Purify it with the Angelic Rifle! b1: 12...? b1: Number 12! b2: Wait... b1: -Don't come any closer. b2: Purify me... b3: Don't come any closer. b1: No... Page 34 sfx: whipp sfx: thwap sfx: Uoooooo b1: Get out of there, No. 12! b2: It may be insane, but some strength yet remains in the Absolute God! b1: You'll be swallowed up! Page 35 b1: You'll go crazy too! b2: And if that happens, the world will be...! b1: If your "Purification Power" is given to the absolute god via fusion, it will lose all meaning, b2: for God will shortly go insane! b3: Listen to me! b1: When God is purified, it turns into an Idea Sephirah. b2: If I receive it, I too can wield the Purification Power, b3: and we can create and preserve a new world. Page 36 b1: Since it has come to this, there is no other way to save this world! b2: Number 12! Are you listening?! b1: Have you no intention of saving this world...?! b1: ...No... b2: There's still time. b3: Let go of me... b1: While I still have control of myself... b1: I want to become one with you, b2: but... b3: it won't work. b4: I'm already going insane. Page 37 b1: [If you're going to go crazy, then I will too.] b2: No... b3: Purify me and save thsi world... b1: [No.] b2: [This is what I have decided to do.] b1: [You're more important to me] b2: [than saving the world.] b3: ...! sfx: Zrrrrrrrt b1: -Why...? b2: ...Huh? Page 38 b1: Why do you feel this way? b2: You don't even know yourself, do you...? b1: That's why it won't work. b2: It's not possible...! sfx: dread b1: ...?! b1: You do not have a "past" to support you! b2: Therefore you do not hold "you" inside yourself. Page 39 sfx: ooo b1: You would be swallowed up in the stream of my being! b2: Any trace of you would disappear...! b1: [-Why?] Page 40 [Why do I think that when compared to others, my body is somehow different?] Page 41 b1: Well, it looks like your body's doing just fine today! [Different.] b1: How are you feeling? [He's different too.] [Big brother...] [In the whole world, only my big brother] [is the same as I am.] b1: ...Hey, wake up! b2: Let's play! b3: Why are you always sleeping? b1: Let's talk or something. b2: Big brother...! Page 42 b1: Don't do that! b2: We can't wake up your big brother. b3: Why?! b1: Hmm, if you were in the same position we wouldn't want to wake you up, right? b2: Same thing. b3: If you were both awake at the same time, you would be very sick! sfx: snore [Why...?] [Why do we have to take turns being alone...?] Page 43 [Why...] sfx: grab sfx: smile b1: Look, look! b2: Big brother left his next play! b3: This way we can take turns b4: and play a game of chess together! b1: I need to reply... sfx: whisper b1, b2, b3: {mostly incoherent. one or two words like "one of them" can be made out} [I'm so glad.] Page 44 b1: I'm not alone! sfx: pant pant b1: They can't be sustained any longer, b2: unless we want to see both of them die. b3: We have to cut them apart! b4: NO! b1: Number 12... b2: I'm begging you. [After all, we brothers are two people in one being.] b1: ...I don't care if I die. Page 45 b1: Don't cut us b2: [cut me] b3: in two...! b1: Don't struggle. b2: We need to tranquilize him...! b3: Please hold him still! b1: [In the midst of the darkest sleep,] b2: [I saw a dream.] Page 46 sfx: gasp b1: Huh?! b2: Big brother...?! b1: I'm here. sfx: relief b1: Big brother... b1: Which shall die? Page 47 b1: -...! b1: ... b1: I... b2: don't want to die... b1: Then b2: I am slain. Page 48 {blank} Page 49 [Brother...!] b1: We had no choice! b2: As for your brother... b3: Shhh! b4: If we hadn't done it both of you would have died for certain! [No.] Page 50 b1: I don't care if I die. b2: Don't cut us in two...! [No.] b1: I... b2: don't want to die... [I wanted to live.] Page 51 [That's why] [I killed my brother...] b1: -Number 12! b2: I thought you might be here in God's Chamber. b1: Lord Number 1 asked me to quickly gather everyone. b2: He's called an emergency assembly. Page 52 b1: It seems the "Angelic Rifle" is complete. b1: ! b2: Then that means... b1: He plans to shoot God with it shortly. b2: Archangel's desires are coming to fruition... b1: C... b2: Can such a brazen plan really be forgiven?! b3: To shoot God... b4: But he spoke the truth regarding the increases in twisting... b5: ...! b1: There's no way it's true... b2: What Archangel said. b3: Could God be planning to annihilate humanity...? b1: We'll use the "Dabar Fusion". b2: ! b1: Since we do not know God's intent through speech we shall learn it this way. b2: There is no other choice. We will do the Dabar Fusion. Page 53 b1: The "Dabar Fusion"! b2: A forbidden technique fusing God with a human. b3: The God, unable to speak alone, can thereby give us the prophecies or "Dabar". b4: God gains the mouth of he who fuses with it...! b1: However... the records indicate that in the past, in all attempts, b2: not a single person who tried it survived... b1: That's why it came to be forbidden for so long... b2: -... sfx: rustle b1: Number 12. b2: Yes. b1: Will you try it for us? sfx: murmur b1: Yes. b2: Hey, number 12...! b3: We have no idea what'll happen! Page 54 b1: I know. b2: It's fine. b1: Number 12...! b2: Then I'm counting on you. b1: ...I'm sorry. b1: ...Why pick him? b2: He has a large gap in himself. {this one is lower right} b3: Once, he was half of a full being. But he lost it. He was split, and is suffering. Page 55 b1: He wishes to fill that hole within himself with something. b2: Even now... b1: When he was split, only he survived. It seems he feels it is a sin he committed. b1: -So, for the purpose of "fusion", he is ideal...? b2: But... b3: he's still so young. b1: There's also the matter of aptitude. b2: In all my time, I have yet to see anyone else who matches the proper wavelengths so well... b3: -Aside from possibly Archangel himself. b1: This is not the time for hesitation! b2: It is the moment of truth! b3: Archangel plans to become the next "God of Creation"...! sfx: Step Page 56 b1: Sentry Angel? b2: I put him to sleep. b3: The monitors are replaying a loop of fake footage. b1: We have until the Sentry Angel's shift change. b2: Good. sfx: Creeeak sfx: guooooooooon Page 57 sfx: step step step sfx: guoooon b1: {gibberish. likely a made-up language. looks archaic.} sfx: pat Page 58 sfx: Splurt b1: ! sfx: gasp Page 59 sfx: Surprise b1: -... b2: ...?! b1: -... b2: You are... b3: ? [...What?] [Somehow...] [This person is...?] [I must fill] [the hole in my body...] [It's warm.] Page 60 b1: ...! b2: -What...? b1: ...The "Dabar Fusion"? b2: Truly...?! Page 61 sfx: Ooooon [...Anything...] [It doesn't matter what] [To fill the hole in myself] [-Again...!] sfx: Zrrrrt [To one being...] Chapter 14: "The Great Blaze" (2)
