Chapter 39 - Ch 39 (Who is the story's hero ?)

...While everyone is in Mr. Stark's workshop, Sherlock looks on from afar, while Stark and Roger are precisely determining the size and shape of the gate. Then Natasha and Rogers arrive and sit down while Stark and Roger work. Natasha looks at Sherlock and says: So where did you come from? Sherlock sits down and says: From a distant place full of death and hatred, a place you don't know. Natasha, with her red hair and slender body, speaks and says: I have seen death with my own eyes more than once as well. Sherlock looks at her and curiosity appears on him to know her story, while she speaks, saying: My mother died and my father died when I was young, and I was taken, modified, and trained in harsh training in an unknown organization. After that, I did many missions. I worked for that organization for years until I got out from under their hands a not-so-distant conceptual time ago. Rogers speaks and says: I lost my brother and my wife, and my grandfather died in my arms. We are all like you, Sherlock. Each one of us has a story they lived through with all its good and bad. Sherlock sighs and says: I feel a little better, thank you for sharing your story with me. [Every person, every entity has their own story. I am not the hero of the story; we are all heroes of our own stories. No one is special. I narrate my story myself, and so do they. Whoever thinks they are special is a selfish person who sees themselves above others. We are all equal. Every person has their own life and people who love them and worry about them. Every person writes their story with their own pen, and the story differs according to the quality of the handwriting. Every person loves, hates, and lives. Life is what gives hope, and I want to be the Lord of Hope]..

..Sherlock smiles a smile that shows his front teeth as if he has realized something that made him realize the extent of his insignificance before the eternal conceptual existence that has no end and no beginning. Then Sherlock says: I see that we must... Suddenly, Stark speaks and says: We've done it. We've discovered the best possible design for the teleportation gate. Stark looks at everyone and says: Where is Thor? And in one of the rooms, Thor wakes up and looks around [Where am I? I feel my body is heavy, did I drink too much? It seems that this being whose age exceeds tens of thousands of years took me to the dream world quickly]. Thor smiles and moves his body on the bed, then falls to the ground, stands up, and leaves the room heading towards the team's location. While Sherlock is standing in a place near Thor's hammer, which he left behind when Rogers and Natasha carried him [It looks attractive. Why don't I try to pick it up?] Then Sherlock grabs the hammer. Suddenly, a strange authority appears, an indescribable symbol consisting of three shapes resembling headless coiled serpents and a dragon's head opening its mouth in the center with a celestial being flying in the evening, while small stars shine golden, as if the Seer Path's symbol had golden energy enter it and emerge from the golden mist resulting from secondary effects. Suddenly, Sherlock lifts the hammer. While Stark speaks and says: Okay, we just need to place that golden point in the center of the gate to give it the infinite energy sufficient for folding between worlds to... Suddenly, everyone stops speaking as they look at Sherlock in shock. Then Sherlock says: What's wrong with you? Is there something? Roger smiles, showing astonishment and admiration, while Thor arrives, saying: Where is my hammer? It didn't come when I raised my hand. Thor stands shocked, looking at Sherlock, and says: What the hell, by Odin's father! Thor smiles while Sherlock gives Thor the hammer. Then Thor says to himself [What just happened by Odin's father? For anyone to lift the hammer, they must possess nobility, sacrifice, and doing anything for the sake of the world's good even if it means killing those they love. I don't know how he lifted it. Usually, I can feel those who are worthy of lifting it from their aura alone, but I don't feel any aura of worthiness from him!] Thor smiles in Sherlock's face and says: Thanks for the hammer, and now what's the plan?..

..Everyone tries to ignore what happened, and Stark continues, saying: Okay then, and now the plan is as follows: As soon as we enter the gate located in the Grand Tavern, we will be automatically scattered to different places in the Hornasis Mountains. We must then explore the places and climb to the top of the mountain. Then Stark takes out 6 advanced devices resembling earpieces and continues, saying: These devices allow us to communicate with each other, because even though most or all of us can use telepathy to communicate with each other, caution is necessary. Roger speaks and says: Okay then, let's go. After a few minutes, everyone goes out to the Grand Tavern, where there are many workers and robots manufactured by Stark's company for tools and advanced technology. Then Roger activates the gate and sets the required coordinates. Suddenly, the golden blood point shines with a bright light for several seconds, illuminating the entire place. Suddenly, the gate opens. Then Rogers speaks and says: Okay then, who wants to go first? Then Natasha says: I will go first. Roger is surprised and says: I will go after her. Suddenly, Natasha jumps into the gate and speaks through the earpiece-like device that everything is fine. Then Roger enters, and the rest follow him into the gate..

