Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 367
The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 367
“Is it a breakdown?”
The demon murmured as if it was extremely regrettable.
And at that moment, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed.
“… … Yes, it will be like this.”
Wise prepared for battle as if he knew this would happen from the beginning.
The same goes for Hekau.
The space around it is broken.
The surrounding scenery changes every second, and a storm of space blows unsteadily.
All space was distorted.
I couldn’t even tell what was the floor and what was the ceiling, and a distorted sight appeared that even a normal person could not bear to see.
and… … .
At the center of the twisted background stood the Demon God.
He still looked at me with an expression that he couldn’t understand.
“I will ask you one last time.”
“Tell me.”
“Why did you reject my offer?”
As if he couldn’t understand it, the demon asked me again.
“What was missing? Should I have given you something more? Or is there something I should have said? If you tell me what you want, I am willing to listen.”
“… … .”
“So speak. I already suggested you We are willing to bring peace to mankind, and we deserve your opinion… … .”
“apologize.”
He looked at me with an expression as if he couldn’t understand my words.
“Do you want me to apologize?”
“It was.”
But not now.
After saying this, the apology that pops out is meaningless.
“Then you should have asked me. Then I will tell you about him… … .”
“That means nothing.”
It’s a story that ended at the point of ‘I couldn’t think of’ in the first place.
All of the reasons I climbed far and wide, even writing down the river of regression, belong to him.
In other words, on the subject of being the perpetrator, he made an arbitrary offer to me, the victim, as if to patronize him.
if you wanted to understand
At least as a god, if he wanted to rationalize what he just said, he shouldn’t be like this.
At least you should have thought about it.
You have to do that to be a rookie.
And that’s how I can believe that the promise you made is sincere.
“But you didn’t do anything.”
“… … .”
“I made a lot of promises, but in the end, all of them were not fruitful. It would be just an excuse, not the truth. Let’s be honest.”
The guy didn’t answer.
A look that still doesn’t understand what I’m saying.
– Anyway, isn’t it okay to keep your promise? Why do you attach meaning to such trivial things?
A reaction that came about because he had never understood or tried to understand humanity.
nothing more, nothing less.
“Are you really going to suppress your emotions and protect humanity?”
“If you replace Asar, we can coordinate.”
“Ha tune?”
It’s ridiculous.
it’s coordination
“Is it impossible to do that with Asar?”
“I will not repeat the same mistakes. Tuning for that in the first place… … .”
“You yourself know best that that is impossible.”
One thing is clear.
Even if I completely lose my humanity and become a god, I will never agree with the devil.
That’s how it was in the first place.
If he accepts the demon’s proposal, another ‘Asar’ will eventually be born, and the vicious circle he tried to prevent will continue endlessly.
It doesn’t make any sense.
“You did not propose coexistence to me with some grand plan. It’s just scary.”
“… … .”
“That’s why you run away from a decision you made a long time ago. While making excuses to seek coexistence by becoming more merciful.”
There is no way that a true god would not know.
That’s why I say to him that he’s a god who unseemly runs away from loneliness.
“My humanity is worn out, but I still stand before you as a ‘human’. Harmageddon, the god of the end.”
I called the guy’s name straight.
for sure as of now.
Then, pointing the staff at him, he declared.
“Don’t use the same number and attack.”
“… … Right.”
He let out a sigh and looked at his trembling hand.
“Is it the same as back then?”
“… … .”
“Asar told me that too. That there is no point of agreement. You don’t want me to understand.”
Since when did this happen?
The guy muttered that and raised his strength.
Slowly, the ‘human’ form he had maintained began to crumble.
To the end, the human form was just the leather he was wearing for his convenience.
its original appearance.
thud.
The shadow itself that covers the world.
A ruin predicted to cover the world with darkness one day.
The bloody ruin I saw before returning was looking down at me.
[I understand.]
In the end, whatever happens will happen, no matter what he thinks.
【Keep in mind. I showed you a favor, and it was you, Mikhail, who rejected it… … ]
And with those words, I prepared for the final battle.
【To despair as much as you want.】
The shadow roared.
* * *
Up there.
The battle that took place beyond the sky had a significant impact on those below. The sky collapsed and the ground trembled violently.
The last remaining great devil, Enoch, trembled and looked up at the sky.
He was the most insignificant and lowly of the great devils, but ironically, Enoch was the last to exist… … .
「Uh huh… … flaw… … .」
Enoch’s laughter continued even as it slowly collapsed from the tail.
It seemed that he had lost his mind and seemed to be delighted with something.
“Finally he arose! No matter what you guys do, it’s meaningless now!
」
Herma looked at Enoch with a bewildered expression.
In the world, this great devil says bizarre things until the very end, as to whether or not there is such a thing as pride.
However, Enoch originally had no conscience and no pride.
I proudly expressed my opinion as the last remaining great devil.
“No matter what you mankind did to us, if he wins, everything will return!” “
… … .”
「We will reign as your eternal despair and destruction in endless reincarnations!
」
Aileen looked at such Enoch pathetically and shook her head.
Still, I thought I would go to the end to look like the great devil, but doing it is just a mental victory.
‘I should have gone to Gregory’s side. I suddenly regret it.’
After hearing it roughly, I heard that Lian’s side decorated it with a splendid victory like a battle in a myth, but what does this mean for her side?
It’s nice to win, but I’m not excited because my opponent is Enoch.
