074. START

Tak-tak, Kim Woo-jin knocked on the table.

Derkane swallowed dry saliva. It was a blueprint that I made with confidence, but when I was in the position of being inspected for no reason, I became nervous.

“So you’re building a dome completely surrounding the World Tree?”

“Right. As it is the work of the gods, there is a possibility of what if, so we try to avoid any damage to the World Tree as much as possible.”

Around the dome, all sorts of defense magic, attack magic, and magical engineering weapons were present.

“The weapons are already being made. As long as we connect it to the World Tree as the center and supply energy, it will be able to play a sufficient role.”

“Do it yourself. Do you know what I see?”

It’s best to leave this to a professional.

“How far do you anticipate completion?”

“No matter how hard it is, it will take two months.”

“Dwarves as well as elves and enforcers all help?”

“So at least two months. Wouldn’t it take a lot of hard work to make it withstand the attacks of the gods to some extent? There are more than one or two things that need to be done to the magic circle and magic cannon.”

“Well, that’s it too.”

Anyway, it takes too long. As Kim Woo-jin expected, the tricks of the gods would never take two months.

It wasn’t far. His senses were calling out.

“For now, why don’t you just place finished weapons around Lily?”

“Then you have to do it twice.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to do it twice than to have Lily burn?”

“Well, that’s right. I see.”

“As a reminder, I will not be in purgatory when the rift opens and the assault continues.”

“Where are you going for that important time?”

“Is it okay if I just stay right? A crisis is an opportunity, and on the contrary, you have to give it a shot.”

“I’m asking just in case, does the battery increase?”

“Aren’t you even called a god now?”

“It is because of you. Since I found out about infinite power, everything seems to be a battery, not a god.”

A faint madness flashed through Derkain’s eyes.

“Well, that seems to be the case. Lily says she still has room. It’s not a bad idea to fill it up as much as possible.”

“Good. very good.”

“Yeah. The interview ends here. It’s about time.”

“Okay, I’ll do my best to produce results that satisfy you.”

“Please.”

Dercain went out.

“That’s right.”

Kim Woo-jin went outside. In an empty lot prepared on one side of the garden, there were six figures.

God, Julia Karsen.

Elf, Siena Olm.

Wolf of the Moon, Tarkan Tolis.

Human, Kang Min-shik.

Fanatic, Diane Dietrin.

Soji, even Werner Lettmann.

All of them are capable of gaining respect among the prisoners.

“Everyone has gathered.”

“Yulia said you were giving me training, so we gathered, but what kind of training is it?”

“yes? Didn’t Julia tell you?”

“I didn’t.”

“It doesn’t matter what. If it is the will of the warden, I will gladly obey.”

“Are you fighting? Welcome, then.”

“Exactly.”

At Tarkan’s question, Kim Woo-jin nodded.

“To gain divine status, you need to be that strong, and to do so, there is nothing better than actual combat. A hero becomes stronger the moment he overcomes a crisis.”

“that’s···.”

“I do not accept objections. It is an experience.”

“Yulia!”

“sorry! But if you told me in advance, you wouldn’t have come!”

“This is torture, not training!”

“To be able to fight the warden with peace of mind? I am delighted.”

“I will receive training and everything, so can’t you ask Albenius to cut off your tail? Or will it be given as an injury if you last the longest?”

“Damn it, it’s a complete match, but we have to fight again?”

“Ah, how could I point my sword at the warden as a servant!”

Responses were varied. Some were frightened, some despaired, some raised their fighting spirit, some were more interested in ashes, and some were tested on their faith.

“By the way, is Dercain not coming?”

“I can’t do it right now because I’m a busy man in charge of production. Everything has priorities.”

“It sounds like you’ll roll harder later.”

“You should see that then.”

And Kim Woo-jin.

“By the way, training is three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

so.

“I hope everyone knows how to survive.”

A spark was evenly thrust between them.

* * *

Recently, Kim Woo-jin’s daily routine has become extremely simple.

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he watches the training of those who have the potential to gain godhood and plays with Lily.

Other than that, there was nothing else to do.

It’s because you can’t leave purgatory or do something against the gods right away in a situation where you don’t know when the rift will open and the monsters will attack.

About two weeks passed like that.

“Are you used to it now?”

“I do not know. I wonder if I can do well…”

“Have confidence. You’ve prepared quite a bit for this job, haven’t you?”

“That is true.”

The deputy director in the form of Kim Woo-jin nodded.

“Honestly, I don’t care about a few people, but I wonder if I can do well without getting caught against the enforcers sent by the gods…”

“It is enough to pretend to be moderately relaxed and deal with it in moderation. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Having watched them for a long time, Kim Woo-jin knew the potential of the prisoners more than anyone else. Not to mention Yulia, the top six people in Purgatory who haven’t yet attained divine status are strong enough to chew on quite a few executioners.

No big problems will arise. Even if it happens, there are enough abilities to deal with it.

Unless God comes directly, it will be blocked unconditionally.

Even if God comes directly, one or two will be enough.

“Right, Lily?”

In Purgatory, there is not only Yulia, who has gained divine status, but also Lily, the world tree that has swallowed the two gods and is growing rapidly.

