31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 577)
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
hand piercing the heart.
To the masked monster, the dying god spoke.
“City, the judge... It's coming….”
dump…
“…….”
Now, this moment is one of the times when codons come and go.
It's just one of the futures Kodon can see..
“…This time too.”
Kodon soaked his whole body with blood.
he is time.
A being full of malice and powerful enough to lay waste to heaven..
But, or rather, that's why you can't change fate..
He became an idea and a phenomenon.
Fate did not allow him the authority to reform himself when the time came and give up being human..
He no longer breathes and lives, he just exists..
“…Is it defeat?.”
In some future, the Council intervened to correct the timeline..
They defined codon as something that must disappear. Also, as already decided, humans had to return to being dolls..
Because that has been the rule since the creation of this universe..
After going back and forth countless times, Codon found out whose work this puppet show was..
In return for messing with the timeline, he was noticed by the Universal Council..
Breaking down cause and effect is not much different from saying that the rules of the universe are deprived of their status as truth..
There is nothing that life in the universe can be sure of..
The Council are the orchestrators of this universe.
If there were a farther universe, even they might be just a handful of dust, but here, they were no different from the Absolute..
They are the ones who moved the gods to chase Yuriko and Asmodon that night..
they watch from afar.
Kodon can't even reach them..
Because all time ends before that.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck…
A dangerous being who will soon set foot in heaven. Absolute in a different sense from the council.
“…The judge is coming.”
Every time he intervened.
The Judge took it upon himself to kill the crooked monster born on the planet of dolls..
Not even time can bring him down.
He is the supreme king who rules one axis of the universe. All the times that Codon and humans face end with him..
“run away….”
“…….”
Cordon faced the snowman.
It's Yuriko's face..
Seeing it in someone else is a different feeling. Feelings and emotions that I can't get used to at all.
Sigh…
Kodon touched his masked face..
He has no face anymore.
If I had grown old normally, if I had died as a doll, I would have probably aged like that..
…With Asmodon.
everything is a mess.
everything.
“why… how… why….”
“Yuriko….”
Kodon, covered in blood, asks:.
“Don't call me that... by name….”
When I see a snowman, I feel unbearable anger and madness..
“Why did you come to me! why did you choose me….”
“I didn't choose it.”
“…….”
“I am… wanted to help you.”
“Shut up!”
A crazy god wearing a snowman mask said.
“The judge is coming, come on….”
“Does not matter. This future is a future that will be erased anyway.”
he was relieved.
“okay… If so, you're lucky. Find another way. Because you can do it.”
“…couldn't change.”
“…….”
“There is no road anywhere. All time leads to the same future and destiny... I couldn't resist.”
“Maybe it's because I don't have enough time. Step by step… From one step….”
“nonsense….”
“You did it proudly, after your father passed away... You became a great mage..”
“…….”
“therefore… If you… Yes, you can do it. Yuriko….”
the snowman smiled.
“I am… I trust you.”
“What the hell are you?!”
“I am….”
can't answer.
'Cause I know he'll deny it.
Choose another answer instead.
“For a long time... Because I watched.”
“…….”
The conversation stops here for a moment..
I confirmed that all futures end here. Now, there wasn't much of a future left for Cordon..
“…I see fate through all time.”
What are you trying to say?.
“There is only one thing: there is a time when the future is not fixed and the future is waiting. snow man.”
“…….”
“…Instead, everyone will get caught up..”
The fight to free humans from a life of subjugation and finally gain a life other than that of a doll..
What must be done to turn the fake into the real. However, the fight does not necessarily lead to a right future..
“which… A terrible future may be waiting for us.”
the snowman says.
“…doesn't care.”
“you….”
“That's us. Not being able to see your destiny, covering your eyes and running at full speed is more normal than you think..”
“…….”
“We're trying to fight fate. therefore….”
Kodon couldn't resist the look from the being behind the snowman mask..
“Fight, that's enough.”
these eyes.
Yuriko's eyes.
The burning desire in those eyes ignited the fire of a long war..
There was no freedom without struggle.
The thoughts of a fake god whose existence cannot even be defined and a doll struggling in the swamp of fate coincided..
Kodon smiled bitterly and saw the light pouring from the sky..
Now, the end of this time has come.
“ah… Okay, there was something I didn't say..”
The judge is coming.
“fight… That would be the same for you too..”
“…Yuriko?”
“Finally, I look forward to meeting you again. You are nothing….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
With light, the heavens collapse.
However, that soon becomes a thing that never happened..
Time is still in the hands of thieves.

Cheolgruguk…
Cheolgruguk…
The body was not only wrapped in bandage-like cloth, but also tied with chains..
“…I haven't heard of anyone coming to visit..”
“I didn't know I'd come to see you too.”
“It's the first time I've heard that voice. Who is it?”
Abyss Alkatron.
The first wizard, Ur, was imprisoned here for daring to create a fable about bugs..
“Ur. I looked for an answer.”
“It's the answer….”
“You gave man magic and reason.”
“…….”
“Maybe a lot of things surrounding us started from there..”
“It's a long story, the question is?”
codon asks.
“is it a sin?”
“…….”
“It made us intoxicated with new power, and as we were consumed by that power, a lot of suffering and pain was born. This is clearly a new kind of bondage that did not exist in the past..”
Kodon, he came here to kill Ur..
“Then, you who caused those things... Is it the sin of the beginning of mankind? Or that you chased the stars and took power... Are you going to say it's fate??”
“That's an interesting question. A pretty worthy guy has arrived..”
Ur said.
“There is a fool who believes in fate.”
