There was no battle.
No, that’s right. If I fight, I’ll most likely die.
The Red Dragon of the Apocalypse, Satan.
As you can imagine from the name, it can be said that it is an absolute evil that has mass-produced apocalypseists in this world.
Isn’t there one guy on Janus’ side too?
The mad priest who insisted on purifying the world by burning it.
“But what did you come for? I think it’s too early to get here.”
“I was curious about what was at the end of this… … .”
A little more strength, information was needed. Because the opponent is Janus.
Of course, there are beings more threatening than Janus. Right now, Tia is like that and [Myungwang] is like that.
However, the most difficult opponent to deal with has to be the guy.
If you’re simply a strong guy, you can make a plan based on information, but if you’re an opponent who makes a plan based on a lot of information, the superiority of information becomes the difference in power.
And Janus arguably knows more than I do.
It means that he has the upper hand in a situation with similar specs.
A collision in this state would most likely end in my defeat.
“If you are too curious, you will die.”
“… … Are you going to kill me?”
“no? that’s just what i said There are words like that, so be careful.”
Wow, this is crazy.
It’s a situation that can be called a god from the feeling of intimidation, but even when he jokes, he makes a cold sweat because he makes a creepy joke.
No, more than that, what would you think if I said something like that in that flow?
you want to kill me
I don’t know how many people can take that as a joke.
“By the way, Janus… … . Honestly, I like it better that way.”
“… … Is that so.”
“You’re not surprised this time.”
“No, I just thought it might be.”
He’s a guy who pushed the world once, but what a shame.
There must be a corner that connects.
“Do you really think so?”
“… … .”
“You know it’s not just that, do you?”
Seven pairs of dragon eyes stare at me.
The ability to read minds is quite annoying. Before talking about a poker face, it’s because you can lead the topic there on your own.
In this way, the flow itself cannot be led in an advantageous way.
“Don’t you already guess? the biggest problem.”
“Are you going to continue talking about this?”
“No, stop it. I didn’t mean to bother you.”
“Nonsense.”
Satan reacted with open annoyance, like flapping his wings or yawning.
“therefore? What do you want to ask?”
Ain who was closest to omnipotence.
And Satan, who must have been the most tyrannical.
There are many things you can ask of such a person. Compared to other demihumans, the total amount of information itself would be different.
The specific method of occupying the position of a god that has become vacant, and the weakness of the incarnation of the key.
But the question that escaped my mouth was unexpected.
“Did you make a dragon?”
Is it because of Satan’s appearance?
Suddenly I was curious about that.
Those who are stronger than any living thing, yet lonely, who shoulder the responsibility for their power in a painful way.
Rules pertaining to dragons are probably intentional.
“No, not me.”
“… … So let’s change the question. Rules for dragons. Are you the one who made the rules?”
“… … .”
The eyes of Satan, who had been acting as if he was annoying all the time, changed.
The nameless hatred of beings that are clearly classified as evil spirits.
“If so?”
“Can I change the rules when I become Ajin?”
“No.”
“… … .”
Neither impossible nor allowed.
It is possible, but it means that it is absolutely unacceptable to do so.
Satan in front of you is a fragment.
It is an existence that will naturally disappear if someone takes the place of God, which has become vacant.
But this is what I think.
Is it really so?
Will the existence in front of my eyes really disappear so easily?
no… … . Absolutely not. Looking at the power he has, he can’t.
He is a monster that can exercise the power of a god even as a fragment.
It was no coincidence that he was at the end of the daily dungeon with a certain system. He made a daily dungeon.
Even if you die, your soul will not collapse, and even if you lose your body, your vividly strong soul will take over the role of your body.
Therefore, the fragments in front of my eyes are not simple fragments, but a kind of phenomenon.
“Don’t even dream of nonsense. I don’t want to kill you.”
What the hell is unique?
Aren’t too many beings colliding in ‘one’?
“The dragon population must be maintained. And you should always be lonely.”
“Why?”
“You already know the answer.”
“If I use the name Ain, do I have to say something like that?”
If you ask me what the f*ck, they say they know everything.
“… … .”
There are only one or two such meaningful and meaningful answers. Even if I know, I might ask for confirmation.
“Hmm, hmm… … . If the dragon population increases, no creature other than dragons can survive in this world.”
“Is the power gap too great?”
“Because dragons are far away from the ecosystem.”
