Ch.124Ep.124 Eternal Happiness – End

# Three Years Later.

“Finally, I’ve finished dealing with the remnants of the Outer God forces left in the Outer Universe.”

“Good work. It must have been tough with so little help. You really worked hard.”

“This is nothing. Compared to what I owe you, this was getting off easy.”

Brina was drinking coffee while chatting with Radios Magnum.

He had changed so much.

The battle with Azathoth three years ago.

In that fight, Radios achieved an overwhelming victory, and to resurrect those who had died, he sacrificed his Ascended Order to the Akashic Records and lost all his power.

Of course, if he had tried, he could have found power comparable to what he had before.

But since the era of chaos had ended, he didn’t even attempt to regain his power.

As a result, Brina became the busiest person.

The remnants of Olympus and the Outer forces still remained, troubling the world.

Now she was the only being left in this world who possessed a Divine Order.

“At times like this, Elysse would have been a great help if she were here.”

“It’s fine. She went through a lot, so she deserves to rest.”

It wasn’t that Radios didn’t want to resurrect Elysse.

But he respected her.

She had wanted revenge against Hades, and after completing her vengeance, Elysse had no reason to continue living.

She had only stayed alive because she needed to prepare for the battle against Azathoth.

Having lived for such a long time, she wanted to rest.

Radios couldn’t ignore her will by trying to resurrect her again.

“How are the goblins doing?”

“They’ve returned to the Demonic Prison. They said the demons are too weak to be any fun.”

“Well, now that both the Outer Gods and Olympus have disappeared from Kadinant.”

The warlike goblin race no longer needed to roam Kadinant.

Besides, they could come out whenever they wanted anyway.

“So, you came to say goodbye today?”

“…That’s right.”

“I want to thank you once more. For saving our father.”

“I only did what needed to be done.”

When Brina bowed her head again to express her gratitude, Radios accepted it with a smile.

Ah, the resurrected Poseidon, Kraud, and Veichel had all lost their powers.

To be precise, they too could have regained their power, but they continued to live peaceful lives, saying there was no need to regain power in a world where there was nothing to fight for.

“Please take care of my father.”

Brina left with those words and disappeared.

It seemed that since Kraud had lost his power, she had to rule the goblin clan.

It seemed she had no intention of taking Kraud to the Demonic Prison.

Well, Kraud without his power was just an old man, so it would be better for him to stay in Midret rather than going to the Demonic Prison.

After Brina said her final goodbye and disappeared.

Arsia Cromwell and Namgung Ihyun returned together through the front door.

“Is your conversation with Lady Brina over?”

“Yes. She said she’s going back to the Demonic Prison now.”

Arsia smiled brightly at Radios’s answer.

Three years ago, she lost her eyesight along with her Divine Order.

Thanks to Radios sacrificing his Ascended Order, she was living as an ordinary human without power.

Namgung Ihyun was no different.

Although she had been Radios’s subordinate, she wasn’t a being related to the Ascended Order.

Even though she lost all her Order because Radios lost his Ascended Order.

She too wanted to spend peaceful days like when she was on Earth, so she didn’t train.

To be precise, unless Radios became stronger, she wouldn’t become stronger either.

“How is Veichel doing?”

“Don’t even ask. She’s sharpening her knife saying she’ll kill Radios when she sees him.”

“Heheh. She should suffer a bit now that the world she wanted so badly has returned.”

Veichel had officially established a country with Midret as its capital.

The name of the country was the Kadinant Empire.

The people of Kadinant trusted Veichel Breate, and.

Under her command were the former Guardian Spirits, now called the Imperial Army, who acted as her limbs.

They voted in favor of her establishing a country and ruling over them.

This was a democratic majority vote as explained by Namgung Ihyun.

Veichel’s ascension to emperor was decided by an overwhelming margin.

This was all something Veichel had volunteered for herself.

She, who had held the ideology of creating a world only for humans.

Changed her course as soon as she was resurrected without any power.

If force wouldn’t work, she would create a world for humans through politics.

Of course, she had no intention of confronting the goblins.

After all, they were comrades who had fought together against Azathoth.

And as long as Brina was watching with sharp eyes, the Imperial Army could be annihilated by her alone.

She was in the process of unifying and ruling the Kadinant continent as one country.

Of course, she was apparently very angry at Radios for stepping back, probably because she was so busy.

“I didn’t want to rule over others, so I stepped back, but I don’t understand why she’s upset.”

There was no invitation to join her, and Radios had no reason to take a key position in a country.

When he was the leader of the Guardian Spirits, he keenly felt it.

That Veichel was much more suited for the leadership position than himself.

And Veichel had offered Arsia a military position.

Even though her Divine Order of foresight had disappeared, her extraordinary intelligence hadn’t gone anywhere.

But Arsia refused.

She expressed her desire to live quietly in the mountains with Radios, who had lost his power.

So Veichel couldn’t force her any further.

After all, she was the one who had started various projects to establish a country on her own and was now reaching out to others because it was difficult.

“She must be having a hard time. And… she seems to miss you.”

“I’m sure she does…”

“Do you really not want to meet her?”

“No.”

Arsia looked dejected at Radios’s firm answer.

After Radios exchanged his Ascended Order for three lives at the Akashic Records.

He had never once faced those three people.

Even when they came looking for him, he ran away, avoiding any chance to meet them.

