Somebody Stop the Pope – 299



Episode 299

5.

once.

Just once is enough.

【Do you think I would be swayed by such magic?】

A storm pours out from Pluto’s body.

A huge wave of energy is created when divine power and magic are mixed together and a storm is created when an enormous wave that tears everything apart just by touching it.

Woohoo.

The divine power of Limen flowing from the Sword of Judgement protects my body.

I walk forward step by step with her strength.

“Siu.”

Limen’s voice rings in my ears.

“Almost there.”

Pitch-black darkness descends on all sides.

The once splendidly shining grand temple was nowhere to be found and in its place was only darkness like death.

Pluto’s appearance is distorted.

The once perfectly healthy body was filled with darkness and magical energy was emanating from every part of the body.

A person filled with greed struggles to survive at any cost.

Kwaaaaang-!

The mass of magical energy flowing out of his body hit my shield hard.

My body flinches for a moment.

Is it because it is a magical energy that contains all the evil deeds that Yushinhyeok has accumulated over the years?

It seemed as if people’s screams could be heard amidst the magic scattered across the shield.

But I walked forward through that hell.

One step at a time.

“Siwoo do you remember what we talked about earlier? You must not let go of my hand until the very end.”

I can feel the warmth of the lime against my hand.

Her warmth as warm as the morning sunlight makes my eyes moisten without me knowing.

I don’t want to be sad.

I want to send her off with a smile so that she can leave with a smile after deciding to make a sacrifice.

But it doesn’t work out as planned.

Actually tears have been flowing since a while ago.

Limen must be seeing my tears too but she tries hard to ignore them.

“Thank you.”

He spoke to her in a dry voice suppressing all his emotions.

And finally we reached Pluto.

Pluto’s golden eyes look at me in a field of vision where darkness and light mix.

【If you put that sword in me you will lose everything you love. That is your fate.】

Is this the last gasp?

Pluto cried out in a desperate voice.

【Do you think causality will just sit by and watch you absorb all the power of the gods? You will be banished from this world and will float through the dimensional rift for eternity. And the punishment will be much more terrible than you imagine.】

Ignoring those words he slowly raises his sword.

All of Limen’s power shines brilliantly from the tip of the sword.

【At the end of that eternal time… you will eventually come to the same conclusion as us.】

“What a cool will. I thought that since he lived so long his will would be grandiose.”

【For the world you desire to exist I must exist. Change your mind now. I will give you half of the world no all of it. You Lord! Be the Lord. Be the Lord and use me as your servant. You just have to not destroy the status. Then won’t you be able to be with the goddess you love for eternity?】

Pluto’s voice becomes desperate as I do not change my mind.

The new god who had been looking down on everyone was no longer there.

Even though I’ve lived a life close to eternity there’s only one worm that begs me for my life.

“You know what?”

【You bastard!】

“I never cared about rank from the beginning. I was an atheist from the moment I was born.”

【Kim Si-woo-woo-woo-!】

Booooooooo.

I swung my sword with all my might.

It was just a simple strike without any technique or flashiness.

The sword containing all our power cuts through Pluto’s unstable body.

There was no sensation at the tip of the sword.

The sword of judgment gently sliced ​​through Pluto’s body as if cutting through the air.

Where the Sword of Judgement passed a pure white line was left. That pure white line precisely divided Pluto’s body into two.

After a while.

Tsk tsk tsk.

From that line pure white threads began to spread out.

And from among those groans once again came terrible screams.

Kkaaaaaaaaaah-!

Kkaaaak!

The magic that had spread deep into Pluto’s body began to explode as it touched the Sword of Judgement.

Then at some point

Paaaaaaaah!

All the energy that had been contained within Pluto’s body burst out in an instant.

A huge amount of energy that he had accumulated over a very long period of time.

The blast began to devour everything around it greedily.

【You will definitely regret your choice…】

Grayish powder swirled from all over Pluto’s body.

Vain annihilation.

What other ending would be more fitting for this guy than this?

Pass.

Finally Pluto’s body was completely destroyed.

I bit my lip as I dusted the powder off my gloves.

But then it was.

[The entity that was disrupting the system has been eliminated. Accordingly you have been chosen as the administrator of the system.]

[Absorbs all surrounding areas.]

[Warning! Your body is imbued with powers from another dimension. It is impossible for you to become the Lord of Earth.]

[Warning! Warning!]

[Expelling sequence in progress.]

The screen before my eyes is filled with message windows with red borders.

And then the forces outside of Pluto’s control began to seep into my body.

The terrible pain that followed caused me to lose consciousness.

6.

“Siu.”

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of someone calling me.

When I opened my eyes I saw Limen’s face smiling brightly.

She gently strokes my hair as she gives me my knees.

“…Is it all over?”

A hoarse voice came out of my throat.

“Yeah. You really worked hard.”

At those words I slowly got up and looked around.

A space that looks exactly like a shrine in Seoul.

