Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 268
268 – Proved by the Regressor (8)
“I couldn’t help it.”
A very tired voice speaks.
“There was no other option. This was the best. Humanity? Moral? The situation was not leisurely enough to mention such a soft word. The blizzard was gradually expanding its scope, and there was even a testimony that Bingryong could be heard breathing.”
A voice struggling to defend itself.
“People died in heaps. All I have is food piled up in the warehouse. The mouth to eat was reduced by half, or even more. My best was to bring all the food and keep it sealed.”
“It’s sophistry.”
I lift my chin and refute.
“You deceived the warriors. The reason those people lived was to be used by you. “You are trash.”
“I am trash. And it wasn’t deception, it was mercy.”
A voice answers.
“You guy. Have you ever raised an animal? Even if you haven’t raised it, you’ll still eat meat, right?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Pig. Cow. Chicken. “Imagine that at some point, they gain intelligence close to that of a human.”
“… “
“An animal scheduled for slaughter. Domestic animals, who have been used throughout their lives and whose bodies are ultimately destined to be used as meat, must have reason… “I am just unhappy.”
Even if chickens raised on a farm become aware of the opposite sex at some point. Nothing changes. You can’t change your destiny with the abnormal behavior of just one chicken.
“I resisted like that at first. Angry. Despair… At some point, you end up waiting for death day after day. Have you ever thought about the feelings of livestock destined for destruction?”
“… “
It’s not wrong. Sure… If you must kill, it is better for both sides if the person being killed is stupid. What if the barbarians the man was talking about were rational?
They are trapped in a time barrier with a fearsome warlock, they are going to be sacrificed to the devil, and there is no way to escape. Just have to wait for death. How hopeless and scary this situation is. Rather, this could be said to be mercy.”
“You keep coming up with sophistry.”
But as I said before, this is a story about when you ‘must’ kill.
“Have you thought about finding another way? No. Now that you’ve admitted that you’re trash, there’s nothing more to say. Still, you shouldn’t insist on me. “I couldn’t help it.”
I crossed my arms and spoke confidently.
“It was inevitable that only someone who has found another way can say that. Did you even try? Probably not.”
The warlock said. I couldn’t help it. This was the best. I don’t think he has the right to say that.
“I saw your memories. What you want is recognition? I don’t approve of your methods. “I have no intention of admitting it.”
“… “
“And that about livestock. Is this your story? “I also enjoy using a similar method.”
No matter how much I thought about the livestock story from earlier, it seemed like an autobiographical story.
“Perhaps, you too lived a life like that of a livestock in the past. Still, isn’t it still alive like it is now? Can we really be confident that there is no hope for chickens and cows?”
“… Okay. There’s no guarantee. “Some kind of miracle may happen, and an answer to coexistence may emerge.”
A warlock who calmly admits it.
“But what happened to me was no miracle. I was born as the illegitimate child of a noble family, and was scheduled to be murdered for political reasons. We were raised with a clear purpose.”
“It’s a pity, though. “I think it’s beside the point.”
“Listen. I wanted to live. That’s true. Knowing that I would definitely die, I wanted to live even more. I thought that if I could live, I could do things I couldn’t do. “It was that earnest.”
The warlock’s voice cracks. The scent of blood is mixed in the voice of his.
“A warlock invaded our family. He killed his parents, his older brother and sister, and his servant. After killing them all, he asked me if I wanted to become his disciple. Rejection, of course, meant death.”
“… “
“I wanted to live. But… I wanted to live my life my way. I didn’t want to live a life where someone else was forcing food into my mouth. Chickens and cows cannot survive on their own. A miracle must be instilled by someone else. I wouldn’t want to live someone else’s life like that…Wouldn’t it be better to just die?”
The warlock mutters, “It’s a pointless story now.”
“I repeat, I am a wicked person. It’s human waste. But this was the best. I don’t think of the warriors I raised as human. They are irrational livestock. If you’re going to show some foolish mercy, this is for their benefit. Aren’t they actually happy?”
