It feels new to be able to directly confirm what I knew in my head.

“But eyelet.”

"huh."

“Can you also activate your Divine Descent with this skill?”

“.......”

An unexpected question. To be honest, I ended up showing a startled reaction.

Given the aftereffects of the past two days, Reed's comments just now must have been a huge threat to me.

[The 'World-Building Word' is enraged.]

[The 'balance-regulating cynic' tells him to calm down since it won't work anyway.]

[The 'Libra of Souls' argues that the aftereffects of the Divine Descent should be changed to hypothermia or chills.]

“The descent of the Holy Spirit is a secret weapon and a weakness for you, so it would be better to make sure of it.”

“Write, try writing?”

The skill book was in Reed's hand. Can I take it away from him?

Fortunately, it was a needless worry.

“No way. I know the aftereffects of your actions.”

"oh......?"

“Is it because of my mood? It’s like a look of surprise.”

“Hey, no.”

“Yeah. I guess I saw it wrong.”

After thinking for a moment, Reed arrived at the answer on his own.

“I don’t think Divine Descent will work. Divine Descent isn’t something that can be cast using divine power, but rather something that is permitted when the divinity of a god is connected. It’s probably a transcendence skill that can’t be forcibly activated just by supplying divine power.”

“That’s right. Do you remember? I used Divine Descent even when I didn’t have any divine powers.”

“Yes. I remember that when I was a cute girl with pigtails. Even though it’s been a thousand years, I still remember it.”

“Yeah. So, it’s been proven that the power is exerted through a separate mechanism, not through the three great powers.”

“You are truly special. The best in the world.”

Was it because of the excessive gold-plating he received, or was it because of his talent for making ordinary words sound sweet? I felt a strange tingling sensation in my heart.

Now that we have resolved the question of the Divine Descent, it was time to address the issue of the skill book.

“Then this skill is.......”

The lead in front of us is episode 101. We have already experienced enough catastrophe in the previous timeline.

I naturally assumed he would want to learn the 'Prophet of the Startup Command' himself or have him wiped from the world.

But the prediction was wrong.

“Take it, Eyelet Rodelin.”

"huh?"

Reed handed me the skill book. That action was no different from putting a sword handle in my hand and holding the tip to my neck.

Reed said,

“I want to give you my weakness.”

"......why?"

The curve of the eyes becomes darker. The red pupils become deeper.

“Why would that be?”

“.......”

It is clear that his talent for making even ordinary words sound sweet is on display again.

It was clearly just a trivial remark.

There was also a playfulness to his answering my question with the same question.

Still, I felt a sudden, sudden sensation as if something had struck me.

“It’s a bit shaky.”

“......No.”

The reaction was too late. And he happened to be right in front of me. His good observation skills were against me.

Fortunately, he didn't push me any further. He straightened his back, which had been bent down as if he was stepping back.

“I guess you like the skill book. Learn it quickly.”

Even though he was now an accomplice, I still wanted to secure a safety device in case of an emergency.

Still, I was concerned about what Reed had experienced in the past timeline, which made it difficult to learn quickly.

“Are you really learning?”

"huh."

“What if I use it for bad things?”

“That’s the part I’m looking forward to. The hatred or regret you’ll show me when you activate that skill.”

“......That’s an abnormal way of thinking.”

“I guess you forgot, Ailet Rodelin. I’ve been out of my mind for a long time.”

Yes, it was. It was so pretty and beautiful that I forgot for a moment.

Reed seemed to be looking through the past records while he was on the subject. His two corrupted eyes were looking into the empty space with a sense of emptiness.

“I think it was around the 94th time.”

“.......”

“I wish you had shown up then.”

I'm concerned about the 94th episode that was specifically mentioned. What happened in the world where the original story was distorted due to the tutorial?

As I listened curiously, he began to rewind his memories and tell me the story.

“Do you remember? When we parted ways after obtaining the Sword of the Holy Demon.”

"huh."

“I asked you when I could see you again.”

"......huh."

“You said it was time to forget.”

“.......”

-When can I see you again?

-I'll come see you when you forget.

-Don't forget.

-You can forget it. I'll definitely come find you.

-......okay.

