Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 266
266 – Storm (5)
The brainwashing ability that turns allies into enemies is difficult to deal with.
‘The person who has now fallen to the enemy…’
I quickly scanned the crowd. The magic flowing from the eyes is powerful. Also, be honest. No one thought they had to make facial expressions in a place like this, so their eyes reflected their emotions exactly.
The people who clearly fell over were the people who were on this ship from the beginning: Orange Altair and all of the missing Japanese magical girls.
The only people who probably passed over were the three unfamiliar magical girls who came with us.
There is one person who almost passed over.
“uh…? Why do I…”
It was Red Vega.
‘Why…’
Although it was fortunate that he didn’t fall into brainwashing right away, the slightest shaking was fatal.
‘A brainwashing group that works regardless of the brightness of the stars.’
While she, who was divine, showed psychological agitation, there were some who were weaker than her and did not even suffer from agitation.
‘The influence of mental power will be greater than the power of each individual.’
This means that Yoon Seol-hwa and Han Jae-joong could also be affected by brainwashing. If either her own or her falls over, her fight is over.
There was such a helpless gap between the two and the others.
[Ugh, kids these days… Tsk tsk, back in my day, I resisted all that brainwashing! My next Red b*tch couldn’t resist that?! This is disrespectful to past Reds!]
‘Suchae, can you open your mouth for a moment?’
[Who dares try to silence me! I will not be a slave!]
Jaejoong Han, who failed to cover Spica’s mouth, accepted her whispers and opened his mouth.
“It’s a snowflake.”
“Yeah, I know.”
There is one thing to do now.
“Can’t we turn that guy into a mess before he gets impurities in my brain?”
“Exactly.”
“If I succeed, do I have to give a reward later?”
“I’ll consider it.”
Naturally, a thick darkness condensed behind the left shoulder of the Hound, who was seated next to the Watcher.
Likewise, the Watcher also had a similar form of darkness condensed near her right shoulder.
They raised their fingers at the same time. At the end of it, there was a small bead-like condensed darkness. It was as if snowflakes had fallen.
“Odette.”
“I know.”
Odette held a butterfly between her fingers. He swung his hand as if to strike down, and the butterflies flew all at once.
“How dare you….”
Amundsen raised his bow.
“How dare you!”
But at that moment, the fist blocked the arrow. The fist pointed downwards, and the arrow that left his hand punched a hole in his stomach.
“How shameful of you trying to shake my heart! The only thing I follow is my benefactor and justice! Now, finish it!”
Silver Luna shouted.
“oh….”
Red Vega, who could not act faster than her, looked at the scene with envy.
Odette’s butterflies landed right on the magical girls. Those who had been on the ship until just moments ago disappeared in an instant and flew into the air.
At the same time, the Black Balls of Watcher and Hound landed on both sides of the ship.
The darkness that had been condensed was liberated.
Quaaa! The darkness spread like an explosion, eating everything around it and growing bigger.
The ship was torn apart and all of the people inside were cut into pieces like splinters of wood. The entire body was torn apart on both sides and swallowed by darkness.
It was only a moment before the Argonauts, wandering the sky, disappeared from this world. It was all over before he could cope.
Han Jaejoong looked into empty space.
[Looking at their faces, it looks like they haven’t been brainwashed?]
Spica said, looking at the magical girl who was a member of the Argo. Jaejoong Han also agreed.
‘It disappeared without leaving a single fragment behind. Even if the Argo Family we saw in the past regenerates, it’s normal for them to die… But.’
I felt anxiety on the faces of the magical girls who had not been brainwashed.
There was no feeling at all that it was over.
“Did you kill it?!”
“White, I told you to stop saying things like that!”
The Hound gave a sharp warning to White Davih, who was already anxious and was aggravating his anxiety.
“Well, let’s start with what to do with the brainwashed magical girls!”
Red Vega suggested. It wasn’t wrong. What we need to focus on now are those who were brainwashed.
“We will not give in!”
“Goodbye Captain! “You will live on in my heart!”
“Why aren’t you coming, Captain? “Say you want to live!!!”
“You guys didn’t talk that way, right?!”
Silver Luna expressed confusion at the change in her colleagues.
