The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 189



Chapter 189 – The Last? – 2

“What do you mean ‘maybe’?”

Not only I, but also the four of us who were listening next to me were clearly flustered by the ambiguous choice of words. There was no way Leona could not recognize the goddess’s voice.

Moreover, who else but the goddess could speak to Leona with the Holy Sword?

“I’m not sure either. It’s definitely the voice of the goddess… … but sometimes I feel like it’s not, and sometimes I feel like I can hear the voice more than I can hear. I hope it’s just my imagination… … .”

Unfortunately, in most cases like that, it wasn’t because of my mood. I looked down at the holy sword with a complicated look. I thought everything was over, but what happened again?

‘It seems like I can hear the voice more… … .’

At least I hoped it wasn’t for the reasons I was guessing.

“Okay, I understand. You said you were looking for me, right? I’ll ask you what happened.”

“Yeah. Here’s the holy sword.”

I took hold of the holy sword and concentrated my mind. My consciousness seemed to sink somewhere, then floated back up to the surface. It felt different from the last time I held the holy sword and had a conversation.

Immediately afterwards, a noisy voice was heard.

‘… … It’s noisy?’

In a normal situation, that wouldn’t have happened. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, feeling something strange, two completely different voices began to bicker with each other.

-It’s narrow, Sister. Would you please step aside? This is my role.

-You say it’s narrow when there’s only a voice anyway, the jokes have gotten worse.

“… … .”

A familiar voice, exactly as I was guessing.

It was a goddess and a demon.

There was a reason why Leona added the word, perhaps. For some reason, it was bound to be confusing since the Holy Sword was imbued with a demon. It seemed like she hadn’t even properly revealed her true identity.

I don’t know why he’s leaving his own territory to bicker with his younger brother in the Holy Sword.

-Isn’t this a metaphor for telling me to back off quickly? Are you so low-intelligenced that you can’t even understand something like this, Sister?

-I know. I was joking too. And even if it is narrow, are you saying that you can’t make that much concession to your only sister?

-Aren’t I also your only sibling? This is also a sword I made. If I had properly guarded the Demon Sword, then- A special person?!

A sound like “kkutangtang” echoed in my head.

I quietly held my forehead as I saw that it was not only exactly as I had expected, but also went a step further. Was it because Aria was gone that he was acting like that, or was it because his personality was like that from the beginning?

Considering that the two of them bickered even when only one thought remained, it seemed most likely that it was both.

-It’s an honor to meet you again, special human being.

-You did a great job getting rid of that woman. I salute you.

It didn’t take long for the gods who had disappeared far away while arguing over who was at fault and who was at fault to return. A voice even more solemn than before rang out in my head.

If I were to just listen to this voice right now, it would literally be worthy of being called a god, but it would be too late. I heard exactly what he was doing just a moment ago, so I would feel a lot of respect.

“I guess you two are doing pretty well now that work is done.”

At my words, the two gods fell silent, and the eyes of those watching from the side collectively stirred. You must be wondering what on earth it is.

The silence continued for quite some time. Unable to stay still, I continued speaking.

“What were you two doing that you didn’t even notice that I was holding the Holy Sword?”

-… … It’s nothing.

-… … It’s nothing.

“Of course you would. It would be a sight that humans would not want to see gods arguing childishly with each other. I completely understand.”

The commotion next door grew louder.

-If you’ve already seen it, why did you ask?

-That’s right! It’s lethal!

“I tested how you would respond in a situation where it was obvious you would be caught. Your behavior was befitting of your status as gods. You are both truly amazing.”

The god and the goddess were silent at the same time. It seemed that they knew that their current actions were ugly. How could two gods have such personalities?

‘It may have been the right choice to completely separate my emotions, just like when I created my clone.’

It seemed like the goddess had separated her emotions for a reason. If the original had that kind of personality, then it would only be a nuisance.

“Anyway, Leona said that the goddess was looking for me.”

Let’s stop teasing and get to the point. If they’re looking for me first, it’s not an ordinary thing. I don’t know what’s going on, so I’ll take care of business first.

-That’s right. A special person.

-It’s very important. For you and for us.

“It doesn’t seem that important because of what you were doing just now… … But let me hear it anyway. What is it?”

The goddess and the demon flinched at the same time as if they had been caught off guard, and they tried to control their voices before opening their mouths.

-The world is still unstable.

-There are quite a few unstable areas. If we leave it like this, it will only get bigger.

“What do you mean there are many unstable places? I clearly looked into the memories and found a way to restore everything. And isn’t time flowing normally?”

-Huh? You said you put it back?

-What does that mean, special human?

“Rather, what I want to ask is, I think you need to explain properly what you mean by unstable.”

The voices of the goddess and the demon faded. My expression hardened as well. If something was wrong, it was seriously wrong.

The surrounding gazes also began to show signs of anxiety. They may not be able to hear the words of the gods, but they can hear my voice.

When I looked from the side, it seemed like I was joking around with the goddess and someone near the goddess, but then suddenly the atmosphere became serious. You must be wondering what’s going on.

