I am not a regressor episode 242
Baptism of Stars (4)
‘What kind of bullshit situation is this?’
Ojin looked at Polaris floating in front of him with a bewildered expression.
A constellation whose entire body is made of starlight, so even its facial features cannot be clearly seen.
The silver eyes, barely visible through the starlight, were sunken deep enough to give me a chill.
“W-what?”
“A star in the sky… ?”
The constellations opened their mouths in shock at Polaris’ explosive remarks.
[As expected, Polaris’ eyes cannot be fooled.]
There is only one constellation that was not surprised.
From the beginning, Vega was the only one who knew that Ojin was a ‘star in the sky’.
“What, what? “Did you know, Vega?!”
[Ojin is the original woman’s child. Of course she didn’t know?]
Vega nods obediently to Deneb’s questioning.
Originally, the plan was to hide the fact that Ojin was a star of the reverse sky until he gained enough power, but since Polaris appeared and revealed it, hiding it was pointless.
[I think it’s time to reveal it, my child.]
Wasn’t Oh Jin who grew up to become a member of Chilseong in just one and a half years?
The condition of waiting until enough strength had been accumulated had already been met a long time ago.
“… okay. “I think it will be difficult to hide it any longer.”
Even as Ojin countered with Vega, he was thinking so fast that the back of his neck felt hot.
‘Even Polaris mistakes me for a star in the sky?’
From what I heard from Vega, Polaris had the power to glimpse the future.
And yet.
Did you mistake yourself for being a ‘star in the sky’?
“… … .”
Oh Jin’s expression hardened.
perhaps.
Although it is still just a speculation with little logic or basis.
‘What if I’m really a star in the sky?’
What if it was you, not Lee Shin-hyuk, who could rewrite the pages of fate that had already been decided?
‘No, that doesn’t make sense.’
When Vega first explained to him the existence of the Reverse Star, he clearly said that the Reverse Star was a being that had ‘returned back in time’.
If the star in the sky didn’t mean a returner, there would have been no reason for Vega to mistake him for a returner when he first saw him.
So was Polaris really mistaken?
The first constellation, the constellation called the most brilliant star?
‘how… ‘What’s going on?’
Confused mind.
Even as his unorganized thoughts were jumbled together, Ojin’s tongue moved smoothly.
To get over this situation, there was only one way.
“yes. “I am the star of the heavens.”
Seeing Ojin calmly nodding his head, the excitement among the constellations grew.
“The star in the sky has risen… .”
“Well, then that means the world has already been destroyed once, right?”
Regulus trailed off with a puzzled expression, and Spica jumped up in place with her mouth wide open.
“Yes, it means that all the stars have been swallowed up by the darkness of the Black Sky, as predicted by Polaris.”
“Huh… . “Honestly, I can’t believe it.”
Aldebaran shakes his head at Aris’ words.
“Now, wait!”
Deneb asked, stuttering.
The two wide-open eyes trembled slightly.
“So, does that mean you’re a regressor?”
also.
The star of the inverted sky was considered a ‘returner’ among the constellations.
“That’s right.”
Ohjin nodded and spoke quietly.
“I am a regressor.”
Did you say that lies lead to lies?
Like a truck with broken brakes, the situation was spiraling out of control.
“lie! If you’re a returner, why were you trapped in the demonic realm last time? “You mean the returner didn’t know that it was a trap set by a snake?”
Deneb glared at Ojin in disbelief.
If you are a returner, if you are a living witness who has already witnessed the destruction of the world with your own eyes, shouldn’t you have seen through the trap set by the snake in advance?
In response to Deneb’s questioning, Ojin nodded with a calm expression.
“yes. I had no idea. “In the futures I’ve experienced, snakes have never set traps.”
“How can you believe that… .”
“I am a returner, not an omnipotent god.”
A voice continues quietly.
“The future of this world has already been completely changed. “My memories of my past life are no longer of any use to me.”

“Ha, then what was it like now in the world you experienced?”
Deneb narrowed her eyes and asked questioningly.
“First of all, the existence of the Black Star Society was not known to the world as it is now. “The power has not weakened like this.”
The commotion grows louder once again.
Deneb crossed her arms and snorted as if she was shocked.
“Heng, then are you saying that it is all thanks to you that the Black Star Society is now known to the world and its power has weakened?”
“That’s right.”
“gibberish! No matter how much of a regressor you are, how can you… in just one and a half years? … .”
Ojin cut Deneb off and opened his mouth quietly.
“I killed the King of Owls.”
The King of Owls, Cheon Do-yoon, died by his own hand.
“I killed the King of Seahorses.”
The King of the Seahorses, Sosuke Kurosaki, died when his head exploded in his own hands.
“I killed the toad king.”
To be exact, Living Armor killed him after listening to Cassia’s orders.
The only people who knew about it were Lee Woo-hyuk, Ha-eun, and Isabella.
“The king of the seahorses is a Japanese awakened… … .”
“No, I killed him. “We made it look like Mr. Sakaki was killed in order to draw attention away from the Black Star Society.”
“… … .”
