Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief - Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 316

316 – The Coming End

Since we had passed the trials given by the Goddess of Fate, it was safe to say that there was no possibility of the gods interfering with us.

God, who is in charge of destiny and no one else, has accepted our choice.

No matter how dissatisfied the other gods, who could not go against fate, were, all they could do was watch.

Now it’s really all over.

I led Eterna, who had a dazed look on her face as if she still couldn’t believe it, and took a brisk step towards the wide open door.

Yes. I have decided not to regret anything now.

You will be satisfied with the world you have chosen to do your best.

And I will continue to do my best in life.

As I got closer to the door, pure white light filled my vision.

When I finally took a step beyond the door, the world changed completely and the space I had always imagined became reality.

“Here…”

Pure White Temple.

A place where Eterna has been waiting for us to arrive for thousands of years.

This was the first and last time I saw this place a long time ago when I had a brief conversation with Eterna when I was Cro.

At that time, I couldn’t even remember her memories with me, so I couldn’t understand why she treated me so vaguely.

She told me at the time that she was always watching.

In addition, her hostility toward her older sister, Eldina, was also revealed without hiding.

Of course, now that we have moved into a completely different future, it was like the past of another world that exists only in my memories.

That’s right. I changed fate and destroyed the future that was planned.

That is the same thing as saying that all existing memories become nothing.

In other words, in a way, it may be the same as abandoning the original world and choosing another world.

But I have no regrets. That’s because it’s a world I chose after giving my best and much thought.

It doesn’t matter whether you abandoned the original world or not.

You just have to live more faithfully in the future than you do now so that you don’t regret that choice.

“···Eterna.”

Eldina called out the name of the pure white woman seen in the distance in a trembling voice.

Then she stood still and looked at us, and smiled with tears in her eyes, and she responded.

“Welcome. “Both of them.”

My older sister kicks off the ground, runs out, and hugs me.

Her younger sister, nestled in her arms, gently stroking her older sister’s back.

As I watched the reunion of the two sisters, I couldn’t help but be filled with vague emotions.

In the past, through a story outside the window, I had glimpsed a scene similar to the present where two people were reunited.

But the atmosphere back then was completely different from now.

Her younger brother welcomed her older sister, whom she had met for the first time in a thousand years, but her older sister was distraught because of her decision to betray her younger sister in the future, so she did not do it properly. She couldn’t even express her joy.

It was heartbreaking to think of that time, but it is also true that the present reunion was ultimately possible because of the events of that day.

I will not deny the mistakes of the past. However, there is no point in constantly looking back on the path you have already taken and having regrets and regrets.

Acknowledge and accept past mistakes and then move on.

“Thank you for waiting.”

I walked closer and held out my hand to Eterna.

She looked at me with a slight smile on her lips.

“A lot has changed.”

“Okay. “Do you not like it?”

A long time ago, in the forest, a simple country boy hesitated at a woman he met for the first time, not knowing what to do.

I have no intention of denying who I was back then, but it is also true that as time has passed, the image of that time has almost faded away.

Now, I am not a naive and immature boy, but a thief who is good at cunning and cunning.

The boy from his previous life, whose name was even forgotten, has gone through countless hardships and adversities over the endless years, and now only the name Raven is left behind.

“No. I became more manly and handsome. “I fell in love all over again.”

Eterna whispered slyly and gently leaned her forehead against my chest.

Just as I had changed, she also seemed to have changed quite a bit after being trapped here for a long time.

I’m not saying things have changed in a bad way. Rather, I should say that by letting go of many things, I feel much lighter than before.

“For the past thousands of years, all I could do was look at the earth through White’s eyes.”

In return for giving over all of the power of time to me, Hayang almost lost his divine power.

Not long ago, we received a call that the Operator had overpowered Hayang, who had gone on a rampage and attacked the underground laboratory, and had imprisoned him in the mirror world. To be exact, it was closer to a control for protection.

It is difficult to explain precisely, but what is currently trapped in the mirror world is close to a fragment of Hayang’s power.

