Seong Ji-han returned to Sword Palace Kim Ji-hoon’s house.

Upon returning, he realized that he was standing in midair.

The room where Kim Ji-hoon lived was on the top floor of Sword Palace, a high-rise residential complex.

The building, which had been intact just a moment ago, had completely collapsed.

and.

‘… … .’

In the upper sky, where the Holy Land is floating.

Here and there, collapsed buildings were visible, and flames rising from the wreckage.

And, even the corpses of people lying miserably.

The center of Seoul, which was evaluated as safe because of the Government-General of Korea.

had been completely destroyed.

“It was an illusion, it wasn’t.”

Uld showed, the invasion of the elves corps.

I only believed Yoon Se-ah’s words and thought it was an illusion.

It wasn’t.

Sung Ji-han looked at the fallen people with a blank face.

‘Survivors… … There is not too much.’

Dead bodies, regardless of gender or age.

Because of the fires that broke out in all directions, there were also a significant number of people who were charred.

Invasion of elves.

It felt like less than an hour had passed since I watched the video Uld uploaded.

Has it become so devastated?

‘… … If I come.’

If Seong Ji-han returned immediately after seeing Uld’s video.

There wouldn’t have been no sacrifices at all, but this cruel aspect wouldn’t have appeared.

He bit his lip and felt a faint movement from below.

Poof!

Approach the collapsed Sword Palace and float the wreckage of the building all at once.

“Oh, Master… … .”

Inside is Lee Ha-yeon, whose whole body is covered in blood.

While hugging the fallen Lim Ga-yeong, she looked at Seong Ji-han.

“little… … You are late.”

laughed helplessly.

“… … What happened?”

“A portal suddenly opened in the sky. An army of elves has invaded… … They are terrifyingly strong. ruthlessly. It destroyed this place in an instant.”

In the meantime, Lee Ha-yeon hugged Lim Ga-young’s corpse until it was crushed.

“… … I lived once thanks to Gayoung. The elf sensed my presence and was almost disposed of.”

“… … .”

“But, suddenly, I felt pain… … .”

“It became light and disappeared.”

“mind. that’s right. It turns into pure white light… … .”

this too.

It was the same as the video Uld showed me.

-then… … the burdens. Shall we leave some? Kill them all, and you’ll be so free.

She realizes that Seong Ji-han did not voluntarily give up on being human.

Saying that he would leave ‘burden’ behind him, he absorbed the elves who had been slaughtering humans for a long time.

If she hadn’t, it would have taken longer.

Lee Ha-yeon couldn’t have been alive right now.

“Sea. Where have you gone?”

“Sea… … After Sejin Yoon passed away, I went out to attack the elves… … .”

“… … Did Sejin-hyung die too?”

“… … yes. The body of a male half-elf didn’t give me the strength I had during my days as the Sword King.”

My body was changed into a male half-elf, and the level I raised as the Sword King was reset.

Couldn’t you stand against the elves?

“ha… … .”

Seong Ji-han sighed and reached out to Lee Ha-yeon.

Ssssss… …

Then, her damaged body quickly returns to normal.

“thank you. Owner… … .”

“Please wait here for a moment. I will come and find Sae-ah.”

At Seong Ji-han’s words, Lee Ha-yeon nodded helplessly.

Jigsaw… … !

A purple portal opened in the air.

“… … uncle.”

From there, Yoon Se-ah with an expressionless face jumped out.

* * *

“Yoon Se-ah.”

“huh.”

“Why me… … Did you send that message?”

“You mean fake?”

When Sung Ji-han nodded,

“At that time, you almost caught Uncle Yggdrasil.”

“… … So you said it was an illusion?”

“uh. It won’t help you with your uncle’s work, but you shouldn’t hold on to your ankles.”

In the middle of the ruined Gangnam.

In the land full of corpses, Yoon Se-ah said calmly.

“So that’s what I said. So that my uncle doesn’t mind the little things.”

“Small, it’s a job.”

Sung Ji-han felt his breath stop.

It is also a problem that Yoon Se-ah sent false messages.

than that

‘Why are you so calm?’

Because of his message, he missed the return timing, and mankind was slaughtered like this.

His father also died because of it.

In Yoon Se-ah, there was no emotional agitation at all.

“… … Who is your sister?”

“mom… … daddy dies I must have been shocked. My father died while protecting my mother. While trying to get revenge on the elves, he was mortally wounded… … I took refuge in the void.”

“Who, even my sister? Hurry and bring it! Because I can restore it!”

“huh.”

self… … .

Let Seah Yoon open the portal again.

Inside, Sung Ji-ah, whose upper body was pierced in the middle, appeared.

Although the energy of the void stayed in the wound that had been penetrated, and put a breather on it.

It wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time, a fatal wound.