..And somewhere else entirely, in the world of endless soldiers located in the Vindora Temple, Vin dies many times, and the number of his deaths appears in the sky in large numbers (You have died 9,999,999,999 times). Every time Vin tries to kill a soldier, another comes from behind and stabs him, causing him to die again. Signs of fear appear on Vin, decreasing each time he dies [How will I get out of this hell?] Then the Alfi speaks from outside, saying: You just have to destroy the giant crystal located somewhere in this infinite world. All this training is for determination and strengthening your body. Vin grits his teeth [I must become stronger so I can be of use to Lord Fool. He is great and very powerful]. Vin rushes towards the soldiers, and with his physical strength and through the Ruler's Eye, he tries to predict and monitor the soldiers' movements before they happen, and rushes with his spiritual body's strength and screams as he pierces his hand through the soldiers, blood splattering on his face, saying: For you, Sherlock, I will do everything..

..The team of defenders scatters everywhere near the Hornasis Mountains, and also Sherlock. While the gate is still open, a high light emerges in the sky. Then Rogers says in the communication devices: Okay everyone, advance to the top of the mountain, and when we all reach the top, we must be careful. We don't know what's there. Everyone replies saying: Understood, acknowledged. While Sherlock rushes through the place very quickly and uses the Wings of Chaos with their legendary violet aura, and rushes upwards at blinding speeds, while the mountains are covered with snow. While Sherlock rushes upwards, suddenly a huge black hand made of snow appears and throws something like a ball at Sherlock's face. Before the ball arrives, everyone speaks through the earpieces, saying: There are entities throwing colorless dreams at us from the sleepers existing in the same existence as the gods. Suddenly, the ball touches Sherlock's face, and then Sherlock enters that nameless ball, while Stark, Rogers, Roger, and Natasha enter other colorless dreams. Inside the nameless, colorless world, where Sherlock sees himself without any power, where the ground is made of strange symbols and letters as if it's a ground composed of infinite laws and concepts, while before him is an open door emitting an endless golden light, while the place he is in is black, indescribable blackness. Sherlock involuntarily feels something approaching him with infinite power running behind him! Sherlock looks behind him and sees a black entity, with a faint small light at its head appearing from very far away, and its mouth filled with countless teeth. Then Sherlock runs quickly towards the golden door, while the entity emits a terrifying sound mixed with a very foul smell, and he hears its loud footsteps. Sherlock tries to run quickly and use the Wings of Chaos, but they don't activate. So Sherlock runs quickly and at his maximum speed towards the golden door, while feeling extreme tiredness with his indescribable heartbeat, a very fast pulse with an audible sound. Sherlock gets very close to the door, while the beast approaches him, so close that it's about to grab him. Suddenly, the door closes, so Sherlock quickly opens it and jumps inside, while the beast breaks the door..

..Suddenly, Sherlock sees himself falling from the sky very quickly towards the ground [What is happening by the One Perfect Creator!] Suddenly, everything around him changes, and he sees himself sitting in some house at night, while a family considers him part of them. Then Sherlock sees his (unreal) father saying: Son Sam, if your grandmother needs anything, don't forget to do it, okay? Then Sherlock speaks and says: Okay. Sherlock tries to calm down a little, while the grandmother watches TV. Sherlock sighs, puts his hand on his head, and says to himself [Existence is very strange. You can never determine your real mother or father. You can't determine your identity. You can't determine or know your family. Everything is strange. My parents gave birth to me on Earth. Here, too, this family 100% sees it as they gave birth to me just as they gave birth to me. So who am I? Am I Sho? Am I the Fool? Am I Nihael? Am I Sherlock? Am I Sam? In the end, I am just me, and anything I lose isn't much; it will just be myself]. Then the grandmother looks at him and says: Sam, what's wrong? Are you okay? Why are you putting your hand on your heart?..

..Sherlock tenses a little and says: I'm fine, I just feel a little cold. Then the grandmother speaks and says: Okay, son. Then the grandmother takes out 100 coins and says: Take this and bring me medicine from one of the pharmacies downstairs. It's called the Dead's Medicine. And don't be late, okay? Time passes quickly, and it's now 11 PM. Then Sherlock takes the money and says: Okay, Grandma. Sherlock opens the door and goes down. While descending the stairs, he feels a very strange feeling, a feeling that everything around you is real and unreal at the same time, as if it's a dream, but you have consciousness within it. You feel that the world itself is more precise than reality but lacks the feeling of it. Sherlock goes down from the building to see the night and the streetlights, while a beautiful garden is in front of him on the opposite side. Sherlock moves and stands at the head of the street and looks around to see a pharmacy on the left. While heading towards it [Only hope is my weapon in this nihilistic world, and in this strange place to which I do not belong. I must escape from here as I did before in other dreams]. While heading to the pharmacy, Sherlock suddenly feels hungry and sees a grocery store on the left side near the pharmacy [No problem if I bring some food; in the end, I don't think she would mind at all]. Sherlock goes and enters the very large grocery store, which has an external sign saying (Open)..

