I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 267

Earth Normalization (3)

Baek Jin-woo explained everything that had happened since he entered the Tower of Trials.

The battle of wills with Earth and what information he had gained from winning it.

Why reality had become this way, and why Earth had to make such choices.

“Hmm.”

“Hah…”

Yu Ji-a and Baek A-jin had to gape in surprise.

No matter what happened, they thought it was all over now…

But there was still an entity called the Arbitrator remaining!

And that might even be just the tip of the iceberg!

“This is too much…”

Yu Ji-a in particular couldn’t recover from the shock.

It was obvious that Baek Jin-woo would have to shoulder everything, and what lover would welcome such a situation?

But she was rational and reasonable.

Someone had to do it, and she knew that Baek Jin-woo was the only one suitable for this world.

“Don’t try to shoulder everything alone, Jin-woo. This could be a long fight.”

Yu Ji-a quietly took Baek Jin-woo’s hand.

“I’ll definitely be with you too.”

Baek Jin-woo didn’t say anything for a while after hearing Yu Ji-a’s words.

At first, they had been business partners who started for each other’s benefit.

And they boasted perfect compatibility too.

But now they had grown attached, and had even shared love.

It would be a lie to say he didn’t envision a future.

However?

The path ahead was even more treacherous and overwhelming.

It was a situation where he had to take Yu Ji-a on such a path.

He felt sorry.

But he couldn’t refuse.

Even if their positions were reversed, it would have been the same.

“Thank you.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

“Let’s fight together. Whether it’s the Arbitrator or whatever.”

He felt relieved.

And reassured.

In fact, he had never been alone from the beginning.

He had summoned creatures that followed him, Yu Ji-a, and SKY members.

“Let’s make the announcement first. We promised. The public should know roughly what’s going on.”

There were many concerns.

Would it be right to reveal the entire situation?

Or would it be better to hide some parts?

There were pros and cons.

If they revealed everything, they could gain trust.

They could also prevent adverse effects like distrust that would arise from being exposed later.

They could also induce active cooperation and prevent confusion from fake news or rumors spreading.

However, there was also the panic that would come from revealing everything.

Not everyone had strong enough mental fortitude to endure such a situation.

The expedition members including Rachel, and SKY members gathered to discuss.

As a result, they decided to reveal only part of it along with some lies.

Yu Ji-a held a press conference.

– Today I stand here to make an important announcement. I judged that we need time to explain the confusion and changes you have all experienced so far.

The entire world held its breath and focused on her words.

– The expedition succeeded in climbing the Tower of Trials. I cannot explain the details here, but in conclusion, Player Baek Jin-woo alone succeeded in climbing to the 100th floor. Thanks to that, we were able to delete the monsters desperately trying to end Earth and restore this world to its original state.

“Wow!”

“Woooah!”

Cheers erupted from everywhere.

“As expected!”

“It was Baek Jin-woo! Baek Jin-woo conquered the tower!”

“Amazing, how did he take the direct route to the 100th floor?”

“That’s how strong he is.”

– However, it’s not completely over yet.

“Huh?”

“What?”

“What else is left?”

– In the process of conquering the tower, we realized there is a larger external entity that threatens humanity. We call this the ‘Arbitrator.’

Murmurs spread.

The word ‘Arbitrator’ was repeated among journalists, followed by shocked expressions.

– The Arbitrator is not a simple enemy. It is an entity that can change everything we know, the very laws of this world. And we are preparing to fight it.

A journalist raised their hand.

“What exactly is the Arbitrator? Is it a direct threat to our survival?”

Yu Ji-a calmly nodded.

– There is a high possibility it will be a direct threat. However, we have our own countermeasures.

“What countermeasures?”

– There is one entity in this world that has not lost its abilities.

“…If they haven’t lost their abilities.”

– Yes, as a special privilege for conquering the 100th floor of the tower, Player Baek Jin-woo was able to maintain his summoned creatures.

“That means…”

“Wow.”

“Wooooooooooh!”

The public’s reaction was explosive.

“Those summoned creatures are maintained? Then that means Pokryong and Aso are still there!”

“Then we’re secure! If it’s the Pok-A combination, whether it’s the Arbitrator or whatever, there’s no problem!”

“Of course! Look even now! With those members, he cleared up to the 100th floor of the Tower of Trials alone!”

“Wow.”

First of all.

Just that one fact made the public feel relieved.

Concerns existed, but they didn’t fall into endless fear.

– Our Yubaek will accept the existing expedition members as staff and collaborate together to fight at the forefront for humanity’s protection. Don’t be afraid. Just as we have so far, this time too we will definitely achieve victory.

While conveying the situation to the public, they also indirectly let them know that Baek Jin-woo was the hero who had to fight alone.

The ‘invincible’ image that Baek Jin-woo had built up over time.

His physical abilities and skills that overwhelmingly surpassed even Rachel, who was ranked 2nd in the world!

