I’m not a Regressor

I am not a regressor Episode 405:

Summoning Order (5)

“…What does that mean now?”

A voice that was as cold as frost.

Allen continued, glaring at Alina Vladimir with cold eyes.

“Alina, I’m sure you know very well how many people are currently being held captive by Mobius.”

Although it wasn’t included in the video Olivia played yet.

Everyone gathered here, no, people from all over the world must have watched live the images of people being held captive by Mobius.

“Most of them are ordinary people who have not even been given the stigmata.”

Is that all?

Among the hostages captured in the video, there was even a child who appeared to be no older than 10 years old.

Even after seeing that shocking video full of terrible screams and wailing, how can they say that they ‘do not intervene in any way’?

“Are you sure you couldn’t see the video?”

“no. Of course I saw it.”

“Then how could that be…!”

“I’m saying this because I saw the video.”

Alina continued speaking with a calm expression.

“Mobius took the hostages and told them to come to Rome if they wanted to save them. “No matter how you look at it, isn’t it an enemy trap?”

“That’s…”

“We can’t send our precious unit members to a battlefield that is clearly a trap.”

He shook his head with a stern look in his eyes, as if compromise was impossible.

“The lives of our unit members are as precious to me as the lives of the captured hostages. “We cannot force them to die in vain.”

“A vain death…! “Is saving people in vain?”

“I want to say that sacrifice cannot be forced in the face of humanity and morality.”

We cannot be forced to make sacrifices in the face of humanity and morality.

Alina’s argument also made sense.

A being who destroyed a city in the blink of an eye proudly issued a provocation against the entire world, but to meekly accept that provocation was, in some ways, reckless.

“…Would you say that even if it happened inside Russia or China?”

Allen asked, looking at Alina with sharp eyes.

Alina shook her head in a blunt manner without any change in her expression.

“If something happened within the alliance, it would be right to send the military.”

“In other words, since the incident occurred in Italy, the Alliance will not be involved?”

“Is there any reason to get involved on the contrary? “This is a problem that must be resolved within the European Union.”

“under.”

Allen glared at Alina with contemptuous eyes.

Despite the appearance of a clear ‘enemy’ of humanity, the Constellation of Demonic Beasts and Black Stars.

Humans confine each other within the framework of the nation and dismiss it as ‘other people’s business.’

As it was in the past.

Public utility always bows down to individual desires.

[It’s pathetic.]

A voice echoes softly in the conference room.

The boy’s voice, with a somewhat youthful feeling, echoed directly in the minds of the awakened people.

Outside the conference room with a round table.

A boy walked out from behind the pillar supporting the temple.

A boy who wears treasures whose value we cannot even guess, like clothes, all over his body.

Deneb, the constellation of Cygnus, glared at Alina with a cold gaze.

[Why do you think I gave you humans the stigmata?]

Deneb continued speaking as she glanced at the awakened people sitting at the round table.

[The stigmata were given to us to save humanity and protect the world on behalf of those of us who are bound by the restrictions of the law and cannot move freely.]

But.

[Why are we all gathered here now and saying that we won’t get involved because it’s another country’s business? Huh?]

Driven by the constellation’s emotions, the magical power of the stigmata spread throughout the conference hall.

A frosty wind blew inside the conference hall, which was filled with gentle warmth like a spring breeze.

The pink wall froze and white frost settled on the floor.

An extreme cold that seemed to freeze even the exhaled breath pressed upon the awakened people.

“Wow…”

Olivia clutched her neck as if in pain at the overwhelming presence coming from Deneb.

Deneb took a step toward Alina without even looking at Olivia, who was complaining of pain.

[Are we now splitting sides?]

When the waves of white frost began to spread out in all directions along with the angry constellations.

[Stop it.]

Silver energy blocking the frost.

The energy emanating from Vega calmed the frosty wind that was swirling in the conference hall.

Deneb twisted her face fiercely and glared at Vega.

[Why are you blocking it?]

[Isn’t our role to watch over children so that they can find their own way?]

[Now is the time…!]

[Or. Are you going to ignore the children’s will and force them to follow?]

Vega stared at Deneb with deeply sunken eyes.

Deneb’s body trembled.

[A constellation is a leader who cares for children like a parent and gives them direction to go down the right path, not a ruler who grabs children by their hair and forces them to follow.] [Well, I know

that, but…]

[Then, a little more. Trust the children and watch quietly.]

[….]

Deneb bit her lip.

[I also agree with what Vega said.]

[Hahaha! Don’t worry, our children will find a wise answer!]

Regulus, the constellation in Leo, and Aldeberand, the constellation in Taurus.

[I don’t think this is the place for the Constellation to step forward.]

[Yes, yes! The promise I made when lending my temple was that I would not directly participate in the meeting!]

Aris, the constellation of Aries, and Spica, the constellation of Virgo, also added a word from the side.

[Okay. Okay.]

Deneb sighed and stepped back as if there was nothing he could do.

“…Then can we proceed with the meeting?”

Olivia, who was clutching her neck and complaining of pain, looked back at the constellations while breathing heavily.

The constellations nodded and glanced at Alina and Allen.

Alina let out a short sigh and opened her mouth.

