Possessing Nothing

“What the……. ”

Scarlet stammers in horror.

Even the crying Yehwa stopped feeling and looked at the will with her eyes wide open.

Oh, my god.

Osla mutters, her hands on her forehead.

[Hmm.]

In Lee Sung-min's head, he groaned.

[I knew it. You're crazy.]

The muttering was the only way to empathize, forgetting the situation and emotions.

However, the will is not yet finished. Lee Sung-min took a breath and read the will again.

< You know what I mean. And you'd think, "What the hell is this?" But if you think about it, there's nothing else you can do. The black heart you have adds what you eat to your body. Even the brutal force of force is in your possession, and the power of the Dragon Heart has been absorbed that humans cannot handle. While it is impossible to gain power immediately, eating the essence means you have room to grow. >

I know what it means. Probably, no, definitely. If he eats the heart of the tetrarch, he will gain his power.

Slowly, like Yogyo or Dragon Heart, the body will evolve to use the power of quadrupletism.

< But you can't take this kindly. The whole point is to know that you've been working your ass off not to be a freak. Eating a human locus may turn you into a complete monster. >

[You're right.]

Heju replied.

[It's too dangerous. You've already been turned into a monster, and your unconscious mind contains a urethra. If you have the chance, it will always come out and try to take your body away, just like in the old age.]

‘Of course.’

[In such an imperfect state, it is your desire to be human that feeds on humans. It completely denies the human being. Standing at the boundary between man and a monster, it is enough to turn you completely into a monster.]

Lee Sung-min was also worried about him. The tetrarch in the will was also with him in mind.

< The choice is yours. Whether or not you want to take the initiative. The script gives you room, but I don't intend to force you to choose. >

Select.

I saw that word for a long time. Mesh, Oswald. I have told Lee Sung-min about the importance of choice.

There will come a moment when you must choose. Is that what it is now? Give up humanity and gain power. Are you giving up your power? Lee Sung-min closed his eyes quietly.

I don't know what the right answer is. It's still dangerous enough. If you eat the heart of a tetrarch here, it will definitely mutate.

I don't know if I am who I am or not. As a monster experienced by Lee Sung-min, he was no more than a frenzied monster whose humanity was completely exterminated and unnecessarily intelligent.

‘I am.’

What to do. If you eat poachers here, you will definitely gain strength. And become a monster. I am who I've become. Lee Sung-min remembered me from 'now’.

The "I" who did nothing.

In the jungle, in the north. Lee did nothing. It was a private shareholder who caused the incident, and it was also a private shareholder who resolved the case.

It was the owner of every action, and during that time, he was not the main actor in everything. The tetrarch was right.

Lee Sung-min can't do anything unless the owner expels him.

I don't have to. It is because the private stockholder was superior to the rational person in all things.

I'm sick of this.To myself, I'm helpless. He became a top mercenary, a superstar, and a transcendent.

But what can he do in the end? Yes, in most problems, the power that Lee possessed helped to solve the problem.

But that's it. I knew Lee Sung-min well. In what will happen after this, the power of the rational mind is not enough to turn the situation upside down or lead out.

That's why the tetrarch says that.

[Choose rationally.]

Heju warned me. At that, Lee Sung-min chuckled. Surprisingly, I was surprised myself, but the rationality of the rational mind was cold.

Emotional fluctuations were not about the death of a tetrarchist, but about a helpless self.

I don't know what else to do. It was carried out on the mountain of Mesh. You endured Denir's execution. I have mastered the feasts of the underworld, the Feasts of Heilang, and have become a disciple of Samaritan, the greatest of the underworld.

That's not good enough.

‘You have to trust me. ’

Lee concluded quietly.

‘I haven't changed. Don't change. I don't know what my role is, but I...... don't want to be unable to do what I want to do. ’

[…… I see.]

‘I don't know. I really don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what role fate forces me to play. I don't know if the choice I'm making is the right one, given the favors of fate. But one thing's for sure. I want to do this. ’

Even if it's a choice that might be monstrous?]

‘You have to trust me. ’

Again, Seong-min muttered like that.

‘I don't want to stay helpless. This is the only way. The only way for me to have room to turn things around now. If my choice is to remain human or become a monster. I'll choose the latter. I want to become a monster and gain strength. ’

[What do you want to do?]

Heju asked. In response to the question, Lee Sung-min immediately replied.

‘The teacher told me not to avenge myself. But I want revenge. Because I want to. ’

[Termination?]

I'll kill the godless, and I'll kill the apocalypse. If Jonghyun Kim is the first disaster in the south, I will kill Jonghyun Kim and prevent the disaster. ’

[Maybe…… you who have become a monster will be a disaster like Kim Jong-hyun. That's enough room. The strength of the elderly hordes is terrible, and the strength of this elderly man has already fallen to you in great numbers. And there you have the power of the Dragon Heart. If even the power of samuraism adds up and you can use all the power you have as a complete monster...... You may become a monster in this old man's heyday.]

