Chapter 82

#Episode 82

Even against the rock-type monsters swarming like a flock of sheep, Demiurgos didn’t change his expression one bit.

“Vector matrix activation.”

Rather, he handled the fortress like his own body and began shooting down all the flying monsters.

The crew members aboard were left agape at Demiurgos handling this massive fortress like a living organism.

Originally, against enemies of this scale, they would have had to prepare for an all-out war.

But the current Demiurgos crushed all approaching enemies with just a few gestures.

Once the battlefield was properly cleared, the view opened up and finally a path toward the Sea of Oblivion was opened.

“If the entry alone is this difficult, it would have been terrible for regular battleships.”

“Even if they suffered great damage, they would have broken through.”

“That may be true, but… I don’t think Nova would have said such things just because of something like this.”

The words that the most humans died at the boundary weighed on my mind.

It didn’t seem like humanity’s technology would be pushed back by mere monsters like these.

“Ultra-massive energy convergence phenomenon has been observed.”

“Well, of course.”

And sure enough, Demiurgos sounded a red alert.

The grayish-white rocks scattered everywhere began gathering together.

The number was so overwhelming that it was impossible to properly gauge how many there were.

The massive golem formed by the gathering rocks flashed its pure white eyes.

I could instinctively tell that this was the very entity that had killed countless humans.

Even in this situation, Demiurgos remained calm without any change in expression.

“Shall the Ascended One handle it, or should I strike?”

At his words spoken as if something like that wasn’t even worth considering an opponent, I shook my head.

“I’ll handle it. You should conserve your strength just in case.”

“Understood. I’ll transport you to the battleship deck.”

“Okay.”

Shortly after, I was transported to the deck wearing a translucent protective barrier.

Nia seemed to have some plan as well, but there was no reason to borrow help in a situation I could resolve on my own.

“Phew… I think this is the first time facing something this big.”

Among all the enemies I’d faced so far, this was overwhelmingly the largest.

It was even bigger than the fortress, so how could it not be?

I calmly drew in a breath and began operating my death force.

The aura of death covering my entire body rushed forth at its master’s command.

The black sphere formed above my hand slowly began transforming its shape.

‘What weapon would be most efficient…’

Since its size was larger than any decent high-rise building, ordinary weapons wouldn’t even come close to working.

‘I’ll have to make it burst from the inside.’

Before entering combat, I completely captured its form in my eyes.

Which part would be most fatal?

If I just killed it half-heartedly, it would obviously regenerate.

That thing wasn’t a giant life form, but the very will created by small monsters gathering together.

Then there was only one method.

Completely break the will to regenerate again.

‘This is the first time using it this way…’

I strongly compressed the concentrated death force.

I layered death force over it several times, going through more than twenty processes.

Then I spread death force widely over it again, making it look like a spear from the outside.

Finally, I rotated the tip like a drill for penetration to pierce through its outer shell.

Even with just that, its size exceeded 3 meters, but even this was no more than a toothpick compared to that thing’s bulk.

But this should be enough.

I stepped forward with my left foot and exploded my full strength to throw the spear with all my might.

Shwaaaaaak-!

The spear that flew through the darkness struck precisely at the giant’s heart.

Soon the spear wriggled and was absorbed into the giant’s body.

I glared at the giant and opened my palm so it was visible.

All the compressed death force spread widely throughout the giant’s body, completing the transfer to its hands and feet.

“Now!”

As I clenched my fist tightly, the death force exploded as if it had been waiting, creating black thorns.

The giant’s entire body was instantly shattered while being sliced by the thorns of death into tiny fragments.

I had intended to turn it completely into powder, but its toughness was no ordinary thing.

‘If it’s this tough against death force, no wonder humans were slaughtered like that.’

I clicked my tongue and held my breath for a moment, watching to see if the giant might regenerate.

Fortunately, the giant didn’t regenerate, so I moved back to the control room.

When I returned after finishing the simple battle, the crew members in the control room except for my companions were staring at me with their mouths agape.

Some were even trembling at this incomprehensible power beyond their understanding.

“Now that the path is clear, let’s move quickly.”

“Ah… Y-yes, understood!”

The tension among all the crew members eased slightly, lightening the atmosphere.

* * *

After crossing the boundary of the Sea of Oblivion, the interior finally appeared.

Now I could somewhat understand why it was called a ‘sea’ within space.

It was because countless continents were scattered throughout the vast expanse of space.

The sight truly resembled a sea, giving the feeling of sailing across a vast ocean.

And among them, the first place we arrived at was the City of Fools.

From the outside, it looked like a pristine white futuristic city.

Usually, a white city would give off a sacred or clean feeling, but for some reason, this city gave a strong impression of having lost its color.

“Creepy.”

“Yeah, it feels like a living corpse.”

“Huh? That! Over there, aren’t those humans??”

Humans could be seen moving faintly in the distance.

