Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

113. Encounter (2)

#113. Encounter (2)

[ That guy, Arceli… I didn’t know he’d go there right after coming out of the abandoned building. ]

Berget was watching Cynthia’s image when he saw a divine being descending and he thought it was Arceli.

And his prediction turned out to be correct.

The one emitting the red aura was none other than the mad warrior Arceli. That was her.

[ Didn’t you predict it to some extent? ]

Berget’s attendant asked him.

At this he slowly shook his head and opened his mouth.

[ No, not at all. Now that I think about it, this must be your first time seeing Arceli. Come to think of it, her funeral was long. I had forgotten. ]

[ What on earth is she…? ]

[ As he is called the God of Madness. He must be crazy. ]

[Can I ask specifically how crazy you are?]

There are many different types of crazy people in the world.

Among them, Arcelius was an angel who was curious about what kind of madness he might have.

[ I guess it would be right to say that he doesn’t know either. She’s just a crazy b*tch who can’t even be predicted. Even if her skills weren’t outstanding, she’s a b*tch who wouldn’t be able to compete with her. ]

Berget thought that Arcelly would be interested in Cynthia, but only because Cynthia was a devotee, and Arcelly, who was also a devotee, would react.

Of course, this wasn’t something I was sure of either.

Like I said before, Arceli was a crazy b*tch.

[ She is a different species. She should not be seen as a normal god. She does not care about causality and acts as if it is natural. And yet, no problems arise. Do you know why? ]

[ … I don’t know. ]

[ Because causality protects her actions. To be precise, it can be said that there is no part of her will and actions that conflicts with causality. ]

[ What does that mean? ]

[ To give a simple example… Yes, that would be good. There is a saying, ‘If you do what your heart desires, you will not transgress or break the law.’ Arcelius is exactly like that. That is what it means to act as your heart desires without being restricted by the law of cause and effect. ]

[ Is it true that the will of the universe and her thoughts are in sync…? That’s nonsense… . ]

[ Of course, that’s not the case. If that were the case, Arcelius wouldn’t have become a god or a god of death. Anyway, let’s stop this story here. Since we have a special guest. ]

Berget’s gaze was directed to a certain space.

He allowed the guest to visit, and at the same time, the space distorted and a girl appeared.

The girl’s identity is Heron.

She was the goddess of light.

[ We must stop her immediately . ]

Heron insisted that they must stop Arceli as soon as they entered Berget’s residence.

At this, Berget snorted at her.

[ Why should I do that? ]

[ … You are the only one who can stop her. ]

[ You don’t think that would be the reason, do you? ]

[ Need more reasons? ]

[ No need. It’s quite bothersome for me to run into a being protected by the law of causality. Do you have another intention? For example… Do you want to transfer the karma of death that is in Cynthia to me? ]

[ … … . ]

Heron’s expression hardened for a moment.

At this, Berget snickered and continued speaking to Heron.

[ Are you curious about how I knew? I thought you would. You must have been jealous of that talent. Maybe you wanted to take me away from that world where the end is coming and make me your disciple. But… ]

From noble mtl dot com

Berget wiped away his smile.

And he revealed his divine power, the Moonless, and shot it at Heron.

The divine power of Muwol (武越), which transcends the energy that a being called a god of war should originally possess.

It was like tens of thousands of sharpened knives shooting out at Heron.

[ … Kkeut! ]

[ You can’t stand it when you try to use me? And didn’t I warn you? I said I would make Cynthia my apostle. She’s so arrogant now that she’s on the third throne. You little brat. ]

Even when Herron became a god, or even before he became a god and was still a mortal, Berget was still a god.

He had been on the throne of the pantheon since before that, and had existed as a god even before that.

[Don’t you dare try to take advantage of me, Heron. This is only a one-time warning.]

[ …all right. ]

Heron answered with difficulty, enduring Berget’s pressure. Then, the pressure she had been feeling disappeared all at once, as if it had been a lie.

