Chapter Index

    Shaella was amazing.

    He hid himself without any sound or presence, overpowered the city gatekeeper, and entered the city through an unopened door.

    Honestly, I don’t know Shaella very well.

    He called himself the highest god of the world, but it didn’t make much of an impression.

    Because it was normally normal.

    Because he was a person no different from me.

    Is that why?

    Hwiik-

    A view of the stem wrapped around Shaella’s wrist.

    The sight of this guy passing people looked somehow cool.

    No one noticed.

    Since there is no one to notice, there is no one to stop it, and since there is no one to stop it, it is no different from a highway.

    [Go that way to get to the center.]

    Shaella headed to the center without any trouble.

    All I did was give directions using stems.

    Sigh-

    Suk, Suk.

    Strangely enough, Shaella was walking, but moving at least ten steps at a time. I couldn’t even figure out how to move.

    So I asked.

    [How are you moving? It looks like you’re walking, but it looks faster than running.]

    Shaella’s answer was absurd.

    [Do you think so? I’m walking as slowly as possible. Up to this point, I can completely control the presence.]

    [That means walking slowly?… What happens if you move quickly?]

    [You can cross the city in tens of seconds, right?]

    […] Well, that’s right.]

    Is it possible to move roughly faster than the speed of sound?

    When I thought about it, he had already carried me through the forest in one go.

    but… .

    Convincing is still difficult.

    A kilometer can be crossed in just a few seconds.

    Even if I fly as fast as I can, he has no choice.

    I still don’t know about Shaella.

    I continued to look at him.

    There have been no problems with the operation yet.

    Shaella continued on the move, and I took up a position with my men outside the city and scouted the interior again with plant vision.

    ‘In the union… ‘Probably not there.’

    The first place I looked at was the slave union.

    Even though I don’t know about Cardelpion Palace, my vision somehow reached the union. Therefore, we looked at the combination of weeds and grasses growing here and there.

    Of course, Ian could not be found.

    He’s probably still trapped underground, waiting for me.

    Instead, they found another slave.

    ‘Cecilia?’

    The palace’s slaves, including Cecilia, could be seen grooming themselves like merchandise through the waiting room window. As if about to welcome a new owner.

    ‘… I feel like things have become bigger because of me for no reason.’

    A feeling of guilt creeps up.

    Because it’s no different from harming them.

    But right now, saving Iyan is important. They’re not particularly in danger, so there’s no need to worry right now.

    Let’s do this after the regrets are over.

    It’s cheap-

    I concentrated.

    I interacted with plants over 1km long.

    But as expected, my ability is not enough to check the center. It seemed like there was a limit to using an alter ego as an antenna.

    I can’t help it.

    [Shaella. From there, I can’t see. But if you go straight in the direction I gave you, you will find Cardelpion Palace. Can I leave it to you?]

    [If not me, who will do it? I’m waiting there quietly.]

    Shaella advanced confidently.

    Even though there was a possibility of fighting, there was no tension.

    I wanted to capture more of that scene, but as the distance got farther away, my view was cut off.

    But telepathy doesn’t matter.

    Since it was his unique ability, I didn’t have to worry about communication being lost even if I was far away. All that was left was to wait for him to do well.

    How long did I wait like that?

    [Muchan. The basement has already been dug?]

    [what?]

    [I arrived at the palace, but all of the four stems were burned and dead.]

    Shaella delivered shocking news.

    Renatus must have noticed where Iyan was hiding and dug into it.

    ‘What… .’

    Am embarrassed.

    My head feels dizzy.

    It was hidden underground, but they noticed it and uncovered the entire area?

    I thought it would come as quickly as one day, but it wasn’t.

    An hour was enough to make a plan.

    However, it took more than half a day to find the gate using the self-immolation body.

    Meanwhile, Ian disappeared.

    Thanks to you, many thoughts pass through my mind.

    If they had given up on the portal and only sent Shaella in, wouldn’t they have been able to save them safely?

    No, seeing as the basement was dug up, it means that Renathus was looking for it all along, so he wouldn’t have crashed into it anyway.

    So what was the best way?

    I don’t know.

    What is the correct answer?

    It’s hard to trust my own judgment.

    But the past cannot be undone.

    Let’s focus on the present.

    Currently, Ian… .

    Maybe he was captured by Renatus?

    No, if the stem is burnt… .

    [Muchan. I feel bad saying this, but I think it’s a good idea to be prepared.]

    thud.

    And a thousand pounds fell into my chest.

    What this means is simple.

    He might be dead.

    Even if that wasn’t the case, he would have been taken somewhere and suffered punishment.

    Trust me and wait… … .

    Is it as if they pushed him into a corner by saying they would protect him for no reason?

    Whether he was dead or alive, he would have been seriously injured.

    I came here with a lot of hope.

    Guilt is constricting my body.

    [What are you going to do?]

    Shaella asks.

    Are you going to give up like this?

    Or are you going to look for it?

    [I have to look for it… .]

    I returned the guilt and regret.

    If I was going to sacrifice Iyan, I wouldn’t even start.

    You can regret it later. If there is still a possibility, I have no choice but to dig deeper.

    [Shaella. Can I ask you a favor?]

    I already promised.

    He said he would treat his wounds.

    He said he would tell me my village.

    The operation remains the same.

    [Anyway~ It’s annoying. Muchan. You should thank me. The world is surprised that I am only working hard for myself.]

    […] okay.]

    [It’s not ‘yes’, it’s saying thank you when that happens.]

    […] thank you.]

    [Not enough sincerity. I’ll listen to it again later, so don’t be discouraged and just practice.]

    [Yes, yes.]

    [Okay, let’s take a look first.]

    Shaella made a condescending gesture and then moved.

    Unfortunately, all I can do now is pray to Shaella.

