Transformation or Death - Chapter 301
301 – Snake’s Head (10)
Even as night fell, the world showed no sign of cooling down. The heat contained in the light heated the world endlessly. Even though fall came, the tropical nights continued.
Artificial midnight sun incident. The bright sky and hot temperatures made it difficult for many people to sleep at night. It was the same for Yun Seol-hwa.
“after….”
Beads of sweat formed on my skin, which had a slightly lower body temperature than average. Yun Seol-hwa wiped away the sweat with the back of her hand and let out a deep sigh.
The sweat that flowed like that was not simply due to the heat.
The poison and anger flowing inside her body took away her sleep at night.
“Ayoona….”
I had no idea that my lovely younger brother would stab me in the back like this. What was the denial of love that was answered when the night was still dark?
Could it be that he was planning to take him secretly after making him let down his guard? Was he planning to break the engagement and enter into an unfaithful and immoral relationship?
Was the love that was denied actually an unjust affection?
Of course, Jo Ah-yoon had no intention of backstabbing Yun Seol-hwa. It just seemed that way because of some complicated circumstances.
Jo Ah-yoon, a strong pure lover, never dreamed of having an affair. We pushed forward strongly based on the belief that ‘cheesy, forced love stories are better than NTR’. I also saw comics and movies as only featuring couples in one-on-one, straight-line love.
It should have been that way…
A situation like ‘It didn’t exist but it happened’ occurred.
I met a love so great that it even changed my tastes.
Greed blinds people. Perhaps because he had not been greedy before, his desire was much greater than that of others.
As a result, he even provoked Yun Seol-hwa in front of him. She hugged Han Jaejoong and expressed her desire to monopolize him.
“…Why did you do that?”
“Hi!”
It was time to get paid for it. Jo A-yoon flinched under Yun Seol-hwa’s sharp gaze.
“Why, why…! what!”
It was difficult to even look at her directly, so I hid behind the curtain and only peeked out my face. The provocative appearance during the video call was surprising.
Being greedy and the essence are two different stories. No matter how much I realized love and developed a desire to be happy with him, I couldn’t help my instinctive fearful nature.
“Haa… Ayun, since when did you become so insidious? “This sister is really sad.”
“Ugh, it’s my older sister who is sneaky, but where is the magical girl who always looks at dirty things… hehe!”
Even if you can fight a giant snake without losing, the older sister you’ve seen for a long time and is in trouble with is scary. Jo A-yoon got scared and hid behind the curtain without even finishing his sentence.
“Ah, anyway, everything I said before is canceled!”
Jo Ayun’s trembling voice was heard beyond the curtain.
“I like you too! So much so that I can’t even beat my sister!”
The greed that arose soon became a dream.
“Well, that’s how it happened… Don’t ignore me too much from now on. “Because I’m a woman too.”
To achieve my dream, today was an opportunity I shouldn’t have wasted.
“And, I don’t know about you, but other than my brother, I don’t care what happens to the world, but… I like this world to be peaceful. “I want to be happy in a peaceful world.”
Light like sunlight came in through the window. A white glow softly filled the room. It was a strange night. The dreamy and unrealistic atmosphere of the night combined with the splendor of the day made the world seem even more filled with madness.
“I don’t want a world with bright nights. “I hate a world where there are snakes floating in the sky and even more so where they eat people.”
The women just talking about love on this strange night couldn’t have been any stranger.
“So, sister, let’s fight over it later.”
Eyes that had been forged over countless years wavered beyond the curtain.
“I want a normal world.”
It was her selfish wish, and at the same time, it was the wish of everyone in the world.
“…Mo, I’m taking good care of my body and resting. “Don’t just change and show off.”
Yun Seol-hwa laughed, looking at the cute hand holding the curtain.
“Ayun, do you think it’s going to be a battle?”
“Si, be noisy! “You won’t know unless you try!”
Yoon Seol-hwa’s ridicule made Jo Ah-yoon irritated.
“Anyway, be prepared. I won’t lose. “To anyone.”
With that declaration, the shadow behind the curtain disappeared.
In the quiet hospital room again, Yun Seol-hwa sighed.
“it’s annoying.”
A quietly ripening world, a sickly body, and a love that is in danger of being taken away.
I was so angry about the whole situation that I lowered my head.
**
The snake lowered its head and looked down.
A snake sitting on the highest point was observing the world.
I watched again the world I had watched countless times.
Savage monsters. People who are scared, people who are busy, people who are resting. The windows of tall buildings sparkle reflecting light, and sparkles seep through the leaves. The sea was as brilliant as a huge jewel, and the brilliance cast over the mountains was majestic. The sky is clear with not a single star visible.
How lovely this bright world is.
Although I have floated through countless parallel universes and observed countless worlds, its beauty has not changed, and my admiration for that beauty has also not changed.
The snake that destroyed the world the most loved the world more and more strongly than anyone else.
Every monster has a dream. It was no different with snakes. Rather, it could be seen as the largest. Because his desire for his dream was greater than anyone else’s, he grew to such a gigantic size.
His dream is not simply to eat the world.
If the dream was to eat the world in the first place, wouldn’t the dream have already been achieved by the time the first act of predation was completed?
A snake’s predation is a means, not an end.
He was a snake that ate the world, not a snake that wanted to eat the world.
The purpose was not destruction, but something else.
The only reason I have eaten the world countless times until now is to achieve my dream. However, just before the snake could achieve its dream, it was stopped by unexpected beings.
A man sat on the head of a snake contemplating the world.
“Did you get some rest?”
Snake’s biggest enemy now, an individual with the universe in his heart. It was the Watcher, a monster who contemplates the stars.
