I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 416:

War of the Stars (7)

“Cool luck…!”

Blood vomited down the throat.

Red blood spread across Moebius’ sickly white skin, like red paint splattered on pure white drawing paper.

Moebius raised the corners of his mouth as he looked down at the spear that pierced his chest.

“Indeed… it was an underestimation, not an overestimation.”

His body seemed to melt and become mushy and disappeared into the shadows.

“….”

silence.

Mobius disappeared into the shadows and did not reappear, and silence continued.

There is no sign of any presence or even a trace of magical power.

It was as if the very existence of ‘Mobius’ had disappeared from this world.

When there is such suffocating tension that you don’t know when it will explode.

“…!”

A vision of the ‘future’ flashed through my mind like a lightning bolt.

Ojin twirled the spear in his hand and slashed at his shadow without hesitation.

Ka-ang!

The sword rising from his shadow bounced and Mobius appeared again.

“Huh…”

He tilted his head, looking down at the sword in his hand as if he was surprised.

“How did you know to come out of Mr. Ojin’s shadow?”

“well?”

There is probably no reason to bring up the existence of ‘future poetry’ out loud.

“haha. I got hit twice in a row with this. “The constellation’s reputation is not true.”

“It will get more crumpled in the future.”

Ojin turned around, raising the strength of his stigmata.

Phew.

I let out a low breath and focused my mind on the stigmata.

The silver light that subtly covered the body gradually expanded and spread out.

The spread of the silver light halo has a radius of approximately 5 meters.

It wasn’t wide, but it fit perfectly within the window.

“The scope of the sanctuary has expanded significantly compared to what I saw before.”

“Because I practiced.”

“…That can’t be achieved by practicing, right?”

“It worked.”

He shrugged his shoulders and aimed the spear he was holding at Mobius.

A thunderbolt blazing around the blade of a spear.

Ojin turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards Moebius.

Rumbling!

As the spear and sword clashed, a thunderous roar rang out.

A tsunami of blue lightning burned the shadows and engulfed Mobius’ body.

“Hmph!”

Moebius, who slipped out of the thunderstorm, swung the white sword in his hand low.

It was an absurdly long distance for the sword to reach.

A long shadow cut in, aiming for Ojin’s side.

“They say a technique that works once doesn’t work?”

He swung his spear long enough to swat away the shadow blade and at the same time extended his arm forward.

The wires fired from the wire shooter wrapped around Moebius’ body.

Just before the lightning flowed through the wire, Mobius threw the sword in his hand towards Ojin.

Let’s go!

I managed to hit the sword that was fired at incredible speed with a spear.

“Here it is.”

Moebius’ body emerged from the ‘shadow’ of the thrown sword.

Ojin, who had just swung his spear and deflected the sword, was unable to react.

Mobius spun around and struck Ojin in the solar plexus with a back kick.

“Wow!”

A heavy shock penetrating the sanctuary.

My heart stopped beating for a moment, along with the pain of my internal organs being crushed.

Ojin jumped back and placed his hand on his left chest.

Squeeze!

An electric current was sent to the stopped heart.

As the shock shook my entire body, my heart, which had stopped moving, began to beat again.

“…hmm?”

Just because it was a misdiagnosis didn’t mean it was just suffering.

Mobius is looking at the leg that hit his solar plexus with a frown.

Before he knew it, silver wires were coiled like snakes around his legs.

Lightning flowing through a wire.

It was not the blue thunderbolt that Oh Jin had used so far.

Rather, it is a black thunderbolt that feels like a much more ferocious, ferocious and hungry beast.

A thunderbolt containing the power of the Black Sky tore through Mobius’ sanctuary and electrocuted his legs.

“Ugh…!”

No, should this really be called ‘electric shock’?

His leg, which had been hit by black lightning, was in a miserable state, as if the flesh had been dug into by a sharp hook.

“…is it a combination of the power of Lyra Stigmata and Black Heaven?”

Although it was a technique I had seen before when fighting in an abandoned factory.

As I was attacked directly with the main body rather than the artificial body, I could clearly see how absurd that black thunderbolt was.

It’s a technique that combines the power of the stigmata of Lyra and the power of the Black Sky.

“You have done something that not even a thousand demons could accomplish.”

Moebius shook his head as if he found it hard to believe.

“Cough… Cough!”

Ohjin, who had been hit in the solar plexus and flew backwards, stumbled upright, clutching his chest.

Although we exchanged arguments with each other once in a while, if you look at the bill, it could be said that the misdiagnosis side actually suffered a little more loss.

Ojin still hasn’t completely recovered from the shock that made his internal organs feel like they were shaken, but Mobius’ legs have already regained their original shape.

‘As expected, you can’t even deliver a proper blow unless it’s the heart.’

This didn’t just happen because Ojin’s attack was weaker.

Ultimately, what constitutes the essence of a constellation is the stigmata it carries.

In other words, as long as the heart with the stigmata was not destroyed, the body of the constellation would be infinitely restored no matter where it was destroyed.

