Chapter 505 – Heaven Is Always on My Side (3)
Starting with the heart of the noble ruler, Rahim begins to continuously devour the body of God.
As if allowing blood and flesh wasn’t just a simple phrase, the parts that Rahim had eaten did not regenerate.
However, that much divine power and evil will began to take root directly in Rahim’s body. No, Rahim’s goal is to swallow up the noble reign and use it as his own power.
Since he has to absorb the body he receives into his body rather than purify or expel it, he cannot help but be directly affected beyond just settling in.
Countless deaths and extinction of civilization. And the terrible pain of betrayal. However, someone’s voice urges us to accept this as it is all fate.
He was born more noble than anyone else and was loved by everyone, but all that remains at the end is a desire for revenge fueled by evil.
The being that encompassed the world had no choice but to become noble, and the greatness that was so praised began to be called arrogance.
It’s a series of intense scenes and emotions without a precise ending… Still, Rahim was confident.
All of this that I feel now is the despair and distortion of a noble reign, and speaks of the final goal.
I felt like I was being crushed by the weight of those intense emotions and memories accumulated over thousands of years. After only one bite, Rahim’s mind was in half tatters.
But. Nevertheless. Rahim did not break down and did not stop.
Flora’s last words. A confession that she loved Rahim and called him a warrior. That strong memory held Rahim captive.
Because he is a hero. I have to answer Flora’s confession. Rahim, whose indomitable will is fueled by only that single thought.
Even if pitch-black divine power blooms from his body and covers his entire body, even if voices whispering about the futility of this world come from a distant void.
Rahim didn’t give up. One bite. And another bite. He slowly but surely pushed the noble reign into his stomach.
Hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. And it was probably possible because there was a guidepost that guided Rahim even in his foggy mind.
Rahim continues his penance with no end in sight, using the soft light of the holy sword and the warmth of Flora, which has not yet dissipated, as a lamp.
Hundreds of years passed within the seal.
Rahim’s body and mind, as well as his sparkling soul, were stained black and devastated… He still hasn’t lost his mind.
Eat mechanically, hold on, and eat again. It will not stop until the moment it devours the entire body of its noble ruler.
It was already a realm of madness.
A person does not necessarily have to be affected by the power of an evil spirit to be affected. Rahim is clearly sane, and it was his own will…
A blind belief that if only they could eat up the noble reign, if only they could destroy the world, then they could overturn the rules and return to the past.
His obsession reached the border of outright madness.
The combination of his mission as a warrior and his longing to see his lover again made it so clear that Rahim was rotting away.
Rahim’s face, which already showed only fatigue, began to become even more expressionless. To be more precise, I would say that he is becoming heartless.
Rahim doesn’t feel pain even if he swallows his noble reign at some point.
The spiritual power and emotions of a noble reign. And of course, he didn’t even flinch from the memory… I began to feel indifferent to the repeated death of Flora.
It’s as if it doesn’t matter what happens in front of his eyes, because if he goes back to the past, everything will never have happened.
Rahim was becoming increasingly broken, but his achievements were clear. Before he knew it, he had eaten most of the noble ruler’s body and used that enormous divine power as his own.
And then I ran into Rebecca.
Is this because most of the objects that were sealed have been ripped off? Or was it because Rahim, the subject of the seal, was becoming increasingly crazy?
A small crack appeared in Rahim’s seal, and he made eye contact with Rebecca, who came to inspect the seal beyond it.
A former colleague I thought I would never see again. But at that moment, what Rahim felt was gratitude and regret. Or, it wasn’t that I was at a loss as to how to explain this situation.
Bother.
Talking about things with Rebecca, getting into fights, and explaining the situation. This is because it was all a meaningless act for Rahim now.
If you turn back time anyway, wouldn’t it be like it never happened? So Rahim decided to tie up Rebecca for a while. Because it was the simplest way to use a seal.
Rebecca said Rahim didn’t seem to want to kill her colleague, and she was hopeful that maybe he wasn’t completely crazy… Now I see it was a vain hope.
Anyway, for that reason, Rahim tried to tie Rebecca to her seal and imprison her for a while, but we intervened and took Rebecca away.
If Rebecca is informed of the situation inside her seal, she will naturally make various attempts to stop Rahim.
For Rahim, who has not yet completely finished his reign, this will only increase the number of troublesome things.
So Rahim swallowed the remaining body of the noble ruler in one go.
Without chewing it properly or having time to digest its power, he stuffed it into his body.
Originally, when he was exposed to enormous divine power, his reason was broken, and he collapsed due to the inability to maintain the seal, the noble reigning spirit would have taken over Rahim’s empty body.
Rahim solved this problem by expanding the seal rather than lifting it.
In any case, since he continues to stay inside the seal, the reason is that he can suppress Gohan’s reign and fight in an environment favorable to external interference.
Of course, as if it wasn’t enough, the divine power of noble reign overflowed from Rahim’s body. A coat of pitch-black energy appears to have been created by tearing out the darkest part of the darkness one by one.
Rahim’s skin was still intact, but the situation was very similar to his noble reign.
Even though Rahim was shocked that he felt something here… Soon, Rahim sighs when he sees the holy sword in one hand.
