What you can’t choose (4)
At the Creas Defense Force infirmary, Alpheas underwent precision surgery to replace bone fragments.
Aside from Alpheas, many wounded soldiers were bleeding and groaning in pain.
“Hmm.”
These people saved their lives with recovery magic, but suffered serious functional damage to their bodies.
Lilia asked.
“Shirone, can’t you do something?”
“Nothing is impossible in quantum phenomena, but curing someone is an ambiguous problem. “Hexa’s ability is when two people’s perceptions of one world clash.”
Sirone turned around.
“I usually win. You can’t break me, who feels the world based on my 11 senses. But what about someone else’s body or a common thought recognized by everyone? “For example, if we were to suddenly ask the sun to disappear, it would probably be difficult.”
Dante said.
“Because everyone thinks it’s impossible
.”
“okay. If it were me, I would destroy the sun with greater power, but my heart is different from the law. The Miracle Stream could take your life. Because death is a natural perception. But I can’t make you a woman. “Because it is a conviction that transcends the five senses.”
“Hmm, it’s a skill of the mind.” Sirone took out a ballpoint pen.
“The basis of Hexa is a perfect state of mind. For example, if I recognize that this ballpoint pen does not exist…
the ballpoint pen has disappeared.
“It really doesn’t exist. It also means that my perception has overwhelmed you. But if you can create the same state of mind as me, you can too.”
When Sirone handed him a ballpoint pen, Dante took it and looked at it intently.
‘Ballpoint pens do not exist.’
He tried his best to erase it, but the ballpoint pen was still imprinted in his hand and in his eyes.
“…I understand. No matter what method you use, a perfect state of mind cannot be created. “You can’t block out suspicion unless you know what the condition is.”
Sirone nodded.
“It’s the limit of perception. People in particular are incredibly confident in their bodies. Regenerating an amputated leg is something that can never be accomplished from their perspective. No matter how desperate you are.”
“What if you truly believe it?”
Eden asked.
“What if someone believed in the power of the mind at the same level as common sense? “Can you treat me then?”
“Then nothing is impossible.”
Sirone smiled.
“But if it were that easy, we wouldn’t be fighting so hard. Legal treatment is the most convenient way to fix the principal’s knee. There is no need to solve simple quadratic equations with algebra.”
While Dante and Eden Lyria tested quantum phenomena by passing ballpoint pens to each other, Sirone examined the scenery of the infirmary and headed toward the door.
Dante followed.
“Where are you going?”
All the demons in Creas City had been wiped out, and refugees had also joined the city.
“Anywhere. “There are soldiers here and people who share the pain, but there are also places where that is not the case.”
“Can’t we just do quantum transfer?”
“Simultaneous events are like a kind of paving stone. When two me recognize each other, one disappears. “If we had five senses, we wouldn’t be able to recognize each other even if there was just a wall between us, but I have 11 senses.”
Dante kept his mouth shut.
“Quantum is a phenomenon originally created to build a system on a cosmic scale. I feel like space and time are too narrow to be used on a planet. “If two people pass by at a distance of several tens of kilometers, this is the equivalent of normal humans just barely passing each other.” Shirone slowly crossed his fists together, almost as if they were sticking together.
“No need to make it complicated.] You shouldn’t be aware that there is another me in a certain space. But what happens if a fierce battle breaks out in one space? “I will maximize my senses to fight.”
Sirone spread his right hand and covered his left fist.
“In this case, the self that I recognized first becomes the real me, and all that remains of me becomes empty. “If you are carrying out an important mission, there is bound to be a setback.”
“Right.”
“I want to move as organically as possible within my control. There are many villages on the outskirts of Creas, so I’m thinking of going there. “In the meantime, I have a favor to ask.”
“Don’t worry about that. But… Dante’s expression, who nodded willingly,
became serious.
“When will it come? “Emotional illness.”
This was the reason why Sirone and his party could not smile comfortably even though they achieved a small victory.
“Within 24 hours.”
Sirone slowly turned around.
“You have to prepare, Dante. We will all see a different world than before. Guard your
heart. And…
this is what I wanted to say.
“Save yourself.”
Kingdom of Pesia.
It was around 2 a.m. when the remnants of the demons invaded the kingdom south of Tormia.
As it was one of the poorest countries in the southern continent, there were insufficient materials and manpower to stop the demons.
At around 4:00 AM, the demons that had penetrated the capital spread out radially, slaughtering every human being they could see.
The port city of Berry Kent.
Thick blood seeped into the veins of Pecia, where a population of 200,000 lives.
“Aaaah! “Save people!”
The demons who took control of Berry Kent were an army led by Brigadier General Dela under the 6th Corps.
Della, the devil of delusion, looked like a slender girl with black hair hanging down to her shoulders.
However, his true colors were the worst of evils, playing with human emotions like toys.