“I killed three of the Black Star Church’s executioners. In addition, we also brought in an executive officer who had been deceived and taken advantage of by the Black Holy Society as an ally.”
This is Isabella’s story.
“If I did not reduce the power of the Black Star, who do you think made them as weak as they are now?”
“that… .”
Deneb is speechless and mute.
“And if I wasn’t a regressor.”
Ojin stared at Deneb with deeply sunken eyes.
“Can you stand here right now?”
Just a year and a half.
In a short period of time, which was only a moment from the point of view of the Constellations, he rose to the 8th Star, and was selected as the 7th Star, beating out dozens of high-ranking awakened people.
“Well, that’s the Green Zone… .”
Deneb’s voice became quiet as she attempted to continue her argument.
He knew it too.
No matter how great the awakened Rebecca Belle is, compared to Ojin’s achievements, she is nothing more than a firefly in front of the sun.
[Enough with that, Deneb.]
Vega looked back at Deneb and opened her mouth quietly.
[She swears on the name of the stars that her child is a returner.]
An oath made in the name of a star.
Even as a constellation of the North Star, it was such a strong restriction that a part of its divinity would disappear the moment it was carelessly violated.
“eww… .”
Deneb let out a short moan and nodded.
“Okay… uh. You just have to believe it, if you believe it.”
It seemed like he didn’t completely trust the misdiagnosis yet, but it was still true that he couldn’t find anything to refute.
In the first place, it was an undeniable fact that Ojin had killed three of the seven executioners of the Black Star over the past year and a half.
“Oh, Allen too! “Allen could have done it too!”
As if making a final struggle, he appealed to Allen that what he did was something he could have done.
[Then why didn’t you do it?]
“… that.”
Vega’s sharp rebuttal made me keep my mouth shut again.
Just like Vega said.
Even though Allen had the power to defeat the Black Star’s executioners that Ojin had faced so far, it was Ojin who actually fought them and suppressed the power of the Black Star.
[Has everyone finished talking?]
at that time. A clear and beautiful voice flowed from Polaris’ mouth.
Ojin’s eyes widened.
‘Has your voice changed?’
Not only the voice but also the way he spoke had changed.
[Then let’s move on to the main topic.]
This time it was a thick male voice.
‘Is it possible to have multiple personalities?’
Ojin looked up at Polaris, engulfed in starlight, with an incomprehensible expression.
Polaris slowly came down to Ojin with shining silver eyes.
[Star of the night sky.]
A hand slowly caressing Ojin’s cheek.
[Us… Save me from the darkness of the black sky.]
Polaris put her hands together reverently as if praying.
Ohjin nodded quietly.
“That’s why I came back.”
In response to his hesitation, Polaris slowly raised her head.
Although his expression could not be seen because of the starlight, Ojin felt like he was smiling faintly.
[I am bound by the law and cannot give you the light that will brighten your path… It seems that Vega is already fully fulfilling that role.]
When Polaris glanced back at Vega, Vega nodded with a proud expression.
[My child’s future path will be brightly lit by her!]
[I will believe it.]
Polaris slightly bowed her head and turned to Ojin.
[Now there isn’t much time left to manifest.]
Polaris spread her arms wide.
The fountain of the Milky Way bubbled up, emitting bright light.
“Ugh!”
A fountain of the Milky Way seeping into Ojin’s body.
This time, instead of being sucked in by the black stream, it was seeping into Ojin’s body from the fountain of the Milky Way, like water seeping through paper.
‘I can’t eat any more… !’
I had already absorbed so much magic power into my body that I was worried that my body might explode.
Even if they gave me more, not only could I not handle it, but there was a risk that the magic circuit would be distorted.
When the so-called Juhwaipma was trying to come to Ojin.
[Do not worry. The starlight that is now seeping into your body will not reside in your body, but in your soul and protect you.]
With the voice resounding calmly, the magical powers that had seeped into Ojin’s body disappeared.
‘It resides in the soul, not the body?’
I don’t know what that means, but fortunately I no longer felt the pressure as if my body was about to explode.
“… thank you.”
Ojin bowed his head towards Polaris with a puzzled expression.
Polaris nodded lightly and slowly turned her head towards Vega.
[Vega. Is it okay if I name this child?]
[name?]
[When you become Chilsung, you will receive the name of a star.]
[iced coffee.]
Vega nodded.
[She has something in mind… I will yield to you here.]
[Thank you.]
Polaris’ voice changed to that of a man.
He stretched out his star-lit arm and placed it on Ojin’s head.
[Bless the birth of a new star.]
A congratulatory message continues quietly.
[The star that best suits you, who has an inverse destiny… .]
Shining silver eyes turned to Ojin.
[The star of the army. I will bestow upon you the name of Pagunseong.]
Breaking ground.
It is the last star of the Big Dipper, and the star that is said to command the heavenly army to subdue all evil enemies in the universe.
“… crazy.”
“Pagunseong is the name given to the brightest star among the seven stars, right?”
The constellations were in shock with their mouths wide open.
Unlike them, Ojin’s expression was quite subtle.
‘My name is Gwon Oh-jin.’
It’s a name that seems like something that should be used as Sashinmu.
