Chapter 535 – The Hero’s Memories
[You have returned!]
[The memory of the previous round is recorded!]
[Specifications from previous rounds will be ‘stored’!]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Regression Liberation’!]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Power Liberation’!]
“…”
A cold sweat broke out.
…The roof of my house, where I was a child, feels unfamiliar now.
Shiver. Tears flowed spontaneously.
What stuck to my eyes like scars and sparks was Marie’s bloodied figure. Those last heartfelt words.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
Let out a cry of rage.
Can’t forgive
Never forgive
Lord of freedom.
The lord of pain.
Demon King of Annihilation.
King of faith.
All other demons, whether high-ranking or low-ranking.
And… More than anything.
Lord of death.
Never forgive
Will kill
Even if this body breaks and disappears with terrible pain, I will kill you.
It will give you several times the pain Marie suffered.
I will make you beg, beg for help, beg for death in the end…!!
And Nanar.
You too…!
[Did you call~?]
“…!!”
[Yeah. Isn’t the hero, the user in charge of that guy amazing? I never thought that we could have a conversation without any restrictions, and that we would all return… Hitting the goal, I ‘forgot’ its location.]
“You bastard…”
[Guy… Hmmm. She doesn’t seem to be affected, though. What is she waiting for, so even after this has happened, she still sits still?]
“Pick up the sound that you don’t know. This dog …!”
[Whoops.]
Next moment.
A pillar of light enveloped me… I was in the divine realm.
12 gods.
Each one of them was a god with a superior rank.
“Did the Dragon God go missing…”
A young boy with a smoking pipe said boredly.
“…Then, I’ll start with Ornist, the god of equality.”
Start?
What?
And.
Tring!
Tring!
T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring! T-ring!
[The dream god wants to make a contract with you.]
[The God of Play wants to make a contract with you.]
[The God of Flame wants to make a contract with you.]
[The God of Darkness wants to make a contract with you.]
[The giant god wants to make a contract with you.]
[The deformed god wants to make a contract with you.]
[The wind god…]
[Earth…]
Countless notifications ringing in your head.
Nanar stuck a finger at me in a daze.
“Super~!! Super super!! Chance!!”
“…What?”
“Ah. It means opportunity. What is the language of strangers?”
“…Shut up…!”
“Oh my gosh. Look at what he’s saying~”
“Did you do something bad…”
One of the gods sitting in the seat of honor spoke pathetically, but Nanar just shuddered.
“This… What are you doing…!”
How far do you have to play with people to be satisfied? I, who had been faithful until the day before, now felt so disgusted with the existence of God.
The god who said he would take charge of me, who looked at me with contempt, opened his mouth.
“If you accept the contract request that is ringing in your head right now, you can use the power of the contracted god.”
“!”
The protagonist with a languid voice. God of Equality. Olnist.
He said chin up.
Not for kindness, but for ‘equality’ in the irrationality of not knowing the situation.
“There will be no restrictions on you, and multiple contracts are possible if it is a temporary contract. Since you are special, a considerable amount of causality will be poured out on the person in charge just by using your power.”
“…”
“However, there is only one official contract that can be concluded.”
Because you already signed a contract.
…Contract? That I made a pact with God?
Who did I sign a contract with?
There are no such memories.
But I can guess who it is.
The existence that made me… ‘Return’.
“It’s like a contract, it was forced to choose you.”
“Select…?”
“He seems to think you’re the best fit for a regressor.”
“…”
Blunt words.
But that wasn’t what mattered to me right now.
“With whom…”
“Hmm?”
“Who can I make a contract with? Can I make a contract with you?”
I stared at Ornist.
Probably… If it’s “Getting stronger”, It’s not the god in front of me.
But… If it’s ‘winning’, I thought this god would be optimal, said the god of equality.
“It’s me.”
“It’s me~”
Nanar smiled softly.
“The highest-ranking god who has the largest and most followers on earth, and possesses two powerful powers. Also… The light is the opposite for the demon king, whom you regard as your fierce enemy.”
“…!”
