< Episode 231 Possibility (1) >
I feel bad saying this now.
The reason I was thrown into this world is to save the world.
To be more precise, in order to save this world from destruction by the devil, the creator of this world, Adam, possessed me as the protagonist of this world.
Then what is the intention behind this possession? I don't know. Did he possess me in the hopes of grabbing at straws?
This world is going to end up like this anyway. I want to catch a glimmer of hope by bringing in an Irregular. Is this the intention behind throwing me into this world?
That can't be true.
How could the creator of this world have done such a grand thing and have said, 'I don't know'?
My ability right now. You can tell just by looking at [System Error].
A meticulously designed ability that does not interfere with the system.
A gentleman who prepared such abilities brought me into this world without any thought?
This is nonsense.
The conversation between God and his brother in his dream was also like that.
Are those the words of a person who threw me into this world with the intention of grabbing at straws?
There's absolutely no way that's possible.
In short, my argument has a clear ‘intention’.
'It wasn't a case of giving up on me, but a carefully calculated plan.'
That's the truth about the possession phenomenon I'm experiencing right now.
Then, this thought naturally occurred to me.
'The gentleman who meticulously planned his abilities to possess me. Did he send me to this world without even coming up with a plan to defeat the demon?'
This was an obvious question.
Of course, the answer was 'NO'.
That can't be true.
Even though it may have been a gamble, Shin Hye-hyung must have put me in this world with a thorough plan.
But you haven't prepared a way to defeat the most important demon?
That's the most important key, right?
I thought it was absolutely impossible.
So I changed my mind.
Instead of asking, 'How do I defeat the Demon God?', ask, 'What are some ways to defeat the Demon God?'
It didn't seem like much of a difference, but when I changed my thinking, I started to see something new.
'The weakness of the machine is clearly related to my ability.'
Otherwise there would have been no reason to exclude me from the system.
Rather than going through all the trouble to create such abilities, it would have been possible to set more intuitively powerful abilities. This would have been possible for Adam, the creator god.
Besides, wasn't that what happened when we met in our dreams?
'There was a reason why it had to be done this way.'
No matter how I looked at it, it was clear that there was a reason why they couldn't give me the system.
Then next.
Why did the system have to be excluded?
This was the crux.
At the time, no conclusion could be reached on this issue.
It was before I heard about 'fate' from Unknown, so I couldn't make the connection.
I just thought there must be some major reason.
But now that I know about the 'fate power' of the demon.
I could see why my brother Shin had excluded me from the system… as if he had done something that was going around in circles.
'The fate of the machine cannot be dealt with while being dependent on the system.'
It was a very simple conclusion.
When I put together all the information I had gathered so far, I could see it clearly.
'The fate of this world is ultimately controlled by [the system].'
Adam of this world said:
There are three main reasons why the fate of this world cannot be changed.
One is the main system that attempts to process history in its original form.
One is the world's procedures that try to prevent us from changing the past that has already happened.
One is another fateful procedure to prevent my own time paradox as a time traveler.
If we exclude the two that are like variables that arose because I came to the past, only one remains.
The thing that prevents the future of this world from being changed is the 'main system'.
In other words, in order to change the fate of this world, in order to counter the fateful power of the Demon God, one must be a being that is not dependent on the system.
It is natural that you cannot break the rules set by the system while remaining dependent on the system.
So here is the primary conclusion.
My [System Error] is the only power that can stand against the machine.
So the next question was how to respond.
But the answer came right away.
There was no need to think long.
The hint was given a long time ago.
'The source of my power is the stigmata. And the end of the stigmata is the transcendent rank.'
And a new power that can be used when the stigmata reaches the transcendent rank.
Transcendence of race.
I briefly experienced a glimpse of that power.
'Land of the Cold. The Heavenly Demon Tribe.'
That day.
The day I happened to fight with Masin, I accidentally became a member of the Heavenly Demon Tribe and opened my eyes to a new power called Holy Magic.
And with that power, I overwhelmed the demon. It was something that I could not have done with the power I had at that time.
With something like an intermediate stigmata, you can momentarily overwhelm the demon and inflict damage.
At the time, I just thought the new concept of 'holy magic' was a scam.
When I knew everything, I saw something new.
'The act of combining different race values is a heresy among heresies that is not registered in the system.'
And what I mean by heresy is that it is not registered in the system.
It is said that it is a force that does not affect 'fate'.
'By transcending the stigmata and transcending the race, you gain the power to fight against the demon.'
Could this be the true nature of my power, created with the utmost care by the Creator God, Adam?
That's what I decided.
and.
“You······what the hell are you?”