-Literally, forces that destabilize space-time are being observed all over the world.

-That’s why we sent the warrior to find you, because we suspect that you either don’t fully understand how to stabilize the world, or that you are deliberately neglecting it with some intention… …but.

If the conversation had continued this far, anyone who wasn’t an idiot would have noticed that they were talking differently. I sighed inwardly. It was clear that something was wrong.

“Couldn’t you two fix it? I think the divinity is slowly returning.”

-I could have tried, but I thought it would be right to let you know first before doing so.

“Why?”

-Because the power that is making space-time unstable is in line with the divinity that you possess.

My thoughts were complicated as I headed towards the coordinates that were supposed to be the most important following the goddess. If the cause was really the Holy Spear, then I was a being who should no longer be in this world.

After absorbing Aria’s memories, returning to the original world was possible at any time. The reason I stayed here was to clean up after myself and prepare for any unexpected situations.

Just like now.

I had no choice but to ask Priscilla, Rosaria, Laura, and Elisier to wait a little longer. For those four, this was a place they would want to return to right away.

I even offered to send them back first if they wanted, but they refused sharply. They said that it would only make sense if we all went back together, and that as long as I was here, they could stay as long as they wanted.

“Are you here?”

-That’s right.

-That’s right.

The voice echoed in my head again. It wasn’t coming from the Holy Sword. It was as if a part of the thought had been transferred here.

When I asked if it was okay to just copy something like an idea, I was told that it was disposable and would only last for about half a day at most, so I assumed that was the case.

“That’s definitely true.”

The sky was half-colored with gold, and the ground, the plants, and even the flowing water were shining with a light gold color. Moreover, each and every bit of gold seemed to be imbued with divinity.

It’s not the goddess’s, but a much more powerful divine power flowing from the Holy Spear. It used to be similar, but after awakening, the output from the Holy Spear changed so much that it became somewhat distinguishable.

-Look. It’s different from your brother’s. That’s why we thought you left it like this on purpose.

-The instability of the entire world also originates from this place. I came to you because I felt that if I left it alone any longer, something irreversible would happen.

“I didn’t even know something like this existed.”

-But if not you, then what… … .

Yeah. I wonder where this came from. I can’t really rule out the possibility that it’s because of me.

“I’ll try to get rid of it first.”

As he summoned the Holy Spear in his left hand, the surrounding light began to glow rapidly in response. The surrounding scenery was dyed a brilliant gold.

That was the end.

‘… … First of all, is it not possible to absorb it?’

Judging from the fact that it glowed in response to the Holy Spear, it was clear that it was coming from here, but it was a mystery why it wasn’t absorbed. I put the spear away. The golden light that had filled my field of vision faded again.

“Maybe-”

I stopped talking as I was about to say the first possibility that came to mind, because it felt like the divinity was concentrated so intensely in one place.

As expected, a human figure appeared in that spot. It was a figure with the back of a human female. The entire body was made of light, so no other information could be made out of it.

“Can you both see what I’m seeing right now?”

-That’s right. That’s strange. I’m sure I didn’t find it when I investigated last time… … .

– It didn’t exist until just now. In terms of time, it can only be said to have appeared after you created the Holy Spear.

Even my senses, which are still half-recovered and not fully recovered, can deceive the senses of the being called God, and I am in the form of a human made of my divinity.

‘I don’t feel so good.’

Instead of the light spear, he drew his dragon sword and approached. As if he had heard the sound of footsteps, the human figure became darker. The body that had been all golden gradually began to change into various colors.

“… … .”

As soon as I saw the color that appeared, I froze.

It had to be that way, it had to be that way.

The nun’s habit that wrapped her entire body tightly, the back of her hair reaching down to her waist, the veil that covered her hair, and the gray hair that couldn’t be covered and was poking out through the gaps. Even though I could only see her from behind, I could tell.

“La, Ti… … Me?”

A woman in the shape of a nun turned around. As soon as I saw her closed-eyed face, I staggered and barely managed to keep my knees from bending.

Because that was the Latina’s face that should have disappeared from the image.

ㅡ… … It seems like this isn’t the place for us.

-We will now step aside, special human.

When the thoughts of the demon and goddess, who had noticed the ominous atmosphere, disappeared and the two were left alone, Latina smiled faintly.

“It’s been a while, you.”

The sweet voice that looked just like Latina’s, just like her face, made me come to my senses. My staggering body regained strength. My two legs stood firmly again. It was because I instinctively sensed the discomfort.

Latinas don’t talk like that. Not when I first met them, and not when we became friends. They just spoke in a different tone, but they were always stiff and businesslike.

“… … You, what kind of big-headed guy are you to have that appearance?”

“Did you notice? I didn’t intend to hide it from the beginning… … But I didn’t think you would notice with just a few words.”

A woman with Latina appearance slowly opened her eyes.

“That’s why I said I don’t like people who are quick-witted.”

I saw two eyes that were glowing blue, not gray.