Time has passed, and it would not be strange if it had faded and worn away, but he speaks as if he were drawing a memory from a few months ago, just like I do.

“It took me a long time to think about the meaning of those words. I even tried to forget you because I thought you had to forget me to come see me.”

“.......”

“But unfortunately, I have a useless memory, so you.......”

The head finishes the story on its own.

For 100 times.

During those long years.

He me.

“.......”

No matter how much I knew, when I actually heard it, my heart would flutter and I thought it would be hard to bear. The person speaking must have felt the same way, as Reed skipped over the words.

“I’m glad I broke the promise that you’d forget. Honestly, I don’t think I could live here sixteen more times.”

The wind gently brushed my cheek.

Maybe it was because I was so focused on Reed. I thought it was his touch.

He must have seen me agitated.

“Now the last dungeon remains.”

He changed the subject nonchalantly.

A red eye twitched at the bottom of the list.

“This is the place I’m most looking forward to.”

“Here?”

“I can go boating with you in the ruined world.”

['Libra, the Judge of Souls' looks forward to a romantic date on a ship!]

The final dungeon was the habitat of the mermaid spirits, the 'Sea of ​​Great Flood'.

✠

'What romance!'

Did I come here just to see this sight? I was feeling extremely disillusioned at the moment.

The mermaids surrounding the gondola fluttered their lower bodies like fox tails. Their sinister eyes were naturally shining towards the most handsome man in the world.

<I've never seen such a cool guy like you. Won't you come and play with us?>

<There are twelve of us. Let's have fun together.>

<I will give you the pleasure of underwater that you can't even dream of on land.>

<Come here. I'll put some breathing magic on your lips.>

<From the order... ... in order... ... .>

<Just all at once... ... .>

The lead ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) is unresponsive, but they are quite the sight among themselves.

The only good thing is that Reed's world destruction rate remains at 51%, the same as before. But.

'I just want to destroy them all... ...! No, what was I thinking just now?'

I don't know if I'm becoming like Reed. Come to your senses.

Reed seemed to have a strong tolerance for the aura of chaos and consistently ignored it, completely suppressing it.

Honestly, I was a little offended.

Other times, you would just lighten the mood and summon the gates of the Manma Hall, but why are you being so quiet now? You thought it was easy and the mermaids wouldn't leave.

['The Architect of the Skyscraper Trials' really likes the harem atmosphere.]

[The 'balance-tuning cynic' laughs at the fact that half of them are fish, so managing the fishery is actually quite easy.]

[It is clear that the 'Libra that Judges Souls' is deliberately provoking your jealousy, and suggests a counter-tactic!]

Is that so!

Just when the gods' plot was almost successful, Reed proved his innocence.

“It’s disgusting. Stop it.”

<... ... .>

“How can you be sympathetic to a half-finished fish that stinks? Find a lower creature that suits you.”

<... ... !>

The tone of voice was so bland that it was all the more insulting.

<What, what? Bloody smell? A lowly creature?!>

<Are you done talking?!>

<You, you're the one whose stench from the land is stinging your nose!>

<I can't forgive you for ignoring a mermaid!>

Reed couldn't hide his laughter as he watched the mermaids snickering. To tell the truth, I felt the same way.

Guys, what if you can't forgive him? He's the lead... ... .

At that moment, all the mermaids turned their gaze towards me. It felt ominous.

<Apologize now! If you don't apologize... ... .>

“What if not?”

<I will put a curse on the females of this land!>

“No, why are you taking out your anger on me for no reason?”

<That male's eyes are not good at looking at you! You must be his weak point!>

“Wow, you guys are really cowards.”

<I, I don't know! I'm angry! I'm going to curse!>

Yeah, go ahead.

It seems like I looked easy because I was next to Reed, who pretended to be easy. I'm a 9th-level Shin Seong-gyeong, so how could the curse work?

But there was a hidden danger.

“A curse? That’s a scary thing to say.”

Reed again gave off a gloomy aura. The spirited mermaids trembled but pretended to be strong.

<Of course! It's a really scary curse!>

“What kind of curse is it?”

The mermaids cried out in repentance.

<I'm going to turn that female into a mermaid!>
