Chapter 572 – 53. Udust
+++
– I finally found it. It was a long journey.
Upon entering Udust, Aran heard a strange sound.
A hollow yet insipid voice that goes well with the all-white space. Aran thought that this was the main body of Udust or the thought that dwelled in it.
“Are you talking?… What did you find?”
– The significance of my existence and a link that will lead to future generations.
“Explain so I can understand what you’re talking about.”
– … Can’t you understand even this simple word? I thought it wasn’t bad when I jumped in myself, but it’s not.
Alan felt bad.
To think that a being about to be absorbed ignores its owner. Could this be some kind of hypocrisy?
– Well, it doesn’t matter. Because this is the reason for my existence.
“… Hey, are you that ‘Udust’ guy?”
– It’s not even called that.
“I heard you destroyed civilizations. Were you trying to find me?”
– Those who were born with the destiny of the universe will inevitably release enormous energy. Enough to be detected from a distance. If you follow it, that’s how it happens. It wasn’t really intentional.
“The predator that ate so many civilizations… You’re being absorbed by me now Any complaints about him?”
– If you were going to be dissatisfied, you wouldn’t have come in the first place.
Aran felt a trivial void.
The expressions Rose and Clara made when mentioning ‘Udust’, and the reactions they showed when Udust arrived today.
All of them were memorable for a long time, but the person who carved the deep fear was also a being bound by fate.
– Your complexion doesn’t seem to be clear.
“It just lost steam. I feel this way too, Roses… So, how futile it would be if the survivors of the civilization eaten by you knew this.”
– In vain?
“The whole civilization was wiped out meaninglessly. If you step on an ant and kill it, wouldn’t it be futile from the ant’s point of view? I didn’t kill him because I was trying to kill him, I was just passing by and he died… I mean, it didn’t make any sense. If this is not futile, what is futile?”
– It is originally like that.
“Okay?”
Aran narrowed her eyes.
Although the content is a bit strange, the main body of Udust, who doesn’t even know where it is, was surprisingly able to have a proper conversation.
Perhaps she is also a kind of divine being like the goddesses of Olympus.
– If a planet lasts for a long time, it may be completely destroyed by various factors. This also just happens, is it futile?
“It doesn’t feel that way at all.”
– That is the phenomenon as it is, and the objective evaluation accordingly. The reason why downfall feels futile is because you attach too much meaning to it.
“….”
– A flourishing civilization collapses in an instant due to a disaster, or a planet that has existed for billions of years is destroyed by a disaster. Both are natural phenomena. There is no room for futility to intervene.
Aran scratched her head.
Actually, he had no idea.
“But are you really good at talking? Are you a god too?”
– Not. My role is to assist the universe.
“Still, I’m conscious enough to even have a conversation like this. Could it have a different meaning or role? If that’s not the case, there’s no reason to give them the ability to speak, right?”
– There is no ‘meaning’ or ‘why’ in nature. That’s what you guys give after the fact. If this body breaks down right away, that’s just how it was. So it is natural.
“Okay….”
Alan nodded slowly.
I thought I could have a conversation with Udust, so I tried to mix it up, but it was an interesting conversation, but I couldn’t say it was very good.
I’d say it’s something too pessimistic. You can say that it can’t be helped because it’s not a living thing, but it feels awkward.
“Anyway, you don’t have regrets? I’m glad. It would be embarrassing if the person being absorbed had lingering feelings for this world or asked to be saved.”
Aran opened her arms.
“Now, is it absorbed? Do your will Actually, I don’t have a lot of time.”
– Already doing it.
“Can’t you feel anything?”
Just in case, she channeled her divine power and observed her body her, but there was no perceptible change.
Exactly the same as before entering Udust. Eudust’s power is enormous enough to lift an entire planet, but I can’t feel anything like this. Is absorption really taking place?
– You can recognize when everything is done.
“Okay…? How long does it take?”
– At this speed… It will take about a week.
“What?”
It’s a week.
Entrusting the earth to the goddesses is only a temporary measure. If this is the case for a week… Inevitably, the continent has no choice but to collapse.
