chapter 222
222 – 223. The True Master.
“As expected, he chose the apostle himself. He even managed to find the place where he was.”
I’m surprised.
But don’t panic.
God is a noble being.
Although it has failed, its essence cannot be hidden.
Therefore, Leah looked down haughtily and held out the squite in her hand.
“But you haven’t realized it yet.”
The one who was once a god fell and
A person who was once human is trying to climb.
Even if the results between the two are similar, there is an unbridgeable gap between them.
“Ignorance without understanding anything even after experiencing it once. Even if you are the owner of the woman, you cannot hide your foolish nature.”
It’s a pity. It’s so sad.
However, what can be done if it is an ‘instinct’ that one was born with?
Like a blade of grass blooms and falls
Like being born meaningless and dying worthless
In the end, you are also an ‘inevitable’ being.
“Don’t worry. Ignorance is not a sin.”
Squitte’s blade trembles, emitting a dreary light.
“But remember.”
Helplessness soon becomes sin.
Leah swung Squite.
Empty space. An attack that will never reach.
However, the ‘future’ of ‘being hit by a scythe and being cut down’ has already been confirmed.
It is impossible to avoid.
The future, which had already been decided, had no choice but tore apart Chrono’s body.
“…Is it all over?”
“Hah… ?”
I had to tear it apart.
It was definitely that ‘future’.
A confirmed future.
A future that can never be repaired and cannot be rewritten.
But why is that guy still standing there?
“So now it’s my turn?”
“…You used a strange magic trick.”
The owner, Chrono, always exceeds his expectations.
If you look at it in a good sense, it could be seen that its owner became brute forcefully strong and had excellent growth potential.
However, the bad meaning is that the timing is now.
‘But that’s okay.’
It’s all good.
No matter how hard you struggle, hex is hex.
In the end, you have to kneel before true power.
“It is also the right of the weak to struggle. I will not stop that.”
But struggling and resisting is the same as showing that you are ready to be oppressed.
Leah attacked Chrono again.
This time, rather than cutting down the ‘future’, the attack combined the ‘present’.
Approach directly and defeat Chrono.
The distance narrows quickly. Soon, the day of Squitte approaches Chrono.
─Kiiiiig!
“?”
Squitte’s blade does not reach.
An attack that is right in front of your eyes and cannot be reached by a single layer of skin.
A distance that can be reached at any moment. However, Leah was taken aback by the distance that never narrowed.
‘What the hell…’
What happened?
It confirmed the future where Chrono would be cut and torn apart by a scythe.
He went up and tried to cut it down himself.
But I can’t reach it.
I couldn’t reach anything.
‘If it deals with ‘time’, it is impossible not to know about leisure.’
If so, is it dealing with ‘something’ other than ‘time’?
No.
That is also not possible.
Because Chrono is, after all, the ‘apostle of Chronos.’
Now, I have already become an ‘apostle’ to accept and use the power of another main deity.
So, we have to assume that he is only using his ‘time’ ──
“I think you’re mistaken, so I want to tell you something in advance.”
“Illusion…?”
─Chrono speaks.
“I’m not an apostle anymore.”
“Wha—──?!!”
A palm coming towards you to harm yourself.
Avoided. It was worth avoiding. So I avoided it.
And
─Zaah!!!
“aah…?!”
It was right.
I was hit hard on the buttocks.
A sharp, burning pain.
However, to be in such pain, I couldn’t understand what was happening right away.
“You… Dirty idiot!”
The ‘future’ has been confirmed.
A future that is inevitable and can no longer be escaped has been ‘confirmed.
Squitte is thrown out again. The sharp tip of the blade approaches to cut off Chrono’s head.
But
─Kkeeek…!
“What… “What on earth did you do!”
It doesn’t move forward.
The scythe did not advance with a piece of skin in front of it.
Unknown. A situation that cannot be known or even understood.
“There’s nothing particularly strange, right?”
Chrono grabbed Squitte’s scythe with his bare hands.
Even though the wound was obviously cut, there wasn’t even any wound.
“Because it is ‘natural’ that a familiar cannot harm its master.”
“Bullshit!”
Strange situation. A mysterious incident.
At first glance, Chrono’s words seemed correct.
However, there were many contradictions.
Even when they returned, they fought each other fiercely.
But now you’re saying ‘it can’t do any harm’?
It was the same amount of bullshit as saying that the self-proclaimed Supreme Lord was actually a pure man.
Just
“So don’t be mistaken?”