As a result of all these things combined, the public sent tremendous trust.

Especially the fan clubs went crazy.

Ramba, Hunkyo, Pokryong, Aso, Doldoli, Jakgeo, Dampir, Eila, Runde, Mayeo, Myeongmang…

All the summoned creatures were public and enjoying tremendous popularity.

In such a situation, they were still remaining!

They could continue to see them!

Everyone clasped their hands together in joy.

Humanity was naturally struggling.

Many people had lost family and friends.

So they needed something to rely on, something to become absorbed in.

That was precisely Baek Jin-woo’s EX-grade summoned creatures.

– Please support us. We will not fall.

Yu Ji-a’s final words.

Those were deeply engraved in the hearts of the public.

The diseased Earth began to recover.

Even the collapsed nations rebuilt themselves as survivors joined together to establish temporary governments and build their countries.

During this process, conflicts arose as borders were redrawn.

But the majority were generous.

The situation wasn’t favorable for emotional fights, and compromises had to be made for survival.

Especially.

Now “Yubaek” had become the new order itself.

With Rachel, now part of Yubaek, at the center, all conflicts were resolved and everyone complied with her words.

Yubaek established itself as the guardian of the new era, helping nations rebuild.

Thanks to this, each country quickly regained stability.

Cities that had been reduced to ruins by war and disaster were restored.

At first, they considered establishing a unified Earth government.

But it was rejected due to Yu Ji-a’s opposition.

Earth is vast, and there are many peoples.

It wasn’t possible to present alternatives that would satisfy everyone.

They were already busy preparing for the Arbitrator, and getting involved in politics was even more undesirable.

Instead, they became an absolute alliance organization.

An international judicial body that suppressed conflicts between all nations and resolved disputes!

Since Aso alone had more combat power than all nations combined, everyone had no choice but to comply.

Some factions opposed Yubaek’s intervention.

They argued that Yubaek’s control was tantamount to controlling the world.

Particularly, factions that valued traditional national sovereignty found Yubaek’s existence burdensome.

But what could they do?

If you don’t like it, then you stop the Arbitrator.

Yubaek wasn’t in a position to care about trivial situations or demands.

They used most of their capital and manpower to care for Baek Jin-woo.

The sky over Geomdan Mountain was blue as always.

Yubaek City was intact, and people had returned to their daily lives.

Only one thing.

Only Baek Jin-woo was quietly preparing for battle.

‘Arbitrator.’

To face that terrible thing, he had to raise all his summoned creatures.

Still, there were 4 years left.

If he maximized his power during that time, wouldn’t the chances of victory be sufficient?

At least, that’s what he believed.

However.

– Jin-woo!

The door burst open and dazzling silver hair fluttered.

It was Eila Lunares, who had been checking and learning how to use planetary power for a while.

“Eila? What’s wrong?”

– Something terrible has happened!

Her face was urgent.

– The Arbitrator’s speed has increased.

Instantly, the air in the room froze.

“What?”

Baek Jin-woo’s expression hardened, and the bodies of Hunkyo, Ramba, Pokryong, and Aso who were with him also stiffened.

– It’s approaching much faster than Earth predicted!

“Exactly how much?”

Eila took a breath and stated the definite fact.

– It’s not 4 years, but 1 year.

“Crazy.”

Baek Jin-woo shot up from his seat.

The moment he heard that number, his heart sank.

Only 1 year?

“You’re not joking, right? Well, Eila isn’t the type to joke around.”

– I’m serious. I just confirmed it.

Ha.

Earth, that bastard.

“It was already giving me cancer when it was the System, and now its calculations are wrong too?”

– It says the calculation isn’t wrong.

“Then?”

– It doesn’t know! It seems something accelerated the Arbitrator’s movement!

“Damn it.”

Before he could even make a proper plan, things became urgent.

Now there was no time.

He had to force awakenings and increase training intensity.

“Let’s move.”

– What should we do first?

“Hunkyo.”

– Yes, Master.

“From now on, focus all your time on Aso. Anything is fine. Learn other skills from Wuji Immortal, or improve the proficiency of what you’ve already learned.”

– Understood.

“If you need anything, tell me right away.”

– Yes!

“And Mayeo.”

– Meow?

“You look for methods too. This kind of thing is your specialty.”

– Got it meow! I’ll tell you right away if anything comes up meow!

“And Eila.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“You haven’t deleted the copies of other worlds like the Celestial Realm or Demon Realm yet, right?”

– That’s correct. The World Tree is still intact. And… that Wonhwa you mentioned before is also in the Demon Realm.

“Right.”

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes lit up.

“The first thing we need to do.”

It was to engrave the Black Flame Fire, one of the 10 Wonhwa that Earth had introduced, into Pokryong’s heart.

“Prepare to depart immediately.”

– Yes, Jin-woo!

Eila answered.

Now only 1 year remained.

Baek Jin-woo was finishing his preparations to fight alone for humanity.