“However, with the reaction, the darkness will be the opposite for you…”
“If you sign a contract with me, that won’t happen!”
The one who interrupted Ornist’s words was a god boiling in black darkness.
At this time, the god of darkness was in a state of competition that had not yet succumbed to Nanar.
“No amount of darkness and ominousness will come close to you…!”
“What~ that’s right~”
Nanaar conceded.
But I knew it when I saw that expression.
Can’t get close That alone isn’t enough.
He looked at the Allnist again, but the bored God, whose speech was intercepted, asked for a pipe without showing any sign of dissatisfaction.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to lie until here. The law of causation is looking at me terribly? Haha. That guy. To negotiate with the will of the dimension like this.”
Sound meaningless.
However, I needed strength.
Even by using this guy who clearly only saw me as a clown.
“Why did you make me a warrior?”
“Ah. You seemed the most talented, and he seemed to have chosen you.”
“What is that guy?”
Nanar laughed.
“A god who can’t speak. A god who fought before returning, and we forgot his existence by returning.”
“…”
“Perhaps the last of the three gods…”
“Let’s do it.”
“Huh?”
“Contract.”
“…Hehe.”
Nanar laughed until his mouth was tearing.
“It’s nice. That anger.”
“…”
“I don’t like the fact that I’m second, but this time, I’ll make a special contract properly.”
The God of Darkness, who was holding on to this, opened his mouth.
“Kuk… Then I’ll at least sign a temporary contract!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
Like that.
I received 88 powers out of 999 gods.
Couldn’t take more than that.
Light. Madness. Recovery. Movement. Space. Hour. Revert. Strength. Speed. Mana. Magic. Fence. Spearmanship. Archery. Martial law. Herbivorous. Grassland. Flame. Darkness. Wind. Water. Earth. Colossus. Heterogeneous. Snake venom. Play. Approximately. Prognosis. Metal. Armor. Bayonet. Short sword. Heavy sword. Daechang. Geochang. Heterogeneous. Prophecy. Detect. Lightning, power. Electromagnetic force. Gravity. Hand. Foot. Mouth. Change. Holy power. Narration. Mistaken. Fantasy. Available. Invalidity. Sleep. Awakening. Curse. Pain. Immune. Rotation. Nucleus. Breakdown. Return. Rainbow. Provocation. Cry. Ice. Sound. Split. Bug. Beast. Plant. Coalescence. Spurt. Music. Theater. Piece. Art. Memory. Record. Oblivion. Produce. Analgesia. Sense. Activation. Life. Death. New idea. Skill…
Out of 88 contracts, I chose a contract that seemed to be useful in battle and finished it.
I thought I wanted to check and choose the effect of Jindeuk, but I couldn’t because the gods were so urging me.
It was a pity that the effect could not be seen in advance.
Tring!
[Each power can only be used once during regression, except for exceptions.]
[Exception. Record. Narration.]
[Reincarnation release can also be activated only once per turn. Please note that ‘Power Release’ can only be activated once in the entire round!]
“…”
For each round.
It was a story that it was possible to return several times.
In other words, even if I die, I can’t die.
Very good.
To be honest, even in the middle of getting 88 powerful powers and admiring the explanations… The image of defeating the demon lord of death was not drawn.
Especially the truth of this world that came with skill.
‘Step’, ‘Ryunar Dimension’, ‘Causality’, ‘Constraint’, ‘Race of the Gods’…
It was all the more so when I learned of the status of the demon king of death, who was so powerful even though all of that existed.
If this truth is true, it is unknown whether I will be able to win no matter how much power I acquire…
But, I had to.
For revenge.
That’s how I burned the second playthrough with anger.
Died by the king
Oh my god.
In this world, even the absolute gods were made into ordinary gods, and even then, this insane Ryunar dimension, where restrictions were imposed, was infested with monsters.
Having died before I even met the Four Great Demon Kings, I became even more frenzied.
Third.
He was also killed by the demon of death.
Fortunately, Marie wasn’t there this time.
Fourth.
From this point on, did I have a sense of responsibility for those who died for me besides Marie?
