070. A battery that lasts longer

“You have become stronger.”

“So are you.”

It was confirmed that Kim Woo-jin was a bloody god. I can still feel the energy of life.

Although the Enforcers are all dead, Delapus is alive. Of course. Because it stopped Durishma who was trying to finish it off.

“Thank you for listening to me.”

“I intentionally left traces in the vanished dimension to lure them here. It’s complicatedly twisted through several apocalyptic dimensions, so even if others come, they won’t be able to find it easily.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Now tell me what better way to cut their power than to kill them.”

“It is uncertainty.”

“uncertainty?”

“There is a difference between certain death and disappearance.”

If Delapus died like this, there were two advantages.

As a demon, Durishma accumulates karma by killing light.

And Kim Woo-jin, who absorbs the power of God.

But if it doesn’t kill, it has more benefits.

“If Delapus dies like this, it is no different from announcing the existence of Durishma before the vaccine.”

“Certainly it is.”

“Kalkar’s death is still unknown to them. The answer to that unknown doesn’t have to be quick. Wouldn’t it be better for us to be a little more anxious, curious, and then mess around a few more times?”

“…that’s the right idea. At least, you were blinded by the vengeance and almost made a mistake.”

“Not only that.”

Even more so, the benefit left as a living is not one.

“If Delapus is alive, until some time has passed, I will just believe that he is continuing the search. That in and of itself can take extra time.”

“The more time the better.”

“Yes that’s right. And really, finally, this is the most important thing.”

“What?”

“An incident happened a while ago. Albenius and the World Tree are raising high elves to fight against the gods. But that child was suddenly chosen by the Akashic Records.”

“…became a god?”

Durishma raised her eyes.

“Is that an empty seat in Kalkar?”

“Perhaps.”

“However, the high elf raised by the lizard, not the executor of the anti-vaccination campaign. It’s a pity that I can’t see their expressions in person.”

Khehehehe, Durishma let out a pleasant laugh.

He was a giant who knew the obsession with vaccine war better than anyone else.

Why did they try to annihilate the race with even a little bit of divine power? Why do they imprison the warriors in purgatory and try to retrieve their power?

All to eliminate the possibility.

The possibility of a new god being born somewhere other than before the vaccine.

Since it went wrong, it was only natural that the vaccine war was overturned.

“Yes, so Varian found Purgatory not too long ago. In general, Purgatory is the place with the most strong people who can become gods.”

“Have you been caught? No, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to come to see me calmly.”

“Yeah, I didn’t get caught. Instead, the World Tree was discovered.”

“Did you plant a world tree in the prison? They said there was a way not to be seen by the gods, so that’s it.”

“you’re right. Anyway, getting back to the point, capturing and keeping a god alive is, in effect, allowing the Akashic Records to choose a new god when we want.”

And put it differently.

“You can reduce the scene over there and increase the scene over here.”

“…If it’s as you say, it’s sure to be the best strategy, but is that possible? They should be stronger than the enforcers prepared by them, but there is no way that such a person is common.”

“Yes, it is not common. However, Purgatory is a place where warriors from many dimensions gather. And there are at least four or five more who seem to have the qualities to become gods.”

Beastmen, elves, dwarves, possessed and fanatics.

Aside from the attitude of a fanatic, objectively, her abilities are top-notch among the Enforcers. If raised well, there is a possibility of becoming a god.

God blocks with God.

No matter how you think about it, the only person who can stand against God is God.

Or you can eat God like that, or you can become an apostle of darkness like Durishma, but such extreme choices are not easy.

“Five, five…”

It’s small compared to a hundred people, but it’s by no means a meaningless number.

Durishma, who was contemplating as she brushed her chin, nodded.

“Enough is good enough. good night.”

“thank you. So, can I take this guy with me?”

“Wouldn’t it be easy to manage?”

“I’m trying to seal it in the world tree. I think I might need another battery.”

“The world tree has long been a useful sealing tree. not a bad way But what is a battery?”

“Oh, no big deal. I meant to use this guy to grow the world tree. I also use my strength to defend against those who would attack the World Tree.”

Kim Woo-jin shrugged.

“do whatever you want. Is that enough to protect the World Tree from their tricks?”

“Oh, actually, that’s why I came here…”

the story is long

* * *

“Lily! I brought you another battery!”

– Beep!

Branches that stretched out grabbed Delapus and dragged him along.

“Hey, what is this? world tree? Kim Woo-jin, you damn bastard! Aren’t you afraid of the vaccine war!”

