World 012 The {Record Of The Heros Story}: Final Chapter The Fate of the Recorder

Thus, without needing to take action himself, the true Demon Lord was erased from this world by another Demon Lord. However, it was after this event that the hero Zurichs true abilities began to shine.

Two months after his two companions parted ways with him following their joint exploration of the ruins, Zurich returned to the Dashiketama Ruins, leading a team of thirty researchers to initiate a full-scale investigation. What they discovered there defied the limits of their eraan abundance of extraordinary technology, far ahead of its time and even rivaling modern advancements. This endeavor ultimately evolved into a colossal, collaborative undertaking involving multiple nations, who jointly managed and studied the ruins.

Despite this enormous progress, Zurichs priorities shifted drastically one day. He began insisting that the focus should no longer be on the ruins or their ancient civilizations but instead on analyzing and restoring the devices harnessing the power of God found within. This sudden shift in focus led to fierce debates over the definition of God and its implications for existing religious systems.

Zurich, undeterred, repeatedly made statements like, If we lose Gods power, humanity will face extinction. Unsurprisingly, his credibility crumbled rapidly.

Nyamcket, who had long been Zurichs loyal assistant and later took over the official research of the Dashiketama Ruins and the Eraltriya Civilization, grew increasingly concerned. She repeatedly attempted to reason with him, but Zurich remained steadfast in his conviction.

Eventually, Zurich smiled gently and spoke to his former assistant.

Haha, youre right. I suppose Im no longer an archaeologist.

Thats because Ive shifted my focus from uncovering the past to ensuring that history reaches the future.

But mark my words, my message will reach them. Guided by the light that cleaves through the darkness, they will move forward, connecting a speaking ship to the wisdom of magic. There lies the culmination of past legacies and the future path to follow.

Dont worry. We wont see it, but its undoubtedly written. From here on, well leave it to the younger generation. I entrust the world to the light.

With these incomprehensible ramblings, Zurichdespite his monumental achievements as a heroleft the world, unacknowledged and overlooked. Standing by his side, Nyamcket, who had earned far greater fame than Zurich by that point, clenched her fists in frustration and shed silent tears as she struggled to understand her mentors words.

What do you think happened to Zurich-san? And this ending Hey, Ed, dont you think its

Tia

Tias dissatisfied voice trailed off as she noticed my silence. I had no response to give. My gaze was locked onto the glowing fragment of divine light encased within the stone frame we now called the [Divine Throne].

Could it be? Is that what this is about? But that cant be

Ed? Whats wrong? Tell me what youre thinking, Tia demanded, concern coloring her voice.

I think I think Zurich knew wed read this.

What!?

Tia gasped, her voice filled with shock. It was a natural reactionI was just as stunned as she was.

How is that possible? I mean, sure, if you told him about it in advance, then maybe

No, I didnt tell him anything. Even if Zurich somehow knew about this book, theres no way he couldve made statements like this.

The words Zurich left in the text seemed to hint at what we were supposed to do next. In other words, Zurich knew about a future that neither Tia nor I had seen yet.

It was as if

Are you saying Zurich was looping through time too? Like Princess Margaret?

No It feels like his situation was completely different from hers. Actually, its almost as if Zurich and I are the ones whove swapped places Sorry, I cant explain it any better than that, I admitted.

Is this what it felt like for the other heroes I met in their second or even third loops? Knowing things you dont, guiding you in convenient ways This indescribable feeling of helplessness was downright maddening.

Well, either way, Zurich went to great lengths to get this message across to us. Whatever meaning it holds, we cant ignore itits worth testing out.

Youre right, Tia agreed.

I picked up the softly glowing [Divine Throne] and held it out toward the edge of the world, slowly moving it from side to side. Eventually, I noticed the light shining just a bit brighter in one particular direction.

This way, huh? Should we tie ourselves to something before heading out?

If thatll help, Ill hold the light. You tie the rope, Tia offered.

Thanks.

