＜ Episode 160 ＞
A dead land that doesn’t feel life at all.
In this land full of desolation, it seemed that only John and Veyron were alive.
“It must have been a lot of hardship.”
At John’s words, Byron smiled.
“Suffering. Yes, it was really hard.”
Sew.
With a light echo, the surrounding environment began to change as if time was moving forward quickly.
A large cavity was formed and a large tower was visible in the basement of the cavity.
“Egoji in Area 0. In fact, she controls everything in this Luna.”
Just looking at the huge tower wrapped in magic lines made me feel the mighty power.
A barrier was erected around the tower, and little by little people began to gather.
The rapidly changing appearance of the surroundings added to the speed, and soon the buildings and facilities went up, and now quite a few people gathered.
In the blink of an eye, barriers are built up, zones are divided, and expansion continues.
It was to the point where I went crazy at the sight I couldn’t believe, but John’s brain was constantly thinking to analyze the current situation.
It gathers the power it has spread around it, wraps it around like armor, and firmly takes control of its surroundings.
crackle.
As the high-density compression of this ability affected the surroundings of the body, there was a shaking as if there was noise.
“Hoo. Not a bad response. yes. In battles between superhumans, it is fundamental to clearly define the territory.”
It wasn’t sarcastic, it was like a teacher teaching a student something, and it wasn’t actually wrong.
Veyron is in fact a person who can be said to be the teacher of all abilities in Luna.
Although Kaidel is called Nosa, it is nothing compared to Veyron.
I had to fight against a hostile environment and vicious enemies to raise Luna up, and in the end, the most important thing was people.
He treated each and every one of them with great care, and taught them generously, regardless of their talent.
Those who had the ability to build Luna became the hands and feet of Byron, and the experience became a habit, and Byron became a natural teacher.
Even if the target is someone who should be killed with his own hands.
“In the end, the key to a confrontation between superhumans is to force one’s own image on the opponent. To do so, the prerequisite is to clearly define the area.”
In no time at all, the situation around me had completely changed.
Skyscrapers soaring high into the sky, the boundless expanse of the city, and numerous people were busy moving and changing into Luna, full of liveliness, but only John’s surroundings remained the same as the desolate land.
The appearance of John standing in the middle of a desolate land where no life was felt was so different from Veyron, who seemed to be standing in the center of a splendid city.
A man who built a city with his bare hands and a man destined to destroy and burn everything.
Perhaps John and Bayron stand at the most stark contrast.
“······yes. That is your nature.”
Veyron’s dark eyes looked at John with a gaze that seemed to dig up everything, and John’s gaze, which sat down coldly, stared at Veyron with full of vigilance.
“I got a foreknowledge.”
Byron’s voice penetrated John’s ears.
“Foreknowledge that it might destroy Luna. It is a foreknowledge that depending on what choice I make, the Luna I cultivated with my own hands may be destroyed.”
“Does someone like you believe in foreknowledge?”
While becoming a superman and training himself, John never neglected his quest for abilities, and among them was knowledge.
Prediction is variable.
After all, foreknowledge is determining what is most likely to happen in the future, and such foreknowledge can change the outcome.
Even more so if the target of that knowledge is a superman.
It is meaningless to calculate probabilities based on the world when one imposes one’s image on the world.
“A little special example. It’s a technology from the era of the Great War.”
John’s eyes sank deeply.
Wisdom applied with the technology of the Great War era.
It was a time when absurd technologies overflowed, so Byron’s words would not be false, and with such foresight, he might have solved the curiosity in John’s mind.
‘I’ll have to remember that.’
John, who got a hint, stored the previous information in one side of his head, and Byron’s words continued.
“I don’t believe in fate. If I had trusted and obeyed my fate, I wouldn’t have come this far. Same goes for this one. In the end, I have to see it with my own eyes and decide.”
The Oracle’s foreknowledge was absolute and unmistakable until now, but Veyron is a superhuman among superhumans.
If he hadn’t been obsessed with Luna, he might have taken off his human womb and been reborn as a transcendental being.
In exchange for obsessing over Luna and maintaining her existence on the ground, she is unable to use most of her powers, but nevertheless possesses more powerful abilities than anyone else.
As much as he was, he wanted to see it with his own eyes, and in his eyes, John seemed to be worthy of being called the Seed of Destruction, just as the Oracle had said.
The power he has in his body, the power that is sure to increase in the future, the terrifying propensity for destruction hidden deep in his essence, and the fate he will face.
It looked like a disaster so there was no room for disagreement, and it would be right to end his life right away, but even so, Byron couldn’t do that.
will.
Although destined to burn and destroy the world, a man named John Doe realized at once that he was rejecting that fate with his will.
‘······perhaps.’
The anger in his heart was enough to burn the world, but his cold rationality controlled it, and his murderous intentions, which should have spread indiscriminately, were meekly refined and directed in only one direction.
