I’m not a Regressor

Chapter 420

I am not a returner Episode 420:

War of the Stars (11)

– I guess I’ll have to go see it in person.

How many days have passed since Eve left?

While anxiously awaiting news of victory at the temple, I finally decided to go ‘outside’.

Going out of the sanctuary was a great burden for the Holy See, but if he went out in his body, he could still withstand the restrictions of the law to some extent.

-Do you have any constellations to go with you?

Before leaving the sanctuary, I visited the constellations of the awakened people who were said to have headed to the battlefield with Eve.

They also readily agreed to leave the sanctuary, perhaps because they were worried about their children heading to the battlefield.

The battlefield we visited with the constellations.

-Ahhh.

I couldn’t help but despair as I looked at the village covered in blood and corpses, as if it symbolized hell.

I frantically walked around the battlefield looking for Eve.

Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes?

It wasn’t long before Eve was found collapsed.

-Mobius…?

I quickly approached her and hugged her.

The fact that I couldn’t even hold that little girl in my arms in the condition of my prosthetic body brought about a terrible sense of self-destruction.

* * *

-It’s… dangerous here.

The girl told me to run away even though she was covered in wounds and couldn’t even stand up properly.

Did he even hear the girl’s voice?

An enormous horde of demonic beasts instantly surrounded the surrounding area.

I urgently deployed ‘Sanctuary’ while looking at the approaching group of demonic beasts.

-No… Moebius.

The girl knew what I was trying to do and quickly grabbed my collar.

– Constellations… are not allowed to use their power outside the sanctuary.

iced coffee.

I’m sure I’ve said this to the girl.

The Holy See must not use its power carelessly outside the sanctuary.

That is the ‘law’ established by the great creator of the constellations.

but.

What’s the importance of that law?

I was able to break laws many times that even a child dying in front of me could not keep.

-Don’t worry.

I left the anxious girl behind and looked back at the constellations that had come with me.

-You must use the Sanctuary.

No matter how much they prepared for ‘annihilation’, the Constellation could not produce even half of its original power outside the sanctuary due to the restrictions of the law.

The help of other constellations was needed to protect the girl from the hordes of demonic beasts that surged in like a tidal wave.

but.

Among them, there was no constellation that reached out for the children.

– Our children are dying!

No matter how much you cry.

– Are you saying that discipline is more important than the lives of children?!

No matter how much you scream.

-Please… please help me. I can’t protect my children on my own.

No matter how much you beg.

They were silent.

With my head down like a criminal.

I turned my eyes away from the deaths of my children.

and.

and.

and.

-Please hug me tight so I don’t get cold…?

The girl is dead.

Miserable and miserable.

Without receiving help from anyone, even the gods he believed in were turned against him.

like that.

The child quietly closed his eyes.

And I…

– Expel Ophiuchus constellation Mobius from the sanctuary.

He became a satellite for breaking the law.

A crushing silence.

The constellations exchanged glances with each other amidst such heavy tension that even the air seemed to harden.

Developing ministry ‘outside’ the sanctuary.

They also knew full well what the price was.

[But… carrying out a sanctuary outside….]

[Isn’t it against the law?]

The reason why they couldn’t come forward wasn’t just the ‘price’ issue.

Just as humans also have law and order.

Constellations also had rules that should not be broken.

The ‘Law’ created by the Creator who gave birth to the stars.

That was the rule that maintained order among the constellations.

Of course, unlike in the past, the idea that the law must be observed has decreased significantly even among the Holy See.

In fact, strictly speaking, just giving ‘blessings’ to the awakened was a violation of the law.

However, even though it is the same illegality, the punishment for jaywalking and murder are different.

Even though it was an act that violated the law, the meaning of giving blessings to the awakened and carrying out ministry outside the sanctuary was different.

[Wasn’t it the Constellations of the North Star who said that the Sanctuary should not be used outside of the Sanctuary?]

That is exactly what Polaris said.

Vegana Deneb merely agreed with Polaris’ opinion.

At the time, I thought Polaris was right.

I thought it was an unchanging truth.

Until I met Ojin.

She had no doubts about following the ‘law’ set by the Creator.

[you’re right! Isn’t that why you kicked out the constellations that broke the law from the sanctuary?]

[….]

Vega’s eyes wavered.

Before meeting Ojin, there was one piece of news that even she heard during the time when she was alone in the temple and refused to communicate with other constellations.

There is a constellation that was expelled from the sanctuary for violating the law and using ‘sanctuary’ outside the sanctuary.

