Episode 576: The Shocking Truth (5)
Andres’ confession.
The timeline has become clear.
Even before the great catastrophe began, the Absolutes were already watching this world and waiting for the right time.
However, ‘The Life of Henry Albert’ came from beyond the dimension, and the Absolutes intentionally passed it on to Sebastian.
As the chronicles were interpreted, the great catastrophe began, and the finale was slowly prepared, postponing the time of descent as beings such as the Successors, who were not intended by the Absolutes, were born.
last.
The split with Roman Dmitry, who was summoned as hope for humanity.
That was the finale the Absolutes had hoped for, but Roman Dmitry himself appeared and the situation was reversed.
It was still just a hypothesis.
Even though Andres confessed, we cannot believe it 100%, and if the Absolutes had been preparing for the catastrophe for 30 years, it would be premature to say that they knew everything.
But there was one thing that could be said with certainty. At least the clear fact that the main enemy of humanity was not each other, but the Absolute.
Roman Dmitry said.
“The reason I first questioned the existence of the Absolute was because I had a similar experience in my previous life. Those who know the content of the chronicle will know that the Salamander Continent was attacked by the Demon World. The Demon King attacked the surface world to relieve his boredom, but in fact, it originated from the stale history of the Demon World. Long ago, even the Demon World was attacked by ‘monsters from beyond dimensions.’ It was a crisis as if the Absolute was driving this world to destruction, and the Demon World began to split into dimensions due to the devastation that followed. I believe that the monsters from beyond dimensions are the same being as the Absolute. Even if they were not, the results they caused would not be much different.”
This life and the past life.
Were linked by a chain of fate.
The two worlds were never unrelated.
“What do you think is the purpose of the Absolute?”
“… … I think it’s a game. Other than that, I can’t understand the actions of beings who are on par with gods.”
“Yes. They are aiming for the game itself. They are not gods, but they are equal to gods. Maronism must have been a really interesting device for them. It was a golden opportunity to divide humanity and summon the absolute being of the human world, ‘Roman Dmitry.’ They must have carried out the work of Maronism on the premise that they could handle me. Then I ask you. Andres says that the absolutes promised to leave a part of the world, but do you really think that beings who treat humans as toys will keep their promise?”
The conference room was filled with silence.
Everyone knew.
The fact that fulfillment of promises is nothing more than a wishful thinking.
Even if all ten great disasters were prevented, there was no guarantee that hope would be granted to humanity.
“The ending of the previous life is not unrelated to the present life. Just as the monsters from beyond the dimension drove the Demon World to ruin, humanity will perish because of the Absolutes. For the Absolutes, it would be more fun to watch humanity betrayed than to fulfill their promises. I have no intention of risking the fate of humanity on an uncertain hope. That is why I intend to unite this world and execute a single plan for the future.”
The board is set.
The leaders of the Korean Empire showed a grave expression.
They have already accepted the reality, but the heads of each country will be shocked by what is about to be discussed.
“The boundary of dimensions. I will go beyond it and directly execute the Absolute.”
* * *
A shocking statement.
The heads of state of each country were shocked.
The idea of dealing with the Absolute before the tenth catastrophe even struck was something that could not be accepted by their common sense.
It was the same.
As did the leaders of the Korean Empire.
As US President John Harrison said:
“… … I don’t think His Majesty the Emperor would have said an impossible plan. However, in a situation where it is difficult to defend against monsters attacking from across dimensions, we don’t know what kind of ending we would face if we confronted the Absolute directly. No, even leaving that aside, it would be difficult to find the Absolute beyond the dimensional boundary in the first place.”
“President John Harrison was right. Human beings need time. If they are not prepared, they can hasten their destruction by making hasty decisions.”
I was worried.
It was a sensible reaction.
Anxiety, nervousness, worry.
Roman Dmitry fully understood their feelings, which were clearly evident.
Many people will die.
Sacrifice is bound to follow.
However, it cannot be said that backing off on a decision was necessarily for the good of humanity.
“Time. Yes, it will take time. If we prepare thoroughly, we will be able to face the Absolute with confidence in ourselves. The problem is that the disasters and hopes that have befallen humanity all come from the Absolute. The Absolute brought disaster to this world, and at the same time, gave us the power to fight against disaster through the system. This contains an obvious truth. No matter how powerful we are, the Absolute determines the power that is allowed to humanity. Ten years from now or twenty years from now. Do you think we will be able to defeat the Absolute then? No, even then, we will have to put the fate of humanity on the mercy of the Absolute.”
It was the cruel truth.
Roman Dmitry tried hard to ignore it, but he brought out the truth and showed people the reality.
“Time is not on the side of humanity. This moment, which you think is unsettling, may be the worst possible timing for the absolute beings who are planning the aftermath of the tenth catastrophe. Whatever it is, we have no reason to play on the board they have created. And above all, this war will not be ‘only’ ours to bear.”
“What is that… … .”
People’s eyes widened.
They didn’t know.
Last year.
What Roman Dmitry has prepared.
“I will bring Dmitry’s world here.”
* * *
Absolute.
They figured out Dmitry’s world beyond the dimension.
After this world was destroyed, it was clear that they would toy with Dmitry’s world with stories related to Roman Dmitry.
Therefore, it was not a problem limited to this life.
If the fire demon was to spread to Dmitry’s world someday, it would be necessary to combine the power of both worlds to eradicate the existence of the Absolute.
Kim Pan-seok stepped forward.
