Yes, love can save humanity.

[Faced with the fact that her true identity has been exposed, Koyanskaya's flattering expression suddenly turned ferocious, like a vicious beast that has been forced into a dead end with nowhere to escape and has decided to fight to the death]

[“...I didn’t expect my identity to be exposed so quickly, it’s amazing.” Perhaps it was because her reason overwhelmed her anger, Gao Yanskaya calmed down for a long time and sighed softly, “...Since you already know my identity, what are you going to do to me?”]

[“It depends on what kind of value you can provide, businessman.” You give the Gaoyanskaya step at the right time and say, “Tell me, what can you bring?”]

[“Weapons, guards, bodyguards, and assistants.” Gao Yanskaya answered bluntly, “I can also be a spy... But judging from your power, it seems that you don’t need me to do this kind of work.”]

[“I need weapons, weapons to restrain wild beasts.”]

["Bound the beast?"]

[Gao Yanskaya's expression changed. Your request has touched her bottom line. She doesn't know whether you are teasing her or you really want something.]

[“Yes, it’s a weapon that can bind wild beasts.” You said, “Dusk has devoured other disasters and turned into a more dangerous monster. I need a weapon that can seal this aspect of his ability.”]

[“I see… I misunderstood.” Gao Yanskaya quickly understood the information you provided and asked, “Then may I ask, is it a ‘wolf’ or a ‘snake’?”]

【""Wolf"."】

[“I do have the right weapons to deal with furry beasts.” Koyanskaya said, “I wonder what price you can pay me?”]

[“The Wolf can be given to you. If you want to grow better, a complete Wolf is an excellent material for you, right?”]

[“As expected of you, Lord God, you are so generous!” Facing the price you offered, Gao Yanskaya’s eyes lit up, and she immediately returned to her business mode, smiling and saying, “Then please stay for a while and make the best weapons for you, big boss!”]

[“It should be so.” Seeing that Gao Yanskaya was hooked by the empty promise you threw and took the bait without hesitation, you did not continue to make big promises, but nodded and said, “You can travel freely. If there is anything you want to buy, remember to start from the formal channels.”]

[“Oh my, oh my, I am so happy for your kindness, how could I break the rules? Since the business has been discussed, please show me the room. I will not get involved in your private affairs with Ms. Ophelia~”]

[Seeing that Gao Yanskaya and the alien gods led by Ophelia took the initiative to cut ties, you followed the trend and nodded to Otlinde, who was the most meticulous in her work, and signaled her to take Gao Yanskaya to the room.]

[“Ophelia Farmsolone.”]

[After the variable Goyanskaya left, you looked at Ophelia who was still in a daze and said seriously: "Do you want to make up for your mistake?"]

[“…” Facing your question, Ophelia was silent for a long time before she dared to ask, “Is there any chance of redemption for me who has become attached to ‘Twilight’?”]

[“Although ‘Dusk’ is bound to you, it has not yet broken free of its bondage.” You said, “You still have room for redemption.”]

[Faced with your answer, Ophelia's gray eyes regained some color and asked, "Excuse me... What do I need you to do? Remove my magic eye?"]

[“I don’t have the power to ask you to make sacrifices, and neither do the Nordic countries.” As a collaborator of the Nordic countries, you, unlike Koyanskaya, have the power to choose. ”]

[“I have a proposal here.” You continued, “As a magician with the qualifications of a Master, are you willing to follow my request and summon a Servant at the designated location?”]

[“A designated place...?” Ophelia was a little confused, but she quickly reacted and said in surprise, “Do you mean... you want to...?”]

[“That’s right.” You responded to her guess with a smile and said, “I would like to ask you to set up a ‘game’ for me.”]

[“The name of this ‘game’ is to lure the snake out of its hole.”]

[After understanding your thoughts, Ophelia immediately nodded and said, "I will cooperate with you."]

[“Then, please stay in the ‘House of Fire’ for a while, Ophelia, and cooperate with our work here.”]

[Ophelia nodded and then asked: "Do you know anything about the fantasy tree?"]

[“The Illusion Tree is the foundation for the birth of the new ‘Humanity’ and is also necessary for the survival of the Lostbelt. I also know this knowledge.” You said seriously, “I will complete the work of protecting the Illusion Tree.”]

[“Then…” Perhaps because she was shocked by your intelligence-gathering ability that seemed like clairvoyance, Ophelia asked awkwardly, “Can I exchange intelligence with other collaborators in the Lostbelt?”]

