I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 797
797. [LAST STAGE] Battle of the Spirit World (2)
After foreign media chose this world as a place for destruction,.
They forcibly spread the boundaries between life and death, this world and the afterlife, and created a new space in the gap..
That artificial space is this place, the spirit world..
And foreign media began to interfere in our world through the spirit world..
They planted the trees of their chosen race - Guardian Trees - to enable that race to use magic, and thus gradually began to spread their influence throughout the world..
“The passage through which foreign media interferes with this world is the spirit world. In other words…….”
I looked around and explained.
“If you 'close' the spirit world, foreigners will no longer be able to play with this world..”
In order to expel foreigners, it is inevitable that the spirit world here must be closed..
“And in order to completely close the spirit world, the 'guardian trees' - trees of each race that have taken root between the spirit world and this world - must be destroyed..”
The guardian tree has its roots in the spirit world and its stem in this world. Because it is a structure that extends the power of the other world drawn from the spirit world to this world,.
And above all, it also plays the role of a ‘wedge’ that spreads roots between this world and the afterlife, widens the gap between life and death, and maintains that separation..
Only by eliminating these guardian beasts first can the connection between the spirit world and this world be severed and the spirit world be completely closed..
‘It was a long story, but to summarize:!’
In order to drive out foreign media, we must first destroy all these trees.!
It was then. The emperor who was listening to the story opened his mouth..
“If we burn and uproot the Guardian Tree, all magic, all mystery, and all power will disappear from our world..”
This issue has already been decided at the World Defense Front meeting..
The emperor didn't bother to ask me one more time. As if to make sure my decision is firm..
“All the laws that have supported our world for the past thousand years will collapse. Civilization will decline, and the royal authority of all countries ruled by magic will weaken. you are no exception.”
“…….”
“Everything that makes you special... … Are you really saying you're going to give up on yourself??”
“I am an ordinary human being.”
A person's value is not determined by what power he or she has..
“If there was a moment when I, an ordinary person, became special, it would be when I risked everything and took on a challenge. Like right now.”
A person's value is determined by how well he or she avoids the challenges he or she chooses. I think.
I am not a special or great human being. however.
I don't want to run away from the challenges I face now..
The emperor smiled, showing his molars..
“Do what feels right to you..”
I bowed my head once and continued my explanation to the death squad..
“As I said, the roots of the guardian tree are also the wedge that maintains the spirit world. There is no way the foreign media will allow this to be destroyed..”
I glanced upwards..
“So, Royalty’s ‘Monster Invasion’ side… … The world defense front against monsters must attract as much attention as possible..”
Currently, the attention of foreign media is focused on the ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’ who is invading royalties. It focuses on the greatest tragedy, the destruction of this world that she brings..
We are taking this opportunity to destroy the Guardian Tree in the spirit world..
“While the royalties hold out, we make preparations and burn all the trees at once..”
Once the Guardian Tree disappears, the supply of magic power from the spirit world to Inse will immediately stop..
Then, my heroes currently fighting on the front lines will immediately experience difficulties in supplying magical power. Without any more supply, we must fight using only the remaining magic power..
But this also applies to monsters.
A monster is a being that has been brought back to life by refining a nightmare. The origin itself came from magic. They will suffer a blow to their very existence..
Moreover, connections with foreign media will be immediately disrupted..
The 'Sleepless Lake Princess', who is directly controlled by foreign media, will also become weaker..
《After that?》
The Demon King asked coldly..
《The foreign media will immediately notice your attempt at treason. And even if all the guardian trees are eliminated, it will take time for the spirit world to completely close..》
“…….”
《Foreign media will directly extend their power here and try to force open the spirit world. In the process, they will also try to kill us..》
The Demon King crossed his arms and tilted his head..
《Of course, foreign media face various restrictions when they try to directly expand their influence in this world. Even if you use your strength, you will be quite weakened..》
“okay. So, like you, you directly jumped to the constellation and exerted influence on this world through an intermediary..”
Would you say the levels of existence are different? To put it another way, should I say that the frequencies do not match each other?.
Foreign media are powerful but distant beings. Because it is located in a distant outer world, it is difficult to exert full influence on our world. That is why they have intervened through intermediaries such as the Demon King or the White Night..
Although power can be used without going through such an intermediary, the aftermath does not properly reach this world. decreasing and being chipped away.
In other words, it's worth holding on to..
《On the other hand, you seem to have raised your level of existence in many ways, so even if foreign powers attack you directly for a while, you will be able to stand up to them. but…….》
“It'll be hard for a long time.”
I nodded..
No matter how much that power cannot be fully exercised without an intermediary, even if it is reduced and diminished, the level of power is different in the first place. Their foreign media is huge and infinite..
On the other hand, I am a small and finite being.
You may be able to hold out for a while, but eventually you will be crushed..
“Here, there is a ‘shot’ prepared by Ader..”
The original player of this destruction game. Ader.
When the name of the ancestral warrior who entrusted me with his duties came up, the Demon King's eyes narrowed..
“That stupid idiot director risked his long life to make… … A card that can only be used once. Preparing for royalties.”
