NOVEL NEXT chapter 197
197 – Him (3)
As I remained silent, the man tapped my shoulder.
“Don’t be discouraged. That certainly doesn’t mean the Demon King or Demon God did a good job.”
In the end, they are also a disaster, killing countless innocent lives.
“Anyway, let’s proceed again.”
The Lord’s trials continue.
The devil appears endlessly. And even drank it.
It is said that the man continued to defeat and fight and overcome.
“Then, at some point, my soul grew big enough to go from the mortal to the transcendent… From the transcendent to the absolute.”
Everything goes according to God’s plan.
And perhaps he decided that the time was right, so he handed over his position and power to me and destroyed himself forever.
“You’re such a bastard.”
“…What can we do? If the person who gave it gets tired of it and there is no one to accept it, they will all die. In the end, they just keep protecting their position as the giver, spouting out all kinds of swear words.”
The lament of a low man.
I suddenly became curious.
“…How did you survive?”
“…Huh?”
“…It must have been incredibly difficult.”
“……”
The man who was looking into my eyes chuckled.
Then, ‘Is there anything special? ‘Same as you,’ she muttered as she continued her sentence.
“It’s obvious. I have something I want to protect.”
“……”
“I’ve been fighting for so long…I guess I don’t have a comrade like you. Furthermore…I have women I love…Well, that’s the story. As a side note, I have over 10 wives alone.”
“…Wow…Mr. If other men hear this, their eyes will shed tears of blood, right?”
“Then what are you doing?”
They are all dead now.
I was silent at the last word.
“…Can’t you put it next to you?”
“…Well, just like you said…If I make up my mind, we can be together forever while continuing to heal the depletion of our souls. But…I saw it with my own eyes.”
The sins of the former main god.
A girl ruined by wrong desires.
“Even if I did that, it would have ended in failure in the end. I don’t want to force the people I love with my greed, and furthermore, I don’t want to hear resentment from them.”
Well, we’ve been friendly with each other for about 1.5 Million years, so that’s enough.
“1.5 Million…”
“Okay, 1.5 Million… Well, I’m very sorry from now on…”
The man scratched her head and looked at me.
“…This is why I called you. Because I…Have reached my limit.”
“…What do you mean?”
“I am slowly becoming a better person just like the previous main lord… What is natural in the first place is that my essence is human after all? No matter how much I have developed a spiritual vessel, I am not perfect like my predecessors. Until now, I have somehow managed to hold on.”
It’s no longer the limit.
I feel it slowly falling apart.
And if I fall, everything will disappear.
From Yukma Station Heaven to the Demon God.
“…So a successor was needed. This is it.”
“Is that me?”
“Yes, it is you.”
“…What the f*ck…”
I spit out all kinds of curses and glared at her man as if he were going to kill him.
This bastard?
You are a victim and you do the same thing to me?
“Big! Anyway, let me explain. However, it is good to find a successor… Just like in Sentai, I could not entrust my power to a being of this world. According to the laws of the world, only an outside being could take the position of the main god. That’s it. The problem starts here. I don’t have the ability to forcibly summon someone like the Sentai Lord.”
That’s why we need a medium.
A passage connecting the world.
They say something like that was necessary.
In a moment, a thought like lightning passes through my head.
“…Is that, by any chance, that bullsh*t novel I read?”
“Ugh, this is the Hero Squadron Academy.”
“Sssss…”
The man explained.
The novel was shown to thousands of people, and those who naturally read it were recorded as candidates.
It is said that among them, the one with the best spirit, growth potential, and size was ultimately selected.
And the story is that, unfortunately, it was me.
“…So you gave it 4.5 Stars out of 10…I didn’t possess you because you found it unpleasant?”
The man looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.
“Of course. No, if I had chosen it because it was disrespectful in the first place, I would have given it 0.5 Points, or I would have forcibly brought in the guy who wrote all kinds of abusive comments, made him TS, and possessed him without even giving him cheats.”
“…Why is TS…”
“Imagine that you suddenly become a woman without knowing anything. And that too with your bare body and no strength in this harsh world. Would you feel good?”
Hmm, hmm.
Hmm… Chew.
It sure looks like a dog.
“I understand.”
“Anyway, I’ve almost explained everything now. It was good to summon you like that, and I thought it would be good to increase the size of your soul because the Appeared at the right time. The problem was… The Demon God was strong.”
I didn’t know this either.
It is the law of the world that I summoned you for the purpose of taking over the position of the Lord God.
In other words, the law of balance is further strengthened.
“Strengthening…?”
“The power of the Has become that much stronger in order to achieve the level of karma that makes you worthy of being a main deity. The problem is that it is so strong that even if you combine all the I have defeated so far, it is no match for you.”
It wasn’t usually strong.
No matter how much I think about it, no matter what cheats I give you, you just can’t win.
