#976. You can do it

Trust is like medicine.

When used well, it makes human relationships deeper and stronger and makes even impossible things come true.

In fact, there are countless precedents of longevity who achieved a miraculous come-from-behind victory with the trust of their superiors, or couples who trusted their lovers and achieved difficult love.

But trust is poison.

In the sense that if you go beyond the limit, even the strong relationship will be destroyed and even the things that could have worked out will be destroyed.

There were many more cases where people trusted their superiors but were betrayed and died on the battlefield, or were tricked into misery by lovers they trusted.

Nonetheless, trust is required.

Those who don’t trust anyone and don’t have any relationships end up pushing themselves into loneliness and despair.

how much to spend

Depending on the degree, it can either save or kill people.

Ultimately, trust can kill or save users depending on how it is used.

So this moment.

The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection had no choice but to confirm it over and over again.

[…do you believe your world will be okay no matter what we do?]

“At least until I kill you all, it’ll be okay.”

[There are so many means we have prepared to subdue your world that you can’t even imagine.]

That was no exaggeration.

A monarch-class constellation that has reached the pinnacle among countless stars even if it is only the watchman of the rolling cycle of reincarnation.

Even if it’s power accumulated through expedient methods, that’s why it can wield relatively more power than other Constellations blocked by the barriers of the Nine Worlds.

That alone was enough power to destroy a world.

After all, that’s just the beginning.

As much as I have already suffered many failures.

What the Constellations prepared was not only the watchmen of the rolling cycle of reincarnation.

No matter how thoroughly Limon and the seven princesses prepared, if they didn’t join hands, their world would be destroyed.

The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection affirmed.

But…

“No matter what you do, humanity will persevere and survive.”

[…that’s fanaticism.]

“You’ll see that later.”

Why?

no basis.

Although there is no reason.

without an inch of shaking.

The golden eyes of a man full of only confidence.

Looking at those eyes that can only be thought of as fanaticism beyond blind faith, yet you can’t help but laugh at them for being foolish.

The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection finally understood.

[…Is the negotiation broken?]

“I should have said it. There is no room for further discussion between us.”

[Can’t you think about it again?]

I didn’t know.

He could tell from his eyes that no matter what he said, Limon would not change his mind.

Even so, the reason why the benevolent guardian of resurrection asked repeatedly was not because the loss so far was more than anything but the existence of Limon.

There was a more fundamental reason.

[We also have attachments to humanity.]

“Attachment? Are you to mankind?”

[This is not just a word. Actually, there is a reason.]

“What is that reason?”

[That’s…]

It’s like you’re hearing all kinds of bullshit.

When the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection was about to give a detailed explanation to Limon, who snorted.

Another ringing sound was heard.

[Stop wasting your time with useless ■.]

After the sound that puts pressure on your mind.

Another starlight appeared next to the benevolent guardian of resurrection.

The constellation in the form of a half-human, half-bird resembling a crow with three heads gleamed with two pairs of eyes except for the head in the middle.

[…Even the hardliners would have agreed to give me the right to negotiate first.]

[This opportunity given to you is over, so the only thing left is a fixed outcome.] [

It’s not up to you to decide.]

Monarch level When the angel rises in the same way as the gaze of the crow, which exudes a sense of intimidation as powerful as the constellation itself.

Another echo intervened.

[that’s right. It’s not something to decide ‘the crow that watches over glory’ alone.]

[…!]

[But, no matter who sees it, it seems that the negotiations have already been decided?]

Another starlight appeared behind him before he knew it.

Looking at the constellation in the shape of a small boy with a bandage on one hand, the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection frowned slightly.

[…Is that the opinion of the neutral faction, ‘a prankster playing with fate’.] [

My opinion is the opinion of the neutral faction.] [ I

‘m asking this seriously.]

[I’m answering seriously. If I make a decision in the first place, there will be no kids to oppose.]

But the guardian couldn’t deny the playful joke.

There are very few monarch-level Constellations.

It’s an exceptional existence among the constellations.

Even if the factions were different, there were few Constellations that could openly go against the opinions of monarch-level Constellations.

In particular, the word neutral is only neutral.

In reality, it was a group of individualistic and selfish Constellations who had no interest in either hardliners or moderates.

It was true that the boy’s decision was the will of the neutral faction, as no Constellation dared to oppose the decision made by the prankster who played with fate.

And the reason why he intervened, who, like a neutral party, would have watched an exorcism and ate rice cakes, was obvious.

[By the way, it’s really interesting.]

[I was nervous when I saw it from afar…]

[I can definitely tell when I see it up close.]

In the meantime, the boy saw the Santa Maria.

No, to be precise, he watched the gray-haired man on the bridge with interest and opened his mouth quietly.

[-I guess it was you. He stole our power.]

That moment.

Yuna-kyung saw it.

Even an angel with one wing blurred.

Also a pair of crows with closed eyes.

Each of them flinched at the words of the boy with a bandage on one hand, or, conversely, his eyes brightened even more.

[It’s strange, it’s strange.]

[There are not one or two children who died from being cut by these humans, but that’s because those bastards left the constellations due to the descent of the constellation.] [It’s understandable if you lost your fingers while clumsily trying to interfere like observers of all things reflected

. I can.]

[We’ve been keeping an eye on this human for a while, but we haven’t intervened directly yet.] [―At

least in this time period.]

