Chapter 402 – Foreknowledge (3)
There was something puzzling.
In any case, they were wives who tried to maintain the world government they had created… No, even the world government, this world they had protected with their own hands.
Even though the reasons were different for each person, there was no way they wouldn’t stop it when something like that happened.
But the reason they didn’t appear in the vision I saw…
I didn’t even think there was a reason why that couldn’t be done.
When Lilith and the Heavenly Demon had a fight, I watched it from right next to me.
A battle that could be measured as a local earthquake, even beyond the barrier that Hoaran and Justitia had set up.
A fight between transcendent people who transcend the power that an individual can have and who can fight against the world alone if they want to.
The giant monster that split the sea with just its roar looked a bit tough, but at least it didn’t look like a monster that couldn’t be killed if all the wives came out to raid.
However.
Why, even as the world was falling into ruin, were the images of the wives not reflected in the world on the verge of destruction?
That’s right, it was because everything I saw reflected in my eyes a moment ago was all in vain.
If you thought you were just seeing something because you were tired, it would all make sense, and that was the only story.
However…
The nausea continued to rise.
I kept trying to deny it, but the what-ifs kept coming back to me.
The thought of what if, what if, there was a reason why they couldn’t show up came to mind and I got sick of it.
So, I decided to ask.
I took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions that were constantly boiling over, and opened my mouth.
“…Hey, Justitia.”
“Yes? Why? “Would you like me to make you some medicine to take when your stomach hurts?”
Even though there was no way for Justitia to believe something that even Lilith didn’t believe, she shook her head slightly and said to Justitia, who said that because it fit the lie I told.
“Rather than that, there’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
“Yeah, if that’s what I know.”
Asked Justitia, who shrugged her shoulders.
“What if, really, what if… The world is suddenly about to fall apart… Then what will you do?”
I decided to check first.
In fact, you might answer that it doesn’t really matter whether the world falls apart or not.
At my question, Justitia’s blue eyes looked at me.
“By that world, you obviously mean this world, right?”
“Yeah, well. Yes. Anyway… For example, when a monster that seems to be a combination of all evil and evil runs rampant, and in the midst of it, a huge dimension crash occurs and all kinds of shit breaks out. “What are you going to do about Justitia?”
“…Hmm. “Okay.”
Just for a moment, Justitia, who had been pondering, opened her mouth.
“It might be a little annoying, but let’s catch that monster first… And then solve the rest, right? “Dimension Crash may not be prevented, but we will be able to somehow prepare for it after it ends.”
Okay.
Even though Justy Tiara was the embodiment of annoyance, she was not the kind of person who would watch this world fall apart.
Rather, it is Hoaran and Lilith who care about this world more than Justitia.
Ariad, who had visited them and the other twenty-two heroes to tell them what she had predicted in order to prevent such a disaster in the first place, could not stay still.
So, it was impossible for them to not exist even while the world was falling apart.
So, while I was about to conclude that this was something that could never happen, I stopped.
I spoke to Justitia again.
“…What if circumstances arise that make it impossible to do so? “Is there such a thing?”
I asked about something that kept bothering me.
And Justitia answered my question.
“Yes, in that case… There are a few things that can’t be done now.”
There are several.
I calmed down the feelings that were cooling down.
As the color of reality was added to the things I had tried to dismiss as illusions and nonsense, I swallowed down the nausea that was rising.
And then I asked again.
“For example?”
“Because something of that magnitude happened… It could be that you were unluckily injured so badly that you couldn’t move, or that you were abandoned by Hanzo and couldn’t receive semen, and the mana in your Dragon Heart was completely dried up.”
I don’t know if it was slander, but if it was the latter, it couldn’t have happened.
“Justitia.”
“Yeah, I’m just kidding. Joke. “I know that Hanzo won’t do that… The former also honestly makes no sense… After that, what’s left is…”
Justitia took her word.
“I guess I will when I have Hanzo’s child.”
…
“Why child?”
Damn it.
Justitia’s eyes widened ever so slightly as she attempted to draw a cross, but then she calmly calmed down.
In a rare display of her emotions and then subdued, Justitia opened her mouth.
