Destruction is coming.

Now it has reached a stage where it cannot be hidden with lies.

The sky is gradually turning purple.

The ‘big thing’ floating around in space is gradually starting to reveal itself.

“Coming!”

The dimensional body, Draken, is descending on this world.

It looks like a black tentacle hundreds of millions of times the size approaching a small planet.

People still on earth will only feel that the sky is strange.

As I board the airship and look at space from high in the sky, I feel like I can’t breathe.

“You can cut that thing…?”

Jill said, looking at me with her mouth wide open.

Can you cut that thing?

The blunt answer is that it is possible.

Now I am able to freely handle dramatic situations.

We are clearly facing an enemy of overwhelming dimensional scale.

It feels amazing, but there is no feeling of helplessness or fear of not being able to cut that thing down.

There is nothing you can’t cut if you try to cut it.

Because the light of the extreme can penetrate without being blocked by anything and cut through anything.

However, if there is still something to worry about…

“A sword that cuts through the essence. That’s how I named it. No matter how much I look, I can’t figure out the true nature of that guy. So I won’t cut you.”

“······.”

I call it a sword that cuts through the essence of this drama.

It is a sword that penetrates beneath the symbol of an object and cuts and destroys its essence.

Of course, even if you don’t understand the essence, there is no problem in cutting it…

I have no intention of cutting down something whose essence I cannot see.

Just as a swordsman does not swing a sword without knowing what he is cutting.

To be extreme without knowing its true nature is to deny the path I have taken so far.

And more than anything, I have a hunch that within the essence of Draken lies the answer I have been searching for.

That’s a very strong intuition too.

First of all, it was already clear that the system was connected to Draken.

If so, then maybe the reason for my regression also lies within me.

The suspicion that started with that question has already solidified.

Before I knew it, it had become like a certainty within me.

The moment I cut that thing down, I lose everything.

The reason I had to go back again and again.

The path I walked while swinging my sword.

······And my wives, who were reunited again despite the risk of extinction.

“It’s a stupid reason.”

“Ugh, no. I never thought Eugene was stupid. It won’t happen in the future.”

“I will definitely come back.”

“Really… You only have to say such ominous things once…”

Jill came to me crying, probably remembering old memories.

In Jill’s hand, a dagger containing our memories was held.

With a sharp click, the tip of the knife sinks into my chest.

“This dagger has the history of a saint engraved on it. Not only me, but the history of countless saints that this dagger passed through. It has never been used until now, so its history remains intact, but I think now is the time to use it.”

“······.”

“On earth, all the believers are praying for you, Eugene. Their will and faith will all be with Eugene.”

“I don’t believe in that religion, is it okay to do this?”

“What does it matter whether you believe it or not? It is a divine power because it helps even those who do not believe. Close your eyes, Eugene.”

“I closed it.”

“May the saint’s protection protect you…”

Jill makes the sign of the cross and twists the dagger stuck in my chest.

Then, a bright light began to emanate from the dagger.

At some point, it becomes a halo of light and seeps into my heart.

Quack!

I feel a dagger stuck inside me.

A panoramic view of the snowy field unfolds when you close your eyes.

In the middle of it all, a dagger is stuck.

It’s not just that the blade has sunk slightly into the ground.

It’s solid, as if it’s rooted downwards.

It seems like he has a determined will not to be selected no matter what happens.

“Did you come?”

Then, below, the hull of an airship emerges through the dark clouds.

An airship rising at an almost vertical angle.

In the back, a huge engine shoots out flames, increasing altitude at an incredible speed.

“Has the renovation been completed?”

-Ugh, uhm…! Wow, just now! Okay, finished! This is the way to go after takeoff!

“Good job.”

There is a hint of pride in Yulia’s voice coming through the communication.

The time given was less than three days.

In that short period of time, the airship was quickly remodeled to enable it to go into space.

“How did you solve the problem?”

Anyway, what kind of magic did you use?

I heard that if you install a flame magic engine on an airship, you are having a hard time because there is no way to cool it down…

-Well, the most efficient cooling device happened to be nearby…

-So, I, the King of Falana and the Frost Lord, am acting like an engine cooler!

Yerina’s irritated voice made me burst into laughter.

