Chapter 570 – 570. The Witch of the Second Dimension (1)
Eunhyun came out to the living room holding Illyana, who had a serious expression on her face.
Because I understood her seriousness just by the questions she asked.
A heavy expression on her face that has kept her happy and smiling since her pregnancy.
Eun-hyeon said there was a possibility she heard this from Erin, who was soundly asleep between him and her, so she moved away.
“… What does that mean? Why?”
It was only after I came out to the table in the living room and put warm milk tea on it that Eunhyeon asked for more details.
“Another ‘you’?”
“Remember what you said before? It’s like, ‘Someone broke into my house.'”
Finally, Illyana confided her own story to her Eunhyeon.
“I remember.”
Eunhyun nodded her head as if she remembered.
When Eun-hyeon and Eleanor stayed at Illyana’s house to attend a party held at the royal palace in Pernin, the capital city, Eun-hyeon noticed her and she asked Illyana.
Traces of someone sneaking into Illyana’s house and staying for a long time.
It wasn’t that anything was missing, and since all of the valuables had been moved in the first place, there was nothing to lose.
In fact, there were only traces of living in this house.
But the fact itself was very unusual.
She is said to be retiring now, but Illyana is a high-ranking eight-figure wizard on the continent.
The level of barriers that she spread in the house where she lived in the past was no different from a strong security device that ordinary people could not enter without permission.
Therefore, breaking into Illyana’s house means that you are a wizard on the same level as or higher than Illyana, who has a level that can offset her barrier.
“It’s like ‘me’.”
To be precise, it means ‘another Illyana’, said Illyana.
“I didn’t cancel or destroy my barrier, and only ‘I’ can say that I passed through.”
“…”
Eunhyun was lost in thought.
She didn’t deny Illyana’s words.
Another ‘self’?
It just took a while to accept it, but it wasn’t a completely unfounded story.
“I also sent someone to the company that cleans my house regularly to check. I’m sure someone lived impersonating me. No. Since I am myself, the word impersonation wouldn’t be appropriate.”
Illyana didn’t respond and looked at Eun-hyeon, who was lost in her thoughts, and asked.
“My talk. Believe?”
“… You have to believe Whose word is it?”
It was said by none other than her, her own wife.
As it was not a statement without any grounds, a certain possibility came to Eunhyeon’s head.
“And I have a guess.”
“Guesswork?”
“I’m not sure either, but…”
“Berdandy.”
Eunhyeon immediately called her goddess.
It was an unexpected call, but Belldandi, who ran to his call and gave it to him, manifested in the underworld in a translucent spiritual body.
[Okay.]
“There is something I want to ask you.”
[What?]
“Is it possible for a person from another divergence in a different time period to come over here?”
[…]
Belldandi couldn’t answer right away.
[Why did you think that?]
With her eyes narrowed, Eunhyeon asked why she had such a thought.
“Because I thought of my case.”
[For children?]
“When I was being tested in the divine realm, I possessed another self through the key. Do you remember?”
[… I know.]
Belldandy nodded his head.
Soon he realized the intent of the question.
[Is the child thinking that the witch child is experiencing a child-like experience?]
“The result that happened is completely different, but I think it is the result of a case similar to mine.”
“… What are you talking about?”
Illyana does not know in detail the meaning of Eunhyun’s ordeal in the divine world.
Therefore, she had no choice but to briefly explain that she had undergone three trials in order to attain divine status.
If she explained all the experiences she had there that could have broken her soul, she would definitely be annoyed and worried, saying that she was overdoing it again.
When she begged Belldandy not to explain her details with her eyes, she couldn’t help but nod her head as the goddess smiled bitterly.
“‘Another me’. I have experienced that existence. Of course, I’ve never actually encountered it in this underworld.”
Hearing Illyana’s words, what Eunhyeon thought of was a certain future that her other self would reach.
Another Eun-hyeon who tried to protect the lower world by being given the title of ‘Sword Saint’ by practicing sword training for about 800 years alone without forming a relationship with anyone.
‘Eunhyeon’, who took over Shiete’s swordsmanship and accumulated her time, experience, and effort over and over again, and finally attained a state beyond her, is the man her Eunhyeon is aiming for in the field of swordsmanship.
In this world, there are various choices and various divergence points created by those choices.
Just as the current Eun-hyeon exists and other ‘Eun-hyeon’ exist.
Illyana had already confirmed through her own case that there would be another Illyana who would have had different experiences and events in a different time period.
But what about her in her case.
Is it really possible to go back and forth between the two worlds, blocked by a “Parallel line”?
Eun-hyeon also summoned the memories of the future ‘Sword Saint Eun-hyeon’ that exists in many parallel worlds and possessed her body, but she had never actually met him.
So, Eunhyeon asked Belldandy.
“Is there any possibility that another Illyana from the ‘parallel world’ came over here?”
The goddess she worships, Belldandi, is a goddess who can see fragments of her destiny.
If it was Belldandi who could foresee Illyana’s fate, Eunhyun thought that maybe she could give an answer to this assumption.
[…]
But, only staring at Illyana’s face, Belldandi didn’t answer right away.
She pondered the possibility of being a goddess as well, and came up with her answer after much thought.
[… I don’t know.]
“Yes?”
“Uh?”
Belldandi’s answer was neither affirmative nor negative, but an uncertain answer, “I don’t know.”
[In general, it is absolutely impossible. But…]
It is natural that the two worlds, divided by different choices at a divergence point, cannot interfere with each other.