‘Maybe interest is hope.’
The alien beings who wanted to destroy Luna, burn life, and obtain vast karma were well aware of it.
Citizens as well as members of the city council do not know, but even at this moment, Byron is resisting the invasion of aliens.
So far, I’ve been blocking it well, but it also feels like I’ve reached the limit, and more than anything, there wasn’t that much time left for Byron.
‘In the end, it is the spear that crushes the enemy, not the shield.’
An incarnation of destruction with the power to burn the stars.
If I could turn the tip of the spear toward the enemy, wouldn’t it be possible to protect Luna’s safety?
In the heart of the great superman who was protecting Luna with only one unbreakable will, a thread of hope quietly raised his head, but Veyron’s expression did not change.
“Looks like you’re trying to do something dangerous.”
A calm voice pierced John’s ears like thunder.
‘Then I’ll have to try it.’
All I want is Luna’s comfort and prosperity.
For that, Vayron could do anything.
“It makes me anxious because it looks like the kids are playing with fire.”
Zeng!
“Kuk!”
The room reverberated loudly, and a moan escaped from John’s mouth.
The wasteland that spread around John.
The wasteland was being eaten little by little by the splendid city, and it was a story that John’s territory was shrinking.
It is an unimaginable amount of pain for John, who is the first person to experience having his images suppressed and imprisoned by his will.
that buck
Veyron took a step.
Zeng!
“Keugh!”
It was a simple action, but John’s area shrank greatly and shrank.
Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and his face was full of pain, but what was reflected in his eyes was a cold gaze.
Veyron nodded inwardly at those eyes and opened his mouth in a relaxed voice.
“Prove it. If you give in to this, I have no choice but to stop you.”
Even if only part of it is summoned, a demon is a demon.
Since the true body of the transcendent is summoned to the ground, the impact will be indescribable, and even if it is slightly twisted, an unbelievable disaster will descend.
It would not be impossible to respond if all the strength of Veyron himself and Luna were mobilized, but what about the sacrifices and damages that follow?
Originally, it would be appropriate to block and imprison John right away, but considering Luna’s current situation and the remaining time of Byron, John’s idea cannot be rejected just like that.
A pre-emptive strike, not a defense.
Isn’t this an idea suitable for Luna, where blood and violence are rampant?
And such thoughts were no different for Byron, and he had to make sure he was qualified to take the risk.
The pressure mounts and the wasteland on which John stands shrinks as it turns into a city.
The wasteland, which covered a fairly large area, continued to shrink and now shrunk to about 20 meters in all directions.
That much damage was done to John’s mind and body, and the fresh blood that continued to flow down became thick enough to collect on the ground.
At this rate, excessive blood loss could lead to death.
Although all hope was extinguished by a mighty power he had never imagined, and the fear that he might die like this began to enter John’s heart.
“… don’t be funny.”
A gurgling voice came out from the mixture of blood bubbles.
The area around her mouth was stained with blood, and her eyes, which radiated dark red light, seemed to have burst blood vessels, and tears of blood were flowing down.
What is contained in those eyes is the most cold-hearted killing and the most savage anger.
Even Veyron hardened his expression slightly at the sight of two completely opposite emotions in his eyes.
I’ve lived a long time, but I haven’t seen anyone with eyes like this.
“Who is testing whom?”
hook.
A small fire lit up.
“Why are you trying to move and manipulate people on your own?”
The anger filled in the suppressed voice seems to set the whole world on fire.
“It always has been. He handed over absurd missions and wanted them to succeed. They don’t get blood on their hands and pass the blame on to others.”
Hwareuk.
Dark red flames were transferred to John’s blood pooled on the floor.
“I barely got out. I barely escaped to live in the world with my own will. By the way!”
Roaring!
Dark red flames began to rise and gain momentum, and Veyron, who grasped the hideous nature of it, shook his shoulders.
“Throw it into this world without any consent and tell it to be destroyed and burned. Do you think I will follow you!”
supportive!
Dark red flames covered the entire wasteland, clinging to the boundaries of the city and starting to heat up the space.
“Well.”
The fire of destruction that has the potential to burn everything in the world and destroy even the stars.
The flame that blooms as a driving force behind the anger hidden deep in John’s heart is a purification of destruction that Veyron has never even imagined.
Fuhwa Chemistry!
A huge flame crossed the boundary and began to burn Luna.
The colorful buildings of the city caught fire, the ground began to melt, and passers-by turned to ash before they could shout anything.
“I asked you to prove your qualifications.”
The fixer, who had shrunk his body straight, stood in the middle of the dark red flames and made a sullen expression.
As the fire spread and burned Luna and spread in all directions, seeing the sight of burning everything, Veyron couldn’t say anything.
“This is my qualification.”
In a world full of gray ashes and dark red flames, only the solver stood alone.
