Tormian capital of Crete.
The screams that had been heard all over the capital last night quieted down only around dawn.
Miro took in the pale dawn scenery from the highest watchtower.
‘I guess he found his own way.’
Because lazy humans cannot exist in the face of pain.
“ha.”
Miro was like that too.
There was nothing precious to her as she sealed her heart to protect goodness.
The only way is to accept the pain.
‘It’s painful.’
It felt like there was a blade mixed in my veins.
I was afraid to even breathe because it felt like my organs were being torn apart every time air came in.
‘I wish time would stop.’
Who can dream of a hopeful future in a life where every moment is painful?
‘You have to endure it.’
At least Gaold did, so she clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
“Ugh!”
As signals of pain pierced my brain, Gaold’s voice was heard from the watchtower’s door.
“At first…
he stood side by side with the maze and opened his mouth, looking down at the cityscape.
“I’m angry. When I get too angry, I try to fight the pain. Picking and aching the wound. But how long can that happen? In the end, it is you who is hurting.”
Before I became emotionally ill, I thought all I had to do was endure the pain.
‘That’s not what pain is.’
Any terrible pain can be endured if you have the hope that it will one day go away.
‘True pain…
is the fact that it never ends.
‘Can I endure it? ‘Will I be able to fight until the end without giving in to the pain?’
Like Gaold.
‘Stupid bastard. How…how can you live like this?’
I thought I understood all human emotions on my journey to the state of extreme goodness.
How arrogant.
‘Humans should not speak carelessly about things they have not experienced.’
I thought I knew Gaold’s pain.
It must be so hard that you die. It must hurt tens of thousands of times more than if my hand was cut.
That would be really terrible.
‘…’
I should have been silent.
At least I shouldn’t have made any judgments about his pain.
Gaold asked.
“Are you really going?”
There is no way to survive in the spirit of Ymir, where 10 billion Gaians are united.
“If you’re thinking of paying with your life to go sightseeing, I won’t stop you, but…
“No.”
Miro shook his head.
“I don’t care how the spirit came to be. “It is just what is needed to eliminate evil.”
“What are you going to do? “You don’t really think you can do it, do you?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
Miro looked at Gaold and smiled.
“You have to find a way.” “Find it. Whether it’s chasing me and protecting me, fighting the enemy, or beating up Ymir, you have to figure it out. “I have to somehow get the Ultima System into my hands.”
“I won’t… say I don’t like it. But what if you can’t? “Some things are impossible.”
“okay?”
Miro grabbed Gaold’s collar with both hands.
“Then I die. See what I mean? It means I can’t be happy. Do you want to die in pain?”
Gaold’s expression did not change even as he received Maze’s evil gaze.
“ha.”
Miro sighed and placed his forehead against Gaold’s chest.
“Do you know what makes me the most angry?”
“What?”
“That you are stronger than me. You may be annoying and annoying, but you still have value, so I can’t chase you away. “That makes me so angry.”
“…I’ll try my best.”
Miro raised his head.
“Let’s go in together, in the spirit of Ymir. “I will come up with a means, so you don’t worry about your emotional illness.”
Gaold thought simply.
All you need to do is increase your sense of pain to a much greater extent than you can imagine now.
“I’m going to talk to Sirone.”
As Gaold tried to leave the watchtower, Miro, who was watching his back, opened his mouth.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
Gaold stopped in front of the door.
“Why do you like me?”
When he tilted his head as if he hadn’t expected it, Miro asked sharply.
“Am I that pretty? Do you have a good body? Or is it just ogi? “I always give you a hard time.”
“And you?”
With an absurd smile on his face, as if he wanted to hear everything, he pulled the doorknob and said.
“Why do you hate me?”
Even after Gaold went down the stairs, Miro was lost in thought for a long time.
She also couldn’t say anything.
Samgeori, 32 kilometers from Baska.
The two-headed carriage stopped and Iruki and Nade, carrying large suitcases, got out.
“It’s here, right?”
Iruki checked the sign.
“Yes, a turning point in the journey. Did we arrive quickly?”
Just as they were about to check the time, the smoke of the Miracle Stream condensed in front of their eyes.
“Sirone!”
Sirone, who appeared before their eyes through quantum transmission, smiled and raised his hand.
“Did you wait long?”
Nade said.
“no. We just arrived too. But what about the carriage? Should I leave it here?”
It was time to prepare our posture for two days and begin the mission in earnest.
Iruki and Nade were planning to follow Sirone on a pilgrimage around the world and spread the Ultima System.
“It would be a good idea since we will be revolving around Oji. And I’m sorry. “Actually, Dorothy and Liz, it’s okay if we go together.”
Iruki shook his head.
“There is a severe lack of manpower in the capital. In times like this, you need to draw on connections you don’t have. “Dorothy said she was bringing an excavation team.”
Nade said.
“Liz will also join the pony side. “All matters related to the elemental bomb manufacturing plant have been handed over.”
If it leads to friends of friends and friends of friends, where on earth is the enemy?
Nade asked, estimating the weight of the backpack on his shoulders.
