episode_0112

I feel as if an unknown energy is rising from the tips of my feet.

In a palace painted entirely in blood, my fighting spirit is aroused as I look into huge eyes burning with malice.

“What on earth are you…!”

Cerise shouted. Even though I had never once felt fear after overcoming my limit, my body felt heavy just by looking into those unknown eyes.

Ariel and Carly also lowered their posture and broke into a cold sweat. Because it seemed as if this space was filled with all the negative emotions and energy in the world.

[I don’t care what you call me. I am the ruler and monarch of this world.]

It was an expression that could only be called arrogant, but no one could refute it.

It is a powerhouse of a different class from the creatures we have encountered so far. No, can that really be called a living thing?

“Why on earth did you take Venice…!”

[Hmm…. If you ask why. At first it was just curiosity.]

The status window, or rather what was the status window, responded to Ariel’s shout as if laughing.

Although he didn’t have to answer, I look at him answering kindly, as if he were showing the generosity of the powerful.

[At that time when I was looking down at everything in this world. A being that suddenly appeared as if it had fallen from the sky caught my eye.]

Judging by the huge eyes turning towards Venice, no one could fail to notice that the entity the status window was talking about was Venice.

[It was fascinating. For me, who had lost all interest, that alien and mysterious being was truly fantastic.]

“What on earth do you want to say…!”

[If that was all it was, I would have quickly lost interest. Beings that appeared in other dimensions were not at a level that could not be seen at all.]

I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Another dimension…? Venice is from another dimension?

[But, but. What if that alien being already existed in this world?]

“….No way.”

Their eyes grew bigger. They were not ignorant people who did not understand the meaning of those words.

[That being… They said it was Venice. There were already three Venices living in this world. It also had the same soul.]

Does this make sense? It was truly absurd to say that someone with the same soul existed.

It was a story so absurd that it could be dismissed as the opponent’s nonsense, but it was something that could not be ignored.

[Isn’t it amazing? Four people with different personalities, abilities, and bodies. They all have the same soul.]

“What do you mean…! Then, my ability, the self-immolation artist…!”

Venice shouted, pounding on the iron bars. So, what happens to everything that has lived in this empire until now?

What happened to my ability, the self-immolation artist?

[I couldn’t say it wasn’t your ability. You had the ability to assimilate with three different humans, and I only gave you ‘a little’ help in reaching it.]

[I just packaged it under the name ‘Iminationist.’ how is it. Wasn’t it as enjoyable as you hoped?]

“……………………….”

Everything I lived was a lie… a play on that Sang Tae-chang?

[Because I used you, and you also used me. Even if you had not interfered with those bodies, the result would have been the same.]

“….If the result didn’t change even though I didn’t do anything, then why did you help me?”

[Yeah… Because it was fun? It was really nice to see their expressions of sorrow, pain, and despair as seen through your eyes.]

Upon hearing the answer from a being imbued with infinitely pure malice, the four people’s expressions distorted.

All of that… all the times of pain and despair were the result of playing according to its will.

[Well, I’m thankful to you too. Thanks to you, I was able to reach my apostles from the future.]

“….What?!”

“What nonsense is this bastard talking about…!”

“You fucking bastard…! Who said you would become that bastard’s apostle!!”

The eyes turn to the women. As they understand the meaning of those gazes and words, they begin to feel indignant.

[what. I’ll leave the small talk here. Now is the time to become My Apostle. The strongest people in this world.]

Fit! dump.

“Queu…”

“Captain…! This dog is …. ◦ ◦ ◦

“Dare to visit Venice….!”

“You fucking bastard!!!!!”

When the giant eyes turned to Venice inside the cage, Venice lost consciousness and fell down.

Magical power begins to surge from the bodies of the three women who looked at this scene. A force that can be said to be truly overwhelming is brought up.

[….Go for it. And try to kill me….!]

-If you can, that is.

I’m so tired!

As soon as those words are finished, red lightning and red chains begin to strike.

“””…………”””

In that short period of time, the three women look at each other’s faces. They were all comrades who had experienced the loss of a loved one, and the target was the same person.

Looking at the eyes burning with different colors. They knew what each other should do without saying anything.

