Desire

I know. Azin sets his face to Noya. Noya knows the truth of this world that no one knows about among First's common NPCs. It is almost the same truth as Gladiolus, the creator, in terms of settings in the game, who does not even know the god of knights.

This world is a game. Player and NPC exist. And the goal of the game is to compete for a new god among the five transcendents.

“Your transcendent was Acacia, right? ”

Noya asks. There's nothing more to hide. Noya was reading her mind, and she couldn't read Noya's mind. Noya seems to know something that Ajin doesn't. Ajin only knows what Noya knows.

“Acacia picked a good hand. ”

Noya nods and laughs. He slowly walks towards Azin. Azin chews his lips as he looks at Noya's coming.

What the hell am I supposed to do? Noya's strength is unknown. Noya spit out that she seemed to possess almost the same power as Verdinger, the Queen of the Black Forest... and a realization about this world that was different from Verdinger's. Noya herself said it was more of a failure than Verdinger made by Gladiolus.

Is Noya the enemy?

First, Ajin had to judge it. Noya is a monastery manager. Knows the truth of the world and has an unknown strength. Where's Ajin?

Why did Ajin come to the Abbey? To meet the twins. And to kill or take the sword.

First of all, does Ajin have to conflict with Noya?

“Number one, Noya is not your enemy. ”

And Noya read Ajin's mind. Noya comes forward and looks at him without a smile on her face. Noya is not that big. It was a little smaller than Ajin, and nevertheless, he couldn't feel the courage to look down on Noya.

“Two, Noya is strong. Much more than you. ”

Noya was kind. She answered him, discussing the questions he had in his mind one by one.

“Concomitant Explanation therefor. Noya is strong, and you can never defeat Noya. But Noya's strength is something other than her own strength.” “What does that mean?” “Noya will not fight you. ”

In saying that, Noya smiles. At that moment, Azin was speechless, and Noya continued speaking with a grinning smile.

“Noya doesn't fight. You're not the only one. Noya doesn't fight anyone. So Noya is invincible. I'll never lose. In other words, Noya is invincible.” “That's not an ulcer.” “That's not an ulcer. This is the truth. Noya doesn't fight. You don't fight, so you don't lose. Noya doesn't know defeat. We don't even know if we can win. Isn't that absolutely unbeatable? ”

Noya laughs as she says. Azin stares at Noya's face because he's out of his mind.

“I will not fight in any case.. What if you are at risk of death?” “What a mess. Noya is in no danger of dying. I am absolute and invincible. And Noya knows everything. ”

Number three, Noya said.

“Noya does not control you. You've come to the Abbey, but you can do whatever you want. If you want to take the sword, you can take the sword. If you want to meet a twin, you can meet a twin. Noya exists only in the Abbey, and Noya's reason for existence itself. As long as Noya is around, this place can function as a monastery. ”

It was a good sound to hear in pain. If Noya is truly equal to the Queen, then she is too much to deal with as she is now.

And Noya reads her mind again. Noya shakes her head horizontally.

“Even if you can defeat the queen, Noya will not fall to you. Too much to deal with? No, it's not too much, it's too much for you.” “.. isn't that too arrogant?” “Number five. Noya is not arrogant. What Noya says is true to everyone. And six, Noya is stronger than Verdinger. Because Noya didn't fight? Because Noya is invincible? Because Noya is invincible?” Noya's eyes narrow. A white glow flashes through the dull black eyes. Azin takes a few steps back, swallowing his gaspy breath.

“Noya doesn't fight because fighting isn't fun. Why? Noya's too strong. Noya is invincible because Noya doesn't fight. Noya is absolutely the same as above. It's too boring to be strong, so I don't fight. So invincible. So absolute. That's Noya.”

Absolute confidence. The truth, not arrogance. The light disappears from Noya's eyes.

“In a word... anyone can do that.” “You want a test. Do you want to experience the power of Noya? It's good to know one thing, Rank 1st. Noya is stronger than anyone in the First. Even the concept of a conceptual queen can be denied. Even if the five elders of Siolence join forces, they cannot kill Noya. The transcendent, too, you know? You have already surpassed the power of your officer, Acacia. Even in the game. ”

Noya bursts into laughter.

“I'm just that much of a transcendent. What's the difference between transcendence and God? Absolute. A transcendent who has not attained absolute power cannot use the power of God. Absoluteity? Absolute power to disprove the concept, or to overwrite another concept. Such power that only those who ascend the throne can have. ”

Noya continued: He turns around, carries his backpack and slowly walks around the room.