..Then Sherlock enters the store and looks at the countless foods, while looking at the store he is very surprised [I can't see the end of this store; it extends to infinity. This phenomenon resembles greatly when the temple was a passage connecting two worlds, and each of those worlds was infinite like the world of Vindora]. Sherlock sees a very large bag of chips priced at 10 coins. Then Sherlock takes the bag of chips and pays for it to the man who never speaks, and leaves the store. While another elderly woman enters inside and looks at Sherlock, appearing angry. While walking towards the pharmacy, Sherlock says to himself [I no longer feel as afraid as before; it's now become like something semi-normal that has happened to me many times]. Those spicy chips are delicious. Sherlock looks at the contents of the bag to see that it's made of pepper called Death Pepper, which embodies the concept of death. Sherlock is surprised [A bag of chips embodying the concept of death! Would toothpaste here embody the concept of purification or purity then! Despite that power in those worlds, no one attacks each other except psychologically, not spiritually, and I've almost gotten used to this]. Sherlock feels severe burning in his stomach, as if there's a black hole devouring him from the inside [This is not good. I need to go to the bathroom, but where? It's good that the golden mist and its secondary effects give me the ability to resist things that embody concepts]. Sherlock arrives at the pharmacy and enters inside. Then he throws the bag of chips into the nearby trash can and looks at the nurse, his pupils dilating and he is struck dumb with shock, saying: M... Mom! Then the lady, with a few tears coming from her eyes, says: Come to my embrace, come. Then Sherlock cannot bear it, suddenly feeling she is real because she remembered him, or at least that's what he thought. He runs towards her like a small child wanting his mother with tears in his eyes, and embraces her. The lady strokes his head, and with her tears she says: I missed you so much, my son Sho. Sherlock breaks down and says: It's really you, but how? Then the lady speaks and says: It doesn't matter how; what matters is that you've returned to me again. Sherlock embraces her warmly. While the woman who was in the grocery store enters the pharmacy without a sound. Then Sherlock says to his mother: I missed you so much. I don't know how I found you in this place, but we will get out of here, I promise. She replies, saying: There's never an exit here. Suddenly, the elderly woman stabs Sherlock in his heart with a huge sword, revealing that she is the grandmother who was waiting for the medicine! While Sherlock doesn't understand what happened, the lady speaks and says: Didn't I tell you to come back quickly?..

..You were gone too long. Boys who don't listen must be killed and replaced with others. You are useless! Sherlock becomes angry while the old woman stabs him many times. The woman Sherlock thought was his mother looks and laughs, saying: The fool thought I was his mother. Suddenly, the golden mist appears and illuminates the place. Suddenly, Sherlock's heart returns as it was, and all the stab wounds disappear. Then Sherlock stands shocked [How did this happen? How did an ability activate in this world!] Suddenly, the Fool replies to him, saying: The golden mist is not an ability; it is an existential state you are in and own, and it is yours and part of you. The grandmother and the lady are very surprised. Then Sherlock becomes angry and punches the old woman hard in the face, making her nose bleed. Then the old woman says fearfully: What are you trying to do, my grandson Sam? Are you trying to kill me, son? As Sherlock advances towards her, the old woman feels more and more fear. Suddenly, the old woman cries out of fear. Then Sherlock leaves the pharmacy without doing anything to the old woman, and looks at the woman resembling his mother and says with a smile: Even though you won't understand my words and won't know how much I love my mother, who resembles you, I was happy to see someone who looks like you, my mother, before me and to embrace you. Sadness appears on Sherlock's face as he turns and continues moving towards the garden..

..[Everything is not worth exhausting myself over. It seems that with every step I learn something new. The immortal and the mortal are one, as each of them is perishable. The immortal: there exists someone with the ability to erase immortals, so they will die. The mortal's lifespan ends and they die. The immortal is not special; they are subject to annihilation by an entity like them. So all conflicts between perishable entities have no benefit or purpose except a personal purpose, not a higher purpose. It's not even worth taking revenge on that old woman. The only thing I see as important in all this existence of mine is one thing: to try to reach the highest higher purpose that never dies, the Absolute Living, the Complete Creator. This is whom I take as my God. The One Omnipotent God whom I hope will help me on this journey]. Sherlock smiles slightly and wipes the tears from his eyes and says: Okay then, let's try to get out of here..
