Chapter 966 – Till Death Do Us Part (2)
A second later, the tip of a spear shining bright yellow aimed at my head.
─Patchut!!!!
I turn my head and dodge. If it hadn’t been foreknowledge, it would never have been avoided.
‘Warrant.’
It was something I had read in the notebook Veronica had left behind. The yellow golden spear blade receded quickly. The ‘Yellow King’ burst into laughter as he spread [Gerture]’S herbivore with his amazing spearmanship skills.
“Having the fate of killing the ‘lord of the deep’ in your hands, and being able to prevent this dreary future is fucking awesome! Nord becomes me! You, become my body!”
“Sir Palum is fighting, but he’s talking so fucking ferociously!”
“Doesn’t it count because of mirror treatment? Are you upset? Even so, you can’t win, can you? Haha! This is fun! Bastards who risked their lives and tried to fight while setting the mood must have lost their stomachs, hey!”
Dodging the attack, I noticed what this bastard was aiming for.
‘Like Loki, he intends to take away my name and existence itself.’
This bastard was thinking of transforming into me and playing tricks on fate.
‘That guy has already stolen Loki’s name in the Age of Gods, and has a history of overturning the fate of Loki, who should have died at the time of Ragnarok.’
It was my intention to repeat it this time.
If at that time he believed in his immortality and received an unfortunate fate instead, this time he coveted the fate of being a ‘Wolfhedin who slays the Lord of the Deep’.
The ‘yellow king’ who had uploaded his consciousness into my body was to follow my destiny and defeat the ‘lord of the deep sea’, becoming the Norse von Wolfheddin and living in reality.
Noticing this, I was furious as if my eyes were going to turn in anger.
“Your Majesty, this mother-in-law, is going to NTR my whole life?”
I can see why Loki hated him so much. Eating someone else’s life whole means taking away all of that person’s relationships and even their lives.
Even the feelings that the person you love send towards you!
“This blonde, tanned tentacle bastard. If you want to become an octopus sukhoe, don’t stop it.”
I exhaled a cold life. But before I could throw a spear at the bastard, the expression of the ‘yellow king’, who had been giggling and laughing, changed completely.
Chaaaaa-!!!!
A skein of thread that surrounded it in all directions like a spider’s web swarmed the space where it was. It was a thread that cut through dimensions, saying that he was an old ruler, and that if he got hit, even the tentacles attached to his crotch would be cut off.
“There is no reason in this world to fight that guy, senpai.”
Ralilura, who skillfully manipulated the thread and spewed out a much colder life force than I did, said.
“The destination is right in front of you. That ugly maggot monster’s real body must be sleeping in reality. The reason why he is making fun of his mouth is because he who died after losing once has no chance to interfere with the world if it is not now.”
“Keuuu, as expected, our Lalilura. Look at the good stuff.”
“Shut up. Senior, you just have to quickly escape this future so that neither I nor the older sisters are taken away, and kill that guy who is sleeping in reality.”
Larry Lura winked at her and shot her thoughts out.
-Did I tell you? In that realm, the time inside and outside is different. One minute inside is one hour outside.
She heard It was because of that that it took a month to escape even though it was a different world that was said to grant wishes, and that was nothing more than a scam.
I heard that one of the offspring of the stars was able to stop time for a moment, but the ‘lord of the deep sea’ who shared his power with them couldn’t do anything like that.
So we abandoned the method of entering the Otherworld directly without the knowledge of the old rulers.
Even if 3 minutes pass inside, the old rulers outside will notice my existence and cooperate to kill me.
However, because Elisabeth captured the ‘Whee King’ and we managed to come this far with our strength intact——one more possibility arose for us.
– Leave me alone. You’re old enough to run errands by yourself, right?
It is a possibility that I will use all my strength and end this simulation of the future with my authority while Ralilura guards the front of the other world.
It was possible if he exerted his saved authority and mana to the fullest.
“Five? That’s good. That’s a great idea. It feels like a commendation.”
The ‘Yellow King’ laughed and stood leisurely in front of the dimensional door.
“Even if Ralilura turns into a crispy whole roast, that bitch isn’t even real anyway, is it? Just… If our junior fails to turn off the time, you know?”
This is a strategy that requires Lalilura to endure for at least a few hours.
With my strength exhausted, I might have to fight against the ‘Yellow King’——perhaps even with the ‘Hwi King’ in a two-to-one ratio. In that case, it would be better for the two of them to kill the ‘Yellow King’ first.
The odds of winning are high, but failure is annihilation.
“But Sval, do you still have a choice for them? Then it’s no fun If it’s ‘me’, I shouldn’t give the enemy a chance to roll a great attack here.”
As he said, as if he had clearly penetrated our thoughts with his high understanding of humans, the ‘Yellow King’ swung his spear behind his back with a smile on his face.
I tried to foresee and prevent it, but it was already failing in the future. Suddenly, a strong wind shattered the spear I had thrown, and the ‘Yellow King’ achieved its goal.
Catchiing—!!!!
Gold ran into the other world created by the ‘Lord of the Deep’.
He had swung his spear and shattered the other world.
“Why? Weren’t you contemplating whether to go in or not? Then you have to make them want to go in. Until the world of chaos collapses, regardless of inside or outside… It should be about 9 minutes. Kya, my heart is all chewy.”
The world begins to crumble.
