Chapter 359
TL: Zimmings
‘What are you talking about?’
How hard did me and everyone worked to create a world without Neliard and temples?
Finally, I defeated Neliard. And I came here to find Adrian, leaving my family’s concerns and anxiety behind..
But I can just leave everyone behind and stay here to be happy?
I’ll be happy here.
But what about my family?
What about my friends?
What about my colleagues?
‘I have to go back. It’s right to go back.’
Adrian’s voice was heard again as soon as I thought about it.
[Why do you think you can go back?]
‘What?’
[You barely came here thanks to my power and Neliard’s last power. Neliard is completely gone now, and I don’t have the power to send you back]
‘That’s…’
[Yes, Leblaine. If you go to the passage once again, the place you go through may be Mina’s world, or perhaps your first life, or maybe another world we don’t know at all.]
I stared blankly at the light.
Adrian said to me, standing tall as if rooted.
[Do you need to risk it to get back?]
“…….”
[This is the perfect world for you. A world only for you.]
“…….”
[So Leblaine, it’s good that you’re happy here..]
The light spread throughout the space. I was engulfed by the light. When the toes were completely off the ground…
“Hello.”
A voice came to my ears.
***
Adrian did not know how many years had passed since Agareth died and he became a pioneer.
At first, he counted the days, but after the number exceeded a hundred, he did not try to remember it.
Sometimes it was the past and sometimes it was the future, so numbers were meaningless in the first place.
But what was clear was that it was a terrible time.
Adrian witnessed the death of Leblaine countless times.
There was a time when he protected Lisette to protect her in the first life.
However, the family was defeated by the temple and Leblaine, who was young, was attacked by the fear created by the temple.
‘I can do it again. I can protect you this time.’
He returned to the day Lisette died and informed Theodore Dubblede where his daughter was.
The predecessor Duke Dubblede, who had colluded with the temple, followed Theodore.
The predecessor killed Theodore before he found his daughter, and Leblaine lived a more miserable life than before under his predecessor.
‘Again.’
The day before Leblaine was selected as the child of fate, he informed the Duke of Dubblede that his daughter was alive.
The temple and Dubblede fought a war over her.
The empire became a battlefield, and Leblaine was pointed out as the main culprit of the war.
A few days before Leblaine’s adulthood, someone who lost their child in a war killed her.
Leblaine of the first life died over and over again, no matter what method he used.
‘Again.’
Perhaps Leblaine was not trained to endure the world because she did not go through regressions.
He came to her second life, pushed the Duke of Amity, and destroyed Vallua. To make her choose Dubblede.
Then she was adopted by Marche this time.
Leblaine accidentally found out that Marche was intertwined with Ivan, the evil god, and was killed by the Duke of Marche.
‘Again.’
Then third life.
He informed Leblaine of his biological father existence. The same was true of Theodore Dubblede.
Theodore couldn’t look at the territory because he was focusing on his daughter, and around that time, the epidemic that swept the empire reached the Dubblede’s territory.
Duke Dubblede died of an infectious disease, and Leblaine had to suffer for her entire life, recalling her father who couldn’t meet her.
‘Again!’
This is her fourth life.
He did everything as he remembered.
He went to the her young self and prepared everyhting to protect her.
But in the end, the fourth life remained the same. Nothing has changed.
‘Again, again…!’
If not the first life, the second life, the third life, and the fourth life are possible, then ancient times.
Let’s go back to ancient times and make sure Neliard can’t win over Serga.
But he failed again and again.
‘How can I protect you?’
He hugged her cold corpse and cried.
How do he make sure she doesn’t suffer?
What should he do…….
His body was broken and lost in strength for breaking the passage of time for over hundreds of years.
Now, he had no power left to time travel, to cross parallel worlds, or to maintain his body.
The only thing he could do was to be left in ancient times, which was her ‘first life’ and just let his body go over time.
He lost his will and body.
He had no choice but to look at him who was growing up resentful of himself.
What saved him was…….
[Hello, crow.]
……It was her.
He became a crow and she reached out to him who was resting on a branch.
