69 – 69 – It doesn’t matter.
There are many famous sayings about revenge.
The best revenge is to forget.
The noblest revenge is tolerance.
Don’t be funny.
Not just me.
I cherished it.
The bitches who destroyed everyone.
How could I forget?
Why do I have to forgive?
With a sudden headache.
The memories that come to mind are:
It was truly terrible.
Not only Lee Hye-young and Dang Mi-ryeong.
I think other bitches would have died too.
I was expecting it.
I never thought he would have died so horribly.
From the moment I regained consciousness.
My heart boiled with sorrow.
And also the physical condition.
It has become very different. Swift elf sisters.
To the point where I can chase after him without much trouble.
Seeing all the fragments of memory.
After coming to my senses.
This fucking bitch.
He was doing shit again.
I immediately moved naturally.
Extinguishing the fire on Raina’s body.
And now this fucking bitch has turned to ashes.
Removing the burned black salt.
Of course, I have never learned anything in this life.
I’m not sure in which life I learned it.
Not all memories from my life came to mind.
This is because only the memories of this arsonist came to mind.
It may not be something I learned in my previous life.
Then.
Am I the devil?
I thought that Tang Mi-ryeong, who tore through space that day, was the devil.
There is no way a person who came from another world could be a demon lord.
Well, that doesn’t matter anymore.
For now.
I look away from the dark red ash piled up on the floor.
I walked slowly in front of the World Tree, which was still burning.
This world tree is not the same tree as my previous life when I was called a forest keeper.
The huge tree I cherished in my past life has turned into ashes and disappeared.
This tree cannot be subjected to the same procedure.
More than anything, the fact that this much has already burned down.
Because I was so heartbroken, I stretched out my hand to turn off the light.
It is not intended to use water-type magic.
It’s just my body remembering.
If you stretch out your hand like this and reach the World Tree.
The fireworks set by the arsonist can be easily extinguished.
Srurrrrrrr…
Just as I was sure, the flames on the World Tree were gradually disappearing.
After a while, it completely disappeared.
However, the World Tree was in a bad state, with signs of having already been burned.
“I’m sorry..”
I was so sorry.
I don’t know how the arsonist came to this world.
What is certain is that they came over to look for me.
If it weren’t for me.
This giant tree would not have suffered from burning today.
“Human.. What is this..”
” Edward, the world tree!?.. “
Raina and Flora’s voices were heard.
Probably from their perspective.
Suddenly, a weak human male finds himself unable to do anything.
Because he defeated his opponent so easily and even removed the flame from the World Tree.

You can’t help but be surprised.
How should I explain it to them?
Thinking about that.
It was the moment when I was about to open my mouth.
[ Ah.. Ah.. You finally came back.. Child.. ]
A voice was heard from the World Tree.
“ What!? ”
It was a very soft, pitiful voice.
What do you mean, you finally came back?
” World Tree!? “
” Can humans also hear the voice of the World Tree!? “
I wonder if the voice of the World Tree was not only heard by me.
The elf sisters also reacted in surprise.
Probably those who can communicate with the World Tree in this world.
It seems like they are the only ones called forest keepers.
[ Thank you, my child.. First of all, thanks to you, we can protect the forest.. ]
Saaaaa!!
Is it because I took out the flame?
The World Tree seems to have regained its power, as a strong blue light shines around it.
Srurrrrrrrrrrr…
Like a lie.
The flames that were burning the forest disappeared.
” This is the World Tree’s blessing! “
“You’re safe, World Tree!..”
The elf sisters were happy and ran to the front of the World Tree, which had regained its strength.
[I’m sorry I’ve caused you guys a lot of worry too..]
“ No! We are sorry for neglecting our job of protecting the forest.. ”
[ No.. It’s because I was powerless.. ]
“ No, World Tree! We.. ”
The World Tree and the elf sisters talked to each other for a while,
We asked about each other’s condition and apologized.
Responsible for any unpleasant incidents caused by sudden intruders.
It was heartbreaking to see them telling each other they were wrong.
“It’s not your fault. “
” Human? ” ” Edward? “
This is all my fault.
There is no need for them to apologize to each other.
Rather, I am the one who should apologize.
” It all happened because of me. Sorry. “
“What do you mean, human?..”
Raina asked back as she saw me apologizing.
Her beautiful face was covered with burns caused by the arsonist.
I tried to get rid of it as much as possible with my power.
It was not completely removed, and shallow burns remained.
When she saw that face, she felt even more sorry.
If the arsonist explains why he started the fire.
If you tell me that everything was because of me.
How will she react?
I was afraid, but there was nothing I could do.
It’s all my karma.
The moment I made up my mind and was about to open my mouth.
[ Child.. Just wait a moment.. I have something to say first. ]
The World Tree joined the conversation.
It seemed like he knew what I was going to say.
Is there something you want to say to me?
Before that.
[ And forest guards… First of all, I would like to talk to this child, so would you please step aside for a moment? ]
The World Tree asked the elf sisters to leave.
