Episode 222 < God standing in the square. (2) >
3.
The world was broken like a mirror.
Damn it -.
Slowly, little by little, the scenery of the grand assembly hall crumbled. The amniotic fluid flowing under my feet broke. The Marquis of Snow White, trembling next to me, cracked. The nobles were broken. Damn it! Damn… … .
The world escaped from the broken window.
Through the crack, a scene somewhere other than the parliament was reflected. The Marquis Baekseolto wielding a whip. Viscount Daeharan burning down the village. The world was split into a hundred thousand pieces. A scream escaped from every cracked part.
“is it so. Mr. Confucius.”
Kaleidoscope.
This was the world of amethyst.
“Your reasoning is correct.”
with a splash.
Viscount Amethyst walked to the center of Parliament with amniotic fluid on her feet. Her world shattered on both sides of her steps. In the broken scenery, the scenery of other places was invariably damaged.
“This life is not the first life for a small person.”
“…….”
I took a breath.
“How many times is this?”
“I don’t know. No, you can know, but will it really give you the answer you want? Mr. Confucius. “Aren’t you worried about small people fainting from exhaustion after repeating their lives for hundreds of millions?”
Yes.
Raviel is a strong person. Even Raviel was trapped in an eternal cycle of ten days, and his heart rotted and crumbled. But what if someone repeats his life forever, not just for ten days?
What is in that person’s heart?
What kind of odor would come out?
“There is one special ability that was originally given to small people.”
In no time, Viscount Amethyst had reached the very center of the council.
Even the throne in the center was broken like a glass cabinet. The armrest of the chair was broken in the middle, and in the broken space, the scene of Viscount Pureheuksin performing cannibalism was illuminated sparsely. One of the throne’s legs was also broken. An unknown person died there too.
“There are and have been many dragons in this world.”
Amethyst sat down.
A throne with broken armrests and broken legs.
She raised her arms at the sight of man killing man, and lowered her leg at the sight of man killing man.
“There are people who have made a special contract with the dragon. The Dragon Emperor’s Guard. Dragon Knight. The names they call each other vary greatly depending on the region, but they have one thing in common. “The descendants of these people have inherited dragon blood.”
“Dragon blood?”
“yes. “You can think of it as a minor copy of the dragon’s power.”
Amethyst stroked the armrests of the glass throne.
“For example, let’s say there is a dragon that can build a vast library and store all the records of all things in it. That is the power of the dragon. On the other hand, Dragon Blood’s special ability is, at best, something you can do by entering the library and borrowing books from time to time.”
Viscount Amethyst was expressionless.
The lips parted, no longer smiling.
“The relationship between the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Knight can be likened to that between a god and a believer. Therefore, a person who has been blessed with dragon blood is also called an apostle.”
I paused.
“If you are an apostle… … .”
“Among the apostles that Confucius knows, there must be the Lady of the Golden Silk.”
The image of a young lady swinging a huge hammer and cursing the world came to mind.
The abilities of the Golden Silk. It was a body that took absolutely no damage from physical attacks.
“The dwarf’s ability is [Perfect Memory].”
Viscount Amethyst said.
“A small person remembers everything he has seen, heard, and felt. Not only can you remember, but you can also look back on the memories as if you were in a lucid dream.”
“Have you never seen a similar power somewhere, Mr. Confucius?”
there is.
It was very close.
Now, I thought of the face of a part-time worker smilingly serving customers at a cafe.
The owner of the Great Library, who once collected records of all things in the universe. The library director of all things.
“Hamustra… … .”
“[A pond filled with memories].”
Viscount Amethyst spoke the true name of the library director.
“The little man inherited the power of Hamustra. In ancient times, an apostle who worshiped Hamustra as a god descended on this kingdom. Although Sado was eventually repulsed, he left behind a descendant before he died. If you trace the genealogy of small people all the way back, you will arrive at Sado.”
Thanks, Amethyst said.
“Something like this is possible.”
That was the moment the Viscount raised his finger.
So so so so so-.
The glass window covering the entire world was broken once again. A piece of broken glass fell and made contact with a piece of glass that fell just as it did. When the two pieces of glass collided, they suddenly glowed brightly and turned into a pure white butterfly.
The two pieces of glass became bifurcated wings. The world shattered, millions of pieces of glass fell, and hundreds of thousands of butterflies flew as the pieces stuck together.
So bad, so bad… … .
White butterflies were in full bloom in this world, like flower petals flowing in the wind.
“Come this way. Mr. Confucius.”
Viscount Amethyst gestured.
“…….”
I took a deep breath and headed towards the mirror throne.
Drumming.
White butterflies were already fluttering around me. One of them passed right in front of my nose. A voice came out from the butterfly’s wings. -The Count was killed. Young lady.

