Chapter 193
69. The Dead World (1)
These days, monsters out of the standard that are higher than the Demon King continue to appear. If it appears on Earth, it will become a national disaster.
Saltion, who evacuated to the entrance of the Ruin Mountains immediately after the clash between the gods and the gods started, sensed that the fight was completely over. The feeling he had been holding on to his feet whispered to him the calmness of the atmosphere.
“I think it’s real this time… … .”
The entire mountain range was the sphere of influence of the battle to the extent that the aftermath could be felt even from several tens of kilometers away. If it’s quiet like this, it means that one side is finished.
There had been a pause before – he didn’t know, but it was a time when destruction destroyed Cha Shin Hyeon once – Unlike when it resumed soon, it was quiet now even after waiting for a long time.
Saltion flew to the battlefield to confirm.
If the demon had won, he had nothing to do with going to suicide, but he didn’t care.
He knew that he was a created loyalty, and that it was Cha Shin Hyeon who made it, but nevertheless, it was terrifying to be loyal to Cha Shin Hyeon without hesitation.
Saltion, who passed through places that were no longer mountains, but highlands, arrived in the middle of the bombing area.
“Ah!”
The complexion of the magician who had searched the neighborhood with a nervous mind brightened.
There are a total of eight people on the ground.
Seven demons under Naznel and Naznel… It wasn’t Cha Shin Hyeon.
I wasn’t even arrested, but when I saw that I was standing obediently, I knew right away what was going on. He must have been suppressed and succumbed.
“You have won, my lord!”
Saltion, who had landed, exclaimed with joy.
“It’s okay.”
Cha Shin Hyeon gave a faint smile. As I continued to carry it around, I was quite fond of Saltion. The fact that he has a human appearance with his transformation ability is a very big factor.
“It was fine. Have you registered the coordinates of Naznel’s royal castle?”
“of course.”
“Go and get some clothes. as appropriate.”
“Yes?”
Saltion, who tilted his head at the completely unexpected instruction, saw Cha Shin Hyeon once more and understood the order. The line spirit that wrapped around his body like armor was so natural that I couldn’t recognize him for a while.
At the very least, giving her a minor order to bring her clothes meant no other serious problems. With a smile, Saltion replied politely.
“all right. Wait a minute.”
Soon after, Saltion, who remembered his coordinates, disappeared.
Cha Shin Hyeon turned to the remaining demons.
“How far did you say it? Keep talking.”
“Yes, yes.”
In addition to their loyalty to Naznel and fear of the repercussions of running away, the demons who stayed there until the end ended up making a foolish choice when Cha Shin Hyeon was victorious.
Captured with no escape, they were cleanly broken souls and reassembled, making them great informants loyal to Cha Shin Hyeon instead of Naznel.Well, yes, there was nothing important to talk about. As long as all possible enemies have already been eliminated, it is only a matter of resolving anger or personal curiosity.
After losing the last war, all the surviving demons including Naznel fled to this place, and all the demons knew was that they sacrificed the rest of the demons except for the subordinates of Naznel to summon demons.
“Of course, it was only after the summoning was finished that I realized that the purpose of bringing us to the hiding place was a drink summons. I never imagined it in that way.”
“Did it even be a secret from you, your immediate family?”
“Yes. We were informed after the fact that there is an ancient magic that summons demons, and that this is the best place. We were just glad that we didn’t make sacrifices.”
“It’s the magic that calls on God. I’d like to see what the structure is, but… … .”
Cha Shin Hyeon clicked his tongue lightly.
The space under the ground under the feet that was caught in the mood was completely collapsed. The hillside has also been cut down and there have been hundreds of earthquakes, but the thief wants the hideout to be intact.
“It’s okay if you don’t look at it.”
In a place where only waves, waves, soil and stones came out, Cha Shin Hyeon cleared away her regrets. He doesn’t know anything about it anyway.
“Anyway, you mean all the other demons are dead, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Are there any more left?”
“There were a few demons that were not mobilized in the last war, but after losing the war, all the remaining demons were called to their hiding place… No more.”
“It’s over, then.”
All the Demon Kings were famous in the hands of Cha Shin Hyeon.
All demons died, were sacrificed, or became Cha Shin Hyeon’s subordinates.
There were no more demons that could be called the highest level of power. Those who would become real and potential threats were all dead.
It was like ruining a race that was at its peak, but I didn’t feel guilty about it. Isn’t it because the demons ascended to heaven in the first place by stepping on the dragon blood?
‘Those who prosper by the sword will perish by the sword.’
In fact, if you put it that way, you would be the best swordsman in the case. Cha Shin Hyeon filed a lawsuit, recalling the nickname of the martial arts swordsman.
then.
A strange ringing sounded in my mind.
[Can I talk to you?]
Someone carefully and politely knocks on the door of the image world. It wasn’t the first time a divine being had visited, but the feeling came more clearly than before.
Cha Shin Hyeon, recognizing who he was after hearing the voice, nodded his head quietly. One side of the consciousness that was separated in two went deep inside.
Soon, a pure white, infinite space greeted him.
“Hmm.”
After thinking about something for a moment, Cha Shin Hyeon snapped his finger.
Whew!
Suddenly the world started to spin.
A colorful wind blows and colors all around. It suddenly bends here and there like making clay clay, and the black-and-white landscape—which has only white to be exact—is dyed with color.
In less than 30 seconds, a reasonable space was created.
