I’m here!

A quiet square.

Everyone’s eyes are on the sky.

Arias robbed everyone’s eyes just by revealing her body.

He deserved it too.

It must have been a while since the dragon disappeared.

It was my first time seeing it myself, but the majesty of the dragon was far greater than I had imagined. Enough to momentarily forget the rumbling gate.

‘As expected, the strongest species!’

I looked around.

I no longer feel fear in the crowd that surrounds me.

Arias’s presence cleared the confusion.

After a while, the first to come to their senses and start moving were the paladins.

They dutifully commanded the crowd to retreat from the gate, and the crowd silently followed the Paladins’ instructions. Looking at Arias, who was still floating in the air.

“Arias!”

her eyes turn to me

It seems to be true that it is possible to control the ‘peer’ in the state of the main body.

It is nothing to do with the huge eyes of the long-slit reptile.

“Come down.”

She will have to step out again later if necessary.

[i get it.]

A bright light emanated again, and Arias, transformed into a human, jumped down beside me.

It seems that she decided to take the place of the saintess who should have been here.

But where did the saintess go?

* * *

About 20 minutes ago.

The saintess blushed at the behavior of Martin staring at her face.

“Well, if you stare at me like that… … .”

“ah! I’m sorry.”

“no… … .”

I honestly don’t feel bad.

That’s because the Martin I met in person was much cooler than I saw in the video.

Even though he is still a young Martin, facing him like this, he absolutely does not look like a fourteen-year-old boy.

For some reason, Martin, who gave off a slightly different atmosphere from ordinary people, was the hero chosen by God himself.

‘I must have forgotten what happened earlier?’

My face still burns when I think of how I loved it when we first met and screamed like a madman. Fortunately, Martin didn’t seem to care.

‘Thank you, Leto.’

How many mistakes I would have made if Leto hadn’t stabbed my side next to me… … .

Fortunately, after that mistake, she acted gracefully, as she had learned in the Aristocrat Etiquette class.

‘I’m glad I didn’t fall asleep in class.’

While the saintess was feeling proud inside, the cardinal came in and informed her that it was time to leave.

‘after… I have to do well.’

Seeing Martin standing there calmly, as if he wasn’t nervous at all, I feel like my tension disappears at the same time.

“let’s go.”

The saintess smiled at Martin’s back as she walked forward.

‘I have to show off my divine power after a long time.’

It was the time when the saintess stepped out, thinking that she would make Martin stand out by sitting next to him.

Wheein-

A chilling wind blows from somewhere, the world turns golden and everything in sight stops.

Martin, who had been walking in front of him, also naturally stopped with one foot in the air.

‘what?’

A familiar voice came to the saintess’s ears as she was puzzled.

[My child.]

‘Roden?’

The owner of the voice was Roden, the only god of the planet Roden.

[My child. The role given to you is really great.]

‘What do you mean? Why did time stop again?’

[Twisted cause and effect to maintain my existence.]

‘To maintain existence? Is anyone hurting Roden? And what do you mean by twisting causality?’

The saintess could not understand what Roden was saying.

[You have already seen Earth.]

‘Right.’

[The passage that connects my world and the earth does not just happen by chance.]

‘… Are you saying it was Roden-nim who made the gate?’

[To connect my world and the earth, I have to build a door on both sides. I didn’t do it alone.]

‘It means that you joined forces with the god of the earth.’

[There is no dominant god on Earth. It only intervenes indirectly, such as gathering several gods who already have their own realm and empowering the mortals there in the form of an alliance. It is correct that I agreed with the coalition.]

The saintess narrowed her eyes at the unimaginable truth.

Why did you even join forces with the gods of Earth?

[How was the Earth?]

‘It wasn’t bad. Should I say it looked a bit comfortable?’

[But the mortals there were not comfortable from the beginning. It was originally a world without magical powers. I lived much more fiercely than my children. They said they had to do anything to survive. It is said that it has been less than a hundred years since the superhuman appeared.]

‘There were quite a few superhumans who looked strong for that.’

[It’s because of the indirect divine intervention I told you about earlier.]

Why does God keep talking about the earth while stopping time?

[My dear daughter. Earth will soon be destroyed.]

The saintess opened her eyes wide in surprise.

‘Why?’

[that… I can’t tell you.]

‘ah… … .’

[However, it is only the earth that is destroyed, not the living things that live in it.]

Only then did the saintess know what Roden wanted to say.

‘I’ll be damned anyway… You want to bring the strong people from there here.’

changed from definite to indeterminate,

To use it as a force to escape from the crisis of destruction of Roden that will come soon.

[You don’t have to be strong. I love all mortals.]

‘So what am I supposed to do?’

[Martin, tell Martin what you and I have just talked about.]

‘He’s the hero Roden-nim appointed. Why don’t you speak directly?’

[I… I. Martin, I don’t want to get involved with the taker. He became a hero because he acknowledged and accepted it himself, but if he refused, I wouldn’t be able to make him a hero. ah… Is this also his play?]

Roden speaks as if Martin were on the same level as himself.

The saintess couldn’t understand that.

‘He’s just a human like me! He’s Lord Roden’s son!’

[That’s not right. He’s not just a human being. How can you call him a human being who can take away everything that exists in the world, including humans, transcendental beings, gods, and even the origin of the universe?]

