I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 344:

Black Sky (8)

“Now, relax your expression. “Because today is our last chance to talk to each other like this.”

The Cheonma came next to the frozen Ojin and lightly snapped his fingers.

Just right.

A chair was created in a space where there was nothing.

Ojin looked down at the chair created from nothing and muttered.

“…the space of the unconscious.”

“that’s right. “But this time, I invited you into my subconscious, not yours.”

Cheonma sat on a chair and relaxedly crossed her legs.

Oh Jin glared sharply at Cheonma, who was sitting on a chair.

“What do you mean today is the last chance to talk?”

“I mean it literally.”

Cheonma snapped his fingers to make coffee and took a leisurely sip.

“It’s all over now.”

The Heavenly Demon sighs with a somewhat relieved expression.

Eyes filled with fatigue turned to Ojin.

“It was long… too long.”

reminisce about the past

Ojin cannot remember the memories of a world that has already been destroyed.

The Heavenly Demon covered his face with his palm and laughed softly.

It was a sound of laughter that felt somewhat empty.

“You…”

Oh Jin’s expression became distorted.

“Was it your goal to destroy Vega?”

Now that it’s over, it means that the goal has been achieved.

In the current situation, the only thing he could think of as his goal was Vega’s extinction.

“To be precise, the purpose was to invite Vega to this place.”

“You spent decades pretending to be sealed for that?”

“There is no easier way to deceive others than by waiting.”

This is a known fact.

No matter how gifted a conman he was, the lies he just came up with were bound to be flimsy.

A perfect lie inevitably requires a long wait.

but.

“…You crazy guy!”

Holding on for that long time just for this one moment wasn’t the sane thing to do.

Oh Jin leisurely squeezed the collar of Cheonma, who was sitting on a chair.

“Vega did something to you that’s why you’re doing this!”

“I made a promise.”

promise?

“Send me back to the past, and in return, I want you to eat the star of Jiknyeo Castle.”

“…What kind of bullshit is that?”

Instead of sending the Heavenly Demon back to the past, he asked her to eat the star of Jiknyeo Castle?

Asking for the horse to eat it up is essentially the same as asking it to be killed.

My head heated up at the nonsense that was so far beyond common sense.

“The promise is to ask you to kill yourself in exchange for sending you back?”

“okay.”

“Don’t be damned, you bastard!”

I raised the hand that was grasping my collar.

So lightly.

The Heavenly Horse was dragged up like a doll with its strings cut.

Cheonma was grabbed by the collar and looked down at Ojin with eyes full of fatigue.

“When you touched my black sky, did you feel something different from your black sky?”

“…that.”

felt.

It’s a somewhat unstable and dangerous energy.

“I guess so. “The dark sky I have is ‘overflowing’ right now.”

“…What do you mean by overflowing?”

“Hmm. To put it simply, wouldn’t it be easier to understand if I said it was just before a runaway?”

The Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly and snapped his fingers.

A small water cup and a water bottle were made.

He picked up the water bottle and poured it into the glass.

The water in the small water cup overflowed and wet the floor.

“It’s like this.”

“…Are you saying you can’t withstand the power of the Black Sky?”

“Because unlike you, the ‘vessel’ itself was small to begin with.”

Cheonma with a self-deprecating smile.

Ojin frowned and placed his hand on his left chest.

There will be no fundamental difference between the Black Heaven that one possesses and the Black Heaven that the Heavenly Demon possesses.

Because it was the same ‘misdiagnosis’ for him and me.

Nevertheless, a difference was created between the two.

“…A star in the sky?”

“I knew it.”

I remember hearing this from Cassia.

In order to complete the Black Sky, you need the Star of the Black Sky.

“Isn’t it amazing? “That idiot has the power to change fate.”

The Heavenly Demon burst into laughter and shrugged his shoulders.

“…why.”

Ohjin looked at Cheonma, unable to understand.

“Why didn’t you absorb the Heavenly Star? “You went back to the past even more than Lee Shin-hyuk, right?”

“I am already a finished vessel, so there is no use in absorbing the stars of the heavenly sky.”

iced coffee.

so.

“Did you make me… absorb the star of the heavens?”

On behalf of myself who is already late.

To complete Heukcheon.

“Thanks to you, your Black Heaven was able to remain stable and not overflow, unlike my Black Heaven.”

“…What happens when the Black Sky goes into overdrive?”

“The world will be destroyed with only the desire to devour the stars. As before.”

…Previous?

“Have you never heard from Vega? “The constellations have already been destroyed by the Dark Sky once.”

“ah.”

I’m sure I’ve heard it before.

It is said that in the past, the constellations were once destroyed by the Black Heaven.

And the constellations including Vega are said to have been created after that.

“….”

Ojin kept his mouth shut and glared at Cheonma.

okay.

I understand that if the Dark Heaven of the Heavenly Demon runs rampant like this, we will all perish.

“So what does that have to do with killing Vega… Ah.”

Moment.

A shiver like a thunderbolt ran down Ojin’s spine.

The Heavenly Demon’s black water was overflowing out of the bowl.

What would happen if a waterfall called ‘Jiknyeo Castle’ poured into it?

if.

Won’t the ‘plate’ break as a whole?

“So…”

Why didn’t I notice this easy thing?

