Chapter 970 – Till Death Do Us Part (7)
***
When I realized it, it was the garden of the royal palace of Bratania.
As if the scene I had seen so far had only been a blink of an eye, Sigurd, whose eyes were fading, announced that my consciousness had returned to reality.
Even Frando Lalilura, they are all fantasies in daydreams.
I wonder if it was really a dream. Even though I had preserved the memory of the dream as much as possible, it was this much, so if I woke up without preparation, I would have only a rough memory.
In that dream, two things were “Reality”.
The death of the two old rulers who intervened with the ‘real soul’ and went after it——
… Took.
Even now, it is a notebook that is caught in my inner pocket.
Everything else is a sad illusion created by my memory.
‘… No, maybe it’s fortunate for me.’
It’s my guess, but it seems that the future Frank who defeated the ‘Yellow King’ was promoted—or evolved—to an old ruler like the other space monsters.
There is a fact that I found out in the process of fixing Odin’s eyes in the world of chaos.
The old ruler is immortal, whether in dreams or in reality.
However, on the contrary, when the ‘real soul’ dies, it dies regardless of whether it is a dream or reality. It is a natural shortcoming of his ability to treat his own death as a dream at the boundary between dreams and reality.
‘So, if the real franc had entered my dream, when the future franc in the dream died, the real franc might have died as well.’
A dead franc or ‘lord of the deep’ from the future.
They are fakes that are infinitely closer to the real thing that came about when my power was promoted by Sigurd. So death in a dream has no effect on them in real life.
In terms of a game, it’s just a level where you open a free server, create a character that 100% copies of other user characters, and kill them.
‘The character in the dream is not the person in reality. Even if it’s an old ruler, it’s the same.’
If that’s not the case, wouldn’t it be a solution if you just create and kill the ‘lord of the deep sea’ in your dreams? Conversely, it wouldn’t be strange if I was called into his dream by myself.
Fortunately, the reality is not like that.
Just like the alter ego of Odin I met in Shade’s dream is not the person with the real Odin’s soul.
If you fight against a copy character and catch it, you won’t win against that user, right?
But what if the user controls a 100% identical copy character I made and loses? It’s just that the stage has changed a little, but it’s a solid victory.
It can be said that ‘Whiwang’ and ‘Yellow King’ intervened by possessing the characters of my dream like the alter ego of Odin, and then died as they were.
For those bastards, mental death is the same as real death.
In the first place, the current Frank in reality is not the old ruler, and it may not have been something to worry about.
“Your head looks complicated.”
Bastard Sigurd said to me, who was keeping his mouth shut.
“Yeah, bitch. Thanks to that, I was spoiled for life. Thank you for following me.”
It was not a sarcastic answer, but a sincere answer. With this grateful heart, I am also willing to cancel the plan to slaughter that bastard for a hundred days and nights and just blow her head cleanly.
“So what? Show me that kind of future, and if you don’t do what I say, in the worst case, it could end up like that~ Do you want to rob Yaburi?”
“Worst case? Are you serious?”
The bastard, who hadn’t gotten rid of the laugh before showing the future, spoke as if to deny the reality.
“That future is the best ending allowed to the original you.”
No, but that statement is correct.
The future me did my best. As much as it’s hard to be confident that I’m going to do better than that just because I’m here.
If Sigurd hadn’t appeared, and if I hadn’t foreseen that future, there’s a high probability that the end of humanity in a daydream would have come true.
“But you have already seen the foreknowledge. The future will change. The next one, the one after that. And one day, even the old rulers may face perdition at your hands.”
The guy who showed the ‘best future’ that actually happened, erased his expression again.
“So, how long can we not fail?”
“… …”
Even if we overcome the future we saw now, wouldn’t something similar happen next time?
Blindly saying that it would never happen was not tolerated by the cold Daegaltong. Because the possibility itself was never 0%.
I have already seen the future that has caused a realistic failure nine years later.
If that is the only solution, there will never be an incident that will make humanity grow again in the future?
Wasn’t it Odin who met eyes with the ‘lord of the deep sea’ after thinking so and searching for knowledge and being destroyed?
Veronica who opened the dimensional gate in the future and the future me are not in a position to talk. It is said that it was the will of other humans that made the world prosperous, but we must have been responsible for that opportunity.
“Henir was clumsy but wise. Indecisive, lacking in strength, but foreseeing the future. Because I knew what would happen if we left uncontrolled human desires.”
Calmly assessing the evil god who dreamed of destroying mankind, he touched his eyes.
“I did too. Ever since the day Odin obtained the throne and saw the future, there has been no day without a hopeless image of the future not disappearing from the back of his eyelids.”
Around the time of the Great War of the Golden Age, during the Great War between Atlantis and Erin against the Hittites.
At that time, Sigurd, who was a Hittite prince, heard that he had fought and defeated the disaster at the hands of the ‘lord of the deep’.
Letitia, the princess of Atlantis, Loki disguised as the Crown Crown, and Magidora, the prophet of the Bicorn Gods. As a member accompanied by these three people.
