The moment Armadi breathed his power into the cross, the hidden lines began to reveal themselves.

The object that the Pope intended to give Armadi as a gift at the end of his plan.

Something he had been preparing for his entire life.

This necklace, which was set aside to restore her power after she was thrown to the earth to end the age of myth, is an object made from the blood of countless people, and it is also something that Armadi, who has lost his authority, can only look on helplessly.

It is impossible to appease the sorrow of those who were sacrificed now.

As her saint had said before, it would be one of the sins that Armadi would have to bear for eternity.

I know that, but at least this miracle gives meaning to their sacrifice.

I hope that their names will remain in this world, even if only a little.

As Armadi raised his hands in earnest prayer, the light created by Lucy became bright and gods appeared one by one in the sky.

Those who fought on the side of the gods during the age of mythology, and now stand on this earth to defeat the evil gods.

“A bunch of rabble gathered together.”

Agra was calm even when facing them. Her tone was filled with confidence that she could handle that level of power on her own.

“How strange. After seeing their incompetence in the past, did you still think of relying on them?”

“You, who have been defeated alone in the past, do you think you will win now?”

“Of course. Because the end is coming. The beginning and the end of the world are unchangeable rules. This world has already lost its power. What meaning can there be in a world that will disappear!”

Agra found confidence in his own power. No matter how much the cursed being before him struggled, he could not change its predetermined end.

“You know one thing, but not the other.”

“Me? What don’t I know?”

“It is true that if there is a beginning there will be an end, but it is also true that if there is an end there will be a beginning.”

The world we live in today is the world that Armadi started, and it is the world where she is at the center.

So, the reason this world is heading towards its end is because the power of the god Armadi is reaching its limit.

The solution to this is simple.

A new god must announce the beginning of a new world.

“Just as you’ve been waiting for this moment, I’ve been waiting for this moment too.”

Agra, seeing Armadi’s smile, tried to unleash his power, but there were too many things blocking his way to stop Armadi right away.

Humans. Fairies. Gods. Believers. They all stood in his way to prevent the end of the world.

Armadi turned his head to the side in the confusion that arose from the clash of their wills and intentions and cautiously approached Lucy.

“My apostle.”

“…What is this? You gave me a bad name.”

“Do you know? How to make a new beginning in this world.”

If it were anyone else, they would have tilted their head in confusion at Jushin’s words, but not Lucy.

If Lucy had knowledge of worlds other than this one, and if she had thought and pondered countless times about what would happen next in this world, she would certainly be able to announce the beginning of a new era.

Lucy laughed at Armadi’s expectations and held out her hand.

*

The moment I heard Armadi’s words, I understood what he wanted to say.

There’s only one reason why this idiot mentioned my name.

If Agra is going to gain power as the game nears its end, then it’s time to breathe new life into the game.

Hahaha! Who would have thought that I would be able to see the words I had been longing for so much on the other side of the monitor here.

really.

really.

It’s ridiculous.

That’s so fun.

“Can I do whatever I want?”

“If you promise to make it as hopeful as possible.”

“Do you think I’m a pervert like you? I can tell that much, right?”

“For that matter, the dungeon you created was quite terrifying.”

“Pfft. What? What you made was terrible too?”

“Because it was a place that no one but you thought of.”

“…Really?”

Was it because it was set up to the standards of rotten water from the beginning that it ended up like that?

When I laughed and held out my hand after hearing the surprising truth, Armadi smiled back and grabbed my hand.

Her hands, which retained the softness they had when she was born, made me relax just by holding them.

“Are you used to handling power?”

“You’re being unreasonable. Of course I know that.”

The power of God sounds scary because it sounds so grandiose, but in reality, it’s more like taking advantage of the power.

It’s like saying, “I want this, so you who likes me must do this.”

Having experienced this so many times while fighting with the Pope, I nodded with a smile, but then stopped when a worry suddenly occurred to me.

“Are you sure you don’t have to use some weird alien language like you did outside?”“Are you looking that way?”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course not.”

I looked at Agra surrounded by countless people, sharing my strength with light laughter, and recalled memories of the past.

And then he nodded.

The world I hoped for back then and the world I hope for now are different.

The DLC for Soul Academy that I want is.

In the future of Soul Academy.

In the future, in the world where I, my family, my friends, my acquaintances, and countless other precious people will live, there will be no need for suffering.

“How.”

A voice full of bewilderment was heard from far away.

“How can one have the power of beginning?”

Even amidst the countless attacks directed at her, Agra’s eyes were focused solely on me.

