Reaper to prepare (1)

A ruin covered with silence.

In a place filled with only the corpses of demons, without hearing any sound, the emperor looked at the empty space in silence.

Thinking of those who had been there just now, and who had now fled to Helios.

-That’s not like you.

Suddenly, a light rose beside him.

Brilliant brilliance that did not match the dark ruins.

The Singularity made its appearance and spoke in an accusatory tone.

-Why did you send them?

“·······.”

His power is strong enough to cover all dimensions, and the ‘mind control’ he completed in the past will surely be superior to Kang Yoo-jin in the present.

Even so, the emperor could not prevent their flight.

It was because Kang Yoo-jin’s mental control covered his eyes, even for a moment.

“…wasn’t expecting it.”

Kang Yoo-jin’s growth was faster than the emperor expected.

Nearly two years had passed since Raniakea revived him, and the process of acquiring the culture of the central dimension and embodied it as his own was fast enough to transcend imagination.

Kang Yoo-jin, who acquired the knowledge of ‘Circle’ and ‘magic’ at the same time as regaining the status he had attained in his lifetime, eventually created the ‘source’ and ascended to the position of the Constellation himself.

too fast.

This was a number that even the emperor could not have expected.

‘It’s a gap that you, alone, can never catch up to.’

“I am alone… am I?”

Feeling the question, the emperor found the answer in Kang Yu-jin’s answer.

Destiny.

everything that sustains him.

Kang Yu-jin’s rapid growth was finally possible because of them, the emperor accepted.

‘It’s meant to be…’

There was a time when such a thing happened to the emperor as well.

Those days when I shared my feelings with someone and built a bond.

And, the days when everything was dotted with deception.

So he killed everyone.

They broke up the relationship that started with lies, and willingly shed their blood on these hands.

Because he considered it a legitimate revenge.

“But why are you?”

have you forgiven them?

Just as I was deceived with my life, you will be no different.

The questions that have been answered give rise to new questions, and the emperor seeks answers once again in his life, which is the same but different.

He just wanted an answer.

——I had high expectations of me, but I guess I was wrong.

“What are you talking about?”

──It means that I didn’t think of it as a vessel that troubled me so much.

The singularity said that he knew something.

His purpose is balance.

It is his purpose to balance the world through war.

However, he could not go out in front of the world directly, so he needed a substitute to represent him.

Those who have replaced his task through countless years.

The world called them ‘Emperors’, and to Singularity, Emperors were the beings who valued balance above all else.

That’s why the current emperor didn’t suit his taste.

—Even if you shoulder the task, are you still looking for your answer?

“·······.”

-Keep in mind. Who gave you a second chance and who can take it away.

The eternal cycle of reincarnation connecting the world to the world must continue endlessly.

He whispered in the ear of the agonizing emperor.

“…Yes. That’s ‘your’ purpose. You chose me for that.”

Suddenly, the voice that came out was heavy.

His expression was cold, and it evoked an ominous feeling by embracing gloomyness.

The emperor then turned around and stared at the light of the singularity with blood-red eyes.

“I’ve been thinking all along. Is this role really suitable for me?”

He put the revolver he was holding into his waistband.

“As a result, your choice is wrong. I am also not the type to follow someone’s orders.”

-Are you serious?

“I am always sincere.”

A soft voice.

To the singularity, it was a voice that contained ominousness.

“I have an answer to seek.”

I’ve been looking for it for a long time, and I’m still looking for the answer.

The nameless emperor of the destroyed world still harbored such a will in his heart.

“Keeping the balance that makes up the world… It’s a very noble belief. It’s intention to harmonize the birth of stars and monsters is very sacred even at first glance.”

That was the will of the being called the Singularity.

This old existence, created in the distant past, at the beginning of time, was balancing light and darkness through the war between the Constellation and the Witchbeast.

From a macro perspective, his actions must have been the best way to prevent the indiscriminate birth of stars and the endless expansion of darkness.

“However, there is one blind spot in your will.”

he laughs

“That’s you, the premise that the singularity must exist.”

Your own sacrifice is out of the question.

Because I will remain for a long time, and I must keep the balance in the future.

It may seem like a noble role to play a villain, but the emperor’s interpretation was different.

He was just a cowardly hypocrite who didn’t want to be a villain.

