King of Shadows

"Did you need a reason to take more power? Aren't you the one who took the power of other beings to come up here now, Shadow King? I can't believe it was said by someone who came to the top with so many people as scapegoats."

"Don't put me on the same line with a guy like you."

"What I do is evil, and what you do is good... I won't stop you if you think you're being hypocritical. Do whatever you want."

What Chris wanted was to reach higher heights. His gaze has always been in space ever since I met a creature called Nialla Totep. In order to have great power, he had no obstacle to methods and means.

"I think I'm just going to fight with my mouth, so I'm going to go."

"Wait!"

By the time he reached out, it was too late. As soon as Chris saw her moving, he took the lamp from Alhazard and left.

After that, Sihyun went back in time to stop Chris. But the more I did, the more truth I wanted to avoid blocked his way. Even if Chris didn't kill Kathy, she was as good as gone at the point where K'Tulu wished to be resurrected.

Kathy was a tool-life crafted by K'Tulu to ensure her demise. To be precise, it was a way to get away from monsters like Harster and K'Tanid. The diligence and effort contained in it could not have been lighter. If it had been transformed by Xi Hyun, there was no reason for K'Tulu to give blood for thousands of years. Kathy's relationship with K'Tulu was unbreakable with her ability to demonstrate.

There can't be a way only Kathy can be saved. Even if Chris doesn't kill her, her life is like the wick of a candle. I tried several times, but I couldn't stop Cash from dying. I stopped Chris with a small discrepancy, but that was only a moment. Through the breach, K'Tulu regained his power in return for Kathy's life.

I couldn't even fix it with fate. The limitations were clear, despising the strong and reclaiming destiny and the future. It is because there are two people who create a circulatory point.

His history was unusual. One was Chris, the head of the circle and supported by Niallatothep, and the other K'Tulu, who traveled across the sea of stars and scattered disasters.

The outcome of Chris's possession-- the Golden Cube - and the bond between K'Tulu and Cash has severely shattered fate. Death to Chris. Sacrifice to K'Tulu. The choice was split, but the result was one.

166th attempt, and a 24th regression. After grabbing K'Tulu with both hands, Sihyun burst into a hot breath with the expression mentioned above. I was able to close my eyes and read K'Tulu's actions. Hundreds of blood spatters became the food of demonstration.

However, his heart was empty. Killing K'Tulu was easy, but saving Kathy was an agent. He stared at the air and uttered a lot of words.

"... Alto, are you watching this? Come out."

At the end of his words, a girl appeared as the space fluttered. She was a collection of chaos and a body alto of Nilatotheb, a being that trembles throughout the universe. Despite the discovery of his work, Alto smiles indifferently. It was the first time Sihyun opened his mouth so blatantly.

"What a strange thing to call you. Did you want to see my smile so bright that you were jealous? Then there's nothing you can't show me. All right, look. My smile is so fresh and shiny that I'm so jealous."

Shi Hyun shakes his head, expressing his intentions.

"I want to make a deal."

Alto opened his eyes wide as he made an unexpected offer from his mouth.

"You finally need a consultant's help! Well, if you give me a fair price, there's nothing I can't help you with."

"Alto, I'm serious. This is a deal. We take what we want from each other. I don't want to get along with you on this."

Chris' abilities were peculiar and K'Tulu's methods were intertwined. Even if we stop Chris, there is a wall called K'Tulu waiting. At the time Sihyun killed K'Tulu, there was no life or death for Kathy. But that's the story that comes from his point of view. If Alto got involved, the results would be significantly different.

That didn't mean that she trusted her. It was true that he didn't have a lot of color as a transaction target, but it was also true that he did a big part in making more circles.

Alto was a counselor and a meddler. If Chris had tried to go higher through death, she wouldn't have interfered. No, if Alto hadn't intervened, Chris wouldn't have been able to cross dimensions.

Chris died a year ago. In other words, Chris had only been rooted on Earth for a year.

In the meantime, I needed the help of a third party to grow into a great old being. Even though the seeds were good, the time it took to germinate could never be ignored. And there was only one person who could help by his side. It can't be that common for someone with such great power. Given Chris' relationship with Alto, there was no speculation.

"You must be the one who brought Chris to Earth, right?"

"Hehe, you caught me."

Alto smiles softly and sticks out his tongue. Her actions made a mockery of Sihyun. Now it had a lot of meaning as if he had only noticed it. He did not say anything because he knew Alto was a creature that promotes chaos and chaos. Chaos is her nature. It was also Xihyun-Azatos' karma that made her so.

