As I suspected, I iht be impossible for me to ever understand this idiot

I can’t co to destroy the world just because of themisfortunes and accidents, that isn’t exclusively just Yuuki’s story alone

Not everyone lived happily; so their uess my life was a happy one, so if I was asked, I doubt that I can really understand the feelings of those with unhappy lives

However, I can affir other people because of his own unhappiness is clearly wrong

People are not created equal

People ht be able to treat each other as equal as much as they can within this world’s system, but it can’t be denied that there’s a difference in innate abilities

If you think in that sense, a world where everyone in this world can equally enjoy peace and happiness, so like that can only exists in fantasy

That’s why you wouldn’t be wrong if you called this world incomplete

Even Velda, who tried to create a world cos, could only be called a fool who can’t understand Veldanava’s ideals

However, even beyond him, Yuuki, who thinks that it’s better to end and destroy everything, has a way of thinking that is too childish and immature

He is a rash person and only supports his own ideas without taking any kind of responsibilities

As I expected, Yuuki is a fool that I’ranted you everything

That was the world that Veldanava had created

He, as alone in the empty space, couldn’t bear the solitude

That was the reason why he created the world: in order to distract himself from the boredom[1]

Then, just as Veldanava wished for, life was born in this world, and beings began to act freely and asserted their Wills

Finally, after a long time, humankind was born as a vessel for the soul with free will and high intellect

Veldanava was thrilled

For Veldanava, who had been bored with the world of e the activities of life was fun, but the activities of the creatures called hu for him

However, there was also a problem

Humans who acquired intellect stimulated each other and took unpredictable actions

If he left theainst each other and would walk on the path of self-destruction

Several other worlds were born, but he could see that all of them had similar tendencies

E that had been given to theive people the stirown unchecked tended to reject the opinions of others

Different Ideas gave rise to various forms of justices, Veldanava pondered

He decided to accept such phenomena were soround for the soul

If humans were to be controlled completely, conflicts would disappear

However, they would lose the stimulus from emotions and the world would end up as a Dystopia, where people were all equal but without free will

Such a world was not what Veldanava desired

After that, he experimented many times and tried to develop humans into the direction that he hoped for

The conditions in many of the Parallel Worlds minutely deviated from one another, which led them to achieve different evolutions

Meanwhile, he carefully chose huels and Deer of the souls without a lifespan

He constructed a system so that the souls circulated to all diers so they wouldn’t cause excessive interference and appointed the role of the Observer[2] so that the foundation of the world wouldn’t be destroyed

Those he appointed to be Observers were Guy, Ra spiritual because the little aic essence in ht have an Observer, too

Oh well, not like that thing h

Anyway, the construction of the systeation of the Giants and the likes that appeared irregularly was finished and the world had stabilized

When all things began working s Lucia, Veldanava learned what love was

Then, they proved their love, and Lucia ended up pregnant with Milim

At that time, Veldanava lost all of his powers, but I could deduce that was probably due to the co force of the world

The reaction called Enforceability―― the constructed system had declared Lucia’s existence as harmful

From the system’s standpoint, God’s love must be poured out to everyone equally

However, Veldanava’s action of loving a specific individual seemed to have caused errors in the system

As a result, the price paid in order to repair the systeht to condemn the system that even destroyed its creator wasn’t irrational, at least from an emotional standpoint However, what Velda wanted to do was soainst Veldanava’s intention

After all, Veldanava loved this world and he wished for Milihter, to survive

The proof of that desire was the fact he had sacrificed himself to the system

――Even if it was said that he had lost all of his abilities, a story of hiod to be killed by humans would be a tall tale

It was impossible for Velda to understand that

So he cooperated with Yuuki and tried to destroy the world, I guess…… what a truly foolish story

◇◇◇

I opened un my final battle with Yuuki, and yet――

《You finally woke up?》

Oh! Ciel-san said so to me

Where are we?

Also what happened to Veldora-san?

