… … And the first poem, ‘The Marquis of Discord’ Andras
The 10 disasters that had fallen on the people and the ominous beings that caused them.
Now, after everyone has been annihilated, the only thing left is one Andras.
And that Andras is a being with a heteromorphic body.
The two bodies that had been divided now come together and face each other.
The identity of the two was the 1st Crown Prince Jack, who had reigned as the heir to the throne, and the 2nd Crown Prince Piggy, who had only been rumored after his disappearance.
Bikir looked at Piggy’s face as she stood there with a hard expression on her face.
In the past, why did Piggy ignore the academy and all relationships with other people?
Was it simply a matter of bullying, bullying, or alienation?
… … no.
Bikir had been thinking about this since the beginning of Naraksu.
‘Piggy is a much more upright and strong friend than you think. I’m not a guy who would lose to simple bullying or loneliness.’
Maybe the reason Piggy left before returning was because he questioned his lineage.
Vikir made his own guesses based on what he had experienced in the past.
‘Piggy. Is your blood originally black?’
‘huh? Ah, this was originally like this. omg!? Mi, I’m telling you in advance, but it’s not like you’re becoming a demon! It’s been like this since I was really young! Although the doctors said it was because of the high iron content in the blood… … But it seems to have gotten a little thicker since entering Naraksu?’
It was a speculation that was linked to the phenomenon that Piggy’s blood twisted the law of cause and effect when he was trapped in the Naraksu.
Piggy died once in a previous fight with a demon.
And on the third day after death, he opened the heavy coffin lid and opened his eyes inside it.
The moment Piggy opened his eyes, this was the first thought.
‘The reason you woke up first is probably because you had something to do first.’
The words Vikir had said when she closed the world inside Naraksu were still vivid in her ears.
And the weight and warmth that comes to the shoulders.
‘Never look back. Go alone from now on.’
In the cunning and malicious trap of Naraksu, in the midst of everything deceiving and dragging him to harm him, the scarred, rough palm that was the only one that pushed his back.
Eventually, Piggy raised her head and her eyes met a gaze from beyond the portal.
‘… … Please go somewhere comfortable.’
It’s a severed neck. It was the head hung on a high pole.
“… … my job.”
Piggy looked down and looked at her hands.
Black blood drips down.
The handle of the blade piercing Andras’ heart came into view clearly.
[Yes, you bastard… … Didn’t Flauros kill him? After, he told me to be extra careful because he was the most suspicious among the candidates… … ]
This time, the reason Flauros dug a trap using the water source area was to obtain another form of Andras.
Or, wake up and get rid of them before they become a threat.
[Did Gear come here! To close the ‘door’!?]
Andras said, gnashing his teeth.
At the moment, Bikir also had a point to point out.
It was information about Andras that Dekarabia had been talking about in the past.
[Come on! That’s one poem. The structure of the body is heteromorphic. Ordinary lifeforms divide objects based on their bodies, but that concept doesn’t work for them.]
‘… … What do you mean?’
[therefore. Wouldn’t you divide and decide the human individual based on yourself? You are one human being. And if there are humans who satisfy the same criteria, two. three more four. five… … . But not once. Two can soon become one, and one can soon become two. Since the standard for dividing self and non-self is outside the human concept, a foundation is impossible according to the general idea.]
‘I have no idea what you mean. So, it must mean that I have a unique body structure like yours, right?’
[anyway. I also don’t know much. The one-time guy has a lot of secrets. but… … I only heard that the roles of ‘the person who closes the door’ and ‘the person who opens the door’ are separated. That’s all I know.]
Dekarabia is also an object-type, inanimate-type demon, so it has a very special heteromorphic body.
However, even Dekarabia evaluated the shape of Andras’s body as strange.
One soul split in two. one body.
It naturally led to rumors about trusts that spread throughout the world.

A civil war in the empire, an oracle that pitted seven prestigious families against each other.
It said that both the first and second princes, who were born with the lineage of the founding emperor, had the power of a prophet, and that ‘one of them is the one who destroys the world, and the other one is the one who will save the world’.
The justification for this civil war was to prevent the wrong crown prince from ascending the throne.
And the truth that was hidden behind it was uttered through the mouth of Andras, who occupied the body of the first prince.
[Whoops- Yes. I am a being with the ability to open doors, and you, another me, have the ability to close doors. The end of this dark cloud will be determined by which of us is annihilated first.]
Andras grabbed the blade that had pierced his chest and destroyed it.
… Kurreuk!
Flames flying towards Piggy.
But it was blocked by Bikir.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Vikir gritted his teeth at Andras’ magical power that burned and melted the entire surroundings.
“Is it possible to emit this much firepower even with a body that is all crumbling?”
If Andras hadn’t been split in two, if he had killed Piggy and completely absorbed his soul, and if he had been able to use the demonic sword Asmodeus as well, the result would have been unimaginable.
[Open or close the door, it’s time to choose one! Do not disturb!]
Even at this moment, Andras was pouring fireballs at Piggy, baring his sharp teeth.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam! Kurleung!
The entire imperial palace started shaking wildly.
Andras’s attitude was desperate and desperate.
The older brother’s words of wanting to find his younger brother and become one were true.
However, the way to become one is the logic of a survival game in which each other must kill each other.
In front of him, Bikir couldn’t help but recall the past.
When Piggy died due to Grenouille’s participation in the war, Vikir personally took care of Piggy’s body.
Just like before returning.
‘… … At that time, Piggy also collected the body myself. I also kept my deathbed.’
Exactly what the situation was like at that time, Vikir also has a vague memory.
Just when I think of that moment.
‘… … He’s a good person.’
Only this auditory hallucination, which has been heard over and over again in moments of crisis, lingers in my ears.
Since then, Bikir has had an amazing experience.
Even though it had been several days since he returned from the battlefield, Piggy’s body had not decayed.
Piggy’s body smelled of death as time passed.
Also the stench that comes out at the same time.
But it was of a completely different nature than the stench of corruption.
awakening.
At the same time as Piggy died, he was reborn as something completely different from human.
It was because of Andras’s other self, who had stayed near Piggy’s soul until now.
“… … Somehow, I thought it was similar to the time of Seere.”
The devil’s method is to hover around the host and aim for the moment when the host’s mind or body is at its weakest.
The moment she sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar smell from Piggy, Vikir reflected her face with the mirror of truth borrowed from Dolores.
And in the mirror, an amazing figure was reflected.
invited emperor. The same face I had seen through portraits.
Piggy’s lineage was only then revealed to the world.
Another heteromorphic soul of Andras stayed around the body of Piggy, who was born with the lineage of the emperor, and waited for the moment of awakening.
“Only then did I understand why your blood was able to close the Maw.”
Piggy smiled faintly at the words of Bikir, who was blocking his way.
Piggy’s soul, which was in a state of suspended animation without completely disappearing, was able to remain in the body with the help of Camu.
However, unlike Seere, Andras’ ego, which had a completely heterogeneous structure, was fused with Piggy’s soul, and as a result, Piggy was able to stand here now.
… … also.
An intangible string was connected to Pigi and Vikir’s heart.
It was a thread that Andras, who occupied the body of the first prince, had paid attention to, a thread of tough bond that had been connected from the world before the return.
[I remember. Bikir. How you and I from the other world met. and… … .]
Piggy opened his mouth in a tone that was somewhat sad, but tinged with longing and joy.
[Why did I bring you back?]
