At the time of 2112, the destruction that had been talked about for a hundred years had finally arrived... It's not an asteroid from outer space, it's not a global volcanic eruption. For human civilization, which has flourished unprecedentedly in science and technology and military, disasters of this magnitude alone cannot stop their progress.

Can't stop the pace of continuing to destroy the earth, and even the universe!

…

But no one expected that on that winter morning, the huge gate of heaven that almost tore through the entire sky suddenly appeared in the world realm of human beings.

Aircraft flying at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters will be directly crushed, and no amount of firepower or weapons, including nuclear and laser weapons, can destroy the terrible door, in contrast, the environment known to mankind has begun a crazy metamorphosis... Viruses, walking corpses, beasts.

Everything that had been trampled under the feet of humans launched a fierce counterattack against human beings, and finally, after only half a year, the population of the World Realm, which was almost about to exceed 10 billion, fell back to just 20 million.

On the eve of destruction, a man climbed the highest mountain after the Great Change, he roared to the heavens, and made a secret agreement with the gods who only existed in legends, and the next morning, when the trembling people looked up at the sky again, the sun that had been silent for half a year shone on the earth again, and the terrible gate of heaven had long disappeared without a trace...

————————————————————————————————————

It's like having a long dream.

I slept for too long, so when I woke up, I didn't even seem to feel my hands and feet, but I vaguely knew that I was bound by something, imprisoned in some hot and dark place.

But where is this?

The memory was a mess, and when he began to think about it, the intense pain suddenly invaded the master of ceremonies' mind, and the torture of being pierced directly into the cerebral cortex by broken glass made him scream.

"Ah!!h

He struggled to open his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was a cold chart... The bright red background and translucent form are suspended in front of him, and the master of ceremonies himself is entangled in his body like a cable, and the whole person is fixed in mid-air about five or six meters above the ground.

The terrifying pain kept coming, and the master of ceremonies, unable to move his body, could only force himself to stare at the chart in front of him—not to be saved, but to distract himself a little.

…

Crimes, so pay them back from generation to generation.

…

The first thing that came into view was this line of large characters that seemed to be written in blood, and the solemn atmosphere and the power of interfering with the spirit were definitely not from human handwriting.

Is it God?

When mentioning this term, the master of ceremonies finally remembered part of the past - on that rainy night, on the highest mountain, he made a pact with the "gods"...

He is willing to pay for all sins in the place of the remaining human beings, and he is willing to quench the wrath of the gods with eternal suffering!

And as a result... Judging by the current situation, he should have succeeded.

The pain began to subside, and he was able to get more information from the chart in front of him.

If you compare himself to a computer, the gods, apparently have some weird plug-in installed on him. This system, which is inscribed with the word "atonement" at the head, will probably become a "partner" that will accompany you for a long time... If you look closely, there's more information on this form:

World Realm (1): The Realm of Emptiness - Pain Residue

Embedding identity: Puppet, Kyosuke Miyagawa

Mission: Unknown

Atonement Limit in this World: 1500 points

Remaining Sins: 349657199432 points

P.S. - If the sin value is cleared, you can return to the original world realm, and if you complete the atonement quota of the current world or die, you will enter the next world (the uncompleted amount will be ×2 and counted in the total sin value)

…

So, is the so-called "three thousand four hundred seventy five million seven hundred seventy nine thousand four hundred and thirty-two points" the sin of the remaining 20 million people?

It's really...

If he hadn't been able to move, he would have wanted to shake his head and smile bitterly.

Paying for the sins of all mankind is undoubtedly a noble deed that only a saint can do, but now, he, the so-called saint, can only be exiled to other worlds and bear these unspeakable sins...

Pain!

The pain that had eased for a while invaded his mind again, this time as if someone was poking a cone into his ear!

"Ahhh

The master of ceremonies screamed again, the strong stimulation improved the blood supply to the body, and the originally stiff limbs began to regain consciousness, he was like a shrimp in a frying pot, writhing his body hard, but there was no way to get a little relief... The torment never ended, and the table before him did not disappear, and the number that could only be used in astronomy began to change in a way that could almost be called an error, and the sin of the master of ceremonies was indeed decreasing, although it was still unforgivable.

Atonement Limit in this World: 1499/1500 points

Remaining Sins: 349657199431 points.

…

Now, at least he figured out the way to atone.

