69. The Dead World (2)
“… What is this again?”
Cha Shin Hyeon, who was speechless for a moment, muttered in bewilderment.
“You want me to become the god of Dreadville? Or have I misunderstood?”
“You understand.”
“I killed the former god? Did the world guy forget that in less than 30 minutes?”
“It must be so.”
White Dragon laughed bitterly.
“But it’s not a very strange proposition if we exclude the emotions we feel and are completely based on the logic of nature. Didn’t you break the god chosen by the world, the being you judged most fit to manage the world? From the point of view of the world, I have no choice but to judge you as an irresistible enemy.”
“I’ve tried all sorts of things to classify myself as a dangerous person, but I don’t think I can win no matter what, so I’m conciliatory at all?”
“To sum it up, that’s it. No matter what you have done before, if you, who is stronger than destruction, becomes a god, it is a judgment that the system of Dreadville will not be more stable. There is no way God can destroy his world.”
“I want.”
Cha Shin Hyeon let out a low laugh.
Of course, from the moment the offer was received, no matter what the reason was, the answer was already decided.
“It is a refusal.”
Without a single thought, Cha Shin Hyeon just cut the answer. Without a change in his complexion, the original dragon asked.
“Can you tell me why?”
“Is there any reason? Because I don’t want to be a god. That’s it.”
If he really wanted to be a god, he wouldn’t even come over to Dread Bill. If you just sit still and die on Earth, you’ll be fine.
The journey up to now after crossing the dimension was nothing more than a struggle for a man who did not want to become a god. It is absurd to suggest that he would not become a god to such a person.
“And even if it is necessary to become a god, the god here is a specification. I’m not from here, and I have no attachment to Dreadville, but to be the administrator of a world without a single human being. It’s a meaningless service.”
“Well, I thought you would.”
Baekryong calmly shook his head. Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.
“How did you react so badly?”
“It was the answer I was expecting. You didn’t come to Dreadville with any ambition, did you? In addition to the meaning of condemning the Demon King, he only came to repair the body that was damaged in the process. If he had said that he would take over the next throne in a snap just because he defeated a god, he would not have understood.”
“It’s good to know. Anyway, I’m not interested in gods, so that’s how you know.”
Having said that, Cha Shin Hyeon tilted her head.
“But what if I refuse? Will God’s seat be vacant?”
“It is not. The existence of God is absolutely necessary for the world to function properly. Even the most well-made machinery needs to be lubricated from time to time.”
White Dragon lightly shook his head.
“The current world has temporarily become a ‘world where God is dead’… … . The will of the world will immediately seek the next god. Since you refused, the turn will go to the next batter.”
“Take the next one. wait?”What did destruction say? It was said that God is the chosen manager of the world and the one who wields the will of the world.
But look at the white dragon.
He was said to have come to deliver a message on behalf of the world, and it was said that he had no idea what the will of the world was. He said what he meant when he heard it, now that I think about it.
“Are you the next hitter?”
“How did it happen?”
When Cha Shin Hyeon asked for confirmation, Baek Ryong admitted with a bewildered expression.
“Immortals can make it easy to give protection to their own people, but they have to take that much risk to become stronger or incarnate. It’s not just giving you strength, it’s letting go of a part of your being.”
“If I could have done it whenever I was bored, the world would have changed.”
“By the way, don’t you have a record of being defeated by all other demons besides destruction? Thanks to them, their strength has weakened. We are quite different from the dragons of the beginning. Of course, it will recover with time, but… … .”
“Not right now?”
“Right. In an urgent time when we need to quickly decide on the next scene, all the demons of the beginning are not cool, so the opportunity came naturally. For me, the strongest among us. I came to you after being temporarily appointed by God.”
“And now that I have refused, the temporary will fall.”
“It’s all thanks to you. Thank you.”
Baekryong got up from the sofa and bowed his head politely. His attitude and voice were full of sincere gratitude. Although he was small, he felt a little cheesy.
Cha Shin Hyeon asked with a simple, moderately polite return.
“It happened because I was doing it, and I’m thankful for it. Congratulations on becoming a god. Well, that’s something to celebrate, right?”
“Actually, the responsibility is as great as the authority, so it’s not something you should unconditionally like. But for now, it’s something I’m willing to take on, so I’ll be grateful for the congratulations.”
