I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 130
Chapter 130
“Me? Then… did I die in my original world?”
He gazed at me with sorrowful, translucent eyes. It was a silent affirmation. I recalled the final moments from my hazy memories of my past life. A truck speeding towards me. Unable to avoid it, I lost consciousness. Logically, the chances of survival were incredibly low.
‘And I’ve already become Rosette.’
Even if my original body were alive, I couldn’t go back, could I? I was merely curious.
“Then, I’ll ask again. Is there no possibility of me returning to my original world?”
“[Impossible, child. Everything was due to the Great Demon Araberus’s power.]”
“Araberus?”
“[Yes. A wicked human used forbidden magic to summon Araberus. In the previous world, no one could stop his resurrection.]”
“Then, did the world shatter because no one could stop the Great Demon’s resurrection?”
He stroked my trembling cheek and offered a benevolent smile, as if to say everything would be alright. My anxious heart felt much calmer.
“[That is so. But through someone’s sacrifice, the Great Demon was destroyed, and in his final moments, he poured all his power into using his ability.]”
A beautiful light, incomparable to that of Pope Noctis, emanated from Moreus’s hand. The light took shape, transforming into a book. The title immediately caught my eye: .
“[This book looks identical to the sacred relic, but it is, in fact, different. In the world you came from, this book was a record of the soul of the Great Demon Araberus of the failed world, and this one appeared as a sacred relic to oppose evil.]”
“What?”
The novel I read was actually a record of the Great Demon’s soul. The added explanation detailed the Great Demon’s power.
“[There is a price to pay for reversing time, for defying fate.]”
It is said that even a god cannot overturn the natural order of the world. However, the Great Demon Araberus, who once ruled an era, possessed the unique power to reverse time.
“[The Great Demon fragmented his soul to draw in a sacred soul from another dimension. That was the only way he could manifest his power.]”
So, having read the soul record, I became the Great Demon’s target, and he tried to take my soul.
“[But his success was unstable. Time was reversed, but he failed to completely sacrifice the soul, and I succeeded in finding the vanished soul.]”
“That’s… Rosette Cernia. You mean me…”
The god Moreus nodded, gently grasping the hem of her dress. “[Child. You possess the only soul capable of stopping the Great Demon.]”
“Are you saying I’m the only savior who can save the world?”
“[Yes. Because you are my child. And… the Great Demon’s power has a fatal flaw.]” The god Moreus held my hand warmly, as if to reassure me. “[If he cannot sacrifice the soul he brought from another dimension, his power weakens and becomes unstable.]”
“Kiris… his memory loss at the beginning was related to the Great Demon.”
“[Indeed. It would have worked in the original world, but now, his power is weakened, and he failed. Child, you are hope.]”
Ah, now I understood everything. Why I was transmigrated into the novel, why the forces of evil were attacking me…
‘Kiris wasn’t the villain.’
The novel contained the Great Demon’s soul record. That’s why, in that world, Kiris, unable to stop the Great Demon, tried to destroy the world. This time, I inadvertently intervened, saving Kiris, and many things became twisted, diverging from the story I knew.
“[I am sorry to burden you with so much.]”
“No. It is a burden to bear such a heavy responsibility, but…” I thought of the people who helped me adapt to this world, the people who loved me. Aunt Celia, who enabled me to work, Kiris, whose love I confirmed, Louis, Helena, the mages of the magic tower who welcomed me with pure hearts.
“I will protect it.”
I clenched my fists. I just had to prevent this world’s destruction. The process would be difficult and arduous, but to protect the people I loved, this sacrifice was worth it.
“[That is why you possess the most sacred soul.]”
“Thank you. I couldn’t bear to watch the world of my loved ones be destroyed.”
The god Moreus gently kissed my forehead. “[May fortune be with you.]” At the same time, the world brightened blindingly.
Swoosh-
“[Child. Your path ahead will be bright. Do not worry.]” The message resonated, and I lost consciousness once more.