“I wouldn’t do anything like this if I was afraid.”

“Noooum!”

“Quiet. You have been kidnapped.”

The leaves of the world tree blocked the mouth of Delapus, who had gone mad in bewilderment. I grabbed the struggling body and dragged it deep into the roots.

“It’s a battery that lasts a lot longer than Bern. It will charge faster.”

– beep!

Lily waved her wings happily. Kim Woo-jin gave a satisfied smile. And there were elves watching them.

“…No matter how much I think about it, it’s not the mother tree I knew. Treating God like a battery? Where the hell did you get it again? Are you okay with that?”

“Me too. It’s all because of the warden. The director dyed the mother tree strangely.”

“It looks a bit like the warden’s usual appearance, but is it possible to change like that simply with the warden’s actions?”

“Yeah? What does that mean?”

“No, it’s the high elves who have the biggest impact on the World Tree. Of course, the reverse is also true…”

“…is it because of me? I’m sorry! There’s no way I could be that greedy… Evil, Mother Tree! Lily! stop, stop!”

– Beep beep.

“Kyaaak! Honestly, being greedy is right! Let’s be honest!”

“It seems like the two of you are bickering a lot these days.”

“I guess that means it’s more comfortable. If it was the same as before, there’s no way you could do that.”

“Is that so. Now, the name is new, but it’s really the same.”

“That doesn’t mean it hasn’t changed that much. I can’t imagine how that child will change.”

Kim Woo-jin sat down next to Sienna.

“How is the situation?”

“I’m still working on the blueprint, and I’m bringing the materials near the mother tree.”

“What about the elixir?”

“Elixir? Except for the one I sent some time ago and gave to the mother tree, there are five of them.”

“Are there more than you think?”

“After the mother tree sealed the battery, or rather the god, mana became abundant and it grew faster.”

“That is a good thing. Then, let’s split five of them and eat them.”

“suddenly?”

“Because we all need to be strong to stand up to God.”

In any event, in order to gain divine status, it was necessary to become the strongest beings other than God.

There is a need to raise the next five people as much as possible.

“But what if there are five of us?”

“At least they are people who can see the cotyledon that can respond to the gods. Siena-sama, Dercain-sama, Tarkan, and Soji and Diana.”

“Everyone else understands, but will Soji try to fight? In the first place, he has no hatred for God and no desire to get out of prison, right?”

There is no great regret in the strength of the warrior. Even if you had it at first, you think you have a lot to gain here.

“That guy is easy.”

“how?”

“There are many special things that only the gods eat before the vaccine.”

“really?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“…I was rude to Julia. I think it’s entirely your influence, not Yulia’s.”

Sienna smiled and asked.

“But if I eat all the elixirs, there won’t be anything to send before the vaccine, right?”

“I have a good excuse, so it’s okay.”

“excuse?”

“Didn’t the monsters attack because they mismanaged it?”

If farming was ruined because of demons, they wouldn’t have anything to say. Because Varian didn’t come all the way to the botanical garden and check everything.

“It’s a graveyard. But, given the circumstances, won’t you somehow risk it?”

“Under circumstances like this, you might not care about such trivial things. Lily isn’t the only thing they have to worry about right now.”

“It must have something to do with the god you captured, right?”

“Yes.”

then you’ll figure it out Having developed trust in Kim Woo-jin, Sienna believed him.

“Oh, and speaking of elixirs, another one will come out soon.”

“It’s good. I fed one more god, so will there be more?”

“maybe. Personally, I’d like to give it to someone else. Wouldn’t it be better if there were more strong players?”

“Is there anyone suitable?”

“It’s still a little vague, but there’s one child who’s most likely besides me and the other five.”

Sienna nodded.

* * *

“Kang Min-sik.”

“Yes, warden.”

Indeed, it was as Siena said.

In the meantime, there were so many incidents and accidents that I didn’t have time to pay attention to Kang Min-sik, but compared to when I first entered purgatory, I achieved quite a great growth.

“You ate monsters when the rift opened.”

Light has many positive elements. Conversely, darkness has many negative elements.

The same goes for the monsters that are the Legion of Darkness. The monsters themselves are no different from living beings with poison.

Kang Min-sik developed his power by absorbing the miasma of the monsters during the rift. Considering that the levels of the monsters that had invaded Purgatory beyond the rift were by no means low, it was bound to be quite a force.

“…wouldn’t that be okay?”

Kang Min-sik rolled his eyes anxiously.

