Two months.

A time that felt fast to some and slow to others has passed.

Coincidentally, the date of the decisive battle was December 25th.

Berador, facing the gate to the divine world, looked back.

Master, Professor Jan, Mother, and Reece, who knew the truth, were looking at him with expressions of uneasiness.

He too is not without anxiety knowing that there is a high possibility of losing, but he has shaken off that feeling for now.

“Don’t worry. Because I will be back.”

“.. That’s how it should be.”

The smile of a mother who still harbors anxiety.

The image overlapped with my mother in my past life.

Berador opened his eyes and entered the gate, shouting loudly.

“I’ll be back!”

A 15-year-old boy entering the gate.

So he set off on a week-long trip to change his fate.

God was the first to appear before his eyes.

“.. Eros?”

It was none other than Eros.

“.. Don’t go. If you go, you will die..”

The atmosphere has changed a lot.

*

Die.

That was Berador’s top thought as December approached.

Three months of training to kill God.

Only 3 months.

Although he became strong enough to transcend his race, he could not gain the upper hand in the battle against the gods.

What Berador should aim for are variables.

I don’t remember exactly, but I’ve tried killing people before.

Now we have been able to create some of the power we had back then.

-Swaaah

Using God’s mana.

When he saw Jeong Yong-ha again in the past, Eros, who was blocking Berador, opened his eyes wide and his hands trembled as if he was suffering from a tremor.

He was looking at Eros indifferently.

After thinking alone for a while, Eros suppressed his overflowing emotions and chose reason.

“Still.. I can’t go. I can never let you go.”

“Get out of the way.”

“.. No.. no way.”

Although his reason was only shaken by a single word from Berador, he did not move aside.

The current location is the residence of Eros.

Traveling to and from this place was solely under the authority of Eros.

“Then what should we do? Just die?”

Berador’s voice toward Eros, who was blocking his path, was colder than ever.

Eros’ head was slightly lowered in surprise.

And then a trembling voice was heard.

“.. Porridge.. Yeo..”

“What?”

Berador frowned and asked back at the subtle voice.

Eros, biting his lip to make it invisible, looked at him and widened his eyes.

“Day! Kill me.”

The corners of both wide-open eyes were stained red, and a single tear flowed down.

Perhaps because he was excited, his body was shaking without even breathing.

And Berador, who heard those words, frowned even more in order to understand the intention of what he had just heard.

‘I’m sure something happened to Eros.’

Otherwise, Eros, who was always pretending to be a pretender, would not make such a statement.

From saying kill me.

I think I also know that I can only increase my life by killing gods.

No matter how much I thought about it, the only intention was to help.

why..?

As Berador continued to think, only one question arose in his mind.

I understand that Eros is trying to help him.

But why?

I don’t know why.

I know to some extent that I had a connection with my past self.

But for just that reason, a person called God is ruined to such an extent?

I couldn’t understand.

Unless you completely change your mind.

Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible without going crazy.

Let’s stay still and think that the latter is more likely than the former.

Eros, who could not stand it anymore, approached closer.

I was annoyed at Eros for confusing me.

I crossed my arms to indicate that I wouldn’t even respond to whatever she did.

Eros made up his mind and did not stop his actions.

“It’s not as bad as Zeus, but if you kill me, you will be able to restore the average human lifespan.”

“…”

“And.. other gods except the Goddess of Peace cannot intervene in this world.”

“…”

“Again.. again…”

Maybe it was because he decided not to kill himself because of his suspicions.

Eros continues to explain why he wants to kill himself.

The action was subtle, but it felt like madness.

Berador, who thought it would never end like this, gripped the handle of his sword so hard that it felt like it would break.

-Grumbling

Eros closes his eyes when he sees the sword drawn out with a sharp sound.

There seemed to be no trace of regret left on her face.

Berador drew his sword and swung it without saying a word.

A sword that filtered the air.

-Kwakagak!

It got stuck deep into the floor.

Eros’ eyes, which had been closed at the unexpected sound of destruction, opened, and there was hidden regret that was not revealed on his face.

“Why am I killing you?”

Eros’ eyes widened as if he had heard something completely unexpected.

Berador, who actually said that, looked at Eros strangely.

Berador’s goal was Zeus.

