After confirming my memory, Isabel turned pale.

“···What is that?”

“There is a reason I didn’t tell you.”

The country will be like that too.

What if something wakes up in a tumor taken from someone else’s brain?

‘But why wasn’t I surprised?’

It was funny.

“···Dantalian knows what that is?”

“······It’s called ‘angel.’ I don’t know what that is.”

Isabelle doesn’t seem to know what it is.

However, he seemed to have lost his mind after seeing my expression.

“Sihyeon, you seem to know what an angel is.”

It looks like he’s threatening to not let me check again.

“Angel is the god of the place where I lived. ···Similar to a servant.”

However, they do not show themselves to people.

Is that why?

People changed from theism to humanism.

“···How is the god of that world here?”

“Wouldn’t Dantalian know that?”

Interference between different worlds must not occur.

In that case, a war of conquest between the gods will begin.

Worse yet, the god of a planet that was created 30,000 years ago is against Earth?

The fragments of doubt that had been fragmented in my mind were combined into one.

“Do you remember what the prophet of the Ino-Ema Sutra said?”

“The vision said that the world would be destroyed.”

“The root snake told me. They say the gods are reluctant to allow souls to cross this world.”

And Dantalian spoke to me.

“Didn’t Dantalian tell me too? ···I will send you home. Please ask Maal.”

“Are you going to go home?”

“Of course not! What I mean is…”

‘What happens when I go back?’

In that case, the situation changes dramatically.

I don’t know what tactics they use.

However, if you send it, it may come.

Dantalian and Maal are also fundamentally gods of the Earth.

Moreover, an angel arrived in front of me yesterday.

For some reason, the angel was interested in me.

“······It seems like an angel is targeting me.”

And when my body is taken over by an angel, Earth and Pangea will be connected for some reason.

The reason is, of course, ‘soul’.

Just as medieval England invaded the world for gold, the God of Earth invades Pangea for souls.

‘They say the drill fish has no soul.’

Neptune said that the drill fish was a creature created to eat eggs.

─What if there is life on Earth without a soul?

The soul that the soul creates is a miraculous material and a limited resource.

It may be that the total number of living creatures is increasing, but there is no soul to permeate.

‘They said Pangea would be destroyed.’

The soul has attractive power.

What if Pangea is reduced to ashes and only one soul lands on Earth?

─The soul deflation of the Earth is resolved.

But I still couldn’t understand.

‘I’m not from Earth.’

I used to think so, but not anymore.

There is no connection between me and the Earth.

But why are you looking for me?

“The servants don’t seem to be able to distinguish between angels.”

“···You can’t tell angels apart?”

“Otherwise there is no way the dragon and Dantalian would collaborate.”

As soon as the dragon heard my voice, it burst its tumor.

If I had known, I would have exploded the moment the angel was removed from Gusteau’s brain.

‘Why didn’t you tell me this important fact?’

All the common sense and assumptions I had built up crumble.

Thanks to this, I had a severe headache.

“···It is said that there are angels who hold their breath, pretending to receive a blessing from a servant.”

“Is that possible?”

“Yes. It looks like that.”

But some I still couldn’t understand.

“···There are so many things I don’t understand.”

“Which one?”

─Everything.

There were so many that it made my head ache.

“Why didn’t the servants warn about the angel?”

“I don’t know why the angels didn’t attack me before I realized it.”

“···Isn’t it because Sihyeon is Dantalian’s agent?”

Isabel’s opinion was valid.

But I don’t know why they exposed me to an external threat.

This was my first time feeling like my head was clogged like this.

“If I received a prophecy and the future was set, it would have been confirmed the moment I transferred my authority to my wife.”

The moment Dantalian left my side, the servants were able to read me.

That’s probably why he doesn’t fuss and meddle like before.

I glanced at Isabelle.

“···What doesn’t Dantalian say?”

“Yes. I’m not answering.”

But it seemed like he didn’t understand the meaning.

He respects his agent.

If I say no, I do it, but I don’t stay silent.

That meant I couldn’t answer.

‘Why?’

There is also a possibility that the other party is ‘eavesdropping’ on a global scale.

For example, Lexi hears sounds from the whole world, but that doesn’t mean she can accept all sounds.

There must be a ‘keyword’ that you know or keep an eye on.

Even more so, other planets beyond the sound.

“···If you say, think of, or explain a certain word, the other person may notice it.”

Then the servants can understand the silence.

Even Isabel remains silent at my conclusion.

The atmosphere became heavy.

‘······How do I say this?’

If you tell Isabelle to go to Romaria with you right now, you’ll be beaten.

Why would you say something like that in these times?

It was clear that no matter when I asked, he would get angry.

However, moving the Golden Road General Branch to Horus was important.

Without their help, the funds or materials needed for railroad construction cannot be supplied.

‘Let’s talk later.’

Or ask someone else to do it.

“···What else are you hiding?”

“······!”

Before I knew it, Isabelle was glaring at me.

With the intention of killing one person.

“···I’m going to tell you, so can you please stop staring at me like that?”

“You tried to hide it again.”

I was upset because I felt like I was being interrogated.

Even though it’s my karma, isn’t it too harsh?

