Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Along with that brand-new 'prophecy' appeared in my mind.

In this 'world', a dazzling light flashed from outside the Temple of Flame.

She saw it—! She saw the radiance of the Holy… well, the Demon Sword Gram!

That pitch-black light, as deep as an abyss, was more like the sword light unleashed by a demon king—destroying everything, annihilating everything, and devouring all light and heat—than the heroes of fantasy.

The light beam shot straight into the sky!

Then, after an unknown period of time, the battle outside the palace finally subsided.

The avatar of the great god Odin, "Vodhan," who guarded outside the Temple of Flame, never appeared again.

At this moment, fate seems to have been successfully 'defeated'!

Even the guardian who was destined to lose to Sigmund's son (Odin's incarnation lost to Sigurd, who would believe it if we didn't release the heavenly waters?), couldn't stop that figure.

The white-haired hero crosses the flames powerful enough to burn a person to ashes and enters the magic mirror.

"Night. Friedrich, Czech Republic..." the man introduced himself.

The figure was blurry, its face indistinct, but its tall, strong masculine form was still clearly reflected in Brunhilde's eyes.

That's how they introduced themselves.

Czech Fried—? Siegfried, Siegfried, Siegrude?!

So, this is the dragon slayer destined for us?

However, it soon deviated from the original prophecy in his memory.

What left Brunhilde even more bewildered was the identity of the other party.

He was not the son of the hero Sigmund, but the first wielder of the sword in the tree. However, he was not Sigmund himself, but the seventh son of King Volsung.

It was not the holy sword of a hero, but the demonic sword of a demon king who would destroy everything.

This is another 'Siegfried' who never appeared in the prophecy.

However, although--

The figure, whose face was obscured, exuded a strong masculine aura as he traversed the scorching sea—a figure resolutely walking towards him.

At that moment, Brunhilde's heart began to race, and she still longed to fall in love.

It can’t be wrong…

Although the prophecy was flawed.

But surely I must have misremembered. Perhaps the man in the prophecy was indeed this 'Sigurd'.

The name is fine, and the qualities of bravery, wisdom, and handsomeness are also fine.

And who says that only heroes can save themselves?

A hero won't save himself, but... the man wielding the demon sword will!

The hero did not respond, but that figure crossed the inaccessible realm of magic to come to his eyes and side!

Well, although I can't see his face clearly, I don't know which of Brunhilde's eyes could see that this mosaic-covered man is 'handsome'!

but--?

but……!!

The person who could save me from this hell has truly arrived...

Here it comes!

Even knowing the tragic fate that was destined for them, they still came to save them without hesitation.

At that moment, the figure was so magnificent and dreamlike that Brunhilde couldn't take her eyes off it, and her whole being seemed to be drawn to it.

She tried desperately to see the other person's face, but all she could feel was the world in front of her getting further and further away, becoming more and more blurry.

"...!!"

Demon King? No, this is... my hero...

The next moment, consciousness awoke from sleep.

Suddenly, he realized that nothing had changed; he was still all alone in the temple on the scorching Mars.

A look of bewilderment and a hollow, almost tearful sadness crossed the Valkyrie Brunhilde's exquisitely beautiful face: "A dream?"

But why is it so—real?

Which prophecy is correct?

Chapter 188 Even if it means giving up all other opportunities for happiness, I will still choose you.

Did she really remember it wrong?

It was because he was unwilling to accept that tragic fate that he imagined another world line that never existed.

A timeline featuring a chosen one named 'Night, Czech Fred', who wields a sword within a tree.

Is a true hero about to be born to save her?

But if all of this is fake, why was I able to fall asleep in such a terrible environment, and even have such a long and vivid dream!

It was like foreseeing the future... Was it really a dream?

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world. If Sigourney or Brunhilde were to have prophetic dreams, it would be entirely expected.

There is another person, a female protagonist who also has a deep connection due to the influence of the Nibelungenlied epic (fate), but who should not have appeared so early, and she also begins to fall into a beautiful dream.

Perhaps it's a possible universe that shortens time... or perhaps the timeline of the mythological world is actually more chaotic than normal human history.

A girl was born more than a decade earlier; her name was Krimshild.

