196. I am your rest
That Iza would have such thoughts, Oren had roughly predicted.
‘Locked in a prison-like place, rejected by darkness? It’s only natural that the organization’s will and the guy’s will don’t match.’
I didn’t even have to ask, I just got the feeling of the rough situation.
“I thought so.”
“… … Got it?”
“If you were with the organization and your will, you wouldn’t be in a place like this. It’s too much for protection.”
“under. you really… … .”
She looked at Oren in disgust. But Oren looked at her with a similar expression.
“You made a man an idiot.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“You know nothing.”
“I don’t know?”
“Do you think you’ve lost your freedom because you’re trapped here?”
“Isn’t that obvious!?”
Oren shook his head.
“Freedom is only part of it. It’s imprisoned, but it can be retrieved. You have lost something more important than that.”
She looked at Oren with a frown on her face.
To Auren, even doing that was stupid.
“Patience, judgment, will, perseverance… … You lost everything. You should have kept them, not do anything clumsy to find your freedom.”
“What!”
“Why are you yelling at me? What’s the benefit of that? Why are you doing such stupid things?”
“… … .”
Oren’s words lodged in her body like an awl.
“I would have kept you here and listened to whatever you wanted. that’s what made you a kid Were you aware that you were losing something important? probably not You must have been stupid and thought of getting out of here somehow.”
“That, that.”
She had to admit.
It was as Oren said.
“What are your plans next? Do you think you can run away for the rest of your life? Or did you try to commit yourself to the Empire?”
“How can I… … .”
“Will you be free if you go there? no. It is just another prison.”
She, who thought what would happen if she just ran away, faced the harsh reality.
She lowered her head and opened her mouth.
“Then what should I do?”
Begged Oren for a solution.
It was a miserable and desolate appearance, but in Oren’s eyes, it was the first good look since they met.
“It wasn’t hopeless.”
At Oren’s words, she raised her head.
“It is wise to admit that you are lacking and seek advice. It’s a good start.”
At the sudden compliment, she put on a puzzled expression. However, Oren didn’t care what kind of expression she made and continued talking.
“The reason you are stuck here is simple. Because it uses the power of creation. The simplest way is if you lose your power.”
“Yes?”
“Without the power of creation, you are a useless human being. Then, this hellish life will end.”
Of course, this is just a stopgap.
“Well, if you don’t have luck, you’ll die.”
“… … Are you kidding me?”
At those words, Oren’s expression hardened.
“Have patience and perseverance. Do you think I’m wasting my time teasing you? what are you It is self-conscious.”
“I’m sorry.”
She answered with a lot of intimidation.
“Or you can use another method. Use the power of creation to become a strong person that no one can touch.”
“that… … It’s impossible. In the first place, the power I possess is incomplete power.”
“Then, there is only one way.”
“Is there any way left?”
“I need outside help.”
“Didn’t you say that it would be another prison?”

My head seemed to be spinning a bit now.
“So, I need to find a helper who makes you useless.”
“I can’t be useless.”
“It’s overconfidence.”
“Don’t you see what I can do?”
Oren looked at her as if to say something.
“I can make a life extension potion.”
For the first time, Oren was taken aback.
“Life extension?”
“Yes. Drinking it prolongs life.”
“Can I live forever?”
“I don’t know. It can still live for hundreds of years.”
Oren felt dizzy.
The fact that a specific answer of several hundred years came out meant one thing.
“Looks like there are people who used it. for hundreds of years.”
“Yes. Aside from everything else, I’m sure there won’t be people who hate me with this potion alone? how about it? Do you need me?”
He spoke to Oren as if he would repay the things he had suffered so far.
“I don’t need that horrible thing.”
“Yes?”
To be honest, Oren wasn’t interested in immortality. Life is enough to suck honey to the fullest.
‘That means you have to take responsibility for everything you put off.’
I had no intention of protecting the world by living forever.
Rather, the problem was something else.
“How many potions did you produce? It sounds like there are monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.”
“I produced a lot. They were also eaten by the organization and sprinkled to establish a relationship with the empire.”
It was a mountain beyond a mountain.
Seeing the darkness, I thought that the leadership of this organization would continue it for generations, but it wasn’t at all.
‘What if I drank the potion and survived?’
There was no such thing as a monster.
It seemed that he knew why he had become a true blackmailer while secretly attacking the empire. Even with that potion, no one would touch them.
“This is the worst news.”
Will all this be over if I just kill the wounded boss?
Not at all.
This wasn’t going to end simply by killing the darkness.
The biggest problem among them was that they provided this potion to the Empire as well.
‘The only place to stop this force could be an already deep relationship.’
Then there wasn’t much Oren could do.
“how about it? Would that be possible?”
“I will have to find another way.”
“Do you think there is another way to deal with this situation?”
have. There is no way.
“First of all, there is someone you want to meet.”
“Me?”
To do so, verification was required.

