Chapter 345
I am not a returner Episode 345:
Black Sky (9)
“…What?”
I feel dizzy.
Nausea rises.
A strange feeling of foreignness spreads down your spine, as if you were encountering a mannequin modeled after yourself.
“Why are you so excited?”
The Heavenly Demon tilted his head as if he truly did not understand.
So calmly, so leisurely.
He said it as if it were obvious, as if he was reciting a mathematical formula.
“You feel the same way, right?”
“….”
“If I can protect my sister, it doesn’t matter what happens to other people, right?”
A ray of starlight that illuminated a life that seemed like a black sky.
Yes, Ha-eun was an irreplaceable and precious person to Oh Jin.
I don’t mind sacrificing everything else as long as I can protect her.
That’s what I thought.
That’s how I lived.
Misdiagnosis in my past life and misdiagnosis now.
“….”
Ojin kept his mouth shut.
Now I can be sure.
Only now was I able to say for sure.
“I… am different from you.”
Even if it’s the same misdiagnosis.
The times we have lived are different.
The events I have experienced are different.
The weight of the life held in one’s hands is different.
“I am not you.”
Oh Jin glared at Cheonma with sharp eyes.
The Cheonma chuckled as if wondering what he was talking about.
“No you are me. “No matter how different your life is, that doesn’t change.”
He shook his head and spoke quietly.
“Why did you ask why it was Vega earlier?”
“…Why is that?”
“You asked if I could eat another North Star instead of Vega, right?”
“….”
I was speechless.
What if Deneb or Polaris had to sacrifice instead of Vega?
Was he this angry?
Did it feel this unreasonable?
“Right now you’re just whining.”
Because I have something I want to protect other than Ha-eun.
He was just throwing a tantrum like a child.
“You know what’s most important, right?”
If only I could protect her.
If only I could save her.
It doesn’t matter what happens to everything else.
“…complaining?”
Just like he said.
I may be going overboard.
He may be acting unreasonably because he wants to protect not only Ha-eun, but also Vega, Isabella, Riak, and Cassia.
but.
“so?”
“what?”
“Why not be forceful?”
It doesn’t have to be just one thing that is precious.
There is no reason to throw away something else to protect one thing.
Life is not a mathematical formula.
Happiness cannot be calculated by adding and subtracting.
“Hmm. “It seems like you’re stubborn as expected.”
The Heavenly Demon stood up with a chuckle.
“Well, it doesn’t matter whether you force yourself or not.”
Vega will die.
You will also disappear.
“Now… it’s all over.”
The Heavenly Demon looked back at Vega performing her ministry with a relieved expression.
When stopped time flows again.
She will be swallowed up by the Dark Heaven, her entire sanctuary.
“Who wants it to end?”
Oh Jin’s expression became harshly distorted.
I couldn’t leave everyone to die like this.
‘We have to stop it.’
We had to save Vega before the Heavenly Demon’s Black Heaven swallowed her up.
The Cheonma shrugged her shoulders as she looked at Ojin, who was glaring fiercely.
“Do you think you can breach Vega’s sanctuary now?”
“….”
“Or should I try to persuade you with words?”
A bitter sneer appeared on the corner of the Heavenly Demon’s mouth.
No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won’t listen to Oh Jin.
“Because Vega thinks of you as a star in the sky.”
You will think that the only way to save the world is through misdiagnosis.
He would not hesitate to throw himself into the dark sky to protect Ojin.
“You have already become too precious to Vega.”
Just like he gave up his life to save Ha-eun.
Vega will also choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation if it is to save the Star of Reverse Heaven.
‘Because you tried to protect this world even by sending the Heavenly Demon back to the past.’
The Heavenly Demon smiled faintly as she looked at the star of Jiknyeo Castle burning brightly in the darkness.
As long as Vega knows that Ojin is a star in the sky, she will never stop.
Oh Jin chewed his lips and clenched his fists.
“I… am not a star in the sky.”
“At least Vega thinks of you as a star in the sky.”
The Heavenly Demon burst into laughter and continued speaking.
“You know that, right? “The truth doesn’t matter.”
The important thing is.
“Only what appears to be true is important.”
“….”
Know.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Because the life of a person named Kwon Oh-jin has always been full of lies.
“Do you think you can come now and tell Vega the truth?”
The Cheonma approached Oh Jin with a bitter sneer.
A lie is like a bird falling without wings.
You can’t stop or slow down along the way.
‘Until it hits the floor and shatters.’
The only way is to keep adding more lies.
Cheonma opened her mouth with her face close enough to touch Ojin’s forehead.
“You are me.”
so that.
It would be impossible to say.
You won’t be able to stop it.
It will be unstoppable.
“You… no, because we have lived like that.”
Because I didn’t know any other way than to live like that.
“Now it’s time to part ways.”
The Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly and turned around.
Oh Jin stared at his back, frozen in a daze.
“Still, it was quite fun to talk to you one last time.”
I burst into dry laughter and walked into the dark clouds.
“Take care of your sister.”
With that said, finally.
Time that had stopped began to flow again.