"Tell me when he came to Earth."

I knew Chris had come to Earth about a year ago. But what she wanted was a more accurate time and place. Returning to the body a year ago was a downturn. Since Alto used his hands, it was almost impossible for him to catch Chris' trail. I needed Alto's silence to catch Chris. Then it was much more efficient to ask them directly than to find them yourself.

If we can't kill Chris now, we can just kill Chris in the past. Just like Michima did to herself earlier. Alto smiled as if he had read his intentions.

"Then what can you do for me? Do you really think I could make a satisfactory offer in the first place? I'm telling you, killing all the lovers you care about sucks."

Alto smiles calmly, revealing his true nature. With everyone's idol, she was a catastrophe that caused chaos and chaos early on. It was a truth that remained unchanged in the presence of respected and loved beings.

"I forgive you. Everything you've been trying to do with Chris..."

In a senseless declaration, Alto exploded a photon. It's like you're doing yourself a favor. The laughter that burst once did not stop. Alto slapped her knee like a lady and tapped her head with a debt. It's been a long time since I've laughed like this.

"Hehehe, hehe. You think you're worth it? Forgive me. I put you up to this and you forgot the fountain? Is that it?"

Alto ridicules you as if you were truly enjoying yourself. However, she couldn't help but make a firm face.

"If you really think I'm Azatos-Papa- you know what I mean. When I get my memory back, I'm gonna hit you first and kill you. Even if I can't kill you, I'll never see you again. I don't need a daughter to kill her father."

At his words, Alto couldn't even breathe. It was likely to be. If Sihyun really went up that high, his propensity would consume Azatos' body.

"Or is it that? Are you merely expressing affection in words? Is that all you love? I assure you, my value is not up to me, but up to you."

Azatos was disgusted by Alto. In the end, he never forgot a dull and foolish man who could not protect him.

"You want to be treated like a papa without admitting you're a papa? It's so humiliating, you can't say no to something like that."

Alto's shoulders sag as if to ask him when he blew up the ironworks. I couldn't ignore it. I didn't want to be hated by Sihyun-Azatos.

"So how did Chris get to Earth? Who did you turn into a scapegoat-mother? What method did you use?"

Alto folds his arms and doesn't open his mouth for a while. She frowns, wondering if there's anything not to think of as her. Alto's expression sank heavily. Soon, she concluded.

"... because of what I did, I'm going to tie a knot. That's the best and kindest thing I can show Papa. You don't mind if I do, do you?"

It was also my best and most generous gesture to Chris. Since you raised it yourself, you should kill it yourself. Alto erased Chris from his mind.

"I'll change the terms instead. I don't need you to forgive me, so I need you to listen to me."

"I'll refuse any kind of formal offer."

"No, seriously."

Alto straightens his waist and works his grave. When the charisma and existence that had not been shown so far exploded, Shi Hyun nodded unknowingly.

"I don't want you to ignore the truth. I'm not asking you to admit it. I'm not asking you to admit it. Just don't ignore it. You'll regret it someday if you don't look at the truth. I don't want to see you grieve."

Sihyun read the truth in Alto's eyes. But why would he say that? Now he was nothing but a wretched wretch. Even my mind was only a part of it.

"Is there a reason I should?"

"Of course, of course."

"What is it?"

Sihyun waited for Alto's answer. But she winked as she closed her left eye.

"It's not fun to tell, is it?"

He kicked his tongue briefly. Always, but Alto couldn't catch his breath.

"If that's not necessary, I'll take that life."

There was no second chance for the merciful. Chris raises his hand to swim because he had no intention of embracing it. For thousands of years, he's had nothing but fire in his wake. I was able to tap the sound barrier with just my physical ability.

But I couldn't reach Chris. Alto, who came through space and dimension, pushed his hand away.

"Alto, sir."

"It's been a while, Chris. No, I didn't. Did you meet him last night?"

As Alto swings his bucket, Chris moves beyond her range of attack. He was best aware that even a small blow could dislodge the body. We'd been together for decades, but I couldn't have known.

Chris, who is distant from Alto, calmly notices the situation.

"I see. Is Alto attached to you?" "

I expected this day to come. Attention to the King of Shadows, drawing lines as advisers and interventionists. When I opened my eyes and said I hadn't noticed Alto's change, all I had to do was tell him how stupid and ignorant he was.
