The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 578:

Reunion.

Kang Seol’s memories of him were incomplete.

There was no divinity in a fake god, and memories were too much for a fake human.

The feeling of vaguely recalling memories of a drunken day.

Nevertheless, the name Yuriko remained strong.

“Yurikora….”

Kodon giggled.

“There is no Yuriko here, snowman.”

Kkokkit…

Tansia said, holding on to Kang Seol’s clothes and stepping back.

“I’m scared…”

Kangseol held her hand and looked at Codon.

Kodon said indifferently.

“I guess you know everything now, right?”

“Are you the one who created the eternal world?”

“No, it is just another name for domination and a tool to control destiny. However, the person who created it is perhaps greater than the gods, and is the person who created this universe.”

“Then what about the Revelator? “Was it you who was the revealer?”

“… To some extent, that can be said to be the case.”

“What do you mean?”

“I am the influence of time on a limited universe. I am not completely one, and only a part of me exists where the event is. So, I here too am just a part of the existence called Codon.”

“…Where is Kodon now?”

“I can’t reveal it. No, only Kodon can answer that question.”

In other words, it is true that the time being called Codon is involved in all of Pandea’s time and brought the situation to this point, but it is all the work of a part of Codon.

There was no way to know where the main body, which could be called a real codon, was hidden. Also, what is his true purpose and what future does he see?

And there was one thing that stuck.

“Your power… didn’t only extend to Pandea?”

“Time is invading consciousness. I am closer to time than ever before, and my universe has gradually expanded.”

“… How far has it expanded?”

“Only Kodon can answer that too.”

A codon that loses itself.

It used to have a human mental world, but now… it is gradually becoming unknowable.

“I have been holding my breath. There was silence for a long time. Just for this day.”

“… Yuriko, you didn’t tell me everything.”

“….”

“Did the present exist in the future you saw?”

Did this all go according to his plan? If it was intentional, is it really all right?

Kodon smiles faintly.

“What do you think it will be like?”

Snowfall closed her eyes.

This answer made a lot of things clear.

Everything was in the palm of his hand.

Seeing the future means seeing destiny.

And walking through time.

He created the current snowfall.

‘But…’

I still don’t understand.

“Why did you need me?”

“….”

“If everything were to go according to the future you chose, my existence would have no value to you, right?”

Codon is time.

A being that even God cannot help but fear.

If he used his power, he could punish the heavenly gods even now. They could have been sentenced to death.

Moreover, it would not have been necessary to choose this method.

Nevertheless, Kodon dared to walk this winding and twisted path.

“Why?”

“What did Yuriko and Asmodon really want?”

Kodon asked back.

“The desire for revenge becomes dull. The desire for survival is dimmed. “Everything loses value over time.”

Ur, who was listening to the story, laughed.

“Is it time depression?”

A symptom of being buried in the great value of time and becoming a broken clock.

It is mainly experienced by time mages and was warned of this several times during the time of Ur Kagon.

“It’s different from that.”

“What’s different?”

“Because only one value is still great.”

“Ho….”

“It’s freedom.”

“….”

Snowfall was silent.

This is because there was a part of Codon’s story that was understandable at first glance.

Clearly, his anger toward the gods who brought him down to earth still burns.

But now that he knew everything, something even more began to stir within him.

It’s aspiration.

He also hopes for the human freedom that Yuriko and Asmodon dreamed of.

Kodon explained why he brought Kangseol into this matter.

“It’s time for me. But this makes me dull and upset.”

When he moves, the transcendents of the universe take notice.

He realizes that he existed as a thief of metallurgy time.

“I stand out. They are discovered by beings more powerful than gods. “They blow me away with a sigh, they defeat me with a wave of their hand.”

This is what Kodon realized as he experienced tens of thousands of times other than the present.

You can’t beat them.

Then…

“This revolution must take place without them knowing.”

I needed a quiet knife.

“The revolution must be carried out quietly and reasonably so that no one can doubt it.”

A challenger who hunts down the god of a planet. It can only be seen that way.

It’s not common, but it’s also not something that will never happen.

“That’s you, snowman.”

“….”

“Nothing of yours was stolen. “These are the things you achieved.”

Codon took advantage of the snowfall.

“I just needed that strength.”

your suffering.

your overcoming

your sadness

your courage

your anger

Kang Seol asked hollowly.

“I was in pain.”

“….”

“We lost many people. “They are all precious to me.”

Kang Seol lost countless people until he reached supernova, a level beyond his challengers. Also his words.

“Freedom… was the world you hoped for really worth it?”

The monster in the clock tower speaks.

“Don’t be mistaken, snowman. You are a created being. He felt and acted like a human, but it was all a lie. “You were not born with someone’s love.”

Is he the devil?

“It was just made because it was needed.”

An empty existence.

Even humans who cannot escape from being a doll will be freer than a snowman.

A borderline person who cannot mix anywhere.

He is someone who cannot become anything.

“So you don’t know freedom. Therefore, this conversation is meaningless.”

As the conversation continued, my energy trembled, perhaps due to Kodon’s emotions.

Whioooooo…

terrible energy.

“You only do what I want. “Your life has been carved by me, just as you were created for.”

