Chapter 988 – Deep Falling (1)
Longing is a feeling that comes from love.
So she thinks She said she was in love with her even before she was born.
From the time she suddenly woke up in her reality on the other side of the emptiness densely studded with the Milky Way, she harbored longing.
He accumulated endless wisdom because he was wiser than anyone else in such a stupid world, but learning the word ‘longing’ was a fortune that came a long time later.
That’s when I knew the feelings that the word meant.
The ‘lord of the deep’ who climbed the green prominence realized that she was missing someone she hadn’t met yet.
Behold, a prophet is such a miserable creature.
Because you have to miss someone you’ve never met to the bone.
【… ■■.]
A fateful opponent who does not know his face or name.
So today she looks up at the stars.
Like a girl who embraced her passion for the first time, she never forgot that pure feeling.
The day she meets him even before her first meeting, she hangs herself and waits and waits.
What a wonderful blessing that the old ruler could not go against the flow of fate!
If everything went as it was destined, she would just have to look up at the stars with empty eyes. As long as we are looking forward to the day we meet, all major and minor issues will be resolved.
Even if she didn’t bother to do anything, the future flowed as she ‘saw’ it.
Even while she was sleeping dreaming, her mighty limbs crushed all enemies.
Even when those who began to refer to themselves as the old rulers in order to reign in the universe where foreign gods disappeared were rampant, and when they conquered them and reigned as the incarnation of fear.
Her mind was in a deep sleep.
Because her dreams can only come true while she is asleep.
Since she was destined from birth to break the necks of her compatriots and rise to the top of the old rulers, her body only fulfilled the duties imposed by fate.
Therefore, she dreams and waits.
Using the fate of the entire universe as a savory appetizer.
Her pessimistic futility would have seemed only morbid and terrifying madness to the service tribe and other former rulers.
She didn’t care because she never asked for understanding.
That time when she was going to eat appetizers that she bitten like that with inertia. By the time the fateful opponent begins to reflect on his foreknowledge, little by little, like peeling gourd with a very thin razor.
That fateful day that I still can’t forget.
——The ruler who looked up at the stars met the eyes of the one-eyed goddess.
***
After gathering, we flew toward the Pacific Ocean.
It was relatively easy to move because it was not yet in the domain of the ‘Lord of the Deep’. Even if you boarded a supersonic aircraft, the scenery passed behind you at a speed that seemed slower than this.
“You have already crossed the sea of stars, do you need to keep moving by opening the dimensional rift? This is pretty tiring…”
“If you don’t want to be observed by the people in this town, quit. Earth has an artificial satellite. And wouldn’t it be nice if the octopus didn’t find out about the attack?”
I dismiss Loki’s complaining muttering.
I don’t intend to appear on the 9 o’clock news with a rare UFO photo in the 21st century.
Anyway, it’s nice to be able to move around even if you’re still, like on a high-speed airliner.
Lalilura’s stamina is one of the key to this operation. If it wasn’t for Loki, he might have had to hold the ship. Of course, I didn’t want to give up my ID, so there was no answer other than smuggling.
Angus looked at Loki, who was displaying the power of the God of All Worlds, who had been completely empowered, and gestured to me.
“Is there any point in hiding the presence? The ‘lord of the deep’ is a prophet.”
“It has meaning. Odin and that bitch can’t see the near future very well.”
Is there a difference between a sprinter and a marathon runner?
I, a pure human prophet, see the near future, and those divine beings belonging to the flow of destiny see the distant future. Loki said the same thing the other day.
“Unless it is directly related to death, a prophet who sees the distant future cannot read everything right in front of him. If you read and dig a deadly trap, this time I foresee the danger.”
“It’s like playing house with set rules. If I read the future the enemy reads the future, the enemy reads the future… Ehh, that’s why the prophets.”
As Angus grumbled, Ogma kept her head straight and said.
“Fighting is originally petty, like a group of children. It is the crystallization of savagery and savagery that denies the person you don’t like and pushes your own will even if you see blood.”
“Can the god of war say such a thing?”
“So what are you talking about? War is won by the most naive.”
