Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 305

The Grand Mage who transcends by returning Chapter 305

… … round table.

Until the return, the Round Table was a space whose existence was simply confirmed through Thoth’s words.

In the first place, at that time, I couldn’t get a single proper sacred item, so it was natural, but anyway… … .

“This is your first time coming here.”

Thoth led me to the round table and told me.

Light was beating down on the round table.

And nine seats placed around the round table.

There were nine apostles sitting there, looking at me.

It’s the sight I’ve been dreaming of.

Soil that can dream of hope even if it is not perfect. The possibility of going against God.

Thoth naturally took a seat in the center as the administrator of the round table.

“Mikhail Walpurgis.”

“okay.”

“Well, whether you’re a hero or not, it doesn’t matter to us. In the first place, being a hero wasn’t even a concept that existed when we were apostles.”

more important than that.

“You are the master of the arrangement that Asar predicted.”

“… … .”

The boy spoke calmly.

“And the reason I called you here is simple. Just to make everything clear. I want to make it all clear. without hiding anything.”

“It’s something to hide… … .”

It seemed that he knew roughly what Thoth meant.

He hasn’t told the other apostles about my ‘return’ yet.

In the first place, he’s not so talkative as to reveal such things without my permission.

He just wants to reveal all the facts to the apostles right now with my mouth.

What will happen in the future will only happen when information is shared as much as possible between the two parties.

That’s a wise decision.

Besides, this place is not created to unilaterally release only my information.

I am also in a position to obtain information from the apostles.

In short, it is an equal exchange.

Then I will have to speak with my own mouth. yes that’s right

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

Along with that thought, I put words in my mouth that seemed to have been said a lot recently.

“I am a regressor.”

* * *

“… … That’s how it happened.”

Talking about what happened before the return is not very pleasant.

It’s a story of failure over and over again. A story that ended in tragedy, unrewarded.

But I had to tell you.

In any case, those who will definitely believe me now that they’ve come this far should know about regression.

That side is more advantageous.

I told the apostles in quite detail what had happened before the return.

How they were defeated, how overwhelming the majesty of the Demon God at that time was… … .

The apostles listened in silence.

Without taking his eyes off me, as if he wouldn’t miss a single word of what I’m saying.

And the moment the story ended, there was an uncomfortable silence between the apostles.

“… … It’s really just over.”

Apophis muttered that with a helpless expression.

“Are you saying that no one passed the ordeal without even getting a chance? At least Thoth had an encounter with you… … .”

“That’s right.”

“Should I say it’s fortunate that Tot made a prediction and then took action… … heh heh heh… … .”

It’s obvious, but it must be a dream from the listener’s point of view.

At best, none of Asar’s arrangements have been properly used, and mankind has been pushed back without doing anything properly.

But then Nephthys lowered her head with a dark expression.

“… … I’m sorry.”

“… … .”

As a result, she made a great contribution to making Count Draculion an immortal monster.

Before returning, no one could prevent him from degenerating into an immortal monster.

I didn’t even realize

“It is in the past. I wouldn’t say it’s not your fault, but it doesn’t make any sense to consider it now.”

“… … .”

For now, Draculion stopped it.

Of course, it’s true that her poor choices led to a tragedy that didn’t have to happen, but… … .

The current situation is not comfortable enough to take responsibility for it.

“For now, judging from what you said, it could be said that he had almost regained control of the world. No matter what I did, there was nothing I could do unless I was in a ‘similar rank’.”

Anubis continued speaking slowly, frowning.

“On the contrary, it is miraculous that I somehow went back in time through regression. It’s not just miraculous in terms of ‘going back in time’. The important thing is that we went back in time to avoid his awareness.”

“I know that.”

“By the way, if you didn’t go around diligently, that would have happened. hmm maybe this… … .”

It was Root who muttered this time.

He crossed his arms, thought hard, then said.

“… … If you think so, is there a possibility that you were an inevitable existence that Asar arranged in the first place?”

“At first, Asar just said ‘I hope’.”

“Hmm, yes. that’s it… … .”

At that time, Root, who had been nodding while listening to my words, suddenly tilted his head.

“… … wait a minute what are you talking about How could you listen to Asar?”

“I tried to recreate it, but I had a conversation with something similar to his remnants. My awareness of my godhood is also thanks to him.”

“… … .”

At that moment, except for the twins and Set, all the apostles looked at me with their mouths open.

For that moment, it was as if I had even forgotten that I had regressed.

Even Thoth stammered, looking rather flustered.

“Uh when… … ?”

“When the trials of the twins take place? Of course, it’s not ‘real’ to the end, but it’s like a kind of remnant… … .”

“No no, it’s not that kind of problem, is it that there were traces of him? then… … !”

“It was a temporary phenomenon in the first place. It wasn’t going to be long.”

I answered firmly.

“I didn’t want him to last long in the first place. Those of you who have served him for a long time will understand why better than anyone else.”

“… … Uhm.”

At the word Asar, the overheated atmosphere cooled in an instant.

I didn’t feel any jealousy about meeting Asar.

just accept

“… … After all, he never broke a decision he made.”

“It is as you say. Aren’t you the one who has already chosen your own mortality? Even if it’s a remnant… … I have no choice but to make the same choice.”

Apophis let out a small sigh and nodded.

Should we really call them apostles?

