Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Although it was slightly different from what she had imagined, it was still what she had wished for.

"Don't worry, Rudeus.

Alice declared loudly:

"I will protect you, just rest assured and provide support."

Hearing these words, Rudeus's stagnant heart began to waver.

For some reason, he felt like crying.

"I'm sorry, Alice, for treating you like that before... Actually, I don't hate you. I just... can't love you wholeheartedly like before."

"It's okay, because I like you."

"Is that so? I guess I'm actually really bad. After I defeat the enemy, I will sincerely apologize to you. And if you are willing to live in harmony with Sylphy...will you become my wife?"

"Of course."

Alice answered without hesitation.

The two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the past.

next moment.

The battle erupted with the strongest magic sword emitting a light that symbolized absolute victory.

……

……

……

Three hours later.

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.

The rain washed away the blood on Ron's body. He wrapped the shivering Norn in his cloak, used his body to help her recover her body temperature, and took her on horseback to the outskirts of Sharia.

The Knights Templar did not leave Shalia.

They seemed to want to wait and see, deliberately slowing down their pace, which was exactly what Ron wanted.

So after Ron caught up, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The members of the Knights Temple were proficient in magic and could fight together, which put a lot of pressure on Ron. Their quality was far beyond the reach of the Knights of the Asura Kingdom.

Even so, it's only to this extent.

The battle ended with Ron annihilating all the Knights Temple.

But for some reason, his heart was filled with uneasiness, as if something bad had happened.

Such a premonition.

After he arrived at the scene, his wish came true.

"..."

It was an astonishing ruin.

Rather than the traces of battle, they looked more like natural disasters. Shocking cracks could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the uneven, jagged ground was riddled with explosion marks, as if a meteorite had crashed there.

Even heavy rain could not wash away the blood that flowed on the earth.

The trembling Aisha stood dejectedly beside the ruins.

There was only a figure standing in the center of the ruins, looking up at the dark sky, without moving for a long time.

"Rudeus..."

Looking at the mess on the ground, Ron knew that it was all over.

I missed it again...

No, maybe he hasn't caught up with anything since the very beginning.

"Ron..."

Rudeus turned around and stumbled over to Ron.

He lost a hand again, his body was covered with scars, and his hair became withered and pale.

However, compared to the physical trauma, his heart seemed heavier at this moment.

Ron looked past Rudeus and at the battle scene that was stained with blood and even the heavy rain could not wash it away.

In the devastated ruins were three corpses and the strongest demonic sword lying on the ground like garbage.

Red-haired Alice.

Sylphy with white hair.

And something that is no longer in human form.

"After you left, Alexander the Northern God suddenly attacked."

Rudeus said softly.

Ron helped him sit down and listened to his story.

"Sylphy rushed over to protect me and died blocking the knife for me... Alice also died under that guy's killing move in order to create an opportunity for me. In the end, I was the only one who survived."

"Why, why am I the only one who survived?"

“I’ve tried my best…”

"I've already tried to show my true abilities and live my life seriously..."

"I clearly wanted to protect everyone, and I was the one who did the bad thing, so why did the retribution happen to the people around me in the end? Ron, why on earth did they die?!"

Rudeus said, already sobbing.

His broken body seemed to have no strength left. If Ron hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed long ago.

"It is the Hitogami."

Ron said softly.

"I should have warned you sooner... The Human God sees you as a thorn in his side and wants to eliminate you as soon as possible. He orchestrated the killing of Lokisi, and perhaps... what happened to me was also part of his plan."

"Human God..."

Rudeus, in a state of dismay, muttered to himself, repeating the name.

A long, long time passed.

He suddenly found strength from nowhere, grabbed Ron's hand, gritted his teeth, and as if trying to squeeze out a sound from between his teeth, he cried and pleaded to the person in front of him:

"Please, Ron."

"Help me kill Him."

Looking at Rudius, who had tried hard and struggled, but ultimately fell into the quagmire and had no choice but to ask for help from himself, Ron didn't say anything extra, but just nodded slightly.

It is impossible to stand aside and watch someone in trouble.

Until the end of the world.

"Okay, let's join forces, brothers."

"Kill Him."

Human God Chapter: 161, Time Magic

The rain lasted for a whole day and a whole night.

Rudius declined Ron's kindness, collected the bodies of Alice and Sylphy by himself, buried them in a cemetery in the suburbs, and personally made tombstones and placed them on their graves.

Aisha and Noren just watched quietly, no one said anything.

Anyone could sense that beneath Rudeus's silent exterior lay a raging wave of pain.

He endured the pain and endured the suffering.

And make up your mind to transcend the pain.

"I'm going to kill the human god."

Deep in the cemetery.

Rudeus stood in front of the tombstone and swore to himself.

The drizzling rain made him feel like a drowned dog. Although his body was so exhausted that he could collapse at any time, he relied on his perseverance to complete all this.

Ron did not stop Rudeus.

He, Aisha, and Noren stood behind Rudeus holding umbrellas.

"There's still room for recovery."

Ron said.

"What has happened so far?"

Rudeus turned around stiffly, his voice hoarse.

"They're all dead. What can be done to save them now? All I want now is to kill the culprit behind all this..."

"No, there is still a chance."

Ron said seriously.

"Not only is there still a chance to rescue them, but we can also catch the Human God off guard."

“…Does such a thing really exist?”

"Well, but the price..."

"Please, Ron, just give me a chance... I'm willing to exchange everything for it."

Rudeus pleaded earnestly.

Ron could feel his hatred and his obsession.

"Time magic."

"what?"

"The dragon clan's secret art of reincarnation and teleportation magic... if these two are combined, time travel may be possible."

"Is that kind of thing really possible?"

"Well, if it's you."

Looking at Ron's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, Rudeus thought for a long time.

Finally, he nodded slowly and made up his mind.

The good life we ​​once had seems like a dream.

And now, it is finally time to wake up from the dream.

……

……

The magic of time still needs to be done slowly.

To perform time magic, one needs a lot of preparation and the determination to give up everything now, which cannot be obtained immediately.

Until then, life goes on.

Rudeus buried Alice and Sylphy, and then began to clean up the mess left by this farce.

The first thing to solve is the housing problem.

The original wedding room was completely burned down.

Without Sylphy, living in the old house would only add to the sadness.

Might as well just move

If Rudeus was alone, he wouldn't mind moving in with Ron. After all, he still had many questions to ask about the time magic proposal. But it was different with Aisha.

Aisha is a girl after all, so she can't live with Ron.
