chapter 573
Chapter 151: Summoning (4)
Moirai’s words stuck in me like a thorn.
The identity of the smartwatch, the main quest I was trying to solve, it was all just like playing in Moirai.
Moirai continued speaking.
“In humanity, at certain cycles, resistance forces that rebel against God emerge. “We called them ‘giants.’”
“The giants multiply rapidly when the first one appears, and one of them possesses the ‘Weave.’”
“The giants who have grown in power stimulate humanity and start a war with God.”
Moirai said with emotionless eyes.
“It’s all as planned, Frontier.”
“It’s already happened several times.”
“The giant resisted God and sacrificed humanity. Do you know how many people died because of that?”
I said.
“How dare you guys turn humans into usable puppets.”
I can hear the youthfulness in my voice.
“so?”
Moirai in the middle said.
“As you said, we survive by relying on human faith. What does that mean? Frontier, not all truth is helpful. Especially in cases like this. No matter what trials we faced, humans always relied on us, believed in us, and followed us. “Are you really dissatisfied with the fact that I slightly increased that feeling?”
“It made my heart grow somewhat? Do you think that creating external monsters, taking over all human territory, and killing countless humans in the process can be called something like that?”
“Of course. In fact, humans’ religious faith has soared since then. At that time, no one wanted the truth. Everyone hoped to receive better divine powers and longed for more divine affection. Frondier, for humans, truth is of no use when there is no room for it. “The fact that you faced this truth is ultimately proof that humans are full.”
My fingertips trembled. A smile appeared on my lips. I was so angry that I ended up laughing.
Moirai on the right said.
“Frondier, if you hadn’t done this, humans could have lived a decent life.”
“Inside the breeding farm you guys built.”
“okay. “Instead of trying to get out of the kennel, you are putting the lives of the entire human race to death.”
The war between gods and humans.
This has become unavoidable.
It has already happened several times in the past, and it is the same this time as well.
“Frondier, just ask one question.”
Moirai in the middle said.
“Is this agreed upon? “What is your deviation?”
“… … what?”
“All humans want to get out of the aviary.”
I was momentarily speechless. I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t know what to say.
Moirai on the left said while looking at Selena.
“Those who believe and follow you like this woman, those who are strong, have tacit consent, but what about those who are weaker than that? Do they really want to leave the kennel?”
“So you’re saying it’s not?”
“of course. You left your livestock in the wild and prayed for a good life. It’s obvious that I’m going to die. “Isn’t this the height of hypocrisy?”
When I heard those words from Moirai.
Ironically, I recalled Hella’s words.
─The Empire is still unaware of the truth and is only preoccupied with the immediate crisis. I’m just busy taking care of myself. You probably know this better than anyone else, Frondier.
─It is a war that has already been lost. And humanity is weaker now than it was then. Why should I side with a side I can’t win?
Either you’re mocking me or you’re not.
The gods have already decided the outcome of this war.
It is the defeat of humanity, the death of countless human beings.
Rather than a prediction, it seems as if he knows.
That’s what fate is like.
The three goddesses of fate, Moirai, have already foreseen this, and things are proceeding according to the order.
“Would it be better for humanity to tremble in fear without knowing when the monsters outside will break through the barrier? Do gods really say things like that?”
In response to my question, Moirai’s expression was still flat.
“Wouldn’t it be better than dying?”
When Moirai said so.
I felt a huge cliff cracking in my heart.
Even the slightest will I had to have a conversation with God completely collapsed.
No matter what happens now, God will not be able to get over this cliff.
“… … Moirai.”
I saw the three goddesses just like that.
The anger completely disappeared.
Moirai is no longer the object of my anger.
“… … .”
Ironically, only then did Moirai’s expression change slightly.
“Frondier, no matter what you decide, nothing will change. Now the gods will begin to descend one after another. You picked the wrong place to come. “Didn’t you want to protect humans?”
“… … .”
The meaning of Moirai’s words is simple.
go away.
If we go back to humanity right now, we might still save a few people.
Isn’t that your role?
Now that Selena is captured, the only way for me to save her is to negotiate with Moirai.
Moirai knows that, which is why he incites my anger.
So that it is difficult to make a proper judgment before anger arises.
In order to make the right decision, continue to spend time.
“… … Mr. Frontier.”
The voice heard at that time.
I looked up and saw Selena.
“I am an escort. Mr. Frontier.”
Selena said.
Those words were so ominous that my eyes trembled.
“Now, what do you want to say by saying that?”
“The role of escort is to protect, not to be protected.”