“···I have something to see in Romeria.”

“So?”

“Because I needed someone to help me, I was going to ask you to come with me.”

Isabelle looked at me sullenly.

“But in this situation, isn’t your wife busy? So it was a car I was about to give up on.”

I’m asking you a favor.

But Isabel stubbornly looks straight into my eyes.

“You’re saying you won’t go, right?”

“···No.”

“I’m out of my mind─?!”

Thanks to this, her anger was clearly engraved in my mind.

‘···Pretty people are pretty even when they’re angry.’

Isabel wrinkles her eyebrows strangely.

I know what I felt, but what can I do? All men do that.

“This is what I did, and these are the people who only trust and wait for me. One has already died, and tens of thousands of people are working on Golden Road.”

“Never. Don’t even think about it.”

“I have to go.”

“······Where?”

The calm voice gave me chills.

The identity of the voice was Shir.

Since when has he been watching me from behind the door?

Shir approaches, smiling brightly and transparently.

“···Since when has it been there?”

“From earlier. My sister told me to go because it wasn’t that bad.”

“···What about Shii?”

“There’s nothing we can do because one of us can’t leave the room.”

Then it circled around me.

Nodding his head with a nasal voice as if he understood.

“···I almost heard the whole story.”

All keen senses turned to Shir.

Shir was crazy.

Beyond being abnormally obsessed, he even eats.

If I were to fail, they might cut off my arms and legs and kidnap me.

“A servant of Earth called an angel is targeting you.”

“You go back to another world.”

“Pangaea is destroyed.”

“And yet you still want to go do your job?”

Lies are poison.

Therefore, I had no choice but to voice my true feelings.

“···Yes.”

Shir, who was spinning around, hugged my neck from behind.

“That’s right. Because you have no thoughts.”

Strength went into my wrapped arms.

In that state, the body of Shir, who was lying on the bed, was taken away.

“I’m not angry. You were never given a chance to think.”

Shir hugs me as if he were holding a doll.

“A kid who didn’t know anything fought a soldier. Afterwards, we fight Immortal, a monster that only appears in books. Next, the dark side of the world that brainwashes people. Next, with the God of War. And now even the gods of other worlds who will destroy this world.”

The way the hand hugs me feels like it is measuring my size.

“Yes. The reason you don’t have any thoughts is because you know you’re sure to lose.”

Soon, Shir placed his hand on my heart.

“If you think about it a little, you will know. But you throw yourself. Because I won’t die.”

“It eventually became inertia. Because I can’t jump if I think about it.”

“···It was all to protect us.”

When I glanced up, Shir’s eyes were hollow.

“So, think about it now.”

“I’m thinking it through.”

“······It wasn’t like this before.”

That moment.

I felt as if my body was getting smaller.

My body becomes heavy and I lose strength.

“The power I gave you ruined you.”

Before I knew it, I had become lower than Isabel.

“So, let’s go back to the beginning.”

“What are you talking about?”

···The voice is clear.

Isabelle’s eyes were wide open.

“I went back to before I met my aunt.”

…You turned me back to 14?

In the reflected mirror, ‘Lian’ was being held by Shir.

“If you run, you will be out of breath and your body will be tired. The wound doesn’t heal.”

“···Why do you do that? Also in this situation.”

Shir’s hands are heavy.

I couldn’t even push the light limbs that were tied together.

“If Dantalian’s power stole the ability to communicate from you, then Venus’ power stole rational judgment from you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know?”

Shir’s eyes in the mirror turned towards me.

“Even if you get hurt, you won’t die, and your body is stronger than Hosott even if you don’t train it. Thanks to my blood, I don’t even need to sleep.”

“So you really have to do it like this?”

Shir holds me in his arms like a doll.

Then it turned around and burned me.

“Are you upset? You were born human.”

“······!”

Shir smiled at the look in my eyes.

“···That’s what I wanted. Please know that the world is scary.”

Then he crushed me with just his little finger.

But I couldn’t even push that finger away.

‘Because Shir is Hosot and I am human.’

It had been a very long time since I felt this physical helplessness.

I wasn’t in a good mood so I avoided eye contact.

Shirr laughs mischievously at the declaration of surrender.

” It was really cute this time. Isn’t that right?”

Shir raised his head and looked at Isabelle.

Isabelle, who was looking at me in fascination, caught Shir’s gaze a moment later.

“Sihyeon, I think your aunt likes that look too. Do you want to live like that for the rest of your life?”

“Oh, no!”

Isabel looked at me and waved her hand furiously.

Take a moment to laugh at that.

“We do this work.”

He made a proposal that was difficult to understand.

“···We?”

“In the end, it’s because of us that Shihyun’s personality was ruined.”

Shir smiles and traces his finger over my lips.

“So we have to take responsibility.”

In the end, they say they will help.

but.

‘If you want to help, just help.’

Why bother making people into children?

Thanks to this, I became very grumpy.

“Then why did I make it like this?”

“I’m asking you to reflect. And of course you will go too.”

“What? They say it’s dangerous?”

“Do we know what to do and how to do it?”

Shir says as if he is dumbfounded.

With a look that seems natural.

“We will do whatever you tell us.”
