071. Traitor

“This morning is a light bread meal! Bread and hot soup!”

Slowly, Werner pushed the cartridge and supplied food to the prisoners.

“Thank you.”

“thanks.”

“It was nothing.”

As I walk around receiving greetings from the prisoners, I realize that Purgatory has changed a lot.

From the simplest atmosphere to their empty necks.

Prisoners who have clearly sided with the warden no longer wear restraints. As a prisoner, he is not treated like a prisoner.

‘Then this isn’t a prison, it’s like an inn.’

I know why. He didn’t get along very well with the other prisoners, but he wasn’t so dull or stupid that he didn’t know the atmosphere.

‘It’s a war against God.’

The scale is too big, so I don’t know how to react.

In fact, he also had a hatred for God.

At best, I tried to persuade him to give up his power after seeking the dimension.

But the anger quickly faded. It’s because I realized how heavenly this prison is, where you can get all kinds of food.

It may not have been with the other prisoners, but it was with him. He wasn’t very interested in battles and the strength of the warrior.

I just want to make something more delicious. I want to eat. I want to pursue the ultimate taste by researching more ingredients and various cooking methods.

That’s all.

I have no desire to get caught up in the fight of the gods, nor do I have the desire to achieve something by defeating them.

“… is that true?”

“yes.”

That was until I came in for an interview with the warden.

“Are you really saying there was such a thing before vaccines?”

“yes. There are only a few things I know, such as peaches that grow in a special place called peninsular peaches, ambrosia and nectar that only gods eat and drink, and golden apples of youth that give eternal life.”

“Golden apples… I had never heard of such a thing.”

“Of course. The gods only eat themselves, but how can you, as a mere creature, know?”

“indeed···!”

“It tastes like a heavenly delicacy. Once you taste it, you won’t be able to eat any other food.”

“Is that enough…?”

Gulp, Werner swallowed dryly.

“Have you ever tried it, Warden?”

“I’ve never eaten them myself because they’re so picky. But I have never seen or smelled it.”

“Oh, how was it?”

“The peaches on the peninsula were a lovely shade of pink. At first glance, it looked more like a jewel than a fruit. It was so beautiful and smelled so sweet.”

“Peaches like jewels…”

“Nectar is the drink they drink. I mix various things with the honey of the mysterious bee…”

“Are you saying it’s not just a drink made with rare ingredients, but a culinary recipe from the gods? I’ll do it!”

Werner hurriedly grabbed Kim Woo-jin’s hand.

“If you destroy the vaccine war, you will be able to take all of them, right?”

“They are monopolizing it in the name of God, but I have no intention of doing that. There is nothing I cannot give you if you help me enough.”

“do. I will do it unconditionally. No, let me do it! Please join me in that gig!”

Werner knelt down. Kim Woo-jin laughed at the exactly expected reaction.

“I’m not saying this from the position that brought you in, but the war against vaccines is highly likely to die.”

“It is a long-standing tradition to risk one’s life for gastronomy. It’s normal to fight through a storm to eat a whale, or fight a monster for a new taste.”

“The opponent is a god.”

“Only the opponent is different, but the process and result are the same. The level of the opponent has only risen for the sake of God’s gastronomy.”

It felt like he was looking at Diane, so Kim Woo-jin felt a déjà vu.

‘This guy is a fanatic after all.’

The only difference is that the target is not God, but food.

“Gourmet food should not be monopolized by a few. Everyone is given a chance and everyone has to taste it and realize its greatness.”

“Why?”

“At least to me, gastronomy is not something to enjoy alone. A cook is, after all, a person who serves food to others. In that sense, gods who monopolize themselves cannot be tolerated! So I should… no, let everyone eat!”

“Well, do it yourself.”

good would be good

“In that sense, you have something to do.”

“What is it?”

Kim Woo-jin held out the elixirs.

“Make these into spirits. Tailored for better absorption according to the person.”

“Creating spiritual altars is also a kind of cooking. That is my specialty.”

“And continue to use authority in the future.”

“Is that okay?”

“There is no reason not to do it now.”

“All right.”

Werner smiled confidently.

* * *

“We have to uproot it.”

One of the gods of the vaccine war shouted.

“Isn’t the reason why we cooperated with the World Tree because they are willing to serve the world? But they are sowing seeds in purgatory!”

The seed of the World Tree is never made lightly. The world tree that has become an adult is determined and created. It doesn’t make sense to accidentally enter purgatory.

The vaccine war was outraged. Because it wouldn’t make sense unless someone from the World Tree was collaborating with Kim Woo-jin.

“We must immediately interrogate the World Tree and uproot the World Tree in Purgatory!”

“you’re right!”

The gods agreed one by one. Albitz knocked on the table to silence them.

“It is fortunate that neither Kim Woo-jin nor any of the prisoners in Purgatory have attained prestige, but the World Tree is definitely a big problem. However, Kim Woo-jin will also know that the World Tree was discovered, and officially we do not have the authority to draw the World Tree.”

Recalling the Akashic Records contract, the gods began to murmur again.

“But that doesn’t mean we can leave the World Tree alone.”

Just thinking about what Kim Woo-jin would do with the World Tree was limitless.

“So I’m going to use the monsters to make Purgatory a mess. Burning the world tree in the process is something that can happen.”

“You are right!”

“That will do!”

“But the world tree is a secondary matter.”

