The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 585

“Ha… Huh… Huh oh…”

The god of madness, separated in half, gasped.

A being helplessly swept away by the power exerted by the Infinite Emperor.

I once looked to him for salvation, prayed for a miracle, and asked for peace.

“Hehe… Hehehehehehe…”

The blood flowing out from behind the mask made the red mask even darker.

“How…”

His death is beyond doubt.

“Why… gave birth to me…”

So this is a will.

“Are you taking me away…”

The sun and moon in his eyes disappear over his eyelids.

God welcomes twilight.

“Ah… my dear….”

“….”

Snow covered his dead eyes.

With this, God died.

They say they are each other’s father and claim responsibility.

It’s that kind of world to begin with.

Kang Seol looked around.

As he landed in heaven, he took in this extremely peaceful place with his eyes.

The broken building only left traces on the water but did not disturb the landscape.

Tong…

Clouds are reflected on the water.

High heaven.

This will be a place where no one lives anymore.

You are alone.

It took a really long time.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu00

_

Yuriko is standing.

He turned around and spoke with his back to the snowfall.

“No snowman… snowfall.”

Even though he achieved what he wanted, he still feels lost.

“Have we won? … Have we achieved true freedom?”

I can’t answer.

A universe was created in which the Judge and the Council could not intervene, but they were merely revealed.

There are many fates that are not revealed.

That’s what keeps them doomed.

“What is freedom that I and Asmodon wanted…?”

I look back after coming this far.

“Perhaps freedom is something we have never seen before… and unlike fate… it may not exist.”

“… Yuriko.”

Are you trying to say that it is vain?

“Isn’t it really… amazing?”

“….”

A mage engulfed in heat.

Are you eager again?

“Chasing after something that doesn’t exist. It’s really stupid…”

He laughed.

“It’s really cool.”

His bloodshot eyes are everywhere.

It was transparent and clear.

Confidence in your heart.

“Hey. “I was afraid.”

A fear that exists in everyone.

Can we reach it?

Can we reach there?

… I?

“Even though I wanted it, I doubted whether I could do it. … I didn’t trust you.”

no.

“… me.”

This is Yuriko’s story up to this point.

Sigh…

I take out half of the mask.

It’s a crappy mask with only fragments left.

A mask left behind by Asmodon.

The person wearing the funny mask is not Yuriko.

That’s the codon.

Codon says:

“Codons have to exist. To bring everything back.”

“… you.”

“….”

“What will happen to you?”

He tried to ignore it and continued talking.

“Snowfall, the path you have taken… there will always be a reward. The expectation that things will get better than now must have pushed you forward. “It’s simple.”

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of…

Codon’s final power.

“So… it’s the same this time too.”

Clap!

Clap!

Grandfather clocks suddenly rose from the surface of the water.

Tick…

Tick…

The ruled paper was moving busily.

There are many broken and fragmented grandfather clocks in heaven.

The second hand turns even though it is wet.

A clock turning backwards.

“Fix the timeline. “We end our long voyage by dropping anchor here.”

It is impossible even for God to control time not only for himself but for the world.

But at this moment it is possible.

The Judge’s Stash.

This is because of the pure white fragments scattered across the galaxy. Before they fly further into the dust of space… just one chance.

It goes back to that power.

Hwioooooooo…

pure white.

Color the world.

The souls of all ages who stayed in the snow for a while are scattered to the earth.

Snow begins to fall from the sky.

That pure white thing will cover the charred planet.

It will cover painful wounds.

“I will give you back winter.”

That is the reward of the final adventure.

Tsuzuzu…

Tsuzuzuzu…

Codon’s body becomes blurred.

He, too, is pulled to pieces by the pure white power.

To the world of the soul.

Reincarnate.

However, he can have a little more leisure time than others.

Because I haven’t returned everything I stole yet.

“… hi.”

He leans back and falls from heaven.

Whioooooooooooooooooo… I’m

thinking about it as I fall.

No, I go back to that moment that I had secretly hidden.

To that moment that helped me endure for eternity.

“Yuriko. What are you thinking about?”

“… Asmodon.”

It’s his own escape.

Not noticed by anyone.

Because he stole so much time, even if a moment’s worth of time was missing, it was not detected.

It’s Kagon’s time.

Central square as always.

Above the clock tower.

Cold frost settles down the bridge of Asmodon’s nose.

“uh? It’s snow. Shall we go in?”

“No… just a little bit.”

“huh…?”

Yuriko looks at Asmodon and smiles.

“Let’s stay like this for a little while.”

A mage who has been preparing for eons.

Have they achieved freedom?

I do not know.

Has a better world opened up than before?

I don’t know this either.

One thing is certain.

They faced fate and stood up in the end.

Crossing the line between good and evil, breaking those standards as well.

That he fought with all his might.

That much was certain.

“It’s been a long time since I took a break…”

Asmodon looked at Yuriko and smiled.

“… I know.”

He turns his head to the snow falling from the sky.

“It’s winter.”

Then, as if he remembered something, he looked back at Yuriko.

“You know, Yuriko. Our Nunsa….”

He is not there.

“… Yuriko?”

Time went back and their daily lives began to return.

Asmodon’s body also returns to time.

“… I see.”

Smile.

“You did it.”

* * *

Boom!

“… who are you?”

Thump thump thump…

“Who are you?”

“Um… So… I um…”

Kkeeeeeeeek…

“… Troll?”

“Hahaha… That’s right. troll.”

“Why are trolls in this outskirts….”

