Chapter 151 – 151 – Hyde #1

151 – Hyde #1

When a person is truly sad-.

This was the first time I realized that I couldn’t even breathe.

I held Milione and paused for a while.

I couldn’t bear the warmth leaving Milione’s body.

Milione at any moment-.

I felt like I was going to wake up saying “I’m suffocating-.” But-.

I wondered if all this was a dream, but the warmth of Milione, who was gradually cooling down, was so vivid, and I hated it.

“Milli…”

Slurp-.

I laid Milione’s body down on the cold stone floor.

The dress she was wearing was dyed red, as if a rose had bloomed.

She had always clenched her fists out of anger, but now I saw that Milione’s hands had unusually thin and long fingers.
When I think about it now, I have never even held this hand properly.

“Milione.”

Zek-.

I held Milione’s hands neatly together.

“I’ll be leaving soon too. To hell where you are.”

Slurp-.

I stamped the blood on the floor with the particularly white glove of my left hand and made a round band with my ring finger.

I thought it was a ring that suited me very well.

She was truly as beautiful as a new bride on a spring day.

“…”

There were many things I wanted to say.

There were so many things that came to mind that I felt like I couldn’t handle it.

I knew what I had to do from now on.

It shows.

A hot flame that will burn the whole world down.

“—I didn’t like this world from the beginning. “This damn world, with ugly and terrible sinners rolling around in disgusting filth and vomit.”

Now my eyes searched the twelfth room, where destruction sleeps.

I existed alone in a place where no one could enter.

Cold stone floor.

Dark stone wall.

Torches burning sparsely.

“…”

As I looked around, I saw something.

It was placed near Milione and was something that particularly caught my eye.

Dalgak-.

I picked it up from the floor.

“Coin…”

It was a coin.

It was a copper coin that looked crude and had many scratches from long-term use.

I was very familiar with this.

Because this coin was mine.

It was the coin I threw over the 12th door.

However, there was something puzzling.

The 12th door I encountered must have been the Holy Father’s Office in Barakhan.

However, this place was located in the basement of the royal palace on the royal road, located very far away from there.

How is this possible?

There was only one hypothesis that could come to mind.

A place located beyond the 12th Gate.

It was the same place no matter what region it was in.

I didn’t know if such a thing was physically possible.

And that’s it, it’s good now.

“Because it’s a ridiculous place. I’m sure you can do crazy things.”

I was planning on doing something crazy in the future.

With that in mind, I walked, leaving Milione behind.

Endless corridors of endless stone walls.

So much so that I can’t even tell how long I walked.

So much so that I can’t think of anything else other than walking.

How far I walked-.

When I couldn’t even tell where I was heading-.

Finally, a flickering light appeared before my eyes.

At the end of that hallway, something flickered like a dying star.

When I arrived there, I took a deep breath.

Even now that I think about it, what I saw before my eyes was something very strange.

It was a plaza so large that it had never been seen before in the world.

I couldn’t tell how high the ceiling was, and I couldn’t even guess how wide it was on the left and right.

This was supported by a very large and tall pillar of light.

Bridge of light heading to heaven-.

If there were a gate to heaven, wouldn’t it look like this?

It was so dazzling that I had to frown.

Of course, this wasn’t going to be that romantic.

That’s because there was no way a bridge to heaven would appear in front of me.

This was the ‘opposition’.

It’s terrible.

It was painful.

Gooooo─.

Oh oh oh oh oh─.

As if to support my thoughts, the pillar of light was emitting a sound so loud that it split my ears.

It was the loudest sound I’ve ever heard in my life.

It sounded like all kinds of people were screaming at the same time.

“Hyde. The world is noisy because of you. A priest who lost the woman he loved and eventually gave up due to her despair. “I already know the face of someone who walked into hell on his own.”

It was then.

Someone said to me.

It was unmistakably a human voice.

I turned my head to the voice that seemed so out of place in this place.

