At that moment, what filled Lyan’s vision was a distorted rift.
The rift that had torn through the straight space undulated threateningly, as if it would devour the surroundings.
The darkness of the pure rift was intensely black, as if it had gathered all the darkness in the world. Like an abyss.
Lyan recognized the owner of the voice that emanated from the rift.
“Irkalla.”
The ruler of specters who govern punishment and death, the underground goddess, the mistress of the seven deadly sins.
[Insolent. Uttering the name of a god in the mouth of a mere human subject.]“…….”
[Irstaar’s second child. I never thought I’d see you again.]Just as Lyan recognized Irkalla, Irkalla also knew of Lyan’s presence.
Even with a god before him, Lyan did not worship or fear.
The rift in front of him was not a god. Strictly speaking, it was nothing more than a fragment belonging to Irkalla, a part and residue.
Due to the pact and restraint between the two sister gods, Irkalla could not leave the underground.
However, Irkalla, who coveted the human world, would occasionally exercise her power through the torn rift.
Therefore, the divine power Irkalla could wield in front of him was not strong.
Even though it was a fragment, a god was a god, and the undulating rift was merciless enough to almost swallow the surroundings.
[Hmm, strange. It’s odd that my stolen power isn’t felt from you…….]Whether Lyan answered or not, Irkalla murmured to herself continuously.
[Even if I tear apart the thieving cat who stole my power, well, I haven’t prepared yet.]“…….”
[Anyway, I don’t like what Ishtar created. Unlike my lovely children, they are too different.]“…….”
[What are you staring at so blankly? Hurry up and kneel, Ishtar’s second child.]Despite the god’s command to kneel, Lyan did not bat an eye. He, who had been silently staring at the rift, finally spoke.
“Irkalla, return to your throne.”
[Shut up.]With a chilling voice, Irkalla scolded.
Once again, Lyan ignored Irkalla’s command.
“Awake from your dream. The day your wish comes true won’t come, even after an eternity.”
Then……..
Hehehe!
A sharp laughter that seemed to tear the ears apart filled the entire underground cellar.
Hehehehe! Hehehe! Hehehehe!
Since the underground cellar was empty, Irkalla’s laughter echoed back incessantly, striking the ears without respite.
As if thousands of Irkallas were laughing from all directions.
When the laughter suddenly stopped, Irkalla spoke solemnly.
[Really foolish, naive, and fearsome. Prophecy is my job as a god, not yours as a mere human. Well, shall I show you your future?]Before she finished speaking, the landscape in front of Lyan, who was in the empty cellar, changed in an instant.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, what Lyan saw was a fierce blaze erupting from all directions.
The world was engulfed in the ruins rooted in sin, facing destruction. The land dried up, flora withered and died, and starving humans stabbed each other to death. Various monsters boiled, tearing apart the corpses of humans and animals.
War raged across the continent. A civilization that had achieved dazzling progress was now in decline.
In the midst of burning dry grass, he was there.
Lyan himself, whose breath faded away in a pool of blood.
Lyan, now a battered figure, just stared at his own state.
Into his ears, Irkalla spoke cruelly.
[This is your future, Ishtar’s second child.]“…….”
[You’re dying so miserably. Pitifully.]“…….”
[Ishtar won’t save humans. Don’t you still understand?]Lyan knew that Irkalla was intentionally trying to shake and collapse him.
Irkalla always wanted to take everything from her younger sister Ishtar, so there must be some purpose this time too.
Whether Irkalla had exhausted her power to reach the human realm or not, the illusion in front of him gradually disappeared. The burning battlefield vanished, revealing a completely empty underground cellar.
Irkalla asked, [What are your impressions of seeing your future?]
“……I don’t think much about it.”
[Hmm. Is that so.]Lyan gazed at the rift with an expressionless face. He truly had no particular excitement about the future that Irkalla showed him.
After all, it was just an illusion meant to deceive.
Even if the illusion he had just seen turned out to be his real future, it didn’t matter. Everything could burn, crumble, and be destroyed.
“Come back to the starting point and start all over again. If not, then until it works.”
As Elodi said, you can go back and start over.
Since he had already tried, doing it again wouldn’t be difficult.
When Lyan remained silent in response to my provocation, Irkalla lost interest in an instant.
[Lately, the surface has been too noisy, so I couldn’t stay still. Ishtar’s second child, what on earth are you plotting?]“Do I have to tell you that?”
[I didn’t expect it. Anyway, it seems you’ve been interfering with my affairs. Hmm…….]With a peculiar sigh, Irkalla fell silent for a moment. Amidst the undulating rift, Irkalla asked, [You’re not acting alone, are you?]
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
