Only one wish (7)

A distant outer dimension surrounding Helios.

Stars and darkness were confronting each other in the place where the ground was beneath their feet.

The white light that burns like the sun pours down like the Milky Way, and the swirling darkness rolls over like a wave and swallows the light.

Their fight, in which the sky is torn apart and the stars vibrate with just one word or gesture, can be called a battle of the gods.

“It’s great, but it’s not as strong as you think.”

“·······.”

“Is this all? Emperor.”

The emperor does not answer even the question thrown as if provoking.

I didn’t get angry or argue.

He moved his body as dryly as usual and steadily pointed the gun at her.

cooong-

The revolver that pulled the trigger shot out the condensed demonic energy.

There is no medium for sound to spread here, so instead of gunshots, the muzzle burst into darkness.

The ink-colored bullets that flew through space were blocked by Laniakea’s white wings and shattered like glass.

The fragmented bullets eventually transformed into pitch-black spheres, and then became spheres of gravity that swallowed the surrounding light.

“Tsk…”

Not threatening, but annoying.

If left as it is, the spells created with holy power could be affected and distorted.

Perhaps the emperor’s goal was also that.

She raised her hand and summoned power.

“The Fate of the Stars”

The life of a star that is born, burns up, and meets a jet-black death at the end of the light of a supernova.

The silvery radiance that tuned it caught the gravity body, forcibly canceling its power and evaporating it.

Each one would equal the power of any decent source, but she didn’t bat an eye.

thump- thump-

The same was true for the bullets fired in succession.

When blocked or dodged, the bullet, large or small, becomes an attraction body.

Like a deep, deep lingering attachment that draws out and swallows everything, it has attacked Laniakea with such persistence.

The end was always just evaporation from her light and disappearing.

“As expected. It’s an existence that adjusts the balance of the stars.”

He groaned as he lowered his revolver.

“…still annoying.”

Laniakea’s power is the power to balance all the stars she holds.

The life of a star, the cherished destiny, and cause and effect.

The round of the stars that the world holds can be handled with one gesture of her hand.

I had experienced it once in the previous world, but the power of the ruler of one world line was simply not easy.

“Can you accept surrender now?”

“·······.”

But the emperor did not react.

I looked at the situation with a cool eye and looked at all the factors that could be the odds.

It is a being that has won once anyway.

There’s nothing that can’t be done twice.

“If you don’t intend to come from there, I’ll let you go myself.”

Laniakea, who had kept her place until now, finally drew her sword.

Space rippled along the moving trajectory, and the holy power that surged tore through the darkness.

Their fights were not human fights, so there was no need for the classic movements of armaments.

might and power.

There was only the confrontation of pure ‘power’ that vibrates the heavens and the earth.

“It seems that the year that was terrified of the apostle until recently has changed a lot.”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to my kind apostle.”

One day, the emperor devised various schemes to separate Raniakea and Yujin Kang.

Until then, the emperor had been thinking of getting Kang Yu-jin to his side, and in order to do so, he thought it was necessary to separate him from Laniakea.

If he broke up with Kang Yu-jin, he guessed that the existence of Raniakea would collapse on its own.

‘But I was wrong.’

Contrary to his thoughts, Kang Yoo-jin of this world line was a person who embraced humanity.

He is cold but not harsh, and even though he is indifferent, he is kind.

He knew how to treat people as people, and he was someone who realized the value of relationships.

It was all because of the butterfly effect caused by the appearance of the emperor.

“…they’re not the same bitches.”

He chewed up his brain like he was getting an erection and bounced off Laniakea’s power one after another.

When holy power strikes, it crushes and crushes with demonic energy.

Between the haze of the two energies dispersing as the pair vanished, the bullets he fired rushed towards Laniakea’s heart.

Caan-!

The jet-black bullet slid over her wings and disappeared into the other dimension.

The holy power of ‘the most holy sky’ is more powerful than anything else, and it’s because it couldn’t be pierced with the power of a single bullet.

After reaching close range, she finally succeeded in grabbing the Emperor by the collar.

“I got it now.”

“·······.”

