I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines - I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines chapter 237

237Th Chapter. □□ Flower (4)

Three days.

Three days.

Chewing slowly, I felt that time was running out.

This place was an unstable world from the beginning.

Some of Draken were hidden deep within me, as I had erased my memories.

However, this time, I had pulled them out and exposed them to the laws of the world.

The time for free talk was coming to an end.

I could feel parts of Draken gradually becoming distorted and twisted.

‘This is the last time. This is the last chance to face the undistorted truth of Draken.’

I instinctively felt it.

The law was distorting Draken’s will.

His true intentions would never reach us.

And if this place, where the eyes of the law could not reach, collapsed now, there would be no second chance to hear Draken’s intentions.

We would clash without knowing what was going on.

We would fight without knowing what the other person wanted.

It was too disgusting to do that.

Simply because Draken was the final boss of the original work was not enough to reject and kill him.

I needed to be sure.

I needed to be sure that Draken was the absolute evil.

“Why do you want to destroy the present world?”

-Destruction… what?-

Thud.

My teeth were gritted.

Even as the world shook, the void was torn apart, and the world collapsed, the camellia flower just swayed.

Are you going to pretend you don’t know?

If not, do you think it’s no big deal that humanity is perishing?

Or…

-What do you mean?-

Do you not know that your advent will destroy humanity?

The camellia flower’s voice trembled slightly, as if it were slightly bewildered.

I was also confused by this.

I was convinced.

It wasn’t the conviction I had originally wanted.

But I had just now become convinced that there was some kind of misunderstanding.

“When you come, all life in the present world will become extinct. It will become a world where no intelligent creature can survive.”

-What? That, that… that’s what I wanted…-

“If that’s not what you wanted, stop right now, Draken!”

-It’s no use! I’m just a part of him! I can’t convince or stop the main body! Ah, ah. I just… I just □□□□ □□□…-

Then the whole world lit up and my vision was filled with light.

Draken’s voice became grotesquely distorted.

I felt myself being sucked away again.

“Ugh…!”

The moment I opened my eyes.

I came to my senses as I fell through the void.

Mijung ran up to me in a hurry and hugged me.

“How long was I gone?”

“······About 10 seconds.”

“There are three days left until the destruction. We have to stop Draken by then.”

“······.”

The atmosphere became heavy in an instant.

.

.

.

A dark room.

In the shadows, two red eyes gleamed brightly.

Belphegor swallowed hard.

“Belphegor. Didn’t you serve Draken the closest?””That, that’s true, but…”

“You couldn’t clearly understand Draken’s will?”

“That’s right. What would you call it… I couldn’t understand anything except for some really primitive desires. Other than the fact that he wants to come to this world, the present world, his purpose, everything…”

“······.”

Eugene washed his face and organized his thoughts for a moment.

It was a clearly revealed truth that Draken wanted to descend to the present world by any means necessary.

Both Eugene and Belphegor agreed on that.

However, it was unclear whether his purpose was to destroy the present world.

The great destruction of the present world was merely a side effect that would occur as a result of Draken’s descent.

In fact, it seemed like Draken didn’t know exactly what effect his descent would have on the present world.

“This is just my guess… It’s a very dangerous guess…”

“Tell me.”

“It seems like Draken doesn’t have any malicious intent. His purpose isn’t to descend to the present world and destroy it or whatever, but rather, he simply wants to reach the present world itself.”

“What… what…”

Belphegor stared at Eugene as if he was talking nonsense.

Generally speaking, it would have been nonsense.

Why do people eat food?

It’s to savor the taste of the food and feel a sense of happiness.

In the end, all of humanity’s actions are means to an ultimate purpose.

And we don’t doubt that others are the same.

But is Draken an ordinary intelligent being?

No. In fact, rather than an intelligent being, he’s closer to a giant world with a will.

That’s why there was an error when trying to understand Draken with a human mindset.

As he explained this in detail, Belphegor’s expression, which had been glaring at Eugene, gradually softened.

He had been dismissing it as nonsense, but as he listened, he felt like he was being persuaded.

On the other hand, he thought, ‘So what?’

“What difference does it make if we know that? In the end, he’s rushing to descend to the present world. And the moment he descends, the present world will be destroyed, whether he wants it or not.”

“That’s true.”

“Are you trying to persuade him? A being whose will is distorted and misinterpreted? It’s useless. It’s impossible to have a conversation with him. The only possible conversation is a battle where we pit our wills against each other and take each other’s lives.”

Belphegor was right.

Knowing that wouldn’t change anything.

