103. Nothing

“…and now is the time.”

The story is over.

Kim Woo-jin snapped his fingers in front of Yulia’s eyes, who couldn’t get out of the afterglow of the story.

thump-

As if released from hypnosis, she flinched.

“…you’ve had a lot going on.”

“A lot happened.”

“You must hate the gods.”

“Well, it’s true that I received mercy.”

No matter what the purpose was, without that petty mercy, Kim Woo-jin would not have survived.

“But wait a minute.”

“why?”

“Did the story end strangely?”

“Is it strange? As for the next story, I just ended up being tortured for 20 years before being appointed as the warden of Purgatory?”

“No, not the warden.”

What’s missing? After thinking for a while, Yulia soon found the answer.

“Said! So, what happened to Seide? Heard he was chewed up by an arch-lich dragon! Not at all!”

Seid was alive until the Arch Lich Dragon was subdued and he fought the gods. But it didn’t come out at the end of the story.

“Ah, that…”

“it?”

“It’s bullshit.”

“Do you think I heard wrong?”

“There I was taken and brought here. The story after that is fine.”

“Where are you talking so irresponsibly! I heard you told me everything!”

“You told me everything I knew.”

“No, that’s right, but…”

“Albenius would know. Didn’t you tell me?”

“The director knew the details, so I told him to listen. Just by giving me a keepsake!”

“If it’s a keepsake, that necklace? long time no see. it.”

Upon receiving the keepsake, Kim Woo-jin opened the necklace. There was a picture of Yulia smiling brightly when she was young.

“But how do you know what happened to Seide?”

“I was scammed.”

“I’ll probably still be alive. I’ll never see you again in my lifetime. Oh, isn’t that how things turned out?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s one of the terms of the contract.”

Among the many clauses that Varian tolerated and Kim Woo-jin added, there was also the safety of Glacc and everyone living there.

However, that condition could never be granted unconditionally from the point of view of the gods.

“Because there are not one or two people who have seen their ugliness.”

They saw God killed by a single creature. A truth that must be forgotten.

The gods put their feet on Kim Woo-jin’s request.

“Instead of not touching it, they said they would cast power on the entire dimension, maybe.”

It was said that the dimension itself was sealed so that no gods could come out or enter it.

“Did they keep their promise?”

“I signed a contract with Akashic Records, so I have no choice but to keep it. I got out right before that.”

Albenius, who had come before he knew it, was sitting on the sofa and calmly crossing his legs.

“You impostor lizard!”

Yulia, who found him, suddenly shouted.

A high elf calling a dragon a lizard. to live long and see Kim Woo-jin ordered a prison guard to order popcorn.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were alive?”

“You didn’t even say you were dead.”

“You made me think he was dead!”

“Admit that part. But I couldn’t help it either. Seid asked me to say his regards and told me never to tell him about the situation he was in. would be worried So I just left it to Kim Woo-jin.”

“You made me feel like I was dead because I didn’t want to let people know that I was locked up for the rest of my life? Is that what you mean?”

“They are still irresponsible.”

Kim Woo-jin clicked his tongue.

“You didn’t trick me into committing me to Purgatory?”

“Of course you were the right person. But even before you came, there was someone to go to. You know that?”

“I know.”

Now there is a high elf who enshrines the World Tree of the Daydram. Originally, he was the one who was going to purgatory.

Julia volunteered to go to Purgatory instead.

I couldn’t help it. At that time, I thought Seide was dead.

Of course, even if he didn’t die, nothing would change. In the end, unless you do something with the gods, it’s the same that you can’t meet them.

“…can we win?”

“You have to win.”

It’s not a matter of winning or not winning. It is a matter of survival and it is a war that must be won.

“…Anyway, it feels good on the inside, but the result is better. I have another reason to win.”

Julia cheered up.

“Did I tell you? Said is like a father.”

“yes. Sayid said you look like a daughter.”

“Why did you act like you didn’t know me when you knew me from the start?”

“Because I was worried and there was no reason to pretend to know.”

“···but. anyway. Sade raised me from a young age. My parents died during the dimensional apocalypse war. Is it about two hundred years old?”

Originally, I had no idea about that part.

“But hearing the warden’s story, I wonder if this is also because of the gods.”

I guess that’s a bit of a guess.

Kim Woo-jin swallowed the words in his heart.

* * *

Albenius and Julia also left. Kim Woo-jin tilted his coffee while looking out the window.

“Are you okay?”

“There is no reason not to be okay.”

Yulia’s credit for coming this far was great. It was nothing to tell such a story of the past.

“Not that. I mean, I missed you.”

“That’s not okay. Don’t be okay.”

It’s a pretty bitter mistake to miss even after all the cards have been played.

The good news is that the contract isn’t over yet. And that there are suitable opponents on this side to deal with the gods.

But don’t trust it too much.

They are arrogant but not stupid, and that arrogance has disappeared thanks to Kim Woo-jin.

“If you were a god, what would you do next?”

“What if I were a god?”

“yes. What if I paid for the education training of arrogant bastards, but it turns out that the training was ransomware?”

“Isn’t that a virus?”

“Similar malware. Even the firewall recognizes ransomware as an antivirus, so it doesn’t get deleted.”

“Then you have to format it.”

“It’s a format…”

That’s the surest way.

However, that is when you substitute it into a computer, and the reality is not so easy.