“mom… … I was able to subdue the high elves. Not good for the high elves. Fortunately, when the elves disappeared into the light, the high elves were also sucked into the mask and disappeared. Otherwise, my mother would have died.”

“… … The high elves must have not been absorbed.”

The resemblance to the uld was because it was an elf and a high elf, not a high elf.

Did they get lost in the void?

Seong Ji-han quickly treated Seong Ji-ah’s body.

‘This… … It hurts too much I must use eternity.’

self… … .

Seong Ji-han hurriedly breathed life into Seong Ji-ah.

[The stat ‘Eternity’ is consumed by 1.]

Seong Ji-han, who pours his energy into his sister to the point of consuming eternity.

Yoon Se-ah watched this from the side and said a word.

“uncle. I can’t even do that… … Isn’t it worth it? It’s like the energy of the world tree. I can heal it with the void.”

“… … Such a waste?”

Is he really crazy?

“you. really… … what’s the matter? sister, it’s your mother What’s the point of using this energy of life to save your mother?”

“uh… … .”

At Seong Ji-han’s words, Yoon Se-ah only blinked.

“… … I know. Why did you think that, me?”

“… … .”

“uncle. me. It seems a bit strange.”

Let’s mumble Yoon Se-ah with a blank face.

self… … .

Her body started to turn black.

and soon

The shape of the universe that was only found in Yoon Se-ah’s upper body.

It started to spread to the arms and legs.

‘… … The shape of Cosmos has expanded.’

Yoon Se-ah’s body gradually changed as she became a candidate for the owner of the arena.

They said it would take 300 years for the whole body to change.

The shape of the universe was encroaching on all of Yoon Se-ah’s body except for her face.

“I saw my father die before my eyes, and it was less sad than I thought. no… … I didn’t feel anything at all.”

“… … .”

“Look at the dead. That’s all. So does mom… … .”

She looked at Sung Ji-ah with an expressionless face.

I turned my gaze to Sung Ji-han.

“… … Except for my uncle, everyone is a lowly servant. It is perceived as worthless.”

“It’s low… … ?”

“huh… … I think this is the growing pain you have to go through to become the owner of the arena. Because it evolves from human to cosmos.”

growing pains.

referring to his condition as such.

Yoon Se-ah smiled and looked at her limbs.

“Like this, my body… … Haven’t you evolved more completely?”

in this situation now.

Looking at yourself who has become a cosmos, laughing?

‘… … I can’t do it.’

Seong Ji-han’s eyes sank deeply.

Ssssss… … .

A blush appeared behind him.

hooked!

“… … uh?”

The sword stabbed Yoon Se-ah.

* * *

“uh. uh… … sa, uncle. why. Come on?”

“Being the owner of the arena. Operating in the Realm of the Void… … Until now, everyone respected that it was your choice.”

“uh… … okay. Everything I chose! I want to be the owner of the arena. Suffering in the void… … It evolved into Cosmos! Uncle, to help… … .”

Yoon Se-ah grabbed the blue-hong that stabbed her with both hands.

“that. therefore. stop kidding me and pull it out uncle… … .”

Although she appealed to Sung Ji-han with a pitiful face.

“But now I can’t see. your choice… … I won’t respect you any longer. Just this once, I will force you.”

“Forcing, what… … ?”

“I will go back to before I became the owner of the arena.”

“what? Oh, no!!!”

Yoon Se-ah was taken aback by those words and tried to pull out her sword.

self… … .

In blue and red, the blue light bloomed more intensely.

“Even if you go back. If Cosmos wants to be like that. So, if you want to become the owner of the arena… … At that time, I will give up.”

It’s scary to say that.

damn… … !

Inside Yoon Se-ah’s body, there was a sound of something breaking.

Seong Ji-han’s target was the atmosphere of the void.

“Uh, how could my uncle do this to me… … ?”

“no. This is my gift… … It’s my ability… … A device that will evolve into Cosmos… … .”

“please. uncle… … Ah Okay. I will be sad. About what caused the death of humans. I will atone and live. So don’t do this… … !”

Seah Yoon desperately appealed to Seong Ji-han, feeling that the atmosphere of emptiness was breaking.

Her words only made Sung Ji-han’s will firmer.

“sorry.”

Wow!

The atmosphere of emptiness exploding inside Yoon Se-ah’s body.

Let the vessel that contains the void break away.

Wow… … !

The shape of the cosmos collapses from the tips of the fingers and toes.

A vast void rose from there.

The energy of emptiness that is far more powerful than Yoon Se-ah originally possessed.

[As the vessel containing the void broke, the void within erupted even more violently… … If you break the atmosphere, will your abilities be temporarily amplified?]

The manager in red, who was watching this quietly, responded that he was interested.

‘Breaking the atmosphere will amplify your abilities… … .’

surely.

[The stat Void rises by 500.]

Even though I managed to capture only part of the void that Yoon Se-ah emits, the void stat went up by 500.

