I gently closed my eyes.

With just that brief exchange of glances with Yu Sein, I understood the situation.

‘The end has finally come.’

But I, being the God of the Sword, was trying to act and react, not just exist. echo And every time I did, those words the false gods hurled at me ten years ago came to mind.

“Action” and “reaction” belong to humans.

That’s precisely why gods shouldn’t have a will of their own. shadow Gods must be phenomena and functions.

But even so, they were wrong, and I was right.

A mix of all three.

Ragnarok let out an old, worn-out laugh.

“The flow of the universe doesn’t have to work that way alone. advance Why cling to such primitive methods?”