It may have been Eros at first, but now the question of why he did what he did was greater than the desire for revenge.

Now, when I look at this, it seems like there is some reason why I didn’t do it for no reason or because I was bored.

It was frustrating that they didn’t tell me the reason, but it wasn’t enough to make me feel bad.

It’s not that there is no hostility at all, but there is no murderous intent.

Just about that much.

“.. You really.. till the end..”

“Just get out of the way. Let’s talk more later.”

In the meantime, Berador is clasping his hands together as if he’s happy and waving his hands around as if he’s annoyed by Eros, who is filled with emotion.

But no one stepped aside.

“.. That’s not possible.”

“It’s the starting point again.”

A conversation flow that has fallen into an infinite loop like a Möbius strip.

As Berador sighed in frustration, Eros made a new suggestion.

“.. I can’t do it alone. Then.. come with me.”

“Hmm?”

Eros, seeing Berador frowning, began to appeal to him.

“Even though I look like this, I am still a god. Since he is the god of the beginning, he is stronger than other gods. It will definitely help. Again..”

Berador, who was just listening in silence, pointed out the biggest contradiction when Eros hesitated in his words.

“.. But you are God.”

God cooperates with humans to kill God.

What would happen if this reached the ears of another god?

Ostracism.

Or death.

Just two come to mind.

I didn’t think Eros would be unaware of such a severe penalty.

“.. It doesn’t matter.”

But Eros’ will was not broken that much.

“I realized that there is something scarier than dying.”

“.. Is that so.”

Berador scratched the back of his head at the pitiful tone of his words, like a child who had just lost his parents.

‘Anyway, I have to go to the God Realm, and to do that, I have to get out of here…’

There is no other way.

Berador let out a deep sigh toward the floor, dusted the hand that had been scratching the back of his head on his clothes, and held it out towards Eros.

“Let’s go.”

“.. Really?”

“I want to go.”

When I first saw him, I thought he was just a psychopath, but he was a god who could cry like this.

Berador swallowed what he wanted to say, grabbed Eros’ hand, and let go as soon as Eros got up.

“Ah..”

Eros’ regretful sighs were heard, but they were not that important.

The important thing now is Zeus in the god world.

I’m going to kill him.

“Let’s go right away.”

“Okay.”

-match!

The gate appeared in front of us with the sound of Eros applauding.

Unlike Professor Jeanne’s, which was shaped like a undulating circle, Eros’ Gate was shaped like an elaborate door.

As I was looking at it curiously, Eros smiled brightly.

“Go quickly.”

“.. Yes.”

I’m sure he’s much older.

I felt like I was taking my annoying cousin out to play.

*

After crossing the gate, we arrived at a place a little far from the New World.

The current Earth is different from the Earth that Berador knew in the past.

The Earth used to consist of six continents and five oceans, but now only one supercontinent and small islands remain.

Yes, like Pangea.

The supercontinent was the New World, and the place we came down to was a small island nearby.

Despite this, a huge wave of mana was felt in the God Realm.

At first I mistook it for an attack, but realized it after a while.

Giving out that much mana is just everyday life.

It was a moment when I suddenly realized what kind of existence God was.

“It’s okay. Berador.”

Eros wrapped his hand around Berador’s clenched fist.

“There is no need to be afraid of that kind of mana.”

Eros muttered softly and whispered into Berador’s ear.

“That mana can’t harm you anyway.”

Berador, who was startled by the whispering sound and took a step back, asked Eros who was far away.

“.. What does that mean?”

But Eros smiled playfully and pretended not to notice.

“Well? What do you mean?”

Berador, who was about to ask again, kept his mouth shut.

Because it was clear that Eros would not be taught in that state anyway.

If I want to say it myself, I will say it again.

“Are you going to make a surprise attack right away? Or do you want to wait until night? I would recommend waiting until night.”

“.. Then at night..”

“Then what should we do while waiting until then?”

When I left this morning, I thought I would be fighting a lonely battle alone in the God Realm.

It was an unexpected addition of chatter.

Thanks to this, I was able to wait until night without getting bored, and the sun set and the moon rose.

He stretched the cheek of Eros, who was dozing off on his shoulder.

“Ouch..”

“Now let’s go.”

The decisive battle for which we had been preparing for half a year is just around the corner.