“I was dead back then! “I am now born again with passion and romance!”
“Hey, there’s no way I’m being lukewarm like that!”
“Ah… my head hurts….”
You can’t live like this for the rest of your life, right? Silver Luna’s anxiety accelerated even more.
From what he was saying, it seemed like he had not forgotten the past itself. It was closer to remembering the past but not paying any attention to it.
They were blinded by the passionate greed that Jason had instilled in them.
To be exact, he was both blind and deaf. They could talk, but they wouldn’t listen. Since I couldn’t speak, it was as if I couldn’t hear.
Animals that cannot communicate will have more emotional interactions.
“Altaïr, come to your senses!”
“Keuuu….”
From noble mtl dot net
Orange Altair, who had just been brainwashed, was holding his head in confusion.
The dream doesn’t come to mind. The memories remain, but I can’t recall them. As if I was being swept back by a strong wave, my mind became increasingly distant from that memory.
Instead, like water rising, a new desire gradually emerged.
It was greed.
Greed for everything. I wanted to have everything I could see. No matter what I see, I am greedy and no matter what I see, I am intrigued. Infinite greed. It was greed for the world.
A strong desire soon leads to a strong motivation, and the desire itself becomes a dream.
The dream is overwritten. Just as a body drifting in the waves craves oxygen, a mind drifting in desire craves a dream.
“Three, the world… the world in my hands…”
“Mr. Altair!”
Red Vega shouted urgently. She was holding Altair’s hand in panic.
I felt fear.
If he had been a little late, he would have ended up like that too. He would have served other people’s dreams as if they were his own and thought that this ocean was an ancient dream.
The sea is the mother of all living things. Her own new dream would also have been conceived in that mother’s arms.
When I thought about that, I got chills and got goosebumps on my arms.
“Remember your dreams!”
That was also something I said to myself.
Her dream is to become a star that everyone can look up to. A signpost for the lost. The best star that brings stability to the hearts of those who are anxious.
Being the best, she had to be the highest.
Therefore, the moment I realized that the highest place was too far away from me, it was inevitable that I would fall into the illusion that the dream was moving away.
The fight against contradictions had many repercussions. To land, farmland, society, and even individuals. It was a battle that left numerous impacts.
The same thing happened to Baek A-hee.
Yun Seol-hwa was so powerful that she transcended the horizon of thought. The moment I stepped forward to help, I only became a hindrance. The difference between her and the current Baek Ah-hee is so great that it cannot be fully measured in words.
The power of a supernova.
I didn’t do that when I heard the power in words. But the moment she witnessed it, she realized it.
I saw it. That act contained a power stronger than mere words.
Realize the difference, realize reality, and realize your shortcomings.
It’s okay up to here. But when someone else who they thought was just like them narrowed the gap, the anxiety grew.
The clash of two enormous forces that make everyone hesitate to step forward. Into that fight, Han Jaejoong moved his feet without hesitation.
He was weak. Much more than Baek Ahee. The star power he could use was worse than that of drug addicts, and his body was as soft as a stuffed doll. If you intervened in their fight, you would only be torn to pieces.
But he proved it.
He saved Yun Seol-hwa, who was about to fall into danger, and defeated Mo Jeong.
There was a huge difference between him before he fell into a huge valley with no end in sight and after he came out of it.
Was it because they thought they were rivals? He saw that he had become too powerful compared to what he was now, and felt anxious at the gap.
It was of no help in the fight.
This is an objective fact
The moment she realized that, Baek Ah-hee gained a sense of purpose.
You have to be strong.
“Your dream… think about it! “You can’t lose!”
If it doesn’t help in later fights, it shouldn’t be done. It must shine like a star. You must not allow yourself to disappear by being buried in another light. No matter what light there is, it will shine without fading. I want to do that.
To put it in a good way, it was passion; in a bad way, it was passion.
Passion and passion.
Passionate affection and an ugly, shallow heart.
I became anxious after burning with passionate dreams and comparing myself to others in an ugly and shallow way.
Those two passions roamed Baek Ah-hee’s mind.
Admiration and jealousy. It wavered between them.
I wanted to prove myself just like them.
