#Episode 142
“… … Brother, you are truly a strange person.”
“okay?”
“Yes. I wish we had met a little earlier. It’s such a shame.”
It’s a pity. Jin Shi-hoo felt a strange nuance in this word.
no way.
“I debated whether or not I should show this part, but I had no choice.”
Jungbin shows the hologram again.
It was written there.
[If you are imprisoned, sealed, or voluntarily give up the fight within 48 hours, or if any of the above three items are included, all the people who were important to you in your life will die.]
[You are the Emperor.]
[The opportunity to make a wish doesn’t come easily.]
[Do your best.]
Jeongbin smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry. I think I’ll have to fight you, brother.”
Jin Shi-hoo, who had been looking at Jeong-bin like that for a while, slowly lifted his watch and sent a message to his older sister.
[How much is left?]
[… … Mary Pressian in Seoul, one left.]
I took a deep breath.
“Binah.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Do you want to have a proper fight with your brother?”
“… … Honestly, I’m curious.”
“what?”
“How far will your brother go?”
There’s nothing I can do.
Really, Jin Shi-hoo hates being played around like this, but the situation makes him like that.
[Okay, you’ve worked hard, sis.]
Jin Shi-hoo, who had sent the reply, extended his hand.
Then a space opens up in front of him.
Jeongbin opened his eyes wide.
I’ve never been there, but I think I have a rough idea where it is.
“I heard there’s an emergency shelter in the basement of the Salvation Guild… … I guess that’s it.”
“That’s right. Say hello. She’s the princess of that country called Pressian or something.”
Across the street, Mary Pressian sat quietly in a chair.
Jin Shihou changed the direction of his outstretched hand.
Then Mary Pressian is dragged in, sitting on a chair.
She leaped over the open space and took up a spot in the penthouse of the White Hotel.
“… … Humans, in the end, killed all the elves.”
They all killed them.
Compared to the current level of the Awakened on Earth, the level of the elves is clearly superior.
No matter how large the number is, it makes no sense to kill them all in one day.
Just one.
If Jin Shihou comes forward, the story will be different.
Before coming here from Germany, Jin Shihou had personally killed no less than 60 elves.
He killed more than half of them by himself. It’s possible because he’s Jin Shihou. Jin Shihou said.
“Do we really have to keep him alive?”
“… … .”
“There’s this guy called your older brother. He’s like Acacia or something.”
“Akaruan.”
“Whatever it was, he was acting weird.”
“… … He is a ‘person’ who is worthy of that.”
Psik, Jin Shihou burst into laughter.
I still can’t get used to it. A being that was destroyed and then came back to life, honestly, I don’t know if it’s right to see this as coming back to life. Just a reconstructed being? A created being, I guess I should see it that way, but ‘a person’…
I just thought it would be like that.
“I have something to ask you.”
“Is there anything I can gain by doing so?”
“Yes.”
“What is that?”
“I’ll kill you comfortably without any torture.”
“… … Well, it’s definitely an advantage. After all, the main character is already dead. Even if she has consciousness and a body, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s dead.”
“Is that so?”
“The fact that you are dependent is proof of that. Did you think I would hold a grudge against you?”
“I did a little bit. Acacia said he was your older brother.”
“It’s not Akassian, it’s Akaruan. He is my brother as you said, but he is dead anyway. My brother faced trials on Star #1802 and met a heroic end. What you killed is not my brother, but a corpse made to resemble my brother.”
“Is that so?”
“Giving such a corpse a complete death is no different from showing mercy. It is absurd for me to hold a grudge against you. Rather, I am grateful to you.”
“Is that how it is?”

“Okay. Now ask your question.”
Jin Shihou asked straight away.
“How can we save the Emperor?”
“… … You ask a difficult question. But at the same time, it is an easy question. The life and death of not only the Emperor but all beings belonging to the story of the stars is held by the story of the stars.”
Jin Shihou crossed his legs just like that. The power of life and death.
Simple words, but the content was anything but simple.
“Especially characters in the main story like Emperor can never escape their predetermined fate. That’s the flow of the story of the stars.”
Mary Pressian gave me some better information than I expected.
The fact that the system is not blocking anything separately also means that Mary Pressian is currently spitting out information up to the limit that the system allows.
“From Chapter 2, the boss monster of the main story appears %@#@##, you are already the @#@$@$@ of the Star Story, and you have to proceed with @@%#$… … Hmm, I guess there is no more information than this.”
This was enough.
I really gained a lot of information.
Mary Pressian stretched out her body.
“If you get the chance, go to star #1802. There may be information there that I couldn’t convey through my own mouth. There.”
“there?”
“There will definitely be information left about how the story of the stars unfolds next.”
“That’s just a guess.”
“It’s just a guess, but the progress of the story of the stars that actually happened was recorded in the Pressian Empire. Akaruan Pressian was the best warrior in our star. With just that much power, we passed Phase 3. How could that be possible?”
