chapter 1
prologue
pure white space.
As if the whole thing was created by someone’s artificial power, it roared dangerously every time a threatening air wave spread.
Kwaaang!
Someone crashed into the wall, and a huge roar that occurred a step later reverberated throughout the space.
Truly incredible speed and destructive power.
However, the result was far beyond the physical phenomenon.
“hmm… .”
However, the old man, presumed to be the person who was pinned to the wall, only let out a short saliva as he patted his long cloth.
In the macroscopic world, the old man would have turned to blood and the fragments of the wall would have been scattered along with the thick dust at the moment of the collision, but none of that happened in this space.
“Is this how it ends?”
The old man walked out of the wall, which had turned into a crumpled drawing paper, and said calmly.
It was an extremely calm tone, as if to show that the cause of the drool earlier was not pain, but merely traces of anguish.
“Sounds like you expected it.”
A voice whose gender cannot be easily determined coming from the opposite direction.
The fact that the distance between him and the old man was out of the realm of cognition clearly showed the uniqueness of this space.
“If you look at a human being who is wet with inertia for thousands of years… , that’s about what people like you would expect.”
As if he felt that he was degrading himself like a ‘human’, the voice’s protagonist, a pretty young man, had deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.
Either that or not. The old man’s words continued.
“Because we are not perfect, like the illusions created by the ‘birth bodies’. okay… You came in and threatened me, what are you going to do now?”
“I’ll get rid of you and make this place mine.”
“Heh heh, get rid of it? You really look like a human.”
The old man’s reaction was perfectly normal.
Both beings with whom they were talking in the first place disappear. Because they were people who didn’t have the concept.
“If you dare to break the ‘imprinted discomfort’ and do something like this, you know very well what the consequences will be in this place.”
I couldn’t know That was the biggest reason the young man chose this place as a stage.
Seeing him without words, the old man just said hehehehe. I just laughed one more time.
It was because he had already guessed half of the young man’s thoughts. The words a moment ago were just something close to a monologue to convince oneself.
“I see… It was… .”
Nodding his head and staring at the young man, his eyes lingered, even for a moment, in a way that no one could handle.
However, in the midst of a few giggles, the life that disappeared completely. Back again with a calm face color.
“Ask me one.”
A young man nodding his head as if to try.
“What is the reason you chose this place among many space ecosystems?”
“Because it met all the conditions. Old, strong, and varied… Need more explanation?”
The old man sighed and shook his head.
“That too. What a beautiful place.”
Surprisingly, the old man relaxed with those words and spoke the exact opposite of the vicious killing he had just shown.
“Take care of it.”
While using the word ‘process’ rather than ‘death’ as in the words of an ordinary creature.
It was a peripheral look, as if watching office activities mixed with emotions and lingering feelings.
The young man also seemed to anticipate the old man’s reaction. Without a moment’s delay, he lowered his hand.
Damn-!
The intangible power that stretched out from the young man’s hand began to split not only the old man who did not resist, but also the entire space made up of his images in two.
In a space that scatters like small cube fragments. The young man’s mouth opened as he saw the old man disappearing while still maintaining his shape.
“I act for the purpose of my existence. You, who give up your existence for pity or something, must be more human than I am.”
As if he was different from the old man, he chanted as if he had promised himself, and disappeared along with the collapsing space.
In order to embark on a plan he had been drawing for a long time, with the distant universe he had stolen.