Divine power emanated from Oren’s body. The sight startled her. But it was too early to be surprised.
The divine power emitted from Oren’s body soon became wings, and a ring was created on top of his head.
[I will give all angel special effects.]
Finally, as the halo emerged, he became a perfect angel.
Oren’s angelic appearance was completely different from Leon’s angelic appearance. Not a benevolent expression, but a cold expression that made me feel like a warrior.
“Listen, sinner.”
It was Oren’s voice, but when the divine power mixed in, it felt completely different.
“You have the power of an angel.”
“… … The power of an angel?”
She couldn’t come to her senses, and asked in bewilderment.
‘Hey Siri.’
[Use the power of creation sealed in the holy water with the power of an angel.]
The power of creation in the sacred tree gathered in Oren’s hand, and a small flower was created.
“It’s half-assed, but I feel it has our power.”
“Using the power of creation with nothing… … .”
It was impossible for her to create something out of nothing. You had to have the materials so you could use them to create.
Divine power emanated from Oren’s body and covered her body.
“Oops!”
She trembled, wondering if she felt the pain again.
However, the exact opposite result came out.

My confused mind was cleared and I was able to maintain my composure.
“Focus. My Advent puts a strain on this bowl. There is no time.”
“Yes. sorry. Angel.”
She had no choice but to acknowledge the existence in front of her eyes as an angel. Unless you are an angel, you cannot explain what I have just shown you.
“You have great talent. To use even half the power of an angel.”
“no. I just borrow the power of authority and imitate it.”
“You don’t have to be humble. If anyone could use it, there would be no reason for you to suffer so much.”
At Oren’s words, she bowed her head as if to express her gratitude.
“Aye. If your strength is a burden, I will retrieve it. It is a power not allowed to humans in the first place.”
Oren intended to show her hope.
“Can you do that?”
She snapped at that hope.
“It is not that difficult. That power is our strength. It is also not difficult to take it.”
“Dang, can’t you take it right away!?”
The power of creation that kept her imprisoned for the rest of her life. It was an opportunity to get rid of that power.
However, that shouldn’t be the case.
“It is possible, but is it really possible? That’s not a very good option.”
“Yes?”
“You are a sinner.”
“… … Yes.”
Whatever the case, it was she who forged the key to Hell’s Gate.
“Are you planning on carrying that guilt?”
“Yes?”
“Looks like you have a chance to wash away your sins. Hey, why are you only looking in front of your nose?”
“ah… … .”
The words Oren had just heard came out of the angel’s mouth.
“Can I wash away this sin?”
“have. Since the devil knows that you are not the culprit, it is possible to wash away your sins.”
Actually, this was nonsense. Covering the fruit with a ball was something that did not go well with ‘sin’.
However, the words of an angel are completely different.
“Thank you for the opportunity.”
“It is not an opportunity given to me. So you have nothing to thank me for. hey It is you who changes you.”
“Angel.”
Indeed, she thought, angels were different. Despite his cold expression, the angel was warm and benevolent.
“If I could give you one piece of advice.”
“Yes. I will listen.”
“The ones who have built the most good on this continent are Oren Ai and Leone. Together, it will be easy to build good.”
It was very worldly for an angel’s advice, but just being an angel doesn’t feel that way at all.
“I will keep that in mind.”
She seemed to have a sense of how to move.
“I will give this child the power to fill your other half.”
“thank you. angel I will do my best.”
A small smile appeared on Oren’s face, who maintained a cold tone and expression.
“Believe. child.”
With those words, the divine power disappeared as if evaporating in an instant. The angel’s smile disappeared, returning to Oren’s hard expression.
“I will die.”
He frowned and muttered quietly. Sweat was pouring down my head like rain.
“I have decided. Please join me.”
“… … No matter how angelic you are, you put too much burden on me.”
Even at Oren’s words, her expression did not waver.
“I will do my best not to be a burden. I will actively cooperate.”
It was as if I had regained some of the things I had lost in prison.
“Still, it might not be a complete burden.”
I have a deck that is quite usable.
* * *
I didn’t make anything just because I got cooperation. There are more important things than that.
“I need information.”
“Information?”
“How long have you lived?”
“I have lived longer than you think.”
It was even better.
Living for a long time meant having a lot of information.
“I need information about this organization.”
“What the hell do you want to do?”
“I intend to destroy this organization.”
Hearing that, she cautiously asked a question.
“why?”
“You should know better.”
“… … Do you know our true purpose?”
“not sure. So I want to hear that information.”
This was the real beginning.
