Chapter 227: The Unwanted Confrontation

Weekly chapters (1/2)

A new information about Gluttony revealed.

Didn’t saw that coming.

Enjoy the chapter~

I let out a strange laugh that resembled a sigh…

[Again…]

I knew I would visit again someday. It’s better now than ever!?

Because I was tired, I might have been exploited by my weak heart.

Is that why I was drawn here?

In this pure white spiritual world.

Sigh, if I had felt relieved yesterday, this is it.

I didn’t come here on my own. In that case, there must be someone who invited me here.

In the past, Luna often invited me here. And I used to train my mind together with Greed here.

However, Luna is no longer there.

But then…there’s only one other person who can summon me here.

[I’m sure you’re here. Come out.]

My voice was sucked into a pure white world.

I couldn’t help but click my tongue. It’s too bad!

[Come out.]

After a while, a black shadow spread like a stain across the white world, signaling the arrival of the person I’ve been calling out.

The stains coalesced and took the shape of a human.

[You seem troubled, don’t you?]

[You are very polite to make me come all the way here just to tell me that]

[It’s my body too. Lest you forget it.]

The other me… the Sacred Beastkin part of me, showed me the pattern engraved on his right hand.

This was a sacred engraving that I inherited from Snow during the battle against Libra.

[There’s a reason why this sacred stigmata hasn’t disappeared, you know.]

[That’s…no way!?]

[It means God still exists.]

[Where? I should have been eaten Him!]

The other me grinned. Then, he pointed to my chest area.

[That’s right. He’s sleeping inside you right now.]

[Inside the Gluttony skill?]

[And it’s probably about to be born.]

He showed me his right arm, which had a sacred stigmata on it, and said,

[Look here.]

The sacred stigmata changed color, appearing as if it is blazing red. This is proof that someone has received God’s revelation.

[You should get it now. God hasn’t been fully defeated yet. You merely devoured it whole. And apparently my revelation is to free Him.]

[Are you intending to fight me?]

I thrusted the broken black sword as if I was punching with it into the opening I made.

[Ghaaah…that’s your weakness.]

The other me, who stood up unsteadily, licked his upper lip and laughed.

[I thought you were mentally weak because you are alone, but you’re actually quite energetic.]

[I won’t lose to you.]

In the end, even in the fight against Libra, we couldn’t cooperate or understand each other.

Even in a battle like that, if we can’t find an even ground, there will be little hope for us in the future.

We are parallel lines that never intersect, but share the same body.

The other me stabbed the black sword into the ground.

[Maybe not now. But, there will always be next time.]

[What do you mean?]

[In this elf world, you are the same old have-nots who can’t do anything.]

[Kuh…]

[So how is it? How does it feel like to go back to your old days?]

There is definitely some irritation. Not being able to do the things you could have done…is surprisingly painful.

It wasn’t even like going back to basics, I really couldn’t do anything. I was reminded of the old feeling of helplessness that I had forgotten.

That’s what he’s trying to get through to me.

[So, how about a deal?]

[With someone as untrustworthy as you?]

[Look at how you hate me now. There was a time when we got along just fine.]

[Though it’s only for a short period of time, right?]

If I have a chance, will I be able to listen to the words of the person who wants to replace me?

However, the other me was calm.

He raised his right arm, which has a stigmata on it, towards me.

[I’ll lend you my power. It’s the power of a sacred beastkin. This power can be used even in this elf world.]

[Why?]

[It’s up to you whether you can trust me or not.]

[What’s your purpose?]

Without my consent, the power of the sacred stigmata was carved into my right arm.

Don’t do as you like!

[It’s simple. The more you use this power, the more I’ll become you]

[Then all the better. There’s no way I’d use it.]

[Are you sure? I’ve been watching you. You’ll use this power when there is nothing left your powerless self can do.]

He looked at me with unwavering, confident eyes.

I’ve lost the will to object.

[But, feel free to do your best to prove me wrong. I’ll still lend you my power any time you need it]

[…..shut up.]

[And gradually I’ll replace you. I will become Fate.]

With a smile, the other me disappeared into the pure white world.

And then, I too departed from this world. The time for sleep was coming to an end.
