21 – Episode 21. The first time was coincidence, the second time was fate.

Astrologer Airi Haven.

She, the last descendant of the God of Destruction, came to this earth with her mission, and soon held her breath as she engraved in her eyes the terrible sight of her that was revealed in her crystal ball.

A sight where everything in sight is burned and collapsed.

But what particularly caught my eye was the cloudy powder covering the ruins, even though everything had not burned down yet.

Sand or ash?

No matter what, I too can be said to be a clue to the being who caused this scene.

‘This absurd thing can suddenly happen, even modifying the existing future…’

This is something that rarely happens.

In order for something to happen that would devastate a country, there must be corresponding omens, and an astrologer’s foresight is derived by taking all such omens into consideration.

The fact that the future he predicted changed in an instant in such a situation is because the other person suddenly decided to commit this kind of thing without any chance for such a foreshadowing to occur.

To the extent that even the person who exists beyond the vast universe who is giving revelation to none other than himself has only just recently noticed.

‘… ‘Ancestor, is this the future you read about?’

Angolmoa, God of Destruction.

A being who came down to this earth a long time ago following a revelation to destroy the world, but for some reason ascended back to heaven and left.

That bloodline remained on this earth when the God of Destruction became connected to humans, and now, his descendants have gathered their strength and left it to him.

Yes, in fact, the current self has awakened the same power as Haven, the first demigod.

I knew this because I was born with that kind of power.

This clan’s innate power to read the movements of the stars is said to be possible due to the intervention of a God of Destruction outside of this world.

“… “He is the god of destruction.”

Airi vaguely sensed such intervention.

Soon, she concentrated her power on his crystal ball and attempted to communicate with him.

“Until now, our clan had only seen the future by reading the movements of the stars, but we had not been able to figure out how to modify the future in the desired direction.”

Even if we can change the future, fate is bound to split into countless branches at every moment.

With a power that fades with each generation, it is difficult to find the right path in destiny.

Even though it has become possible now that we have gathered all that power, the only way to do so is to confirm through sentences or blurry scenes the way to the future we are trying to move towards.

It is as if someone is indirectly conveying the fact, rather than confirming the possibility directly.

“The reason we joined forces was to prevent the mortal future that would soon arrive on this earth. “You originally tried to destroy it with your own hands, but now you are moving forward on a completely different path from the future where you are about to retreat after reading the moment of destruction that will soon occur.”

Reading the future and showing the way to modify the future are all possible results because a being called God is watching this land.

Airi, who only realized this after becoming the first demi-god, took this moment to ask the question she had been harboring all along.

“Is the reason you have been giving revelations to us who are trying to prevent mortality because you also do not want this land to be destroyed?”

[…] ….]

There was no reply.

Nevertheless, Airi asked him again.

“Or are you watching the struggles of your descendants as entertainment, since the future is fixed even if we struggle?”

Even though he felt his presence every time he read the movements of the stars, he could not bear to trust him.

Because its very existence was a wish for the destruction of this land.

Even the intention of forming a relationship with a human being and creating one’s blood on this earth may be nothing more than entertainment, but how can one who has grown up as a human being be able to trust his intentions unconditionally?

“Will this future, which has been modified now, come true if I do not intervene?”

Nevertheless, she asked him with earnestness.

I don’t know what their intentions or feelings are, but do they have the right to struggle even though they are mere insignificant creatures?

[Yes.]

When the answer to that question was revealed in the crystal ball, Airi let out a heavy breath and put strength into her hands.

We still don’t know the intention, but fortunately, it provides a fragmentary answer regarding the power to read the future.

Yes, that will be enough for now.

He just wants to follow the responsibility he has and change as much as he can.

‘This kind of future is too sudden, but you can’t really blame him.’

Soon, Airi had gathered her thoughts and the miserable sight floating in the crystal ball was etched into her eyes again.

