Yuden, who saw that the magic circle was dyed black, immediately swung his sword.

It’s not like checking the liver. A sword used to decapitate an opponent with the first strike.

An attack like light, which could easily be called the ultimate in swordsmanship used by the Sword Saint, pierces the sound and flies towards the Apostle of Void.

The moment the sword was swung, Yuden was confident that his sword had made contact.

The experience she has accumulated over a long period of time. An intuition developed through dealing with countless people. Juden’s victory was announced.

The actual results proved that Juden was right.

The apostle’s body and neck separate, and red liquid splashes around.

“Sword Master, what do you think the void is?”

However, the apostle’s voice did not stop. Even though his neck was floating in the air and rolling on the floor, he was still able to make a sound.

“Many scholars say that emptiness is a space without anything. It is a hellish place devoid of all the positive elements that rule the world.”

“Saint! Lady Patran! The power.”

“Already doing it!”

“The energy lurking in this place is so strong!”

From the moment they reached this room, Faybe and Joy had been working to defeat the power of the Void.

Nevertheless, the reason why he could not shake off all the energy was simply because there was too much Void Power.

The two are in trouble because their aura is so powerful that they cannot easily defeat Faby, who has divinity and abilities befitting the title of saint, and Joy, who has amazing talent that many professors want to attract to their department.

shit. If this happens, you won’t have time to look around at the situation around you. We must destroy their plan, even if it means making some sacrifices!

Even when Yuden, with a crumpled expression, tried to swing his sword again, the apostle’s neck was full of freedom as he rolled on the floor.

“Someone else says that emptiness is a power that is not worth discussing. Why should we pay attention to something that is nothing?”

Yuden’s sword swung again, cutting not only the head rolling on the floor but also the Void followers lurking within it, but the apostle’s voice still rang out in the room.

“But it’s different. That’s not what emptiness is. Void is purity. It is pure whiteness, uncontaminated by anything.”

As the apostle’s voice continues, the scene in the room changes.

Those who were cut by Yuden just now have regained their normal appearance.

The magic circle that had been dyed black turned pure white.

The darkened scenery outside the window became whiter than a snowy field.

The apostle’s eyes as he looked at the group turned into blank sheets of paper without any color.

“There are so many things in today’s world. Over the long years, so many things have accumulated and become far from pure.”

Yuden stopped attacking for a moment while listening to the nonsense that the apostle was talking about.

The situation will not change if we continue to attack blindly. It’s just a waste of energy. What is it really? It’s different from simply regenerating their bodies.

I’ve dealt with a lot of those bastards. If it were something like that, I would have cut it until it couldn’t regenerate and then blown it away thinking I was going to kill it.

“Numerous pollutions piled up on top of pure water are coloring the world black. If things continue like this, everything will turn black and become irreversible.”

“What. So you’re going to blow it all up and reset it?”

“Accurate! yes! That’s right! Let’s bring this world back to the beginning and let everyone start from innocence together!”

The Void Apostle speaks. A world where classes do not exist. A world where capital does not exist. A world where discrimination does not exist. A world where countries do not exist.

“Lady Patran was born with privilege, so she won’t be able to sympathize. I understand! That’s what power is! But not the other two! If you are a saint who experienced hell while growing up in an orphanage! If you are a sword saint who was a mercenary at the bottom! You know how trash the existing order is!”

He raised his voice, raising the blood in his neck, but neither Fabi nor Yuden seemed to empathize with him at all.

Fabi looked down at the apostle’s madness with pity, and Yuden just shook his head as if it was not worth responding.

Sado, who met their eyes, stared blankly ahead and then began to burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind.

At a time when the sound of laughter was filling the room that was turning pure white, Joy stepped in between Fabi and Yuden and let out a quiet voice.

“It is pointless to attack them now. No matter how much I attack, I just go back to the beginning.”

“…Please explain in detail.”

“This is the power of the void possessed by the Apostle. What happened just before has been undone.”

Joey continued his explanation, recalling what Lucy had written down in the book.

