My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening

52. Only me

Episode 52

“Wow… ! Isaac is really amazing!”

For the first time seeing Isaac fighting in earnest, Selemine burst into admiration. When the black knight, whom she had only heard about, appeared transformed into a demonic beast, she was about to rush to Isaac.

The aura emitted by the black knight was a monster itself that was impossible to express otherwise, so even Isaac thought it was dangerous.

“That was a stupid idea! Isaac-sama is the strongest!”

Contrary to concerns, however, Isaac leisurely fooled the black knight. A monster that jumps over a monster.

Recalling the feeling of being the most lovable monster in the world, Selemyn watched Isaac’s fight with ecstatic eyes.

so i didn’t know That the incarnation of Morior was approaching behind his back.

“huh?… … oh!?”

When someone put a hand on her shoulder, Selemine looked back and shouted in surprise. A being wrapped in black energy, whose face was hard to recognize, was staring at him.

The existence in front of my eyes is the incarnation of Morior, the goddess of creation. An opponent that Selemin could not handle even if he died 1000 times and woke up.

Even if they tried to escape, they would soon be caught and killed. Selemin, who grasped that far at once, resented herself for being stupidly lost on the battlefield, but soon realized that something was wrong.

“what?”

I didn’t feel any hostility from the incarnation. You could run away now. Nevertheless, Selemin quietly faced Hwashin’s face.

Hwashin’s face, which seemed to be locked in the dark, slowly began to be seen clearly. As a result, the face of a beautiful goddess is revealed.

Although she was angry, her face was more beautiful than her own, more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen in her life, but it wasn’t for that reason that Selemin was looking into Hwashwa’s eyes.

“This feeling was then… ?”

The feeling of warping space-time. The contradictory feeling of being sucked into the center of the world at the same time that only you are falling out of the world.

It was the same sensation he felt when he used the energy of death as a medium to peek into Isaac’s past for decades.

“Did you show it to me?”

[…] … … ]

There was no verbal answer to Hwa-sin. However, Selemin was able to know the intentions of the incarnation, more precisely, the intentions of the goddess of creation, Morior.

They weren’t talking verbally. Because it was about reading each other’s thoughts, exchanging them, and continuing the conversation.

“I see. Certainly, those who use necromantic magic are very rare. Those with talent there are even rarer.”

[…] … … ]

Selmin understood everything. What happened that day, which was both coincidental and inevitable, was guided by Morior.

“Should I say judo, or was it a wish? Being trapped in the void, you cannot use your original power.”

[…] … … ]

It is true that Morior used the energy of death as a bridge to the present world to show Selemin about Isaac’s past, but he couldn’t make Selmin come to that point.

Therefore, it was a coincidence for Morior that Selemyn worried about Isaac and went directly to a place full of death energy to save him. For Selemin, it was inevitable.

“And seeing Isaac’s past with the energy of death was an accident to me and inevitable to you. Destiny is so odd.”

[…] … … ]

Selemin, who was conversing with Hwa-sin comfortably as if he were talking to a friend, realized why he didn’t feel hostility towards her either.

Horrible aura like monsters did not leak out of Hwashin. Not only that, the incarnation’s presence was mixed with her own.

“So did I. For some reason, he said that he felt a sense of incongruity with himself from earlier.”

[…] … … ]

In a dimension where communication with external time was cut off, Selemin peeked at Isaac. He, like the others, remained frozen in the same posture as the swordsman.

The body of Selemin and the incarnation that exists here is an image of consciousness and at the same time a connection that is connected to the actual body.

Since she and Hwa-sin only moved to another dimension of consciousness, their actual bodies would be standing still looking at each other.

Because the exchange of time was cut off, the time over there and the time here are different, but from Isaac’s point of view, if Hwashin and her were showing their original signs, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed.

In other words, she meant that her presence had changed before she realized it.

“Since you came here?”

[…] … … ]

The figure of Hwasin, who did not respond, became blurry. It was not that the actual body was disappearing, but that the incarnation’s consciousness was fading.

But consciousness was not disappearing. Instead of disappearing, it only grew stronger.

Selemin closed her eyes in consciousness. He could feel Morior’s will dwelling in him.

It was impossible to resist. Even though Selemin has a natural talent for necromantic magic and has a strong power to deal with death, her opponent is Morior, the goddess of creation.

It wouldn’t make sense to oppose a being from the Age of Mythology. So, Selemyn neglected Morior’s will to dwell on her.

“ha… … .”

An excited breath escaped her mouth. This was not Selmin’s breath. It was the breath of Morior, the goddess of creation.

It was a breath of return that was barely able to burst beyond the time when even from God’s point of view, the mind would become distant.

“Thank you, Selemin. I will put your body to good use. This is the sincerity of the goddess. I am really grateful to you Well, I can’t hear you.”

Morior grinned and looked beyond the dimension. Isaac is at the end of where her gaze is directed.

Among the Mayer royals who had fought tirelessly, Morior raised his hand toward the one who was uniquely disgusting and tried to return his consciousness to the present world.

– It can’t be like that.

The hand stopped. It’s not just the hands. All of Selemin’s body was completely rejecting Morior’s will.

“Nonsense… … This is nonsense!”

Morior screamed and focused his consciousness inward again. I felt another self. Morior asked, seeing that his ego, which should not exist other than himself, had clearly appeared and was getting bigger.

“What have you done? Why are you still here when you must have been banished to the other side of unconsciousness!”

