Episode 167
“Oh my..”
The human-shaped thing in front of ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ spoke.
No, it was difficult to even accurately consider him a human being.
It was a young woman who looked to be about 20 years old, but her body was tangled like fallen rags.
‘Charge Yun’ was just staring at her without saying a word.
“Are you here to make a contract with me?”
She was ‘Kali’.
“…Yes.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said in a low voice.
A look of tension was evident in her eyes.
She didn’t look like herself.
“Then of course you know the contents of the contract, right?”
‘Carly’ said.
“You must give me your most precious thing. What is the most precious thing to you?”
“If it’s the most precious thing to me…”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a nervous expression.
“The most precious thing to me is…”
“No. There’s no need for you to say anything. I’m going to bolt it myself.”
‘Kali’ started to come closer to ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
Soon, ‘Kali’ placed her hand on ‘Cha Jiyoon’s’ forehead.
Then she immediately closed her eyes.
Soon, she looked shocked.
“The most precious thing to you is your mother.”
“…”
“But it is no longer ‘something’ that can be offered.”
“…Yes?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ had a blank expression.
“It looks like you don’t know anything yet. In that case, let’s take this step by step.”
‘Kali’ placed her hand on ‘Cha Ji-yoon’s forehead again.
Then she started laughing like a real person.
“hahahaha – your future is so interesting.”
‘Kali’ has the ability to see the future of humans.
She has just seen the future of ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
“….”
“No matter what you choose, it will eventually lead to your destruction. How pitiful, child.”
“….”
“Okay. I’ll give you a special chance.”
“….”
“I’ll give you this stone.”
‘Kali’ handed a stone to ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
“…What is this stone?”
“This stone is the ‘Stone of Return’ that allows you to return to the past.”
“….Then.”
“It means you can go to the past you want to go to.”
“…”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ continued to look at the stone in silence.
The past she wants to go to is self-evident.
Just before she separated from her mother. It must be that time zone.
“…”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was handed the stone.
Then I looked at ‘Kali’ again.
I felt like I was wondering if I could really believe what she said.
That is to say, ‘Kali’ always works for the destruction of the universe.
So everything she does is fatal to the lifespan of the universe.
“Oh my. There will never be another opportunity like this. “There is no such thing as strength for me anymore.”
Currently, Kali is having a hard time maintaining her own body.
This meant that she used up a tremendous amount of strength to do ‘something’.
“This stone of return must be used within one minute. Otherwise, it will disappear. Please write it right now. “It’s a child.”
“….”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ bit his lips tightly.
In this space, God cannot lie to humans.
In other words, that stone is definitely a ‘stone of return’ as Kali said.
If she goes back to her past, she will be able to make the choice to be with her mother.
That’s why I won’t try to give up.
She nodded her head as if she had decided on something.
Then, she began to pour her magical power into the stone of return.
I held her hand.
“Wait a minute.”
“…Yes. Please speak.”
She looked at me with a slightly uncomfortable expression.
“It is true that this stone is a stone of return, but it does not really take you back to the past.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“Of course, we will go back to the past. The problem is that the past is already the end of the universe’s lifespan.”
“…Yes?”
“Isn’t that right? “Carly.”
I looked at ‘Kali’ and said.
Then she grinned.
Multiple universes exist in this world.
Among the countless universes, there is only one that has survived into the future.
It was the universe of the world I was in.
For example, a universe that can only survive until 2010.
A universe that can only survive until 2020.
It meant that all universes were predetermined.
“Didn’t ‘Kali’ want to destroy this universe by sending ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ to a universe that was about to be destroyed?”
And there is only one reason why this universe can survive.
It was because of the existence of ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
Because of her, I was able to exist where I was.
In other words, if she disappeared, she meant that this universe would also disappear.
“hahahahaha – you have a really interesting friend.”
‘Kali’ looked at ‘Cha Jiyoon’ and said.
“…I just don’t understand.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ tilted his head and said.
From her perspective, it is natural that she does not understand.
“I will tell you the story in detail later. First of all, the current situation is important.”
I said.
“Okay. “You’re right.”
‘Kali’ said.
If ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ had made that choice, not a single universe would have survived into the future.
If that happens, this entire universe will be destroyed, as Kali intended.
“Then. “Child, what do you want?”
‘Kali’ looked at ‘Cha Jiyoon’ and said.
