Hidden Peace

The appearance of the Lord of Truth was very sincere.

He didn’t act like he used to.

no, i couldn’t

[All, you… Are you Martin?]

I nodded meekly.

“right. Were you waiting for me?”

He said nothing.

It just shook so violently that it could be seen.

He must have realized that I was not someone he could deal with.

“after… … .”

A sigh came out spontaneously.

The fate of the final boss in the scenario is to eventually lose to me. His fate is very pitiful.

He hesitated, and I gave him time.

because i sympathized with him

After hesitating for a while, he bowed his head deeply to me and opened his mouth.

[Can you get me out of here?]

“Did you change your method because it doesn’t seem like it could be done by force?”

he didn’t deny it.

[Look at that desperately. I… Really, I’ve been stuck here for too long. If you pity me… Please get me out of hell.]

I answered right away without even thinking about it.

“no.”

I’m sorry, but I can’t.

[Oh, how can you say no? Is it difficult to let me go?]

“no. It’s just a matter of removing the constraints of the ‘law’ attached to you, so it’s a very simple and easy thing for me.”

[If so, why are you rejecting it? Do you think I’m going to do something bad outside?]

He looked at me with trembling eyes and then spoke quickly.

[If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry at all. I just want to get out of this hell. I just want to feel the real universe for just one day. More than anything… As long as you exist, I won’t be able to do anything you don’t want to do. you don’t know that either if not… Are you sure you don’t believe me? Then, even if you are willing to make a contract of the soul… … .]

I cut him off.

“I know that you are telling the truth. But no. I can’t do that.”

he shouted, his face contorted.

[Why not! You can’t show me even the slightest mercy!]

“It’s not that simple.”

[Then why do you hate me!]

“I don’t hate you.”

He killed the fourth warrior. However, that was the intention of the ‘star’ made to move the restrictions of the ‘law’ that hung over the hero to him. In the first place, it was their fate in the scenario they were born with. So I have no feelings about him killing the fourth champion.

‘I still have to kill him.’

‘Star’ chose him as the final boss and hid a hidden piece inside him.

It is said that the ‘star’ has arranged so that I can get something if I kill him.

So, to get it, I have to kill him.

[Tell me why!]

“sorry.”

I can’t tell him the truth.

Now, it would be less cruel to kill you comfortably than to say that you were destined to live like that and die like this anyway.

he changed his stance.

[I will take it by force!]

Kwaaa-

His body radiated an incomparable degree of divine power compared to when he dealt with transcendentalists and monarchs.

If it were me in the past, I would have been unable to move just by standing in front of that power.

“Martin!”

“no!”

Latun and Lammune tried to come closer, screaming as if their throats were going to break.

I raised my hand to stop them.

“I am fine. wait for me.”

The lord of truth cannot harm me.

Even if there is a difference in physical ability, a superman who handles magical powers is not afraid of ordinary people. Like him, he poses no threat to me.

Speaking of divine power, it was the power of an imitation of an external force. In order to deal with an external force, the opponent must also have an external force, or a power comparable to an external force, such as Arin’s primordial darkness or Phoenix’s primordial fire.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter to me how much divine power he has.

The only criterion for determining whether he can deal with me is my external power.

Not to mention, the external power I possess is one of the highest rank, which is rare even in the real universe.

so.

widely-

Even at this moment when I touch his body, there is nothing he can do.

The Lord of Truth looked at my hand on his chest and asked with sad eyes.

[Is it really not possible?]

“… sorry.”

[Will you kill me?]

I asked.

“Do you want to live?”

he didn’t answer

I also knew he didn’t want to live.

He would rather die than escape from this hell. Even so, the reason he didn’t answer was probably because he still couldn’t give up hope even now.

There is only one thing I can do for him.

“I will let you go without pain.”

A face full of sorrow becomes calm.

No, it becomes expressionless.

He must have finally resigned himself, knowing that I would not give up my stubbornness.

[Should I be thankful?]

“There is no need for that. This… than my karma.”

The existence that put this setting on him is the ‘star’.

What the ‘star’ did is no different from what I did.

So I have no choice but to feel sorry for him.

[I don’t want reincarnation, so I’d be grateful if you could get rid of the soul as well.]

Even though he was a monarch, hell would have been nothing but hell to him.

“Sure.”

he closed his eyes

I held an external force in the hand resting on his chest.

Hwaaa-

Light enveloped his body.

One second, no. A short time of less than 0.1 second passed.

He disappeared without a trace.

But the light did not go away.

The light that stayed where his body was was moved to me and the hidden piece was activated.

* * *

The sky over Roden was dyed with black mist.

Even though the sun should be bright, the world is like night because of that.

Pedro was looking up at the dark sky from the roof of the mansion.

His complexion was very dark.

‘Martin, where are you and what are you doing?’

Two days ago, Phelus, the chancellor of Pangea, brought the fallen Cater to Pedro’s mansion.

