“let’s go.”

Efficiency is an important issue.

The time given to Kim Woo-jin is limited. Before the prisoner arrives, you have to finish everything and go back.

Originally, Kim Woo-jin’s plan was to sell his own feet. Go to the grand prize group or the auction house and place a request or purchase.

However, the process was omitted because there was a top rank in the corps among Yulia’s colleagues.

Since the highest quality elixir is not very common or easy to obtain, I have had time to spare.

In the meantime, Kim Woo-jin met the World Tree and decided to come.

“Are you going already?”

“I’ll be back.”

“If you have any problems, please contact me. No matter how you look at it, that’s a monster.”

“But why carrots?”

“The symbol at the top is a carrot.”

The two of them departed from the top, being escorted by Daisy, who cautiously handed Yulia a carrot-shaped communication tool.

Julia unfolded the map.

“The elves of the Daydram established a kingdom. Phillips, a high elf, is the king. It’s quite a distance from the current Bargan Kingdom.”

“It is a kingdom.”

It’s not that rare. Elves unite around the World Tree, and there is usually only one World Tree per dimension.

It is close to impossible for multiple world trees to coexist. Just as there cannot be two kings in one country, the same can be said for the number of the world.

“Is the moving magic circle an active world?”

Depending on the magical development of the dimension, there were places where there is and where there is not.

“I have it. It wasn’t originally on the side of the elves, but when I was a hero, I installed it in the nearest village in the forest.”

Exchange was necessary for the union, and by the time Yulia left, the small town had developed into a large city.

Burtain is right there.

“It has grown so much. Compared to before I left, it seems to have grown more than 1.5 times.”

“You don’t have to ask where to go.”

Outside the window, you can see the forest far away from the city walls. And beyond that, I saw a huge tree.

The World Tree, which has lived for 10,000 years, is like a pillar supporting the world. The stem that pierced the sky could not easily determine its end.

“I was waiting.”

And, funny enough, I didn’t even have to look for it. After leaving the Imperial Mage Tower branch where the space movement magic circle was installed, an elf spoke to me.

It was a common elf, nothing special.

“The mother tree sent it.”

However, the story is different for the lion of the world tree.

“Lord Balach.”

“It’s been a while, Yulia. It is an honor to see you again.”

Perhaps conscious of the surroundings, the elf’s voice was extremely low, but there was no problem for the two superhumans to hear it.

“It is an honor to meet the great man.”

“I am not a dragon.”

“However, I know that even a dragon is someone who dares not do anything wrong. More than that, I don’t know because my ability is low.”

“Your words are clearing water.”

“I will guide you.”

“please.”

Ballach led the two out of the city. As we got closer to the forest, we saw a line of people.

“These are those who want to enter the forest. Since we started interacting with the association, there are many people who come to us every day.”

The purpose is diverse. I simply want to see the elves, I want to rest or train in the forest full of spirit, I want to trade with the elves.

The elves allowed some areas of the forest to other races, and the main encounters were made there.

“This is a byway.”

“Yeah. Don’t you want your coming to be revealed?”

But not all places were open. In the elven forest, there were more places that were not open than places that were open.

“This is a place not well patrolled by the keepers of the forest. The mother tree is guiding us, so even if it turns, you won’t find us.”

Just as he said, the trees in the forest were hiding Kim Woo-jin and Yulia as if they had a will.

“At least it doesn’t seem exclusive.”

“There is no reason for that. Daydram’s mother tree is different.”

“That is your idea.”

The World Trees are active in saving the world because it is directly related to their survival. The World Tree is never just a good being.

Moderate trust is possible, but complete trust is still premature.

“I am here. Go straight ahead and the mother tree will be waiting for you.”

“Why aren’t you going with me?”

“The mother tree doesn’t want it.”

“Thank you.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Ballack is gone. The trees split in a straight line to make a path. It was like a red carpet had been rolled out.

“How does the World Tree of Daydram feel?”

“He is a great man.”