The future revealed by reading the movements of the stars……. To be precise, it is a certain future drawn by the God of Destruction while observing this land from that universe.

‘Is the sudden change in the future because there is an error in his judgment?’

No, it’s not like that.

As she communicated with him and felt his vessel, Airi thought that because he was an absurd being, he could immediately reflect the corrected results.

Yes, this is the result of the whims of beings whom the Haven clan defines as ‘transcendants’ whose movements are difficult to predict.

‘The results he gives us can be compared to writing a journal while looking down at an anthill with a magnifying glass.’

Check the ecology of ants and write down the records you find out.

Once such information has been accumulated to a certain extent, it will be possible to roughly predict all the ecology and processes that occur there just by looking at the sections, without having to check the anthills one by one.

Even a mere human would be able to do that, but it would not be difficult for a being called God to predict the future of a planet.

‘But that only applies to normal ecology. No matter how much you try to completely control the environment for observation, variables can appear at any time.’

What if an unexpected mutation is born within the anthill?

Or what if a natural enemy invades from outside the anthill, or a disaster such as heavy rain or earthquake occurs?

Such variables make prediction difficult, and they tend to lead to divisions where observers discard or replace all of the accumulated data.

The results that immediately reflect the results of such modifications are future changes.

Transcendents, as the Haven clan has always defined them, refer to beings who deviate from God’s expectations who observe themselves solely on a whim without any particular warning.

‘Of course, after recognizing such a whim, he will also make corrections. Rather, he will exert an influence that will drastically change the future, so it would be easy for him to read the omens starting from that moment.’

The key is how far you can change that future once you know it.

Ironically, although astrologers can read the future, they are limited in what they can change with their own hands.

To overcome that limitation, help from others is inevitable, but as is the case with fortune tellers, it is not easy to gain the trust of ordinary people.

Even if you tell them the truth, if it’s not what you want, it’s a fraud or a rumor. They often talk about it, and when they read the future of someone who pretends to comply with what they say, they often end up stabbing themselves in the head…….

“…… “Great ancestor.”

But now she is at the same level as the first demigod.

That power goes beyond simply reading the movements of the stars, and even reaches the level of communication with the God of Destruction, who has the power to read fate.

“As your creation, I dare to ask you a favor. “If you can hear my voice, please teach me how to avoid the future that is revealed to me at this moment.”

The moment when light shined through the crystal ball that responded to one’s power with an earnest prayer.

That consciousness interfered with the universe that existed beyond the clear sky, and eventually reached the remnants of the God of Destruction spread there, leading to communication with him.

[Wait. Then we will meet.]

Only a fragmentary message that cannot be described in detail,

‘…Meeting with whom?’

[You will also know that when the time comes.]

That’s the end of what I have to say.

Afterwards, the moment she removed her power from her crystal ball, Airi felt her exhaustion drain, frowned and sighed deeply.

‘If you ask more specifically, you may get a more accurate answer……. ‘The power I have is not infinite.’

It doesn’t take a lot of power to simply read movements, but what she wants to do is find out exactly what future she wants among the countless branches of fate.

It is difficult to even read the determined future, but it is not easy to accurately figure out only the path designated by the God of Destruction’s answer among the countless paths of destiny.

He also knows those limitations, so he will try to keep his answers as concise as possible to convey his thoughts.

“But if that’s the answer you gave… …. “I’ll just believe it for now.”

His revelations were always accurate, except for the future being modified by the whims of the transcendental ones.

So, as I sat there quietly following his message in the crystal ball, I soon saw someone walking from afar.

A man walking through the streets wearing flashy armor and holding a spear with a bluish blade on his back.

The moment Airi caught his eye, she could guess it right away. Yes, that person is the main character of the revelation given to him.

“An adventurer passing by. Please come here……. Uh?”

It was only for a moment that he opened his mouth to call him. The moment she became aware of his presence, a familiar afterimage began to appear in Airi’s mind.

