Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 369
The Grand Mage who transcends by returning Chapter 369
This is a landscape in my memory.
family garden.
This place was neat and beautiful at the same time because my mother took care of it herself. The garden has always been a place of rest and home for me.
It was like that even after my mother died. I often shed tears here alone.
It must have been that space.
“Even though it’s complicated, it doesn’t feel like longing or tears,
right?”
In a daze, he answered like that, forgetting that he was fighting a demon god right up until the moment.
Emotions are too neutral.
If it were me, I wouldn’t have considered this kind of landscape simply as ‘complicated’.
For me, mother means family.
But what about now?
All of that feels far too far away.
How feeble are these emotions in the eons of time in which I will exist.
In the end, you will lose it.
Wasn’t it only about 10 years of those eons of time?
It may feel subdued, but in the end, that’s just about it.
「It feels a bit young, doesn’t it?」
“It is dirty. More than you think.”
“Yes, it will be dirty. But that’s the price we have to pay. It’s unfortunate.”
“… … .”
Why is the demon so twisted?
It’s nothing strange if you’ve been struggling with a sense of loneliness in this mood for eons of time.
Emotions fade.
No, to be precise, would it be correct to say that there is no ‘equivalent existence’ enough to clearly feel emotions?
Absolutely no stimulation whatsoever.
It would be better if it existed like a machine without emotion, but God did not.
Strictly speaking, the Demon God was more emotional than Asar.
“Remember here?”
“I can’t remember.”
Even if the emotions fade, the memories are still there.
“I remember. Mother was always here. My mother was always there when I went to the garden, so naturally the garden became my playground.” “That’s
right. ”
It is a space that has a special meaning to me, but at the same time, it was also a shackle in a way.”
I remembered that time for a while.
However, I don’t feel the slightest emotion that I would have felt originally.
It’s not that there are no emotions.
However, when it comes to humanity, the human ‘Mikhail’ is vague.
I asked ‘my’ for a while as those miscellaneous thoughts cluttered my head.
“Am I defeated?”
Is this the afterlife?
It’s a ridiculous guess, but I thought that way without knowing it.
It might have been that he was a little distracted from somehow defending against the Demon God’s attack.
“no? not fine Of course, it’s hard to say it’s a good situation… … .」
‘I’ replied and snapped her fingers once.
An illusion of right angles unfolded in front of me.
“… … Are you getting hit?”
On the screen, I was busy defending against the demon’s attack. It’s a counterattack and I can’t even think of anything.
“Ah, that’s a good deal.”
“Hmm.”
「To put it bluntly, the answer has already been given as to which one is stronger, Harmageddon, who has existed as a god for eons of time, or “I,” who has not fully become a god?」 That’s right
. Here’s the answer.
fuck.
“I’ll turn, really.”
I charged with ambition, but I’m losing face when I’m being overwhelmed like that. It’s kind of a final showdown.
I said it like I was proud, but what kind of disgrace is it when I get beaten up like that?
I was scratching my head because it was absurd, and ‘me’ started giggling.
“Then, here is the problem.”
“… … hmm?”
“Who am I?”
The thought did not last long.
Considering that that is ‘me’ and that I am the one who feels the emotion relatively.
“godhead.”
The answer is simpler than you think.
“It’s a godhead I grew up with.”
[Correct answer.]
‘Me’ in my words.
No, the godhead laughed.
* * *
“It’s been a while.”
“Is that so?”
“To be specific, from the time you tried that immature magic as a time return?”
“… … .”
It’s an immature magic.
I thought it was my best. And it wasn’t that it didn’t work.
Of course it wasn’t perfect.
My godhead was giggling at what was so funny.
“Pu heh, that’s right. I don’t think magic with such a low success rate is ‘correct’.]
“That’s right.”
“It’s a way you can’t do it twice. Well, actually, it’s because it’s immature that it has potential.」
There’s nothing this bastard can’t say. get spoiled
What kind of guy do you look like so you get hot with every word you say?
“I am you.”
“You seem to have a better mindset than I thought. great.”
I keep looking at it, and it seems to be pretty good, and that’s it.
… … Whatever.
“Seeing that I feel a bit more emotional than I thought, I guess I am Mikhail Walpurgis’ ‘humanity’, right?”
“It’s roughly like that.”
A fairly worn-out humanity.
But anyway, in this space, I was a ‘human’.
“That’s strange.”
“But do you understand?”
I involuntarily nodded at those words. I also naturally understood what I was thinking.
It’s like role play.
Then why did this strange situation come about?
I didn’t even have to think deeply about the reason.
“Is it the moment of choice?”
The advice Asar gave me at the last moment.
I thought I had already passed that ‘moment’ once, but it seems that it wasn’t the last.
This moment was also a moment of choice.
it’s a choice
“I was always thinking about it.”
He slowly turned his gaze around. Even though it has faded, it is still a place with memories to me.
Even that ‘light emotion’ is precious.
“This moment will come.”
“I guess so.”
“But… … it was a bit lacking If I was going to throw it away in the first place, I should have thrown it away right away, but I hate to do that.”
It was my immaturity.
