Chapter 422 – The Story Later.(2)
“You left in the end.”
“That’s right”
Hosea and Joshua looked somewhere with bitter and wistful expressions.
My father eventually left with my mother.
Life there would never be easy, but considering that he had lived alone in seclusion, refusing the wealth and fame here, it might have been better for him to be with his mother.
The damage to the world was by no means small.
All the last ports were destroyed, and even her mother self-destructed, wiping out most of the demons, but humanity’s evacuation was delayed due to the curse of the damn demon Gremory, causing quite a lot of damage.
Joshua, who was wearing an eyepatch over his right eye, glanced at the news that had come from afar.
“Why is this damned devil so anxious to catch us even now?”
“I know. Wasn’t Gremory a demon friendly to humans?”
Of course I know.
Gremory’s friendship is not really a friendship for the betterment of humans, but is simply a matter of policy based on the way she operates as a demon.
Still, it was difficult to understand why they were making such a fuss and not doing the same for themselves.
Of course, I guessed it to some extent.
Since they, the descendants of their mother, are in fact very difficult to ‘fall’, Gramory’s point of view may have made the choice to erase them.
In the ancient nation of Israel, if the kings were good and faithful, the people also served God properly. On the other hand, if the king is evil and corrupt, he falls down with him.
Maybe it’s because they will become something that will become a good example for humanity here.
In any case, it seemed like Gremory’s trick was almost falling apart at first.
In fact, the reason why there was so much loss of life was because of the actions of the pseudo-sect that tried to prevent everyone from evacuating to a refuge before the demons arrived.
But people say it is a being of oblivion.
After the last human-demon war, and in the process of healing the scars, the generations that did not survive the human-demon war began to fall for the whispers of the Gremory pseudo-sect that was persistently operating in secret, one by one.
It has already been more than 20 years since the end of the Human-Demon War, and in the process of resolving the damage from the Human-Demon War, naturally, Hosea and Joshua, as well as those who were born directly from their mother or indirectly received a blood transfusion from their mother and inherited their mother’s blood, have become important people in society. He was appointed to an important position.
Although not as good as their mother or father, Yuria’s children were also heroes who made great contributions in the Human-Only War and played a major role in the subsequent damage recovery and redevelopment, so their rights were also very great, but like Yuria and Loa, they also did not have much of a need for power. They were far from greed or luxury.
However, despite this, their position was enough to make them feel deprived in this era where many things were lacking and insufficient.
Of course, those who directly experienced the period of the Human and Demon War knew of their merits, so they regarded them as worthy and were not jealous, but the generations that followed did not experience that era directly and lived a life lacking in everything compared to the era before the Human and Demon War. The number of people who felt that their wealth was unfair was increasing.
Of course, they also know well from their parents what happened to their wealth by hearing and learning directly from them, but just ‘knowing’ and ‘realizing’ were completely different matters.
The Church of Gremory persistently dug into that gap.
The heresies that were popular among the younger generation began to gain a force that could not be ignored at some point, and after they came to their senses, they were firmly established on the continent as one of the official denominations.
They didn’t want to admit it at all.
The countless technologies that Yuria’s children have spread to this world. The systems and systems maintained by them.
The stability and order of this world are maintained because of that.
These include roads that they are using without even realizing it, academies that educate countless children for free, and reservoirs and waterways for farming. And many canals connected with it, etc. Citizens did not even want to know with whose private money the numerous infrastructures were built.
It’s just that Yuria’s children have so much wealth that they just think they are lacking.
Yuria’s descendants began to prosper more and more after that.
Even Hosea is unusual. Joshua too. And Sen and Fang. And Naomi too.
The relationship between the couple was very good, and many children were born.
Erza and Riza, who had relatively short lifespans, survived and gave birth to children who were over 20 years old, Sen lived for hundreds of years and had hundreds of children with her elf husband, and Fang also gave birth to dozens of children with her human husband.
And Yuria’s descendants were very prolific, as her youngest child, Naomi, also gave birth to over a hundred children.
Yuria’s descendants were increasing rapidly.
Even amid various accidents and conflicts, Yuria’s descendants prospered more and more, and before we knew it, this world began to feel threatened.
Like the past.
Like the Egyptians who enslaved the Jews.
Distant past.
The Jews entrusted themselves to Egypt to survive the long drought.
