Chapter 729 – 729. Last Choice?
The air split open and the prophet’s puppet walked out.
The guy was holding Loki’s head in his hand.
An aura strong enough to distort time and space was radiating from behind the guy.
It’s far away. It was so big and so far away that I doubted whether I could get close.
I felt like I would lose if I fought. I tensed up and raised my inhibitions.
At that time, the guy shook his head and came towards me.
His face contained many worlds.
[Can you see it? So many worlds have already been ruined.]
They are countless worlds created by prophets.
The stories of a world that had already ended were unfolding on the puppet’s face. It doesn’t disappear, it spreads out.
[This is a world line that has all failed. Nothing has reached the level of ascension like you. It all ended in the middle. Unfortunately.]
“…”
[You know what? You are the only one A being who treats the world as an egg and breaks out of it. You were the only one.]
Countless worlds created by prophets.
All of those worlds ended in failure.
Among countless simulations, the only success story is my universe.
[Amazing. Interesting. A human being who was nothing. How did it come up here? Because the source is desire? Because of the luck of 666? No. Both may have been important factors. That’s not the deciding factor.]
The puppet spread both hands and showed a new scenery.
[Because all other worlds have failed. You are the only one left.]
“I’m the only one left?”
[Okay. Everything failed. Before you succeed All have lost the possibility of ascension. That is why you have ascended the path to ascension. The order is reversed. The other worlds didn’t end because you came up. You came up because it was all over.]
The possibility of another world has not disappeared because I am on the path to ascension.
Because all the other worlds ended early, I, the one who survived, had the highest chance of ascending to heaven.
“So? Why are you telling me that now? “What are you going to do?”
[This is a pretty important story. Isn’t what you want to do now is to defeat the prophet?]
“Yes.”
[Okay. Let’s say you defeat me here and go face the prophet. After defeating the prophet, you must walk the same path the prophet walked. To a worse version.]
“… What?”
[The prophet has already used all his strength. If you kill him, you will be alone. You cannot create so many worlds like he did and then create an ascendant in one of those worlds.]
“What is that.”
The prophet created countless worlds to gain understanding.
After all those worlds were destroyed, I was plucked from the only world that survived.
Something I did only to erase my loneliness.
If I kill the prophet now, it will be impossible for me to repeat what the prophet did.
In short, in the true sense, you become alone with all possibilities eliminated.
[Think about it. Just because he was a prophet didn’t mean he fell into depression and died of loneliness from the beginning. At first, he thought there was no problem. However, by existing alone for nearly eons, he ended up creating this current situation. Is it different for you?]
“…”
[Didn’t you already feel the Dragon King’s restraining power swallowing you up? There is no longer anyone in this universe who can truly understand and sympathize with you. There is only one prophet. You bite a prophet like that to death?]
The puppet spoke to me as if he felt pity.
[You will probably be the loneliest person. You felt it too. No one will truly love you anymore. There is no being that can love. The women you used to care about are no longer worth more than trophies. Even the gods of this world are only looking at you. I will be in awe of you from now on.]
“But…”
[But that’s not it. You still don’t understand. Why did the prophet do this? Why didn’t I destroy you and your world now? At all. I didn’t understand a thing. Do you still think this is a simple confrontation and fight?]
“If not, then what is it?”
[This is. It’s a signal for help.]
“… What?”
[I’m asking you to help me.]
“They threatened to destroy other people’s worlds at will. “Is that asking for help?”
[If you don’t do that. Because you will just settle down and give up on moving forward.]
“Under. Threatening to destroy other people’s worlds. While eliminating four disasters that deal with deterrence. “That was a signal for help?”
[Okay. If you really meant to kill me. I probably just deleted it. Isn’t it? You thought it was strange too. I really want to press you down. If you wanted to destroy it. There were many ways. There were many opportunities. No! It could be possible right now. However. The prophet did not do that.]
Purpose.
The true purpose of the prophet.
It is my ascension.
“But. But.”
[If you still want to kill the prophet. Kill it. Because maybe he wants that more.]
“What do you mean by that?”
[His ultimate goal is not your ascension. Getting away. The terrible isolation and loneliness that had weighed on Him for eons. Escaping from a situation of being alone. For that… He is someone who is prepared to even disappear from existence.]
“… If you are that strong, you should commit suicide…”
[Then this world will disappear too? Although he couldn’t die in the first place. Do you think death is a convenient escape? Is it possible for the being who created the afterlife to die? I can’t even die. Pass it on or carry it together. That’s all.]