Understanding is like a knife.

When the atmosphere calmed down, I decided to get back to the main topic.

“Anyway, after being smashed once like that, I came back. It was not difficult to eliminate various problems and prepare because it was after obtaining a lot of information through Tot.”

“… … Surely hearing that clearly explains everything you’ve seen so far.”

At the end of Root’s muttering, a moment of silence passed between the apostles.

Of course, it doesn’t matter.

“Well then… … .”

now it’s my turn

“Now it is my turn to listen.”

There is nothing more interesting than an old story.

* * *

God remembers.

A long time ago, this world was so beautiful and satisfying.

The other companions were also satisfied.

The creature worshiped God and did not even suspect anything.

So did the faith of the creatures bring them to ruin?

no that’s not it

The world was at peace.

Those who did wrong were punished, and those who were right were rewarded.

The land was rich and the world was full of respect and love.

Absolutely perfect order.

It must have been a perfect world that did not need further improvement.

Surely everyone would have said that it was.

And didn’t you also say that at first?

That this is enough.

But at some point, I started a puppet show that wasn’t even funny by collecting creatures and calling them apostles.

you.

It was because he realized how great the truth was.

Everyone is laughing.

Wouldn’t the country have affection for them?

I felt the satisfaction of seeing them believe and follow and be happy.

But you… … .

He said it was wrong and moved on his own.

In an instant, the most ideal world collapsed.

Order is broken.

All human beings ceased to follow God.

no, it was good

Regardless of what the creatures think, it doesn’t matter.

In the first place, they couldn’t be compared to the creator himself.

But why did you give up?

Why did we give up immortality, which is our privilege and duty, and choose to perish like them?

okay.

“That shouldn’t be the case.”

With a small murmur, Shin opened his eyes.

The land filled with the bright red blood of the creatures is nice to see.

I once felt affection.

However, after going through many things, that affection cooled.

No, rather, it came back with fierce hatred.

“Dear God, are you awake?”

Then his gaze turned to the devil, bowing his head in a respectful manner.

The great demon that descended this time.

「How much did you clean?」

“There is no life in the area anymore. Since enough sacrifices have been accumulated, it is believed that other monarchs can also be called.”

At that, Shin quietly nodded.

At one time, he too was called ‘Demon God’ or by a name other than ‘God’.

But at some point I didn’t write it.

Probably from when they broke up.

From the moment there are no more companions or enemies left.

he is. Nothing.

It became ‘drinking’.

“What happened to the remaining one?”

“Ah, that… … .”

At that moment, the Great Devil’s face frowned. An expression as if he had remembered something unpleasant.

He turned his head and said.

“Come out, blasphemous thing.”

“Uh uh uh… … .”

Shivering, ‘it’ struggled out of the darkness.

A member of Pandaemonium who infiltrated this land first.

The Prime Devil glared at it with disgusted eyes.

“I couldn’t even find my true name yet, and I thought I’d be babbling like that. Shouldn’t he have proved his worth by being a martyr instead?”

“I’m sorry… … .”

The great devil, now called ‘Enoch’, bowed his head as if he were a sinful monarch.

God looked down at Enoch.

He just reached out his hand, showing no emotion on his face.

“It doesn’t matter.”

At that moment, the darkness that flowed from his fingertips wrapped around Enoch tightly.

Wow!

A power that awakens even the ‘sin’ of the demon lord, the Great Devil, and makes me aware of my name.

“Go uh go… … ?!”

Enoch struggled in the storm with that immense power.

It didn’t last long.

By the time the storm died down and it was over… … .

The Great Devil was there.

The great demon emitting power incomparable to the previous one.

Shin looked down at Enoch with languid eyes and said,

“Is that enough?”

“Thank you, God!”

It screamed, banging its head on the floor.

The blessing of God felt throughout the whole body is clear.

I couldn’t believe that I would receive such a blessing from that Pandaemonium!

‘This is enough!’

Still, when I close my eyes, I think of the warrior who did not hesitate to beat himself like a dog and belittle him.

With this power, even that hero would not dare to disrespect himself!

And the great devil, who was guarding God’s side, did not hide his disgust when he saw him like that.

“Such a thing is called the Lord of Sin… … .”

Shin lowered his head and called the name of the one that showed no signs of standing up.

“Leviathan.”

“Yes, my God!”

「Prove your worth.」

At that, Enoch, or ‘Leviathan’, shouted again, banging his head with a heavy heart.

“I will prove it!”

Toward the god who gave him power without the slightest hesitation.

“It is not the strong who survive, but the survivor who is strong!”

“no… … .”

Hearing that, the Great Demon next to the Demon God silently cupped his forehead.

Are you saying that before God?

‘… … Should I kill him?’

You call that a monarch.

For some reason, it was the Great Devil that made me feel like I knew why Pandaemonium, which I had infiltrated first, was destroyed.

* * *

“… … Right.”

I heard many things from the apostles.

What happened in that mythical age, and how did the demon and Asar become hostile?

seemed to know

Why did Asar give up immortality and why was the demon so angry?

“I get it roughly.”

Why did Asar leave an ‘arrangement’ through the apostle and what did he ultimately hope for?

Ironically, there was only one thing the great god wished for.

end and beginning.

He wished that the Age of Gods would end with him… … .

I hoped for a new human era.