Just like many, many villains did.

He is nothing more than a banal villain.

Kwadeuk-

He reached out and grabbed the Singularity’s light that was about to move away.

───What are you doing?

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Why should I balance you?”

Power goes into the hand holding the singularity.

Magi rose up, beginning to suppress his existence.

“I thought, and I gave an answer.”

That was the ultimatum the emperor gave to the singularity.

“That means it has nothing to do with me.”

—You bastard…!

The light of the singularity radiated intensely.

The bursting brilliance engulfed all directions, digging into the ‘source’ that made up the emperor.

A dog that bites its owner must be killed.

He intended to rip out the source he once gave to the Emperor.

“It’s like…”

However, the Singularity’s light did not reach its source.

Rather, the soaring magi began to suppress the power of the singularity.

—What…what did you do!

“Did you know that while you sealed me… I was just playing around?”

A long war between demons and mankind.

Among them, the emperor did not appear on the battlefield, but instead sent them out in place of the corps commander.

It wasn’t just because he was immobile.

“Partly because I didn’t have to step out, but also because I needed time to do something else in the meantime.”

Where is the singularity?

His body is located on the other side of a distant dimension, at the bottom of a simcheo called the record.

An unknown world that no one can look into and cannot read the information about.

However, ‘Kang Yu-jin’ eventually succeeded in finding out the truth there and calculating the chaotic magic of the record.

And if Kang Yu-jin was able to do it, there was no law saying he couldn’t do it with the emperor.

“My mind control already encompasses the whole world. Not only Helios, but also the abyss of the record where your body resides.”

He stretched out his hand holding the singularity toward the sky.

A point in the dark sky without a single star.

It was exactly the direction the record was.

“There you are.”

As he tugged at his arm, a dimension from across the vast universe began to pull toward Pandaemonium.

The giant demon became a rake and captured the world of singularity.

Even the singularity was astonished at the ridiculous power that pulled the whole world together.

-Stop.

The Singularity shouted, and the Emperor ignored it.

-I told you to stop!

“Oh, the light of the beginning.”

The record, which has been dragged all the way to the end, gets stuck into the abyss of the dimension and finally starts to sink.

The core of the record, the main body of the singularity, was within reach.

“You talk too much.”

─Kangyu…!

The emperor’s demonic energy devoured the singularity.

The light sank into his endless darkness, never to reveal itself again.

He smiled twistedly, feeling the immense power that had been swallowed up.

“I am a being who seeks answers.”

I’ve been searching all my life, and I’m still looking for an answer.

Yujin Kang.

The trajectories of our two lives, which are the same yet different.

The reason for this difference, I want to find out from you.

“I will see you soon.”

*

We opened up space with Lapless’ warp and safely arrived at Helios.

Thanks to her clumsy handling of the magic of time and space, a stomach-churning nausea came over her, which she struggled to endure, but the rest were unable to do so and were rolling on the floor.

“Ugh… I’m dying…”

“Professor Lapless… is this the best…”

“It’s noisy···.”

It wasn’t enough to break through the abyss of the dimension, they were all exhausted from the ultra-long distance crossing from end to end of the dimension.

But it didn’t last long.

All of them, including me, smelled the smoky smell of burnt smoke rising up around me.

“This smell…”

“I can feel demonic energy in the air.”

It was an aura that should not be felt in Helios.

The sky we looked up at was cloudy, as if it were overcast, but we soon realized that it wasn’t because of the clouds.

That is the smoke created by something burning.

“I need to go check it out quickly.”

“Yes.”

I raised my magic and lightly calmed their metabolism.

Driven by a sense of nausea, we hurriedly escaped the forest we had been moved to, and stepped out into the plaza where Helios could be seen.

The moment we made our way out through the dense forest of the garden, we were at a loss for words.

“Oh My God···.”

Helios… is burning.

Flames and smoke cover all sides, and screams from the witch beast fill the entire school.

And from the other side of the sky I looked up at, I could see the clash of white and black beings adorning the space of the outer dimension.

The high-ranking Witchbeast and the Constellation were fighting.

“How did this happen…”

“·······.”

It was expected, but the shock I actually saw was greater than I was prepared for.

I took Skadi’s hand, which was shaking with shock.

“uh···?”

“Look at me.”

