Deltan wasn’t stupid enough to quickly grab Jack’s hand.

It was natural.

Favorable attitude, friendly explanations.

Isn’t everything Jack did for the sake of that horse seeking cooperation?

He is only releasing the information necessary for persuasion.

‘I still have a lot of questions.’

I had to figure it out.

“First… .”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Yes, you probably have a lot of questions.”

Jack withdrew his hand.

Are you quick to notice?

Jack shyly lowered his hand and returned with a polite smile on his face before continuing.

“First of all, since Mr. Hebron, the Delta, is bound in the form of a contract, even if he completes the executor, he will not be able to do as he pleases. The hall has entered the relevant information into the contract.”

“What is that?”

“This cannot be mentioned.”

Knock, knock.

Jack tapped his lips.

‘… Is this guy also tied to a promise?’

Well, what I’ve said so far has been in the tone of being taken advantage of by the temple, so it’s only natural.

“But don’t worry. Because I have something ready.”

Jack’s tone exuded confidence.

Deltan didn’t bother to say anything more and changed the topic.

“First of all, a question.”

Let’s do “.”

“What on earth is a devil?”

It was a question I had the whole time.

Since it exists only as a mental body, in order to appear in this world, ideas must be transformed into a physical body.

And that organ becomes the material for the executioner.

More than anything else, they just get killed as the quest continues, and the demons are cooperating with the hall.

Deltan wanted to know why.

“What kind of race are they doing?”

“… It’s a special species.”

“What?”

“Literally a unique species.”

Jack rubbed his chin with a ‘hmm’ and then said that.

“They are paper made by ‘Death’ himself.”

Deltan’s eyes narrowed.

This is already the second time in this short conversation.

While I was pondering that the existence of death might be more important than I thought, Jack added an explanation.

“It is paper made for that purpose in the first place. Moreover, the reason they are not worried about extinction is also in the same context.”

Talk.

Jack said, touching the glass bottle that had overflowed during the previous explanation.

“Devils cannot be exterminated. As long as there is life and they have emotions and the ability to abstract, resurrection is possible anytime, anywhere. This is because they are literally born from ideas. To the devil, death means nothing.”

“… The devil’s royal road?”

“That is an exception.”

Jack smiled and added.

“Only an ‘executioner’ can create the King of Demons. In fact, that’s the only reason the devil helps the Hall. Because they have to fill their throne.”

I have a general understanding.

However, there was still something questionable.

“… Why has the power of chaos returned to the system?”

“The contract is being completed well. I’ll tell you that much.”

“That damn promise?”

“Because of that unfortunate incident.”

Jack didn’t mention the word promise itself.

It seemed like it was a trigger for something.

What else is there to ask?

Deltan tried to think carefully, but time did not allow him.

“… Let’s go now, shall we?”

“I still have something left to ask.”

“No. If you delay too much, the hall will be suspicious.”

“What?”

When Jack stood up, the sofa he was sitting on disappeared.

“The reason I was able to come here is because I am the only one who can save you from the dimensional gap. In other words, I had no choice but to spend a day that even the hall could not believe. So, if we wait longer than this, the other side will realize that we are plotting a conspiracy.”

I never said I would join in on the plot.

“For now, I will explain the rest as I go.”

Deltan immediately stood up.

‘He’s taking a favorable stance towards me right now.’

There was no reason not to follow along here.

Just-

Jack snapped his fingers and the space turned black again.

And a white path appeared on the floor.

Jack said as he walked away.

“Approximately 10 minutes. That will take some time.”

“Did you say it was a trial?”

“Yes, actually, the trial itself is funny. They are upset that you interfered with providence through your own power.”

Providence.

It seemed like it was calling for the magic of the 5th level.

Deltan let out a laugh.

“They are scared bastards.”

“That’s exactly right.”

“Why can’t I use level 5 magic?”

Jack stopped walking.

When he turned his head, there was a hint of playfulness on his face.

“If you interfere with providence, the contract can be modified.”

Deltan’s steps also stopped.

There was something strange in his eyes.

‘This is good information.’

Unconventionally released.

Are you really an ally?

‘… No, just be a little more cautious for now.’

Deltan composed himself.

“Okay, I understand up to that point.”

“It’s good because it’s fast.”

Jack walked again.

The gait was quite slow, but it seemed to the Deltan that he was being considerate of Agnes’ body.

“Even if it is a trial, there is nothing to worry about. The hall wants one thing. Making yourself say that you won’t use level 5 magic.”

“Do the words themselves have power?”

“Oh, you know right away.”

How could you not know?

Isn’t that true when you look at the hall’s appearance so far?

promise, contract.

The entire hall was very attached to that notion.

“Keep in mind.”

“Good. Since you are a smart person, I believe you will take care of this, and the following is my policy after I return.”

“Tell me.”

“First, gather all the materials for the contract. I’ll give you a hint about the remaining ingredients so it’s not too late.”

“The martyr’s breath is the remains of a dragon. Is that right?”

“You know.”

It’s confirmed.

Deltan clenched his fists.

“What is the giant’s blessing?”

“Eastern Mirage Mountains. It is the land of different races. You will have to find the detailed location yourself.”

“Okay, what is Ergoragia’s purity?”

“As you know, it belongs to the devil. But I don’t know either. This is the first time I have written a new contract since becoming a member of the hall.”

“… Do you only know about the devil?”

“Because the devil is outside the control of the hall.”

It must be a state of cooperation.

What followed thereafter was a variety of information that Deltans had not known before.

