The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Chapter 352
My friends were silent for a moment.
Should I say that I am not sure how to take my words?
“So, are you saying that in fact, all members of the imperial family have their souls pledged? that is…It’s the result of a contract between the apostle over there and His Majesty the first emperor.”
“It is a definite matter.”
The present as we know it is the result of that contract.
In other words, the huge nation called the Empire itself was born because of the contract with the apostle.
“Heh heh….”
All of them had complex expressions.
From the point of view of an apostle, manipulating time and space at will was a big mistake. Because you denied your duty as an apostle.
However, as a result, the continent, which had been in endless war, was stabilized.
If you look at it that way, you can say that ‘the result was good’.
but.
“Because the results are good, doesn’t that mean there is nothing wrong with them?”
『…That’s right.”
Horus replied with a drooping look.
It seems like he blamed himself for his mistakes, but it doesn’t make sense.
“Wasn’t Valhalla also made with divine powers in the first place?”
『Yes, the new thing in the present is to maintain the “past”…”
“Look, we already have a problem.”
At my words, Horus bowed his head once again.
To sum it up, this is it.
Horus granted the first emperor’s wish even while violating the rules as an apostle.
But was there no price for that wish?
no that’s not it
Emperors do this after death, and it seems that they do not suffer any unreasonable treatment.
But gods are different.
As an apostle, doing something that became a problem for the “trial” was no different from abandoning one’s responsibility.
yes it hurts me
To me.
As soon as I looked at him with those eyes, Horus immediately hit his head.
“Sorry, Heir!”
The sight of the falcon saying that while slamming its head on the ground was truly bizarre.
“If you come and apologize now, what will you do? It already happened.”
“That is….”
“How was the original ordeal?”
『Originally, the goal of the ordeal was to completely rearrange the ruptured space-time within the tomb….]
What is that?
The difficulty level is too high.
There are only a few people in this world who can do that for granted.
Even 9th circle would be difficult with that?
Let’s look at me like I’m crazy.
『…sorry. The ordeal that was originally scheduled seems to be difficult.
』
“that…』
Horus once again bowed his head and expressed disrespect.
[Horus This is….]
Then Set intervened.
Horus’s head, which had already been in contact with the floor, plunged even lower at the appearance of the creature.
“You have no face. Set.”
Set looked at Horus with a complicated expression.
I want to say something, but now that I think about it, I don’t think I’m in a particularly proud position….
Should I say that expression?
‘…Come to think of it, most of the apostles I’ve met have felt this way.’
If you think about it, there are really not many types of apostles that I have met so far that have not made much noise.
If I had to think of it, would it be Apophis or Sebek?
They all worshiped gods, so they had a strong self-consciousness, which caused many problems.
“hmm.”
Ah, thinking that way, surprisingly, what Horus did began to feel normal.
I’ll turn, really.
Great Asar, why the hell are all the apostles like this?
The follow-up is all my responsibility.
I couldn’t help but complain like that.
“To sum it up, you used personal items to help the first emperor, and that’s why it’s difficult to transfer right away, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“So I thought about it a little more deeply….”
“Oh yes.”
Let’s listen.
Still, there is a possibility that a plausible plan will come out as much as the angel of the world has thought deeply….
『Somehow, the successor-sama is replacing the ordeal by solving the problem related to divine objects…』
“Um.”
I quietly smiled at the ‘deep policy’ that came out like that.
pop.
And at the same time, something in my head was disconnected.
No, this bitch is real.
* * *
『Kieeeek!』
The hawk with broken wings crashed in a pitiful manner.
There was no other main character who was truly tragic in the way he fell.
Of course, I had no intention of leaving it as is.
“Fuck really.”
My staff struck Horus’s beak with a beautiful curve.
No matter how beaten he was for not being an apostle, his beak remained firm.
“Hey hey! calm down!”
“young master! You’ve hit a lot already!”
The day he was about to hit Horus more, Lian and his butler desperately stopped him.
“No let go! Fuck that shit! Buy that and I! Oh hey! Let’s really catch a chicken today! I’ve been feeling low lately, but it’s been great!”
“It’s not a chicken, it’s an apostle. Mikhail!”
When it seemed like he couldn’t calm down, he rushed all the way to Ariandel to stop me this time.
And Eileen.
“I’m sick of paddles and poke!”
“…Are you drying it?”
Why did he naturally assimilate with me?
Whatever.
“after.”
After losing a bit, I felt relieved.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know the situation, and it wasn’t that there wasn’t a solution…It’s not that I don’t get annoyed just because I know.
I grabbed Horus’ tattered wings and lifted him up.
『Keeeee….”
“Calm down.”
I tuk-tuk patted Horus on the cheek to wake him up.
The boy opened his eyes and trembled.
“Just in case, if you pretend to pass out again there, you can actually throw it into boiling water.”
『…Yep.”
Horus nodded with a sullen voice.
Still, it can be said to be a good response.
First of all, you know what’s wrong.
Anyway, I went back to the conversation after properly restoring Horus through Ariandel.
“There is a way to solve your problem. To be honest, it’s not particularly difficult.”
“Am I really?”
“Yes.”
“Then why on earth….”
“Why did you hit it? The guy who caused the accident is going to negotiate, but from my point of view, wouldn’t it be disrespectful?”