As if suspicious of something.

After muttering something meaningful.

The boy’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Limon, and his eyes deepened strangely.

[But no matter how you look at it, he’s not a regressor.]

It’s been a while since he observed Limon in detail, as if he could see through his soul and even the traces of time engraved deep inside him.

Still unable to find what he was looking for, the boy finally tilted his head and asked openly.

[How did you steal our power?]

He seemed really curious.

The angel and crow also closed their mouths and looked at the boy’s question, which was filled with curiosity rather than anger.

one day, for no reason.

For those who lost part of their strength along with parts of their bodies as if they were literally struck by lightning, they wanted to know why and how.

“Uh…”

Yuna-kyung groaned.

I didn’t even get a direct look.

The aftermath of the gazes of the three Constellations alone made me feel a sense of pressure that made my body go numb.

The stare of the constellation that was so powerful was exerting practical power like a kind of demonic eye.

‘This is a monarch-level constellation…’

As much as I’ve fought against countless constellations.

He had the confidence to deal with even the monarchs.

However, the existence of the monarch-class constellation that I actually encountered for the first time was known.

The fact that not all constellations are the same, and that these three are completely different from the constellations she has seen and experienced so far.

Not to mention, there are only three monarch-level Constellations.

How dangerous this situation is, trapped in a dungeon with hundreds of other constellations.

I felt a sense of danger all over again.

“―When the trifle is over, come on.”

but right after that.

The pressure Yuna-kyung felt was gone.

It was because the presence of the man who naturally embraced her as she took a step forward protected Yuna-kyung from that gaze.

“After all, there will be no reason to be curious about such things any more.”

[….]

[…]

[….]

After becoming a monarch-level Constellation…

or even before becoming a Constellation, was it because he had never heard such an arrogant provocation?

All three constellations are silent, even the stars are frozen, and Yuna-kyung opens her eyes wide like a dove hit by a slingshot.

[Ahahahahaha!]

Only one.

After the emergence of monarch-level constellations.

Labyrinth Man, who stepped back and muttered to himself, rather burst into madness.

[Yes, that’s how it should be! That’s why I’m worth waiting here until now!]

Of course I knew that.

And of course it seems like it should be.

While Labyrinth laughs madly and disappears as starlight, the light of the dungeon where Santa Maria is confined becomes clearer.

The three Constellations that had been stopped also gradually began to disperse.

[I’m sorry.]

[Pay the price for your arrogant and arrogant voice.]

[Hmm, it’s a pity. I wanted to know what kind of prank he was playing, even if he kills me when

he kills me.

After Labyrinth and the three constellations disappeared like that.

The dungeon where the Santa Maria was confined began to change.

Numerous constellations that were dimly lit disappeared, and instead, the barrier made of light began to twist strangely.

time and space.

dimensions and coordinates.

matter and soul.

The scene where all of them are mixed, intertwined, added and then divided is utter chaos.

It was a whirlwind of madness that would drive the average person insane just by looking at it.

and seeing the sight.

Limon had a hunch.

This is truly a labyrinth of stars.

It is a hell in this world full of dangers that make even a god wander forever in the gaps of time and space and even a devil can despair if he goes the wrong way once.

I couldn’t even stand still.

The barrier of starlight, which had already begun to wriggle and narrow, was gradually pressing on the Santa Maria.

Hell even if you go.

Even if you stop, you will be ruined.

At that alternative option, Limon thought.

‘As expected, it must be difficult to get out of here with my own strength.’

In the first place, this was a trap intended to catch him.

Instead of fighting head-to-head, it’s a labyrinth that he made himself wander into this infinite chaos and then collapse.

No matter how hard he was, he didn’t have the confidence to break through this labyrinth.

In this gap of time and space, losing the Santa Maria itself leads to his defeat and death.

So Limon asked quietly.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“…in or out?”

“Why are you asking the obvious?”

“You know that’s a lot harder than just escaping from here, right?”

“I guess so.”

just running away.

Breaking this dungeon.

It was obvious enough that even a child knew which of the two was difficult.

Even so, it wasn’t just because the Constellations couldn’t wait to see them run away anyway that Limon chose the path they were going on.

“-But if it’s you, you can do it, right?”

Without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

After staring at the golden eyes looking at her with firm faith, Na-kyung Yun finally let out a sigh.

“Anyway, the team leader also works too hard on pets.”

“What can I do? My pet is so capable.”

“If you knew that, would you treat me well?”

“do not worry. When I go back, I will definitely ask you to give me high-quality food.”

“Do you know that I am a bird head!? You should at least give me a piece of cake! Topped with fresh strawberries!”

While grumbling like that, he strode forward and sat down in the cockpit in the middle of the bridge.

Yuna-kyung opened her mouth.

“Shinsingah.”

[I Have Control.]

Wiying.

It was right after that.

After the unmanned vacuum cleaner on the bridge was transformed and combined with the cockpit.

Goggles, a circlet, and a bracelet, as usual, were complex machines, but more like a pilot’s uniform than armor wrapped around Yuna-gyeong.

The moment Yuna-kyung, who became one with the Santa Maria through the medium of the ancient spirit, grabbed the control stick tightly.

“Santa Maria launch!”

Wow!

The sleek, streamlined hull became a ray of light and shot toward the middle of the labyrinth.