The slender arms lift the emperor’s body.

The silver eyes are as brilliant as the starlight, but the emotions contained in them are cold.

Because the warm gentleness he felt when he met Kang Yoo-jin was an emotion that only he allowed.

Her feelings for the emperor were as clear and unshakable as a frozen lake.

“To give one’s heart like that to an apostle. Aren’t you ashamed, the most holy sky?”

“Not at all. He’s worth it.”

She replied with a smile.

The first and last apostle accepted, and the man his sister loved.

And, the benefactor who forgave the mistake of a Constellation that destroyed her own world.

It might be natural to have such a favor towards him.

I probably didn’t deserve it, but now I know what this feeling is.

She, who must have been a god more holy than anyone else, loved her apostle.

“… that’s stupid.”

“That’s right. A foolish god who loved mortals.”

Her laugh didn’t break.

“I prefer a foolish but happy woman to a perfect but lonely god.”

“·······.”

“Isn’t it?”

There was unwavering trust and goodwill in her eyes.

These are the feelings forged by a solid relationship with Yujin Kang.

…the emperor didn’t like that.

“That’s it.”

he raised his hand

“…it’s annoying.”

Ting-

When he snapped his fingers, the bullets scattered in the air exploded all at once.

It wasn’t just a physical explosion.

A phenomenon in which condensed demonic energy bursts out as a single spell.

It was a wave containing the power of ‘mind control’.

───────!!

“Ugh…!”

Laniakea grabbed her head in shock that even shook the strong spirit of the constellation.

The tinnitus that resounds as if your head is about to explode.

She frowned at the pain that the Emperor’s voice seemed to gnaw through her mind.

“Even if the world changes, this is the only thing that doesn’t change.”

He reached out and grabbed Laniakea’s throat in pain.

Then he pointed the gun at her defenseless chest and pulled the trigger.

“It’s black…!”

A blow aimed directly at the root of the heart.

It was a power that was different from the bullets he had endured so far.

In a situation where consciousness was shaken due to mental control, the damage was inevitable.

“Did I look like I was grappling because I lacked strength?”

“Cough Cough…”

“As before and now, you are the same woman.”

“Kuh…!”

The stars around me shone as I followed my outstretched hand.

Countless stars lined up, amplifying each other’s gravitational force, and compressing the space where the emperor was.

One of Laniakea’s Authority, the Authority of “Universal Gravity”.

It is the power that amplifies the gravitational pull of the stars through the rearrangement of their positions.

“Did you amplify gravity, which is useless at a small location, with positional alignment? That’s clever.”

However, the emperor broke through the prison made of gravity with force and came out.

Laniakea once again concentrated her power toward him crawling out of the broken window-like space.

aaa!!

The holy power condensed around her held the light of the stars.

The power that brings about the days of the end stage of the fate of the stars, “Pulsar”.

The unstable shaking light eventually exploded in the form of a powerful magnetic field and swallowed the front.

aaa…

A storm of magnetic field that not only quite a few monsters, but also the commander of the corps must stop with all their might.

In the midst of that, the emperor merely responded by raising his hand.

The compressed demonic energy formed a black dot, and the pouring magnetic field was caught in the magical power of the demonic force and swirled and sucked in and disappeared.

“Anything else?”

“Quit…!”

Holding onto her throbbing chest, Laniakea raised her holy power.

However, all attacks ended in vain in front of the emperor.

Even if it sweeps the whole area with a storm of heat, even if it blows everything away with a nova explosion.

The emperor always had to find the best way to destroy the enemy and fight back.

“how···!”

“How do you think it will be?”

His voice was calm as he turned the revolver round and round.

“Because I’m looking right into your head.”

She shuddered at the sound of the voice in her head.

“Your thoughts. Intent. emotion. I can see them all.”

The bullets he fired aimlessly.

And those things that Laniakea had easily blocked were all mere skirmishes for now.

“I didn’t launch a meaningless attack, I bought time to infiltrate you.”

Contact is the most classic way to dig into an opponent.

Numerous contact with bullets, and the waves of mental control that exploded not too long ago.

And a deadly shot to the heart.

