- "You,you are-"
- In the outer part of the Sky City of Megalius--a character-no.The <Demon> appeared under the Gate of Wisdom where the wind was raging,he was wearing a red cloak and under the cloak was a bottomless darkness,on the left hand is a red magic sword and on the right is a pitch black magic sword,and an aura of darkness emerges from its body,it's was as if darkness itself wore a cloak and took on human form,he is the most mysterious character in the fairy tale,<Magician of Megalius>.
- "<Magic Blade General>...Al Khan...!"
- The veritable appearance of the last Astral Lord put Glen and the others in a fighting state,Glen comments he didn't expect him to come back but then remembers that Al Khan did say something about waiting for them on the side of the Gate of Wisdom both in the ancient and present era.
- "..."
- Al Khan exuded powerful magic aura but he wordlessly stood still while staring at Glen and the others who doesn't know what he's thinking,Glen tells him that his boss,the Grandmaster,is already dead and that there's no need to be so loyal and play the role of the gatekeeper and asks him if he's here because they took a shortcut instead of going through the Tower of Lament again.
- "....It is thou"
- Al Khan ignored Glen's question and instead voices his confusion:
- "...That's weird.The fate of the stars flowed here but what appeared in front of me was neither Heavens nor Titus...but thou.What happened? Compared with you who appeared at the sealed Gate of Wisdom half a year ago,thou have already reached a very high level.It even made me want to say "How is this possible?" This power of yours,sense of existence,seems to be mine-"
- However Al Khan quickly halted his words before he could reveal who Glen is,a displeased Glen asks why is he even surprised because they met thousands of years ago to Al Khan's confusion,to his knowledge the only way for an ordinary human to survive and preserve their complete self for thousands of years is either obtain Eternalization through the Taum twins's protection or stay at the farthest end of time that is unshackled by time,but then he saw Namenlose on Glen's shoulder and finally realized that Heaven's apprentice both in the ancient era and the present were the same person travelling through time back and forth,Al Khan comments how wonderful the cause and effect of time is and Glen is pleased that Al Khan quickly understood because explaining it is troublesome but then the latter continued:
- "I see,at this huge point of divergence of fate,the one standing before me was neither Heavens nor Titus but thou...is this the choice of fate,or rather,the inevitabillity of fate..."
- A frustrated Glen then tells Al Khan that they don't have time to listen to his riddles and asks him to let them pass as the gatekeeper,back in half a year ago,he stopped them from passing through the Gate of Wisdom and said something about qualifications but it the ancient era he let them pass without any problems,if he won't let them go then they'll get rough because they are shouldering the fate of this world,Glen and the others prepares to what they perceive as inevitable conflict with Al Khan who silently stared at them from the depths of his hood but-
- "I...am looking for a master who is truly worthy of me."
- "That's why i made a deal with the <Maiden of Night Sky>,and got 13 lives and a human form...in order to judge whether the person in front of me is qualified to be mine master."
- Glen then asks Namenlose if she knows anything about what Al Khan is saying but she tells him that while <Maiden of Night Sky> is Falia's title in the super-magical civillization,she has no idea about what happened between her and Al Khan who then continues that there is only one reason for his existence from beginning to end.He was created and defined by a certain character for a certain purpose.Therefore he will follow the meaning of his existence and find a master who is worthy of using him in order to established purpose.
- "Purpose? Meaning of existence? Also,what do you mean by using you? Are you some kind of prop?"
- "There are 3 people worthy of using me so far,the first is Kuro Takasu(the real name of the Grandmaster),the second was Heavens,The third one is Jatice Lawfan who just joined the list."
- "...What? Jatice!?"
- Glen was startled at the mention of Jatice as Al Khan continued:
- "However whether it was Kuro Takasu or Heavens,they only have strength but not that will,because they're all losers originally.People without that will cannot use me.Unable to use my true strength.Although i look forward to the day they can really get the qualification to use me,but..."
- "....!"
- "And Jatice Lawfan,he has both the power and will.At this moment,he's the most qualified person to use me."
- "...Wait a minute,what are you talking about? i know power should refer to the realm and abillity of being a magician,but what is will? You mean to say that you want to destroy the world for selfish reasons? Is madness worthy of you!?"
- "My creator defined it like this-<The will to defy the unreasonable with one's own justice>...that is,the will to think oneself as a <Magician of Justice>."
- "Huh? What...?"
- A baffled Glen is shocked by Al Khan's words.
- "<Magician of Justice>! Wait for me!? Why!? Why did you say this word!? Isn't this just a fabricated word from a fairy tale by Rolan Eltoria!? You,how did you know this word!?"
- "Besides,it doesn't make sense at all! How can a lunatic like Jatice can be called a <Magician of Justice>!? i think you're crazy too."
- Glen and Sistine complained to Al Khan who didn't care about the noise they are making.
- "Therefore,i will follow the purpose of my existence...and accept Jatice Lawfan as my master.This is the fate of this Dimensional Tree.That's what i thought....until just now."
- "...? Until just now?"
