Chapter 435
Mora, the goddess of time, stood in front of me and smiled.
“Shinha rate. One half of the human body, a disciple of Ray Bell Bytenor. I’ve been waiting all along for the day to meet you. We finally met.”
surprised.
I haven’t even properly introduced myself yet.
My name and Master’s name. And do you even know the relationship with me?
“Do you know me?”
“sure.”
how do you know about me
“I know all the history of this world from its birth until its destruction. There’s no way you don’t know the axis of a huge flow.”
Mora said as if there was no need to be surprised.
“All history… … ?”
But it was surprising enough.
“therefore. The past, present, and future of this world. Knowing everything that happened in all time zones… … Is that what you mean?”
“yes. Everyone knows. I am the goddess of time.”
Mora, Goddess of Time.
she gazed at me
Inside the two eyes like light, there is full of goodwill.
“Like I knew you would come to me like this.”
It was an amazing word.
Did you even know I was coming?
“If you know everything, do you know what will happen next?”
“You and Bale. Are you curious about the outcome of the battle between the two?”
“yes.”
It was a pure question.
What will happen to me and Bale?
Will I win or will Bale win?
I was genuinely curious about that.
“Unfortunately, I don’t know that either.”
Mora shook her head slightly.
“The future has not been decided yet. All I know is the events that will definitely happen in the many futures. Just like you and I met today.”
“The event that will definitely happen… … What?”
What does it mean?
“It is an event that will inevitably happen no matter what variables occur in the future.”
After a brief thought, Mora stared back into my eyes.
“Typically, there must be an incident in which you obtain the Book of Idred.”
“… … The Book of Idred.”
Idred’s Book.
The magic book that gave me the chance to learn the Bytenor style.
“At a certain timeline, I bought the Book of Idred from a suspicious person. At one point in time, your father, Shin In-hyeok, even sent you a book you got by chance. Also, at a certain timeline, Adela Stewart accidentally obtained the book and handed it over to you.”
After hearing the example like that, I thought I knew what I was talking about.
“No matter what changes happen in the past and the present in this way, there are events that must happen. I call these events ‘destiny’.”
fate.
An event that always happens regardless of the numerous variables of the past and the present.
“My meeting with you is just as fateful. In some time axis, you found me in a deep sea dungeon, and in another time axis, you succeeded in finding me isolated in the gap of space and time.”
Mora smiled brightly again.
“And this timeline… … On the current timeline that has been confirmed… … You found me like this in the great labyrinth called Black Castle. As fate guides.”
“understand.”
I completely understood what you meant.
“So, I knew in advance that we would meet like this because it was a fixed fate, but I can’t know the future of Bale and I because it’s a fate that hasn’t been confirmed yet. You mean like this?”
“Exactly. Nothing is set in the future between you and Bale. Depending on what happens in the future, the result will be different. You either win or you lose.”
“Unknown. okay.”
There is no such thing as a predetermined future for me and Bale.
Just hearing this, I was relieved.
“How? Do you have any answers?”
“yes. Enough.”
How Mora knows the past, present and future. I knew roughly how she looked.
That’s enough.
“great. Then we can go straight to the point.”
I haven’t brought up anything yet, but the word that I’m getting to the point came first.
In other words, Mora already knew what questions I would ask her.
“Is it my destiny to find Mora-sama and ask her about the Human Body and the End God?”
“that’s right. In any timeline, you asked me about the Human Body and the Apocalypse.”
That’s right too.
“The answer to that question was different for each time axis.”
“… … yes?”
The answer is different for every time axis?
“Does that mean that the past of the human body and the end god is not fixed?”
In explaining the fixed past, there is no reason for the answer to be different for each time axis.
To say that the answer is different is to say that the past has not been decided.
“Could it be that the endgame changes the past?”
If so, did the end god intervene in the past and change the past?
Then it makes sense to say that the past has not been decided.
“no. It can’t be. In the past, no one can intervene. Rewinding time is impossible, even for an apocalypse. Neither do I.”
“Oh, that’s not it.”
Fortunately, it seems my expectations were wrong.
“Then why… … ?”
If the apocalypse does not intervene in the past and change the past, why does the past change?
“hmm. I guess I chose the wrong words. Let me clear up the misunderstanding first. I didn’t mean that ‘the explanation changed every time axis’ in the sense that the past changes, so the stories to be explained change.”
‘I was wrong,’ Mora added softly.
“The reason I said that the explanation is different for each time axis is because all the information you know is different.”
Is the information I know different?
“At some point in time, you didn’t know anything about the human body. So I had to explain from one to ten. In addition, you knew everything about the birth of a human being and the death of an end-time god. So the explanation was very short.”
“ah… … . That’s why the explanation is different for each time axis… … .”
“yes. That’s what it meant.”
That’s what it meant.
understood.
“Then, this time the explanation will be longer.”
I don’t know anything.
I only know about the name of the human body and the end god.
I don’t know a single detail.
“no?”
Mora replied with an expression as if asking what she was talking about.
“Now you and I meet like this, and this time axis is the future with the shortest description of all the countless time axes I have ever seen.”
“… … Short?”
“yes.”
Can the explanation be shortened?
“I don’t know anything right now?”
“You can’t know anything. You know everything.”
Mora laughed like she was having fun.
“The goddess of shadows. You heard everything from Umbra, right?”
At that time, the name of Umbra came out of Mora’s mouth.
