98 – Fetal Movement (4)
I was able to read the letters and pictures engraved on the back of a man named Miles.
After confirming this, Miles became much more cooperative with me.
Because they understand the essence of mana a little better than ordinary humans, they can use magic even if they are influenced by magic tools that interrupt the flow of mana.
It is strong enough to fight swords with knights.
However, Miles is only a skirmisher when compared to the forces of other continents targeting the continent of Akradium.
Just as Sir Pedro said, he was nothing more than a mischievous person.
Perhaps that was why Miles answered my questions one by one with his own words.
“For a rat, there is a world that suits him…. “Humans are a race that can do anything to live.”
Triceratops suddenly came to mind.
Yes, it is said that several dinosaurs, including Triceratops, existed on Earth.
However, for some reason, the dinosaurs met their end, and as time passed, life forms that became the origins of mankind were born.
After the dinosaurs, which pose the greatest threat to humans, became extinct.
But what was this world like?
Humanity was born into a world where creatures as dangerous as or even more dangerous than dinosaurs roamed around.
A harsh life must have awaited the lowest species in the ecosystem.
They hid to avoid the molars of predators.
It seemed like it was an underground tunnel.
“In difficult times, heroes are born. Their existence has become a small light for humanity.”
Thanks to the existence of those heroes, humanity did not face extinction.
But the limitations were clear.
They wanted peace of mind.
They desperately hoped that the Absolute or Superhuman would appear and save them.
“A day when the full moon rises and mana is filled with will and power…. They recognized us.”
Avoid going out on nights when the full moon is up.
It was a story that had been going on in the empire for a very long time.
Mana contains will and power….
“But this world was too narrow for them. That’s why they wanted a representative….”
I don’t know why, but it seems that life forms that could be called foreign gods were not able to descend directly on this planet.
I think there was probably some condition.
That is why they seem to have needed an agent such as a ‘shaman’ or a ‘saint’.
‘… ‘Are you a witch who worships the shadow of the end?’
The puzzles, which had been empty as if there were holes, began to fit together one by one.
Why did Priscilla become a shadowy person who believed in and followed a strange god?
Priscilla was a window representing God’s will.
This is probably because those strange creatures cannot fully exercise their will in this world.
The Count Arbest family had already reached its limit.
If the same story as The Garden of Thorns had continued, Priscilla’s family would have already fallen apart.
In such a situation, Priscilla, who was abandoned by me, became abandoned by her family and lost her will to live.
The alien god, who was always targeting this place, targeted Priscilla.
‘It is the mana of darkness.’
Priscilla’s body contains the remnants of God.
The life form that came from outer space probably utilized the remnants of the god that resided in Priscilla’s body.
Perhaps the fact that Priscilla and I lost our lives here was part of the bigger picture for him.
He must have been trying to use Priscilla to exert influence over this empire at some point.
According to Cynthia’s expression, Priscilla showed her shadow even outside of the Maximilian route.
This means that even in places other than the Maximilian route, Priscilla became a servant of foreign media.
‘Is that what the drug is like…? .’
People who are addicted to drugs gradually show abnormalities in their appearance.
If such people overflow the system, those who worship foreign media and have gone crazy will also be seen as normal.
It was truly an elaborate modification.
‘Can I protect the empire with my current capabilities?’
If I had not been able to recall the memories of my past life through falling from a horse, what would have happened to the empire?
First of all, I would have just followed the story I saw in the Garden of Thorns.
From Noble mtl dot com
The story of Kyle, Ludwig, and Johann is rather passable.
Maximilian must have been alive too.
Then, will the surviving Maximilian awaken the mana of the sun?
I don’t know about that.
This is because their story ended with the spotlight on each person’s story of becoming a knight commander, prime minister, and great paladin.
“Repent even now. “You cowardly apostate.”
Maximilian does not appear in Dior’s story.
He is probably almost certainly dead.
The emperor who embraced the sun was never born, and his place would have been taken by Cynthia, who was chewing on her thumbnail over there.
“Was the saint of the Holy Kingdom a poisoned chalice?”
“hehehe…. It was a vessel to swallow the sun.”
“Why am I a poisoned chalice…?” ?”
The saintess, who did not understand Miles’ story, looked aggrieved, perhaps because she had immediately decided that he was slandering her.
It was an action that made me feel sorry for him because he had a stupid expression that made me want to have a sweet night.
Cynthia is a scout for those targeting the Akradium continent.
It is also a very elaborate skirmisher, and the most vicious thing is that the person concerned accidentally stabs a dagger into the heart of the empire.
Cynthia, who possesses the mana of the moon, cuts out the darkness of the empire on behalf of the emperor who embraces the sun.
Couldn’t we call it the moon that swallowed the sun, or a type of solar eclipse?
The moon has completely swallowed the sun, so the sun can no longer shine on this continent of Arcradium.
Kyle, Ludwig, and Johan are okay.
Even a solar eclipse does not go to the level of completely blocking the sun.
