New chapter of Gluttony Berserker~

Enjoy~

As we moved forward, there were many huge pieces of rubble floating in the air. It looked like it belonged to a Gallian building.

Perhaps because of the instability of the world, a large, bottomless rift suddenly appeared in front of . Floating debris was useful to avoid it.

I looked ahead while jumping onto the largest piece of rubble. Souls flowed across the horizon. The spectacle turned an otherwise bright red world into vivid colors.

When souls ca into contact with each other, they seed to emit a wide variety of lights such as blue, yellow, and green. As they gathered and beca denser, they had more opportunities to co into contact with each other, and the colors beca stronger and more colorful.

From the other side of the horizon, they mixed together to create a rainbow.

The gigantic rainbow over the crimson world was an impossible spectacle in my world. Perhaps for that reason, it was so fantastic that I couldn't help but stare into it.

[Is this rubble from a previous battle?]

『That's it. It was stopped when it was about to open, but it swallowed many things.』

[Then, this ti?]

『If you open it up, it will take in sothing other than these. What should be harvested in the first place.』

After sowing the seeds (skills), the grown crops (status) must be harvested. Normally, take it slow, wait for your skills to grow, and accept them when you lose a life. Greed says it's probably about forcing people to do things that were left to nature.

Even if you're not dead, your soul would be forcefully brought here.

『Now there are souls that originally gathered in this world. Once this flow is over, it will start to be taken in from the outside,』

[Really?]

『What I have said so far was Mikuriya’s hypothesis. It seems that it was true from the matching of this current situation.』

"Mikuriya?" If I rember correctly…it must have been a female researcher who had a close relationship with Kairos.

It was when I dived into her spiritual world to help Myne who was trapped in the past.

At that ti, I received the assistance of Kairos. I happened to catch a glimpse of his fragnted mory in the process. Mikuriya seed to be investigating the Door to His Land.

In Kairos' mories, it seed that Mikuriya ended up dying by his hands. However, Mikuriya's soul was not in the Gluttony skill.

I sharpened my senses again and looked inside the Gluttony skill, but she wasn't there.

[Where is she now?]

『Mikuriya was not eaten by the Gluttony skill. By taking her own life, she traveled to that land.』

[Her own life?]

『Oh, yes. There seem to be two reasons. Kairos certainly didn’t want her to be taken in by the Gluttony skill. That's why she thought to end her life herself. But maybe she knew. That this ti may co.』

[This light is…]

A color different from other souls ca to . Not only going against the flow, it flew round and round around .

I heard Kairos' voice inside .

(Mikuriya, huh… to et again in such a form and place)

As if responding to Kairos' words, the golden soul began to take on the form of a human being while emitting light.

[Gluttony-san. Hello, I'm Mikuriya.]

[Hello…..]

I never thought that the person I was talking to would appear in front of … Kairos inside also seed surprised.

While being taken aback, Mikuriya explained with a troubled face.

[I'm sorry, Kairos. There was no choice but to do this. After all, we can't co here with our bodies. Instead, we ca here with only our souls. Thanks to that, I was able to advance various researches.]

[For research!?]

That's why you died!?

Researchers were often eccentric. My acquaintance Raine was also a person who is willing to do a lot of things for research. There were a lot of things that made nervous when she was nearby. His father, Mugan, would be worried sick each ti.

Mikuriya seems to be more of a genuine researcher than Raine.

[That's right… I couldn’t help it. But I didn’t know I would go this far.]

[I don't want to hear you surprised after coming this far…]

[Anyways, I was waiting for you]

[?]

[Yes, I have insurance for that. One day you will co…Kairos' successor. Can you tell your na?]

[Fate Barbatos]

[I see. That's how Dean nad his son. Fate… it's a perfect na.]

[Do you know my father?]

It can be inferred that they were close enough to call my father by his first na. An acquaintance of both Dad, who was a Sacred Beastman, and Kairos, who possessed the Mortal Sin skill.

Mikuriya said while looking straight at .

[Because I am also a sacred beastman. Oh… you're not surprised. How disappointing/]

[Because I thought that it’s the most likely case already.]

[It makes it easier to explain then. I, who died and beca a soul, am not bound by the Sacred Stigmata. It has been proven that what is engraved on my body does not extend to my soul. It is strange to die and be free.]

Even though she was dead, Mikuriya had a sowhat refreshing look on her face. It looks a lot like the face Dad showed when he was released from the Sacred Stigmata.

I wonder if the Sacred Stigmata was such an absolute existence for the Holy Beastn.

That revelation doesn't manifest itself in . Perhaps soone else was in charge of it. I inherited the power of a holy beastman. And as a human, it got mixed up with the Gluttony skill.

At this mont as well, I'm sure that another one of the Gluttony Skill were looking for opportunities to replace .

Mikuriya turned to with a sad face, completely different from before.

[Fate, if all this was within the frawork of pre-established harmony, what would you do?]

[From the battle of Kairos, everything up until now is like that?]

[Yes, that's what happens.]

[Even talking to you here?]

[I am nothing more than a small resistance. I can never overturn it at this level. Unless I stop the flow where it is blocked, it will overflow again soday. It's just like buying ti.]

Mikuriya said so while looking at the direction in which the souls were flowing.

[Even so, I will fight until the end. Even if I buy ti like Kairos, I can connect to the next one. Even if it fails, I will entrust it to the next one.]

Just like how Kairos entrusted with the Black Sword Greed, I'm sure that ti will co soday.

[I made a promise with a certain person. I said that I would definitely co back. I'll stop Libra, take Roxy and return to the original world. No matter how impossible it seems.]

I thought of Aaron's face waiting in the Royal Capital. He should still continue to fight to protect the Royal Capital.

If the harvest of souls reached the Royal Capital, it would be impossible to return ho. Either way, we've co this far and there's no going back.

[You look a lot like Kairos. I'm relieved.]

[Like Kairos?]

We seem to be a completely different type, but when I asked Greed, he gave the sa answer.

『He’s a lot like you alright. There's no such thing as give up in your dictionary.』

[Exactly! Especially when you try to resist in any situation.]

[Umm…is that a complint?]

[I followed that pattern and waited here. For a long ti, until I got tired of waiting.]

Mikuriya slowly raised her hand and placed it on my forehead.

[Use the soul knowledge you've gained here to rearrange your soul. Remove your shackles.]

[Shackles?]

[You, who are a human mixed with the Gluttony skill, and another you as a sacred beastman. An irregular who was born a human, carrying both a mortal sin skill, and a sacred beastman blood. By being out of the system, you are unable to demonstrate your true power. I will use my soul to supplent it.]

You can't stop Mikuriya at this point.

Will I be able to rge with my other self?

I didn't think I could have a decent conversation with him.