The sadness and despair were too thick.
And this time, he was killed by a group of people called ‘Gwiuigyo’.
He despaired, but managed to stand up with Marie’s encouragement.
Around this time, I felt the need for a colleague like Marie.
Scholar.
Rap band.
Homun.
Even if you teach.
Those who have received the blessings of the Ryunar dimension, who can compete with the demon king of Jinyeonok if they demonstrate their potential to the limit.
With them as companions, the return was made even easier.
Round 5.
I got to look back on myself.
Following me who only moves with vengeance and hatred, I sacrifice those who sincerely fight for the world.
I… I started to think that I wanted to save not just Marie, but all the people who followed me.
Really. That doesn’t fit the fountain.
It wasn’t enough even for Marie alone… I was thinking it would be different…
But it was difficult.
In the 6th playthrough, due to a minor mistake, he lost all of his comrades to save people.
In the 7th episode, I had doubts about the word justice. In the 8th episode, I wondered why I had to live kindly.
But I endured it by looking at Marie.
Seeing her always righteous and benevolent, he preserved her humanity.
At the 100th round.
I figured out most of what powers were good and where to get them, and became stronger than ever.
And I put everything behind me and tested my possibilities.
He gave up most of his human relationships and the well-being of the world and fought against the demon of death.
Same number.
Still, I’m satisfied with the fact that I killed him.
But… After that, no matter what power he gained, he could not give a satisfactory death to the demon lord of death.
I could have inflicted terrible pain on his men, but only on him…
Rather, there were times when I was beaten.
It was the same even after opening the previous life.
I wanted to use the power release, but I held back.
I had a plan.
A plan to avenge Mari and save the world beyond eliminating the four demon lords that I found out while going through the main quest.
True devil.
It was to get rid of him.
When it reached 1000 times like that.
Gathering all the possibilities and information during the distant time, I reached a certain possibility.
The plan was carried out according to its possibilities.
He got rid of the huge, distracting monster king Askatlov, collected the demon king’s core, received a new beast quest, and obtained the core from the four major demon kings.
It was thanks to the contract with Shinsoo that he was able to kill the Four Great Demon Kings.
Shin-soo received a surprisingly light penalty… ‘I can only briefly inform his colleagues about future plans. Until the causal rate due to our help is exhausted.’ The four major demon kings were eliminated under the condition of contract.
With those four nuclei.
Met.
The true demon king.
This guy is the final boss.
Killing this guy will end this race.
Died in 1 second.
The true demon king said.
“…No.”
What do you mean it’s not
A disgusting filth child that shouldn’t have existed in this world.
Everything happened because of this guy.
Because of you, I have to watch the people I love suffer.
When I die, I have to carry the weight of my colleagues who shed tears and entrusted their wishes to me.
I must always go forward even for my lovely Marie who has died dozens, hundreds, thousands of times for me.
Only because of you
2000 rounds.
Overcome the penalty and sign a contract with Shinsoo once again.
Or, to the limit, he tried to kill the four major demon kings and see at least a fragment of the true demon king in a tattered state.
…It was a bunch.
Even I, who was obsessed with power during the return and opened my previous life, had a hard time getting rid of one of the four demon kings.
They were monsters
No matter how many times I played, I didn’t get the image that I could win perfectly against them unless I opened up my power.
Of the four major demon lords, most of the ones I fought were the demon lords of death, and each time I did not know the outcome.
That was the extent of the four demon lords.
And compared to the true demon king, he was a new blood.
If it is assumed that the demon lord of death can return… The true demon lord will taste the same remote feeling as me.
No, you will taste even greater despair than me.
Unlike the demon lord of death, who could even achieve a friendship if he drew out all his strength, nothing worked for the true demon lord. No, even an attack was impossible.
There was no sense of intimidation in him.
Just, void.
But if you fight, you will always lose.
That damned ‘power release’ is ‘not yet the time’ against the true demon lord. Was canceled with a system notification sound.
If it is not unlocked even when fighting the final boss, when is the next time?
I had to think of another way.
