“My purpose is.......”

“To establish a demon god to take the place of God so that this world can continue without regression. The construction of the Holy Land is the last bastion to protect the surviving humanity.”

“Ah, as expected.”

A beautiful face smiled.

“I knew you would figure it out before I died, Aylet Rodelin.”

The conversation I had with him at the Chaos God’s Tomb was rewound. - Let me guess. You’re smart, so you’ll figure it out before I die.

-... ... .

- I wonder what kind of eyes you’ll look at me with then. I wish there was a mirror in front of me at this moment.

Reed. 100th Tesilid Argent.

What kind of eyes do I have when I look at you now?

I hastily judged your condition. I thought you abandoned your best and went to the worst because you were tired of the fate of having to sacrifice yourself as the axis of regression.

But it wasn’t.

You are still good, so you just stepped back from the best to the second best.

However, the benefits of the cruel utilitarianism maintained by your sacrifice were too great, so I couldn’t accept the gap between the best and the second best and considered it evil.

You were chaos, but not evil.

You were good.

“You originally wanted to destroy the world. But.......”

“.......”

“Because you are in this timeline.”

“.......”

He confessed while looking at the curved horizon.

That’s right. The lead in front of me was completely different from the lead in the original. It was even different from the 100th time that the 117th Tesilid had experienced.

“I tried hard because you were here.”

“.......”

“You are my only good.”

Even so, I couldn’t help but feel that the essence of the two Tesilids was the same.

A person who is born good, lives a good life, and no matter how corrupted he becomes, he cannot let go of his goodness and holds on to it with all his might if there is even a small opportunity.

That is why I place my hopes on him.

I will not give up, thinking that he is the ultimate mastermind who cannot be compromised or persuaded.

“Reed, you know, but I believe in another god.”

“.......”

Red eyes calmly look at me. I continued speaking with hope in that silence.

“His god is the ‘Spirit that Builds the World.’ Since the declaration of the Spiritual Religion a while ago, this world has come to be under the protection of the ‘Spirit that Builds the World.’ A god has come into this world.”

“.......”

“That is why, that is why.......”

I chose my words carefully.

“What you planned has already come true. We no longer need the Demon God. Since we already have a god. So if we seal the Chaos Evil this time, everything will be over. You will no longer return.......”

“Ailet.”

A soft call interrupted my words.

A clear sign of rejection. However, his gaze toward me was more affectionate and friendly than ever.

With a face that even had a gentle smile, he continued speaking as if it was his turn.

“Why did I call you?”

“.......”

“Ailet, I called you to persuade.”

“......Persuasion?”

It was something I never imagined would come out of his mouth.

Him, me?

He asked me, who did not understand.

“Do you believe in God?”

“.......”

I wondered what the intention of this new question was.

“Do you believe that God will save the world?”

“Of course.......”

“What if you abandon him again?”

“.......”

“If your god, the ‘Spirit that Builds the World’ abandons the world, who will be the axis of return then?”

The calm, hidden nature of the enemy’s eyes was filled with a subtle madness.

“I can’t let you play the fool like me.”

“Reed.......”

No. That’s not true.

The spirit is not like that.

I should have said that. However, at that moment, as if my tongue was paralyzed, no words of rebuttal came out.

Reed’s words were speculation, and even blasphemy against my god.

It would be meaningless to say it.

He doesn’t believe in god. It’s not a matter of faith. It’s a matter of trust.

Having been abused for so long, he had long despaired of the goodness of god. How hollow would it sound to say that my god is different to such a person.

No words could buy his faith.

That fact is painful.

I’m so miserable that I don’t know what to do. I’m going crazy.

“Haa.......”

At that moment, the feeling that was creeping up on me was similar to a terrible sense of helplessness.

I buried my face in my hands without realizing it. Reed’s voice rang in my ears again.

“Ilet Rodelin, I want to save you and this world. So......”

“.......”

I raised my head reflexively and saw him rising from the iceberg.

His toes pointed this way. The distance between him and me gradually became closer.

“Let’s build a fortress in the world that was destroyed with me and live in it.”

Ah... ... .

I couldn’t say anything as I looked at the hand extended before my eyes.

To hold your hand.

That would be the only thing I’m not allowed to do in this world.

“.......”

“.......”

It seemed like a long time had passed.