It's nothing, it's a very old-fashioned method, and it seems that both the gods of the West and the gods of the East agree on the atonement - torture and pain are the best way to do it.

"World Realm (1)"

The cold number has revealed some desperate information, because that agreement is not even the end of death for the master of ceremonies... The ugliness of a mere world is far from satisfying the evil taste of the gods, and if he dies, will he cross again?

What a nasty feeling...

Gradually, the constant pain threatened to break his nerves, and the translucent form disappeared silently from his sight.

… In its place, there is a stereotypical and gloomy face of a middle-aged man.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an image of a direct knife and axe on a stake, even if the master of ceremonies can't see the complete figure of this person because of the light, almost every visible trace on his body can be expressed in a straight line.

This is a man who seems to be silent and resolute.

Of course, for the master of ceremonies who was trapped at the moment, he was more concerned about the left hand stretched out to him by the other side - the dark skin similar to the rest of the body did not arouse the interest of the victim, in fact, the reason why he noticed this palm was only because the master of ceremonies clearly felt that his soul brought severe trembling and pain with the other party's palm every time he clenched the palm, and when the other party opened his palm, he got a rare opportunity to breathe...

Is this a punishment for him or a boring toy?

The master of ceremonies couldn't understand for a moment, as if the memories he had received from this body called "Kyosuke Miyagawa" were incomplete in the first place. In this case, he can only endure the pain while forcing himself to gather the information he hopes to get from the information he already knows.

It can be determined that this should be the world realm of the "Empty Realm", and according to the hints, it is currently two years after the death of Liangyi Ori, and shortly after the awakening of the two rituals, encountering a bizarre "twisted killing" incident, that is, before and after the painless patient Asagami Fujino incident.

But according to the emcee's memory, there doesn't seem to be any drama ** that fits the image of the man in front of him during this time... Of course, it is not ruled out that he just came to a corner of this world, and the man in front of him has nothing to do with the plot.

"Still can't do it..."The man in a black coat with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck finally spoke, and from the perspective of the master of ceremonies, a blue transparent sphere was circling in the palm of his outstretched left hand, and around that sphere, as he clenched his palm, some crystal points of light would escape, and then quickly annihilated into the darkness.

He moved his gaze to the emcee who was hanging in the air—the kind of look that was all too familiar to the emcee who had experienced the end times. In an era when human life is regarded as a mustard, this kind of gaze can be seen everywhere.

"No matter how you try, it's all just pieces of Kyosuke Miyagawa."

Kyosuke Miyagawa? That's right... This should be the original name of this body, and the other party's words made the master of ceremonies notice something that he had overlooked. Yes, he ignored this at first because it didn't feel like his limbs he once had—technically speaking, he wasn't human at all, just a puppet...

In the world realm of the Skyclave, magicians have mastered the ability to create simulated human bodies using special materials and magic, and the most outstanding of them is Orange Aosaki, who can even simulate "the exact same self". And this kind of thing is called a puppet, from this point of view, the identity of this tall and deep, cringe-inducing man is almost ready to come out...

"Although it was not my wish, I had to resort to more drastic measures."

He said this, and the ground beneath his feet slowly rose until it brought him to the height of the master of ceremonies.

The fine black hair that had never been taken care of covered his face, making it impossible to see his current expression, invisible terror brewing in the air, and before driving the target crazy, he did not hesitate to reach out and penetrate the chest of the master of ceremonies!

Araya Soren...

This ability to blend in with buildings validates all of the emcee's hypotheses than he had previously suspected, but now he had no time to care about them.

More than before... Or rather, a completely different type of pain invaded his nerves! So much so that the consciousness that had just been regained was almost lost again.

But... He didn't bleed a drop when a big hole was cut in his chest, and the rest of his body was also working desperately, portraying the pain more vividly.

At the same time, Araya spoke again.

“… Born in the midst of nothing, the child of miracles, I can't find your secrets from your soul, and the inhibition stops me, so I have to change the way, completely erase the existence of Kyosuke Miyagawa, and then let your 'origin' tell me what the root vortex is... What is the way of salvation? ”

The flat and deep voice recounted the cruel truth, although it did not bleed, the master of ceremonies still felt that his body was gradually becoming weaker, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, until he had no strength to care about what the other party wanted to do to him.

- At this moment, he recalled the worst memory of his previous life, the memory of death.

… Are you going to die again?
