Temple of Chaos.

The deepest center of the mountain range comprised of the World Tree.

An Yu-min was looking down at Lee Jun-woo, who had collapsed in front of him.

There was no sign of any life activity.

With the omniscience of the World Tree, I realized that he had definitely passed away.

“Yes. I couldn’t help it. Because if I don’t do this, you won’t listen to me.”

Tears were flowing from An Yu-min’s eyes.

The battle that lasted for a long time was pictured in her mind.

Lee Jun-woo was strong.

Although he is one level lower than An Yu-min, who has become the embodiment of chaos.

As Song Yu-hwan was chosen by Chaos in the realm of the Absolute, his strength is the realm of God, capable of surpassing humans.

Lee Jun-woo was a strong man who won against Song Yu-hwan.

‘But it’s meaningless in front of me.’

Nevertheless, An Yu-min is an evil god who has now transcended even the bonds of mortality.

So I could tell from the beginning that this fight was meaningless.

“Did you want to protect Choi Hana so much? This world with other women too!!!”

There was no way that smart Lee Jun-woo didn’t know that fact.

However, Lee Jun-woo refused An Yu-min’s request to come back to her side until the end.

I asked him again 100 times before killing him.

– There is no way to betray one person and choose you, even if it means death.

And Lee Jun-woo kept his word.

In the end, An Yu-min killed Lee Jun-woo.

Even the moment my head was cut off by a frozen sword.

Lee Jun-woo did not come back to himself.

“Okay… you have no sin. Everything… Hana Choi. No, it’s because everything in this world is sin itself. Other sluts too!!”

The faces of countless women hovering around Lee Jun-woo passed through my mind.

The chaotic world tree is you.

Everything comes to mind, including where those women are located.

Ahn Yu-min puts Lee Jun-woo’s separated body together.

I hugged the corpse.

“So just wait a moment. Because I will create a world for you and me, without any distractions.”

The tree trunk shining with a dark red luster wrapped Lee Jun-woo’s body.

Although he died.

Even the soul cannot escape from the center of the mountain range full of chaos.

Although we cannot bring him back from the dead.

As the spirit is still hovering nearby, he can corrupt the remains into chaos and turn them into his familiars.

“Then we can be together forever.”

While that work is in progress.

An Yu-min planned to destroy all humans on earth with an army of 100,000 monsters.

“No. Those women who were interfering between Junwoo and me. At the very last moment… no, I won’t kill you, but will make you experience eternal pain. Hehehe… Hahahahaha!!!”

Although she couldn’t stop crying because Lee Jun-woo didn’t choose her in the end.

The thought that we could be together forever like this made me burst into laughter with such joy.

“Then, wills that follow chaos. Obey me and prepare to leave these mountains… huh?”

But it was strange.

At that moment, An Yu-min felt a sense of strangeness.

“Huh? No…?”

Clearly, Lee Jun-woo’s soul cannot leave this temple of chaos.

But I couldn’t sense his scent.

Anywhere in this world seen from omniscience.

“Uh, what happened!!!!! Junwoo is missing!!!”

An Yu-min screamed.

At the same time as she felt that sense of heterogeneity, her world became dark and dark.

A chaotic existence without reality.

So, the person that An Yu-min declared to be the source of that reality was Lee Jun-woo.

Now that Lee Jun-woo is gone.

An Yu-min’s world was collapsing.

***

“Don’t die… Survive and see you again.”

“Junwoo Lee! Be sure to come back alive!!!”

I heard the voices of my colleagues.

Ignition’s colleagues to whom I can entrust my life.

Jae-ho Lim and Si-woo Jeong.

With a determined look on their faces, the two left their last words to me as I was about to head towards the center of Yggdrasil.

I answered.

“No need to worry. I am unknown. If there is someone who wants to bring an end to my world. Because I will even take that end with my own hands.”

A few times actually. No, I was embarrassed to actually say that line because I had repeated it dozens of times.

We have already failed to prevent the apocalypse 35 times.

