-350.
“It’s all over.”
“······.”
“What do you plan to do now?”
“I don’t know.”
“If you don’t know, you can’t.”
“you···.”
“I’m not saying take responsibility. Try anything. “I won’t even say that because you are the type of person who can do anything.”
“···What are we going to do?”
“Let me just ask you a favor.”
He laughed bitterly.
“Whether you become a god, a demon king, a star, or anything else…”
He lifted up the broken star spear.
A broken and rusted holy spear. He aimed the holy spear, which was no longer shining due to the dark red blood sticking to it, at his temple. Although it had lost its shine, it seemed as if it had not lost its sharpness, and blood flowed from the temple where the spear blade touched.
“Please do something.”
The last surviving coward said:
“Prove it by doing something. “It proves that the lives of those who died, my life that survived thanks to them, the ten years that you and I struggled, and the long, long time we endured in hell were meaningful.”
What he thinks of is countless deaths.
It took many sacrifices to get to this place. The destination we arrived at after accumulating so many deaths. Looking at the destination, he let out a long breath.
“How can I show them a scene like this?”
A destroyed world is before your eyes.
Black snow fell from the sky.
Demonic energy vibrated on the ground.
The Demon King cursed and hated this land until the end. The curse it left behind is leading the world to destruction.
“…I asked you last time.”
About the existence of a parallel world, or regression.
“And you answered: A parallel world can never exist. “You said that the only possibility was regression.”
During that conversation, the two had a hunch.
This world is already so broken that it can no longer be restored. Paradise does not exist at the destination they will arrive at. Even though I knew that, I still came here. For what?
“Go back. Then at least this might all be worth it.”
“… Those are irresponsible words. “Do you think it would be that easy?”
“Even if it’s impossible for humans.”
The coward laughed.
I smiled and looked at the witch.
“I think you can do it.”
There are beings there who are already distant from humans.
There is a human being who has become half a god.
It won’t be difficult to become a god if you put your mind to it. What you need now is to drive a wedge. How can I harden the heart of that demigod?
It’s cruel, but there is one way.
The coward uttered the name of that demi-god-like being. The name of a being that can never be forgotten.
“Kyle said.”
“······.”
“They said they considered you to be like a god. He said he believed in you, who was like a god who could do anything and become anything. So at this point…”
The coward laughed.
“How about becoming a god?”
The witch was silent.
The coward let out a long breath.
“As you said, there is only one world, and if only you could return as a god.”
If that happens.
“All of this becomes ‘something that never happened.’ It means it has become the past. “A past that no one can remember.”
Yes, said the coward.
“That’s enough.”
“···what.”
“Even if we disappear, even if we are forgotten, the time we have lived accumulates under the ground. It becomes the cornerstone of building a new world. “That’s it.”
At least it has some meaning.
“That is the only salvation.”
“······.”
“Coming all the way here to tell you this is a joke you can’t laugh at.”
The stoic Destel strengthened the hand holding the spear.
The broken spear blade dug into Destel’s temple. Seongchang, which had been so heavy when he was struggling to live, was lighter than ever now that he had laid down his life.
“Destel.”
“Are you planning to stop me?”
“I won’t stop you.”
“Then what is it?”
“if.”
Raniel said.
“If I become a god, and if I really go back to the past like you said…”
She laughed bitterly.

“Can you help me one more time?”
Balance appeared in front of Destel.
A scale made of ash, not starlight or shadow.
The moment he read the contents of the contract that were engraved in his mind, Destel burst out laughing. He tried to ask if he was sane, but Destel silenced her. There’s no way he could be sane after coming this far.
Are you planning on not giving me rest even after I die?
After all, such a comfortable death does not suit him. I tried to run away to death, but the witch was telling me not to run away for the last time. Destel shot back with a smile on his face.
“You’re not crazy.”
“When did I become sane?”
“okay. It’s clear that you and I are both crazy. “It’s obvious, just add a few lines here.”
“What can I add?”
“Questions I will ask ‘me’ before signing the contract.”
“I wanted to ask you something.”
A contract with additional requirements.
In that contract, Destel made a pledge.
“I’m just curious.”
A coward who had lived his whole life with regret muttered.
“Will I be able to live without regrets in a changed future?”
Bigul groaned.
“I wonder if I can be a hero too.”
One.
“…ash was flying?”
Cardi blinked.
“Are you saying that I pulled up the starlight and ashes came out? “Not yours, but the Ash Goddess’s?”
“That’s right.”
“That wouldn’t be possible. Didn’t the Goddess of Ash completely disappear that day? “I wouldn’t be able to intervene in this world in the first place.”
I let out a long sigh.
“Of course, the ash scattered only for a moment, and it didn’t come out when I was conscious of it and tried to pull it up. “Destel didn’t seem to understand what he had done either.”
Destel only lifted the ashes for a moment.
After that, the ashes did not come out mixed in the starlight of Destel. However, in that split second, I clearly saw the rising ash. It clearly belonged to the Goddess of Ash.
“Have you heard anything else?”
“I didn’t have a very long conversation with her either. “She hasn’t heard anything about this, but . . .”
Cardi said, smoothing my chin.
“I’ve seen ash flying.”
“···You’ve seen it?”
“This is the story of the day she disappeared and you got on the wagon to stop Kyle. “There was ashes, not snow, flying in the alley where my store was.”
