5 years

I approached the place pointed by the strongest Martin.

It was obviously a space where there was nothing, but as I got closer, I saw something.

‘Outside… … .’

Finally, I can get an external force too!

Without hesitation, I threw myself into the fountain of external force.

And at that very moment, change began.

woo woo woo-

the universe collapses

from far outside.

You can’t see it, but you can feel it.

Just in case, I turned my eyes and looked at the black hole.

‘this… … .’

size is decreasing.

It looks like it will close soon.

“Kuk!”

An external force breaks through the double divine power Martin gave me and wraps around my body.

I couldn’t escape the bondage.

‘Something’s wrong.’

I quickly shouted to the Transcendentalists.

“hey!”

They looked around, sensing something strange, then turned to me, and I shouted again.

“The universe is collapsing! Get out of here before the door closes!”

Despite my cries, none of them went out.

Rather, it started coming towards me.

But it shouldn’t be.

Now that I can’t move my body due to external force, I know.

‘Even a transcendental person cannot go against an external force.’

They also have an intuition that if they are touched by an external force, they will be unable to move like me.

And that the outside forces don’t seem to be very favorable to them.

“Oh, don’t come!”

Then they stopped.

But it wasn’t just my irritation that caused them to stop.

[Martin! you… … .]

Horn is pointing his finger at me. When I look down, I see that my body has turned black due to the ‘external force’.

“It’s not too late.”

Latun said that and threw himself away.

However, as if time was rewinding, his body went back to the transcendentalists.

Latun glared at Loki, the man who had made him that way.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t disturb Martin.”

“Why am I disturbing that child? I’m just trying to save you!”

“That should be released soon.”

Latun frowned.

“Let go when I say nice things. I can force it.”

“Do it if you can.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Because try it. That’s not going to happen.”

“… I’m sorry, Loki. Suck!”

Colossal divine power emanated from Latun.

However, Loki’s divine power binding him was immovable.

‘Wow… … .’

I was honestly surprised.

Aside from the reason Loki suddenly blocks Rathun, he didn’t know he could force Ratoon’s movements.

‘Is it because of that?’

A purple light emanated from Loki’s eyes.

The only thing that Loki is different from usual is that.

“You are different from Martin. If you touch it, you die.”

“I’ll get you out of there before I die!”

At Latun’s words, Loki shook his head.

“That’s not good for Martin.”

“you… What do you know?”

“Well… … .”

Interesting.

To the point where I want to keep watching the conversation between the two if there is time.

but now i have to go

The size of the black hole has become so small that after a while no one seems to be able to get out there.

“Let’s go now.”

The two of them kept their mouths shut at my words.

“I’m going back somehow. You two know who I am, right?”

They both looked at me with serious faces.

Perhaps both of them are reminded of the fact that I can regress.

‘Well, I don’t think it’s going well.’

Regression is an ability based on my characteristics.

At other times, it is impossible to guarantee a return in the field where external forces, which are omnipotent power itself, are involved.

Still, I want them back.

I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope the world won’t be broken when I go back.

“Please protect the three worlds until I return.”

The outsider didn’t die.

just got weaker

If those transcendents, who know the power of outsiders, protect those worlds, I think I can absorb the external forces with ease.

“… It may not be like you think.”

Seeing as I pinched the possibility of not returning, it seems that Latun recognized the greatness of this external force at least a little.

In this situation, there is only one thing I can say.

“Believe me.”

Latun loosened his frozen face.

“Don’t die, come back safely, junior.”

“yes.”

He coolly turned around and flew to the door.

The other transcendentalists also followed Latun, leaving support to believe and wait.

There is only one transcendent left, Loki.

He was still looking at me with purple eyes.

“why? Do you have something to say?”

he replied.

“Come as slowly as possible.”

It seems like you know something.

But I didn’t ask what it was.

He just nodded.

“okay.”

“Then see you again.”

Loki slightly bowed his head to say goodbye and returned to Earth with the Transcendentalists waiting near the door.

“… … .”

It’s a weird feeling when I’m alone.

Do you think it’s like going back to the original?

I shook my head and let go of unnecessary emotions.

Right now, it’s a situation where you don’t know what will happen if you focus only on surviving.

‘I can’t go out through the door.’

The door had become so small that it was almost invisible.

In order to go back, you must eventually use an external force.

“This is going to be a tough time… … .”

I closed my eyes feeling the external force build up to my neck before I knew it.

* * *

[…] In this way, I made a contract with the planet Calatamus. This case will bring great benefits to our Pangea.]

When Pellus, who was originally a resident of the demon realm and survived until the end and became a renowned minister of Pangea, finished his report, Kater nodded.

[Roden will envy you. Good work.]

Cater’s praise filled Pelus’ heart with happiness.

[I have a request for you!]

[What?]

[I want to make a statue of the demon king with adamantium and put it up in the central square! Please allow me!]

[Well? my statue? Why?]

[Adamantium is a precious commodity that surpasses even Mithril… ! I don’t think there is any mineral more suitable for establishing the status of the Demon King. Please allow me!]

Carter put on a puzzled expression.

[I think it would be a bit of a waste to make something like a statue with that precious ore.]

[Waste! Demon King is Pangea itself… … ! just… light! The Demon King is… … .]

Phelus ardently praised Kater, who was right in front of him.

