CH 33

: okay (1)

-Isn't it me?

The woman's voice asks again.

Jamie felt something hot rising from within. At the same time, I had a question.

'How did this guy come down?'

It is only a voice, but one of the 12 gods has descended on this earth.

God couldn't come down to earth just because he wanted to. Because it is so powerful that the rules here are broken.

In order for God to descend on the earth, conditions were necessary.

Of course, it is a difficult condition to meet. So I didn't understand.

It made no sense to say that he had only come to prevent Ricky from becoming undead.

'I noticed that the light from Ricky was the Pyro's divinity.'

Even if that level was unusual, considering it was a priest's talent, nothing was impossible.

However, it was absurd for a god to descend on the earth for only one priest, with only a voice.

All causality resulting from it must be borne by her servant.

- Can't you hear me?

He groaned and his head pounded.

Jamie almost screamed at the rising emotion.

12 Gods are enemies among enemies. Every word she said raised Jamie's anger.

However, I persevered.

Had it exploded now, things that could have been difficult to handle could have happened.

'For the sake of the cause.'

I couldn't even start properly, because I can't make it into a bubble.

"Because I knew that Ricky's divinity was yours Yo.

I hate to die to speak up to the 12 gods, but I hate having my plans fail more than dying.

Jamie clenched two small fists.

- He's a good kid. Although I don't like dealing with evil powers. But it's not like the crude warlocks. What... It feels a little familiar.

Of course you'll get used to it.

It's the power that drove you into a corner a long time ago.

Jamie's words went up to his throat, but somehow he pressed them down.

-by the way.

Pyro's voice subsided.

-Why did you want to turn mine into an undead?

She seemed quite upset at the fact that she was trying to make Ricky dead.

"I don't want this guy to die."

- Stupid. Isn't being undead the same as dying? Don't you know that what you guys do is, after all, insult the dead?

The Pyro took a deep breath.

-Why do people like you not know the preciousness of life!

He finished speaking like he was vomiting.

Jamie, who was listening quietly, looked like she was about to explode at any moment.

do not know the value of life.

I didn't know that one of the 12 gods would utter those words.

"Who does not know the preciousness of life?"

-what?

"Aren't you the ones who don't know the preciousness of life?"

The Pyro didn't answer right away.

Who talked about value to whom?

To subjects who sacrificed a huge number of lives for their own purposes.

-no.

Pyro's voice trembled slightly.

-I I do not trivialize life!

'What?'

His voice sounded like he was feeling a little guilty.

Then, Pyro asked Jamie as if interrogating him.

- You guys. What do you know? Did you know something, so you said that to me?

But sooner or later, the Pyro murmured.

- People today don't know. okay. How would a human know that?

"What ."

-done. you don't need to know

The Pyro hastily interrupted Jamie.

It was a warning not to mention this topic any further.

Jamie was not funny.

But Jamie couldn't recall the previous conversation.

-Anyway, this child will be my apostle. So, if you try to make it undead, I won't forgive you.

Apostle!

Jamie's eyes widened.

You mean Ricky was the Pyro's apostle?

I didn't feel any divine in him, so I thought he was an ordinary boy. Even today, under the influence of Lars, I thought I had awakened the divine belatedly.

What is Sado?

It is a kind of sage, and he is much closer to God than a normal sage.

It has a pope-level status in the church just by its existence, and its force is not lacking even if it is called the strongest paladin.

The most perfect priest.

That was the apostle of God.

'Ricky is a Sorrel.'

An orphan boy who only cared about his younger sister had such potential.

Indeed. So, even though it was only a voice, the Pyro could have descended.

The corners of Jamie's lips rose slightly.

This turned out to be more fun than I thought.

Jamie held back her laughter as much as she could and said to the Pyro.

"But I'm sorry."

-sorry?

"The 'memorization' has already penetrated. to Ricky."

-what?!

Before the Pyro intervened, the ancient spell had already been punctuated.

Unfortunately, due to her intervention just before the ceremony was completed, the level became erratic, but Ricky was in a state that could be called an undead to some extent.

- Do you know what you did?!

"ね!"

It felt like my brain was going to explode just by screaming.

Jamie protected her body by activating the full-body breathing technique as much as possible.

'Damn it. About this.'

In the past, she would have dismissed her cry as mere noise.

But now the headache was so severe that I felt dizzy.

god is god

It was impossible to handle with such a young body.

coffee spilled Tears of blood flowed. The eardrum is ruptured, or the sound is not well heard.

However, the Pyro's voice came from his head, so he could hear it regardless of the eardrum.

-You're such a bastard. It seems like he really wanted to die, so he made a change. Do you think I can't kill you because I only have a voice?

enough to kill

A human being, like an insect, that can be crushed and killed by a finger is God.

But Jamie laughed.

"Then it would be difficult."

-Where to wear cheeky... !

"If you kill me, Ricky will die too."

- .

The fact that the undead has progressed to some extent means that the initiative has already passed to Jamie.

Of course, the Apostle's power was strong, so he didn't completely overcome it, but he didn't mean to mention the weak points.

"You don't want to lose an apostle, do you?"

- Do you think the intimidation will work?

"I know quite a bit. The Apostle is the most powerful weapon that God can create, and at the same time, it is also the only being that can exist. And if you lose an apostle, it may take a long time to find the next one. But above all ."

Jamie made a final statement that would solidify the initiative.

"For God to descend on the earth without conditions, the existence of an apostle is essential. Isn't it?

-You bastard!!!

The Pyro's voice trembled with anger.