Ransomware is the contract of Woojin Kim, and the firewall is the contract of Akashic Records. It is said that formatting it and making it a non-existent event eventually interferes with the Akashic Records and invalidates the contract. If that was as easy as it sounds, the gods would have done it right away.

Really, even if you use that method, there is no way to deal with it. Except for gathering forces and developing weapons to prepare for war as now.

“I’d rather be here in a lower dimension.”

If they were in a lower dimension, Yulia and other gods would have limited power, but at least Durishma and Kim Woo-jin were not.

But purgatory was not a lower dimension. Naturally, the gods have no restrictions on projecting power. unless it’s a contract.

“Even so, I have to do the best I can for now.”

He placed growth accelerators on the World Trees, trained Dercain to make weapons that could be used even by the gods, and coordinated them so that those who became gods could handle their powers more smoothly and skillfully.

And···

“Let’s get Durishma out.”

“Is that possible?”

“Since God went through such hardships, they must be very confused. There’s no way the encirclement is intact, unconditionally.”

It is best for Durishma to return to the apocalypse dimension and collect monsters rather than stay here. In addition, it would be better if they brought the warriors whom Albenius sent along and hid them.

“Let’s check it first.”

“I will definitely check it myself. I have to do everything I can for now.”

His senses were talking.

The final battle with the gods is not far away.

“And Varian’s suggestion also smells like shit.”

From the beginning, he did not believe that it was simply to educate the gods. Of course, there are intentions like that, but there must be something else.

What that is will soon become clear. Like it or not.

* * *

– big.

Lily couldn’t hide her disappointment.

– Shorten it. again.

To forget all the fun days we spent together and go around with a different look.

– Wow!

Nar also complained briefly as if he didn’t like it.

“go away.”

The apostle of darkness, Durishma, who is receiving their attention, waved her hands in annoyance.

After consuming the gods, he regained most of his powers through that karma. The body of a small doll has grown to the size of an ordinary troll. I wanted to be in the form of my true self, but I refrained from that because it was a burden on the dimension.

– friend!

– Beep!

“Why am I friends with you young bastards?”

– size?

“I’m dumbfounded, so I don’t know what to say.”

Anyway, this frustrating life of having to deal with these little kids is over now.

The agreement with Kim Woo-jin is over, and the outside has already been confirmed. It was only natural that the main god almost died, but their encirclement became much looser.

With Albenius’ ability, it would be difficult to stealthily escape by aiming for an opening, but it was not impossible.

“Is that possible? lizard?”

“… No, it’s not impossible. What if I get caught on the way?”

Damn it, Albenius, who was seated next to him, grumbled.

“You cannot defeat the gods by seeking only safety.”

“I know, I know.”

– go?

– What?

“Yes, go.”

“I will live and see you again, World Trees.”

The giant and dimension dragon disappeared.

* * *

“…the apostle of darkness has escaped purgatory.”

There is no perfection in this world. The dimension dragon succeeded in hiding itself, but failed to completely hide Durishma’s demonic energy.

There was a small skirmish and five Enforcers were killed. and missed them

“…Are you pursuing?”

“…”

“My Lord.”

“…don’t chase me. There is no point in capturing them or killing them.”

Albitz, who sat in the seat of honor, replied with empty eyes.

“···ha ha ha.”

A dejected laugh rang through the quiet war.

“Barian, Berian, Berian, Berian…!”

Suddenly, the handle of the chair broke. The pure white cold froze everything around. The gods hurriedly raised their divine powers and widened the distance.

“Are you all right?”

Albitz was not normal. Half of the upper body was torn off. The left shoulder and chest were literally annihilated.

Yet he was alive. It was the power of divine power. It was the power of the Lord God.

“Could it be okay?”

Albitz did not give in to Verian. In the Sanctuary of the Akashic Record, he couldn’t use the authority, but he refused and fought anyway.

The result is, of course, defeat. Even so, Varian did not kill him.

‘It’s a stupid choice, but how can I kill you when you still have affection?’

‘Your vain delusion will cause great chaos in the universe. And it will lead the universe to destruction, not just a simple dimension.’

‘No, it’s going to be more stable. Because the real God, not just a lump of will, will rule this world.’

‘Kill me, I never want to see that with my own eyes.’

‘Then no. You are the main god, and as the main god, you have the duty to assist me, who will become the absolute god.’

‘Absolutely? You’re very sick.’

Varian ripped off part of his upper body and restricted his power as a god.

‘First of all, let’s do it like this. When I fully absorb the Akashic Records, I’ll make it clearer.’

‘This son of a bitch…!’

That restriction made Albitz unable to die.

However, it did not control his thoughts.

“Do nothing. Whatever Kim Woo-jin does.”

“but···.”

“Now that it’s like this, don’t you think my words sound like words?”

“Oh no!”

The gods shivered in the cold chill. No matter how restricted it was, the principal was the principal. A few normal scenes could easily be frozen.

I didn’t want to do anything. It made no sense.

I never thought I would feel this way in my life, but I wished that Kim Woo-jin would kill Verian.

Even if it’s not that, it’s the same.

If Varian succeeds in absorbing the Akashic Records, it won’t matter what Kim Woo-jin does.

Albitz, who looked away from them with ferocious eyes, buried himself in a chair and closed his eyes.

The cleanly torn shoulder throbbed.