He looked for Martin with a contemplative face.

-Where is the former Demon King?

– What the hell is this? Why is Kater doing this again?

-For the Demon King… After giving the order to take the people of Pangea and cross over to Roden, he collapsed. I don’t know why. I came here to find out why. I was wondering if the previous demon king knew about it.

Pedro’s heart sank.

Carter is a descendant of Martin.

When Carter suddenly collapsed for no reason, the ominous thought that something had happened to Martin came over.

-Martin… I’ll look for it.

and a day later

Another person related to Martin visited Pedro’s mansion.

He was Gehrig, a genius alien scientist who represented Arin in ‘Martin’s World’.

Like Pellus, he also brought Arin, who had lost his mind.

-I’ve done all the tests, but I couldn’t find the cause. Arin-nim told me to return to the planet and wait, but I came here just in case.

The news that the reason why Arin collapsed was also unknown, Pedro felt the sky collapse.

‘Something happened.’

At least, I could only have a little hope in that Kater and Arin had lost their minds and were not dead.

For more than 20 hours after that, Pedro did not come down from the roof. I was waiting for my beloved son.

But Martin never returned.

As time passed, the world grew darker and his heart grew darker.

The Sword Saint stayed by his side and sent silent consolation, but it didn’t help much. Pedro couldn’t even afford to care about his best friend.

It was about a day after he went up on the roof that Pedro, who was raising his head to the sky in a daze, saw something strange.

‘… What is that?’

It looks like a black membrane.

It looked like a large cloth, and it spread out wide in the sky, preventing the black mist from descending.

“Raymond.”

Pedro’s mouth opened after a long time.

The swordsman’s face brightened a little.

“Why are you calling me?”

“Look over there.”

The Sword Saint looked up at the place Pedro had pointed to. And then, he opened his eyes wide.

“What kind of cloth do you see? What is that?”

“I don’t know either. It looks like he’s trying to protect us from that black fog… … .”

“I know. Just looking at what you’re doing, it seems like that.”

The Sword Master, who was shaking his head, asked cautiously.

“Did Roden do it?”

“Don’t you know that when Lord Roden uses his power, it glows golden?”

“Then who is it? I think you have to be a transcendental person to see such a miracle. Are you Latun? Mr. Lamune?”

Pedro shook his head.

“I don’t think so. But somehow… … .”

“Somehow?”

“I feel good.”

“Do you like that?”

“It’s hard to put into words, but what can I say… Should I call it cozy?”

Pedro had a hunch that his discovery of it was no accident.

“Anyway, I feel that way.”

“… What do you mean by that?”

“Isn’t that why it’s a bit like expressing it in words?”

“Anyway, you think it won’t harm us?”

Pedro didn’t have an easy answer.

Because the feeling was a bit puzzling.

It was then that the sky brightened.

Hwaaa-

Brilliant golden light bloomed where the black membrane was.

Then, the prophecy resounded loudly.

[How dare you say this place!]

It was Roden.

he was angry

[Is that guy’s territory even in this situation?]

It’s the first voice I’ve ever heard.

It will definitely be a transcendent. That’s not inferior to Roden either. If it wasn’t for that, I’d just kick him out, because Roden wouldn’t have yelled out in such rage.

[I don’t know what you’re trying to do on my land, but get out of here!]

[If you let me take one human with me, I’ll just leave.]

[dare!]

Hwaaa-

The golden light deepened even more.

However, the black membrane did not disappear.

The black light that formed the curtain also gradually deepened in step with the golden light.

Roden’s angry voice struck the ground once more.

[Drank!]

There are many demon realms in the dimension. And since each Demon Realm has its owner, they are the Demon King.

‘Drinking… … .’

The Demon God is the parent of all demon lords and is like a master.

Pedro trembled slightly when he realized that the black membrane was the power of the demon.

‘Why am I in such a good mood?’

It is an incomprehensible phenomenon.

The warm black curtain reminded Pedro of his mother’s arms after he passed away.

That feeling is still the same now that I know that it belongs to the demon god.

‘why… … .’

Just when Pedro was frowning in confusion, the demon’s voice was heard.

[This is my child.]

I can feel the demon’s gaze.

Pedro could see that he was the one whom the demon called his son.

‘Airani… … ?’

At that time, when Pedro couldn’t react at all, dumbfounded by the unexpected words, the demon’s words continued.

[Now it is time to return home.]

* * *

Hidden Peace has been activated.

The first was a record of me in the past that ‘Star’ showed me in the past.

I’m watching the movie as if I’m rehashing it, so I don’t know how time passes.

What followed was a message.

A considerable number of messages began to pass by.

[The Master will regain his power someday.]

[Somehow, I will make it that way.]

[But no matter how strong you become, you can’t do everything alone.]

[There is nothing to say if the opponent is Atlo.]

[So I made this.]

An orb of light floats in front of my eyes.

[Master will be able to create a new corps with this.]
