Chapter 132 The Golden Apple

Three days left until voting date.

Among the Frondiers, the first one to arrive in the capital was Carla.

No, it is Athena who possessed Kala.

‘Gregory must have already figured out my location. Probably after it was reported to Frontier.’

From Athena’s perspective, she doesn’t know which of the countless birds passing by her is Gregory.

However, I understand Gregory’s ability itself.

‘You can collect most of the information while handling a large number of small animals, and pass on the collected information to others with almost no time. It’s not a combat ability, but it’s so convenient.’

However, the birds and rats that you control themselves are of little use in combat.

Gregory can only be controlled, and small animals cannot replace his aura or mana.

It only serves as a substitute for seeing and speaking.

‘then.’

Athena hid among the crowd. The capital is already packed with people due to the upcoming vote.

Athena checked her surroundings. You can see a few birds, but they are far away. But you must not let down your guard. Because the mice are also Gregory’s eyes.

‘Here once.’

Athena cleverly wore a mask in the crowd.

Of course, I don’t know whether Gregory confirmed this process.

But the mask is enough.

Athena will now change her mask whenever she hides in enough crowds. Additionally, even after finding accommodation, it is changed regularly.

‘Things Gregory controls are indistinguishable from normal animals. The amount of mana is almost the same.’

However, to put it conversely, the mana that interferes is so weak that it cannot be distinguished. They cannot do anything more than what ordinary small animals do.

It would be impossible to detect and find Kala’s mana. It will all depend on perspective.

‘Whew, I can’t believe it takes this much effort to avoid the power of just one human.’

Athena now had a completely different face, and smiled slightly relieved.

“Well then, bye. See you later.”

* * *

[Tsk.]

Gregory clicked his tongue.

‘Is God still God, even though he borrowed a human body?’

A crow flew towards Frondeer, who was in flight.

[I missed it.]

“As expected, did you use a mask?”

[huh. It’s more thorough than you think. I confirmed that the mask is being replaced for the first time, and the mask is being cleverly changed in a place where vision is blocked. Under a bridge or inside a store. Also, choose a place with a lot of people.]

Frondier felt a strange sensation at those words.

‘Thorough… … . Then, that was truly amazing acting back then.’

Frondia recalled when he first met Athena.

To be honest, I felt like a childish fool, but now Athena’s movements are like a different person.

[What is Athena’s purpose? Is she completely playing with you?]

“No, he probably was prepared to die when he confronted me.”

Frondia had met Athena at Pantemonium.

In Pantemonium, one of the two is bound to be trapped, and only Frondia can get them out. And that’s a pretty strict countdown.

However cunning the gods may be, they do not intentionally do anything that would lower their own status. That cannot be included in the strategy.

In that respect, Athena was incredibly inferior. She probably couldn’t have calculated that she would lose to a human in a battle of souls, and it must have been nothing more than an expectation that Frondia would return after escaping from Pantemonium.

[Then I can’t understand it even more. If I meet you again, I know I can’t win.]

“Well, that’s true.”

If you think about it that way, is it still the same as preparing for death?

“There must be something more important than your own death.”

[… … The vote to be held in this capital?]

Gregory’s voice says he doesn’t understand. This is a natural reaction.

It’s Frondia and such who worry about the war between gods and demons, but Athena is the god herself. In other words, she is the one who has the decision-making power to trigger the war signal. Basically, she is not in a position to worry about war.

In other words, for Athena, this situation taking place in the capital of Palma will itself be important.

And Frontier had a strange feeling about that.

‘… … golden apple… … .’

The story of the golden apple from Greek mythology. It is an object that simultaneously stimulated Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena with one word: to give it to the most beautiful goddess. The fight between these three goddesses later became the beginning of the Trojan War.

The competition over beauty, and the fact that Hera and Aphrodite were involved, had already raised suspicions about the connection, and as a result, Athena also headed to the capital.

If this is an unstoppable trend, does that mean an accident comparable to the ‘Trojan War’ will occur in Palma?

“… … “I have to convey this to the other side as well.”

[there?]

“The continent of Palind. “As long as it is relayed to His Majesty Fili, he will be able to respond in some way.”

[What are you responding to? Are you saying that what happens in the capital city of Palma also affects Palind?]

“If the war between gods and demons really is happening, and what Vishnu said is true, then a human being who has been given divine powers can have his body taken away at any time.”