No, it was not ‘plausible’, but sophisticated enough to be indistinguishable from the real space. The scenery in Cha Shin Hyeon’s memory is fully realized.
Cha Shin Hyeon said as she buried herself on the sofa.
“come in.”
“Thank you… Ouch!”
I heard something crashing.
After a while, a white dragon the same size as the mini Elter appeared. One of the five dragons in the beginning, commonly known as the dragon god, standing at the opposite point of the five demons of the beginning.
“Wow, I think I’ll create a separate space in the image again… … . No, of course it’s normal to use it this way, but… … .”
“Anything wrong?”
“It’s not a problem… Basically, I come into the place where I can hear your voice, but I came to think of the empty space I had been to before, and then I accidentally bumped into it. So this house… room? Anyway, I would say that I bumped into the outer wall of this place.”
“It’s nothing. Sit comfortably.”
Cha Shin Hyeon pointed to the sofa opposite.
Baekryong glanced around and further reduced his body size. The body that was at eye level with Cha Shin Hyeon, that is, even though it was reduced, still shrinks more dramatically.
The primordial dragon, which had shrunk to the size of a puppy, flew off the sofa and landed.
While Cha Shin Hyeon was thinking in vain that it would be popular as a pet if the features were a little rounder, Baekryong, perfectly seated and crouched, opened his mouth.
“I think a lot has changed.”
“I thought it was a bit hazy, so I did a bit of redecoration. Our living room looked like this.”
“Right. It is interesting in that it gives a glimpse into the way of life of a human being… … . I am not talking about the scenery of the image world. I was talking about your condition.”
White Dragon said with interest.
“Remember what I said last time? If you gave up your body by your own choice, the opposite would be possible.”
“Of course I remember.”
“Honestly, as I say, is it really possible? I was really curious as to which method to use if possible, but I didn’t know that you would destroy it in such a short time. Somehow, that’s respectful. From being acquired immortals, to killing a god by himself.”
“Thanks for the compliment. It wasn’t my intention for everyone, it just happened like this. There was hard work, and there was luck.”
Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.
“After that, I thought of ‘last time’.”
“Well?”
“Didn’t you come to see me through Elter last time? I think you said that there are limited ways to interfere in the underworld, did you just come this time?”
“Ah, that.”
Baekryong held the accusation.
“It’s not that difficult. Don’t you know that the one who fought you is the god of Dreadville?”
“They say the only real God.”
“Right. Do you see now why I said the last time I was immortal and not a god? There is only one demon of destruction who can truly be called a god. That is why our interference in the underworld was limited.””What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t he the ‘Demon’ of the beginning? We are the ‘dragons’ in the beginning. To put it simply, the god, who is from the Asmodian tribe, considered dragon blood precious and interfered with it. Now that he has been hit, the hindrance is gone. Thanks to you, we can breathe.”
“It’s a little bit more childish than I thought. Is it okay to become a god?”
Cha Shin Hyeon burst out laughing. White Dragon took a deep breath.
“What should I do? It was the will of the world to choose the Demon God of Destruction as the manager to manage Dreadville. It was embarrassing for us, but we had to live with it.”
“Really, what is the will of the world? Even the destroyer keeps talking about his willpower.”
“No one knows exactly what it is. We are nothing more than beings in the world, in a position of passive selection.”
Even after mentioning his will a while ago, Baekryong made an unexpected statement. Cha Shin Hyeon frowned.
“I do not know?”
“Of course, there are hypotheses. For example, in the case of lower-order creatures, don’t they have the direction of action or the instinct even if they don’t have a brain?”
“right.”
“It’s the same with the world. There is a brain somewhere, and it may or may not do high-level thinking, but it is believed that it has a transcendental will to filter out the things that will harm the system and keep the world going.”
“… It’s just animism.”
Beyond the concept that everything has a soul, is it a feeling that there is a soul in one world or one dimension? Is it okay to call it a planetary spirit?
White Dragon tilted his head and continued.
“I don’t know what that is, but at least I am certain that the position of God cannot be climbed by anyone who wants to rise, but must be chosen by the world. The chosen one is tasked with protecting what the world judges to be good and at the same time eliminating what it judges to be harmful.”
“So I turned out to be harmful, and that’s why destruction was wielding the world’s will to kill me?”
“It doesn’t matter what kind of strife arose within the system. Because the rise and fall of a race is ‘natural’. But aren’t you an ‘unnatural’ being from outside the system, that is, from another world? He was even immortal. It can only be felt as a threat for such a being to slaughter the living beings in the system.”
“Did the demons come to Earth first? Millions of people died because of Delite.”
“It’s not about being right or wrong. It’s also true that the demons were wrong. It is inferred that not just me, but the world will judge that way. No, it’s not an analogy, it’s almost certain. The ‘sense’ that my words are right is being conveyed.”
“sense? What feeling?”
When Cha Shin Hyeon asked a question, Baek Ryong paused for a moment before answering.
“I will explain that later. It’s a similar topic, so I think it’s better to start with the main topic. The reason I came to you has to do with the will of the world.”
“Hoo.”
“To be precise, today I have only come to ask you on behalf of the will of the world. It is a kind of messenger conveying the world’s proposals.”
“Is the world to me?”
“exactly.”
Cha Shin Hyeon replied that it was funny.
“Tell me, let’s hear it.”
“I would appreciate it if you could give me a serious answer.”
With a rather hardened face, Baekryong spoke out.
The content that Cha Shin Hyeon did not expect at all.
“Do you intend to become a god of this world?”
