Chapter 75: It’s Not a Crime to Bring Things from Another World!

 

The Immortal Realm also has laws.

 

Though more lenient than the human world, breaking them still results in punishment.

 

Are immortals usually eccentric?

 

Especially the veteran immortals of the Immortal Realm are unpredictable beings.

 

The Immortal Realm is a kind of exile.

 

Ascension isn’t a blessing earned by the enlightened, but a separation of those who gained transcendence from the human world.

 

Humans are beings of infinite possibility.

 

Depending on their will, they can extend in any direction.

 

But human lifespan is finite.

 

This serves as a form of control.

 

Whether a warmonger who killed millions, a serial killer, a cult leader deceiving the masses, or a tyrant exploiting people for greed, they all eventually die.

 

Thus the chaotic world becomes peaceful again.

 

The finitude of lifespan is a kind of self-purifying function.

 

But what if there’s a human who gained immortality?

 

Even if not now, what if there’s sufficient possibility?

 

Humans who understood the world’s principles and don’t die.

 

Regardless of their disposition, they must be separated from human society.

 

The Immortal Realm is exactly such a place.

 

A world where transcendent beings separated from the human world gather.

 

For this reason, immortals are no different from prisoners.

 

They know this well themselves.

 

The Heavenly Immortal Realm controlled immortals through very effective methods.

 

Unless they committed special crimes, they guaranteed maximum freedom in the Immortal Realm and occasionally sent them on tours to the human world.

 

But what if they committed a grave crime that could shake the Immortal Realm’s foundation?

 

Naturally, they’re punished according to the law.

 

Then what punishment do immortals receive?

 

Having gained immortality, they don’t die even when killed.

 

Then exile from the Immortal Realm?

 

For whose benefit!

 

Immortals would be happier if exiled.

 

The punishment immortals fear most is ‘sealing’.

 

Having their power suppressed by magical restraints while spending thousands or tens of thousands of years crushed under giant rocky mountains, or entering gourd prisons unable to come out.

 

The most terrible punishment for immortals.

 

Danggumak the Poison Immortal was imprisoned in the Immortal Realm’s Prison of the Mind.

 

He might soon face the fate of being sealed.

 

The game console, tablet, 4K beam projector, and generator from the theater were all confiscated.

 

Soon he would be judged by the magistrate’s scales.

 

He had already undergone the first interrogation.

 

Fact-checking about everything that had happened.

 

The immortals desperately argued to avoid the punishment of sealing.

 

“The Poison Immortal demanded we give him Seondo to watch videos, what could we do! If he asks, we have to give. So I stole it.”

 

“I’m not guilty. Is the consumer the problem? The supplier is the problem.”

 

“If the Poison Immortal hadn’t brought those things, I wouldn’t have robbed Dowon.”

 

“Think about it. Before the Poison Immortal ascended, we lived knowing nothing. But after he appeared in the Immortal Realm…”

 

“We became addicted. Why else would Seonin Danggumak’s immortal name be Poison Immortal?”

 

Because of the Poison Immortal, the Poison Immortal bewitched us, if not for the Poison Immortal.

 

They were all shifting blame to Danggumak.

 

Damn traitor bastards.

 

No matter how scary the punishment of sealing, this wasn’t right.

 

Of course, there were many immortals who took Danggumak’s side.

 

The most representative was the Swordsman.

 

“Hey, you bastards! You locked me in this shitty prison called the Immortal Realm and ignored me, and now you come saying we disrupted order?”

 

The Swordsman raged wildly even with the magistrate’s shackles on his hands and feet.

 

“I did it all, you scoundrels! The Poison Immortal is an immortal who brought us the joy of entertainment. He’s ten million times more excellent than bastards like you! So don’t touch the Poison Immortal!”

 

Taebak the Immortal Winemaker also.

 

“Damn Heavenly Immortal Realm, when was it that you eagerly bought my delicious liquor, and now you blame the Poison Immortal? I’ll never sell liquor to you again. No, I won’t even make it. Try imprisoning me if you want!”

 

The Demon Valley Immortal too.

 

“You’re asking if I made the Poison Immortal set up barriers? What crime could a newly ascended immortal have? I did it of my own accord.”

 

Many other immortals also protected Danggumak.

 

Though fewer than the traitors.

 

Now the remaining procedure was the final judgment.

 

Danggumak walked into the courtroom with the magistrate’s shackles on his hands and feet.

 

The magistrate’s shackles are a kind of immortal arts control device.

 

Wearing them seals one’s abilities.

 

He couldn’t even open the Infinite Space.

 

Naturally, the Shared Warehouse too.

 

Inside the solemn courtroom.

 

Heavenly guardians emanating terrifying auras were lined up on both sides, and Taesang Nogoon and Seo Wang-mo sat together in the center.