《…….》
“If you use this card, you can definitely hit the foreign media..”
If Inse takes the baton again and delivers a blow,,
“While the foreign media was hit and retreated, the spirit world was completely shut down..”
I take over the baton from the spirit world once more and conclude..
I looked straight at the devil.
“This final closure must be done by you, devil..”
After a moment of silence.
《In the beginning, as a mediator, I selected this world as a place for entertainment and opened the door to the spirit world..》
The Demon King nodded slowly..
《Closing can also be done.》
And when the spirit world is completely closed, the intervention of foreign gods is also completely cut off.…….
All magic, mystery, and power disappear from the world..
The monster that lost its nightmare power also disappears, and just like that,.
our war is over.
“Now, the rough outline of the ‘Spirit Battle’ is as follows..”
I looked around the death squad and organized it..
Detailed operations will be ordered separately, but the overall framework will unfold like this..
The final battle between the royal world and the spiritual world must help and complement each other and work together..
《……There's nothing you can't do with words.》
The Demon King let out a quiet sigh..
《First of all, it is a theoretically possible operation..》
“So you followed me here too.?”
When I looked at him with a grin, the Demon King was silent for a moment and then.
《before start. I want to check.》
his voice trembled faintly.
《is she really here.》
I nodded..
“Follow.”
The operation has begun.
4The Great Gods all moved to the place where their respective guardian trees were planted, and the Emperor and Glory Knights rode La Mancha and flew into the air again..
Meanwhile, the Demon King and I headed to the space beneath Everblack's roots..
《…….》
Stepping on the white sand, heading under the roots of Everblack.
For some reason, the Demon King seemed a little nervous..
And we entered the narrow space beneath the roots..
“ash!”
There, as always.
There was a woman burning with her whole body tied to a thorn tree..
“What's happen? It was a little noisy outside..”
The goddess who asked kindly opened her eyes wide when she saw the being behind me..
“you are……?!”
《…….》
The Demon King remained silent and followed me into the space beneath this root..
“How about you, devil?.”
I asked him as he silently looked around..
“do you see her?”
《…….》
The Demon King, who was staring intently at the space where the goddess was, finally answered slowly..
《……no.》
He shook his head slightly..
《I can't see it.》
The goddess pursed her lips..
The Demon King continued..
《However, here is the complete emptiness that I encounter for the first time. There is such a complete absence here..》
“…….”
《And somehow, this void is warm. As if trying to warm this tree, this world..》
The Demon King slowly looked at the empty space in his eyes..
I looked straight up at the place where the goddess was..
《So you can tell. You are here.》
“…….”
《Even my own existence has been burned and I am alone here..》
Paradoxically, because complete absence is there,.
Because pain, emptiness, and loss are unmistakable evidence that something existed there..
《Really, it's here…….》
The Demon King saw a space that was just empty in his own eyes.…….
I swept the air next to the burning goddess' cheek with my fingertips..
《You foolish person.》
“…….”
《A person who lived only for others, not for himself..》
In the voice of the Demon King who took a deep breath, any further delusion disappeared..
《A thousand years, repeated infinitely, is already enough..》
He turned around and left the space under the roots..
《Let's get it over with now.》
After the Demon King disappeared outside.
The goddess who was breathing hard looked at me..
“ash. how… … What are you trying to do??”
I smiled at her..
“Oh, I'm so sorry about this. Goddess…….”
On purpose, a little more than usual.
Like a bad boy.
Smirking,.
“I need you to fall.”
“……huh?”
“All the way to the very end. completely. Everything left behind.”
The goddess, who blinked without knowing what was happening, muttered bitterly..
“what?!”
I smiled once more, then turned around and followed the devil..
‘This world was built wrong from the beginning.’
Like a Jenga puzzle full of gaps shaking from below.
It was a world that was wrong from the foundation..
Without power from outside, one had to live as a slave, and in such a world, beings who wanted to save their people made sacrifices for eons..
The laws of the world instilled from outside.
Salvation guaranteed by someone’s sacrifice.
Everything was wrong from the beginning.
therefore-
‘break it.’
I'll tear it to pieces.
I will destroy, destroy and destroy everything..
And, on top of the ruins…….
‘I'll start again from the beginning.’
No longer is someone dependent on someone else.,
A world where we can walk together as equals, at the same eye level, looking at each other..
Because I want to make.
therefore-
‘I will challenge you.’
Towards this huge wall blocking my path.
From now on, I take on the challenge..
When I went outside, the devil was waiting for me on the white sand beach..
I made eye contact with him..
There was no longer any need for conversation between us. We knew each other's intentions just by looking at each other..
That's right too.
Because we were bitter enemies who had been dividing each other's numbers ad nauseam..
“Here…….”
I stretched my right hand to the side..
Then a huge pillar of light fell into my right hand, and I caught it..
The pillar of light soon changed into a huge flag of light..
“I declare treason against the entire universe.!”
I planted my flag in the white sand with all my might..
OK,
flashing-!
With a dazzling halo of light, a brightly lit gray fortress began to rise from beneath the beach..