“That’s right, if you use too much force… Your unborn baby will be in danger.”
It was only for a moment, but it allowed me to see why Justitia rarely showed her emotions, her anger.
“…The child is in danger?”
“Yes, even if he is a transcendent or a god with divinity, his power is not passed down through blood. In any case, even if Hanzo and I have a child… It will be an ordinary fetus. If it were Hanzo and my child, it would be a half dragon. Anyway, even if you’re half dragon, if you put that much power on your body, no matter how much you protect yourself, problems will arise.”
No matter how strong the dragon is, in the end, it is just a mortal creature, and I looked at her as Justitia added.
Uh… But, what about Justitia?
As far as I know, Justitia was born with exceptionally strong ‘bloodlines’ and was a demigod as soon as she was born.
When she had that thought, Justitia said:
“Of course, that doesn’t mean everything is like that. There are cases where you receive that power through inheritance… Or, there are cases where you are born with that kind of blood, so you receive the faith of countless people from the womb, and you become a god from birth.”
It’s a common story, right? Justitia giggled.
“That person’s father arbitrarily thinks that because his mother is a great and wonderful person, his child will definitely be like that, and he arbitrarily expects it and makes his own decisions. In my case, it could be said that it was a case of two things: the power I inherited from my blood by chance, and the divinity that came from that expectation.”
Justitia’s face looked a little bitter as she said that.
“But this case is also very rare. Well, no matter how great your bloodline is, even if you received faith from the womb. There is almost no way a child in the womb can accept such divinity. Because the starting line is different, it is easier to attain godhood and rise to the rank of god. Even if one inherits the bloodline of a god, most people are not gods or demi-gods as soon as they are born.”
So, do it.
Justitia said.
“That wouldn’t be the case for my child, who has no great-grandfather, no grandfather, no father’s name… He’s just one of the dragons in this world whose mother is only a little famous.”
I know that as soon as my child comes out of Justitia’s womb, there will be no more shouting for infant supremacy in the world.
And Justitia’s words did not end.
“But, isn’t that what Hanzo is curious about? Well, anyway, I’m sure I wouldn’t do anything in that situation. While I’m pregnant, I won’t be able to return to my original body… With my current body, the strength I can use is at most half of my original body. Dealing with monsters that meet the conditions Hanzo mentioned, and preventing such disasters. “I don’t know, but I won’t do it because it would be very dangerous for the child.”
Okay.
I see
What I wanted to be denied, to tell me that what I saw had absolutely no chance of happening, was denied by Justitia.
However, this story is not just about Justitia.
I similarly understood that other wives would be in a situation where they would not be able to do anything if they were pregnant with my child.
I realized that what I saw was a future that could happen.
Thanks to this, I was able to understand why they did not appear in the vision I saw.
“…Okay. “Thank you for letting me know.”
Her clenched fists relaxed.
Then, I told my wives who were quietly waiting for me to tell them why I was doing this.
“Actually…”
No matter how much I thought about it, this wasn’t something I should hide, so I ended up telling everything I saw.
Stories about seeing things like Giant Monster, Dimension Crash, and the 22 Heroes who were missing after they died.
All.
When the wives heard my whole story, Lilith was the first to speak.
“…And then you’re telling me you’re not feeling well?”
It hurt to see Lilith staring at me, but she had nothing to say.
“Lilith, don’t criticize Hanzo too much. Isn’t this too absurd to easily believe? Rather than trees… It would be important to know what the things Hanzo saw were.”
“If I had to guess, it would be Ariad’s precognitive ability.”
“Ugh, whatever. Of these, I am the only one with such abilities, so it may be so.”
“There is certainly no other way to explain what Hanzo experienced. To say that he was seeing an illusion is because there are no traces of any spell or magic left around him… Moreover, Hanzo is a body that is not prone to such types of abilities.”
In an instant, the wives concluded what I had seen.
However, I thought about that too, but there was a big problem with this.
“…That’s all right, let’s say what he saw was indeed precognition. “How on earth did this idiot see the wisdom that Ariad could only see when he was still divine?”
As Lilith said, why was I able to see such precognition?
