A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 386
EP.386 - God of the Sun
After barely calming down Celeste, who got upset after bringing up the topic of Stardust,.
We continued to walk up and down the hill, led by me..
And after a while.
Hehehehe
"...Why is it like this here??"
...Now, for some reason, the wind started blowing hard on the hill..
This place where I brought her, a special meadow filled with green hills..
For some reason, there were hardly any people in this place, but as we advanced deeper into the hill, fog began to form and a strong wind began to blow..
"Well, because here is the secret I told you about.."
"...Can't I just fly away?."
It was clearly a green hill with bright sunlight just a moment ago, but Celeste was dumbfounded to see fog and a strong wind suddenly forming just after taking a few more steps..
I responded with a troubled smile as she looked irritated, her elegant silver hair blowing wildly in the wind..
"Probably not. This is a place with special abilities, so if you don't follow the prescribed path, the path won't open.."
"...Yes, it looks like it. I see that my abilities are not working. The fog won't go away."
At my words, Celeste raises her hand and mutters..
...I guess they've already tried to stop this fog or wind. I don't think it went well.
"haha. It can't be helped, right? Let's go together. I will lead you."
"joy..."
Celeste held out her arm with a smile and when I said that, she grabbed my hand with a brusque expression..
When her slightly thin and cold hand touched my palm, I hid my embarrassed expression..
...hmm. Of course, I said, ‘What do you say? I held out my hand expecting a reaction of 'You don't need it, put it away!', but I was rather embarrassed when he casually took my hand without hesitation..
"What are you doing? Let's go quickly."
"...yes."
Anyway, as we walked up the windy hill holding my hand, Celeste kept muttering while covering her face with her other arm..
"Seriously, they said it was a date... What kind of date is this? Let's just hope there's nothing special at the end of this.."
When she said that in an annoyed voice, I responded with a smile..
"haha. You don't have to worry about that.."
The reason I came to this hill somewhere in America under the pretense of going on a date..
Of course, I didn't come here looking for a dating spot on the Internet. Because there's something here.
Perhaps, there is something that has a high probability of attracting Celeste's favor..
Anyway, for that reason, we continued up the foggy hill where we could not see a single inch ahead..
Of course, the process was not all smooth..
in the middle.
"...! be careful!"
"...?!"
Suddenly, something flew towards us from the shadows in the strong wind, and I reflexively hugged Celeste..
...When I thought about it, Celeste was probably stronger than me, so I quickly let go and apologized, wondering what she was doing..
"Hmm. Well, that could happen.."
Celeste didn't seem to mind at all..
...Rather, his cheeks are slightly red and he is nodding and humming..
However, for some reason, it started to fall away from me a little bit. Before I knew it, I had let go of my hand....
Are you embarrassed?.
For your information, Celeste had already reduced the trash that flew in earlier to dust before it even reached our bodies..
So we walked for a few more minutes, feeling the wind..
"...So, what on earth is coming??"
Now, Celeste is starting to get irritated..
"We're all here."
i said so.
Because it was finally normal..
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung...
The wind has already stopped.
After walking uphill for a while, an open plain finally appeared..
...It was still difficult to see an inch ahead due to the thick fog, but now that flat land had appeared, it was possible to think that we had reached the top..
And in a place filled with fog.
Convinced that I had reached the top, I was finally able to smile..
You've finally arrived.
This place that appeared in the original, I could never come to on my own..
"...I'm sure this isn't the end. ego stick?"
Up there in the fog, when Celeste was asking me that.
"Could that be possible? It starts now. Come on, Celeste. Don't you feel something strange??"
"What are you talking about... Wait a minute. hmm..."
At that time, she seemed to have sensed something strange and muttered that with her hand on her chin..
To her, I quietly gave her a hint..
"Try using the power of the sun that you have. The idea is to push your abilities to their maximum limit.."
"...all right. Hmm...!"
Hearing my words, Celeste soon closed her eyes and stretched out her hands to cheer up..
Peeing-
In an instant, with a clear sound, warm gold erupted from her hand..
That moment.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As if the sea was parting, all the thick fog on the hilltop began to push away and disappear..
And when our eyes finally opened up, what we saw in the distance was.
"and..."
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The sun shining from behind shines like a halo.
A white stone statue so large that it pierces the sky..