“I will now explain our plans for the future. For the past year, the Korean Empire has been conducting experiments on dimensional travel magic, just like the Maronite Church. We have achieved significant results in a total of 19 repeated experiments, but have failed to secure a perfect passage between the two dimensions. However, after seeing Andres’ magic a little while ago, we have obtained a clue to solving the problem. If we use dimensional travel magic twice a year when the dimensions are perfectly aligned, we can secure a ‘passage’ between our world and Dmitri’s world.”
Maronite Church.
There was a reason for leaving them alone.
Kim Pan-seok watched Andres’ magic and saw with his own eyes the timing when their worlds interlocked and the technical elements that had to be in place.
It was possible because it was Kim Pan-seok. During his time following the Demon King, he studied the boundaries of dimensions in order to connect the Demon World and the Earthly World.
Although it was an act of malice, ironically, in this life it became the basis for saving humanity.

Humans.
No, even transcendent beings cannot guarantee that they understand dimensions more perfectly than Kim Pan-seok.
It was not an ability granted to him by anyone, but a weapon unique to Kim Pan-seok that he had accumulated over many years.
“And if we combine our powers with Dmitry’s world, it is not impossible to find the absolute being that exists beyond the dimension. Dmitry’s world is a world where magical civilization has blossomed. Their technological prowess will be of great help in carrying out future plans.”
Following Kim Pan-seok.
Roman Dmitry said.
“In fact, there is no reason for the entire world to unite in dealing with the Absolute. If I bring in Dmitry’s world, I can have powerful forces without your help. However, the reason I created this place while eradicating the traitors of humanity is clear. Trust me. I will personally confront and eradicate the Absolute that humanity says it cannot handle. In the process, what I ask of you is a sacrifice for humanity. The moment we decide to attack the Absolute, the great disaster divided into 10 may be compressed and cause humanity to despair. If that happens, countless people will die, but trust me and endure it. Trust me and fight against the monsters. The moment you break down the dimensional boundary and find the Absolute, I will definitely restore peace at the cost of your death.”
One plan.
It was a tough story to handle.
A dangerous plan that could wipe out not just hundreds or thousands of people, but all of humanity.
however.
No one objected.
The simple and reckless plan to ask for trust gave the heads of state an unknown confidence.
The past 20 years.
It was a series of despairs.
People found hope in promises that were not guaranteed, and they cried out for hope as if they were the clowns of the absolute, even though they knew the grim truth.
Roman Dmitry’s plan was different from his previous life. He said that even if countless people died, with one victory, humanity could directly achieve peace.
Was that why?
Breaking through the silence, one person spoke.
“… … I will follow. Whether I die in ten years or right now. If there is no hope anyway, I would rather believe in His Majesty the Emperor.”
“I will follow suit. As Your Majesty the Emperor said, I have been turning a blind eye to reality. Even if we prevent all ten great disasters, I am not sure that peace will be restored, and if I do not think so, the world will fall apart. Thank you for giving me hope. Even if it is a slim hope, I will gladly risk my life.”
“What can I do? If only humanity could regain hope, I would not mind dying.”
The will of the people.
It spread like wildfire.
People risked their lives not because of vague hope, but because they truly believed that they could grasp the peace of mankind in their hands.
I wasn’t thinking about international relations at the time.
China, the United States, Italy, Spain, etc. Some have joined forces under the name of the European Union, while others have been at odds with each other like oil and water, but none of that matters now that they have pledged allegiance to Roman Dmitry.
One group.
One purpose.
The intention was gathered.
Roman Dmitry accepted the strong desire of those who cried out for loyalty one after another.
“Your will be followed, and the plan will proceed as planned. Until the next time when dimensions will align, we must prepare for two things. The first is to strengthen the power of all nations, and the second is… … .”
Andres.
It became clear what had to be done with that being.
“The capture of the chosen ones.”
* * *
A huge space.
There were so many people crowded there that there was no room to set foot.
They were gathered around something, and one man asked the woman next to him with a worried look on his face.
“When on earth does this happen? It’s already been a month.”
“… … I can’t say for sure when either. What I can tell you is that a body that has lost its soul will die at any time unless it is artificially injected with life. If the ‘soul’ has clearly been summoned by someone, we must believe in the slight possibility and wait until the end.”
“ha.”
The man sighed.
I felt suffocated.
I was so angry, I wanted to scream like crazy.
But that couldn’t be done.
When I looked up, I saw a lot of people.
From commoners to nobles.
People of various social standings came here every day, all with a common purpose.
One man in particular had a haggard face.
He lived here as soon as he heard the news.
I used to get angry at him for just sitting there without eating anything, and tell him to please rest.
Knowing that he wasn’t the only one feeling frustrated and having a hard time, the man suppressed his seething anger while showing a miserable expression.
That was when.
Shudder.
“uh?!”
“Ooh, it moved!”
People were going crazy.
The man lying in the center.
He finally responded.
Everyone’s attention was focused on it.
As I watched, swallowing dry saliva, the man who had been lying there like a corpse lifted his eyelids with difficulty.
“… … Ugh.”
A moan escapes the mouth.
A familiar sight appeared before his eyes.
Dmitry’s world.
The moment he confirmed that he had returned to his original world, the man’s throat became hoarse and he let out a hoarse voice with difficulty.
There was one thing that absolutely had to be conveyed, more than any other words.
“Oh, I met His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. I finally met him.”
The man’s identity.
He was none other than Henry Albert.
