Colossus Hunter

“Son of Uranos? ”

I paused. Kronos, as I know him, was a son born between Gaia, the god of the earth, and Uranos, the Imperial Shrine.

He is the father of Zeus, described as a cruel god who devours children. Why did he appear as a woman before me?

But the woman who introduced herself as Kronos shakes her head.

“I am the ‘justice itself’ of time. You were different from Kronos, and should have been intangible in nature. ”

It means that she is time itself.

But time is intangible.

But now, in front of me, she was clearly showing herself.

“Time has existed since the beginning, so I was also called a god. But when I was absent, I was in a state of" notion "that transcended all time, space and dimension. What gave me this form was her, al? theia. ”

“Latatosk? ”

Aleatia, the truth. I knew she was Latatosk in Wigdrasil.

“Half right, half wrong. She's in Wigdrasil now.), the presence of forgetfulness. They forget everything, they write new, they multiply indefinitely. And I was responsible for the deprivation and lack of what she left behind. ”

The River Rette, also known as the River of Forgetfulness, said Latatosk was a form of forgetfulness.

“You mean split into two? ”

“Sort of. The truth is torn in two. She didn't have the bowl to cover the other half, so she gave me a role in the concept of time itself. ”

“My head's not following me. Why is that great notion called" The Queen Eagle "? ”

It was the part I couldn't understand the most.

This is a tomb of heroes. Like Hercules, you had to achieve 12 different jobs to get in here.

But waiting at the end is time.

“Anglers are the collections and unions of the newly created souls of Latatosk. The dead, sealed in the form of an angler, disappear naturally over time. Originals that shouldn't have existed. My role is to ensure that they circulate naturally in the balance of the world. ”

“· · · · · · Wasn't that the monster that ate everything? ”

“There's a habit of preying on everything around you to fill your own shortage because you're a dead man who shouldn't exist. ”

Answer me when I ask.

I've never met such a kind god.

But there was something bothering me.

“You told me you were seeing me a second time, but I don't remember seeing you there. ”

“When you returned back in time, you met me. ”

I grilled my eyebrows. When I came back?

I was devastated by the Order of Aleatia that day. You killed the parishioner, destroyed the order, but were killed by a monster who appeared in LA.

Then I opened my eyes again and went back to the body of a high school student.

I sent a suspicious glance, and she nodded.

“No wonder you don't remember. At that time, I was the concept itself. It was like a piece of clockwork, running on a self-contained system. ”

“Do you have a self now? ”

“Yes, there has been a great change in the axis of dimension, as you have meddled in his reversal." Big explosions like the Big Bang. It gave me a self, and the rate of collapse began to accelerate. ”

I mean, am I going to win the colonial regression?

However, it was not easy to understand that there were huge changes. At least the world wasn't so different from my memory before I moved in.

Subsequent flows were clearly different but within error range.

“I think I'm a catalyst for destruction. ”

“You are a destroyer of truth. They deny the truth and destroy the truth. Every time you move, the dimensional axis is twisting. They are doing the opposite of the" Apostle of Truth. "”

“The Apostle of the Truth? ”

“The one who came back with you. He is an apostle of the truth chosen by Latatosk. He came back with a mission to restore the shaft. It brings me and her back together. ”

Originally, Aleatia, who was one, was divided into two.

Latatosk, and Kronos before my eyes.

Colonials have come back with a mission to unite the two.

I didn't regress for no reason. But does he know that?

“But the power of destiny was divided, and he forgot his mission. Because of you, truth-breaker. ”

“I don't like the idea of a destroyer. I have no intention of destroying dimensions or worlds. ”

“At the point where your appearance made me self-conscious, she and I could not be reunited. Your very existence has already destroyed the truth. ”

It couldn't be sweet to say that existence itself was wrong.

Even though I didn't do it because I wanted to, and I'm trying so hard to get back at the world.

“Does that mean the world will return to its original state when you put the two of you together? You can go back to a normal world without monsters, without Awakenings? ”

“Everything is back to normal, but there is no power left to turn back time itself. Every trace of everything slowly degrades over time. ”

It was said that the wounds of humanity on Earth were inevitable.

