Chapter 968 – Survive the Big Bang?

000

While Cleon’s reputation was steadily falling outside, Cleon himself was staring at Nyala’s stomach to make sure that she had been properly engraved.

“Now, wait a minute, no matter how much I am, it’s embarrassing to look at me like that…”

Niala’s face blushes as she shows off her cuteness in an unexpected way.

At Cleon’s order, she was already wearing all of her clothes, and her top was slightly lifted, so it would have been a scene that would have made an ordinary person feel embarrassed…

Unfortunately, she was not an ordinary person, much less a human, so Cleon glanced up at Niala with cold eyes, and then she removed her face.

Cleon, who, according to her plan, was able to imprint upon Nyala the imprint of her rule, ordered her to do both.

First. Even if her progenitor replicates her past life factor in himself, do not escape from her.

Second. We will explain exactly what will happen once the progenitor replicates the reincarnation factor.

Her first command was engraved in her head while she was being trained, so it was deeply embedded in her, and she could not refuse it, regardless of her will.

As for her second command, she continues the explanation with the words, “I mentioned it earlier.”

“The progenitor who copied the reincarnation character will be reincarnated once again. So that I can achieve a complete, non-imperfect past life.”

In other words, it was a story about being able to be reborn with the same soul intact, like Rakshasa, Cain, and Cleon, unlike the ones where one’s existence had been gradually diminished through incomplete past lives.

＂What is different from your previous life… Is that, unlike you, who can only regard your previous life as a stranger, you are reincarnated while retaining all your memories and magical power? So, you are being reborn, not someone else.”

A pseudo-eternal life created as a result of adding the power of the reincarnation factor to the fairy’s special reincarnation method.

In the future, she will repeat her past life again and again, and her magical power will become stronger each time.

There was still a question whether such a being could exist, but Cleon just nodded, listening to her story in silence.

“Yejeonghyang was originally a space created by the founder to seal himself. Quite a bit, her magical power is spread all over the place. The same goes for these underground ruins. It is no exaggeration to say that this space was created using the power of her dreams while she sleeps.”

“… So, if she reincarnates using the power of the reincarnation factor and wakes up… Is there a possibility that the power that maintained it will disappear?”

“Should I say it has the potential to disappear… It will disappear, right? Actually.”

Nyala calmly answers Cleon’s questions.

“I told you, right? Fairy Hyang is said to be a space for the founder to confine himself.”

So, if there is no need for that, Fairy Fragrance will no longer have a reason to exist.

That is to say that the awakening of the ancestors leads to the collapse of Fairy Village.

And, the collapse of Fairy Village means that Fairy Village and the human world will merge.

“… You should have said that at the beginning! It’s not a happy ending at all!?”

When Cleon argues, Nyala replies ‘Ugh’ while feeling a bit of remorse.

“It’s a happy ending for me and Sijo. This also applies to fairies who will be reincarnated without side effects in the future.”

Ha, Cleon sighed loudly.

Yes, all predators are like that.

It was a wise choice to ask because I didn’t think there would be any side effects.

“There will be great chaos in both worlds.”

＂That’s right. Because we were separated for too long. Few people know that fairies were originally humans. I wonder if only the dragons who live a life close to eternal life know.”

Nyala mutters as if she is not interested in Cleon’s mumbling.

＂… There is a high probability that a conflict will arise between humans and fairies.＂

“That’s right, because humans instinctively persecute beings who are different from themselves. If fairies suddenly pour out into the human world, there will definitely be humans who rebel against them. It’s good for me, but I’m not a race where fairies will be pushed aside.”

Nyala shrugs her shoulders and speaks in a carefree voice.

But Cleon shook his head.

“… We need to talk to her before she wakes up. We need to be in tune with what happens after this. At the very least, we must prevent the fairyland and the human world from merging.”

＂I understand your feelings, but I wonder if there will be time… Because once I finish duplicating the reincarnation factor, I will start reincarnating right away. If that happens, you have to get out of this world.”

Nyala spoke to Cleon while sitting on the bed.

“I control this world, but it is also her mental world. And it is also an extension of her dream. When the body and soul are reincarnated, you could easily get caught up in it if you stay here. “You don’t want to do that either, right?”

＂That’s…＂

There was no lie in her words.

Rather, I felt a little bit worried about Cleon.

As she said, being in the process of a person’s body and soul being reborn is a dangerous thing.

That’s right, it can’t happen unless you’re at the level of Nyala-

＂…＂

There, Cleon silences her for a moment and then looks at her.

Yes, didn’t she continue to be in this, no matter how many times her progenitor repeated her past life?

So, what if she gets her help?

＂Nyala.＂

＂Why?＂

“Is it possible to protect myself from the aftermath that occurs when the progenitor is reincarnated?”

