I became Kevin: Star Railway

Between the Pillars

Haiyue used the "Devil Sword of Departure" to transform the evil dragon and gradually buried Lidilanya in the moonlight barrier. It was about to be completely sealed.

Two figures were reflected in her vision. They were Pope Dror who continued to pray to God and Gun King Langdon who stared at the sky; standing next to them was the future god.

Langdon lowered his gaze to the pillar.

"...Hey, savior..."

Langdon murmured this, probably thinking Kevin could hear him.

“I believe there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I never doubt it.”

As Langdon walked toward the broken pillar, he whispered to Kevin, "I've thought about how it would be if there was an ideal road that would allow everyone to survive. Even if there isn't one now, I'd like to build one in the future."

Step by step, as if recalling his experiences so far, Langdon took his steps slowly but powerfully.

“This is the best result of predicting the future with the eyes of the God of the Future. However, to overturn the prophecy, sooner or later we must challenge the future that He cannot see.”

Saying these words now, perhaps he has realized his fate of dying here.

"There should have been hope here. But in the end, maybe it was just my wishful thinking that there was hope in the invisible darkness over there."

Langdon paused.

"When the day of disaster comes, the pillars will break and the sky will fall. Even if we, the knights of Avia, want to hold up the sky here, we will only postpone the problem. In the future, the sky will fall again, and our descendants will have to continue to offer sacrifices and sacrifice their lives on this land to continue the existence of the underground world."

Langdon clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, showing the rage he felt at his own powerlessness.

"I wanted to end it. I wanted this generation of Sons of God to be the final sacrifice. I wanted to end the cruel fate of having to continue to sacrifice their lives to support the Zenith. I don't want to leave this fate to Avia's descendants. I wanted to end it all with us."

Langdon's face showed a sense of tragedy of unfulfilled ambitions.

“…But I couldn’t do it…”

He pounded his fist on the cracked pillar, and fragments of it fell down sparsely.

"I'm sorry, savior. Everything that happened was due to my incompetence. If you could see the future, you might be able to change the outcome."

Langdon expressed his regret and said, "As expected, I am not suitable to be the Gun King of Avia."

He clenched his teeth tightly and stared straight ahead as if he was trying to shake off the past.

"Let me clean up this mess and then die. I will keep praying down there, hoping that you can overturn my prophecy."

Langdon said to the god who had chosen him with a determined look on his face: "Future God, it's really hard for you to accompany me until now. I have to overturn the prophecy you left behind, but you are still willing to help me without complaint. I have to thank you."

"Perhaps the God of Origin changed me. If it were the old me, I would be so angry that I would want to kill anyone who dared to question the future I saw. But after she overturned the prophecy I left behind, I realized that the future is not absolutely unchangeable."

The Future God replied.

"Is that so? This is my last wish."

Langdon took a deep breath and said resolutely as a king: "I'll leave Avia in your care."

Unable to look at the silent face of the Future God, Langdon showed an uneasy expression.

"I'm sorry. In the end, I'm just like the other Gun Kings. I'm a loser who can't bear the weight of the prophecy and can't change it even if I see the future."

"Do not."

The God of the Future spoke, denying Langdon's words.

Langdon slowly turned his head. The future god opened his eyes.

"You are not useless. This is not an impossible darkness, but the best future that the eyes of the God of the Future can see. It's just that the God of the Future has not allowed you to see this future."

Langdon gasped, his face filled with surprise.

"…My divine eye has a blind spot…"

The God of the Future said to the trembling Langdon, and the God of the Future nodded decisively.

"Just like the savior said, the future divine eye given to you has a blind spot."

Although still unable to conceal his surprise, Langdon let out an "Ahhh" as if he understood.

"... This happened before... The savior did say so..."

He said, as if recalling what Kevin had said on the terrace of Gun King Palace:

"If a prophet makes a prediction, that prediction can be easily overturned. If the future you see is bad, you just need to take actions that will prevent the prediction from becoming a reality..."

Why didn't the God of the Future let him see this future? The reason is easy to guess.

"The reason why I didn't tell you the prophecy is because I want that future to become a reality no matter what. Is this the same for me and the God of the Future..."

If the God of the Future saw a future that He did not want to be overturned at all costs, He would not have conveyed this prophecy to the prophet.

This is just like Langdon, who would not have told the public about the bad future if he had known that it would happen. It was because of his trust in Him that Langdon did not notice the blind spot in his eyes.

"Just like the savior said, you lead the future god to this blind spot like this. If it is now, we should be able to reach the future that the future god's eyes cannot see."

"...Does this mean... not only me, but even your divine eyes have blind spots?"

The Future God nodded definitively.

"The eyes of the future god also have many blind spots. For example, the future after I disappear."

The God of the Future said solemnly: "That is to say, the future without the God of the Future will be very different from the future with the God of the Future, and it will not be displayed in these divine eyes."

She walked over to the pillar.

"The God of the Future would like to ask you to close these eyes forever. Then I will replace you and become the pillar supporting this underground."

"…Become my pillar of support. Is this the future that will change after you disappear?"
