“It may be a leap, but in a way, it could also mean that you are the only one who can change the future.”
“I am the only one who can change the future…”
No one knows whether Carl’s words are true or not, but the two of them instinctively predicted it.
The commonality of being invisible is something that no one else in this world has.
“Then, does that mean that the path I am walking is the right path?”
“I don’t know that either. But the fact that two futures appeared at once does not mean that they have never been decided as one.”
“Oh, let me ask the question differently. Isn’t the path I’m walking closer to the correct answer than the path you’re walking?”
“that…”
Carl couldn’t answer Seong-hyeon’s question.
He already knew the answer, but the moment he spoke the answer, it was no different from being denied everything Carl had done so far.
In the end of all these sacrifices, if there was nothing in the end, it seemed that I could not bear it.
So Carl couldn’t answer, and Seong-hyeon knew why Carl couldn’t answer.
“I didn’t even want an answer. After all, the answer is decided.”
“…okay.”
Carl looked as if he had lost his nail mark.
purpose, goal. And the expression of a person who has lost all the reasons for life.
“therefore. What are we going to do now?”
“How are you doing? Is there anything I can do to leave?”
When he first learned that he had the ability to see the future, he felt as if he had become something.
The ability of value that no one can reach,

Moreover, unlike simple foresight, the divine-like ability to change the future.
So, even after watching for a long time that the final future does not change, I did not let go of the string.
One day, that last future will also change.
whatever Carl wants.
But it was Seong-hyun who actually caused the change.
Seong-hyeon was unaware of that fact, but when an invisible being appeared, Carl didn’t pay much attention to it.
I thought there must be something special about it as it has healing powers.
“It’s been a long time. Such helplessness.”
The fact that he couldn’t do anything made him so helpless.
As I changed from the adjuster who saw and changed the future to the position of a bystander in an instant, I only wondered what to do now.
“knife. ask one thing What do you want?”
“what I want? Isn’t it simple?”
What Karl wanted was simple, looking at what Karl had done so far.
Changing the future that you never know will happen.
Not just changing, but moving the future in the direction you want it to go.
This is what Carl really wanted.
“No, more fundamentally.”
“Basically?”
Now, Carl is telling him what he wants, but when Seong-hyeon, who asked the question, denied that the answer was wrong, Karl also began to question himself.
‘What I really want…’
“Why are you feeling so helpless right now?”
“Not being able to do anything?”
“okay.”
Hearing Seonghyeon’s words, Carl slowly fell into thought.
to change the future.
Is this really what Carl himself wants?
Thinking slowly, changing the future was both a goal and a purpose.
‘okay. What I really want.’
Only now could I realize
What Carl wanted was not to change the future, but to try to change the future.
The fact that he has the power to change the future itself was the driving force behind everything for Carl.
Now that the driving force is gone, I felt helpless.
Seonghyun said with a serious look on Cal’s expression as if he had realized something.
“Are you still so quiet right now, knowing that?”
“What? What…”
What else does this mean?
“Haha, that’s right.”
The answer came out easier than I thought.
Although it was not certain, it was Seong-hyeon who had the most potential to change the future, and it was Seong-hyun who actually showed some results.
“therefore. Will you come with me?”
If we walked the same path as Seong-hyeon, we would not be at the forefront of those who could change the future, but at least we would be able to see the same scenery.
But do you really deserve it?
In the name of the cause, not the few, but the many, were sacrificed.
He rationalized himself by saying that it would all disappear someday anyway.
“Do I… deserve it?”
Seonghyeon looked at the knife carefully.
Is this really true?
Even using the piercing eyes he had acquired before to check it, Carl’s words were sincere.
To sincerely ask Seong-hyun if he is qualified.
“of course…”
Carl looked into his eyes for a moment at Seonghyeon’s first kind voice he had ever heard.
What will come after me?
“No. qualifications.”
“…is it.”
Did you expect it?
No one thought he deserved it.
“But I can atone for it.”
“Atonement…”
It was a word I hadn’t even thought of.
When the day comes when that future that has never been seen one day comes, and if that future is a changed future, that’s the end of it.
There was no reason for atonement, and no need for it.
“What should I do?”
“It’s not very different from what we’ve been doing before.”
“…? What…”
What I’ve done so far has been a number of things I’ve done with the general public.
continue it? At Seonghyeon’s incomprehensible answer, Carl looked at Seonghyeon with a puzzled expression.
Of course, with the thought that if it was Seong-hyun, he would have talked with other meanings as well.
