Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 276

276 – Life and Death (5)

Not even anyone could understand. Neither Jason, Perseus, nor Hercules could understand how they had deserted.

Although they did not show it on the outside, the crew of the Argo had a vague sense that they had received some sort of hint.

To be precise, he implicitly realizes that he has been influenced by Jason’s ideas. As time passes, she realizes that her dream was nothing more than something Jason gave her.

The reason he didn’t feel awkward even though he knew that fact was because his dream soon became their dream, and even though it may have started with someone’s influence or suggestion, it was because he sincerely wanted to make that dream come true.

The world, what a grand purpose. This sea is only a very small part of that world. There is a lot to achieve in the future. How could you not be excited about so many tasks?

In the past, the Argonauts did not have such strong motivation. But it’s different now.

Now that the number of people has increased and solidarity has become stronger, the Argonauts share a strong sense of purpose so that no one can turn away from their dreams.

But she turned away. She overcame her greed for the world.

“How did you do it?”

Hercules’ inorganic expression broke.

“Uh… really? “I heard it worked because I did it?”

Jo Ayun’s voice sounded dumbfounded, perhaps because she hadn’t expected it.

‘This is really happening.’

In fact, it wasn’t something that was completely unexpected. It was because of what Han Jaejoong secretly conveyed before this operation began.

-‘Ayun-ah.’

-‘Why are you a playboy?’

-‘Even if you feel like you will be brainwashed by the enemy during this operation, don’t bother resisting. ‘Just get it.’

-‘Have you got wind in your brain?’

For a moment, I wondered if Han Jaejoong had developed a new perverted tendency, but my doubts were resolved with his next words.

-‘I want to find out whether self-resistance is possible while being brainwashed.’

What Han Jaejoong had was not a perverted interest, but a desire for victory. They were trying to destroy brainwashing, which was a more troublesome ability than regeneration or reinforcement.

-‘So, once you’ve been brainwashed, try to undo that brainwashing. It would be better if you awakened a little more spectacularly so that other magical girls can see what you are doing.’

Jo Ayun listened to Han Jaejoong’s story with a slightly reluctant expression. He was assuming that he would definitely succeed.

He said he was curious about whether he could resist brainwashing on his own while being brainwashed, and it seemed like he already knew the answer just by hearing him say it.

He had no doubt that Jo Ayun would break the brainwashing.

Jo Ayun spoke of the possibility of failure in response to that trust. He asked why he would say such things if he failed.

-‘Because you have never disappointed me. That’s why I believe it will happen this time too.’

Han Jaejoong answered coolly with a calm face.

Jo Ayun’s face turned bright red. What are you talking about? I’m not crazy.

Do you even know how burdensome such a belief is in the first place? Do you know how hard you have to work to do your part as your enemies and allies gradually become stronger?

I didn’t necessarily say those words out loud. Even as she grumbled internally, the corners of her mouth twitched and went up.

-‘Even if you fail, I will definitely save you. So please consider it.’

It was a burdensome trust, but at the same time, above all, a joyous trust. A trusting relationship formed only between him and her. No one else, not even lovers, family members, or rivals, will be able to build this kind of trust.

They were unique to each other. It felt like I was concretizing in words what I knew deep down. My heart tickled.

-‘Okay, okay.’

Jo Ayun nodded.

I promised myself that I would definitely live up to his expectations.

And she succeeded.

Succeeded in resisting brainwashing. Additionally, her resistance had a significant impact.

Hercules and other monsters were quite embarrassed when they saw Jo Ayun’s betrayal. From Jo Ayun’s perspective, it was a return to his allies, but to them, it was a betrayal. The body can regenerate, but the confusion of the mind cannot be recovered. The confusion created a gap for them.

The biggest takeaway was the reaction of other magical girls.

“betrayal…?”

“Wow, that’s crazy!”

Orange Altair’s pupils trembled in confusion. Unlike him, White Davich was impressed as if it was interesting.

Just as a stone falls into a lake and causes ripples, their hearts also become shaken.

‘If you’re going to do it, do it in a flashy way.’

Odette spread her wings wide.

‘So everyone here can see me.’

Feathers fell from its wings. The shape of the fluttering feathers was that of a butterfly. A majestic pink glow, like a galaxy, colored the sky. The blue sky turned pink like the sunset after a typhoon.

It felt like a spring day. It was as if the previous season had already come back and the sky was embroidered with flowers.

It was mysterious and beautiful. There was nothing lacking aesthetically. Everyone was overwhelmed by the sight that occurred in an instant. The magic had not unfolded in earnest yet, but the sight alone was enough to call it magic.

Countless butterflies flew in the wind like flower petals.

It wasn’t the piece for her dream. Pieces of someone else’s dream. Just as an ordinary butterfly carries pollen, her butterfly flew with pieces of a dream.