If things continue like this, I can’t help but feel a little embarrassed in front of two people who absolutely trust me.

‘Well, I’m the type of person who doesn’t lie.’

But even with those 35 deaths.

My will did not waver at all.

I was still desperate to prevent the apocalypse.

Because the inside of the World Tree was already polluted, the underground stairs leading to the temple were extremely dark with chaotic magic.

You have to go down for at least 3 hours to reach the underground temple where An Yu-min is located.

I walked up the stairs, resisting the feeling of falling into a swamp.

‘I felt it when I first walked. It’s so damn long.’

Of course, because it takes a long time to go down those stairs.

Even though the point of return was fixed at the moment when I said goodbye to the members of Ignition, I was able to get enough time to organize my thoughts.

We repeated 35 regressions.

Because of the regression following his death, the flame of hope has not yet been extinguished.

The embodiment of chaos.

An Yu-min was a being beyond my imagination.

The fire of Prometheus that defeated Song Yu-hwan.

An Yu-min easily blocked even the final intention of the third power.

‘It didn’t even produce a little soot.’

world tree. A divine being higher than the goddess.

As An Yu-min is the embodiment of chaos that absorbed its existence.

For me, who had a mortal body, killing a god was impossible.

‘I also had the roots of the world tree and the three sacred powers, but…’

Nevertheless, the polluted world tree is integrated with An Yu-min.

The World Tree has already assimilated with the Earth and the world itself.

In short, colliding with the world with just my body.

It was like hitting a rock with an egg.

And after meeting her.

I faced a more fundamental problem.

‘Chaos has become more real than I thought.’

Because that chaotic being swallowed the World Tree.

Even if he defeated his incarnation, An Yu-min, he could not handle the partial collapse of the world that would occur afterwards.

If anything, the opposite case was more stable by world standards.

Ahn Yu-min as chaos.

I confirmed that the source of An Yu-min’s existence is me, ‘Lee Jun-woo.’

Chaos that cannot have reality.

However, the chaos is stabilized as Ahn Yu-min comes into possession of ‘Lee Jun-woo’, the source of it all.

Although all humans on earth will lose their individual will and live as hosts of chaos.

‘Well, either way is the worst.’

But even in the face of that despairing conclusion, I did not break down.

After completing my awakening as an unknown.

My mental power has already been completed as absolute.

It means that he has surpassed Song Yu-hwan, an absolute man full of contradictions.

‘Besides, I still have a decisive move.’

It was a return to the present.

Surprisingly, after the death of the first.

A new ability to return that I didn’t have was revealed.

I recalled my most recent regression, a few hours ago.

[Regression begins.]

I remembered the message of the system that came to mind after the 35th death.

Because of this regression ability, the doomsday timer has been slowed down.

And it wasn’t difficult to deduce where this ability came from.

‘Letisane’s regression ability was passed on to me.’

Letisane was a regressor.

However, in the continued regression, it ended up being contaminated by chaos.

The contamination was so severe that it even extended to his daughter, An Yu-min.

So Letisane even lost her ability to return.

My case was different.

The 3rd power, the Chaos Mirror Prison, is literally a chaotic attribute.

Moreover, Prometheus’ fire was a chaotic spirit created from that mirror.

‘The contagious nature of chaos doesn’t work on me.’

So, when I inherited Letisane’s staff, which contained Letisane’s will.

When I purified all the chaotic thoughts remaining in that will with my fire, the return ability contained in Letisane’s will was revived.

Of course, Letisane has already disappeared.

The system regression ability he had was transferred to me.

‘I don’t know if Letisane even predicted this phenomenon.’

There was no way he didn’t know that it would be difficult for me to deal with An Yu-min right now.

Nevertheless, Letisane showed absolute trust in me.

He was a returner and a great sage. Because I don’t know if it’s really possible to foresee the future.

‘I will not betray that expectation.’

In this way, death and return were repeated 35 times.

Of course, death is a pain I never want to experience again, so I came to truly respect Letisane.

However, the difference between Letisane and me is.

