jing.
A word from a superhuman born destined for destruction came out into the world, and the will contained in that word hurt the world.
“Well!”
Hawk’s dwelling, filled with images of Hawk and supported by Fioren’s barrier, was a structure that made it difficult for other forces to invade, but John’s will contained in a word could not prevent it from digging into the world.
“······yes. I get it.”
Regarding seeing, not only Hawk, who had reached a level that no superhuman had reached, but also Fioren, who had reached a superhuman level as a prisoner, could not fail to feel it, and Fioren was able to let go of her wariness towards John.
A superman who imposes his image on the world.
If you are a superman who has reached such a level, you cannot say a single word carelessly.
It is because he gets the attention of causality in return for escaping from the causality of the world and fulfilling his own laws.
A word spoken carelessly comes back as a cause and effect, and if you don’t keep the words you said properly, you will experience the rebound in your body.
It can be hurt, it can reduce your ability, and in the worst case, it can lead to a crisis of life.
It is said that if you become a mature superhuman, you can feel this flow of cause and effect and skillfully control all of your actions, or even slightly deviate from the flow of cause and effect, but John, who has just become a superhuman, could not know such tricks.
“Right.”
The will contained in John’s words was engraved in the world, and silence fell on the afterglow for a while, and Hawk’s eyes, which had lost their light, turned to John.
A strange light shimmered in his pupils, which remained dim, and at that moment, John felt as if Hawke’s gaze was digging deep into his inner self.
Humans build minimal walls to protect themselves.
Wearing a mask that looks kind and living as a member of society while suppressing the original personality, it is common to show the original appearance only to a few exceptional people, but Hawk’s gaze was ignoring all of that and trying to dig into John’s inner side. Feeling that, John reflexively raised his strength.
A natural reaction for humans.
No one wants to show their insides to others.
“Do not resist.”
John shook his shoulders at Hawke’s words filled with heavy energy.
“If you resist, it becomes difficult for me to see. It’s not that I can’t see it, but it will take that much time.”
“yes.”
John took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Uh.
As the space resonated, John and Fioren’s gaze reversed.

that buck
The metal passageway was so smooth that even a giant golem could pass through it, and it had the power to amplify even a small sound, so the regular sound of small footsteps rang loudly like thunder.
There were no visual disturbances due to the regular array of dimly lit light sources, but the long, undecorated passageway caused a visceral revulsion, and an ordinary person might panic right away upon entering it.
It’s been an hour since I entered such a passage.
The lawmakers, who moved only on their own two feet without any means of transportation, found this situation quite awkward, but they were just silently walking down the aisle following Byron.
It was the first time I knew of the existence of a huge passage located underground in District 4, but everyone guessed what would exist at the end of this passage.
“Well?”
“Is anything going on?”
The Chairman questioned the appearance of Byron, who stopped walking with a small sound, but Byron did not reply and looked as if he was contemplating something.
At that unusual expression and appearance, the lawmakers all stopped and watched Beyron, and how much time had passed like that.
After a short period of silence, Vayron let out a small sigh and stepped back, and the members of the council were full of questions, but they couldn’t open their mouths to Vayron, who was making a serious expression.
I was full of curiosity, but the chairman didn’t even speak.
It was clear that Veyron would open his mouth if he thought it was necessary, and it was the old man’s wisdom to wait that long.
Perhaps feeling such a sign, Beyron, who had been silently moving his steps, opened his mouth.
“Someone has carved an oath into the world. The strength itself is not great, but the will is not common.”
At the words of Byron, everyone’s expressions changed.
Engraving one’s will into the world means that the target is a superman, and there is no one here who doesn’t know the gravity of a superman doing such an action.
“······I think the market is greater than that. It’s not like I’m always keeping an eye on the flow of the world.”
At someone’s words, everyone’s eyes gathered on Byron, and Byron laughed.
“It’s a trivial hobby.”
“…that hobby is what keeps Luna alive.”
Even at the meaningful words of the Chairman, Byron’s expression did not change, and they continued to move.
“It is a time of upheaval. The motion of the stars is out of order, and gods and demons are shaking their heavy asses. Unusual forces are stirring in the desolate land outside the city, and new changes have taken place inside Luna.”
“Destruction and Players.”
At someone’s words, Byron nodded in affirmation.
“yes. The flow of the world shouldn’t be twisted by force, but the current change is too radical. At this rate, Luna might be swept away by that flow and destroyed. I don’t want that.”
When the ruined land was filled with only despair, he gathered people and built a city with only two hands.