She was originally supposed to be the heroine born in accordance with the next heroic era, 'Sigurd'.

She is the protagonist of a revenge story who originally had countless opportunities to choose, almost all of which would have led to happiness, but each time she chose a path that inevitably led to misfortune and even caused misfortune to countless people.

Princess Krimhild, an ever-unrecognized alternative caught between the hero and the Valkyrie Brunhild.

In the world of Moon, Siegfried's story is completely separated, and Siegfried and Siegfried become two completely different people.

Sigurd in The Song of the Nibelungs is the same person throughout the entire story, told in three different timelines.

In any story, the dragon-slaying hero would never fall in love with this girl first.

She admired Siegfried, the legendary hero who slew the dragon, her brother's best friend, and a man among men.

When Siegfried lost his memory, he also fell in love with the princess at first sight.

But in the end, she was just a substitute that the other person fell in love with after losing his memory.

Even so—even if her husband no longer loved her after remembering everything, even if she always felt that she was only a wife in name, even if the person she loved went to die for her without a word, even if she never thought that there would be a woman who would sacrifice the rest of her life to avenge her.

But as long as the hero can say "I love you" at the end, she is willing to be comforted on the spot, even if it means dying... A girl who loves love deeply.

She should not have been born yet at this time, or if she was, she would be a child.

But now she appears in this possible universe at the tender age of a teenager, an age even old enough to participate in the story of a dragon-slaying hero.

Even though that epic story is about to be brought forward by more than a decade, the original cast of characters remains unchanged, with not a single one missing.

At this moment, Krimshild had the same distant dream;

In her dream, she was a princess who should have remained innocent and carefree, but she encountered the hero she should never have met in her life, the dragon slayer... Siegfried.

Even though she was able to marry the dragon-slaying hero with the help of her father and brother, on their wedding day—which was also the day Brunhilde and her brother got married at the same time—he regained his memory.

She eventually discovers that the husband she loves still deeply loves the Valkyrie Brunhilde.

Even so—even so… Krimhild still hoped that perhaps after marriage, she could use her love to warm the hero's heart and make him change his mind.

But in the end, she lost that opportunity forever.

Her brother, because of Brunhilde's love, because of the dragon-slaying hero's excellence, and for various other reasons, ultimately killed her beloved husband.

After learning that her husband's death was due to her brother tricking her into revealing her husband's only weakness under the pretext of better protecting Siegfried, she discovered the truth.

Even though the person who killed him was his own brother, Krimhild was still determined to avenge him.

The flames of hatred burn fiercely!

In her despair and rage, she finally relied on the power of Attila, who was also a woman, to fight her way back to the capital and personally avenge her husband's death, but in doing so, she also lost her last remaining family member.

However—in this prophetic dream, she ultimately gained nothing.

After avenging his great enemy, he felt an immense emptiness.

It remains unclear whether her husband approves of this revenge or whether he will respond to it.

But at this moment...

In the dream, the husband, whose face, figure, and name were all blurry, suddenly gained a physical form at a certain moment.

The future has been changed!

The husband who should have died at the hands of her brother did not die. She, who should have been under the surveillance of her brother and father after her husband's death, and trapped alone in a castle-like prison, found that reliable and reassuring figure appearing before her again.

This time—the hero is no longer foolish, no longer refuses or runs away from her love. He is not Brunhilde's hero, but the hero who stands before her, who belongs only to her!

It was clearly love that was not acknowledged.

Krimhild stared in astonishment at the figure that appeared before her, holding a sword and standing protectively in front of her.

"You? Why?" Krimhild asked, bewildered.

"A hero wouldn't desert his post..."

Krimshild blushed: "What...like this...like this..."

She realized that the other party had come specifically to save her.

But even in the very beginning of the story, she had never felt any warmth or care; it was a mere wishful thinking that made her unsure if she was just being delusional.

？ ？ ？: "I wish to wield my sword for someone, even if it means becoming an enemy of a former friend, and then, for that purpose, I would not mind dying."

Krimshildr: "Is such a wish necessary!? No, no, I can't admit it! That kind of...!"

Krimshildr: "I misunderstood you, and you misunderstood me too."
