episode_0049

A corridor that is pure white, inorganic, and does not tolerate any dirt.

As if the brief commotion caused by a rash executioner had been a lie, the hall was once again enveloped in silence.

But that silence didn’t last long.

– A sacramental reaction has been detected… .

The terrified voice of a priest breaks the silence. The image on the white wall, the complex diagram, shows that it is neither an illusion nor an error.

From the goddess to the pope, from the pope to everyone. That was the absolute premise.

But the sacrament took place without the Pope’s permission and beyond the Pope’s reach.

That one simple incident was the collapse of everything we believed in.

ー…!!

-Oh, Your Holiness, what is this…!

-Without permission, how on earth… Ohh, ohhh.

-Authority is absolute, but why, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be!!

A ripple like a large rock being thrown into calm water. Chaos. Confusion.

A madness like never before, like never before. Priests in pure white, with wide eyes, shouting in discord.

“… Stop.”

-This can’t be happening, Your Holiness!

-Oh, oh, oh, it’s impossible, it’s impossible, but in reality, no, impossible, reality, His Holiness the Pope, fire, sacrament, authority, ah, ah, ieeee…

-Wow, woahh …

“Stop it, he said.”

The Pope’s quiet words echoed in the midst of the commotion, and several priests who had been screaming almost in fits were engulfed in a dazzling light.

When the light faded, no one could find their figure.

Wait a minute, everyone hold your breath.

-Oh, oh!

-His Holiness the Pope’s power remains intact!

-No shaking, no shaking!!

The priests cried out in voices that seemed reassuring, that seemed to want to be reassured, but still terrified.

The Pope narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.

“… Is it summer or fall?”

Spring, summer, and fall. All seasons were equal, and there was no superiority or inferiority between the three goddesses.

The spring pope simultaneously ruled the entire empire as pope. The summer and autumn orders, pushed aside by the spring power, were completely excluded from politics and held only a minor position within the empire.

The goddess grants power to her followers, but at the same time maintains her existence through their faith.

As the influence of the Spring religion grew, the Goddess of Spring naturally came to stand above the other goddesses. Before long, the people began to call her Jushin.

The sacraments of summer and autumn were also to be in the hands of the Pope, as he was the first child of the Lord.

Therefore, it will not be easy for the religious groups that commit such irreverence to avoid punishment.

“Which one is it? Tell me.”

-The unique wavelength of divine power, unidentified… .

“What? Then does that mean there are other gods?”

-No classification of sacraments…?

-This, this is….

To the priests who are on the verge of falling into even greater confusion, the Pope speaks calmly.

“Then it makes even more sense. Isn’t it a device error?”

-Oh, oh, that’s right!

-That’s right, that’s right!!

The priests quickly regained their composure and began to praise the greatness of the Pope in one voice again.

But the Pope was feeling it.

It’s not an error or anything.

This wavelength.

***

Mena Ruina clenched and unclenched her fists. She moved her body slightly.

Surprisingly, I felt no force at all.

Not just divine power. The magical power he possessed as a teacher of the Magic Department, and even the physical strength his body originally possessed.

So then, what is it that is moving the body now, that is still alive?

iced coffee.

The world had stopped. Before my eyes, there was winter.

I have something to say.

Your mouth moves naturally and spontaneously, filling your mouth with prayer.

“I give you all my attention.”

And so, my eyesight disappeared.

“I will only listen to you.”

So, my hearing was lost.

“Oh, how fragrant you are.”

My sense of smell is gone.

“I don’t need to taste any pleasure anymore.”

And the sense of taste too.

“I will reach you.”

Eventually, even the sense of touch disappeared.

[There is no hesitation.]

“Yes. Because I couldn’t do anything with this wretched body.”

[Yes. That’s why I came to you.]

Realize and admit your own helplessness. Don’t blame anyone or cling to vain hopes.

[There were 3,549 people in this world who were less fortunate than you. But none of them were like you.]

A person who blames God, the world, and others, and goes crazy with resentment and anger.

On the contrary, there are people who are comfortable blaming themselves for everything, and who hate themselves without even being able to see reality properly.

A person who says that he can definitely do it and that he will turn this reality upside down, but in reality, he just does nothing and smiles with his eyes wide open.

[Those people are much happier. So much so that they don’t need me.]

In fact, it is several times more painful to look at reality coolly.

For a life to be ruined to this extent, it obviously requires a combination of a terrible environment and an incompetent self.

It cannot be solved by any effort or luck. And God is not interested. It is inevitable. There is absolutely no room for salvation here.

How can we face all of that as it is?

Romance of spring, dreams of summer, memories of autumn.

A person who looks at the cold reality does not belong anywhere. No one cares for him. He is abandoned.

