The great mage who transcends by return Chapter 324
To all the apostles who make up the round table, Solomon was a mistake itself.
They, who should have been the most rational, erred the cause more than anyone else by being swayed by emotions… ….
And among them, Shabti was strongly influenced by that emotion.
‘There must not have been a complete settlement.’
Solomon found Shabti at the last moment.
I can’t be sure because I haven’t seen that time, but there must have been a compromise between each other to some extent.
Even if it’s not forgiveness, I think the relationship wouldn’t have improved to the extent of tolerance.
But that much in the end.
The conflict between the two has been temporarily prevented, but it has never healed.
It is an unstable state that can explode at any time.
That doesn’t work. There shouldn’t be any discord among allies, even if it’s to settle things in the future.
“each other…what?”
“Kill or save.”
Looking at the two of them making absurd expressions, I answered in a nonchalant way.
“So you don’t have any sediment?”
“My face is….”
Shabti struggled to answer while breaking out in a cold sweat.
Do you have a lot of guilt because of what happened in the past?
Well, but that’s your case.
“What do you mean?”
“…yes?”
“No matter how we feel or how Eun-won is, the moment has come when we really have to face the demon. We have to solve it one way or another.”
This is not to say that Solomon, who was unfairly rejected, should be ignored.
“If you really want to atone for the mistakes of the past, you have to accept even that and somehow create a relationship of trust between you.”
“Uh um….”
“Isn’t it a little too irresponsible to not make an effort to improve the situation because you have no face?”
Either from the position of the apostle or from the position of the perpetrator who rejected Solomon.
Then Weiss opened his mouth.
– I don’t intend to make it a thing of the past.
“….”
– I’m not saying that the actions of the round table at that time were right. Because they know best that the decision at that time was neither reasonable nor right.
At those words, Shabti lowered her head with a dark expression.
Of course, Weiss had no intention of quitting.
– The contractor said something like killing each other in a joking tone, but that’s just a joke.
“Does it look like a joke?”
– Look. Our contractor has a great sense of humor enough to say bullshit like that. If you open your mouth, a bunch of dog noises come out.
Wise, who doesn’t feel any reluctance to treat me now.
Ah, I miss the guy before I realized it. How did he turn into such a reactionary molecule?
‘Who will accept… …There is none.’
It was a situation where even Set, who would normally be dead, was staring at Wise while crouching.
Of course, I have no intention of interfering.
just up to here.
The topic was abandoned.
If so, now the two of you will figure it out. Aren’t Wise and Shabti wise enough?
– I will not be angry.
Weiss continued.
– At least now I am ‘Wise’. not the one you know It is a spirit contracted with Mikhail Walpurgis and an assistant to help him against the evil spirits.
“…Uhm.”
-Even if Solomon were here right now, the emotions that had accumulated over the eons of time could not be resolved. Emotions are not so easy to solve.
“understanding…I did.”
Shabti said with difficulty.
The relationship built up between the Round Table and Solomon is not something that can be resolved in an instant.
Even if you regret the past and want to atone for it, it’s the same.
At those words, Shabti’s head bowed even more. No matter what they do, the sins they have committed will not go away.
You just have to endure it and struggle to be forgiven.
But then.
– Once again, I will be ‘Wise’ until I reach my goal. not Solomon.
“That means….”
– I will fully cooperate with the Round Table as a contractor for Mikhail Walpurgis. At least I should focus on that for now.
The conflict has not been completely resolved.
It’s not a conflict that can be easily resolved, so we can’t expect anything to improve right away.
So, Weiss came to his own conclusion.
Wise is here.
At least for now, I will cooperate with the Round Table as ‘Wise’.
“…ah.”
At those words, Shabti’s eyes fluttered. Then he nodded his head with a wry smile.
“Right. Is it ‘Wise’?”
– Yes, Wise.
Weiss simply put an end to the situation.
At least for now, that seems to be enough.
what if… ….
‘The round table and Wise will coordinate the details anyway.’
Now is the time to think about
I said to Shabti, who was silently making a complicated expression.
“Then let’s talk about the current situation. It’s not a good situation.”
“He…Have you descended?”
“Yes, after it had already descended, it swallowed an entire country. Soon the ‘boundary’ that protected the world from the outside will be broken and demons will pour out. It is only a matter of time.”
“To the border….”
Shabti’s face became serious.
You should know how big of a deal it is for ‘boundary’ to be broken.
“Only beings on the same level as demon gods can prevent the boundary from being breached. But not now.”
Asar is no more.
Now humanity must stand up against the malevolent god with its own strength.
What we have to admit is that we cannot block the demon god from collapsing the ‘boundary’ at the source.
What we need to do now is not to move to keep the boundary.
To prepare for and effectively defend against a situation where boundaries are broken and demons overwhelm the world.
“surely…It is clear that this is not a situation to be optimistic about. What do you think, Seth?”
[If it’s a good thing he hasn’t fully regained his strength yet, it’s a good thing. Neither omnipotent nor omnipotent. At this point, he is just a half-god like Mikhail.]
“A half-god… ….”
Shabti’s gaze turned to me.
Before long, a look of surprise came over his face. A strange feeling, as if seeing something that cannot exist.
“…It is not a created being, but a self-created being.”
“Of course, it wasn’t without help. It would have been difficult without Asar’s help.”
