The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 244

At that moment, the atmosphere in the corridor became cold.

[Now… did I hear wrong? What are you doing with that guy? Yor, what nonsense are you talking about now!]

The connector of the six-way bridge shouted at Yor in a harsh voice.

[What did you hear from my explanation? This is absolutely not something to get upset about. Rather, it could be an opportunity for us.]

[Opportunity? It happened because you didn’t handle things properly in the first place!!]

At his reprimand, Yor shrugged his shoulders with an embarrassed expression and laughed.

[I? Did anyone expect things to go this way? Even you, Weiner, who can see the future, didn’t know, right?]

[….]

When Yor called his name, the guide in the fog closed his eyes in silence instead of answering.

[Yor, then you mean to give him a position of stature?]

[Yes. The humans became a clan of agents. As everyone knows, the Daeja clan was created by Wu. That also means that he has been released from the seal.]

As soon as Wu’s name was mentioned, the uproar among the people disappeared.

[In that case, we shouldn’t even give him a position of stature. Even so, the anger we feel toward him…]

Breeze’s mother looked at Namgung.

[What you want is not to become a god, right? Aren’t you back to live happily with your daughter?]

Her voice trembled.

[Since humans have become a proxy clan, if only these monsters are finished, the carnival will inevitably come to an end. Then you can live the life you want. Can’t you be satisfied with that?]

[Damn it… How did we end up like this? It’s as if I’m begging a human to look at me.]

The connector of the six-way bridge muttered as if he was displeased with the words of Breeze’s Mother.

[Well, I agree. Honestly, I would rather start a new carnival than deal with that person.]

The person handling the fire also nodded as if he agreed with Breeze’s mother’s words.

Since they were the two who had been treated harshly by Namgung, their anger was the highest among the statuses, but when they actually faced him, their anger disappeared and they only wanted to end the matter quickly.

“well. My desire to rise to a position of stature is not out of greed, but to receive a fair reward from the Octagonal War. “Because Wu ordered humans to become a clan of representatives, and I became the representative of that clan.”

The expressions on the faces of Namgung’s answers hardened.

“I came to get my reward.”

[You arrogant bastard… Are you saying you will fight us until the end? good. Do whatever you want. When you reach the position of greatness, you will have to deal with me first!!]

The connector of the six-way bridge growled and shouted at Namgung.

[Do you really want to do that?]

The guide in the fog cautiously asked Namgung.

“I guess I saw the future in your eyes. In that case, he has no choice but to rise to even greater status.”

[You’ve put in a lot of hard work, haven’t you? If you give up a little bit of greed, you can achieve ordinary but much happier results.]

“Can my life become ordinary now?”

[….]

She slowly stood up.

[All right. The compensation for the Octagon War is something we can do nothing about. If you want that, I too have no choice but to prepare for the future.]

Before leaving the corridor, she spoke to Yor.

[It will be painful in the future.]

Yor smiled strangely at her words and waved his hand.

[Now, anyway, the target of the phase battle has been decided. From now on, I will prepare for the birth of a new phase.]

Thump- thump- thump-

Before he could finish his words, the aspects disappeared as if a light had been turned off.

[Yor, as I expected, put the door into the black dragon’s stomach for the benefit of humans.] Unlike the

other aspects that disappeared, only the Sun and Moon Observers remained in the corridor and spoke to Yor.

[The items in the substitute clan’s bundle increase in grade according to the number of times the door is opened. Thanks to the doors that were pushed into the Black Dragon’s stomach, they were able to obtain weapons of incredible quality as soon as they became a substitute clan.] [

You’re not going.]

[Thanks to this, the desperate crisis was instantly reversed. The pouring out of monsters actually became an opportunity for them to collect heads. Humans became stronger in an instant, and thanks to the many monsters that still remain, they will continue to become stronger.]

[This guy talks a lot.]

[If we were in sync with each other, there’s no way we wouldn’t have noticed… The door was placed inside the black dragon’s body. The thing is, you did it without him knowing. They say it was an attempt to annihilate humans in a plausible way.]

[What do you want to say?]

Durga, the watcher of the sun and moon, asked back, digging her ears with her fingers as if she was annoyed.

[You still haven’t given up. Yor.]

[…What?]

[The desire to protect humans.]

At that moment, Yor’s expression hardened.

[God who gave birth to humans. Do you still regret feeding you the fruit of good and evil? That’s not you. It is just one of the memories of the past that has been passed down.]

Durga looked at Namgung.

[The position of the phase does not change, but the existence of the phase continues to change. We are not immortal, but we are beings who have inherited the spirit.]

