Chapter 284 – 283. Chaos. Darkness, Light, Freedom (8)

“Huh, you bastard!”

Only then did Baal narrow his eyes and try to resist me, but there was no way that a mere fragment could reject my words.

Malignity.

These are the malignancies that must be eliminated.

Monsters are not evil, and humans are not good.

In the end, everything is chaos, and it is each individual’s free will to decide between good and evil.

And it is right that this evil that tries to control and shake the free will by misleading it will disappear.

“You arrogant idiot, I don’t know what you were planning to do with me, but you can’t influence Widi, so you can’t play with me. You can’t interfere with my will, and at the very least, you can’t control my creation. You won’t even be able to show that influence. Get out.”

Just-!

One finger snap.

And a shock wave explodes through it, and Baal flies away with the shock wave.

It’s so annoying I’m dying.

There is a lot to do, and the things that bother me are increasing.

Why the fuck are you doing this to me?

After throwing Baal away, I shook off my hands and then Ilias looked at me and said.

“…Aren’t you capable of prophecy?”

“It’s a prophecy. If you look at the collection of information, the statistics through it, the countless branches, and the current state, you know what to do and how to do it. But… Knowing that doesn’t change a person.”

“…”

“If there is a person who can give you the answer, but he has a set idea of ​​what to do and a set amount of effort… Will that person be able to find a [New] Path?”

“…!”

The Iliad does not make prophecies.

He did not make a prophecy, but simply told humans to live each day, every moment, competing fiercely and taking care of themselves.

“It’s like you didn’t make a prophecy. I search for the answer, I know countless answers, but when the disciple discovers something new and discovers the path, I don’t fix the path that leads to that path, I pioneer the path. It’s the student’s job to do it. Even if I know everything, it’s the same as telling you to be careful about safety and not giving you the answer, leaving you to find it yourself. If I tell you the answer, it’s just that and nothing new comes out.”

“…Someone might see that and see it as extorting the student’s knowledge.”

“It’s true that I collect it. Well, I give it away by improving it to make it easier to use, and Lorraine is the one who researches how her teacher changed her magic, and of course, that’s why she created the magic that allows me to copy Zeus. “This is the result.”

That’s why Yad Tatag couldn’t copy the magic of his disciples, and through it, I felt the wall once again.

What I can do is give you data on how I used it and see the possibilities of how it can be developed through that.

“So I don’t acknowledge these things. I closed out all possibilities, fixed the future with the word fate, and if these damn demons who appeared in front of me to bend them to their will do something like this to me one more time, I won’t hesitate to blow them away. I will.”

“Why didn’t you kill me, Clark?”

And Liz, who had been keeping quiet, asks me a question.

Why?

“Why do I do things because I like the Elder Gods?”

“…Is that thing coming to kill you?”

“Huh? No. That thing has already shown itself to me and buried a lot of my energy. With that, it will probably fix its form and if it wants to survive, it will have to stay locked up somewhere and hide.”

“…Isn’t that shitty?”

“It would be really fun if there was more shit going on here. It would be really terrible, right?”

“…”

The shattered sights around, Zeus: Yad Tatag. Clark: The process in which Yog-Sothoth destroys the Elven Guard after competing with each other, the continent’s crust is shattered, and Phyllis is reviving the trees.

If you look at this mess now, it directly showed what kind of mess it would be if a god and a monster like him fought, and they used it to really fuck up the Kanfs.

A fragment of the Demon God, or a part of it, has been resurrected, and if it is necessary to chase it down, it is still less dangerous than me, so you can just send out subordinates to chase it, or you can draw attention to it on the other hand.

It would be better if he came right away to seek revenge.

If you saved his life and he comes back and is being mean to you, there is no easier reason to kill him than that.

“How will you fail in the three-choice series? Will you be chased, will you hide, will you come back and die?”

If you ignore it, it’s okay to ignore it.

If he has a grudge against the Elder God, it’s okay, because he’s fucking with me right now and he’s gone. They were specifically thrown towards the [Holy Kingdom] On purpose, so if you want to survive there, you have to figure it out.

“…Did you just throw it towards the Holy Kingdom on purpose so they could search it?”

“I really like a quick-witted woman like you.”

“I’ve been seeing you for years.”

And…

Including Hestia, Lorraine, Carnesia, and Runius.