Under certain conditions, it may not be bullshit.
“Not you.”
Squitte.
The ‘child’ is ‘mine’.
“Oh…?”
The squite in my hand was taken away in vain.
A vicious and grotesque scythe that could cut off time itself, which was in his hand just a moment ago
Now it had become a completely unsightly and shabby dagger in Chrono’s hand.
‘I took it off…?’
No.
Wrong.
Rather than saying it was taken away…
─Wooow…!
“Don’t fucking say it. You’ll send it to Sister Ur and ask her to melt it down and make it again.”
─Uuuuun!!!
“What should I do? Is this my part-time job?”
“…What.”
I went back.
I felt like I was returning to my owner.
‘No.’
That thing, Squitte, is ‘mine’.
But why do you go to ‘that guy’ instead of to ‘me’?
“Open your eyes… Listen to what she says. Open your eyes, Squite! Can’t you hear what she says!”
I shout out loud.
Not that other lowly human being.
He shouted to return to his hand, which was originally a god and had climbed higher than anyone else.
─Wow…
“…What…?”
But why?
Why?
Is Squitte not coming back?
‘Obviously…Even before…’
Squite escaped from the arms of humans and returned to his own hands.
Mugu, who returned not by the hands of a lesser human, but by the hands of a god who is superior to anyone else, is now turning his back on him again?
I don’t understand.
I can’t understand it.
It’s impossible. It’s unfair. In a situation where confusion only increases.
“I’m taking ‘time’ back too. It’s mine anyway, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
“Oh───?”
Now even the ‘power’ I had has disappeared.
The situation is not that the supply has been ‘cut off’, but has been ‘recovered’.
“…What is it?”
In the position of an absolute powerhouse, a god filled with sanctuary.
Now Leah has become just a powerless and weak succubus.
“What on earth…What on earth have you done!”
Fear from the unknown.
He seemed strong on the outside, but in reality, his heart was shaking randomly.
“Nothing in particular.”
However, the fear of the unknown was, conversely, too easy and simple in the eyes of those who already knew.
“Because I really just became the ‘owner.'”
“…!”
Only then did Leah notice.
Chrono’s outward aura.
The power you have as a god. Divine power.
Its quality has completely changed compared to before.
“Until now, I wasn’t the ‘true owner’…But now I have finally become the ‘owner.'”
Chrono smiled bitterly.
There was nothing difficult.
All the power and divinity I have received so far have come down from ‘Kronos’.
So no matter how much they claimed it was ‘theirs’, in the end they could not be free from ‘Chronos’.
Just like Squite disappeared when confronting the troll.
As if Mai had continued to gnaw away at her spirit.
It was as if she had taken back the power given to her in an instant.
And
“What do you mean…Are you really going to say that you have become ‘Kronos’!”
Now.
Just like Leah’s ‘time’ was ‘reclaimed’ again.
“I didn’t mean to. But it ended up being that way.”
This wasn’t possible in the past.
Because they are all ‘given by Kronos’.
Because ‘Kronos’ was the owner.
Simply put, it is the same as the adbin account and guest account on a computer.
No matter how much the guest claims it is his or hers, if the admin cuts it off, it will be cut off without any effort.
Previous Chrono was just a guest.
A state in which Kronos was using the power of his master
That’s why Mai was able to erode Chrono’s spirit, and Leah was able to take Squitte and use it as she pleased.
Because I’m a guest.
Anyone who has an account can use the guest account as they wish.
Even if you play a mining game full of viruses, even if you arbitrarily delete files belonging to guests.
After all, it is a guest account. Because I’m a guest. This was possible because he was not the true owner.
“And that’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning.”
…But it’s different now.
“Am I no longer an apostle?”
“──Heek…?!”
[Advent] Although the status is limited, he has achieved the position of ‘true owner’.
And the ‘familiar’ cannot dare to refuse the ‘master’s’ decision.
Because the ‘right to refuse’ itself did not exist in the first place.
As an aside.
“…Ah.”
‘She She’ felt She
A world that repeats itself over and over again. A world where even the twists (Easter eggs) are planned.
A true irregularity (bug) that has finally appeared in a world that has been repeated thousands and thousands of times.
That the absolute and perfect world was ‘completely distorted’ even for a moment. (Bug-like play)
“Ah…!”
Insight into the world and voyeurism
A person who penetrates all the wisdom of the world
King of the gods.
His apostle says:
“This time…”
Irreversible.
There is no going back.
───For the perfect day of disaster (Ragnarok).
