Chapter 994 – Deep Falling (7)
***
I stopped as I ran to where the ‘Lord of the Deep’ was hiding.
“Hmm.”
When we arrived riding the turbulent flow of the dimension as if surfing, the space like the Milky Way, where the sky and the ground were separated, was open.
The stars lost their power and fell to the ground, decorating the land like galaxies floating only on the surface of the sea, and in the sky where all the stars fell, a blue and green universe unfolded.
Holding the bruenak, I smiled cynically.
“You’re a very celestial and childless child.”
Isn’t it a scene that seems to say that only you are dignified in this universe?
The cradle of the ‘Lord of the Deep’ reflected in my eyes was a lonely universe that trampled on the stars that had lost their light and reigned.
All the constellations of the universe that mankind looks up to and the gods are proud of are put at their feet like junk.
If this is the image of the inner world of the ‘lord of the deep sea’, what kind of place is the world seen by that space octopus?
A god of madness with the power to foresee the future.
Everything in the world is trivial, boring, and meaningless.
That appreciation is close to re-watching a boring black-and-white movie hundreds of times.
To a mighty prophet, living in the present today may be like a shit game without a skip function.
Otherwise, it’s a cliché chunky third-rate movie that you know all about, and you get bored before you even watch it.
Maybe that’s why. There are no shining stars in this universe.
It is a counter-evidence that among the things that the ‘lord of the deep’ possesses, there is nothing that the octopus considers valuable.
That fact comes more frightening than clumsy madness.
I clicked my tongue at the unpleasant feeling that ran up my spine.
“It’s pretty much what you know.”
To the ‘lord of the deep sea’, the rise and fall of the universe would be meaningless.
I have never played a game or movie series that I have never played and have no interest in. Whether it perishes or revives, it will be overlooked with a sidelong glance.
Nine out of ten, the bitch would have no interest in her own life or death.
This sea of stars is full of futility and indifference to the point of disgust.
It is empty like the end of the universe predicted by mankind and the end of entropy.
However, there are basically no ranks and concentrations in the likes and dislikes of creatures. Even the stray cats that ate rotten food in the back alleys might have a favorite food.
Then, by any chance, is there something longing for the bitch, who is so indifferent to everything in the universe?
There will be. There is no reason to live without it.
To a nihilist, living is pain, nothing more, nothing less.
Even such a boring and futile time has a different meaning if you treat it as a time waiting for a star to decorate the sky.
Enduring the futility brought by the empty sky, waiting for something more precious than all things in the universe.
Hit. The sea of stars surrounding my head is not empty.
That sky would be a jewel box waiting for the one and only first-class star to be filled with care, and now it would be the stage to welcome the prologue.
Either that, or the wedding road she dreams of.
Pee-pee-.
The stars rolling around like rubbish were lined up and pointed the way for me to go.
A whisper that seemed to come here disturbed my ears. Although I frowned, I followed the instructions for now.
Sabaks, Sabaks…
Stepping on the stars was like stepping barefoot on sand flowing from a broken hourglass. Stars that have fallen over time draw sand art as if playing old video clips.
A man with black ponytails in a white coat grunted.
“Professor. Does the tea you drink next to your hard-working husband taste like honey?”
“Of course it tastes like honey, you bastard. The husband who gave birth to a child during the Cheonik Award project of a lifetime is struggling. Do you want to do karma, Kitai Slave Shack.”
“It is a safe day! It’s a safe day!”
Her pregnant wife and her husband scratching her head beside her.
But compared to the man who turned her back and couldn’t see her, the woman couldn’t see her face at all like a picture torn up with a pen.
Although my back was turned, I was definitely the man the starlight drew.
However, there was only a woman with curly purple hair beside such a man.
I was struck by the speculation that this might be the future when I did not leave the University of Carmine and continued to pursue my degree and research.
It was probably the one future that the ‘Lord of the Deep’ foresaw, and possibly could have happened.
Let’s move forward a little further, and the starlight draws again.
“Master. The meeting has been scheduled, but what can we do?”
“I have to go. It’s hard to stand tall in human society with Atlantis alone. I’m going to do everything in my power to build a nation like the dwarves. Name is… Shall we go to New Asgard?”
“… We will consult with each other and propose. Master, don’t think about naming it.”
“A very god is a decoration, a decoration.”
In a certain future, he served as the guide to the cursed gods, ruling over them and becoming a god in the present world who was revered by people.
“Aha♡ What if I keep playing and eating like this and my body gets rusty?”
“I will oil you. Money and power replace hard work. If you want to perform, you can occasionally hit publicity and go to amusement parks or concert halls in each country.”