Finally, to Carnetia.

“…”

The way they look at me is still not very kind. Especially since there was a problem with Eris.

She is here, and Carnesia is in front of me.

And the water snake nestled next to her.

Even Elaim.

After taking care of all the survivors, all that’s left is to say goodbye before leaving for the Demon World.

“Have you taken care of all the survivors?”

“…That’s the way it is.”

“…I see. Well, then it would be better to leave this place empty for now.”

“…Shouldn’t we deal with the World Tree?”

“I will.”

A world tree writhing with half of it split.

The first tree planted by Ilias to create the source of the forest.

And that tree has to be removed from here.

It has already been contaminated and can no longer be revived.

If that thing continues, the minds of everyone around here will be polluted.

I don’t know when the elves’ minds became so polluted, but the thick energy of the star’s presence over there gradually turns them into madness and makes them commit unimaginable things.

“…Lilith.”

Although he only recognizes elves as the [Crop A] He grows, it is natural for him to be angry at the one who ruined his crop.

The heart of the high elves is called [Human Mandrake], Which will heal those who are near death.

And they’ve turned into a group and are waging war, so if that’s not something to be upset about, then why be upset?

Meanwhile, considering that the Dark Elves had resistance to it, it was probably instinctive to turn those that were not eroded by it into [Slaves].

Anyway, now is the time to get rid of the world tree that has become a nuisance.

“Um… Master?”

“Phyllis?”

And the moment I raised my hand to remove it, it was full of Keraunos: Astrape. Retrieving its magic power, it looks at Phyllis. Then, as I looked at Phyllis, she pointed to herself and asked me.

“I think I can purify that. Do you mind if I try?”

“…Purifying that thing?”

“Anyway, whether one of your servants or squires dies or not, isn’t that something to worry about?”

“…I’m only looking at you because it’s your first time, but don’t say that again next time. If you decide to be mine, your life is not yours. Remember, you can only die with my permission.”

And upon hearing those words, Phyllis lowers her head and her face blushes. She blushes as if she’s about to explode, but she takes a deep breath and says what she wants to say.

“…I think it’s worth a try. That child is crying. Please save him. Please save him.”

“…”

Nymph, yes, Phyllis, the forest nymph, hearing the voices of the trees. It’s not strange.

Please save me…

…

If trees had will, would they want to live?

“…There is no sin in the tree, right? It just releases what it has eaten. The distorted energy that someone forcibly fed and injected into it, the power of the star’s existence, and the power of the master were given to me. If so – I can purify it. Even if it’s impossible for the whole thing, I can save [Some] Of it and turn it into a sapling again.”

“Is that possible?”

Ilias asks Phyllis.

Her gaze narrows as she looks at Ilias. Although she didn’t look like she wanted to deal with me, she looked at me and quickly nodded her head in response.

“Yes, if it goes as expected. Please, help me help that child, master.”

“How can I help you…”

“Excuse me for a moment-“

No sooner had she finished speaking than Phyllis’s eyes turned bewitching, and she came towards me, and immediately crashed her lips against mine.

Side-

“Ahhh!?”

“Wait a minute, what are you doing, Phyllis!!! The employee told the owner-“

I feel like I’m losing some strength.

And with that feeling, a part of my power came into Phyllis, and Liz was startled next to her, and as if she couldn’t even hear Ilias throwing up his anger, Phyllis raised both her hands and planted them on the ground. .

I can feel the frozen ground digging in like tofu, strength gathering within it, and the roots of the trees moving.

Wait a minute.

The World Tree visibly wilts, and a sprout begins to sprout from as much dirt as Phyllis holds in her hands, which grows rapidly into a small seedling that grows again in Phyllis’s grasp.

“Ha, ha… That’s it, Master. With this, the child is now free.”

“…What is this-“

And after a while, Phyllis carefully wraps the lump of dirt lifted from his hand with her apron and hands it to Carnesia.

I nodded, and Carnesia accepted it.

And…

“…Uh?”

Changes begin to occur in Carnesia’s skin. The World Tree and its saplings begin to resonate with Carnesia, and Carnesia’s skin, the black dark elf-like skin, turns white.

Her silver hair became more brilliant silver, and it began to become difficult to tell whether she was a dark elf or an elf.

