Sword of the Philosopher

After the conversation with the Star God ends, the video ends. The content of the videos from there... only kept Bredge live in a world that was slowly becoming painful.

"At last, the battle is approaching... Should I have told someone about the Star God I heard about... no, nobody would believe me. I told my friend, but it seemed like I was going to leave it inside my chest if I told someone else that it didn't make sense."

Bredge cuts his tongue once he gets there.

"... vain emotions are bothering my chest. The fact that nothing can be changed in any way comes to mind. It's so painful to know the truth, yet to be able to do anything... No, people caught in a vortex without knowing anything are also irrationally encountering despair. I'm no different from other people."

After telling him that, Bredge smiled mockingly.

"In the end, I just know the truth and I can't do anything... No, of course I didn't die for sure. I'm going to try my best to survive, but I'm going to be crushed by the sense of blockage that exists among people... the future of humanity is certain. There's no escape. Our world is over."

The video ends there. From here on out, it seemed like I was just recording what I felt every day.

"You've got important information."

Lord Forna shouted. I nodded little.

"I don't know what the weaknesses of the Star God are."

"It's subtle if you can call it a weakness."

"No, I've got one idea. I'd like to discuss it a lot."

Well, Forna exclaimed, and my friends, including Sofia, paid attention to me.

"Well, I don't know if this is going to work or not... Garc, I'll talk to you later."

Very well.

"Now, is this the end of the video viewing session... even considering the video playback time, it seems like it's not going to stop after the conversation with the Star God."

"We don't have that many, so let's check it out."

I nodded "OK" to Sofia's words and checked the video. It only talks about a world that is gradually breaking down from the perspective of the Bredge.

The feeling of closure that the world is over comes from this video... and this situation is falling on us now. Definitely, I won't let you do that - and I'll make up my mind again.

That's how I got to the last video. There is nothing after the date, check the contents.

"... I'm going to pull this place away."

So Bredge started talking.

The spiritual pulse has completely changed and most of the equipment will be out of use within a few days. The only way we can get it up and running is to abandon the facility. "

After talking, Bredge exhaled a lot.

"It's been months since the gods of the stars have arrived... and he's ravaging the city and the world to show how sweet the war between humans was. There is no way to resist it. Many weapons do not work for the star gods, and all countries are exhausted, leaving no power to fight... I thought some privileged classes would remain, but apparently the star gods will not allow it. Every human being, equally... destruction and devastation are pouring on us."

He lay down for the first time. Then take a deep breath.

I decided to keep this device in a safe. Even if you have it, it will all be useless. If so, it would be better to leave it here and store it in the facility... I don't know how far ahead this video is playing... but I can pick up magic enough to maintain the facility from the fine spiritual pulse, so no matter how many years have passed, this device should be usable. "

That's how we got... a lot of information about the Stargods.

Well, from me... to this point, I was just recording for myself. But from now on, I'm going to talk to the person who's watching this. "

Bredge stares at the lens. I felt like I had an eye for him.

How far into the future is this video playing... a year, ten years, 100 years? Maybe more. If the gods of the stars were in trouble in the distant future, the information I had would be of value. But if you don't need it, just throw it away. "

Bredge smiled. You look tired... like you gave up everything.

I couldn't do anything. Knowing everything, I couldn't even resist... but if you have the art of fighting, watching this video, I want you to destroy the Star God. That's my wish. "

The video ends. We were silent for a while. The finish is subtle, but there was some sentimental air.

"... who knows the truth?"

After I muttered, I operated the terminal and turned it off.

"Let's keep this as an important document... Do you mind if we keep it?

Asked Forna, she nodded mysteriously.

"Much better than what I'm dealing with... Well, I've got some important information, and now we're talking about the future... what do we do?

"First of all... let's start by sorting out the situation. On top of that, let's figure out how to move us again. It's just that it doesn't go on like this, just after a break."

Then I'll make you some tea.

Forna leaves the room to call the maid. In the meantime, I put the terminal on the table.

"... I don't think anyone named Bredge, who shot this video, has ever recovered it in the future."

It must be.

Lizzie agrees with me.

"And his information seems to be useful... to him."

"Maybe...."

I wonder what happened to him. Leaving this device in the facility, he went out... and got caught in a whirlpool? Or did he survive desperately?

I don't know how to survive knowing the truth... but I'm sure he has a plan. Nevertheless, it must have been difficult for him to see any form of life with only ancient technology.

I thanked him in my heart. Thank you - your thoughts have led us to the battle against the Star God -