It must have been wrapped around its body with a flame that could not be interfered with, which it obtained from eating a lion. The strange cosmic monster seemed to have penetrated even that.
If it weren’t for him, there would have been no need to take a defensive stance like this in the first place. The head, which was a means of crossing parallel worlds, was killed by him.
“My colleague couldn’t rest at all because of you.”
It wasn’t the only thing on top of my head. Odette, who had moved to his side with the power of a butterfly, was also riding on his head.
“…So finish it quickly and surely. “I really want to rest now.”
The snake glared at her as if it were killing her. In fact, the biggest culprit that ruined things was that woman, not her man. If it weren’t for her, her hidden snake’s head would not have been discovered, and if it had been discovered, her head would not have died.
Sreuk. The snake stuck out its tongue and expressed its anger.
“So, let’s live a little harder too.”
Light flashed in the Watcher’s hand. It was starlight containing enough violence to easily crush and crush the snake’s head.
“I’ll let you rest after that. “Forever.”
The tip of the snake’s tongue, a strange human-shaped tongue, looked at the Watcher and spoke.
“You might think that as long as you have that starlight, anything is possible.”
The tip of his tongue, whose features were covered with something like a mask, spoke in an angry voice.
“But in the end, you will be defeated because of the starlight.”
Kwasik! The Watcher’s fist slammed into his head. The light contained within his fist was released and shattered the snake.
It was an insignificant end not worthy of the greatest beast.
It should have been that way.
Snakes are cunning by nature and are good at hiding.
Hide your body, hide your power, and hide your purpose.
Although he couldn’t hide his body this time, he could still hide his power and purpose.
In the first place, it is a snake that has accumulated the starlight of the parallel world within it. I could never be weak.
It was a planned procedure from when seclusion became impossible anyway. In this universe, power had to be revealed.
The imitation of the weak is over.
The snake’s body was nothing more than a shell for external activity.
The substance is in the tongue.
Mouth. A window connecting the world and thoughts.
He opened his mouth before the tip of his masked tongue burned with light.
Everything I had eaten so far was spit out in the form of flames.
Thousands of snakes made of light crawled out of the mouth of the tiny person. The snakes wriggled and formed a single shape, and soon merged into one giant snake.
A huge snake of light flew through the sky. The sparks that came out from the snake fell and colored the sky.
The midnight sun still continued.
**
The night was not dark, and even remote places were equally illuminated. Normally, I would have been consumed by the darkness of the night because there were no street lights, but today it was bright enough to count each and every window of the building in that lonely place.
“There are also special days.”
It was a night that further illuminated how lonely the outskirts were, which were once vibrant, but were no longer visited by anyone.
“It feels like daytime at this hour.”
Haru muttered as he stared at the abandoned building.
That abandoned building on the beach was Haru’s hometown. The actual place of birth may be a little different, but since this is where I was actually born and raised, it was okay to call it my hometown.
A ruined orphanage.
It was a common building during this era.
While Haru went to Korea, the orphanage in her hometown was unable to withstand the ever-decreasing support and was eventually forced to close.
The vacant lot where children used to play has become overgrown with weeds and bugs, and the equipment is rusty and broken. The piano that played lullabies was cracked and dusty, and the hallway was so rough that it was impossible to walk barefoot.
One day, I quietly looked at the ruined orphanage. Since he came to Japan, he has been stopping by this place every day.
White Davich is a magical girl from Japan. And her affiliation is also in Japan. Although she was training in Korea, she had no reason to return there. Although she was one of the rare Divine Awakenings, she was not lacking in her manpower in Korea as she was called right away in just a few days.
She returned to her hometown after a long time for a long vacation.
It was actually funny that my hometown disappeared.
“It’s not like you to be shaking in a place like this.”
Silver Luna came up behind Haru, who was sitting on an old bench and looking aimlessly at the orphanage.
“Oh, that line was like a cartoon! After all, Japan’s national magical girl is a cliche!”
“Don’t do anything foolish in a place like this and stay alert. “It’s an emergency, and a divine magic girl can’t play around.”
“no, I do not want. “I’m on vacation.”
Young and MJ Haru did not listen to Silver Luna’s nagging. No one could stop her from going on vacation. world? Is it okay?
“No, the world could be ruined right now?!”
“It was always like that. What do you mean again? “If you just stay still, my brother will figure it out.”
“That kind of careless attitude is the worst….”
Silver Luna stopped speaking, sharpened her eyes, and turned her head. The presence of a monster was felt close to her.
“Now, wait a minute, we’re not suspicious!”
“If you say that, it looks even more suspicious, idiot.”
A monster’s voice that isn’t that unfamiliar.
It was a monster from the Sagittarius and Compass constellations that I had previously encountered in the battle with Argo. They were walking this way, bathed in the bright light of the night.
“Why are those two here…?”
Why are they here? Could this be one of the culprits that caused the midnight sun phenomenon? Silver Luna was wary of them and prepared to deal with them at any time.
“Do you guys know anything about that snake…?”
Coogung-! At that moment, a powerful explosion occurred behind them. Anyone who sees it will think it was something they did to make their appearance cool. But it wasn’t something they were aiming for at all.
“Tangled mud!”
Caught in the unexpected explosion, Amundsen and Jason tumbled to the ground. Chi-ik-! I could feel the smell of burning and smoke coming from them.
Fireworks rained from the sky. It was like a volcanic eruption and lava pouring out. The area that came into contact with the rain exploded and shattered the surrounding area. The bright night became even brighter.
Kwakwang-! The orphanage exploded in flames.
“Wow, this is really ruining. “I think it’s killing Senpai’s prediction skills.”
It came.