It seems my judgment was correct.
“Wasn’t it the Cheonma Tribe back then?”
“Don’t you remember? I thought you said no?”
The demon is unable to properly deal with my power as I transform into a dragon.
“Are you saying that there really are two such beings?”
The demon swung his magic spear and muttered.
I laughed, my lips flowing perfectly.
“I think I said that too. It’s not just two people, it’s three people, it could be four people.”
“You have a pierced mouth······.”
“Well, if you don’t want to believe it, then don’t.”
The demon's magic power has become about 1.8 times stronger than before, but his actual fighting power is not much different from before.
“But you. Why can’t you keep your composure?”
“······.”
Masin ground his teeth.
A look that says he has nothing to say in rebuttal.
“What’s the use of increasing magic? It’s useless.”
Certainly, the volume of magic has increased significantly. However, the technique to handle that magic is poor.
Of course, it's worse than the near-perfect technology from a while ago, but it's still excellent.
“What seems to be wrong?”
“······You talk a lot.”
Why did this suddenly happen?
The reason why there is no change in overall fighting power even though magic has increased.
'As expected, the magic eye doesn't work on me right now.'
That is the main characteristic of the drink.
Eyes with a mad effect that sees through everything.
Because Ma-an has no effect on me.
“Now that it’s all there is to it, I can’t say that ridiculous thing. Now that there are two things I can’t see, it’s not all there is to it, right?”
The drink is the same, but I activated two transcendent stigmata at the same time, so my combat power increased significantly.
That's why even though it's 1:1 now, it's a close match.
No, I have the upper hand by about 53:47.
『Baptism of the Holy Spirit』
Along with the words, the sexual and magical powers that had settled in my body moved simultaneously.
A compound magic that mixes the holy power that is effective against magic and the fire attribute magic with excellent destructive power.
Whoosh whoosh!
It was a fusion magic of holy power and magical power that could be used only by the Heavenly Dragon.
“······Ugh!”
A pure white flame that radiates holy power.
Masin desperately tried to escape the range of the flames, but it was impossible to avoid them completely.
It is also a magic that is activated after reducing the angle of avoidance in the first place.
“You were able to destroy the fusion techniques of the two Heavenly Lords and Dragon Lords just fine. You think you can’t block my fusion magic?”
He taunted the demon, who was grimacing with a large burn on one of his legs.
“······If it had been such crude technology, it would have been crushed over and over again.”
He answered by wrapping the burn with magic and healing it.
A normal wound would have healed in less than 5 seconds, but the Baptism of the Holy Fire would take at least 3 minutes.
“What? Are you acknowledging my skills as outstanding?”
“······.”
Masin clicked his tongue.
An expression that says you don't want to admit it, but you can't deny it.
Well, that's true.
There's no denying it.
It's a magic that even I can't find a way to deal with.
The moment you say it's nothing, it's like spitting in your own face.
“You bastard. How on earth did you combine your holy power and magical power?”
The demon, unable to suppress his curiosity, eventually asked the question.
“How can the different energies······be combined into one······.”
The fusion of holy power and magical power that I use is on a different level from the fusion of holy power and magical power that Cheon Shin-nim and Ini used just a moment ago.
If the fusion magic of Cheonshin and Ini was simply placing black and white in order to create a black and white pattern.
The fusion of sexual power and magical power that I do is literally a merging.
Gray is made by combining black and white.
A power that is like water and oil… no, like water and fire mixed perfectly together.
That's my power as a Celestial Dragon.
A unique power that can only be used after transcending race.
“Good. Work hard. Do your best.”
But is it really necessary to explain my powers in detail?
“······You have no intention of telling me?”
“Would you tell me?”
I swung my sword again, snickering slightly.
A super-fast battle with dozens of attacks and defenses per second.
“If I ask you about your power, you won’t tell me, right?”
Magi, magic, and holy power are all mixed together, each claiming their own power.
The heavens and earth shook as my sword and the Demon God's spear clashed.
A sight so outrageous that it was hard to believe that two people were fighting.
"gibberish."
From the source of all evil, a boundless amount of evil energy seethed.
A sight where the evil energy seemed to have multiplied by at least five times.
“You, who planned to weaken my power by killing elves, could not possibly not know about my power.”
The unique skill of the root of all evil.
Thousand-year-old star.
This is the original form of the root of all evil, who devoted everything to killing his opponents.
『The Wall That Swallows the Horse』
But it doesn't work for me.
For me now, I can activate my powers at lightning speed with my words.
An attack that requires such a long preparation time won't work.
Kaaaaaaaaaah!
The source of all evil bounced off the pure white walls that had been created without anyone knowing.
