Regressor’s Life After Retirement

[(Side story) You have no right to refuse]

“. ……”

Lilith looked at the man reflected on the monitor with a devastated expression.

Hair that turned gray in an instant.

Two eyes with bloody tears constantly flowing.

A man with a face as pale as a corpse, constantly muttering something and swinging his sword fiercely.

No matter how much his appearance changed, he was a face I could never recognize.

“Uncle…”

Lilith chewed her lips, feeling as if her heart was about to collapse.

He opened his eyes as if they were about to burst into tears and clenched his trembling hands into tight fists.

She barely opened her mouth as if she was having trouble breathing.

“I… have to go.”

When you meet yourself, you will remember everything.

Then, that meaningless fight will stop and

that person will stop shedding tears of blood.

“no!”

“wait!”

Baek Young-hee and Lily blocked Lilith’s path as she staggered out.

“Get out of the way! “I have to go.”

“Don’t be stupid. “Can’t you see the fighting outside?”

Baek Young-hee, who harshly reprimanded Lilith, pointed to another monitor with her finger.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

A fierce battle was still going on outside the Demon King’s Castle.

Giant God Soldiers and Demon God Soldiers were intertwined in battle, and Red Finger’s fanatics and the elites of the Dimensional Allied Forces who had climbed up to the Demon King’s Castle clashed in various places.

[conflict! They’re so persistent!]

[Don’t let the lessor’s vacancy be revealed!]

[Protect the engine! They’re targeting the engine!]

Voices of the Dimensional Alliance heroes aboard the Colossus.

They were at the forefront protecting the fleet, fighting against demonic soldiers that were dozens of times more numerous.

However, after Daein left the battlefield, the enemy’s attacks became more intense, and the Allied Forces’ proud Giant God Soldiers were destroyed one by one and falling.

Lilith felt so sorry about that fact that she couldn’t stay still.

“…This is what happens in my world. So I have to solve it myself.”

“I told you to stay still.”

However, Baek Young-hee did not get out of the way, and Lily also pulled Lilith’s arm from the side.

“Are you going to go back there without meeting your uncle?”

“That’s…”

Lilith was speechless for a moment.

She couldn’t fight now.

No, we shouldn’t have fought.

When she first came here, Lilith could stay here on Earth for up to a month.

And now it was almost a month since I stayed in this world.

‘If you use too much power, the time you can stay here will decrease.’

She had the power to turn the tide of war, but once she used that power, she could no longer stay here.

After thinking for a moment, Lilith opened her mouth again.

“Then you can come back later…”

“Don’t say anything you don’t mean and just stay still.”

“Don’t lift a finger today!”

“But…”

Not only the two people with stern expressions, but also the people who were listening to the three people’s conversation through the communication channel added their words one by one.

[Clark. There will be no need for guests from far away to come out.]

[Just quietly watch. Princess.]

[Leave it to us! Because we can win even without you!]

[Let’s all do our best! Isn’t that what Big Lily does when we’re in trouble?]

-Kwakwakwakkwak!

The attacks of the giant soldiers became more intense, and the enemies gathered in front were swept away.

Now, there is not much left to reach the place where there is a huge egg wriggling in the middle of the demonic trees that surround the red tower.

And the top of the red tower, which is much higher than where the egg is.

-Go go go go!

There, a great man was fighting with a landlord from another world.

Baek Young-hee, the actual manager of WH Group, gave instructions to everyone in a firm voice.

“Leave the prophet to the Vice President and we will deal with that monster.”

[Yes!]

After a while, as we entered the area of influence of the powerful storm of magical energy, ‘his’ voice rang out loud.

[Dimension Allied Forces! Landlord! You have come to disturb me again! 】

The identity of the being called ‘Him’ was a fusion of Baal and Soul Eater.

The most terrible demon god in the universe,

grown by sucking the blood and souls of countless lives through the roots of the Demon Tree .

【None of you will return alive! 】

Cheeeeeeeeeek…!

The thin film-like shell of the egg was torn and an arm came out from inside.

Next, the other arm came out and grabbed the shell on both sides, opening it wide to the left and right.

And then two huge heads came out of it.

【It is time for resurrection! 】

The fusion that came out of the egg was in the shape of a hideous giant.

Like an unfinished building, muscles were attached to the exposed skeleton, and the branches of the magic tree bulged like tendons above it.

【My children! Come to me! 】

-Kiyaaaaa!

-Kiyaaaaa!

