, the equivalent is the size of magical power.People, no, living beings live and die continuously, and because of that the soul grows.
In fact, have existed in the earth in ancient times too.
However, the principle of causality disturbed that, making the wish hard to grant, and actually it had existed from the olden days.
And because of world fusion, principle of causality became loose, making to appear easily, only that.
By the way, my divine protection is around Grade 8, that"s why that crystal didn"t lit up. Out of range, it can"t be helped.
Sensei said something scientific like according to observation under quantum mechanics though, but let skip that detailed things.
The important one is, soul is growing.
And, what afterlife race do, that is soul corruption, makes that growth useless.
That"s why I will protect it. If sensei didn"t say that I think I will overlook them, but sensei had told me, so I must do something.
To not stop the growth of people, to not stop the growth of soul, I will fight, and protect it.
I think they have their own reason. However, I have my own reason.
Thus, I fight.
Literally, I will stake my life and fight in this survival battle.
I will destroy your egoism with my egoism.
I don"t know which one is right, my way, or your way, but I don"t have any intention to lose!
I want to protect the way I should be, because that"s my way!!
I will destroy you all while knowing I"m being inconsistent! Prepare yourselves, okay? Michael-kun!!
And one more, I want to tell you a story about a certain man.
His name is Michael-kun, 38 years old, a soldier, single. He"s just an unlucky man.
His country was in war. In addition, it"s an all-out great war which happened because of crisis in resources.
And in the midst of that, at some place, someone thought about something.
He wanted the dream of humankind, [Immortal soldier].
At that time, even though it"s still incomplete, science could perceive an existence called soul, and with that they made a hypothesis, isn"t it possible to make an energy-type living being by using soul as the core.
And so that inhuman experiment started. Fortunately, even though they have limited resource, they have many materials.
First, for that incomplete theory, many people"s soul got destroyed.
And next, they have completed the theory, but many people"s soul got destroyed until they know that salt can destroy soul.
And at the end of that, they succeed in experimenting about keeping someone alive while killing and taking out their blood and salt content.
In this way, the first afterlife race is born, but because the subject is a person from enemy country, they killed him with salt.
And Michael came voluntarily to become the next subject, for his country, for his dead wife, for his dead children.
Even though it"s an abomination, they succeed the experiment, and moreover, they come to know about secondary effect.
He has a special characteristic, he can autonomously reproduce himself by contaminating other people"s soul.
Enemies got captured, so the excellent soldier, Michael, also became many.
The war continues.
No matter how many times their body got destroyed, they can move their soul to their enemy as many as they like.
They don"t care any attack such like salt as long they have advanced equipment.
Having gun in their hand, they rode tanks, piloted aircraft, and they even easily pa.s.s human"s boundary.
And they win. Win, win, and win.
His country united the world, and Michael was sung as a great hero.
And after that, unfortunately, his country started to rot.
If every resources from the entire world used, even though it"s quite scarce, it will be above enough.
Ma.s.s production, ma.s.s consumption, everyone can be happy in that country, what a wonderful society, literally.
The people who have escaped poverty smiled brilliantly, and everyone revered Michael as a hero.
They enjoyed material pleasure such as warm foods, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous house.
However, there"s one guy, left out.
Michael can"t see dreams. Because he can"t sleep.
Michael can"t eat food. Because he has thrown away his stomach, tongue, sense of taste long ago.
Michael can"t wear clothes. Because he has thrown away his skin, flesh, sense of pain, and warmth long ago.
And, Michael can"t love. He didn"t have any skin to touch it and can"t feel warmth too, even just by touching it, he would got rejected with the salt content inside human body.
Nevertheless, Michael endured that by seeing the smile of people. He endured, endured, and endured.
But, the people can"t endure it.
Before long, the respect toward Michael faded out. Forgotten. And even more as the generation pa.s.sed.
Those eyes which was full of respect and admiration became full of scorn and disgust toward the living dead.
Therefore…… Love changed into hatred.
They are literally one person, Michael. So if one Michael start to hate something, every Michael will start to hate that too.
He can only see those smiles of his country"s people, which he supposed to love so much, as an object of hatred.
And like that, Michael change from soldier into a revolutionist, or perhaps a thinker.
"Everyone, equally, become Michael!"
The crowd of Michael, who are excellent soldiers, changed his countrymen who have forgotten war long ago into him.
Michael"s anger, unknown when to subside, turned towards the entire world, every land, everyone became Michael.
Michael"s world for Michael created by Michael.
The world of Michael only.
And so, Michael even lost his name.
Because there"s no Michael in this world anymore, because there"s no people would call Michael"s name in this world.
The only people left out are the crowd of nameless hero.
And, they only pa.s.sed their life in boredom.
Because his instinct for self-preservation doesn"t allow him to commit suicide.
Even after becoming like this, he still fears his death very much, so if there"s a sea, only a small amount of Michael would cross that.
There"s no people left to satisfy his instinct of self-multiplication.
And that gave Michael a very great suffering.
A suffering called boredom. And after a very, very long time, in the middle of his anguish because he can"t satisfy his instinct, the world fusion happened.
At that time, his anger has subsided. But, the only thing left in him, his instinct of self-preservation and self-multiplication stimulate him to satisfy his craving by sacrificing people as few as he can. He conducted honorable poverty. However, Michael increases as the time pa.s.sed. So the victim increases too.
And in those endless days, at a certain day, when he was doing his winter travel just like he did every year, in the middle of his route from his hometown, Moscow, until the edge of north, he met a boy riding a dragon.
It"s me riding [NTR-gou].
And he declared war. Looks like that word lit up their soldier"s heart which had been frozen since 12,000 years, no, long before that.
And after that, Michael accepted that designated route, while knowing greatly that would be a trap, because he wanted to die.
He think, he would magnificently destroy those trap I set up.
Could I call him big bro?
By the way, sensei said, at the moment Michael-kun saw me, his instinct said,
"This boy is the same as me, and he"s my death G.o.d." like this.
As expected of old man"s wisdom, that excellent soldier and a hero as well, Michael-kun know me really well.
I declared that war proclamation inside my heart too.
Those skeletons which motivation can"t be felt.
Th-Those guys……. They are just like students who keeps talking all the time even though the princ.i.p.al is already on the platform!!
Y-O-U A-L-L!! Purge!! I will purge you all!!