Saying that, I sneaked up on the big, beautiful staff.
If you keep making words like that, you may end up being disrespected once more.
It was Horus who immediately closed his mouth as if my sincere appeal had been accepted.
After all, sincere appeals are destined to be eaten.
“Anyway, the solution to the problem you’re worried about is simple.”
“In a way….
”
It is true that the first emperor brought in his descendants and effectively countered the attacks of the enemy.
And it is also true that it requires divine power.
Originally, it is difficult to solve.
Isn’t that what time and space are? It is not an area that humans can touch in the first place.
But on the other hand….
‘There’s nothing I can’t touch if I’ve surpassed humans.’
It’s already happened.
It’s not going against time, and it’s not changing the future either.
Replacing fixed causal relationships with more ‘deterministic systems’.
“Is that possible?”
Horus asked me with a look of bewilderment.
『Isn’t what you are saying literally replacing ‘divine thing’ with magic? how is that….”
“I am the Great Mage, Horus.”
To be precise, he was a great mage who had reached his current level with magic.
Of course, it is meaningless to judge my magical knowledge based on common sense.
“If it’s magic, I’m the pinnacle.”
At my words, my colleagues started muttering in unison.
“Is that so? That’s right, were you a master mage? I mean sometimes I forget.”
“Iknow, right. Rather than being a great mage, it’s because he’s just going around beating everyone up like a street gangster.”
“Come to think of it, the young master has never used magic effectively…was there? I don’t know.”
“Hmm, the hero is definitely….”
no why
Why on earth would you die in such a useless place?
“Isn’t it because you guys are uneducated that you can’t recognize my magic?”
“You should start by wiping the blood on the staff before saying such bullshit.”
“….”
At Aileen’s words, I quietly turned my gaze to the staff.
I don’t really have anything to say.
…Whatever.
“can do. surely.”
“In that case, please…!]
Horus nodded urgently, probably because of the hope that he could rectify his mistake.
“First of all, there is one thing I need for that….”
『What do you want me to do?』
“The first emperor.”
『…!]
In a way, this is what caused Horus to escape from his duties as an apostle.
“It’s the cause of the problem, so shouldn’t we have an interview?”
As I expected, this too would be necessary.
* * *
Alexander the First Emperor.
He is the person who laid the foundation for a great empire, and is praised as the ‘Father of the State’ by the people of the current empire.
He pacified the continent that was filled with tribulation and defeated the foreign enemies to stabilize the continent.
In fact, the situation on the continent, which was like hell, stabilized in an instant with the appearance of Alexandro.
of course.
“…Are you saying there is someone I need to meet?”
Alexandro of ‘this time’ doesn’t know his own reputation. It was a busy situation to deal with the constantly pouring foreign enemies right now.
Now he was just a novice.
A mediocre mubu who struggles in the hellish present somehow, fearing an uncertain future.
And now, the great being who had shown him ‘hope’ was daring to ask for a favor.
“…What kind of being are you?”
What kind of person would he be if he asked to meet this great being?
It was hard for him to dare to think.
But at that moment.
『Uh, so….]
As if the great being Horus had remembered something terrible, he dug himself up and averted his gaze.
“Horus…?”
『It’s like a gem…It is a person.”
“Are you talking about a gem?”
[Yes.]
It’s a gem….
That must mean it’s great.
Somehow it bothered me that Horus was avoiding my gaze, but he thought no further.
He was not just a benefactor, but a person who gave hope to himself and the entire continent, but he seems to be deceiving himself….
It’s never easy to think like that.
He set aside his blasphemous thoughts and decided to accept Horus’ request.
In an instant, he moved to Valhalla, the space where he first met Horus.
“Uh um….”
And in the space moved like that, he was finally able to meet ‘him’ whom Horus had spoken of.
From the outside, I first think that he looks like a young man who grew up in a noble family.
Neatly managed golden hair and crimson eyes.
In one hand, he holds a staff filled with divine energy.
It bothered me a little that half of it was red, but I guess it doesn’t matter.
After a while, his mouth opened.
“Emperor Alexandro. Is that correct?”
“yes.”
He answered the young man’s words without hiding his nervousness.
“Things got a little messy. And the reason for the twist is that your stake is not small.”
“…ah.”
It wasn’t that there wasn’t a ‘reason’ that I could guess for that statement, so Alexandro put on a sad expression.
“The word that things got messed up….”
“There is a saying, don’t look into the abyss. The abyss will also look into you.”
He spoke slowly, as if he were saying what he had to say.
“You borrowed the power of the future to end the war on the continent. It’s fine until there. However, noise is a problem.”
“Is it noise?”
“Just as you tried to use the ‘possibility’ of the future, the future can also use that possibility.”
At that moment, Alexandro understood. At the same time, he felt a cold sweat run down his forehead.
“no way….”
“Yes, the problem is that there will be people who want to use this as much as there is a precedent.”
For example, the young man Mikhail, who had been talking behind his back, looked directly at Alexandro.
Eyes that know anything.
Those crimson eyes approached me so coldly at this moment that it gave me goosebumps.
And the next words followed.
“Like a god full of all sorts of malice toward mankind.”
“…!”
Alexandro opened his eyes.