“Compared to Kraft?”

“He has a bit of a joke, but I didn’t feel that snobbish.”

“Aren’t you tricked?”

“Maybe it is, but at least it seems to me.”

“How did you meet Albenius?”

“Well···. There’s no reason to come all the way here and hide it, so it doesn’t matter. Albenius and the mother tree already had a relationship.”

“You already had a plan, and that’s what got you into it.”

“Yes.”

“Is that right?”

Kim Woo-jin’s gaze was not directed at Yulia. sky. Above it was a small sparrow that had been following steadily since it had entered the forest.

Both Kim Woo-jin and Yulia noticed right away that it was no ordinary sparrow.

– That’s right.

The sparrow landed on Yulia’s shoulder.

“Mother Tree, long time no see.”

– It’s good to see you again, child of the forest. I drove you to such a dead end and my heart wasn’t comfortable for a day.

“It’s not something the person who drove it directly said.”

– It’s because you’re a party. Even if it seems hypocritical, hypocrisy is also good.

The sparrow smiled benevolently. Certainly, it felt a little different from Kraft.

“The elemental body is small. Doesn’t the spirit body grow in proportion to the number of years it has lived? Kraft’s world tree was huge, right?”

– The size of the spirit body is whatever the World Tree wants. If you want to grow within your own limits, grow it, otherwise you can’t.

– Kraft’s World Tree seems to have wanted to make others feel intimidated.

Absolutely, I didn’t feel intimidated to that extent. I just didn’t like it because it looked ugly.

– So it’s you.

The sparrow turned its head halfway and met Kim Woo-jin’s eyes.

– Warden of Purgatory, and the human who named my child Lily.

“Yes, I am. The invitation was well received.”

– I really wanted to see you once.

– What kind of person are those arrogant gods so wary of?

“How do you feel?”

– It’s worth it.

The sparrow flew up again. He flapped his wings in front of Kim Woo-jin, who was walking slowly.

– Seeing that you’ve come this far, you must be thinking of joining our plan, right?

“The devil writes contracts that way.”

– Didn’t you hear the whole story? So you thought you were convinced?

“The spy you sent is more vigilant than I thought. We don’t know anything other than that the world tree was planted to destroy purgatory and that Albenius was involved. Oh, I also knew that the World Tree was intended to communicate with each other by linking it this time.”

– The children of the forest are naturally wary. However, that’s why it was perfect for this job. I can’t just reveal everything and be used by you.

– Anyway, it’s all here.

After passing through the translucent barrier, the energy of the World Tree came closer.

The enormous density of mana was indeed a world tree that had lived for 10,000 years. Daydram’s girl was one step higher than Kraft’s world tree.

– Then I should explain more clearly.

– Julia is right.

– We intend to destroy Purgatory. But that’s just one process.

Destroy Purgatory, send the prisoners, and seize Purgatory, the cross dimension, with the planted World Tree.

– That’s the first one.

– Hearing the news of the seizure of purgatory, he dragged the panicked gods into purgatory.

– That’s the second.

– What do you think is next?

“You make a funny joke.”

– Does that sound like a joke?

“The name is God. Do you think you can kill it that easily?”

– So that’s what you need.

– Unlike the other warriors, aren’t you a prisoner imprisoned in purgatory for committing a real crime?

Mana resonates with the voice of the World Tree.

– The one who killed God.

The piercing pressure suddenly turned the sparrow into a phoenix and spread its huge wings.

– God Slayer, Kim Woo-jin.

The phoenix spat out the three letters of his name again and again.

– How would you like to join us?

“No matter how it is, do you think of it as just an attendant now?”

The Dwarves who were remodeling the destroyed office nodded one by one.

“That is what I mean.”

“But isn’t that not particularly surprising?”

“That too.”

It was only that the work changed from environmental creation such as logging or lake building to remodeling, and the dwarves were constantly being eaten by the warden.

“You can’t take that for granted. It’s not some kind of World’s Best Slave Contest.”