I thought it wouldn't be so bad if things went back to the normal world, but Kronos shut it down.

“How do I put you two together? ”

“It is unlikely, but it is to kill the Apostle of truth and undermine his mission. ”

“Kill him?" ”

I made a shivering face.

Kid. Killing a colony means there's a small chance that I'll be able to take over his original mission, which was really a bloodless, tearless way.

“What's the alternative? ”

“If you die, your mission with the apostle of truth will be enlightened normally. ”

“What's the alternative? ”

“Exterminate Nidhog and Hresbelg, and Wigdrasil will work normally and restore all gaps. ”

“Good. That'll do. ”

Simple, clear and good. Hresbelg, the creator of the crack, Niedhog, may destroy the world. It was him on both my terms.

“But the architect, Hresbelmann, knows how to get rid of my own ego. Even if I kill him and restore the gap, I don't know when I'll get another stool as long as I have an uncertain subject left. ”

If we kill Hresbelg, we won't know how. However, the role of the apostle of truth was uncertain.

“Is it the will of the Emperor to be here? ”

“Yes, it is very likely that Hresbelg will notice us once we get out of here. He recommended that I stay here and rule over the dead. ”

Hercules. It was his will that Kronos was here.

However, it did not seem to create 12 trials to hide her.

“Did you know I would come here? ”

“No.”

“Did you think someone other than me would come for you? ”

“I don't know.”

The answer was not as clear as it had been.

It means that the Emperor did not tell her the truth about these trials.

What's the matter with you?

‘When you break the trials, you will meet Kronos. She answers your questions, but that's it? ’

Maybe there was homework that couldn't even be solved.

It is a test, a test and a chapter of reflection.

The spirit accepted that the journey was left with a little uncertainty.

I began to constantly think about myself as the heavenly host, comparing myself to myself when I was traveling with the site.

She was the same.

Time. He seemed to be confused by the fact that he had a self that should exist as a notion.

‘He insists that his self should be destroyed. ’

She said she was destroying the world because her ego became more uncertain.

The truth is certain. Uncertainty is unacceptable.

But every word she says, if I'm the true destroyer,

If I had a destiny to do so, it would have been better to destroy all the truths and start from the beginning.

I slowly reached out my hand.

“I'll go with you. ”

“I'm moving here. ”

“Nothing can be solved by staying still. And he tested me, imitating the twelve trials he had, to find out the size of the hero. Sometimes you have to be dedicated to unreasonable things as well as unknown heroes. Like saving a trapped princess. ”

Hero. What a irrational name.

Hero. What an arrogant and original name.

I'm not a hero. You look like a gangster. You look like a good kid.

It is that unstable, volatile, and sometimes does things similar to heroes.

“When I leave here, Hresbelg will notice. If I can get both my power and hers, even Nidhog can't stop him. ”

“Does it make a difference here? The Apostle of the Truth, whom you said, has forgotten his mission. The heavenly host you trusted has now become the manure of a great star. ”

Hercules has left hope here.

Jade Emperor, Monkey King.

And her own notion of time.

You have to get them both. I thought this was a real relief left by Heavenly Horse.

A test in honor of a true hero. Sometimes it was a hero to take a risk and save a little one!

“If you keep watching, the world is doomed to destruction. But if you hold this hand, maybe one thing will change. It may not start, but most beginnings start small. ”

“You're certainly not an apostle. ”

“I don't trust those up there. ”

I believe in myself.

Because no one else is responsible for me.

Maybe this choice is wrong. But this choice was also my choice.

You reach out and slowly grip Kronos' cold hand as if it were frozen.

“I'm going on a journey. Since this is the 'Journey to the Great Star,' you will also know the end of your own self. Whether the self is unnecessary or created by necessity. ”

There is an answer at the end of the journey.

Not Monkey King, not Kronos, not me.

At the end of the trip, you will be able to give a clear answer.

Cough!

The door is open.

A giant door to the modern world.

Hora, Queen of the Grass, made a rope for you.

When I got up there and entered the world, I felt a bit dazzled.

But the road was open.

The light poured down like it was waiting for me and made a long and long path.

And one day, in front of me, there was him.

‘You're welcome.'