“Then where should we start?”
Although Sirone had mastered all of the world’s geography through Omega, the aftermath of the war was unknown.
“How about something like this?”
Iruki unfolded the world map in his head that he had saved since his days as the Valkyrie General.
“If I were to explain my map, all the places where Hell’s armies passed were lit up. The dark areas are sparse like islands. “I think we can move to that place as a point.”
“aha. “Then where is the closest place?”
“O”
When I enlarged the world map in my mind, thousands of place names within the radius came to mind.
“Borshua region.”
Sirone nodded.
“It’s the Kingdom of Across.”
It was a country with a long coastline and a border with Tormia to the north.
“It was almost destroyed by war, but it doesn’t seem like there was much damage near the beach. “Let’s go there first.”
Nade asked.
“But what about emotional illness? “Right now I’m buying time with Sirone’s abilities, but I won’t be able to handle it later.”
“I guess there is no turning back. If Sirone and Lee An purify the world, it will be resolved. If it’s impossible… Iruki shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s the same anyway, right? “The world is ending.”
“Of course it is. “What I’m worried about is that we become incurable before the underworld is purified.”
The pain threshold is constantly increasing, and in order to calm it down, Hexa’s power must continue to grow stronger.
Sirone said.
“It’s bad if your ability to act declines at a critical moment. But this is the best. According to Seriel’s words…
Sirone just relayed to them the information he had received from the World Health Organization.
“It seems that emotional illness can be transmitted through the human body. Emotional illnesses have been found in areas that differ from the wind direction. “It was confirmed by the World Climate Organization.”
Iruki’s expression became serious.
“Hmm, then the propagation speed must be faster than expected. There will be people who give up their hometown to ease the pain. “Materially, you are giving up your biggest piece of real estate, your home.”
“huh. Pony has taken emergency quarantine measures, but it is impossible to prevent the soldiers from leaving as they are infected. That’s why I made the decision. “People performing core missions try to increase their incubation period using Hexa’s abilities.”
Since they were a community with the same destiny, Iruki and Nade also accepted the opinion obediently.
“I understand. “Then let’s go.”
Although the world is heading toward destruction day by day, the hearts of the three people are a little excited.
Nade said.
“Now that I think about it, this is my first trip since graduating. We promised a long time ago that we would be together even when we go out into society. “Finally, my dream has come true.”
“It’s because I have free time. “Was being unemployed a dream?”
Nade
pointed a finger at Iruki’s words.
“That’s because he’s a bitch too! Just hope your emotions get better. “It will make a lot of money.”
“haha!”
While listening to the two people bickering, Sirone burst into laughter for the first time in a long time.
‘Okay, this is where we start.’ I hope everyone can smile.
“Sirone.”
Miro came into the room.
“What’s going on?” The atmosphere in the royal castle could be said to be heavy as Rian would soon have to leave for the underworld.
“interview. “Did you hear what Gaold said?”
“yes. We decided to go to Drimo together. “We’ll leave as soon as Lian’s work is done.”
“huh. Before that, I have something I want to tell you. “I can tell you this at any time, but once I enter Mir’s spirit, I want to focus only on the mission.”
It seemed like he was trying to give me homework.
“Say yes.”
“I mean Habitz.”
Miro’s eyes lit up.
“I gained a lot of information while attempting to assassinate Havitz this time. I’m sure he’s the most dangerous person. “If the circumstances are right, you could even kill Buddha.”
Sirone was just listening.
“Quan, who attacked Habitz while listening to God’s frequency, expressed the situation at the time like this. It was shameful. “I felt like a child with delusions.”
“okay.”
I fully understood Kuan’s feelings.
“But Habitz definitely exists. There were definitely moments when both Mei Lei and Lian felt something. Therefore, the problem is not that it is a delusion, but that we dismiss it as a delusion.”
“The limits of perception.”
“okay. The barrier of quantum phenomena you mentioned. If the human mind defines everything, vanishing is the exact opposite. “Havitz is in an area where nothing should be defined.”
“So to speak… purity?” Miro clicked his fingers.
“That’s right. Pure existence. In other words, wouldn’t a child who has just opened his eyes and accepted the world without any preconceptions be able to see Habitz?”
“Hmm.”
Sirone rested his chin.
“Maybe, no, you can definitely see it. Because…
two people spoke at the same time.
“Because even if you see it, you’re not seeing it.” Miro nodded.
“That kid can see Havitz. That’s because I don’t even know what form Havitz is. “You just absorb all the signals that your optic nerve catches, without any preconceptions.”
“…not invincible.”
Sirone, who was lost in thought, spoke.
“But isn’t it the same? “How can I get help from a toddler who doesn’t even know what Habitz is?”
“There is one person.”
Sirone’s eyes widened.
“He may not be perfect, but he’s still close. No, that kid could kill Habitz.”
“Who is that…?”
Miro said, raising his index finger.
“Wena Wizard.”
It was a name that was listed as 6th in the list of candidates for the Ivory Tower along with Nane Jinseongeum Sirone.