[…] … ah!]

Gregory also realized.

How God sanctions the devil.

He possesses a human body with divine powers and attacks demons.

God is everywhere.

There are many people on the Palind Continent who have received divine powers, and of course most of them are strong people who are in charge of the balance of power in the empire. In particular, almost all of the Zodiac have divine powers.

“If there is someone among them who has received divine power from the gods of Olympus, there is a possibility that they will invade here at any time. Or they may be eliminating the demons hiding in the Terst Empire right now. Maybe even now… … .”

Frondier frowned.

Of course, the one that comes to mind right away is Aster Evans, the hope of the empire who received Baldur’s divine power.

Aster overcame Baldur and sent him away, but looking at Kala’s case, it is not impossible for Baldur to stick with Aster again.

‘Baldur isn’t a god from Greek mythology, and Aster’s mental powers are strong enough, so it should be fine, but there’s a chance. Besides, Aster isn’t the only problem. If we’re just talking about the troubles, the Zodiacs having their bodies taken over is more of a headache.’

The justification for punishing the devil is very simple from God’s perspective.

It is a method that will not diminish faith even if it takes away the body of a person who has been given divine powers. Because the contempt for the devil is severe.

“But it’s okay. Mom will be watching.”

Frondier remembered that his vision was shared with Malia.

The information that Frondia saw was immediately transmitted to Malia, who will now go to meet Fili.

[…] … hmm. Come to think of it, I forgot, Frontier.]

“huh?”

Gregory said, sounding somewhat embarrassed.

I can’t tell because it’s a crow’s face, but the voice was like that.

[… … I met Malia de Roach.]

“… … ?”

Frontier tilted his head in a flying posture.

What did Gregory just say?

[So, um, everything got caught. Luckily, they kept it a secret, so I was able to come this far.]

“… … “What would you have done if my mother had decided differently?”

The crow said to him:

[I almost got into trouble.]

“No, you bastard.”

[It was Aster’s doing! I was trying to help Aster, but he suspected me without permission! He grabbed me by the neck and dragged me away!]

Frondior sighed.

It was brave of him to survive even after being captured by Aster and discovered by Malia.

“… … “I’ll have to give a long explanation to my mother later.”

Frondier muttered with a slightly depressed heart.

* * *

Terst Empire.

After Frontier left, the empire was extremely peaceful.

The great evil Frondier was planning to devour the empire. The empire shed little blood when he was driven out of it.

The people believed that the power of the empire was that great, and they became more united as a result of successfully dealing with demons.

Now that trust in the Empire has grown, Phili’s work has become much easier. Even tasks that would normally cause friction with the citizens are now being handled smoothly.

However, apart from that,

“… … .”

The Empress of the Empire, Fili Terst, has been feeling an unexplained anxiety creeping up her legs lately.

She is walking down the hallway now, on her way to her next task.

A maid carrying a bunch of documents is walking in front of her. It’s a busy movement.

“What?!”

While walking quickly, the maid lost her footing and tilted her body. She unconsciously opens her arms to avoid falling, and the bundle of papers dances in the air.

Shhh!

Fili waved his hand once, and the papers that were almost scattered everywhere were neatly gathered and piled up on the floor. Her maid caught her as she almost fell, feeling her light float. She was able to wake up unscathed.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! Your Majesty!”

The maid, who immediately realized that it was Fili’s magic, quickly bowed down.

“It’s okay. You seem busy, so hurry up and get moving.”

“Yes, yes!”

The maid followed Fili’s words and moved again, carrying the neatly stacked documents.

If others had seen it, they would have been amazed at Phili’s high-speed casting. The spell was completed in the short moment that the maid stumbled.

But that’s not the case for Phil.

It’s not high-speed casting in the first place.

‘… … The foreboding is becoming sharper and sharper.’

Yes. Fili already knew.

She has the ability of foresight because she is a descendant of Bala.

However, Phillie’s foresight was not originally accurate to this degree. It was originally more of a ‘feeling’ that warned her.

‘Frequency, accuracy, and even how far into the future you can see. The power of foresight is growing stronger.’

Fili’s foresight is a powerful force that allowed her to survive in the imperial palace and protect her daughters.

So, it’s only natural that Fili’s powers of foresight are strengthened, which is a good thing. The Fili of the past would have liked it.