“Even if you are a being chosen by God, there is no way that such a thing is possible.”

The corners of my mouth naturally went up at the sight of those eyes that seemed to be seeing something that I could not accept with my own understanding.

“No way. Armadi. Four years!”

“What is it?♡ What is it?♡ Why do you look like you’ve been betrayed?♡”

He raised his voice as if to block out the cries of Agra.

Agra, who had never paid attention to me before, was different this time.

His eyes, filled with bewilderment, simply could not turn away from me.

“Ahh!♡ It was unrequited love?♡ So innocent♡ It seems the evil spirit at the end must protect his virginity until the end~♡”

Agra frowned and reached out his hand towards me, but I only laughed and did not respond to him at all.

Because even if it wasn’t me, there were people who would have stopped me.

The masters of the forest. The fairies. The knights of the kingdom. The company of warriors. The people of Aln. The sword. Benedick. Arthur. Frey. Phoebe. Zoe. And Armadi, who is now standing next to me, I believed that they would protect me.

“Hahahaha!♡ Heheheehehehehehe~♡”

I turned my back to Armadi, who had a complicated expression on his face, and lowered my eyes, but didn’t say anything.

Anyway, there will be plenty of time to have a serious conversation with her.

“Can I do it now?”

“Have you finished thinking already?”

“This is a new world. I just need to demand the future I want. Since it’s the power that chose a pervert like you. Of course you’ll listen to what I have to say.”

“What kind of future do you envision?”

“As you can see, I am a kind and compassionate person. I will give all the scum of the world a chance to step on my feet.”

This world is a game, but it’s not a game.

So, there is no need for a protagonist who goes through hardships and grows, no need for the many crises that the protagonist experiences, and no need for the crises that are lurking in the world.

“I don’t quite understand. Could you explain it to me more easily?”

Oops. I’ve started talking nonsense again, out of habit.

I’ve been living like this for so long that nothing has changed.

I shrugged my shoulders with a hollow laugh, then collected my expression and placed my hand on my chest.

“I hope everyone is happy at the end.”

The moment I whispered my earnest wish to the light within me, the light that bloomed in my heart rose high into the sky.

At that moment, the sun I had created shattered and scattered its light across the world. I don’t know for sure, but did something change?

“This can’t be happening!”

I turned my head to follow the shouting and saw Agra losing its authority.

“How could this happen! Damn Armadi!”

Behind them, there was an army of monsters disintegrating into ashes and an army of humans staring blankly at the monsters disappearing as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Ha! That’s right! This is your year of struggle! Alright! Go ahead and struggle as much as you want! But you won’t be able to stop the end that will come in the end!”

Armadi approached Agra, who was gradually losing strength, and wiped away the spit Agra had spat on him as if it was nothing, then slightly bent down and met his gaze.

“Let him be buried underground and howl for hundreds of years. His voice will never reach me.”

“Armadiy …

That was the end of it.

Agra, who was gradually losing strength, disappeared from the world as suddenly as he had appeared.

The miracle of Armadi brought peace to this land.

– Tiring!

I turned my head to the familiar notification sound and a blue window appeared.

[Quest Clear!]

[You have succeeded in saving the world from crisis.]

[This world has gained a new future entirely thanks to you.]

“Thank you very much, my apostle.”

Following Armadi’s voice, the blue spear collapsed and scattered into the air.

“You have suffered greatly at the call of this incompetent man. Now your mission is over.”

I approached Armadi, who was bending down, grabbed her by the collar and pulled her towards me.

There were gasps of breath all around us, but no one intervened between us.

It’s as if the space where the two of us stand is separate.

“If you were thinking of ending it with a thank you, I’d be really mad?”

“Do you have any wishes?”

“Of course. I’ve suffered so much because of you, a sloppy, incompetent, perverted bastard.”

“If there is anything you wish for, please tell me. I will give you anything I can give you.”

“Really?”

There were many things that came to mind.

The moment I met Armadi, I imagined dozens of ways he would torment me.

But that was later.

What I needed to ask and what I needed to ask for right away had been decided long ago.

“Tell me. Who am I?”

“In every sense, Lucy Allen. My apostle.”

“Then shouldn’t the title be changed? Mama.”

“…That’s right. I made a mistake. Lucy. Please forgive me.”

“If you hug me, I’ll forgive you. Because I’m good.”

“Thank you for your generosity. Please excuse me for a moment.”

I was in Armadi’s arms, Mama, and buried my face in her shoulder.

“Black!”

I didn’t want to show my current face to others.