“…Are you saying there is no fate??”
fool!
Destiny definitely exists!
Even though I see with my two eyes, hear with my ears, and touch with my own skin,!
Are you going to say there is no fate?.
“I've never thought about it. That kind of thing.”
“…what?”
“I saw a star. And at that moment, I was born again, I.”
Ur chuckled..
“just… it was good.”
“…….”
“There was no other reason. Anything that says this power will help humanity or that it will bring about disaster later on….”
The conversation would have been more enjoyable if his face wasn't obscured. Because he might have a smile on his face by now..
“I did it because I liked it. I committed it.”
“Even though there were people who suffered because of it?”
“On the contrary, there are some who have found the light. Light and darkness always stick together as one body. Since the results are good, is it okay if the process isn't right? Or, since the process is not right, should we accept the bad results with our eyes open? How many people do you think have shared this story since the birth of mankind??”
“…….”
“Everyone died. Still, you keep asking the same questions over and over again. Did you get the answer??”
“It's like saying there's no answer..”
“It's not like it's not there. Each person has a different answer.”
had to kill.
In the time Cordon chose, Ur had to die..
But, for some reason, I was looking for a reason not to kill him..
changes.
time, fate.
This man, the first mage, survived through this question and answer..
There is power.
This person has the power to change the world.
codon won't kill him.
“An important decision is ahead.”
“Do it.”
“…what?”
“I'm here to make a decision?”
“…….”
“Do it, you're a mage..”
The mage who everyone was in awe of answered..
“go your way.”
“……It's going to be a long time for you..”
“that… It must be boring.”
“I hope you don't suffer.”
Sigh…
Kodon turns to Ur and uses his power..
He had omnipotence that could overwhelm even God..
“Wow!!”
“Memories of me and your nobility will disappear. Madness will consume reason.”
“Hehehehe….”
“So, I will last a long time.”
Sreuk…
As Kodon turned around, Ur, who had not yet lost his temper, said something..
“Kid….”
“…….”
“In the end, you became a mage..”
Stand tall…
Ur whispers as he sleeps.
“Too bad. painting….”
A long time awaits him.
“quite… It was.”
Now the boy draws pictures to the world.

capital of kagon.
Above the central square clock tower.
When it gets dark at night, the clock tower lights up..
915 o'clock.
There is a man sitting on the hour hand and a small dragon sitting on the minute hand..
The second hand does not move.
The sea the man intended.
“Nier, bring about civilization.”
“…….”
“Bring prosperity with your knowledge. That's how a new era opens.”
“but….”
Nier said.
“If only we could prosper, a world like Kagon would open up. The future will expand endlessly and repeat itself.….”
“They decline anyway. Because they are all just dolls.”
“Yuriko….”
“It's a codon.”
Nier was furious..
“no! I don't want to call you that!”
“Don't call me Yuriko.”
“…good! Well, Asmodon..”
“…….”
“If it were Asmodon, he would have let me call him by his name! Because you're kind….”
Kodon is the one who gave half to Asmodon..
“…I guess so.”
“Asmodon, what I'm trying to say is... I don't know. Is this action we are about to take right?.”
“…….”
“…Some people in this world might be satisfied with the life of a doll..”
“Maybe so.”
“But the reason we have to fight?”
“Because some of them will want to be free. and….”
Codon's eyes are dead.
“Because among them there is a codon..”
Nier clasped both hands and said..
“Asmodon, I'll do it..”
“…….”
“I'm ready, let's go! we… I can't see it in the future?”
“okay. Here I am….”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Kwasik…
Kwajijijik…
People disappear screaming.
As all the buildings collapse, the era of Kagon comes to an end..
The Empire of Time falls.
There, the only human who is not a doll speaks.
“Here… I chose it.”
The first civilizations turn to dust as time wills..
Until a very long time passes.
* * *
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
Snowfall walked through the empty streets..
Everything I saw just now was like a dream..
But it's a dream I can never forget.
Memories came back.
I felt like I had forgotten how to speak..
In a daze, I walked towards the broken clock tower in the distance..
Snowfall climbed to a position with the best view of the clock tower..
To the nearest and tallest building.
It wasn't easy to climb because it was so badly broken, but this was the right place..
On the street, I see two figures.
Through the broken window, Tansia saw her appearance..
It seemed as if Nier's image was reflected in the broken window..
Ur walked from the other side..
A puddle formed on the side of the road.
The image of Ur was reflected there..
The glorious appearance of the time when I stayed in Kagon appeared and disappeared for a moment..
The three gathered together, as if possessed..
As if there was a promise.
Gathered in front of the clock tower.
tick…
tick…
The hour and minute hands of the clock tower meet.
12city.
exact.
Deeeeenn-!
Daeeeeeeeeen-!
Daeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!
time moves.
Kwasik…
Kwazizizik…
Kwazijijijijik!
Kagon, which had collapsed, began to return with traces of its collapse..
Jeokjeok…
Blah blah blah…
The debris moved slowly, leaving the city neat and tidy..
A man is standing at the top of the clock tower.
The masked man spoke loudly so that the other side could hear..
“Nice to meet you, everyone..”
“…….”
“…….”
Apocalyptic Codon says.
“I am an idea, a phenomenon. A despicable thief and a pathetic believer in fate. and….”
Kodon's gaze turned to Snowfall..
“It's your first word..”
Even now, time continues to be overwritten..
In the rift of time, Kordon decided to destroy Khagon..
Continuing to deceive the whole universe.
- He chose. He chose. he chose….
It all started here.
Kangseol opened his mouth..
“It’s been a while, Yuriko..”