“…”
I felt like I got hit on the head.
I was unable to commit suicide because the concept of death did not apply.
[Do you understand now? This too. It’s his struggle. Just as you struggled to survive. Him too. He is struggling.]
“Then… What on earth does that prophet want? Won’t it end if I swallow you too? Doesn’t that mean you can just play with the prophet?”
[Okay. Right. Devour me. Just go to the prophet. However. The prophet and you will remain, but this world will disappear.]
“What do you mean by that!”
[One of the driving forces that can maintain this world is the existence of the adversary.]
Adversary.
In short, if I ascend to heaven, the prophet will no longer have any reason to maintain these worlds, so there is a possibility of eliminating the world.
[Once you get what you want, your desires will disappear. If that happens, your strength will naturally weaken. I wish for it because it’s not enough. I’m complaining because I’m desperate. Of course, it must still be a powerful force.]
“Damn it. What on earth are you going to do! If I kill you, I will fall into loneliness. If I save them, this world won’t be able to survive? “Can’t I just keep it?”
[If possible, I wouldn’t even have said it.]
“Fuck. No, why are you doing this to me!!! I’m going crazy! Why are you giving me this information!!!”
[Because you too are a pitiful being. Normally, I would hit and fight with you. I was thinking of losing my power. However, after talking with Loki, my thoughts changed. That’s why I gave you the information. Choose.]
Once again, I was given a choice.
Kill the prophet and die alone in eternal solitude.
Save the prophet and live with the prophet by beating each other.
[For your information, this is the loneliness a prophet feels.]
“Oh! Wait!!!!”
At that moment, my thinking expanded further.
Beyond simply feeling and recognizing the other person.
My cognitive ability has expanded and my field of vision has widened to the point where I can grasp the origin of its existence.
Soon, I became the master of a world.
Furthermore… Alone above everything…
Ah.
‘This is what it feels like?’
Everything.
All beings in one story.
Things are going according to the scenario I wrote.
I became the creator, watching their movements.
I waited.
Anyone is welcome.
Please break my scenario and come out.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting again.
“It was something like this.”
What the prophet feels.
This was the feeling.
Let me explain it more simply.
It’s full of incredible stories that I made up.
Even when I turn on the TV, I am forced to write a story while acting and laughing.
I even roughly know the ending.
Coincidence or something.
It’s unpredictable.
There is no such thing.
Know everything Be aware of it. Because I realized it.
It’s not fun to watch TV.
Even reading a book is not fun.
Neither songs nor art provide any inspiration.
Move on.
I don’t even want to create anything anymore.
Because I’ve already made everything that can be made.
Because a certain amount of time has passed. All the while. I was alone.
Even those that can communicate.
It is no different from artificial intelligence.
Everything was boring and uninteresting.
It’s all something I made, so there’s nothing new.
Endless boredom.
Infinite loneliness.
I was still alone.
I’m still alone.
[Actually, he will be satisfied either way. Being destroyed and eaten by another being is also a satisfying result. Or, it might be good to try new things together with someone who understands. The choice is yours.]
The puppet dragged me back to the original world.
I fell into trouble again.
Kill the prophet.
If you are forced to consume its power.
I have to feel again what I just experienced.
There isn’t even a way out.
This is the biggest problem. There is no escape.
It will be okay at first.
But if time continues to pass, I will eventually fall apart.
Like today’s prophets.
Will there be someone who can support me then?
None.
No one will be able to properly understand my feelings.
No one will live with me forever.
The concept of time was more than just living a long time.
There is no one equal to me. Living alone means. That is…
At the moment when existence itself became a torture and pain.
I can’t even die.
The prophet could have committed suicide by raising his adversaries.
If I kill the prophet and gain deteriorated power, I will no longer be able to die.
A choice was given.
The moment of choice has come again.
Will you choose me?
Or will you choose others?
If I sacrifice, this world will remain the same and everyone will be happy.
But if I hesitate to sacrifice, this world will disappear.
Is it my happiness, or am I going to suffer alone for nearly eternity after a short period of happiness with others?
[It is time to choose. Now, take my strength and go.]
The prophet’s puppet threw Loki’s head far away, then came towards me and took out his heart.
I received his heart and succeeded in absorbing all the fourth inhibitory power.
Now there is only one prophet left.
I have to make a choice in front of him.