Draken would undoubtedly descend to the present world, and Eugene had to stop him.

So what was he worrying about?

Belphegor could only feel frustrated as Eugene continued to ponder, his chin in his hand.

“Don’t tell me you’re getting soft? Did you feel sorry for him because you found out that he didn’t intend to kill us?”

“······.”

“Listen carefully, Eugene! You’re carrying the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the present world and all the life that covers its surface on your shoulders! I can’t send you into battle with such a soft mentality! So, so! I’ll take it upon myself to knock some sense into you…!”

“Calm down. I’m not sympathizing with Draken or anything.”

Gulp.

Belphegor, who had grabbed Eugene by the collar and raised his fist, quickly became gentle-eyed and cowered.

Eugene’s condition was strange, so he had been prepared to be killed in a counterattack, but he had intended to beat Eugene up and straighten him out.Eugene’s mental state seemed to be more stable than I thought.

-What are you worrying about so much? There’s nothing to worry about at all.-

“I have to kill him. Can’t I drag him to our side? I’ve been thinking about this.”

-That’s a roundabout way again! How can you persuade someone who can’t even communicate, and how can you get them on our side–

“I’m not going to persuade him. I think I can incapacitate him by beating him up.”

-······-

So.

To summarize, if I fail, I’ll risk the entire world being destroyed by Draken and try to capture him?

Belfagor’s expression was roughly dull.

I’ve never seen a bigger idiot in my life.

***

It’s a gamble with a lot of risk.

If only my life was at stake, I would have stepped forward without hesitation.

But since it’s a gamble with the fate of the entire world, I had no choice but to take it seriously.

“In the end, is it my greed?”

I think I’ve been played enough by the system so far.

How many times have I been running around in circles to achieve a triple 95 percent completion rate that can never be filled?

It was a clear condition overflowing with malice.

The second condition forces me to kill Draken, who is bound and gagged by the system.

If you ask me if it’s possible to catch Draken in that state, I can do it anytime as long as I have the supplies ready right now.

Now that I have the ultimate, I can theoretically even cut down a single world.

If I defeat Draken like that, the game will be cleared.

I’ll be going back to the real world soon.

······At best, I’ve reunited with the heroines, but it means I’ll be torn apart again.

I don’t like that.

That’s why from here on out, it’s purely my greed.

It’s my selfishness.

“What’s wrong with that?”

“······.”

“Eugene has worked hard enough. More than sacrificing your life······. I even sacrificed my existence······.”

Jill, trembling, hugs my waist.

It seems that the trauma has not completely subsided yet.

Even though I somehow manage to control myself in front of people, in a space where there is nothing to watch, I hug her so tightly that I can’t move.

“Anyway, the world would have been ruined a long time ago if it hadn’t been for Eugene. To be honest, I don’t think it matters if Eugene just destroys it.”

“······.”

Is this a statement that a saint can make?

I was taken aback for a moment, but I couldn’t blame Jill for being honest with me.

If I were to ask myself if I had never thought that way in a corner of my heart, I wouldn’t be able to be completely honest.

“We, the saint, said something a little too radical, but······. I, I also have a similar opinion······. I respect Eugene’s will. I hope you do as Eugene wants. We’ve been swayed too much by fate so far······. Even if it’s a dangerous and difficult path, I don’t think it’s bad to resist fate at the end.”

Julia also said a word······ no, several words.

“Yerina. What about you?”

“I don’t think much. I’ll do it if Eugene does it. I believe it.”

“Really?”

“······I decided to believe it.”

As long as Yerina has madness left, there is no 100 percent trust.

The same goes for me.But even though Yerina doesn’t fully trust me, she wants to entrust everything to me.

Her own life.

The future of the present world.

I haven’t told these guys that if they don’t choose this path, I’ll go back to my original world.

I can’t imagine what their reaction would be if I brought that up······.

Nevertheless, public opinion has shifted in my favor.

“And somehow, I have a hunch that this is the right path. It’s as if everything······. It’s as if everything is designed to kill that guy Draken. He’s an opponent who doesn’t communicate and comes to destroy us. His intentions are too obvious. Eugene, it was the same when I couldn’t recognize you. If I had cut you down then······.”

Yerina shudders as if she’s creeped out.

Yerina’s right.

It’s as if everything is perfectly aligned to tell us to kill Draken.

If I had followed that structure, I would have been killed by Yerina long ago.

Yerina would have regretted it to the bone.

I think we’ve come to a conclusion.

It’s obvious what I have to do now.

“First, I need a magic stone. The best magic stone.”