Deltan walked along, taking everything in mind, and eventually arrived.

“Now, this is the entrance to the court hall.”

At the end of the pure white road was a huge door.

It was shaped like a castle gate, and the carved carvings on it were similar to the Renaissance style known to Deltans.

“It’s old, right?”

“I have better taste than the devils.”

Jack giggled.

And then he said it jokingly:

“Okay then, shall we go meet him? The pan-dimensional Illuminati.”

Illuminati.

Deltan chuckled at the thought that it was a pretty fitting analogy.

Kugugoogung-

The door to the hall opened.

*

The ceiling is very high.

The panorama revealed below was like a university lecture hall.

There is one podium, and in front of it is a long table divided into tiers.

At first glance, there were over a hundred people at the table, and all of them were shaking in black silhouette.

‘I guess they don’t want to reveal their identity.’

Divine beings from each dimension.

There had to be a spirit king that I had seen before somewhere out there.

Deltan looked around again.

The podium is the seat of the criminal who will stand before the judge.

The people sitting are the members of this hall and the jurors.

“I brought you.”

Jack bowed his head.

His face was exactly like that of someone who had disappeared.

‘… Is this a concept?’

I wondered if he had been hiding it, and it seemed to be like this.

Jack gestured.

It meant heading to the podium.

Deltan climbed onto the podium without saying a word.

“Then the trial will begin.”

Society seemed to be seen by Jack.

“Sinner Delta Hebron. Deviation from providence. The usual verdict is eternal death. First, considering the uniqueness of being a contractor and the force majeure situation at the time, the interim ruling was concluded with a suspension of guilt and fulfillment of the ‘promise’. Do you have any differing opinions?”

There was not a single disagreement.

It seemed like everything had already been said.

Knock, knock.

Deltan thought as he tapped his thigh with his index finger.

‘I’ll give it a try soon.’

Now, it was my turn to risk my life and achieve the purpose I came here for.

Deltan spoke loudly.

“Who decides what they want?”

The hall was in an uproar.

*

To tell the truth, it was like that.

To some extent, Deltan expected that the magic of the 5th level was the door that connected to the hall.

After all, if you think about it, the interface was a directive from the hall, and wasn’t the warning issued when their feelings were offended?

In other words, even if it is not in the form of a trial, it is obvious that they will approach the moment the 5th level is used.

This situation was what I thought about with that in mind.

Jack’s eyes wavered.

It seemed like a question as to what he was doing now.

Deltan snorted.

‘Take notice?’

That’s not even funny.

At least as far as the Deltans knew, there was no reason for them to care.

“… Hebron, the Delta.”

“What.”

Deltan said, remembering that Jack’s stern tone did not suit him.

“The subject has been thrown into the game and played as he pleases, and now he won’t be able to do what he wants? These fucking bastards.”

Some of the black silhouettes were shaking.

Should I also say that it’s amazing that he doesn’t make a sound in the meantime?

Deltan chuckled.

“Did I say something wrong? The 5th level is a level that I have penetrated and completed on my own. What are you people saying?”

Of course, it was not completely finished.

The 5th level magic could only be used in a limited way because its mechanisms could not be fully understood even with the aid of a compass.

To be honest, I wasn’t even confident that I would succeed the second time.

But still.

That wasn’t important right now.

Deltan had a plan in mind ever since he had the idea of being able to connect to the hall.

“You have no power or power to force my actions. Because I don’t belong to you guys.”

Added provocation.

Only then did someone react.

[…] Hebron, the Delta. Do you look down on providence?]

One of the jurors, the one in the middle, spoke.

It was difficult to distinguish because the voice was noisy.

[Providence is a force that should not be treated carelessly. The power wielded by an individual’s judgment can cause chaos in the entire dimension.]

“So what should I do?”

[I will not force you to take any other actions. So promise not to use the power of providence.]

It was exactly as I heard from Jack.

Deltan closed his eyes and organized his thoughts.

A plan I had before coming here.

And the information I’ve heard through Jack since I came.

If you put it all together, one thing can be known.

“… You’re cocky.”

[Cheeky… ?]

“I think you guys are mistaken.”

It was a very pleasant fact.

“It’s you who are in urgent need, not me. contract. Aren’t you asking me to do it because I’m the only one who can make it?”

The transcendental people are agitated again.

It was in the form of billowing black smoke, and the reaction was quite immediate, so Deltan felt pleased.

“Did you do it so blatantly and hope that I wouldn’t know?”

The facts related to Jack are hidden.

And achieve the purpose.

“The reason I came here is not to listen to that kind of talk.”

Deltan smiled crookedly.

The smile that pulled up one corner of his mouth slightly caused nasolabial folds to appear.

As expected, since it was done with Agnes’ body, an awkward gap existed on her face.

“Add life to this body. I came here knowing that I could do it, so don’t even think about quitting. What on earth are you supposed to do with two days?”

[that… .]

“Okay, deal. promise. It’s important.”

I just happened to have a good hand.

“So, if you add more life, I will promise you one too.”

Deltan pointed to the jurors.

“What you guys want. He said he would listen.”

Of course, I just said ‘what I want’.

It was not a direct statement that the 5th rank would not be used.

‘Completion of contract. ‘You want that, right?’

It is an ambiguous statement.

Deltan didn’t give him a chance to point it out.

“I think you’re mistaken, so I’ll say it again.”

“Deltain Heb… .”

“Only I can create a contract. therefore… .”

He pointed to himself with his hand.

“… I am the boss. You idiots.”