“I’ve heard quite plausible hypotheses, but… … .”
Based on the information obtained so far and the knowledge and experience of Umbra, I had made a hypothesis.
“I am saying that the hypothesis is correct.”
“… … yes?”
I was stunned for a moment.
“Are all of Umbra’s hypotheses correct?”
“Not everything. Almost everything.”
“… … .”
I thought it was a pretty plausible hypothesis.
I hope that was the correct answer.
“The birth of a human being. Conflict with the end god. and the death of the apocalypse. Everything is as Umbra said.”
The divine power that the end god could not absorb flowed into the human world, and a human body was born.
Inevitably, the Human God and the End God came into conflict.
The Apocalypse God has been defeated.
“Other details are all correct… … .”
Everything Umbra said that day was true.
said Mora.
“Finally, it is also correct to say that the God of the End must have cursed the human body.”
Mora continued with a slightly surprised expression.
“I’m surprised. From there, he hypothesizes that the God of the End must have placed a curse, and that he can accurately match the content of the curse… … .”
“To say that even the content of the curse is accurate… … .”
“yes. The curse placed on the human body by the god of the end is a curse that robs the target’s body and steals their divine power.”
In other words, it is a curse placed for resurrection.
“It’s difficult to steal the body and divine power of an intact human body, so I put the curse of mental division together to divide it into two.”
Umbra was also right.
“Most things went as Umbra said.”
‘So there’s nothing to explain,’ Mora added softly.
“Yes… … That’s right.”
That’s why you said the explanation would be short.
“I have only one thing to tell you right now. You can just move as you are thinking. That is the correct answer.”
“As I’m thinking, it’s killing Veil… … . Will that work?”
“yes. That’s fine. If you kill the veil, the god of the end cannot be resurrected. Because I don’t have the body and the power to take away.”
The death of the veil is the death of the end god.
I got the information I needed.
‘All I have to do is kill Veil.’
If so, there is no need to hesitate any longer. Build up your strength as quickly as possible to deal with the veil.
That’s it.
“thank you. Thanks to… … .”
I finally got my stomach pierced.
It was time to say thank you.
coo cooo… … .
Suddenly the space began to tremble.
“… … vibration?”
Something, it feels like the relic is shaking… … .
“It looks like a battle took place outside.”
Mora said something insignificant.
“I can detect the presence of the two warlocks. It looks like your friends are fighting a battle with the two of them.”
“Why is a black magician here… … .”
Why is the black magician in the black castle?
“Vale must have asked you to come find me. If you use my divine power, you will be able to recover your strength in a short time.”
Mora stared into space with her blind eyes.
“By the way, did Veil’s men reveal themselves here? It’s getting into trouble.”
Then, he muttered to himself with a mysterious expression on his face.
There is something unusual about the atmosphere.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll leave the conversation here for now, and I’ll come back later. Could you please let me out?”
But right now, it’s not the situation to worry about the atmosphere.
A battle broke out outside.
need to go support
“It doesn’t matter if I send you out, but… … .”
Mistress Mora focused her gaze on me again.
“Can I?”
You really won’t regret it
Can I leave like this?
Mora-sama’s eyes were asking like that.
“If you break up now, you will never see me again. I’ve already exhausted my strength to the limit. Digestion has progressed considerably in the monster’s stomach, and the relic itself is about to be destroyed. If I send you out now, it will use up all your strength and disappear.”
In short, there would be no more opportunities to speak with Mora.
“and… … .”
Mora’s eyes shone sharply.
“After I disappear like that, you will be defeated by the veil.”
“… … Defeat?”
“yes.”
It was a random word.
you’re going to lose
“The future of Bale and I has not been decided… … . Didn’t you say that?”
“Yes, it was. Actually, when I said that earlier, nothing was decided.”
before?
“But it is different now. Two warlocks fighting with your friends outside. A servant of Veil who lived in the era of the Four Kingdoms. From the moment the two of them finished their resurrection and entered the Black Castle, their future was decided.”
Some important keywords came out.
“These two raids are a turning point. Whether this raid will happen or not will determine the future to some extent.”
“… … Is that predetermined future my defeat?”
“yes. There are many futures with those two raids as the turning point. The future is all your defeat and death. If you do this, you will die. The Veil will swallow you, and you will reappear on this earth as a complete Apocalypse God.”
“… … .”
“If that is all right, I will send you out now.”
It was a word that made me think a lot.
“… … If the result has already been decided, doesn’t it make no difference whether or not you leave here?”
“yes. doesn’t exist. At this point, your defeat has been decided.”
“then… … .”
What does going out and not going out mean? It was time to say that.
Mora interrupted me.
“If it’s the way it was.”
Mora condensed divine power into her palm.
“There is only one reason why you lose. for lack of time The foundation had already been laid, but the time to complete the building on it was overwhelmingly short. So you lose.”
It was a divine power that seemed to condense time, befitting the divine power of Mora, the goddess of time.
“But I have the power to make up for that lack of time.”
Mora held out a lump of divine power to me.
“I have the power to change your future. If you would stay here and give me your time, I will. The future will change.”
That mass of divine power slowly changed its shape and took the form of a watch.
“So, stay like this. Even if my friends die outside. Don’t move, stay still. Stay here with me.”
Abandon your colleagues.
Sacrifice a few to save more.
“That is the only option left to you.”
That’s what Mora said.
