    Episode 173 – Proof of existence of humans and non-humans 13 –

    Spring comes after chaos.

    A country does not fall that easily.

    There may be cases where the country’s fortunes decline and an incident occurs and ruins the country.

    A developing country will not perish unless it is invaded by a foreign power.

    The Kingdom of Feyre was also similar.

    Because I succeeded in overcoming it in the end.

    “… Even if there was help from Seonghwangcheong. You overcame it well.”

    “Thank goodness it’s different.”

    Things got better.

    Although it had to be repaired over a long period of 5 years.

    After the active cooperation of Seonghwangcheong, the country eventually found its feet.

    And the country that was created that way was quite good.

    Under the guidance of Seonghwangcheong.

    Because we have replaced all the problems that existed before.

    Alchemy stones instead of gold.

    Dessert instead of food.

    Sports instead of struggle.

    Considering that before this, survival itself was a dangerous situation.

    You could say it’s better than before.

    “Wouldn’t it be okay anyway? Isn’t it better than a situation where people kill and kill each other?”

    “That’s right, at least as long as I don’t die… Because I can come back to life.”

    The king and his subjects strengthen their relationship by sharing stories with each other.

    And below, cheers were erupting for the king and his subjects who had overcome difficult times.

    “People who remember the past still see you as everyone’s savior. Seonghwangcheong also expressed gratitude for saving countless people from starvation.”

    “No matter what, you are our savior!!”

    “Hurray!!! Long live!!!!”

    The ground becomes muddy after it rains.

    When the rain dries, it becomes an opportunity to become even stronger.

    In fact, the Kingdom of Feyre, which overcame difficult times, became better than before.

    Once again, they thought that this glory would continue in their generation.

    And it was thought that the disaster that Seonghwangcheong had spoken of had already passed.

    However, is a human being who cannot let go of competition even when survival is a problem really a being with a conscience?

    Is he truly a being who knows manners and has dignity like a civilized person?

    Of course not.

    “It’s your fault!!!”

    “Why is it like that!!! In the end, we all end up dying!!!!”

    What they overlooked was resources.

    The prosperity of the Kingdom of Feyre inevitably required resources.

    The alchemy of creation was at the level of creating something from nothing.

    However, it was not like God creating something from nothing.

    From a human perspective, it was nothing.

    Because from the point of view of matter, it truly existed.

    “The tree… The plants don’t grow at all!”

    “Fish and livestock are completely gone!!”

    “The land just exists, there is nothing else!! Does this make sense!?”

    Even if he has alchemy that is close to that of a god, efficiency still exists.

    Since it can manipulate all substances, it can even make bread out of air.

    It is easier to make bread from plants than from air.

    And he was an alchemist who valued efficiency.

    The invention turned dirt, weeds, polluted water, and hard-to-use stones into incredible things.

    People saw that and thought that something had been created from nothing.

    But they were not infinite resources.

    It was just not needed for humans.

    Because the natural world needed it.

    The consequences of their disappearance were devastating.

    “The ecosystem has been completely destroyed… I think this can’t be helped.”

    An ecologist was invited to investigate and the result was environmental destruction.

    The ecosystem could no longer be created.

    Once an ecosystem has collapsed, it cannot be rebuilt.

    Even if he created the environment, the Emperor did not have the power to create life.

    The environment became more and more damaged and slowly began to disappear.

    “What should I do? Isn’t it possible for you? Even if efficiency is low, isn’t it possible to make bread from air after all?”

    National opinion tilted again.

    But the only thing that has changed is the environment.

    People remained.

    The request was made by officials who have accumulated experience safely overcoming extreme situations where gold loses its value.

    It’s an extreme assumption, but let’s avoid the immediate situation.

    Let’s buy time by averting the situation.

    But Changje knew it well.

    “Can’t… ”

    That that’s impossible.

    “Alchemy is perfect, but… Efficiency is ultimately determined by my will. If efficiency drops, eventually we won’t be able to save all these people.”

    Although this land eventually evolved in a different direction.

    People flocked to this place because they were told that they could feed an infinite number of people under the protection of the Emperor.

    And having to give up some of them.

    Ultimately, it meant the collapse of this land.

    Because it meant that the entire social system had to be overturned.

    “Everyone depends on you… I lost my skills… !”