Some were inspecting the city while others were busily moving somewhere.

It truly looked like a city where humans lived busily.

“Let’s go down for now. There might be missing people there.”

“Understood!”

When we descended the castle and docked next to the city, we could definitely see more people.

From the outside, they appeared to be faithfully carrying out their assigned roles.

“…No one is reacting.”

“Yeah.”

However, despite a massive battleship the size of a castle being docked, the people in the city showed no interest whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Nia, who was the last to disembark, carefully observed the city’s people and said:

“There’s a 92 percent match with personnel confirmed on the missing persons list.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes, there are traces of shipwrecks everywhere. It appears they suffered damage at the boundary and fled here.”

Even when we approached closer, the city’s people didn’t even pretend to see us.

They were moving as if we were completely invisible to them.

“Something’s strange…”

Their souls are fine.

All of them possess human souls. Their bodies are also alive and well.

When a rescue ship arrives in such a remote area, they should be crying with joy, yet they’re so absent-minded like this.

‘I feel like something like this happened before…’

Ah.

I remembered.

The thing I encountered in Sejong City.

The Memory Devourer.

It feels similar to that time.

Of course, back then proper interaction with people was possible, but now even that was impossible.

“Let’s at least try talking to them…”

Just as I was about to try speaking to them.

The moment I uttered a voice, I felt something strangely stained watching me.

I had tensed my body enough to react sensitively to each and every such gaze.

I threw a crescent-shaped blade toward where I felt the gaze without a single error.

The blade shot from my hand instantly cut off the end of something.

“…A robe?”

The end of a black robe was cut, revealing something.

“To notice this, this generation’s Ascended One is quite perceptive.”

It was a being dressed in a black robe from head to toe, holding a book with a dark red cover in its hand.

The patterns embroidered with gold thread throughout the robe gave off an indescribable sense of emptiness.

It had a human form, but possessed an alien soul that wasn’t human.

I immediately understood why the people in the city were in such a state.

“So it’s you who made people like this.”

He looked at me intently and his lips trembled.

“Not killing inferior beings and letting them live is already a very merciful act in this Sea of Oblivion.”

The creature, speaking as if it had done nothing wrong, already viewed humans as nothing more than tools.

A groan escaped me involuntarily at that disgusting gaze I had received so tediously often.

Regardless, the creature puffed out its chest and said:

“I am the Scribe of the Void, Nemos. My hobby is collecting epics.”

Along with those words, countless books appeared behind him.

The books, mixed with all kinds of colors in a colorful array, each emanated an ominous aura for some reason.

“What I love most are the epics of Ascended Ones like you!”

As the books opened, countless attacks stored within them began pouring out.

Kaaang-!

Mixed in were attacks clearly based on magic, not just future technology.

It seemed the creature had devoured countless Ascended Ones besides me.

But among those attacks, none were lethal enough to threaten my life.

When I swung Desperado as if tearing through dimensions, they were annihilated before reaching me.

Seeing this, Nemos widened its eyes and flicked its tongue.

It looked like someone savoring the sight of delicious food, which was utterly disgusting.

Nemos briefly stopped attacking and pointed at me with its finger.

Then everyone in the city stopped what they were doing and began staring at me.

The empty gazes pouring down were chilling for a moment, but having experienced this once before, it wasn’t particularly impressive to me.

“You… your narrative… those stories… give me your heroic tales.”

Its trembling fingertips conveyed pleasure beyond mere ecstasy.

The disgusting gaze made me unconsciously click my tongue.

“Why should I do that?”

“No! If it’s you, you must do so. With the narrative you’ve built, those heroic tales, you won’t be able to refuse.”

When the Void Librarian gestured, a book appeared above each person’s head in the city.

“The extinction of stories means the extinction of existence.”

I could predict what the Scribe was planning to do.

“If you don’t hand over your story to me, I will annihilate every human in this city.”

“…As expected, so that’s how you’re playing it.”

This was something I had experienced once before when facing the Memory Devourer.

Threatening me by holding the humans in its grasp hostage.

Back then, I was so powerless that I ended up giving away my memories with a gambling mindset.

But now it’s different.

The me from then and the me now have become dimensionally stronger, and as a Monarch, I’ve gained much more power.

So now, I will never again fall for their wicked schemes.

“Negotiations have broken down.”

“Hmm, to think you’d make such a foolish choice.”

“It won’t be more foolish than negotiating with you.”

Darkness descended upon the City of Fools.

A massive black coffin announced death to the city.

“Watch carefully, you insignificant creature.”

This place is no longer the City of Fools.

This is the Realm of Death ruled by the Lord of Souls.

Technicolor lines extending around Nemos began to become visible.

Those lines were all connected to the humans in the City of Fools.

“Once, for starters.”

A black slash that appeared without any warning severed countless bundles of lines.

The books behind Nemos disappeared in droves and were reabsorbed by the humans in the city.

As it should have been all along.
