The Villain Carries the Holy Sword – Chapter 64.1

Chapter 64.1: Seasons Die Like That (5)

As the first rays of dawn broke, everything began to take on its proper colors.

This was the revealed land of Qaclington.

From the horizon to the opposite end, the entire land had been split apart by Ballam, and the broken fragments of Ballam solidified as they turned jet-black.

Cain slowly descended from the sky and looked down at everything.

In the distance, there was a space where Ballam’s fragments were conspicuously absent. It was the entrance to the shelter where the natives and the villagers had taken refuge.

In the middle of that open space, Asher was lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

‘I succeeded.’

He had thought it was too harsh a task for an ordinary knight from the countryside, but seeing him like this, a smile unconsciously formed on his face.

The next thing he saw was the end of the split land from Ballam’s last rampage.

“Cai━n━!”

And then he saw Oleciren, who was sitting on the ground, bleeding, and Isoel, who was supporting her.

‘I should go.’

Flutter.

The sacred treasure ‘Winter’ had a white cloak.

The witch Oleciren had black wings.

Of course, Cain didn’t care whether it was black or white, and he immediately spread his useful black wings and began to glide.

Whooooosh━.

In an instant, a warm spring breeze blew.

In the breeze, the gray crown regained its original pure white color. Cain’s black hair fluttered beneath it.

He reflexively looked back at the east where the sun was rising through the gaps between the strands of his hair.

‘This world is truly vast. There is so much that I do not know.’

The small island nation of Airian, which didn’t even have a duke yet.

Like the other continents, Cain had taken Airian for granted, but now he had given up that way of thinking.

He had experienced too much.

He had seen too many dangerous things.

Cain lifted the corners of his mouth and glanced at the quest window that had appeared before him like sunlight.

『Omniscience and Omnipotence World Reformation』

By defeating the servant of ‘Eternity’, you have come closer to the ‘End’. As the master of 『Four Seasons』, you have two choices.

「1. World Line Fixation」

It is the same as before. There is no special power.

However, it can be fixed.

「2. World Reformation」

The percentage of World Line Fixation you have up to now will be converted. You can know everything you want to know by that percentage, and you can do everything you want to do[Omniscient], [Omnipotent].

However, it is not fixed.

+

Unlike usual, two choices remained, as if he had to choose one of them.

Cain read it over and over again and frowned.

‘Anyone can see that it’s right to choose World Reformation.’

World Line Fixation had no real ability.

On the other hand, if he changed this to World Reformation, he could gain omnipotence like a god. Of course, he should choose the latter.

However, Cain frowned without making a choice right away.

Defeating Lava Devil, Ballam, was certainly a great feat.

However, compared to Abel defeating the Demon King or to Cain defending the Great Wall, it was too small a thing.

[If you touch the ground, 「World Reformation」 will be automatically selected.]

Moreover, the message was in a situation where it wanted Cain to choose World Reformation.

Cain looked down.

The black wings created by Oleciren’s power were slowly lowering him down, but there wasn’t much time left.

“Are you watching?”

Cain raised his head and asked toward the sunrise.

“If you know anything, tell me. I haven’t used the future much this time, so you’ll have less to do.”

【How cheeky.】

As if it had been waiting, the voice of ‘Spring’ rang in his ear.

【Anyone can see that World Reformation is better, so why don’t you choose it?】

Cain smiled bitterly.

Just because he chose the fastest and most efficient path, it didn’t mean that all those paths were good.

“I know now that a life of choosing only the right answers is not the right answer.”

Sometimes, even if you look stupid, you have to go straight ahead.

‘Spring’ was the only one who knew Cain’s past.

That’s why he didn’t know what kind of being it was, but he could talk to it a little more comfortably.

“And if I live like that, I won’t come back.”

【That’s like you. No, I should say that’s like me. If you get your hands on World Reformation, you will truly become omnipotent. You can be the new god in a world where God has left his seat.】

Cain turned his gaze to the glittering 2nd choice and asked.

“So should I choose World Reformation?”

【…… On the other hand, World Line Fixation can only be fixed. But think about it, Cain Ethelred━】

Cooong.

Before ‘Spring’ could continue, Cain slammed one of the two choices with his fist.

[‘Cain Ethelred’ has chosen 「World Line Fixation」.]

[‘Winter’ wishes you happiness.]

[‘Spring’ laughs at your choice.]

Thud.

Cain’s feet touched the ground.

The black wings scattered like dust, and the noise that had been heard as the gears of the world turned also disappeared.

【Why did you choose World Line Fixation?】

As the witch’s power that Oleciren was transmitting disappeared, Cain felt like he was going to collapse at any moment, but he managed to hold on by brushing his hair back with one hand.

“I thought about it. If it’s a choice where I have to choose one of two, it should have similar value, but it’s strange that one is too great. Then doesn’t ‘fixation’ have a value equal to omnipotence?”

【Hoohoo…….】

‘Spring’ didn’t add any further evaluation of the choice behind the laughter. However, his low laughter alone was enough to sense his satisfaction.

“And I was going to choose World Line Fixation from the beginning anyway.”

【Why?】

It felt more like he was expecting Cain’s answer rather than pursuing it.

“I’m not interested in being omnipotent.”

【What if an enemy appears that you cannot face?】