    Although it won’t reach you.

    Because you are still a god.

    ‘please… .’

    May my prayers help you.

    Please, I hope the worst doesn’t happen.

    *

    “This guy uses quite a bit of strength.”

    Cardelpion’s Palace.

    Shaella quietly looked at the slight traces of battle here and there.

    The palace itself was fine, but traces of strong power were visible at the point where Muchan and Renathus collided.

    warrant.

    It is the power of gods or transcendents.

    It can be seen as a higher power that surpasses general physical attacks or magic.

    For example, if you focus on Muchan’s formless magic and practice and develop it to the extreme to split Mount Tai with the wind, that too becomes power.

    Power is very free.

    They also carried out massive bombing raids.

    It can also become an area that changes space.

    It can mutate into the form of a giant, summon a giant, or change an object.

    Usually, those who use such powers are strong people with godhood.

    And in this case… .

    “Is this the guy who has just ascended to godhood?”

    Shaella looked at the hollowed-out ground and assessed its strength.

    Renatus, who fought here, is also a strong man with status and power. This means that he is worthy of being treated as a god by most people.

    And we’ll probably fight.

    What if she kidnapped Ian?

    Eat.

    Rather, it went well.

    Muchan told them to avoid friction as much as possible, but the village’s existence would soon be discovered anyway. There is nothing to hesitate about. I plan on destroying the city after looking at it for a while and if it seems worth it.

    Of course, no matter how strong Shaella is, she cannot win against an entire city. I don’t know how powerful the city owner and illusion are, and if there are multiple gods, Shaella will have to risk her life. But the city will also suffer enormous damage.

    ‘That’s enough.’

    I wasn’t too worried.

    If there is danger, just eat the elixir fruit and run away.

    I don’t know if it’s the fruit of life, but if it’s the fruit of fire, it will quickly replenish the wasted power, and if you release the suppressed curse at this time, you can regain your original power.

    This was the reason Shaella was relaxed.

    If you regain your original strength and do your best, it won’t be difficult to break through the siege.

    So first of all… .

    match.

    Shaella suddenly clapped her hands.

    At the sound of the sound, a fine golden energy spread abundantly to the surroundings.

    “As expected, there is no one in the palace.”

    One applause.

    With it, I looked down on everything around me.

    Not only Cardelpion’s palace, but also the houses of other nearby rulers.

    So that’s the problem.

    I promised Muchan that I would find Lee Yan, but I don’t even know where she is.

    The most likely one is Renatus’ house… .

    [Muchan. Do you know where Renatus’ house is?]

    [You will see it if you go to the central pyramid tower. It’s a mansion with a skull hanging like a sign.]

    Fortunately, Muchan knew Renatus’ house.

    I immediately left the palace and headed toward the center.

    “My dear~ What kind of trouble is this because I brought in the wrong plant?”

    chuck.

    We arrived in front of a strange mansion decorated with cute toys and scary skulls. Mu-chan must have felt it and sent a telepathic message.

    [arrived?]

    [I’m going in now.]

    [As I said, Renatus uses the lava ability. I summoned a strange place like hell. They also have giant lava skeletons, but fighting them can be tiring. You must infiltrate with as much caution as possible.]

    [I know.]

    […] Should I be careful?]

    Eat.

    I could feel Muchan’s feelings.

    He pretends to be cool, but he’s no different from a coward.

    He is a clumsy type who is cold towards himself but weak towards people who are on the fence.

    You probably won’t admit it to yourself, but… .

    Fortunately, the standards for allowing them into the fence are strict.

    ‘As expected, I have to take care of it.’

    Shaella thought about it and answered.

    [don’t worry. Muchan. I’m more than you think. Because you are stronger than you think.]

    Okay.

    I entered Renatus’ house.

    *

    ‘Has the space expanded? It was made like a dungeon.’

    Shaella walked inside the mansion.

    Although it looked huge on the outside, it was at least 10 times larger on the inside.

    There were many portraits in the hallway.

    When I opened the door, the undead were living in a room decorated with skulls, and those who appeared to be slaves were resting in the room with toys.

    I walked straight.

    walking down the hallway

    Climbing the stairs.

    Open the room and check.

    I moved to find Iyan, who might be hidden somewhere. The mansion was large, but Shaella was also fast, so it was quick.

    But Ian was not there.

    Renatus was also nowhere to be seen.

    I checked all the way to the top of the 5th floor, but I couldn’t find even a trace.

    but.

    ‘I think I know the basics.’

    Shaella went back down the stairs without looking particularly disappointed. This is because I figured out one thing while moving around the expanded interior of the mansion.

    chuck.

    “It’s an underground space under the mansion… .”

    It stopped somewhere in the hallway.

    I passed through the wall with the skull portrait on it and went inside.

    Hwii profit-

    It just fell.

    It was a secret passage, but there were no stairs.

    It fell at a very fast speed, as if it was trying to kill anyone who came in.

    Tuk.

    However. Shaella landed lightly.

    As if he had already expected it, he looked ahead without changing his expression.

    Large underground space.

    A place where the smell of blood is strong.

    and.

    “… … what? That’s strange. What kind of immature guy came in? Who are you? I’ve never heard of a guy like you in the city?”

    A girl with orange hair.

    Ruler Renatus.

    She looked back at Shaella.

    Fluttering orange hair and fingers dripping with lava caught my eye.

    Wiggle.

    At that moment, Shaella’s brow furrowed.

    It wasn’t because I faced Renatus.

    The back of the guy.

    ​On an altar made of stone.

    “Ah… … .”

    This is because the pink-haired girl was lying on the altar with empty eyes.

    Amputated limb.

    Melted flesh.

    The state of being on the verge of death.

    Ian was losing his mind in pain and losing his vitality.