Wooooow!
Brilliantly burning silver.
Vega raised his body’s strength with his hands together as if praying.
[Ugh…!]
The restrictions of the law struck her, and a terrible pain followed.
[My… child.]
If only I could keep Ojin.
If only I could save the star in Yeokcheon.
This level of pain was nothing.
“….”
Ojin was frozen in a daze, looking at the brilliantly burning silver light.
If you just stay like this, all problems will be solved.
Although you will lose Vega.
Riak and Isabella Cassia disappear.
still.
‘My sister stays.’
Isn’t it okay as long as Ha-eun is safe anyway?
Whether the other person dies or disappears.
Isn’t it none of your business?
“ha ha ha.”
A dry laugh escaped between my lips.
Once the Heavenly Demon dies and all beings with the power of the Dark Heaven disappear, there is nothing to worry about after that.
Even if the monsters that have come to Earth are not misdiagnosed, other awakened people will take care of them.
There is no need to fight anymore.
There is no reason to struggle anymore.
It’s not worth suffering any more.
All I have to do is go home and live alone with Ha-eun.
Now that you don’t have to worry about money, it would be nice for the two of you to spend the rest of your life leisurely traveling to resorts around the world.
okay.
Just as the Heavenly Demon said.
It’s all over now.
“…don’t be a damn thing.”
Crack.
Grind your teeth and chew your lips.
Who wants to end the story on their own?
Wooooow!
I step towards the brilliantly burning silver light.
The body bounces as if blocked by a transparent wall.
The strong repulsive force tears the skin and blood flows out.
Again and again and again.
Repeat the same actions.
[Stop that!]
I saw Vega urgently turning towards me.
“You’re the one who has to stop, Vega.”
Ojin spoke in a low voice.
“Release the sanctuary.”
[That… must be difficult.]
“Solve it.”
[My child….]
Vega looked at Ojin with sad eyes.
It flew slowly towards Ojin while maintaining its sanctuary.
[My wife doesn’t want to be separated from you either.]
Tears form in her golden eyes.
I don’t want to break up with Ojin.
I know it’s shameless, but haven’t I just conveyed to him the feelings I’ve been keeping hidden in my heart?
I want to be together a little longer.
And if possible, I want to get Ha-eun’s approval like Isabella and become a little closer to him.
I want to glower in his warm embrace and whisper love like any other lover would.
but.
[Before she is a woman, she is the constellation of the North Star.]
The constellation has the duty to manage and protect this world.
We could not allow the Black Heaven to swallow up the star of the Heavenly Heaven, which would prevent the destruction of the world.
[Don’t you have a more important mission?]
“…Mission?”
Vega smiled slightly and nodded.
[Did you not once see the world being swallowed up by the Black Heaven?]
Ojin was a regressor who returned to the past through time.
[A returner who came back in time… Only you, who has a destiny of reverse heaven, can stop the dark heaven.]
“….”
[Don’t worry. Even if you don’t have a true wife, you will definitely be able to save the world.]
Salvation of the world.
A star in the sky.
regressor.
“Ah uh.”
Ohjin pursed his lips with a pale expression.
I wanted to deny it, but for some reason my voice didn’t come out.
-you… No, because we have lived like that.
The Heavenly Demon’s low voice echoed in my head.
It was as he said.
The truth was so bitter that I could only swallow it mixed with sweet lies.
“…Vega.”
[There is not much time left now.]
Vega turned to look at the approaching tsunami of black clouds.
[My child.]
With a faint smile.
[Be happy.]
Vega headed toward the dark sky.
“….”
Ojin stared blankly at her back as she walked away.
In my drugged, hazy consciousness, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
‘What should I tell my sister?’
What should I say to trick her without hurting her?
“…under.”
A dry laugh escaped from Ohjin’s lips at the question that came to him like instinct.
Again.
I think about lies again and again.
‘like this.’
As usual.
As always.
Do I have to live without being able to tell even a single bit of the truth?
Oh Jin’s expression twisted as if he was sick of it.
‘Why is it because we have lived like that?’
Although it is packaged nicely.
Aren’t they just cowards who are afraid to face the truth and try to ignore it at all costs?
If that were the life of a person named Kwon Oh-jin.
“Say fuck you.”
I put my hand on my left chest.
“He who passes by me….”
He utters a low incantation.
Grumble!
A black cloud spewed out from Ojin’s body as if it were exploding.
Blue natural flowers burned between the dark clouds.
“Hmph!”
Damn it!
I grabbed Vega’s sanctuary with both hands and opened it.
I felt the transparent wall blocking my path split.
[Am I my child? What is this…?]
Vega looked back at Ojin, who was covered in black clouds, with an expression filled with astonishment.
Ohjin walked towards her and opened his mouth quietly.
“no.”
[What do you mean it’s not? More than that, it’s….]
I’ve lived a life full of lies.
They denied the truth and only followed what seemed like the truth.
I didn’t know any other way to live other than that way.
No, I didn’t even try to find out.
“I…”
Now.
“I am not a regressor.”
I won’t live like that.