-That’s a strange question. It’s my body, so it’s only natural that I exist, right? Ah, was this just a form of consciousness linked to the body? I’m a little confused.

I couldn’t believe it. Morior robbed Selemin of her body and banished her ego. It would have been best if they could have gotten rid of it, but for now it was the best.

“My body was still trapped in the void, so I could only use that much power. But that is not a force that humans can resist!”

When Morior shouted, with his wounded pride and fear he didn’t even realize, Selemine laughed at her in reply.

-That’s stupid. You were the one who showed Isaac’s past with the energy of death and gave him the experience to handle the ritual. Do you think I would have done nothing in the nearly 20 years of watching him?

Originally, it wasn’t that I dealt with rituals to increase my strength. Selemin’s consciousness, which looked at memories of the past, could not intervene in the memories by any means.

It was natural. The past is already over. It was forbidden even by God to intervene in the time period marked by a period.

There is no way that mere humans can influence the past, much less. For this reason, Selemin had to learn only how to control her own consciousness over and over again.

“It makes no sense! Those who have a talent for dealing with death must be conscious in order not to be eaten by death itself, but still, impossible is impossible!”

Even if you spend your whole life with a human body, you can’t reach the power of God. Even more so, it was impossible for her to resist herself as the Goddess of Creation just because she trained for about 20 years.

“Even if you can handle consciousness at a level close to God, what lies beyond the unconscious is endless pain and despair! I can’t stand it with my human ego… !”

-Yeah, that sounds painful. If it was me in the past, I would have collapsed the moment I touched it. The ego would have disappeared, and the existence that was me would have been mixed in the whirlpool of pain and despair.

“But how!”

– It’s love.

Morior was shocked at Selemin’s assertive words. I wanted to deny it, but no words came out.

It is because the fact that Selemin, who still maintains her ego, is talking to herself as it is, was an undeniable proof.

“… … love? With just that, you came back from the other side of the unconscious without being devoured by despair and pain that even a god could not bear?”

-My love for Isaac is unbeatable. Even if I put all the love in this world together, the feelings I have for him are even greater. As long as there is love, there is nothing to be afraid of. I can overcome the despair and pain that will engulf the world. The greatest power humans possess. that’s what love is

At first glance, it was a long story that sounds like a human praise story. As a result, Morior, facing Selemin’s ego, felt extremely human emotions.

“You are crazy!”

-of course. love is originally crazy I don’t know about the old virgin chicken coop lady, a 10-year-old virgin who has never loved anyone.

As the Goddess of Creation, Morior is ignorant of human cultural awareness, but she is enraged at Selemin’s insults anyway.

-no use! If you can’t blow it away to the other side of your unconsciousness, you’ll seal the ego itself… … ?

Morior, who was about to exert his power, was frightened once again. Before he knew it, the positions of himself and Selemin had changed.

“I’ve said it before, but it’s my body. It is right for me to write.”

-Did you accept me with this thought from the beginning!

Having regained her authority over her body, Selemin grinned. It is true that he could not resist when the incarnation disappeared and permeated into him, but it was also true that he had no intention of resisting in the first place.

“That way, you will imbue my body with your own power without a doubt.”

Selemine spread her hands and looked down, smiling contentedly. I could feel Morior’s power spreading through my whole body very naturally and pulsating.

At this level, there was no need to train separately to use the power. It was possible to handle it without any discomfort, as if it had been there since birth.

“A good one? It’s a cliché, but it’s a state that can only be described as being reborn. It’s this much with just a part of the will of the incarnation. I can’t wait to see what happens when the power is taken from the main body.”

Seeing Selemin aiming at the power of the body trapped in the void, Morior had to admit it. He didn’t want to admit it, but he made a huge mistake.

-It’s my fault for letting a crazy woman like you know what love is.

“It’s not wrong. And let me correct one thing: It is true that that time was brought forward a little earlier thanks to you, but even if it wasn’t at that time, I would have ended up loving Isaac. I could realize that when I fell in love with him.”

-… … What do you know?

Morior, who thought it was okay now, tried to get rid of his ego. The Void was collapsing anyway. Maybe one day it will come out as a body.

Before that, I was a little greedy and tried to come out, but that crazy woman stopped me too.

Now, his ego was only an alter ego connected to the main body. It would be reasonable to disappear without any regrets here and aim for the next opportunity.

But Selmin had no intention of letting her go.

-What are you doing!?

When Morior, who had been restrained by his own power to prevent his ego from disappearing on his own, protested, Selemine laughed and said,

“It wasn’t enough that I realized my love for Isaac-nim earlier, so I’m quite grateful to you for giving me such great strength. I can’t lend you my body, but I’ll tell you something good instead.”

-Are you good?

Morior asked in a voice that was half fear and half interest, and Selemin answered with a raised hand, breaking down the boundaries of the conscious dimension.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

It’s love.

The first thing Selemin did after returning to reality was to curse it.

Isaac, who noticed that Morior’s power was in him, pushed her away, killed her heart at once, and swung his sword to cut her throat, and then put a curse on her.

It wasn’t a curse because he tried to kill himself. It was a curse that applied the power of the Goddess of Creation, which was being prepared from the beginning.

“So that you can only look at me. So that only I can look at you.”

Selemine, who cast a curse containing such love and desire, lifted the fallen Isaac into the air using her own power.

“Now we can be alone, Isaac.”

only me

Selemine, whose face was flushed with excitement, grabbed Isaac’s face with both hands and kissed him intensely.

-… … …