“Because you had the information?”
“That’s right. The elves’ @$@$$ can communicate with all the elves in the world. Well, even this is blocked.”
Mary Pressian began to scratch the edge of the chair with her hand.
Jin Shi-hoo, who was wondering why she was like that, soon noticed that Mary Pressian was drawing a picture.
The painting was completed in no time.
It was a tree. A very big tree.
“Go look for it. I wish you good luck.”
Jin Shihou, who was staring blankly at the princess of the Pressian Empire, asked a question as if throwing it out.
“There’s no such thing as a will?”
“… … There is a will… … .”
“Do it, it’s the last one.”
“Um… … . I have lived my entire life as a princess of an empire, a daughter of a family, and a commander of an imperial infantry division, without a single moment of shame. It has been a life without regrets.”
It was different.
Mary Pressian was completely different from the Akaruan Pressian who had been killed a while ago.
“I think I’ll be meeting the Ascended. Do you have anything to say to them?”
At this point, Mary Pressian’s eyes sparkled.
She smiles.
And then he gestured to Jin Shihou.
It meant to tell him to come closer, and Jin Shihou, who had nothing to be afraid of, literally came closer.
Mary Pressian’s mouth turns to Jin Shihu’s ear.
“… … Before that, have you seen the ‘end’?”
“Everyone I see these days asks that question. I don’t know either.”
“I see. But are you hostile to the ascendants?”
I ended up laughing. Jin Shihou was able to answer this question clearly.
“First, I’m going to kill at least a few of them.”
Mary Pressian laughed again. It was a truly satisfying answer. She said.
“If you meet the ascended ones, can you tell them this?”
“Try it.”
“… … The tyranny of tens of thousands of years is now over. Scream with your limbs impaled on skewers.”
Jin Shi-hoo raises his head and makes a look of surprise.
Who knew he could say something like that.
“Kill me now.”
“Yeah, thank you for your hard work.”
It was just a polite remark.
Jin Shi-hoo’s hand extends out just like that. Phew.
It pierced Mary Pressian’s heart. Blood poured out of her mouth. That was it.
She felt no pain, because Jin Shihou had blocked all her senses.
“… … Is this how you treat me until the end? As a human… … he’s a decent man.”
He didn’t bother to answer. Jin Shi-hoo thought he was a pretty good man.
Soon Mary Pressian lowers her head.
It’s over.
and.
A message was delivered to all the Awakened in the world, except for the unawakened.
[At 14:22 on June 9, 2034, all elves on star #2403 were killed.]
[Emperor awakens.]
[Emperor regains strength.]
[The Emperor’s spirit awakens.]
[The Emperor moves.]
[I wish you good luck.]
Jin Shihou turned his head.
Jeongbin, whose whole body had turned black, was swinging his fist at Jin Shihoo.
Didn’t stop it.
Paaaaak-!!
Jin Shihou flies through the wall.
The blood spraying into the air was clearly Qin Shihou’s.
#Chapter 4
He shook his head and reached out his hand.
The broken stone wall was in my hand. I grabbed it and slowly stood up.
I was on the 40th floor a moment ago, but now I’m on the ground.
It was hard to describe the feeling of being pounded straight down from 40 stories high.
Actually, it felt worse than it was painful.
I raised my head.
In the broken penthouse wall, Jungbin is seen with his entire body dyed black.
There was a black crown symbolizing Jeongbin’s head. What should I call it?
I should say that they match really well.
“older brother.”
“why?”
If it’s on the 40th floor, it’s probably over 100 meters high, but it didn’t feel like there was that much distance between us. We could hear each other’s voices as if we were talking right next to each other.
“I don’t know why I’m like this right now.”
“what?”
“I just… I want to break it, I want to kill it… My heart is boiling. No, it hurts.”
As he spoke, Jungbin’s face was distorted like a vicious murder. Even to me, a man, Jungbin had a pretty handsome face, but when he was distorted like that, he looked more like a serial killer from a horror movie than handsome. A serial killer who killed about 30 people.
“Binah.”
“… … Yes, brother.”
“What is your wish?”
“… … .”
“I thought the hologram you showed me earlier would grant one wish?”
“yes.”
“And didn’t you tell me that you were glad you met me?”
“you’re right.”
“Tell me your wish.”
Jungbin’s distorted face gradually cleared up. Soon, a smile appeared on his lips.
It’s that smile I know. That gentle smile.
“My wish is for the people around me to be happy.”
I became a little curious.
“Am I included?”
“Of course. My younger brother Hani, although we haven’t known each other for very long, I trust and rely on him as if we’ve known each other for a long time, and… … .”
The guy who was talking laughed hollowly.
“None. Other than that… … they’re people who don’t have much to do with me.”
It was a pity.
Jeongbin is young. He is a guy who is busy living his life, caught up in reality.
I don’t have any close friends. My only family member is my younger sister.
Now that I have some free time, I have to end the life of a guy who is ready to move on for the future.
