The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 289
“What what…?”
Stuttering, Mecht asked.
“Can I meet him?”
“Of course, it’s not like resurrecting ‘Great Asar’. In the first place, that is impossible.”
yes that is impossible
If even a simple human cannot be resurrected even if hundreds of thousands of lives are poured into it, how can a divine being be resurrected?
But what about Asar, who said the two twins failed to recreate?
“…him?”
The set also looks quite agitated.
Then Lesset shouted.
“Boo is impossible! Hundreds of thousands of attempts have been made to recreate Him in this quasi-reality! Ooh, do you think we were doing this because we were so incompetent?!”
“Of course, I don’t think you two are incompetent. It is foolish to underestimate the apostle who assisted Asar in the first place.”
Certainly, the ‘attempt’ that Mecht and Lesset were talking about was far beyond what the criminal could do.
but.
“But there is a lot of knowledge I have acquired. To the extent that you are not inferior to your apostles.”
“…Ugh.”
They didn’t deny what I said.
In fact, the things I planned to deal with these two seemed simple at first glance, but each one was difficult to execute even with a decent amount of knowledge.
“So you know how?”
“If I didn’t know, would I have said this?”
At my words, the two twins’ expressions blurred.
The two were deep in thought.
After a moment of leeway, I spoke slowly.
“Anyway, you two lost the bet and you must be obliged to grant me one wish.”
“That’s it, but….”
Whether or not I give them a chance to meet the recreated Asar, these two have no choice anyway.
You yourself know that too.
and after a while
“Ah Okay….”
“I’ll hand over the ownership.”
As they said that, they stretched out their trembling hands toward me.
Then, a bright blue light flowed from the fingertips.
The light carved a sentence into the air.
Mecht and Lesset.
The ownership of the pseudo-reality owned by the two is embodied.
If you fill in the ‘signature column’ of this sentence using my mana, the transfer of ownership will be complete.
“…But what are you going to do with this? Even if it’s a pseudo-reality, it’s only half of reality and has no effect on reality.”
“What are you doing?”
Even if it is simply a ‘pseudo-reality’, this is a reenactment of the reality of that time by the apostle who experienced that era.
I mean, this is a huge collection of information.
If so, various attempts will be possible using it.
Yes, depending on how you use it… ….
“Learning by repetition.”
“…Repeat learning?”
“Okay, doesn’t that mean that with a little modification, we can face demons endlessly through simulation?”
Even if you die and die, you can continue to challenge yourself.
Of course, it’s nothing compared to ‘real’, but it’s meaningful to deal with demons nonetheless.
of course.
‘…That’s not the only reason.’
Swallowing those words into my heart, I signed the blanks in the contract.
* * *
Why did Asar, reproduced through pseudo-reality, disappear?
No matter how much you try to reproduce Asar through crystals, Asar does not appear.
If it was possible to reproduce the same divine being, the demon, but if Asar could not be reproduced, what would be the reason?
“…Really Mikhail?”
Following me, Set cautiously asked me.
“Even if he reappears, will I be able to see Asar again?”
“What would it be?”
“But how…? In what way did he judge that it was impossible to reproduce even the twins… ….”
“This pseudo-reality is, after all, created by two apostles, Mecht and Lesset. Isn’t it?”
“…yes?”
Set nodded.
“In the end, this space is bound to be influenced by the producer’s consciousness and inclination. Especially to the apostles, ‘Asar’ literally means a being who must be absolutely respected.”
It is different from drinking.
If the devil is simply an enemy to be fought, ‘Asar’ to the apostles is an absolute good that betrayal is not forgiven under any circumstances.
Besides, he’s also a god… ….
“Set, you too were quite shaken by the fact that you could reunite with Asar, even for a moment.”
“…yes.”
“Then what about the two of you? Even the reason for creating this ‘pseudo-reality’ is Asar.”
It goes without saying that he put more sincerity than any other being here.
perhaps…To the extent that they judge and move on their own, unlike things that move according to plan.
“Wait a minute….”
Set told me with an expression of disbelief.
“So you’re saying that Asar wasn’t simply not reproduced, but rather was not found because he was too well represented?”
“I’m looking at it like that for now.”
“Ha but why?”
Set spoke again with an expression of incomprehension.
“There is no reason for him to avoid our apostle. Even if it’s only a reproduced existence, it won’t be that different… ….”
“I told you. Possibility of being reproduced ‘too well’.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean that the reproduced Asar will become real.
However, in this ‘similar world’, it is possible to play a role as a reappearance.
For example, that sleep itself has some meaning.
“Ha, but how can you be so sure of that? No matter how much you think about it, it’s accurate everywhere… ….”
“What is that?”
I quietly pointed up.
The sky that a god once drank swept through.
In a space filled with jet black and bloody stars… ….
“Because you’re talking up there?”
In an instant, a blue light flashed.
Whenever my fingertips point, the light flickers as if in response.
“…You see something like that?”
