After seeing the heavens being immersed in fire for the last time, Daeseong crossed the gate opened in the sky and returned to the ‘world of rest’.
Kwaaaaaa-!
Inside the abdomen of the stone statue that served as the ‘passage’, the flames of destruction that had engulfed heaven and earth were rising into a whirlwind pillar.
“Close the door!”
Melcanon shouted urgently just before the fire whirlwind extended to the ‘World of Rest’.
Rattling-!
The statue’s stomach closed in an instant. The enormous heat and noise caused by the fire whirlwind stopped as if it had never happened before.
“Phew… that was close.”
Melcanon, who narrowly prevented the crisis, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Slap-.
The sound of stepping on a puddle could be heard from under Daesung’s feet, who stood there dazedly.
I looked to see what was happening, and it wasn’t a puddle of water, but a puddle of blood.
This is probably
“the guy who flew this way earlier…”
“Krrrrr-.”
At this time, the annihilating dragon came to Daeseong’s side, making a low roar.
A faint bloody smell emanated from the molars covered in flesh.
However, Daeseong spoke without hesitation, stroking the annihilating dragon’s head.
“It looks like you were the one who killed Einrich or something. Good job. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Krrrr-.”
The annihilator dragon closed its eyes and gently shook its head as if to say it was okay.
Melcanon came closer and asked while examining Daesung’s body with his eyes.
“You’re back. “Get treatment quickly.”
Melcanon, who was about to continue speaking, was suddenly startled by his shoulders shaking.
No matter how much I looked at the monarch’s body, I couldn’t see any wounds other than minor stab wounds.
It looks as if a ‘small fight’ has ended.
However, the monarch’s encounter just now was not small, much less a ‘fight’. It was a ‘war’ against one world.
However, not only did he come out victorious there, but he only suffered minor injuries…
‘As expected, he is a person whose limits are difficult to estimate. ‘You can’t stop me.’
Melcanon, who had no choice but to give in to the endless limitations of the monarch, simply smiled.
Now might be the time to say something other than ‘worry’.
“I sincerely congratulate you on your victory. “Our monarch.”
***
Earlier, when we were engaged in a frantic battle with the apostles, the system relayed the territory’s situation in real time.
It is said that the status of the territory has risen as new races have joined.
Daesung headed straight to New Mexico as soon as he left the ‘world of rest’ to find out what that meant.
And
“…what a minister.”
The moment he saw the scene happening around New Mexico, Daesung muttered.
Apparently, when I left the territory for the last time, there were all kinds of different races gathered together that I had never seen before.
The most notable race among them was the elves. They were helping the people by mobilizing systematic military power and excellent magic.
Huh-!
The annihilating dragon carrying Daeseong on its back folded its wings and landed on the ground.
“The savior of the East has come!”
“ah! That person… Oooh!”
“…oh my god. “You can really tame a dragon, a black dragon.”
A majesty that shines brightly as if wearing a halo!
Those in the territory gathered around Daeseong and the annihilating dragon.
People literally stretched their hands upward as if they were welcoming the savior, and other races, including elves, exclaimed in awe.
This race, which had not yet shaken off its fear of the ‘dragon race’, was hasty in approaching Daeseong and the annihilating dragon.
The evil relationship with the ‘dragon race’ that is deeply imprinted in their instincts is so long and enduring that it cannot be compared to what humans feel.
but.
Jeopuk-.
There was one person who shook off that bad relationship and fear and took a step forward on behalf of the tribe.
“You are ‘Han Dae-seong’, the lord of this place.”
It was Nevia, the queen of the elves.
Daesung, who had not yet completely shaken off his wariness toward other races, met Nevia’s gaze with a cold gaze.
Nevia swallowed hard and had to desperately try to keep the smile on her lips from fading.
‘Fafnir… No, Fafnir can’t even show you a business card.’
It was by no means an exaggerated rumor that a single human had eliminated the rulers of five higher dimensions.
If he had a greedy and vicious personality like Fafnir and invaded other dimensions -.
‘Let’s not think about it.’
It’s a dizzying feeling that I don’t even want to imagine.
Nevia, who had a formidable spirit, could feel it clearly.
Daesung is on guard against them.
Nevia said, bowing her head as politely as possible.
“It’s my first time meeting you. “My name is Nevia, queen of the Fairy Kingdom and representative of the ‘Dimension Union.’”
“Dimension Union?”
“It means the union of species that have chosen to coexist with humanity.”
“It’s symbiosis….”
“Of course, I know very well that you don’t trust us yet.”
Daesung’s silence showed that what he said was not wrong.
Even if they appear friendly on the outside, no one knows what kind of tricks they may be planning behind the scenes.
Nevia had to give Daesung as much appeal as possible so as not to make him feel uncomfortable.
“But I promise you. “We will do our best on the side of humanity so that we can gain your trust in a short period of time.”
Nebia’s persuasion did not stop there. A long story followed.
The story of how the ‘monster alliance’ that invaded the territory while Daeseong was away was destroyed.
And even at this very moment, members of the ‘Dimensional Union’ all over the world are helping people.
Hearing those words, Daesung also gradually cleared away the doubts that had been hanging in his mind.
“So, to sum it up, I want to stay on Earth.”
“…I’m not forcing it with the word ‘symbiosis.’”
dump!
Nebia’s knees, which had been shaking from earlier, finally touched the ground.
She knelt down in front of Daesung of her own volition.
That moment.
The group of heterogeneous people who saw the scene let out a silent scream.