Roden’s voice was calm, but the saintess felt tremendous passion inside.

As the saintess felt, Roden was clearly wary of Martin.

‘I don’t understand why Roden-nim is so wary of Martin. Jeong then just… … .’

[Wouldn’t it be okay if I killed him?]

The saintess closed her eyes tightly.

It seems that he was also excited about a conversation with a god he had never experienced before.

‘I’m sorry. I thought I wasn’t worthy of Roden’s daughter.’

[Whoops, no. I understand you, my dear daughter. But remember this. Killing him is pointless.]

‘… I’m not capable of that. Even so, I don’t want to kill him.’

[It doesn’t mean you’re going to kill him. just remember that fact. However, don’t tell him anything about Martin during our conversation.]

I don’t know why, but the saintess nodded.

‘I’ll do that. But what does it mean for me to have a big role?’

[You will need this power.]

Shaaa-

The golden light that had previously filled the waiting room became even darker, and some of it began to be sucked into the saintess’ body.

The saintess closed her eyes at the distant feeling, and soon Roden’s last words were heard in her ears.

[You must not fight them, daughter. Just hold on.]

whoop-

The wind blew again, and the saintess opened her eyes.

What she saw was the world she had seen a while ago.

bread-

I turned around at the loud noise I heard from behind, and there was a block of iron with four wheels standing there.

Unlike before, the saintess walked toward the sidewalk without haste.

“Look at that foreigner. So pretty. Are you a celebrity?”

“Can’t you see the clothes? be a hunter As you can see, clothes are also items.”

That’s what I heard then.

The saintess was able to see how they recognized her in her wisdom and how they were able to have a conversation.

‘My coming here was a foreknowledge in itself.’

Is this also the result of the agreement between Father Roden and the earth gods?

The saintess began to walk, lost in thought.

The place she was heading to was where there was a gate that would appear in a moment.

T-ring- T-ring- T-ring-

Notification sounds coming from people’s clothes all at once.

Not long after, the super-human he saw in his foreknowledge is seen screaming to quickly go to the shelter and quickly running towards the gate.

She continued walking and after a while came to a barricade.

“stop! This is a Danger Zone! please go back! what? foreigner? Hmmm, this is a danger zone! Please go back!”

Just like the last time, I showed my magic to the man who said the same thing twice and went inside.

She didn’t go up to the roof of the building with a clear view of the gate like the last time.

I just walked straight towards the gate.

“What, what are you doing! Dangerous!”

When someone approached the gate and saw her, he shouted with pride.

Feeling the attention naturally focused on her, she turned around and looked at the superhumans of Earth.

And he opened his mouth.

“I am not an Earthling.”

A quiet space.

The one who responded to her words was an old man with a greatsword on his back.

“Then where are you from?”

“Roden. This is the man of the world you will see through the gate that will soon open.”

The old man’s eyes twinkled.

“You are someone who truly believes in that. This is difficult… … .”

The saintess could see that the old man had eyes that could detect lies.

“I am not crazy. Shall we prove it? where… there! You.”

The woman pointed out by the saintess stood up in surprise.

“Me, me?”

“Yes, you. you… Do you have the power of a god?”

“Uh, how… … .”

Just like women, she is a saint who uses the power of the gods, so you can tell at a glance.

“But you can only use the power that God gives you.”

“… Right.”

The saintess took her eyes off the sullen woman and looked at the old man.

“This should prove that I’m not crazy, right?”

The old man frowned.

“Most of the Hunters here have received strength from the Constellations.”

The saintess realized why Roden gave her strength before coming here.

‘It was meant to be used at a moment like this.’

Hwaaa-

The power of the source from Roden radiates from her body, illuminating the space around her.

A force so pure, so intense, so alien.

The startled old man took a few steps back and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Hey, stop it. There’s no way I wouldn’t believe this.”

The old man asked the saintess who grinned while recovering her strength.

“How did you, a person from another world, come to Earth?”

“Is that important?”

“Important. Because your coming means someone else might come to Earth.”

The saintess gave a small smile.

“Did you forget what I said?”

“… … ?”

“That gate. I told you that it is connected to where I lived. That means how did I get here… I mean it’s not that important. From now on, anyone who wishes will be able to cross over here through that gate.”

The atmosphere is buzzing.

It was because the Earthlings were as afraid of The Gate as much as the Lodens, or rather, the Earthlings. Even more so, isn’t the level of that gate ‘impossible to measure’?

The old man glared at the saintess for a while and asked.

“What do you want?”

The saintess smiled and replied.

“Conversation. and peace.”

“… Are you sure the people of your world will not attack Earth?”

“I told you. He wants to talk.”

“So you’re not the one we’re talking to.”

“Right. The person at the top when that gate opens. He is the one who represents us. How would you like to meet me?”

The old man shook his head.

“I’m just as undeserving as you are.”

“Then, once you’ve decided on a representative, ask them to come to the gate.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and approached the rift, and no one stopped her.

And by the time she was almost at the rift, the gate was complete.

‘Same as Yeji… I don’t lose.’

Beyond the gate, Martin is standing on the highest platform.

What is different from Yeji’s image is that Aunt Queen is by his side when he should be alone.

Seeing that, she crossed the gate and narrowed her brows for a while, but the saintess smiled brightly and waved her hand.

“I’m here!”