But now Philly is in a very bad mood.

Squeak.

Fili entered his office. Her eyes sank.

“… … Frontier. “How should I accept this?”

Fili suddenly brought up Frondier’s name.

“Since you left, my powers of foresight have grown stronger.”

Fili once wished for Frondier to be by Aten’s side.

Aten feels ominous when he is with Aster, but when Frondier is by his side, he does not feel that ominousness.

Therefore, it is safer for Aten to be with Frontier. That’s what I decided, and it was actually correct. Because of Frontier, the empire was able to win the war against Mangot.

But as time went by, Philly realized.

Trusting Frontier was ultimately a good thing, but the basis for that judgment was a mistake on her part.

Aten feels ominous when he is with Aster, but Frondia does not.

The mistake was to think that it was safer on the Frontier.

But that’s not the truth.

‘… … Foresight doesn’t work on Frontier.’

Fili has no feelings for Frondia. Whether ominous, joyful, or sad, her foresight does not react at all to Frondia. Naturally, Aten also has no feelings when he is near Frondia.

In fact, as the number of times she met Frondier increased, her foresight gradually diminished.

I don’t know why. I don’t know what the principle is.

But one thing is clear.

The mere presence of the Frontier weakens Phillie’s foresight.

‘So the closer you are to Frondier, the less likely you are to react, and at this point when Frondier has left the continent, Yeji continues to get stronger… … .’

If you look at the simple dynamic, Frontier and Philly are in opposition to each other. I don’t know what the backlash is.

In other words, in order to use Fili’s foresight to the fullest, you must stay away from Frontier.

So far away that it could literally cross a continent.

“What’s this.”

It’s absurd.

Frontier is Fili’s greatest ally. Now, I never even thought about Frontier being in the way.

Philly’s decision came surprisingly quickly.

If the Frontier is your ally, the answer is clear.

Yeji is a hindrance to her.

“Actually, I’m starting to get a little scared.”

Philly realizes that a significant part of his life is being permeated by foreboding.

Foresight is seeing the near future based on the evidence of the present. In other words, it means ‘calculating’. In other words, it is a prediction rather than a foresight, but the probability of reaching 100% only brings the prediction to the level of foresight.

That is, it is fixable. Just as Phillie had just fixed the future where a bunch of papers would spill onto the floor.

Phil’s foreknowledge is not a destiny that must happen in the future. It will simply move towards that future if she leaves it alone.

So, when foresight is activated, it is better to check it and modify it for the better. It can almost certainly produce good results.

The problem is that the more this happens, the more work is done that is not in Phil’s control.

Philly’s own choices are rarely involved in changing the future indicated by foresight into a good outcome. This is because it is almost like arithmetic.

But Fili cannot help but act. She is the empress, the mother of three daughters, and the pillar of the empire that Frondia believes in.

It’s none other than ‘Philly Terst’.

‘What happens if this foreboding grows stronger?’

Phil’s concerns aren’t really delusional.

She doesn’t know it, but Frondier actually knows the outcome.

It is one of the many tragedies that will occur in the game ‘Etius’.

Philly becomes a complete ‘machine’.

Fili, who has been completely consumed by foresight, now leaves all his actions to foresight without any will of his own. This is possible because foresight itself is based on calculation and prediction.

This tragedy is largely of Fili’s own choosing. At the moment he feels there is no other way to save the empire.

Of course, the current Phillies would never think that way.

‘… … Someday, I might have to do that.’

smart.

At that time, there was a knock on the office door.

“Your Highness, Malia de Roach has come to visit.”

“… … Malia?”

“I put it through because I heard there was an urgent matter. What do you want to do?”

“They told me to come in.”

Fili answered willingly.

I’m secretly happy. My mind was already in turmoil because of the prediction. It was time for some fresh air.

Soon the door opened, and Malia came in.

“Your Majesty, I am truly humbled by your mercy in accepting my urgent visit. “I sincerely apologize once again for having no choice but to come to you this way because the information I received was urgent.”

“It’s too formal, Malia. “What is between us?”

When Fili said, smiling, as if it were a regular exchange,

“──Huh?”

Philly,

I feel a great sense of foreboding like I have never experienced before.

The moment I looked into Malia’s eyes, I saw Malia’s future.

Malia is kneeling and crying.

And the black-haired man who collapsed face down in front of him.