    “What should I do? All that’s left is… It’s just alchemy!”

    “Just because there are many alchemists does not mean that resources will be created… The answer is… !”

    When will the country fail?

    When national power gradually declines and an incident finally occurs.

    The country is ruined.

    The incident occurred.

    And the national power of Changje, which would prevent the country from ruin, had already exhausted its power.

    Kyaaa

    I heard a sound outside.

    When the food disappeared, they looted.

    Cannibalism happens.

    Everywhere is burning.

    Disaster happens.

    The time when the saint of Seonghwangcheong prophesied.

    That time was recreated.

    It wasn’t past.

    It just hadn’t arrived yet.

    I thought the saint’s prophecy would come true in a short period of time.

    The saint’s prophecy did not come true until 10 years had passed from the moment she saw the prophecy.

    The cause was also tragic.

    The creator himself was the cause.

    The reason we tried to make everyone happy was to prepare for disaster.

    And the disaster occurred due to lack of resources.

    These were none other than the items exhausted by the invention in preparation for disaster.

    “… ”

    Many similar situations occur in Greek and Roman mythology.

    A story about trying to avoid fate, but your actions end up causing it.

    Changje’s behavior was exactly like that.

    Please give me “ command… Your Majesty.”

    He asked his lord for an answer.

    The country is falling apart in real time.

    What was important in this situation was the king’s judgment.

    I don’t know if it would be meaningful.

    “… ”

    His master and the one who would be called the last king of this country closed his eyes.

    And he said nothing for a long time.

    Because I instinctively knew there was no answer.

    Please give me “ command. If you tell me to die, I will take it. If you tell me to turn my back on the empire, I will turn my back on it. I will do everything according to your will. so… ”

    Changje was even prepared to die.

    He said he would sacrifice his life.

    This did not mean that one should use oneself to save the country.

    He just wanted to punish himself for ruining the country.

    Even if the price is death.

    “… ”

    “… ”

    The word spread throughout the throne room, and there was silence for a while.

    No one said anything.

    Meanwhile, Mikhail was thinking about the following.

    How can we save the country?

    Will I be able to save my master?

    No matter how much I thought about it, it was impossible.

    “… ”

    But the most ironic thing is.

    In the meantime, there was a way for him to survive.

    That was what pained Mikhail the most.

    “… Mikhail.”

    Soon enough, Angela’s mouth opened.

    It was a call to his most loyal subordinate.

    “You… You might be able to live better if you leave this country. This behavior was not what you intended… There is no reason for other countries not to accept you.

    So leave. I was glad that I was able to dream for a while thanks to you. But happy dreams have to wake up someday… ”

    She hesitated for a moment.

    Eventually, he left behind words that were no different from his will.

    “Go far away and have a dream that you won’t wake up from for a long time. Now I will wake up from my happy dream and go to face the cold reality.

    Don’t worry. Because the period you were in will remain the most brilliant period in history… ”

    And the last words that came out of her mouth were:

    Even though she didn’t mean to, she punched him in the chest.

    “The last king who enjoyed the heyday of the Kingdom of Feyre… ”

    The Kingdom of Feyre will fall.

    The highest authority in a country.

    That was the future decided by the king.

    “… ”

    For a while he didn’t say anything.

    no. There wasn’t.

    Because he could not disobey his king.

    “Stop going in. I was happy to be your boss.”

    Even if Angela Feyer wasn’t a saint, she was at least not stupid.

    She knew it was no one’s fault.

    And if responsibility is to be placed, it must be the person who ordered Mikhail.

    Therefore, she hoped that Mikhail would carry on the will of the kingdom in a foreign country.

    Because he was his faithful subordinate.

    “Okay.”

    however.

    Even though I know one path in the water.

    There is no way for people to know one way.

    The love that lies deep within Mikhail.

    It kept interfering with his rational judgment.

    Mikhail just went outside.

    And I thought.

    Why did this happen?

    Is there any other way?

    Fortunately, it wasn’t long before he figured out a way.

    It was an extreme method, but it didn’t matter.

    Because he is no longer Angela’s subject.

    I thought it wouldn’t matter.

    If you go out, the kingdom people will live a terrible life.

    My lord remains the worst king.

    How to reverse these two things.

    that day.

    A huge dome rose in the center of the Feyre Kingdom.
