Chapter 249: Rimuru vs Yuuki pt3

I must now consider that it is impossible to understand this idiot.

He wanted to destroy the world because he had an unhappy childhood or something, it was incomprehensible.

Yuuki wasn't the only one who suffered misfortune as a child.

Not everyone is happy, many people have to overcome their misfortunes and grow into great people.

My life may be on the happier side, so I'm not sure I can answer if asked if I really understand the poor person's feelings.

However, I can determine that it is clearly wrong to involve others just because you are unhappy.

People are not the same.

With the system established in the world, we can try within limits to treat each other fairly, but we also cannot deny the difference in abilities that are possessed from birth.

Thinking of it that way, it became clear that a world where everyone could live with equality, peace, and happiness could only exist in fantasy.

So, if you say that this world is incomplete, well, that would be true.

Even Velda, who had tried to create a fully supervised society; he was nothing more than a fool who could not understand what Veldanava ideals were.

But even more than that, Yuuki's idea that it would be better to destroy everything and end it all is very naive and juvenile.

He will not be responsible for himself. He is careless and will not admit opinions other than his own.

In the end, Yuuki is a fool that I will never be able to understand.

The world is cruel, but it offers everything for you.

It was the world that Veldanava had created.

Alone in that void space, he had held back his silence.

So he gave birth to this world to distract him from his boredom.

In this world, life is born. Beings that can act freely and make their will known, as Veldanava intended.

After many years, man was born as a vessel of the soul, with free will and high intelligence.

Veldanava was very happy.

He was bored in the world of nothingness. Witnessing the activity of living beings is quite pleasant, but the activity of these so-called human beings emotionally moves on to him.

However, there is a problem.

The humans who have attained this knowledge, they begin to stimulate each other and eventually act in ways that are not anticipated.

If he left them alone, they would immediately start fighting and start walking on the path of destruction.

He had created several different worlds, yet all of them showed the same tendency in the end.

The reason for this is emotion.

It was something he gave as a means to me people and help them grow more, but emotions that became too extreme had a tendency to want to erase the opinions of others.

Different types of justice are born through different ways of thinking.

That's what Veldanava thinks.

He decided that this phenomenon was a necessary evil, and therefore he accepted the way of the world as a place of test for the soul.

Quarrels are likely to stop if humans are fully monitored.

However, their emotions are no longer in, and the world will turn into a dystopia that may be the same, but has no free will.

And that's not the kind of world Veldanava wants.

He experimented several times after that, trying to encourage humans to grow the way he wanted.

Several parallel worlds exist with small details that change in each, allowing them to evolve in different ways.

In this system, humans with very mature souls are chosen to rule souls with shorter lifespans. Then angels and demons were born.

The system has been built so that souls of all dimensions will circulate.

Observers were limited to how much they could intervene, and were ordered to prevent the bottom of the world from falling apart.

They are Guy, Ramiris, Dino, and others like them.

Since there was very little mana in the world where I was originally, I had never witnessed anything spiritual, but there might also be guards there.

Well, nothing matters now.

Anyway, the system construction is complete.

The giant massacres that appeared irregularly were completed, and the world was now stable.

Just when everything started to move well, the wheel of fate began to spin.

Veldanava meets Lucia and falls in love.

And the two loved each other, and Milim was born.

When this happens, Veldanava loses all of its power, and I can speculate that this has something to do with the binding force of the world.

This reaction we call the power – system built, has decided that the existence of Lucia is a malicious one.

According to the system, God's love must be shared fairly.

Then Veldanava's love for a particular individual must have caused a mistake.

In the end, the price to pay to repair the tears in the system is the lives of Veldanava and Lucia.

Velda's idea of punishing a system that has destroyed its own creator is not impossible to understand. However, it was still a selfish desire and against Veldanava's will.

In the end, Veldanava has loved this world, and he wants Milim, who is his daughter, to live.

The fact that he had sacrificed himself for the system was proof of this.

–Even if he lost all of his abilities, it was still impossible for someone who was a god to be killed by humans.

But Velda did not understand this.

And that's why he teamed up with Yuuki and tried to destroy the world.

◇◇◇

I opened my eyes a little.

The last fight with Yuuki has begun, and–

[Are you awake now?]

Ah, Ciel is talking to me. But where are we?

And what happened to Veldora?

[It's the world at the end. Or you might also call it the End of Space-time. Veldora has been isolated in 'Imaginary Space. “So she is completely safe and nothing to worry about. ]

I see, so Veldora is safe.

That's nice ... uh, huh? This was just a vast world with nothing, but, did he say 'End of Time-Spaces'? Indeed, time does not flow and is suspended here. And I can't detect the spread of space either …

[Yes . The flow of time has stopped in this world. And the spread of space has also ended, and has become nothingness according to the law of entropy. ]

Did ya? You talk about it as if you have observed it happening?

