I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.94 EP4. Twisted Destiny (2)

“Did you see the stars again?”

The open curtains, the moonlight shining through them.

Since it is an area away from the city center, the stars are clearly visible in the sky.

That was the sight the only girl in the room looked up at until she stepped in.

“Lani again… … You’re talking like you know me.”

No, even after he entered the room.

His gaze was still fixed on the night sky that stretched out in the sky.

“I know it well. Whenever I had time, I kept looking up at the sky… … . It seems that the hobby is still there after three years.”

As always, Anatomy speaks fluently.

It was an attitude I took in anticipation of a response, but, as always, the Transcendent only asked questions in a blunt voice.

“Why did you come here? The camp is still going on and the kids are going to have to be controlled… … .”

“Oh well, all the kids went to bed. By this time, usually everyone is going to sleep. The only ones awake in this hotel are me and the boss.”

“… … is it.”

A transcendent who quietly answers.

His gaze was still directed out the window, but there was an unfamiliar bitterness in his voice.

It was as if he realized that he had forgotten even such a simple fact, in spite of the time he had spent so far.

“… … Did that guy go too?”

Anatomi, who had taken her eyes off her, looked out the window and asked quietly.

The answer came back after a while.

“… okay.”

“You’re gone, you bastard.”

Despite the late reply, the response came out so quickly that it was reflexive.

An attitude mixed with irritation that I couldn’t even think of taking in front of the master.

But the Transcendent did not reproach such a vassal.

The anger wasn’t aimed at him in the first place, and he had a vague understanding of why he was reacting like that.

“You look angry.”

“Ah what. I can’t help it. You know the boss, right? I really hate doing pointless things.”

Clearly, he is an opportunist who only acts when he has the chance.

As such, he has a very good eye for risk, so his opinion is very objective in most situations.

As much as she did not doubt her own judgment, Anatomi did not feel any other guilt about her actions.

“If I go anyway, it will be nothing but death. No matter how bad the executive is, he is still an executive and has done a lot of bad things.

Even if his actions were emotional and radical, if he didn’t, he would have forced himself to go to the traitor’s place.

Even if you don’t like him, can’t you just let him pay attention to useless things as long as you serve the same person?

“But I never imagined that Shadow would fall for that guy.”

Yes, he’s been living as an evil all this time, and he’s been patiently waiting only for those who will take him away.

Who would have thought that he would have been looking for someone to hand over the leash himself?

“I must have liked Brad that much. For the first time, he thought he was going to hypothesize everything directly from his side.”

“… … You seem to have no idea. In effect, she switched from the boss to that guy.”

“I have stepped down from the front line since the war that day. We will come back someday when the time is right, but that’s not the case right now, so we just leave it up to each individual to decide.”

Coincidentally, he does not have the compulsion to suppress them, nor does he have the desire to do so.

Since he had already received a ‘promise’ from his partner, there would be no way he could use his power by his own judgment.

“… It is your own judgment.”

Anatomy exhaled a small breath in response to such an opinion.

Then he raised his glasses and looked up at the moonlit night she stared at.

It’s a really bright moon.

To the extent that they can’t even think of a tragic and grueling battle that would take place in a place their eyes could not reach.

“boss.”

As she recalled such a fight, Anatomi realized that the time had come, and asked her what was going to come to her.

“That guy’s ability. Isn’t that replay?”

in a serious voice.

About a guy who harbors a possibility that even himself, who wants to analyze everything objectively, couldn’t even imagine.

“No, let’s change the question a bit.”

Maybe that’s a possibility.

Maybe it was because I didn’t know it was the moment that brought out the feeling of ‘love’ from this transcendent.

“Did you give him your power after the war?”

“…….”

A transcendent who is silent on his questions.

Is it because he was stabbed, or because the answer requires a lot of thought?

“..why do you think so?”

What came back was a question that was neither positive nor negative.

Anatomi, who felt that his assumptions turned into certainty, said with a cold smile.

“When he pushed his limits, he felt something similar to what he felt for you.”

The overwhelming feeling that even a girl’s body could not hide, emanating from a higher being far beyond humans.

It’s just for humans… … .Is it reasonable to say that I felt it all from a dying human being?

‘But that’s not an illusion.’

At that time. When the dying body was enforced beyond being corrected by regenerative power… … . The chills of facing it still remained in his body even at this moment.

And the only time I’ve ever felt that way in my life was when I realized the power of the Transcendent.

However, unlike the one she used, the phenomenon she saw at the time was very unnatural.

Unlike cause and effect, it is completely corrected, and even memories are blown away except for those who are affected.

Because the power he had was only focused on making the result of ‘death’ non-existent.

‘I don’t know the result, but the process is messed up.’

At that time, the black lines connected to his body would be a phenomenon that was close to tying the fate of making the death of the capable person into a non-existent one.

If it’s really the ability he has, the ability to interfere with fate like the one in front of me.

