Chapter 869 – Tower of Deep Dreams (8)

The snow woman’s gaze, accompanied by a pale aura, read my body.

“Dang, God, this is it.”

A voice that breaks like a phone call that cannot be returned.

Like computer data, the skirt and hair are split into bits. The widow’s voluptuous body visually resonated with the sound of a high scale.

The outfit is very similar to Alba’s when we first met.

White dress and pale skin. Wouldn’t it have felt like this if the sky blue color had been taken away from Alba, who had regained her warmth?

“What brought you here?”

“… Source, to, to reach… “I guess I’m wandering.”

The eyes of the former wise man, who spoke in a decisive tone, split into dots.

-Crackling.

“What do you plan to do with Mr. Pirot?”

“If they are talking about something that only they know, my part-time sister knows a lot. I think it would be better to go there. “If you see that you came to visit me, then you must have come to meet me, right?”

“… My daughter is. “She ran away before I could say anything.”

Oh my sister.

You crushed the ordeal itself and ran away.

She must be the mother I’ve been waiting so long to meet. Didn’t she have a good relationship with her when she was alive? I said, scratching my cheek with a shy face.

She was completely exhausted after dealing with the old man.
Could it be that I stimulated Alba’s love and came here to criticize the wise man for breaking his contract?

The former wise man frowned as if he had a headache.

“… “I have no intention of arguing with her about her child’s decision.”

My thoughts were read. Is it a wise man’s specialty to delve into the other person’s inner thoughts?

Rational and cool-headed emotions drip from every word he speaks. Unlike part-time work, there was no sense of being cautious or trying to be as considerate as possible to the other person.

Should we say that our common sense is different and our level of living is different?

This was not necessarily true only in positive cases. Because the fourth dimension is also different.

Even though she was reading all these rude thoughts, she didn’t blink her eyes as if nothing had happened and spoke to me again.

“Activation of the Crown.”

“…”

“Of course, this is what happens when someone whose qualifications are recognized and who has surpassed a certain level holds the crown. Just like you.”

“Yes?”

“I need three of those. Yet, among those other than you, there is no one whose qualifications have been recognized by the crown.”

“If that’s the case, it’s been a while since the answer came out.”

Erinyes and Melia cannot handle the crown properly.

In order to open the path to the source, the crown, which acts as a key, must find its rightful owner and become a signal, and Sephiroth goes into hibernation and stores up astronomical amounts of magic and power just for that purpose.

There are two owners of the crown that I chose.

‘Jeong Si-woo. Tarragon.’

The alpha and omega of the current world trees and flowers.

Since everyone knew that fact without me having to step forward, the crown would naturally flow into their hands.

“…”

The wise man looked at me with somewhat surprised eyes.

I guess I didn’t know that there were people who understood the truth of the world.

It’s surprising because I also came across this information almost by accident.

─When all the crowns except the destroyed ones reveal the light, the path to the source opens. The dishes break each other. Proving its value that will open an era.

It was natural for trees to take over this earth and become gods.

The wise man nodded. However, as if there was information that had not yet been revealed, he cut me off and continued without changing his expression.

“There are exceptions that meet the qualifications and essence without possessing the crown.”

“… Sephiroth.”

That is also information I knew.

The world tree of knowledge, which is expected to have reached the source, has carved an exception into its existence in addition to the existing rules.

I feel like I might say this too lightly. To summarize, it is like this.

The ‘origin’ is the state reached by those who have fulfilled the crown by fighting among themselves and absorbing the power.

And Sephiroth can participate in this childish skirmish without an activated crown.

This was the reason why I wanted to bring them both to the same level without destroying the crown.

This is because the moment the crown is destroyed, there is no way to absorb the power of the crown and the user.

‘I don’t have enough strength.’

One of the many reasons Sephiroth hibernates is to absorb the singularity caused by this flower.

It is completely different from the Sephiroth I fought in another dimension.

The immortality of cornelian cherry and the uniqueness of flowers.

The power of Sephiroth, who possessed all that knowledge, is comparable to that of all dimensions.

Even if I burn my power, I can’t guarantee victory.

“Sephirot would be an exception to the rule.”

The wise man nodded.

I hope to sentence you once more after that.

“Yes. And one more thing-“

Exceptional beings other than Sephiroth.

This time, it was something I didn’t know about, and my part-time job never told me.

Even though we gave up everything we had to talk about, it was something we had never heard before…

Was there something behind it that I didn’t even know about?

‘One person, no, one tree. I know.’

King of the world trees.

That prediction was only half right.

“Gaia’s bloodline.”

The wise man muttered this. Gaia. It is a legend in history that exists from a different time and has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation.

At that time, I frowned, wondering why the name of that being was being mentioned.

“… Ah.”

The wise man corrected his words.

“World Tree of Purity──”

“What?”

“A being who inherited her will. Destroyer of crowns.”

Just this time.

It was a name and existence that could not be easily overlooked.

She is also my daughter, named Shiva, and the warrior of the World Tree.

It was said that I could enter the battlefield that would reach the end of my generation.

“…”

“Are you saying that Gaia is pure?”

The wise man shook his head. This means that the two beings are not completely the same person.

However, it is not complete, and the fact that most of Gaia’s will and divine status were passed on to an unknown being as far as I know…

“No one. This is a truth you will never hear. It was only after leaving this world that I was able to take a peek into this part of the universe and reveal it-“

“…”

“A judge from another dimension. Lee Si-heon, and… My child’s lover. What will you do with Sephiroth and the will of the old legend?”

