Among the stars that shine brightly and embroider space, a place where stars that emit dark red light are gathered.
The sticky red light entangled with each other, forming a single nebula.
A black line touched the nebula that was slowly encroaching on the sea of stars, casting a red light that felt ominous just by looking at it.
“…Is that it?”
“Looks like it.”
He looked down at the lines extending from his body.
The black line, which is not a brilliant black color, but a mass of dull darkness, has not lost its presence even while crossing the sea of stars, and the place where the extended line touches is a nebula that emits an ominous light.
“yes. A person who instigates destruction is not a proper person.”
So John agreed.
That ominous nebula is the one who kidnapped John and dropped him in Luna.
The corners of his eyes narrowed, and a chilly sense of life bloomed, and the anger that was suppressed deep in his heart welled up.
Roaring.
A flame that looked like a dark red light exuding an ominous energy rose around John, and the flame that began to burn wildly engulfed the space.
“……This is amazing.”
Beep beep.
The great hawk let out a cry of warning, and Hawk involuntarily took a step back.
flame.
The dark red flames that rose from John’s body burned the sea of stars itself and engulfed the space.
Truly the incarnation of destruction.
The flame that began to burn based on John’s ability had the power to burn everything in the world and even turn space itself into ashes.
A space that has been burned like that is a place that no longer belongs to the logic of the world.
All that remains of the place where darkness is burned is gray ashes.
“I am not ashamed of the name of destruction.”
“Are you awake? Fioren.”
Fioren was standing next to Hawk, looking at John, who was lighting up a flame, with hollow eyes.
“It is beyond imagination. Anything that touches that flame will burn. Regardless of tangible or intangible.”
The danger of John’s flame was clearly visible in the eyes of Fioren, who overcame his inner self and took a step forward.
“Ability?”
“yes. Magic, martial arts, sorcery, and superpowers.”
Fioren’s eyes narrowed and began to emit a strange light.
“Only pure strength can endure and resist to some extent. I have a bad temper. Well, maintaining that level of power in real life is a different story.”
With the knowledge accumulated as a wizard, the wisdom accumulated while rolling around the world, and the special eyes possessed by a superman, Fioren was able to look into John’s inner world a little at this moment.
“That’s the devil.”
Fioren’s gaze went to the nebula that touched John’s string, and he came to a conclusion at once.
“The devil.”
“Even if it’s a devil, it’s a convenient term. In other worlds, they may be worshiped as gods. Depending on what kind of intention you have, your perspective will change.”
A cold smile formed on Fioren’s lips.
“They are the ones who want to destroy Luna, so of course we should call them demons.”
Transcendentalists are no longer fearful to Fioren, who has overcome fear and changed herself.
Even if one’s strength does not reach the tips of one’s feet, it is to resist, struggle, and struggle to the end.
Isn’t that the fundamental purpose of life, for survival?
There was no longer an option to succumb to a mage who enjoyed making fun of the world.
Hwareuk.
The dark red flame that burned the space moved to the black line, and soon began to burn at a frightening speed.
Roaring.
Far away in the sea of stars, a black line that was so long that it was impossible to guess how far it was was burned with dark red flames, and a line was formed that crossed the sea of stars.
John stares at the nebula with terrifying eyes, clenches his fists, and the flames that have increased their momentum run toward the nebula while splendidly flowing.
A fire that consumes everything.
This fire could burn the stars.
The moment when the flame containing John’s anger and murder sped through the sea of stars at the same speed as light, and was about to reach the nebula at any moment.
– You who are destined to set the world on fire.
A huge echo filled the sea of stars.
***
“Ugh!”
A reverberation that seemed to vibrate the space itself hit the party, and at that moment, Fioren felt sick to his stomach.
All the negative energy contained in the words had an effect on his body.
Beep!
The great hawk roared wildly, and the power contained in the echo spread out to protect the party, and only then did Fioren feel the concussion settle down a little.
Hawk’s eyes, which had lost their light, were looking at the nebula that was emitting dark red light in the distance, and Fioren, who stole his mouth, made a terrifying expression.
Roaring!
John’s flame, which had shrunk for a moment, burned even more fiercely, and crossed the sea of stars along the line at a speed equal to that momentum.
– Why don’t you follow your own destiny.
A resonance filled with feelings of incomprehensibility spread across the sea of stars again, and it was clear that an ordinary person would go mad the moment they touched even a piece of that resonance.
– You were born with the destiny of burning and destroying everything in the world. Don’t you yourself know best?
Fioren and Hawk looked at John with shocked expressions at what Woollim was saying, and John hardened his expression, engulfed in dark red flames.
