The Hero Disciple Is Back

130. The Disciple Returns (Complete)

The war is over.

After the war, it is packaged as a day of splendid glory. As much as the war was a tragedy, it is truly over and only a bright tomorrow awaits us… I don’t really believe it… Anyway, all sorts of events are held to package the atmosphere a little brighter.

My disciple Sarah and daughter Leah were obviously busy getting involved in all the grandiose events and atmosphere-packing. I was left out of it. I didn’t like that kind of stuff…

Got out quickly.

Now, I have no interest in carrying such grand titles as hero.

… Well, there were other ‘reasons’ besides that.

– Isn’t it a shame to waste your chance to be recorded in history as a hero?

“I’m not really interested in that kind of thing.”

He succeeded at gambling.

The starting point of the match was whether the true creator god could endure until he absorbed the demon king’s power, or not… Fortunately, I succeeded, I overcame it, I hit the jackpot.

The only way to save yourself from the price of a miracle is another miracle.

I was able to survive without dying thanks to another miracle performed by the true creator god who had regained his strength.

But as I said before, miracles come at a price.

Of course, ‘even the miracle that saved me requires a price.’

-Has your body finished adapting?

“Yes, that’s why I left the kids and came first.”

adaptation of the body

It’s a somewhat strange expression.

It sounds like you’re saying that my body is different from a normal human body. … The important thing is that it’s not wrong.

Because it is impossible to completely return a broken glass cup to its original state. This is especially true when it is a vessel called the soul.

Even if the true creator god had recovered some of his power, it would have been impossible to completely restore a being whose soul vessel had been destroyed and whose body had been destroyed as a price for a miracle.

There is nothing more inefficient than trying to forcibly attach something that is already broken and has no answer. In that case, you should make an efficient decision.

That is to create an entirely new vessel, a new body.

That is, this body was so elaborately made that it looked like the human body itself… but in reality, it wasn’t.

-Don’t you regret it?

“I made the children stop crying. I can watch them from the side. There is no reason to regret it.”

– But haven’t you seen? What a terrible curse immortality can be… .

“… … .”

Yes, that’s right.

The gamble was successful.

But that doesn’t mean that the results I got were completely satisfying. Everyone has a desired ending, but that doesn’t mean that everyone gets the ending they want completely. I always end up with a mediocre ending that I like somewhat and don’t like in some parts. That inevitability is something I can’t avoid.

“I have received privileges that others do not have… so isn’t it only natural that I should pay a price for it?”

I became something other than human.

It wasn’t just a simple physical modification. My existence, even the vessel of my soul, was created by the hands of the true creator god. In other words, my existence became a completely special being. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t as great as the Demon King, but you could say that I became a being of that kind.

And being special usually means being especially miserable… I have already experienced, learned, and realized enough.

So the future that awaits me… how long will it be… . Perhaps, as the true Creator said, what awaits me is the infinite eternity that the Demon King experienced.

There may come a day when I, too, will writhe in agony, thinking of the endless time as a curse, just like the Demon King did.

-Your condition was serious, and in order to fully capture your existence, I had no choice but to bestow upon you a fate beyond what was expected.

In other words, just as the mediocre gods could not destroy the Demon King no matter what they did… I, who was born with a new destiny through the pure power of the true Creator God, was also in the same situation.

In order to kill me, it would require a fairly complicated procedure, even if it wasn’t as complicated as the Demon King’s. In other words, I was no longer in a position where I could die even if I wanted to.

… It was literally a situation where ‘I made the right choice, but the results that awaited me were not always what I wanted.’

I have no regrets.

No matter how much I go back in time or regress, my choices will not change.

No matter how terrible the price to be paid in the future… there is nothing more precious than the reality and future of those children not being sad.

-But have you prepared an answer to my desperate confession?

“… You really have a bad personality.”

-Because he’s the children’s father.

“But do you really intend to leave it like that?”

-Because sin is sin.

The mediocre gods… . The true creator god gave them an atonement system so that they would pay for their sins with their bodies, as great as they were. They were literally given a fate where they had no choice but to be reincarnated as humans and work for the world. Even after suffering and dying like that… . They fell into this endless cycle of atonement system where they would be reincarnated as humans again and devote themselves to the world, to humanity, and to their own lives.