“you’re right. We are not really prisoners.”

He was imprisoned in purgatory and given a prisoner number. Nonetheless, none of the prisoners thought they were real prisoners.

Because I haven’t sinned. It’s just that I’m living in prison unjustly.

“But the meaning is different now from then.”

Although he complained, the reason why Derkain listened to Kim Woo-jin obediently was the biggest reason.

Because I knew Kim Woo-jin’s hidden secret, because he was not just a dog of God, but something complicated.

And because I felt hostility toward God.

I don’t know why the warden of purgatory appointed by the gods is against the gods and tries to deceive their eyes, but isn’t good good?

It has been said since ancient times that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

“But to be honest, I am a little anxious. Could it be smoke?”

“Acting? Why?”

It’s not that Derkain didn’t have that thought either. But the warden had no reason to do so.

Even if you dig a trap, the only thing you can do here is put it in the punishment room. And the warden could have put them in for no reason, or he could have driven them completely into abyss using the last prison break as an excuse.

But the warden didn’t.

“I do it because I have something to gain from acting. But the warden postponed it, what did he gain by tricking us?”

“…isn’t it?”

“Yeah, no. That’s why I decided to hold the warden’s hand without hesitation. my senses are talking With the warden, we can give the motherfuckers a shot at imprisoning us here.”

The Dwarves were excited by Dercain’s remarks. It’s not as much as Derca, but they also spent a lot of time in purgatory, and they built up their anger against God.

“…But what are they doing?”

Wow!

Stop!

kill!

The dwarves’ eyes turned to the window. It was a congratulatory place. The monsters in the barn that were released were fighting fierce battles with the beastmen.

“The warden said that now he has entrusted the prison hall to the prisoners.”

“Did the prisoners join hands with the warden?”

“I felt like I lost my will after playing 16 to 1.”

“The warden is a real monster. It looks like it will break even for me.”

“That’s right.”

Dercain, who responded roughly, checked the blueprint of the office once again. Then, turning one more page, another piece of paper was revealed.

In addition to remodeling the office, another order from the warden.

[Arena construction.]

It’s an arena. What are you going to do?

Yep, Derkhain let out a groan.

* * *

“Didn’t I tell you not to go there? You shouldn’t take Kim Woo-jin lightly.”

A temple that can see the universe.

Bern Ortian, who had returned from purgatory, turned his head at the voice he heard from the garden of the temple.

“Or did you get something the way you hoped?”

“…don’t care.”

“I know you’re impatient, but it’s because God doesn’t have that much authority.”

“Isn’t it largely because of you that you failed?”

“That’s another interesting reasoning.”

Afterwards, the man leisurely sipped his drink.

“Due to the lack of quality of the enforcers you sent, Kang Min-sik was captured after only two weeks. Otherwise everything would have gone according to plan.”

“You have to tell the story straight.”

The man crossed his legs.

“Didn’t you guys ask for help and give a little help with that crude plan? I had never been in favor of such a crude plan in the first place.”

It’s like a pathetic guy who undermines the prestige of the gods.

“I gave you one chance as you wished and failed.”

“…there is still one. I planted it this time.”

“Yes, I guess. If you install it without knowing the subject once more, you will not be able to show any more mercy.”

No matter how generous a god may be, his mercy is not infinite.

“so.”

With a click, the glass broke. Shards of glass and drops of alcohol hung in the air.

“Be quiet. Quiet, like dead. I mean, don’t make Kim Woo-jin wary.”

“…”

“go away.”

At his celebration, Bern gnashed his teeth and disappeared.

“Oh God.”

The woman attending him approached cautiously.

“We counted the number of people. All five.”

“It is appropriate.”

“Yes, I will definitely complete the task at the cost of my life.”

“yes. I’m curious about Kim Woo-jin’s reaction afterwards.”

Just right, the man who put the pieces back together frowned.

The alcohol was bitter. But on the day the task is done, it will be sweet again.

maybe.
