The branch manager’s office of the Rezero branch of the Moon Eye.
“ Uh… … Every time I see it, I can’t get used to it.”
With her body half buried in the large chair there, Nari murmured.
In her mind, the image of Prince Zion, whom she had seen earlier, came to mind.
Even after seeing him for a long time, the unique charisma felt by Prince Zion was still difficult to endure.
‘ But… … Why is he asking you to find out?’
With that in mind, Narie recalled the instructions given by Prince Sion a while ago.
Reconnaissance of six places that exist at the very end even outside the City of Light.
They were seemingly unrelated and unimportant places.
It had no value as a tourist destination, so there were very few people.
Therefore, the average person would have heard the question ‘why?’
But she knew what those places meant.
‘ Places that play a key role in the sealing of the rebellious angel.’
One of the origins of the city of light, Rezero, is the sealing theory of the fallen angel.
Taking over all information about the city from the former head of the Legero branch, she knew the origins were true.
And even secretly managing them in the Church of Light.
‘ It’s questionable that Prince Zion knew about it even though I didn’t say it… … .’
It was even more questionable as to why he suddenly asked them to investigate them.
Rather, it would have been understandable if it was about the disappearance of the contestants of the saints in Legero.
However,
‘ Prince Zion, whom I have seen so far, has never given any instructions.’
That said, there was a high probability that there were problems that Nari did not understand.
Along with him, an ominous ominousness invaded her mind.
‘ I knew that the church was strictly managing it… … .’
at that time,
“ Chief of the branch!”
The door swung open and a man came in.
He was one of the informants who sent an investigation of the seals at Prince Zion’s instructions a few hours ago.
Before Narie even asked him what was going on,
“ Wow, that’s a big deal!”
Reports poured out like rapid-fire cannons from the informant’s mouth with the urgent first words.
and with him,
“!!!!!”
Nari’s face began to harden rapidly.

A hallway leading to the depths of the Church of Light.
“ So the oracle just came down and I was mentioned there?”
As he walked down that hallway with Bishop Paulo, who had come to pick him up, Zion asked.
A while ago, in the corridor of light, Paulo and the priests bowed their heads in a loud greeting, and all eyes around them gathered.
“ Not to the extent mentioned, but the light directly designated Zeon.”
To him, Bishop Paulo answered, unable to erase the passion in his eyes, as if there was still a lingering impression of hearing the oracle.
In some ways, the word designation might seem strange, but it suited the oracle that came down a while ago.
Because the oracle was referring to the external characteristics of the character Zeon Harness.
So I was able to find it right away.
‘ This oracle is the first in history except for the hero.’
Therefore, the archbishops and bishops who are currently managing the oracle were in a state of shock.
It was unprecedented, so I had no idea what this designation meant.
‘ Still, it would be right to take the person appointed by the light to the room of the Holy Word.’
The Holy Room was the place where the oracles were downloaded.
at that time,
“ Have you ever come into contact with the eye of the moon?”
Shion, who had been walking silently for a moment, asked him.
“ The eye of the moon? Isn’t that the information guild? I haven’t used it recently… … .”
Paulo responds with a face that asks why are you asking him.
‘ Wasn’t it too?’
Actually, it was weird from the beginning.
Because there was no way the people who were supposed to be in secret contact would come to find Zion himself, screaming so openly.
Now, you are right to think that these priests have absolutely nothing to do with the dignitaries she has recruited.

Moreover, it was impossible to forge the oracle even if it was a high-ranking member of the denomination in the first place.
‘ I think this one is better.’
Thanks to you, I was headed straight to the oracle.
However, he could not understand why the God of Light descended to such an oracle to find him.
‘ If you go, you’ll find out.’
How far inside did you go with that thought?
Sion was finally able to arrive at the oracle place called the Chamber of the Holy Prophecy, beyond the strict guards of the high-ranking paladins, whose strength one by one was comparable to the elite knights of the Imperial Castle.
‘It’s not that big.’
Sion thought as he entered the room.
As in other places, white walls filled the room, and in the center there was only one statue of Luminus, the god of light, and there were no other objects.
A room that looks plain and simple.
In such a room, the dignitaries of the denomination had gathered and their eyes were shining.
“ Have you finally brought it?”
Among them, an old man with no hair but a long beard approached Zion and opened his mouth.
It was Verdio, one of the only six archbishops in the Church of Light.
“ Yes, this is him.”
“ Oh! Nice to meet you, specifier of light. My name is Verdio.”
The old man’s attitude toward Zion was very polite.
It was impossible to know the identity of the other person, but the God of Light directly designated it, which meant that it was comparable to a Pope or a hero in conformity alone.
Shion nodded at him and opened his mouth.
“ I want to hear why you brought me here.”
I came here to inquire about the contents of the oracle, but that was his reason, not theirs.
At Zion’s reaction, Verdio’s eyes lit up with a slightly surprising light.
No matter how much they are trying to capture it, the pressure of the divine power implicitly flowing from the body of the bishop-level priests, including him, must be considerable.
But the man in front of him was letting go of all the pressure without blinking an eye.
