The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 294
For God, everything eventually leads to inevitability.
Of course, God is not unique.
Therefore, even if it is inevitable, it does not mean that there is no possibility of twisting.
Yes, it is not ‘was’.
However, one of the strongest two disappeared and only one remained, so the possibility became almost non-existent.
“….」
God felt the disappearance of the creatures he had chosen himself.
A special being among creatures.
Special creatures who have given away some of their ‘sin’ with their own hands.
Now, about half of those special things are gone.
Originally, he should have felt regret, but from God’s point of view, such feelings have long since worn out.
All that remains is hate.
There was once a time when I tried to understand the choice of a close friend. But in the end, the feeling that remained is this.
“Is this what you wanted?”
As he recalled the old memories, Shin’s face cracked for a moment.
Losing a creature is a loss.
But it had meaning nonetheless.
Certainly, he recognized that the ‘hero’ of this generation dared to reach his level.
omniscience and omnipotence.
The creature dares to step into the ranks of the Creator.
It’s really off topic.
But at the same time, I was able to realize the possibilities as well.
“…Was it mixed in as well?」
The child who now calls himself a ‘hero’ could, strictly speaking, be a part of himself.
In the first place, it is not something that can be obtained unless it is to that extent.
Yes, it’s not unusual since it’s the child’s descendant.
Originally, it should have been a talent that should have bloomed in her own arms.
When I thought so, the feelings I thought I had brushed off again squeezed my soul.
Solomon.
A child who came against himself even though he came from himself.
Even with the words of that decision, what was it like?
Didn’t he get abandoned by the apostles because he couldn’t gain faith and end his life after living in fear for the rest of his life?
Was it just like that?
Did you betray me and make that weapon just to see something like that?
If you don’t aim for the ridiculous thing of killing a god… ….
“….」
…Of course, that’s a pointless idea.
It’s in the past anyway.
I have no intention of repeating such a ‘failure’ anymore.
An important thing is.
「The time of the world has been rewinded.」
With that short battle this time, I learned something about the hero of this generation.
I also understood why this generation’s hero had so effectively foiled his plans.
It is nonsense.
The fact that he deceived himself and rewinded time, not even other beings, means that the hero of this generation has the ‘possibility’ that Asar so longed for.
Most of them even bloomed.
Except for the first hero… ….
Admit it. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one has ever created such a sense of crisis.
But at the same time he saw possibilities.
The possibility of making oneself complete again, which was inevitably imperfect.
He was born with his own blood.
At the same time, an existence to support Asar’s will and fulfill his longing.
Then it… ….
「Doesn’t it mean that I can make ‘I’ perfect again?”
The existence that fulfills Asar’s longing makes himself complete.
what a sweet word
If so, you can wait.
I’ve been patient for a long time, but it wouldn’t make sense if I couldn’t endure even this ‘moment’.
If that’s the case, you’ll need to check before rewinding.
“….」
Eventually, God’s eyes began to examine the past.
* * *
“…hmm.”
After destroying Belphegor.
I came up with a question.
‘No matter what, it seems that the Demon God threw the Great Devil too easily.’
No, it wasn’t easy.
If he hadn’t been aware of his divinity due to the unexpected intervention of Asar’s reenactment, there was a high possibility that it would have flowed as the demon god thought.
No matter how much he was a demon, he couldn’t be sure of the unexpected variable called ‘Asar’.
With that in mind, it’s not particularly strange that the Demon God sent Belphegor all the way here alone.
But if that’s not the case… ….
‘Perhaps he brought Belphegor with the intention of sacrificing him from the beginning.’
During the battle, Belphegor was worried about the ‘demon god’s eyes’.
It was prepared to see through only me.
Yes, to put it bluntly… ….
“It wasn’t put there to make Belphegor win in the first place.”
It may be a cruel word to Belphegor, but the great devil who invaded the world in advance was a being with such a purpose in the first place. Not really surprising.
Then, if you think that the Demon God sent Belphegor to find out about me, he has already achieved his intended purpose.
perhaps….
You may have already realized that I have ‘regressed’.
It’s strange that the Demon God doesn’t notice that even Asar’s reappearance noticed right away.
If that’s the case, then I should also speed up a little more.
Anyway, there was some time left before the other colleagues finished their training under Solomon’s guidance.
“…I made other preparations, but what I need right now is growth.”
Consciousness of divine power, divine power, authority as the apostles’ round table warriors… ….
A lot has been gained since then.
However, if there is still something decisively lacking in me.
‘circle.’
I haven’t reached the 9th circle yet. Of course, now it was at the level of reaching the 9th circle at any time.
My level has already risen enough to reach the 9th circle.
If so, why not form the ninth ring right away, even though it is possible?
The reason is simple.
‘I came this far, is there any reason to conclude the 9th circle in the same way as before returning?’
He gained a godhood and additionally acquired other knowledge appropriate to it.
To put it bluntly, the 9 circles I had prior to the regression feel ineffective.
It will take some time to sort it out, but it will be better in the long run than concluding the 9th circle in the same way as before the return.
“…If that’s the case, isn’t there anything else out there?”
I immediately thought of that damn tower that popped into my head.
mage tower.
Excluding our family, the wizard group that eats the most on the continent.
Coincidentally, there is the ‘material’ that I need to climb to the 9th circle.
furthermore.
‘There are graves, too.’
yes that is the most important
The Mage’s Tower is the best place to achieve the goals of ‘9th circle’ and ‘tombstone’.
…It’s a problem that the old people over there don’t listen to you.
* * *
– Contractor Sorry for the delay.
The first to return was Wise.
The guy came next to me with a nonchalant expression and said.
– Looks like the contractor finished it with no help from me. have no face
“Were you satisfied?”
– It wasn’t bad.