Sanctuary could be used, but in the end, it was an unreasonable fight between humans and Ojin in the first place.

In order to catch up with this ‘disadvantage’.

[If you send a signal, the main woman will give you a blessing!]

The power of Vega, the same constellation, was needed.

[If it is the original woman’s blessing, it could cause a bigger blow to the author’s ministry.]

“Okay.”

Unless the constellation’s blessing lasted indefinitely, it needed to be used in a more optimal situation.

“It’s the constellation’s blessing…”

Moebius looked back at Vega, who was standing behind Ojin, with a bitter sneer on his lips.

“What do you think about the existence of constellations?”

“The existence of a constellation?”

It was a random question.

“Does that matter now?”

“Yes it is important. “A lot.”

Mobius nodded and continued speaking.

“The constellations give stigmata to humans and make them awakened. And he cherishes the awakened person who received his stigmata, calling him his ‘child.’”

“So what are you going to do?”

I was wondering what he was going to say, but he said he already knew everything.

“Does the Constellation truly think of the Awakened as its ‘child’?”

Moebius’ voice sank low.

“Should we shower our parents’ affection and love on our child, like a child born with a stomachache?”

“At least I never thought Vega’s love was lacking.”

If anything, it was too much.

The infinite affection that Vega gave her was literally worthy of being called ‘mother’.

“Hmm. “Vega’s case is definitely different from other constellations.”

[There is no difference between the original woman and other constellations.]

Vega continued speaking in a stern voice.

[Isn’t it natural for any constellation to pour infinite affection into their child?]

“It’s natural.”

Mobius’ shoulders shook.

“Mr. Oh Jin. Do you know why the Constellation began implanting stigmata on humans?”

“So that we can fight the demonic beasts that crossed the first crack…”

“No. “The reason for the crack is completely unrelated to the demonic beast that crossed over.”

Moebius continued chewing his words.

“The reason the Constellations bestowed stigmata on humans…”

His eyes turned to the Constellations gathered in the distance, watching the battlefield.

“Because they wanted to live.”

The reason the Constellation gave humans stigmata was because they ‘wanted to live’?

“What doesn’t that sound like?”

What does the Constellation’s granting of stigmata to humans have to do with their survival?

[You…]

“Don’t you know about the prophecy of Polaris? A prophecy that the Black Heaven will be born and devour all the stars in the world.”

[Shut up.]

“You seem to mistake this for ‘the end of the world’ or ‘the end of humanity.’”

Illusion…?

“What Polaris predicted was not the destruction of the world. “It was only a prediction of the destruction of the ‘constellations’.”

[I told you to shut your mouth!]

A prophecy about swallowing up all the stars in the world.

Certainly, considering the content of the prophecy, it had nothing to do with the destruction of ‘humans’.

‘No, wait a minute. ‘It doesn’t make sense.’

In his past life, as seen through Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories, didn’t not only the constellations but also humanity perish?

“The Black Sky swallowed not only the constellations but also humans.”

If only the constellations were what Black Heaven was aiming for.

Why did humanity perish along with the constellations in the past life?

“Hahahahaha!”

Mobius burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

“You still don’t know why?”

“How can you say you don’t know….”

[Yes, Innoom…!]

Aaaah!

The shadow rose up and pushed back Vega, who was flying towards Moebius.

“Because we gave you a ‘star’!”

Coo!

Moebius stamped his feet roughly and shouted as if screaming.

“To those of you who had nothing to do with star power! We do it ourselves! With our own hands! By our will! Because he gave me the ‘stigmata’!”

so that.

Heukcheon’s goal has moved from ‘constellations’ to ‘humans’.

“You may have heard that in the past, all the stars were eaten by the Black Sky once.”

“….”

I’ve heard it all before.

I have even seen its remnants in person.

“Didn’t you think it was strange?”

What does Moebius want to say?

It was vaguely predictable.

“Why aren’t there traces of past destruction left on Earth?”

All the stars… to be exact, all the constellations except Polaris were swallowed up by the Dark Sky and reborn.

Yet, no traces of such ‘destruction’ could be found anywhere on Earth.

Before, I vaguely thought it was something that happened in the distant past, before the Earth was even created.

now.

I could understand why.

“…Because it has never been destroyed.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Moebius smiled proudly, as if he was looking at a child who answered the correct answer on a workbook.

“It was not humans who were destroyed, but the constellations.”

The constellations who heard Polaris’ prophecy thought.

How can I survive in the hands of Black Heaven?

“So the way we came up with it was to find the ‘star in the sky.’”

A star in the reverse sky cannot be born from a constellation.

Because they were bound by the restrictions of the law, they could not use the power to directly defy time or change their fate.

The method they chose, tied to that fact.

“The most suitable creature to bear stigmata… The idea was to bestow stigmata on ‘humans.’”

Mobius twisted the corner of his mouth fiercely and spread his arms.

“in other words.”

Humanity.

“It was destroyed due to the selfishness of the Constellation.”
