Chapter 25 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
“Hmm… , For now, let me answer your question first. The world is going to end? If so, of course we will stop it.”
That’s why, even though Yeonhwa is filled with curiosity, she gives answers to Eugene’s questions instead of asking questions.
And Eugene, who had already known this but was still suspicious considering Yeonhwa’s tendencies, breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it.
‘As expected, even if it becomes reality, Yeonhwa is definitely a sub-heroine. A being who has no choice but to help the protagonist and save the world.’
However, while other sub-heroines tried to save the world for good reasons or out of the instinctive survival instinct of wanting to live with Eugene, Yeonhwa tried to prevent destruction in a slightly different sense.
‘The obvious reason was that the world must survive so that one can practice martial arts comfortably, right? In addition, he said that if the world was truly to be destroyed, it should be destroyed by his own hands and not by anyone else.’
That was it. The story goes that the woman who is so alone in the world thinks of her world as just a training ground for her own martial arts, and she even considers the training ground as her own.
Therefore, if someone else was trying to destroy the world, he would be offended by the thought that someone else was trying to destroy his own, so he would try to stop it. He was a being with a ridiculous logic of thought.
“Hmm… , You’re not surprisingly surprised, are you? “As if I knew.”
“… …”
And Eugene, who knew that fact, was not very surprised when the Heavenly Demon answered that if the world were destroyed, she would do her best to prevent it.
I’m just feeling relieved in my heart alone.
… The problem was that Yeonhwa, who was no different from the devil, showed interest in Yeonhwa’s attitude of not being surprised when she answered that she would prevent the destruction of the world, not destroy it.
“Does she intend to keep her mouth shut without giving back an answer? “It’s as if I know what it means to open the human path and see the soul.”
‘Oh my… ! You’re turning your head so fast! Well, since the person who became the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church is a being of the highest order, there is no way her mind will be slow!’
Therefore, she would have been able to infer Eugene’s identity just by looking at her soul.
With her excellent understanding still shining, the elf Cheonma, Yeonhwa, was able to see through the truth that Eugene was trying to hide.
“Are you saying you have no intention of answering? Hehe, seeing it come out like that makes me want to know even more. “Originally, I would have used my strength to listen, but you have done me a favor.”
Therefore, if Yu-jin mentioned a favor, it would have been difficult for Yeon-hwa to put pressure on Yeon-hwa, who was sure to repay the favor. But…
“Right now, we are in a situation where we are exchanging questions and answers on equal footing. “In that case, I will ask you what you want to know by formally asking questions.”
‘You speak well about a topic that took one question right away…’ … !’
No matter how much I bowed down to Yeonhwa’s idea of strong self-respect and understood the part about the right to question and moved on, I couldn’t help but feel angry when they brought it up like that.
But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t before, and it’s okay to protest now and belatedly… Eugene has grace, so he can protect it, but one of his limbs could be blown off, so he just accepts it.
“You seem to know about the martial arts world, the Heavenly Demon Church, and the main throne. And that too in more detail than I could imagine. “How do you know?”
It was understandable if Eugene, like himself, had been reincarnated from the martial arts world, or from the Heavenly Demon Church.
However, Eugene was not from the same martial arts background as Cheonma. This situation has already been confirmed through Inhumando’s human lie detector system.
That’s why Yeonhwa couldn’t help but be curious. How on earth does someone who lived in a world different from not only this Orbital World but also his previous life, Wurim, know so much about the Demon Cult and himself as a Heavenly Demon?
“… Phew.”
And in response to Yeonhwa’s question, Eugene had no choice but to admit that what was coming had finally come.
As I said, questions similar to this question are inevitably asked to the protagonist of the original work when taking the Cheonma route.
And as I said, the way to overcome this question as safely as possible is to replace it with some of the grace given to Yeonhwa.
‘So originally, I was going to use that method too.’
Even though Yeonhwa asked a question through the formal questioning authority, the answer to this question was an answer that could upset Yeonhwa’s mood in some cases, so she tried to replace it with a favor.
That would be because I could never imagine how the elf Heavenly Demon would react if he found out that his life was being portrayed as a midday game in another world.
If I thought positively, I could have thoughtlessly thought, ‘This is reality where I live now!’
But conversely, ‘Is the main character in the story?! ‘Fuck that nonsense!’ And that huge self-esteem can cause them to rebel and not accept reality.
So it was best to be safe and hide the truth in the first place, but Eugene changed his mind after talking with Yeonhwa, who treated him in a completely different manner from her game.
‘The safest and surest means in the game is to replace it with the grace given.’
However, that was limited to the game and the reality may be different. Right now, Yeonhwa was treating Eugene in a completely different attitude than the game.
… Therefore, Eugene was able to realize that the orbital world in which he was possessed was very similar to the game he knew, but was not really a game world, but a real world where everyone lived as true beings.
Therefore, he decided to use the knowledge of the game only as ‘information’ and not to hastily judge the original knowledge as the confirmed ‘future’, and decided to put that promise into action.
“… “I know roughly the ‘future’ of how this dimension called Orbital World will move forward.”
As part of that promise, Eugene decided to reveal his own secret, which was forcibly revealed to Yeonhwa, the elf Cheonma in front of him, as well as an even bigger secret.