Even so, Belldandy was hesitant to put into words the one ominous thought that had come to his mind.
Eunhyeon asked after seeing Belldandy’s attitude narrowing his forehead as if he didn’t like it.
“Berdandy? Please tell me what you are thinking.”
[… When I attacked the world tree before, I am very concerned about the ‘dimensional door’ that was created at that time.]
“That…”
Eun-hyeon immediately remembered a woman he had killed.
-Devil.
Even as her limbs were being crushed and her head collapsed from being pierced by Brunak, she looked at herself and sent her eyes of sympathy.
When she thought of Renat, who synthesized dragon tissue into her own body and became a chimera-like mutant dragon, Eun-hyeon frowned.
And she once read a fragment of her memory that Eun-hyeon had torn apart from her soul, leaving only her head as her body disintegrated.
– Do you need strength?
-I’ll give you a special ability.
-With this, create a passage that connects the gap between dimensions.
– No matter how many lives are sacrificed, no matter what the cost.
At that time, it was impossible to read the proper memories from Renat’s torn soul, so that was the limit.
And when she first met Renat, she thought she was also Mediah’s henchman because she was working with Marius. If it existed.
“… No way.”
If we assume that she is also an existence from another parallel world, which is a different dimension, then her real purpose is not to summon demons or witches, but to summon other beings.
[Child too… You seem to have realized something.]
Although she lost the battle, she realized the true purpose of Renat, the dragon who died calmly, satisfied that she had achieved her goal.
And she knows who came through the door to that dimension and hasn’t shown up until now.
◆ ◆ ◆
The interior of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Rendir was very quiet.
Normally, it was normal for a large number of nobles and servants to do business, and many people had to run around and run around the palace busily.
However, the palace of the already ruined country was filled with cruel silence.
The royal knights and court wizards who guard the palace, as well as all troops capable of combat, are executed, and no one sits on a throne that no one looks up to, no position, no honor, no power.
It just shows off the overwhelming force that destroyed this country.
Sitting on the throne, Ray Nann raised the mana that filled her body.
“… Not bad.”
Defeated once by Gerard, who had been her god sign, Belphegor took over her own body and barely escaped, and she barely recovered her body.
“… Is he still alive?”
As Raynan became the thunderlight itself, burning her body and her life, she remembered Gerard who stood in her way.
On the way, when he lost consciousness due to Gerard’s thunderbolt, Belphegor, who took control of his body and escaped, said that Gerard was mortally wounded and would have died if he had left it alone, but speculated that he would probably be alive.
It was Belphegor’s private hatred wish that she would surely tear it apart with her own hands, but Raynan agreed that Gerard would be alive.
Even though he was the man who almost killed himself, his desire to keep him alive is a bit different from Belphegor’s hatred.
Could it be because of the memories and affection of her former colleague?
“I thought I threw it all away.”
That’s why we decided to kill each other and cut off each other’s lives.
But now I couldn’t stop.
“When do you plan to start planning?”
As she alone raised her demonic powers and lost her thoughts, a woman came into her spacious throne room and spoke to Ray Nann.
The succubus demon with red goat’s horns on his head had the rare human Ray Nann as his superior.
Unlike demons, who basically tend to look down on and ignore inferior humans, she has a special affinity for Raynan.
“As soon as Marius is ready, hit the entire continent.”
It wasn’t long before that moment arrived.
“Ha… I look forward to it.”
The succubus devil, eagerly waiting for that day to come, twisted his whole body as if he was desperately enduring the delicious ripening of the fruit.
“Lord Raynan… Please tell me tonight too…”
The moment she tried to seduce Raynan in order to somehow relieve this urge that fills her heart.
Ugh
A wave of powerful magical power arose and vibrated the air inside the palace.
“… !”
The trembling of dense magic that filled the palace instantly made the succubus’ whole body goosebumps and made Raynon immediately take a combat posture.
[Eight Digit Higher Magic]
[Teleport]
Before long, someone appeared from above the magic circle drawn on the floor of the palace.
“Who… !”
“For a moment.”
Seeing the imposing intruder, the succubus opened her eyes and tried to harm the revealed sorceress, but Raynan immediately stopped the succubus.
“You…”
Soon after, Ray Nann met the wizard’s eyes and gave her a surprised expression with her eyes wide open.
“Long time no see. Raynan.”
“… Illyana.”
Why is she here
Ray Nann did not loose her battle stance and watched her sorceress on guard.
I couldn’t figure out her detailed information, but I do know that Illyana married him at the same time as her Eun-hyeon’s resurrection, and she is now living in seclusion.
So she was very confused.
‘Is Illyana betraying Eunhyun? It can’t be.’
It is impossible.
If that’s the case, if she asks, ‘Is Illyana in front of her an enemy?’, That’s also wrong.
She seemed completely unwilling to fight even with herself in her battle stance.
“I am not the Illyana you know.”
“… What do you mean?”
“I came because I thought we could help each other. What do you think?”
Her own goal is the annihilation of all humans who set foot on this continent.
I didn’t even have to ask what her Illyana’s goal would be, I could imagine her roughly.
“… Is Eun-hyeon the goal?”
“That’s right. I am… I’m here to take Hyun. But to take Hyuni here… I think I need to get rid of ‘me’ first.”
The witch readily admitted that it was impossible for her alone.
“It doesn’t matter what happens to the other humans besides Hyun. I’ll even help wipe out this entire continent. Therefore… How is it?”
The witch from another dimension suggested another disaster.
