“…!”
Is my sijo coming out here?
“Isn’t it a little different? To be precise, I was a government official, but Solomon seems to have been more deeply involved.”
“Can I even say that?”
I don’t think the restrictions are weak enough to reveal these circumstances.
Then Set said.
“…Certainly, there is no such thing as a restriction. It is clear that I cannot yet clarify the mysteries of the past.”
“then.”
She frowned.
“But I’ve been hiding a lot from you all this time, haven’t I? You’ve done a lot, but I don’t think you’ve revealed anything properly.”
“…What price do you have to bear?”
“There isn’t, but fortunately, this is the middle of the ‘trial’, isn’t it? I am now in the body of the ‘past’. That means the cost to bear is reduced. It’s within my ability to handle it, so there’s no need to worry.”
Seth smiled softly as he said that.
“Besides, I didn’t mean to say that it was really dangerous at this level.”
“I see.”
I’m glad then
Thinking so, I raised my head. A red star ominously spilled blood in the sky.
…I don’t know how to drink
However, I felt the need to understand from the point of view of dealing with him.
It’s not about understanding or sympathizing.
To understand is to be able to guess his thoughts.
If so, it will definitely be different from before the return.
Yes, it will certainly be different from the time when I was in a hurry to follow it, considering it just a moving disaster.
Then, based on the information I have heard so far, what kind of existence is a ‘demon god’?
‘He was afraid of solitude and wanted to be in the same class as himself.’
However, the existence of mankind was not allowed.
In the first place, it is clear that the ‘hatred towards mankind’ is considerable for him to descend and destroy the world once.
Of course, more information is needed.
First of all, Asar.
Just like seeing the demon who disappeared just now, wouldn’t it be possible to grasp some information about Asar?
“Then first….”
But just as I was muttering that, I was suddenly pierced by a sharp scream that pierced my ears.
– B-B-B is mean!!
oh shit it’s a surprise
desperate scream.
His voice was so hoarse that he wondered if his ears were bleeding.
Is this the lesset side?
I looked around for something, but I couldn’t see anything.
It’s probably from the outside sending voices to me.
A disgruntled voice continued.
– You ate too much raw!
“What are you talking about? All you had to do was pass the ordeal. What else do you need?”
Of course, it’s true that I used an expedient, but at the point of not recognizing it, those two don’t have the right to speak to me proudly.
– profit!
At that moment, between me and the set, Boom! With a shout, Lesset and Mecht appeared.
“Void! Void!”
Two twins screaming with tears hanging from their heads with expressions of resentment.
Of course, it is a ridiculous rebellion.
“Yeah no I passed. I won. You two are losers.”
“Hey hey…!”
Lessett groaned.
But there was nothing wrong with what I was saying, so I just messed around.
Then after a while… ….
“eww….”
“Uh uh are you going to cry?”
“Ueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeein!”
I burst into tears.
The angel of the world burst into tears!
Of course it’s not my business!
Oh, you should have won.
I looked down at the twins who were sobbing with a relaxed smile like a victor.
“Ah, is this the taste of victory?”
– Admirable Contractor. How dare you take on such a crappy, trashy attitude.
Wise showed a small admiration for my distribution.
– Well, at this level, you have to hit the back of the devil.
“Close your mouth.”
In the first place, it is the truth of this floor that the winner has everything.
I’m just following the truth
“Anyway, this is my victory. don’t back down No matter what you say, you can’t pick up spilled water and contain it.”
“…What kind of hero is this!”
“I can’t admit…!”
Of course, it doesn’t matter how the two react.
Doesn’t the fact that I passed the ordeal mean that I didn’t exist?
Those two must have expected a situation where Set would give up after suffering endlessly in the past. Or it’s a scene of growing up after overcoming it somehow.
“That’s too much! You just fluffed around as an expedient and then released the suggestion!”
“It’s mental strength, and it’s a solution that doesn’t mean anything! Messy!”
“Oh what?”
Anyway, Sett came to his senses, right?
In its own way, that’s like overcoming an ordeal.
“Isn’t the fact that the two of you showed up in front of me in the first place admitted defeat?”
It means that the whole situation is over when the supervisor who controls the ordeal shows up like this.
“That is…!”
“Quickly declare defeat. I have a lot of other things to do.”
“Ugh….”
At my words, the twins stared at each other for a while, fidgeting.
But eventually after a while.
“Losing defeats…I admit it.”
He lowered his head with a look of disapproval.
“I’ll count the ordeal as passing, and I’ll get rid of this ‘illusion’….”
“…If you passed, you don’t need it.”
The twins said that and raised both hands up.
It seems as if he is going to get rid of this improvised ‘past’ right away.
then i stepped out
“for a moment.”
“Yes…?”
“What are you already kicking? I have no intention of getting out of here right now.”
At my words, the twins tilted their heads as if they couldn’t understand.
“…uh why If you passed the ordeal, you’d also get the god you wanted. You don’t have to waste your time here, do you?”
“If this were a ‘normal’ fantasy, it might have been.”
I said that and looked at the two.
“But wouldn’t it?”
yes it is not
“…!”
At my words, the two of them just looked at me with their eyes wide open.
like a stone statue.
Then, after a while, the two of them, who managed to get rid of the hardening, looked at each other with awkward expressions and said.
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you know Lesset?”
Of course, even if it’s not an openly suspicious reaction, I’ve already noticed it roughly.
What is this ‘fantasy’.
I put it in my mouth.
“Is it a simulation?”
“…!”
Pseudo-reality to create numerous ‘number of cases’ to counter the Demon God.
yeah that’s all there is
* * *
As an apostle, it is natural to think of a way to counter the Demon God somehow.