[If you are going to talk nonsense, just disappear. Aren’t you going to participate in the phase war too?]

[But is it really for the good of humans to make them a clan of agents? The surrogate clan cannot escape the carnival forever. This isn’t the end. The carnival will continue to repeat itself, and each time humans will be called to the festival.]

Durga said.

[Humans will now suffer from the carnival forever.]

“Even so, it is better than being a participant in the carnival. “It would be better to live a life of helping future victims than suffering without knowing anything.”

Namgung refuted his words.

“But that doesn’t matter either. “Once I reach a position of stature, I will destroy the carnival.”

Durga smiled bitterly.

[It’s noisy. Who’s regretting what? It looks like you have a lot of free time because you think you can get a head start on the next carnival thanks to your contribution to the Durga pantheon… Then you get killed by Namgung.]

[Kkkkkkkk… Me? I have no intention of engaging in a phase war with him. What’s the problem with giving up a position of stature? Anyway, there are eight positions of status, and taking just one of them is enough.]

He said it as if it was surprisingly insignificant.

[To be honest, I don’t understand why Klift is so angry at him… but I am grateful. The target to shoot the arrow at has been decided.]

[Do you have no pride? Losing to a person who has just reached a new level is something that will be made fun of for a long time. That kind of thing should be prevented.]

[I don’t think that’s what you want to say. Be honest. If Klipt hadn’t refuted it, wouldn’t you have tried to participate in the phase war yourself? To give victory to Namgung.]

Yor snorted as if he was dumbfounded by his words.

[You are talking nonsense. Anyway, stop talking nonsense and go back. Because I have a lot to do.]

Durga smiled strangely.

[It’s a phase war… How long has it been? I’m looking forward to it since it’s the first time since the days when Yu and Ran were separated.]

He waved his hand at Namgung.

“I will be waiting. “For some reason, I feel like the phase war will never end.”

When everyone, including Durga, disappeared, Yor crossed his arms and sighed softly.

[Anyway, I have a good sense of the name and it doesn’t fit. That guy.]

“As expected, you were the one who put the door into the black dragon’s body. They put a lot into it. “Thanks to you, I was able to catch the Demon King.”

Namgung, who was listening to the stories of the Aspects, spoke to Yor with his arms crossed.

[Hmph, I was wondering where I got that incongruously large sword, and it turns out I caught an evil spirit.]

Yor nodded, pointing to the [Sword of All Evil] strapped to Namgung’s back.

[It’s not specifically for you. Because I just did what I had to do as a person of status. I have no intention of changing your intention to kill God, but I also have no intention of giving up lightly.]

“Thank you, though. “Thanks to you, we were able to end the carnival quickly.”

[I told you. I really did that to catch you.]

Seeing Yor rejecting Namgung’s words until the end, he didn’t say anything more.

[But what the Aspects say is not wrong. You may hate the people who started the carnival, but your wish is not to become a god, but to have a future with your daughter.]

“That’s right. At first, I cursed you guys for starting the carnival. But I knew you and thought a lot about you. “I also learned that the phase doesn’t just think of humans as pawns in a game.”

Looking at Yor, who had tears filled with the soul of Lu, the first human, Namgung could tell that he was someone who truly cared about humans.

[Then wouldn’t it be okay to give up becoming a phase?]

“No, in order to survive in the carnival, I made humans into a clan of agents. If things continue like this, whenever the carnival continues, we will have to participate as a substitute clan. Or, if you are even deprived of your qualifications as a representative clan…”

Like a demon, he could become the boss of the gate and have to fight again with new participants.

“I survived this time, but I don’t know what happens next. “In the end, you can’t escape this hellish carnival.”

[so? It really means that you want to fight the phase.]

“Of course. “Because you can’t kill a phase unless it’s a phase.”

Yor let out a low sigh, mixed with complex emotions.

[good night. That too is the path you decide. Do what you want to do.]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuong

.

Boom –

He struck down with his cane.

Sigh…!!

Then, along with black smoke, hundreds of magic circles appeared at Namgung’s feet.

[From now on, I will award the reward of the Octagonal War to Namgung, the representative of the human race. Our Eight Phases are ready to welcome a new phase.] As

the black curtain rising from the magic circle enveloped him, Namgung slowly closed his eyes.

“Yor.”

He said his last words before disappearing into the veil.

“Woo (无) is also of stature. When he dies, the bondage of the Daeja clan will disappear.”

[…!!]

Only then did I know Yor.

That’s why he wants to become famous.