[Are you alone? I am alone as well.]
[My brother went across the river with Serga. I have to wait by myself. But I’m not sad. I have Boone, Pur, Baal… he’s a little mean, but I also have Pymon.]
[You won’t be sad because I’ll be by your side.]
He, who rested on her small hand as she visited her every day, was saved again.
When the child was next to him, children flocked.
The children, who had been chasing the crow all day, returned to their parents’ calls at sunset, and the child, who was left alone waiting for her brother leaned against the old tree.
One day, she hugged the crow and she cried because her older brother did not come for a very long time, another day, she looked at the children returning home and hold their mother’s hand with envy.
[Mom… … .]
The child, who had been muttering involuntarily, shook her head.
[No. I don’t need a mother. I have a brother.]
For the child who was lonely, he decided to use all his remaining strength.
He turned into Lisette with Amy’s power and waited for her in the old tree.
[This is my secret place with my friend the crow. Why are you here?]
When he reached out to the child behind the old tree, the child hesitated and stepped back.
[Brother said I shouldn’t follow the people I don’t know… … .]
[…….]
[…Who are you? You had the aura of a pioneer, are you also a pioneer?]
[Yes, I am a pioneer. So you can come by my side.]
[But…]
[It’s okay.]
[…….]
[It’s okay, sweetheart.]
The child, who had only been staring at him, cautiously approached him and hugged him.
‘Huh, why are you… … .’
He wanted to comfort her, so why is she comforting him?
The warmth permeated into his arms and became his strength. Again, thanks to that child, he got the strength to stand up.
‘It was you again after all.’
He was like an empty shell and had no strength to rise again…… but she saved him again.
She was someone who did not lose her light under any adversity. To love someone like that, he couldn’t give up easily.
As a result, he went through time that became a blade to him. Even though his skin were teared and his lungs were squeezed, but it didn’t matter.
The memory of being saved by her connected his teared skin, and the memory of loving her made him want to fight death.
One day, the world shook.
The parallel worlds divided into dozens has been integrated or broken. It was a sign that Neliard, the god of this world, had disappeared.
Adrian instinctively felt it even if no one told him.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
If he can’t save her on his own, let’s create a world for her.
The moment Neliard disappeared is the only opportunity to create a world for her.
Returning to ancient times, the aftermath of the future weakened Neliard, so he killed him with his own hands.
He took over the world.
He became a god and created a new world.
‘She needs to have parents to be born.’
He made Dubblede.
‘I need to make her friend who will always be on her side.’
‘I have to make sure her family isn’t seen as a villain.’
He made sure Lisette do that.
And…
‘… … I’ve been waiting for you.’
Hundreds of years later, he saw her again and she was still lovely.
To the point where he wants to run and hug her.
However, this parallel world itself is completely ruined, and his power is lacking.
He couldn’t be around, but he prepared the world for her.
That was it.
‘You must be happy.’
The probability of her returning to the original world is only one in hundreds. A smart kid like her wouldn’t take a risk.
So she won’t go back.
‘All you have to do is be happy.’
That was how he spent the day before the day of the beginning.
As soon as dawn came, his cracked body began to collapse with a sound.
‘In the last moment, I’m glad I met you.’
Leblaine.
Leblaine.
Leblaine…
‘I, to you….’
It was the moment when he smiled and closed his eyes.
Someone ran from afar.
“Adrian!”
Someone called her.
The girl’s weeping face could be seen in his hazy vision.
The intruder who proudly penetrated into God’s space hugged him.
He stared blankly at the child who rushed to gather his scattered body with small hands.
“Why…….”
“What do you mean why?! I’m here to pick you up!”
“But this world…”
Leblaine bit her lips and glared at Adrian.
“No matter how happy I am, it’s not fine if I don’t have you.”
“…….”
“I want to go with you. I will be with you.”
“…….”
“Fool, I, whom you love, have always grabbed happiness on my own. The happiness that others have made is not valuable to me.”
“…….”
Leblaine laughed.
“So let’s go back to our world.”
She saved him again.