Snowfall protests.

“Really… the unknown future may be right, Yuriko.”

“… what?”

“You, who refused to be dominated and denied the existence of God… you feel like God to me.”

“… I?”

Kodon’s pupils blurred and he held his head for a moment.

“I… am… like… them?”

Dddddddd…

His instability was not much different from the story of a rift in time being torn apart.

Ur whispered warily.

“Snowfall alone endured all of human history. “He is a man with great patience, but he also endured it because he had to endure it.”

“… What do you mean?”

“This guy… may have already collapsed. “It may exist only as time, not as a human being.”

What does it mean?

Ur says:

“The only thing left is purpose. “A sense of duty that must be fulfilled… He is a monster wearing those shackles.”

Codon seemed to have recovered his senses quickly and grinned.

Sigh…

“Don’t go against me. “If you’re confused about which direction to point your blade at, everything you’ve endured so far will be in vain.”

“Yuriko.”

“Code.”

“… Yes, it’s called a codon. Is freedom that noble? “Is the freedom that will be given to us so great that countless lives will be burned at your will and we will endure your rule?”

Kodon said, his hands shaking.

Trying to grab the world with your hands.

“Life without freedom…life without will is not worthy of existence. “They are just breathing things.”

Anything that is not free is wrong.

This is Codon’s belief.

there is no answer.

That’s why I keep asking questions.

“If the world you hope for comes, are you sure that it will be a better world than the one we live in?”

“….”

At Kangseol’s question, Codon’s eyes shook like a boat caught in a storm.

Even he isn’t sure.

“So… if you’re not sure, why did you choose this path?”

I ask you.

Only then can we fight.

Why did you make me, a snowman, hold a broom to protect the winter?

Kodon said forlornly.

“Because this was the only road with no end in sight.”

“….”

“It was the only path that was not blocked by the wall of fate. “The reason is… I don’t know either.”

An uncertain future.

On the contrary, it awakened hope that we might be able to go further.

“Whether the new world is a better world or a more miserable world, it has already become an idea, so there is no reason for you, who were only created by me to disperse someday, to discuss it.”

Yes.

There was no reason to discuss it.

“He who fights only fights.”

“….”

“We are those people. “It is a match that will burn out to create new light.”

Yes.

That’s why…

“Burn until the end.”

“….”

“In the end, for me… for humans… for the world.”

Yes, like that.

“Deny fate.”

Dodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd~!

Chamaaaaaa…

Chamaaaaaa!

Kkeikkeek…

The cabin door opened and someone came up to the deck.

“…what is the situation?”

“The storm continues. “We’ve overcome this big hurdle, but we’ll hit it again before morning comes.”

Whoa…

Seolhong blew on his hand.

Some time has passed since a huge white tree sprouted in the center of the continent where Montra was located.

The water level has risen uncontrollably since the final war of Pandea.

Rain continued to fall for unknown reasons, and the land began to disappear.

Civilization was gradually erased.

Humanity had been abandoned by the land and was now facing destruction.

“It looks like it will be difficult to withstand this storm.”

A smart voice came from beyond the darkness.

He definitely existed somewhere.

“Tsk tsk tsk… that’s too bad. “This is the end.”

They are floating in the open sea.

Seolhong closed his eyes.

Now they knew.

Last time, I had a dream of being a revealer.

It was an experience that came to every human being at least once, and it also conveyed what kind of future he hoped for.

There were those who agreed with it and those who rejected it.

But it was decided what to fight for until the end.

There was a justification for this fight.

It’s not survival.

It’s freedom.

It tells you to prepare more clearly than before.

The last one.

They tell them to burn their lives and achieve something.

Seolhong opens his eyes.

May something magical happen when you open your eyes.

Crackling…

“….”

Chicking…

An unusual ripple occurred in the middle of the story.

It’s a joke!

Three beings tearing through a gap in time.

Urtancia.

And snowfall.

Whioooooo…

The waves calm down in an instant.

The power to calm the storm.

Tooooong…

The snowfall subsided and rose, leaving ripples in the motionless sea.

He is floating on the water.

“snowfall!”

“….”

Huiiiiiik-!

The rope fell next to him, but Kangseol jumped high and climbed onto the deck of the ship where Seolhong was.

Tancia and Ur too.

“I’m back…”

Seolhong couldn’t finish what he said.

Because I found out who he was.

He is the sword that will pierce the hearts of the gods in order for humanity to survive and achieve freedom.

Everyone gathered here knows this.

So we have to let him go.

“… I see.”

“….”

“Can I ask your old friend a question?”

Kang Seol nodded.

“What should we… do? “We… no, you…”

says the quiet Carl.

Breaking through the chaos and coming out.

The reason he was born and the reason he runs.

“… fight.”

Siik…

The commanders of the battleship smiled when they heard those words.

Crumbling!

The storm began to return.

To stop them.

Don’t let the quiet sword challenge the sky.

“Fleet…”

Seolhong declares.

“Lights on.”

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

Lights that turn on at the same time.

Hidden battleships revealed their presence.

Wow…

that’s a huge number of ships.

The coastline of light was aiming at the storm.

“The goal is….”

To where the sword should be.

“It is heaven.”