Although he could not find a way to prevent the apocalypse with his own power in the continued regression.

I am slowly finding the clue to that clue.

Mirror power.

There was a hint of this in my awakening ability, which was unique among all awakened people.

“You can’t win if you fight An Yu-min head-on.”

And even if An Yu-min is killed like that, the world will collapse.

So I took the opposite approach.

There is no need to kill her.

On the contrary, I planned to erase myself from her reality.

***

The thoughts continued.

At first glance, the idea seems absurd.

It bit its tail and began to materialize.

‘The 3rd Power Mirror Prison. That is the ability to materialize the world of mirrors.’

I remembered the moment I won against Song Yu-hwan.

The World Tree on fire.

And tens of thousands of mirror prisons reflected the image of the World Tree.

It was not just a reflection of light.

The core trick of my Five Ways was to amplify the world tree with tens of thousands of mirrors on fire, its enormous power, into tens of thousands of mirrors, divide them, and finally realize them at one fixed point.

‘to sum up. It is the realization of the mirror world.’

Of course, not all of those tens of thousands of world trees were real.

The emergence of reality was possible because tens of thousands of false mirror realities were combined at one fixed point.

Then the opposite was also possible.

It is also possible to disintegrate one fixed reality into tens of thousands of false mirror realities.

This is the reverse process of Oh’s Prometheus mirror.

‘If we can tie up the confused An Yu-min through the ideal reality that An Yu-min wants the most.’

The concept began to form in my head.

The idea came to me during the 20th regression.

A theory that is somewhat feasible in today’s reality has been materialized.

The ideal reality that An Yu-min most desires has already been witnessed countless times.

The mirror hotel.

A dream-like reality in which the romance between Ahn Yu-min and I continued unbroken at high school.

Realize that dream into reality.

‘Is it possible. The Hotel of Mirrors was created through Letisane’s three novels.’

I have in my hands the staff of Letisane, which is more compatible than that.

It contains the power of reality change that Letisane attempted.

“If An Yu-min is caught in the false reality called that dream.”

He wants to make me his, even if it means killing me.

A false reality in a dream created by myself, the object of that obsession.

If two people create a dream that leads them to become lovers, even An Yu-min, who has become an evil spirit, will be possessed by that dream for a moment.

‘That moment will be quite short.’

A sweet and happy dream that will never happen.

As she is assimilated into the polluted world tree, she will immediately figure out through her omniscience that the dream is not reality.

Instead, the dream lasts only one second.

This is enough time for the power to be activated.

‘While An Yu-min was confined in that dream prison. All you have to do is split that false reality into tens of thousands of mirror worlds.’

It was like that.

If it were just one reality, An Yu-min might be able to escape his dream.

In tens of thousands of mirror reality.

Ahn Yu-min in countless mirrors will refuse to escape from that sweet dream.

And with your own chaos and the power of the World Tree, you begin to accept that dream as reality.

Rather, not in the mirror world, but in the present reality.

From the real Yumin Ahn.

The presence of ‘villain’ Lee Jun-woo, who is not her lover, will begin to become extremely faint.

‘This is a method I can use since he is very obsessed with me.’

In order to make that abstract concept concrete, it needed to be organized once again.

In short, just like Ahn Yu-min, who became a villain, did.

The dream that An Yu-min and I are dating is temporarily realized into reality with the power of change contained in the staff.

Afterwards, the false reality is replicated into tens of thousands of mirror worlds.

Because of An Yu-min’s obsession with me, he awakened the power of chaos and became the embodiment of chaos.

When An Yu-min wakes up from a brief dream and returns to reality.

Rather than becoming her lover, the miserable reality exists before my eyes as I try to kill her.

Of course, this is a reality that An Yu-min does not want to believe.

So, a tug-of-war will begin between the single miserable reality and the reality of tens of thousands of sweet dreams.

It is obvious which side will win.

An Yu-min will use all of his omniscience as the embodiment of chaos to maintain that false reality.

‘No matter how much it is a mirror world, the world is the world.’