Before and after Ragnarok, he regained his throne from the octopus-headed bitch who had stolen it from Odin, and made the throne his own.
And after that, he stabbed Loki and the Prophet.
Because I saw a future that those two didn’t see.
“Even when I wake up or fall asleep, I see the wisdom that the arbitrariness, desire, and obsession of humans somewhere in the world today will soon destroy the whole world. Seeing the distant future is like a battle between prophets.”
Resolving one reveals another ruin.
Because the future that the Power of Foresight observes as the top priority is destruction.
So he betrayed Loki and the Prophet.
He formed a
Loki was mortally wounded, and the Prophet fled and left a prophecy telling the clan not to leave any writing behind.
However, the Prophet could not reveal the treachery of the man he believed to be Wolf Hedin. He couldn’t tell the prophecy was wrong.
So, the prophet’s successors, including Veronica, have been searching for the ‘guide of the prophecy’ who will save the clan all their lives, and generation after generation.
In the meantime, Sigurd had an undisclosed influence on human society, sometimes even destroying the country of the elves.
He killed the unicorn that went against the prophecy of the prophet and tried to leave the truth in writing.
Like Fran’s father, the dwarf artisans of Nidavellir, as talented as they were, slowed down human civilization before it could be restored to the level of the Golden Age.
“Then, in the middle of the day, I saw your presence.”
When he went to kill Equinox, who was trying to rule the underworld.
It was then that I found myself seeing myself in a future where I didn’t even know how much the future was.
Although he did not know who I was or how much later he would come, Sigurd knew that the guide of the prophecy, ‘Wolf Hedin’, was coming to visit him.
“Letitia died at your hands.”
Sigurd, who released Gungnir, shook his head.
“Wasn’t she trying to placate you? If they could be together, she would think that would be the best thing, but if they refused, they would have to kill her. He who refuses to get her hands dirty is not a substitute for himself and for me.”
Sigurd’s eyes shone as if he didn’t think so.
“Abandon the hypocrisy. Break down your trivial beliefs and take over what I used to do.”
Carry on what you were doing as
A maniacal obsession was revealed on his face as he said that. It was the confidence that a prophet who had stopped a future that was about to be ruined many times would have.
“We are different from Odin. As a prophet with the power to twist fate, persevere through the future you want. For your own well-being and for the sake of 90% of humanity, have the mindset to weed out the remaining 10% of humanity.”
It’s an extension of what I’ve done so far.
Just like when I was fighting Henir, I use my foresight to do everything I can to make the future I want.
Just don’t mind slaughtering innocent people like
Only then can a ruin like the one that occurred nine years later be prevented.
Just as Odin saw the ‘lord of the deep sea’, it is necessary to protect the entire human race from unknown threats that may exist somewhere in the universe.
Sigurd was talking like that.
“If you don’t like the way it is, you can change it. However, if you were more brutal and used your wisdom without being tied to conscience and beliefs, such a future would not have come.”
Sigurd stepped to his feet. I started to tremble as if Gungnir was warning me about my life, but he walked steadily like an invader’s sailboat going through the wind.
“Knowledge sharing is a double-edged sword. You have the power to control knowledge with your own judgment, and to have perfect control over all variables while getting your hands dirty. There is wisdom that makes that possible.”
“What if I don’t accept?”
“You will experience firsthand the folly of man. This time in real life.”
The guy held out his hand to me.
“Say it straight-forward. I don’t care if you want to take my life right here and now. Instead——”
Dig-!
From Sigurd’s hand, Thor’s throne blossomed.
“You will succeed me and become the king of
As if admonishing a successor who failed to properly guide the future.
I crossed my arms and looked at the guy who stopped in just the right place to strike me in the head if I swung the spear.
“Let’s ask one question before answering.”
There was so much I wanted to say, but I shoved all sorts of words up my chin down my throat.
And just one thing, the most important thing.
“What were you thinking if I died from the ‘Yellow King’?”
If the future was shown to convince me, then I shouldn’t have neglected the risk of being eaten up by the old rulers.
So after closing and opening my eyes for a while, it’s highly likely that it wasn’t me who was standing here listening to his bullshit, but one of those bastards.
-Wriggling. Sigurd’s eyebrows drew an inverse figure.
“… I’d wake up from a dream I don’t know what you did in the future, but even if you die in a dream, you just wake up in reality. Did you even kill the three survivors?”
Somewhere out of focus answer.
That answer was exactly what I wanted to hear.
“… Flaw.”
The chimi laugh was suppressed briefly.
Because once you start laughing, it seems like you won’t stop laughing for hours.
Instead of laughing like a madman, I showed a cynicism.
“The future is always changing. When I saw it, it had already changed.”
“… Drivel. Even if the future has changed because of your intervention, it is already too late to turn around at that point—”
“I am not the one who changed the future, you asshole.”
My cool and smart wife. I snorted and half-opened my eyes.
‘… Veronica.’