[ Okay, I see. Let’s stop here. Shall we talk again? ]

[ … … Please stop Arceli. I will pay the price. ]

[ The price has been paid, but why? ]

[ If she intervenes, the karma of death will grow out of control. ]

Heron’s golden eyes shone.

Berget realized that she had seen some future through the future poem.

[ Cynthia is worried about dying . ]

[Because she will be a useful pawn to protect ‘that child’ from the threat of the apocalypse.]

That child meant Han Seong-jin.

An undying being that must leave with the end.

[There is nothing hidden. Now, I would like you to tell me your opinion.]

Heron revealed everything he was thinking, and all that was left was for Musin to choose.

[ Okay my opinion is… ]

Musin smiled and took a deep breath.

Heron’s face was distorted by that sinister expression. When that person made that kind of expression, there was usually only one conclusion that came out.

[ It’s a rejection. ]

Musin decided not to intervene in Arceli’s situation.

[Because I think that would be more fun.]

He, like Arceli, was treated as an outcast among the gods.

[ but…. ]

Just as Herron was about to give up on persuading the god and leave the god’s residence to learn about other gods, he opened his mouth again.

[ To make this situation more fun, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to take one step. ]

Taak. The god’s hand flicked and his energy, Muwol, seeped into the mirror reflecting Cynthia.

“That’s not how you use a launcher!”

Arcelius moved Cynthia’s projectile through her clone.

She moved the projectile through an intuitive and simple route that Cynthia could understand.

“Look carefully. Newbie.”

“Oh, yes!”

“This is how to use a thrower!” Quagwagwa-!

The fierceness of the aura emanating from Cynthia instantly doubled.

It was a phenomenon that occurred simply by touching some of the emotions inside her.

“Wow!”

Cynthia was impressed by the demonstration of skilled throwing.

As my heart burned brightly, my spirit of dedication grew exponentially and spread out in all directions.

And it swallowed up everything around it.

Originally, her throwing machine fought fiercely against the surrounding disasters, but when she moved the throwing machine as guided by Arceli, the energy tore the disasters apart.

Lightning strikes, lava debris falling from the sky, and giant tsunamis no longer threatened Cynthia.

“Archeli is the best!”

Cynthia jumped up and down and clapped her hands towards Arceli.

“Hahahaha! I’m a pretty good god after all!”

Arcelius was weak to praise.

And she moved even more excitedly to hear Cynthia’s compliments.

“Are you aware of the situation you are in now?”

“What is my situation?”

“I see. You wouldn’t know. You are currently in a state where you have been given the ‘fate of death’ due to the large amount of chaotic karma!”

“yes?”

“To put it simply, all of this nonsense is happening to kill you! Just take it that way!”

“ah…!”

While talking about the Karma of Chaos and such, Cynthia immediately understood what Arceli meant when she explained it intuitively.

At the same time, her complexion turned pale.

“So, does that mean that the fate of death will create this situation until I die…?”

Cynthia gained the power to resist fate, but she thought that if this fate continued for her forever, she would not be able to live a normal life.

And that also meant that I couldn’t be with Han Seong-jin forever.

Because a being with this kind of fate will inevitably cause harm to those around them.

“Hahaha! Don’t worry about that! Rookie. The total amount of destiny is fixed. If you endure it, your destiny will naturally disappear. The same goes for the destiny of death. If you endure this ordeal long enough, your destiny will disappear.”

Arceli kindly explained to Cynthia, piloting her projectile to continue sweeping away the disasters, sending them back to nothingness.

“however….”

“huh?”

Cynthia had one question after hearing Arceli’s words.

“Isn’t there a way that fate is amplified when others intervene?”

Among the knowledge she gained as she reached transcendence was that of amplification through the intervention of fate.

I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it… But since he is a god, he must know more than I do and have prepared for it, or I could be mistaken.

What needed to be asked was what needed to be asked.

Finally, Arceli answered.

“… Now that I think about it, that’s true?”

Arceli scratched her head and answered.