“…!?”
The queen of the fairy kingdom, whom everyone looks up to, kneels down!
It was an unthinkable event for Nevia, who was called the most noble elf, to pose like that in front of someone.
But whatever the atmosphere around her, Nevia just kept her eyes fixed on the ground and continued to say what she wanted to say in silence.
“If you’re going to arbitrarily build on someone else’s land, it would be polite to at least show the earnestness to bow your head.”
“….”
“We have no place to return to now except this blue star. Please accept us.”
The Queen’s words, which felt so subservient, made the complexion of the group of different races turn pale.
Some people were understandably indignant, wondering how the Queen could bow down in front of a mere human, but there was only silence in the territory.
Because I knew.
That man is the ‘peak’.
The Queen’s senses are never wrong. Her judgment was always aimed at ‘the best’.
If so, hasn’t the answer been found?
dump!
dump!
Behind Nevia, who bowed her head, a group of thousands of different races began to kneel in unison.
A spectacular sight reminiscent of a tsunami.
Races from various dimensions bow their heads only to one Daeseong.
To win his heart.
Meanwhile, the people who remembered that Daesung was on the same ‘side of humanity’ as them clenched their fists and trembled.
And Daeseong, the person involved, said,
“Those who engage in modifications will be destroyed immediately, so know that.”
He expressed his affection for them in his own way.
***
Nevia’s boast that she would gain Daesung’s trust in a short period of time was not empty words.
earth-! earth-! earth-!
Doo doo doo!
The sound of the hammer striking the steel frame and the sound of the drill rotating harmonized like harmony and reverberated throughout New Mexico.
“Wow….”
“What I saw in movies and novels wasn’t a lie…”
People who saw the dwarves rebuilding the collapsed building with truly magical skills responded with surprise.
The five dwarf tribes are now united and showing off their talents to the fullest.
Like a video playing quickly, the building, which had only bare bones, was rebuilt in no time.
It was a moment when the unrivaled characteristics of the Dwarves when it came to ‘architecture’ and ‘manufacturing’ shone through.
Is that all?
“Someone come here and remove the stones!”
“The elves need to step in here.”
The elves’ assistance was also great.
The elves easily accomplished tasks with magic that could not be accomplished in a short period of time with the technological capabilities of humans.
Thanks to this, New Mexico, which had seen only a few shabby huts, was regaining its appearance as a decent city center in just one day.
“We plan to start here first and gradually expand the reconstruction work throughout the district.”
“Right.”
Nevia shrugged her shoulders as if she was proud and stood next to Daesung.
She held her back, wiggled her fingers, and asked cautiously.
“Now… are you willing to trust us?”
“no.”
“….”
Nevia looked as if a lump of lead had fallen on the top of her head.
She snorted, as if she was in trouble, and ran to the reconstruction site and began to lead it herself.
When Daesung saw that, he smiled and turned around.
I said no, but
‘they’re not bad guys.’
In fact, Daesung already trusted them about 80%.
I decided to have faith in them sincerely helping people without any lies.
“….”
Daesung, who was walking alone, suddenly looked up at the sky.
Pure white clouds floating in the immaculately clear sky.
In the background, you can hear the chatter of people who have quickly become friends with a group of a different race.
These are sounds that have rarely been heard since the second cataclysm.
‘Has peace come?’
The moment that thought crossed my mind, Daesung’s steps stopped.
peace? So suddenly?
But looking back, isn’t that wrong?
All the rulers of the higher dimensions are dead. According to Nebia, most of the races in the dimension that are hostile to humanity have been eliminated.
What has changed is the coexistence of humans and other races?
“….”
That can be seen as a peculiarity of the ‘new era’.
Heaven, which brought about the tragedy of the second cataclysm, also collapsed.
So in the end,
‘…is it okay if I don’t have to go down the path of origin?’
There was only one reason why Daesung wanted to walk the ‘Road to the Origin’.
It was to collect the fragments of the origin, turn back time, and kill the person who established the dimensional tree, the cause of all evil.
But isn’t it peaceful enough as it is now?
Without having to go back to the time before the dimensional tree was established, the enemy disappeared and humanity achieved harmony with the new species.
If things just go on like this, peace will be maintained.
There is no need to fear when monsters will appear like before, and there is no need for someone to suffer an innocent death.
Why? My heart was pounding.
Flap-!
Daesung opened the ‘Akashic Records’ for no reason.
However, the future information written there was all trivial.
At least there was no information written that someone would attack tomorrow or that someone would die.
‘Here…’
Exciting! Exciting!
Daesung’s eyes gradually widened. His pupils were fluttering and his heart was pounding as if it would explode at any moment.
That was an expression that Daesung had not made since he returned from hell.
‘Can I stop here?’
I fought in hell for 80 years.
Even after returning to Earth, they fought non-stop for two years.
I fought and kept fighting.
A bloody life filled with nothing but fighting.
Is it okay for me to end these damn days right here and now?
[Someone stands at the end of the ‘Road to the Origin’ and searches for the Absolute.] At
that moment, before Daesung had called first, the ‘Life Devourer’ suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
“…!”
Before Daesung could react to the sudden appearance of a system message and a ‘predator of life’ blocking his view.
[‘The Devourer of Life’ guides the Absolute to the ‘Road of Origin’!]
[Someone at the end of the ‘Road of Origin’ continues to search for the Absolute!]
Pot-.
Daesung’s body turned into a dot and disappeared everywhere.