It’s a bowl that was broken, but how come it overflows beyond the contents.

“three… … Korean inch… … too bad… … my evolution… … .”

self… … .

When the body that became Cosmos disintegrates, the human body returns instead.

Yoon Se-ah looked at this with a shocked face.

I closed my eyes as if I couldn’t bear to see.

[But why stop evolution? If the owner of the arena, who will become the 2nd person in the void, is a partner for cooperation, it will be useful forever.]

‘It’s better not to have that kind of use.’

Sung Ji-han answered firmly.

When the cosmosized Yoon Se-ah almost returned, she drew out her sword.

and.

‘I have to break that damn hat too.’

The moment he tried to swing his sword to destroy the fedora, the symbol of the owner of the arena.

Ssssss… … .

A void rose from the hat and faded.

[The manager in black has not intervened in Uld’s matter, so he said he would especially turn a blind eye to this case.]

[Instead, he says he will retrieve this item himself.]

Along with that, a message window pops up in front of Seong Ji-han’s eyes.

Yoon Se-ah will close her eyes, or collect the hat.

“… … take it Don’t even think about covering it again.”

As soon as Seong Ji-han finished speaking, the bowler hat disappeared.

At the same time, Yoon Se-ah stumbles.

After the hat disappeared, the cosmosization was completely released and I was losing consciousness.

“ha… … He really is.”

And Sung Ji-ah accepts her.

Seong Ji-han gave her 1 eternity.

He supported his daughter with a lively appearance.

“sister… … Are you okay?”

“uh. The energy you gave me… … That’s great. My body is healthier than ever.”

“okay. I’m glad. Then look at Se-ah.”

“Jihan, what are you going to do?”

“I have to catch up.”

“… … rectification? this?”

Destroyed cities and countless corpses lying on the ground.

How are you going to deal with this situation?

When Sung Ji-ah is looking at the scenery of the city with melancholy eyes.

Seong Ji-han said to Lee Ha-yeon.

“Miss Hayeon. Could you turn on the Battle Tube?”

“Battle Tube… … yo. this?”

“yes. I want to know a little bit about the damage worldwide. I’m having some trouble with my account.”

“ah. yes. I’ll find out right away.”

Even if the big city was destroyed and the communication network collapsed.

The Battle Tube was operating normally.

Geeing… … .

Lee Ha-yeon floated the Battle Tube, uploaded emergency videos here and there, and collected information.

“It seems that most of the big cities around the world have been destroyed like Gangnam… … Small and medium-sized cities and rural areas are less affected. The elven army was summoned because it was the capital of each country or the big city… … .”

“Destroy the big cities… … In any case, there are few countries that have not suffered.”

“yes. The elven army was summoned at the same time… … Except for places like small island nations, most of them would have suffered great damage.”

Have the big cities of the world become like this?

Seong Ji-han sighed quietly and asked Lee Ha-yeon a question.

“Miss Hayeon. How many hours ago did the portal open?”

“uh… … About 1 hour 30 minutes. I think it is.”

“That’s fortunate.”

an hour and a half

In such a short period of time, such a carnage was carried out.

Let Seongjihan count the time.

Seong Ji-ah, who was supporting Yoon Se-ah by the side, asked.

“Jihan. What are you going to do?”

“We have to turn back time. Even if Sae Ah tricked me, it was me who didn’t come after all.”

“Time… … .”

“Go back to the past… … ?”

When the two of them opened their eyes wide at Seong Ji-han’s words.

The manager in red told him.

[It’s blue. Are you sure you intend to turn the golden wheel you used before?]

“okay.”

The power given by Ashoka, the golden wheel of the treasure that turns back time.

In fact, this was when I had a fight with the manager in red before.

I used it for the ‘Battle.net invitation’ and used it all up.

but.

‘In about an hour and a half… … I can imitate.’

The stat office is much more advanced than when I fought the red manager.

Based on this ability, if you imitate the Golden Wheel Jeokbo with all your might.

The time travel of about an hour and a half was worth trying.

However.

[that… … It won’t be as easy as before. I don’t know if there are no observers, but now all the administrators are watching this place. Even the Uld that controls time will be included in it… … You shouldn’t think the same way as when the god of war turned back time in the past. No matter how strong your strength is, the probability of failure is very high.]

The manager in red expressed skepticism, saying that the situation was different from before.

[Just use the power of the underworld to create a new one. Similar to the dead, don’t we just fill in the numbers? The manager in black seems to be quite considerate, so how about taking this opportunity to challenge creation instead? I will do my best to help.]

Also, don’t open the underworld and bring the dead back to life.

A red manager who wants to ‘create’ a human in that vacant place.

but.

“We must resurrect the dead… … What’s the point of replacing it with a fake one?”

Seong Ji-han immediately rejected the offer.

behind your back.

Dreuk. rumbling… … .

golden wheel.

The golden wheel began to float.
