Hukkeshni is glaring at me.

There are a few things I want to say, but the most important question comes to mind.

“Why did you block me?”

Originally, if one person had failed, I would have thought that there was a mistake in the middle. However, after Andrew’s pre-dharma group, those who understood Yasle’s knowledge discussed and supplemented each other, and then the ritual was performed.

The chances of being wrong are remarkably low.

And shortly after the ritual began, he was murdered.

That means there is a way to detect consciousness in some way. Even when someone tries to become conscious and fails, that person is the first to be killed.

that’s right.

The opponent has the means to detect consciousness, knows how to block consciousness, and has the ability to find and kill it.

Honestly, I never imagined anything like that until now, but I came running to you as soon as I came into this world.

Now that I know the ending, the process feels connected.

So I asked with annoyance. Hukkeshni gripped his staff tightly.

“Why? Why? Look at what you did!”

Then he pointed around. All around him stood what had once been people. Their heads had become black-purple spheres. Now there was no warmth or light inside them.

What was torn off is only the lower half of the body. And where the upper half should be, there is a hole, as if a flower had bloomed. It looks like a heavy object fell on the glass window, causing it to break in the middle and crack around it.

“Is this what a dead person looks like!”

“Then why did you block it before?”

So I asked again. This is the first time I’ve done something like this. No, really, this is the first time I’ve experienced this phenomenon, so I’m dumbfounded.

I don’t know if this is simply because they have a lot of descendants and they are all related by blood and can all be taken with them when they are retrieved, or if Tisha and her descendants are special.

I’ll have to find out later.

But this is a phenomenon I’ve seen for the first time.

That means, this isn’t why Hyungkesuni was running around trying to stop me before.

As I was waiting for Hyukkeshni to answer, she suddenly swung her staff. The staff was shaped like a human skull and spine. Red blood spurted onto my face along the skull.

The blood came from the palm of Hyukkesuni’s hand.

I think I slammed my hand into the spine and it bled. That’s why I was holding the cane earlier.

[Decapitation]

My throat popped into the air with some strange words.

The world is spinning round and round.

But did you forget? This isn’t a body. It’s just a block of polygons I made roughly. So I held the head with my arms.

Thump, thump, roll

oh.

I missed it.

Hmm. Something feels strange.

If my head falls off, shouldn’t I be looking at my body from the floor? If the nerves are still connected even if the neck is cut off by some unknown ability, I think I should be able to move my body while looking at it.

I’m just here.

Clearly, the moment it was cut off, the gaze turned together, but now the viewpoint is not on the floor, but on the head.

No. No. I just said it.

My body was an amorphous object, like a mass of polygons.

Is this the correct cut?

Does it need to be cut off?

No, can it be cut in the first place?

While I was thinking that, the head on the floor disappeared, changing to a low-resolution image, like fragments disappearing from an old game. Instead, the head is still on the neck, as if it had never been cut off in the first place.

Up until now, everyone who has been blessed has had their head cut off and died. That’s the method of the crime.

“It really was Heungkeshni who was the culprit. So he killed the person I blessed with this?”

“You, weren’t you supposed to be able to play only when there was warmth?”

Question after question.

But now that I look at it, the chances of it being ejected again seem slim.

I will answer.

“No. When did I ever say that?”

Come to think of it, it was none other than Hulkeshni who experimented with the wounds. She frowned.

Yes, she figured it out without us having to talk. I did my best to make her think so.

“What was it about me that scared you that kept you from coming back?”

I asked. I never did anything that would be dangerous to anyone. At least not until the very end.

I just sat there quietly and endured it.

“You are the law. The law that causes a huge explosion when the intelligent beings of this world feel intense frustration and despair. And that was simply an act to eat people. Right? Now, how can you not be afraid when there is a law in front of you that actively seeks out and eats you? Who wouldn’t be afraid unless they are so low-intelligence that they can’t even imagine that future?”

I was about to nod, but then I stopped because it was a little subtle. There is some misunderstanding. That needs to be cleared up.

“I don’t eat people.”

“People don’t die if they drink warmth.”

“No. If you drink the warmth, you will change. Don’t you remember? After I drank the warmth, the person next to me killed the sacrifice.”

So when Yasle gave me the sacrifice, she gave it separately in the room where the warrior was. Because if it lost its warmth, it would turn into a monster.