That constellation is Mobius, the constellation in the constellation Ophiuchus.

[Ah.]

A low sigh leaking from between my lips.

Now she could understand why Mobius had developed such hatred towards the constellations and why Polaris had asked Mobius to say ‘I’m sorry’ before it disappeared.

[That’s how it happened.]

Vega looked back at Mobius and smiled sadly.

[You… were our ‘karma’.]

The time when we didn’t meet Ojin.

The foolish constellation, who did not even know the feeling of cherishing his own child, simply followed the given rules, considering them to be the truth.

Those who did not follow the law were ostracized and condemned.

The ‘karma’ from those foolish and foolish times has now come back to her as a sharp awl.

[It’s all her fault.]

She had no intention of making the cowardly excuse that she was just agreeing with Polaris’ opinion.

Even if you stand by and do nothing, you will be held accountable.

[I’m sorry.]

Vega bowed deeply towards Moebius.

Mobius looked at Vega, who lowered her head, and smiled.

“Now what does that mean?”

Eve is dead.

He joined hands with the Heavenly Demon.

It was already too far to be solved by just bowing down.

“Nothing will have changed since then.”

Moebius twitched the corners of his mouth and spread the black sky clouds wide.

“All of the awakened people here will die right here. And…”

As always.

“You will just watch.”

Bound by the shackles of the law.

I will curl up in a miserable prison of my own making.

“That’s what you call the ‘duty of the Constellation.’”

[….]

Vega kept his mouth shut and took a step forward.

Brilliant silver waves spread widely.

Vega, who was walking forward, stopped for a moment and looked back at the constellations.

[Do you love your children?]

The constellations who were exchanging glances nodded quietly.

[[Yes, I love you.]]

A time when I didn’t really know about humans.

The Constellations simply thought of the human race as the soil where stigmata could take root.

But as I got closer to them and learned about humans.

Looking at them fighting and making up, shedding tears and smiling brightly.

An emotion that was completely unexpected even for the constellations sprouted in my heart.

A heart that cherishes and loves the child who inherited the stigmata… and furthermore, the human race itself.

No one forced it.

It wasn’t something anyone ordered.

Naturally, as if water seeps into it.

The constellations have become closer to humans.

[The main woman also loves her child. Not as a constellation… but as a woman.]

Vega’s explosive remarks spread shock among the constellations.

[Vega… Are you talking about Vega?]

[With this human?]

[I heard that there are a lot of constellations dating humans these days, but

I can’t believe Vega…] The constellations widen their eyes with an expression of disbelief.

[Among these, are there any constellations who became lovers with your child?]

Several constellations who were paying attention to her question cautiously raised their hands.

[Do you remember? Just a few years ago, it was unthinkable for a constellation and a human to become lovers.]

How shocked I was when I heard that Spica was dating a human child.

A constellation and a human become lovers.

I shook my head, saying it was absurd.

but.

What was unthinkable just a few years ago has now become a familiar part of daily life.

[Ugh…!]

The restrictions of the law that immediately responded to the unfolding of the ministry.

The shackles created by the Creator God were gradually constricting her breathing.

Vega continued speaking, suppressing the pain that was constricting her breathing.

[She once thought that this law was the truth that must be followed.]

It is natural for a Constellation to follow the law.

That’s what I thought.

[But I no longer think that way.]

After meeting Ojin.

She has changed so much that she has surprised herself.

[I will no longer force you to fulfill your duties as a Constellation.]

Even if all the Constellations here turn their backs on you.

She had no right to criticize them.

[However.]

One step.

Take a step forward again.

[If only the main woman had changed.]

If only other constellations had encounters like hers.

[If you value your children not as a duty as a constellation, but as a close friend, lover, or parent.]

They too.

What if it changed like you?

[Please come forward for the children.]

Looking at the wounded and fallen awakened people, Vega slowly increased his strength.

Pajik Pajijik!

Blue charges bounced between the silver tidal waves.

As her ministry progressed, the restrictions of the law became increasingly strict, putting pressure on Vega.

It may even lead to the extinction of existence.

The absolute law of the Creator God.

The goddess, who once followed the law more faithfully than anyone else, rebelled against the creator god.

“haha! Do you think that will make them break the law and help you?”

[I don’t think she knows that.]

But one thing was certain.

[Just as you did, she will sacrifice everything to protect her child.]

Even if the price is the extinction of existence.

[Sanctuary development ‘Galaxy (??)’.]

Brilliantly sparkling silver waves filled the surroundings.