- "An unexpected situation occured...It is you Glen Radars,Heaven's successor"
- "Ah me...?"
- "Yes you have inherited Heavens's mantle and received the Mystery of Time and Space,you are qualified to be my master but it is not enough.If you want to use me,your strength is far from enough,your strength as a magician is far worse than Kuro Takasu,Heavens,and Jatice Lawfan.But,but your existence itself-it is very strange...No,could it be said,could such a thing happen...is it really like this? Is this really possible...?"
- He finished speaking this,and begun to ask and answer questions to himself,and finally fell silent.
- "Anyway,i still have to make a clear decision,is it Jatice Lawfan,or Glen Radars?"
- Chapter 5 Absolute Justice
- "....There is Absolute Justice in this world,Glen."
- An excited Jatice tells Glen and the others who were on guard in the Hall of Keter,the deepest level of the Sky City of Megalius that represents the highest level of spirituality humans can reach,that in the multiverse,<Absolute Justice> exists for certain,even if everything is thrown into the furnace for it,no,for it,everything has to be thrown into the furnace.The ultimate justice must exists because its opposite,the <Absolutely Unforgivable Thing> does exist and that he is qualified to implement that absolute justice,because the very fact he still lives is proof itself,Glen then angrily asks if he's talking in his sleep because there's no way absolute justice exists in common sense but Jatice calls him out for still being imprisoned in the common sense of humans,because even if you know the existence of Pure Darkness as knowledge,you can't understand the existence of its evil transcends and shatter common sense and exactly because an Absolute Evil that transcends common sense exists,so does an Absolute Justice that transcends common sense as well,everything in the world is divided into 2:Light and Darkness,Creation and Destruction,Heaven and Hell,Male and Female,Yin and Yang,this is the principle of that forms the basis of magic and the most basic law of the multiverse to which Glen couldn't refute what Jatice pointed out.
- '...However,i didn't understand this at all at the time when i was in the army with you...for my own absolute justice,i crazily sanctioned evil like a mad dog,and regarded you as my greatest enemy.Thinking about it now,the me at that time was ignorant and frivolous,it really is such a shame..."
- "...."
- "But i knew everything in the <Sealed Land>,i'm afraid you experienced it too? the mysterious experience the Grandmaster gave you."
- ".....You....."
- "The first step to becoming a sage is to realize that your ignorance and understand you're just a fool.For me,what i experienced in the <Sealed Land> was my first step.At that time,i finally became aware of the justice and evil i have seen before...knowing its essence,knowing the true form of this world.After knowing all this,i will naturally start to act.Start with small things,step by step,step by step,and continue to accumulate,because every peak needs to be climbed step by step.I must eliminate the evil around me one by one...improve my justice and strength.Justice needs to be honed by constantly eliminating evil.Destroy the evil country,destroy the filthy blood of the royal family,destroy the Researchers of Divine Wisdom....surpass the Grandmaster...if i can't even do these small things,i will definitely not be able to succeed in my goal,and every step of this has succeeded."
- As he said that,he looked at Glen with complicated eyes as if provoking his old enemy,but also as if he was looking at something high above,something he yearned for.
- "And then there's you,Glen.As i said before...if i can't beat you,if i can't surpass you,my justice will be impossible.After all...you really are the only one left...Glen...."
- "I really can't understand a single word you're saying...!
- An irritated Glen tells Jatice that he knows he has his own goals but he doesn't understand it nor does he want to because they're parallel lines that will never intersect,but he asks Jatice as to why he wants him to be a touchstone of his justice to which Jatice admits that at first,he didn't know either because back then he thought his justice was the most noblest thing so obviously he doesn't need to care about Glen who he used to think is just part of the small rocks on the road and because of this,he was against him back then which he admits was quite nostalgic while chuckling,he tells Glen that at first it probably felt to him that he and Glen were at odds,had different ideas,and don't recognize each other-until the mysterious experience at the Sealed Land where he finally understood why he was so fixated on Glen and after 500.000.000 years of training and studying at the Great Library,he was absolutely sure of it! That's right-it has to be you! Only you! It is the one i love,the one i must defeat,the one i must surpass,my eternal rival,the high wall standing before me!
- "Don't make me repeat the same sentence too many times! i just want to ask,why-"
- "It's useless to say it,you won't understand now."
- Jatice laughed with a smile that seemed to understand something.
- "However,you may understand all of this soon.Of course,it is possible that you will not be able to understand until the end....in other words,the direction of fate is in your hands."
- (The book basically spells out that Glen's true identity is the original Magician of Justice who created the Blade of Righteousness,Al Khan and the Absolute Justice Jatice is yearning for and wants to surpass,so the full context of Jatice's words is that because Glen is Absolute Justice and the polar opposite of Pure Darkness,then any sacrifice,no matter how much is thrown to the furnace,is validated as long it leads to Glen regaining everything and returning to his prime,and that he realized after being given a vision of the multiverse's true form,Sea of Consciousness,and the Akashic Records by the Grandmaster that the correct answer to implement justice was to ensure that Glen awakens rather than wasting time working in the empire's Special Annex)
