31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 558)
When half of the King of Geum was purged by the Judge, a strong backlash arose in his realm..
Most people suspected that there was some kind of deal between the judge and the three surviving gold kings..
But, that's it..
There was only suspicion, no certainty, and no one could ask the judge about this..
It was just an airing of dissatisfaction..
They also felt that no matter how much they were kings of gold, they were ultimately just traders..
The Universal Council, which is supposed to maintain order in the universe, was also unable to intervene. In any case, in the end, several merchants lost their lives, and going for something like that is a loss of authority..
It must have been burdensome for them to have to stand in conflict with the judge for the sake of beings who only had that..
As a result, everything ended smoothly. Now the three gold kings of the Judge, the colossi have greedily absorbed the assets and business base left behind by other purged gold kings..
There wasn't much of a fight.
The three of them were greedy, but not overly greedy..
Here again, there was concern that the anger that did not reach the judge could turn its arrows on the three golden kings..
But surprisingly, that didn't happen. Not only did this incident make me realize that the Geum Kings were ultimately nothing more than puppets of the judge, but also because among the three Geum Kings, there was no one particularly worthy of finding fault with..
There are giant metahumans, dragon race dragons, and even humans from supernova..
They were all people who became golden kings through personal ability, not power. The public is sensitive to a given environment and talent, but tolerant of effort and struggle, so they acknowledged their existence..
Janet evaluated this incident this way:.
“It's quite a bullshit story. judge guy….”
Everything is as the judge wills..
A suspicion arose that perhaps she would have survived whether she had knelt on the spot or not..
The judge may have already decided which statue to save..
“Hello Janet, nice to see you again..”
The Akashic guard calmed down and said,.
“I thought I should at least study the history of the stars so I could survive next time.!”
Her words can be interpreted in many ways.
The guard didn't bother to ask any more questions..
“That's why Akashic exists here and why we protect it..”
“that's right.”
“Even the prophets of the universe took time to realize the power of fate in the birth and death of stars.….”
Janet, who didn't want to hear any more of the guard's annoying tastes, ended the conversation..
“Anyway, I'll go in.?”
“Entry is permitted.”
After receiving permission from the guards, she sets foot in Akashic..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The recording and playback device emits light.
The planet to check the records is, of course, Pandea..
“…I really enjoyed it, I. ha ha ha!”
She was caught up in this unfortunate planet. To its fate, to its gravity.
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
As before, a library has appeared where the history of Pandea is recorded..
She was no longer interested in this place..
This is a piece of history that has been built, and it is the path that Pandea has walked..
Everything in Akashic is a record, but it is also a transcription. Akashic simply uses the power of the stars to write down things that have already been decided..
Yes.
It's fate.
It's a cool story where everything is set..
“Except one place in this wide universe.”
Supernova Pandea.
Strangely enough, the end of the story that began in Pandea is still unknown..
A huge amount of information caused confusion and the ending was obscured..
Janet confirmed that the door she had broken earlier had been returned to its original state..
I profit…
This time, the door was opened quite kindly. That look almost looks polite..
universe.
From here on, the library did not take shape due to the excessive amount of information..
It just repeats a series of processes of recording all the information pouring in and spitting it out in a book..
fighting…
Tuk…
it rained books.
Books are piling up like mountains everywhere..
She turns away from the boring reality and volunteers to be seduced by fate..
“Anyone who can do something like this... It definitely exists here too. I know yeah… Are you wrong?!”
She climbed the mountain of books and shouted.
“how… What are you trying to do? In the wasteland of faith... On a planet that is barely surviving what little life is left,.”
As expected, there is no answer.
like a god.
god wanted god.
I wanted his existence..
sea of doubt.
“Who are you, what do you see and what do you draw?….”
Oh God.
“Show it to me too! The future you see! That blasphemous intention!”
There was no answer this time either..
“……Are you saying I'm useless?.”
Janet laughed bitterly..
That moment.
Cheeeeee…
“eww… Ugh?”
Her left eye began to burn. Jet-black ash, roaring.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
She has to struggle in tremendous pain. However, a strange smile appeared on her distorted face..
Soon, I couldn't hold back my laughter and burst out laughing..
“Hahahahahahaha! Is that so! Hahahahahaha!”
She was completely mad..
Surrendering to the joy greater than the pain.
The reason she lost one eye was because she was faced with information she couldn't handle..
The pouring information created a tearing sound..
- Finally….
* * *
A lot of things have changed in Tymolon since Ttukgi’s declaration..
The ogres' livelihood is now banned..
The era when they only yawned and filled their stomachs without fighting is over..
thud…
thud…
The ogres were divided into pre-planned locations and trained..
They, who did not know about the virtues of leadership and loyalty, accepted this change without much opposition..
Kang Seol glanced at Ttuk Ttuk..
‘This person achieved it.’
The army of Ttong-i is not disorganized and not careless. With that alone, it was clear that their power had become several times stronger than before..
“If the world wasn't so confusing... What kind of future do you think you dreamed of??”
“This is a boring question.”
If is meaningless.
Nevertheless, Ttuktuk answered Kang Seol’s question..
“I think they might have cut out the wildness..”
an unexpected answer.
“Their change started with me. I can refine their unrefined wildness and turn them into violence, or I can make them harmonize by letting the reason they never had before remain within them..”