There are many things you can do with the grown world tree. But the world tree is a plant that grows in a day or two.

It is a tree that takes at least a thousand years to become an adult. No matter what Kim Woo-jin did to shorten it, it would take 100 years.

So picking is picking, and it’s not a priority right now.

“In purgatory there was no one with divine status. And now, using the Enforcers and the creatures, all the dimensions are being searched, but those with divine powers are not coming out.”

I thought it would be like that at first. It’s not that easy to have confidence.

“If it is not purgatory, there is only one possibility.”

He’s like a loach who manages to escape the clutches of the gods.

“Albenius.”

“But hasn’t he already refused to gain godhood?”

“But are you sure you’ll refuse this time too?”

“that’s···.”

I don’t know if the Akashic Records recommended it once again or not. But if there’s even a chance, it’s better to be sure.

“Above all, even if it’s not a godhead, he’s involved in Kalkar’s death.”

Because Kalkar, who left to find Albenius, died.

“Is that all? Where do you think Kim Woo-jin got the seed of the World Tree?”

Is the seed of the world tree a very common thing? Absolutely not. The essence that the World Tree decided and created is the seed. You can never save it by standing still in purgatory. unless someone brings it.

“Albenius is…!”

“Kim Woo-jin and the lizard have already made contact.”

“there’s more.”

At that time, Varian muttered quietly. Everyone’s attention was focused.

“We are doing our best to find Albenius so far. However, even a trace of Albenius has not been found.”

They searched all possible dimensions by mobilizing creatures and enforcers following the gods, but there was no satisfactory result.

“Of course. I started searching except where he was.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was wrong from the start. If there is a seed of a world tree in purgatory, there must be a world tree that passed it on. Albenius is just an intermediary liaison, and there must be World Trees on their side. No, there must be.”

Among the world trees, there is a person who betrayed the vaccine war.

“…!”

“···then!”

“But there is no reason for the World Trees to betray us, right?”

“They are the ones who initially consider us to be a mere cooperative relationship.”

think it’s equal

“Even though it’s simply a treat, they don’t know the subject.”

However, that treatment and mercy is over now. If there is a world tree that hides Albenius, if there is a world tree that passed the seeds to Kim Woo-jin.

“We must uproot them and make them pay for it.”

The price of daring to rebel against the vaccine is expensive.

“good.”

Find Albenius from now on.

“The target is the dimension of the world trees.”

* * *

“It must have worked out better than I thought, right?”

– I guess that’s it.

Dimensional Daydram. Albenius, who was perched atop a branch of the World Tree, rested his chin on his chin.

“Kim Woo-jin, you are stronger than I thought. Now, I don’t think a guy like me can do it even if there are 10 of them.”

– What are ten people? I don’t think there were even a hundred.

“Anyway, I’m also a dimension dragon.”

– So, are you thinking of leaving everything to Kim Woo-jin?

“Durishma seems to have a closer relationship with Kim Woo-jin than I do, and since the prisoners and Yulia revolve around Kim Woo-jin, it can’t be helped.”

– You’ve prepared everything, right?

“I started it, but I don’t have the ability to finish it.”

Albenius was a dragon who was good at self-objectification.

He’s obviously strong. It is a special dimensional dragon among dragons, and it has lived for a long time and has accumulated a high rank. Being offered a position by the Akashic Records proves that his efforts were not in vain.

But everything is relative.

I am confident of winning against the gods of anti-vaccination and everything except Kim Woo-jin, but unfortunately my opponent is the gods of anti-vaccination.

“I know my subject well. It is my role to support Kim Woo-jin.”

To that end, I found Kim Woo-jin. He still hasn’t forgotten. The majesty of the absolute that killed the two gods and allowed him to escape.

“Why am I doing this in the first place? I want to live a little more comfortably.”

Because I don’t want to be pursued by God anymore. I know that there is no answer unless one side collapses, so I burn the flame.

He had no more regrets than that.

It was because he was a humble dragon with no such grandiose dreams.

– Isn’t the dimensional dragon overly simple?

– Even in proportion to the work done.

“Look after thousands of years. It happens naturally.”

Revenge, nabal, and just dream of a peaceful life.

– Then you’re using Kim Woo-jin, right?

“Anyway, Kim Woo-jin is just like me. It means that we have become unable to live with the vaccine war.”

So the two had no choice but to hold hands, and held hands.

“I have to go back.”

Yep, Albenius stood up.

“Because there are overflowing former warriors who still hold grudges against God.”

Although it may not be a big blow to the gods, at least when fighting the gods, shouldn’t the executioners be prevented from interfering?

It was then.

– stop.

The sparrow’s face hardened.

– There is someone knocking on the door of the dimension.

– This is God…!

– Hide now!

Branches and roots swallowed Albenius.

The World Tree opened the dimensional door and welcomed the guests.

“Dadram world bestowal. Say hello formally, it’s called Doink before the vaccine.”

– World Tree of Daydram. There is no specific name.

– Why did the high-ranking person before the vaccine go to such a periphery?

“I followed the trail.”

– trace?

“There is a traitor that Baxinjeon has been chasing for a long time. However, I found a situation where you world trees are covering the traitor.”

– A traitor?

– We’re hiding a traitor?

“yes.”

Doink’s eyes sank.

“Honey, World Tree. If you’re not hiding him, I’ll be willing to cooperate. If not, the mercy given to you in the vaccine war is over.”
