Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

“How are you here…?”

A familiar face.

But it was a face I never wanted to see again.

Behind a beautiful and mysterious face hides an ugly side.

“Grace… what are you doing here?”

I asked, barely holding back the murderous urge to kill her right then and there.

Since that day, I have searched for Grace countless times, but have never met her.

Because the activities of the watchers were drastically reduced and the system was changed to a small elite force, it was impossible to plant spies.

You hid really well.

He’s the guy I wanted to find somehow… but I can’t believe we ended up meeting like this.

“I thought you’d run to me as soon as you saw me, but what a surprise.”

“Shut up and tell me what’s wrong.”

If it weren’t for the current emergency, I would have ignored her and attacked her, no matter what her reason was.

‘There must be a reason why you came to this situation. Judging by the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like you came to kill me… No, I can’t say for sure.’

He is a human being whose thoughts cannot be known.

You have to be open to all possibilities to avoid disappointment.

“You seem to have a lot of regrets towards me. Thanks to me, you were able to take care of Yun-ga comfortably. Are you a little disappointed?”

“If you’re going to talk nonsense, get out.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not here to harm you. Honestly, there’s no better time to assassinate you, but I have no intention of doing so.”

“Even if that’s true for you, the thoughts of other guys inside the court might be different.”

“Oh my? I guess the news is late?”

“What does it mean?”

Grace smiled faintly.

“I am the head of the Watchers. It’s been like that for a while. The personnel reduction was my initiative.”

“That means….”

“It’s as you might expect. All of the members of the Watcher are faithfully following my orders.”

“That’s no reason to trust you and the Watcher. Your goal is… to bring about the end of this world, isn’t it?”

“Of course. We don’t intend to stay with you until the end. We won’t care much if you interfere with us. I hope you don’t… but we won’t touch your actions too much.”

Grace was strange.

Strangely enough, he was kind to me.

No, should I say friendly? There must be another more appropriate expression… .

‘Yes, protection. It looks like it’s trying to protect me. It seems like it’s trying to protect me by appearing in this situation right now… Why?’

I had a question.

Is there any reason why she should protect me?

Judging from the information given, there was nothing I could know.

I tried to look at Grace’s information through the observer, but something golden completely covered her information window, making it unreadable.

I’ve tried to look into her information several times so far, but I’ve never been successful.

“Don’t think too hard. You’ll find the answer anyway. This situation. It’ll be hard to get through it with just you and your bodyguards.”

Boom! Boom!

As Grace lifted her magic barrier, a noise was heard outside. It was the sound of something bursting and collapsing.

I could also hear people screaming.

Thud. A winged monster flew towards us, but was blocked by Grace’s curtain, slipped against the wall, and fell to the ground.

Outside, countless monsters filled the streets.

People were dying, and heroes were being pushed back by waves of monsters.

“I knew this would happen and prepared in advance. The level of the bodyguards is above average. There are over twenty of them… Do you think those things are a threat?”

“Yeah. With the level of your bodyguards… two days is the limit.”

“… I don’t think you need to worry. I can just go to Shinga.”

“Is that really so?”

Grace’s golden eyes shone brightly.

At the same time, a disaster descended from the darkened sky.

“Who would have any time to spare from that? I told you, two days. Your bodyguards. Even if you exhaust them all, two days is the limit to escaping from that.”

A black disaster descending from the sky.

I knew that.

“The Beast of the End… .”

The first apostle of the apocalypse, who will devour everything, has descended to earth.

This happened just a few dozen minutes after the precursory phenomenon occurred.

[ Oh, is it completely separated? ]

Arceli looked around in the white space and thought about what she had just done.

[ Thinking back on it again, it was an excellent measure. It was me after all. ]

She took steps to separate the space so that Cynthia would no longer be subject to outside interference.

This was to prevent Berget and Heron from interfering with Cynthia any further.

But that wasn’t all there was to it.

[Bergett guy… You didn’t notice, did you? Hehehe.]

Arceli, smiling sinisterly, tore the white space with her projectile and entered it.

Then, a place she had never seen before unfolded before her eyes.

This is a place of trial.

So, it was the place where the karma of death was giving Cynthia a trial.

[ Hmm… good, good. That went really well. It was a bit tricky helping the newbie because of that b*stard Berget… but thanks to that, I can definitely prevent interference, so it’s no loss! ]

There was only one reason why Arcelina was in a good mood at the moment.

Because she was not in a position to intervene in the ordeal Cynthia was going through.

[ At the moment when space is cut off… Switching between the dying clone and the main body. Wow! Even I think that’s a crazy move, right? ]

It was a dangerous act, as even a god could be destroyed and his divine powers torn to pieces by the pressure of space if the timing was off by even a single moment.

But Arcel saw the potential and gave it a try.

I was lucky and eventually succeeded.

That’s why she was able to be here.

Even the world’s best Berget wouldn’t have expected this.

Even Heron, who had a vision of the future, would not have been able to see the future at this point because his powerful divine power exploded when Muwol and his own flying machine became intertwined.

Of course, Arcelius didn’t calculate and execute all of this, but thinking back, he was pleased that things turned out so well.

[ Okay then… Let’s take a look to see if the newbie is doing well? ]

Arceli set out on a journey of ten thousand miles in search of Cynthia.

The place she arrived at was the place where the ordeal unfolded, but it was still a long way to the space where Cynthia was.

A mighty divine being galloped through the air.

***

Cynthia transcends, uses the teleporter, and enters the realm of the divine.

And she was given access to the Akashic Records, through which some of the knowledge of God was transmitted into her head.

Transcendent, God.

Fate, causality.

And the karma of death.

As time passed, more and more information entered her head, and Cynthia could perceive it.

And I could see why I was in this situation.

‘Death karma… The law of causality that is activated when a large amount of chaotic karma accumulates.’

It’s like a kind of system that is activated to maintain order and balance in the world.

Cynthia couldn’t figure out why the karma of chaos had piled up so much, but she had one guess.

It’s God.

Those who have reached the same level as you and look down on the world of all things.

The god of the pantheon.

I thought it might be them.

‘… Now that I think about it, I felt divine even in the paradox of light. It wasn’t just a simple characteristic, it was the stigmata of God.’

Cynthia clenched her fist.

What kind of god is it that he would mess up his life like this?

It was good to get stronger.

But I didn’t like being pushed around like this.

Because I was forced to break up with the person I love, and I ended up worrying about him. “That’s why. I’m going to somehow break this ordeal… and somehow make that god who interfered with my brother’s happiness pay the price.”

A firm resolve.

And obsession.

Cynthia faced her ordeal vowing to seek revenge on the god who had made her this way.

Huge eyes were staring at her.

Just looking at it made me feel dizzy and confused.

[ Prove your will . ]

The voice that had been ringing in her head before she came in rang in her ears once again.

[ Prove your worth . ]

[ Show me that you are worthy of living here . ]

Following those first words, other words echoed in her head.

And at the same time,

Gooo-

Suddenly, Cynthia’s intuition began to sound the alarm.

The cause was the giant pupils.

From noble mtl dot com

A giant eye floating in the air, messing with her mind.

Those eyes were watching Cynthia.

[ If you pass this test, I will consider all of your karma as settled. ]

Foreign media called the watchers of the end times.

His fragments appeared as administrators of the test by causality.