“If that’s not death, then what is it? And the humans you blessed. They all became people because they were intoxicated by that power! They all became monsters! And that little brat was crazy about the power and moved to seek revenge!”

That kid is probably Yasle.

“Hyunkeshuni. I gave you a blessing, but I didn’t change my mind. Let me ask you. If I had twisted people, would Tisha have come out?”

The most heterogeneous person. And at some point, he was a purely good person. He wasn’t just a good person, but he was a person who could be firm when he had to be firm.

“You wanted this and made it like this!”

Ah. Indeed.

It could seem that way.

I shook my head from side to side.

“No. I didn’t do anything. In the first place, I couldn’t do anything to people with strong opinions like Tishana Wide or Isla. You’ll remember the title of foreign correspondent that you gave them. When I experimented with them saying that, people with strong egos didn’t move at all.”

At those words, Hyungkeshni glared at me with a very sharp expression.

“Experiment? You, you also planned to eat Yasle’s memories, right? That’s why you spread the method to summon me as if you were spitting out the title of Foreigner!”

After shouting like that, Hyungkeshni tries to swing his staff again. All the strange magic comes from this staff.

So I reached out and grabbed it. No, let me correct that. Several bodies with heads that were purple orbs moved and grabbed the staff of the henkishni. It moves? It moves like my own hands and feet. If it moves, I like it.

Oh, he’s trying to run away.

Grab it.

Countless palms hold and press down on the chest.

“Ugh!”

Several people with heads that were shaped like dark purple balls rush in, and a groaning Hunkeshuni is pinned to the ground. Then an ominous dark blue aura moves.

I’m annoyed.

I grabbed that dark blue aura because I felt like I could catch it.

“Curious!”

The chest convulses as if the windpipe is being grabbed. Of course, the hand is actually in the chest, but it is not actually piercing the flesh.

This body is really strange. And then I realize something strange. Anyway, I hope you don’t get hurt. There’s still something I want you to do for Hungkeshni.

I swallowed the dark blue into dark purple. Then I felt my fingertips slightly lift, but it soon disappeared.

And when I pulled my hand out, her chest was unscathed.

As soon as his hand is completely removed, Hulkeshnee starts to retch and cough.

I lifted the hunches and sat them down properly. Even though I said I sat them down, they were still restrained by people like dolls, sitting on a chair. In a broad sense, you could say they sat down.

“Don’t run away. I’m annoyed with you. You punk.”

Half of it is on God, not you, but please be my vent partner. We’ve been together for half a year, right?

“Is this your nature?”

“Hyungkesuni asked, calming his rapid breathing.

“I don’t know what to call nature. I told you what I am, didn’t I? I’ve always wondered, why are you so afraid of me? At least I didn’t do anything dangerous before the Future Hope Church was destroyed.”

Then Hukkeshni laughed. Not out of fear, but out of laughter.

“I told you earlier. I thought the man-eating monster would actively eat people in the future. And a monster that covets something called warmth would give away its power called blessing for free? A sacrifice? How could a mere human be equal to such a great blessing? There had to be something else. So I thought I had to find out before it got really dangerous.”

Hulkeshuni continued speaking, glaring at me with a slightly mumbled voice, his palm pressed against one cheek.

“But that bastard ignored my words, saying he would take revenge on the Ansellus Kingdom.”

If it were up to me, I would listen to what Heungkeshni has to say. No. Oh. I see. This person clearly misspoke.

“Did you say something like this? Let’s stop blessing for now. Something like that… … . Yes. That’s right.”

You’re glaring at me like you’re going to kill me before I even finish speaking. Of course, I remember what I told Yasle!

I quickly opened my mouth to cover up what I thought would make Hulkeshuni angry.

“I really gave you a blessing. Hukkeshuni. I don’t know why I became strong in the first place, why I gained abilities. I just did whatever Yasle wanted. ”

“Are you just pretending not to know anything and deceiving us?”

Yes. I pretended not to know anything. I even lied. Because if I had revealed my true feelings and done what I wanted, I would have lost my head.

“I don’t remember lying.”

“I guess you didn’t lie.”

Hehehe. That’s right.

“You finally got Yasle’s memories after waiting so long. Then you told the person who received your blessing how to summon you. What do you plan to do with this world?”

