318 A little dirt on your forehead.

The first propaganda book I did was to spread a desperate rumor by an Elven agent's family around the heavenly city of Kronos.

Don't be fooled by Kronos. Come back to the arms of humanity.

My guess is, the Elven agents have no idea what they're doing.

I never would have done it if I'd known.

Honestly, they're members of the human race, and they're family members, so why would they join in killing the human race and killing their families?

You cannot do this unless you have a sincere faith.

However, no matter how pure he was, he could not pull the trigger easily towards his family.

So I clearly reminded myself of this in the Pira.

The humanity that you're going to kill will be your families.

‘Regret Squad. ’

It was the name of a battlefield of about 20,000 Kronos.

I gave them intensive training and armed them with state-of-the-art weapons.

Specifically, the Magic Fighter was the top priority.

Their mission is to fly to the heavenly city of Kronos and drop bombs.

Of course, supplying a magical fighter could have flown it all the way to Kronos to surrender, but it didn't matter.

We still have 30,000 gasoline left in our hands.

If any of the penitent troops surrendered, the rest of their families would do the heroic work of the front-line Human Shield troops, so they would never be able to surrender on their own accord.

It may come out a little, but there's nothing I can do.

We can't go on any kind of mission, even with those poisonous bastards in mind.

But there was a man who, surprisingly, strongly opposed my operation.

It was Katrina, the apostle of Valiant Pair Justice.

“Hey! Don't you dare! ”

The Catherine Castle echoes into my office at the Bastein Kingdom Coastal Outpost.

As soon as he heard the news of the Penitent Army, he came running.

“Why?”

“If things go according to your plan, we should kill each other with our families. Is this your job as a human being? ”

“So we're going to call this operation off? ”

“Yes!”

“Then the law requires us to execute them all as a banquet for treason. ”

Katrina grimaces.

There is definitely such a law.

A traitor's family is executed for the crimes of the series.

“Nevertheless. ”

“It may seem cruel, but this is the only way they survive. This is the only way for mankind to survive. You know the drill. Answer me honestly. What happens to Chronos without the Elves? ”

Katrina dodges her gaze.

“Most functions will stop. The buoyancy won't even fire a cannon. ”

“And with the elven agents holding their own gone, the Valkyries will feel deserted. And you realize, at least, how cruel they are to humanity. This means that the Valkyrie's fighting will may be greatly diminished. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I stared at Katrina with sharp eyes.

Now she doesn't know.

What sorrow humanity suffered in the age of destruction.

Honestly, the pain of the penitent troops is nothing compared to the blood of a new foot.

At least there's hope of survival.

And if we lose this war, we won't even have that.

At that time, members of the penitent troops, like all mankind, must die in a miserable fate.

“Please don't say that. At this rate, humanity is doomed. There's no room for means and means. ”

“But what does that mean for humanity to survive? ”

It was a very moralistic thing to say.

Even if we die, we still have to protect our humanity?

It sounds humane, but if you do what she says, we'll have a cruel end ahead of us.

But I say it because I'm not old yet.

Katrine in her past life has done much more cruel things than I do now.

“I'm just trying to protect my humanity. Now, of course, the configuration of the penitent troops must feel very harsh. But in the age of destruction, it becomes universal beyond what is natural. Why? When that time comes, humanity destroys its own humanity. ”

“How do you know that? Have you seen it? ”

No, I experienced myself beyond what I saw and acted with my own hands.

I am the human and the good that I am now living in the age of peace, but I was the devil himself at the time.

“I've seen a lot. It always happens on the battlefield, doesn't it? You sound like you haven't seen him. ”

“Yes · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Anyway, I just chose the best path. If this strategy succeeds and humanity wins, I'm the bad guy, nothing more. But if humanity comes to a time of devastation, then everyone is evil. Why? Age will destroy humanity for all. Now, choose. The former or the latter? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But we have no other way. There is no other way, of course, but unfortunately Kronos does. Abandoning the coming of God. ”

Katrina loses her words and settles down on the couch in the Oval Office.

As long as she has a head, she knows the strategy of the penitent troops is quite useful, and she can roughly predict what will happen to humanity if the apocalypse comes.

“This is crazy.”

“Yeah. This is crazy. ”

Katrina stares at me.

“So when do you plan to attack Kronos? ”

“Optimal timing with the highest odds. ”

“When will that be? ”

“The longer the better. As time goes on, the human race grows stronger. Whereas Chronos' power will be weakened. ”

“So when exactly? ”

I looked out the window with spring energy.

“It's about this time next year. It's too dangerous to drag it any further. ”

Then it means that there is only one year left.

Though time is of the essence, this was also a precious opportunity gained by the victory of the past battle.

If not, he should have been there at least this winter.

Katrina rises from her seat.

“Okay. We'll be ready for you. ”

I looked at Katrina's belly protruding out of the sliding crevice.

“Never mind. You have to be ready for the baby. ”

Katrina turns on the twin sisters.

“Hey! Is that what you're going to say? Soon humanity will perish. ”

“I know. But even if humanity perishes, a child is born before that. So if the world dies tomorrow, we fight with the feeling of planting apple trees today. Okay?"

“Phew, okay. I'll be careful. I'll see you then. ”

“Yes."

After Katrina left, I took a look at the documents in the quiet office.

It was a report on population growth, and strangely enough, it contained the recent spike in pregnant women.

You never know.

The world might end tomorrow, but I don't know what kind of symbol this is, making more babies.

"Hehe. Do you want to plant an apple tree today if the world dies tomorrow, just like me?" ’

* * *

In the afternoon of a mild spring day, I was on a journey stuck in the training room looking for an unknown energy.

