Colossus Hunter

< 51. Lou's Window (2) >

Anyone who climbs a tower must be godly.

It must be clean, and there must be Orlot.

Those three disqualified people cannot climb the tower.

I fell from the tower and lost the last thing I existed. My name, my cause of existence. But after Lyra appeared, I found my name again. I knew my intentions.

“What do you want to do, climb this tower? ”

First floor. There's the Sun King.

No, the Sun King of all time, to be exact. The man I killed was waiting for me on the first floor.

“It would be better to fall again. This power is too great for you to handle. They will bring destruction upon us all. ”

“I can't fit because I'm afraid of maggots. ”

Life is a series of challenges.

I quite agree with this statement.

Someone has to do it anyway.

The world was doomed to destruction if taken from the others.

Challenge. Like all the trials I've been through.

“‘Future Choices’ did not gain this enormous power. Not even Uriel Diablo. How can you climb a false tower? ”

Fake. A human wearing the veil of Uriel Diablo.

Is that what you're saying?

Uriel Diablo used the power of future choice to find me for a hundred years and risk everything on my possibilities.

And the Sun King of the Apocalypse also took his place using that power. He lost to me in the end, but if he had defeated me, neither Doom, nor Zero, nor Arheim would have been able to stand him.

Even that is hesitant in front of the Great Star.

“Even if you experienced a 'time regression’, you were not the subject. It really was a" fake life. "”

Ah, right. It wasn't all my will that I regretted, that I became Uriel Diablo. It just happened.

But I did my best under the circumstances. Feet. Like a worm twitching when you step on it.

“Fakes cannot be real. I'm sure you're aware of that. ”

Black people.

They were real, but they were fake.

Because of the regression I and the colonists experienced.

Then they made a plan to get rid of all the real ones.

It was the beginning of an epic book, but the ending was not beautiful.

I slowly opened my mouth.

“There are people waiting for me. ”

In addition.

“I have people to protect. ”

That's all I need.

That's enough.

I passed the Sun King of the Apocalypse.

The first floor was just a test base to peer at my will.

He can't stop me.

- You'll never climb this tower with that much will.

A word that pierces my ears like an echo of a curse.

It's not flattering.

No matter what anyone says, I just move forward.

As always.

Second floor.

Odin's room.

There was a great Lord Jesus.

A giant looking down at me with two wolves on either side.

He took away all my senses. Visual, auditory, tactile, tasteful, olfactory.

It was his ordeal to endure it again and again in an invisible and audible place.

- Anyone who climbs the tower must be a complete person. Have you completed yourself?

Completion. What is Completion?

If everything is complete, I am not complete.

But Odin tells me that only when Orloth is complete can we climb the tower.

I ask myself:

Am I complete?

"No."

I would be an incomplete pronoun. Every power I had, every relationship, every cause was unsafe.

I survived a long time in an invisible and audible place.

Meeting about yourself. I had time to reflect.

However, no matter how much time passed and no matter what the meaning of "completion" was,

Maybe it's because it hasn't been completed yet. Or maybe there isn't such a thing as perfection in the first place.

But one thing's for sure.

‘Because it is incomplete, there is something more beautiful. ’

Uriel Diablo. From him to me, from me to him, this myriad of causes. If we were complete, we would not have relied on each other, rather we would have disbelieved in each other and would not even be here today.

Even now that I was deprived of all my senses, I was not alone.

I wasn't sad or angry.

I don't think it's apathy.

- That's not an answer. But if what you really want is the power of fate, go ahead.

Odin gives you the door easily.

Just like I'm sure I won't make it up there anyway.

I asked him before I went up the tower.

“Jormungan hates you. ”

Odin is a fake. An illusion made in the Wigdrasil. I could not help but ask him, knowing that there would be no right answer.

Odin drops Jormungan from his world. Jormungan, who fell to the ground, became a monster of the great sea that encircled the world, but possessed fierce hatred for Odin who had fallen.

- Destiny is inevitable.

Ambiguous answer.

- So will you.

He just sat there helplessly.

Surrender to your destiny.

This tower is not where the finished ones exist. It's just a tower of greed, where imperfect people gather, only with the desire to be perfect.

I turned around and walked out again.

No one knew that I would give up and sit down under their curse.

* * * * *

The death of Arnelow.

It was such a big event that it transformed the world.

Zero and his Lord commanded him one by one, who seemed like he would not let anyone touch him.

Rrrrghhh!

Screams erupt from the massive tower of blood and life.

The tower, which devoured tens of millions and billions of lives and turned it all into magic, was the driving force that gave zero unlimited power.

At the same time, the 'Eye’ at the top center of the tower had the power to look at everything in the world. What the 'Eye’ saw was even zero, and I was also looking at the moment of ‘Arnelow' 's death as well.

“Arnelow is dead. I'll go clean up the blood. ”

One of the Lord Commander said to Zero, If it is known to the other faction leaders that Arnelow is dead, it is clear that he will press Zero without missing this opportunity.

