216. Final Chapter (3)
“Guardian. She is the one who protects.”
“Protects what?”
“Everything.”
Sion frowned.
He couldn’t understand.
Protecting everything is impossible. Nothing in the world can protect everything.
Sion tried to argue, but the Absolute Being spoke first.
“Why do you think she regressed?”
At the Absolute Being’s question, Kang Sion slowly offered an answer.
“I thought I did it.”
“The basis?”
“When I encountered the ogre, I saw the skill called Guardian, and I was the one who cast it.”
That was Sion testing the Absolute Being. He was trying to deduce the Absolute Being’s situation with a simple logical answer to this question.
However, Sion couldn’t see the Absolute Being’s face.
The Absolute Being’s face was completely hidden, and he couldn’t even tell if it was male or female.
“Hmm-. Is that so?”
The Absolute Being approached the jade stairs and sat down. He rested his chin on his hand and looked out over the city.
It was a completely human posture. He didn’t look like the one who ruled the universe.
The Absolute Being said.
“To be precise, it was a regression she chose herself. I don’t know if the power of that regression was triggered by Kang Sion.”
Kang Sion frowned and asked back.
“Explain in detail.”
“There’s nothing to explain in detail. It means she chose it herself. Right here. Regression. Not you.”
At that moment, Kang Sion’s head felt dizzy, as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object.
“Choice? Wait, hold on. Then.”
“Jin Jaehee came to the Door of Truth in the previous cycle [previous timeline or iteration]. And regression was her choice.”
Kang Sion looked up at the Door of Truth.
He sincerely couldn’t understand.
He couldn’t understand what this person was saying, or even what he was trying to understand.
Kang Sion paused to gather his thoughts and asked again.
“Wait. Answer my question.”
“I don’t want to. Why should I bother telling you the facts that you will naturally learn when you open that door?”
Kang Sion was silent at the Absolute Being’s words.
The Absolute Being glared at Sion again with fierce eyes.
“If you’re smart, you’ll know. I want to leave you in this world. I want you to open that door and go inside. But you want to go back. Back to the world where you originally were.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll tell you just one thing.”
The Absolute Being got up from the jade stairs and approached Kang Sion.
Then, he raised a finger and stroked Kang Sion’s lips.