Hayang’s true form is probably still roaming freely in the outside world.

Although the Operator completely recovered her divine power, she returned to an ordinary fox.

In my memories of the very distant past, I remembered meeting White, who had become a fox, in a forest.

I don’t remember exactly when the past and future events were mixed together, but considering the original story, I think I encountered it in passing at the beginning of the play.

“I watched everything. “Raven has done his best so far.”

I heard Eterna’s words overlap in my memory, saying that she would always watch over me.

“hehehe. “The story we created together has a happy ending.”

Eldina talks playfully with a small laugh.

That voice reminded me of the words of the goddess in my memory, who said that no matter what miserable end awaits me, I will go with you until the end.

The two will not be able to recall the memories of that day.

Nevertheless, as if it were obvious, he brings up words that are connected to the remarks made at the time.

It was the same as how Julia unconsciously kept memories of the art museum.

In the end, all stories are connected.

It is as if the world shown by the Goddess of Fate appears to be a completely different world, but it turns out to be connected to the original world.

Even a story so unexpected that it makes you shake your head when you only watch the isolated episodes becomes one big story when you find the other pieces and connect them.

That means only one thing.

“Yes. “All the efforts we have made so far are meaningful.”

Even if fate is reversed, the past becomes something that never happened, and not everyone can remember the memories.

All of those stories contain noble values worthy of praise.

This is because it is not a story I built alone.

A path that everyone walked together and did their best.

What awaits us at the end is an unknown possibility that no one has ever reached and that was not written on the wheel of fate.

I declare at this moment.

Finally, the phantom thief succeeded in stealing destiny.

I looked up at the sky for a moment and took a deep breath.

The night suddenly became dark again.

Because this was a temple of the gods built on clouds, the starlight that filled the sky was so beautiful that it was mesmerizing.

And the clear moonlight of the full moon became soft lighting, illuminating us like the main characters on the stage.

At that time, someone came this way with a plodding sound.

If you think about what kind of place this is, there was no doubt that the other person was not an ordinary human being.

He was an old man with a long beard.

An outfit consisting of sandals and pure white cloth without any decorations.

But as soon as I saw the golden eyes in those deep eyes, I realized how great the old man was.

As I flinched from the tremendous pressure that was quietly pressing down on me, Eldina blocked my path with her stern expression.

A powerful divinity began to overflow from Eldina, who must have regained her power.

Nevertheless, the old man did not blink an eye.

“What business does the brilliant sun god have in the middle of the night like this?”

“Heh heh. “It seems like night has returned to the sky after a long time, so I came to check it out.”

Is that man the sun god?

A being who controlled the Count of Monte Cristo from behind, who was trying to return this world to the age of God.

He is also recognized as the greatest of all gods.

“Take it easy. “Now that Goddess Fate has approved it, I have no intention of raising any objection.”

“···Then, I hope you will just turn around and leave.”

When Eterna also stepped forward without hiding her displeasure, the Sun God smiled bitterly with a shy expression on her face.

“It seems like you are properly hated.”

That was only natural.

Exiling Eterna to the Temple of Pure White, capturing Eldina, shattering her divinity and sealing it in the Shattered Temple were all done under the leadership of the Sun God.

“Of course, I may feel like a villain to you, but please understand. “It was unavoidable to protect order in this world.”

“So you’re saying you’re going to stop us this time too?”

The old man shook his head.

“I told you. Since Goddess Fate has accepted it, there is no way for me to do it. “No matter how much I am recognized as a god, I cannot invade the territory of another god.”

While everyone was glaring at him with wary eyes, unable to figure out what his plan was, he opened his mouth again.

“But it’s too dangerous like this. If the world were to be distorted this much by the hands of one human, the entire balance would collapse and the world might perish. “It’s no longer just a matter of things not going according to fate.”

At the end of the lengthy explanation, the sun god turned his gaze and looked directly at me, who was standing behind them, and spoke.

“So, let me make a suggestion. The one who shattered fate with a mere human body. Wouldn’t he be praised for his feat and be reborn as a god?”