[Indeed . We have been catapulted to the end of Space-time through Yuuki's attack. The star has surpassed its age, but the world has not been destroyed. Judging from this, Yuuki definitely could not destroy the world itself. I speculate that after destroying all the stars as a space-time continuum, his lifespan has come to an end. However, I cannot determine if his wish has been fulfilled through this. After that, I drifted into space, and witnessed the end of the universe. ]

–I can't understand what Ciel actually said …

Did he see the end of the world? What does that mean …?

I mean, there's no way you can stay alive in a situation like this.

There are many more believable lies to tell – but then I remember, Ciel did not lie.

Sometimes, I was fooled by him, but it was not because he was lying, but that I had misunderstood about him – or he made me – that's all.

Then, then we really are in the world in the end !?

[Yes that's true . So, what are you going to do now?]

What am I gonna do?

[Since so much time has passed, there is a large amount of energy from the 'Turn Null' that has been stored. Veldanava seems to have lost the 'Turn Null' while creating the world, but you still have the 'Imaginary Space', so there should be no problem. Since the 'Imaginary Room' was boundless, it had not become full, but had been filled with enough energy to rebuild the world tens of thousands of times over. If I can add, this means that you can replicate every person you've ever been involved with including their memories, you can create a world as close to the world you left behind as possible. What are you going to do?]

What …

I was surprised by that question.

Aye . If this really is the 'End of Space-time', then it means Benimaru, Shuna, Tempest, and their friends, Diablo and the demons, Guy and Ramiris and Milim, respectively, everything I love is nowhere in this world. I finally understood that.

In other words, I lost against Yuuki.

"Damn!! Damn, this means that I have really lost Yuuki !! ”

[No, it's wrong. Yuuki can't destroy you. ]

But I cannot protect those I love.

Then it's no use. There is no point if I am the only survivor.

And even if their memories and DNA can be recreated exactly the same, is it still really them?

Can I interact with them in the same way I make them with my own hands !?

That's bullshit, damn it !!

“Such things will only be fake! We can make excuses, but I still lose to Yuuki .. ”

Logically, Ciel thought that I should create a new world without the heretic that is Yuuki.

Indeed, that might be the right answer.

You could say there's nothing wrong with that.

But it wasn't enough to fill me up.

How can I raise up my dead friends in such a way just to heal my own loneliness? I'd rather die than do something like that.

I know that I am stubborn.

But that's also why I can't allow myself to just create a world that's comfortable for me.

In such a world, the existence that is on me will most likely rot and die.

It is better to choose arrogant loneliness than to defend the past just to entertain yourself.

[I hope you will answer this way. ]

I shouted furiously, but Ciel replied as if he was happy.

And then he continued.

[Also, you haven't been defeated by Yuuki. You just have to go and beat him now. ]

Ciel offered as if it was nothing.

Go and hit him now? Back to a long lost past?

Is such a thing possible …

Chloe has a Time Leap that can read memories from the future, but it's really just an ability that allows you to go back to your past.

And it cannot be activated when time has stopped.

Yuuki had carefully planned to block such an escape route when he stopped time.

I'm stunned.

No wonder Ciel acted so normally even though I was angry.

From the beginning, he knew what I wanted.

"Then, let's go and quickly dispose of the idiot. You know that, right? I hate losing! ”

[As far as you are, my lord. ]

Ciel answered my order.

In the same easy way as always. It's business as usual.

But I just woke up, Ciel had lived through countless thousands of years as he waited for me to wake up.

There was an undeniable joy in the voice that answered my orders.

To answer his expectations, I had to choose a world that felt right for me.

Defeat is not an option.

Then it's time I finish this.

At the same time I thought about this, my time warped back to the past.

◇◇◇

I immediately felt that I was in a different place.

At the same time, I could also feel that a bundle of energy big enough to destroy the world was heading straight towards me.

But instead of panicking, I swallowed the entire explosion.

Very delicious.

It seems that it allows me to recover what energy has been depleted with warp time.

"Who are you!?"

A startled shout came from Yuuki, who was standing behind me.

Well, I had planned to return to the same point where I disappeared, but it seems that some time has passed.

Oh well, it's still approaching the right time that can't even be called a little deviation in the grand scheme of things. And it was also my first time.

After all, from what I can observe, there is not a single person here who has sustained any injuries.

"… Is that you, Rimuru?"

A beautiful woman with rainbow-colored hair asked hesitantly.

Who wants to know !? I can only say.

However, judging from the slightly dizzy air, I realized that this person might be Ramiris.

"Are you Ramiris? So you're an adult? "

"Oh— !! Stupid-diot-idiot— !! We are very worried about you !! ”

“I-it's right! Hiding so you can scare us like this, what a rotten personality. Your presence has completely disappeared from this world, and we all believe that you have been fascinated into the future !! ”

“You casually canceled our greatest weapon ... Also, what's with this appearance? You seem to have grown up since a while ago? ”

Although it did not seem like much time had passed, they were still very worried about my departure.

Also, it seems that the energy I just ate is something that Guy and the others have used all their strength to unleash onto Yuuki. On the one hand, I feel a bit bad for them, but it is also true that something so weak might just make Yuuki stronger. That's not a big deal.

But more importantly, what about my appearance?

