Academy’S Weapon Replicator 490
Chapter 132: Golden Apple (11)
Frondier left Poseidon and flew back to the capital.
As he went, Frondier muttered.
“Is there really a golden apple…? …”
[What on earth is that golden apple? Where did you get this information?]
A crow asked next to me.
Frontier had no way to explain and smiled bitterly.
“I heard it in a dream.”
So he came up with a ridiculous excuse.
[Indeed. It’s a common thing.]
Gregory believed too easily.
“Is this common?”
[It’s a precognitive dream. I heard that God sometimes delivers it to humans.]
Since this is a world with gods, the existence of precognitive dreams is not that surprising.
Frondier scratched his cheek.
Frontier was an ordinary idea in the previous world, but in this world, it has become a creed.
─I don’t believe in God.
─Because I don’t believe in fate.
A previous world where many people did not believe in God or fate.
In contrast, here, events occur that fundamentally shake Frontier’s faith.
“… “It’s fate.”
Frontier quietly recited.
A crow flying next to me said.
[I heard it from that picky prison warden. Marco said he had the god of fate on his side.]
“That’s what we’re talking about right now.”
The story of the golden apple that stopped along the way.
It is now about to begin again.
So, does this mean that the Trojan War, which will occur on top of it, will also break out in a similar way?
[What do you think, Frontier? If things end up like this, even if you don’t like it, you have no choice but to believe in fate, right? It exists.]
“This isn’t fate, it’s the gods who make it happen.”
In Frontier’s view, the gods are nothing more than cowardice.
No matter what fate is, these gods do their best to follow that fate.
“But what you believe is real usually ends up being real.”
[What kind of delusion is this?]
“It’s like stocks. “Stocks that everyone believes will go up do go up.”
[It goes up because you buy it. It’s not about predicting what will go up and living. It’s the opposite.]
“It goes up anyway. “Whatever the cause was.”
[… That’s right.]
Likewise, regardless of whether fate actually exists or not.
If everyone believes that fate exists, eventually events will proceed as fate dictates.
‘Now that you think about it, this damn machine is completely broken.’
Frondier looked at his smartwatch, which he had almost forgotten existed.
Although I still wear it, it has been quite some time since the watch stopped responding.
After meeting Satan, it began to drastically decrease, but after the Mangot War, it stopped working at all, and on the first day of boarding the ship to Agoris, it only said that the world quest had started and fell silent again.
It is not known whether the event that occurred in the capital city of Palma is related to the original game.
But aside from that, smartwatches are now eerily quiet.
‘Well, it was an object whose identity was unknown from the beginning. ‘It was strange that you told me it was a quest until now.’
Thanks to this smartwatch, Frontiere was able to predict the direction in which the world will move forward. Of course, there are many things I know because I have already played the game, but I also know when it starts, whether it started now, what the details of the incident are, etc., Because I used the smartwatch.
Stand tall.
There, the frontier suddenly stopped.
A crow flying next to me flew ahead for a while and then came back.
[What, what’s going on? Frontier.]
Frontier does not answer.
He was now captivated by a question that was so new and unexpected that he had never even thought about it.
He stares at the smart watch, which is still not moving.
‘… ‘What is a main quest in the first place?’
Frondier is saying mangame, mangame, era as a habit, but from his point of view, this is no longer a game. There are significantly fewer elements that could be considered a game.
The only thing that makes me think this is a Frontier game is the fact that I played a game with the same settings and world view in the previous world, and the quest notifications that occasionally occurred on this smartwatch. Now that quest doesn’t even appear.
‘Since this is a game, I thought it was natural for quest notifications to appear.’
But let’s think the opposite way.
If this isn’t a game.
If it were reality itself, just like we lived in the previous world.
‘In the previous world, what would I think when the main quest appeared?’
Go to school, get a job, get married, and have children.
What if the main quest suddenly pops up in that kind of life?
And if the events mentioned in the quest definitely come true.
Stand tall.
Frondier stopped walking.
[… You seem deep in thought. Frontier. Whatever your worries,]
“It’s fate.”
* * *
Poseidon quietly looked at the woman who welcomed him with open arms.
She seemed to know the atmosphere, no, she seemed to have no idea, so she had nothing to say.
[Human, what is your name?]
When Poseidon asked, the woman said, “Ah,” And bowed gracefully.
“My name is Cybel Forte.”
[Do you know who I am?]
“I do not know.”
Cybel answered without hesitation.
Unlike Gregory, she does not know about the situation in Frontier.
Cybel has not heard from Malia, and her coming to this continent is also her arbitrary choice.
But Cybel grinned.
“But you can make an analogy.”
[Hoo.]
“Standing solidly in this vast sea, the immense majesty and intimidation that all humans can’t help but look up at. “The end is unknown.”
Cybel lists her own guesses. An expression closer to a compliment than a guess.
“You are Poseidon. “I believe there is no other being of such dignity.”
[… That’s great.]
Poseidon was impressed. If he were another god, his expression just now would have been an act of insulting to that god, but he said it without hesitation.
