It was quite a while later that Ygrasil woke up.
We just watched him.
“What… ji… ?”
Igrasil woke up and looked very confused.
The fact that he was defeated.
Still, the fact that he was alive seemed awkward.
You thought you were going to die, but you couldn’t bear it and attacked you as soon as you got a body?
What are you crazy doing?
The power of the celestial being is such that it paralyzes reason.
“Why did you save me?”
Igrisil asked me without a smile for the first time in a long time.
It was an expression of not understanding.
There was no one he could trust around him.
There was no mercy either.
Even if ordinary people have a tendency to kill themselves, they can suppress it through education.
Growing up in the worst environment, he lacked such self-control.
It is an illusion to think so.
I’m just temporarily lowering my threshold for greater pleasure.
To give Igrasil a greater reward.
I needed to tie it down for a while.
A future that has changed.
Because every single bit of strength is lacking is mine.
“Are you saving me?”
“Ah. I don’t sympathize with you, so there’s no need to be particularly nervous. I just need to keep you alive.”
“Giggle. I wonder what the reason is.”
“There are many reasons. I don’t know how much stronger the Sword Saint has become over the past 500 years. Sword Saint is Sword Saint. One of the few people to have attained the title of saint without stigmata. It’s the knight who won the fight with him.”
This is sincere.
Even if he is strong against anomalous things and becomes weak when it comes to non-personnel combat.
He had influence beyond that of president.
If you utilize him, it will be of considerable benefit.
“Giggles. I think you’ll win with the power you brought with you, right?”
“If it were a fight for hegemony between the Empire and the Republic, I wouldn’t have been particularly worried. But there is a reason why I came to you.”
“Giggle. Very fun. So what is the reason?”
“What can I say? That’s because the opponent is that strong. It’s hard to deal with just the Empire and the Republic.”
At times like this, I sometimes miss modern weapons.
Even if prepared, the current power system has a strong tendency to rely on individuals.
There are times when the results are unsatisfactory.
But modern weapons come honestly from the factory.
There would be no need to take this gamble.
Of course, there is very little he can do.
There is always something to be done.
“Is there such a guy?”
“That’s the kind of thing. I don’t know how strong it will be. But if you look at its origins, it is something that cannot be weak.”
“What is that?”
“First of all, there is something I need to do. Will you cooperate with me? Are you going with us?”
“If you accept it?”
“They are colleagues.”
“What if I refuse?”
“It is not mercy born of sympathy. There will be a judgment without pity.”
It meant he was going to kill me.
There is room for it to be seen as cruel.
It was the most obvious response.
He said in a funny way.
“Giggle. So are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“Kick. Is it okay if I don’t listen to the end?”
“What you say is decided. You’re probably asking whether that level of slaughter is really going on.”
“That’s right. Because you clearly said so. Giggling.”
“That’s for sure. I can guarantee it.”
“Really? Then it’s good and I’m giggling.”
He said with a smile.
And suddenly his expression disappeared.
A facial expression that shows no emotion.
An expressionless state, as if he had realized something of the truth.
In that state, his mouth opened.
“But what? No matter how much I think about it, I still have doubts.”
Humans cannot make proper judgments when they are excited.
That’s why you get caught in voice phishing that doesn’t actually make sense.
Because I was embarrassed, my brain got excited because there was a problem.
It obscures reason.
Now he has calmed down somewhat.
The only thing left for him to do was to ask questions.
Once Cheonsalseong was satisfied, the situation was finally understood.
Then, what was revealed was something strange.
I didn’t notice it until now because I was so excited.
He spoke of the sense of discomfort that came to him only after it had passed.
“So… How did you do it? Giggling.”
“What do you mean? You must have kept all the contracts, right?”
“Ha! ‘This’ is something even a swordsman can’t do! A body that functions exactly like a human, enormous vitality, and even soul tuning… Even with the influence of the Sword Saint during my lifetime, this was impossible!”