“I still don’t have the courage to face them.”

In a way, saving them was just for his own satisfaction.

All three had prepared themselves and sacrificed for victory.

But Radios had nullified their noble sacrifices by giving up his Ascended Order.

How would they, who had returned from death without any power, think of Radios?

“I’d consider myself lucky if they don’t curse me as soon as they see me.”

“Who said anything about cursing you?”

“..!”

Radios turned his head when he heard the familiar voice.

There stood Poseidon and Kraud, looking at Radios with displeased expressions.

When the confused Radios asked Arsia what was going on.

She said she couldn’t refuse and just came along with them.

“Did you commit some crime? Why have you been avoiding us?”

“But…”

“But what? You saved the world and brought us back from a meaningless death!”

Poseidon showed an agitated response when Radios appeared hesitant.

She couldn’t help it.

It didn’t sit well with her that a hero who saved the world was living like this because of an absurd sense of guilt.

“We died for you, and you gave up your Ascended Order for us. If anything, we should be immensely grateful!”

“…”

“And thanks to that… I found a good relationship.”

“..?”

“Ahem. AHEM!”

Poseidon blushed, and Kraud cleared his throat.

Radios was momentarily brain-frozen, not understanding what was happening.

But soon he realized the situation and couldn’t help but laugh.

So that’s how it was.

“Congratulations to both of you.”

“A-Anyway! There’s no need to be so down! Hold your head high and live proudly! You have every right to!”

Poseidon, seemingly too embarrassed to say more, blushed and went outside.

Then Kraud composed himself and expressed his gratitude to Radios.

“When we first met, I never thought it would come to this… but thank you, truly.”

“I only did what needed to be done. Rather, if it weren’t for you, Kraud, I wouldn’t be here now.”

“Is that so?”

Kraud responded to Radios’s answer with a warm smile.

Looking at his expression, Radios felt truly conflicted about why he had been avoiding them all this time.

These were such good people.

He knew they were such good people.

Why couldn’t he face them until now because of guilt?

“Kraud.”

“Yes?”

“It’s late… too late… but be happy.”

“Hohoho, I never expected to hear such words from you.”

Kraud burst into laughter when Radios gave him a sincere thank you.

Of course, it wasn’t that Radios hadn’t been sincere until now.

However, Radios, having found peace of mind, showed a markedly different appearance from before.

‘Yes. A young man in his prime shouldered too much.’

Even Kraud had wanted to give up everything because what he shouldered was too burdensome.

Radios’s fate was by no means smooth.

His heart, hardened through countless times of frustration and despair, wouldn’t have been easily softened.

But rather, by letting go of everything, he seemed to have regained peace of mind.

Just as the smile he showed three years ago was different from the smile he showed today.

Seeing Radios return to his original age group, Kraud’s heart warmed.

But that was only for a moment.

Kraud, as if remembering something, rummaged through his pocket and spoke.

“Ah, and I have something to give you.”

“Yes?”

“Well, this is… a wedding invitation.”

“..?”

Radios looked at Kraud, who was awkwardly handing over the letter.

If it’s a wedding invitation, it means marriage.

If he’s giving a wedding invitation at this time, there’s only one possibility.

“You’ve already reached that point?”

“Thanks to you, we were able to gain time.”

“Pfft.”

Radios couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Yes.

Isn’t this true happiness?

This situation where one can laugh freely and act freely.

Radios was truly happy.

“Congratulations, Kraud.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Kraud, seemingly suddenly uncomfortable in this place, left without any farewell.

After he disappeared, Radios burst into the laughter he had been holding back.

“Hahaha! Isn’t this completely incestuous? It’s like a father marrying his daughter.”

“Hmm, come to think of it, that’s true?”

Poseidon is Cronos’s daughter, and Kraud is Cronos’s reincarnation.

A daughter marrying her father.

Should we say it’s very Olympian?

“It’s a good thing. A good thing indeed…”

“…”

Arsia didn’t respond.

Radios too, stretching his words, naturally let the conversation die.

And, Radios felt that now might be the time to say what he hadn’t been able to say.

“Arsia.”

“Yes?”

“Will you… marry me?”

“..!”

Radios suddenly stood up, knelt on one knee in front of her.

And handed her a small box.

In fact, Radios and Arsia had just not held a wedding ceremony.

For three years, they had lived together, leading a life similar to newlyweds.

However, Radios had not proposed to her.

His guilt towards others weighed him down, and he couldn’t be happy until he resolved it.

But receiving a wedding invitation from Kraud made him determined.

“I’ve been truly happy being with you all this time. I don’t know if you’ll like someone like me… but will you stay with me, always?”

Radios’s trembling gaze turned towards Arsia.

Arsia was still in a daze, but seeing Radios with pupils shaking as if there was an earthquake, she was able to calm down.

And with a joyful face, she shouted.

“Yes! I really… yes..!”

Hearing Arsia’s acceptance, Radios put the ring on her ring finger.

Standing up from his knee, he met her gaze.

And without knowing who moved first, they pressed their lips together.

In a secluded mountain where no one entered, the man and woman who confirmed their feelings for each other shared their emotions for a long time.

Isn’t this what happiness is?

No need for strong power, honor that stands above all, or money that can’t be spent even if one plays all their life.

Living for each other.

That is.

Eternal happiness.