 

“Bring the evidence!”

 

The guardians brought the Earth objects confiscated from the theater and immortals and placed them before the court.

 

Taesang Nogoon looked at Danggumak with cold eyes and spoke.

 

“Poison Immortal! I’ll give you a chance for final argument. What’s your reason for bringing these ominous objects and disrupting the Immortal Realm?”

 

Then Danggumak opened his mouth with a mocking expression.

 

“The Immortal Realm was disrupted? It looks perfectly clean to me.”

 

“Are you saying the act of invading Dowon and stealing Seondo was justified?”

 

This bastard… does he think I’m easy?

 

Even having ascended, the nature of Jeoldaedokma doesn’t go anywhere.

 

Even in a situation where he can’t use his power.

 

“Did I do it?”

 

“…What?”

 

“Are you saying I stole the Seondo?”

 

“How, how dare you! All this stemmed from you. Didn’t you demand Seondo! You also leaked Seondo and treasures to another world!”

 

“Then I should show those precious objects and videos for free? And if I received something, I should repay it. You call yourself Taesang Nogoon but don’t even know the simple law of equivalent exchange.”

 

“Huh!”

 

“I was already feeling sorry that the repayment for the objects I sent was woefully insufficient… These things can’t be settled with just a few Seondo and treasures!”

 

Taesang Nogoon’s face turned bright red.

 

Seo Wang-mo stared intently at Danggumak with interested eyes.

 

“Despite bringing objects that shouldn’t exist in the Immortal Realm, you shamelessly claim exchange. You have no shame!”

 

“Hahaha!”

 

Danggumak laughed heartily.

 

“Who decides that?”

 

“What?”

 

“Who decides that what I brought are objects that shouldn’t exist in the Immortal Realm?”

 

“The order and laws of the Immortal Realm decide that.”

 

“Really?”

 

The order of the Immortal Realm.

 

Actually, this was something Danggumak had been curious about for a while.

 

“Isn’t it strange? If order and laws say so, it should have been impossible from the start.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Shouldn’t the pathway for communicating with other worlds have been blocked from the beginning? But why was it opened?”

 

“Uh…”

 

“Why did the Immortal Realm’s order allow exchange with other worlds? It would have been fine to just block it.”

 

“…”

 

“Why do that tablet, beam projector, and generator operate without any restrictions?”

 

Taesang Nogoon couldn’t say anything.

 

Because Danggumak’s words were correct.

 

The Immortal Realm is a closed space no different from a prison.

 

External objects that aren’t permitted cannot enter.

 

Even if forcibly brought in, they would vanish or lose their function.

 

“I’ll tell you what I suspect.”

 

Danggumak looked directly into Taesang Nogoon’s eyes and spoke.

 

“Because small order cannot go against great order.”

 

“…Great order? Wh-what is that supposed to be?”

 

“How would I know? You don’t know either.”

 

“You scoundrel! Are you trying to bewitch me with wicked sophistry?”

 

“Ahhh! Your chatter goes on forever. Let’s hurry up with the trial. Isn’t it time for judgment?”

 

“Fine! Let’s see how the scales weigh!”

 

Taesang Nogoon took out the magistrate’s scales.

 

This was a treasure that Yama had created for the order of the Immortal Realm.

 

The essence of all natural elements existing in the Immortal Realm was put into the scales.

 

The energy of the Immortal Realm, the water of the Immortal Realm, the fire of the Immortal Realm, earth and stone, wind…

 

And through a separate ritual, it was created containing the laws of all things in the universe.

 

The scales that Yama originally used were made to judge humans.

 

If the scales tilted left, it meant good karma; if they tilted right, it meant evil karma.

 

But Taesang Nogoon’s scales were for judging immortals.

 

An immortal’s karma is neither good nor evil.

 

It’s either harmony or chaos.

 

If harmony, they would be released; if chaos, they would probably be sealed in darkness where no light enters for tens of thousands of years.

 

“I will render judgment.”

 

Taesang Nogoon placed the weight on the scale.

 

“I report to the Heavenly Deities, please render judgment upon this rogue immortal who has disturbed the Immortal Realm and gone against reason.”

 

Then the scales moved.

 

The scales still remained in chaos.

 

“Look at this. Where do you see the weight now? Chaos! That means your actions are… huh?”

 

Suddenly the scales moved.

 

They slowly rose from chaos toward harmony.

 

“Wh-what is this?”

 

Finally, the scales passed neutrality and reached the edge of harmony.

 

“I see harmony. Is that enough now?”

 

I knew it would be so.

 

If it didn’t make sense, it wouldn’t have been connected from the beginning.

 

Taesang Nogoon stared blankly at the scales.

 

Right at that moment!

