Free Web NovelChapter 598: Chapter 598
The more Kanzaki Rei absorbed Yug’s analysis,
the more reasonable the proposal seemed. Yet it also gave rise to another mystery.
"But if that’s the case, you could have told us earlier... Why did you have to get Aegimira and Bani killed?"
Yug chuckled coldly. "It wasn’t me who killed them. They brought death upon themselves."
"The emergence of the Corruption Source Nest could not happen too early, nor too late."
"If it happened too early, it would have abandoned this vessel that possesses all spirituality—just as Aegimira hunted the young Kanzaki Rei—and emerged in its pure Corruption Source Nest form to face us."
"We would never have obtained this body that has already completely fused with the Corruption Source Nest."
"And if it happened too late,"
Yug’s gaze turned toward Kanzaki Rei once more.
"He might have become truly invincible, no longer restrainable by anything."
"Even Yakartikto might not have been able to restore his human heart."
"The awakening of the Corruption Source Nest could only occur at that precise moment."
"And Aegimira and Lorna happened to want to seize that very opportunity."
"As for Bani,"
"Heh, that war maniac—if it learned about traveling to other timelines, you can all imagine what it would try to do."
"I have no desire to start meaningless wars. I only want to fight battles that matter."
Yug provided enough explanation. He had given every Moon-level being present a reason to support Kanzaki Rei becoming a Moon-level being.
As Yug of Knowledge and Wisdom,
he held absolute initiative in persuasion.
In fact, as long as the other party possessed wisdom, Yug could always identify their deepest desires and offer terms that were nearly impossible to refuse.
Yug had convinced every Moon-level being present.
Kanzaki Rei only realized that around the round table—aside from the indifferent White and the absent January Moon-level being—
every other Moon-level being had given their agreement.
This situation
left Kanzaki Rei feeling a strange, inexplicable absurdity from the bottom of his heart.
He had been walking the path of increasing his strength the entire time.
He had been growing stronger and stronger.
Yet in the end, he discovered that the strongest beings in this world were not in absolute opposition to one another. They did not necessarily have to fight to the death.
They could sit down and talk properly.
They could negotiate and reach an outcome.
There had been no need to fight them at all...
Had he ever considered such a possibility? In truth, Kanzaki Rei had. But he had always assumed it would only come after he possessed the combat power to truly battle Moon-level beings—after he had beaten them into submission—before any semblance of peace could arrive.
...
After leaving the mysterious meeting space,
Kanzaki Rei arrived at Yug’s divine kingdom.
He was no longer particularly afraid of Yug. In terms of pure combat strength, Kanzaki Rei believed he could defeat him.
"Master."
A voice called out.
Kanzaki Rei turned his head and saw Matsusei appear behind him.
Yug: "You left in such a hurry back then. I saw that your disciple had no one to look after him, and he’s an excellent magic prodigy, so I brought him along for you."
"His magical concepts are very promising."
"In the near future, he should be able to construct yet another entirely new form of the Origin. Although I possess vast knowledge, there is still a considerable gap between knowing and actually achieving it."
Matsusei’s eyes brimmed with hot tears. Seeing Kanzaki Rei left him so overcome with emotion that he could not speak.
"Master..."
Kanzaki Rei flashed to his side, crouched down, and placed a hand on top of his head, gently ruffling his hair.
"I know."
"You did your best. That’s enough."
Matsusei was now a 5th Rank Mage.
Rising from 2nd Rank to 5th Rank in a single month was already extremely fast. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
But against the scale of changes sweeping the world, it still seemed insignificant.
Yug: "With this matter concluded, no one else should disturb you from now on."
"There should be no place in this world you cannot go."
"When the day comes that you truly become a Moon-level being, that will be the time for us to act."
[Heavenly Realm]
Beside Jua floated a mass of viscous darkness.
"I never expected even you to agree. I thought you would never stop until you had purified everything."
"Are you finally admitting defeat?"
Jua gazed at the vast golden sky. "If I had simply been stopped by you, I would never have given up."
"But the vision he proposed truly leaves no room for refusal."
"If light can extend to even more distant worlds, I indeed no longer need to keep my gaze fixed solely here."
"Moreover, from the moment the world was created, you and I have been locked in conflict. Even Moon-level beings have changed generations, and eras have been destroyed and reborn through countless cycles."
"Yet it is still you and I fighting. Even I have grown somewhat weary."
Naraku: "So you can get tired too? I thought you would oppose me until the day the world is completely destroyed."
"Still, that guy only convinced us. I wonder how he plans to deal with the others."
"After all, besides the Moon-level beings, there are them."
Naraku’s projection lifted her eyes, looking toward the upper reaches of the Heavenly Realm. Above was a staircase leading to even higher skies.
It was a 10th Rank architectural creation.
"Yug should go negotiate with him. It has indeed been a long time since we last saw him—that 10th Rank Builder, Teifu."
"However, there has been no news of him since five thousand years ago..."
The world contained countless wonders and majestic structures.
These unparalleled masterpieces were grand yet intricate, as if not crafted by mortal hands.
Legends of an architect of legendary buildings circulated throughout the world.
「Origin Divine Kingdom」
Izparut’s divine kingdom had expanded billions of times beyond its original scale.
It had completely encompassed the temporal seal. With the seal now inside Izparut’s divine kingdom, he had fully deciphered it.
"Outside... it seems the world has changed."
"I can no longer sense Lorna’s meeting room. Did something happen to her?"
He strolled through the divine kingdom.
At its very center was an infinitely rotating core.
The core resembled a sphere.
But upon closer inspection, it was actually a polyhedron with infinite faces.
Yet if one delved even deeper,
one would discover that the number of faces was finite—simply impossible to count no matter the effort.
This was Iz’s Origin.
The Origin that Iz had reshaped.
...
At this moment, the world was shrouded in chaos. The White of Death and Destruction, having freed herself from her vow, walked the world once more... But this time, her descent did not destroy even a fraction of the world.
What remained were only a few 9th Rank job-changers still present in the world, some 9th Rank monsters, and a handful of Nest Lords.
Everywhere was desolation and ruin.
[Deep Earth]
Kumironi held her hands over her heart, having gathered every soul together.
To reshape a world without death or suffering, simply having the Tree of Wisdom and the descent of the Netherworld was not enough.
Another condition was required.
Kumironi needed to transform the world’s environment and remake all the souls so they could adapt to the reshaped world.
This process required her to collect every soul in the world and remake them all at once.
There was only one chance.
One could even say that Aegimira turning the world into chaos and killing all living beings had actually helped Kumironi.
Only a handful of people remained in the entire world.
July 31st...
This day passed along with the destruction of the world.
August 1st.
At exactly 0:00 a.m., accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the entire world,
the Origin was successfully reshaped.
