… … what?

Now what does that mean?

Are you telling Kanos about love too?

No, hey, wait a minute, Jusin! hey! Jehovah!

Just stop for a moment! Don’t disappear!

The reason you left me behind was to use me to kill Kanos and prevent destruction!

But what do you mean, love Kanos?

hey!!!

*****

Ssss-.

Space breaks apart catastrophically.

It only seems that way on the surface. Because the world just collapsed. I know that very well.

The spirit world cannot be broken. Because there is nothing. Since there is nothing to break, no matter what you do, you cannot even put a scratch on the space.

It’s just that the Lord who gave it crumbles, crumbles, and crumbles.

Ssss-.

Jehovah’s disappearance was quite different from others.

He gradually faded away.

Ssss-.

Like a ghost, I can see beyond my body.

The skin, bones, and organs of the entire body became translucent.

disappears

Eternal and boring extinction.

But it is by no means meaningless. This world, love, and I will live under the influence of Jehovah’s guidance from now on.

God is dead.

And left behind a believer.

“… … .”

I stood still and watched his disappearance.

I was barely able to gather my dazed mind from his last words.

*****

Love Kanos.

Love Kanos.

Love Kanos?

love is love When a person cherishes, affections, and cares for others and does not harm them. That’s love.

The enemy is the enemy. Killing, annihilating, cutting, and hostile. That is the enemy.

Kanos is my enemy. However, the main deity, or rather the former deity, Jehovah, told him to love Canos.

How does that come about?

It’s impossible. It’s a paradox.

It is impossible to cherish and embrace someone while being hostile and killing them. It’s natural.

I’m not a bad person. Therefore, it is not because of my lack of understanding, but it is clear that Jehovah was just talking nonsense before he died.

But I can’t ignore that nonsense.

When I first heard Maria’s thoughts, I tried to dismiss them as nonsense.

But I didn’t pass it up, and now I can understand some, if not all, of what Maria said.

This means that I have to accept that I am not a jack-of-all-trades or a genius, and there may be plenty of things I don’t know.

“Ha… Damn, damn.”

Confusing.

This is a kind of statement. mental addiction. Because I know that Jehovah does not just spout old nonsense, I cannot ignore his will.

But it is also clear that I don’t understand. How on earth can you love Kanos? He’s my enemy! For the world, for Maria, for Stella, who was ruined in the previous episode due to my vices, for Albrecht, Aru, Johan, Beatrice, Frey, etc.!

“They’re too busy attacking Kanos right now! Why are you making me so upset!”

It shouldn’t be like this.

In order to fight Kanos, who has become the main god now that the Demon King, or rather Jehovah, has disappeared, he must empty his mind of all distracting thoughts.

Even if I only focus on the fight, I will inevitably lose if I get distracted by strange things. There is no choice but to lose. That is the law of fighting.

Now that I have killed Jehovah and absorbed all of his remaining power and spirituality, I will now be almost on par with Kanos if I use the last remaining Joker card. It’s also the only time I can beat him.

But in this situation, the story is different. I have to go right away, but I can’t go right away.

“Damn, he’s like the fucking Jehovah!”

Defeat cannot be assumed. It should not be assumed.

In the end, I am.

I ran towards someone very quickly.

Please provide the right solution to this difficult situation.

To the only salvation.

my light

my light.

My Maria.

*****

“… … !”

Parts-!

The rare white-eyed pupils widened. The complexion of the saintess of the Holy Church became gaunt.

It was a natural phenomenon. Who could not be surprised when someone suddenly appeared in front of them?

However, Maria, a ‘girl’ who went through the process of maturing after experiencing a tragedy, was not very surprised.

Instead, I spoke.

“Who… please… ?”

he is.

It was a huge monster.

With the face of Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, or even more monstrous creatures.

“Maria, it’s me.”

The monster’s voice fills the room with a loud wave. Even though it didn’t ring loudly, it was as if I was hearing the voice of a being several levels higher, deep in my heart.

Maybe it’s not my mood. But that didn’t matter to Maria now.

“… … Mr. Evans?”

Because the voice I heard was familiar. So much so that even as a mature Maria, she couldn’t maintain her composure.

She ran out in a hurry, lifted up on her tiptoes, and placed her hands on the large man’s cheeks. The monster’s strange skin touched her hand.

“… … ! What the hell is this… !”

“Are you very surprised? I’m sorry.”

“No, no. Mr. Evans! How did this happen! Why is it like this… !”

“I’m sorry for lying to you all this time. Actually, this is my true self. Are you very disappointed?”

“… … !”

The appearance of Evans, who suddenly appeared, was clearly that of a monster. A face as white as if it had been powdered, eyes with exposed white porcelain, corners of the mouth torn to the ears, and a nose that protruded in a deformed manner like a goblin. and… … An irrationally gigantic physique.

But Maria felt it.

Unlike the fearsomeness of the visual information coming into one’s perspective right now.

The voice heard through hearing, or auditory information, is just as cozy and caring as usual.

That meant that the Evans of today was no different from the Evans she knew.

This was enough reason for Maria not to reject him.

Even though we gradually find out how it came to be so hideous.

First, I had to answer a question.

“No. What matters is the heart. I will not be swayed by appearances.”

“As expected, it’s Maria… .”

“However, what is Mr. Evans’ condition right now… … .”

“I’m sorry, Maria. I’m not in a position to answer Maria’s questions right now. I don’t know what ‘that guy’ is doing.”

“Yes?”

“Instead, I will ask you just one thing.”

The monster grabbed both of Maria’s small, soft hands with its huge hands.

“I have an enemy. A very large, scary, dangerous, and insidious enemy. It must be eradicated unconditionally. You must absolutely, absolutely kill it.”

But Maria was not sick. Her slender wrists, which would have broken even if Evans applied even the slightest force, were just placed in his warm, nurturing hands.

It was like that.

“Can I love such an enemy?”

The love that Evans embraces.

The love being conveyed to Maria.

“In love.”

Maria thought it was a question that made no sense. She had no idea why Evans was asking that question or treating her like that.

Just because of her full sense of being loved.

I came up with a sincere answer without a hint of playfulness.

“Is there discrimination?”

It was then.

side-.

“Eup… … !?”

“Thank you, Maria. I needed your answer.”

In the blink of an eye, Chaos, the primordial chaos, kissed Maria’s feathery lips and took them away, grinning.

It was a very satisfying smile. Maria had no idea what great deed she had done.

But one thing was certain.

Her answer had just become something very important to Evans.

“Okay then! I hope we see each other again!”

“Now, wait a minute! Mr. Evans!”

“Whahahaha!”

The monster came like the wind and slapped the person’s face! Like the winter wind that hits and then disappears in a heartless and cowardly way.

Evans is gone.

“… … !”

Maria’s eyes widened. But Evans was nowhere to be found in her line of sight.

This is because he has already evolved into something of a higher dimension that is not part of the third dimension.

“Mr. Evans? Mr. Evans!”

Maria called him anxiously. However, Evans’ magnificent and sonorous voice never penetrated her heart again.

For some reason, a corner of my heart felt empty. Maria couldn’t believe the current reality.

The touch of what had just happened still lingered on her lips.

However, the heartless man who took away her saintly purity did not leave a single trace.

There wasn’t even a trace of Evans’ scent left in the air.

It was strange, strange, bizarre, bizarre.

Maria felt empty and devastated.

It was the feeling when something very important disappeared.

“Ah… … .”

Why?

Maria had such an intuition.

It was a very strange and metaphysical intuition.

I have a hunch that it will probably be a long time before I see Evans’ face again.