“Be quite. “Don’t think nonsense.”
I warned Selena. I looked at Moirai’s attitude with him.
Moirai just stayed still. After all, they know I won’t sacrifice Selena. So since it’s a waste of time anyway, I’m staying quiet.
“Selena, don’t think I’m going to abandon you.”
“… … Hehehe.”
Selena laughed there.
“I was always curious. Frontier. “Why do you keep me by your side?”
“… … What are you talking about? “Like you said, you have to protect me.”
“no. That can’t be possible. Frontier, you are fooling yourself.”
“You’re lying, I am!”
“Mr. Frontier.”
Selena looked at me there sadly.
“I am not faster than Heukcheon’s reaction speed.”
“… … !”
“A very close combat that Frontier praised me for. In the first place, Frontier does not allow enemies to reach that distance. “Nothing happens once in a while.”
I was about to object to Selena’s words, but my mouth stopped.
It’s because of her expression.
That sad face that made the objection meaningless covered my mouth.
“There is no such thing as a bodyguard protecting someone stronger than yourself. So I wanted to become stronger somehow. To suit your escort. “He believed that I would become that strong and kept me by his side.”
“Selena.”
“Frondier, I followed you to the end of hell.”
“Selena… … !”
“Please let me die here.”
Selena’s determined face.
I looked at that face with trembling hands.
His face was so clean, without even a speck of dust,
‘… … uh?’
Because it’s so clean.
I never notice,
‘… … performance!’
Then I saw it.
There’s something in Selena’s mouth.
Selena gave me a very short wink.
Kwaduk─
I chewed something in my mouth and swallowed it.
No, I know what that is.
That’s a mana crystal.
Something I created that is on par with Dragon Heart,
Paaa!!
The Penelope cloth that Selena was wearing shines.
“what… … !”
Moirai also opened his eyes wide and was surprised.
Selena is swirling as if exploding with enormous mana, and her eyes are shining blue along with it.
Whoosh!
Selena shoots the needle again, and Moirai avoids it by turning his head.
In that moment, Selena’s hands move.
Ten Cape Hex

Tuk,
Moirai’s fingers grabbed her neck.

wrist.
Fighting.
When it reaches your elbows,
“Kaaa!!”
The Moirai on the left let out a strange scream.
At that time, Selena was already completely free of her restraints.
next,
Shoulders, neck, spine, pelvis, knees and ankles.
Selena’s fingers penetrate Moirai’s entire right side,
“aaah!!!”
Moirai was like a deflated balloon, distorted in the direction my finger touched.
It was more like paper folding than a person collapsing.
There,
Wow!
Selena stepped on Moirai’s right foot. Thanks to this, the Moirai could not be folded and creaked into a bizarre shape.
“Moirai, goddess of fate.”
Selena said, looking at Moirai’s eyes that turned upside down.
“Why am I not expecting this?”
“… … !”
Selena’s words instantly made my head spin.
‘Selena’s right.’
Why didn’t Moirai predict that?
Is this situation really beneficial to Moirai?
No, that can’t be true.
Just now, Moirai really couldn’t read Selena’s actions.
I could see through her attack just a moment ago as if I could see the future, so why couldn’t I predict her action of swallowing the mana crystal?
… … The difference.
─So you have to make the decision. Only you can decide how to accept what they did and what decisions to make.
─I just remember this. That you are not a hero.
─It shouldn’t be like that.
I remembered Hestia’s words.
Why did she show me the past of giants?
It somewhat answered my curiosity, but what did it mean for this war?
… … No, not in the first place.
Why did the giants summon ‘me’?
‘… … ah!’
I shouted as soon as it occurred to me.
“Selena! Come into the shadows!”
“yes!”
I kicked the ground. With that one step, he steps right in front of Moirai.
“You guy!!”
Avoid the attacks of Moirai in the middle,
“Menosorpo.”
Weaving, Menosorpho
gram
Install Gram behind Moirai,
“joy!”
Moirai in the middle noticed it right away and looked away.
Sigh!
Plop!
The small sword I was holding was stabbed defenselessly into my abdomen.
The Moirai on the right had Selena’s needle sticking out from the shadows.
Although I was aware of the quietly created gram of weaving in advance, I was unable to deal with a simple attack from my short sword.
Although I was able to avoid Selena’s attack a while ago, I cannot dodge it after containing the mana crystal.
“… … you.”
I spoke to Moirai, who was suffering while looking at the sword in her abdomen.
“I am excluded from the fate that can be seen.”