He looked into her purple eyes and said.

“You just have to trust me.”

“·······.”

Her tremors gradually lessen.

His pale face regained its color, and a bright red blush appeared before he knew it.

As soon as she lowered her gaze, she nodded.

“Are you in a good mood?”

“Does that really have to be the case under these circumstances?”

“Noisy.”

I defeated the two smirking and stepped forward.

Calmly read the situation and judged what to do.

After thinking about it in an instant, I told them.

“First, we focus on finding professors and evacuating students. It’s not too late to fight later.”

The emperor had regained all of his original strength, and it seemed that the strength of the two remaining corps commanders had also increased greatly because of that.

Perhaps even if the Allied Forces and the Constellations both attacked, they might not be able to win.

Skadi said, squeezing my hand.

“Do we have a chance?”

I looked at Skadi and everyone at the question that was quietly thrown.

“We’ve always been out of luck.”

As if telling the obvious truth, he recited it like that.

“But, I always win.”

So it’s just winning this time.

“Follow me.”

To everyone who sees me, I conveyed such an obvious truth.

“I will lead you to victory.”

Their blank eyes were on me.

For some reason, I felt as if my eyes were slightly opened.

“…Really. I think I know why the kids like the professor.”

“Is that so.”

Roshua, who suddenly came to her senses, made a foolish noise.

After that, Skadi, who came to her senses, grumbled with a sullen face.

“…Isn’t that kind of a foul play?”

“It’s cool and nice. Professor Skadi is nice too.”

“Oh no!”

“·······.”

It’s nice to see him getting along with Laflis, but I can’t afford that right now.

I loaded the revolver I got back from Laflis and led the way toward the school.

“But is it really okay?

Skadi, who had followed him, was chattering.

indeed. A professor in charge of pure theory?

However, its tail wags wildly, so even if it pretends to be solemn, it’s just cute.

“The Emperor said. He preceded me.”

He recalled what he had arrogantly said.

It was a voice full of conviction beyond confidence, but he was wrong.

He is not a god, and it is impossible to know everything in the world.

“I’ll show you he’s wrong.”

Originally, I was called ‘the preparer’.

And that is the nickname given to me by a witch who is not anyone else.

The moment I thought I hadn’t prepared anything, that would be their failure.

I raised my head and looked at the sky.

Towards my Constellation over there.

I waited for the moment when my preparations would bear fruit.

the distant outskirts of the dimension

A woman stepped on the ‘floor boundary’ that forms the boundary of the Earth dimension.

Her entire body was bruised as a result of forcibly breaking through the barrier of the angels surrounding the earth, but the woman’s face had a more proud smile than ever before.

“I did it…!”

Her green eyes twinkled like stars beneath her silky purple hair.

Kaya, who succeeded in breaking through the barrier, let out a silent cheer.

“Heung! Of course it works.”

She looked back at the hometown she had left.

Patrick, Wolfgang, and Angela.

None of them thought that they would be able to leave the Earth isolated by the barrier of angels.

Kaya, who said she had seen Yujin Kang and had to go find her, was dismissed as nonsense and tried to appease Kaya.

‘Hey. Say something that makes sense.’

‘The captain is dead. Don’t talk nonsense.’

‘Kaya…however, that’s a little bit…’

Enthusiasm flared up at the sight that no one believed, but Kaya soon erased the anger with a smile.

Anyway, her dazzling magic skills succeeded in breaking through the barrier, and she succeeded in coming out like this.

“Wait Mister. I will definitely find it.”

Then it is not an illusion.

The man I met on Earth was definitely Yujin Kang.

The memory of Kaya, who was called a magician, was that she never forgot her unrequited and first love.

“I’ll be sure to find it…”

Holding the staff tightly, her eyes shining resolutely, she took a step towards Helios.

No, I was trying to step out.

Faaah—!

“Ugh…!”

I hurriedly covered my eyes from the light that burst out of nowhere.

A gentle breeze blew through her hair, and a figure appeared in the fading halo of light.

A beautiful robe resembling the night sky.

Silver hair flowing down like the Milky Way.

A pair of large wings shining pure white.

Kaya, ahead of the ‘Constellation’, uttered in despair with her eyes widened.

“The most… holiest sky…?”

to that call.

She, Laniakea, answered.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Kaya.”
