I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 429

Lie (2)

Sanctuary.

It is the world of constellations and the only place where the ‘law’ of the Creator God does not reach.

The shape of the sanctuary, made up of countless starlight as if it were created from the Milky Way across the night sky, looked like a huge tree lying on the ground.

The paths corresponding to the roots of the trees were connected to various parts of the earth, allowing the awakened people who had received the stigmata to go to and from the sanctuary, and the wide boulevards near the trunks became the roads that led the awakened people to the temples of the constellations.

If you walk up the Milky Way Road, what you see at the end is a road divided into three branches.

It was a road leading to the temples of constellations, each called the ‘North Star’.

If you go up one of the paths, you will see a huge silver temple.

It’s not decorated with fancy decorations or made with an elaborate structure that would make you gasp.

Anyone who sees the temple shrouded in brilliant silver will feel a sense of awe that will take their breath away.

This silver temple is called ‘Jiknyeo Castle’.

Because it was the temple of Vega, the constellation Lyra.

Jump and jump.

Ojin approached the front of the temple and slowly opened the door.

“Vega.”

He mentioned the name of the constellation who was the owner of this temple and who gave him the stigmata.

“….”

There was no answer.

“ha. See, I told you there was no use in coming to see me, right?”

Ha-eun sighed deeply and shook her head.

During the month that Ojin was confined to the corner of the room, she visited Vega’s temple frequently to check on Vega’s condition.

“It’s been like this ever since I first came here.”

Ha-eun looked at Vega, who was quietly closing her eyes as if she was asleep, bound by chains of light.

restrictions of the law.

She violated the rules set by the Creator God and began her ministry on Earth, and in return, she was bound by chains of light and imprisoned in the temple.

“You said most of the constellations are tied to this ‘chain’ right now, right?”

“huh. “Everyone is in this state except for the constellations that did not participate in the war at all.”

Fortunately, thanks to the weakening of the restrictions of the law, it did not lead to the extinction of existence itself.

In the war against the Black Star Constellation, the constellations that had developed a ministry to protect the awakened were locked away in the temple with their stigmata and rituals sealed away.

‘I’ve been like this before.’

At that time, I used Gaecheon to forcibly break the chain of light that was binding Vega.

From Ojin’s perspective, who was about to face Cheonma tomorrow, he could not hastily use Gaecheon.

‘Even if I use Gaecheon to break the chain, I won’t be in a state where I can manifest right away.’

Nevertheless, the reason I came here was because I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

The result of being played into the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

The words of a coward who was so overcome with fear that he was unable to take a single step.

“I’m sorry, Vega.”

If you used Gaecheon without hesitation.

As a result, Vega and other constellations would no longer need to use ‘Sanctuary’.

Could this outcome have been avoided?

When I’m once again crushing the regret I’ve been mulling over for a whole month.

[How… are you apologizing?]

A soft voice rings in my ear.

“Vega…?”

Ojin turned his head with his eyes wide open.

Vega, who was bound by chains of light, was looking at him with difficulty opening her eyes.

“Huh what is it? “Has the seal been broken?”

Ha-eun approached Vega with a puzzled expression.

Squeeze!

“Ahh!”

Sparks bounced from the chain of light and pushed Ha-eun away.

[If you come close… it’s dangerous.]

“Ugh. “This hurts terribly.”

Ha-eun frowned and flapped the hand that was touching the chain like a fan.

“What happened?”

[haha. I heard your… voice.]

Vega was chained up with a faint smile on her face.

Ha-eun pursed her lips and grumbled, ‘When I called, there was no answer.’

[You… don’t need to apologize… It was the woman’s choice to carry out her ministry.]

“….”

[I’m sorry… I’m sorry. Until the end… I can’t protect you… I can’t… Cough!]

“If it’s hard, you don’t have to say more.”

What Vega wanted to say has already been fully conveyed.

Ojin slowly approached Vega.

Pajik Pajijik!

Sparks flew out of the chain of light and immediately tried to push him away.

“I’m going to meet Cheonma tomorrow.”

I ignored the pain running through my hand and caressed Vega’s cheek.

[Going to see my wife Cheonma…? What do you mean…?]

“Now I have to end this awful relationship.”

Misdiagnosis in the past life and misdiagnosis in the present.

The time has come to put an end to the story of the two ‘Ojins’ separated by fate.

“I came to say one last hello before I go.”

[It’s the last time… What does that mean?] The goddess’s

eyes tremble with anxiety.

Oh Jin chuckled and shook his head.

“Well, it doesn’t mean I’m going somewhere to die, so there’s no need to make that face.”

[But…]

“When I’m done, I’ll come back and break this chain. “Hold on a little.”

Ojin looked at the chains binding Vega and shrugged his shoulders.

[Are you really going to come back?]

“Of course.”

[Can you promise?]