“I’m looking for someone. “First of all, the name is…”

When the troll mentioned someone’s name, the landlord responded indifferently.

“Hey! If you walk that way, you’ll come out. “I’ll be with my son.”

The troll carrying the luggage expressed his gratitude and walked slowly to the place the homeowner had mentioned.

Because the sun was setting, I started walking faster.

A human shape is visible.

“uh? troll?”

“ha ha ha! “I’m sorry you’re busy.”

“It’s okay, the work is over.”

The troll’s eyes turn to the crops.

It’s a pumpkin.

A pumpkin that is growing very well.

Pumpkin patch.

“Here is a person named Lian Kuros…”

“…”

The man hesitates.

The troll has already made up his mind, so he calmly waits for an answer.

I made a fuss a few times.

So it’s okay.

“Are you looking for your father?”

“Father… you mean?”

“huh. father! “Is your father a guest?”

“Hmm?”

A man walking from far away.

“I heard you came looking for Lian Kuros?”

“Is that… me?”

The troll laughs.

You’ve found the life you want.

One of the lists in his book is crossed out.

The one who found happiness.

There were quite a few names crossed out.

Toki became a respected monk.

Yuhyeon is known as a peerless swordsman and punishes evil.

Zilliac and others made a lot of money by discovering enormous ruins.

I recorded each and every person who found a new life of their own.

The troll’s name is Mael.

… Yes my name is Mael.

Many of the names in my book have now been crossed out.

It definitely seems better than before.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“You idiot! Take it!”

Whoa!

It’s snowing.

“Ha… It’s particularly cold this year.”

It’s winter.

When it snows like this, the streets are full of lights and children.

“there! I told you to trim it round! “It was crooked!”

“no it’s not!”

The amazing thing is when it snows like this…

“Oh!”

“Awesome!”

Statues of you will be erected all over the world. I wonder if everyone is trying to vaguely remember you without even understanding the English language.

“Oh my…”

Whoops!

Whoa whoa!

The children are taking out their anger on the stern snowman.

“Guys, why don’t you quit?”

“Ugh! “It’s a troll!”

“You look so ugly!”

… Among trolls, I must have been quite handsome. This is a fairly harsh evaluation.

“Who cares!”

“Let’s run away….”

“Ik….”

Still, I’m glad I’m not ugly.

I guess my face was a burden to them, who were too young to choose to fight.

“….”

You wouldn’t know it by looking at a snowman so badly broken.

In the future and in the future too.

How much change will there be?

Has fate really disappeared?

Was your decision to embrace human malice really the right decision?

“I don’t know…”

Their evil is cunning, and they try to criticize and destroy everything while disguising themselves as pure.

“Even… yourself.”

I miss you.

When I walk down a snow-covered path, memories of you come flooding back to me.

The adventure road we went on with you.

Sometimes I remember the days I laughed and cried with you and it torments me.

I am the only one who remembers you in this world.

I was left alone in this world as an observer.

Sometimes it feels terribly lonely.

Someday…

“… Hmm?”

Someone put the broken snowman back to its original state. Not only that… I added a lot of different things.

Maybe we can have a conversation.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss…

“Is that you?”

The person who showed kindness to the snowman.

“Geek… I’m surprised!”

I’m surprised again.

Please don’t just say I’m ugly.

“It’s a troll!”

phew.

“is it so! “It’s a troll!”

“Ahahahaha! funny.”

“Let me finish asking the question from earlier. “Why?”

The way he looks at the snowman doesn’t look like an ordinary boy.

“Because you look lonely.”

“….”

“I thought I would be lonely. So…”

“I see.”

This truly brings comfort to the innocence of a child.

“What are the trolls doing in this remote village? “It’s a place with nothing special to see.”

“As far as the scenery goes, it’s okay.”

“ah! also! “That’s great!”

“And… there’s someone we haven’t found yet.”

“Who couldn’t find it? Are you looking for someone?”

“What can I say… it’s a personal matter.”

Recording and remembering.

This will continue for eternity as long as I live and breathe.

Come to think of it, I don’t know your name.

“Mael my name. “What is your name?”

“Asmodon.”

“….”

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh no… it’s nothing…”

No way…

no way…

there’s no way you’d find it in a place like this…

“Asmodon! ”

“You found it!”

Snowfall There is no way this record will reach you.

I don’t even know if fate exists.

I recognized it at a glance.

“uh! “Here!”

“Ahh! “What are you doing with a troll!”

“huh! “It’s a troll!”

“Ahaha! Okay troll!”

This child.

“My friend! Say hello!”

That brightly smiling child introduces himself.

I guess we can cross out two names today.

snowfall.

Where are you now?

Are you free?

Or… are you still fighting?

It’s okay here.

Don’t worry too much.

“What should I do now….”

“Are you asking me?”

“huh! Are trolls wandering?”

“Yes, I am wandering.”

“Then don’t you know a lot of interesting stories?”

“That’s an interesting story…”

I see.

This record may have to be passed on to someone.

Paralarak…

I will open the book.

“Let’s go back to the beginning of this story that begins now…”

Because these children deserve to be heard.

“This is what happened when a boy got involved in the gods’ dice game.”

“Eh… what is that? “Is the dragon coming out?”

“It’s coming out.”

“What about adventure? “Is there an adventure too?”

“It’s coming out.”

“The princess! What about wizards? “What about heroes?”

“It all comes out. But…”

It unfolds.

“It’s a very… trivial… intimate story.”

A very trivial story about confronting fate.

Star child Mael reports.

Where are you now?
