Chapter 451 - Episode Ninety-Seven - The End of the Story (2)
I took a seat and was frantically defending myself as I explained to Kudor, Peter, and Myunhi about the battle against the Sky god Silfheim.
“…… So, then! I used the Abel Cannon of the Magic Wave Tower to defeat the Sky God Silfheim, and it wasn’t that dangerous!”
I waved my wand and spelled out a magic explanation scheme with light in the air.
I’ll make it complicated so that it’s a little confusing.
Neither Kudor nor Peter would understand it anyway.
My aim is to make them unable to deal with my sophistry because their brains will be overwhelmed by the diagrams.
Mea’s shoulders swayed, and she opened her eyes and shook her head.
She must have almost fallen asleep.
Myunhi was also pinching her arm from time to time to keep herself awake.
Peter occasionally nodded meaningfully, but there was no way he knew what was going on.
Alright, I’ll push through at this rate.
“I don’t care about the logic of the Abel Cannon. Let’s get back to it. What’s your point?”
When Kudor waved her arm away, the picture I had been drawing with the light of my wand dissipated.
“…… W-What I want to say that the risk and return of the Abel Cannon were worth it. Besides, I didn’t fire the Abel cannon because I wanted to spare my own life! There’s no way I would have done that! But if I didn’t defeat the Silfheim here, Kudor wouldn’t have been able to stand up to them alone! That’s why I had no choice but to use it to protect the world!”
It was a big lie.
If I hadn’t somehow disposed of the Silfheim right there, he would have killed me and Mea for sure.
Kudor said that I should escape from the Silfheim at all costs, but frankly, there was no way I could do that with my human endurance.
Please don’t be absurd.
Silfheim had the firepower to kill even Kudor, and he also had the fucking “Red Dream”‘s ability.
To be honest, I was thinking that there was not much difference between me and Mea dying and the world blowing up.
That’s why the moment I decided that I was no match for the Silfheim, I headed for the Dinrat Kingdom without a moment’s hesitation, relying on the Abel Cannon.
…… As expected, when I think back, I have a lot of thoughts about involving all of the people I’ve met and all of humanity, including the Marren tribe, but at any rate, in that dire situation, I didn’t have time to worry about such moral issues.
“And as I showed you in the diagram, the success rate of the Abel Cannon was close to one hundred percent. But you see, if it had failed, there would have been some kind of glitch in the world. Even if the probability of failure was only a fraction of a decimal point, I was still very conflicted about using the Abel Cannon.”
This is also a big lie.
I thought the success rate of the Abel cannon was 50/50.
And I dared to say that there was some kind of glitch in the world, but frankly, if I had made a mistake, the whole universe would have been blown up.
One more thing, there was no proof that destroying the “Red Dream” with a single blow would break the link with the True God.
I had evidence, but I couldn’t say for sure that it would happen. It was only a matter of time before it happened.
There was a good chance that the world would fizzle out if I messed up there too.
If you take the time to examine the situation, the odds of the world being wiped out might have been higher, to be honest.
It was a bold move on my part.
“So, you can think that the use of the Abel cannon was unavoidable. If you’re asking me to sit back and let the Silfheim rule the world, I can only say that I was wrong.”
“…… Well, you’re right, from what you’ve told me, it sounds like it was unavoidable.”
Peter nodded.
Okay, I’ve convinced Peter who was glaring with a troublesome look.
I’ll try to silence Kudor with this pace.
“And …… The reason why you hid the details of the Abel cannon is because you were planning to hit me when the time came?”
The moment Kudor said those words, the air in the place froze.
The air in the room froze as soon as Kudor said the words, and the mouth peeking out from Peter’s mask twitched.
I probably would have had a similar expression on my face.
Ahh, it’s over ……
No, I can still make it.
I’ll get through this somehow.
“N, no, of course, it’s against Count Julem. You never know where the information might leak from. And besides, it was a dangerous weapon, so I didn’t plan to use it ……!”
“The specifications for targeting the target with the highest magic power, and the range that are around the Dinrat Kingdom, seem to have been designed for me. You didn’t even know who Count Julem was, so why would you need to make such a limited function as a countermeasure against the Silfheim?”
…… Yes, due to the fact that it has a range centered on the Dinrat Kingdom and automatically targets opponents with the highest magic power, even if I wanted to aim at Count Julem, it’s more likely that the target would be Kudor.
The only thing I can say is that it was built so that I could bury Kudor at any time I wanted.
In fact, that’s why I built it ……
I froze in silence.
I can’t think of any excuses.
I shouldn’t have been so foolish as to tell you everything about the Battle with Sky God Silfheim.
I had time and I should have prepared a fake story.
Why couldn’t I have realized that Kudor would arrive at the most obvious answer?
I was relaxed after defeating the Silfheim.
“A-Abel-chan …… You mean to tell me that you and not only betrayed me, Baron Lark, and Kudor and escape, but also planned to bury Kudor, the Guarding Deity of the Dinrat Kingdom?”
Peter asks me with a puzzled look on his face.
I was frozen without words to reply, but I gave up and rubbed my hands, smiling flirtatiously at Kudor as best I could.
“B-Because, you see, Kudor-sama, we’ve been through a lot, haven’t we? That’s why I wanted an insurance or something …… To be honest, isn’t it inevitable that some of these things would happen? “
He tried to kill Mea, and even tried to kill me when I tried to stop him.
I’d like to say that I don’t really have a choice, to be honest.
It’s not like I’m going to die quietly because some great god decided it was better that way.
“………… Well, you’re right. I can’t blame them for wanting to know about it.”
After a few moments of silence, Coudre put her hand to her forehead in anguish.
“In fact …… I am grateful that you destroyed the main body of the Silfheim. This is something that even I could not have done. You should be regarded as a hero of salvation without question.”
“I did it …… I’ve been forgiven ……!”
However, it’s rare to see Kudor, who always has a relaxed demeanor, in this much distress.
It’s been a while since I forcibly combined the artificial spirit Icarus with Kudor.