Finding the power that only a Soul Master can use.

It is only a matter of time before the final battle weighs the fate of mankind.

To increase the odds of a human army, any one of our seven must climb to the Soul Master and relieve Savannah of her burden.

Or Savondia will face the challenge of two Valkyrie queens alone.

‘I must go up. The closest person to the Soul Master is me, not anyone else. ’

I've been wandering around in a hazy memory, looking for and finding.

Every time a terrible moment of death came true, I constantly tried and tried.

No matter how vivid I felt, my previous death was already in the past, and the age of doom was a reality that was certain to come.

Never, for fear of the death of a fantasy, could I turn away from the death of reality.

I once again experienced the death of a lifetime and fell into an unknown space.

The moment I had a brief conversation with some great energy.

But encouragingly, the brief encounter was getting longer and clearer over time.

The memory of the past is becoming more and more surface to reality.

And the moment that memory was perfectly represented, I would think of myself as a blurred spirit.

I am made up of pure spirituality.

“Whoo-hoo.”

Suddenly, I flinched at the strange sounds I heard.

It was the first sound I heard in this space of memories that had been immersed in infinite silence.

Although it was just noise, I could only guess what it was. It was a conversation of the soul.

There was no evidence, no memory, but it seemed like a conversation.

That proves my blurry memory.

Who the hell was I talking to? ’

I was curious, but I couldn't focus only on the noisy conversations.

It's because I knew that a huge spiritual explosion was about to take place.

At this point, the wave of spiritual power was so strong that it was also a great opportunity for me to feel spiritual power.

A huge burst of radiance.

I stretched out my hands to the memory to capture its radiance.

But the senseless energy of dispersion, as always.

I made a desperate move to feel the energy in my hands.

Suddenly, a beam of gentle energy passed by with my fingertips.

I was drawn to the energy in a hurry, but he ran away somewhere, wrapped around my forearm like a sick woman.

‘Holy shit. Did I miss it?’

By the time I was disappointed, that beam of energy returned and was playfully hovering over my head.

But this time I folded my mind and let go of the energy.

It's because I had a vision of the spirit I had heard from Sabondia before.

Unlike the submissive energy of Manana nature, spiritual power had a mutual relationship with me and also a free will.

This means that the way to accept spiritual power is not my will, but relationships.

There can't be free will in the energy of my will.

And there was only a way to combine will and will.

although I don't know if it's a coincidence or a coincidence that it's just passing by.

However, that energy soon faded away.

Phew! Another failure? ’

I opened my eyes full of disappointment, with no more reason to stay in the memory space.

I thought it was a good chance to feel spiritual power, but I flew too far.

But there was no results at all.

I didn't feel very spiritual, but I've watched for a long time and learned a little bit about his personality.

As Savannah said, spirituality is free will.

“Let's settle for a step forward. ”

After leaving the training room, I went to the bathroom to wash.

I don't know how many days have passed this time, but my body smells all squishy, like it hasn't been washed quite yet.

And I accidentally stole my forehead when I saw the mirror in the bathroom.

In the middle of his forehead was a glittering dust.

However, no matter how much I stole, the dust was not washed away.

I pushed it with a towel just in case, but the sparkling dust doesn't go away.

“Oh, really? ”

For a moment, I thought about it, and I shook my head.

It was too small and insignificant to pretend, and even though I had just joined the Soul Master, nothing happened.

When I was a master or a mind master, I had a very mysterious experience.

Today I had a day that was no different than when I meditated before.

If only there was one difference, something strange would have stayed with me for a while.

I hurriedly ran out and kicked myself into the room next to my study.

“Zambe! ”

As Zambe, who was practicing meditation, opened his eyes and cried out, making an impression.

“Hey! Human! What if I interrupt someone's meditation training without manners? ”

I approached Zenbee, who was grasping at the furnace, and held out my finger pointed forehead.

“What do you see here? ”

“What is wrong with you? ”

“You got something shiny on you. ”

Zambe tilts her head, looking at my forehead, a sheep who can't speak English.

“There's nothing here. ”

“Aigoo, check it out. ”

Zambe shakes her head, looking back.

“Nothing. I can't see anything. ”

“Really? Is there really no sparkling dust? ”

“I don't see it at all. Then why are you doing this? ”

I'm glad I jumped in place.

I can see it, but I can't see Zenbee, the Mind Master.

There is only one such trace in the world. I'm talking about Young-An.

Although it was as small as a speck of dust, it was most likely a ghost.

“Got it!”

“What the hell? ”

I shouted with an excited face.

“You said you couldn't see anything. ”

“Yes.”

“That's normal. ”

Zambe's eyes widen.

“You? Are you kidding me? ”

“No, I can see it. Even if it's invisible to me. ”

Seeing me with a curious face for a moment, Zambe suddenly stood up.

“You, Stan, or not? ”

“Yeah, I don't think so. I stumbled upon a small energy during my meditation training today, and suddenly it was like this. ”

“Any other phenomena? ”

“Not at all. It's just a picture. ”

Zambe folds her arms silently.

“Then it's ambiguous. ”

“Oh, shit. Don't say anything untrue. ”

“But I can't let anything happen, can I? ”

“Why not? There could be. ”

“Hmmm. That's what I heard. ”

Zambe grins her head.

Since no one has ever been to the Soul Master in history, of course, we can't be sure about Zambe.

But there was one, except for humanity. If I asked her, she would know.

“I'll have to ask her first. Because she would know. ”

“That should do it. Check it out. ”

“Got it.”

I left the training ground immediately and went to Evelyn.

She knows exactly where Savannah is.
