Chapter 138: A Tragedy That Repeats Infinitely

The whole point of Frederick Melvin is for this "Justus exist" nightmare.

Seen from nightmares.

From the very beginning, the student that Professor Gray was looking for was Justus... not Frederick, who had reached the silver rank at a young age.

Because from that time, Professor Gray already knew about it.

—Frederick Melvin will eventually be killed by himself.

So teaching him is pointless.

Murder Ingrid in front of Justus.

and the later murder of Frederick.

Everything is to create a nightmare that is very real and can be faked... And this is to make Justus lose himself in the nightmare and confuse the dream and reality.

"Justus confuses reality with dreams, and sees another possibility for 'Frederick' in nightmares. As the story progresses, with the butterfly effect of Ingrid being rescued, 'Frey Derek's fate still came to an end... and Justus, in a rage, turned to his trusted teacher, 'Professor Grey' Seti.

"He was 'sent to the past' by Seti. Or, he thought he had come to the past. But it was still just the 'plot' of Frederick's nightmare... Justus entered the dream.

"He killed Ingrid. Putting history back in its 'right' place, and still being the shield that never fell, came to the Cinder Barrens with the living Frederick on a mission - that's what It's the unfolding he expected."

From the very beginning, what Justus expected... was that when he came to the Cinder Barrens, he didn't come to collect the bodies of his friends.

It is this kind of "unwillingness to admit" that allows Professor Gray to confuse his reality with his dream.

But the longer he stayed in the Cinder Barrens.

The unease lurking in Justus' subconscious became more apparent.

He gradually realized that he seemed to be dreaming. So the town suddenly becomes empty.

But it is not him who is awakened.

But the "betrayer".

— While they were walking down the street, Frederick was suddenly killed.

Justus, of course, was furious.

He will do whatever it takes to rush over and kill the attacker - even if that person is another self.

"That's because Justus subconsciously realized that... maybe it was him who killed Frederick."

And he has to fight with the "other self".

No matter what the outcome is, there will only be one person left in this unmanned world.

That's "Justus".

People who die in a dream will of course be resurrected on the surface.

He exists in the dream of Frederick's nightmare, and can only wake up from the upper floor--

And the characteristic of this nightmare is "repeat".

Once he dies, he will lose his memory [replay].

—that is, a tragedy that repeats infinitely.

"Do you remember," Annan said to Delicious Wind Goose, "Nefertari said. In her nightmare, 'Frederick' died three times.

"The first time was being crushed by a building while rescuing Ingrid; the second time was being killed by another Justus in the street. What about the third time?"

Annan stared at the void in front of him and said slowly: "The third time, just after waking up from a dream.

"That's when Justus woke up again from the dream 'Dream Eater' Trissino Seti. That's when Ingrid didn't die and Frederick was just killed. Wire.

"How would Justus, who lost his memory at that time and returned to the beginning, decide?"

"...He will know nothing and go to the past again."

The voice of the delicious wind goose trembled a little.

Go through the exact same cycle again as before.

Back in the Cinder Barrens again...

Just like the motto left by Justus.

[A brief moment of anger. Never-ending remorse.

】

I'm afraid that Justus who "betrayed" Frederick was the Justus who truly realized everything from countless cycles.

That is, "Awakened" Justus.

Realizing that it was just a nightmare, Justus recalled the motto Frederick left in the beginning—

[Life is the cage of death... Death is the ode to life. 】

This is the motto Frederick left to the Purifiers at the beginning of the nightmare.

To understand it literally means that... when "life" comes to an end, "death" will break free from its cage. Its existence is to praise the "life" that imprisoned itself.

So who are the living?

justus.

Who are the dead?

Frederick.

His meaning is simple - as long as Justus dies, "Frederick" will be reborn.

But Frederick's soul has been completely used to construct nightmares.

He cannot be resurrected.

Only the name "Frederick" was resurrected.

But unfortunately, Justus, who was confused between reality and dream, did not hear this prompt.

In other words, he didn't care when he heard it.

The moment when Justus saw Frederick's death in a nightmare and was furious, seeking strength to try to kill Ingrid and save Frederick... It has already led to a deeper tragedy for Frederick.

And the only "Awakened" Justus hid his memory recovery. Ask Trissino to "go back in time".

He was going to kill Frederick in his dreams.

Let Frederick be on the side of [Death].

Then the imprisoned self will be freed and reborn——

This is also the [exit] of the nightmare after Frederick's death.

That is, [Kill Frederick].

But the exit was blocked.

by himself.

This "Awakened" Justus lost the most important piece of memory because of the nightmare characteristic of "reenactment".

...that is, he was killed by another "Justus" countless times.

Why did Justus and Frederick suddenly enter the "no-man's alley"?

Because "Awakened" Justus came to Cinder Barrens.

He is also Justus.

And he has long known that this is a dream.

So he's going to kill the fake Frederick and free himself.

His own waking consciousness turned into the final piece of the puzzle in the infinite loop paradox.

"...It's like 'Terror Cruise'."

The delicious wind goose finally understood everything.

Feeling chills down my spine.

This is a scene... an incomparably grand, infinitely repeating tragedy.

Frederick and Ingrid are just props on the field.

This is a [one-man show].

Heroes and Demon Kings are basically the same person.

Annan said slowly: "Do you remember?

"I told you before that the power of the idol wizard will follow the title. At that time, we thought... 'Professor Wolf' Frederick would call himself so to steal the power of 'Professor Gray'. And we We have already learned that Professor Wolf is Professor Gray."

Why, when Annan asked Benjamin, "Is Professor Wolf stealing the power of the man in the mirror?"

In fact, all the truth has been hidden in that sentence-

It was Professor Gray who stole the power of the person in the mirror. But after Professor Gray stole the power of "Mirror"...

His "part of it" - the part that was "Professor Grey", woke up with Frederick's body and became Professor Wolf "Frederick"!

Why did Professor Grey suddenly lose the power of the element?

Because the power of the elements was transferred to "Professor Wolf"!

Why did Professor Grey change his name to "The Bone Healer" and Professor Wolf became a believer in the tragedy writer?

Because Trisino Seti's original purpose was to use the nightmare of the [Mirror] attribute to separate the "Bone Healer" as a wizard from the "Professor Wolf" as a pope!

The reason why Professor Wolf became the mentor of the werewolves.

Not for revenge.

But in order to effectively improve the status of the werewolf.

Because the tragic writer himself is the god of werewolves—he is the tragic writer's pope, which is due.

"And this scene [The Tragedy of Infinite Reincarnation] is a tragedy directed and acted by Trisino Seti to the tragic writer in order to enable the tragic writer to help himself and plunder power from the gods in the future. "
