The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 573

Episode 573

Chapter 151 Summoning (4)

Moirai’s words stuck in my mind like thorns.

The identity of the smartwatch, the main quest I was trying to solve, it was all just a game inside Moirai.

Moirai continued speaking.

“At certain times in human history, forces of resistance against God appear. We call them ‘giants.’”

“When the first giant appears, their numbers increase rapidly, and one of them possesses ‘weaving.’”

“The giants who have grown in power provoke humanity and start a war with the gods.”

Moirai said with indifferent eyes.

“It’s all planned out, Frontier.”

“It’s happened several times already.”

“The giants resisted God and sacrificed humanity. Do you know how many people died because of that?”

I said.

“How dare you, when you have made humans into puppets to use,”

I can feel the life in my voice.

“so?”

The Moirai in the middle said.

“As you say, we live off the faith of man. What is that? Frondia, not all truth is helpful. Especially in this case. No matter what trials we have given, man has always relied on us, believed in us, and followed us. Are you dissatisfied with the fact that we have somewhat strengthened his heart?”

“You’ve grown your mind a bit? Do you think that creating an external monster and taking over all of human territory, and killing countless humans in the process, would be acceptable?”

“That’s right. In fact, since then, humans have become more religious. At that time, no one wanted the truth. Everyone wanted to receive better divine powers and craved more of the gods’ affection. Frondia, truth is useless to humans when they have no room for it. The fact that you have come across this truth is ultimately proof that humans have had enough.”

My fingertips trembled. A hollow smile appeared on my lips. I was so angry that I laughed instead.

Moirai on the right said.

“Frondier, if you hadn’t done this, humans would have been able to live a decent life.”

“In the pen you guys made.”

“Yes. Instead of leaving the pen, you are sending all of humanity to their death.”

The war between gods and humans.

This has become inevitable.

It’s happened many times in the past, and it’s happening again this time.

“Frontier, let me ask you one thing.”

The Moirai in the middle said.

“Do you agree with this? Your deviation?”

“……what?”

“Does every human being want to get out of the pen?”

I was speechless for a moment. I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t know what to say first.

Moirai on the left looked at Selena and said.

“Even if you have tacit consent from those who believe in you and follow you, like this woman, and those who are strong, what about those who are weaker? Do you really want them to leave the pen?”

“So you’re saying that’s not the case?”

“Of course. You are hoping that your livestock will survive while you are away in the wild. It is obvious that they will die. Isn’t that the height of hypocrisy?”

When I heard those words from Moirai.

Ironically, I was reminded of Hela’s words.

─The Empire still doesn’t know the truth, and is only focused on the crisis at hand. It is only busy protecting itself. You know better than anyone, Frondia.

─It’s a war that’s already been lost. And humanity is weaker now than it was then. Why should I take the side of someone I can’t win?

Whether you’re mocking me or not.

The gods have already decided the outcome of this war.

The defeat of humanity, the death of countless human beings.

It seems more like a prediction than an indication of what was going to happen.

That’s what fate is like.

The three goddesses of fate, the Moirai, had already foreseen it, and things were proceeding according to that order.

“Is it better for humanity to live in fear, not knowing when the monsters outside will break through the barrier? Do gods really say such things?”

To my question, Moirai’s expression is still flat.

“Wouldn’t that be better than dying?”

When Moirai said so.

I felt a huge cliff splitting apart inside my mind.

Even my slightest will to have a conversation with God completely crumbled.

Now, no matter what happens, God will not be able to get over this cliff.

“… …Moirai.”

I saw the three goddesses in that very mind.

The anger has completely disappeared.

Moirai is no longer an object of my anger.

“… … .”

Ironically, it was only then that Moirai’s expression changed slightly.

“Frondier, no matter what you think, nothing will change. The descent of the gods will begin one by one. You chose the wrong place to come. Didn’t you want to protect humans?”

“… … .”

The meaning of Moirai’s words is simple.

Get out of here.

If we return to humanity right now, we might be able to save a few people.

Isn’t that your role?

Now that Selena is captured, the only way for me to save her is to negotiate with the Moirai.

Knowing that, Moirai fan my anger.

Anger gets the better of you, making it difficult to make sound judgments.

To make a proper judgment, continue to spend time.

“… … Lord Frontier.”

The voice heard at that moment.

I looked up and saw Selena.

“I am an escort, Lady Frontier.”

Selena said.

Those words were so ominous that my eyes twitched.

“What are you trying to say now that you’re saying that?”

“The role of an escort is to protect, not to be protected.”

“Be quiet. Don’t think of anything nonsense.”