[“As long as you are willing to cooperate with the work, exchanging information is fine.” You replied, “However, if you want to travel, you need the Valkyrie to take care of you the whole time. Is this condition acceptable?”]

[“This is what I, who have been tainted by Dusk, should do.” Ophelia nodded and said, “I will follow your rules.”]

[“Then, please let me, on behalf of Northern Europe, welcome you.” You took off the gray wide-brimmed hat that was hiding your face, saluted to Ophelia, and said, “My name is Charles, Ms. Ophelia Famsolone.”]

[Although Ophelia was surprised by your overly young appearance, she still returned the greeting gracefully and said, "Thank you for your tolerance, Lord Ciel."]

[With your not-so-sophisticated but sufficiently practical performance and strategy, you successfully convinced the two representatives from the alien gods.]

[The key to "Dusk" is in your hands]

Chapter 25 See you at the crossroads of destiny (two in one)

[That night]

["Charles, what exactly do you want to do?"]

[The Valkyrie, who had been kept in the dark by you until now and only knew part of the truth when the two alien god representatives arrived, came to your room and raised a question.]

[“I never thought that you, Sister Hildreth, would be the one asking me this.”]

[You look at your sister, who has not met you in private since you were six years old due to various changes in work, and who has the most intense and uncontrollable feelings for you, and you can't help but feel a little emotional]

[“Slud and Ortlinde are also very nervous, because the news you revealed today is really huge.” Slud also said with emotion, “I really didn’t expect that you would know the fact that Surut was about to escape earlier than us.”]

[“If we just want to keep the Nordic Empire alive, we only need to seal or remove Ophelia’s Mystic Eye so that Surut can’t escape.”]

[“Why did you want to set up a trap in advance and lure Surut’s soul into it? You are not the kind of person who likes to do unnecessary things.” Hirud asked seriously, “Tell me, do you have other plans?”]

[“I can’t hide it from Sister Hildreth.” You sighed, and said, “But, I won’t tell you about the plan.”]

[“Because if you say it, not only will we oppose it, but it will also be extremely easy to overturn it, right?”]

[“Am I so easy to be seen through?” You said in surprise, “I didn’t expect that Sister Hildreth could deduce the reason so easily.”]

[“It’s not that I’m great... It’s because there are too few variables and too much information.” At this point, Hilde’s eyes dimmed and he sighed, “In this world that has been stagnant for three thousand years, there are too few possibilities for development...”]

[“Although I don’t want to admit it, the reason why we are in the Lostbelt is because we lack these variables and possibilities...”]

[You listened to Hildreth's sigh and showed a surprised look for the first time.]

[Because you never thought that this sister who always acted too naive and too cute actually had such a deep understanding of the world and you.]

[It's like all her innocence is just a mentality adjusted to keep herself alive]

[“Can you tell me when you knew about this?” Hildreth asked, “When you were 6 years old? Or when you were old enough to understand things? Or… in my dream… in my previous life?”]

[“…From the beginning.” But after looking at her sister’s hopeful face, which looked as if she would accept whatever you said, she hesitated for a long time and replied softly, “I already knew it from the moment I was born.”]

[“Since birth…” Hildreth was stunned, as if all his emotions were stripped away. He said in a daze, “Do you mean… when we… first met?”]

[“Yes, I knew it since then.” You confessed, “So, from the beginning, I didn’t have any desire to survive. I just wanted to live a more exciting life in this world.”]

[“It’s just... I didn’t expect that my death would be like a dream, and it would start all over again after I woke up.”]

[“With the hope that everything could start over, I decided to try to make more changes.”]

[“Unexpectedly, after getting a second chance at life, I once again lost the chance to change when I was fifteen years old…”]

[“I’m sorry…” Hearing you mention the death in the second round, Hildre couldn’t help but say, “If I had paid more attention to your condition at that time, maybe I wouldn’t have let you die.”]

[“Sister Hildreth, there is no need to blame yourself, and there is no need to apologize to me, because this is just my personal choice.” You smiled and comforted Hildreth, “Besides, in this life, haven’t I become a child raised by my sisters?”]

[“To be honest, I hate being treated as a child, and I hate being disciplined even more, so I’ve always been planning pranks to cause trouble for my sisters.”]

[“But that’s just a thought. After all, I can’t really do something as childish as playing a prank.”]

