The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 316
“Now try it. I believe.”
“I believe….”
Viscount Gala followed my words with a bewildered expression.
What is faith and evangelism?
What is it?
First of all, the high-ranking people have to be captured first so that it flows downwards as well.
I guess it’s kind of like a trickle-down effect.
[That’s not a word for that, you madman.]
“Hmm, whatever.”
I clicked my tongue as I looked at the blood giant lying on the ground.
Originally, this is an existence that would not come out under ‘normal circumstances’.
The Blood Giant was a monster that only appeared when the world was in chaos due to the intervention of demons before returning.
I intervened just in time, and if it hadn’t been for nothing, this city would have suffered a considerable blow.
‘Where the family’s influence reaches, the level will never be low… ….’
The fact that these things are starting to appear in such a city means that the demons are breaking down the ‘vigilance’.
Even if you don’t want to, you have to be aware.
That the Demon God is clearly influencing this world.
“At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before all the monarchs under the Demon God descend. But since you’ve prepared your defenses well, should I consider it okay?”
“No, it’s not okay at all.”
I firmly responded to Remegeton’s words.
Are you well-prepared? There’s no way you can say it’s okay with those words. There is no difference in the value of human life.
It should not be taken for granted that any life is sacrificed.
Of course, being too immersed in saving lives and failing to see the big picture is definitely a problem… ….
‘But taking an overly arithmetic approach is also a problem.’
It is difficult to keep this boundary.
But you have to.
You should aim for the best you can.
Even if the result is only suboptimal.
“Viscount Gala.”
“You say yes.”
“I’ll teach you some of the barrier ceremonies, so change them all, even if it’s a little overbearing. Judging from the outside, he was still wearing the old one.”
“…All right.”
Viscount Galah did not offer excuses such as impossibility.
Of course, I’m not saying do the impossible.
It is not easy to replace the barriers of a large city with a completely new one without repair, but it is by no means impossible.
Viscount Gala would know that too.
The possibility of seeing more blood after calculating profit and loss for nothing.
Then, here it is… ….
The real purpose of being here.
“Has Viscount Gala been around lately?”
“well. Except for the one I just had… …ah! I guess there is one. Recently, testimonies of seeing unidentified visions from the outside have increased.”
“…fantasy?”
“Yes, it’s unusual to say that everyone saw the same content…. An old man said he saw it.”
“What is your exact appearance?”
“well. It hasn’t been reported accurately until now, but… …It seems that there was talk that the old man was wearing priestly clothes.”
With a strange nuance, the viscount continued his words.
“Attire?”
“That is a bit peculiar. All eyewitnesses’ testimonies are the same. They said it was a pattern that no church had seen before.”
A pattern that cannot be seen in any existing church.
Just in case, I asked one more time.
“Have you heard what it looks like?”
“Um, first…What was heard in common was that they took on a wave-like shape.”
…wave.
At that moment, Set spoke to me with sharp eyes.
[It is his symbol.]
Asar had as many kinds of ‘symbols’ as he had many apostles.
Is the wave also one of those symbols?
“I understand.”
If Set said so, it must be true.
He never lies about ‘Asar’.
“…Do you understand?”
“No, I’m just talking to myself. Rather, do what I entrusted to you.”
As I was about to leave, the Viscount hurriedly shouted,
“Wait a minute! But I’m in charge here, and you have to tell me what’s going on! Is there something wrong around here?!”
“No problem.”
“…Really?”
The viscount looked at me with a desperate expression.
Apparently, there was a lot of anxiety because of the appearance of the Blood Giant.
Of course, it’s not without possibility.
That’s why I’m saying to reconstruct all the city’s defense barriers in case of an unexpected situation.
“But just in case, it doesn’t matter if half of the forest outside the city is blown away, right?”
“…yes?”
Hearing those words, the viscount’s face was dripping with sweat.
* * *
[Call it Shabti.]
The road to the forest Set explained about the apostle this time.
“…Shabti?”
[Yes, he is the most mentally mature among us.]
The most mature among the apostles.
“As for Apophis….
[Yes, he is also very thoughtful. But in the case of Apophis, isn’t that what he was ‘born’ in the first place?]
“Well, that’s how it is.”
The existence of a dragon was created to protect the world from birth.
Absolutely superior in every way.
Apophis was the one with the most outstanding ego and ability among those dragons.
“Wait a minute, that shabuti was originally….”
[He was human. No, what should I say before that… ….]
Set continued with a bitter voice.
[…] …I was a slave.]
“A slave?”
[Yes slave. Of course, even so, it seems that he was smart and didn’t go through such a harsh thing.]
I frowned at those words.
“Wait a minute, wasn’t the world peaceful and prosperous when Asar existed as a god? Like a slave… ….”
“There was.”
The answer was Remegeton.
“In the first place, there were many irrationalities until that era of peace was achieved. Apostle Shabti… …It was one of those ‘absurdities’.”
[It’s as the book says.]
Set received Remegeton’s words with a bitter expression.
[The apostles are all beings who were born in their own ‘irrationality’. That’s why we swore allegiance to Asar who saved us.]
“…Hmm.”
[Anyway, it was. Shabti was an old apostle, and he was thoughtful and wise to match.]
