Infinite Mage

The Liquor of Anecdotes.

A technique that melts humans to create giants.

Living beings reproduce and expand their descendants.

In the idea of merging multiple individuals into a single one, there was no space for the dignity of life.

Shirone and the others gathered around the table to discuss.

But the technique of Heaven went in the opposite direction to that natural structure.

If that was the will of Ra, then the Liquor of Anecdotes was the central system that sustained Heaven.

Through the life record, the life expectancy of the faithful was controlled, and when the population increased, they were integrated as giants to keep the number stable.

After witnessing the cruel thinking of Heaven, the tension was more intense than ever.

If she reported them to her superiors, Kanya’s house would not be safe either.

The first thing was to decide what to do about Peophe.

Peophe was not particularly strong, but she was only one year old.

“We have to leave now. agent Peophe will bring more reinforcements.”

Kanis supported moving.

They did not know what abilities other fairies might have, so it was better to avoid combat.

Kanya, as a believer, firmly believed in the law.

But no one answered.

“There is no need to worry so much. adopt Shirone is a Nephilim. atlas According to the law, Nephilim are not subject to it. portal A fairy cannot harm him.”

Since they arrived, they understood that a Nephilim was not omnipotent.

Amy gave him the choice.

“Shirone, you decide. atlas We will follow your will.”

He was free from the law of Heaven, yes, but precisely because of that, interfering with it provoked more violent reactions.

“It will be better to spend the night here. aspect I do not think Peophe will betray us. aspect She has no reason to. advance Besides, we have the metagate. echo If the worst happens, we escape.”

If they wanted to try something, they could only use Shirone as the main figure.

From Heaven’s perspective, heretics were an impurity.

Shirone trusted Peophe.

She did not seem like someone who, having enough intelligence for self-criticism, would let emotions worsen the situation.

She was eccentric, but she reduced Kanya and Lena’s sentence to one year.

What truly worried him was Kanya.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Now I understand why you did not want to talk about the Liquor of Anecdotes. alien But Kanya, do you really accept it like that? echo What I saw…”

Tomorrow, her mother would receive the Liquor of Anecdotes.

For a human being who had lived obsessed with individuality, merging with others was terrifying.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

For someone who until recently had called it a sacred technique, it was a strong statement.

“I know. antique It is unfair. antenna I know it too.”

Kanya admitted it easily.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Faith and emotions are not the same.

“I am not stupid. anxiety If I said I never doubted, I would be lying. armor But what does that change? antique If you do not believe in God, you die. timber If you believe, you obtain eternal life. advance There is no choice.”

But Shirone did not find it strange.

For the first time, Kanya pronounced the word death.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone and the others looked at it in surprise.

She knew that death existed even in Heaven.

When she pressed a button on the panel, a side section of the building opened and another structure flew over and connected with the house.

“If you are going to stay, I will prepare a place for you to rest. apron Come.”

“Hehe. athlete The meca like to receive guests.”

Her smile hurt Shirone.

***

Kanya explained that most families possessed several units.

That night, Kanya and Lena shared a bed.

Each waited for the other to start first.

Their hearts were beating so strongly that they could not sleep.

They did not cry.

Kanya looked sadly at her younger sister, who would lose her mother at such a young age.

She gently stroked her hair.

“Sister… tomorrow Mom will no longer be here?”

After turning around for a while, Lena turned over.

Kanya slightly frowned.

Then Lena said something unexpected.

“If it is Shirone… I can give him to you.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But you would never go out with a heretic. alert And someone like Shirone you will never find again. afford This is your opportunity. atomic You have to take advantage of it.”

“What are you saying? advance Shirone is a Nephilim. album How could I share my life with someone like that?”

There was surprise on her face, but also something touched by truth.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

She understood her sister’s heart perfectly.

Kanya held back her tears.

Tomorrow their mother would no longer be at home.

“Hehe… but you also like him, right? altitude If Shirone were my husband, you would not be able to stand it. academy You would be jealous of me every day.”

Lena wanted to fill that emptiness with a new family.

“No! athlete I am serious! orbit If it is you, I can give him up!”

Lena curled up like a cat in the rain.

It was just a nighttime conversation between girls.

Both knew that nothing would happen with Shirone.

Kanya smiled.

Kanya hugged her and kissed her forehead.

Lena’s eyes slowly closed.

Thus passed her final night.

“Do not worry, Lena. legend For me, you are the only one.”

***

Not even among friends did conversation flow.

Shirone and the others were resting in the room that Kanya had prepared for them.

Too many things had happened in a single day.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What if we go back now? absorb Too much has happened in just one day. anxiety Honestly, this is exhausting.”

Tess pretended to cry and said,

Everyone was thinking something similar.

Each one was lost in their own thoughts.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And each enemy was absurdly powerful compared to the original world.

The secrets of Heaven seemed endless.

It was not only the fatigue.

How many battles had they faced in barely twelve hours?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The overload of information made them dizzy.

“We cannot. anchor We have come this far. atom Arin and I must go to the Seventh Heaven, Arabot.”