Then I saw a priest holding a staff standing in front of a huge pillar.

Priest Arud Gregory.

He told me.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

# # #

Arud Gregory was standing in front of the pillar of light.

Since when did it start standing?

I even had the feeling that he had been waiting for me here for a very long time.

Arud Gregory said.

“Hyde. Did you know that the earth is round? Do you know that the Earth, which is as round as a ball, moves around some ‘standard’?”

“…”

“Don’t be surprised. This land, this Earth’s axis of rotation! It’s the reference point for everything. Isn’t it very awesome? “When I first saw this, I was so moved that I didn’t mind fasting for a week!”

Earth’s rotation axis.

I couldn’t believe that I was facing such an absurd thing, and it felt like a lie.

“Purple. This magnificent appearance! It is said that the kings of Uniger gathered this light to create the king’s triad. Well, it’s just like a fairy tale from a long time ago.”

Priest Gregory was a man full of lies.

I knew it well.

Because he and I are the same type.

Priest Arud Gregory.

His face was hidden from view by the brilliance of the halo shining on the back of his head.

I asked him.

“Aren’t you dead?”

“In fact, I have never truly died. It will continue to be like that. You can only hide the truth. I have that power. “It’s the power to hide what you want.”

“So, Gregory, do you mean this is the power of a king?”

The reference point reached at the end.

I became curious.

“What on earth are you doing here?”

Gregory’s death.

How much confusion it caused.

If he was responsible for the war and chaos, he would also have a large stake.

If he were to claim payment for Milione’s blood, he would have a lot of money.

But I swallowed my words.

What was needed now was not to ask desperate questions, but to find out what this place was.

Soon Gregory looked at the pillar of light and said.

“Kings are not made. He is born. And the prince so chosen can convey his will to the world by contacting this axis of rotation.”

“The will in the world… ?”

“That is why he is called king. If I, who has the power, say to this standard, think of heaven as earth. All mankind and living things will think of heaven as earth.”

“Does that mean that if we die for that standard, everyone will die?”

“No. Such things will not be tolerated. This axis of rotation is like the will of all living things; it has the will to protect and supplement itself. Very strong. That’s why I’m having a hard time too. However, if you were born with the destiny of a true emperor, you would also be able to announce the destruction of all lives.”

“Ah─.”

I felt like my mind was clear.

What existed beyond the 12th gate was indeed destruction itself.

It meant that the blood that Milione shed was never in vain.

“Hyde. I’ve known for a long time that you would come here. It was already a set procedure from the time you were born. You were destined to betray everyone and hurt everyone. “I hoped not to do that, but.”

“…”

“Because I was born that way. Hyde, you asked me this before. Why do humans sin, why do they feel sad, why do they blush and get angry at each other? Because it is born.”

Zek-.

Gregory stretched out his hand toward me.

“When humans are born, they meet each other, grieve, and become engulfed in more misfortune than necessary. Birth. That is the beginning of all original sin that strangles humanity.”

Just being in this place filled my mind with so much information.

I couldn’t tell how much of Gregory’s words were false.

He was the most incredible type of human being in the world.

Just like me.

That’s why I knew.

That he is discussing the most lying truth.

“What. I guess it’s good.”

Pang-.

When Gregory struck his staff on the floor, a huge pattern appeared on the floor.

It was a star with six horns.

Gregory and I stood in the center of the six horns.

I felt like the blood in my whole body was boiling and the hair on my head stood on end.

But for some reason he couldn’t lift a finger.
Gregory said to me.

“You were born to be a king. But unfortunately, I want to erase the king’s existence from this world. Actually, I should have saved my strength for about 5 more years, but—.”

Gooooo-.

Everything began to shout and shine.

I felt like I was going to be blinded by the brilliance emanating from Gregory’s halyard.

“I will erase ‘birth’ from this world. Before that, Hyde, let me tell you about yourself. Or you could talk about the boy I hid from the world about 20 years ago.”
