Those who are commonly called gods by beings on earth are not simply transcendents. The great power and abilities of the Godhead are merely a side effect of the Godhead.

To put it simply, those who are commonly called gods did not become gods because they deserved it, but because they became gods, they were able to obtain such qualifications.

“For example, since when was the Fairy Queen who is here now called queen?”

“I don’t know. I have been called that since the distant past.”

“As another example, does the owner of the forest know why he became the owner of the forest?”

“I don’t know. It happened at some point, so I took it for granted.”

“According to what the Goddess explained, there is no difference between these two and the Godhead. Those people are beings created by combining the wind of concepts.”

In the beginning, there was light, and because light was Bara, the main god was born.

Opposite to that light was darkness, and the darkness was jealous of the main god who expanded the light and wanted to have a being like me. That is how the evil spirit of darkness was born.

The same goes for other gods.

The gods of beauty and art are beings created from the hope of those two concepts, the god of history is a being born from the hope of history, and the god of martial arts and other gods are also beings created from the hope of those concepts.

“Will darkness really give up its agency just because the evil spirit of darkness disappears?”

“That can’t be possible. Just as the forest wants another master, the darkness will want another god.”

And in the same case now. It is clear who the next being chosen by the darkness will be. There is a being with the power of darkness here now, so why choose someone else?

“Then shouldn’t I just become a god?”

Yuden, the swordsman who was listening to this story boringly next to him, said something, and Frete smiled and asked him to stop saying stupid things.

He had such a rough attitude that I couldn’t believe it was the person who was holding his chin next to Lucy.

“To make it easier for Yuden to understand, authority is a kind of magic sword. It certainly brings great power, but at the same time it erodes the user.”

“Could it be encroached upon by darkness?”

The evil spirit of darkness, a being born from the desire for darkness, was a piece of trash that could not be viewed favorably.

What this person has done on the earth is so terrible that it would have burned his soul dozens of times. It is unclear how things will change when Erginus accepts that power.

“Of course, Erginus has a strong spirit, so nothing can happen. However, if the worst happens…”

The worst thing they can imagine is that Erginus, a great archmage, is completely tainted by the power of darkness and becomes an enemy.

If a genius who brought down the power of God to earth with only human wisdom becomes a god and tries to kill them, who will stop him?

“Huh. Annoying waste pay bitch. It seems like it has grown over hundreds of years.”

The man who had been struggling just a moment ago, saying he did not want to die, had already regained his composure. Seeing the shock directed at him, he grinned and raised his bound wrists.

“If a darkness greater than mine is born, it wouldn’t be that bad. Anyway, I was born in the dark.”

The man’s statement that he valued darkness more than anything else, just as the owner of the forest prioritizes the forest over everything else, was so plain that it could not be considered a lie.

“It was all an act?”

“In that way, your reason will fly away and you will swing your hand before you think. ah. Just in case that little bitch gets upset, I’ll tell you in advance that my fever was real.

all. What a great bitch.”

The man frowned as he looked at Lucy, who was sleeping peacefully in Benedick’s arms, as if the words that he was tired were true. Then, he took a long breath and raised his head again.

“So what should we do? Are you going to seal me away? Are you going to pass the burden on to distant future generations? do whatever you want. God’s time is long. One day, everything you tried to protect will collapse.”

Now, Erginus remembered that during the wars of the past mythological era, the gods spoke together about how there was no way to kill the godhead.

There was a reason why they offered an alternative called sealing to those who despaired in the face of a divine being who could be resurrected even if killed.

They don’t go away.

It can’t disappear.

Even if you kill it, something new is just reborn.

I realized this.

“Huh.”

Erginus, or to be exact, the Skeleton Wizard, a pseudo-personality created by Erginus, smiles bitterly.

“This is right.”

He alone who created me knew this. So, he put restrictions on me to prevent me from reaching this conclusion.

Looking back now, it’s a strange story. Does it make sense that someone who studied the power of God did not know this?

Logically, it is infinitely correct.

Even if we know that it is a mission, we must not give room to imagine darkness to those who never know when it may be distorted during hundreds of years of research.

And then, after a long, long study, the moment you encounter the smile of your loved one, you are made to see this mission.

The tool that inherited Erginus’ memories can never ignore the Fairy Queen.

She cannot escape from this world she will live in.

You cannot escape from the karma you have created.

This is truly the logic of an archmage.

Even if I had made a plan, I would have made it that way.

“Hoo. Have you made a decision? You think you can endure the darkness. I will support you. A great wizard who will go down in history can do that.”

I turn my head to the side, ignoring the words of the evil spirit who seemed to cheer me on by clapping my hands if I could.

There is my love.

My, Erginus’s, first and last love looks at me blankly.