Sword Saint.
The only one who could stop him while he was alive.
There was more though.
There was no way the majority would intervene, so the only person who could stop him at the time was the Sword Saint.
In other words, to him, the Sword Saint is the only being superior to himself.
I did something that even he couldn’t do.
Of course you thought it was impossible.
Because there was no creation back then.
However, the biggest feature of inductive reasoning is.
The fact is that a single counterexample can refute assumptions built up over hundreds of years.
I did it.
So there is no need to prove it.
“Because the goals were different.”
“… What do you mean by that?”
“I just kept running with this in mind. The reason I wasn’t good at swordsmanship is simply that.”
A swordsman would have been able to do it.
It simply happened because I aimed for it.
But he was surprised by my answer.
He asked me back in a long-winded manner.
“… under. I wondered how they prepared so quickly… I was preparing in advance. Giggling. Are you a girl? She’s actually a saint, but she disguised herself as a man?”
“If you were a saint, wouldn’t it have been better to just reveal your affiliation and approach her?”
“Kick. If you look at the height, it doesn’t seem like it, so let me tell you. Not all adults enter Seonghwangcheong. Saints were directly connected to gods, but Seonghwangcheong was not directly connected to heavenly gods.”
In short, it meant that there was another case.
Maybe so.
But how many?
If you look at it from the beginning, I am also a saint.
“Then shall we leave now? I don’t care if you follow me or not. If you just participate with us at the end, that’s enough.”
“… Really? Giggling.”
“Of course. Why do I need to lie about that?”
I don’t know anything else, but this is sincere.
Why would I bother to lie?
In some ways, that person is a person who could kill me.
There is absolutely no need to lie and make yourself feel bad.
It’s all over now.
Even my promise to him.
He seemed to be waiting for me.
My business is done here.
He probably avoided the sword castle on his own. If war breaks out, the human side will slaughter the enemy.
That’s enough… Excellent.
It was when I was about to leave.
“Wait.”
He stopped me and the guardian from leaving.
His face was stained with embarrassment.
Our actions are unexpected.
“You… So you won’t impose any restrictions?”
“You proposed as if you were the first to do so. Is this your final conscience?”
His answer was surprising.
I asked why there were no restrictions.
Normally, I would think it was a mistake and move on.
However, after listening to his subsequent answer, I understood to some extent.
“Giggle. Usually people like you don’t forget the restrictions. In most cases like this, the leash is already fastened. Or maybe it’s better not to wear a leash.”
It looks like 500 years of Jjambap was not wasted.
Actually, both were correct.
There were means of control.
It is also true that it is more beneficial not to control things.
I told him right away.
“There will be war soon. The time is approaching when the world will be turned upside down and the fate of countless people will change.”
“Kickㅡ What does that have to do with me?”
“On the battlefield where countless blood will flow… Because you participate and die yourself.”
I don’t know if he will die.
But I will definitely fight and die.
Whether you die fighting during the war.
Whether they were executed after the war.
He will go to war.
You will die there.
But he seemed to be missing something.
He taunted me as if making fun of me.
“Giggle. Are you too sure? There is no guarantee that I will be on your side in that war.”
Those words made the guardian a little hostile.
The speculation spreading in the air made my body vibrate.
After stopping the guardian with a hand gesture.
It was what I said.
“The reason is simple. First, there is no reason for you to join the other side. Because the war will end that quickly.And the second reason. That’s crucial.”
At those words, Ygrasil blinked and looked at me.
“Giggle. What on earth is that?”
“There are many reasons. The reason you have no choice but to be on my side. that… ”
The reason why you have no choice but to stand if you are on this earth.
In some ways, this is an ending Ygrasil would never have wanted.
That is the entity that will bring about that ending.
because…
“Because the other person is not human.”
The embodiment of sin.
That’s not human.
But it’s not even God.
It’s just a remnant of God.
The being we are dealing with.
He is the embodiment of sin.