The wind blew long as if to fill the emptiness created by the silence.

The ice crystals that were swept away drew a white curve ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) like the foam of a wave following the wind.

“I know.”

At that moment, Reed, who had blurted out the words, took his hand away. With a foolish gesture.

“There’s no way you can hold my hand.”

“.......”

“This method won’t suit you. So I’ll try to persuade you in a way that’s a little easier for you to choose.”

“.......”

I thought the darkening gaze looking down at me was ominous. And this kind of premonition never went wrong.

Darkness condensed at Reed’s fingertips and formed a shape. He summoned the magic sword and completely distorted the meaning of ‘persuasion.’

“Take out your weapon, Aylet.”

“.......”

“If you want to choose me, you have to lose to me, or you have to beat me.”

“.......”

“Of course I want you to lose. Desperately.”

“.......”

It was a sophistical pun, but his eyes weren’t smiling at all. They were the eyes of someone who was begging desperately.

That’s why I had a hunch.

He’s serious.

That’s why he’ll give it his all. [‘World-building Word Spirit’ sighs and closes his eyes.] Without realizing it, a long, white exhalation pours out from my open mouth.

“That’s your conclusion.”

In the end, it seems like you and I have no choice but to run parallel lines.

I got up from the ice chair.

“Me too, Reed. You want to save this world too.”

“.......”

“My way.”

Reed smiled sadly as he watched me summon Livlily.

“It’s a shame, Aylet Rodelin. But I won’t give up.”

He fixed Libra.

“I’ll try to persuade you.”

The sword and Seonggyeom clash.

A clash of great power. The axis of the snow mountain shook and the sky resonated. ✠Seonggyeom Livlily and the sword Libra collided one after another with a destructive metallic sound.

With that alone, a whirlwind of snow and ice danced on the top of the snow mountain.

In the midst of the battle that caused a meteorological disaster with just the sword wind, the snow mountain, which was hit directly by the aura, gradually lost its height.

Even without physical impact, the powerful power of the two transcendent beings affected the world in itself.

The surrounding scenery became distorted and deformed by the aura emitted from each weapon.

Ilet made a series of short but sharp attacks toward Reed. The expressionless face that pressed forward was that of a ruthless judge.

Reed had a gentle face in comparison.

Having lived as a holy knight for a long time, he still could not abandon his noble and dignified swordsmanship.

Especially since the opponent was Ailet Rodelin, it couldn't be helped.

Kaaaaang!

Another clash produced a loud noise. As the two clashed, rubbing their blades together at close range, circular ripples were drawn in succession in the vast air.

And a moment later.

Kwaaaaang!

Reed used his strength to strike Ailet. Her body was thrown backwards mercilessly as if the accumulated repulsive force had exploded at once.

Choo-ja-ja-jak!

With an amazing sense of balance, her two legs landed on the ground, but her heels didn't brake.

Her body, which was pushed helplessly, scattering ice powder instead of dirt, soon disappeared beyond the cliff of the snowy mountain.

"......."

A fall from 5,000 meters in the air. However, Reed just stood still and watched where she disappeared.

At that moment, the top of the handsome man's head shook. It was a warning sign of something happening.

Kwajijik!

Countless thunderbolts poured down, tearing through the vast sky. They gathered like a funnel and converged on a single point called Reed.

A powerful hammer of God to judge evil.

However, Reed lightly waved it away with just a gesture. The discharged thunderbolts failed to reach his crown and only hit the ground around Amen before dispersing.

All this time, Reed stared intently straight ahead. Soon, the sight he had been waiting for appeared before his eyes.

Swish.

Inyoung rose above the cliff.

Aylet Rodelin, her hair starting to turn silver, fluttering.

She overcame the fall with the divine descent and rose back to the top. [<System> Transcendence skill 'Divine Inviolability' is activated.]

... ... . She was beautiful, floating in the air with defense and enhancement skills wrapped around her like a peerless weapon.

Reed opened his mouth as he looked up at her as if he was engraving it on his retina.

"You're beautiful no matter when I see you."

"I don't get excited even when you say that."

"It's a shame."

He gestured again. The hand that called for destruction distorted the laws of this world and changed the gravitational constant.

The invisible wings behind Ailet's back snapped and her two legs touched the ground.

It was from then that the battle changed to a long-range battle.