‘ Are you also the one appointed by the light?’
Verdio nodded inwardly and continued with a smile.
“ We don’t know that either. Because the light is calling. so… … How about listening for yourself?”
With those words, the archbishop’s gaze turned to the statue in the center of the Holy Room.
“ I do.”
After answering as if he understood his words, Sion moved slowly and headed towards the statue.
You probably had to be in front of me, but it seemed that you could hear the oracle.
Accordingly, the eyes of the priests focused on Zion.
There were strange expectations in their eyes.
jerk.
In the meantime, Shion, who arrived right in front of him, stopped walking and looked at the face of the god.
Contrary to expectations, there was no reaction at all.
‘ Isn’t this?’
It was a moment of little doubt in Shion’s eyes as she thought so.
Whoa ah ah ah ah!
Without any warning, a tremendous light burst out from the whole body of the deity.
The light that covers the entire room in an instant, and that is not enough, extends to the entire depths of the church!
It was so bright and dazzling that it blinded the eyes of the beholder for a moment.
“… … Come on, this is it!”
Verdio’s eyes, reflecting the light on his head, began to color with astonishment.
It was the first time he saw a violent reaction from the gods, who had dedicated his life to the denomination.
This was by no means an oracle.
that exist far above that.
A solitary and far-off miracle that has only been accomplished once in the history of the doctrine!
“ Go, river… … !”
It was the moment when the next words continued from the archbishop’s mouth.
Tickle!
Everything stopped.
The baptism of light that burst forth.
Verdio and the other priests, who opened their mouths wide with astonished eyes.
Flowchart of atmosphere and mana.
and even the movement of space.
time.
At this moment, time here stood still.
‘ This is… … .’
For some reason, a woman standing next to the statue came into the eyes of Zion, who was the only one who could move in the frozen time.
No, I didn’t know if it was the right woman or not.
I just thought of that because my hair, shining golden as if it was made by melting the sun, came down to my waist.
It doesn’t make sense, but the blurry faces of such ‘beings’ contained men and women, as well as the elderly and children.
‘ Well, it doesn’t matter?’
Shion smiled lightly with that thought.
It was the first time he had seen it, but Shion knew who the being in front of him was.
Because only the immortals were the only beings that could cause so much goosebumps and tremors in Zion’s own body, and among those immortals, there was only one being who would appear at this moment.
Luminus, god of light.
God of light, sun, and mercy, and the most powerful god in the world.
‘ I didn’t know he would show up in person.’
At best, I expected to hear a few words from an oracle that was like a one-sided notification, but I’m sure it will come.
This was a situation that even Zion had not expected.
Of course, this one was better.
at that time,
– It’s the first time I’ve seen it in this time period. The king of black
Luminus opened his mouth as he approached Shion.
neutral voice.
Dedede!
Just by opening the mouth, the still time and space vibrate as if it would break.
It was a far-fetched event beyond imagination, but there was something else that made Shion more concerned than that.
Just a word.
The word Luminus just uttered had many meanings.
“… … This time?”
– Haven’t you already guessed it? That the world right now is the future, not in a novel.
At the words of God, Zion’s eyes sank.
Of course, I was pretty sure it was going to happen before.
But hearing those words directly from Luminus’s mouth like this gave me a different feeling.
‘ Besides, I seem to know exactly who I am and what my situation is.’
No matter how God is, he is not omnipotent.
Yet there was only one thing he knew so well.
at that time,
– If you have any questions, don’t think alone, ask me directly. Because that’s why it came down like this.
Luminous opened his mouth, with his face distorted as if smiling as he looked at Shion.
– I will try to answer all questions within a line that does not violate causality and the contract. In a way, we are on the same boat.
“ One time? What do you mean?”
Shion folds the thoughts in his head and asks God.
– Both of them hope that the world will not be destroyed, so what is it that they are in the same boat?
Looking at the god who answered as if it was natural, Shion asked the question again.
“ Okay. Then change the question. Why am I here?”
It was the most fundamental question and the content that Zion wanted to know the most.
After reading the Chronicle of Flosimar, I only closed and opened my eyes once, because I was transported to this world.
So I couldn’t even guess why.
– It’s that simple. to save this world. You know that the future of this world will end in destruction.
At Luminus’ words, Shion nodded.
– It was fate. A fate that can never be changed by mortals trapped in reincarnation. Although the only hero who could change such fate appeared… … Even that ended in failure.
It was the content of the Flosimar chronicle and the history of fate recorded in this world.
– Therefore, ‘we’ had to find a new existence. A being who can change the fate of the world, but has not yet reached immortality and can interfere with the world. Still, an existence that far surpasses that of a warrior. ‘We’ searched through the present, the future, and the past, and eventually found the most suitable entity.
Endless divinity and dizziness are young in Luminus’s hazy eyes.
– That was you. Emperor.
After those words, the god of light looks at Zion for a moment.
– Oh, and one thing.
Immediately after that from Luminous’s mouth,
– To avoid misunderstanding, it is true that we found you, but you were the first to offer to save this world.
Extraordinary words came out.