While the light would help us retrace our steps using the [Akashic Compass], there was no guarantee it would last forever. Taking precautions was better than regretting it later, so I retrieved a length of rope from my [Strangers Box] and handed it to Tia.

She tied one end of the rope to the leg of the table and held the rest in her hands.

Are you sure the tables okay? What if it just slides off when we pull on it?

Huh? Chairs might move, but the table? Thats impossible. Didnt you notice, Ed?

What the?

I placed my hands on the table and tried pushing it. It didnt budge an inch. Even though it appeared to be just sitting there like everything else, no amount of force could get it to move. Frustrated, I pressed harder, only to leave bright red marks on my palms.

Huh So it really doesnt move. How does that even work?

Who knows? But since it wont move, its perfect for this, right?

Good point. Alright, lets go.

There was no point in overthinking it. I held the [Divine Throne] in one hand, tracking its glow as I walked, while Tia clung to my arm with one hand and carefully released slack from the rope with the other.

We occasionally ran out of rope, forcing us to join new pieces together ten times in total. Eventually, after covering about 500 meters of empty space, we reached what seemed to be our destination.

This is it? Tia asked.

Probably.

As we approached, the light grew gradually brighter. Stepping past the point caused it to dim, and returning made it shine stronger again. This had to be the place Zurich was referring to.

So Do we summon the talking ship here? What even is a talking ship?

Dont tell me youve forgotten. Remember Gintas world? We rode one there.

Tia mulled over my words for a moment, her expression turning slightly sullen.

Oh, that thing. But, you know, the ship didnt even talk to me, she pouted.

Ah right. W-well! Lets not dwell on that. Lets just get it out already!

Now that she mentioned it, I did recall that the ship hadnt responded to Tia beforesupposedly for security reasons or something. Realizing this was a touchy subject, I quickly cut it off by pulling the [Strangers Box] into use and summoning the ship.

Well then, lets see if it still works.

After about five minutes of awkward silence, the shipconstructed with the technology of a distant futurefinally came to life and broke the stillness with its voice.

[Sufficient luminosity detected. Exiting sleep mode.]

Nice! Its working. So, about connecting to this so-called Magicnetdo I just link you up to it or what?

[Initiating ship diagnostics No anomalies detected. Current remaining magical power: 13%. Operations unaffected. Attempting connection to Magicnet Connection failed]

What!? Failed!?

Before I had the chance to do anything, the ship had already tried and failed to connect to th Magicnet on its own. And there was no way I was just going to quietly accept that.

No, no, no! Thats not happening! Try again! Connect to it again!

[Order received. Retrying connection to Magicnet Connection failed. It is recommended to relocate to an open area to improve reception of magical waves]

Dont be ridiculous! Theres no place in any world more open than this! Try again!

[Order received. Retrying connection to Magicnet Connection failed.]

Wha!? Youve got to be kidding me

Ed, whats going on? Tia asked, her face full of worry.

Yeah, uh good question, I muttered, my own confusion mirroring hers.

What was happening? Was I misunderstanding something? There was no way what Id read before was an outright lie right?

[Breaking news from Atomis Industries, advancing across dimensions to serve you better.]

Tch. Hey, ship, can you not? Im trying to think hereshut up for a sec.

I clicked my tongue in irritation as the ship interrupted my thoughts with what sounded like an aduntil:

[Beep bzzt Connection from Singularity EoE detected. Initiating forced transfer to Agastia Archive. Please remain in your current position.]

What? Hey, what the hell is th!?

Before I could react further, a glowing white magic circle appeared beneath my feet. I couldve jumped out of it in time, but

Tia, come here!

Kyah!

Without thinking, I pulled Tia close, ensuring we both stayed inside the circle.

Ed, are you sure about this?

Its better than sitting around in the dark trying to figure things out. Besides

Hah, youre right. Well be fine anywhere, as long as were together, Tia said softly, her arms around me as she laughed lightly into my ear.

A few seconds later, the light from the magic circle grew almost blinding.

Three Two One Executing world transfer.

The familiar, mechanical voice echoed in my head. And just like that, we were whisked away to somewhere new.