With that, the Emperor completed all preparations to intervene and read Laniakea’s consciousness.

“In the past, it was difficult because I was weak, but it’s easy now. Swallowing the Singularity helped a lot.”

He held the colorful light in his hand.

It was the power of the singularity he had swallowed.

“No matter how strong your power is, if you know how to destroy it, even that is nothing but prey to me.”

He rushed in like a beam of light and pushed Laniakea down as it was.

Even so, to the boundary between the outer dimension and the inner dimension.

As we dragged it down to the limit line where the dimensions met, Laniakea with its wings spread desperately resisted.

“Uh-geuk… kuh…!”

“Are you saying we can’t send it to the ground? This is so supreme.”

“never···!”

can’t send

Even if it took any damage, Raniakea could not send the emperor to the surface.

At least, at this moment.

“It’s strange. Why can’t I take over your consciousness?”

His face looked deep into Laniakea’s eyes.

“Now that I have obtained the power of the singularity, I should be able to take over your consciousness and make it my limbs.”

“·······.”

“What is protecting your mind so tightly?”

first star.

the most holy sky.

Although it is called such a great name, after all, Laniakea is also just one constellation.

Even if they have strong power, they cannot be free from the laws of the constellation created by the Singularity.

Even so, Laniakea, who could not be captured, was questioned by the emperor.

“You… you will never know. The reason why I can exist as I am.”

“·······.”

She laughs in pain.

It was a desperate situation for anyone to see, but there was still room in her expression.

The Emperor released her neck from his grip.

“What’s funny?”

“Cough Cough… You must think you’ve won right now, right?”

“·······.”

“That’s funny.”

she just laughed

From the beginning, she had no intention of defeating the emperor.

Kang Yu-jin had warned her several times, and she herself had enough discernment to judge victory or defeat by looking at the enemy’s strength.

If he did well, he might predict a draw, but he knew that with a high probability he would lose.

It was none other than Kang Yoo-jin who said so.

‘He will know all the means of attack you have.’

Already in the previous world line, the emperor had killed Raniakea.

It’s safe to say that Laniakea’s odds of winning were almost zero, as he had killed an opponent once, and was now even more powerful than before.

“I’ll tell you the opposite…Did I look like I was brawling like that?”

“…four years.”

There is no such thing as meaningless action in the world.

It’s even more so if you’re a being with a smart head.

Because she didn’t fight for victory in the first place, her purpose was just to ‘pass the time’.

“Catching Arachne doesn’t change anything.”

“You’re stupid.”

“What?”

“Does it seem that Arachne is the only target?”

Arachne is not the target?

For a moment, the emperor hurriedly looked at the ground.

I couldn’t feel it because I was blocked by Raniakea’s energy, but now I can’t feel Arachne’s energy.

it’s already happened

“Eugene-sama has already killed three corps commanders. Now, it won’t change anything if one more comes along.”

“What did you do?”

“What you don’t know.”

She looked across the sky.

A dimension far away from here, the place where ‘Awenkal’ with the mage tower is located.

“And, what we will never know.”

A light shines from the other side.

And the light also shone on the ground.

The light flew up into the sky, crossed the Milky Way, and began to reach the far reaches of the universe.

The stars in the sky responded, and each connected each other’s strength.

In front of the huge change that the celestial body achieves, Raniakea said with a smile.

“For him.”

Raising her hand, she unexpectedly snapped her fingers.

Eventually, the last light emitted hit the emperor and spread out in all directions.

*

“…the time has come.”

Dimension Arwencal.

Countless beings gathered on the top floor of the Mage Tower were looking down at the center.

Human wizards, including Mason, the Master of the Magic Tower.

And all the constellations surrounding the entire Awencal, including the Mage Tower.

At the center where their power is condensed into one, a woman raised her head.

All the wizards nodded at her, and Mason smiled.

“For Professor Yujin Kang.”

And Kaya answered.

“For your uncle.”

She hit the staff, and the light rose.

The last move prepared by Yujin Kang.

The circle of the ‘reincarnation ring’ created by the singularity.

A ring entwining the world crossed the sky.