Why didn’t I notice this simple thing?

Oh Jin laughed and rubbed his face with his hand.

If the Black River runs wild, the world will be destroyed.

then.

Isn’t there only one answer?

“Are you saying you did this… to get behind me?”

The Heavenly Demon smiled brightly.

He opened his mouth in a voice as dry as the desert.

“If only I die, my sister will be happy.”

As if nothing was wrong.

As if it was nothing.

With a relieved smile on his lips.

He spoke of his own death.

“….”

A feeling of suffocation.

My legs were momentarily shaken by the torrent of distant emotions.

My stomach was pounding and I felt nauseous.

Even though they obviously had the same face on the outside, the Cheonma’s face felt extremely unfamiliar for some reason.

“What the hell are you…”

How broken and worn out a piece of human being is before you can say something like that.

“If the situation were reversed, you would have made the same choice.”

Cheonma burst out in laughter and tapped Ojin’s stiff shoulder.

“Because you are me.”

The life we have lived is different.

at last.

Because they are both people named Kwon Oh-jin.

“…So you’re telling me to let Vega die?”

Ohjin roughly slapped away the hand on his shoulder and glared at Cheonma.

He continued speaking, clenching his fists roughly.

“If you go after me, I will kill you, so leave Vega alone.”

“That’s not allowed.”

The Heavenly Demon shook his head softly.

“Even if you kill me, Black Heaven will continue to run wild.”

“…then.”

“In order to completely destroy the Black Heaven, there is no other way than to absorb the Orihime’s nature.”

“Why… why does it have to be Vega?”

If you want to destroy the Black Sky, isn’t there another North Star?

“Jiknyeo Castle has the ability to control the power of the dark sky. Haven’t you experienced it too? “You must have seen Jiknyeo Castle when using the stream.”

“….”

I definitely remembered seeing it.

The sight of Jiknyeo Castle shining brightly in the sky covered with dark clouds.

By using Gaecheon, I was able to come back to my senses by following the starlight in my blurred consciousness.

‘Then, was it because of Vega that I was able to use Gaecheon and be fine?’

Although there were no aftereffects.

There was no case where the Black Heaven ran rampant like the Heavenly Demon.

“Only with the Orignyeo Castle can the Black Sky avoid runaway and be destroyed.”

then.

Does this mean that the world can be saved only if Vega sacrifices himself?

“are you okay.”

“…what.”

What does it mean to be okay?

“If I die, there is no need to worry about the Black Star Constellation or the Demons.”

“What is that….”

“I prepared for everyone to die together when my black sky disappears.”

You prepared for us all to die together?

“You may not remember, but in my past life, the ‘satellite’ children also bullied my sister a lot. “Ah, since you inherited Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories, do you want to know?”

“wait for a sec. Then the reason you turned the satellite into a black star…”

Cheonma nodded with a chuckle.

“I took precautions in advance so that when I die, they too will die with me.”

“….”

Only then did Ojin understand the meaning of what Cheonma first said, ‘It’s all over now.’

When the Heavenly Demon dies, all beings who inherit his power die together.

There are no more threats, no more hardships.

Literally the end.

This is the ending of the story.

That’s how Ha-eun and Oh-jin lived happily ever after.

“Damn it…don’t do it.”

Ojin’s eyes trembled.

Wow.

He chewed his lips and struck the Cheonma’s cheek with his fist.

Bah!

The Heavenly Demon was thrown back and fell to the floor.

Oh Jin climbed on top of the Cheonma and swung his fist as if striking a hammer.

“Stop fucking with me, you bastard!”

You want me to just sit back and watch Vega get eaten by the Black Sky?

The world can be saved with just Vega’s sacrifice?

Haeun.

You can be happy?

“If Vega dies! Riak will die too! know?!”

Since the Holy Spirit inherited part of the Constellation’s soul, it was natural that Riak would die as well when the Constellation died.

“And what? Are you saying that all beings who received the power of the Black Sky will die together?”

The images of Isabella and Cassia complaining of pain while covering their ears came to mind.

“Then Isabella! What about Cassia?! “If you lose, you’ll die together, you crazy bastard!”

If all beings affected by the Black Sky die.

Isabella and Cassia, who received the stigmata from the Black Star Constellation, also could not avoid death.

“….”

The Cheonma, who was lying still and receiving a slap on the cheek, frowned.

Dry eyes turned to Ojin.

“I understand Cassia, but… Riak? Isabella?”

He muttered one by one the names that Ojin had just shouted.

He tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.

“Who are they?”

“….”

Ojin’s fist stopped abruptly.

A chilling shiver runs down my spine.

Cold sweat formed on my forehead and ran down my cheeks.

“who… “What?”

“I’ve heard of Riak, but I don’t know anything about Isabella.”

I have no choice but to know.

In her previous life, she would have been more famous with the title ‘Blood Witch’ rather than the name Isabella.

“Well, anyway.”

The Heavenly Demon shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking calmly.

“What does it matter?”

“What does it matter…”

“Whether they die or not is none of your business.”

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

The Cheonma stood up, smiled brightly, and placed a hand on Ojin’s shoulder.

“You don’t mind if everyone but your sister dies, right?”

As if nothing was wrong.

As if it was nothing.

Like when he talked about his own death.

He spoke of death so calmly.
