Chapter 940,
Chapter 233. Play Ayula (2)
.
Unlike Ron, Jin did not know exactly what powers he had gained while climbing the window.
“Play… Are you saying that I have such power?”
“Originally, beings who touch the window immediately realize what the new authority they have acquired is. Your father, Chiron, was like that, and your brother, Van, was like that, and Dante’s grandfather, Jeon Dae Geomwang, was also like that.”
“But unlike them, I don’t come across as clearly. I was definitely stronger than before… and I had a vague feeling that I might be able to repair something broken or injured. However, this is the power of regeneration. It was to the extent that I couldn’t cut it out like that.”
“It would have been inevitable. That’s because the power of regeneration you’ve gained isn’t perfect.”
Ayula gently grabbed a golden aura that hovered near Jin.
“If you weren’t a being with a godhood like me, you wouldn’t have even guessed what kind of power is contained in this aura. You’d think it’s just an aura that creates a special power by mixing aura and magic power. However, this mysterious power has possibilities that no one dares to know its depth and size. Even in an imperfect state…”
“May I ask how you immediately recognized that my powers were imperfect?”
“It is instinct. As soon as I encountered that power, a memory came to my mind. It was the memory of the moment I was created. It must have been the day that was formed from the fragments of Kingelo, the sun god.”
Ayula was convinced.
Jin’s power of regeneration must be the same power that the sun god used to deal with when he was intact. Ayula had never seen the sun god in person, but she was aware of it instinctively.
“The sun god…”
“The authority you obtained is definitely related to that. However, since he is divided into many fragments, he cannot be perfect.”
“Then, in order to perfect Jin’s power, do we have to find and absorb the fragments of the sun god?”
Ayula shook her head at Hedo’s question.
“In the first place, Jin did not gain power by absorbing fragments of the sun god. It was probably expressed at the moment when Jin’s will and the will of the sun god coincided. So I don’t know how to absorb the fragments of the sun god. Maybe it will work…”
Ayula paused for a moment, letting go of the golden aura.
“If you have the power of complete regeneration in that way, can you really call Jin a human? The power of the perfect sun god is the power to reverse all destruction and death with just one’s will. It’s a terrible thing for one person to wield it.”
After hearing the explanation, everyone nodded their heads.
Jin’s goal was to live as a human being, not to become a god who presides over life and death. Jin never wanted to be a god, and he still doesn’t.
“But even so, I said that this power might ease Jin’s anguish a little. I’ll show you why from now on.”
Wooddeuk-!
Suddenly, Ayula ripped off one of her right wings with her hand. The sound of raw flesh being torn and bones being torn shocked the party for a moment.
“Ah, Ayula-sama!?”
“It doesn’t hurt that much, so don’t worry too much. Ugh, it’s going to be hard to rip them all by yourself. help me Don’t cut with a sword. It is also my own atonement.”
As soon as Ayula groaned as she ripped off her second wing, her colleagues compelled to follow her words.
When all ten pairs of wings were ripped off, Ayula’s whole body was stained red with blood. However, the wings placed in front of them were miraculously not stained with a single drop of blood.
“These wings originally belonged to other gods, not mine.”
“It is said to be another god…”
“Numerus, the god of hope. It is his.”
-If any god causes too much chaos in the payroll, Ayula threatens him under the guise of an interview. I even annihilated it once before I was even born. Was the opponent a blessing god?
-okay?
-There was a time when there was talk among dragons that Ayula might have annihilated Numerus, the god of hope. Anyway, it’s an extreme nobleman.
Jin remembered the conversation he had with Murakan during the Seongguk incident.
“Eight drops of tears and one hundred drops of blood. It was known to humans that this was all of the legacy that Numerus had left behind as it perished at my hands. That’s half right. But I kept his wings before I finished off Numerus. The outward appearance is in the form of wings, but this is his will materialized.”
The companions looked at the wings and Ayula on the ground alternately.
“Numerus and I could be called brothers. Born at the same time and from the same shard… each became a god of peace and hope. The relationship was also very good. But why did I destroy him?”
“…I think it is because Numerus intervened too much in royalties.”