“Heh heh… … Do you think that even that cursed hero could be able to touch ‘God’? yes god… … .」
But isn’t that hero already roughly the same?
Enoch quietly opened his mouth as he thought about that without even realizing it.
What if he loses?
Just thinking about it is blasphemous, but really what if… … What if he loses to him?
‘Oh no. No way.’
Soon, Enoch took his heart.
Even at the moment of extinction, he was not afraid because he was sure of the demon god’s victory.
If so, you can resurrect.
just fall asleep for a while
But just as he was about to make up his mind, something terrible came into his mind.
The damn staff.
At that moment, his confident face was distorted.
“Oh no… … W I don’t want to die either. This is not it!」
Everyone around him looked at Enoch with a bewildered look at the sudden change.
Still, isn’t it the great devil?
They laughed at themselves until the end and thought they would go confidently, but what is this… … .
“Yeah, that hero! That warrior was the problem! If it wasn’t for that guy, I… … !」
As an excellent monarch, he must have scattered despair in this land.
But why!
Enoch struggled madly.
However, there was no way to prevent the planned extinction.
Eileen sighed and said.
“Goodbye Enoch.”
“I am Levia… … !」
Unfortunately, Enoch couldn’t finish even the last words.
The extinction was already so close that even the will could not be properly spit out.
and soon.
Crisp.
The last great demon disappeared with a clumsy sound.
* * *
[Mikhail.]
Slowly, the demon stretched out his hand.
At that moment, the star that was shining in the distance was sucked into his grasp and quickly condensed.
“… … oh crazy Write a star.”
Wise sighed as he watched the process unfolding in the hands of the Demon God.
“Now you know best, but it is not an exaggeration to say that since the Demon God has recovered most of his powers, he can do pretty much anything.”
“I guess so.”
Either dragging the star that shines far away and throwing it, or letting it fall as it is.
It’s not a trick like falling a meteorite through magic. Literally just sticking the star itself into the ground without any damage.
‘In the first place, it is meaningless to discuss common sense at this point.’
I too am too far away from that ‘common sense’ now.
Magic?
‘Did I really need to define it that way?’
Anyway, everything I do is magic.
Even the dragon saying that I can use magic the fastest at this point was slow for me now.
‘first.’
Stars blown by the Demon God just barely passed by my face.
I don’t know how the heck could that huge star pass by my face, but it felt so natural.
thud!
My feet hit the floor with a huge roar.
I endlessly destroyed the space that allowed me to exist as myself.
The drinker is huge.
In this place, in this situation, trying to deal with him in a normal way is literally suicidal.
“Mikhail.”
Then a voice came from the shoulder. In the meantime, the two who had come up were staring at me with tense expressions on their faces.
… … wait shoulder?
“Now you are expanding endlessly. Just as a demon covers the world with a shadow, you push it away with a corresponding light.”
“… … .”
“Don’t think of anything else now. Because the author is not a person who can win with a mindless state.”
“know.”
It’s the wear and tear of humanity, and now I have to think only about winning.
If you lose here, it’s over.
It’s not just me, everything I’ve done so far will become meaningless.
【Why are you so stubbornly holding onto something insignificant!】
The demon looked straight at me and shouted at me. The guy was really angry.
The fact that either way it wasn’t going to be the ending he wanted made him that way.
【Other roads must have been open!】
Whoops!
With those words, the Demon God’s fist gripped the space.
An eerie light poured through the ruptured space with a roar.
“Avoid Mikhail!”
As soon as I heard Hekau’s words, I moved reflexively.
At that moment, just thinking about it made my body jump. In an instant, I was right in front of the Demon God’s nose.
At that moment, the scenery passed by.
long past.
– Why do you want me… … !
Perhaps it is Asar’s memory.
The Demon God from the past was glaring at me with betrayal eyes.
no current?
Either way it doesn’t matter.
The past and present are a little confused.
Maybe it’s a side effect.
“It means nothing.”
I remembered the first beginning.
A world trampled by demons.
In fact, apart from that, the first tragedy was entirely my personal problem.
No devil worshipers intervened, and neither did the Prime Devil intervene.
My stupidity ruined the family. But that’s the past.
There were times when I felt guilty about him and withdrew, but now that time has passed.
The only thing left for me now is the purpose that I have built from before.
peace of mankind.
And the exclusion of those who hinder it.
To that end, the existence of the Demon God is nothing more or less than an obstacle.
“You’ve finally come this far.”
look like you’re going to fail
Just the thought of being hostile to the Demon God caught the giant Longinus in his hand.
Of course, the drunkard didn’t stay still either. He also shot it at me while holding a jet-black spear.
Attacks cross each other.
【Mikhail!】
The Demon God roared.
At that moment, a brilliant light embraced both of us at the same time.
space has changed.
Due to the battle of divine beings, all things were distorted.
At that moment, the demon’s appearance changed slightly. It was somewhat young and seemed a little immature.
【I hoped for an understanding person! That was all! That’s why I don’t want to kill you… … !]
Only then did he fully reveal his true feelings.
He was screaming in front of me. Even though he said he would cut it off just now, he still couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings.
I know.
He must have had a motive for doing that.
The source of the ancient disaster that hit the world is God’s solitude… … .
It could be.
Having come this far, I understand what he is thinking.
but.
“I could have done that anytime.”
you could do anything
I was just caught up in my arrogance as a god and chose the worst option.
so that.
“It ends here.”
I struggled to hold on to my fading resolve.