– Beep.

Lily nodded vigorously. As if telling her to trust only herself, she pounded her chest with her wings.

The sight of him emitting lightning was so believable that he smiled spontaneously.

“And Werner makes good use of it. It’s because he doesn’t have much interest in fighting, there’s no one who can beat him except Yulia, who has become a god.”

“Is that enough?”

“Because the basic ability itself is a fraud.”

It is because the authority is on that side. If Tarkan knew, he would have asked to fight every day, but he had been hiding it well until now.

‘Though that seems to be over now.’

During training with Kim Woo-jin, his ability was revealed at first glance, and Tarkan’s gaze at him changed dramatically.

It was then.

– Beep!

Lily’s eyes widened. I felt urgency all over my body as I flapped my wings. I couldn’t understand the words, but I didn’t know what they meant.

“You’re here, right?”

– Beep!

“great. Lily, do you remember what I said?”

– Beep.

– Don’t even buy Hano.

“Yes, that is correct. These are the guys who dared to target you. Show no mercy.”

– beep!

He stood up from his seat with a satisfied smile.

“Deputy Director, what are you saying?”

“It’s the warden.”

“My tone is not like that.”

“It’s the warden. However, I have one question. If you’re going to kill them all anyway, don’t you think I don’t have to pretend to be the warden?”

“that’s right. So think of it as a rehearsal.”

“You mean rehearsal?”

“Because someday I might have to act in front of the gods instead of the real me.”

“…”

“What about Albenius?”

“He is at the restaurant.”

“Are you there?”

“He is there.”

“Suddenly a restaurant? why?”

“They say they do omakase.”

“Babe Werner, you still haven’t let go of your lingering feelings, have you?”

“Of course. He’s not someone who will easily give up his lingering feelings.”

Is it an attempt to buy favor somehow?

Well, it is reasonable because the passion for food goes beyond simple passion and is the realm of fanaticism. To be honest, I never thought about it, but after hearing Werner’s argument, I wondered what a dimensional dragon’s tail would taste like.

“Dragon was a delicacy, though.”

The dragon Werner cooked was more delicacy than any meat he had ever eaten.

Unknowingly, Kim Woo-jin cheered for Werner in his heart.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important now.

“I’ll have to go get him.”

* * *

dalgrak dalgrak-

Albenius cut the meat gracefully. The knife cut gently and the pink, well-roasted meat went into my mouth.

“Well, not bad.”

The moment you chew, the juice bursts and the fragrance of spices explodes together. Moderately soft, moderately chewy, and melty sauce go well together.

“What kind of meat is this?”

“It’s a monster called Kokri.”

“I know Kokri, but he didn’t look appetizing at all.”

Kokri was a bull-like monster covered in muscle with a huge body that exceeded 5m.

“It’s tough and poisonous like a monster, but if you cook it well, it becomes an advantage. No matter how well you cook it, the moderately chewy taste remains, and the neutralized poison leaves a subtle scent that adds to the flavor of the food.”

“exactly···. Admit it. Your skills are better than any cook I’ve ever met.”

Of course, the same goes for the food we are eating right now. Albenius frantically inhaled the exquisite delicacy that ruthlessly trampled his tongue.

“Then will you give it to me?”

“No.”

“Why not? Didn’t you say it was delicious?”

“If it was you, would you cut your butt off and give it to someone else to eat?”

“I am a non-regenerative human being.”

“If it plays, give it?”

“If only we could advance gastronomy…!”

“Crazy! It’s a human, a dragon, it’s not a matter of the same race. Some madman gave his own flesh to someone else to eat!”

“I am···.”

“Shut up! You are incomparable in the first place!”

“But it was delicious, right?”

“That’s it…”

Albenius did not readily answer. It was because there was a considerable resistance to lies due to the lofty dragon ego.

“If you would give me a little tail, I will bring you three meals a day for every day you stay here. Only with the finest delicacies!”

“…mmm.”

“No more, no less, just give me 10kg. If it transforms into the main body, isn’t that about the same level as when it gets caught in your claws?”

“Are your toenails 10kg?”

Of course it’s not that great. His body boasts an enormous size of over 50m, and it is not a big problem even if he lifts the tip of his tail 10kg there. and grow again

But there is also an instinctive reluctance. If you’d rather make it into a weapon, ask for flesh to eat, even if you give it a little bone or scale.

“If it’s scales, I can cut a few pieces.”

“Can you give me the scales too? If you roast the scales well and sprinkle them over the meat, it will make a nice crust.”

“… go away, go away!”

Wow, Albenius overturned the table, broke the window, and ran away.

“Wait!”

Werner hurriedly jumped after him, but Albenius did not escape.

I stood blankly and looked up at the sky.

“Chief?”

And in front of him was the warden.

“this···.”

“Yes, Lord Albenius, the time has come.”

“When?”

Following his gaze, Werner’s head also went up.

“What time is it?”

“Werner.”

“Yes. Warden.”

“Go back to your position right now and prepare to fight.”

“···no way?”

Only then did Werner see.

Intercepting device-

The black cracks that open their mouths and the pouring monsters.

“…really came.”

The raid has begun.