He changed the way he killed only demons and became interested in other routes.
Abyssal Magic Palace. Dragon. Forgotten god. Evil spirit.
Besides Askatlov, other monster kings and divine beasts. Prostia, the dragon of destruction…
I dug up and dug up the secrets hidden in this world, and made it my food.
Prunar. I also tried to cooperate with a teenage family.
But.
The teenage family’s unique Ryunar and artifacts never acknowledged me.
Because.
Why am I not
My only hope was Fryunar and his legacy, who had left with his memory erased after tying with the true demon king.
However, Fryunar and his legacy did not appear in front of me in any episode.
It was to the point where I wondered if the existence itself was a lie.
Still, it was rewarding to go through the rounds.
The time he endured in the fight against the true demon lord gradually increased.
It was literally just holding on, but… I was hopeful that it was getting better.
And. I thought it was time, so I started preparing to kill the real demon king.
Gathering distant information, negotiating, and putting together the effort that took thousands of rounds… I became as strong as Nanar.
Compared to any other episode, to the extent that even the four major demon kings were able to fold it, I had the strength to regard the current me as nothing but a bug.
In that state, I met the true Demon King.
Only then did I feel intimidated.
The fact that the true demon lord’s presence was empty. It was because I was a worm to the point where I couldn’t feel his power.
Lost in 1 second.
It was the same result as the first time we met.
Until now, the true Demon King had never treated me sincerely.
No… Is this moment true? How much more power are you hiding?
He who defeated me… Said only one word.
To restart
That is, I knew that I was a regressor.
Even knowing it, I quietly returned.
No… His power has already surpassed even all gods.
If you set your mind to it, you should be able to eliminate the regression itself.
Although he is called the Demon King, he is an absolute being who has surpassed the Demon King and God.
“…Why?”
Kitz’s anger erupted.
“Why! What the hell! You’re telling me to restart! What am I not! What am I-!”
Regressed.
The true demon king didn’t even mix words.
I couldn’t figure out the purpose.
Despair for the true demon king who shows mercy even though he knows he is a regressor, telling him to restart.
Nonetheless, it started again.
This time, I wanted to break all the quests, explore all the possibilities… And try again.
But. When?
When will I reach you
Even the devil of death has rarely won properly, when will we reach the true devil?
The revenge of Marie and her companions.
A sense of mission to save this world and people.
…When will this happen?
Can you make it
Is there a possibility?
I became increasingly numb.
I didn’t feel any hesitation about killing people.
I didn’t feel guilty about deceiving and deceiving anyone.
The only thing that was painful was Marie.
It was my only pain that she died and suffered.
So I acted coldly towards Marie, my principle of action.
She didn’t want to repeat her death and her pain by showing her her truth, my memories.
Not for Marie.
It’s for me.
I excluded her from a certain moment and started going through her regression like her machine.
The contract with Shinsoo is over. By making a contract with them again, I was able to fight the four major demon lords. But you have to save it.
I decided to save this for just one chance.
Kaiwang had never fought properly except for Askatlov, but they were weakened and could easily extract nuclei. There was no reason to go to another monster king.
One thing bothers me… The king of beasts the size of a mountain, for some reason, always handed over the core without much resistance…
There was no time to worry about that.
I did not use the core I extracted from him to meet the demon lord, but accumulated it in my power.
Only, for the sake of opening the previous life.
For the opening of the previous life that gathers the power of all rounds…!
There was no other option.
Even if I tried to proceed with the main quests, the difficulty was too difficult.
Regressor. A secret so tightly hidden that even the most special person in the world cannot grasp it.
I wanted to unlock the Teenage Family Main Quest, but I was always rejected by the Teenage Family, their unique Ryunar and Artifact.
There was no other way.
I really meant to risk all my luck on this episode.
Thousands of rounds have passed, and I no longer have the strength to accumulate.
Okay.
This episode was just that episode.
The turn to bet on the odds.
And, I met Irregular after a long time.
There was a man I saw for the first time in over 10,000 years.
Of course it was annoying.