“As much as you want.”

[This time… isn’t it a lie?]

“Haha, I told you before.”

Ojin smiled slightly as he stroked the cheek of the goddess who was trembling with anxiety.

“I won’t tell any more lies.”

The low voice covered the anxious, trembling body of the goddess warmly like a blanket.

Vega’s eyes, which were shaking with anxiety, gradually calmed down.

[I will believe in your promise and wait.]

“Yes. “Then I’ll come back.”

When I nodded and tried to turn around.

[Oh, wait a minute.]

“Huh? why?”

[That…]

Vega glanced back at Ha-eun and gently pursed her lips.

The goddess, who continued to worry, soon closed her eyes tightly and opened her mouth.

[Give me this kiss…]

The goddess asks with her cheeks softly blushing.

As Oh Jin looked back at Ha Eun with an embarrassed expression, a deep sigh echoed through the temple.

“Ah, yes, I will remove any intruders so you two can live comfortably.”

[Jjjujjju… I didn’t want it to that extent!]

“Then I guess you wanted it on the other side?”

[That’s….]

“It’s the most outrageous thing, and it makes all kinds of decent people tremble.”

[How rude!]

Ha-eun burst into laughter as she looked at Vega, who was shouting with a bright red face.

“I’ll be out first, so come out when you’re done.”

Ha-eun tapped Oh-jin on the shoulder and walked out of the temple.

As soon as Ha-eun left, an awkward silence fell in the temple.

[…I’m sorry.]

Vega slightly avoided Ojin’s gaze, probably thinking he was being immature and foolish.

“I’m sorry.”

Although I promised to ‘come back’.

Perhaps she also had a vague intuition.

perhaps.

That I might not be able to keep that promise.

“….”

There is no certainty that one can defeat the Heavenly Demon.

I’ve thought of a few ways, though.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to win even if you do not know how much of it will work.

‘but.’

I will no longer hesitate or run away.

So I decided.

I swore like that.

Locking yourself in a dark room.

I promised myself again and again.

‘Let’s get this over with.’

Because of a boring relationship.

To a bitter fate.

It is the moment to put an end to it.

“I’ll be back, Vega.”

Pajik Pajijik!

Ignoring the trembling chain of light, I took a step closer to Vega.

A warm feeling against your lips.

Her emotions were conveyed through the skin that touched her.

A mix of anxiety, anticipation, worry, and regret.

A lump of unstable emotions, like looking at yourself in a mirror.

[My child…]

Our lips fell apart.

[No matter how dark the clouds are in the sky, do not forget that the starlight of the original woman is always with you.] The

goddess closes her eyes as if praying, with her hands folded neatly together.

Ojin nodded wordlessly and turned around to come out of the temple.

“Are we finished talking?”

“huh.”

“You didn’t even get up and give me a kiss, so I’m going to have to scold you.”

Ha-eun pouted her lips and pinched Oh-jin’s side.

“Would you like to do it now?”

“That’s it.”

joy.

Haeun snorts and turns her head.

“Later, when it’s all over… do it then.”

A faintly trembling voice was heard.

Oh Jin nodded quietly and took a step forward.

“But you’re not planning on going alone tomorrow, are you? “Then am I really angry?”

“don’t worry. “Because there is something I want to ask my sister.”

“Do you want to ask me a favor?”

Ha-eun opened her eyes and tilted her head.

Then he let out a short exclamation and snapped his fingers.

“Now that I think about it, I told you before that you were lying and all.”

Did you say that he stayed in his room for the past month and made a plan to deal with the ‘Heavenly Demon’?

“What should I do?”

“nothing.”

“…what?”

“You don’t have to do anything.”

Ha-eun’s expression distorted fiercely at the firm answer.

“What does that mean?”

Although it is far less than a misdiagnosis.

Still, she has the power to burn down even the Constellation’s Sanctuary, so she shouldn’t do anything?

“Are you saying I’m no help?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

There were only a handful of awakened people at Ha-eun’s level, even if you searched around the world.

He could probably do a great job in the battle with the Heavenly Demon.

but.

“My sister has a more important role than that.”

“…?”

Ha-eun frowned as if she couldn’t understand.

“Well, I’ll go back today and explain it to you slowly.”

“Okay. I get it.”

Ojin wouldn’t have said something like that without thinking.

“Anyway, do you know where to go tomorrow? “I heard there were some really strange things written about a place where fate diverged and all.”

“I know.”

How could you not know?

-I’ll be waiting for you at the place where your fate and mine diverged.

The place where the fates of the two ‘Ojin’ diverged.

The place created by Cheonma, who lost everything, and herself, who was burdened with too much.

“He will be waiting for me at the place where I first met Lee Shin-hyuk.”

“…That one-star crack?”

“huh.”

His and his fate.

There that day.

Because we split up.
