Chapter 328: At the Eleventh Hour (1/2)
The Emperor of Blood and Iron deployed his ‘Joker’ card, which led to both his and Rinder Chul-In could not comprehend how the Eel, because the emperor’s old memory was truncated after his final speech
However, he could see one thing
“For… the future”
It was the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s final state of mind
To protect this world, no, for the reconstruction of this world, he sacrificed himself without hesitation when he could have instead been reborn as an Earthling and live a normal life without a care about this world
The Ereat cause!
“Hoas it?”
Kang Chul-In heard the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s voice
“… E Chul-In stared at the Emperor, who stood just in front of him “Where is this?”
“Here”
The Emperor of Blood and Iron tapped his own head
“Whose?”
“Yours, of course Who else? I’m already dead”
“True”
“To be honest”
“?”
“I did have sohts?”
“For exa Chul-In”
“!”
“Ah, of course”
The Emperor of Blood and Iron added
“Those who share the same soul can’t take over each other’s body… but there’s still a way”
“A way…?”
“I can erase your memories”
“!”
“And inject hastly statement
“If I really wanted to steal your body, then it’s more efficient to erase theChul-In and replace them with my memories It’s less risky too”
“Risk?”
“The one who got his body stolen would constantly fight back to reclaim it”
“Ah…!”
“But what can he do when all of his memories are erased? His ‘existence’ itself would be deleted”
“A pathetic thought indeed Really nasty”
Kang Chul-In was seeave him the chills The deletion of all of his memories… that could be the definition of a true ‘extinction’
“H Chul-In spoke “Why didn’t you?”
“What?”
“As you said, why didn’t you erase my memories and put in yours? Isn’t that a ht” The Emperor of Blood and Iron replied “Actually, that was Eestion”
“She trusted me but not my reincarnation”
“Ah?”
“Of course she didn’t nobody could predict my reincarnation’s personality, capability and attitude towards our great cause From her perspective, it would be a hundred times better to entrust ht To protect this world frouage, of the Agnagas, a motivated and capable individual was needed In other words, the Emperor of Blood and Iron was clearly the better candidate over Kang Chul-In
“Therefore… Emilia hoped that I would reincarnate coed rippa the Archwitch didn’t have the power to foresee 1000 years into the future, I ht have erased your memories and reincarnated completely… no, I definitely would have”
“Why didn’t you?” Kang Chul-In had to ask the same question to the Emperor of Blood and Iron “Why didn’t you reincarnate perfectly? That would have been better for you”
“”
“It shouldn’t have been easy to suppress your temptation, either”
Yes, temptation If the Emperor had achieved a ‘complete reincarnation,’ he could have reunited with his beloved Arshelly
“You’re right” He agreed “Even as we converse now, I still wonder how things would have been if I had reincarnated fully However”
“?”
“I was the one who erased the memories of 20 million people Even worse, I erased the hter, Arshelly Do I deserve to reincarnate completely? As Arshelly’s father and the leader of the hunoble existence I wanted to be an honorable and proudChul-In was shocked to his core
This guy… he is a realChul-In admired the Emperor of Blood and Iron inwardly At this point, he had to acknowledge the truth The Ey intentions He was the real Messiah of this world
“Also” The Erippa’s prophecy, I saw potential in this or, perseverance, patience to endure through any rigor, a reasonable ae to explore new options, an a it to fruition Furtherood brain and cruelty to kill the enemy without hesitation The only downside is your shi+tty temper”
“Ahem…!”
“You have the potential to save this world Hence, I decided to entrust this task to you, instead of reincarnating coreatestthis just because we share the same soul”
That was a compliment, from the Emperor of Blood and Iron himself
“Who are you to assessChul-In replied in his typical, rude manner
“What a temper” The Emperor of Blood and Iron shook his head, as if he were too tired to respond “Somehow, you seem to have an even shi+ttier te the pot black”
“”
“Ah, do you know?”
Kang Chul-In began his counterattack
“Knohat?”
“What’s my hobby?”
“How the hell would I know?”
“Sometiaea Your name appears every now and then, so I tend to pay extra attention when reading the archaic texts”
“!”
“Now, guess How do you think you are described in these texts?”
“T-That…!”
