Chapter 412
After that, I decapitated Veil.
If possible, I wanted to dig up a little more information, but seeing Bale’s determined expression, I decided that it was impossible to talk further, and immediately ended Bale’s life.
So the veil disappeared.
It was a really stupid ending.
“… … Mimir. what do you think about it?”
With the disappearance of the veil, only Mimir, who came out of the center of the world that was scattered like fog, maintained its intact form.
“I don’t know. nothing… … .”
Mimir bowed his head with a dazed, resentful expression.
As an assistant, he is angry with himself for not being able to properly grasp the situation.
He seemed to think so.
“Only one thing is certain.”
Mimir looked at me with an expression of disdain.
“So far, everything we thought was right was actually wrong.”
The information obtained so far and the hypotheses based on that information have all become useless.
Like a formula that got it wrong from entering the first number.
Everything we’ve been doing has lost its meaning.
“I was so stupid. Nothing was certain yet. I have decided that the past of Obama and Veil is the end god.”
Mimir bit his lip.
In a situation where there is still no solid evidence, I made a conclusion too hastily.
I am so ashamed of myself.
He seemed to think so.
“Sorry. I should have thought a little more carefully… … .”
Mimir looked at me with a teary expression.
“I… … Because I was distracted by something else, I made this fatal mistake… … .”
Concentrated on his studies, he neglected other things too much.
Research is not important, but the priorities are wrong.
It was an apology with such meaning.
“no. Mimir. It’s not your mistake.”
But this is not Mimir’s fault.
“This is my mistake.”
I am responsible for this incident.
“From one to ten. Everything fit so well, I was convinced that, of course, this was the answer.”
No, it’s hard to see it as a mistake if you think about it coldly.
Even so, the situation was so bizarre.
From one to ten, everything was claiming that the hypothesis we had established was correct.
Anyone in our situation would have come to the same conclusion as we did.
Rather than anyone’s fault, this incident should be seen as a kind of natural disaster.
“no. this is my mistake If the doubts that arose from the words of the masked god had not been left unattended… … . If you think a little deeper… … .”
A question derived from the information obtained while talking with Persona.
Perhaps Mimir had the same questions as me.
‘Ignis, Factio. Other than that, why did the various gods cede their powers to their master?’
Umbra and Persona.
A question that came to my mind naturally while talking with the two gods.
Why did the gods transfer their powers to Master, the alter ego of the God of the End?
If we had looked a little deeper into this question, we might have arrived at the truth a little sooner.
“Don’t beat yourself up too much. Even if you noticed it there. It’s only two days difference.”
But it’s only two days difference.
Even if I noticed then, nothing changed.
“and… … Now is not the time to blame yourself.”
What we need to do now is not to blame ourselves, but to be grateful that we know the truth even now.
“As of this time, all premises are broken. We need to come up with a new plan as soon as possible.”
You should be grateful, relieved, and set a new course to make up for your mistake before it becomes irreversible.
“… … That’s right. That comes first.”
Mimir answered with a slightly brightened expression.
It’s not worth the time to blame yourself.
It seems that he has changed his mind.
“however… … . I’m ashamed to say it with my own mouth… … . It’s hard to plan right now. There is too much unknown information.”
“… … yes.”
In order to formulate a course of action and future plans, certain information is needed.
Who is the opponent, what power does it have, and what is its purpose.
Without at least these three pieces of information, you cannot plan.
And now those three pieces of information have become unknown.
‘The opponent is unknown. Since his identity is unknown, it is unknown what kind of power he possesses. Its identity and power are unknown, so it is unknown what purpose it had.’
From the moment before, everything became unknown.
It is impossible to plan in these circumstances.
“To make a plan, the self-styled bale stall who is now out there… … . who the man is You have to get it right.”
“yes.”
It is a theory.
An unidentified man who is a veil stall and an apocalyptic god.
Figuring out the identity of the man is the first priority.
“The problem is that there is no means to obtain information… … .”
Mimir blurted out his words with a serious expression.
The veil stall outside had already disappeared.
There is no way to obtain further information at this time.
“one. There must be a way to come to mind.”
I don’t know if I can get any information or not.
There is one way you might ‘get’ it.
“What way?”
“… … In fact, even if you call it a method, you do something.”
I took out Aes and took out two holy relics.
A black stone and a white mask.
They were holy relics of Umbra and Persona, respectively.
“I was wondering if I could get some information out of these two.”
If these two gods lived through the age of mythology, wouldn’t they know something?
“Whatever you want to ask… … . After that, no matter what I said, neither of you showed any reaction?”
“It is, but… … .”
The problem is that they are not responding at all.
“… … Anyway, will you answer me this time?”
As work is work, I wonder if he will answer me this time.
As a person who harbors vengeance against the end god, there is no way I can sit still even after hearing that I have been defeated.
“and. Because these two were friends. I will not turn down the opportunity to meet with you.”
After crossing countless years, I had the opportunity to meet my friends again.
Even if it’s not about the apocalypse, it’s enough reason to answer.
“… … Is that so?”
Mimir tilted his head slightly with a puzzled expression.
“Actually, I don’t even know.”
It’s just that there’s a good chance he’ll answer you now.