From here on, it’s a choice.
however…
“It's just me making the choices, and once I'm gone, everything goes back to itself. If that happens... The result of choosing violence is that you will be hated, and if you are unlucky... You will be hunted. like in the past.”
He continued to say.
“However, the situation will be quite different for those who choose unity. if… We will create a basis for the expectation that.”
“…basis for expectations?”
“for example… In fact, aren't they just immature? Could it be because we failed to establish a proper leader? Maybe we can go back to how it was before?”
“…….”
“These expectations, which are no different from suspicions, will be turned into opportunities. If I get the chance, I'll go back to where I was before. How is it? I gave a plausible reason why harmony is more reasonable than violence..”
“…surely.”
Seeing the power of the ogres gathered around, Snowfall felt her heart warming up, but at the same time, her worries deepened..
Because I know things are still difficult..
As if he had sensed the signs of snowfall, he said,.
“Snowfall, how many opportunities do you think our team has left??”
“…once at most.”
“no.”
“There was an answer.”
“Yes, there is an answer.”
Kang-seol ponders for a moment over Dduk-tki’s words. How many chances will he think he is right?.
Kang Seol remembered the answer..
“…Is there no chance??”
Smart laughed..
“That's correct.”
“why….”
“The Allied forces expended as they advanced toward Montra amounted to half of their strength at the time. One perfect opportunity was wasted. If it were me, I wouldn't have made that choice... Did I tell you that things that have already passed have no meaning??”
“If there's no opportunity, what are we ready for??”
“What I'm talking about is the opportunity at this point, in this situation..”
“It's hard to understand. Are you saying that things will be better later than they are now??”
“Rather than explaining in words, it would be better to show you..”
thud…
thud…
We headed somewhere with Bamion and Snowfall..
Huge communal space within the building.
It had a shape similar to a tunnel and was slowly digging downward..
“Let's walk together.”
“…….”
Snowfall entered the underground and asked.
“…How far does it lead??”
“See for yourself.”
The crypt was huge.
No, it was so large that it cannot be described simply as huge..
It is large enough for more than ten ogres to walk sideways holding hands..
‘This… Was it made with the movement of troops in mind??’
Smart said.
“Animals are sensitive to smells. Ever since we settled here, we have been concentrating on this underground passage. The civil engineering knowledge and skills of Lord Barmion's dwarves were of great help..”
“Hahaha! yes. It was easy for us to be with big guys..”
“then… Have you been preparing for over 2 years??”
“…That's right. It took a lot of time to get around the deserted ground, but somehow we made it..”
thud…
thud…
They arrived at a crossroads with five or six branches..
The route seemed to change here..
giiiiing…
Bamion touched the engine mechanism studded with jewels, which looked unusual at first glance..
Cheolkeong…
Right now, nothing happened..
“Hahaha, just wait a little bit. We're talking.”
snowfall asked.
“How far will this place go? I think I understand.”
“I expected you to notice..”
“…Cannes. Even if I can’t do it, it will continue to that area..”
“…….”
Underground, not overland.
Why was such a long tunnel created?.
“First of all, it had to be free from the external environment. If we had to be threatened every time the army of death surged in, the damage would be severe..”
“Obviously, Tymolon is far from supporting Khan..”
“That's not it. Tymolon will never support Khan..”
“…what is that?”
“Second, because this place was not designed as a simple underground passage..”
This also raises questions.
However, when Kangseol soon faced the changed environment of the underground, he was able to erase that doubt..
Giiiiiiing-
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeoeoong-
“…track.”
Until here, the track continued..
Kugoong…
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co…
I felt something approaching this place at great speed..
Far away, a being emitting light.
“oh my god….”
“If you remember seeing that, you might be even more surprised. Because the size was slightly increased..”
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co…
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
A being that stops right in front of them.
“castrang!”
Smart laughed..
“It also absorbed some Federation survivors, and fortunately, it appears that some of them left there with the blueprints for this mechanism. I guess I picked something up that I thought would be helpful. Unfortunately, it is not the final version, so it will be somewhat sloppy and the pace will be unstable..”
“still….”
amazing.
The size of this Castrang was jaw-dropping. It is large enough to carry even an ogre without difficulty..
“Let's go!”
Smart got on the train and offered, showing his palm..
“Let's get on.”
“…….”
As Snowfall boarded the train, Castrang began to move..
“…How long does it take to get to Cannes??”
“Still two days. I expect about a day and a half within a month..”
That alone would be a significant contribution to this war..
But the snowfall continued to hang on to what he said before..
- That's not it. Tymolon will never support Khan..
“Earlier… What does it mean that Tymolon will never support Khan??”
“That goes along with what I said earlier about how the remaining opportunities are not enough..”
- What I'm talking about is the opportunity at this point, in this situation..
- It's hard to understand. Are you saying that things will be better later than they are now??
Smart said with a cold face..
“The situation doesn't get any better. It just gets harsher..”
two days later.
Capital of the Khan Empire, Hongyeon's royal bridge.
“Big, big trouble.!”
“What's going on without a message?!”
said the messenger out of breath..
“Well, come out and see for yourself.….”
The patrol leader was led in front of him and what he faced was a man in black and an ogre..
the ogre said.
“There is no time. Let the precious people here know that we are here..”
“he… Hehehe….”