At the fusion’s cry, all the surviving demon soldiers flew towards the fusion.

What followed was a horribly disgusting process of merging.

-Clearly!

Hundreds of demonic spirits clung to the body of the fusion body, which consisted of only skeleton and muscles. They began to tangle with each other and settle into place.

After a while, the fusion body that had absorbed hundreds of demon bottles into its body straightened its back and roared.

【 ――――――――!! 】

Hundreds of mouths roared at the same time.

Redfinger’s fanatics fell unconscious at the roar, and most of the beings there were crushed by the tremendous magic that exploded.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The shock wave that exploded around the Demon God was such that even the Allied Forces’ Giant God Soldiers had to balance themselves in the air.

“Crazy…”

Baek Young-hee looked at the revived demon with trembling eyes.

Baal, whom Daein risked his life to defeat in the past, or perhaps even stronger than him.

【 The order of the universe will be reorganized before my power! 】

The Demon God stretched out his hand and struck the Demon King Castle.

-Quaaaaang!!

More than half of the Demon Castle’s barrier was shattered at once, and its massive body shook violently like a boat caught in a storm.

Baek Young-hee shouted with a stern expression.

“Auxiliary output maximum! Transformation into the Demon King’s final battle mode!”

The Demon King’s Castle, which was in the form of a streamlined ship, changed into a solid fortress and dozens of strengthened main guns were charged with energy.

“launch!”

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

It was a fight that felt like the world was falling apart.

A demon god roaring with his whole body and shaking his power in all directions, and a fleet of dimensional allied forces surrounding such a demon god and pouring attacks from all directions.

“As expected, I have to step in…”

Although the situation was favorable, Lilith couldn’t stay still as the damage to her allies was accumulating, and she bit her nails nervously.

At that time, Lily held her hand tightly and said.

“You saved us last time. So now it’s our turn to help our sister.”

Although the hand was really small compared to her own, Lilith felt relieved just by holding it.

“Lily is right.”

Baek Young-hee also looked directly into Lilith’s eyes and spoke.

“Thanks to you, Vice President, and all of us, we are still alive today. “You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Thanks to the information Lilith brought from the future, the Dimensional Allied Forces were able to win the last war against the Demon World.

Today the Allies will repay the favor.

“don’t worry! Because if you do good things, you will be rewarded!”

When Lily spoke with a 100% confident expression, Lilith unconsciously smiled and stroked her head.

“…thank you.”

It was then.

[Lily. Maintenance is complete.]

Jang Young-shin’s communication sent from the Giant Soldier’s hangar.

At that moment, Lily said with her eyes shining.

“Can I sortie now?”

[…It’s not in perfect condition, but it’s good enough for brief use.]

“Thank you, Youngshin! sister! “Wait here for a moment!”

Lily immediately ran to the hangar.

And after a while, the weapons hangar in the Demon King’s Castle split open and Lily’s giant soldiers came out from within.

A giant soldier with an overall golden body and an impressive red crest and beak.

[Battle Phoenix! Go!]

-Puhwaaaaaaaaa!

Lily, who took flight on her special giant god soldier, immediately reached the front of the demon god.

Battle Phoenix opened its beak and spewed out flames.

-Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The flames that spewed out like breath blocked the demon’s attack and instead began to burn the demon’s body.

【 Kwaaaaaak! A mortal who doesn’t even know the subject! 】

The flame was quickly extinguished by the power of the Demon God, but the scar remained.

Lily, standing confidently in front of him, shouted.

[bad guy. You are dead now!]

The fierce battle was already approaching its end.

***

-Kugugu goong…!

The Demon God was collapsing like a huge mountain slowly collapsing.

【 ―――――――! 】

The Demon God revived by Red Finger was stronger than Baal of the past.

However, it was not enough to surpass the power and technology that the Dimensional Alliance had accumulated over the past few years.

“It’s over.”

The great man glanced at the sight and turned his head again to look at the prophet.

“How do you feel?”

“die-!”

The prophet attacked the great man with a face distorted like a murderer.

From his sword, numerous killing techniques included in the Pacheonshingong and the Cheonmashingong unfolded.

However, none of the attacks reached Daein.

The great man yawned as if he was bored.

“It sucks.”

The two had the same body, the same martial arts skills, and almost the same level of magical power.

However, while one side maintained its sanity to withstand the force, the other side’s spirit was as if it had collapsed.

So it was no exaggeration to say that the game was decided from the beginning.

