“…killed God? Who? Are you the warden?”

“You are making a funny joke.”

Contrary to Yulia, who was tired of being pale, Kim Woo-jin was calm enough to not change his complexion.

“I am the Warden of Purgatory. A jailer for confinement, not a confined prisoner. No one calls a jailer a prisoner.”

– In general, yes. you are not normal

– Even the gods know. That it is impossible to imprison you like the other warriors.

“They are gods. There is nothing God cannot do.”

They insult and disparage them as administrators, but the power they have is real. All the gods before the vaccine were beings who deserved to be called gods.

– But they didn’t.

– Because you reminded them of a ‘horror’ they had forgotten about.

“…Are you Albenius?”

– Albenius cried out for your need the most.

“Where is Albenius now?”

– He’s not in this dimension right now. Being so free

Kim Woo-jin admitted that he was a little taken aback.

I knew that the World Tree of Daedram was plotting something with Albenius. That you know something about yourself.

But I didn’t expect to talk about it so openly.

“What are you and Albenius aiming for?”

no, before that.

“Is there a chance?”

The vaccine war rules the entire universe. There are not one or two dimensions in their hands, and the legion under them is by no means weak.

Aeons of time have passed since the world was born. During that time, how many warriors were born and how many became enforcers?

God’s Legion is all former warriors. If they are driven like dogs, even Kim Woo-jin cannot be guaranteed to win unconditionally.

That was the biggest question Kim Woo-jin had.

God is God. The power they have is strong, so they can keep their name as gods.

It was also the reason why he dared to agree with them and forcibly took over the warden.

– The reigns of the gods are long, and time has made them supremely arrogant.

– There are not one or two people in this universe who are dissatisfied with them.

“You know that a group of ants is not enough for a single human, right?”

– It would be if only ants gathered.

– Most of them are ants, but there are also tigers. Like Albenius or me.

– And there are many warriors.

“They must have been ‘heroes’.”

In fact, just because the hero’s power was taken away does not mean that the hero becomes a complete weakling.

The power of the hero is the power to overcome the limit in the end. It is the power of God that breaks the walls of creation.

A hero deprived of it just returns to being an ordinary strong man. That alone would be called the strongest in one dimension, but there is a difference between heaven and earth between those who have the power of a warrior and those who do not.

And to be hostile to God without being in purgatory means, after all, these people.

– I know what you’re worried about.

– But we also have our own plans. Purgatory will collapse and its anger will be directed at us, but it can be twisted.

“What is that method?”

– It can only be told if you swear that you will definitely agree with us.

“I swear.”

– As long as the years I’ve lived are years, I’m not clumsy enough to believe in an oath that only speaks like that.

“You want the contract I made with the gods.”

– Because there is nothing more certain than that.

“It is impossible. At least as of now. I want something more specific. Like something you’re hiding.”

– Still, it means that there is curiosity.

– Albenius was right when he said that he did not blindly become a servant of God.

Sparrow laughed.

– Well, let’s talk more serious stories later.

“What about next time?”

-Perhaps at that time, Albenius will be with you. Wouldn’t that be better for you too?

“…Albenius.”

Kim Woo-jin repeated the name he longed for.

“Surely that would be better.”

There were many things I wanted to say. more or less.

* * *

…killed God?

God?

The conversation that was going on, she couldn’t understand. It was a category far beyond her comprehension.

Of course, I knew that this was what Daedram’s mother tree and Albenius ultimately wanted.

However, for her, death was something in the distant future. It’s something that needs to be done someday, but it’s unknown when it will be done.

But Kim Woo-jin has already achieved it. Even so, he is still alive by making a deal with the gods.

Is such a thing possible?

‘It’s possible. That’s why it’s right in front of me.’

Yulia gave up her stupid thoughts.

– Are you confused?

Kim Woo-jin has already disappeared. It was because the World Tree wanted to meet Yulia alone.

“Yes, a little. No, a lot.”

– Nothing changes. You just have to do your best in the mission given to you in Purgatory.

“Did the warden really kill God?”

– Do you really need to lie?

“…I understand why Albenius-nim talked about the warden like that.”

– It may be a little exaggerated, but there is no lie.

“But why did the gods make the Warden the Warden? If you killed God, isn’t it an incompatible adversary?”

– It’s because he killed God.

God is a supreme being.

It is a completely flawless existence.

They have never felt fear or thought about death.

Since the first gods were created, their number only increased throughout their lifetime. It was Kim Woo-jin who broke it.

The creature challenged God. and killed god

The gods had ninety-nine left, and if they fought together, they could surely kill Kim Woo-jin.

But they didn’t. Instinctively, in the process of killing him, I knew that one person would surely die, and no one wanted to become the victim.

they agreed Wrapped in the name of generosity and avoided in the name of forgiveness.

Yulia was convinced by the World Tree’s explanation. To be honest, I couldn’t fully understand the attitude of the gods, but I was convinced to some extent.