“Just because we are, that doesn’t mean we aren’t worried about the people captured by Moebius.”

but.

“Even so, I cannot send my men to a battlefield where the enemy’s trap is clearly evident.”

“I think the same as her.”

A blond man with a grave look who was sitting next to me raised his hand.

Yogwangseong Edward Walton.

He was a Sagittarius awakened person and a businessman ranked among the top five conglomerates in the world.

“It may be possible to send relief supplies, but it seems difficult to send mercenaries. “Even if you are a mercenary who follows money, who would go if you were told to go to a dangerous place?”

“Even Mr. Edward…”

Allen chewed his lip with a nervous expression.

“I vote for Mr. Allen’s opinion.”

A green-haired woman who was listening to the meeting with her arms crossed raised her hand.

Green Rebekah Bell.

He was an awakened person with the stigmata of Gemini and the fastest awakened person to reach 9 stars, excluding Ojin.

“What was the thing we emphasized most when selecting Chilseong’s candidate? “Didn’t you feel like reaching out to the powerless?”

The name ‘Chilseong’ was not something that could be obtained simply by having strong power.

A person who can take responsibility commensurate with his/her power.

Wasn’t the reason they took the test by deceiving the prominent candidates who participated to become Chilseong to find a talent who could take on such responsibility?

“Even if everyone else turns their backs on them, you, who bear the name of Chilseong, should not do the same.”

Rebecca erased her usual playful expression and cheerful smile and looked at Alina and Edward with serious eyes.

“me too! “I want to help Allen too!”

Cheon Kwon-seong Baek Moo-gang raised his hand with a simple smile.

“Well, I’m against it. As the military lady said, it’s being advertised as a trap, but what if you blindly go there and the awakened people end up dying in droves? “Then what do you do after that?”

Jade Fortress Bianca Bennett shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

Allen opened his mouth, glaring at Bianca.

“…Wasn’t Bianca from the same UK?”

“When did you say it has nothing to do with the country?”

Bianca twirled her fingers through her curly blonde hair and shrugged as if she wasn’t interested.

Ohjin frowned as he stared at the meeting that did not interlock like parallel lines.

‘Is it 3 to 3?’

If he took Allen’s side here, he would have a majority of 4 to 3, but this was not a class president election, and even if he had a majority, he could not force the opposition, including Alina, into the war.

‘Both sides are not without logic.’

Allen emphasizes humanity and morality and his responsibility as a Chilseong.

On the other hand, Alina emphasizes rational choices by emphasizing risks and practical benefits.

It was a situation where neither of them could just say that the other was ‘wrong.’

‘That’s why opinions were divided in half, as if they were plotting against each other.’

Ojin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Seven Stars, who were divided in half and began raising their voices at each other.

A thought passed through my head.

‘Is this what he was aiming for?’

Chilseong and other awakened people are divided and confront each other.

Conflicts over humanity, utility, morality, and selfishness.

As always.

Just like it has been all along.

Conflicting, opposing, hating and resenting each other.

“…under.”

A smile escaped Ojin’s lips.

In fact, the story of Moebius, who could be said to be the culprit of this incident, did not even come out of the mouths of the awakened people.

They are just busy pushing each other away, hiding behind the solid wall of logic.

‘If this is what you wanted.’

That wall of logic.

You have no choice but to destroy it with your own hands.

“Two days after the Italian raid, the awakened members of the European Union gathered around Mungok Castle head to the battlefield to recapture Rome.”

The eyes of the Seven Stars, who were raising their voices at each other, turned to Ojin.

“What is that…”

“Due to the overwhelming power difference, the recapture operation failed and Mobius quietly disappeared.”

“What are you talking about?”

“A similar thing happens in Moscow exactly 36 days after the failed operation.”

He continued speaking, ignoring the awakened people who were looking at him with expressions asking what kind of nonsense he was talking about.

“The awakened people in the European Union poured out criticism, saying they knew this would happen, and China ended its alliance with Russia and deployed military units made up of awakened people in each city.”

“Are you writing a novel?”

Alina Vladimir laughed and glared at Ojin.

“67 days later, on the 100th day, Korea will be attacked. Here, the Seven Stars gather once again to propose resolving their previous debt and creating a world union, but it fails.”

“….”

“The United States falls on the 152nd day, and the United Kingdom falls on the 218th day. The damage grows out of control, and Mobius uses the bodies of the dead awakened people to create a new army.”

and.

“Exactly one year after the raid on Rome. “There will no longer be any countries on this Earth that can be called ‘nations.’”

With those words, Oh Jin kept his mouth shut, as if he had said everything he wanted to say.

An awkward silence filled the conference room.

“…I heard what you said.”

It was Alina Vladimir who broke the silence.

The blue pupils staring at Ojin were as cold as ice.

“I have to ask this question first before asking any other questions.”

Alina glared at Ojin with eyes that showed even subtle anger.

“Why are you talking as if you know everything that will happen in the future?”

“Because I know.”

“yes?”

Ojin took a deep breath and looked around at each of the awakened people sitting around the round table.

Phew.

Exhaling the breath that had filled my lungs.

“I am a regressor.”

The ‘truth’ that had been hidden until now was revealed.