‘Even if I was fine, of course I would have won.’

Whick!

The great man spoke after easily dodging the prophet’s attack.

“You still don’t know who you are? Or are you just pretending not to know?”

“Ugh!”

The more excited he became, the bigger the gap became, and Daein did not miss the gap.

The great man’s palm immediately entered the other person’s arms and struck the prophet’s chest.

-Phew!

The Prophet, who was flying and vomiting blood, stopped in the air and then recklessly rushed towards the Great Man again.

“Aaaah!”

“What changes if you do this?”

Daein easily avoided the attack and then counterattacked.

-Pow!

The prophet, who rolled on the floor again, got up like a roly-poly and attacked the great man.

No matter how many times I fell, rolled, or broke, I kept repeating the same actions.

“Aaaah!”

At some point, even though the demon’s roar could no longer be heard, and even though

his attack did not even pass by the great man’s clothes,

the prophet rushed at the great man as if he were determined to die.

But

“I won’t kill you. So just give up.”

…dump.

The staggering prophet knelt helplessly on the floor.

The great man standing in front of him looked down at his graying gray hair and sighed.

“You remembered everything, right?”

“…okay.”

Before he knew it, clear tears, not bloody tears, were flowing from his eyes.

“I… I…”

I remembered everything.

What is your name, what kind of life have you lived, and what have you been through?

And how many evil deeds he committed to regain his lost memories.

He said in a cracked voice.

“…I committed something that can never be forgiven.”

“ha.”

Seeing him lowering his head like a high treason criminal, the great man sighed and scratched his head.

“As you know, I am a person who really hates nagging anyone…”

But the person nagging is myself.

The great man sighed at this absurd irony.

Anyway, I couldn’t help but say a few words.

“If it’s a human being, you’ve killed many people before and, when necessary, taken something from someone else.”

“…This is a different case. Countless innocent lives have been killed. “I…”

At first, I committed this act because my memories were sealed and I was brainwashed by Baal and Soul Eater.

But…

“Even after the brainwashing was lifted, I did not stop my evil deeds. “For the reason that I want to regain my memories…”

Daein clicked his tongue and cut him off.

“what the. “Do you think you’ve become something really great because everyone around you calls you a hero or a saint?”

“what?”

The great man spoke with a more cynical expression to the prophet who looked up at him blankly.

“I know you did something crazy. But there was no way. “Aren’t you so desperate that you wanted to get your memories back even if it meant destroying the whole world?”

“But…”

“Humans are inherently selfish. You only know yourself. So, if you’re frustrated and angry, you might do crazy things. “Where on earth is there a person who doesn’t make mistakes?”

It is sophistry.

The things he had done were too terrible to be passed over with excuses like that.

But the prophet did not bother to say that.

The landlord probably already knows.

Even though he knows, he is trying to comfort himself somehow.

“You just have to atone as you go on in your life.”

“expiation? how?”

The great man seemed to think for a moment, then scratched his cheek and said.

“To put it in a childish way, wouldn’t it be okay to do good deeds until we die?”

“…is it.”

The two men’s eyes met, and for the first time, something resembling a lonely smile appeared on the prophet’s lips.

The great man nodded, patted his shoulder and said.

“Then stop crying and get up. “You have to think about the people who have been waiting for you since a while ago.”

“…waiter?”

“Maybe you should be prepared.”

The great man smiled meaningfully and took a step to the side to make room.

When the great man who had filled my field of vision stepped aside, I could see the people waiting behind him.

Among them, a woman with long red hair particularly caught his attention.

“No way…”

The prophet’s eyes widened when he saw Lilith.

Before he could say anything more, Lilith ran up to him and jumped into his arms.

Prophet Ani Landlord looked down at the girl with her face buried in his chest with trembling eyes.

“…You’ve grown a lot. “Have you waited long?”

“Let’s go home together!” Wait! “They said it would come soon!”

Lilith asked, burying her tear-covered face into her landlord’s chest. The landlord hugged her delicate shoulders.

“Sorry. “It’s very late, but… let’s go home together now.”

“of course!”

Lilith’s expression, as she lifted her head, was resolute, as if she had made a huge decision.

She wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.

“I will never let you go again.”

“Oh, I understand, this is a bit… a grown girl…”

The embarrassed landlord tried to push her away, but

“It’s noisy. You have no right to refuse.”

Lilith attacked the landlord’s lips.

“!!”

Feeling dizzy, the landlord closed his eyes.