White Dragon smiled brightly.
“Isn’t this a situation where the dragon blood was driven almost to the brink of extinction by the demons? Seeing that it was us, wouldn’t it have been nothing? At a time like this, the demons retreated and I became a god, so I can give a little help to poor children.”
“That’s a good thing. Personally, I like dragon blood more than demons. At least because it’s a race where reason precedes it. It would be pitiful if they went extinct like this.”
“Even if it doesn’t provide groundbreaking help, the dragon blood will be able to regain its former sanctuary someday as the demons have no longer interfered with it. Come to think of it, I think this was possible because you accepted the children who passed over to Earth.”
In fact, he intended to take on the role of a breakwater against the demons, but Cha Shin Hyeon did not spoil the friendly atmosphere by daring to bring out the hidden truth.
“If you keep trying to find things to be grateful for, there is no end to it. Anyway, you too are going to become a new god, and it seems that you have the will to revive the dragon blood again, so please do your best.”
Around that time, the consciousness of the other side of the separated mind, who was looking at the real world rather than the imaginary world, recognized the arrival of Saltion.
“The clothes are here.”
“Well?”
“It sounds like it’s time to go take a break. After all the important things have been said, let’s talk later. It’s hard because we fight so sickly today.”
Cha Shin Hyeon concluded his speech with a soft congratulatory address.
“The kids will be sent right away.”
*
Cha Shin Hyeon, who returned to Last, the fortress city in the southernmost part of Dreadville with the demons, immediately summoned the Elther and the dragons.
The instructions they received were both unbelievable and thrilling from their point of view.
The summoning of all dragon blood living in the dungeon.
The situation was completely different from when dragons were summoned to make up for the lack of power. Not to fight, but to come back to Dreadville to live.
In the meantime, he worked hard to create magic barriers, fortresses, and villages. Although it was a forced relocation order that was dropped in the yard that took several months to settle down, there was not a single bloody blood that was annoying.
They are forced to leave their hometown to live. Is there any way you wouldn’t like to go back to your hometown?
And to be honest, the high-risk dungeons they lived in were far from a livable paradise. Can hemolysis not distinguish between a good environment and a bad environment? There was nowhere else to go, so I just lived there.
Cha Shin Hyeon generously gave me five days. Thanks to this, the dragon blood, who took everything they needed without rushing, grabbed the edge, emptied the dungeon all at once and headed over to Dreadville.
Thousands of dragon blood under the guidance of the dragons passed the world’s edge and arrived at the Last. Of course, the final destination Cha Shin Hyeon planned is not this kind of village. This is just a place you go through for the last inspection.
The place where the dragon blood would live was under the direct control of Delite.
It can be said that it is the virtue of demons that one’s own is better than giving to others. The direct control of Delite was, of course, the yolk rather than the land split by alien demons. It was also the place where Cha Shin Hyeon stayed the longest, so the fact that the demons were cleaned also contributed.
However, it was quite far from this place, the southern end of the territory, and the direct control in the center of the territory. You can’t even take thousands of people to space. Inevitably, I had to go through the area where other demons live.
Of course, it wasn’t much of a problem. Even Elter, the 21 dragons led the dragon blood, and the 21 demon spirits under Cha Shin Hyeon were also scheduled to accompany them for the time being. At the moment when both the Demon King and the Demon Spirit were dead, they were the strongest force that other demons dared to break.
“Really… … .”
The dragon bloodstained outside the fortress wall, ready to depart. Dragons who keep giving instructions to see if there is anything missing. Demons who have to follow orders, but are isolated because they are still awkward.
Looking at the scene from the top of the wall, Elter opened her mouth with a slightly watery voice.
“I don’t know what to say to you to thank you. I dreamed of the rebirth of the race, but that day would come so soon. I thought I would lead everyone back to Dreadville.”
“It hasn’t been resurrected yet, man. It just laid the foundation for it.”
“Whatever happened. Isn’t it all a gift from you?”Although there was a bit of friction, it was Cha Shin Hyeon who laid the foundation for the people who allowed dragon blood to live in the dungeon, who killed all the demon kings and wiped out all the demons, and laid the foundation for living in Dreadville again.