I tried to find out what kind of guy he was, what went wrong and finally appeared, and if it was an enemy, no… If it got in the way, I tried to get rid of it.
And he said to me eight days ago.
“You. Are you a regressor?”
“…”
He was strong
I have always been unable to respond to events beyond my imagination.
In this episode, the book of prophecy hidden by Almiraj and the forgotten god. And it was in that case that my true identity was revealed.
I was determined to return.
But eight days stopped Almiraj.
Killed Inris, the Demon Lord of Color Dreams, the difficult and strong Demon Lord of Jin Purgatory.
Nanar descended as the main body.
Defeated
For the first time in my life, I came up with the name of the sword of light flame.
Originally, the seat of the sword was given to Garcinido…
He brought Huroot out of his hiding place and reorganized the kingdom of Entiaer.
More than anything.
…Main quest. Received ‘Pryunar’.
That I couldn’t get through even thousands of attempts to return…
And now.
Ten keywords.
A new way of fighting.
Destruction that cuts and crosses everything, and creation that creates anything.
He presented a myriad of possibilities…That I hadn’t known about.
What should I call this
This emotion.
This anticipation.
Something long forgotten.
Hope.
Looking at Dre… I felt hope.
A man of overwhelming talent and a destiny that cannot be explained in words.
He has a vulgar, inhuman mentality.
Just like me, no matter what else… The one who gave his life for the one most precious.
Okay.
Long forgotten…But this was hope.
Hope.
The incarnation of violence and slaughter that would bring nothing but great despair to someone.
However, he also has a human side, controlling himself with the morality of affection for his father.
He recently showed off a strange technique and awakened Ryunar of Blizzard.
Clarir Rain Blizzard, which was only slightly strong at the human level, became incredibly strong.
Judging by that… I didn’t know if I could really fight with the demon king of Jin Purgatory, maybe even with the four major demon kings, if my power grew to that level.
10 such powers.
Pryunar… Was truly the true adversary of the Demon King.
The legacy he left behind is realized through Dre…!
I can see the clue to the attack…!
…No.
Even if that’s not the case, he’s special.
He who reconstitutes and assimilates power with only his own talents, interferes with others, disintegrates, destroys, creates.
Since he appeared, none of the good people who had originally died in the rain died.
It was the first time.
With him… Maybe… Maybe…
In this return, he may be able to win against the true demon lord.
Okay.
I never said it, but he is my hope.
On this endless journey that is hopeless and painful even after going back thousands of times…My, only…
Fluff.
“…”
Something warm… Maybe I woke up to the feeling of being covered with a blanket.
Who? My co-workers said they didn’t like me, so they would never have pulled the covers over me.
They will try to stop Garcini, who is no different from a fanatic, from me.
But Marie wouldn’t stop it.
…And Marie?
As always, are you going to tell me… Did you sleep well?
“What is it? That fucking expression.”
But what I saw was a man with ferocious eyes and a face that looked like he was about to vomit.
“…Huh.”
“Huh? Heh? Wow, you bastard said heh right now, right?”
“Yes. It’s cheesy.”
It seems that he became close with Rae Band before he knew it.
The boy frowned.
“Wake up. Fuck Rom. Are you sleeping after calling someone? You’re in a hurry, so you threw away all the fun stuff and came here, so if it’s nothing special, you’re in my hands…”
“Dear warrior!! What!! What are you doing!!”
“Evil! Evil!”
Marie Bangs Dre With Her Fists
It won’t hurt, but the guy who makes fun of it.
“Okay…”
I felt the excitement in my heart for the first time in a long time.
The thrill of a warrior who thinks he can save the world.
I hate to think of this swear word as such, but I have to admit that he is the same old man who has lived for 10,000 years.
This guy, eight days is my hope.
“Shall we start the meeting?”
“I don’t like it, fuck you.”
“…”
Sometimes. No, there are times when I want to lose quite often.
But, well… Arguing is fun in its own way.
“Restrictions lifted. I have something to tell you.”
How will you react when you hear this?
Anticipating his reaction, I laughed for the first time in a long time.