The fighting spirit that was directed toward each other just moments ago is directed toward the cause of all incidents that must be defeated.

Kwazijijijik-!

And that moment when lightning and chains struck the place where they were. The three new types disappeared at the same time.

“…Slash!”

“Cutting…!”

“Die…..!!”

Seris’s slash, Ariel’s magic slash, and the magical sword energy created by Kali’s fingernails are aimed at the pupils.

Although I have never attacked with sincerity until now, I cannot guarantee my life or death if the opponent in front of me does not show my sincerity, so I attack with my best ability.

[Hmm… Is it at this level? indeed.]

However, the pupils do not blink. Because they just looked at the sincere attacks of the current strongest players and did not even try to avoid them.

I’m so tired!

And red lightning, which cannot even be described as thunder, hit the front of the slashes, and the slashes tried to move forward for a while before disappearing.

[Do your best…it would be better to risk your lives. otherwise….!]

Sasasasak-!

Without them even realizing it, red chains were binding their entire bodies.

“What is this….!”

“Put this away….!”

“Fuck…! Why isn’t this solved…!”

They struggled to shake off the chains that were constricting their bodies, but the more they tried, the more they tightened their grip.

And the moment when their entire bodies were bound and unable to move.

[It happens like this.]

I’m so tired!

“Kk…Ugh….!”

“Ker…Ker….”

“Ah…ahhh!!”

Red lightning struck their bodies. The shock was such that my whole body couldn’t move and my mind turned completely white.

Lightning strikes not once, but several times. The force is so strong that clothes burn and tear.

Passs..

It was so powerful that it could have been the power of God, as black heat bloomed from their bodies as they stood where several lightning strikes had struck.

“Ker…Kuh…Ugh…”

“Ah….ugh…”

“Huh……Uh..”

I could barely breathe. The eyes look down at the women who are struggling to restore their graying hair due to the tingling pain all over their bodies.

[I don’t know why they don’t use strong attacks from the beginning.]

[Then… give in now.]

I’m going to go to the middle of the day…!

Red lightning is about to strike again. I can’t move my body even now, but if I get hit by that attack again… I probably won’t be able to withstand it.

But they couldn’t move. Because it still took some time for my spirit to come back.

I wonder if I’m going to die… Should I just give up like this?

The leader, butler, and owner are over there. Finally… we can meet again.

From the sight of the motionless body, you can see red lightning coming closer and closer.

And the moment when everyone was losing hope.

“Strength….my….!”

The song of a small bird trapped in a cage begins to bring back my fading spirit.

“””…….!”””

The fragile voice that barely stands up and shouts is so warm. The warmth seemed to revive my broken heart. It brought strength back to my entire body.

I can’t give up, not yet. Because I have to save my light.

Life begins to return to the once empty eyes. The weak will begins to burn strong again.

As your will burns, strength begins to return to your body.

And the moment when the will to burn down one’s life began to burn again. There are no limits.

[★★★★★★ ★]

I’m so tired!

No one was there where the red lightning struck again and again.

[….what?]

The eyes move quickly to find the new types that have disappeared for a moment.

When the red eyes moving at an uncanny speed discovered their new form. They had already reached right in front of the giant eyes.

“Dimension….Slash.”

Eyes that burn brighter than the sun. And a sword energy brighter than the sunlight flies out.

“Dimensional cutting.”

Countless cutting magic condenses into one place and moves forward. Even the space existing in the direction of the slash is distorted.

“Killing God.”

The giant monster’s grasp rushes in. Those sharp claws tear through the dimension and head towards the pupils.

Gather all your strength and make an attack that can rival even a god.

[This…I can’t believe it!]

I’m so tired!

The pupil hurriedly struck down lightning and chains with all its might. However, the attack advances by cutting, piercing, and tearing through the overwhelming amount of defense.

[This can’t be happening… This doesn’t make sense…!]

Sooo!

[Kaaa!!!!!]

The slash containing the three wishes pierces all defenses and heads towards the pupils. The eye that allowed the attack bleeds and screams.

However, they didn’t stop. Rather, it burns a stronger fighting spirit and gathers all its strength for the final attack.

“Aaaaa!!!”

“Die…uh!!!”

“I’ll tear you apart!!!”

