Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Madness

Merchant Janet recalled how she was able to rise to this position.

It was a tough day.

Because she came from a supernova, she was always viewed with suspicion, and after she chose this path, she had to take it for granted.

Dealing with all kinds of truth-telling customers was a pain, but watching a customer lose his life in vain was not a very pleasant memory.

Sometimes she was confused as to whether she was a kind person or a cold person.

In normal times, no one would call her sweet. But there were times when she was weak.

It’s time to see those who meet the same fate as the planet she came from. Even when I just watched from afar instead of making a deal, I mourned them in vain.

However, the person I was doing business with recently encountered a similar situation.

When a planet enters the supernova stage, all possibilities are thrown out. And in the end, it dies.

I thought it was a planet still full of potential and light, but this was a hasty conclusion.

“The gods... are selfish.”

She is also from Supernova.

It was obvious what would happen next.

It is not unusual to empathize with something you have experienced. Janet’s compassion is also like that.

She muttered as she swirled her glass.

“... I need to find out.”

“Ugh... yes?”

Oria, Janet’s junior, mumbles while stuffing expensive, high-quality snacks into her mouth.

“Senior... isn’t it?”

“....”

“The reason I’m interested in supernovas is....”

Janet smiles.

Hart returned home already drunk. It is a secret saddam shared with Oria in the Land of the Judge and the believers there.

“You know that being interested in the destruction of the planet is very dangerous... right?”

“Most people in life make mistakes knowingly.”

“That and this are different. “Have you never heard that curiosity is the gateway to hell?”

“I haven’t heard of it?”

“That’s what I just said!”

“So what you’re saying is that curiosity moves us forward?”

“Uh... was there something like that?”

“This is what I just said.”

Oria took a swig of her drink and spoke.

“... You will never be persuaded, right?”

“Yes, until you give up and support me.”

“Sir, you’re not really this kind of person.”

Oria paused.

I thought for a moment about what Janet’s original appearance was.

From Supernova.

On the outside, she appears to be ruthless and knowledgeable about the world, but that’s only based on what she shows.

“Uh... right?”

“Haha...”

“Anyway... this is crazy. Dangerous interest will be discovered quickly! “You know that the Judge absolutely hates being interested in the fate of the stars.”

“Just don’t get caught. You know? “I’m pretty good.”

Oria suddenly remembered.

What position is Janet in?

“Are you sure... are you trying to find out from Akashic?”

“Because there won’t be any records left that way. But did you even deduce it that far?”

“I do not know! “If you get caught later, please tell me I don’t know anything.”

“You will be summoned as a related person. “It would be a good idea to pull out your fingernails in advance.”

“Aaaah!”

“Ahaha... I’m kidding, but weren’t we friends?”

“That’s right... I’m friendly when you take me to a nice place in Shinto.”

“What if I’m taken away?”

“I guess I should find another drinking buddy, right?”

“I won’t be coming to Shindo again in the future.”

Oria frowned.

“Calm down and put that down.”

“Anyway, I’m just telling you. “The heart will definitely run wild.”

“Heart cherishes seniors. “If I confess later, please kick me to the curb.”

“Hehe... think about it.”

“You know that I like seniors, right? “Please don’t die.”

Janet whispered in Oria’s ear.

“If I die, the judge is the culprit.”

“Ahhhh! I can’t hear, I can’t hear! “I didn’t hear a thing!”

Janet grins.

“I’ll go, Oria.”

“Sir, I’ll see you again soon. “If you think it’s safe... please tell me.”

“Then it will be dangerous?”

“You say curiosity moves us forward?”

The two exchanged smiles.

On a not-so-busy afternoon, Janet stood in front of a building that many people looked up to in the congregation.

“Whoa...”

Although it was a magnificent building on the outside, the value of its contents was nothing compared to ordinary buildings.

Now that she has entered the universe of the Judge’s power, there will be no greater legacy than this.

“Akashic....”

A conceptual view of history.

The entire history of the universe has been recorded and is still being recorded.