Even the ‘yellow king’ could not destroy the space itself created by the being of the same rank at once. Regardless of the characteristics of the space, the same 9-minute time limit was created.
The odds of killing the ‘yellow king’ in 9 minutes are too low.
That’s why the only chance left is to go inside alone.
“Hehe, how are you? If you don’t want me to eat Lalilura and chase after you anyway, you can’t let 9 hours pass by outside, can you? In the end, the conclusion is the same.”
The thought of the laughing ‘Yellow King’ was obvious.
No matter how good the head is, as long as the answer is this clear, there is nothing to do with each other. He had the confidence to overcome this dead race.
However, I have one more possibility left.
‘Veronica’s prophecies written in the notebook.’
In order to bring this back, I came to this world of chaos.
Because Veronica thought that the prophecies she left behind were highly likely to be forgotten when I returned to reality.
If you take this prophecy and give up, she can defeat the ‘Yellow King’ even if Lari Lula doesn’t die. The Eye of Odin also urged that choice, saying that killing him here would destroy the immortality of the old ruler.
If he dies, the power that the ‘Lord of the Deep’ can accompany him in a few years will also be cut.
However, if I do that, I will betray the will of Elizabeth and the survivors who gave their lives to me. If you say it’s not worth caring about because it’s fake, isn’t it the same for Rariru here?
“… …”
Time passes, and the time of choice comes.
Will I even risk the life of my beloved wife for the sake of better odds and a better future? Even if it’s just an illusion, can I cross the line that the original me shouldn’t cross?
‘Is this what you wanted to show me? Sigurd.’
The moment when I have to value reason more than my heart.
The future, which I have overcome by avoiding choice itself with my wisdom and power, will come against transcendent people like the old rulers?
Is that why I showed you this ruined world? While thinking so, I suddenly turned on my clairvoyance as if I was being guided by something.
It was an instantaneous decision. It was too late for me to find out why. Just when I thought it was an intuition to unintentionally unleash the power to see into the distance and observe the other world.
“—Ah.”
I noticed.
In the first place, since I fell into this world, I have never been alone.
Even when I was suffering from all sorts of hard and shit-like troubles and flat winds, there was someone by my side who would be with me through the hardships.
So we decided to help, help and love. Until this life is over.
Or even after you’ve done it.
“… I’ll be back, Lalilura.”
“Yes, senior.”
There was no hesitation in her response. As if she was trying to shake off even the remaining hesitation, she said as brightly as she did back then.
“I’ll be waiting for you? In the past from 9 years ago♡”
In an instant, my legs accelerated, creating a crater on the ground.
Even the “Yellow king” Could not immediately react to the speed of running while looking only forward. However, as if he didn’t mind, he smiled kindly and performed his magic.
“I guess Loki didn’t tell you? I also like betting and racing.”
The target is Lalilura. A sharp wind blew through the dimensional wall that Lari Lura had opened to protect her body.
【Wind of interstellar space】. It was the power to accelerate time to create a wind with a speed that surpasses light, and bestow the wind that was created on yourself or on a target you chose.
The authority of the ‘Yellow King’, who once stole his name from Loki and became friends with the god who guards the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard.
The power that made it possible to create a ‘golem faster than expected’ from a bet with ‘Woodgart Loki’ and to come and go to the nine worlds while imitating Loki.
That wind sometimes reaches the future faster than the ‘Lord of the Deep”s foreknowledge, and twists and jumps over dimensions.
By distorting time and space with the power of authority, the magic carried by Lalilura spread without hesitation.
The power of the ‘Yellow King’ is much more advantageous against Loki’s power.
In the interstellar space of the ‘yellow king’ who controls the wind, even Yu-hee-sin cannot set foot.
One of the few powers in all of the universe that can stand up to a prophet like me or the ‘Lord of the Deep’.
So Veronica prepared for this time.
Because preparing for the future is the role of a prophet.
─Kwaaaaang!!!!
The blade of wind blown by the ‘Yellow King’ was destroyed by a far more ignorant hammer.
It was the work of ‘her’ whom I had seen through my clairvoyance.
Just before jumping into the other world, I could see Lari Lura stopping with a bewildered expression ── the ‘Yellow King’, who half-opened her eyes and displayed wariness against the formidable enemy.
“… Odin?”
Involuntarily muttering for a moment, the ‘yellow king’ seemed to regain his composure, saying that there could be no such thing.
“… I made a mistake. Not only the gods of the World Tree, but even beings with immortality like us cannot survive true extinction. Only humans have the qualifications to twist fate like that.”
The old ruler, who forgot how to imitate a human being, seemed to have no idea to change the expression on his outer skin.
“Who are you? Name yourself, child of man.”
The intruder did not answer even at the lower gate of the ‘Yellow King’.
It has to be. In the midst of the fierce battle, he lost a limb, his throat was hoarse, and he also lost an eye. The collapsed body is the face of the dead who climbed up from death.
The mana exerted by that body has also changed to the point where you cannot recognize yourself.
Still, he replaced his injured body with a white metal that was heavier and harder than any other metal, and with one eye looking at the ‘yellow king’ from a position much higher than his own height.
In her face, I could find the woman I knew.
The half-dwarf who inherited Odin’s throne touched his own neck with the arm he replaced with his golem and spoke in a slightly improved voice.
“Francesca, Eitrinen.”
Eighteen runes rose from her back like knives.