The butterfly was made up of two pieces of glass. Each silver wing preserved its own scenery. The person illuminated by the wings of this butterfly was Count Arujo.
The young count pursed his lips.
-Who is your first brother?
-There is no news. I headed out with a deadly force to retrieve the Count’s remains, but I haven’t heard any news yet. I dare say at the risk of profanity that maybe… … .
-iced coffee.
-miss. I can’t help it. The young lady is also a proud member of the Tiger Count family. Misfortune comes to everyone, but the tiger swallows it up, chews it to shreds, and then spits it out at the world that dares to challenge it.
-I am ignorant of politics. I’m not ready.
-Humans are born into this world unprepared, and face a death they cannot prepare for. Life isn’t about preparing, it’s just about enduring. miss. Come to the throne.
A white butterfly flew lightly.
Inside the butterflies fluttering like flower petals.
“…….”
On the wings of one butterfly was engraved the image of the Marquis Snow White holding back tears. There was also Viscount Pureheuksin who gritted his teeth.
Viscount Daeharan muttered, suppressing his anger.
-They were scumbags who couldn’t do anything during the rebellion. When they come to the National Assembly, they are all generals and they are all decorated generals. f*ck, should I kill these guys?
Hundreds of thousands of butterflies were fluttering about, each making noise.
“as you see.”
Viscount Amethyst spoke to me as I arrived at the throne.
“All the past events that Soin experienced are recorded here. Originally, I only remembered the lives of small people, but after obtaining [Golden Dragon’s Eyes] and [Ice Dragon’s Breath], I began to remember other people’s lives as well.”
“…….”
“This is a world where the memories of small people are recorded. There are only two people, including you, who have set foot here. “You can be proud of it, Mr. Confucius.”
“Am I now invited into the Viscount’s consciousness?”
“yes. “That’s right.”
Viscount Amethyst opened her palm.
“According to your way of saying, you are looking into the skills of a small person.”
There, a golden, sparkling card was formed.
Among the skills possessed by the top owner, this was the last card.

[Mansaeng (萬生)]
Rank: EX
Effect: An ability that was originally limited to ‘complete memory ability’. However, as it overlapped with several skills, it blossomed into a completely higher-level skill. This is a glass garden where the people, objects, and events you have experienced are recorded. You can replay any number of memories stored here if you wish.
That’s not all.

Boom.
Something landed on the back of my hand.
It was the butterfly I saw earlier.
-Ahh!
A red sight flowed from the transparent surface of the glass wings. This scene is now a little familiar to me. An image of Marquis Baekseolto wielding a whip was played.
only.
The face of the child moaning under the whip was different.
-Ugh, ugh! Ah, ahhh!
It was the face of amethyst.
Much younger than I am now.
I took a momentary breath.
“viscount. What the hell is this… … ?”
“What if the person who encountered the Lady of the Marquis of Snow White that day was not a free child but a child?”
slam!
The thick whip ripped into the flesh of young Amethyst’s back. There were blood stains in her eyes.
“This is a scene that unfolds under such contingency assumptions. Small people fully understand the causal relationships of the past. [If there was someone else at the time]. [If something else had happened]. “IF scenarios can be reconstructed as many times as desired.”
“Why are you looking at this IF scenario? … ?”
“Because that’s how you can find out.”
A scream broke out.
“How painful it was for the child who was killed by the Marquis.”
In the scene reflected by the glass wings, Amethyst fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
“People don’t want to be easily understood. They don’t like it when others tell them how sick they really were, how much pain they were in, or that they [understand you]. Of course. Small people are strangers to each other.”
slam!
My small back twitched.
When she was whipped, Amethyst squeezed the snow that had accumulated on the ground and twisted it. As if trying to hold on to a dying life.
“The little man will stand before the people who suffered in this kingdom. And I’m going to say it. [I know how much pain you have been in].”
The snow I was holding in my hands melted from my body temperature.
It flowed one after another.
The snow was flowing and there was a puddle of blood on the floor.
Transparent water slowly spread across the bright red surface.
“The pain they went through. The pain they endured. The pain they will endure. “Only by knowing them all can a person finally speak to them without a single lie.”
I know how much you have suffered.
“Now, let the small person suffer that much pain.”
“The Golden Rule… … .”
“yes. That’s right. “The people who were sacrificed and marginalized by the kingdom are finally understood by the small people.”
“…….”
“The people can take out the resentment that cannot be resolved anywhere, the resentment that cannot be resolved against anyone, on small people. Do you understand? Small people don’t just comfort them with sympathy. “It’s not just about comforting people with words.”
Viscount Amethyst said.
“Little people really understand.”
With transparent eyes.
“They can really understand.”
“…….”
“With Soin ascending to the throne, not a single citizen will be alienated from the kingdom anymore. Of course, misfortune will not stop. Someone will suffer. But now the kingdom, through the little people, understands their suffering. Please accept it. “Let me go.”
I am.
I looked around in confusion once again.
-Help me! Please, general, save me!
It’s hell.
-Ahh!
-Ugh… … Ugh. ah… … .
In this garden made of glass, Viscount Amethyst shed blood and screamed on behalf of someone else. Even on the pillars that make up the garden. Also in the arches supporting the dome. Even in the countless glass windows that make up the walls. Even in the hundreds of thousands of butterflies fluttering around the pillars, under the dome, and on the sides of the walls. Viscount Amethyst was bleeding everywhere.
-My, my name is Lady Snow White. The Marquis’s daughter.
That wasn’t all.
-On a commoner topic. I know with honor!
In one glass wing, Lady Snow White came to apologize to Amethyst.
In that IF scenario, Amethyst did not die.
Amethyst had better physical strength than the original commoner child. He was healthier. Although his body was damaged by the whipping, it did not lead to his death.
-The little girl’s name is Amethyst.
-amethyst? That’s a strange name.
-The lady… … .
In that world, Amethyst and Lady Snow White became increasingly closer.
Amethyst, who was born as a commoner, was smart and capable enough to make up for Lady Baekseolto’s lack of knowledge.
Thanks to the secret tutoring he received from Amethyst, Baek Seol-to was able to neatly complete the homework assigned by his grandfather.
-I was praised by my grandfather for the first time! What do we do!? I’m so happy. My mouth keeps grinning, but what should I really do? … ?
-congratulations. Young-ae.
-huh! It’s all thanks to Amethyst!
Lady Snow White grabbed Amethyst’s hand and jumped up.
There, there was no trace of a noble daughter full of stubbornness and prejudice who believed that nobles and commoners should not breathe in the same place.
A small coincidence made a difference.
A small change created a meeting.
Small encounters were creating humans.
-I will live for you.
Viscount Pureheuksin, who had met Amethyst a little earlier, smiled brightly.
No, he was no longer a viscount. Pure Black God threw away the noble rank. And he joined the special task force with Amethyst. The two became close colleagues and caught the kingdom’s crimes one by one.
-We must avoid massacres of civilians. General.
-why?
Viscount Dae Haran, who had Amethyst as his advisor, pouted his lips.
-It’s quicker to slaughter, right?
-It may be fast, but it is not correct. It becomes much more difficult to clean up afterward. Although this is now hostile territory, it is a land that will be restored to royal territory anyway. General, you must create citizens of the kingdom, not enemies of the kingdom… … .
Countless glasses.
Countless white butterflies.
On countless worlds, Amethyst bled, screamed, and died. This formed the left wing of the butterfly.
And on the other side, a slightly better possibility flowed. A scene continued where there were no victims and no murderers. This formed the right wing of the butterfly.
There were so many butterflies in her world, and so much death and life.
“Because there was no predisposition.”
Glass and butterflies. Blood and screams. death and life.
“Because it was too late. Because I was born too late. “All the tragedies in the world happened.”
Under the white butterflies flowing down.
God held his small hands together as if he was praying somewhere.
“If Soin had been by your side, you would have had a slightly better ending. I would have lived a slightly happier life. It’s my fault for not being able to always be by your side. crime. Therefore, the little people will scream as much as you have suffered.”
forever.
“…….”
I finished reading the words engraved on the card.