Well, no matter what method you use, you just have to solve the immediate problem first, which is the basic mindset of an engineer.

There’s no need to mass-produce this, and it doesn’t matter because it’s just a one-time process.

In that respect, using Yerina as a cooler was the best choice.

Among coolers the size of a human being, Yerina will truly achieve the highest efficiency.

“I’ll go and come back.”

“······Yes.”

After lightly kissing Jill’s lips, I grabbed Mijeong’s hand and jumped off the airship.

The magic of telekinesis controlled the falling speed.

We were able to easily land and board the soaring, converted airship.

“Si, you did it on time! Somehow!”

“They said there were a lot of defects, but they somehow solved them all.”

“Yes, yes! The cooling problem was solved using Frost Lord!”

“You talk about people like objects, this mad scientist!”

“The direction change problem was solved by using a wind wizard because there was not enough space to install a sprayer that would shoot out compressed air!”

Now that I think about it, I wondered why Alicia was there.

It appears to have been none other than the part(?) responsible for changing the direction of the airship.

No, no matter how wild you are, you only need to roll once, but isn’t this a bit too much? I wanted to, but decided not to complain.

If Yulia decided that this was the best, it meant that there was no better option than this.

“But why was he brought here?”

“Hwaaaa! I didn’t finish it!!!”

I wondered who the guy in the corner, with soot on his face, was concentrating.

It was none other than Cairn’s daughter.

It appears that the wind-up machine was not completed to the requested specifications on time.

There are still no output devices such as limbs, eyes, vocal cords, etc.

Even though only the motherboard is being manufactured, it is still unfinished.

Why is there so much creaking right from the start…?

“I won’t disturb you, so keep working.”

“Yes, four! Ugh…”

Be determined.

Even though it’s a messy plan, I believe it will succeed and will continue until the end.

Believe.

I believe in Jill, I believe in Yulia, I believe in Yerina, I believe in Alicia and Kern and his daughter.

That’s all.

“Three, I will revise the route using the data obtained from the prophecy of the World Tree…”

Did you say that Mia and the world tree were prophesying excessively?

It is said that as a result of pouring out prophecies by drawing on all the spiritual energy of the future, the outline of the future began to be seen to some extent.

The optimal route thus selected is the route we are currently taking.

“Unnamed. Su, su… That 9th level magic. What was it?”

“Spirit Redemption. Casting completed. The quality of the magic stone is so good that it seems like it can be maintained permanently.”

The 9th rank magic settles in the magic stone processed by Tei.

It is complex and unstable, so it is considered impossible to maintain semi-permanently from the 8th level.

Tei’s magic stone did the job proudly.

It is not even semi-permanent; it is permanent and lasts forever as long as the magic stone is not broken.

“Hu······. So, are you telling me to make a huge dimensional body like this and put it in this booger-sized machine?”

“I understood it correctly.”

“Haaa…”

Anonymous walked next to me and asked, closing his eyes tightly and sighing as the hull disappeared.

Even when I first heard about the operation, he didn’t seem very interested.

Now that he is witnessing the true nature of Draken, he seems to be realizing how absurd this operation is.

Although my hands are shaking.

As soon as I clenched my fist, the trembling subsided.

It seems that Nameless has also made up his mind.

“Well, until now, I had no idea why I was born in this world. I thought it was just a bug created due to an error in the world… Now I see it. I was born for today.”

“······.”

Suddenly, what Temulen said came to mind.

Obscurity is a being created by my will by infusing meaning into meaningless dregs.

Perhaps my will at that time unconsciously assumed today and awakened this ability.

While stroking the head of Unknown, who smiles confidently.

The airship accelerated further and was about to get closer to Draken.

“What! It may seem absurd, but I’ll give it a try anyway-”

|Hyaaagh!!!!!!!|

A feeling of intimidation accompanied by powerful shock waves.

As a result, in an instant, the faces of all the crew members, including Mu-myeong, turned pale.

My body becomes stiff.

In an instant, the airship lost its balance, stumbled, and became unmanageable.

“Ah, ah…?!”

“This is a twist.”

Even though not even 1% of his true body has descended yet, this level of intimidation?

I didn’t expect this.

Cold sweat began to flow.
