I ran through the ruins at full speed. The place I arrived was originally the main chapel of Seonghwangcheong, but it was a wide space with only traces of walls and pillars left.

As luck would have it, there was a sacred spirit group there.

“That, that person is......!”

“Look over there! Yes!”

“His Highness, Seonggyeong has arrived!”

“Ailet......!”

The joy of returning safely and joining the party was not a priority for me right now.

“What about Terry?”

I asked while looking at everyone surrounding me.

I couldn’t see Tesilid’s face. Instead, I could see a huge black crack beyond them.

It was torn horizontally and seemed to be laughing like a monster’s mouth.

I felt ominous again. Unbearable.

Should I come up with an answer myself first, or should I hear the answer first?

“That is.......”

The latter was slightly faster. Marquis Recandro opened his mouth.

“His Highness the Prince entered the crack alone.”

“......Terry alone, over there? Is that true?”

“Yes. At the time, he looked a little strange, perhaps due to the influence of the corruption, but judging by his knight uniform, it was definitely the Prince.”

“.......”

While I remained silent, others carefully added information.

“Your Majesty, just a moment ago, cracks were appearing in the air like glass breaking.......”

“Not long after Lord Tesilid entered, all the cracks except that one disappeared.”

“The gate seems to be closing now.”

Thanks to that, I was able to make a judgment on the current situation. [‘World-Building Words’ says that Tesilid is the lead and is suppressing the Chaos God.] Suppressing the Chaos God.

Tesilid.

Becoming the lead.

My chest swelled up as I realized the situation.

My lungs were full and there was no more room to suck in air. The moment I had no choice but to spit it out.

“Ah, this idiot again! Anyway, I’m going crazy, really!”

“Yes, Your Majesty?”

The people around me were startled by my sincerity that came out without a filter.

<Calm down, Ailet.>

That’s good advice. Now is the time to do something like a commander.

“Hoo, haa.”

I wiped my face with both heated hands.

I opened my mouth to everyone while the dry wash briefly washed away my excitement.

“All troops, rejoice. Armageddon ended with our victory.”

“......!”

“If this continues, the Chaos God will be sealed forever, so the Serentra Continent is now safe. It’s all thanks to Tesilid Argent. He saved the world.”

It was a situation where I had to cheer. However.

“Then, Lord Tesilid.......”

“He sacrificed himself.”

Unable to hold back, the words came out of my mouth as if I was chewing them.

“Te, Lord Tesilid.......”

I immediately felt the heavy air of solemnity settle over the area.

A chaotic world tends to create heroes, and it is inevitable that heroes will sacrifice themselves.

Now he will be glorified and commemorated in heroic epics.

But I don’t want to mourn for him yet.

I turned my back on the Divine Word Lord. I looked back at the black crack with eyes that were completely dry.

“He saved the world. Now it’s time to save him.”

“Yes, yes......!”

“I’ll be back.”

It was time to go find Mia.

“Yes, yes......!”

“Ailet!”

“Huh!”

I jumped into the crack without looking back.

The moment I passed through the fluid barrier, all the desperate cries calling me were blocked. [<System> I entered the dungeon ‘Chaos of the End’ of unknown difficulty.] The world was extremely dark, with only a rumbling sound that made my ears ring as if I had entered underwater. I moved forward as if I was walking through a deep-sea cave.

Naturally, Chaos of the End did not welcome me as an intruder. The creeping darkness cleverly burrowed into my sensory organs.

I stumbled for a moment in confusion.

“Ugh.”

<Eyelet? Are you okay?>

“I’m okay.”

No, actually, I’m not okay.

As my senses became distorted, something paradoxical happened.

Light and color appeared in my vision that had been dark as if my vision had been paralyzed, and clear sounds penetrated my ears that had only had a low ringing like tinnitus.

My disturbed vision and hearing poured unfamiliar scenes into my head as they pleased.

Hallucinations and auditory hallucinations took over me.

‘I wonder if they’re going to attack my mind.’

There was no way to avoid it anyway. In that case, I had no choice but to overcome it.

I didn’t resist the illusions, but rather actively accepted them.

The various living creatures used as materials for the statues were bleeding and crying in pain.

It was a place filled with beautiful works of art, but more horrifying than any biological experiment. I knew at a glance where this place was.

The dungeon of the demon sculptor Silvan, the sculptor’s studio. There, a handsome man with silver hair was dying. - Is this the end... ... . Tesilid, who considered death as the end without even an inch of doubt.

That attitude was the only one in all timelines. He was the first Tesilid Argent, who was extinguishing his breathing and heartbeat right before my eyes. - ‘Strict Order and Good’, I hope that if I had another chance... ... . With an unfinished prayer, the light in his eyes faded away. It was the beginning of a tedious regression.

Immediately, deaths in another timeline unfolded. - The Chanyoung Knights were annihilated again.

- Let's think calmly. Captain Gadvil is not a good commander. And he doesn't change.