More than any other dragon blood, Cha Shin Hyeon bestowed great favor on the dragon blood. Elter said seriously.
“Your name will be remembered forever. Our ancestors are the five dragons of the beginning, but you are like our mid-heungjo. I will write it down in a history that will never be erased so that future descendants will know your name.”
“No, to what extent? It’s burdensome.”
In the meantime, there was a momentum to erect a statue of Cha Shin Hyeon in every village where the dragon blood lived. Cha Shin Hyeon responded with a shaky response, but Elter’s attitude is so serious that he doesn’t seem to hear any objections.
Suddenly, Elter asked a question.
“However… Are you really okay? Even if we leave the dungeon.”
“Because it’s okay. There are no demons to attack now. There’s no reason for you to keep it.”
“Of course, both the Demon King and the Demon Spirit are dead, but… Thousands of advanced demons must still be left in Dreadville. For humans, even high-level demons are dangerous enough.”
“Even if there are thousands of people left, who is hard enough to come all the way to the southern tip of the continent? He doesn’t have a master to give orders, and he can’t move through space. They must be busy fighting amongst themselves for power.”
If it is easily diagrammed and the demon king is the king and the devil is the lord, now the king and the lords have evaporated at once. There is no absolute strong person who can correct the order. Perhaps in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the entire demon society will be split into hundreds or thousands of pieces that seem cute.
“You too be careful. The power at the top is overwhelming, but if you go down below that, there aren’t enough numbers. Take advantage of this opportunity and do your best. Until then, it’s not something I’d be concerned about.”
“okay. We’ve done this up to this point, and the rest is up to us.”
Elter nodded his head with a grim expression. Cha Shin Hyeon grinned and waved his hand.
“Stop it. I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again.”
“If you come, you are always welcome. Ummm, do you want to welcome me too?”
“I am not kicked out. Only if you don’t see it in the eyes of others. haha.”“I’m going to have to put on the invisibility.”
After exchanging light jokes, the two finally said goodbye.
“May good fortune be always on your way.”
“Have a good life, you too.”
Eventually, El Ter, who turned her body, descends gracefully below the wall. The beautifully shining pure white dragon roared loudly.
“depart!”
“Come on, let’s start!”
The other dragons shouted at Elther’s words.
The dragon blood, which formed a long line, began to move toward the north. A world where tens of millions of demons still live. They are only a very small number and they will have to fight for a long time in the future, but their expressions of hope were bright.
“… … .”
Standing alone on the wall, Cha Shin Hyeon watched the march of the dragon blood for a long time.
He wondered if he would hold his seat until ‘until they disappear beyond the horizon’ in a quaint way, but his eyesight is so good that he keeps seeing it. So I stopped when I was a few kilometers away.
“Let’s leave soon, too.”
“Yes!”
In fact, Cha Shin Hyeon was not the only one left. The loyal Saltion succeeded in staying with Cha Shin Hyeon by appealing to his transformation ability.
Cha Shin Hyeon, who listens well and knows that it is very comfortable to have a subordinate who is smart and strong, after a little thought, he got Saltion. There is no one on Earth who has the ability to see through transformation, so there will be no problem.
Pot!
Even Saltion was put in the range and Cha Shin Hyeon opened up the space.
After a while, they were at the end of the world, the southernmost point of the continent that had descended further south from Last.
There was a black hole I had not seen in a long time right nearby. A dimensional gap with its mouth wide open in the air. A door that leads to Earth, to be more precise, a dungeon.
“Wait a minute.”
“all right.”
After telling Saltion to wait, Cha Shin Hyeon immediately threw herself into the hole.
Whoa!
Black darkness overshadowed him in an instant.
Originally, here, the dimensional rift is not a place to stay for a long time, nor can it stay for a long time. Literally a gap. Because it’s just a void between dimensions.
But Cha Shin Hyeon was able to stand still in the dark by her own will. Neither the dreadvils nor the dungeons were in the middle, and he purposely stopped.
‘It wasn’t that I felt wrong back then.’
Cha Shin Hyeon gave a faint smile.
He was reborn and reconstructed from the abyss, and he heard the whispers of the abyss.
‘You can quit, if it’s me.’
Anymore.
There is no need for a passage between the two worlds.