Of course, from Cybel’s perspective.
‘You can tell just by looking at that trident, mister.’
I said this without leaving out the most important hint.
[What’s going on with a human child here? Or rather, how on earth did you get here? On that small boat.]
I’m curious as to why I came, but in Poseidon’s eyes, I’m more interested in how I got there on such a small ship.
At the very least, is the ship capable of changing direction?
Saibel smiled brightly and said.
“I moved forward with faith and reached the destination.”
It’s literally like something out of the Bible.
“It must be God’s will.”
Poseidon narrowed his brows and examined Cybel.
However, looking at his eyes, it did not occur to him that Cybel had a strange method of crossing this sea.
If she could fly like Frondier, she would have been there a long time ago, and if the ship had a special device, she would have been able to see it with his own eyes. Above all, if she wants to do that, she just needs to come on a big ship.
Conclusion finally reached.
[… You’re lucky. Hey kid. There will never be such luck again.]
Maybe it was the same as giving the correct answer.
[It’s virtual that we came this far, but this area is off-limits.]
Poseidon returned to his original task. Just like when he first stopped Front Deer.
“Yes? “Why?”
[Don’t ask why. I do not allow you to go beyond this point.]
Cybel blinked at those words.
He nods, touches his temple, and looks up at Poseidon again.
“Then, do you know anything about Frontier? “Did Frontier come back without being able to get over here?”
[… What is your relationship with Frontier?]
Poseidon was somewhat expecting it.
Such a strange appearance, such an unknown presence. This child clearly has some connection to Frontier.
In response to Poseidon’s question, Saibel nodded and placed his finger on his collarbone as if proud.
“I’m Frontier’s girlfriend.”
[… Girl friend?]
Poseidon recalled the first time he met Frondier.
A man she didn’t know was holding Mjolnir, so she lifted it up with her ship to find out the whole story.
Obviously, the Frondier took off, but there was a wizard who slowed down the falling ship. Even from Poseidon’s eyes, it was amazing magic construction and speed.
Girl friend?
[… Wasn’t she that child?]
Quickly.
When Poseidon blurted out those sounds, he heard something hit.
There was no way Poseidon could hear it.
‘Hmm? It seems like the momentum of the waves has changed somehow.’
What.
The sea is getting rough.
It’s inside Poseidon’s domain.
“hehehe, hehehe. Elodie is Frondier’s trusted friend and comrade. But! “My girlfriend and lover are me.”
While Cybel was speaking, the sea became increasingly violent.
[… Yes, I see.]
Poseidon had a bad feeling about something, so he accepted it for now.
The wizard’s name was Elodie.
Cybel said she had a strange presence from the moment we met her, but she had just hit her peak.
Are you really human?
“That’s why I need to meet Frontier. If he passed, please allow me to pass too.”
There is no such thing as force.
Frondier went on a pilgrimage, but this woman just followed him. She’s his girlfriend and all, but it’s none of Poseidon’s business.
But, for some reason.
Poseidon felt that he should not stop Cybel.
He must not be messed with.
Even if someone touches her, she must not let anything happen near him.
This does not mean that Cybel’s power exceeds that of Poseidon. Poseidon wasn’t scared of that.
[… If so, let’s do a test.]
Poseidon spoke with an ominous tone that even he himself did not know.
[Have you ever seen something called a ‘waterspout’?]
“… “I’ve seen something like that before.”
A waterspout that appears as water rising into the sky in a whirlpool.
It is extremely rarely seen in the sea.
Elodie’s original ‘Jujak Oreum’ is a magic based on this waterspout.
[From now on, a waterspout will fall on you.]
Poseidon shook his hand lightly.
Shooooo… !
With just the slightest movement of that huge hand, the ocean waves immediately began to rotate.
[If you survive, I will let you go.]
Poseidon plans to send Cybel away anyway.
But I was curious about the source of that power.
How did he get here on that small boat, and what is the ominous feeling that continues to touch his senses?
The waterspout he creates is large and powerful, but it is not difficult to deal with it if it is something like Frondier or Elodie that he has seen.
So how will this woman named Saibel deal with it?
“Now, wait a minute! Wow!”
Poseidon creates a waterspout without delay and sends it to Cybel. It is a power that can truly be called the power of God.
Quaaa!!
Cybel watched the waterspout approaching her in confusion.
It is impossible to penetrate or avoid it with the small boat she is on.
‘Now, what is this woman hiding?’
That’s when Poseidon’s eyes shined.
Cybel’s expression sinks, and she holds her stomach tightly with both hands.
Immediately after,
Shuuu~
Saibel was swallowed by her waterspout and flew up with her ship.
[Hmm?]
So, Cybel climbed endlessly high with the ship,
She soared into the sky and became invisible even to the eyes of Poseidon.
From Noble mtl dot com
Mom~~! The sound buzzed like an echo and slowly faded away.
Someday it will fall somewhere.
[… This.]
Could it be that I just killed someone?
Also, Frontier’s girlfriend?
It was Poseidon who was in severe agony for the first time in his life.