“…I want to escape this fate.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said.
“It’s your destiny…” It was definitely fun. “I am the one who saw your end.”
‘Carly’ said with a grin.
“It is natural to want to escape from the shackles of that fate, but it is impossible.”
“Why is that so?”
“That is impossible in my power right now. No, no matter which god comes, it is impossible. So tell me what else you want.”
“…”
‘Charge Yoon’ held his hand tightly.
“Then, I want ‘Kali’s fire’ from ‘Kali’.”
“It is called ‘the fire of Kali.'”
The ‘fire of Kali’ refers to a fire that, once ignited in another person, will never go out.
Therefore, once the other person is on fire, he or she will not be able to escape and will die.
“But do you know how precious it is?”
‘Kali’ said.
“Of course I know.”
‘Kali’s Fire’ was her unique skill that could only be contracted with one contractor.
“Okay. Originally, I had no intention of signing this contract with anyone, but seeing your future has changed my mind. I will especially give you a chance.
“…Thank you.”
“…But, then, you also know that the price you have to pay will be enormous, right?”
“….I am prepared.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said while swallowing his saliva.
“Then, I will take four of your five senses. Sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch, which one would you choose?”
‘Kali’ said.
“…Yes?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a shocked expression.
If you have four of the five senses, you are essentially giving up being human.
“Choose four of the five senses. “I will let you take some of them.”
“….I am”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was unable to answer readily.
No matter how ‘Kali’s Fire’ is a ‘magic’ that is close to fraud, four of the five senses were a huge penalty.
“What will you choose? “There is not much time left.”
Time continued to pass.
“…”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ bit his lips tightly.
At that time, I whispered into ‘Cha Ji-yoon’s’ ear.
“Say you are giving up everything except your sense of taste.”
“…Yes?”
I have seen countless people who have signed a contract with ‘Kali’.
And they all met destruction without exception.
However, ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ will not do that.
“The person giving up is not Jiyoon. “It’s me.”
“…Yes? “What on earth is that?”
“Don’t you mind if I take your place?”
I looked at ‘Kali’ and said.
Then she grinned.
“…I think yours would be more fun.”
It seemed like she had already seen what would happen to me and ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ in the future.
It is clear that I am saying this because her frustration will probably be maximized when I lose four of my five senses.
“Okay. “Let me take four of your five senses from you.”
“Yes. Instead, I would like to ask ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ to write ‘Kali’s Fire’ as is.”
“That’s such an obvious story.”
“…Why on earth?”
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said as he grabbed my collar.
“That’s because we’ll have to see each other for a long time.”
I said with a grin.
“…No matter what, giving up four of your five senses because of me…”
“It’s okay. “I don’t care.”
“Okay. Then I will take four of your five senses. “What are you going to give up?”
“I will just give up all five senses.”
“…hahahahaha- What a fun kid. Good. Then we will proceed immediately.”
‘Kali’ came closer to me.
I immediately placed my hand on my forehead.
“…It is a contract like this. Do you agree?”
“Yes. I agree.”
Wooow-
Soon a magic circle unfolded.
And then the magic circle ended.
“The contract was successful.”
‘Carly’ looked at me and smiled.
You must be curious to see how frustrated I look. For sure
“Jiyun. Shall we leave now? “I got the contract I wanted.”
I looked at ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ and said.
She made a blank expression.
“…Are you okay?”
She stared at me with a very worried expression.
I stared straight into her eyes.
“Yes. It’s okay. Aren’t you answering really well now? And.”
I pushed her face closer to her.
“We are making good eye contact like this.”
“…Really”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a grin.
“…You are someone who always exceeds expectations.”
Carly’s voice came from behind.
“…What are you?”
I looked at her.
She had an uncharacteristically embarrassed expression on her face.
That’s because I looked so fine.
“Ah… That’s a trade secret. “Okay then.”
I bowed my head towards Kali and came out of the world of images with ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
“…What on earth did you do?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ came out and said with a blank expression.
“Ah… “That one?”
In the end, the place to make a contract with God is also in the world of images.
In other words, that means I am close to invincible within it.
“I have quite strong mental strength.”
“…Yes?”
“Then shall we go and prepare for defense now?”
“…Really.”
She burst into laughter.
i see, its like 2 same status can’t inflict each other
