===============

The time has come to end the short break.

I felt a moment of hesitation and regret, but I had to shake it off.

“Goodbye.”

What more do I need to say?

I didn’t want to drag on time.

I delivered a short farewell message to my colleagues, completely devoid of rhetoric.

“Going… Is it true?”

“uh.”

A girl with beautiful pink hair asked, biting her plump lips.

Seeing Beatrice like that, I smiled awkwardly.

“Now you plan to subdue the Earth Mother. That’s the only way to prevent the end of the world.”

“The time has come for me to finish what you couldn’t finish.”

By annihilating the existence of the One God, the symbol of goodness, the scales of balance, which were biased towards one side, are returned to their original form. It is the only way to save the world from the ominous gray.

The misfortune of innocence is the natural enemy of the One God.

In order to usurp the throne of the One God, the power of wealthy people was absolutely necessary.

So, the saint’s party attempted usurpation by using extreme methods to resurrect the evil fortune of death that they had sealed. Although the usurpation ended in failure, it was certainly meaningful.

“Ethan, we will help you too.”

“It’s already difficult to treat him like an old man in the back room.”

As Madbay and Felix took a step forward, they announced their intention to participate in the war.

I shook my head at him.

“I appreciate your sentiments, but I will decline. This… Because it’s something I have to finish.”

Suffice.

Now the role of the saint’s party is over.

I did not want to embroil my colleagues who had accepted the sacrifice without hesitation again.

Although she devoted herself to rehabilitation while living in seclusion in the Marquis of Hohenberg, Saint Pati was still suffering from the aftereffects of the disaster. Maximilian, who sacrificed his vitality and lifespan to seal away the descendants of death, was even in a state of difficulty in movement.

“To you guys… Well, I wanted to say I’m sorry.”

“Yes?”

“Because I didn’t realize the agony of those of you who were concerned about the end of the world. As soon as I heard that you guys disappeared without any notice, I foolishly became suspicious. Escape from love… .”

“Sa, escape from love?! It’s unclean! What did you think of us!”

I apologized while scratching the back of my head.

Then Beatrice let out a loud voice with a bright red face.

On the other hand, the saint’s lovers, including Maximilian, ‘actually wanted to do that.’ He gave a shy response. It seemed like they had seriously considered running away from love.

“I thought I would enjoy a romantic relationship with my lovers at a secluded resort with an endless horizon. I’m sure not only me but others also thought that way.”

“It’s noisy! Be quiet!”

“The news that Beatrice, the saint who defeated the Demon King, committed love-escapades with her lovers was featured all over the continent for several days.”

“Aaagh!”

A saint who committed a love affair with four lovers.

I finally learned about the existence of fake news, which has spread so widely that there is no one on the continent who doesn’t know about it.

In response, Beatrice clutched her head and let out a scream full of shame.

“I can’t get married anymore!”

Voices chattering from behind.

The meaningful looks that the family’s servants gave each time they encountered him.

Prodigal woman.

She was reduced to a prostitute who ran away from love.

I was just trying to save the world after the catastrophe… . Beatrice muttered in a weak voice.

“I have misunderstood you all this time. I’m sorry.”

“Trigram, it’s okay! Actually, it’s not okay at all… !”

When I apologized in a sincere voice, Beatrice responded in a voice filled with despair.

And the saint’s lovers shrugged their shoulders and looked truly satisfied.

“Thank you. For fighting for me all this time.”

Saint. Warrior. Sword Saint. Mercenary King. Wise man.

Above all, he expressed his gratitude while looking at his precious colleagues.

Then, various reactions came in, such as smiling or showing shyness.

“I will find a way to extend your lifespan, so just wait patiently for this time, brother.”

“Got it.”

older brother.

Maximilian smiled slightly at the name he called for the first time.

“Then I’ll come back.”

Finally, I turned my head away from my colleagues as I said goodbye once again.

* * *

The land where the era of monotheism began.

No one knew the beginning of divinity.

No one is allowed to set foot in it.

Only when the unbreakable unknown continues, can the mystery of divinity be completed.

Only the great fortune of Mugo, who fought an all-out war against the Earth Mother until the end of the Age of Myth, would know of its existence. The land where the era of monotheism began was a humiliating place where the Earth Mother was defeated.