The dead eyes of the wise man pierced my lungs.

“How are you going to overcome it?”

“I can’t win with my own strength right now.”

“You admitted it yourself.”

“Even after taking all the crowns?”

The sage’s lower body, including her dress, disintegrated into particles and fluttered.

Perhaps sensing that her time was running out, she blew out her breath and gently closed her eyes.

“… Possible. Maybe. I don’t know. That you are human. Be aware.”

“I don’t know why everyone in high places is worried about my mental illness. “Does my face look like it’s gone that bad?”

“The soul. It’s falling apart. As much as I am now, you… “I have a faint soul that seems as if it will fade away at any moment.”

Knowledge I don’t know is always uncomfortable.

I want to proudly say no, but is there any room for doubt when the old man who died came back to life?

If you don’t know, you should be beaten with words.

I couldn’t shake off the bitter discomfort that it was not a topic to just laugh about.

“No matter how strong your heart is or how tough your spirit is like a weed… A soul that begins to collapse cannot recover. Especially if you gain other powers in this state.”

“That’s why I want to say-“

“You are human. Made from the weakest soul and matter.”

However, there is no way to go back or turn things around.

This means that you are already in the middle of a one-way street and there is no room to choose any other option.

My blunt mind tried to scare me by telling me to ignore it, but instead of showing it, I listened and relaxed my mind as much as possible.

“… At the end of the journey, in the future you created. There is a high possibility that you are not the only one.”

“I’m not protesting, but is there a chance that your daughter’s method, not mine, will succeed?”

The wise man shook his head lightly. Does this mean you don’t know? Does this mean it is impossible?

Either answer would not be a clear answer that would relieve my anxiety. This person also did not give an absolute answer to that question.

I said indifferently.

“… I know what you’re saying. “In other worlds, everything is healed, and I die.”

What are you asking? It’s been a long time since I made up my mind.

This is a sentence that has been repeated so many times that even thinking back on how many times I have said it seems boring and boring.

If you die, you die.

“The crown will disappear before we can all collect it. Even if it reaches the source just before extinction… In fact, almost nothing has been revealed about the imaginary existence of the origin. “If it puts a burden on your soul and spirit, even 10% of the weight of the crown.”

“Stop saying boring things.”

He interrupted the wise man’s words and shook off his arm. When my stamina returned, I lightly bent my neck and made the sound of my bones ring around me.

“Because I know everything. Just say what you want to say. “Is there something you want from me?”

“…”

“Please tell me clearly.”

“… There isn’t any. “What should I ask for and plead with you, the one who will cut off the wise man’s long contract and suffering?”

If you just wanted to talk about my own risk, I understand. How can I stop people from saying things that are disgusting but with good intentions?

“And, I don’t want you to make my daughter a widow-“

“… “I like it because it’s a bit honest.”

“Crush… ?”

“I also have a granddaughter. “Have you seen Wiki’s face?”

Nod. For the first time, a faint smile appeared on the woman’s face as she nodded lightly.

Wiki is very cute, smart, and cute.

Being cute is important, so I said it three times.

“Well, don’t worry. Mother-in-law. If you don’t die, shouldn’t you just let your part-time sister live?”

“…”

When she heard what I said, her eyes widened for a moment.

“Mother-in-law?”

Tap, tap, tap. He walked over and looked right in front of me with cold eyes.

Afterward, she stood on tiptoe for a moment. She stretched out her bloodless lips.

“For a moment-“

-Page.

He kissed her lips. The vitality that was in my body began to change in a different color.

“… ?”

“Everyone passed it. “It would be great if this widow’s life could be your last life.”

“Soul, is it?”

The wise man nodded and got down from his seat. There was still lukewarm warmth on my lips.

The body turns into powder and scatters again with a crackling sound.

By the time only the face was left floating.

The wise man glanced at the dimensional gap and slowly closed his eyes.

“Alba… The granddaughter’s name is Wiki… Wiki Qliphoth.”

When I was about to disappear while repeating the name of the last child I left behind.

-Shooooo!

A black shadow fell from the sky and trampled the wise man and hit his buttocks.

-Whoosh!

The soul of a wise man disappearing like a heap of ashes.

It felt like the final scene of a touching movie was completely ruined.

“Laugh, laugh, laugh.”

The being sent into the battlefield on behalf of the wise man who entrusted his fate is the dog Kapha!

“Siheon, Siheon! I successfully beat the ordeal! Compliment! It’s a compliment. V!”

Kafha, who was pounding the sage’s ashes with his butt, asked me for praise while nuzzling the bone in his mouth.

“… “What is that thing in your mouth?”

No matter how much I look like a puppy, I probably wasn’t really raised as a puppy.

Kafha, biting into a white bone with perfect curves like something out of a cartoon, twitched his cheeks and smiled brightly.

“Engahero, the bones of a bad old man. I’ll throw it to you, Siheon! “Garring, purring!”

… That was your ordeal after all.

Even though I felt relieved that I had overcome it without difficulty. When I saw Kafha with his ears pricked up, my first reaction was to ridicule.

“I earnestly ask for a pat on the head!”

“Okay, okay.”

Rumbling!

Kafha howled in excitement.