I don’t know if these two will give a real answer or not.
“Once you try it, there is nothing to lose. You should try it.”
It’s good if you try and respond, and if you don’t respond, you can’t help it.
“but.”
Mimir nodded slightly.
I took my eyes off Mimir and looked at the two holy relics in turn.
“Two minutes. Did you hear everything?”
He asked while constantly pouring mana into the two relics.
“The situation is roughly like this. What do you think?”
The two relics bridged my mana.
“If you are willing to talk to me, please spray mana.”
Silence passed momentarily.
Both relics are silent.
Far from spewing mana, I couldn’t even find the slightest trembling.
‘… … Still no response?’
Does this mean that the two of them are not refusing to talk to me of their own volition?
There seems to be a good chance of that.
Transfer your powers to me, and be in a state of sleep.
Or that the connection is temporarily disconnected.
“Looks like it doesn’t work.”
Whatever the case may be, the conversation seems impossible.
I recovered the mana I poured into the holy relic.
No, I was trying to recover it.
“… … Kut.”
Beetle.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden onset of dizziness, it would have been.
Along with dizziness, my vision began to dim.
“… … really. It makes me unable to sleep properly.”
Beyond the darkened vision, a familiar voice was heard.
An alluring voice like a shadow whispering.
“I know that? Of all the people who have disturbed my sleep so far, none of them have returned to normal.”
The sight that had been engulfed in darkness began to slowly recover.
“hmm. Was it?”
Beyond the blurry vision, I could see the silhouettes of two people.
“It was. Why don’t you remember? at that time. There was a piece of trash that was installed as a leader in the ford. The guy whose arms were cut off by me.”
“… … Was there such a person?”
one woman and one man.
Two people with familiar faces as well as familiar voices.
“There was. Why can’t you remember?”
“Because I have a personality that quickly forgets useless things.”
Umbra and Persona.
Two people are looking at each other and talking.
“Ugh. It’s because the personality that is rough in everything is still the same. Isn’t that enough for you to forget my name?”
Umbra is laughing.
It wasn’t even a full smile, but he was definitely smiling.
“I remember.”
Persona, as usual, was holding on to her expressionless expression.
Like a masked god, he wears a hard mask called expressionless.
“okay? I’m surprised It’s you and no one else I thought that if time passed like this, I would forget everything.”
“All I remember is useless things. Never forget the important things.”
But the only thing I can’t feel is the facial expression.
A clear change of emotion is felt in the voice.
“long time no see. Umbra.”
longing. pleasure.
“My old friend.”
and sadness.
Persona’s voice trembled with various emotions.
“Ugh. you really… … . Aren’t you ashamed to say it?”
Umbra answered with a smile.
“Why are you shy?”
“You should be ashamed of it.”
“okay?”
She stared at Persona’s face and smiled softly.
“really… … . Because it is the same.”
“Umbra. you also.”
They are rejoicing in each other’s way at the reunion with their close friend whom they met after a long time.
“What, why? Did you catch a glimpse?”
As if Umbra felt my gaze, she glared at me and said.
“I know that? Of all the people who looked at me like that, no one was alive.”
None of the people who did anything are alive.
I think I’ve already heard that word for the 3rd time.
Is it a habit?
“… … Did you?”
Before I could answer anything, Persona answered first.
“I think I saved most of them by just saying that… … .”
“Persona. Noisy.”
Umbra glared at Persona. It was a very scary smile.
“Hmm. anyway. be careful. Because I am a very scary goddess.”
“… … Ah yes.”
It’s definitely a scary expression, a scary smile.
Nothing was scary.
What should I say?
Should I say that Heo Dang seems to be forcibly making a scary expression?
“Anyway, I’ll see you this time. Because he gave me such a good place.”
Umbra crossed her arms and raised her head arrogantly with an ‘ahem’.
… … It looks even more stupid.
“so. What is your business?”
Umbra and Persona focused their attention on me at the same time.
Both of them look like they know nothing.
“… … Didn’t you see?”
“what?”
“It just happened.”
“I didn’t see it.”
“I didn’t see it.”
Umbra and Persona answered at the same time.
“Because I’ve been asleep ever since I handed over my power to you.”
Umbra spoke as the representative, and Persona nodded as if she were the same.
“why? what happened?”
Umbra asked with a serious expression.
“Once, if they called both of us at the same time like this, something must have happened… … . Is it serious?”
“yes. It is serious.”
Umbra’s expression hardened even more at my knife-like answer.
“Just by looking at your expression, you look serious.”
Umbra paused once and spoke again.
“say it. What is it?”
“Do you know about the existence of human spirits?”
“… … human body?”
Umbra turned her gaze to Persona.
His eyes seemed to ask, ‘You know?’
“I heard it for the first time.”
Persona shook her head and replied.
“… … me too. It’s the first time I’ve heard the name human body.”
Umbra immediately replied that he did not know.
“This is the first time I hear the name human body… … . Then, of course, you don’t know that the human body succeeded in killing the end god.”
“… … what?”
Umbra’s eyes widened like rabbits.
“Who is killing whom?”
Persona seemed genuinely surprised this time as well, and the impenetrable expression was cracked.
