I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

160

The story Elohim told me gave me the feeling of listening to a myth or fairy tale rather than their past. I asked Elohim, who closed his mouth after saying Kali had left at the end.

"Why did she leave?"

"Because she got everything she wanted from us."

"Do you mean the oath?"

"A place to stay safe until she got her memories back, basic knowledge of this world, and finally, using an oath to bind our hands together."

Elohim answered with a dry voice and looked at me with a sad smile.

"Use. Right. Kali used us. And I and Elahah crossed a river that couldn't be returned to a moment of misjudgement."

Elahah's expression, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, gradually turned pale. As if he was unwell, he occasionally covered his mouth with his hand and let out a brief gasp.

"One year after Kali betrayed us and left, the world started to get weird. Large and small passageways opened, and living beings from other worlds began to invade. Humans have also changed as a result."

Passageways opened? Without too much difficulty, I knew immediately what he meant.

"Gate..."

I remembered the explanation of the gate from 'Abyss'.

Gates appeared 20 years ago and people's abilities were awakened six months after that. So it was all because of the existence of Kali?

"Is that possible?"

"We didn't know either. But if you think about it, there were plenty of possibilities because Kali had crossed the world that way in the first place. Only the child knows the details."

"But didn't she say she loves living things?"

"Kali believes she is evolving humans. The weak should either fall behind or die, and only the strong survive to fill the future."

"......"

"She said that only then can we have a proper 'happy ending'."

I frowned at the words beyond imagination. I couldn't believe there was really a person with such an absurd idea.

"Kali, who thought that gate alone couldn't achieve a perfect evolution, began to feel the need for a stronger calamity. Like the story of Noah's ark."

A red light flashed through the light green tea set in front of me for an instant.

"In order to become a perfect god, she searched for a human to play the role of disaster."

"...did she find it?"

"Yeah."

Elohim didn't open his mouth easily who it was. Elohim, who had been contemplating for a while, spoke another word.

"Anyway, Kali can't kill us, the biggest stumbling block in the plan, so she's got several people to act on her behalf. Se-hyun-ah, you have already met them."

I have already met them? I hastily rolled my head, listed the people I had met so far, and asked with a curious mind.

"Are they Samael and the Puppeteer?"

"There are more than those two. It's just that they haven't been active yet. In particular, the number of people who follow her and follow Samael, who is a talented person with mental control ability, is considerable."

"Those who wore black masks I met when I was kidnapped."

"That is very few. There are cases where Samael used his ability to make them lose their mind, but there are many people who agree with Kali's ideas and sincerely follow them."