She has developed and protected Luna for a long time, and did not hesitate to pay any price if necessary.
the city that kept it.
A cradle that might be the last bastion of the human species.
That’s why Byron lived to protect Luna, and he had to put his feet on the ground while paying a huge price.
No one knows how great the longing he holds in his heart is.
It is said that the chairman spent the most time with Veyron, but he is also a child compared to Veyron.
Seeing that the guardian deity, who always seemed to protect himself and Luna, was nervous, the chairman couldn’t help but feel confused.
The same goes for the members of Parliament who are second to none in Luna when it comes to greed and power.
How long had it been since they followed Veyron with complex thoughts in their heads?
They were able to arrive in front of a large door, and several lawmakers who saw the door gasped.
It was an ordinary steel barrier, but there were no people here who did not know the meaning of the numbers engraved on the door.
0.
The number 0 engraved on the door that was crudely closed without any decorations.
They had reached Area 0 before they knew it, and this is Luna’s center and source.

Uh.
A sea of stars came into John’s field of vision when he opened his eyes with a strange ringing sound all over his body.
The sea of stars he had seen when he went to meet the witch, and had seen it in his encounter with the mother, was again unfolding before John’s eyes.
“Well.”
With a short groan, the organs began to pulsate and emit this ability, and the power that took over John’s body began to fix the space.
It’s already the third time I’ve been here.
Important things happened in John’s life every time he came, so it’s only natural to be vigilant.
“It looks familiar.”
A nervous gaze returned to the light voice, and Hawk and Fioren stood there.
‘No. The expression of standing is a bit like that.’
The place where they are is a space that can be called the sea of stars.
As if John was fixing the space with this ability, each person’s ability was showing off.
“What is this? It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”
Fioren, wearing a barrier tightly woven with red thread, looked around with a voice full of interest.
The magician’s eyes, gleaming with curiosity and madness, seemed to pierce the space itself, and the red thread cautiously stretched out in all directions, watching for reactions.
beep profit.
A vague echo came from somewhere, and it wasn’t too difficult to find the source.
hawk.
It was because the illusion of a large, lofty-looking hawk was enveloping it as if it were embracing a hawk.
It was transparent and blurry, so that the movements of the stars behind it could be clearly seen, but the hawk’s head, held high in arrogance, was watching all directions with wide eyes, and it seemed that nothing could hurt Hawk at least in this space. .
“It is alien. No, I should say outside the planet to be precise.”
“······What?”
Fioren made a shocked expression at Hawke’s calm words, and John was no different.
I thought it was an unusual space, but I never imagined it would be a real universe.
“That’s Luna.”
A light was visible where Hawke pointed his finger, and at that moment the light rapidly expanded and the planet was visible.
Changes to the extent that it is impossible to distinguish whether the planet is approaching or they are approaching the planet.
A dull-colored atmosphere enveloped the planet, and an unusual aura was eroding the planet’s surface through holes drilled here and there.
The planet, which should have been full of greenery, was extremely rough, and most of the environments where it was impossible for life to survive.
And in the middle of such a wasteland, there was a city that emitted light, and the city was shining like a lighthouse, illuminating part of the planet.
I felt nostalgic.
A city that somehow manages to make a presence out of the land that has become a wasteland and continues to hope.
The feeling that he was so pitiful and lovable that he had to protect and care for him somehow welled up from the depths of his heart, and Fioren couldn’t help but be surprised by his change.
“That is normal. That’s what hope is.”
Hawk muttered, as if he had noticed such a change in Fioren, and although he had a calm expression, Hawk’s expression also seemed to be full of passion.
“······yes. Certainly I am a stranger.”
But John’s expression did not change.
A fire wriggled deep in my heart and I felt like I wanted to destroy that fragile lighthouse right away, but that’s it.
It was an insignificant emotion for a person given the name of destruction, and it was nothing to John to calm his emotions that much.
Hawk and Fioren, who looked at John, nodded lightly.
Neither sympathy nor contempt, the middle.
That’s why I was able to trust John’s gaze as if he was looking at things.
“Well then, what should I do?”
For a while, Fioren turned her glistening gaze to Hawk.
“I’ll have to look for it.”
Light shone in the pupils, where only faint traces remained, and the head of the great hawk wrapped around the hawk lifted upright.
“Who sent that friend here?”
Beep beep.
Along with Hawke’s words, the great hawk let out a long cry.
“Hut!”
At that moment, John and Fioren could feel countless stares filling all directions.
