“What happened to Tell... it was my fault.”
The old man sat on a broken bench.
A voice filled with regret slipped from his lips.
“I was the forr representative of the All-Gods. After observing the end of the universe, I left the responsibility to those children. They were pure beyond compare. They loved their own lives more than anyone.”
“......”
“My twisted desire... brought about this tragedy.”
Lucadis closed his eyes.
I let out a small laugh.
“So what? You gonna try and undo it all?”
“What has happened cannot be undone. That’s the law of the universe, isn’t it?”
His wrinkled eyes looked at .
“But you intend to defy that current.”
The old man looked up at the sky.
Above, swarms of fragnts writhed.
“The more you resist the flow, the stronger they will return. Like trying to climb an unscalable waterfall. Even we, the All-Gods, resisted with all our might—and were utterly defeated. They... can truly be called infinite.”
“......”
“There’s a common law across M??bius, across Earth where you ca from, and the countless other universes. In the past, I was unbelievably foolish. I dared to go against that current.”
The old man lowered his gaze.
“When I created the System, I wanted to surpass it. I poured all my knowledge, everything that earned
the na ‘Sage-God,’ into it. And what was the result? As you can see—it ended in disgrace.”
A bitter smile spread across his face.
“As long as M??bius exists, they’ll co—those infinite things.”
“Infinite, huh.”
“No matter how strong your power...”
“If they’re infinite—”
I clenched my cloak and stared at the chaos covering the sky.
“If they really are infinite... then that makes it more fun.”
I wanted to test it.
My hands were itching to move, even now.
“Soone once called
the Chalice of Infinity. So what about them? The classic clash of spear against shield—the one that pierces all, versus the one that can’t be pierced. Aren’t you curious which wins?”
“But the years it will take—”
“There’s an end.”
I reached out my right hand.
Shrrrrrk.
Dragon scales unfolded, weaving into the shape of a sword.
“There’s a winner and a loser.”
“......”
“Destiny? Gods? Infinity? Don’t make
laugh. I don’t believe in that kind of crap. What I believe in...”
The sword in my hand.
And—
An unyielding will.
“If you’ve lost to them, then shut up and stay out of my way. You’re just a hindrance to the fight.”
“...You...”
“Who decided things can’t be reversed?”
“......”
“You telling
to give up? That it’s impossible, that I can’t win, so I should just quit?”
I don’t regret it.
I don’t regret standing here.
In all the ti I’ve fought—and all the ti I will continue to fight—
“If they’re coming, let them. I don’t avoid fights that walk up to .”
GROOOHHHHH!
The fragnts let out a screeching wail.
Their eyes locked onto .
Take a good look.
Your enemy is right here.
Rember this clearly.
I will shatter your rules.
Laws etched across the whole universe? I don’t give a damn.
I do this because I want to.
“This battle... it may affect the existence of other universes.”
“Is that so?”
“Universes connected to M??bius might begin to shake. They’ll probably label you as ‘Evil.’”
“Well, good. I hate being cheered for.”
To save one from Townia, I would kill tens of thousands in another world.
Doesn’t matter.
Soone out there may co to hate , revile .
That, too—doesn’t matter.
“...Hahaha...”
Lucadis let out a laugh.
Then, his body began to scatter into light.
“O, one who has transcended.”
“......”
“Are you truly going to surpass it all?”
“I’m not surpassing anything.”
I continued,
“I’m going to win.”
This was my war with them.
One day, a result will co.
And that outco—I was confident of it.
The one who wins...
Is .
I will win.
Billions of fragnts, tens of millions of cores—
Those freaks with glowing eyes, and the unknown forces lurking behind them—
I’ll wipe them all out. Not a single one left.
Until they stop interfering with everything.
KRRAANG!
The ground began to split apart.
Skyscrapers crumbled and vanished between the cracks of chaos.
The city was now completely gone.
「O, one who has transcended.」
Lucadis, now without a body, had turned into a crystal of light.
「Let
bear witness to your path of conquest.」
That light was soon drawn into my chest.
The crystal of the Sage-God.
“What is it?”
I listened to his voice.
Lucadis, stamring, managed to continue:
Leaving just that na behind, Alpha ◆ Nоvеl??g??t ◆ (Only on Nоvеl??g??t) Zero vanished.
I let out a hollow laugh.
Losing his mind at the end, it seed.
Siris?
It rang a bell, but I couldn’t rember.
Well, it didn’t matter.
There was no night or day in this battle.
No eating, no sleeping, no resting.
There was no need to wear the skin of a human anymore.
GROOOHHHH!
The fragnts howled, loud enough to crush the sky.
Looks like they’ve found their prey.
Shhhhk.
I let the Dragon Scale Sword hang low.
I climbed up the side of a half-collapsed building.
KIAAAAAAAK!
Hundreds of thousands of fragnts sward toward .
Until I die—
No one gets out of here.
There won’t be another incident like what happened with Icar.
As long as I hold this “border,” the fragnts won’t show themselves anywhere else in M??bius.
I flicked my cloak.
Waves of golden light rippled from its hem.
In this place...
I opened my left hand.
A golden radiance swept across the ruins of the city.
Ti will pass hundreds of thousands of tis faster than outside.
Eventually, the warped space-ti will misalign this dinsion.
No one in, no one out.
This place will be fully severed from M??bius—recognized as an entirely separate space.
A boundary that exists, yet doesn’t exist.
“Rember this.”
Shhhhng.
I pointed my Dragon Scale Sword at the enemy.
Gods or whatever—they were probably watching
from sowhere.
“My na.”
This was a declaration of war.
A gift from
to all of you.
Let’s begin.
BOOM!
I kicked off from the edge of the building.
The Dragon Scale Sword in my right hand extended far, like a lance.
