Part 2, Episode 236.
The identity of the entity that would resolve the doubt was, in fact, an unexpected being.
It is not because he is someone I am seeing for the first time in my life.
Rather, it was even more surprising because it was a being I had seen once.
[Ruler of Abtartel and Lord of the Five Thrones.]
[Encountered the fourth lord of the throne, ‘Fairy King, Lumisar Eldrasil’.]
It’s the first time I’ve seen you in your original form. How have you been, successor to the God of War?
“……yes.”
You look a bit uneasy? It seems you didn’t expect me to come here at all. Hehe.
To be honest, I didn’t expect it.
Who would have expected this?
It’s not just any king; if he is the Fairy King, he is one of the five kings who rule Abtartel.
Last time, I only saw the form with the will implanted, but I had never faced it directly like this.
I greet the ruler of Abtartel and the fourth lord of the throne.
Was Dohyeon not the only one surprised by the appearance of such a Lumisar?
The beastmen who had been freely scattered nearby had all knelt down and were paying their respects.
The Beast King also bowed his head deeply.
There was not a trace of shame or resentment in that appearance.
It goes beyond the level of a king of a small country having an audience with the emperor of an empire; it shows a naturalness akin to a subject welcoming a king.
Is this the gap between the owner of the throne and an ordinary king?
Dohyeon looked at Lumisar anew and inwardly let out a sigh of admiration.
“Master. It’s an incredible aura. It feels warm in some way, yet chilling.”
‘I know.’
Flowing blonde hair and pure white skin. Long eyelashes and big eyes.
Even the doll-like appearance characteristic of a young child, making it impossible to distinguish whether it is a girl or a boy.
It clearly has the same appearance as before, but the aura it exudes is completely different.
but…….
You look like you’re wondering why I’m here.
When Dohyeon did not deny it, Lumisar lightly snapped his fingers.
Then, a warm energy spread gently, forming a translucent film covering a radius of about 5 meters before disappearing.
[The Fairy King, Lumisar Eldrasil, forms a ‘Silent Vale’ within the surrounding radius.]
[It is not detected by normal senses.]
It is similar to the Silence Barrier that Gamillion cast, but is on a completely different level in terms of quality.
At the same time, Lumisar’s voice grew low.
His expression was also incredibly cold, but the target of that emotion was clear.
– Wolryeongdan.
“…….”
You managed to keep the piece safe even after meeting them.
The King of Power’s help was significant. There was also the intrusion from the Abyss.
It’s impressive that you held out until he arrived. Especially considering you went head-to-head with that man, of all people.
“……Is he such a great person?”
Is it really that great?
When I asked what he had been curious about all along, Lumisar let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded.
As if hearing the question of a naive child.
To inherit the will of the God of War yet not know what you are facing. What a ridiculous thing this is.
Lumisar shook his head regretfully and continued speaking slowly.
-Wolryeongdan. There are many epithets used to refer to them.
Five suns and moons.
Beings who are salvation to some and a terrible nightmare to others.
However, there was originally only one alias that referred to them.
– The Broken Order of the Gods.
“……yes?”
They are a knight order that protects the god who has become nothing but a remnant and carries out his will.
However, there was only one god to whom they obeyed orders.
-Cardium.
A tragic god who once vied for the top spot but was demoted after his divinity was shattered by Kasiyar.
Kadium, the former mythical god and god of the apocalypse.
That is the guy’s true identity.
“……crazy.”
Oh my god. Is this for real, owner?
It was a truly shocking identity.
‘This crazy game… …! No wonder it was ridiculously strong—it couldn’t have been helped, right?’
I wonder why, no matter how hard I struggled, not a single attack landed properly.
Why the powerful of the abyss showed such a reaction.
Everything made sense.
At the same time, I had to barely hold back the curses rising from the depths of my lower abdomen that were pounding in my throat.
He is not a king who ruled a continent or a monster who went around causing trouble, but a god.
Not just a god, but a powerful figure who even competed for the top spot.
Then doesn’t that mean it’s a mythical god?
I knew that the moment to confront the gods would inevitably come someday, but to do it so soon…
I didn’t expect to face Shin Hwa-sin right from the first round.
But does this game have at least a shred of conscience?
Although he was a competitor for the top spot in the past, he has lost his authority and unique abilities after losing his qualifications as a god.
-When the fragment falls into their hands and the fate of the apocalypse is fulfilled… … he will regain all his power and ascend to the divine throne once again.
“Why don’t the gods stop him? If he regains his power through the fragment, their positions will be in jeopardy as well.”
-Block him? The gods?
Lumisar let out a hollow laugh and answered firmly.
Cardium’s power of ‘the End’ is the ability most needed by the gods. In fact, there are more gods who revere him.
“her…….”
Above all, for the gods to fully descend into the present world, the destiny of the apocalypse must be fulfilled.
In other words, this means that whether or not the gods descend is determined by the performance of the Moon Spirit Group.
Even if they are a force keeping Cardium in check, it is safe to say that they are on the same side now that they share the same goal.
‘Avtartel-class quest… …was that what it meant?’