I was surprised that he agreed and did it so easily, even though he had said he wanted me to do it. I guess he also knows that his children have committed great sins.

By the way, the god of wandering was removed. He was only wandering in the first place and did not get involved much in the affairs of the mediocre gods. It cannot be said that he is completely free from sin for neglecting or inaction… . It is not like he could have done anything, and since he played a big role in saving the world in the end, it was decided to remove him from consideration. However, since he was not completely innocent, he was given the fate of reincarnating as a human and saving people’s lives.

And Stella was born as the daughter of such a ‘god of human wandering’ by the true creator god.

Perhaps the blessing of her soul was too much to ask for… She was in a dangerous situation if she didn’t act quickly, and it was something she wanted too, so that’s what happened.

“Is ‘she’ adjusting well?”

-You’re doing well.

The ‘her’ I was talking about was a story about the World Tree.

There were too many problems to clean up after the mediocre gods left behind… . And the true creator god had not completely recovered his power either… . He was lacking in many ways. That was why the one chosen was the World Tree, which was the realm of a demigod. Now, he was working more diligently than the mediocre gods and producing results.

Even though all the gods were just mediocre, her existence definitely had meaningful results. Well, even if you compare the light and dark, the dark is so great that it’s meaningless.

-Then I will go back now. I have a lot of work to do.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

-You will be here soon. Enjoy your short rest.

When viewed from the perspective of the true creator God, it is not surprising that the time given to us from now on will feel very short. Even though He existed as a boundary for that vast time, He was still fine… .

‘But for me, it will be a long time and the most precious time of my life.’

It was when I was thinking like that.

-But what are you going to do with that passionate confession?

“… … .”

Wow… How can you so easily revive a problem that people have worked hard to forget… This is just too much…

He took advantage of the incredible situation of ‘I almost died, but I came back to life!’ and used that momentum to temporarily silence the disciple’s desperate confession…

That doesn’t mean that what was there doesn’t disappear.

-I think the answer is already obvious since you couldn’t reject it right away?

“… Didn’t you say you were busy? Let’s go quickly.”

-Okay, okay. I look forward to seeing what choice you make.

… It’s the very spirit of wanting to enjoy it… . In some ways, it couldn’t help but be a truly divine sight.

That was when.

“I see you’re here.”

This body, which was something other than human, was much more sensitive than the body of a transcendent being, so it did not miss any magical reactions.

And I went out as I felt

The magic of space travel was unleashed.

In it

“dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Leah jumped out and hugged me right away.

I accepted it as it was and patted its head.

‘It was good that you adapted… .’

At first, I couldn’t control my strength… . Even just stroking it would cause damage to the tree… .

and….

“I’m back.”

Sarah looked at me and smiled as she said that.

And me too

I was finally able to say the words I had wanted to say so badly that I had to let them mature in my mind over and over again.

“… Welcome.”

The disciple returned.

♧♧♧

I know.

That means the teacher lied.

The Master said that it was as if I had completely recovered with the power of the true Creator God… . I had researched anti-Aura using two Aura Hearts in order to kill the Demon King. I knew more about the human body than anyone else, to a degree that the Master could not have predicted.

So I could tell right away.

The Master’s body… . His soul… . is not human. There is no way to save him from the price of a miracle except another miracle. And there is no way to avoid the price of performing another miracle.

… you would have known.

Even though I knew it from the beginning… .

That must have been the choice.

Because he is that kind of person… .

Because he is the one who will say that tomorrow, when we can live without crying and smiling, is more precious than the misfortune and despair that will come upon him in the distant future. Even if he has to bear a price that does not fit the scales… . He is the fool who will gladly bear it, saying that it does not matter as long as we can smile without crying… . The fool… . That is him… .

So I can’t forgive you.

Do you really think that I can enjoy the happiness that you created by falling into hell? Neither I nor Leah have any intention of doing so.

So I plan to change a lot of things in the future.

Because I have no intention of letting him spend that eternity alone.

If he had to bear a burden too heavy for me, I would take half of it away from him and share it with him. I had already finished talking to the true Creator.

therefore….

Master… no, Jade… you… .

Now, stop it now… .

If you don’t want to see me go crazy…

Jade didn’t know, but her disciple was already changing because of her own choices.