There is a food chain in the world.
And that food chain also keeps the world in balance.
Well, it’s the bastards who break those chains and walk around, but… … .
“It’s nothing compared to a dragon.”
Dragons are monsters that can change the map with just one battle.
What if such flying creatures like nuclear warheads were to fight, arguing with individual emotions?
The whole world becomes barren.
yeah i knew
“And just because the population is small doesn’t mean the same thing won’t happen.”
“So you have to be lonely?”
“That way, you will be able to value someone other than yourself. A satisfied monster breeds insatiable desire.”
Jinsun met Kang Chul.

Kang Chul was obsessed with Jin Sun.
Harbart shrank from endless encounters and partings.
Nyx has been living like that for the rest of her life, drawing on a being that has already died.
Tia has dedicated her life to hatching a little brother who might be born.
All of that pain became a responsibility I had to shoulder for the reasons I explained earlier.
But isn’t that also a desire?
I have seen with my own eyes how much the dragons struggle to escape their loneliness.
“Yeah, that’s right. But I don’t kill people for fun.”
“… … .”
Narrow your interests to one.
After all, even if you can do the killing of a creature carelessly, you won’t find fun there.
Made it that way.
“I was the only one who survived in a world that had become barren.”
Satan spoke as if the past, which must have been tens of thousands of years ago, is still good in his eyes.
“It was for the reasons I mentioned earlier.”
He expressed his hatred as if his own people were detestable.
“These are things I only knew when I lost everything. Do you dare to weigh the weight of that lesson?”
can’t fathom
When he erased everything on earth and created a new world, when he had to forge his own people again.
I dare not say I know what it was like.
“… … Wouldn’t it have been better if we hadn’t made a species called dragon?”
“That sounds arrogant. Does determining whether or not there are species seem so lighthearted? The dragon was a naturally occurring being. But to erase the existence of those who have evolved like that?”
“Have you already done something similar?”
He forced them into rules and pushed them away from loneliness for the rest of their lives.
“It was to save them.”
“You mean only five?”
“Even if there are only five, the history of the species continues.”
“It is a sad history.”
“So, are you saying that you will never be able to bend that decision?”
“There must be a better way.”
“… … .”
Satan narrowed his eyes and glared at me. But what was reflected in those eyes was no longer hate.
yeah, that’s… … .
“If it is your decision, then I have no choice but to respect it. Because I decided to remain as a remnant of the past.”
It was compassion.
“He said he would kill me.”
“Because what you say you’re going to do carries that much weight.”
“You mean you tested me?”
“No, it was my sincerity. I was sincere… … .”
Satan shook his head and slurred his words. Maybe there are things you don’t want to say.
But I guess.
As he said, I thought I would already know the answer without listening.
The only surviving dragon.
‘Ain’, who was the closest to omnipotence, but passed that position on to someone else.
After all, he too was a dragon.
I couldn’t stand the loneliness.
“… … Let’s stop talking about this. Is there anything else you would like to ask? The last child.”
“A way to take the place of God who has been left blank.”
Ain had said
God’s position has been constantly changing.
In the process, he said, there was a transfer along with usurpation.
But now, there is no one to usurp and no one to hand over.
The seat of God is vacant.
Then, how can I rise to the position of God?
“If the vessel of the god has already been destroyed, there is no choice but to recreate it.”
“how?”
“There are two ways. One way you know.”
“The annihilation of all faith… … .”
This is the way Janus intends to do it.
Perhaps Satan rose to the position of god in the same way.
Because there is no way that faith will remain in a world that has been destroyed.
“The other is to create a token of God by embedding the powers of God in the purest soul.”
“… … Let’s listen.”
The choice of words makes me feel uneasy, but I can’t help but listen.
“Power means the power you call the key.”
“… … okay.”
This is a fairly predictable part. And it was easy to understand.
In the first place, the key symbolized the power that corresponds to the source of this world.
‘Mana’, ‘fraud’, ‘divine power’, ‘magic’, and ‘harmony’ that weave them all together, and ‘severance’ that separates them.
It is truly the power of God.
“And a pure soul… … .”
And the words of Satan that followed.
“It means a vessel that contains nothing but divinity, without involving anything else.”
It made me speechless.
I knew of an existence that met the specific conditions he said.
“You seem to already know such an existence.”
And that revealed a truth that I couldn’t help but understand.