This is literally a planet-level quest.
The challenger… so if Dohyeon’s faction wins, they will drive out the gods, and Kasiyar will be released from the eternal seal.
Conversely, if the executor side wins… … .
Abtartel falls completely into the hands of the gods.
At that time, there will be no such thing as the master of the five thrones.
‘God’ simply rules everything, and NPCs and users will live under that rule.
You can view it as a sort of turning point.
But will there be a place for him there?
He’s the successor of Kasiyar, openly defying the gods?
No, putting that aside, is God of Savior, ruled by these invaders, really a game as free and heart-fluttering as it is now?
That can’t be true.
Even if guilds trying to dominate everything by force run rampant, games are something that can be ruined in an instant.
Moreover, this place is not just a game, but another world.
Over 1 billion users enjoy God of Savior, and its influence has even reached reality, with countless office workers relying on it to make a living.
It is not without reason that quite a few people have chosen the path of an opponent.
For them, the defeat of a rival would be like losing a dream or a job.
The reason there are so many who choose the path of an executor even in this situation is… … .
It must just be because the opponent seems likely to lose.
then…….
You just need to show that you are not at a disadvantage.
That is the right thought. Although, due to revelation, present-day humanity has sided with the gods without knowing the truth, they are merely one species.
On the other hand, this side has not only the races of Laxia, but also the races of Elanis.
While most of these races may be weaker than humanity on their own, there is a wide variety of species, and among them are many powerful individuals such as Elf Elders and Beast Kings.
If there is one thing I regret, it is,
The divine beasts remain neutral. It will be difficult to borrow their power.
As long as you do not invade their territory or touch something precious, divine beasts basically do not interfere in worldly affairs.
The opponent isn’t a fool, so there’s no way they would go out of their way to stir up a hornet’s nest.
It doesn’t matter.
They aren’t the only ones who started to move as the long-standing agreement was broken and the promised day arrived.
Lumisar’s eyes, meeting straight in the eye, glow green.
I was facing Dohyeon, but I wasn’t looking at Dohyeon.
The comrades and friends who stood shoulder to shoulder in ancient times, existing beyond.
-Bahargon, Jotunheim, Neresium, Eldrasil, Archaesion… … .
These are the names symbolizing the first through fifth thrones in order.
The last seat was vacant.
Since humanity stepped down from the throne, no species with qualities superior to those of the original human race has emerged.
He merely ascended to the final position. In ancient times, humanity’s strength was such that even the gods were wary of it.
As long as the human race does not go extinct, ‘Archasion,’ the last throne, will not recognize a new master.
– The race closest to Hana Archesion will lend its strength.
Who is that?
Isn’t it behind?
The back? If it’s the back… … crazy?
Dohyeon turned his head, then opened his eyes wide.
He realized that there was only one species here.
“-What, what? Was this old man that strong? No wonder I had a bad feeling all this time…”
… … You were a formidable warrior, my lord.
“What? When did Charlie get here?”
It is only natural for a sword to stay by its master’s side. Sensing something unusual, I rushed here immediately.
It seems no one could hear a sound because of the barrier of silence.
When even Charlie, who had approached before he knew it, looked at him in surprise, Suwang let out a hearty laugh.
These are the achievements he has accomplished since taking the throne. He will be a great asset. Besides him, those who challenged for the throne will surely lend their strength.
“That is all in the past. Now I am just a washed-up old man.”
I had a feeling something was off.
Essentially, excluding the other masters, doesn’t that mean that old man is the strongest among all existing alien races?
Thinking about it that way, Eliza seemed even more amazing.
If it’s a divine beast that protected such beastmen, just how powerful must it be?
It seems the title of “King of Divine Beasts” was by no means an empty name.
Admiration was short-lived.
Lumisar opened his mouth with a somewhat troubled expression.
– This is not enough.
Is that so?
With this level of power, isn’t it worth a try as long as the users don’t all turn their backs?
No sooner had I thought that than Lumisar continued speaking.
They have a weapon. The dirtiest and most terrible weapon.
“What is it that makes it so…….”
Seeing Lumisar frown as if disgusted by the mere thought, I asked cautiously, and he answered while biting his lip.
-abyss.
“……!”
The filthy gods joined hands with the abyss.
“But the powerful of the Abyss were clearly hostile toward the Moon Spirit Clan, weren’t they?”
-The Abyss has no ruler. Only the mighty exist. However, even those seven mighty cannot rule the entire Abyss… … .
God joined hands with the beings of the realm they do not rule.
No, to be precise, it was correct to say that a ‘specific god’ captured it.
Because the Abyss is fickle and keeps no eternal allies, a god with the power to forge absolute covenants has stepped forward.
And at that moment, a god flashed through Dohyeon’s mind.
“Wait a minute, if it’s a specific god like that… surely not.”
Right. You’re right.
The god that inevitably appears in the tutorial.
One is the only god that Dohyeon could not see.
The goddess of Abtartel, and the one who carries out the task of plunging the user into the abyss once and destroying the vessel.
– Goddess of all things, Seraphiella.
That was the mastermind behind the Moon Command Group.