Ah, something like this.

“The World Tree is helping you become king, Carnesia.”

“…This…”

“Your traits changed. That sapling.”

Carnesia’s powers and traits are being readjusted by combining traits derived from those of her father, Alois Elven Guard, and dark elf traits.

-…Oh my god. Could this tree do something like this?

-Thanks to Clark’s power, the original function is finally functioning, Ellaim.

-Oh my god, why didn’t we know about this all this time?

-Even if we knew, what can we do about this water purifier?

-Clarke, I want to have a fierce fight with Sylphid right now, will you allow me?

“Don’t fight, just have sex.”

Why are you trying to fight here?

Naturally, after handing it over, Phyllis stumbled, probably from exhaustion, and when I tried to grab it, Liz ran over first and tried to grab Phyllis, and Phyllis just held her position. And Liz catches Phyllis again as she tries to head towards me.

“…”

“…Tsk.”

Somehow, it seems like memories have been created between those two without knowing it.

My sister is looking at me with amusement, and Ilias is clinging to my back.

And…

“…Master, it seems like your relationship with Ilias has improved again.”

“It was always good, right?”

“…Originally… Huhuhuhuhu… Really? Master, I heard you used the magic I created well. Can I also ask for compensation for this?”

“Well, I’ll give you some time later. But… If that’s the case, be prepared.”

“…Uh, really?”

“Are you sure you’re not prepared to do that, you stupid disciple?”

“You said ddppang again!!”

Calling me Ddeppang is, in its own way, an expression of affection. Yeah, if you’re not close, you don’t call me that.

“…Look forward to it, I will definitely become your teacher!”

“…You have to win over Leeds first, right?”

“Huhuhuhuhu…”

“Huhuhuhuhu…”

…

And behind the scenes, my sister is also smiling.

Oh, come to think of it, my sister and Liz are also like this in many ways…

“…Huh, Clark?”

Carnesia’s anxious eyes turn to me.

A sapling of her World Tree came into her grasp, and her World Tree chose her, whitewashing her into a form worthy of her Queen of Elvenheim… No, she was somehow originally High. It was transformed into the characteristics that elves had.

I personally liked Carnesia, who was a black-skinned dark elf, better, but there was no way those fucking Karnf bastards would accept her if she wasn’t in her current form.

The existing Dark Elves would know how Carnetia was treated and what a difficult life she lived, and there is also Carnetia.

The current Carnetia is looking at Carnetia and making an indescribable expression.

“Why.”

“…Can I have this?”

“The new queen of Elvenheim plants a world tree, and that place becomes Elvenheim. Then she leaves the human dwelling, goes to the Demon World, plants it, and makes that place her new home. There is a holy kingdom next door, so those bastards will somehow get away with it. “They will try to kill you. They say the elves will become stronger only if there is a backup from the World Tree?”

“…That-“

“Of course, it will take quite some time to become as strong as before. For that tree to fully grow, it will take over 100 years.”

“…”

“I’ve blown most of you away, and I’ll do the same if the same thing happens to this, but at least – if I give you this power, if you’re given supremacy once again, the person standing on top of it is someone I know. “I hope you get through this wisely.”

“…”

“…Ah, yes, that’s right. To be honest, I’m asking someone who can communicate well with me and ask them to do it. In the first place, I’m a sucker for taking care of flowers and trees. Those who know how to do it should do it, so what can I do?”

“It suits you better than talking back, Clark.”

“That’s my charm.”

“…Yes, that’s your charm. When you have to say something, you say it without hiding it or turning it around.”

Knock-

And a sapling of the World Tree.

Something falls from the leaf of a nearby sapling, and Carnesia catches it.

At a glance, it has enormous magical power, and it is also a concentration of spatial movement power.

And that it is a gift from the World Tree to me.

“…I took a quick look, and it’s a teleportation scroll that can be used almost semi-permanently.”

“…Well, master. The boy told me to use it.”

“…Uh, this is-“

And when I see the branches of the World Tree shaking, I guess that’s true.

“…If you ask me to come someday, there’s no reason I won’t be able to come. If you want to do that, wouldn’t it be better to prepare the area first?”

“…That’s right. In order to deal with things that don’t listen, and get help in many ways, so that the survivors can live again.”