The root of all evil has only penetrated halfway through the wall.
“The more I think about it, the more surprising it is. I never thought that Savior would use such a drastic measure as sacrificing their own troops. This must be your scheme, right?”
“······.”
I clicked my tongue.
They sacrificed elves.
I don't need to say it, but I don't know.
I don't know why that happened. It's just that Teddy's magic wasn't detected, so something happened and Teddy died.
The elves' presence has largely disappeared, so I guess an unexpected variable has occurred.
'The problem may have occurred because the capture of the Seven Evils was not completed properly, or because some unexpected variable occurred.'
The result may have coincidentally been correct, leading to the weakening of the demon.
That's what I think.
'······It's unfortunate that there are sacrifices, but sacrifices are inevitable on the battlefield.'
The important thing is not to make their sacrifices in vain.
Seize the opportunity that came about through their sacrifice.
Using the new information gained through their sacrifice to put pressure on the demons.
That's the best I can do.
“Hmm. Is this question and answer meaningless now?”
Masin took a stance, holding the root of all evil in his hands.
“It’s meaningless.”
I also gently held the holy sword and took a stance.
The next moment.
We were arm-in-arms.
Kaaaaaaaaaang!
The friction sound of iron hitting iron.
The sound of something cutting through skin.
The sound of friction as magic of all kinds splits the sky.
In the meantime, we continued to swing our swords and spears.
'I can do it.'
The power of the Heavenly Dragon is greater than expected. The odds of victory are exactly 50/50.
It wouldn't be strange whoever wins.
I armed my mind and continued to swing my sword.
We can't afford to miss this momentum.
If you miss this one, you never know when your next opportunity will come.
Even if you lose, you have to gain as much as possible.
With that thought in mind, my will to fight was ignited.
however.
“I get the general idea.”
As time goes by,
The more swords and spears clash.
The weight of victory began to tilt towards Masin.
The demon began to adapt to my special powers.
Even if you don't have a magician, the experience of drinking is not to be ignored.
“Is this all?”
The demon sneered and swung his spear at me. I tried to counter it by mixing my holy and magical powers, but it was no use.
Phew!
“Ugh!”
The spear of the demon pierced my weak point perfectly.
“If this is all, then I’m losing interest.”
Is it because of my mood?
The pure white energy flowing out of the body of the demon who was taking a stance while turning the window, and the power of destiny seemed to have grown even greater.
'Could it be that······he recognized the continued weakness of the demon as a twist of fate?'
When I checked again, the demon's magic power had increased by about 5% compared to right after the battle started.
'Is it still too much?'
Physical specs too.
And I still lack experience.
Judging from the increase in fate power of the demon, it is clear that he is not yet ready to deal with fate power.
'Should I transcend the stigmata a bit more?'
Was it too much for two?
Anyway, it seems impossible to win in this state.
If that's the case, there's no reason to continue fighting any longer.
'I've gotten enough information. Now, if I escape and plan for the future······.'
That was when I made up my mind and started preparing to escape.
“Don’t miss it.”
As if he had read my mind while walking through the workshop, Masin's eyes lit up.
And the next moment.
“SYSTEM COMMAND.”
System commands.
The fateful power that had been shaking in Masin's body soared high into the sky along with the familiar English words to me.
“The arena of the guillotine.”
The rising power of destiny spreads far and wide according to the murmur of the demon.
It completely surrounded me and the person I was drinking with.
“You come all this way, do you think I’ll let you go?”
“······.”
I guess I can't escape that easily. Just when I was frowning at the appearance of the blockade barrier that looked impressive even without looking closely,
Pfft!
My body glowed.
To be exact, the center of the chest and the entire back. To be more precise······.
'Stigmata?'
The stigmata of the Celestials and the stigmata of the Dragons shook as if resonating with something.
“This is······.”
The demon opened his eyes wide as he witnessed the disappearing barrier and the brightly shining stigmata on my chest.
And at that moment, Masin's weakness appeared.
A truly fleeting moment.
As if he had been waiting for this opportunity,
Something appeared behind Mashin.
A black fog that takes on a human form in an instant.
'Unknown!?'
Unknown reached out his hand towards Mashin's head.
“······!”
Masin noticed and tried to avoid it, but Unknown's surprise attack was perfect.
No matter how much you drink, you can't avoid it.
chin!
Unknown's right hand made direct contact with Mashin's back of the head.
Light emanated from that point of contact.
A light that shines arrogantly as if it will swallow up everything in the world.
“I can’t admit it······. I can’t admit it······!”
“Ugh!”
The unknown's [Predation] began to devour the demon.