I warned Selena. I checked Moirai’s attitude with her.

Moirai just stayed still. They knew I wouldn’t sacrifice Selena anyway. So they stayed silent since it would waste time anyway.

“Selena, I never thought I would abandon you,”

“… … Haha.”

There Selena laughed.

“I’ve always wondered, Frontier, why you keep me by your side.”

“… … What are you talking about? As you said, you have to protect me.”

“No, that can’t be true. You are fooling yourself, Frontier.”

“You’re lying to me!”

“Lord Frontier.”

Selena looked at me there sadly.

“I’m not faster than Heukcheon’s reaction speed.”

“… … !”

“The close combat that Lord Frondia has been praising me for. Lord Frondia doesn’t allow enemies to get that close to him in the first place. Something like that won’t happen.”

I was about to object to Selena’s words, but my mouth fell shut.

It’s because of her expression.

That sad face that rendered any rebuttal meaningless covered my mouth.

“There is no such thing as a bodyguard protecting someone stronger than you. That’s why I wanted to become strong somehow. To be worthy of being your bodyguard. You believed that I would become that strong and kept me by your side, believing that.”

“Selena.”

“Lord Frontier, I followed you to the ends of hell.”

“Selena… … !”

“Please let me die here.”

Selena’s determined face.

I looked at that face with trembling hands.

His face was so clean that not even a speck of dust was there,

‘……uh?’

Because it’s so clean.

I never notice,

‘……performance!’

Only then did I see.

There’s something in Selena’s mouth.

Selena gave me a very brief wink.

Crunch─

I chewed and swallowed something in my mouth.

No, I know what that is.

That’s a mana crystal.

The thing I created, which is on par with Dragon Heart and beyond,

Phew!!

The Penelope cloth that Selena was wearing glows.

“what……!”

Moirai also opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Selena, who swirls around as if exploding with a huge mana, and her blue-shining eyes.

Shhh!

Selena shoots the needle again, Moirai turns his head to dodge.

In the gap of that moment, Selena’s hands move.

Hot springs

Selena Original

Jeolyeongbongchim, Chuna therapy

The Last Doll

Bam,

Moirai’s fingers grabbed her neck.

cook,

wrist.

Thud.

When it reaches the elbow,

“Kaaaaaaah!!”

The Moirai on the left let out a strange scream.

By then Selena was completely free from her restraints.

Next,

Shoulders, neck, spine, hips, knees and ankles.

Selena’s fingers penetrated the entire right side of Moirai,

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

Moirai deflated like a deflated balloon, deflating in the direction where her fingers touched.

It was more like the paper was folding rather than the person collapsing.

There,

Kwaaak!

Selena stepped on Moirai’s right foot, causing Moirai to not be able to fully fold up and creaking in a grotesque manner.

“Moirai, goddesses of fate.”

Selena said, looking into Moirai’s upside-down eyes.

“Why didn’t I expect this?”

“… … !”

Selena’s words made my head spin for a moment.

‘Selena is right.’

Why didn’t Moirai predict that?

Is this situation really beneficial to Moirai?

No, that can’t be.

Moirai just now really failed to read Selena’s actions.

Her attacks just now were so predictable that it seemed like she could see into the future, but why can’t she predict her actions of swallowing mana crystals?

… … the difference.

─So, it’s up to you to decide. How to take what they did, what decisions to make, you’re the only one who can do that.

─Just remember this: you are not a hero.

─That shouldn’t happen.

I remembered Hestia’s words.

Why did she show me the giants’ past?

It did satisfy my curiosity somewhat, but what did it mean for this war?

… … No, from the beginning.

Why did the giants summon ‘me’?

‘……ah!’

I shouted as soon as the thought occurred to me.

“Selena! Come into the shadows!”

“yes!”

I kicked the ground. With that one step, I stepped right up to Moirai’s nose.

“You bastard!!”

Avoid the attacks of the Moirai in the middle,

“Menosorphos.”

Weaving, Menosorpo

Gram

Install the gram behind Moirai,

“joy!”

The Moirai in the middle noticed it right away and turned their gaze away.

Phew!

Purbuck!

The short sword I was holding was stabbed into my stomach without any protection.

The Moirai on the right is pierced by Selena’s needle, which emerges from the shadows.

Even though I had already noticed the silently generated weave of the gram, I was unable to deal with the simple attack of my short sword.

While you were able to dodge Selena’s attacks until just now, you can’t dodge them after you’ve taken in the mana crystals.

“……you.”

I spoke to Moirai, who was in pain as she looked at the sword stuck in her stomach.

“In the destiny that can be seen, ‘I’ am excluded.”
