#Episode 128
Taaaaah-!!
Akaruan’s face suddenly tilts back. His rising energy also subsides in an instant. It is a power that is enough to make you lose your mind. Akaruan, who is watching the blood flying out into the air in real time, hears Jin Shihou’s voice in his ear.
“If it was that important to you, you should have just cowered when I warned you.”
Taaak-!
“I’m talking.”
Taaak-!
“Get out.”
Crack-!
“How many times do I have to tell you not to interrupt?”
He slapped Akaruan’s cheeks without stopping.
Jin Shi-hoo, who had already thrown the Akaruan on the floor as if it was not enough, swung his foot this time.
“Why does that dead bastard keep acting like he’s still alive?”
Paaaak-!
“You want to create a country? You want to have a ceasefire? I was just sitting there, but now that you’ve brought it up, I’ll ask. Hey, do you think that makes sense?”
Phew-!
“What land did you entrust here? Is there a system or something that allows you to breathe and talk, so you feel good and stuff?”
Kwajik-!
“What are you going to do by creating a country? What are you going to do by creating zombies? Are you going to shut them up? You’re not going to restore them to their original state. As you can see, once you bite them, they’re just dead.”
Paaaak-!
“Why are you crawling like this with such a power that is nothing? What are you going to do after the ceasefire? Are you going to take over the Earth when you get the chance? But this kid, isn’t he going to answer?”
There was no way it could be done.
Akaruan’s body was already covered in wounds. His limbs were all twisted and deformed, and his face was mangled.
The abdomen was sunken, and so were the sides. The breathing sounded hoarse. The rib must have pierced the lung.
Jin Shihou, who had been staring blankly at Akaruan, straightened his posture.
I have to kill that bastard, the moment I thought that, there was a vibration from the floor.
I glanced around.
There was a small crystal ball there that had spilled out of Akaruan’s arms when he had thrown him to the ground earlier.
What is this?
After Jin Shihou picked up the crystal ball, he grabbed Akaruan’s hair with the other hand.
I tried to ask what this was, but couldn’t.
Before I could even ask, a giant hologram appeared in the crystal ball. I was surprised the moment I saw it.
Helena appeared.
“What are you doing there?”
* * *
Helena said.
-… … I would like to ask this. What do you do there?
I didn’t really do anything. I just came here to do some business.
There was some light questioning and answering. I heard the name of the guy who grabbed me by the hair earlier, but I couldn’t remember it, so I asked, and so on.
Then, something I was curious about began to arise.
“I’m asking just in case, but you’re not talking about a ceasefire or anything, are you?”
Helena on the other side nodded.
“Thank goodness. Whether it’s mobilizing the military, launching missiles, or using nukes, it doesn’t matter. Just clean up this mess. They’ve gathered all the zombies in one place, so it’ll be easy to kill them.”
-That’s true. But are you okay? You don’t look so good.
“It’s not good. I had work to do, and I got interrupted. By these guys.”
-… … I need him, can you possibly save him?
He chuckled.
He threw the Akaruan he was holding onto on the floor and stabbed himself in the neck with his index finger.
A swoosh sound rings out.
Then a huge amount of blood began to spurt out.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help it, I’m going to die soon.”
If you leave it alone, it will regenerate on its own, but is that possible?
If I rip out the blood vessels, rip out all the nerves in the cervical region, and then pour my mana into it, I will be no different from a normal person.
This little bastard, whether he’s Akaruan or Akassian, will soon die of excessive bleeding. I’ve decided so.
“Helena.”
-……yes.
“I repeat, I really don’t care what happens on Earth, you know?”
-Yes, I know. I’m not interested in anything other than what has to do with the apostles.
After placing the crystal ball on the floor, he sat down on Akaruan’s back, who had become a corpse.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it. After taking a drag, he continued speaking.
“But, there’s something really important to me. There are a lot of people on Titan who asked me for favors. It’s kind of like granting wishes, you know? But as you know, most of them were killed by the Apostles. It’s a miracle. Only two of them are still alive now.”
-… … .
“She was great. She was a saint. The saint of Titan. If it weren’t for her ‘sacrifice’ in the war with the dragons, it would have been difficult to win. Before the war started, she knelt before me and begged. Asked me to look after her father and brother, and to deliver her diary and letters. I’m doing that now, but you keep interfering. You should know this now. Don’t interfere with what I have to do, what I’m trying to do. Don’t tell me or force me to keep you alive just because you need information.”
-… … I’ll keep that in mind.
“And don’t kill the apostles I’ve locked up in the blood factory. Kill them when I tell you to. If you don’t manage them properly and the apostles die, you’ll be responsible for it. Do you know what I mean?”
Helena nods. That’s fine.
“Elite zombies, clear them out as soon as possible.”