However, Set just tilted his head and put on an expression that he didn’t know why.
The same goes for Mecht and Lesset.
It seems invisible to the three of them.
Of course it doesn’t matter.
– All right Contractor. Can I also see that bright star of life?
It’s a thought that sometimes comes to mind, but it seems that the < Longinus > that Wise ate was quite amazing.
It feels like your existence has completely changed.
Whatever.
“That’s why I’m thinking of facing Asar, who has been recreated sooner or later… ….”
“how?”
“How to do it.”
I said that and stretched out my hand toward the sky.
How to knock to call the original landlord.
“You have to knock politely.”
“What are you worried about?”
Set looked at me for a moment with a subtle look on his face.
Then, after a while, he asked.
“Um, Mikhail?”
“why.”
“Why on earth are you condensing mana into your fingertips? As if splitting the sky… ….”
“No, I’m not going to do anything.”
‘Asar’ in this world sent me a message.
but it doesn’t show up
That would mean that you should show your ‘value’ enough to show up and have a conversation.
If so… ….
“I will break it down.”
If it’s a power that can surprise a god, isn’t there only the power of the same god after all?
“You can’t…?!”
Seth, perhaps realizing what I was about to do, widened his eyes.
But it’s already too late.
Because the preparations are definitely finished.
“< Destroy >.”
“…uh?”
“…ah?”
And the twins’ expressions became blank as they confirmed the power surging from me with an expression of disbelief.
and at the same time.
Kwajik.
The space started to collapse.
“What what?! what?!”
“Ahhhh?!”
The twins made a fuss at once.
The set just stiffened as they watched the space begin to crumble.
Of course I’m calm.
It was expected from the beginning.
The pitch-black sky collapsed and the black, dead land also disappeared without a trace.
“What is it?”
“Ooh, we’ve never created a space like this before, right? what the hell is this… ….”
The twins looked around with confused expressions.
pure whiteness.
It was a blank space where nothing was drawn.
But this is not the end.
It can’t end like this.
“Where are you going?!”
I took a step
I don’t know the direction, and I don’t even know if this road leads to ‘destination’, but it doesn’t matter.
It will arrive anyway.
Because the existence at the end will be hoping for that.
how long did you walk
– A group of contractors have disappeared.
Set and even the twins disappeared from the surroundings.
As if it never existed in the first place.
“are you okay.”
But he wasn’t worried. If that was the case, there would have been a reason for that.
Without hesitation, I continued walking.
Then the landscape changes.
The space where there was nothing started to be filled with new things again.
First there was the floor, then the sky… ….
A pillar rose behind it.
Before I knew it, I was at the temple.
To a huge shrine surrounded by beautiful colors.
and its end.
Someone was sitting at the prepared table. The face doesn’t look as if it’s covered in noise.
The body was also tightly wrapped in a long cloth, so it was impossible to properly determine the gender.
– …hmm.
Wise, who saw that, let out a small drool.
In itself, a respect welled up in my heart, as if I had to kneel at any moment.
And he saw me
Through the noisy scene, blue eyes like the starlight I saw earlier stared at me.
“Welcome.”
A neutral voice rang in my ears.
I couldn’t tell whether it was a man or a woman, but one thing was clear: I could feel the warmth in his voice.
but at the same time.
sticky.
I also heard some discomfort.
I could guess the identity of that feeling a little, but I showed my respect to him while trying to ignore it.
“nice to see you.”
okay.
“Assar.”
I paid my respects to a God who no longer exists.
* * *
「….」
The man who had been sitting on the throne with his eyes closed quietly opened his eyes.
An energy burst out from those red eyes.
He took it for granted that he would never be able to see it here.
sticky.
I felt the pain again.
Displeasure settles on your face.
It seems that something has happened to this wound.
He simply realized what the situation was.
What happened on the other side and what will happen… ….
It doesn’t matter.
It is only natural that mortals and creatures will eventually do as they wish, no matter what they do.
But why?
“…How dare you.」
Displeasure rises.
The memory that had been lodged deep in his heart from so long ago offended him.
He just flicked his finger as he sat on the throne.
At that moment, the space opened up.
As if it were natural, a huge demon appeared in front of him.
A monarch with immense power.
“Speak….”
The Great Demon, who had been respected by all demons outside the world as if it was natural, shook his head and shook his head.
He stared at the demon silently with red eyes.
“….」
He didn’t say anything, but the great devil Belphegor realized.
“I will accept it.”
Nodding lightly at those words, he stretched out his long arm and lightly swept the space.
Then the space opened up.
The open space swallowed Belphegor at once.
Now, of course, Belphegor would head to the place he remembered.
And I will do what I command.
Alone again, he quietly closed his eyes in the dark.
– It’s not too late.
– Please, please… ….
Two different voices cross each other in my head.
But it was soon brushed off.
It’s a memory that has no meaning now.
Somehow it was really unpleasant.
so delete it
No matter how much I was the successor of that guy, it would be meaningless.
okay.
will get it all back