The origin of the power of the void ultimately begins with throwing oneself into the void.

Because it is nothing, it can become something else.

Most followers can only throw themselves into the void, even in limited quantities, but the Apostle of the Void is different.

An apostle, a being favored by the evil god of the void, can turn not only himself but also the phenomena around him into nothing.

Even if it is your own death.

“According to Lucy’s explanation, there is a limit there too…”

The appearance of the Void Apostle now seemed far from the limit. This is probably because he is granted enormous power by the academy’s magic circle.

The power of the magic circle was not enough to support a 100-story dungeon, but also provided various positive energies within the academy and even maintained a barrier to prevent external intervention.

Since we are granted this, we can freely perform things that can be called miracles.

“Young-ae. If I approach the magic circle, can I disconnect from that guy?”

“Theoretically possible.”

Joy, who had been taught by Erginus, the person who created the magic circle, thought that if she could get close to the magic circle, she would be able to break the connection.

Is that all? With Fayby by your side, it wouldn’t be difficult to destroy the evil spirit that eroded the magic circle.

The problem is that it is difficult to approach the magic circle itself before intervening in it. How can we defeat beings who can turn even death into nothingness and take steps forward?

“…I’m in trouble.”

From Yuden’s perspective, the current situation was equally hopeless. It is not very difficult to cut down those who stay in front of you.

No matter what they did, she had the confidence to make it all meaningless.

But then what do you do? Everything she does would be for naught.

Hmm. Is there no choice but to swing the sword until the output from that magic circle reaches its limit?

“I think I can be of help.”

At a time when Yuden and Joy’s expressions were tinged with confusion, Fabi took a step forward.

The warm divinity that lurks around her erases the whiteness and returns the world to its original color.

Could it not have been possible to ignore even the influence of divinity? The Void Apostle, who stopped laughing in an instant, lowered the corners of his eyes and looked at Fabi.

“Help? Are you talking about the false saint created by the given church?”

Joey’s eyes widened at the words spoken by the Void Apostle, and even Yuden turned his head in surprise, but Fabi’s expression was calm.

“Yes. Yes.”

“Hahaha! You’re telling a funny story! What can you do? What can you do when you should be a disgrace to the Lord! If that’s the case, it’s better to start from the beginning! In whiteness, even you, whose very existence is a sin, can become pure.”

“I will refuse. A person who is nothing.”

As Fabi smiles despite the opponent’s provocation, the corner of Sado’s eyes tightens slightly.

“That ordeal. High difficulty. Sin too. Everything has made me who I am now, so what can I do if I turn it all into nothing?”

“Then maybe your true faith will be recognized?”

“You really don’t know anything. I have already been rewarded by the Lord.”

“…What?”

Fabi reveals his divinity outwardly. This is not the ordinary divinity used by the priests of the given church, but a divinity that contains the warmth of the sun.

As the divinity of the Great God spreads around, the power of the Void retreats and the pure white landscape gradually begins to take on color.

“Unlike the petty person you serve, the Lord is infinitely merciful.”

Fabi stood in the middle, smiling more confidently than ever before and looking at the Void Apostle.

“Enough to embrace this sinful person.”

“…bluff.”

“I think it’s natural that you don’t understand. This kind of tolerance would not exist in the God you serve.”

Even in front of the red eyes of the Void Apostle who had set up threads of blood. Even amidst the numerous enemies targeting Fabi. While facing multiple threats containing the power of the void. Fabi was still relaxed.

It wasn’t because I wasn’t afraid of the current situation.

It wasn’t because his life wasn’t worth it.

It was just because I believed it.

To the great God who pushed his back just now. And the apostle of the Lord who created this whole situation.

“Why do you look so bad? If everything were to return to innocence as you said, then what I said would disappear, right?”

“If you really want to return to the void, I will do so.”

Fabi unleashed her magic in the face of her opponent’s hostility.

This is the magic that Lucy used in the past to perform miracles. The magic is now hers.

The realm of divinity unfolds around Fabi.