Although its size is overwhelmingly majestic, is it really large enough to contain all the records of the universe under the Judge’s power?

Janet plans to find out about it from now on.

People wearing diamond-shaped masks and flowing clothes stood guard.

God-like power.

No, those who live in Shinto are people who are more powerful than the gods on the outskirts.

Even they cannot defy the judge’s law. Everything is done under the control of the judge.

Just like humans, their bodies shrink from predators.

“You must be Janet.”

“Oh... do you know me?”

“If you don’t know the Seven Colossi, you can’t protect this place.”

I was completely immersed from the part where life began to nest and prosper on the planet Pandea.

The fate of a planet is truly a strange thing. All of history prospers as if it will never collapse, but then suddenly disappears like a candle blown out by a strong wind.

“...Kagon.”

Even forgotten history could not avoid Akashic. This is why Janet was confident that she would be able to find out Pandea’s secret.

Akashic records everything. Any fallen civilization is bound to have moments of prosperity.

Akashic, an ideological view of history, is a recorder and entertainer without intention.

Janet suddenly thought that the mask was cumbersome while reading a book.

He put the mask in his arms, brushed his long hair behind his ears, and looked through the contents of the book one by one.

The first prosperous empire in history.

However, it is an era that no one except Ur remembers.

“Ahaha... “This is the time.”

During the Urga era, he came into contact with the meteor Eragon and realized magic and shared it with humans.

That was the beginning of Kagon.

And the following histories.

Janet trembled, her eyes fixed.

“... what?”

I stood there in a daze, holding the first volume that recorded everything about how Kagon was destroyed.

“Now wait a minute...”

The content was somewhat shocking, but it was not a secret that Janet, who knows the history of all civilizations, could not handle.

There was another reason why she was truly surprised.

– He chose.

One sentence.

This one sentence suddenly started repeating itself.

– He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose. He chose.

...

what?

“No... no... that’s not important...”

Pak-!

She threw down the book that had the same sentence repeated anyway, took out a random book from the shelf, and checked its contents.

– He chose.

As expected, it is a book filled with the same sentences.

Her eyes turned to the bookshelf that filled this space.

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-!

Go through the spiral maze.

No, I tried to get out.

Bookshelf in random order.

Books in random order.

– He chose.

Only the same content was written.

She finally realized why.

“Timeline collapse!”

The timeline collapsed.

A timeline that fixes history and confirms events.

Only Pandea’s timeline was producing results different from the time of the universe they belonged to.

And what’s scarier than that is...

“This... was intentional.”

Someone repeats the same history and burdens the Akashic records.

Even Akashic, which has the power of the microcosm, cannot record eternity. Due to time collapse, an overwhelming amount of history was shown to Akashic, causing Akashic to record strange sentences repeatedly.

“... why?”

why.

why.

“Why do you do that?”

fault-!

She ran, her hair flying behind her.

To get out of the spiral maze.

Good job taking off the mask.

For the first time in a long time, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

“Hee... hee hee hee....”

Because I realized the intention of this repeated time.

“Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha!”

Even if my hair becomes scattered.

Even if your shoes come off and you run barefoot.

I ran even though my beautiful face was covered with fluid secreted from my face.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

What she broke was the door that had been visible since entering the library.

“Haha... Hahaha....”

It is not liberation.

“You’re trying to hide... what happened... and...”

She shudders.

“What are you going to do?”

From yourself.

From the observer.

From the gods.

From Akashic.

And from the judge of a distant star.

Even the higher gods cannot know its intentions. Since you don’t know, you can’t stop it.

Janet looked up into space.

A new library universe was unfolding there, a size incomparable to the library she was in.

The library I saw in the first place was only the beginning. This place contained eternity. Akashic is still recording.

Someone sends a repeating record of the planet’s fake history.

Buk...

Buk...

Swoosh...

She takes out a book.

– He chose.

Janet felt afraid.

okay.

Curiosity is, after all, the threshold of hell.

She just took one step into hell.