And the Jews continued to live in Egypt, herding and herding livestock on behalf of the Egyptians. As time passed, the Jews gradually prospered at an alarming rate.
As a result, the Egyptians were afraid of the growth of the Jews and enslaved, persecuted, and exploited them in order to prevent their growth and take advantage of their power.
Yuria’s descendants, like the Jews, began to be recognized as a threat throughout the world and coveted their enormous wealth.
And around this time, Yuria’s descendants also began to gradually show cognitive changes.
They didn’t really think of themselves as one race, but at some point they began to distinguish themselves from other races.
And as Yuria’s blood gradually becomes thinner, so does her lifespan. Abilities too. Wary of their gradual decline, they began to distinguish themselves from other races at some point.
With ordinary humans. Descendants of Yuria. The interests of the two groups are at least as unified in this regard, and Yuria’s descendants are the ones who built the top of Delis, Nuri’s wife.
They began to be called Euros, taking their name from the top of the Euros.
At some point, the Euro people began to live together, marrying only among themselves.
Occasionally, people married people other than the Euro tribe, but in such cases, it became a tradition for the spouse to also live in the territory of the Euro tribe.
Even the Euros were not aware of when and why it became like that, but it was probably close to an instinctive reaction.
Because they unconsciously recognized that other humans around the world were beginning to ostracize them, and felt that they were trying to pose a threat to them.
In fact, there were many cases where a significant number of Euros were kidnapped and subjected to cruel biological experiments, or kidnapped as slaves and met a cruel end.
“It’s bittersweet… 」
Hosea and Joshua, who built the cradle of the Europeans, looked down on the city from a high hill, now looking quite old.
Even though they sacrificed, worked hard, and gave a lot to humans, humans did not understand them.
Therefore, the two gathered their descendants in one place and created one community.
Because they recently realized that they are beings who can never be understood in this world.
Her wife and older sisters, Elsa and Lisa, passed away before her death.
None of the children he had with his sisters lived properly in this world, with only one of them dying in his lifetime.
Is that why?
Hosea and Joshua, for some reason, brought together Europeans from all over the world to one place after their last generation descendants died of life expectancy.
In the process, a huge amount of goods was consumed, but the united Euros demonstrated a huge synergy effect to the extent that the consumption of such goods was acceptable.
At some point, the social structure of the Euro people naturally began to move toward a system similar to democracy.
It is a little different from being called a democracy, and although there was a certain level of class structure, it was in fact a structure that was no different from the abolition of the class system.
And within it, Hosea and Joshua were the oldest men among the Euros, and although they were not kings, they were the most influential within the Euros.
But now that the Euro family itself has become stable and tightly bonded, the two feel that there is nothing more for them to do.
Hosea and Joshua looked at each other, lifted the small rock in front of them, and took out the small box buried inside.
In the box is a will left by my mother.
Actually, since he is still alive, would it be a bit much to call it a will?
Anyway. There was a note about the last arrangement left before leaving this world.
The two, who survived longer than the youngest Naomi, slowly changed their appearance.
From the appearance of an old man to a young man.
You have just become an adult. Or, he looks like he’s on the borderline of a teenager who seems to be just about to enter adulthood.
Their hair, which was once red, has long since turned blue like their mother’s.
I was just maintaining my original appearance through my abilities.
The reason I gave up the image I had maintained so far was because I had now made a decision.
The two, who had already disposed of and organized everything, quietly headed towards Gashu holding the book with the preservation spell.
After the day her mother left, Methuselah became one with Yggdrasil amidst various events.
It was because there was something that had to be done otherwise, but that was why she had to go there in order to use the arrangements left by her mother.
『This is what happened in the end』
Yggdrasil.
No, the third self, who could be said to have been born anew by uniting Yggdrasil and Methuselah, spoke to me.
She is Yggdrasil and Methuselah.
However, if you look at the proportion of the ego, the proportion of Yggdrasil was overwhelming.
『In the end, you too are planning to leave this place』
Hosea and Joshua nodded slightly.
Now, the Euros have grown enough to be self-reliant even without them.
“All right. Then, this power that I have acquired for two hundred years. I will use it now』
And that day.
Hosea and Joshua.
The first generation of Euros, the only ones still remaining in the world, completely disappeared.