A huge sacred tree stood right behind me and flowers in full bloom decorated the entire area.

It was quickly realized that this was not reality.

Because I could feel the power of Limen in all of this.

“You suffered for about 11 years in Siwoo’s time. Were you disappointed to meet such an evil boss?”

“Where am I?”

“A space I created for a moment. It’s just the two of us.”

Limen slowly hugged me. She came into my arms and buried her face in my chest.

“Do you know how happy I was thanks to Siwoo?”

“It was possible because you led me.”

“We guided each other. I trusted Siwoo and Siwoo always trusted me.”

She remained still for a long time holding me in her arms.

How much time has passed like that?

She looks up at me from within my arms.

I slowly raised my hand. And with trembling hands I wiped away the tears flowing down her cheek.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you cry.”

“Do you hate me?”

“No it’s pretty.”

“thank god.”

I felt that the time had come to break up with her.

This is because all of Pluto’s forces that were encroaching on the surroundings were embedded in her body.

Limen absorbed all of Pluto’s powers for me.

For my own happiness only.

“…How long can we be together?”

“About 5 minutes.”

“It’s too short.”

“The longer it is the harder it is.”

Maybe she knew this moment in advance.

That’s why it hurt even more.

Even I am in this much pain if she had known the consequences of succeeding according to her plan… wouldn’t she have been in this much pain every time she saw me?

I stared at her tear-stained face.

Five minutes to say goodbye.

A lot of thoughts are running through my head.

Shouldn’t she leave?

Is there really no way for her to not disappear?

My head is so confused.

But it was always Limen who put those thoughts to rest.

“You said that the future Siwoo came to see you then?”

“…uh.”

“When I heard that story I understood what decision Si-woo had made.”

Limen walked slowly down the hill while holding my hand.

Flower petals flutter everywhere.

“Maybe that Siwoo absorbed all the damage on my behalf. He wanted to save me somehow. Maybe Siwoo is thinking about that right now too?”

There was no denying it.

I even thought that it might be better to wander through the dimensional gap and find a way back.

“He said he failed.”

I think back to what the guy said.

That desperate warning to hold Limen’s hand until the last moment.

“Do you know what that failure meant?”

“Of course I don’t know.”

“Even in that world line we wouldn’t have been able to be together.”

“why?”

“That’s just how causality works. If I banish Siwoo the god of Earth I will be the only god left in this world. Do you think the causality would allow a god from another world to become the god? I would have been banished to the dimensional rift along with Siwoo.”

“I said it was a guilty verdict until the end.”

He said it with an effort to be playful.

And then he said holding Limen’s hand tightly.

“What is that guy doing now?”

“What would Siwoo do if he was in that situation?”

“You ask the obvious.”

The answer was decided from the beginning.

I looked at Limen and smiled as brightly as I could.

“I guess he went to find Limen.”

“The dimensional gap is wider than we realize. Even if you can never find me will you still find me?”

“Still. Even if I wander through eternity.”

“As expected he is my Pope.”

Limen smiles brighter than ever.

Her expression when she laughs while crying is so cute and lovely.

“Siwoo I have just one wish.”

“say.”

“Can you please bend over a little?”

“How could this be?”

“Just right.”

Her lips cover mine.

One second two seconds three seconds like that.

She lifts her lips from mine with a flushed face.

“I’m a little embarrassed…”

She tried to speak awkwardly but I pulled her in again and kissed her.

It stayed like that for a while.

Because this time is so precious.

I’m so sad to say goodbye to her.

I wanted to hide my tears like that.

“Siu.”

I slowly open my lips. Perhaps because I feel regretful about the aftertaste lingering in my mouth I cannot bring myself to say anything.

“Look at me.”

Limen gently holds my two hands. I barely open my eyes to the warmth.

She is smiling.

She’s smiling brighter and more cheerful than ever.

“I love you. I love you very much.”

Phew.

The five minutes we were allotted have passed.

Little by little a brilliant light dust begins to swirl from her body.

Her figure gradually dissipates.

I raised my hand and wiped my tears away. I knew that if I cried at the last moment she would be upset.

“I love you too.”

I brought out the true feelings that I had kept buried inside until now.

Limen nods happily at my answer.

“I wanted to hear those words so badly.”

“I should have told you earlier.”

“I’m glad I heard it now.”

Limen’s shape becomes blurred.

My world becomes so blurry.

In that dim light she leaves me with her last words.

“Hello my Pope.”

With those words Limen’s figure completely disappeared from my sight.

“ah.”

I don’t feel like a rye anymore.

Her strength which has been with me for a very long time is nowhere to be found.

A terrible sense of loss comes over me.

What was half of me disappeared in an instant.

Woohoo.

I bow my head and look at the last trace of her left on my hand.

A small white shining light powder that resembles her.

I carefully grabbed the light powder.

When I opened my hand again not even that little speck of dust was visible.

Limen left me.

That’s how our story ended.

It was an extremely painful ending for a happy story.

Our Pope please stop this