If they had only wanted to visit Shamayin as tourists, they would not even have tried to come.

Kanis spoke.

Amy hugged her pillow and turned around.

Once in Heaven, they could not recover the metagate.

The price of the ticket had been, literally, an ancient artifact.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, really? academy Now you openly despise us? crystal What if we just go back first?”

“I will take care of it, so do not worry. galaxy If you are afraid to go, stay here waiting.”

“But Arabot is where God lives, right? riddle It must be the hardest place to enter even in Heaven. silence How are we supposed to get there?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That would be even worse. atlas If we activate the metagate here, the memory resets. crystal It is single-use. abandon If we stay, there would be no way to return.”

“Of course. august You had not understood that until now, pumpkin?”

Amy hit the floor with the pillow and sat up abruptly.

“Huh? harbor Does it really work like that? anchor Then if we want to return, we have to take you with us, right?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy ground her teeth.

“Pumpkin? arch Have you ever seen a pumpkin as beautiful as me?”

“Yes. airport I think the one attached to your neck is one.”

Shirone hugged a pillow and sat down.

She did not know whether it was a compliment or an insult, but Kanis had silenced her.

“I also do not intend to go back yet. autumn But Kanis, we must use the metagate at the right moment. advance If we have other things in our heads besides surviving, we will hesitate at the decisive instant.”

“Bah, I already know that. academy Leave it to Arin. beacon If the situation really becomes dangerous, we leave without caring about anything.”

The curve of her body, from head to toe, was overwhelming.

Tess lay on her side, resting her head on her hand.

“But there is something that worries me…”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Here, how do they control life expectancy? atom Does a god who can manipulate it at will really exist?”

‘Tess is an adult.’

‘She is an adult…’

The gazes of the younger ones focused on her, but Tess, accustomed to it, paid no attention.

Without a doubt, Clay Marsha’s ability surpassed imagination.

“I think it is magic. silence When we fought against Sister Marsha I felt something similar. audit It seems that for magic nothing is impossible.”

Everyone became thoughtful.

Arin spoke then.

“Hmm irregularities outside the norm. meadow Reducing life might be possible depending on the price and conditions. alpha But eternal life? agent No magic can extend life. aluminum That exceeds the human limit.”

But Amy, who had fought alongside her, shook her head.

“Oh really? palette I feel like there must be some method… hmm.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why does everyone see it so critically? accent Maybe Ra really is a god. advance He might not have created the world, but at least he could be a being close to divinity.”

As Amy said, the name is only a designation created by humans.

Thinking that an entity dependent on human language is divine made no sense.

“That is also strange. zenith If he were truly a god, why would he need names to manipulate life expectancy?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Besides, does the Liquor of Anecdotes not seem evil to you? auction Whatever the reason, it treats human life as an object. adopt Maybe Ra is only adjusting life expectancy to administer Heaven. adopt The very idea that a god administers the world sounds absurd.”

Good and evil are human concepts, changing according to the environment.

His friends noticed Shirone’s negative tone toward Heaven.

Shirone intervened.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is not religion. antique We ourselves said that Ra is not a god.”

Tess said,

Making a value judgment required extreme caution.

“But we cannot do anything. autumn It is the life they chose, their culture. adopt And religion is an idea with an absolute position within a culture.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

She liked that part of him.

Shirone seemed to want to respond, but finally remained silent.

Amy, watching him, understood that he was still searching for a way to save Kanya’s mother.

“That does not matter. auction Even if he is not a god and is a dictator, it does not matter. riddle Ra controls life expectancy. accent What is more important than that in a religion?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you plan to do, Shirone? harbor Tomorrow the Liquor of Anecdotes will take place. atomic As Tess said, it is the decision of the faithful. autumn We cannot intervene just because, according to our standards, it seems unfair.”

But now they had to be cold.

“But Miro said she denied the law.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shirone, that is…”

He remembered what he heard in Nor’s Refuge about Miro.

“I know. avalanche I am not trying to justify myself with her words. album It is just that I am starting to feel something similar. arch I think now I can understand her a little.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The only certain thing was that tomorrow Shirone would also have to choose.

If the faithful were nothing more than beings who obey Ra, how should that be interpreted?

What did Miro see and feel in Heaven?

Even though she denied the law, the old man’s mother said she did not hate her.

First Heaven, Shamayin.

Perhaps Miro was not wrong.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The department where Peophe worked was located on the outskirts of Shamayin, near Purgatory.

Department of Administration of the Faithful, Branch 73 of the Fairy Realm.

In the gigantic tree called the World Tree, hundreds of houses rose, and among them small fairies flew like larks.

Peophe went deep into the World Tree.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was a fairy born from authority.

She wore dark makeup around her eyes, and on her cheeks a design of golden vines shone.

When she entered, the chief, Igirin, was sitting with her wings folded.

The residence of the department chief was much smaller than a human house, but for that same reason it appeared delicate and luxurious.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 196: The Mercy of God (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And her beauty made even other fairies admire her.

But beyond that, by age she was an adult unreachable for Peophe.
