264 - - 202 Purpose fulfilled
"--Elma!"
What's going on?
We arrived at the throne room and saw Erma being protected by Tiruna and Terra-sama, who seemed to have arrived one step ahead of us.
Iguza! Everyone!
Erma responded to my call in a loud voice.
I was worried for a moment that there had been some kind of fierce battle, because there was a huge hole in the center of the throne room and a woman who appeared to be one of the Sacrilege Sacrifice had fallen.
I'm so glad you're safe! Tiruna and Terra-sama too!
We're fine. Erma didn't seem to have suffered that badly either.
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
I was relieved to hear Tiruna's words, and I stepped forward as if to protect the girls.
The man with white hair who was sitting on the throne said lazily, "You're finally here.
At last," he said lazily, "you are here at last. You are long overdue, Savior.
Elysium ......
Yes, Elysium, the former "sword" saint and current god of creation.
The sign suggests that he is the only one who is here.
It is probably safe to assume that all of the other "Sacrifices" have been defeated, as well as the woman who is unconscious there.
Even under such circumstances, the fact that she is able to rest her cheekbones on the throne, does it mean that she has some kind of plan to keep her head in the game?
Certainly, as long as Elma doesn't have the Phoenix Seal engraved on her, it's not hard to see the advantage of the guy. ......
And.
"--My Lord, I have one question for you."
Yomi and the others kneel before Elysium and say.
Then Elysium, still resting his cheekbones on his throne, said.
All right," he said, "go ahead. Say it.
Then, at the risk of sounding rude, let me tell you why you are here. Why did you create us?
Of course. To create a new world.
And for this purpose, even if we have to be sacrificed to Vallon, is it not worth it?"
Elysian's eyebrows, which had remained expressionless until now, twitched at Yomi's slightly intrusive question.
Well, as Aitia said, Elysium is nothing more than a pawn.
He would probably dispose of her easily depending on his mood, and if push came to shove, he would have to think about protecting Yomi.
As I carefully watched Elysian's movements, he muttered with a mysterious look on his face, "I see.
I'm not sure what to do.
I felt something indescribably strange about Elysian's appearance, and that's when it happened.
--Then, "Zzzz!
What?
Suddenly, the ground shook as if something had hit it.
As we all looked around to see what was going on, Elysian sat up from his throne and began to slowly descend the stairs, saying, "It seems that ...... our purpose has been fulfilled.
--bachi-bachi!
What?
The figure gradually changed into someone else.
"--I'm sorry, boys."
It was a beautiful girl ......, or rather, a beautiful boy, much smaller than Elysian, and at first glance, in her mid to late teens.
Why are you ...... in Elysium-sama?
From the look of surprise on her face, even Yomi, who said they were like brothers, did not know that he had switched places with Elysion.
Patty looked over at us, who were as stunned as Yomi, and said, "Just now, I was in the Garden of the Divine.
Just now, the Garden of the Divine has reached the deepest part of the World of Extinction - the bottom of the World of Severity. With all of you who have the Phoenix Seal here, there is no way for the Saviors to escape. So, I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay here with us until Elysium creates a new world.
What the ......?
What is ...... called "the disconnected world?
When did you start ......?
The purpose of our mission, from the very beginning, was to trap you in this "disconnected world". But you can travel to the saints through the Phoenix Seal. That's why we had to lure everyone who has it here. That's why I kidnapped you, Erma.
You ......."
Elma's brow furrowed in surprise, but Patty continued, "And only I know about this plan.
And I'm the only one who knows about this plan. I had to get the Sacri?ce and the others to really fight for it so that they wouldn't be aware of the slow descent of the Garden of the Divine.
The actual "Sacrifice" is a very good way to get the "Sacrificis" to fight for you.
Do you know what you've done,......?
Of course I do," she said, "but I'm not going to die. The most important thing to remember is that you are not going to die, so let's just accept defeat and wait for it all to be over. I'm sure they'll let us live in the new world.
No. ....... No. ......."
?"
Patty tilted her head as Finis shook her head.
She then told Patty, "You seem to think that the subhuman will come to your rescue, but it will never happen.
You probably think that those subhumans will come to your rescue, but that will never happen. Because anyone who falls into this place, even the god of creation, will never get out again. ......
'What ......?"