Since this had happened not once or twice, Carter listened in one ear and let it out through the other, then waved his hand when Pellus’s mouth closed.

[I get it. You have to figure it out.]

[thank you! I will find the best craftsman and make the best statue!]

[…] Okay, is this the end of the report?]

[That’s right!]

[Then go out and see. Good work, Phellus.]

[It’s just an honor to be able to work for the Demon King!]

Pellus bowed ninety degrees and walked toward the door. Then he flinched and turned around.

[Is there anything left to report?]

[sorry. The Grand Duchess of Loden is waiting for you.]

[Alin?]

[yes.]

Carter nodded with a calm expression.

[Right. Another year has passed.]

[…] Should I go back?]

[not. Let it in.]

[Yes, Demon King.]

When Pellus left, Cater’s face darkened rapidly.

[after… … .]

Five years ago, Kater and Roden’s superhumans were able to reach their destination, the Demon Castle, comfortably without any obstruction thanks to Lamune. However, it was not Martin and Lamune that greeted them, but the demonic castle surrounded by light.

Sensing that something unusual was going on inside, they approached the light and soon found two people knocking on it.

They were Leon and Krishnar, who started out with Martin.

-What the hell happened, Leon!

-Patriarch… … .

After hearing the general story from Leon, Pedro decided to break through the light and go inside.

The superhumans of Roden and the demons of Pangea helped Pedro.

But no one could pierce the wall of light.

Pedro, Yeomma, and even Cater who borrowed the power of the Demon King’s sword.

Fortunately, the light went away on its own after a while.

However, the sight revealed after the light disappeared, those who were there could not hide their astonishment.

It was because the Demon King, which was supposed to be inside, was not visible.

Is that all?

The Demon King and Martin, as well as the Transcendentalists, were nowhere to be seen.

When everyone was panicking in an unexpected situation, someone ran to announce the news of Earth.

There was a black hole in the sky, and it was that the souls of the dead were sucked into it.

Pedro instinctively sensed that the phenomenon had something to do with Martin, and immediately set foot back to Earth with the others.

But back on Earth, they couldn’t meet Martin.

I could only see the sky of the Earth, which was different from before.

The sky, which had been thick with black mist, was clear.

-Martin… … .

At that time, when the earthlings shouting hurray and the superhumans of Darlene Roden were feeling ominous for no reason, a transcendental person came.

Surprisingly, he was Latun, the second hero of Roden.

Latun explained to the superhumans what had happened inside, and Pedro returned to Roden that same day and began confining himself.

It was around that time that Arlene first came to Kater.

And since then, for the past five years, she has been visiting Kater every year on this day.

Knock knocking knocked Kater out of his thoughts.

[Come in.]

The door opened and Arlene came in.

After looking at her for a moment, Kater sighed and asked.

[Is it necessary to come here every year like this?]

The relationship between the two could not be said to be good.

When he was at the training center, Kater tried to kill Martin using various methods, and Arlene secretly protected Martin from such Kater, and even tried to kill him on the day he escaped from the training center.

It is said that Kater became a little better when he became a member of Martin’s, but that was only it.

The two still couldn’t mix like water and oil, and they were uncomfortable with each other.

But after Martin disappeared, Arlene became a different person.

She didn’t care one bit about Carter’s feelings.

He just came back on the same day every year and asked the same question over and over again.

“What about your brother?”

[none. Still, it’s clear that he’s safe.]

If Martin had died, he would have either disappeared or gone through some change.

Because he is a member of Martin’s family.

[If I find out something about Martin, I’ll tell you first, even if you don’t do this. So why don’t we wait patiently from now on? I heard that you live a bit rough these days.]

Cracks appear on Aline’s expressionless face, and several emotions dwell.

Negative things like anger and irritation.

“Never mind. Don’t tell me this or that.”

Cater trembled.

Five years ago, Aline, who was called Trinity and was treated as a goddess, is a figure that could never be imagined.

‘To live like this… … .’

Aline is a trainee who was raised as a villain. It also had very good grades.

It means that I was already able to handle living from a young age.

But the life she exudes now is different from then.

Living wild and uncontrolled.

She wasn’t in control of living at all.

[They say they’ve been beating the villains without eating properly or sleeping lately?]

“I told you to stop worrying.”

[Recently, I heard that they went all the way to Earth and made a fuss. Martin will be very happy to see you when he comes back.]

In an instant, the air trembled.

Cater pursed her lips at the sight of Arlene approaching, leaving behind an afterimage.

‘When did he become so strong.’

Carter admired and grabbed Aline’s wrist.

Even if he has become stronger, this is Pangea and he himself is the Demon King.

Aline couldn’t be her opponent.

[Do it in moderation.]

However, Arlene burst into laughter as Kater grabbed her wrist.

And then Carter felt a slight pain in his cheek.

[you… … .]

He feels blood trickling down Arlene’s untouched cheek.

‘Nonsense.’

To scar oneself in Pangea, not anywhere else.

It is impossible.

Shocked, Carter quickly let go of his hand and stepped back to examine Arlene.

‘Unbelievable… … .’

I can’t see the mysterious power that just hurt my cheek.

But it’s not gone.

It was invisible, but the power still existed.

shock-

Even though Arlene didn’t do anything, this time blood trickled down the other cheek.