《This is the End of the World It could also be referred to as the “End of Tiinary Space』and completely protected, so please rest assured》

I see Veldora-san is alright

Thank goodness… Eh? This needlessly large and empty world is the “End of Time and Space”, she said?

Certainly, time doesn’t flow and is in a stopped state I can’t sense the spread of space either…

《Yes In this world, the flow of time has stopped The spread of space had ceased as well, and in accordance with the Law of Entropy[3], this world has arrived at nothingness》

Has arrived? You are talking as if you have watched it?

《That’s right We were hurled to beyond space and time due to Yuuki’s attack The lifespan of the planet has already ended a long tio, but the collapse of the world hasn’t yet been reached From that I deduced, Yuuki probably couldn’t destroy the world itself yet When he was at the phase where he destroyed the celestial bodies as well as the space-time continuum, I presume that Yuuki’s lifespan had coe whether his as fulfilled or not After that, andered around as we drifted in the space and I witnessed the end of this universe》

――I can’t understand what Ciel-san is saying at all……

“I witnessed the end of the universe?” What is she talking about…?

Rather, there’s no e can be alive in a situation like that

If you want to lie, coht, but I remembered Ciel-san never lies[4]

She deceives me sometimes, but she didn’t lie as I simply misunderstood――Or rather, she made me do so――That’s all of it

That ht Then, I’ll get straight to the point, illtime has passed,『Turn Null』has accuh Veldanava is said to have lost『Turn Null』by creating the world, there’s no probleinary Space』has an infinite capacity, it can’t be filled up However, it has already been filled with enough energy that even recreating the world tens of thousands of times is possible Additionally, it’s possible to reproduce the memories of those connected to Rimuru-sama and intentionally create a world that’s nearly identical from before What will you do?[5]》

Huh……?

Ciel asked me as such, which made me speechless

Yes, if this place was the “End of Time and Space”, that meant Benimaru, Shuna, my friends in Tempest, Diablo and the other Demons, Guy, Ramiris, Milim and the other Demon Lords, all the people that I loved, all of them didn’t exist anywhere in this world I finally understood that

In other words, I lost to Yuuki

「Bullshit!! Damn it!!! Doesn’t this mean I completely lost to Yuuki!!」

《No, that’s incorrect Yuuki couldn’t even destroy Rimuru-sama》

But, I couldn’t protect those I loved

Therefore, it’sif I’m the only who survived

Even if I can recreate nearly the same memories and even if their DNA is exactly the same, can I really say that they are “them”?

Can I interact with them in the same way as always before if I created thes like that would just be fakes! No matter what the excuses are, I have lost to Yuuki……」

Rationally, Ciel seemed to think that I should create a neorld without a heretic like Yuuki in it

That certainly would be a good choice

It could be said that there were no problems with that

However, that wouldn’t satisfymy dead friends as fakes just to heal my loneliness, she said!? I’d rather die than stoop so low as to do so like that

I’m aware that I’m selfish

However, that’s the reason why I couldn’t approve of creating a convenient world just for myself

In a world like that, my whole existence itself will rot away and die

I would rather proudly choose to bear the loneliness than cling to the past just to comfort myself

《I knew it I had expected that Rier, but on the contrary, Ciel replied happily

Then she continued her words

《Besides, you have not lost to Yuuki yet You just have to go and defeat him now》

Ciel-san casually said those words

I just have to go and defeat hione past?

Can so like that be done……?

Chloe seemed to be able to read the memories of the future with Time Leap[6], but that was just an ability to return to your past self

Besides, it couldn’t be activated while time was stopped

Yuuki would carefully plan to block a way out like that by stopping time

《No, there’s no probleinally just a mere prototype of a different ability The ability is not『The ability to move to a place you’ve visited』, but『The ability to transcend time and space to reach the location you desire』 For Rioing across time is simple》[7]

I was speechless

So that was her reason, no wonder Ciel-san was cal, she probably had anticipated everything that I desired