“Too slow! What a week You won’t last even an hour!”
– If you’re talking about the ground, that’s for sure.
“If you know, do it sooner.”
– That’s impossible.
“No, no!!”
There are countless people on earth.
I don’t particularly sympathize with them, but there are a lot of his women among them, as well as a bunch of beauties he hasn’t had yet.
I can never let them die.
“Hey, nameless fairy, did I say that it is everywhere and not everywhere? Come here.”
He called a fairy that claims to be the main body of the universe and the main body of the earth. If what she said so far is true, she will definitely be able to appear in this.
Indeed, as he said—
“Oh really. Didn’t I say I was your mother? I am arrogant to the end in case someone is not ungrateful.”
She appeared in this white space.
It must have been inside of Udust. Seeing her come and go even in her own place, I finally began to believe what she said about the body of the universe.
“It takes a week for him to absorb it. Considering the various things, try to finish it within 10 minutes.”
“… It’s ridiculous. What takes a week to do in 10 minutes? You have to go through an audit at the Consumer Protection Agency to come to your senses.”
“Do something. Everyone dies like this.”
“You think. Aren’t you Lord?”
“I mean that….”
It was Aran who was barely holding on that Udust was raising the continent.
But you want me to finish absorbing that udust in 10 minutes on my own?
I thought that was nonsense.
“Then let’s all go after each other. Oh, since you’re not looking, you’ll be left alone. Don’t look at me slyly or look at me because I’m lonely. Because there is no soup.”
Aran seriously hardened her face.
Even though she says it in such a playful way, she is a helping woman when it comes to helping. Wouldn’t that mean that she really has no way to say this?
“No… You obviously said it wasn’t a big deal! You said that it would all be over when you come back quickly!”
“It was. That is also true.”
“How is this not a big deal?”
“Ha.”
She let out her sigh.
“Because I need to know what I’m really not thinking about.”
“What?”
“Think smart.”
Alan grabbed her by the shoulder. She seemed to sense hope in the way she spoke.
“You…Do you know how?”
“There is no way… Why can’t you think?”
“No, just tell me! Do it! Mom!!”
“Hee! What a creepy mother!”
She backed off with her.
“… That you are my mother Isn’t it too much to be creepy?”
“What the hell are you talking about, a filial son of fire attribute who is usually shy but only mothers when he needs it?”
“Then, haven’t you been cheating on me and taking advantage of me? Rather, you are worse!”
“For fear of someone not being ungrateful, I completely forgot all the favors I had given them. Whew. I didn’t even expect it. Damn you.”
“Anyway! You said you were also the main body of the Earth! Is it okay if the Earth is destroyed like this?”
“….”
A cold gaze reached Aran.
She seemed genuinely pitiful.
“Hey~ Mr. Eudust~?”
– What.
“My poor son said he wants to protect the earth.”
-Then keep it.
“I thought I couldn’t do it because you were here~? I guess I’m running out of power.”
– Then you can’t keep it.
“By the way, is there a reason why absorption must be done here? Alan is here anyway. Let’s go to a place with a nice view.”
-Move?
“Like the star system next door.”
– It’s not difficult.
Udust simply affirmed.
Simple enough to want to be like this.
“… Yes?”
“What is ‘huh?’? How are you?”
“Move…Do you?”
“Udust flew from far away in space, so of course it is possible to move somewhere in space. Then naturally the earth will be safe. Are you ill? I thought you were stupid.”
“….”
No… Of course, that’s true, but…
“Are you absorbing? Were you able to move during absorption?”
“Why not? It has so much power that it takes a week to simply absorb it, and that power is more than enough to move. Are you really sick?”
“… Stop being such an asshole.”
Aran sighed and wiped his face.
After all, Earth is in a safe shape.
“Then… Absorbing power for a week somewhere in the universe….”
“Yes. And you can’t have sex for a week. Ah, something refreshing~.”
“….”
A-ran seriously contemplated whether it was okay to commit an immorality of putting her honey chestnut on the head of a fairy (self-proclaimed mother of A-ran).