She is more beautiful than the best and greatest magic in history shown by the God of Magic. Just looking at her face steals my eternity.

Just seeing the queen face to face makes you think you can endure hundreds or thousands of years.

The vicious thing is that it actually happened.

I willingly sacrificed hundreds of years to face this face.

“Lord Erginus?”

iced coffee. Great archmage. Your guess was right.

Your long, long efforts have been rewarded with just this one tool.

so. what. About the rest of my life.

“O great white and pure one. I’m definitely Erginus, but you know.”

“I can clearly see that Jjintta thinks like Jjintta. It’s so similar that I can’t even sympathize with it.”

If you follow the sharp sarcasm and turn your head, you will see that the girl who must have fallen into a sleep that will not wake up has opened her eyes.

The content of her mouth is the same as usual, but strangely, her tone of voice and facial expressions are not at all like her.

To a girl who is so obnoxious that she wants to hit him, he is defiant, confident, and straightforward, but inside he shows the image of a knight with clear consideration.

Just like that stiff-headed knight.

“…Ruel?”

“Oh? You have an unusual sense of humor, don’t you? Is it because you’re about to die and the blood flow is flowing throughout your body? For all that, it’s small, but…”

“How can you.”

“Because I don’t know how much of an idiot that pretentious second-year middle school student is. I stepped on the head of Gae Heo-jeop and received compensation. I never thought I would use this on a virgin instead of an asshole.”

The distorted content coming out of the girl’s mouth was truly dizzying. In particular, from Erginus’s perspective, he was reminded of Ruel’s appearance and voice as he said those words, and it seemed like he would seriously vomit.

“If it was a miracle like that, it would have been better to save it for the future.”

“Do you only think about women in your head? You were crazy because you wanted to get rid of your virginity. I understand. It’s been around for hundreds of years, so it’s crazy. huh. Yes.”

“What crazy things are you talking about!”

As Erginus screams in horror, a subtle smile appears on the girl’s lips.

Isn’t that what I’m saying because I want that side too?

I guess so. How could a paladin who is crazy about being ostentatious and pretentious say something like that?

Phew. Calm down and interpret what I just said.

“Indeed. Does this mean that when the darkness weakens, the given power also disappears?”

If it’s a miracle that’s going to blow away anyway, it’s better to put it to good use.

“So why did you intervene? Then what if I change my decision?”

“I told you. It’s so stupid. I didn’t intervene because I was frustrated because I had been holding on to sympathy for so long that even my brain was eroded by sympathy and I couldn’t move my head.”

…It’s a direct criticism, but if I were to interpret it, it would be this. I’m so wrapped up in love that I can’t think straight. Think more calmly and broadly.

“The advantage was that my brain worked well, but what if I couldn’t use that? You’re such a jerk to begin with. hmm. This is correct.”

What do we do. What analogy should I use? It’s difficult because all they say is true. Erginus tried to ignore the muttering and tried to focus on his thoughts.

When you ask, “Are you really that kind of person?” you are probably referring to the real Erginus, not me.

Erginus, were you originally that kind of person?

Was he someone who forced others to make sacrifices?

…

No.

No, no.

If Erginus was that kind of person, he could not have been considered a hero.

He was eccentric, but he was never an evil person.

At least I’m not the kind of person who would force someone who has sacrificed for hundreds of years to sacrifice again.

In particular, this sacrifice does not fit his regret. I feel sad too. The Fairy Queen also becomes sad. Because evil gods make the worst possible ending that makes them laugh.

Where is it? Where did I miss something? What’s wrong?

“Even if I tell you this much, you still don’t understand? Dude, there’s only one thing you’re good at.”

“What am I good at?”

Something Ruel might mention that I am good at. For sure. A harmony between two people that seems impossible.

“Queen!”

Erginus, who was struck by a flash of thought, grabbed both of the Queen’s hands and looked at her with heated eyes.

“ne. Yes.”

“I feel guilty for being an ugly wizard who only looks to you for help! But once. Please help me just one more time!”

possible.

It’s definitely possible.

Two people can do it, not just one!

“I know it’s not trustworthy! But this Erginus! I swear by the magic I have accumulated over my lifetime! I will make sure your ending is happy, so please cooperate with me!”

Erginus, who spoke out whatever came to mind in his short-circuited thoughts, froze for a moment when he saw the Fairy Queen with a red face.

It’s “. Even in confessions about pity, it smells like pity.”

I understood how my words could be heard by the sarcastic voice coming from next to me.

“No! I! that! I don’t mean to say something like that. No, I was thinking of doing it. that is. What. that. Ugh!”

At this moment, Archmage Erginus seriously regretted not researching the magic of time.