“Unfortunately, it cannot function as a life form if it contains authority. It is already a symbol of divinity.”
Oz created the existence of me.
The tired and exhausted guy had definitely risen to the position of a god.
And in the process, he… … .
“It’s a sacrifice to the gods.”
He would have had to put Arrieta and the world on the balance and choose one side.
* * *
The more you learn the new truth, the more you realize how tough the road ahead is. I didn’t know. Oz was already in a dilemma.
What should I do if the only way to rise to the position of god is to sacrifice Arietta or the world?
It is right to give up on ascending to the position of God. Yes, definitely.
but… … .
“I can’t leave that seat vacant any longer… … ?”
satan said.
God’s seat should not be left vacant.
It is said that the world has already reached its limit at the point where it is easy to allow the invasion of ‘external beings’.
If [Speaker’s Key] feels like a pass through the wall, the ‘outside beings’ have demolished the wall itself.
Originally, the wall that blocks the world cannot be broken down so easily.
Of course, if there is a wall, there must be someone to repair and manage it.
The one who did that was the only deity, ‘Ain’.
“hahahaha… … .”
If someone doesn’t fill that void, the walls of the world come down.
When that happens, it will no longer be a matter of ‘existence outside’.
The world itself will collapse.
“really… … . Isn’t that too much… … .”
And it was none other than Oz that accelerated the situation.
return magic.
A retrace that has been repeated dozens of times. That ruined the world even more.
It was natural. It is magic that turns the world back. I forcibly turned back the time that flowed naturally, but there’s no way it wouldn’t have been too much work.
Yes, the responsibility lies with Oz, who has turned back dozens or hundreds of times.
“Whoa… … .”
There will be a way.
There is no way that Oz just turned back time without a way. Because that’s more than irresponsible and ignorant.
It must be that there is another method besides the two methods Satan mentioned.
And I have to find a way with no clue whatsoever.
No, let’s not worry about it for now.
Right now, you have to deal with the things in front of you.
Even if you think about this for no reason, it’s not a question that will come out with an answer right away.
Yes, calmly, calmly and soberly judged… … .
“No, but this bitch.”
No matter how much it is, it’s really f*ckin’ to go diving with everything left behind… … .
At least you should suggest a way.
The more I think about it, the more I get angry.
* * *
Harbart was looking at the lead building from a distance. There is something to worry about.
A holy woman, a product of God.
It was a cruel secret that he knew because he had lived the longest among existing dragons.
‘There must be a reason why the sacrifice should have appeared at this timing.’
To be honest, Harbart did not want to get involved in anything related to God. But even knowing that a sweet and kind girl could be sacrificed, he couldn’t turn his eyes away.
“Hey, isn’t this a crime?”
“Shh, be quiet. Prina. This is for everyone.”
“Spying on others?”
“Everything has a reason.”
“Hmm… … .”
Prina, who had been living with Harbart ever since he came, looked at him with an uneasy look.
It had to be.
After coming to ＜Skientia＞, she started to learn a lot of common sense.
I know that people like Harbart are called criminals in the world.
“Well?”
The moment Prina was thinking about whether to tell Tia about such a sad truth and put Harbart in prison.
Harbart’s questionable voice broke Prina’s thoughts.
“That… … .”
Looking in the direction Harbart was looking, Prina couldn’t help but tilt her head.
It was someone I knew.
“Professor Justitia?”
someone who knows
I saw the moment of jailbreak.
“uh… … . therefore.”
“It would be okay to protect Tiamat’s nest.”
Harbart stepped in.
Although he had known each other once with Justitia, he couldn’t just sit back and watch her break the rules.
“… … .”
Prina followed him while staring disgustingly at Harbart’s inability to self-objectify.
Even if you do this and that, isn’t it your adoptive father?
“I see, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Compared to Harbart, who moved along the current, Prina, who had flown at a much slower speed, blinked at the conversation that had ended before I knew it.
I don’t know what it was, but Harbart, who insisted on following the rules, seemed to have been persuaded.
“What happened? Wasn’t he trying to stop the prison break?”
“They say it’s because of love.”
“Yeah?”
“It is said to prove love, but how can I hold on to that child? Even if you cheer me on, it won’t be enough.”
“… … .”
Harbart nodded his head, not knowing that his evaluation was falling vertically in real time in Prina’s mind.
“Cancer, love matters.”
He was a person who valued emotions more than laws and regulations.