John’s life on Earth before falling on Luna.
Even if it was the incarnation of destruction, there was nothing to say.
– You have gained power worthy of your destiny. If so, you must follow the fate given to you. Why do you want to reverse fate?
Emotions from echoes change from moment to moment.
It’s like screaming, and it’s like soothing a child.
It sounded like secretly tempting or solemnly guiding.
Those ever-changing emotions became a whirlpool and tried to mess with John’s mind, and Fioren, who felt that his mind was shaken just by feeling the aftermath, created a barrier.
– The only way you should go is to adapt to your given role and follow your destiny. Burning the world and destroying the stars, at the end there will be a great path of transcendence.
“…was it not only destruction, but also a destiny prepared for transcendence?”
Fioren put on a frightened expression at Hawke’s murmur.
When you reach the state and become a superhuman, you can say that you have escaped the human womb to some extent.
but still alive.
Although it is said to wield power that looks like a god to ordinary people, it cannot escape the limits of living things.
It may live a long life, but one day it will die.
At the end, like all living things, death comes.
However, superhumans can achieve transcendence if they repeat endless training and introspection and follow the luck of passing through the eye of a needle.
It takes off the womb of a living being and transforms into a spiritual body, ascends to heaven, gains the power to deal with the principles of the world, and has an eternal and immortal lifespan, so people call this a god.
A person with a destiny reserved as such a transcendent.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that you will become a transcendentalist unconditionally, but it is undeniable that you are in an extremely advantageous position.
“It will not be the incarnation of destruction, but rather the destruction itself.”
The power that John now has is terrifying, but it was not clear how much power he would have if he achieved transcendence and had a status.
“It might really set the stars on fire.”
Fioren couldn’t deny what Hawk muttered.
– So, seed of perdition. You will conform to the destiny that has been arranged for you. Burn Luna, destroy the stars, complete cause and effect, and go to your place.
An intense temptation.
– In order for a transcendent to be born, there must be a foundation of countless lives. Their sacrifices are extremely reasonable and willing, so you just have to be happy and make their sacrifices a rock.
Fioren’s eyes shook.
A fate reserved for you to become a transcendentalist if you just close your eyes and burn the city.
Even he, who thinks he has gone a step further, is feeling this intense temptation, but what about John, the person involved in it?
Truly the devil’s whisper.
Fioren couldn’t guarantee that even if he was in John’s position, he wouldn’t be shaken.
‘······Even now.’

My fingers move intricately, and a red line secretly emerges, concocting a formula.
It’s a place close to the world of imagination, but that’s why it can cause damage.
Although Fioren specializes in barriers, she is not ignorant of attack magic, and among them there are spells that intensively damage the mind.
There was no way that Hawk was unaware of Fioren’s movements, but he too was stiffening his expression terribly.
A prepared transcendent and an incarnation of destruction.
The buds have already germinated, and they must be trampled on before they grow and bloom.
At that time when the eyes of the hawk narrow due to the coy life, and it is about to raise its claws right away.
Roaring!
The flames flared up even more fiercely, and I straightened my waist, which had shrunk from the reverberation that shook the sea of stars.
Roaring!
The sparks raced along the line even faster than before, and they almost reached the nebula.
– What are you doing! Doom!
The temptation that was full of moments ago disappeared without a trace, and what was in its place was embarrassment.
Fioren and Hawk, who looked away with a surprised look, looked at John’s expression, which was colder than ever.
Chick.
The tobacco I took out before I knew it caught fire, and white smoke that shouldn’t exist spread out to the sea of stars.
“after.”
The flames that embraced the smoke burned even more fiercely, and John with a calm expression glared at Sungwoon and opened his mouth.
“I don’t promise tomorrow.”
crackle.
The tobacco turned to dust and disappeared.
“People have to live looking into the future, but I can’t do that. Why is that?”
A fearsome life force emanated from John’s whole body, and the frightened falcon struck a great blow.
“It’s because I fell for Luna just when I was just about to promise my future.”
The cold life became a type and became a gray blade.
“You made it that way. can’t promise tomorrow It just made me focus on surviving each day.”
clap.
The revolver in my hand was stretched toward the nebula.
“To make it like that and promise a glorious future?”
– aaa!
The flame reached the nebula, and although it was a small flame, the flame that burned everything for free was no exception, even if it was a nebula that emitted dark red light.
Roaring!
It was far away, but the momentum of the flames was clearly visible.
“I said it was the incarnation of destruction.”
Kirik.
John drew the revolver’s hammer.
“I am willing to destroy you.”
bang!
The trigger was pulled, and a 50 BMG bullet filled with John’s anger and will shot through the sea of stars.