“Kyaaa♡! OK, let’s do it! Fighting until the day I can say to my child that your mother is the most famous and beloved beautiful girl in the world!”
In another future, he became an aristocrat and businessman with a global influence, grabbing power and the citizenry with a novel media industry and press.
“Whoops. You should stop coughing, Your Majesty. Your empress came to visit?”
“… Good morning. Did the sun rise in the west? Now that the old Kitai slave has become the emperor of a new empire, the sun will soon be peeking out from the west.”
“Oh my goodness? Did you hear that the romance between the poor princess who was kicked out by the evil god emperor and the emperor who was a war slave is very popular in the streets?”
“Then the arrow should have hit me in the knee. Then I would have gone to the rear and served as a guard for the rest of my life.”
“… Hmm. It seems that you want to make meeting me at the clinic an unprecedented event, Your Majesty.”
“Oh.”
In another future, he reigned as the overlord of the Western Continent who took hegemony in the war and uncovered the secrets of the imperial family.
“Master. Can we train together tonight?”
“… Training? It’s not about night training, is it?”
“… I’ll do both. Worship for two… Let’s do it?”
“The name saintess will make you cry.”
“Don’t cry. Childbirth is a sacred thing.”
“The process leading up to childbirth is not very sacred… Oh It was such a religion, indeed. No matter how you become a religious leader, you always forget.”
In another future, as a world-class adventurer and hero of a desert nation suffering from warlocks and drought, he was recognized by the hunting god and became the head of the Church of Hathor.
Possible futures similar to, or perhaps even more than, abandoned stars!
All those IFs had two or three things in common.
The first is that there will always be only one woman by my side in that future.
The second is that their faces are all smudged, as if someone ripped them off with a pen.
Lastly, the third point was that it was all the future that I decided to settle down in the 【middle branch】.
“What’s up?”
I kicked off the blurry image that suddenly caught my eye–the illusion of a dark warrior walking in the meadow accompanied by a blonde goddess wearing winged armor and a gray-haired wizard holding a spear.
For reference, this was the most unpleasant picture for me. I passed my bangs.
“It’s a divination at the level of a delusion that can’t even be predicted.”
Depending on the person, it may look like a flower point.
It is a number of petals that a girl who misses the man she loves plucks and plucks her flowers and piles them up. I kicked away the discarded petals.
“I like it, I hate it, I like it, I hate it… “
I stepped on it, kicked it, rubbed it and erased it.
“I hate it, I like it, I hate it, I like it… “
I stopped at the southern end of the Sea of Stars as I stepped on the traces of the flower dots.
If I knew how it was the end, it was because the darkness spread beneath it. Like a person who blindly believes in the flat earth theory, he seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts.
Kwakdeuk… !
I clenched my fists and tried to destroy the concealed space of the shelter, but the dimensional curtain peeled off in front of me as I tried to do so.
The sea of stars opened up.
It was a scene reminiscent of a bride pulling the veil off her bed and inviting her into the bedroom. I feel like I want to turn my heels 180 degrees and go home.
It’s a shame that it can’t be done.
If this is part of a mental attack, wouldn’t it be a bitch with excellent resourcefulness?
“Tsubeol.”
I went inside, swearing thickly at the creepy feeling of shyness.
Oh oh oh…
It was an audience room that seemed to imitate human sensibility and culture forcibly. Through the glass wall behind the throne reminiscent of an aquarium, the depth of the unfathomable deep sea spread out.
There was ‘that’ in that deep sea palace.
The six ugly eyes were embedded like jewels in a face that looked like a mixture of an octopus and a skull, and the light was dimly extinguished. The wings that seem to cover an island are bent like a vinyl house hit by wind and rain.
The bundle of cephalopod tentacles that grew out of his chin like a wise man’s beard shrank like a vine in a fire. The limbs, which were strong and strong, still pulsated in the veins, suggesting the vitality of life.
But even so, it was clearly a corpse.
It was the corpse of the old ruler, who had died brutally.
It’s just that there was a much less eye-catching figure in front of the corpse that, even after death, caused fear and chills in a person’s skin. She was a girl who turned her back on the old ruler whose eyes had lost light.
She was short and like a little girl, but her body was bewitching.
A black-haired girl who revealed her naked body without even thinking about hiding her voluptuous breasts and wet hips! Her long hair dragged to the ground as if she had never cut her hair in her life.
‘The Lord of the Deep’ opened her arms.
“Come on. You’ve waited a long time, Nor.”
The emerald green eyes blinked lovingly.