“So, I’ll give you a person. No, I don’t know if it can be called a person, but it will be treated as a common [Monster] In the demon world.”

“Who-“

“Paragon.”

“Yes, my king.”

Then the Paragon comes in front of me, and I give the Paragon instructions.

“Until I specifically give orders, your commanding authority is Carnesia. Let her assist you with all her sincerity in doing her bidding.”

“I will follow your orders, king.”

The Elder Brain Paragon, and attaches her to her Carnesia. Even if I’m not a Paragon, I have no problem handling star spawn, but if I give the star spawn colony to Carnesia, Carnesia will be in big trouble.

So she gives him control over her, and she gives him command of hers.

“… If her life and sanity are lost, she will regret ever living, Paragon.”

“…I will serve you with all my heart.”

A clear warning was given, and there was no problem with Paragon receiving orders.

And-

I accepted the leaf that Carnetia gave me, and she also stood in front of the door to the demon world that Carnetia opened and spoke to me.

“…Next time, we can meet again, right?”

“I plan to visit the demon world someday, so please ask for it then.”

I’m curious about how different it will be in the future compared to when I went there 7 years ago for a simple assassination.

If you go there for peaceful purposes rather than fighting, what kind of place will it be?

A new demon world that Withy had been trying so hard to create. And the [Demon King] Who is not ruled by the new demon world and demon gods, and the demons that follow the demon king.

I am curious about what kind of change they will bring about, but I suppress those feelings and open the door to what I have to do now.

“One day, when we meet again, Carnesia, you will stand before me as a more dignified queen than now. And as a friend, for the sake of the relationship you have in mind.”

“…What are you talking about, Clark!!”

Well, maybe you should ask your own heart about that.

…

Well, that’s good.

“…”

Carnetia looks at me for the last time and bows to me. What will the relationship between those two be like? And what will happen to the matter between me and Carnetia yet?

Plus,

Eris and Luffy were left behind in the territory of Carlos.

…

There are a lot of things I have to deal with that are more urgent to resolve right now.

The forest will recover naturally over time.

The forest residents who ran away will also find their place on their own.

We will return to the original forest, not the forest ruled by the elves. This too.

And…

All that’s left now is to heal the wounds.

“…I feel so relieved after destroying a country.”

“It’s a coincidence, not only for you, but for me too. Is this what I’m thinking about?”

Liz, it’s only natural that she’s a famous Canf hater, and the rest…

Numerous Spartans, including Leonidas, and Lorraine, Liz, and Elizabeth, including Hestia.

Even Phyllis.

And Phyllis looked at me with her slightly tired-looking eyes, and at the same time, Liz also turned her gaze to Phyllis.

Even now, the fact that I am holding on to Phyllis is like an unspoken warning from her not to approach her carelessly.

…

Well, Liz had this side to her, but she nevertheless pushed her to talk to her sister.

In its own way, it showed that Liz was soft on her younger sister.

“…Master, did I do well?”

“Well done.”

“…Becoming a dealer to remove the source of pain, Master, what on earth did you teach Phyllis?”

“You poor disciple, if you blame your teacher for achieving such success, does that mean you have no faith in your teacher?”

“Wow, if you really open your mouth, they’ll call you ddppang.”

Hehe, the teacher is so angry when you say that. If I were the teacher, I would never have left you alone, right?”

“…Let’s go~ You two, relax, relax~ It’s time to go now, right?”

Iliad, and…

Mortus.

She came here to her.

Opening the portal to the Eastern Frontier Territory, I feel Liz grab my collar and strike first.

“I’m tired. I’m not going to give a speech.”

“Tch. Can’t you see the look in everyone’s eyes as they wait for your speech?”

“Ah, I can’t see it.”

“…”

“Ahh, I got it! I got it!!! Really, I’m in a hurry-“

“…So it goes back even further.”

“…”

“You’re still [Clarke], At least to me, and to all of us. So, don’t forget that. And it’s kind of fun to do something like this, isn’t it? I can tell you’re enjoying it.”

“Wow.”

I can’t stop you.

Realizing that I still haven’t quite figured out my identity, I’m trying to make him do this ridiculous thing again.

Really…

What can I do?

If the woman you love wants it, you should hang out with her.

“Spartan!!!”

“Waaaaah-!!!”

No matter how many times I go, I have to do this.