“Noya is equal to God in the First. Gladiolus made and abandoned Noya. It was Gladiolus' mistake and his prey. Gladiolus wondered if his creation could gain absolute power and become a god. And the proof of that curiosity is me, Noh. ”

It was hard to understand what Noya was spitting. And Noya reads that mind again.

“But Noya's absolutity is not perfect. In the First, Noya is equal to Gladiolus. Noya gains absolute power, and Noya is God. The big difference is, Noya will never get out in the first place. It's because of Noya. Noya gained absolute, but the absolute, imperfect imitation. If you try to leave the First, Noya's existence disappears. ”

I understand. Azin knows what Noya is. Noya said she was a proof-of-gladiolus. Gladiolus wondered if his creature could gain absolute power and become closer to God.

And the 'NPC‘, created by the setting ‘extraordinary’, succeeded in getting closer to God.

“The queen failed. The five elders of Siolence also failed. The queen was not interested, and the five elders were satisfied with their reach. The only thing that's improved is paddles. Noya is enlightened... adviser to Gladiolus, absolute and invincible. Do you understand now?”

Noya's eyes ache. Azin clenches his fist, swallowing a gulp.

“Why are you telling me this?” “Because Noya is kind. You're not special. Even to Devello, Noya taught him everything. If anyone else came to see me besides you, Noya would have given him the same answer.” “What do you get by telling it?” “Your awakening. ”

Noya said with a grave face. Noya takes a step. The space changed in front of Azin's eyes. Just before, Azin was in Noya's room. But Azin was now standing in a wide open meadow.

“Is the Demon King strong? ”

Noya opens her mouth.

“Strong. The Demon King arrives five years later. What if the current player is fighting the Demon King? Defeat. What if all players work together to fight the Demon King? Defeat. Calculating the player's growth so far, what if I use it after 5 years to fight the Demon King again? Defeat. What if I calculate all the variables? What are variables? Five elderly interventions. The Black Forest Queen's intervention. All NPCs in Gracia, Jinsun and Siolence intervene. Even if you add all those variables, you lose. ”

It was definitely a death sentence. Azin's face was frozen cold. Azin had absolute confidence in the power he had achieved so far. Honestly, even if the Demon King were to come right now, Azin could only defeat the Demon King.

“What is needed there is the presence of a saint. A wild card of an existing system against the Demon King. What if she wakes up, confronts the Demon King, and in the process, she dies? If so, the player will finally have a" victory "in the battle with the Demon King. With the Holy Spirit's death added, the chances of the player winning against the Demon King... add up to 40% of all variables.” “Wait... watch your mouth..." “Noya knows everything. There is a saint in your shadow. But you don't have to worry. From the moment I met you, those in your shadow couldn't hear Noya. Likewise, so do you.” “If that's the case. That's how a saint dies.” “That's what a saint exists for. ”

Noya was in a hurry.

“I don't want to let you die, the feelings you have. You want Noya's respect? Noya laughs at fools. It is the Holy Spirit who exists to defeat the Demon King. Players cannot win a battle against the Demon King unless the Holy Lady dies.” “But..!” “Choosing it is your freedom. ”

Noya stops speaking to him.

“If you want to protect a saint, there are many ways to protect her. But if it does, the Demon King cannot be defeated. Death is nothing to a player. But if you cannot defeat the Demon King, the transcendent cannot become a god. Which means you're going down. ”

Azin's face distorted.

“But there is Noya. ”

As if there was no complete despair, Noya said.

“What is Noya? For player growth. If the saint's death makes a win for the player, Noya's presence inflates that win. Of course, Noya does not intervene. There is no involvement of Noya in any variable. However, Noya can teach players. ”

Noya takes another step. Every time he walked, colourful flowers bloomed.

“The Black Forest gives players the power of monsters. The five elders of Siolence, even the High Esper, make a surpassing Esper. Noya's very existence informs the world of the Unsullied. ”

Each faction has a salute for you. The Black Forest of Gracia, the Senate of Siolence, and the Origin of Jinjin.

“Learn from Noya. Take Noya's teachings. Recalculate here. You and Devello, both taught by Noya. All five elders taught by Siolence will grow beyond growth. Seventy percent chance. What if she doesn't die? Winning is 30%.”

Noya stops. Noya stared at Azin, who was facing a fertile flower field. Noya's eyes changed. Ajin takes a step back, and Noya stands still. Something big, moving.

“The choice is yours. ”

Azin swallows a gulp. Noya reaches out slowly, and the blooming flowers settle in unison. The landscape changes again. Earth to lava, sea, air.

“Will you learn from God? ”

Noya asked.