Now, Hukkeshuni asked me in a sorrowful voice. I felt Hukkeshuni falling down little by little. Resignation and despair. I guess both of these were cutting into my heart.

You talk as if I’m going to destroy the world, but I have no intention of doing that.

In the first place.

“I don’t know what the world is. I just want to have warmth. Hukkeshuni.”

That’s really all there is to it.

The reason we go out into the world, the reason we harvest more, and the reason we create blessing agents are all because we want to have warmth.

Suddenly.

I looked up at the ceiling.

And then, suddenly, deep in his heart, the gray-faced man spoke.

“I want to punch the face of the god who made me like this.”

I guess that’s the way I speak, because I was once a man. But as for whether I have an impulse, well, I’m not that impatient.

Should I just drink barley tea or roundle tea? I’ll have barley tea today. It’s that kind of impulse.

At my words, Hyungkeshni’s head shot up. Hyungkeshni’s eyes were very round as she looked at me.

“What?”

“Didn’t you know? I was a human a long time ago. Without knowing why, I opened my eyes and shivered in the cold deep under the sea until I realized that I was the sea.”

In the old days, when the sky and the sea were indistinguishable, a small light suddenly appeared in the sky, and the light slowly grew. And the light grew to form the night sky.

As soon as I met others, I recognized myself.

I was a vast ocean on the floor. At first I thought it was some kind of ocean planet, but it was just flat.

Endless plane.

And it’s below a certain boundary. It’s full below. A boundary that couldn’t go up.

At first I could stretch my arms out to the light that came close to my sleep, and now I’ve come up here like this.

“Hyungkeshni. People shouldn’t blame me. I did as per the contract. Give me and take it back when I die. I didn’t know that I could take my descendants too, but I originally didn’t intend to reach out to my descendants.”

Then I pointed to the sky.

“I signed the contract first, but they blocked it. It’s a default. If you break a contract, you should be punished.”

In fact, it was an unexpected situation from beginning to end, and it just happened that way, but that’s how it is. To be honest, I didn’t know that it would be possible to defeat Hyukkeshuni so easily. Oh, I wonder if this is possible with Death Beam, but the dark purple energy doesn’t even flinch at such thoughts.

Since I came into this world, all my actions have been improvisational, and my motivation is irritation. So, it’s an opportunity.

“I am not a cruel law. Instead of exploding the person who comes near me, I will bless him. Of course, only if he agrees.”

Just leave out the part where it says you can’t enter into a contract if you don’t agree.

Hukkeshuni glares at him, telling him not to lie.

“It’s like lending money and taking it with interest. Of course, if the person who received the power wastes his life and dies, it’s my loss, but isn’t that how all investments are?”

Of course, since I’m getting warmth, I’m already benefiting from the moment the contract is signed. And there’s also the story that if the person who signed the contract kills someone, that person’s warmth will come to me.

“The offering is eating the fruit in front of you. The blessing is planting the seed and waiting for the tree to bear fruit. I chose the way to get more fruit. I have no intention of harming the tree. I want it to grow better.”

Just like Tisha.

That’s why I chose only blessings instead of just gathering warmth.

I chose a good method and even got a gift.

“I have no intention of interfering artificially in the future. If you ask for a blessing, I will give you a blessing.”

“How much of the sacrifice do you plan on eating, you monster?”

Hehehe. Good question, hyungkesuni.

“A sacrifice? That’s because Yasle liked it, right?”

Then, Hyungkeshni, with a blank expression, thought deeply and looked at me with a face that seemed to have realized something. What on earth did he understand?

“Why on earth are you trying to convince me?”

ah.

this.

I got caught.

But I asked a question. Rules are rules. Even if you set them, you can’t lie.

“How to summon. I wish you would write it in a book.”

In the first place, the magic to summon evil beings was taught to Yasle by Hyukkesuni. By the way, the method of reverse summoning is not magic, but a legacy of the Yeongranggyo Kingdom, so I cannot use it.

“Get out!”

Hyungkesuni glares at me with an expression that suggests he would rather take his own life.

I think persuasion will be difficult. And the biggest problem right now is what to do about this place.

Until now, the family has been observing Tisha’s final moments, so everyone else is outside.

There’s a lot to get through.