Of course, that’s not a bad thing. It’s always a welcome thing to have more strong people to deal with the gods.

‘Sooner or later, a crack will open again and monsters will come over. What if I feed them all?’

It will grow quite a bit. If you take the elixir as well, you will definitely be on the other five levels.

However, the problem is that Kang Min-shik cannot be completely trusted.

“I will make you a suggestion.”

“A suggestion?”

“Let’s write a contract.”

Kim Woo-jin found a connection with the Akashic Records and created a contract.

It was originally impossible, but after absorbing the main god, Kalkar, he also gained some access to the Akashic Records.

[The director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin, is referred to as ‘A’.

Kang Min-sik, a prisoner in Purgatory, is referred to as ‘Eul’.

1. B absolutely obeys the orders of A under any circumstances.

2. B cannot harm A under any circumstances.

3. B quickly informs A of the information A wants in any case.

4. However, if A wishes, exceptions may exist to all provisions.

5. In return, A actively cooperates with B in obtaining trust.

6. If the vaccine war collapses, if B wants it, he will return it to the place he wants without any conditions, and the contract will be destroyed without any conditions.

7. If the above provisions are violated, Eul will be dragged into the abyss according to the laws of the universe.]

The overall content was similar to the contract he had written with Dnerva.

“Sign it.”

“This···.”

“I still don’t trust you. But if you sign here, I’ll do my best to get you some respect.”

“…You mean I’m going to become a god? Is that possible?”

“I am not talking about the impossible. You must have seen Julia who became a god.”

“I am God.”

“Of course, in return, you have to play an active part in the war against vaccines. What do you want to do?”

Kang Min-sik asked after thinking for a while.

“Anyway, I can’t achieve what I want right now, right?”

“Unless the vaccine warfare collapses, it is impossible to return without any conditions.”

It is also true that its usefulness is diminishing. Kang Min-sik’s greatest value was as a double agent among the gods, but considering his string was Bern and where Bern was now, it was meaningless.

“Then it’s worth doing, but no matter how hard it is, unconditional obedience. Isn’t this a very unfair contract?”

“Isn’t it a little funny that a fair contract is made between you and me?”

“…I’m too proud to say anything. I’ll do it.”

Kang Min-sik wrote down my name.

“Good idea.”

The contract was reconciled with light and scattered in all directions. Some to Kim Woo-jin, some to Kang Min-shik, and some to the Akashic Records, from which he came.

“Oh, you don’t want to be treated like a prisoner anymore?”

“That’s why we are also in the position of collaborators, aren’t the treatment too different?”

“Did you find out about the spies?”

“Yes.”

“great. Unless the inspector comes down, I promise that I will no longer be put in custody and treated like a prisoner, as long as the prisoners cooperate with me.”

“thank you!”

“instead.”

Tok tok, Kim Woo-jin knocked on the table.

“There is one thing I need to do.”

I just had a good idea.

* * *

“The warden said that?”

“Yes.”

“It’s not a bad idea, but I don’t know if it will work with the gods.”

“That will be resolved once he gains authority, so I told the executioners to make him a man who will work first.”

“deity? What is the name of whose dog Shinwi is?”

“Since the warden said so, I have nothing to say to you no matter what you say.”

“…I don’t think I can do it again if it’s a warden.”

Derkain grumbled.

“Well, it sounds like it’s fine in theory, but…”

Light and darkness are opposites.

Gods and monsters are also at odds.

Therefore, the power of a god is fatal to monsters. However, on the contrary, the power of the monster is a fatal wound to the god.

So, if magic cannons are made using monster venom, wouldn’t it be more lethal to gods and executioners than other magic cannons?

That was Kim Woo-jin’s request.

“Damn it, I still have a lot to do, but I’ve got more work to do.”

“What can I do?”

“What do you do, pull out the magi part and refine it. As much as possible, as strongly as possible.”

I’m sure it’ll be fun.

“When you see the gods in pain after being poisoned.”

“But what is that?”

Kang Min-shik pointed to something huge being made in one corner of the studio.

“Magic gun.”

“Gustav train gun?”

“That’s something else.”

“No, because it looks too big to be called a magic cannon.”

“It’s big, hard, and destructive.”

hehehehe, Dercain let out a sinister laugh.

“With the infinite power of the world tree and two gods, isn’t it natural to make a magic cannon that can fire infinitely?”

‘Well.’

Kang Min-sik wished the blue bird a quiet chirp.
