The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 496



497 – Checkmate

Roel moved. The God of Chaos, who was expecting the crouching beast to rise up, soon felt as if there was a gap in his consciousness. In an instant, in a movement that could never be traced with his vision, Roel was already swinging the holy sword in front of him.

“… !”

Kwaaang―――!

Although I couldn’t react, I was able to prevent Roel’s surprise attack. The power of God is such an absurd thing. However, the God of Chaos felt as if his consciousness had been completely frozen.

Why did he use his power on Roel? The impossible happened to him. The God of Chaos could not keep up with Roel’s movements at all. Up until now, dealing with Roel was like quietly looking down from a very high place to see ants working hard… Same class. No, the current Roel made him feel an indescribable discomfort, as if he had become a stronger being than himself.

“How dare you—!”

The God of Chaos, who was trying to punish the monster for being rude and arrogant by unleashing the true power of chaos, momentarily missed Roel’s movement again.

Kwaaang――――!

This time, the power was activated behind my back. The God of Chaos couldn’t understand that. How is that possible? It is impossible for humans to surpass God. You can spend everything you have to reach the realm of God, even if just for a moment… The current Roel was far from burning everything in one blow.

The proof was that huge roars continued to erupt around the God of Chaos. Roel was wielding the holy sword without any problems, even though he was using power that surpassed that of a god. He did not become a god. But you can instinctively know it. He said that wasn’t even a human. Yes, it is correct to say that it has become something that resembles God.

thud—!

The God of Chaos, who created a powerful shockwave that crushed the space around him, narrowed his eyes and expressed his anger.

“Do you think that your actions now can handle the probability?”

Roel, who had a holy sword emitting light on his shoulder, looked straight at the God of Chaos and said.

“There is enough probability.”

“How arrogant, even I cannot completely ignore the probability that is the foundation of the world.”

Reading the flow of probability was something that even the God of Chaos had to be careful about. For a mere human being to proudly say that there is enough probability is no different from a frog saying that he has fully understood the world called a well.

However, the God of Chaos could not find any arrogance or arrogance on Roel’s face. Rather, he was smiling sincerely. He looked at himself with an expression as if he still didn’t know.

“You still… “Have you not realized that we are connected?”

“… what?”

“I guess I just lack the ability to read the flow because I like to twist it.”

The God of Chaos, well aware that his opponent was not bluffing, checked his body. He couldn’t feel anything strange. Aside from the secret trap called synchronization rate, there is nothing secret about this Ross’ body… ?!

“This is… !”

The God of Chaos, who borrowed the power of chaos to see himself through a third party’s perspective, realized the connection that Roel had mentioned. On the top of the body he descended from, there was a very faint line, thinner than his hair, pointing towards the sky. Roel was a place where a line stretched endlessly upward into the sky. There was also a line connected to the top of his head. The two were literally connected.

“Since when!!!”

In an attempt to hastily disconnect, I tried to use the power of chaos to cut the line… Even the chaos that could cut through anything was gently shed, and the line was unbroken no matter what he did. Roel spoke softly to the God of Chaos, who realized that only by using the power of God could he sever the connection.

“Ross was someone you should never have descended upon.”

At those words, the God of Chaos looked at Roel with his true face without any expression. Why? When he descended on Ross, where he had become the cult leader, there were no problems. Same soul, same body… Why does this difference exist? The answer was given by Roel.

“Have you ever thought it was strange? “In all those countless worlds, you have never once descended on the ‘Ross’ of that world?”

The God of Chaos thought about Roel’s point. It’s true. Meanwhile, Roel’s inferior younger brother, Ross, sells his soul to the Demon King, is killed by Roel, or dies at the hands of the cult leader… He just killed Roel in front of him himself. He never used it as an ingredient for Advent. Ross, who became the cult leader, descended after crossing from another world to the first world.

“It was all planned. For this moment.”

Roel smiled and continued speaking.

“The Ross who became the leader is the Ross of a different world. It’s another one that can’t be the real Ross, it’s a fake. “He is an uninvited guest who enters the story because of his ambiguous nature.”

“What does that mean?”

Roel answered immediately without waiting at all.

“Ross can become a cult leader, but the cult leader can never be Roth. Because each person’s role is different in this world.”

It is not against the flow of probability for Ross to become the leader of the cult. Because the possibility of that happening exists. But the opposite case is different. The leader can never be Roth. Ross is an ‘inferiority expendable’ extra whose role in the story was set from the beginning. If Ross from another world usurps that role, the world’s denial can never be avoided.

“The cult leader is citing an ambiguous setting, and you are citing an error in the setting of the story… “I used probability to get into the story.”

At that moment, Roel’s posture lowered and a voice came from right in front of him. He once again used his power to block Roel’s attack, but Roel did not retrieve his holy sword and instead used his strength to push away [Chaos]. The foolishness really started to push the chaos away, in an impossible way.

“… !”

Roel, who had made the absurd possible, spoke with a natural expression on his face.

“Ross feels a strong sense of inferiority to me, the hero. The probability was that no matter what Ross did, he would always catch up with me and could never win, creating a terrible set-up where he developed an inferiority complex. “With that setting, me and Ross were connected, and I can feel and gain everything about Ross.”

The Holy Sword became closer to the God of Chaos.

“The reason I watched the people I love die… Because I needed time to digest everything about you. Everyone knows that, so they made time for me. “Thanks to their sacrifices, I have finally become someone who can defeat you.”

The God of Chaos, who came face to face with Roel, suddenly burst into laughter. It was a risky but enjoyable variable that was worth the wait.

“… Puhahahaha!!! Yes, that was another trap! You sneaky b*stard! Now I understand. That’s why I neglected to descend on Ross!”

It was definitely a good trap. It must be a trap that Shin and Roel had prepared for a very long time, losing countless worlds. One of the reasons why Roel personally killed Ross in so many worlds was probably to prevent him from being aware of such a setup. The God of Chaos, who felt so amused that Roel had deceived him, smiled sincerely.

“But. If you had truly reached the realm of God, you would have realized it. “God can never be defeated.”

The God of Chaos raised his hand and created the purest chaos. It was a wonderful and enjoyable variable, but one that could be controlled by the powers of the God of Chaos.

“How not to lose against an opponent stronger than you… “Someone told me that for a very long time.”

Roel has already moved on to the next world with a draw against someone he can never beat. He personally showed himself a ‘clue’ to escape this trap.

No matter how much Roel absorbed everything about himself… If you use the power of God, you can avoid dying. If we continue to fight endlessly, putting off defeat indefinitely, the world will eventually be destroyed.

If that happens, the winner will be… As always, be yourself. A hero who fails to prevent the destruction of the world cannot win even if he defeats the villain later.

“You, who trapped me, actually helped me escape the trap. Fuuu… !!!”

The God of Chaos burst out in maniacal laughter and looked at Roel in anticipation to see what kind of expression he would make. Could it be that her expression reveals self-blame? Could it be that her expression is full of despair for not having anticipated her own response?

However, the expression that the God of Chaos had expected was nowhere to be found. Without any emotion, Roel said this with a dry face without even a smile.

“No, it’s already checkmate.”

Roel swung the holy sword.

And this time… .

[Power] could not block Roel’s holy sword.