─Swipe. As a habit, Ogma drew characters for the five senses in the air.
“Ulfhedin. What do you think?”
“What?”
“Did you foresee the number of your spleen? If you had foreknowledge, what kind of preparations would you have made? If you fight head-on, even the lord of that star’s sea won’t be able to defeat you.”
The secret number is the future Veronica’s notebook.
Still, saying that the ‘lord of the deep sea’ can’t defeat me is not flattery or a lie to boost morale. It becomes very contradictory, but that’s what happens when prophets fight each other.
‘If the strength is the same, the god of prophecy cannot defeat the human prophet.’
It’s ironic, but in hindsight it’s worth it.
Please think of my fight with Sigurd.
I saw the future of being robbed by Sigurd, but there is no way to defy that fate? Then I must have melted like chocolate as soon as I competed for the first time?
The higher the strength, the higher the chance of defeat.
By the way, it’s enough for me to destroy fate, but the octopus-headed bitch is the old ruler. A being that cannot defy fate.
Sigurd was fine. Even he could change his destiny.
When the divine prophets fought—when Odin and the octopus fought—there was no problem. Because the conditions are the same.
But what if I fight the ‘Lord of the Deep’?
“It’s like a rock-paper-scissors that tells you what you’re going to do. But only I have the privilege of changing the shape I give out. I’m not an idiot enough to lose even with these rules.”
If I fight the ‘lord of the deep sea’, I will win 100 times.
In the future 9 years from now, even though I was tired of breaking through various old rulers, I made friends with her!
Since we are fully prepared and have expanded our power far compared to the future, the odds of winning are likely to exceed 90%. It’s just a rough guess, but whatever.
If that’s the case, I can win like a dog, like eating cake, to the point where I’d rather have no deaths than win.
“In other words, I mean it could never happen.”
Fran repeated what he had shared a long time ago.
Hit. If we win 90% of the time, it will be a death crisis for the ‘lord of the deep sea’. That’s why he must have set up a plan before his fate was finalized.
It was almost obvious what the plan was.
“… I’m waiting now. In the dorm.”
Said Fran. It triggered a vision of the future. Satis deflected the protest.
“It’s not a question that I would ask as a god of hunting, but… What do you see?”
“They are the old rulers who have been resurrected. And… They all seem self-conscious.”
“Are you self-conscious?”
That statement surprised me too. Because it was surprising.
“Aren’t you enslaved by the ‘Lord of the Deep’? Wasn’t it like that when you first saw the future Fran a few days ago?”
Frank, who was in charge of detection in our party, succeeded to Odin’s throne and was able to detect the future. Thanks to you, even before I came here, you took a peek at the future instead of me.
Fran, who sees the distant future, and I, who sees the short future.
It is a fraudulent group of prophet couples who complement each other’s shortcomings.
“I wonder if they put restrictions on them and let them go. Even if you dominate, it’s meaningless if you lose the battle and die by Norr. And the measures taken by the old rulers were as expected.”
As her eyes lit up, Angus swallowed her saliva.
“Humans.”
“All of them are people of this world. Followers gathered to become slaves, high priests, or sacrifices. Possessed people. Among them, I select and use people with strong willpower.”
Fran said angrily. I had no choice but to shake my head.
“Ha, the nimiral alien fan clubs.”
Yes damn, if there are cosmic monsters in common sense, come! Pokemon Ghost Story! I’m sorry if there aren’t any black cows, extras from horror movies.
Humans raise silkworms, which are nothing more than worms, and spin threads.
There was no law anywhere that the old ruler couldn’t do that either.
“What a waste. If I had come a little earlier, I would have filmed an eventful expedition to stop the conspiracy of the old rulers.”
The Human Cordyceps Plan. I laughed while revealing this.
Of course, it wasn’t because I was laughing.
“Woo-shin was an old ruler possessed by a monster, right? Then, if you absorbed your followers without killing them——”
“Theoretically, you can defy fate.”
Ogma, who also excelled in magic, snorted.
“It’s a desperate solution. If you overcome it as easily as words say, there is nothing to call it fate. It’s a miracle that I can barely wish for when I have my powers as a human like Rahan.”
