If you were to unpack the contents of my declaration, then they went along the lines of “kill us, and you will definitely die, too”.
At first, the Constellations were agitated, then they began whispering among themselves, and finally, silence descended in their midst. Some stared at Agares, while the others, at Metatron. They were the holders of the highest authorities on this battlefield, but they simply maintained their silence with unreadable expressions on their faces.
However, even though no orders were issued, the clouds of war unexpectedly began churning slowly on the outskirts of the gathered masses.
[
“I wonder about that. It's hard to tell who is owing who here.”
My retort prompted the Constellations of
[You said that you're neither 'Good' nor 'Evil'. That also means you are both 'Good' and 'Evil', too.]
Nebula
[We will kill all those b*stards that have sided with 'Good', at the least!]
What a wise decision that was. The Chaos Points only rose up when 'Good' fought against 'Good' and likewise, when 'Evil' fought against 'Evil'.
[The Most Ancient Evil wishes for your elimination.]
[The Most Ancient Good wishes for your elimination.]
We were nothing more than viruses in this 'Great War of Saints and Demons'; hosts that interfered with a system that was operating normally to spread infections around.
With
Constellations burning in animosity towards each other only a few moments ago were now all redirecting their hostilities towards us.
Ku-gugugugu!
The expressions of my companions froze up. Yu Jung-Hyeok changed his attitude and spoke. “Kim Dok-Ja.”
He must've known it, too – even if
….If we clashed directly against them, then someone in our group would definitely die.
Suddenly, my perception sped up and time slowed down somewhat.
⸢Their advancing speed is quicker than I thought.⸥
⸢Too many Constellations came to their decision too quickly.⸥
⸢Maybe, I should've reached 80 in the Chaos Points first.⸥
Several sentences flitted in and out of my head.
I recalled the 'Ways of Survival'. Who should I ask for help if I were to emerge victorious from this situation?
My adopted parents in the
'The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven', who hadn't participated in the war yet?
Or, the Outer God-grade 'Secretive Plotter'?
Cheok Jun-Gyeong and the Constellations from the Korean Peninsula?
Even the faces of my teachers and Jang HYeong floated up to the fore, too.
Especially Jang HYeong; although I desperately needed help, I thought that it'd be for the best if she didn't show up.
['Fruit of Good and Evil' is stimulating your guilty conscience.]
Maybe, this could be my sense of responsibility. I hoped that Jang HYeong, born to this world because of me, wouldn't get swept up in the scenarios. My small wish that she'd get to live her own story in her own terms.
The reason why I didn't advise Jang HYeong to join
“Aaaahhhhk!”
The ranks of the Reincarnators meeting the enemies at the forefront were collapsing. They screamed as tsunami waves swept them up and tore them apart.
[Die!]
Han Su-Yeong looked at the Constellations and Demon Kings rushing at us while spouting trite remarks, and smiled nervously. “Looks like we're going to win. Those muttering such lines would die the quickest, you see.”
The corners of the companions' lips twitched energetically at her timely joke.
“Here they come.”
Their utterances might have been trite, but their Statuses were certainly not. 'Good and Evil' might have been the stalest of Fables in this world, but it was also one of the most powerful, as well.
The nervousness I felt through my skin was different from all the other battlefields I had experienced so far.
This was all for real.