The city of creation.

Lively.

An impregnable sanctuary surrounded by golden clouds on all sides.

Most of the unknown was revealed to countless adventurers full of passion and desire to explore. However, the original land where the era of monotheism began still existed as a mystery that was not recorded on maps.

“This is why no one could find it.”

A steep mountain peak that seems to reach the edge of the sky.

A city built on top of it.

He was arrogantly looking down at all the traces of history that mankind had accumulated.

Gael.

It was a place very suitable for the arrogant One God.

We reached the City of Creation by passing through the golden clouds that blocked entry like a castle. Unlike the bitter cold outside, the City of Genesis was overflowing with warmth as if it were a completely isolated space.

‘That’s a good thing. I was wondering what I would do if I got altitude sickness.’

I thought as I glanced at Elizabeth.

Currently, the godhead of death was replacing Elizabeth.

black eye. Red colored eyes.

The characteristics revealed by the Apostle possessed by the God of Disaster spoke of this.

“War, raise your head and look at the sky. I see a heaven full of weak henchmen.”

“… … .”

As I gazed at the transparent sky facing the city of creation, a vast city was revealed.

Heaven.

A realm of angels who follow the one God.

This world and the heavenly world are divided so that no one can come and go through normal means. That is why the cardinals of the Holy Empire held a large-scale ceremony to summon the archangel Bellasiel.

but-.

No laws apply in the city of creation.

At any moment, angels from heaven may pass through the border and come to the city of creation. Ludmilla and Zeveline, who witnessed the pale silhouette of heaven, immediately showed caution.

As “ returns to this cursed city, it reminds me of old times. It was very fun back then… . Day after day, there was a struggle to occupy the throne of the only god.”

Ahaha-.

The god of death burst into a cruel smile on Elisabetta’s face.

Ludmila, who was watching him, reacted with concern.

“Follow your luggage. That bitch is probably waiting at the temple located in the center.”

It’s awkward and unfamiliar.

Also called ‘Jim’.

And an old-fashioned way of speaking imprinted with rigid manners.

As Ludmilla and Zeveline glanced at each other, Edanant shrugged his shoulders and followed the Ashes of Death who had claimed to be their guide. Indeed, as she expected, the closer she got to the center, the more she began to feel the divinity of the One God.

‘There are traces of fighting all over the city.’

Scratch marks from giant claws.

A pit carved out as if a barrage of artillery shells had been dropped.

Even the ruins caused by the fire and piles of rubble strewn about indiscriminately.

Contrary to the beautiful scenery of the outskirts, the closer you got to the center, the more traces there were of battles between gods. It was difficult to enter because of the ruins and piles of stones blocking the way.

“Gael.”

When the tall spire of the temple began to come into view,

Edanant, who entered the center of the city, spoke the name of the One God.

That moment-.

A torrent of divinity rushed in, accompanied by a shaking ground that shook the body.

“Welcome. Stranger outside.”

Mysterious hair shining with various brilliance.

Eyes engraved with sacred patterns.

It’s definitely true.

It was the body of the one God.

His beautiful appearance and unique features that were far beyond providence proved it. Ilshin, who had so far used the would-be saints of the Holy Empire as possessors, finally appeared as the main body.

Huaaa

Pure white feathers fluttered with dazzling brilliance.

“As they declared at the time, they must have come to usurp the throne of the One God.”

usurper.

Eternal enemies who have threatened humanity.

She pursed her plump lips, revealing her complicated inner thoughts.

“War. Tyranny. Kia. Death.”

The natural enemies that we tried to eliminate using all means and methods have come to challenge this land again.

Is this also the cause of fate?

It went around and around and reached the origin.

There was a fight again with Mugo’s Jae-Aek for the position of sole god.

I felt bound by fate as I looked at the person who had united all the scattered fortunes into one. Even though he has reached the pinnacle of encompassing all gods, he will ultimately be unable to escape the bondage.

“Prove it. You are the usurper who will end the era of monotheism.”

The brilliance symbolizing absolute faith flashed.

To counter him, evil spirits began to swallow the light.