” World tree and humans?.. “
” Flora.. Let’s do as the World Tree says. “
“ Sister?.. Ah, okay.. ”
At the request of the World Tree, the elf sisters who are forest keepers.
The World Tree and I left the place so we could have a conversation.
Me and the world tree.
I confirmed that they had gone to a place where I could not hear the conversation.
The conversation began slowly.
I asked first.
” Do you… know me? “
Reaction when I first put out the fire on the World Tree’s body.
It was clearly an attitude that he knew me.
How do you know me?
To my doubts.
The World Tree slowly began to explain.
[ Okay.. Just know.. I’ll explain everything, kid.. ]
[How do I know you..]
[ And as you may have guessed… ]
[ Who are you.. ]
.
.
.
First of all, the World Tree is not only for this world.
It is said to be a structure in which all world trees are connected to each other.
Whether it is a fantasy world like today, or a world like the Earth I lived on.
It is said that they may look different from each other and have different abilities.
But they are each other.
Because they were connected to their roots.
It is said that everything is shared and remembered.
Because of the rules, these facts are told to those in their world.
They say it is not delivered.
This world where everything is already ruined.
And for me, who has wandered through countless worlds.
The World Tree is said to be able to provide an exceptional explanation.
He told me a shocking truth.
No, actually, I was guessing.
[ Child.. You have turned around and come back to this world. ]
“So you’re saying I’m the devil?”
The devil.
He was revived even though he committed suicide.
And then suddenly an unknown force strikes.
Why couldn’t I use this power before I died?
I had my doubts, but first of all, I am the devil.
However, there was one thing I had no choice but to ask.
” Haven’t the demon kings of the past disappeared? “
From the recorded legends that I know.
It is said that the Demon King was destroyed by a hero from another world in the distant past.
But doesn’t the World Tree say that the Demon King at that time and I are the same person?
If that is true, then we need to know how I am alive like this without disappearing.
If it had disappeared in the distant past.
I wouldn’t have gone through the reincarnation of being killed over and over again.
Not only me but my loved ones and the world would not have been destroyed.
But the World Tree, which said it would explain everything, did not answer.
[ … It would be difficult to explain that.. ]
” Didn’t you say you could tell me everything? “
[ I’m sorry.. I made a covenant with another child.. So I can’t tell you that much.. ]
” Hahaha.. Is that so.. “
It is a covenant with another child.
It probably refers to the person who made me into Lee Ji-kyung.
All you have to do is find that bastard and kill him.
” Well, it doesn’t matter.. “
[Aiya..]
It doesn’t matter.
Why did this happen?
About who I am.
Of course it is important.
But there is something more important than that.
I asked the World Tree.
“ Do you know what I will do next? ”
[ … ]
The World Tree was silent.
It may be because they anticipated what I would do in the future.
That is.
“ I can’t believe everyone came to this world.. Hahaha!!.. ”
The motherfuckers who submerged me have come into this world.
“ It’s rather good. ”
It’s different now.
I’m not the person who was so scared that I couldn’t even breathe just by looking at Lee Hye-young.
There are no more idiots who only think about avoiding or just surviving.
Why didn’t I think of taking revenge?
[ Child.. Every time I meet one by one, memories will come back and it will be painful.. ]
” … It’s okay. “
It’s okay.
As the World Tree said.
Now, the memories of my past life have not returned.
Like a bitch that was just burned.
Every time I meet one person, memories will probably come to mind.
How cruelly did they kill me?
How much have I destroyed the people I love and the things I cherish?
Of course it will be painful.
But it’s okay because I’m already used to the pain.
[ Child.. Good child.. ]
“ I am not that kind of person at all! ”
[ I know… That the child was in pain when they burned him… ]
” What does that mean!? “
What does that mean?
Of course, I didn’t feel good when I killed that hateful bitch.
Even if revenge was successful, it was not exhilarating.
But that doesn’t mean I feel pain..
[ You loved it, right? ]
“ !! ”
[ Not only that child, but everyone else… ]
” … “
Ah.
After taking revenge.
Because there is emptiness left.
I thought it was heartbreaking.
Ah.
Listening to the words of the World Tree.
I feel like I’m realizing something.
My heart became more and more depressed.
I loved those bitches?
“ Ha!.. Ha!.. Fuck.. Fuck you!.. ”
I tried to deny it by swearing and shouting.
“ Ah.. Keuheuuuuu.. ”
Stupidly enough, it could not be easily denied.
[ Child.. ]
I said this to the world tree that felt sorry for me.
“ Even if what you say is true.. ”
It didn’t matter anymore. It’s all broken.
” No matter how painful it is. “
It is a lie to say that pain is familiar. Still.
” I will find each and every one of them and kill them. “
I will kill them all. … Fucking bitches.
” Even if it disappears in the process. “
Even if I fail..
” I will kill even one more person. “
It doesn’t matter.