If he tries to maintain those tens of thousands of worlds, An Yu-min’s omniscience will inevitably crack.

Moreover, there is only one reality.

In that reality, I would rather be erased from An Yu-min.

‘To hold on to those tens of thousands of false dreams. In order to maintain the ‘Lee Jun-woo’ of the mirror world, I will completely forget who I am in real life.’

It means that I forget my very existence, like an amnesiac.

This was the concept of new death that I was able to summarize through the deaths I had experienced so far.

‘In order to manifest those tens of thousands of mirror worlds… even if you have Letisane’s staff, you need magic calculations and time to manifest the spell.’

Although my talents as a wizard were not perfect.

Letisane’s staff not only passed down the ability to return, but also passed on his knowledge as an archmage.

If there was enough time, the ‘mirror world creation’ in theory could be realized.

“You’re finally here. I really missed you.”

Meanwhile, we arrived at the Temple of Chaos.

And the battle that followed.

“Why… Why can’t you choose me!!!! Can’t you love me again instead of Choi Hana?”

Without fail, I was killed by An Yu-min.

Endless death.

But my spirit and destiny as an unknown remained unchanged.

Until the 926th death.

Even amidst countless deaths.

As Villain Unknown, I could think of everything I owned.

‘I will never, ever have what I have taken away.’

And it will reign in a new world.

I completed the 926th mirror world creation technique just before my death.

It even surpasses the tertiary power.

The fourth power. By entering the realm of reality modification.

We returned to the starting point of the regression.

“Don’t die… Survive and see you again.”

“Junwoo Lee! Be sure to come back alive!!!”

After returning back, I said hello to the two people at Ignition.

I went down the stairs towards the temple.

An area where Ahn Yu-min’s chaos has a direct impact, starting from the stairs.

“Retisane. This may be the worst ending for your daughter. There is nothing we can do.”

Now it was time to put an end to that bad relationship.

“You’re finally here. I really missed you.”

It was An Yu-min that I had already seen over 900 times.

Just like Letisane’s 3rd Miracle created the Hotel of Mirrors.

Instead of answering An Yu-min, he immediately created a dream in the Temple of Chaos.

And An Yu-min’s expression soon became hazy.

“Okay… you finally came back to me! I’m happy. Now I can have a happy time with you, Junwoo, without any bitches bothering me. Forever!!”

The false dream of An Yu-min and I becoming lovers again became active.

Ahn Yu-min’s wish, which she never wanted to wake up from, overtook her reality.

It is a false dream created against the omniscience of chaos.

The duration is only 1 second.

But it was enough time to copy that false dream into tens of thousands of mirror worlds.

“Huh? How… Oh, no!!!”

An Yu-min’s expression became urgent.

A midday dream. A daydream that slips away like grains of sand held in hand.

It’s a lie, but tens of thousands of sweet dreams.

Among the miserable reality of losing her relationship with me, the side she would choose was already decided.

“Ah…”

Ahn Yu-min, who was controlling the Temple of Chaos with omniscience.

That overwhelming dominance began to fade.

A world of tens of thousands of mirrors.

In order to hold on to that false dream, the omniscience of chaos is being consumed as if evaporating.

Although she had the appearance of a young woman.

With just his presence, the intimidating feeling of An Yu-min, who felt like the world itself, was disappearing.

Of course, his presence alone makes him stronger than Song Yu-hwan.

Compared to An Yu-min before his return, who was an evil spirit himself, I was not afraid at all.

Finally, that omniscience took away all the tens of thousands of mirror worlds I had created.

It means that the ownership of your dream has been taken away.

Of course, Su-man’s dream of becoming a lover with An Yu-min.

To me, it was as meaningless as a 10 won coin lying on the side of the road.

The mana consumed in maintaining the mirror world came back to me.

And I looked at An Yu-min in front of me.

Tears were flowing down her cheeks.

But what she said soon followed.

I could sense that all bad relations with An Yu-min were over.

“Who are you?”

An Yu-min was shedding tears non-stop.

She had no memory of who I was.