Kwagwagwagwang-!

The attack containing all the power and aspirations of the strongest is concentrated in one place. Not only the place where the pupil is, but even the castle behind it flies away, distorting the dimension.

[Quaaa-!!!!]

Kwaaa!

A strange voice shakes the heavens and earth, as if it were a mixture of all the sounds of the world. An explosion occurs that shakes the world, and a huge cloud of dust is formed.

“Huh…Huh…Huh…”

“Ugh…Keuuu…”

“Haa…haa…!”

They stand in their seats and breathe heavily. Because I had just poured all my magic and strength into the attack, it was difficult to even stand properly.

Still, it was okay. If the attack was strong enough to distort even the dimension, the pupils would have disappeared. Even now, no sound or presence was heard.

“….many…people!”

“Captain…!”

“Venice….!”

“Master!!”

They look at each other and smile happily. Now it’s all over. Now, only a truly peaceful life…!

It’s a joke!

And that moment when everyone let down their guard. A huge red lightning rushes in, unprecedented in comparison to before.

“….No! Avoid…!”

[It makes sense.]

Venice, who was watching the scene closest, shouted urgently, but their bodies were no longer in a state where they could avoid the attack.

“Off…Kkeuh…Ugh…”

“No way…”

“How…?”

They sit down, lie down, and look through the cloud of dust. As the dust cloud cleared, what appeared was an eye that had shed some blood but was still healthy.

[Puh…puh.]

[Puhahahahahahahahaha!!!!]

I thought he must have died from the attack just now. The eyes were still alive and laughing at themselves.

Women look up into their eyes with empty eyes. How…how are you alive? The attack just now gave everything…

Only despair fills me. There seems to be no more hope. Now I feel like I don’t even have the strength to stand up…

[okay…! That look!! It’s really delicious!!! Despair even more!! Suffer even more!!!!]

“This…how can this be…how on earth…?”

To Venice’s vain question, her eyes were bright, but she answered.

[How can you say that?! Did you think that I, the ruler of this world, would be destroyed by just such an attack?!]

[Phew… But you can’t deny that it was a huge attack. If it weren’t for me… no one would have survived.]

“This…isn’t this…how did I get hit by that attack…”

[Well, what can you do? No creature in this world can touch my life. That’s all.]

Soon, even Venice’s eyes died. Now there was no more hope or light left.

[ruler. Now that I’ve enjoyed everything I can enjoy. Now it is your turn to become my apostle.]

“Ah…no…Captain…”

“Stop it…. Don’t do it….!]

“Fuck…don’t…don’t…!”

Despite their refusal, the tentacles protruding from the giant eyes begin to head towards them.

A situation where you can only watch the disgusting and hateful tentacles approaching, unable to resist.

“Ah…..”

“Benis…”

“Master….”

[ruler. Become my subordinate. And so this world….!]

Again, again, again, again.

And the moment when hope disappeared. The sound of footsteps echoes in the magnificent castle.

“Okay. What can you do? This is what a ‘must-lose event’ is like.”

All eyes turn to the sweet yet mysterious voice.

Crackling… crackling…

Beneath the huge, closed castle wall, the dimension crackles as if it has been torn apart. Someone walked out of the space filled with unknown letters and colors.

Someone’s new type keeps changing.

Everyone’s pupils begin to widen.

To some, it is in the form of a small town librarian.

To some, she looks like a suspicious old woman.

To some, it is in the form of an academy dormitory.

To some, it appears as a benefactor wearing mysterious robes.

And finally. The crackling and changing appearance becomes fixed as one image.

Hair like the night sky. And a dress that looks like it’s covered in a milky way.

Eyes and a smile that seems to coexist with emptiness and mystery.

[What are you…?]

Pupil’s voice begins to tremble. My eyeballs also tremble at the same time. I am immersed in fear, as if I am looking at an unfathomable being.

“….Me? It doesn’t matter what you call it. I shouldn’t exist in this world… because it’s an ‘error’.”

“….No way…”

And the mysterious woman’s gaze turns to Venice, who stares at her blankly inside the cage.

“Hello. It’s been a while, my love.”

“Ro….U? How could you…”

“I really… missed you. my love. How have you been?”