This is because Maximilian, who has the potential to become the emperor who embraces the sun, survives.
However, the texture is different from the Dior route.
Because Maximilian dies.
And the last is the Maximilian route.
The expression that the old woman spoke of is losing its light.
If Cynthia, who was influenced by a foreign god, and Maximilian, who inherited her solar mana, get married and give birth to her child….
Is that child a being that embraces the sun, or is he a child influenced by foreign forces?
There is a high probability that the person who embraces the sun will no longer be born.
Maximilian from that route is a man who would pick up even the pillars of the empire for Cynthia.
‘The empire is coming to an end in my generation.’
Or a miracle may happen again.
Emperor Maximus, the sixth sun and my great-great-grandfather, had a stronger ego from a place other than here.
Otherwise, this empire would not have been able to be protected.
The same goes for me.
If I were to face such a situation, my ego might have disappeared in order to protect the empire.
“Whoa…” .”
I think I got almost all the important information.
“So, did you see some merit in worshiping those disgusting bastards, mongrel?”
“Shut up! How dare you!!!”
“You’re barking like a dog. Hybrid.”
Black-haired beasts are not harvested.
Probably they were talking about this guy.
“Cut the limb veins, Sir Pedro.”
“Yes!”
“You guys!!!”
Sir Pedro’s sword was faster than Miles’s struggle before his death.
The moment I thought the wind had blown, blood spurted from the man’s limbs.
In this situation, proper resistance would be impossible.
“So-and-so.”
“Yes, yes!”
I pointed at Miles, looking at so-and-so who was gritting his teeth with a bored look on his face.
“Place such strong restrictions that you can’t feel mana at all.”
“Well, if you did something like that—”
“You can kill me. Just do your best not to die.”
“Woah, I will follow the will of the woman.”
This guy is a lure attached to Cynthia by Saint King Gregory.
The Holy Kingdom is supporting fanatics from other continents who are trying to attack this continent for some reason.
It is a situation where it can be judged that way.
“You apostate who believes in false gods. Wait for God’s wrath… !”
The man, whose limbs and veins had been severed and his mana sealed, crawling on the ground like a bug, glared at me with his eyes wide open and screamed at me.
“hahahahaha!”
The appearance was so funny that I burst out laughing without even realizing it.
“Do you dare look up at the sun when you are a bug crawling on the ground? Know your subject, Mudblood.”
I grabbed the head of the trembling bug and lifted it up.
The face of the bug that met my eyes was filled with murderous intent.
But in the end, it was nothing more than the wriggling of a bug.
“Then pray to the true God. “Naburaeng, who will soon become a martyr.”
The sun god that the empire believed in did not exist from the beginning.
However, for humans, faith and even the existence of faith were essential.
No matter how transcendental power it may be, it must be a spiritual being that should not have a physical body.
That is why the First Emperor created a being called ‘Sun God’.
We are simply worshiping the sun, a natural object.
To use this hybrid expression, you are literally nothing more than an apostate worshiping a false god.
But what does it matter?
The warm sun is more worthy of being called a god than the owner of such a bastard.
“Gag him.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
I was bitten by the dog’s mouth, who was teasing his tongue without being ready to be a martyr.
After confirming that, I and Kyle walked away from the group and headed toward the border of this barrier.
“It’s a wall, Chairman.”
“Yes, it’s a wall.”
There is something beyond this wall.
If you break this wall, it will probably connect to another continent.
Humanity has entrusted itself to God.
They are preparing to invade the continent of Akradium.
Maybe this space is for them to practice.
This is a space where time flows five times slower.
‘… ‘Is it a coincidence?’
No, it may not be a coincidence.
Only Cynthia’s mana is the key to opening Soleil’s dungeon.
What if humanity beyond this border was ready to invade the continent of Akradium?
It is impossible to cross the sea.
There were also monsters that had lived since time immemorial, so even with God’s help, it wouldn’t be easy.
But what if we attack the system in reverse through this space?
Cynthia holds the key.
… Yes, the story goes that Cynthia, who has been crowned as the new hero of the empire, brings about the downfall of her empire.
Of course, Cynthia, who is a kind clown, will live without knowing this fact.
She takes care of her people on behalf of the sun, but in the end, she is the vanguard who dedicates her people to God.
The true dark side of this Garden of Thorns was Cynthia, not Priscilla.
‘It’s an amazing story.’
“Let’s rest for a while and then go back.”
“Yes, Chairman!”
In the Garden of Thorns, there was a brief story about each target’s story.
Among them, Kyle became a knight commander, and that was about 5 years after the ending of this work.
It would seem that there is at least 5 years of grace left.
No, that’s not it.
I have already changed the flow of this world with my own hands.
Just as Saint King Gregory, who felt impatience, did something useless, an incident like gunpowder may explode at any time and place.
From now on, we will mobilize all our capabilities to grow our empire.
That is my role as the 7th sun.
I could see the road.
In that case, you just have to move on.
I steeled myself while holding in my hand the sword that my husband had left me.