I think when I look down on myself. Then I realized that I had grown into an adult.

I also have no manhood or manhood, so if I am asked if this growth means anything, yes, I have to say no.

I know that Ciel has been creating energy all along, so it's likely an effect of that.

“Well, who cares about such trivial problems. We are not finished fighting. I need to rid this man of his misery. So with that, give me a minute. ”

I told them before turning to face Yuuki.

Guy didn't say anything. His sword was covered and his arm folded.

"People?"

“I think Rimuru won't lose, no matter how you look at it. This is a real checkmate. ”

Guy answered Ramiris and shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey, those lines are flags ... but then again, there doesn't seem to be much room for a flag …"

Ramiris murmuring.

Afterwards in a calmer voice, he muttered about the difficulty of returning to his original form. He looks sad. It might be a good thing to do something to cheer her up later.

Maybe Diablo believed that I would come back because he had a satisfied expression on his face as if he thought it was the most normal thing. Despite her expression when she looked at me a little charmed. Can I go back to my original self? I'm a little worried.

Chloe looked like she was about to cry, but just like Guy, she she sheathed her sword and decided to keep an eye on the fight. He has to trust me. Don't worry, I won't let you down.

Feeling the support of everyone on my back, I pushed out my katana towards Yuuki.

“Now, let's finish this. I played along with your childish game for quite a long time. Don't you think it's time to rest? ”

"Imust be!? Rimuru, you should really be shot to the 'end of space-time' !! ”

Yuuki's eyes reddened as he shouted as if he was unwilling to admit that this was real.

I understand how he feels.

But he actually picked the wrong person for her to mess with.

If he was against someone else, he might have a chance to win.

“Oh, I got shot well. I fell into your plans because my friend was busy analyzing primitive magic. That's pretty impressive for you. But unfortunately, it won't be effective for me. ”

I told Yuuki as if it was nothing.

[I was so hurt that you blamed me for falling into a trap. However, it is true that I am interested in primitive magic. It makes me angry, but I won't deny it. ]

Ciel said without much entertainment but a lot of hatred. I decided to ignore it.

In general, I am not wrong.

"No way, no. .. Jump time …? And with complete form, to the desired place ... From .. 'end of space-time' you say …? It is impossible ... No, there is no way someone who can do such a thing there ... It will make you like a transcendent God— ”

Yuuki continued to mutter in this tone.

You could see that he was desperate to deny the reality of the situation.

Then-then

Suddenly, he put all his strength behind the sword and slashed at me.

There was no need for me to dodge, instead, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed his sword.

The blade that was swinging at god-like speed was now tucked between my thumb and index finger. It was completely silent.

I glanced at the stunned Yuuki, then I let go of a light kick.

Being at the receiving end, Yuuki dropped his sword – Veldanava, and flew backwards.

While he was still alive, he had likely lost half of his ability to fight.

This is because I have extracted the negative energy from the 'Turn Null' which hinders your life support, and incorporated it into the kick.

Yuuki cleared his throat before looking at me with a dumbfounded expression.

"You, what the fuck are you— !?"

There was shock and confusion on his face as he shouted towards me.

I laughed when I heard this.

Yuuki's like a funny caricature.

He was stupid, and all I could do was laugh.

Mikami Satoru.

Hurricane Rimuru.

– Or does he maybe think that I am Veldanava?

Me? Who am I, you ask?

Such a thing is obvious.

My name is—–

A flash.

A dazzling level of light suddenly gushed out throughout the area.

And then a terrifying ominous air that was a color of shadow began to flow from my body as if swallowing light.

Streams of light gently enveloped Ramiris, Milim and my other friends. Heal all their wounds, and protect them from the evil air of evil.

As for anyone who is not protected by the light – as for Yuuki …

“Stop, don't come any closer! World . I wanted-"

He seemed to struggle with all his strength, but his body deteriorated without him being able to do anything.

"Redent . You're too far away. If you do something wrong, you have to repent, right? Repenting from the way you are is the most you can do. In the 'Imaginary Room' within me, you can think of your selfishness and immaturity. That's how far I allow you to go. ”

I coldly stated.

Yuuki kept fighting until the end, but everything was in vain.

He had transferred all of his abilities to the Veldanava Sword, and there was almost nothing he could do at the moment.

–No, don't lock me. Like this, not like this …

–Yuuki, is this because I cannot lead you to the end? Really, son. I'd like to know if you'll ever stop bothering.

-Mastering…? So, so that's .. You're here too, sir …

- Yeah . I'll repent with you here. You will not be alone.

- I understand . But, where will—

With those last words, Yuuki's consciousness disappeared completely.

I've thrown it into 'Imaginary Space. '

Escape is impossible until I die — well, even after I die — he will never be free again.

From the beginning, I wasn't even sure if I had another age …

After all, the one who spoke to Yuuki was finally–

If that was true, then this might not be a punishment for Yuuki, but in reality, a kind of release.

I started thinking when I allowed myself to enjoy that kind of sentimentality.

And that's how the final battle ended in my victory.
