Chapter 138: A Tragedy Repeated Infinitely
The whole point of Frederick Melvin is for this nightmare of "having Justes in existence".
It can be seen from the nightmare.
From the very beginning, Professor Gray was the student he was interested in...... And not Frederick, who reached the Silver Order at a young age.
Because from that time, Professor Gray already knew.
- Frederick Melvin will eventually be killed by himself.
Therefore it is pointless to teach him.
Murder Ingrid in front of Justes.
and the later murder of Frederick.
It's all about creating a nightmare that's so real that it's real...... And this is to make Justes lose himself in the nightmare, confusing dreams with reality.
"Justes confuses reality with dreams and sees another possibility of 'Frederick' in the nightmare. As the story progresses, due to the butterfly effect caused by Ingrid's rescue, Frederick's fate comes to an end...... And Justus, in a fit of rage, turned to his trusted teacher, 'Professor Grey' Seti.
"He was 'sent over' by Seti. Or rather, he thought he had come to the past. But that's still just the 'plot' of Frederick's nightmare...... Justes entered a dream within a dream.
"He killed Ingrid. To put history back in its 'right' place, and still be an unfallable shield, to go on a mission in the barren fields with the living Frederick β that's exactly what he wanted. β
From the very beginning, what Justes expected...... When he came to the barren land of coal and embers, he didn't come to help his friends collect their bodies.
It is this "reluctance to admit it" that allows Professor Gray to confuse his reality with his dreams.
But the longer he stayed in the embers.
The uneasiness that lurked in Justes' subconscious became more and more apparent.
He gradually realized that he was dreaming. That's why the town suddenly became empty.
But in fact, he was not the one who woke up.
But that "betrayer".
- While they were walking down the street, Frederick was suddenly killed.
Justes, of course, was furious.
He will rush over at all costs and kill the attacker - even if that person is another self.
That's because, subconsciously, Justes perceives ...... Perhaps it was himself who killed Frederick. β
And he has to fight with "another self".
Whatever the outcome, there will only be one person left in this no-man's world.
That's "Justes".
If a person dies in a dream, he will of course be resurrected on the surface.
He existed in Frederick's nightmares, and he could only wake up from the previous levelβ
And the characteristic of this nightmare is "repetition".
Once you die, you will lose the memory of the [re-enactment].
β that is, a tragedy that repeats itself infinitely.
"Do you remember," Annan said to the delicious wind goose, "Nefertari said. In her nightmares, Frederick died three times.
"The first time was when she was crushed to death by a building while saving Ingrid; The second time was when he was killed by another Justus on the street. And what about the third time? β
Annan stared at the void in front of him and said slowly: "The third time, just after waking up from a dream within a dream.
"That's when Justes wakes up from the presence of Trisino Seti the 'Dream Eater' in his dreams. That is, the timeline when Ingrid is not dead, and Fred Drake has just been killed.
"How will Justus, who has lost his memory and returned to the beginning, decide?"
ββ¦β¦ He wouldn't know anything and go back in again. β
The voice of the delicious wind goose trembled a little.
Once again, go through the exact same cycle as before.
Back to the Ember Barren Again......
Just like the proverb left by Justes.
[A brief moment of anger.] Never-ending remorse. γ
I'm afraid that Justers, who "betrayed" Frederick, is from countless cycles...... Justes who is truly aware of everything.
That is, the "Enlightened" Justus.
Realizing that it was just a nightmare, Justers, who recalled the proverbs left by Frederick at the beginning-
Life is a cage of death...... Death is a hymn to life. γ
This is Frederick's motto to the Purifier at the beginning of the nightmare.
To take it literally, that is...... At the end of life, death is freed from the cage. It exists to praise the "life" that imprisons itself.
So who are the living?
Justes.
Who are the deceased?
Frederick.
His meaning was simple - as long as Justes died, "Frederick" would be reborn.
But Frederick's soul had been used entirely to construct nightmares.
He could not have been resurrected.
It was only the name "Frederick" that was resurrected.
But unfortunately, Justes, who was confused between reality and dreams, did not hear this prompt.
Or rather, he didn't care when he heard it.
In the moment when Justes is furious at seeing Frederick's death in a nightmare, he seeks strength to try to kill Ingrid and save Frederick...... This has led to a deeper tragedy for Frederick.
And the only "enlightened one" Justus hid his memory recovery. Ask Trisino to "go back in time".
He's going to kill Frederick in his dreams.
Let Frederick be the side of the [Dead].
Then the imprisoned self will be liberated and reborn-
This is also the [exit] of Frederick's nightmare after his death.
That is, [Kill Frederick].
But this exit was blocked.
by himself.
This "Enlightened One" Justus lost one of his most important memories due to the nightmare nature of the "re-enactment".
β¦β¦ That is, he has been killed by another "Justes" countless times.
Why did Justers and Frederick suddenly enter the "no man's street"?
Because the "Enlightened" Justus came to the Coals Barren.
He's just as Justes.
And he already knew that this was a dream.
So he's going to kill the fake Frederick and set himself free.
His own awakening became the final piece of the puzzle of the paradox of infinite loops.
ββ¦β¦ It's like "Horror Cruise". β
Delicious Wind Goose finally understood everything.
I feel chills down my spine because of this.
It's a scene...... An incomparably grand, infinitely repeating tragedy.
Frederick and Ingrid are just props on the field.
This is a one-man show.
The hero and the demon king are basically the same person.
Annan said slowly: "Do you remember?
"I told you before that the power of idol wizards moves according to titles. At that time...... we thought that Frederick would call himself this in order to steal the power of Professor Gray. And we've learned that Professor Wolf is Professor Gray. β
Why did Benjamin not answer similarly when Annan asked Benjamin, "Is Professor Wolf stealing the power of the man in the mirror?"
In fact, all the truth is already hidden in that sentence -
The one who stole the power of the person in the mirror was actually Professor Gray. But after Professor Gray steals the power of the "mirror......
"Part of it", that is, the part that is "Professor Gray", wakes up in Frederick's body and becomes Professor Wolf "Frederick"!
Why did Professor Ash suddenly lose the power of the elements?
Because the power of the elements has been transferred to the body of "Professor Wolf"!
Why did Professor Gray change his name to "The Bone Healer" and Professor Wolf became a believer in the tragic 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 "Wolf Professor" as the Pope!
The reason why Professor Wolf became the mentor of the werewolves.
Not for revenge.
Rather, it is to effectively improve the status of werewolves.
Because the tragic writer himself is the god of werewolves - he is the pope of the tragic writer, and this is a proper gift.
"And this scene [the tragedy of infinite reincarnation] is a tragedy that Trisino Seti dedicated to the tragedy writer - in order to allow the tragedy writer to help himself and plunder power from the future gods."