To be honest, if I didn’t Myself, I wouldn’t be able to get to the level.
“So…I forced myself to intervene with . It was like foul play, but…I couldn’t ruin it.”
“…Intervention?”
“Forcibly tore one immense power and split it into two.”
“……!!!”
Thoughts swirl through my head like a storm.
I was so shocked that I couldn’t even close my mouth and stuttered.
“…Isn’t it?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s right. Demon God and No-Face. They were divided into two. In other words, No-Face was a part of Demon God from the beginning, unlike the other Six Demons. Only when the two were combined did they become a true Demon God.”
“…There was definitely no chance of winning.”
I recall the two being combined.
The word ‘defeat’ is stuck in my head without any hesitation.
Even if I sacrificed all of my 20,000 years of images, I wouldn’t have been able to win.
“No-Face was too strong here. It was not at the level of the Six Demons. So I erased reason, erased emotions, and left only the feeling of complete emptiness. I set it up to exist only like a machine.”
I thought that in this way, no matter how strong you are, if you improve your skills and take on the challenge, you will be able to win.
“…However…This also became an unexpected variable.”
“…You’re saying that I gained self-esteem through my own blow.”
“Right, to be honest, I don’t know the exact cause of this either. If I had to guess, I think that because you and I are beings that escape the law as we come from a different world, some of that power stimulated No-Face.”
And an additional problem with you arose here.
“…No, what is the problem? Are you the Lord? Why are you so incompetent?”
“You bastard…There was nothing you could do about it! In the first place, all you knew was beating everyone up, so it would be difficult to ask for such a delicate task.”
I heard the guy who farted gets angry.
The company’s actions were exactly the same.
“…So what is it?”
“After pouring all my strength and effort into the Demon God… I didn’t have the energy to take care of you.”
The man said.
Originally, the plan was to give me a chance to choose a unique ability and a ridiculous amount of perks.
“But since I couldn’t do that…I made a rough and rough attempt to hastily create the System. It was also in an incomplete form…There were only a few things I could buy.”
It is said that the snowball started rolling from here.
Based on 1st session.
Originally, we should have grown together on an equal footing with the main four.
Since I received nothing, I naturally fell behind, and my actions naturally began to diverge.
In the end, this led to discord with the protagonists.
Originally, the future would have to overcome trials together with Erina.
I took a completely different route, and after 20 years, I had become emotionally attached to the Group to the point where I could no longer turn back.
“…Of course, I have no intention of blaming you. In the first round…The children committed such a sin that I thought they crossed the line. But in the end, not only you but also the others did not grow enough.”
A hero with a broken heart.
A saint who is addicted to drugs and wants to die.
A great mage whose ego has been shattered by continued misfortune.
Even the Empress of the Cold, with half of her brain blown away, making mental growth impossible.
“…I thought I had failed. It was the end. I couldn’t defeat No-Face, let alone the Demon God. I guess I was wrong. Something that went wrong from the beginning ended up being such a big disaster…I was blaming myself like that.”
So, the moment I die from No Face.
It is said that they tried to take at least the soul and send it back to the original world.
“But I didn’t know…No Face, this bastard…”
He was crazier than I could have imagined.
“…What do you mean?”
“You know that No-Face’s true power is to cross parallel worlds, right? To be exact, it’s the power of the original , But that came with him.”
“Yes…I knew it at first glance…Wait…No way?”
“The moment he gained his identity, he also awakened his . And I don’t know if it was instinct… Or intentional, but I sent you flying into the second world.”
“……”
I looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
Although he said that he was not the one who caused it to regress.
That… No face… You said it was?
“I was stunned. But this was also a second chance for me. I thought it was time to go to another world, so I guided you to the past and gave you all kinds of cheats.”
“…Then the oracle was sent to the three major gods…”
“Approximately around that time. Of course, since it is a different world, the gap in time was larger than expected, so it was said to have been made thousands of years ago… Anyway, I told you everything in the second session… And asked you to take good care of the children who gave you the third generation. I did it.”
The man was confident.
It will take sacrifice, but we will make it this time.
And it happened just as he thought.
“…That’s how…You and I met now.”
“……”
The shocking story has finally come to an end.
I was silent for a while, no, for quite some time.
‘…… After.’
My mind was complicated.
I can feel that the man did his best.
But at the same time, I felt madly resentful.
In the end, all the disasters happened because he chose me.
‘… But… ‘
I guess it means that he has reached his limit to the point where he can even consider that.
For him, my only hope was to walk this path and come this far.
Therefore, we decided to skip it for now.
There are a lot of small questions that I haven’t solved yet and that I’m curious about.
Now we are faced with the most important problem that caused this whole situation.
“…Then can I get it right away?”
“…Huh?”
“The position given to me.”
I looked at the man and spoke again.
“The position was given to me. Can I take it now?”