- I didn't know. Vice-Captain Recto considered me a thorn in his side... ... .

- I have to eliminate my comrades' power. I have to do it all. It was just like the original.

When he was a member of the Chanyoung Knights, he had to face death three times in seven rounds due to Captain Gadvil's stupid strategy, once due to Vice-Captain Recto's scheme, and three times due to his comrades' mistakes, betrayals, and forced sacrifices.

It's painful to watch.

His deaths, which burrow into my mind without permission, are so painful to me.

Just watching is so suffocating, so how must it have been ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) for you who experienced it yourself?

But why am I seeing his death? Who on earth is unfolding these things in my head? [The ‘World-Building Word Spirit’ explains that this is because the consciousness of the Chaos Demon and Tesilid Argent is highly synchronized.]

[The ‘World-Building Word Spirit’ says that this is a state between the spiritual and material worlds, where the will of the owner is realized as a phenomenon.] Will is realized as a phenomenon... ... .

What I keep seeing are his deaths. That means his will is death.

‘That means Tesilid is wishing for death now.’

He is about to die.

With the Chaos Demon.

Then I must hurry.

<Ailet, can you walk?>

“You should walk.”

If I can’t walk, I will crawl.

With each step I take, he died before my eyes or in my head again.

Dying... ... .

Dying again... ... .

Dying again. -Here... ...there is no other way. He even took his own life.

“Ah.......”

At this point, I felt a little, no, a lot, like I was going crazy.

I’ve already seen Reed die. It’s too hard anymore.

Without any consideration for my mental state, the end of the timeline keeps pounding into my head.

In a field where heavy rain was pouring down, Regares’ sword pierced Tesilid’s left chest.

I shouted at him to stop, but there was no way to reach the past memoirs.

That’s how the 16th episode ended and the next episode passed.

The 17th episode.

This time was a little different. Was it to give my tortured mind a brief rest?

Instead of death appearing right before my eyes, I saw him living in that timeline.

The 17th episode’s timeline without Reed.

There was someone there who didn't appear in the original, someone I didn't know. - Do you know Aylet Rodelin?

- Have you ever heard of the name Aylet Rodelin... ... .

- Do you have a daughter named Aylet... ... . No, I'm not. Excuse me. In that timeline, Tesilid wandered the world, abandoning his duties as a paladin. And he came looking for me.

His life was as dry as a wandering knight in the salt desert, searching for a mirage. - Tesilid Argent, I will hold you accountable for your apostasy. The one who ended his life was the Order of the Order, who feared the drain of power to other countries and decided to execute him.

In the forest on a chilly winter night. He was observed to death by the paladins surrounding me.

His last thoughts as he lost his breath on the cold floor were as follows. - Aylet... ... . Where are you... ... ?

- Why does everyone say they don't remember you? The world seems to be deceiving me.

- The whole world... seems to hate me.

- It seems to want my death... ... . Haha... ... . Like a squeaky laugh, his illusions shattered into particles like ash.

I walk again.

I collect his death with every step.

Many rounds have passed.

At the end of the 85th round where he saved the world, he closed his eyes with a happy smile for the first time.

He believed that since he had accomplished his mission, he would be given rest as a just reward. However, he was thoroughly betrayed.

Thinking that he was responsible for the broken promise, he saved the world again and again. And each time, he sought out Muriel for the most efficient death.

It was only at the end of the 88th round that he finally obtained a piece of truth through Muriel’s mouth. From then on, he spent his time wandering, obsessed with the Bible of Truth. - How can I stop regressing?

- Just save the world. I wasn't satisfied with the answer. So I asked again in the next round. - How can I stop the regression?

- Just save the world. I asked again. - How can I stop the regression?

- If I save the world... ... . Asking, asking again.

The obsessive and blind waste of timelines continues. - How can I... ... stop the regression?

- Just save the world.

- I saved it! I saved it now and all the dungeons are disappearing! But why! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

- I failed to save the world.

- Don't make me laugh! I saved it. I saved it five times! In the midst of his screams, he was buried along with time and space. That was the end of the 93rd round.

And then the next one, the 94th round.

He, who had become completely barren like a salt desert, stood before the Bible of truth again, looking like a corpse. - What are you curious about, you who came to seek answers that cannot be obtained from God?

-... ... . I felt like I was going crazy from the endless questions.

At this point, I wanted to cling to Tesilid and shout.

‘Stop. Stop abusing you now. That’s enough questions. Ask me something else, please something else.’

I know it’s a plea that won’t be heard.

I know it’s a past that won’t change.

In the original, he had repeated the same question up to the 94th time.

So it wouldn’t work.

I closed my eyes and covered my ears in despair. Of course, there was no way to escape the illusions that were directly pierced into my brain.

But.

But.

Surprisingly, Tesilid listened to my plea.

I asked ‘something else.’ -... ... Where is Ailet Rodelin?

Special privilege for the possessed