[“Later, I had the idea of ​​making a bigger change and making the world a better place. As a result, by some strange coincidences along the way, it became what it is now.”]

[Hilde listened to your confession and was silent for a long time]

[She is not as you expected, complaining or angry about being kept in the dark and feeling distrusted]

[“So... you’ve been thinking about this since you were a kid?”]

[“Well, in this life, I was already thinking about these things when I was about six years old…”]

[Before you finish your words, you are interrupted by a hug coming towards you]

[She responded to your confession with a deep hug]

[You can't help but feel emotional]

[The three Valkyries are indeed sisters. When they can’t help themselves, they always use hugs that are strong enough to make people scream in pain to express their overflowing emotions.]

[Faced with this genuine hug, you who are used to pretending can only apologize as usual: "I'm sorry, Sister Hildreth."]

[“You didn’t feel sorry for me…I’m the one who felt sorry for you.”]

[“I don’t want to know what your plan is.” Hildreth wiped away her tears and said to you, “Tell me, how sure are you?”]

[“Twenty percent.” You said truthfully, “Conservatively speaking, that’s the only amount.”]

【“What if I help you?”】

[“Maybe it will increase the success rate by 5%?”]

[“What if the great Skadi helps?”]

[“She won’t help me because what I’m going to do is extremely unethical.” You rejected it with a smile, “Besides, I don’t want to lie to her anymore.”]

[After listening to your answer, Hildreth nodded seriously as if she had made a major decision.]

[“Then, the biggest obstacle to your plan is actually Lord Skadi... and us... right?”]

【"...right."】

[“Then all I can do is not to cause trouble for you, Ciel.” Hildreth smiled and added, “Also, try my best to prevent my sisters and the great goddess Skadi from causing trouble for you, right?”]

[“I can thank Sister Hildreth for being able to do this.”]

[“Then leave this matter to me.”]

[“Thank you for your help, Sister Hildreth.”]

[“This is what I should do, because you are my favorite person, Ciel.”]

[“I know, Ciel, that if your plan fails, you will definitely not survive.” Hildre said with a bright smile, “So, I won’t ask you to survive.”]

[“However, as a reward for my help to you, Ciel, can you promise me that if the plan fails... you will see me again in the future?”]

[“Yeah.” You said with a smile, “Even if this cycle ends, we will meet again at the crossroads of fate.”]

【Since the promise made that night】

[You will no longer be hindered or questioned by the Valkyrie and Skadi]

[Soon after, Goyanskaya, as agreed, successfully made the Noble Phantasm "Pseudo Wolf Binding Chain" with the help of the Valkyries' Noble Phantasm, and the mass production of the Divine Suppression Barrier constructed by the Valkyries was also completed.]

【Everything is ready】

[You stand on the top of Mount Garhe and unlock the restrictions of "God's Proclamation"]

【Instant】

[Light particles surge from the earth to the sky like a rushing torrent, spreading to every corner of Northern Europe]

[“It’s light, such a warm light.”]

[“This miracle is... the return of the great god?”]

[Faced with this miracle visible to the naked eye, people walked out of their homes, holding flowers that symbolize the soul, following the direction of the movement of light particles, and looking up at the sky]

【Where all eyes converge, there is light】

[A ray of light that penetrates the heaven and earth, like a physical being]

[Like the ash tree that gave birth to the world, like the giant pillar that supports the heaven and earth]

[The Storm Anchor that maintains the planet's surface and the laws of physics has transformed back into the Tower of the End after three thousand years.]

[The glorious holy tower extends countless roots of light and merges into your body]

[You can feel that your body is receiving protection from the end]

[Even if you refuse to become a god, you will gain the same power as a god by opening the Holy Tower]

[“Fukin, Mine, I’ll trouble you to lead people into the Tower of the End, preside over the summoning ceremony, and seize the magic sword 『Dawn of Destruction (Gram)』”]

[You accept the blessing of the Holy Tower and speak softly to the two companions standing on your shoulders]

[“You little brat, you really know how to order us around!”]

[“Perhaps all those who inherit the Wild Hunt are like this.”]

[Two crow gods fly down from your shoulders and chirp.]

[“Although I really want to say that I am different from that annoying guy like Odin, but now it seems that we are somewhat similar.” You couldn’t help but smile and said, “Thank you for your help.”]

[“Who told us that we were destined to work hard?”]

【“This is really a long-awaited return to work.”】

[The two crow gods complained, flapped their wings, and flew to the agreed area with the wind.]