The conversation between me and Weiss felt a bit out of place somewhere, but it didn’t really matter.
Wise is as usual.
It doesn’t seem like you’ve met a special person or had a special conversation.
Just the atmosphere of the guy I saw recently.
just what to say
Somehow, I felt satisfied. then it would have been
– Contractors.
“why.”
– You will have to work diligently in the future. whether you want it or not
“Is that because of the memories of < Longinus > that you ate?”
In fact, I already guessed that it wasn’t entirely because of him.
Whatever.
– Yes.
Let’s put it that way for now.
Wise wants it, and I don’t have to meddle with it.
just what to say
“Let’s open up and talk for a while. As a contractual relationship.”
– Uh uh… ….
At least for now, Weiss won’t tell me what happened in the pseudoworld.
don’t know when to say
But if you think there’s a ‘need to’, you’ll tell me.
You just have to talk then.
At least it’s never too late, if not sooner.
– …I get it.
At my words, Wise finally nodded.
yeah that’s enough
After the conversation with Wise, I simply used magic to clean up the surroundings.
During the battle with Belphegor, the whole area hadn’t been shattered, so he thought it would be right to organize it to some extent.
not so much
Hoo-wook.
At the same time, Set and the twins also came out of the pseudo world.
[…] ….]
“Ugh ah….”
All three of them have a bewitched expression.
“Have you had a good conversation?”
[uh…Yes.]
Set nodded blankly at my words with an expression that contained all sorts of emotions.
Of course, I don’t know what kind of conversation these three had with Asar.
However, judging from the rough atmosphere, it must have helped to organize my mind in some way.
“So what is the conclusion?”
“With a global perspective….”
“I decided to reconcile….”
The twins whimpered in reply.
“…Joe isn’t good anyway. The one-sided resentment until now… …Of course, I didn’t completely forgive you!”
“huh! huh! A grand vision!”
“…Is that so?”
I haven’t completely forgiven you roughly, but I’ve heard something, so I’ll cooperate.
“And I will definitely cooperate with you, the hero this time! I like that!”
“Because he said you have ‘possibility’!”
The two of them reached out their hands towards me.
Then, at that moment, a bright light flowed from the two and soon merged into one.
Fire!
And the moment that light dwelled in me, warmth enveloped my whole body and filled me with a sense of fulfillment.
Now, there are a total of eight new species.
‘Are there five left?’
Gradually, rather than caring about the characteristics of each god, I began to anticipate what would happen when all of these gods dwelled in me.
um wait
“By the way, can only I use sacred objects?”
“Yes?”
Lehet tilted his head.
“Isn’t it? If you want to ‘hand it over’ for a while, you can give it to the right person.”
“Hoo.”
In other words, I don’t necessarily have to use the divine object alone.
The ownership of the sacred object itself resides with me, but if I can lend the ‘right to use’ to others… ….
‘…There’s room to use this as well.’
In the first place, I can’t solve everything alone.
There must be a way to enable grown-up comrades to use the divine power.
Doing so will broaden your available plans.
“Okay then.”
The twins are pretty much settled.
It doesn’t seem like the feelings towards the set have been sorted out at all, but at least the hatred has been noticeably diluted.
Should I say that time has weakened to a level where it can be solved?
So now for the set… ….
“set?”
[Ah oh…Yes.]
At my words, Set nodded with a puzzled expression.
[Should I just say a little bit. I’ll organize… …I need it.]
“Is that so?”
[I can reveal anything about the conversation I had with him if need be. I had no intention of keeping it by myself anyway.]
“No, there is no need for that.”
Set’s conversations with Asar are her own.
I have no right or reason to know about it.
I don’t know if there was a way to directly defeat the Demon God, or if there was something directly related to that in the conversation… ….
‘That’s probably not it.’
Somehow I thought it would be so.
Perhaps it has something to do with the mental burden that Set has been carrying all along.
The only thing I need to know is this.
“I only need one answer.”
[If the answer is….]
“Are your worries resolved?”
[Ah.]
At my words, Set looked at me and the twins alternately for a moment, and then.
[…] …Yes.]
He replied with a faint smile.
* * *
said the God who is no longer there.
“Are you still afraid of losing?”
“that.”
At those words, the girl pondered for a moment.
how to answer
She has already made the wrong choice once because of her excessive fear of loss.
It is true that her defection did not directly affect Shin’s death, but it did.
Yes because of the loss.
perhaps…Fearing it may still not have changed.
Seeing such a girl, Shin smiled bitterly.
“At that time, it wasn’t just out of a sense of loss that you sympathized with him. you…I didn’t think my plan was right.”
“….”
“The situation itself in which I gave up my immortality must have been hateful. I understand your heart. It is a natural feeling.”
“that….”
I don’t know. As a result, her choice brought about the worst possible outcome.
Even if it’s understandable, even if it’s natural… ….
Are these emotions acceptable?
own sins… ….
“Keep thinking. It may sound cruel, but I can’t give you the right answer.”
“…yes.”
“In the end, the only person who can save you is yourself. You have to realize yourself and forgive yourself.”
And perhaps the ‘trigger’ would not be himself.
Asar said.
“You now have that child. He reached out to you and you caught it.”
“….”
The girl briefly remembered her first meeting with Mikhail.
He was always full of confidence, and I thought he was a young man with a rather peculiar corner.
she was saved
I had never thought that Mikhail would solve the situation so brilliantly as he is now.
But Mikhail did it.
Then, someday about yourself… …can you save me
If it’s Mikhail… ….
“ah.”
At that moment, Set realized that he was laughing a little.
Asar looked at her quietly with an understanding expression.
That gaze is both happy and sad.
She smiled and cried.
“thanks…do.”
okay.
Be it a human or an angel… …After all, moving forward is life.