“Please save me. “Please, please, save me.”
About 100 people who ran down the alley and entered the dock knelt down and prayed.
Men, women, old people and children.
While searching for a target, she spotted a sturdy man glaring in her direction.
Having fought against the sea all his life, he displayed a clear belligerence unlike other people.
Della asked in the language of the other world.
“You don’t like me?”
The Majin language felt like tearing dozens of sheets of paper at the same time.
“What are you talking about, you dirty devil
!”
Although he fired hard, the man also knew that he had no chance of winning in the fight against the demons.
‘They look for an opportunity and jump into the sea.’
Since the sun has not yet risen, you may be able to save your life by diving under the water and hiding in the ship.
“Looking at you, it looks like you’re the boss. Let’s give it a try. “If I beat you, how about you let me go?”
Della thought for a moment and nodded.
“good.”
The man was displeased because it was a human language and the voice was surprisingly beautiful.
‘Pretend to fight and fall to the side.’
The distance to the water is 20 meters.
It was a distance that a demon could catch up with in one second, but if they avoided the blow, the story would be different.
‘It can be avoided. It can’t be avoided…
Like a revelation, sparks flew from his brain and the man blocked his thoughts and took off.
don’t look back
While still breathing, he threw himself off by instinct and rolled around on the floor.
‘I play here.’
I saw a black sea.
As the man entered the water with a splashing sound, the people who were captured let out exclamations.
“ah??????
It contains both jealousy for life and despair that one will die.
“It’s not human, but it’s a humane choice.”
Della looked back at the people.
“One person ran away, so you will have to pay for that crime. Before that… is there anyone else up for the challenge?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who could run at full speed raised their hands.
Della giggled.
“Okay, I’ll give you a chance. From you there. Step back into the sea. “For every step you take, I will kill one person.”
The man who was called got up immediately, but his face hardened when he heard what followed.
“That…
“What’s wrong? You were going to abandon everything and run away anyway, right? If you’re going to do it, do it confidently. “Start.”
Numerous gazes were pressing on the man.
“If you don’t like it, order someone else to do it?”
Without even having time to make a decision, his feet moved back on their own and took a step.
“For now, just one person.”
Della swung her hand and knocked the old man’s head off.
“Ouch!”
The woman screamed, but she was hit again by Della’s blow and her torso was pierced.
“Even those who cry die. “Now go on.”
“Hmm,”
the man cried, and Della even designated someone to show him.
It was a child.
“Now, let’s kill him this time. Why are you telling me to run away? Or do you want to come back? Would you rather wait for someone else to kill you?”
“Please save me. Please… The more the man ejaculated, the more ecstatic Della’s expression became.
“walk. Or should I trade you with this kid? “This kid will run away whether you die or not.”
Blood rose in the eyes of those who lowered their heads.
‘It’s the devil! devil!’
And among those people was Etela, who was once full of good will.
There was still a spark of goodness left, but it was only a weak emotion, like burned out charcoal.
‘What can I change?’ While in hiding, she went down to the end of the abyss, where a human can fall.
‘They’ll all die anyway.’
The evil spirit is coming.
The worst human ever to roam the planet, following only her scent, is coming.
Della shouted.
“good! “Then let’s give this kid a chance!”
“Ugh!”
As the man with his eyes tightly closed took a step back, Della’s hand went up.
“Ho ho ho! I knew it!”
Just as the child was about to split his head with a water pipe, a scream was heard from the other side of the dock.
“Kaaaa!”
It was the scream of a demon.
“what?”
Turning her head, Della’s eyes widened and she saw numerous subordinates falling in her field of vision.
Hundreds of fountains of blood were gushing out of the backlit shadows.
“Sniff. “Sniff.”
The sound of sniffing like a dog.
Then there was the sound of metal crashing and the sound of something heavy dragging across the floor.
“…Here.”
I saw the silhouette of a man pulling a bundle as big as a carriage with one hand.
It was Chagall of the rapid-fire sword.
When Hong was broken by an uninvited guest, Della frowned and gave instructions.
“What are you doing? “Go and kill him.”
At the same time as the demons rushed in, Chagall’s arms disappeared with the sound of flapping bee wings.
“Kaaaa!”
The unique structure of the quick-fire sword. Dozens of blade shells rushed in and became embedded in the bodies of the demons.
The murky blood of the demons burst out like a fountain through the hole of the blade that had completely penetrated.
“ah??????
The appearance of a cilantro that was not found in the Kingdom of Pesia filled people’s eyes with hope.
“Please save me!”
As one woman ran, everyone who gained courage got up and ran to Chagall.
“Save me! Those bad demons… Ugh!”
A rapid-fire sword was inserted into the man’s neck, and the slaughter began before he could even scream.
Della watched with a blank expression.
“…What is that?”
It was not human, it was inhumane.