You know what causes and effects past events were composed of. The more precisely you identify the causes, the more accurately you can construct IF scenarios.
You can simulate the world.
※However, this skill can only be activated if you have acquired [Golden Dragon’s Eyes] and [Ice Dragon’s Breath].

The power to create hell was there.
“Mr. Confucius.”
The master of Mansaeng opened his mouth.
“Soin asked how many times he was repeating this life.”
“…….”
“No matter how many times I answer, it’s meaningless. A small person does not just repeat his or her life. subjects of the kingdom. All those who have lived and died in the kingdom over the years. “Because we are living their lives for eternity.”
so.
Therefore, Viscount Amethyst’s life was a trauma.
The reason why, unlike other people, my entire life was chosen as a trauma.
“always… … .”
I was speechless.
“Are you always replaying these scenes in the back of your head? Even while we were just sitting in Congress?”
“yes.”
“Even when you’re smiling in front of your lovers?”
“yes.”
Viscount Amethyst said.
“sorry.”
Tuk.
A single word fell from Amethyst’s expressionless face.
“sorry.”
“…….”
“I’m sorry I was born late. I’m sorry for not being able to live with you all. “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”
sorry.
The butterflies flying in the glass garden uttered those words in unison. The happy IF scenario is off. The silver wings reflected reality, where Marquis Baekseolto whipped a young commoner, Viscount Pureheuksin ate human flesh, and Viscount Daeharan burned down a village.
“sorry.”
The young god was saying sorry to everyone.
He was apologizing for the deaths, all the disasters, and all the catastrophes that had occurred in this kingdom so far. Dead to man. A person who kills someone. Dead to something that is not human. A person who is not a person.
About everything.
“sorry. everyone.”
That was the only sound left in her heart.
“viscount… … .”
I couldn’t bear it anymore so I took a step,
“sorry. Mr. Confucius.”
Viscount Amethyst held my left hand.
“Because Soin was not by Gongja Kim’s side.”
Something warm passed from her hand to mine.
When I looked down, in my grasp, a white butterfly was curled up with its wings folded.
“So Confucius was killed by Yu Su-ha.”
spurt.
My breathing stopped.
“So, Confucius had no choice but to kill Yu Su-ha.”
Sararak.
The butterfly slowly opened its white wings.
And the world reflected in the glass wings unfolded.
etc,
