§ 202. Louise (5)
‘… ‘I’m pissed!’
In order to suppress his boiling anger, Seongjin exercised extreme patience.
The reason he did not grab the Emperor by the collar right away was purely because of the idea of filial piety that was deeply engraved in his bones as the benefactor of the country of courtesy in the East.
After all, you can’t be a bastard who uses violence against the man you call father!
[Do you understand now?]
Seonghwang, perhaps aware of Seongjin’s feelings, patted his head quite affectionately and continued speaking.
[You must fully understand how dangerous the words you just said were. Such hasty definitions, doubts, and negativity can sometimes lead to dire and irreversible consequences.]
But his explanation didn’t even reach Seongjin’s ears anymore.
No, he called me his son!
At one point did you treat me like a child who was thrown into the water, and now you threaten me with bloodshed under the guise of discipline?
[Above all, son. You are an oracle of unprecedented potential. It has infinite potential to overcome the boundaries of the world.]
Didn’t they say that it will help me avoid making heartless choices in the future?
You reassured me that you would always be my strong support, but now you are acting like a self-harming blackmailer!
[So you should not be defined carelessly in any world or in anyone’s mouth. Even by yourself.]
I was able to keep Isabella alive because you were there.
This means that instead of immediately turning over Milo and Scarzzapino, I was able to take my time and let things proceed as they should!
[so… Mores, are you listening?]
Why does this guy think I was put in charge of this annoying monster task force in the first place?
Isn’t this all to help you and protect Delcross, where you and the people of the Seonghwang family live?
But what is the meaning of Delcross without you?
[why… … .]
Seonghwang, who only then noticed Seongjin’s irreverent gaze, pulled his hand away with a slightly embarrassed expression.
[Why are you doing that? What is uncomfortable? I tried to block him, but he got hurt in the explosion earlier… … .]
Soon, a hand filled with divine power approached, but Seongjin struck the hand away in a defiant manner and opened his mouth with a sullen face.
[Did you burst your arm so loudly just to give that explanation?]
Then Seonghwang blinked for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
[…] okay. An example of how it can lead to such drastic results… … .]
[So, you committed such a ridiculous self-harm just to set an example?]
Seongjin’s voice when he asked that was very calm.
However, Seonghwang, who noticed the unusual anger hidden within him, quietly kept his mouth shut while secretly observing Seongjin’s feelings.
[Do you know? I just thought my father was really dying.]
[…] … .]
[I thought you would completely disappear from this world! You said I was your son? But what on earth are you doing in front of your child? yes?]
Seongjin gritted his teeth as he realized that his voice was trembling at the end of his words.
Oh, I’m so pissed I’m going to die.
[…] But Mores. You know, I can’t do that anyway… … .]
Does that mean you won’t die?
Seongjin was dumbfounded.
[no! If you don’t die anyway, isn’t that level of injury nothing? Do you think that makes sense? Then me too! Any wound will be fine if my father heals it, so why are you cracking down on me not to cause accidents?]
[…] … .]
[Why is your father like that in everything? Didn’t you actually evacuate the guard knights before and confront Cadmus alone? This time, you’re using yourself as a teaching material? How could I be so anxious that I could take my eyes off even for a moment? yes?]
Seonghwang’s eyes tremble slightly as if he is shocked. He stared at Seongjin like that for a moment, then lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
[…] okay. I’m sorry if I surprised you.]
He raised one hand and slowly washed his face dry.
[There might have been a simpler way, but my thoughts were short. I was trying to convince him by just showing him the results. I guess I’ve been spending too much time with him recently. I was being influenced by that way of thinking whether I knew it or not.]
… That kid?
[Sorry, Mores.]
Seonghwang apologized again with a slightly downcast expression.
Although he was furious, Seongjin felt his anger cool down quickly as he looked at this gentleman’s sullen face.
Ah, it can’t go on like this. I need to say something more to this guy.
[Mores. This is what I really wanted to say.]
Seongjin, who was unable to properly control his anger, listened with a slightly softened face.
[Do you know what happens if I, the king of the dimension, call something by the wrong name here?]
[…] why? Will it explode again?]
Seongjin asked back with a sullen expression.
It was a sarcastic remark filled with some dissatisfaction, but Seonghwang let out a soft laugh and said, “Haha.”
[Yes, that is correct. Mores, do you see that pen?]
Seongjin reflexively turned his head in the direction he was pointing, then tilted his head and asked.
[Pen? Father, there are only books over there… … .]
Even before the words were finished.
Pow!
The book lying on the desk suddenly exploded. The impact was so great that the desk caved in and shredded paper flew everywhere.
[…] … !]
Fortunately, there was no major shock thanks to Seonghwang opening the Auror curtain at the right time, but Seongjin quietly broke into a cold sweat as he finally realized the seriousness of what Seonghwang had said.
The words he warned Seongjin several times were not empty words.
‘Really, if I just call it wrong, it explodes? ‘The king of the dimension is quite scary when you know it.’
While I was looking at the pieces of paper flying like snow with a bewildered face, Seonghwang called out to Seongjin in a low voice.

[…] Mores.]
[yes?]
[Son.]
[yes… . uh?]
Come to think of it. Why am I so fine even when this guy calls me random things?
I looked up at the Holy Emperor with wide eyes, and his mouth slightly curved.
[…] … !]
wait for a sec.
So what this gentleman is saying is that I am really his son and Mores?
So you want to tell me that it’s okay for you to call me that?
‘But can it be so? I’m Seongjin Lee from Earth! I am Mores, that is absolutely impossible… … .’
Tuk.
Before he could continue his thoughts, Seonghwang, who didn’t know how he knew, lightly tapped his forehead and warned him.
[You have to be careful. Didn’t you clearly say with your own mouth earlier that you wouldn’t be suspicious?]
