A monster of God who was punished with deprivation of hope.
Therefore, his intellect never works at the moment that Karl desperately desires.
That meant that Karl couldn't just turn back Odette's time. Because reviving her is Karl's desperate and only hope.
'What the hell... Why?'
Karl was confused.
Odette was a fake, not a real purifier. That is why she was sentenced to be hanged and ordered to be wanted.
The reason why she had to play tag with the transcendents, and the reason why she had to live a very lonely and lonely life with this fragile body, was all because she was a fake...
However. He couldn't stay in doubt for a long time. It was the moment when Odette was really about to die.
"Odette..."
Karl hugged her decapitated body with trembling hands. He hurriedly grabbed her hair that had fallen off. With his bloodied hands, he managed to gently realign her neck with her body.
"Bring it back."
His voice was horribly subdued, commanding time.
There will be an Emperor's watcher around. It was natural that if he acted in this way, he would arouse their suspicions. But there was no longer any worry about being an Emperor or a watcher.
"Turn back, turn back. Take it back."
The reason why he had to care about their gaze in the first place was for Odette's freedom. If she could not be revived, it would be meaningless to report to the Emperor.
However, before such a judgment, his reason had already been blown away.
"Stop. Stop, please, please..."
Karl showered Odette with his reason.
On her dead body were still dozens of coordinates inscribed by Karl. The coordinates glowed dark red whenever Karl ordered them back.
But in the end, nothing happened. Her time flowed forward, not back.
"No, no, don't do this, please."
Time dragged Odette to death. For the first time, he felt that the passing of time was brutal.
Karl never looked back on his life.
He had no regrets about what had happened in the past, and he had no expectations for what would happen in the future. Therefore, Karl was always detached from the passage of time.
He could stop or turn back time, which anyone could hope for, but he was only bothered.
It was only after he loved Odette that he realized the usefulness of stopping and turning back time. It was only after he loved her that he realized the meaning of time.
The present was dazzling, the past was sad, and the future was overwhelming. Knowing the meaning of time meant loving life. When he thought it was to meet Odette, he felt that his boring life was worth living.
But how, how do you do this...
"Odette, no, please. Turn it back. Please."
A desperate sob escaped from Karl's throat. Tears fell down Odette's blood-drained and pale face.
'No, I don't. This cannot be the case. This cannot be done.'
I was wrong. I was wrong. Because I was wrong. Please. Karl didn't know who he was apologizing to.
Tears streamed from Karl's eyes as he hugged Odette.
"I will surely kill you with my own hands. No matter how noble you are. At all costs."
The oath he had made long ago had come true. After Odette became everything to Karl, after she became Kari' only hope, after she became Karl's only meaning in time.
The moment he wanted to save her at all costs.
A real spring that melts the frozen snow and lets it flow into the river, the only thing that gives meaning to his life.
"Don't die. Odette. Please. Please. I was wrong."
He thought it would be good. He didn't mean to do this. He wanted to give her freedom. Try to see her smile again.
He didn't want to end her life like this.
Hold on. Stop! Bring it back. Back. Time has to obey me. That's what God-given ability is.
Knowing it was nonsense, Karl repeated the same command. He couldn't stop.
He heard John crumble beside him and Shion dealing with the Emperor's watchers.
How much time had passed?
"I killed them all. There's no need to offend the Emperor when Odette is dead. Karl. Bring Odette back to life at all costs. It's like that you have already failed, and you have to put all your hopes on the reason you deserve the damn goodness."
Shion whispered to Karl.
"You can't put Odette in the hot desert. After decay, it will be more difficult to turn back time. Even if we can't get her back, we need to move Odette right away."
Distracted by the order, Karl and Odette were moved. From the desert to the carriage, from the carriage to the private residence prepared by Karl.
Her body was placed in a room reserved for Odette.
The best bed he had ever arranged, dresses, jewelry, and comfortable shoes that wouldn't hurt her heels. It was a room filled with things that Karl wanted to do for Odette.
Karl did not have to subjugate to the catastrophe. All of his intellect was poured out on Odette's corpse.
The other Transcendents had taken over all of Karl's duties because his intellect was the last chance to revive Odette.
"I'm sorry, Odette. Let's try one more time. Huh?"
However, until Odette's corpse decomposes and turns into a white bone, he cannot stop or turn back Odette's time.
Karl carefully stroked her cheekbones with a tender hand, as if they were soft cheeks.
Karl's intellect made a subject that didn't work, and the level of contamination soared honestly every time. Unable to stop trying, Karl repeatedly purified Charlotte and turned back time.
And just as Odette's white bones were worn down and turned tan, Charlotte revealed her true identity.
***
"Karl, your favorability rating was the first to hit 100? It's absurd. Was it all acting?"
John, Shion, and Victor. In front of the corpses of the Three Transcendents, Charlotte asked nervously.
"On the disgusting Fenril theme. Do you dare to deceive me? What did you do with the status window?"
With a laugh, Charlotte threw Karl's heart to the floor. No matter how much she searched, she seemed to be very angry when she saw that there was no rein.
"Is it your plan that all the monsters of the Transcendents that you have attacked have died? You disgusting Fenril!"
The S-Class Transcendents clearly gave the reins to Charlotte.
As such, the monsters should have escaped the moment they tore apart the Transeendents. But instead of obeying Charlotte, the monsters died with the torn Transcendents.
Charlotte thought it was Karl's trick.
But Karl was sure. John blames himself for Odette's death and goes crazy. When he thinks about it, he doesn't think it was because he loved Charlotte that John gave him the reins.
It's not easy for an S-class transcendent to even die, so he must have taken this as an opportunity to commit suicide.
Odette's bones began to crumble, and Karl had never been able to turn back time.
He bet everything on hopeless hope, and in the end, he gave up.
Victor and Shion are probably similar. They had a similar expression to him after Odette's death.
It was a look that only those who realized love belatedly would.
'I envy you.'
Karl was sure that they would be happier than he was, at least in the same state as Odette.
Karl also wanted to be comfortable.
Now he was accepting it too. He couldn't bring Odette back to life with his own hands.
So he wanted to die with Odette.
But as soon as he saw death as hope, the thunderous voice rang out in Karl's mind. again.
Referee.
It was the voice of God, which he hoped was forfeited, even death.
"Haha..."
Karl couldn't help but laugh. Now he is forever. Even death did not allow him to meet Odette.
After that, something trivial happened.
Charlotte rushed at Karl with all his monsters, but the god's punishment was stronger than all the monsters Charlotte had.
In the end, Charlotte, who tried to kill Karl and take his reins, and all the monsters she owned died at Karl's hands.
In the process, the World Tree showed him the truth.
How Odette was deprived of her purifying powers, how Odette's past life was, and how unhappy Odette was because of the Transcendent, including Karl.
Seeing all the tragedies, Karl regretted his past terribly.
Every word and every action he spat out to her.
And Karl, who could not die, killed all the monsters of the gods and survived the cons of time alone.
