Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 299

299 – Snake’s Head (8)

Jo Ayun felt death again.

The only change that occurred as the butterfly flew was a light breeze, which did not end the snake’s life.

This time, just like before, those sharp teeth will cut your throat.

It’s okay. It’s not scary. I’m used to it now.

Accepting death and moving forward was the natural thing to do.

Didn’t you succeed in making a move with this? Now all you have to do is a little more effort. Okay, just a little more…

I closed my eyes tightly. All I could see was darkness.

It reminded me of the fun pranks I had when I was a magical girl.

He orders his juniors to close their eyes and asks them what they see when they close their eyes. The moment my junior mentioned that dark scene, it was a kind of prophecy-like prank, telling him that was your future.

Now you’re the one on the receiving end of the prank. Jo Ayun laughed bitterly.

The problem was that for her it was not a joke, but a very serious reality.

The future is dark. The dream was far away, and reality was cold.

It’s okay. Isn’t this already familiar? There is no need to be scared or sad again.

I waited for death in sorrow.

However, no matter how long I waited, the predicted death did not come. There wasn’t even any pain. It was so comfortable.

“…?”

The smell of the city and the coolness of the wind passing by my nose are so vivid. It showed that she was still alive.

“what…?”

“are you okay?”

Now I hear a voice I thought I would never hear again.

The Watcher was standing holding the snake’s body in one hand.

What came was not death, but salvation.

“…What happened, Ayun?”

No words came out.

How is he here? Clearly, it was time for him to be in the snake’s coil. How could he, in a place where no contact, light, or sound could reach, notice Jo Ayun’s crisis and come to help?

Many questions came to mind, but they were soon consumed by emotions and disappeared. There was no need for a basis or process for rational judgment. The mere fact that he was here made his heart swell.

“Oppa….”

The weak voice was filled with tears. My neck trembled like a ringing bell. The image of him who had died countless times appeared overlaid on his living face. I got choked up.

“I… I worked really hard…”

It was my true feelings that came out through my blocked throat. He knew it was out of context, but he couldn’t stop. Sadness poured out like a torrent of water.

“I worked hard… a lot. “To be by my brother’s side.”

The words were not long-winded. It was almost plain compared to the emotions that came out.

It resembled the complaining of a child who did not know how to speak coherently.

From noble mtl dot net

“…But it didn’t work out.”

There was really no difference.

An outcast who grew up in an unfavorable family environment. A child who has not developed properly both mentally and physically. A fool who knows nothing but has a lot of pride. It hasn’t changed at all since then.

Jo Ayun was a child.

“I thought I could do it… hehehe… I guess I was too incompetent…”

I reassured myself countless times that it was okay. I thought that death would not be scary or sad because I was familiar with it. But no.

That feeling was also a kind of camouflage.

I just covered my face with thick makeup.

Jo Ayun was making things up so much that she fooled even herself. He wanted to stay strong. She is a strong woman who is not embarrassed in front of anyone.

But when I see him in front of me, all that makeup comes off.

Death was something you couldn’t get used to. She could not get used to the sadness of her loved one’s death, and the futility, fear, and pain that came from her own death could not be dulled either.

I desperately tried to pretend I was okay and held on. He calmed her mind by imitating a madman familiar with death.

Jo Ayun could not be a madman.

Death was sad, futile, scary, and painful no matter when it was experienced.

I couldn’t break those values.

I couldn’t use people around me as test subjects in order to succeed in my work, or use my entire life as a stepping stone for the next return in order to find out information about the snake.

If he was incompetent, he should have been clever. She put herself down countless times. Like a rock weathered by the wind, she was torn apart.

“I’m sorry, brother… I’m sorry…”

Is the life of a failure so meaningless? Jo Ayun, who could not be a savior or a madman, sobbed quietly.

“I couldn’t be your brother’s colleague.”

In the end, she couldn’t be a hero.

“Sorry….”

Jo Ayun repeatedly apologized, saying she was sorry. He was joined by Ara, who was next to him, and he awkwardly offered comforting words, but of course it didn’t work.

“Okay, I don’t know why you’re suddenly crying, but don’t be too sad. Originally, the world was led by a few chosen people, so ordinary people like us had no choice…”

“Keu, keuhdut! Tsk!”

This is because the words that were meant to be comforting turned out to be a huge fatal blow.

In order to lead others and enforce justice, you need the appropriate abilities. No matter how hard an ordinary person struggles, he or she will eventually achieve only the level of achievement he or she deserves.

There is a place for everyone. Even if you dream of something beyond that, nothing will change….

Han Jaejoong does not agree with those values.

“….”

I got heated for a while. Her self-deprecation got on Han Jaejoong’s nerves. It’s not that her anger towards him boiled over.

I felt angry at the reality that she had no choice but to be driven to such a point.

Of course, Jaejoong Han doesn’t know what exactly she went through. Seeing that the flow of time is tangled up, I can only guess that he went through hell that others don’t know about.

In fact, Han Jaejoong had seen such a person once.

Sky Polaris, the person who has lived the most life and experienced the most years in this world. A person who went through a lot of pain sleeping beneath the appearance of only being a girl.

Han Jaejoong felt her remnants in Jo Ayun. The girl who was trapped in hell for eternity and went crazy, the poor, terrible person who was no different from a child no matter how much time passed.

“Ayun-ah.”

He called her name. She was a name that made Jo Ah Yoon feel guilty just hearing it.