The identity of the stone statue, which is almost as large as a building and engraved with the image of a person who is so imposing that it feels almost sacred, is.
"...no way."
"yes. you're right."
Did you feel something without realizing it? In front of Celeste, whose body was slightly trembling.
I grinned and spoke with my arms wide open with the statue in the background..
"welcome. The arrival of the sun god."
Statue of the sun god.
It was the only statue left in the world depicting the sun god..
***
celeste.
As depicted in the original work, she was a complete devotee of the sun god..
Maybe it's because I was saved by God from a life without any hope, but.
Of course, even she suffered in agony when the Sun God ordered the destruction of the world in the original work, which shows how badass the Sun God was....
Anyway, the conclusion is that she does not know the nature of the sun god yet and is still a sun god fanatic..
What she didn't know was what the sun god would look like when he appeared as a human..
How would you feel if you saw it for the first time, not as a 1:1 scale figure, but as a 100:1 scale statue??
Of course it's okay, won't it die?.
"This... this is the true form of the sun god...."
A place where a huge statue of the sun god stands tall on a hill in the sky..
I smiled bitterly as I saw her continuing to look up at that sacred figure with a deeply impressed expression, with her hands folded as if in prayer..
Is it that good?.
'...To her like that.'
I am cruel enough to encourage betrayal of the sun god with my own hands..
Even if that god hadn't tried to destroy the world... ugh..
While thinking such complicated thoughts, I also looked up at the image of the sun god..
The appearance of a sharp man with ordinary hair and an indifferent expression.
...To be exact, it was an androgynous appearance with no gender, but anyway..
That person is the beginning of all tragedies.
The man who caused the death of the star god, imprisoned the moon god, and was himself sealed after a long fight..
...And the man who put Stardust and me through so much trouble..
Helios, god of the sun).
'...I will definitely defeat you.'
I looked up at his shameless top and muttered that, then turned my head with a grin and took a step forward..
And wouldn't the best way to defeat him be to have his one and only saint betray him?.
With that in mind, I quietly headed to the back while Celeste was distracted by the statue..
A small stone gate seen behind the platform where the sun god's feet rest..
'...It takes the pure power of the sun to reveal this image of the sun god..'
Since it had already shown itself, there were no further security measures..
With that in mind, let’s open the stone gate. visible in it.
"..."
small ring.
I took out the silver ring with a golden stone in it and looked at it closely..
This is the fifth holy relic of the sun god, and the biggest purpose of my coming here..
The ring of the sun god. Invidia).
aka ring of jealousy.
After taking it out, I quietly turned to Celeste..
"...ah! ego stick."
As I approached, she finally noticed me and turned around..
"Are you satisfied??"
"...yes. I was really, really satisfied. Thank you, Egostick."
Is it because it is near the statue of the sun god? In front of her, who somehow seemed more pious and sacred than usual..
I smiled and said to her, hiding the ring behind me..
"It's not over yet. I have one more gift left for you."
"...A gift? What is it."
Soon, she was puzzled by my words..
I smiled and asked her.
"Celeste. Could you please hold out your hand for a moment??"
"It's a hand?"
She held out her left hand as if she still didn't understand what I was saying..
After holding her hand..
Beneath the stone statue of the sun god looking at us.
...I took out the ring I had been hiding earlier and quietly put it on her ring finger..
"....uh?"
For a moment, I was taken aback by my actions, and after trembling, I turned to her with a red face and no idea what to do..
I smiled slightly and then said with a smile.
"This is the Sun Ring, another sacred relic of the Sun God. I think you'll like it."
"ah..."
"Thank you for always being with me. And you look great, Celeste.."
At my words, she withdrew her hand, covered her hand with a red face, and spoke to me in an angry tone..
"...Then you should say that a long time ago. mislead people...!"
"ha ha ha."
"Heh... thank you anyway, Egostick.."
I looked down at the ring and grinned at Celeste muttering that in a slightly relaxed voice..
She seems more conscious of the fact that I gave the ring to her than that it is a sacred relic of the sun god..
...For some reason, when I put the ring on Celeste right under the stone statue of the sun god, it felt a bit strange because it felt like I was robbing the sun god of his virginity right in front of his eyes..
Well, good is good.
anyway...
I thought quietly as I watched Celeste turning the ring around in front of me, hiding her smile..
...This is enough -.