Jo Ayun has no dreams. But she is capable of protecting other people’s dreams. It is possible to return to them the dreams that even they themselves have lost.

Butterflies carried the starlight of the galaxy. What they carry is magic, dreams, and possibility.

Because there is no dream in this world that cannot be achieved.

Even if it is a dream that is infinitely close to impossible, there is no reason not to support that dream.

Jo Ayun gives those dreamers a little push on their backs. From dream to reality. Making the impossible possible.

Her magic is to connect paths. Connecting the end to end so that you can ignore walls and proceed straight ahead.

Now, we have gone beyond simply connecting roads, and have created the road itself.

The flower path that exists only in dreams is brought out as a possibility in reality. That was Odette’s galactic magic.

Just as in the past, Han Jae-joong was given the possibility to overcome death and obtain the power to prevent the destruction of the world.

Even now, I have given similar possibilities to other colleagues.

The possibility of being able to overcome any hardship and achieve the desired task.

One of those possibilities was recovering forgotten dreams.

One day, I thought while looking at the beautiful sky.

‘A long time ago, I saw a sky like that with Gray.’

An old thought came to mind. The person who approached me for the first time, I was immersed in the memories that came from that special feeling.

I thought of that cozy and warm time in my daily life filled with inertia.

But now I can’t go back to that time. The person who created the warmth of those days is already dead and gone. The dead are cold. It was the same with Han Jaejoong, who came back to life as a corpse. Even conversation is impossible because her soul is in the afterlife.

No matter how much I remember and think about it, nothing changes. She has already gone on a long journey.

So, what we need to do now is remember and overcome.

“I will use your body well… live happily in the afterlife.”

He had to overcome what the woman he killed left behind.

Haru played the flute. Her shadow grew huge. The greatly expanded shadow hit Haru like a wave. The shadows that scattered like spray of water soon gathered together behind Haru’s back and took on a new form.

The shape of the shadow was a hand. The hands gathered around Haru’s neck. It became like it was strangling Haru. A faint human shape appeared behind Haru. It looked infinitely similar to a ghost.

Seungcheong (承聽).

I support you and follow you.

When you die, you inherit the power that deserves to disappear.

Haru, who inherited Gray’s power, looked at Nautius with sharp eyes. The monster of southern Pisces. The monster who helped kill Gray Sadalsud was there now.

A shadow sharpened like a blade stabbed Nautius in the back following the sound of the flute.

A second betrayal occurred.

From noble mtl dot net

“Senior’s enemy! “Die!”

Silver Luna muttered in an absurd voice after hearing White Davich’s powerful declaration.

“You were the one who killed Gray….”

Unlike Silver Luna’s embarrassment, White Davich was confident without a moment of hesitation. Anyone who sees her will think she is truly innocent.

‘…Now is not the time to fight.’

In the end, being an ally was good news. The important thing right now is to take down the men on this ship.

Above all. You have to survive against that monster.

“…What did you do?”

When the second traitor appeared, Hercules fired at Odette.

“I didn’t do anything. “That kid just took the opportunity I gave him.”

Even if the possibility is opened, if there is no will, the possibility remains just a possibility. Seizing that opportunity and making it a reality was possible thanks to Haru’s strong will.

In fact, other monsters were still hostile to magical girls. Even though they still had a chance to get their dreams back.

“Are you not planning on betraying me?”

“does not exist. “I will take over the world.”

“Fuck you little b*stard.”

“It’s an unusual sentiment to call this aspiration a small man.”

Hercules’ sharp eyes pierced Odette.

“You just used up a lot of starlight and stamina with that feat.”

It was the perfect answer. It took some time for Odette to become proficient in magic again.

Wow. Chii Iik.

Just by clenching my fist, the leather rubbed and a burning sound was heard. Tremendous grip strength. If I were caught in those hands, it was obvious that not a single bone would be broken.

“The only thing a traitor can say is death.”

Hercules approached. He approached Odette with just one foot print. fast. I didn’t even have time to activate the butterfly. A movement that transcends perception. It was difficult to even follow it with the eyes.

But just one person. The magical girl with exceptionally good eyes continued to follow Hercules’ movements.

The moment the fist was swung at Odette, an arrow came between Odette and Hercules’ fists and became an obstacle. The arrow that was broken by Hercules’ fist emitted an intense flash of light.

A function that is just bright. However, light that is too bright burns the eyes and causes pain just by being bright.

Hercules lost sight and frowned. He didn’t lose his eye, but his vision was hit and everything became blurry.

Odette did not miss that moment. He flew two butterflies. One cut off Hercules’ remaining arm and moved it to another space, and the other moved Odette herself.

She leaped through space and stood on top of the ship’s mast. It was the highest and easiest place to snipe.