“I don’t know what you’ve been through. So I can’t sympathize with your pain. Of course, it would have been the same even if I knew.”

The moment he called her name, a strange feeling of intimidation enveloped her.

“But let me tell you one thing: I will save you regardless of your abilities or actions. “If I could do it again and again, I wouldn’t turn away.”

A stern yet warm voice. There is something Jo Ayun learned as she repeated her life.

“I’m not here to just want you to succeed. I’m not with you because you’re competent. Ah, Yuna. “I’m just by your side because you are you.”

It was true that he liked her more than she thought. Even though he kept losing his loved ones, he didn’t give up on life just because of Jo Yoon.

Jo Ayun knew.

Even if he is a failure, he will not give up on himself.

That’s why she couldn’t give up either.

I couldn’t give up on myself before that.

“And let me tell you one more thing. “You are not as much of a failure as you think.”

Butterflies that had been flown as a sign of resistance were fluttering in the sky. The butterfly that should have been in the snake’s mouth was in the sky.

It was natural. Because the snake is dead.

-Kaaa!!!

At that moment, the roar of a snake was heard across the sky. The snake in a foreign country screamed, spreading its pain and anger throughout the world.

The snake is angry.

Why?

Jo Ayun looked away. The head of the snake held in the watcher’s hand was slowly falling into pieces and disappearing.

Oh, no way.

I had goosebumps on my arms.

“Congratulations, Ayuna.”

What is in the watcher’s hand is a snake’s head.

It was a snake’s head.

Not an alter ego that carries out the commands created by the snake. One of the heads that make up a snake. One head equal to nine heads.

“You were a great person.”

A head that travels between hidden parallel worlds. The key element that made snakes immortal has died.

“…uh?”

She was immediately dumbfounded and checked several times to see if what she was seeing was real.

The snake’s head is dead. The tenth head, the hidden head, died.

Until now, Jo Ayun thought that the snake was one of the snake’s alter egos. In a way, he was natural. Although it was the size of a human body, it was much smaller than the head of other snakes.

But that was Jo Ayun’s mistake.

The cunning beast had deliberately induced such an accident.

Create a snake clone with a similar shape to that head and then kill it with a clumsy surprise attack, or intentionally place the snake in a conspicuous place so that it can be exorcised naturally.

The snake made people think that its head was for use and disposal.

So that you would never think that the head was a real head.

The perfect surprise attack that has been successful so far was because it crossed parallel universes and appeared from that square. Since it literally appeared out of thin air, I had no choice but to face it.

But it was only possible because I was confident that it would succeed. It was dangerous for Jo Ayun, who noticed the surprise attack through regression, to use her real brain.

However, the snake had a reason to take risk and act directly.

Each snake’s head thinks. Each thought can be shared with other heads through the central body.

In other words, the entire snake cannot be moved without passing through the main body. Also, it takes some time.

The delay was enough time for Jo Ayun to create a variable.

Therefore, the snake moving through the parallel universe dragged its heavy body.

Of course, it was a very dangerous action.

The snake was a key element in creating Hydra’s immortality.

The truth behind the mystery of immortality in Hydra is that the head grows back from the hidden snake and forms a new body.

Carelessly breaking out of hiding and moving around poses a risk of the truth being discovered by the enemy.

But he had confidence. I was confident that I would never be killed by someone like Jo Ayun.

However, what the snake failed to consider was the presence of Han Jae-joong. I had no idea that he would notice the regression.

It was the end of someone who was only wary of the power of the universe and not wary of its talents.

So one of the snake’s heads died.

The mystery of immortality and the snake’s escape.

The two factors that made snakes invincible were destroyed in an instant.

“This wouldn’t have been possible without you.”

An entity that could not be eradicated has become an entity that can be eradicated.

Although the two did not share any facts but only feelings, they did not feel any discomfort in the communication. It was like a lifelong companion.

As if a bridge had been built between Han Jae-joong and Jo Ayun’s hearts, they naturally knew each other’s intentions.

There is something that Yun Seol-hwa said in the past. Jo Ayun is becoming more like Han Jaejoong, and Han Jaejoong is becoming more like Jo Ayun.

The two were perfect strangers, creating perfect resonance.

“Ayun, your pain was not meaningless.”

Her hope was not pain.

The words Han Jaejoong said became her heart and made it beat.

My heart was beating loudly.

It wasn’t meaningless.

This struggle was not meaningless.

“ah….”

Jo Ayun let out a small sigh.

It was the smallest and most desperate joy in the world.

The dreams I had until now have disappeared.

All reality up until now is sublimated into a dream.

The dream has come true.

She wasn’t a failure.

In the end, I was able to become a hero.

Heroes are made through actions, not qualifications.

Even if you have no strength or power, you can become a hero.

Even if you can’t defeat the villain, you can remember the villain’s evil deeds and spread them around. If all that effort accumulates, one day, you may reach someone who can take him down.

The stirrings of injustice will one day make the entire earth tremble.

The ending of the return was not a happy ending.

It wasn’t even a dragon’s head to begin with. She was not meant to be a dragon.

It started out like an ugly snake’s head.

However, even though both the beginning and the ending were ugly, there was a sublimity to it.

That was the snake head’s own definition.

**

-Kaaa!!!

“…what.”

Amundsen frowned at the roar that came from the clear sky above the sea.

“What the fuck is this?”

The snake that couldn’t become a dragon wasn’t the only one.

The monster, still wandering around looking for the hero, looked at the snake.