That’s because the situation was urgent at the time.
No, but how on earth can that be?
Seonghwang, who was looking at Seongjin’s confused expression, quietly added an explanation.
[There is almost no precedent for two oracles to coexist in one era. Above all, Oracle cannot be hastily defined. Even the slightest difference in perception can lead to irreversible consequences just by recognizing the distortion.]
[…] … .]
[Do you understand? If you find it hard to believe now, at least don’t close that possibility completely. That will suffice for now.]
Seongjin quietly considered his words.
At least don’t close the possibility that I am this man’s son.
‘uh… … .’
So really?
However, while I felt a deep sense of relief when I thought of that, I suddenly became embarrassed to look at the Holy Emperor’s face.
It was because I remembered all the times I had gotten angry and shouted at him when I came here.
‘Oh, I’m so embarrassed… … .’
To be honest, who would have known that I would end up acting like a rebellious adolescent brat at this age.
Until now, I was confident that I was somewhat of an adult.
‘Even when I was in middle school and high school, when darkness instead of blood flowed through my veins, I never once shouted at my parents.’
At that time, Seonghwang tilted his head and muttered.
[What flows through your veins… … ?]
what?
Seongjin asked, thinking about it for a long time.
[Father, are you even reading my thoughts right now?]
[…] … .]
‘Are you reading?’
Seonghwang then averted his gaze as if he were embarrassed, and began to give a lengthy explanation.
[Didn’t I explain the laws of this world earlier? All conversations take place through thoughts, so a thought that is strong enough to become a thought is not much different from muttering out loud. I didn’t just read your thoughts… … .]
… You’re reading.
But Seongjin thought of another possibility there.
good. If a man with a grandiose status, like the king of some dimension, can’t open his mouth hastily, shouldn’t I just read his thoughts?
Seongjin concentrated his mind and glared at Seonghwang’s mouth.
‘Now, stop by! ‘Listen!’
Then, after looking at Seongjin blankly for a moment, he raised one corner of his mouth as if he understood.
[You are far away, son. At least it is still 650 years early.]
‘… … .’
Seongjin sighed, feeling his motivation disappearing at once.
By the way, it’s been 650 years. Well, it’s a strangely specific period of time, isn’t it?
While the effect of the medicinal tea remained, Seongjin stayed in the newly created dimension for a while, talking about various things with Seonghwang.
[…] So, does your father listen to those thoughts every day?]
Seongjin asked a little worriedly.
After experiencing the power of the flame crystal, I couldn’t help but be very worried about him, who had strong psychic powers.
It didn’t take long for Seongjin to receive the thoughts in earnest, but even in that short period of time, he felt like he was going to go crazy.
[For psychics, this is no big deal. As time goes by, you will develop your own tricks. The reason you had such a hard time is because you faced a new sensation unprepared and defenseless.]
Therefore, Seonghwang warned that it is best to avoid drinking medicinal tea carelessly in the future if possible.
[Ah, but why don’t you come here often these days? What’s going on in the imperial palace?]
It may have sounded like a complaint, but honestly, I was curious.
Isn’t it a bit strange that the man who had been possessing Lord Sharon for a long time stopped walking after the incident at the Demon Tree?
Then Seonghwang sighed with a confused look on his face.
[I ended up touching too many causes and effects with my soul state. So, for the time being, I am being a bit cautious about interfering with the north.]
[As expected, it was my father who healed my eye at that time. [He also treated knights who suffered from erosion.]
[okay. What the old man said was right. Although she shouted loudly in front of her, it is also true that she needed to cool down a bit.]
At that time, he saved so many people from a state of incorporeal souls. In addition, the entire area contaminated by the demon world was completely purified.
And Seonghwang told Seongjin many other stories.
About the existence of the ‘Council of Six’ that protects the border of the Delcross dimension, and the ‘agreement’ made with them.
About what is currently happening in Sigismund Territory and about the people we need to pay close attention to in the future.
Seongjin suddenly became curious and asked.
[But why are you telling me all this?]
Even though we have moved beyond Delcross, the restrictions have become relatively lighter.
Then Seonghwang smiled slightly.
[Don’t you know, Mores? Now that you have activated the channel, you are no different from a complete oracle. Even if I didn’t tell you, you would have gotten all the answers just by asking questions. It’s just that the process must have been very difficult.]
So, Seonghwang creates an entirely different dimension and seals off all of Seongjin’s channels, while at the same time giving him the answers he would have come up with through pain.
[uh… … .]
[Of course, when I think of the results you would have achieved by struggling alone, I feel like I am getting a little for nothing. So what can you do? Even if you do this, you have to strike a balance.]
yes? how?
Seongjin tilted his head, but soon sighed in resignation as Seonghwang’s hand approached him.
Holy shit. I knew it would be like this in the end.
Seongjin closed his eyes tightly.
[It’s almost time for the medicine to take effect. It will be difficult for you to look at me often for a while, so please take care of yourself from now on.]
Sigh!
* * *
“Kkuek!”
I screamed and opened my eyes to find myself on a warm bed.
This is the exact place where he lost consciousness, leaving a request to Louise to call Sir Sharon.
[…] Seongjin Lee?]
‘Uh, okay. ‘Did anything happen?’
[Ugh! Hey, Lee Seong-ji!]
The devil suddenly sensed that Seongjin had returned and started whining to leave the room.
[hey! What happened to you? Why was there still no answer? Do you know how worried I was?]
‘Oh, please be quiet. ‘My head is still pounding.’
Seongjin, who was frowning and getting up, came face to face with the absurd face of Louise, who was still sitting next to the bed.
“… “Kkuek?”
Seongjin, who was embarrassed, secretly avoided her gaze.
Uh, Louise. Just forget about that.
