You and me under the world tree

She just stood there, watching the man slowly approaching.

Finally, her hand was caught.

"However, after all, there is a way to pursue it in this world, just like I caught you now."

At this moment, her complexion changed a little.

However, this is not because of any fear, it looks like a purely physiological problem.

That is, pain on the most basic physical level.

"You hurt me again."

Eyes half closed, Wurd said.

It was as if Hodder's pulling action had caused so much harm to the delicate and delicate her before.

However, she didn't just leave or disappear, she just stayed where she was.

It looked like it was waiting for something.

"Although I don't know if I have apologized, but no matter what it is for, I think I probably did something too much before."

Facing the gaze of the goddess Urd, the sage in the world whispered.

"Hmm, it's okay."

"However, I am not going to ask you for help."

"..."

She was a little surprised, but quickly closed her eyes.

"I have my own method."

"Even if the answer is right in front of your eyes?"

Epilogue One: Upstream

At this moment, the voice of the goddess of fate echoed like this.

Unknowingly, even Dietrich, who was listening, felt a little moved.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she could vaguely feel the huge temptation hidden in it.

Because she understands Hodder's current situation.

He knew that his memory had been modified, and he had actively tampered with it.

On the one hand, it is naturally to transmit some important information more effectively, and on the other hand, it is obviously to cover up certain secrets.

After all, she was not the former partner of the sage, and most of the things were dictated by the sage.

Therefore, she knew very little about his past experience.

However, she understood the danger.

In fact, one of the important reasons why he erased his own memory was to prevent those high gods from learning some important information from him after a fierce conflict with the gods.

And if you think backwards, you can easily come to that conclusion:

Once he knew a secret.

No matter from which point of view, this secret is very important.

Otherwise, there is no need to use such means to 'bury' this secret in the past.

Memory is modified or something.

This kind of taste is definitely not good, and maybe you will start to doubt yourself.

One can imagine the allure of a secret that needs to be kept even after paying such a price.

Not to mention, now Urd is right in front of them.

She is the goddess who represents the 'past'.

As she said herself, in a way, it was equivalent to putting the answer in front of his eyes.

Maybe you just need to ask aloud, maybe you just need to lower your posture, then the cloak covered with a seductive veil called 'unknown' will be completely torn off, revealing the true inner world called 'secret'.

In theory, it should be right.

But at such a close distance, he chose to refuse.

Why is this?

Almost at the same time, Dietrich suddenly felt a little incomprehensible.

But soon, this emotion dissipated.

Because she heard Hodder's voice.

At this moment, the sage finally spoke:

"Isn't that obvious?"

Suddenly, this voice directly touched the thoughts of Her Highness the Princess.

She felt as if she understood what he was thinking and what they had done so far.

This man has prepared for the Netherlands... no, it should be said that he has prepared for the entire human race.

Although some people may question his qualifications and feel that this man has no right to make choices for everyone, no matter what, he does give the weak races living in the atrium world a preliminary qualification for 'independence'.

The ideas he put forward are simple and easy to understand, as simple as piercing a layer of tulle.

But that consequence was a leap forward by leaps and bounds.

In this way, he liberated a sealed beast that was unknown at the beginning, and no one knew where this beast would drag the entire atrium world.

But only one thing is certain.

That is, this man never thought of borrowing the power of the gods from the beginning to the end.

Human beings want to walk their own path, not to mention he doesn't believe in fate.

His attitude towards life is almost on the table.

So that being the case, how could he turn to 'fate'?

Even though what Urd represents is the actual past that has happened, it is not the illusory future that Shikoti symbolizes cannot be touched by mortals.

But the three Noren sisters who symbolize destiny are inseparable after all.

With such thoughts in mind, Dietrich couldn't help but feel a little pride in her heart.

Although she knows that she is also extremely special, after so many years, she still has a very high sense of identity with the identity of 'human being'.

"Humans... No, in fact, no matter what kind of race it is, they don't want to be bound by the so-called fate."

Dietrich said in a low voice.

Her eyes subconsciously shifted to the man.

At this time, the sage seemed to have sensed Her Royal Highness' gaze.

Before they knew it, their eyes met.

They have a good understanding.

So she knows what he's thinking.

"Who can guarantee whether what you said is the truth."

Wait!

Just as the sage's voice echoed, Dietrich felt that something in her head exploded.

What to say?

It was as if a huge crack had appeared in the impression that had been established with great difficulty.

Are you thinking too much?

While Her Royal Highness was thinking wildly there, Hodder just took a deep breath.

"I don't like you guys."

"Um……"

Listening to the sage's words, Urd's beautiful eyebrows were raised.

At this moment, her eyes began to circle around him, as if she was observing something.

Then, she sighed.

"Speaking of..."

"Ok?"

"Have you given up already?"

Her words exploded like thunder.

Especially Dietrich.

For Her Royal Highness, the goddess' words seemed to reveal a certain fact.

"..."

"No, in your terms, it should be said to be growing up? Becoming a little more mature?"

Wurd said in a low voice.

As for this point, Hodder's attitude is extremely ambiguous.

"Who knows this? For me, the world is like being shrouded in fog, so unpredictable that I can't even believe my five senses."

"In other words, you only intend to solve the matter in front of you?"

"Maybe, but I think, no matter what, I couldn't pin my hopes on other people, especially you."

"uh-huh."

On this point, Wurd showed a meaningful attitude.

She didn't deny anything immediately, and this proved to some extent what Hodder said.

but……

"Whatever you want."

Wurd replied with a smile.

At this moment, although she was still being held by the sage, she did not have the pain that she had shown before.

It's as if it was pretended before.

But for these, Hodder obviously doesn't care anymore.

He just let go of the hand of the goddess of fate, and the eyes under the helmet looked at the illusory Urd again and again.

After confirming that there was really no problem, he turned his head.

"Do you remember how you came into this world?"

However, before he could take a few steps, Urd's voice came from behind him.

"..."

And this seemingly short question made Hodder stop himself.

Because this directly involved his secret, he subconsciously clenched his fists.

But when he turned his head subconsciously, he found that Wurd had disappeared.