“Yes. He loved humans so much. So, through his ability, he used to revive especially the people he loved. Those who should have gone on the path of reincarnation after death or fell to hell continued their lives intact. Among the old myths and legends handed down by you humans, there will often be stories of resurrection. The legends of the period before the founding of Bankela are all true.”
Numerus received Ayula’s wrath just before the founding of Vankela. Until then, Ayula tolerated Numerus’ deviation for quite a long time.
“It was the moment he performed his first mass resurrection that I decided to kill him. Haven’t you heard of the Great Resurrection of the Arlehin Kingdom?”
All of my colleagues nodded. It literally says that everyone in the kingdom was resurrected the day after the kingdom of Arlehin was destroyed by a sudden flood.
“After that incident, I decided that I could no longer leave Numerus alone. So I went to see him, and he, too, knew I was coming. He asked to stop himself. He was going mad for resurrecting people.”
Ayula thus annihilated his brother, the god Numerus.
In the process, his body was broken, and eight drops of tears and a hundred drops of blood were scattered all over the human body.
“But I didn’t just think that his love for humans was unconditionally bad. It’s just that the method was wrong… so he left his will like this in the mind that the day might come when he needs his power. And fortunately, that feeling has come true.”
Ayula looked down at the wings.
“These wings, the will of Numerus, have no power of their own. However, if you combine with the authority you have acquired, you can suspend all the deaths that spread throughout the Holy Kingdom today.”
“Delay postponement…?”
“This means that my children who died at the hands of the demons today will be able to exist in the Holy Land in the form of souls. Until you die, they will be translucent souls with all their memories, just as they were when they were alive. It is not a complete resurrection, but it is a state that is not a complete death either.”
Just like Theben and Zen in the lore of Maliette Hester, the will of Numerus and the power of Jin allowed the subjects of the Holy Land to postpone their deaths like that.
“…You seem to be making a similar choice to Numerus in the past.”
“Yes. But I’m not trying to put my children’s deaths on hold for my own happiness. it’s a choice for you Also, it was a decision made because it was you, Jin, who obtained the power of regeneration, not someone else.”
At those words, Jin looked at Ayula in shock.
Somehow, I thought that Ayula had noticed her return, and Ayula nodded as if that was correct.
The moment Jin confessed his return to Paellito, Ayula heard his voice.
“The deaths that lie in your path will not be your responsibility. You could say it’s the responsibility of the existence that made you that way. But when you reach the end of the road… it strikes you that maybe you won’t be weighed down by so many deaths. There must be a reason why you gained the power of regeneration as soon as you became a creation.”
Hedo and Dante did not understand, but did not ask questions.
“The will of Numerus merely serves to alleviate the sorrow you suffered in the Holy Land today. Without this, you could have delayed the death of My dead children. It would have been possible to postpone it only in the form of a golden light, not in the form of a soul with memories and appearance in life. Touch one of the wings in front of you.”
As Jin touched his wings, he felt a group of dead subjects awaken nearby in spirit form.
Dante and Hedo opened their mouths in amazement, and the subjects who had just woken up and met their eyes screamed in surprise.
[Ooh wow! Ayula!]
[Isn’t he dead!? Why is my body so transparent…!?]
Incessantly, subjects were waking up all over the Holy Land. Without Numerus’ will, they would have awakened in an inexpressible circular golden light.
With a bewildered heart, Jin repeated what Ayula had just said. When you reach the end of the road, maybe you won’t be weighed down by so many deaths.
“Someday you will be able to give them real life again. Real life for those who died in vain, swept away by you and those of great power who oppose you… real life, not twisted resurrections like Numerus did in the past.”
Those who disappeared due to your return, the life they should have enjoyed.
Ayula whispered to Jin in a whisper. Dante and Hedo didn’t hear that because they were watching the spirits that were just starting to rise.
“So, don’t collapse under the weight of guilt, Jin. You must never fall to give them life back to those who died so before, to those who will die so after.”
Jin nodded.
Hope was welling up in my heart. The hope that maybe one day I might be able to completely shake off the heavy guilt I had to have because I was a regressor.
“Now this was the last thing I had to do. Jin Let’s wake up all my children who have fallen in the Holy Land today. Dante and Hedo go and deliver. I must explain this situation to My children who have awakened.”