[So, in the cold winter, I was just born. As the Goddess of Winter. As your Goddess.]

“Shall we go?”

[Let’s go. Surrender yourself.]

***

Irusia was worried.

‘It’s not because they still see us as insects…’

It’s been quite some time since I confronted the Inspector. Even if it’s just a bug, if it’s bothering me this much, I’m going to start taking action.

‘For some reason, I’m hesitating to draw my sword.’

However, we cannot have the complacent thought that the swordsman will never draw his sword.

The balance between the reason why the sword is not drawn and how much resistance this side puts in. Here.

“No way… Winter, right?”

“You know what I mean, inspiration.”

“The structure of the world has changed. Huh… .”

I don’t know what the heck happened, but I saw Professor Mena rushing forward, having gained the divine power of winter.

What will the balance be when this addition is added?

***

You can’t see ahead, but you can see everything clearly. You can’t hear, but you can hear, and you can’t feel, but you can feel everything.

Winter is taking over everything.

I threw my body. I was able to run, stepping on the air. No, I was ‘made to run’.

fast.

It’s a super-speed that was previously unimaginable, but it allows you to react at such an unresponsive speed.

“… What is it?”

Even invisible tragedies are captured clearly.

“Kids’ teacher?”

It allows you to break things.

“… !”

With the chain of light that suddenly appeared in his hand, he broke the sword master’s attack and charged towards the sword master.

The swordsman opened his eyes wide. In an instant, dozens of invisible slashes flew in. Each one formed an elaborate encirclement. There was no room to escape.

[Just one breath.]

“That’s enough.”

From the season out of season. From the time that has been abandoned. The cold air that seeps in freezes the world.

Just a moment, just one breath.

Time stops in the world.

“… Ah.”

When the world began to move again, Irusia and the Chancellor discovered the swordsman bleeding from his forehead.

‘Okay, okay…! This is ridiculous. It’s not a matter of balance. If this is the case, even if I draw my sword, I’ll win… Ah.’

The heavy sigh of the inspector.

“Haa, so this is what happened in the end… .”

Irusia had a gut feeling. What was she mistaken about? That was the sword master!

Mena stands proudly before the swordsman.

“You thought you’d be okay after doing something like this?”

And finally.

at last.

“Wait a minute, teacher!!! Blood… ”

The swordsman’s hand holds the sword.

“Haa… .”

With a sigh, the world split apart.

***

“… Does that make sense?”

“Whether it makes sense or not, this is definitely true! Woohoo… .”

It was a black dragon that had taken the form of a small girl.

Seed covered his face with his hands. Wrong. There was no way.

Deep despair.

The truth that the black dragon told me was that the current situation was unbelievably the worst.

It is said that there was a prophecy that has now been forgotten by all.

‘The deepest darkness and the brightest light share the same blood.’

Darkness is the Demon King, and light is the Hero. In other words, people thought that the Demon King and the Hero were born from the same bloodline.

A family that heard the prophecy wanted to create a warrior. The method they used was to cultivate demons.

The idea is to nurture a demon in a child of the family, raise him for generations, and eventually make him a Demon King. Then, wouldn’t another child with the same bloodline become a warrior?

In order to cultivate the devil and malice, torture and sadism were repeated for generations on the children of the family.

It was stupid. I heard that if you fall down on the street, you will pick up money. How ridiculous would it be to roll around on the ground all day on purpose?

But that ridiculous idea soon became the family’s long-cherished wish.

Even though the Demon King’s power was something that could not be controlled, if one could obtain the power of a hero, there were endless things one could do.

Depending on how you use it, you could potentially be able to exercise powers rivaling those of a god.

It’s ironic that for hundreds of years they abused children for that purpose, when the only purpose they wanted to use that power to save all the hungry and sick.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck… .”

In any case, the important thing is that Karni was raised as the child of the demon of this generation. The black dragon is the condensation of demons that have been condensed for hundreds of years.

For some reason, the artificial demon that had no sense of self began to feel pity for the child, and the two ran away from their family and lived under fake identities.

and.

-If by any chance, if Karni dies, what will happen to you?

-Of course, he would go crazy and go crazy.

– So they won’t disappear together or anything? From their perspective, it doesn’t matter if you kill them. But if they run wild, it’ll be a hassle to capture them… Hmm.

I couldn’t decide clearly which would be easier: taking Karni alive and taking him with me, or killing him and making a new, obedient child.

… No, there was one solid piece of evidence.

The swordsman tried to kill Karni. This could be seen as the family’s decision to kill Karni.

There is no choice. There is no way to resolve the situation other than through fighting. The sword master must destroy Karni.

Because the name of the family was Sarsberg.

What Sid witnessed when he opened his eyes.