“I’ve seen and heard a lot about the future from you, but what I do and what I have to do are not that different. What I want is the extinction of all beasts.”
“The extinction of all beasts.”
To be honest, it was an absurd goal.
Even at this moment, the door must have been created somewhere, and not long ago, it even doubled.
But since it was Seong-hyeon who said those words, for some reason, trust began to grow.
If it was this man in front of him, it seemed like he would really annihilate all the beasts.
“Does this mean that I have to do to the beast what I have done so far?”
“It’s not much different. If it is against a beast, I can fully support you no matter what kind of experiment you do.”
“It’s not that much different…”
“okay. I don’t want any interference in dealing with the Beast.”
What this meant was simple.
In advance of things that will hinder Seong-hyeon from dealing with the demon.
to remove.
“You…you are colder than I thought.”
“I don’t know the future, but are those who want to interfere with me for their own power really different from the latter?”
“Surely it is.”
Carl knew better than anyone.
If it had been a completely different idea from what Seong-hyun said, he would have revealed it when he first found out about his abilities.
To protect and treat yourself.
But Carl didn’t trust anyone either.
Because I had the same thoughts as what Sunghyun just said.
Those who had a lot were not meek just because it was a peaceful era.
In a time when there is no threat, he thinks about what more he can take, how he can take what belongs to those who have, and how he can be worshiped by those who do not have.
They were the ones who never, never shared what they had.
And it was the same when threats came.
Even when the time comes when they can only get rid of what they have, they devise ways to protect what they have.
What’s more, the most efficient way to do this in this situation was to take something from someone else.
“I am cold-blooded, but not cold-blooded.”
If Seong-hyeon’s goal was to be an apostle of justice who killed these people, he would have found and dealt with those who were hiding, but Seong-hyun didn’t do that.
The reason was simple.
Because I didn’t disturb Sunghyun.
But, if it interferes with Seong-hyeon.
At that moment, things change.

Most of the methods they took were to threaten the people around Seong-hyeon.
Because everyone has already realized that there is no chance of winning if you face Seong-hyeon head-on.
And to these people, Seong-hyeon showed no mercy.
“okay. Right.”
Perhaps Seong-hyun is such a person, so he is the person who can change the future.
Carl realized he had no choice now.
If he didn’t accept Seong-hyun’s suggestion now anyway, he couldn’t solve his sense of helplessness.
It wasn’t just that.
The moment I rejected Sung-hyun’s proposal, it was no different than saying that I would continue what I had been doing until now, but Sung-hyun couldn’t let it go.
You will think that you have already obtained all the information you need to get from yourself.
“great. Don’t do that.”
I thought maybe it was the first time.
Carl himself reached out his hand first.
“But what about Envy and Sammy? Do I agree with you?”
Looking at the behavior of the two of them so far, it seemed that they might not agree with Carl’s opinion.
“Oh, don’t worry about those two. The things that Envy has done so far are just because of my goals.”
“What about Sammy?”
“What is Sammy… you know because you’ve already been through it, don’t you? There are many things that are weak for a researcher. Sammy only needs to satisfy one. Something that can be studied continuously.”
“I’m Sammy who studied humans, will I be satisfied?”
Even as Seonghyeon, the tamed beast could not help it.
It wasn’t uncommon for a beast to be brought out alive.
“Don’t worry about that. Sammy only needs to give him research that he can’t do.”
“Research that can’t be done?”
Come to think of it, Sammy has only been researching from the beginning to now, and the things created as a result of that failure have been rather helpful.
“Now that humans can’t be used as test subjects…yes, it would be nice if you could give them a goal such as giving a personality to a beast.”
“…it doesn’t seem like a real possibility.”
“It should be. Sammy.”
Then there was nothing to worry about now.
As for Envy and Sammy, Karl would take care of it and take good care of it, as it had done so far, and if you think about the things that Karl has shown you so far, it will take care of it and do what it needs.
“Now the conversation is over.”
“How was the conversation satisfactory?”
At Cal’s question, Seonghyeon stood up as if the conversation was over.
Then, as Cal had just done, this time Seong-hyeon held out his hand to Cal and said.
“congratulation.”
“What caused you to walk the same path?”
At that, Seonghyun burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.
Then, with a firm expression on his face, he answered.
“The thing that didn’t die.”
“…thank you.”
Carl couldn’t say anything other than thank you for the awful sincerity he felt.
“I hope there will be no further contact in the future.”
“Don’t try.”
So that Seonghyun doesn’t have to worry about it.
So that I can focus on getting rid of all the demonic beasts.