… Oh, of course, just in case, I told 99% of the truth and hid 1% of the truth.
+++
“So, to sum it up, you were able to glimpse into the future through some means how this dimension called Orbital World would progress in the future, and through that, you came across information about this place?”
“Even if you saw the future, it doesn’t mean you saw a confirmed future. Branches of possibility… Should I explain this? If you make this choice at a certain junction, you can reach this future, or if you make this choice, you can reach this future, etc… “It’s closer to observing with more certainty a ‘prediction’ that anyone but me could make.”
Eugene spends about 10 minutes explaining why he knows the future of Orbital World so that Yeonhwa can understand.
As a genius with an excellent understanding, Yeonhwa understood Eugene’s explanation without difficulty. She understood what he was trying to say and looked at Eugene with cool, sunken eyes and had a conversation.
“In other words, the future you saw is not a confirmed future, but if you choose the course that leads to the futures of the various possibilities you saw, there is a high probability that you will head to the future you saw?”
“It feels that way. And in the future I saw, there also existed a world of ‘not impossible possibilities’, even if it was extremely low, where the Heavenly Demon accepted a disciple and explained himself to the disciple.”
That’s why Eugene says that he was able to access information about the elf Cheonma and Yeonhwa through a game called ‘Orbital World’, a means of seeing the future.
However, as mentioned earlier, the information Eugene spoke was a statement that hid 1% of the truth amidst 99% of the truth.
In other words, I didn’t lie or mix things up even slightly. All that is spoken is the truth.
… However, the fact that Eugene obtained information about Orbital World through a game named Orbital World, which has the same name as the dimension named Orbital World, was not mentioned.
Therefore, Yeonhwa’s sense of humor, which is a human lie detector, also recognizes the fact that there was no lie in what Eugene said, and she is able to accept Eugene’s answer.
“Indeed… , This is an answer that goes beyond imagination. “How could it be possible to acquire information about this place through the future, not the past or the present?”
And through Eugene’s speaking style, her Yeonhwa understood why Eugene knew about her, without knowing that Eugene knew about her, because she was a character that appeared in her game.
“… “Do you believe me?”
“Well, if you know about this place, you will know well that this place opens the way of human beings and imprints the thoughts of heartache in their energy senses, and through seeing other people’s souls, you can read minds in a big way and grasp the truth in a small way. “You do.”
In other words, as Eugene knows, Yeonhwa is saying that she has the ability to understand the truth of what Eugene said, and that ability is proving that his answer is the truth.
That’s why Yeonhwa believed Eugene, no matter how absurd the answer he gave her.
It’s not about trusting Eugene when she meets him for the first time, but about her own ability to figure out the truth about Eugene.
“Maybe it’s the martial arts world, but after being reincarnated in this world, I never discuss the impossible.”
No matter how you think about it, supernatural abilities called magic and power that were impossible in the martial arts world existed in this world.
Even her own existence is the result of a phenomenon called reincarnation, which was thought to be impossible, so it is said that she has at least abandoned the arrogance that she knows everything.
Therefore, even if Eugene said something crazy like she knew the future, she would obediently accept it since she was faced with the result that it was true.
‘Is it really true that he is a superhuman among superhumans who has reached the status of an absolute being?’
It wasn’t even just a forced acceptance. No matter how you look at it, he has a calm appearance that cannot be considered acting.
The way she accepted it with a calm demeanor despite the fact that a person with precognitive abilities existed right in front of her, made Eugene realize her supreme mental discipline, and he was just amazed.
‘But you hid it somehow…? …’
However, like her, Eugene is also a being whose soul has reached the level of absoluteness.
Therefore, although she may be inferior to Yeonhwa, Eugene also pretended to be calm and instead of conveying most of the truth, she succeeded in hiding the truth that she wanted to hide the most.
No, she wasn’t just hiding the truth. In order to convince Yeon-hwa, Yu-jin is planning to get his money’s worth by telling her the 99% truth!
“That… , Since you believe my absurd answer, I want to tell you something.”
“I guess you and I are answering questions with each other right now, right? “If you have anything else to say, please do so after the end.”
And in order to make that attempt, despite what Yu-jin said in her mouth, Cheonma pressed for a question-and-answer session, perhaps because she wanted to ask another question after receiving Yu-jin’s one remaining question.
Ignoring Yeonhwa’s urging like that was quite a gamble.
However, Yujin said that since Cheonma recognized her as an equal, she thought that she should not be pushed out here and gave her her word.
“It will only take a moment. “I would like to tell you something that the Heavenly Demon must know about the future of the numerous possibilities that I have observed.”
“Ho… , Is this a fact that this committee needs to know? Interesting. Okay, tell me something. Step…”
Although her words were slurred and she was smiling faintly, her eyes were sharp and her eyes showed murderous intent.
Since the words are clearly said despite not wanting them, if they are meaningless remarks, the eyes convey the intention to take at least one limb even if it means risking one’s life.
Normally, she would feel an irresistible fear in those eyes and stutter her words or be unable to speak at all, but Eugene calmly put the truth he wanted to convey to Yeonhwa into her mouth.
“… The question I asked just before, how will the Heavenly Demon respond if the world is destroyed? “This is a fact that is greatly related to the question.”
“… “Is that really possible?”