It was because Zero had gained a fine advantage in 4: 3: 3.

War is half the battle. This is the end of the shallow moment.

Purge Blood.

We must kill every last one of the humans who killed Arnelow.

But Zero shakes his head.

Instead, you reach out and point to one of the dragons roaming around the tower.

“‘Bahamut’ · · · · · · ·! Very well. With that Firecracker, it should be easy for the opponent to call himself Lord. ”

Bahamut the Firecracker.

The dragon that was lifted from under Jesus was strengthened by that cursed ‘tower’.

Even the Lord fears the secret weapon of Zero, because his powerful existence has been reborn as a half-breed monster.

Being with that dragon means not leaving an ant!

It literally means to make a field. Arnelow failed, but Bahamut the Firecracker is a monster unlike him. If it wasn't zero, it wouldn't even be in control.

“Sharaka of Shin Abyss will ‘Purge Blood’ and return. ”

Sharaka bows her head.

Mission with a 100% chance of success. What's left is how to retaliate.

The most cruel and cruel Purge would begin.

* * * * *

Fifth floor.

Here I placed it on the 'fork in the road’.

- Choose whether you will die and protect them, or kill them and you will live!

I failed to make a choice on the previous five floors.

· · · · · · · Humans who fell from my regression.

Dark people.It's about their treatment.

If they were complete, they would have chosen their deaths.

The ones that never existed. It's the only way to disappear.

However, the death that "Sa Sin" speaks of is not literal death.

‘Forgetting.’

Tell them to forget them.

That everyone will be forgotten.

The moment I choose their death, they really will be gone forever.

Even in memory.

Simple, clean, but I've already sworn to carry them. I will bear their sins and all my sins.

But in order to do that, I have to die.

Can you die?

Will I be able to exist alone?

- You chose your own death?

The messenger slowly swings his sickle.

- From now on, your existence will be erased. And soon it will be completely gone. This is your "death" that I am about to unleash.

I climbed the tower.

I just climbed, climbed, and climbed.

I already have Lyra's heart. I was inspired by Uriel Diablo. I saw the children and imprinted them in me.

Now you can choose. I was able to move on.

Let's go. Heading for the summit.

And let us defend all that I hold dear.

* * * * *

Lyra opens her eyes.

The first thing I saw was a high ceiling.

And next to it, there were children.

Gram, Elise.

“You're awake.”

“Mom!"

Gram smiles lightly, thankfully.

Elise takes Lyra in her arms and makes love.

“What happened to you? ”

“Kang Chan brought my mother here. He's wounded wonderfully enough not to die, so he's healing now. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

After hearing Gram's explanation, Lyra nods.

Yes, Kang Chan. He led Lyra far too great. I don't know how he got there, but as soon as he arrived, he took out his own spear and placed it in the center of the Great Star.

Valkyrie's Spear.

It was here when the great light swallowed Lyra and opened its eyes.

“Is he okay? ”

“Yes, but I think it's going to take some time to heal. He's still unconscious. ”

That's a relief. I'm not dead.

“What about war? ”

“We won. My father helped me last time. ”

“Father?”

“Childlust. The colonist said he came back. ”

Lyra's eyes are as big as a flashlight.

“Him, him? Where is he then? ”

“He killed Arnelow and disappeared. Like evaporation. ”

Gram finished his tastes as if he was sorry.

However, Gram's eyes were on fire.

“But I threw out a spear and shot down Arnelow at once. Like my mother said, my father was a great man! I healed Elise who was dying, and I defeated the monsters. And, and, and. ”

Gram reveals what he saw, just like a excited child.

Lyra nods, listening to Gram's story.

“· · · · · · Why do you cry when even the heroes in the myth can't see it? ”

This time, Gram was surprised and asked.

It's because a drop of tears fell from Lyra's eyes.

Never seen it before. She's steel. She says it's what Gram thinks.

Lyra lifts her hand and wipes her tears.

“It's nothing. I killed Arnelow, and if he's anything like Zero, he'll get his revenge. Get ready quickly. ”

“Oh, don't worry. The Lookalike City is complete. ”

Similar cities!

Lyra said, "Oh, I'm amazed."

We expose the underground city to the ground, and when the monsters invade, mankind hides underground to defend against the monsters.

How to mix real and holograms and bring ‘illusion'.

It was a strategy I had devised to make me go back or be careless thinking that the enemy had wiped out all the Humans.

Knng! Knng!

“Looks like it's started. Looks like Sharaca's back on his feet." ”

Gram grins confidently.

Lyra looks up at the ceiling quietly.

If this operation really works.

‘Beginning counterattack. ’

The resistance of the weak will begin.

Gram smiles and says,

“Oh! But that was amazing. Arnelow died in one shot in a spear thrown by a man named Kang Chan. ”

“· · · · · · · What? ”

“Oh, no, why is my father's name? ”

Soon Gram clutches his head in a bewilderment.

Neither was Lyra.

There was something going on, something that couldn't have happened.

Laira frowns and recalls her name.

‘I can't remember the name. ’