＂…＂

In response to Cleon’s question, Nyala closed her mouth for a moment and frowned.

Unlike the worry from earlier, it was the expression of a person who was thinking, what should I say, being very rude.

＂Is your head okay, guy?＂

“Hey, don’t say what you’re thinking.”

Cleon was to give her blessing.

＂But… So to speak, you will be in a universe being reborn. At the same time as the explosion that occurred when the universe was born, the chaos that turns heaven and earth will overtake you.”

“But you’re holding on, right?”

“That’s right… I used to stay in that kind of place.”

Nyala shrugged her shoulders and waved her hands in the air once.

Then, what appears there is a space that seems to depict a gap in another dimension that Cleon has also seen before.

It may be a colorful light that is uncomfortable and dizzying for Cleon, but Nyala looks beyond it with her somewhat nostalgic eyes.

Even if you look at her like that, she won’t let you go.

“So. Is it possible or impossible?”

“In theory, it’s possible. But whether you can endure it is another story.”

After saying this, Nyala got down from the bed and approached Cleon, who was standing there.

Then, suddenly, I spread my hands out-

Her hands stretched out like rubber and wrapped around Cleon’s body.

＂Wow…＂

As if holding her precious object in her hands, she created a space between her hands to fit Cleon’s body, trapping him inside, and there was no light coming from outside.

“If I wrap myself like this. “Can you bear it?”

＂… Not yet.＂

It was difficult for her to honestly say that it was such a pleasant environment, but Cleon responded to her words with a sullen expression.

“Okay, then what about this?”

Next moment.

Her hand moved.

Coo coo!!

＂Wow!?＂

It wasn’t rattled, nor was it a mess.

A more intense feeling than falling into a whirlpool in the sea assaults Cleon.

It may have been the first time in my life that I was shaken so messily.

I felt as if the entire organ in my head that was supposed to maintain my sense of balance was paralyzed, as if I had been struck by lightning, and it felt like everything I had put in my stomach was going to come pouring out.

＂What~~~rae~~~do~~~?＂

From outside, something like Nyala’s voice was heard, but Cleon felt like he would bite his tongue from the shock of shaking if he opened his mouth in this state.

About a minute passed like that.

Slowly, Nyala’s hand stopped, and her hand that was wrapped around Cleon was released.

Then, Cleon, who would not have been surprised if butter turned into butter like a tiger in some fairy tale, fell down.

＂Heo-eok… Heo-eok…＂

“Look at that. “Is it difficult for humans to endure?”

Looking at Cleon, she would talk as if she thought it would happen.

“I will tell you. Because her mental world, where past lives take place, is more than this. This time it will turn into butter and melt? When you say nice things, it would be better to go outside first and let them know that the fairy scent is over. “I’m just saying this because I’m worried about you?”

Nyala’s words must be sincere.

“And, whether the fairy scent disappears or not is none of your business, right? No, it might actually be beneficial to you, right? Being a human who has been blessed by the current Fairy King means that when the Fairy Village and the human world are combined, you can be superior to other humans.”

And, that may be true.

“Therefore. Please wait quietly outside. “I don’t want you to melt here like this, do I?”

This is the final warning, Cleon thought.

But even so-

Even if she’s right, and she’s doing it for herself.

If Fairy Village collapses right now, the fairies will lose their place to live.

The chaos that will occur in the human world for which nothing is prepared.

And above all.

If the cause of this is that she herself passed on her past life factors.

Cleon thought she needed to take responsibility.

“… Is there something, a way…?”

“Method? Even if it’s a method… This world is not your world. Moreover, it is not my world. There is no change in the fact that we are both intruders, and the world of the spirit is unforgiving to intruders. … Even though I dragged you in.”

The right theory, the right theory again.

As if her self-proclaimed reputation as a knowledge-seeking predator was not a lie, it was impossible to understand what she said after hearing it all.

However, Cleon clenched his fists and stood up at her words.

＂Again.＂

＂…?＂

“What you did earlier. Do it again I will endure this time.”

At Cleon’s words, Nyala would frown her eyes.

＂You say it’s reckless? If I continue to stay here, I will only be swept up in an even greater chaos than before and mixed in with the spirit of the progenitor. Unless you want to be a part of her, just be quiet and listen to me. In the midst of her shock earlier, will she be able to maintain her own existence… Her ego called ‘Cleon’?”

The next moment Nyala said that as if it were her final warning.

Coo coo coo… And the space vibrates once again.

＂!＂

Cleon and Nyala will look at each other in surprise.

＂Did you do it?＂

“No. This is… Finally, the story of the main dish.”

Next moment, wow! And the floor of the space above the tower where the two people were standing splits.

Just like dividing Cleon and Nyala.