“That was….
[Shabti was definitely a good apostle. But what can I say? Shall we say that he was not good at facing his mistakes?]
“…hmm?”
[therefore….]
Set let out a small sigh.
[We belatedly realized that the existence of Solomon was also one of his arrangements, right?]
“It was.”
[In other words, the beings called apostles who serve God voluntarily buried His will. And um… ….]
Set hesitated.
However, he continued to say whether he judged it to be ‘necessary information’.
[Shabti is…He was the one who rejected Solomon the most at the time.]
“I understand.”
Did Asar’s death cause even the thoughtful apostle to lose his temper?
[Isn’t that Shah Savti particularly bad or something? At that time, except for Ammut, who was just sleeping alone, it was a time when rational judgment was difficult.]
“I know what you mean.”
It’s not that either side is at fault, it’s just everyone’s problem.
However, each of the apostles had some who overcame it and some who did not.
“Shabti couldn’t stand it.”
[Yes…. After that day, I cried out that I had trampled on his hopes with my own hands. really…To the point where we couldn’t stop it somehow.]
‘They rejected Solomon… ….’
I looked at Weiss without a word.
– ….
The guy still has no words.
As if it had nothing to do with him, he just looked straight ahead.
It doesn’t matter.
“You’ll know when you go.”
No matter what kind of apostle this time, it doesn’t change that he has to pass the trials and obtain the divine object.
I’m just breaking through
Before we knew it, we were in front of the forest, the source of the rumor.
Sure, but nothing special.
Isn’t it a forest that the locals can access in the first place?
Even if there weren’t many people coming and going, there wouldn’t even be those ‘people coming and going’ if it was dangerous anyway.
Remegeton, who saw that, said.
“It doesn’t look like much from the outside.”
“Yes, apparently.”
Even a light walk won’t be difficult.
I checked the entire forest lightly, but I didn’t see any monsters or anything like that.
That is, it is just a forest.
It’s a forest where local residents gather herbs in moderation or it’s not strange to take a walk.
but.
“…hmm.”
[Did you find something?]
“Nothing special.”
Simply answering Set’s words, he lightly swept the traces on the ground.
invisible to ordinary people
But it was visible in my eyes.
“…Proof that time and space have gone bad?”
[Eek.]
At my words, Set made a strange noise with his mouth open.
* * *
Time and space have gone to taste.
Simply put… …what should i say about this
Why is there such a story in fairy tales?
Clothes that are only visible to good people.
The gap between space and time is a ‘phenomenon’ that can only be seen by those who can recognize it.
It has no effect and is invisible to the average person.
But to those who can see through these phenomena, all of this seems unstable and precarious.
‘…repeat?’
The first thing I felt was that much.
Numerous ‘landscapes’ were seen overlapping around him.
Generally similar, but slightly different landscapes continue to pass by like afterimages.
‘The other guys don’t seem to see this… ….’
I’ve already experienced the miracle of regression once, so I noticed it, and it’s not a phenomenon that even the apostles can easily detect.
[then…What are you going to do?]
“What should I do? I have to go in.”
In order to pass the ordeal anyway, you have to enter this repeated gap.
Exactly what situation repeats why… ….
First of all, you need to know them so that you can solve them.
[…] …How?]
Well that’s simple.
“First, check the cracks in space. It’s not easy, but it’s not difficult for me to tell them apart.”
[Um, and?]
“If you’ve confirmed that….
At the end of the staff, he pulled his arms as hard as he could with his godhood.
and.
“Crush!”
Wedge!
The staff was swung towards the ‘cracks’ created in time and space… ….
Clink!
With a sharp rupture, the path to the ‘grave’, which would be repeating beyond, opened.
[Uh uh…?]
Now everyone could see beyond.
Between the usual peaceful scenery of the forest, there was a space large enough for one person to enter.
And between them, a landscape completely different from the forest was reflected.
[This…]
“That must be the entrance to the tomb. Perhaps the scenery seen between these… …past? It’s kind of like the Age of Mythology.”
Just looking at it, it looks like that at a glance. It’s not easy to see such a clear divine power.
“Then where….
Shall we go inside?
Without hesitation, I threw myself toward the entrance.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery completely changed.
‘As expected, it’s the past.’
But it’s not quite the same.
Strictly speaking, this could be called a gigantic fantasy. As an analogy, would it be an illusion that endlessly repeats the same scene?
It’s great that this fantasy is maintained even after a long time, but… ….
Whatever.
“Then, first of all, I need to know exactly when and how to test me with this….
The moment I turned my head thinking that way.
“…hmm?”
Set was rolling on the ground, literally ‘crawling’ on the ground with a dying face.
why is he doing this again?
“Hey, what are you… ….
[Michael I’m here….]
At that time, I turned my head slightly at the voice I heard from my shoulder. Then there was a set there too.
A little look I remember.
“….”
I turned my gaze back to the set I had just seen.
There was still a set rolling around on the ground like a looper on the street somewhere.
There are two sets. This is the past.
If so… ….
“…Um, I understand.”
yes i understand
“I am…In the looper… ….”
In the past and today, Apostle Set is working diligently to produce dark history in real time and is engrossed in shoveling.
Thank you for your hard work.