“Then why not fully hold hands and leave room? According to the words of the mother tree, isn’t it a being that must be caught?”

– Because I can’t completely believe it.

Whatever the reason, he became the Warden of Purgatory. He faithfully performed his duty. whopping 20 years.

From a cosmic point of view, 20 years is dust. However, 20 years is by no means short for humans, how can you guess what changes have occurred during that time.

– If you have any doubts, you must doubt and doubt again. Because that’s what we do.

“···understood. By the way.”

One question has been cleared. But one more question arose.

“How on earth does Mother Tree know that in detail?”

It is the work of God and Kim Woo-jin, vaccine war and Kim Woo-jin.

Could it be that the World Trees intervened? It can’t be. Then the gods couldn’t leave the World Tree unattended.

On the surface, it is a cooperative relationship based on mutual needs, but the relationship between the top and the bottom is clear. It’s just that it doesn’t distinguish up and down with consideration before vaccine.

Not even Albenius. He told Yulia that he was running away from the gods. They were never together until the final battlefield.

– …As expected, Yulia, you’re sharp.

The World Tree smiled strangely.

– I’ll just let you know.

Sparrow whispered.

– In fact.

– Among the gods.

“…!”

Read at noblemtl. com

Julia was shocked.

“Really?”

– yes. So, never tell Kim Woo-jin. Until he is definitely with us.

– Keep in mind that this is not a simple request.

The last words of the World Tree did not reach my ears.

why? Only the question filled her mind.

* * *

“let’s go.”

Kim Woo-jin’s expression was not good.

Rather, he got the burden from the daydram he had been trying to shake off.

Of course, it wasn’t without income.

– These are the elixirs that I raised.

– Give it to Lily.

– Since I became a biological parent and sent you to such a rough place, I don’t feel comfortable even for a day.

The sparrow handed over the top-notch elixir package, wiping away tears.

as many as five. Indeed, the admiration for the world tree came out.

“At this point, can I tell Raymond or Daisy that I don’t have to ask for an elixir?”

“no. That’s it, there’s no need to do that.”

When it comes to elixirs, the more, the better. Just because the world tree was given five doesn’t mean its value is going down.

The two prepared to head back upstairs.

But that didn’t work out.

[Chief!]

The communication port rang.

It wasn’t an ordinary communicator. It was a powerful communication tool capable of communicating across dimensions.

Naturally, the sender was the deputy director who was currently managing Purgatory on behalf of Kim Woo-jin.

“What is going on?”

[I got a call from the top. They say they will send new prisoners tomorrow.]

In that set of sentences, Kim Woo-jin found something strange.

“The ‘prisoners’?”

Warriors are not common. There are even fewer warriors who have rejected the offer of God.

Of course, prisoners are rare, and at least in the 20 years that Kim Woo-jin has been in charge of Purgatory, there have been no cases where multiple prisoners have been brought in at once.

[Yes, ten prisoners are coming in at once tomorrow!]

“…!”

Kim Woo-jin’s forehead wrinkled.

“Should I like this or not?”

Something was going on.

* * *

“Oh God.”

The woman bowed her head. His master gave him a bored look.

“Kim Woo-jin has escaped purgatory.”

“Again?”

“However, it is strange. No trace of Kim Woo-jin can be found in any dimension.”

The gods do not control all dimensions. However, it manages all but some abandoned dimensions.

From purgatory, where Kim Woo-jin is the director, to the smallest dimension, everything is on the palm of the gods.

The authority over the dimensional barrier also belongs to the gods, of course. However, traces of Kim Woo-jin leaving purgatory were detected, but no trace of entering anywhere could be found.

It’s already back and it’s not a problem. If you go out and come back, there will be traces of it.

Either one.

Kim Woo-jin went to a few abandoned dimensions.

“It seems that a certain tree is cooperating with Kim Woo-jin.”

The World Tree, which has reached the highest level, has completely erased the traces engraved on the dimensional barrier.

The man’s eyes widened.

“I will find it.”

“find? What are you looking for?”

“Of course, ask for the crime of helping Kim Woo-jin and pay the price…”

“Arthur. It’s not something you can easily find by prowling around.”

The number of worlds is never too many. They have been steadily spreading seeds to increase their influence, but in the first place, there were not many environments where the World Tree could grow.

Among the many dimensions like the stars, the proportion of the world tree is about 1%. However, that alone cannot be said to be low.

Because 1% is 1%.

Nor is it right to touch them for that reason. The world tree is clearly a being that cannot be ignored. Watching the gods notice and walking a tightrope is obviously a bug that needs to be cleaned up someday, but at least not now.

“I don’t have to go out on my own to do that. Spread it quietly to those who hate Kim Woo-jin.”

They’ll figure out what to do. Especially guys like Bern.

“Yes. Oh God.”

The woman bowed her head even more.

It was interesting to see how Kim Woo-jin would react to the actions of the rampaging gods.