“…!”
At my words, Shabti’s eyes widened even more than before.
“Ah, Lord Asar! How could he… ….”
“Of course, it was a recreated being, not the original body. Nevertheless, thanks to that insight and strength, I was aware of my rank.”
“Heh heh….”
Of course, it was not a simple representation.
At that point, you could say it was a ‘part’ of Asar. In the first place, it is strange that they use their common sense as a standard against divine beings.
“That means that Michael is the rightful successor who has been recognized by him. surely…that’s special very much.”
– It’s as you say.
Wise also agreed with Shabti’s words.
– No matter how reproductive it is, in the end it is him. The fact that the contractor was recognized by him meant that he had the qualifications to defeat the Demon God.
“You deserve it….”
I briefly thought of the Demon God who had regained his ‘full power’ before returning.
Of course, I now have power that is incomparable to that time.
It is also possible to try various ‘possibilities’ because what is seen is so different.
can i do it
…No, there is no point in considering the possibility of doing it. Whatever it is, I only have one option.
It’s not about whether you can.
do.
Should be.
This time, I will kill him and open an era where everyone will be free. Once again, he reminded himself of that thought.
But then.
“Can I ask you something?”
Shabti looked at me cautiously and asked. Of course, there was no reason to refuse, so I nodded my head.
After hesitating for a while, he… ….
“Are you thinking of becoming a god?”
he asked with sharp eyes.
[…] …!]
– ….
At those words, Set trembled, and Weiss just quietly waited for my answer.
do you want to be a god
I have already made my own conclusions about him.
Asar also asked.
– Do you want to become a god?
My answer was firm.
I recalled the answer in my head, but I didn’t even worry about it.
“doesn’t exist.”
“then…What would you do if you were in a situation where you could destroy him?”
“….”
The ‘becoming a god’ that Shabti refers to here is not simply about becoming a god through ability.
Even the ‘self’ of the country is changed to fit the divine existence.
Can you think of the same thing after that? Can you truly exist as a human without giving up your current beliefs? ….
Normally, I would have snorted, saying it was not even a funny idea.
But not me.
As a ‘demigod’, he had already reached a certain level of godhood, and he already knew that it might not end at this stage.
maybe…The situation that would arise would have nothing to do with my intentions.
Of course, my answer is fixed.
“Even if that moment comes, nothing will change.”
A problem that has been resolved for a long time.
There may come a time when, as a god, you have to deal with the Demon God.
And if that battle is to be won, all that remains will be God, who was once ‘Michael’.
If so… ….
“There will be no gods.”
No matter what, there will be no god.
Even if it leads to the extinction of my existence.
* * *
Sludge.
Walking through the pools of blood, Shin looked around. Of course, it wasn’t just ‘surrounding’.
God was watching the world.
The world changed while he was away.
A lot of things came into being. Abominable things made against one’s intentions.
When I think of them, a sense of displeasure dominates my whole body.
“Oh God.”
As I was walking, I heard a voice behind me.
When he slowly looked back, the Prime Devil was on his knees, bowing his head.
「What is it?」
“I am ready to break the boundary. Enough sacrifices were gathered and the land was ‘cleansed’… ….”
At that, Shin looked around.
Until recently, the only land he swallowed was a small piece of land floating in the ocean.
However, it did not take long for the area to expand.
It didn’t matter what it was to take it as one’s own.
The blue sea died black in an instant.
Creatures wandering under the sea came to crave blood and death, and coveted the flesh and blood of mankind who dared to invade their territory.
As time passed, Shin realized that he was getting closer to the ‘past’.
It is becoming complete.
“…Hmm.」
He looked at his disciple, who was quietly bowing his head.
This figure where there is only awe and respect for God.
Faithfulness without any doubt.
Isn’t this right?
Of course, that doesn’t mean that my vacancy will be filled.
Kwadeuk.
I simply clasped my hand.
A black aura was in its grasp.
“How many times have you trampled on them?”
“First, they swallowed two small kingdoms inland. It wasn’t difficult to use ‘great power’.”
「They wouldn’t have stood still, but things like empires and religious states.」
“Originally, humans spend a lot of time moving and deciding their own things. It wasn’t hard to dig in between them.”
That’s right.
All of humanity I’ve seen so far has been like that. Before rewinding, it wasn’t much different either.
wormy things.
If it had not been for its intervention, wouldn’t they have settled down without being able to unite?
They really had something called freedom and will, and if that was right, they should have come together naturally.
God said with such thoughts.
「If there are two of us, it is definitely time to break it down.」
Breaking the boundaries.
The time has come to call upon the useful words out there.
God quietly stretched out his hand toward the sky. Then, he grabbed his hand like he was tearing it apart.
It was felt.
The little thing that Hekau struggles to protect this ‘boundary’ from himself somehow.
「It must be desperate.」
However, there was no meaning.
in the past and now.
Since he was born as a ‘god’, the limits of Hekaura’s existence are clear.
“My God, what can I do? Please give me a name.”
「Keep eating them. Continue until they respond.」 It
would be better to expand the area as much as possible until they move in earnest.
“Maybe God….”
“Isn’t there something that needs to be preceded in order to break the boundary?”
A long-standing relationship.
Shin recalled the existence that was waiting for him with a determined expression over there.
“I will finish.”
This time.
Make sure to cut off old ties.