“If so, what are you going to do?”

“I have to kill you.”

An immediate answer to the repeated question.

“If he really stole your power, I will kill you and give it back to you.”

“… … Seriously.”

“Yes, I am serious.”

The loyalty he had to her, who hated humans, was sincere.

That doesn’t change even if the organization collapses. Even if it’s a human who hates to be loved by her, she can somehow suppress it through loyalty.

However, if that person is the cause of tarnishing the status of my idol, the story is different.

It would be the duty of a servant to risk the life of the master to block the wrong choice.

“So, be honest. Boss, did you really pass on your powers to him?”

So even if the current attitude goes against her heart, nothing will change.

“… … Anatomy.”

Feeling so nervous and waiting for an answer, her mood was as quiet as before.

He just calls his name, remains silent and still looks up at the window.

“Do you believe in fate?”

What was spit out after that was also not a sure answer.

But this will also be necessary to get the answer you want. After thinking for a while, Anatomy answered her words.

“… … As a scholar named Piersimon Laplace said: If we knew the exact position and momentum of every atom in the universe, we could explain everything that happened in the past and present, and even predict the future.”

A word that corresponds to ‘determinism’, in which virtually everything is decided.

In modern science, it is said that it is impossible due to the limitations of observation, but it was an opinion raised because it is at an ‘unknown stage’ to the present humanity.

The one in front of Anatomy right now is the one who can correct the past that happened before he came to the present.

She, who can correct the history of the world without even a single atomic error, can be said to be the most suitable existence for Pierre Simon Laplace’s ‘Devil of Laplace’.

“Yeah, no matter how brilliant a scientist, once he meets you, he must believe in fate.

“Yeah, I was able to read things you couldn’t.”

Angol Moa. A being with the power to foresee the fate that will come later, and to twist the years that have passed as desired.

Each time that power is exercised, a world is destroyed and reconstructed, and as its name suggests, it is worthy of being called a ‘god of destruction’.

“And also my death.”

Moreover, to the extent that he does not exclude himself as an object.

“Still, with the boss’s ability, such a death can be avoided… … .”

“No, my original intention was to die at the hands of Justice that day.”

3 years.

A confession made to a loyal servant after a long period of time.

At that moment, his face hardened, but a detached smile was drawn on her face.

“…to greet you, you thought?”

“You would have thought that I could change the future with my power at the decisive moment, but coincidentally, I was sick of that way at the time.”

No matter how much you modify the present, another fate will be created in the modified world.

Even in that fate, danger will come one day, and if you avoid that risk, you will only face another danger in the distant future.

And twisting fate is really exhausting a lot of power.

“On that day, even if I use my power to win the war… … . In the end, it will only be weaker, waiting for the mortal time to come.”

It has a mission to destroy mankind, but it is also a fate that will eventually be pushed to the limit and run aground.

In the twists and turns of fate repeated over and over again, she realized her own wretchedness and came to doubt her own existence.

In the end, if fate had a set limit, wouldn’t it be meaningless any longer? and do.

Unable to shake off such thoughts, handing over the title to the enemy’s chief was the ultimate outcome that should have been met in that war.

“… Yes, the reason I am alive today is because something I did not expect even happened at that moment.”

But it happened.

Even the Transcendental who foresaw the future could not have expected it.

“At that time, he threw himself to protect the boss… Are you talking about?”

“Yeah, and what you saw from Brad, I also confirmed it.”

A transcendent looking down at his hand as if looking back on that day.

Even though it was a small hand, she remembered the sensation it had on her hand at the time.

“Anatomy,

Destiny is much more complicated than you think. If you don’t know how to handle it delicately, like a tangled thread

Hard to solve… … . At that time, what I did to him was to unleash my strength in the thread that was twisted in the process of defying the fate of death.

It was just released using it.”

Energy that contains vast amounts of information that cannot be touched by human hands and cannot even be interpreted by the human eye.

The moment when I touched the recording with my own hands.

“And, the moment I touched it, I realized it.”

In her empty eyes reminiscent of that touch, gradually it began to be revealed that it was a color.

“Among as many capable people as the stars in the sky, I have arrived on this far-flung planet and met a person with the same power as me.”

“!?”

Anatomy realizes everything late and is furious.

But at that moment, when the face of the Transcendent turned towards him, he felt his breath suffocate and shut his mouth.

“Yeah, right before my death, I, who could even see the future of this world, met the only being who couldn’t see the future.”

There was neither a transcendent nor an authority.

What was painted on her face was a pure girl’s smile.

At the moment of looking back on that time, even the transcendent who understands everything, has been reduced to an ignorant and pure being.

“People like you will probably call the situation a ‘miracle’.”

Even himself, who transcends humans, faced an existence he would call ‘the unknown’.

Wouldn’t it be enough emotion to induce the ‘curiosity’ that keeps the insignificant life alive for the transcendent who has no regrets in my life?