It gave me a pleasant shiver to think I had offended her.

It's nothing compared to what he was aiming for, but Jamie now enjoys even the smallest revenge.

"Like I said, I don't want to kill Ricky either. It's my friend."

- You special one, you've worked hard to survive.

Jamie snorted.

This is an answer that can come out right away without rolling your head.

But there were some things I didn't understand.

'Why did she make an apostle?'

Apostles appear only when the church is in a major crisis.

Is the Pyro Church currently in crisis?

I know the relationship with Zenith Kyo is bad. In fact, they even used the chimera maker to extract the divinity of the Pyro religion.

Even so, I thought it was not a crisis enough to create an apostle.

An apostle was literally born when he was in a corner.

Without thinking alone, Jamie immediately asked the Pyro.

"But. Does making an apostle mean that your position is quite dangerous?"

- I don't need to know anything like you!

As expected, the Pyro had no intention of answering.

It didn't stop there, she warned in a calm voice.

-If you care about it, you will truly meet the wrath of God.

Jamie felt terrified. She knew instinctively that her warning was real.

At the same time, I felt a sense of incongruity in that warning.

no. It was before that I felt uncomfortable.

'He said he didn't take life lightly.'

She spoke only of herself, not all of the 12 gods.

And the feud with Zenith.

Finally, until the existence of the apostle.

'I can't be sure.'

Indeed, how would she react if asked about the apostle again?

won't kill But I didn't know if it would make it as close to death as possible.

I don't know if she has that much ability now, but she shook herself with just her shouting.

'Is it high risk, high return?'

Although the Pyro was on the mild side of the 12 gods.

However, only 12 gods were compared, and she was basically a god too.

If the judgement is twisted, it may just kill you.

Therefore, keywords that can stimulate curiosity had to be included.

'Damn it. Why am I flirting with that guy?'

If it was in the past, he should have run away from himself.

You never know when you'll ever get the chance to talk to one of the 12 gods like now.

I couldn't miss this opportunity.

We had to get as much information as possible.

"Why did you make an apostle?

- You boy, I really want to die... !

"Didn't the 12 gods unite to complete the system? For the peace you speak of. Isn't it?

- How do you do that?

"There is no reason to make an apostle in the world today. It is a world that runs within the system created by the 12 gods. Isn't it?"

The Pyro was silent.

She didn't want to kill herself like before.

It was a pretty risky gamble. If the relationship with the 12 gods had remained, she would have killed herself at once.

But I could draw one conclusion that he didn't kill him.

'The quarrel is certain.'

Jamie looked like she was about to burst out laughing.

They were the ones who pretended to be together for the rest of their lives.

Look at the situation now.

'Is it that long?'

I don't know exactly how many years have passed, but I know that at least tens of thousands of years have passed.

That must have been a long time even for the gods.

It was enough time for the relationship to change while insisting on each other's will.

At that moment, the silent Pyro opened his mouth.

-you. How the hell do you know? It is impossible for humans today to know that. Most of all, you'll regret it if you approach the secret.

A man named the goddess of mercy and punishment gave the warlock some advice.

"You are kind as rumored."

-What do you know about me?

"The best of the 12 gods. And a God who loves everything. A god who loved so much that he achieved power for the conversion of evil.

- You bastard! How far do you know!

Jamie wasn't interested in anything like her consideration.

I honestly didn't know what her personality was.

There was only one thing to check.

"Are you isolated?"

- .

Again, silence replaced the answer.

The Pyro can't lie. Because, by her standards, lying is also evil. If she lies, she goes against her divinity.

In that case, you will not be able to maintain your Godhead.

That is what God was.

'The maintenance time will soon be over.'

Make an estimate based on past experience.

Not a small amount of time has passed, so the Pyro will return to heaven again.

Now is the time.

Jamie decided to bring out the most important and dangerous 'keyword' that he had been thinking about.

"Do you remember the mighty warlocks that existed long ago?"

- You have to be careful with what you say.

"You remember the man who fought against the system you were trying to build."

- What is your identity? You are no ordinary human. But still... It does not make sense. That's ridiculous.

"I will lend you my strength."

- I think it's the power of your little things... .

"Diablo Volfir. What if it was the power of the one who succeeded him?

momentary silence.

Soon the Pyro muttered in a trembling voice.

-Nonsense. Volfir is... He's clear!

At that moment, the presence that filled my head began to fade.

-Damn it. At this time!

'bingo.'

Although it was only his voice, he was not a complete apostle, and there was no way he could keep for a long time in the real world.

Jamie smiled and added a word.

"Would you like to join me?"

- But I... .

"If you don't really care about life! You will have to hold hands with me."

Jamie's eyes turned purple.

At the last remark, the Pyro couldn't say anything.

-I .

Just before it completely disappears.

Pyro said urgently.

-Come to Apton! Then talk properly... .

At the same time, the Pyro's presence completely disappeared.

Hmm. It's been a pretty good situation."

I don't know if it was a good thing that she brought out her true name, but there was no hesitation after checking her reaction.

'The Pyro is the weakest of the 12 gods, but it is well worth taking advantage of.'

In particular, in the armed forces, unlike the weak tendency, it was frightening.

It was not meant to symbolize mercy and "punishment" for nothing.

'Hopefully you will get a very useful tool.'

Regardless of any means

From the past until now, that thought has not changed.

The enemy is an opponent that has to be like that.

But I had no intention of going the same way as in the past. Have you ever experienced failure?

'It is an alliance with God.'

I don't know if I'm really good at it.

then.

Ricky opened his eyes.