-… …All of them?

“Yeah, all of them.”
I’ve said it countless times, I mean countless times, but the way to deal with those creeps is simple.
If one person comes, just kill ten. If ten people come, just kill a hundred. If a thousand people come, just kill ten thousand. If a hundred thousand people come, just kill a million. If the numbers don’t match, just wipe out the seed. It’s the same now.
There are some bugs out there right now who are being needlessly greedy. Because of those bugs, what I’m trying to do is being interrupted.
So, I’m thinking of drying up the seeds.
“Oh, and, sister.”
The older sister on the other side of the hologram raised her head. She lifted her left wrist and tapped it.
“You know what happens?”
On the other side, my sister nods.
That’s it. I just destroyed the crystal ball.
It was when I was smoking a cigarette slowly.
“… … You’re crazy… … . You’re not in your right mind… … .”
I turned my head at the suppressed voice.
“Did you say Acacia? I don’t remember clearly.”
“… … It’s Akaruan.”
“Whatever it is, it’s just going to turn into a corpse anyway, so why should I memorize it?”
“… … You crazy bastard… … You have kicked away the only chance that has been given to Earth.”
I burst out laughing.
“Why are you judging that? What are you?”
“… … No, you can judge. I lost my family, I lost my comrades. I lost my country, I lost my people. You don’t know what that means.”
It’s fun.
I inhaled the smoke, chewed on the bastard’s words, and eventually burst out laughing.
Hahahaha.
“Ah… … hahaha. Ah… … my goodness, it’s been a while since I laughed.”
My stomach hurts so bad.
“Akasian. I don’t really like repeating what I said, so I’ll just skip it. In fact, it’s funny to argue about who is more pitiful, who suffered more, right here. Right?”
“… … We could rebuild the elven nation. We could make our home here. We could continue the lineage of the Fresian Empire that had been cut off by interacting with you humans, if it weren’t for you!”
He smoked a cigarette in silence.
The guy continues talking.
“You will eventually lose your place here.”
“I?”
“Yes. Star #2403, you said Earth? Yes, you will lose your place on Earth. Everyone on Earth will hate you. Will you still swing your fists like you do now?”
“Can’t you swing it?”
I ask because I’m really curious. The answers I get are quite interesting.
“… … crazy guy.”
I ended up laughing.
“The story of the stars will never stop. Even though we have reduced the number of humans on Earth to a significant extent because of them, this is only a drop in the bucket compared to the trials that lie ahead.”
“I see. That’s too bad.”
“This is what will happen because of your arbitrary actions. It’s all your fault. Everything is happening because of you.”
It was ridiculous.
I stuffed the cigarette I was holding into the guy’s wide-open throat. A crackling sound rang out.
“Hey, I was listening to him with an open mind, but he’s crossing the line.”
“……what?”
“You want to continue the legacy of the Pressian Empire? This guy is ridiculous. If it was that important, you should have left when I told you to.”
“… … .”
“I didn’t expect this outcome, I’m stronger than you think, so it was impossible to predict, but let’s think about it for a moment. Why are you guys so arrogant?”
“……Oman?”
“You and those elf kids over there are all the same. You can tell from the way they talk. You’re not allowed, don’t come, go away because negotiations are in progress. I’ve seen a lot of similar cases. Why do they act like that? It’s simple.”
He took another cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.
The more I think about it, the more I laugh.
“In your mind, all life on this Earth seemed like nothing.”
“… … Don’t make me laugh… … Don’t… … .”
“I’m the only one laughing right now. Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh and just listen. It was easy. You elves all control nature, but among the people on Earth, there are only three or four who control nature. And yet, quite a few of you died. Why did you die?”
“… … .”
“It’s simple. Numbers. You’re outnumbered. Even if you could turn them into zombies, how could you withstand the amount of material rushing in and all kinds of modern weapons aimed at you? So you must have thought about it. How can we turn this situation around? There’s only one way. We’ll have a ceasefire. After we make a ceasefire and calm the situation down, we’ll slowly bring the enemy to our side. It’ll be fun. If I hadn’t gotten involved, it would have been quite entertaining. Right?”
Akaruan said nothing.
It was simple. These elves simply saw us humans as nothing more than beings that could be eaten at any time.
Only the thoughtless, idiotic kids or these guys are fooled by the ceasefire and such, people with a sound head don’t fall for the words of these idiots.
“And, I repeat, if it was that important, you should have come out in a humble manner. Why do you keep crawling up to me? It’s annoying.”
“… … .”
“As we speak, I become a little curious. What I have done is only a guess, Acacia. Is this guess correct?”
“……right.”
“That’s good. Does that mean that if we make that ceasefire, the stories about the stars will stop?”
“… … The story of the stars never stops, no matter what happens.”