Cardi, who thought for a while, soon opened her mouth.
“I think it might be some sort of remnant.”
“···dregs?”
“okay. Didn’t the remains of the gods who fell by the ancient dragon tens of thousands of years ago still remain in Alkeia? The Goddess of Ash also disappeared, but it is not impossible that her remnants remained in this world.”
Cardi had a point.
However, the remnants of the Ash Goddess were interfering with Destel too much to be dismissed as mere remnants. Frowning my brows, I then let out a long breath.
“···Well, it’s probably a good thing anyway.”
“I’m pretty sure.”
“No matter how she intervenes, at least it won’t hold me back.”
I don’t know what else they have prepared, but at least it won’t harm me. So I concluded that there was no need to worry.
“···I think I’ll think about that later and do something about that first.”
I walked around the barracks and looked around.
I saw a prepared podium and knights crowded in front of the podium. They are all waiting for my speech. The news of victory had already been delivered, but they were waiting to hear it directly from my mouth.
“Whoa…”
I let out a long breath.
I caught my breath, put on my robe, and brushed my hair. He tied her hair into a ponytail and straightened her clothes in front of her mirror.
“It looks like a hassle. Is there a need to dress up like that?”
“There is a need for that.”
I said.
“Because what you see is everything. This is a place where every word I utter, every breath I take, and even the smallest actions are recorded. So it has to be perfect.”
I turned to Cardi.
“I have to show that I am still alive and well even after defeating disaster. You must show that you are not conceited even after accomplishing a great feat. Don’t say it’s a big deal, just say it as if you’ve done what you had to do. “Because it has to be that way.”
“Do we have to go that far?”
“You have to go that far. “It has to be perfect.”
I laughed lightly.
“That is my role.”
Answering their expectations.
Being a perfect hero.
“Because this is who I want to be.”
Because that’s the dream Kyle entrusted to me.
After managing my expression, steadying my voice, and exhaling one last time, I took a step outside the barracks. The knights’ eyes were focused. With all the attention, I walked up to the podium.
One step, one more step.
With a thud, the sound of my steps echoed across the podium.
As I stood on the podium, I looked around at the people gathered in front of me. There were numerous and numerous articles. I exhaled lightly as I looked at the knights who stood on the same battlefield as me, or the knights who watched behind me.
There were no magic tools prepared on the podium to improve my voice. Because there was no need for that.
I wrapped my voice with mana.
Even if I use amplification magic tool, the volume of my voice changes depending on the distance. The reaching speed is also the same. However, the voice surrounded by mana is transmitted to their ears at the same size and at the same speed. It was a hassle, but at the same time, it was something worth enduring.
“iced coffee.”
I opened my mouth.
I thought as I opened my mouth. This is the second time we have announced that the disaster has been subdued. When the news of the subjugation of the black dragon was announced, mankind was delighted. So how will they react when the subjugation of the apostates is announced?
Although it was a little bit, I started talking with that in mind.
“Since the beginning of human history, apostates have been a symbol of fear. “Humanity was terrified by the appearance of its familiar, let alone the apostate.”
Hundreds of years.
“But, as of today.”
I laughed.
“In the history of mankind, apostates will no longer be considered a symbol of fear.”
I shouted while laughing.
“The apostate has been subdued. The apostate’s familiars were all but exterminated. It’s okay to rejoice just for today. “You can put down your weapons.”
My voice and my laughter were drowned out by the cheers of the knights. Those who had lost their comrades to the apostate, those who had felt helpless, screamed a little louder. I shouted among the echoing voices.
“The black storm, the black dragon Belial, was subjugated with its head cut off by the sword of the warrior Kyle.”
Black storm, subjugation of the black dragon.
“The apostate, Gletus, was subjugated by the hands of warriors and adepts. The disaster met his death with everything denied.”
Subjugation of the apostate, Gletus.
“What are the remaining disasters? Ancient Lich Skevall?”
I laughed.
“No one knows that in my barracks there are forty and seven skulls of that dreadful plague. Is Skebal still a disaster? Well, I don’t want to think of it that way.”
I said amidst the knights’ laughter.
“There is only one left.”
The most fearful disaster.
“The sword of death, Ganicalt.”
The most powerful disaster.
“It is only one step to achieve humanity’s dream. “It is only one step to achieve the dream that everyone scoffed at as a pipe dream or a delusion.”
I raised my arms. He stretched out his fingers.
The place pointed by the outstretched finger is beyond, the place where we must move next. I said, pointing to Gehete, a place where death is common.
“I go forward with you.”
to the next.
“Again, next time.”
2.
『I go forward with you.』
『Back to the next.』
The speech of the warrior Rania Van Trias spread everywhere. News of victory flowed everywhere, regardless of the lowest or highest places.
“Anyway.”
As she read Rania’s speech, she smiled.
“The professor is still the same.”
She slowly stood up.
“Havel.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Please get ready.”
“What do you mean?”
“Whatever.”
The last bastion of humanity, or the largest nation.
A country that insisted on remaining a kingdom even though it could be called an empire. Cartedia, a country that succeeded the ancient kingdom of Arcadia.
“We have to start.”
King of Cartedia.
Ayla Clen Cartedia smiled.
“Hunt for a madman.”