Happiness. It’s happiness.
The warriors seemed happy. Without any worries or worries, I was just doing my best for the goal of death. The warlock called it mercy. However, this is hypocrisy. It is hypocrisy to eat chicken raised in an environmentally friendly manner.
“I repeat, you don’t deserve the best. “Are you really sure that’s the best?”
“No. “There is no one who can know that for sure except you, the returner.”
The calm dark wizard’s voice begins to contain anger.
“Are you sure? You seem to have lost your mind, right? Do you think other people have the opportunity to try out all the options like you do and then choose the one that suits their taste? I just picked the one that looked best among the possibilities given! My life has always been like that! “I was forced to make a choice!”
“… “
“You… What do you know? Even if you fail, you can just go back, but do you know what failure is in its true meaning? “Do you know how I feel?”
I tried to retort something, but I was speechless. Because I felt like no matter what I said, I wouldn’t be able to convince him.
Okay, before we get into the tutorial. I also experienced big and small failures. However, if I were to ask this man, who had to make a choice with the fate of the world, ‘Did you do your best?’, Would I be in a position to admonish him? I don’t know about that.
“Hehe… Okay. It would be natural for you. Since I was given the ability, I guess I should use it.”
The warlock laughs.
“That is correct. It’s given to me, so I have to use it. Okay. Was this anger of mine the ugly jealousy of someone who had nothing?”
Suddenly, I felt like a warlock was glaring at me.
“Since you’re already jealous, I’ll even put a curse on you.”
His bloodshot eyes, his voice filled with the resentment of someone who has already lost and despaired, and his bitterness.
“I hope you find yourself in an unavoidable situation like me.”
“… “
“When everything is so wrong that you don’t know where it went wrong, when you can’t fix anything, I hope you realize that the next best option you chose was the worst option. “I hope you deeply regret it.”
The image of a warlock vomits blood.
Finally, I lost consciousness.

“Junho!”
“The pupil… “I think I’m awake.”
“Over there!”
“… “
Choi Ji-won grabs my shoulder and shakes me. A blue portal flickered behind her. Has the 27th floor been cleared?
“Dark horse… “What about a Buddhist priest?”
“He’s dead. No, I killed him.”
When I slowly turned my head, I saw the corpse of a warlock with his neck separated from his body. The blood-stained weapon of an Italian man was also seen.
“What happened? Suddenly, the warlock also falls… Junho also collapsed… “
A French woman asks with wide eyes. Since the distance was a little close, she pushed away slightly and said.
“Just… I had a mental battle. I won.”
“Aha… “
Actually, I think I won when the warlock’s body died, but wouldn’t it be better to catch him while he can set the mood? That is also the direction that suits this mysterious gi.
“Take some time to think… “
I dusted off my clothes and stood up. My head is complicated.
I don’t know the legitimacy or backstory of the warlock. There is only one thing I am interested in.
Warlock. Is he going to return too? I don’t know.
I’m not as strong as the old man who noticed my ‘return’, I’m not related to the Archangel, I’m not a player, and above all, I’m not that strong. It would be correct to say that it has become weaker, but whatever.
I can’t be sure because I don’t know the exact conditions. I think I’ll have to check this after regression.
Another thing to check is…
“What is the reward?”
“I heard you can check the rewards by going to the first floor? Let’s go right away?”
“What… Because I won. “I have a lot to talk about.”
Okay, let’s go out first. Let’s go out and look at the situation. The moment I organized my thoughts and tried to stand up.
-Let’s go!
-Gazaa!!!
Sudden commotion. From the direction of the cave entrance, a rumbling sound gradually got closer.
“Go…” Huh?”
“This… What is this… “
The warriors who finally arrived open their eyes wide as they look down at the corpse of the warlock.
“… Let’s go.”
I wasn’t confident enough to handle what happened after that, so I passed through the blue portal.
My problem alone was so confusing.