‘Trust me.'

Lee Sung-min opened his eyes that were closing.

‘I don't believe I will. ’

[Asshole. You think that's enough to make you a monster?]

‘You're a weirdo, and you're doing pretty well. ’

Because this old man is great.]

‘You belong to me. Maybe I'll be just like you. ’

[Hahaha! You've gone mad too. Tell me, is it really you you believe in? Or did the dead quadriplegic leave you a note? Or is he the old man in your head?]

‘All of them. ’

I was dumbfounded by Lee Sung-min's answer.

"There is also a feeling that we follow the will of our teachers. I have faith in myself. I have to trust you. I have to trust me. I have a role to play. It is not I who came back with the stones of my past life, but I believe that I came back as a ’country.' You said you might have died to see me. So I trust you. ’

[That's irresponsible.]

Heju grins.

[I promise you this one thing. If you become an uncontrollable monster, this old man...... will stop you from becoming uncontrollable even if you accept my existence's extinction.]

At that, Lee Sung-min smiled faintly.

< Do whatever you want. >

The last will and testament was approaching.

< Do whatever you want, and don't regret it. Just like the script did. >

I was going to.

< Finally, I'm sorry I died first. >

At the end of the will.

< I have a small question. Basically, the Emperor Yang Seventeen Thousand. Was he the most expensive one? The Maddozens, of course, but they're quite curious. We can't be sure at this time how the throne died. Of course, in my mind, the throne is the most expensive in the world. >

[The world was the most humble and the most expensive of all.]

Heju mutters.

< The script must have died as the script. >

The last sentence in the will is.

< Proving that it is the lowest, highest price. I can't wait to see how that plays out. >

In the meantime, the tetrarch is confident of what will be proven as death, hoping for his own death.

Yehwa no longer cried. Scarlet sighs. Lee Sung-min quietly put down his will.

“I'll eat.”

With a brief silence, Lee said so. Yehwa looks surprised, and Scarlet rises to his feet.

“... Are you serious? ”

“It was a will, and I decided to do it myself. ”

“But... that's... terrible. ”

Scarlet shudders and mutters.

“You don't eat it alive...? ”

“That's okay…… ”

Scarlet hesitates, and answers with a quivering voice.

“It's the Lord's will…… Do as the Soviet Lord wishes. ”

That's what I said. I closed my eyes as if I didn't want to see the painting anymore. Lee looked down at the corpse of the tetrarch with a firm look.

“…… Select. Yeah, that's a choice. ”

Osla opened her mouth in an uncomfortable silence.

“Runners are cowards. Dead, but knew I'd do this. I remembered what the Sovereign Lord said, and I knew he was bringing the body into these woods. And...... he knows what I'm going to do next. ”

Osla chuckles.

“This is the kind of work I can do. It's not like I'm going out of the woods myself. Yeah, so I don't have to be penalized. No one will ever punish me for what I did. ”

“…… what? ”

“It's a choice.”

In answer to Lee Sung-min's question, Osla answered.

“It's your choice, it's mine. You made your choice. I made mine. ”

Osla's wings spread slowly.

“Like I said before, I'm friendly with you. The Sovereign Lord is dead, and the Sovereign will be yours. So I have to be more friendly to you. No, leave it. If you have made a choice, I must help you as your assistant. ”

“How can you help? ”

“Let me ease some of your worries. ”

Osla raises her hands, saying so. The spreading wings of the butterfly glow brightly.

“Don't let those who drink liquor run wild. I'll seal the fortress. Even if it's not perfect, you won't turn into a monster right away. Again, not completely. Rather, the immediate seal may pose a greater danger when the seal is broken later. ”

“Better than rushing right now. ”

“You'll need to be prepared. ”

Osla mutters.

“If a sealed urethra crashes, something terrible might happen. The seals I'm about to seal aren't complete, so you need to be prepared to fully control yourself. ”

It reminds me of what the Mesh said. I said I would have to be prepared.

“I intend to. ”

Lee looked down at the corpse of the tetrarch again. When Osla sees it, she shakes her head.

“…… I think the meal you're about to have is pretty terrible. ”

“I suppose so.”

Cut out his chest and chew out his heart. Obviously, even packaging wouldn't look so good. Even if you have a mind, you can't do it mentally.

“Let me help you. ”

Osla sighs.

As she reaches out, the body of the dead quadriplegic shivers slightly. A red sphere appeared on the left side of the tetrarchist's chest. It resembles the power drawn from the Dragon Heart by the Spirit Queen.

“The method is important. ”

Osla mutters.

“Cutting out the teacher's chest, ripping out her heart. Drink blood...... and that virtue is to deny human relationships from the front. It's much better this way. ”

But that doesn't eliminate the risk altogether. Osla adds that, and sent a sphere of light towards Lee Sung-min.

“Eat.”

Osla says so, and spreads her hands wide with her wings.

“I'm going to start sealing. ”