I want to show the world strength, unwavering will, and a strong light that everyone can trust and follow.
It was noble and stubborn at the same time.
Her opinion was so strong that no one could stop her.
-‘Red Vega please stay here.’
-‘no! no, I do not want!’
That was why he rejected Unicorn’s offer to dissuade Red Vega from participating in the operation, saying that the defense would be too weak if the two divine magic girls went abroad.
-‘I plan to grow even further through this operation! It’s difficult to stay here!’
-‘If you don’t stay, I’ll be in trouble…’
After repeated conversations drawing parallel lines, it was the unicorn who eventually gave in.
Unicorn agreed to Baek A-hee’s participation in the operation. However, with a time limit.
three days.
That was how long she could be abroad.
I thought it would be okay. Her unexplained pride was flowing through her, thinking that since her rival had become stronger, she would also become stronger.
But, no.
‘My dreams were shaken.’
Neither Yun Seol-hwa nor Han Jae-joong were swayed by Jason’s suggestion. He was not swayed even by those weaker than him.
But he himself was shaken. Baek A-hee almost got tricked by him.
Why on earth?
Baek Ah-hee became even more anxious.
Was my love and peace poor compared to theirs? Is it because I lack that desire that a gap is created in my heart? What was lacking and what was lacking. Why couldn’t I become stronger like them? Did complacency and weakness in seeking both love and peace cause this difference? However, how can you challenge your dreams if you give up on your dreams because you cannot overcome reality?
This was jealousy and an inferiority complex.
It is envy towards someone who is superior to oneself, and anger towards oneself for being inferior to others.
A new will broke into that gap.
“We are magical girls! A magical girl who protects love and peace! Don’t be swayed by the monster’s estrangement! We are the king’s descendants, comrades, and riches who boarded the ship to take over the world. Even if the king’s appearance disappears, his will and greed will be praised and looked up to from generation to generation. That is why the king is immortal, greed is immortal, and dreams are eternal. King Even if we die, the will does not die. The dream does not die either. It does not die, so it is alive. Just as the sun does not die when night comes, we can see the king even if his appearance disappears. The king is here.”
In an instant, the surrounding air froze.
“What did I… say…?”
Someone placed a hand on the shoulder of Baek A-hee, who smiled awkwardly.
“then! As they say, even if your life dies, if your will does not die, you are not defeated! We will live forever until that will disappears from this world!”
Jason, who should have been dead, was alive and standing next to him.
“The Argo does not exist because of the captain! The Argo needs a captain! The shape of the Argo doesn’t matter either! A boat is just a tool! It’s just a tool they use to navigate the world! “Argo will be where they will take the world!”
Jason shouted bravely.
“Our adventure is forever!”
Behind them stood dozens of ships identical to the one just before. Jason scanned the audience with cold eyes.
“So… is that why you rejected my offer? “It’s a shame.”
Jason raised his hand. All the ships’ cannons were aimed at them.
“If you want to remain an intruder rather than a comrade, you have to do so. In that case, we can only repel the invaders on our own!”
The hand that was raised is facing down again.
“All troops! firing!”
There was silence.
Jason looked back curiously.
Before he knew it, frozen ships were in his sights. Every ship with a cannon froze.
“I’m sorry Jaejoong. “I didn’t have enough time.”
The Hound was breathing heavily, standing on one of the frozen ships.
“Originally, I would have to slit the leader’s head first, but… I don’t know how to undo the brainwashing. “For now, I’ve taken some rough measures.”
Jason’s arms were frozen, as were the boats.
“Did I do well?”
As she looked at Han Jae-joong while saying that, she had none of the sycophantism from before, and only had the air of a pet dog showing affection to its owner.
“under! “There’s nothing I can do about it!”
Jason laughed out loud.
“All troops retreat!”
With those words, Jason’s figure disappeared from sight.
There were no flying ships or clear seas.
What was visible was a dark sky covered by clouds, a storm, and a pitch-black sea with angry waves.
I was kicked out of the Goldilocks zone.
“You petty b*stard….”
[What if you call yourself an adventurer but don’t go on adventures?…]
Bewildered, Han Jaejoong burst into laughter.