But what can I do? It is an instinct that every human being has.
“I don’t want to die.”
“… … .”
“I want to live. I want to live as a human being with everyone.”
“… … .」
The godhead did not answer my words.
He just looked at me quietly, as if he understood.
“But you can’t.”
that’s not okay
From the moment I heard the prophecy from Asar, I came to a conclusion.
I decided to give up even this faint feeling.
“That’s what a hero is.”
「That’s right.」
The first hero was like that too.
sacrificed himself
Wouldn’t he have wanted to live as the first hero? I would have wanted to live like crazy.
But didn’t you sacrifice?
There is nothing more unseemly than seeing a junior run away when a senior did the same.
“You won’t regret it?”
“It’s okay. I made preparations.”
“At the point when all of you are worn out, so that ‘us’ disappears altogether?”
“That’s right.”
[It doesn’t matter to me.]
In the end, this ‘god’ was also me.
so accept it It just seemed like the right thing to do.
“Besides, a god who is perfected by destroying himself. Isn’t this kind of cool?
”
Anyway, I came to a conclusion.
To be precise, it’s more like reconfirming the conclusions we’ve already drawn, but… … .
In any case, the direction was clear.
“Shall we try?”
With those words, I reached out my hand to the godhead. Goddess looked at me like that, smiled softly and asked.
“Do you know what it means to reach out to me?”
“I know.”
“‘Me’ doesn’t mean ‘we’ will disappear. But it will be different. It’s never going to be a good direction for ‘us’. Because that’s how it was in the first place.」
He also knows.
Even the feelings I am feeling right now will be completely different.
Okay. Because action has been taken.
To disappear when the duty is finished.
The soul itself was bound by a spell that would never break.
therefore.
“I’m determined, so grab it.”
“In that case.”
With those words, my godhead grabbed my hand.
Everything started to change with the pure white light.
I hoped it wouldn’t change.
Things that had to change in the end.
… … It happened.
* * *
The devil was sure of victory.
He still had bits of his humanity, and he couldn’t help himself as long as he was afraid to abandon them completely.
【Didn’t you know that?】
The Demon God even felt bitterness at this situation itself.
It was an opportunity to overcome loneliness.
Maybe this time, we might be able to succeed in “coexistence,” which had failed during Asar.
But no.
Just as my son turned his back on Solomon, the ‘possibility’ this time was the same.
Looking at Mikhail’s drooping body, the Demon God raised his head in vain.
does this end
Again, meaningless… … .
【Is this the hope you bet on?】
The demon looked at her son with pity and said.
【Asar, whom you staked everything on, eventually died by my hand. and… … Even all of the possibilities you had have come to an end.]
“… … .”
This time I looked at Hecau.
【You are like that too, Hekau.】
“… … Do you think you won?”
【The difference in status is not something that can be changed in an instant. Especially if it’s half a penny who couldn’t let go of humanity until the end
.
He blocked every single one of his plans and broke his limbs to stand in front.
This situation would have been the ‘best’ situation created by Mikhail.
But eventually get there.
Even the best of them had a bunch of people who fully reached themselves.
“Not yet.”
Then Hecau stood up.
The demon’s eyes twitched when he saw her.
【You are no longer a god. Isn’t it not the same as me, but rather closer to a human?]
“My hero has not yet lost.”
[Not even funny.]
The demon snorted as he watched Mikhail’s body slowly fading away.
【What can you do?】
“… … .”
【Destroyed all possibilities. And I saw that Mikhail’s divinity died and even that hope collapsed, so what on earth… … .]
“No matter how much he is a father… … You don’t know everything, do you?”
【… … Huh.]
With the thought that it was ridiculous, the demon got up.
If you still harbor such false hopes, let me personally prove it.
With that thought in mind, the demon was ready to deliver the final blow.
But at that moment.
thud.
something trembled
The Demon God, who tried to put an end to it with the final blow, felt a sense of incongruity.
And belatedly, I realized that the trembling was the beating of something.
The soul was beating.
thud.
Will follows.
Even though emotions have collapsed, unchanging beliefs in the midst of them have bridged the collapsed bridge.
thud.
Faith crossed its arms.
The many wishes for the hero’s victory down there made the impossible possible.
【you… … .]
The Demon God froze in front of the mysterious scene unfolding in front of him.
thrilled at the same time.
【… … Did you finally reach it!]
Finally, the existence in front of you threw away even the last bit of humanity. It has become a true matchmaker.
thud!
God finally stood up with a louder sound than just before.
A god destined to perish.
A guardian born of mankind.
The red eyes slowly changed their color. Five colors of light were swirling in those pupils.
“ah.”
The demigod felt both joy and sigh at the choice.
“… … .”
The girl who was once a god saw it and made up her mind once again.
A warrior stood in front of him.
“… … Right.”
Now everything that was once precious has faded.
However, what connected his arms was the hope of mankind, and the bridge that made him stand firmly was his conviction.
He was the wind and the conviction.
And God said
“Let’s finish.”
Although humanity has disappeared, the god who has not forgotten his resolve has stood before his rival.
like that.
The warrior prepared the last.
