Tiendavis - For Perfect Salvation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 250

“The reason the world must end is because you tried to become a difficult person.”

As Sere spoke those words, the sand in the hourglass had already split evenly, gathering in equal volume above and below.

And Ivy could only stare blankly at Sere, unable to grasp what those words even meant.

“It doesn’t mean you’re bad. Quite the opposite—you did well. It’s only natural for a living being to bear its own life. You understood early on how humans live, did your best to become a difficult person, and in the end turned others into beings less valuable and easier than yourself—but that isn’t wrong or evil.”

Ivy couldn’t tell whether this was praise or reproach.

All she felt was something creeping slowly up her back—the exact same sensation she’d had when captured by Miel and forced once again to choose destruction.

“It’s not you who’s bad, but the world that crushes easy humans. That’s what’s wrong—the world that demands you become difficult, and the world where becoming difficult means you must make someone else easy. The world bound by chains you spoke of is surely one of them.”

At those words, Ivy’s heart sank again.

This was what she’d said to Yuvia just before waking up earlier. How did Sere know? Could she have heard everything?

The moment doubt entered her mind, Ivy suddenly realized she’d never once escaped Rohika’s grasp.

“But Ivy, sadly, this world cannot continue without chains. Because every human desires to become difficult. And becoming difficult—whether by good or evil means—means creating someone easier than yourself to dominate.”

Through Sere’s kindness, Ivy gradually understood what she was saying. But that understanding only weighed heavier upon Ivy’s tongue, sealing it shut.

“Did you love this world so fiercely it dazzled you? Congratulations. But that was only possible because you’re special—someone who can break any chain. If you weren’t the Saintess blessed by Mananya, could you have freed Sion’s chains?”

“No… I couldn’t have.”

“Sion is the same. If he weren’t the Earl bearing the Dragon’s Fragment, could he have fought the dragon for you and defied providence on his own whim?”