Because the demons are the ones they need to fight and block.
That’s why each of the apostles had their own means to counter the Demon God.
And these twins… ….
“At first, I thought it was just the ability to use water as it seemed?”
“Ugh….”
“But come to think of it, it wasn’t. I tried provoking and stimulating them from a distance, but no meaningful reaction came out. If so, what is the ‘sacred object’ you are in charge of, and what is the real power you hold?”
The powers of the twins this time are overly limited.
However, no matter how much they are treated as twins, in the end these two are apostles.
If it is limited, there is a reason for the limitation.
Yes, that’s why it has to be so ‘limited’.
“If it’s to the point where I suggest another ‘trial’ right away, even after I’ve devastated Silin like that.”
“Ugh….”
“It must mean that it was prepared in advance. It’s so certain that it can be operated right away.”
At my words, the twins stared at me, unable to hide their bewilderment, and continued talking.
“Did you come here knowing everything, you mean challenger?”
“No, I just guessed it while analyzing it in real time.”
No big deal.
All he needed was some useful mana detection ability, an understanding of divine objects, and miscellaneous knowledge.
“…Whoa.”
At my words, Mecht frowned for a moment and then spoke to me.
“What the humble challenger said is true. The fact that it was possible to draw it right in the first place was only possible because we created this ‘pseudo-reality’ a long time ago.”
“Isn’t that the perfect reality?”
“…When you get to that level, it’s just god. It’s not up to that level. In the first place, even if it is reality, it is only similar to the end.”
The two twins continued with sullen expressions.
“In the first place, no matter what the challenger tries to do, there is nothing to be gained? As I said, it’s a ‘pseudo’ reality. We tried to make it better while guarding the tomb, but we failed.”
“Why did you make it?”
“Just that….”
The twins hesitated.
Mecht didn’t seem to want to talk about the ‘why’, but Lesset’s case was different.
“…Because I wanted to see Asar again.”
“….”
“And I didn’t want to let that woman forget the crime she committed.”
Even if it’s fake, the thought of not forgetting the sin of the set of wishes to reunite with Asar… ….
Is that a story about being entangled?
what good Not for any strange reason.
Besides, it seems that those two regard the ‘pseudo-reality’ they created as a failure.
‘It’s not necessarily like that.’
Dear Asar.
Hatred of the set.
Could it be that this pseudo-reality was created at the end of the entanglement of the two?
“So did you meet Asar?”
“…It makes no sense.”
Lesset said to me with a sullen expression.
“That’s why I said it was a failure. I didn’t mean to resurrect him. just…There is such a thing as a minimal conversation. It’s like talking to him… ….”
“Hmm what about it?”
“There was no response.”
Saying that, Lesset’s shoulders trembled faintly.
Mecht’s eyes also darkened. She continued, taking Lesset’s words.
“I don’t know anything else. But I couldn’t see him at all. As if it never existed in the first place.”
“…hmm?”
didn’t exist from the beginning?
“In this era, ‘Great Asar’ isn’t dead yet, is it? Still, it wasn’t even created at all?”
“Of course, it wasn’t that there were no signs. There was a time when the space fluctuated for a while while I was working… ….”
Until then, it was said that there was an Asar who spoke ‘determined lines’.
Of course, this is not satisfactory.
What the two wanted was an existence that could react to their words in real time and establish a proper conversation.
So I wanted to fix it.
But at some point
has disappeared.
After that, no matter how much the pseudo-reality was improved and corrected, the disappeared Asar did not return.
“…So at some point I gave up and just wanted to use it as part of the ordeal. It may have been a problem in itself that I tried to touch him, a ‘divine being’ in the first place.”
“good. I roughly understood.”
Simply put, this is it.
“You guys tried to ‘recreate’ Asar with your own abilities. But at some point, it completely disappeared.”
“…That’s it.”
“But I guess I used this for the purpose of ‘trial’…It seems like he just wanted to bully him under the pretext of recreating Set’s memories.”
“….”
The two were silent.
That means my guess is right.
Well, the story goes fast.
“Do you remember earlier that the two of you agreed to listen to ‘whatever’ if you passed this ordeal?”
“Do you remember that?”
Lesset replied with a very anxious expression.
I looked at the two of them and smiled as if I didn’t have to worry at all.
“are you okay. I don’t want much.”
“Hehehe. is that right? A benevolent challenger won’t ask us for anything strange, right?”
“okay.”
I never ask for much I just want something reasonable.
“So, give me this.”
“…uh?”
At my words, the twins looked at me with their eyes wide open.
The two of them looked at me with an expression that they didn’t know what the hell they were hearing.
“What are you saying…?”
“Give me the ownership of this ‘pseudo-reality’ you’ve spent your whole life developing. I will write you well.”
– Does this mean that Sado Heo will eat even the results of his long-term efforts?
“Wow, that’s a bit….”
At my words, Weiss and Set took turns talking.
But what!
It’s a pseudo-reality, but how can you stand this! I still have a lot of things to worry about!
“Mama, don’t talk nonsense! You still think how long it took us to make this!”
“Oh, it took a lot?! It took a lot of time that you guys can’t even imagine?!”
“Then, do you mean that you will break your promise before then? An apostle’s promise will never be light.”
“Ugh…!”
At my words, the twins glared at me with expressions that looked like they would cry at any moment.
“Ha, but anyway, that’s…!”
“If you feel so uncomfortable and regretful, how about this?”
I looked at the two and said.
“Let me meet Asar.”
“…!”
At those words, the twins’ eyes shook violently.