“Ah… Is it.”
Although Rahim had become infinitely closer to an evil god, the holy sword was still shining brightly in his hands, dispersing divine power.
Rahim raises the holy sword towards the dark, empty sky and watches quietly.
A peerless weapon created by pouring in the essence of the five good gods. And the best comrade in arms who always silently supported him.
A holy sword that illuminates Rahim’s path with an unchanging light from the time he was first recognized as a warrior, to the time he defeated the evil spirit, and even now that he has become infinitely closer to the evil spirit.
The corners of Rahim’s mouth rose slightly at the familiar sight. This is the first expression he has made in hundreds of years after being expressionless for a long time.
“Heaven was always on my side.”
I am not wrong. It’s like something you say to yourself. As a voice mixed with relief and determination rang out, the seal expanded and soared to the ground.
And so we arrive at the present.
Paang!
At the same time as the feeling of something being pushed away, the density felt around me changed. It means escaping the distortion of space and time.
In an empty space like the last time I saw it. My companions and I were looking straight ahead with confused eyes, probably seeing the same thing.
An expressionless man wearing darkness like a coat, holding the corpse of a beautiful elf in one hand and a shining holy sword in the other.
His inorganic brown eyes glanced at us. Then he opened his mouth in a hoarse and cracked voice.
“I will only ask you once. As you can see, my goal is to destroy the world, break the rules, and return to the past. “Not everyone needs to die in the process.”
“Are you going to tell me not to interfere because I will save your life?”
“Right. We are willing to accommodate all of you, as well as a few more people if they wish. The righteous light may take a little while, but… Although she is a major axis of this world, if all believers disappear, she will no longer be able to function as an axis. “It may be a bit of a hassle, but I will accept it.”
“… First of all, let me ask you, if that person returns, what will happen to the remaining people?”
“Of course it will disappear. But don’t worry. “The world itself will be rewound, and it will be over in an instant, without any sense of pain or fear, or even any premonitory symptoms.”
“…”
Isn’t this crazy? It’s a question like do you want to fight right now, or do you want to live a little longer and die comfortably?
If Rahim had absorbed the power of his noble reign, a few years would have been enough to destroy the continent of Aurelia.
There, I am an alien spirit brought by Fafnir because Rahim failed to properly deal with the evil spirit.
If Rahim returns and makes everything right, I won’t have to be called in. Many other things will change, so my women born after the War of the Gods may not be born again.
It’s like a time-limited sentence was handed down out of nowhere. Who would nod calmly in this situation? If you’re going to die anyway, you should fight first.
Haven’t we lived like that and overcome that way until now? I shouldn’t have accepted Rahim’s offer, even if it was for the happy ending I wanted.
Was it because I felt like someone was trying to steal my future? The dragon’s instincts responded, and a growl naturally flowed from deep in its throat.
“Refuse…”
“Hold on a minute, Student Yandel! “Just give me a moment to talk!”
Rebecca interrupts me. Even I could not help but pause at the look on her face, betrayed by her long-standing trust and love.
Rebecca tried to suppress her boiling magic and took a step back, but then Rebecca stepped forward that much.
“Rahim. A lot happened while you were locked up in the seal. “The Yandel student here killed all the remaining evil spirits and cultists, and the curved leisure that fell from heaven returned as a surging blue.”
“Is it.”
“Huh. And we can bring Flora back to life. In the grand scheme of things, the method is similar to a noble rule, but do you really think I would manipulate you, Rahim? There is also a Yandel student who is trying to revive him, so feel free to join Flora as well…”
“No.”
Rahim, who interrupted Rebecca, continued speaking in a stern tone.
“It’s just a soulless doll. “This is not Flora, who kissed me and told me she loved me.”
“Rahim… ! Are you going to set the world on fire again? Even though all the evil spirits have already disappeared?!”
“Didn’t you say that earlier? This is your last warning, Rebecca. Get out of my way. “Otherwise, I’ll cut you down too.”
At those words, tears welled up in Rebecca’s eyes.
“You… How could you do that to me! “For some reason, I’ve been able to survive for 300 years without being able to die!”
“So, you liked me… I get it. When I go back to the past, I will accept not only Flora’s heart but also your heart. So, finish this life with peace of mind.”
“… !”
No matter how much Rebecca was speechless at Rahim’s answer just moments ago, she chewed her lip and opened her eyes.
He lightly tapped her on the shoulder and stepped forward again to continue what he had left to say.
“Refuse. I will kill you and preserve this world. “This is the world I will live in.”
“… Is that what happens in the end? “It’s a foolish choice.”
“Why are you talking like it’s someone else’s business? “You too made the same foolish choices when fighting against evil spirits and resisting the temptation of noble rule.”
A faint positive smile appears on Rahim’s lips at my words.
“That is correct. But remember.”
Rahim’s holy sword aimed at this direction shined brightly.
“Still, heaven is on my side.”
A warrior was a warrior even if he went crazy, and the miracle in his hands still defends him.
But what does that mean? Solari, who boasts the highest power among the heavenly gods, is my wife!
“Solari! “Recover the divine power that resides in Rahim and the divine power that went into the holy sword!”
“I can’t do it?!”
What?