Cleon clicks her tongue and jumps over to where Nyala was standing.

Nyala was talking to Cleon while holding him down.

＂The copying of the reincarnation character has been completed! You can leave now, so get out quickly!”

＂… Hehe…!＂

Cleon was drooling at Nyala’s words.

It was that time.

[Cleon… Cleon…!]

From somewhere, I heard her voice calling me.

It’s a familiar voice.

Although it is heard from outside, the voice that resonates from inside belongs to ‘Kuon’.

001

If you go in the direction Sasha pointed, there is a silhouette that really looks like Cleon… Trapped in an egg.

And next to it, boom, boom, there were three swords swinging.

[Gyaaagh! Save me!!!]

[I can no longer distinguish between the ceiling and the ground…]

Galatea screams, and Caliburn suffers quietly.

Cleon’s party members who saw the scene stood blankly for a moment, but quickly moved to rescue them.

As Kuon’s holy sword was swung, the holy magic cut off the tentacle and saved Caliburn.

Lila snaps her fingers, puff! And a series of explosions occur, and Galatea is ejected.

Lastly, Sasha shot out the only silent slash, caught it with a hook arrow, and pulled it in, and the tentacles that came with it made a honeycomb with arrows made of magic and dropped it.

＂Recovery complete!＂

“All three are safe.”

[How are you safe? Entangled by tentacles…!]

“Yes, yes. Because I knew it well. How is Cleon doing now?”

Laila interrupts Galatea’s angry words and approaches the egg to examine it using her magic.

From the outside of the golden egg, the silhouette inside was faintly visible.

There was no doubt that it was Cleon.

However, as expected, he had lost his mind…

‘What is this egg… It’s incredibly hard.’

Rather than talking about physical strength, it is about magical power.

It was like a barrier that wouldn’t leave a single scratch no matter how strong the impact was from the outside.

Probably, by making it almost impossible to resist the movement from the inside to the outside, an absolute one-way defense was created.

Lila immediately figured out the structure of her egg and frowned before looking at Vivian.

＂The magic power felt in this egg. It’s similar to the magic power of fairies. “Is this a sijo?”

“I guess so. “It’s my first time seeing Sijo in person.”

＂It seems to have a different nature from the tentacles nearby. So then tentacles are not the progenitors?”

“Maybe. I don’t know what it is, but…”

Vivian answers, approaches her egg, and puts her hand up like Lila’s.

And if she keeps her mouth shut for a moment-

＂… I can’t do it. You can’t send anything inside from here. Rather than blocking magical power… It feels like interference with Cleon’s mind has been blocked. If you are not directly connected to him, it will be difficult.”

As Vivian speaks with her face darkened, her group looks at each other.

Kuon then nods her head and walks over to where Lila was standing just now, placing her hand on her egg instead.

And – he tried to call Cleon through the imprint engraved on him.

[Cleon… Cleon…!]

Then, a voice comes back from inside.

[Is this voice… Kuon?]

When Cleon’s answer came back, Cuon’s expression brightened, and he nodded even though he couldn’t see it.

Was that gesture said to be successful for Laila?

Lila quickly placed her hand on her egg and called to him in the same way as Kuon.

[What are you doing inside!? You probably didn’t do it with Sijo either!?]

[What are you talking about all of a sudden…!? No, more than that… Are there other people there too?]

Lila frowns at Cleon’s question, but Kuon answers for her.

[Yes, everyone is safe. I think I just need Cleon to come back…]

[Sorry. There’s still work to be done here. … Listen to me. If we don’t want Fairy Hyang to collapse, we need your help.]

At Cleon’s answer, Lila and Cuon turn to Vivian with surprised expressions.

“… Why, why are you like that?”

＂Cleon said that Fairy Incense might collapse…＂

＂What!?＂

Vivian lets out a scream-like voice at Kuon’s words.

[Allow Sasha and Amelia to share their voices as well. We need the strength of all of you.]

At Cleon’s request, Lila and Cuon called the two people and had them put their hands on the egg as well.

Finally, when the entire party is together again, Cleon speaks.

[… Good. I will now explain the operation. If this fails… The continent will fall into great chaos, and Fairy Village will collapse. So you must succeed. Got it?]

[Wow, it’s already such a burden…]

Sasha sounds unsure, but Kuon, who was standing next to her, holds Sasha’s hand.

[It happens all the time.]

[Yes.]

[Two, aren’t you both too calm!?]

Amelia and Lila seemed to be thinking, ‘Is this the pattern again?’

[Ah. So, like always, let’s do it. Listen carefully…]

And while Cleon’s explanation continues.

Sisters Vivian and Melusine watched with amazement as the facial expressions of the group they were listening to changed moment by moment.