The girl of the future believed that the me of this era would see the future.
And transcending time, he created variables.
He created a butterfly effect on himself in the past and changed the future in his dreams that did not happen. Sigurd was unaware of the change.
The future that only Sigurd could see, that only I could see!
The result is the franc that has appeared before us.
“I guess… The future you and I saw is quite different.”
When I reach out, the notebook remains unchanged in my inner pocket.
Like the power of creation, a notebook protrudes from a dream into a reality. I did not forget a single letter of the ink smeared with tears and the trembling handwriting, I engraved them in my head.
A record of all the despair Veronica of the future went through.
This is the despair of the future and the hope of our time.
─Tok tok. Tapping my temple, I said to the silent asshole.
“In the future you saw, our franc was revived? In that dream, the ‘Hwi King’ and the ‘Yellow King’ intervened and harassed them to take them to reality?”
“… …”
“I don’t think so. The future you showed the way, and the future I foresaw, would have been completely different from what you saw. I guess it will be sometime in the future where Lari Lura and all of her survivors die.”
But that future changed before it even came true.
In the simulation I saw, the variables were already entered.
‘When Veronica awakened her powers for the first time.’
Already at that time, the future after 9 years had changed before it was even realized. The butterfly effect she caused changed the future foreseen to me into a different aspect.
Before her death, the future Veronica must have known that the era was hopeless.
But she has no power to change her destiny. Even if her consciousness and her memories are returned to the past, only humans who are chaos’ favorites can change her future.
And among them, I am the only prophet.
So, for me to see the future someday, I left a notebook with Franc’s cooperation.
I hope that I, who came from the past, will change the future that I cannot change!
“Since our idiot prince has become a mute who has eaten honey, I will use the questioning ticket you gave me for something else. You seem to want me to be your successor, but why?”
I feel her hand pushing me from a future that hasn’t happened.
My elite cobwebs seem to be running more smoothly than ever. Odin’s eyes flashed and I revealed the answer.
“──Lifespan.”
No being in this universe is eternal.
And we humans are not particularly eternal.
“You and Letitia are both humans from hundreds of years ago. If that’s the case, let’s just assume that he lived a little longer than the elf.”
Such a lifespan is too long to be regarded as the effect of inheriting the
What kind of trick did you do? Sigurd is still alive because there is a technique that extends lifespan. The results are showing off in front of me, and I didn’t have to question whether it was possible.
What’s important is what comes next.
“So, can I live as long as I have lived so far?”
Dog sound.
Even the 7 substitutes, who had risen to the master class on their own, died due to their own circumstances.
After her death, she invited things that were her own powers and settled in the underworld with the powers of Armasunas, and then passed away. Because human life is not eternal.
Is Sigurd different?
It will be different. She’s lived hundreds of years, so she could live easily over a thousand years, possibly outliving any elf. It’s probably impossible to become a lich.
But, how much longer will it last like that?
“That’s what Loki said. I will live longer than any other human being. That’s what you want Wolfheddin appeared hundreds of years after the prophecy. Heir to replace you.”
Power of wisdom.
The power to overcome one’s destiny as a favorite child of chaos.
Nine times out of ten, a lifespan comparable to that of the gods, perhaps as immortal as the rulers of old.
A successor who has the same talent and will do the same job as himself.
Sigurd wanted such a Wolfhedin.
‘If you think about it, you’ll understand.’
The future Veronica obtained Odin’s throne and passed it on to Fran.
The ruler of life and death, who died once and was resurrected.
It must have been a reenactment of Odin’s anecdote, so that Fran, who had lost his life, would always come back to life so that I could return with the key of hope from the future.
‘But where did Odin’s throne come from?’
Could it be that Veronica betrayed Sigurd and took the throne?
The Prophet’s Contradiction Veronica is no exception.
Rather, she is an existence that belongs to fate like the ‘Lord of the Deep’. So, in the future, I was more likely to be defeated, like I had killed that octopus head.
Veronica can’t avoid an unfavorable fate, but that bastard will be able to return and kill our goddess as many times as the battle unfolds.
Knowing that, isn’t the conclusion obvious?
“How many years do you have until the day you search?”
Sigurd dies within nine years at the latest.
So the Veronica of the future came to the past.
By inscribing her unconscious into her past self, she changed her future once without anyone noticing. She didn’t go against fate and worked miracles.
A throne that must have been hidden somewhere before Sigurd died.
Sigurd, who would have chosen death without hesitation because it was a future that would not come true anyway, would have hidden the power of Odin to create a more hopeless future.
Veronica, who blew her consciousness into the past, found it within nine years.
After finding it, he asked Frank to entrust that power to the future a little more than 9 years.
Someday I will observe, to the future a little later!
Undoubtedly.
‘The future I saw was a future in which the past had already been modified once.’
So Fran was able to help us by obtaining Odin’s Throne and defeating the ‘Yellow King’.
Because? Because Veronica has already exercised her power of foresight once and changed the future I will observe!
I want to let you know that the future can be changed as much as you like!
