Ryu's eyes narrowed. Where did he have heard this before?
"So they want to fight against this true king?" Ryu asked and Asahi nodded as he said:
"Those groups of people saw magic as something that could make the world a better place. Like guns, it could have benefits and risks."
"Although guns are mostly used to slaughter, there's a difference. Which is its intention. If you kill someone who has done many bad things, you have the right to kill them or you could choose not to."
Some people could change after they had done many bad things and regretted their actions. They began to change for the better. Maybe only cold-blooded killers could kill people who had changed for the better without batting an eye.
"Different from guns, magic could help others.. Such as healing injuries."
Ryu recalled a certain game from the past. A doctor carrying a big gun that could heal others. He wondered if technology in the future could allow it. Thus breaking Asahi's sense of superiority that a gun was harmful while magic was full of benefits.
"But Asahi. From a different perspective, I feel like magic should disappear from the ends of the earth."
Asahi gazed at Ryu as he asked in irritation, "why?"
Ryu was shocked at this and calm himself down, "Listen, I haven't finished my words yet."
Knowing Asahi did not say a word, Ryu continued, "As you know, Sorcerers have someone stronger than them and weaker than them.
"I know I don't have the right to say this but I despise this a lot. The stronger looked down on the weak and became arrogant while the weak were bullied.
"Tell me if this isn't a bad thing. With arrogance planted in the strong and hatred filled the weak. Tell me where this all comes from?"
It was obvious, the supernatural means! Or rather, magic!
"Ryu, are you dumb. Isn't that from humans? Even if magic didn't exist, the strong would always bully the weak and it has been that way since the passage of time." Diana interrupted as she mocked.
She was still having fun with the guards.
"That might be true but with the existence of magic. It simply became worse, the world becoming more chaotic, openly and secretly.
"Although right now it's only a secret to the public. It's a matter of time before they know. All Beyond couldn't possibly hide this truth forever.
"When that happens. I am one hundred percent sure that the world would become more chaotic despite the rules created.
"The latter has plot holes and the civilization would change once and for all. The weak could only beg for the strong and they had to become stronger to get out of bullying.
"I know there are good things with magic existing but that's temporary. The cons clearly outweigh the pros.
"And I'm certain most problems could only be solved through killing. Now tell me, do you think such a world is a good thing?
"Tell me, is violence becoming the number one solution to every problem a good thing? Is your family being killed because you mock someone stronger than you a good thing?
"Tell me, does the world's injustice intensify a good thing?"
Asahi was speechless. Indeed, the world without supernatural means was more peaceful than he originally thought.
Although there were problems with the current civilization, the weak could still stand firm and slowly rise to the top.
Although they would face problems, it wouldn't be as bad as a civilization where magic existed.
They did realize the sudden change in Ryu but they completely thought about his words. It basically struck their hearts and moved them.
Little did they know the Ryu before them was in truth a shadow Narukami created, disguised as Ryu, and did the speech.
The original Ryu was hiding inside the Narukami space shadow and was impressed by Narukami's speech.
Tricking Asahi and Diana was a simple thing for Narukami. He had a powerful illusion after all. Tricking them was no different than stealing candy from a baby.
His speech earlier wasn't something he faked. It was something he learned after reincarnating into different worlds.
Magic had no benefits. This was something he firmly believed. That was why in this current world, he wanted to erase that, once and for all.
He did, however, plan to lay back and do whatever he wanted as this was the last time he was going to live. Like a retirement and this was his version of it: Live like a normal human, grow up, find a better education, get a job, get married and live with his family and finally, die with his families and friends surrounding him.
However, recent events showed that he couldn't. No matter how hard he tried to do what he wanted, it seemed his fate had already been decided.
He had no choice yet he didn't despise this. All of his previous lives were like this, one more didn't make any difference.
I couldn't call myself a good person, but it would be lying if I don't want to see the world become a better place, he firmly said to himself.
Shortly thereafter, 'Ryu' chased after Narukami and followed behind him. Leaving Asahi and Diana as they were still in deep thought.
After he disappeared from their line of sight. 'Ryu' rippled like water before his entire figure changed to a black figure and slowly entered Narukami's shadow.
Simultaneously, the real Ryu rose from his shadow and his expression was serious.
"Stop, Shinra." His voice was solemn
Narukami stopped as he turned his body around, "what?"
"Are you seriously going to erase magic from the world? It's the same as trying to get rid of physics. How are you planning to do it?" Ryu asked.
"The universe has a lot of things to offer. I probably could not find it here but somewhere, I could find"
"Are you trying to leave the Earth to seek an answer?"
"Not necessarily." Narukami smiled mysteriously and Ryu was stunned. He knew about Narukami's expression being stolen and his expressions like frowning, smiling, narrowing one's eyes happened randomly.
This was because what Narukami felt sometimes exceeded what the side effect could hold, hence his expression returned albeit temporarily.
"What are you talking about? Where else could you find the answer?" Ryu pondered as he frowned.
"The concepts of realms even exist in this world. It has nine realms, isn't it? Although it's only a legend.
"That itself made it real. Like vampires, dragons, werewolves are created from the belief of many people."
"So you're saying you're going to the realm above us?" Ryu couldn't help but ask.
"No, I want to go to a realm of a different universe from ours."
His answer shocked Ryu. He didn't know something like that was possible but Narukami had created many miracles, so he had no choice but to believe him.
"So the thing you want lies there? When will you go?" Ryu asked.
"Not now, that's for sure. I'm still weak and even if I do succeed in it. My body would be in an extremely weak state."
Ryu silently heaved a sigh of relief. He felt like it would be hard for him if Narukami suddenly disappeared. He wasn't prepared for it.
"There are many things that I have to do anyway. Without my help, it would be hard for you to suppress Bahamut and when I leave.
"I'll make sure you don't have to worry about anything."
Ryu smiled as his heart was touched.
"By the way, are you sure you are going to leave Diana alone? As for Asahi, I understand but Diana doesn't have anything to do with the quarrel."
"I didn't say that she has to follow wherever I go. She could do as she pleases as long as she does not harm us. Though I doubt she could." Narukami continued his pace.
"Why do you accept working with her in the first place, then? I feel like the benefits she brought are not many," Ryu's brow furrowed.
"Didn't I say it earlier? The more, the merrier. It does us no harm with her on our side, at least the possibility of her being our enemy decreased."
"What do you mean?" Ryu was alarmed.
"Fallen Nightless has a way to make a Sorcerer obey their orders.
"I didn't have much information regarding this and it's a luck in itself that Asahi's figure was not blown."
Ryu felt they were lucky. From the beginning when they were infiltrating the base, it went smoothly that it shocked him.
"Can this enemy affect you?" Ryu asked in worry. If Narukami became his enemy, he would rather let Bahamut take over his body so he could see tomorrow's sun!
Narukami was so powerful that he could probably destroy the planet anytime he wanted to.
Even Bahamut, who was ancient, and the strongest dragon in his time, couldn't help but show fear when he detected Narukami's explosive and terrifying power.
This had happened when Narukami and Bahamut fought one on one before Ryu absorbed a part of him.
"It's okay, that enemy should worry herself instead."
Her? So it's a girl... Ryu caught his words and recited slowly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Ryu's eyes narrowed. Where did he have heard this before?
