「No, he wouldn’t be. Even though he prepared for the descendants, absorbing the knowledge of the gods through the bloodline of Warei, which is like poison, wouldn’t he be alive because he didn’t die normally?」
“Then, did he kill all the people of his own family in Linstead…? Is it in the same context?”
「It might be. They seemed to have been offered as a price for alchemy.」
Tirium interjected at an appropriate timing.
“If the lives sacrificed for alchemy are precious to the spellcaster, the closer they are, the more effective the spell becomes, depending on how precious they are. That’s alchemy.”
Friends, children, parents, relatives, and so on…
“If they are connected by the same bloodline or have spent a long time together, the effect becomes stronger. That’s alchemy.”
“…”
If what Tirium said was true, the villain Kirie, who had lost his family in the ‘previous,’ might have used the knowledge of the gods to turn back time. However, it was impossible for a human body to contain such vast knowledge without any mental defects…
With the goal of destroying the world burning in his heart, he completed the spell that turns a person with such intentions into a zombie, and for that, he killed even the precious people of his family.
“Kirie can never be saved.”
“Is it impossible, like Siena?”
“Of course. From the divine perspective, Siena is akin to a martyr, and… Kirie Warei is merely a colossal evil that needs to be eradicated.”
Upon hearing this, the audience fell silent.
Both the divine Ardel and Kirie Warei probably had simple beginnings.
‘The desire to do anything for the one you love must have been the starting point for everything.’
However, love does not always bring about beautiful endings. If good intentions always resulted in happy endings for all actions, there would be no tragedies in this world.
‘Kirie was just one of the many unlucky people. It was just that his wrong choices exacerbated his misfortune.’
The sin of taking away the lives of numerous people plunged Kirie even deeper into hell.
Zero was speaking.
“We must stop him.”
Tirium looked at me with an unusually solemn and resolute gaze, saying, “You are our hope, Elizabeth Kitten.” Others expressed the same sentiment.
“Connect with the lords of other regions.”
Jacqueline urgently whispered, holding my hand.
“I know.”
I had no intention of retreating at this point.
To defeat Kirie Warei and put to rest the pitiful zombies, help from the living humans in this world was absolutely essential. Divine assistance alone was not enough.
“Connect with the lords of other regions.”
The plan to destroy the capital Agata that had been left open as a possibility.
It was time to put it into action.
“Gather all the explosives and magical bombs stored in each region.”
Before the zombies of the capital could invade the human lands by crawling over the walls.
Everything had to end within it.
Kirie Warei sometimes suffered from severe headaches and dizziness, preventing him from sleeping.
“Ugh…”
Holding his head, writhing in pain on the bed, he absentmindedly called for the family’s head.
“Mel? I’m in so much pain. Go get me some painkillers. It feels like my head is about to explode.”
“…”
However, when there was no response or any sign of recognition, he realized with a keen sense that he was now the only one left alive in Linstead’s hiding place.
“Ah… that’s right. Everyone in the family is dead.”
This time, it seemed like I, with my own hands…
Kirie seemed even more insane. It felt like fresh blood was still staining his clean hands, and the delusions of family members begging for mercy echoed in his mind.
Kirian, Kirie’s elder brother and the successor of the family, calmly accepted his death… However, some tried to kill Kirie, cursing him as insane.
As a human with a life attached, there was an attitude that should be taken. Who would want to die? How many humans would willingly sacrifice their lives at the words urging them to cooperate willingly, as it would bring about the destruction of the world?
“I killed them all…”
Suppressing the resistant minority and paying the highest price, Kirie Warei successfully created zombies. Using the divine knowledge found “before,” this time, he executed the plan more perfectly and rapidly.
The empire collapsed as desired, and countless people died, turning into puppet-like marionettes. Kirie was delighted. At the same time, he was miserable.
Even though things were seemingly progressing more smoothly, the progress was not going well.
The world did not collapse more quickly. A new “protagonist” emerged, rallying survivors to oppose him. Now, they were struggling not only to thwart him but also to completely blow away the zombies he had poured out.
“What makes you different…”
From me, who did not become miserable and could continue walking forward.
Kirie was genuinely curious and envious of that.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