Just by facing an object, the ability to vaguely grasp the object’s experiences or memories is an innate ability of the Haven clan.

Unless you look deeply, it is only a brief result, but the more clearly the person remembers, the more clearly it is possible to confirm it as if it were organized in documents.

The person’s personal information, chronic concerns, and even issues that are being taken seriously right now.

“Huh, huh? You are… ….”

“… What?”

A man with a blank expression approaches Airi, who feels familiar from the past.

Although he recognized him right away, the man did not remember himself right away and just rested his chin and tilted his head.

“Hmm? Where did you see it and who was it?”

It is natural.

It’s already been a few weeks since I broke up with him.

So, I had to forget him too…….

“Wow, wow…” ….”

Why on earth?

Since that day, not once, whenever I was not conscious of anything else, I kept thinking about him.

“Wow, wow wow!? “Why are you here!!!!”

“Oh, you know me, right? I was just about to remember who that person was……. “Are you the fortune teller I saw a while ago?”

“Ah, yes. Well, uh……. Well, I mean!!”

Iri Haven was startled by the sudden encounter and was shaking his hands.

After that, her gaze began to quickly turn to her crystal ball in front of her.

‘Well, something is wrong…’ …. No, there is nothing wrong with what he said. The whims of the transcendent don’t happen that often.’

Yes, from the perspective of reading the future, this is not a coincidence.

The God of Destruction read that he would come here, predicted the present that he and he would meet, and was confident that by meeting him and giving him advice, he could prevent the future that he had read about.

‘But, that’s… …. If we meet again like this, I’ll be with this person and that and that…….’

This is our second meeting while reading the future.

If this is not a coincidence, wouldn’t it be as if it was predicted that you would end up with him?

“Hey, are you okay? Your face is very red… ‥.”

“… Huh.”

A coughing sound before the question is even finished.

With that, Airi lifted her head and spoke to him with a relaxed smile on her lips.

“We previously broke up due to unavoidable circumstances, but we are reunited once again in this place. “You could say it was fate guided by the stars shining in the sky.”

“Ah, yes. Long time no see. “Was it Mr. Airi?”

“Yes. I am Iri Haven, a being who sees the past and reads the future by reading the movements of the stars…….”

The most calm and the most serious.

Airi, who succeeded in maintaining such an atmosphere, smiled and faced him with wide-open eyes.

“Now that you think about it, even though I offered to read your fortune for free, I ended up sending you away without realizing it.”

Yes, the future may have been decided, but it can be changed by variables.

I don’t know why the God of Destruction read such a future and gave it to me, but if I keep that outcome in mind and remain vigilant, nothing will come true.

Of course, the purpose of coming to this empire is to find a partner for the revival of the clan, but that partner must be chosen carefully.

It’s not something to think about right now. She began to smile leisurely, as she thought about continuing her consultation with the man in front of her.

“If it’s okay, why don’t you finish what you couldn’t finish then?”

Whatever happens to your relationship with him after this.

For now, let’s focus only on the fact that this person is the hope that can prevent the ‘great disaster’ that will befall this empire.

***

“Well, we have to go through preparations, so please wait a moment.”

“Ah, yes. Get ready… ….”

Iri Haven, an astrologer who waves both hands in front of the crystal ball in front of her.

As her memories of her gradually emerged, starting with her name, I tried to bring up her work at that time to change her mood.

“Hey, Mr. Airi. I’m curious about one thing, but last time…….”

“It was an accident.”

“… Yes?”

“It was an accident. “Please forget it.”

“Ah, yes.”

Mr. Airi speaks firmly and continues his work.

It was something she said to lighten her mood, but I don’t think it was a very pleasant memory for her.

No problem. No matter how cool she tries to act, it’s weird if she doesn’t notice anything when her client finds a porn file.

I decided not to bring it up for no reason, but to understand it with her warm heart, so I decided to focus on the consultation with her that would soon follow.