“Are you awake?”

“…Ah, sorry about earlier.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. “Because you have always been a nuisance to me.”

“Joe, you can say it a little nicer!”

Orange Altair, she too was brainwashed around the same time as Haru.

She didn’t have any grand excuses like enemies. She was able to let go of her greed for her world without having to do anything like that.

Friend’s crisis. That alone was enough.

You must help your friend who came to save you. Suddenly a thought occurred to me. The moment she surfaced, her body was shooting out her bow to help her.

With this, all the magical girls in this space have returned to their original state.

“There are many traitors.”

Hercules looked around. Nautius was seen being hacked to pieces by White Davich.

“The enemy must die!!!!”

“Are you going to kill yourself White?”

I heard that he was quite strong when he was alive, but in the end, he was only a talent of that level. Or maybe she was suppressing Nautius’ abilities with her magic.

Whatever it was, it was a self-evident fact that most of the monsters here were useless. There was no way to deal with magical girls who had grown considerably.

“Betrayal is inherently unforgivable.”

But that’s when they are all individuals.

“But this sea is benevolent. So do we who own the sea. “I will give you one more chance.”

All monsters except Hercules stopped moving. They knelt as if they were performing a pious ceremony or as if they were praying. All their eyes were on Hercules.

All their strength was focused on Hercules.

Hercules’ arms did not regenerate. This was because his arm was not amputated but merely moved to another space. The sensation was still connected. He saw two arms floating in the sky.

I tried moving the fingers on my arm. She was still awkward, but had no trouble moving. Hercules’ arms twitched and trembled in the sky.

“One last time.”

Both arms clenched into fists. Hercules lifted his legs.

His two fists hit the air like drums and his legs hit the deck.

The world shook.

“What the fuck….”

A huge tremor occurred and blew everything around. As if struck by a huge vibrating blade, only traces of destruction remained where the vibration passed.

Odette tried to fly the butterfly, but the space around the vibrations was distorted, making the butterfly’s effect strange. The possibility of moving to another, unexpected place arose. Should I take that gamble and move?

By the time I thought about that, it was already too late. The shaking caused by Hercules hit Odette. She is not the only one.

The destruction was unleashed on all other enemies and allies alike. The weak monster’s body was reduced to powder and scattered.

Hercules’ body, which was at the center of the shaking, was shattered into pieces, leaving no trace. At the same time that the ship was restored, Hercules’ body was also restored.

The two amputated arms were also attached.

“Be our comrade.”

His suggestion once again shook the magical girls’ ears and even their brains.

“Well, I refuse… ugh….”

Silver Luna tried to refuse outright, but hesitation arose in her mind. He was instantly intrigued by the offer.

She was relatively fine compared to other people. This is because White Davih protected him.

When I saw White Davih with no healthy spots on his whole body, I was able to calm my shaking heart.

“Why, why….”

“Fuck, don’t you have to live to deal with that b*stard… haha!”

White Davich coughed up blood. I stumbled as if even flying was difficult now. Her Silver Luna held her in her arms, pinning her in the air.

“…thank you. “I guess I misunderstood you.”

“I just need to know. “There is no one as kind as me.”

“But that’s not it.”

“No, I saved you…”

Silver Luna pursed her lips after a short moment of thought.

“…Why did you kill Gray?”

“That’s it… because I had to kill him.”

“So why?”

“My transformation into a monster… progressed… After wasting too much magical power and going through a lot of mental trouble, I tried to become a monster. So… Ah. that’s right.”

White Davih raised a finger. Although her body was weak and she was quite shaken, Silver Luna was able to read where she was pointing without difficulty.

“Like that. The transformation into a monster is progressing… Huh? “A monster?”

“…this.”

There was a magical girl where she pointed. A magical girl who exudes dark magical power. A girl who seems to have the ferocity of a monster at any moment.

“…Jiknyeo?”

That girl was Red Vega. Starlight like dark red blood formed at the tip of her red hair. Flames welled up in her blood. She seemed more vicious than brilliant.

‘Oh no way….’

The white of Red Vega turned black. A sharp eye light flashed.

All of these factors indicated that Red Vega was now in the process of becoming a monster.

Jo Ayun broke into a cold sweat as she observed Baek Ah-hee, who, no matter how much she looked at her, did not change in a good direction.

Creating infinite possibilities through magic…

‘Have I awakened to a slightly different possibility…?’

It is definitely an awakening. After awakening, your standing position will change slightly.

Possibilities that could not have been imagined in existing battlefields, such as trading allies with enemies, have opened up.

What the fuck are you doing? Ayun.

It was easy to imagine how Han Jaejoong would react upon seeing this scene.

‘I’m sorry, brother.’

Jo Ayun, you’re screwed!