Henir’s last hit from Kanesh. It’s a level of compulsion that makes sense only when you realize the power to overcome fate independently of your godhood like that guy.
Like Ogma said, possessing a human is just a last resort.
‘It won’t end just by possessing it.’
The ‘Lord of the Deep’, who is so good at magic as to impersonate Odin, must have done an additional trick. However, residual talents are residual talents even if they are used well.
As Ogma said, you can’t overcome all fate with that.
“Because you were cornered, you knew that it was futile resistance, but you were forced to——I guess you’re going to disguise yourself and hide your true purpose.”
Loki half-opened his eyes.
“It’s an obvious trick, but I can’t help it.”
“No matter what you’re aiming for, it doesn’t give you time to work in vain. Everyone get ready.”
Satis, who continued to draw the string, gradually lowered the angle at which the bow was aimed.
“It’s already right below.”
As the god of hunting, Satis seemed to have already discovered where the ‘Lord of the Deep’ resided.
Loki spread the runes wide and gathered them together like a magic circle.
The strangely cool Pacific Ocean distorted. It forced open the dimensional wall.
“Wulfhedin!”
“Going.”
Declared to the party and clenched his fists.
If the right place is right, it will be Lalilura’s job, but today it’s mine.
“Serious punch.”
─Pakang!!!!
A fist wrapped in blurry lightning destroyed the dimension. It’s refreshing no matter how many times you hit it. I’m afraid it will become a hobby.
Quad de de de de de de de deuc—!!!!
The dimension destroyed by the fist rotated in a spiral. It was like a whirlpool in the sea, but what the rotation created was darkness, not current.
“Go down! Lalilula!”
“It’s a shame to try a joint performance!”
─Pair! Lari Lura put her palms together and her open hand unleashed her power. Time and space tear apart when touched! Lalilura snatched the category of destruction.
“Here!”
Loki waved his hand. Runes paved the way, like guidelines.
Lari Lura cast off her net, which succeeded in her big catch.
Chaaaaa-!!!!
All the seawater in the shelter was pulled out.
The space dried up. Digging deep into the sea in an instant, like being sucked into a vacuum cleaner, we reached the palace of the bizarre Forum.
No, can we call this a palace?
It occurred to me that if anyone could consider this twisted structure a palace, he would also consider the anthill an outstanding castle.
“Synthesis!”
Ogma quickly revealed the invisible darkness. It’s usually not dark. It would be difficult for my colleagues other than Fran to see through this darkness.
The vast building was wide enough for the owner of a castle as big as a mountain to wander around, so we were really dwarfed like ants that entered a human castle.
Of course, I wouldn’t be dwarfed by them at all.
“… Are you here?”
Sobek, who had been gathering his fighting spirit without getting involved in the chatter, raised his staff.
A scale floated in the dark.
The sticky darkness ripples like waves. The pillars, which seemed unlikely to have been created by creatures that were born and evolved from the same star, vibrated loudly, announcing the approach of something enveloping us.
It was surrounded by a long body, but it was difficult to stop the siege.
It was because its size was abnormally large, and it was wriggling from a long distance where it would be difficult to deliver an effective hit unless it was a satis.
A sound like flapping wings approached.
“Smell. It’s not easy from the start.”
Loki smiled bitterly.
“Hello, son you never had! Aren’t you filial enough to avenge your yellow father who died while dreaming?!”
As if trying to answer Loki’s mocking question, the snake rushed in.
─Quaaaaa!!!!
It was a disgusting snake, each of its scales made of hard eyeballs, even if it appeared in a dream, it would not be forgotten. Even the canine teeth in the wide open mouth were all eyeballs.
A huge whirlpool of darkness turned like muddy water, as if a building would fit where the eyes were supposed to be.
Sobek shouted with his reptilian eyes flashing.
“Jormungand!”
A stupid giant, the former ruler who developed his power by eating the corpse of Ymir.
In Ragnarok, the [Snake of the Middle Branch], Which was destroyed together with the thunder god Thor, rushed in as if trying to eat the light.