 

Clank, clank.

 

The magistrate’s shackles that had bound Danggumak’s hands and feet also came undone by themselves.

 

The verdict was not guilty.

 

“Tsk tsk, how can someone who commands immortals be so ignorant.”

 

Danggumak walked forward leisurely.

 

And he put all the Earth objects that had become evidence – the tablet, generator, beam projector, and so on – into his Infinite Space.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Whirrrr…

 

The Shared Warehouse opened just in time.

 

‘Oh!’

 

Danggumak hurriedly took out the items and transferred them.

 

But currently, the only thing he could give was Seondo.

 

‘If only I hadn’t been captured, I could have sent a few more treasures…’

 

He felt nothing but sorry toward Tae-ju.

 

‘Let me pack it full of Seondo at least.’

 

Fortunately, more than 150 could fit.

 

To think he had to put only Seondo in this large space.

 

After handling everything, Danggumak looked at Taesang Nogoon and asked.

 

“May I go now?”

 

“Wh-what on earth, th-this kind of thing, great order? There was a greater law above the laws of the Immortal Realm?”

 

“I told you I don’t know either. Anyway, items just arrived from over there a moment ago.”

 

“…Again?”

 

“Some new things just came, so take a look.”

 

Danggumak took out something new he’d never seen before from among Tae-ju’s return gifts that he’d moved into his Infinite Space.

 

A square bag made of sky-blue leather material, with a metal lock on the front, filled with various sweets arranged so they wouldn’t get crushed.

 

As many as 5 such bags had arrived.

 

When Danggumak took out the strangely shaped bag, Seo Wang-mo immediately showed curiosity.

 

“…Danggumak, what is that?”

 

“Ah! This bag? It’s a Hermès Birkin bag. It’s a precious item that women from other worlds desperately wish for. It’s not something you can buy just because you have money.”

 

“H-Hermès Birkin bag?”

 

“Shall I give you one?”

 

“…Th-that bag, you mean?”

 

“Absolutely not! How could I just give such a precious item to anyone! What I meant to give you is the chocolate inside this bag. Try tasting this.”

 

Danggumak reached into the bag and took out a handful of chocolates and candies, placing them on the table in front of Seo Wang-mo.

 

“The inside of the bag is small. I should draw an Infinite Space magic circle and put it in.”

 

Then he put the bag back into his Infinite Space.

 

“Ah!”

 

Leaving behind Seo Wang-mo’s regretful sigh, Danggumak walked out of the courtroom with shuffling steps.

 

Though his innocence had been proven, he still didn’t feel good.

 

It was because of the immortals who had turned their backs on him at the crucial moment.

 

‘These traitors!’

 

When they were watching, eating, and enjoying together, when was that.

 

Just wait and see.

 

From now on, there won’t even be broth.

 

Meanwhile, Seo Wang-mo, with obvious regret, was still only looking at Danggumak’s retreating figure.

 

Right then!

 

Rustle rustle.

 

Taesang Nogoon was unwrapping one of the sweet foods Danggumak had given and putting it in his mouth.

 

“…What are you doing right now?”

 

“Well, Danggumak told us to try the taste…”

 

“Did he give that to you? He gave it to me. Get away!”

 

Seo Wang-mo hurriedly swept the chocolates, jellies, and candies into a basket.

 

Then she also picked one up, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

 

Chew chew.

 

It was sweet.

 

And it was delicious.

 

A taste he had never experienced before.

 

For Seondo, it was a taste she ate daily, and it was sweeter and more delicious than honey made by the great wasps of the Hwansu Realm.

 

But even eating sweets could never satisfy her desire.

 

That beautiful bag kept lingering in her mind.

 

* * *

 

Great Wall Wave Defense Headquarters.

 

Generals, princes, and princesses gathered in the situation room.

 

A drone was deployed from a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

 

So they were able to confirm the dead Beyond Elite demon beast.

 

“…It’s really dead.”

 

“Decomposition has already begun.”

 

The corpse of the Beyond demon beast was rotting and decaying in places.

 

“What about crystal reactions?”

 

“None at all. No mana reactions either.”

 

No mana reaction was understandable since it was dead, but no crystals either.

 

“Was there none originally?”

 

“Maybe that man who killed the demon beast took it.”

 

“That’s a shame. Still, just in case, should we send a special forces team?”

 

“There? Can’t you see the screen? Demon beasts are swarming in.”

 

The Beyond Elite was dead.

 

Now that area was transforming into a regular demon beast concentration zone.

 

Demon beasts that had been driven from their territory were returning.

 

For this reason, the Great Wall war was also coming to an end.

 

The number of demon beasts surging toward the Great Wall like a tide began to gradually decrease.

 

Some even started fleeing south.

 

As time passed, the demon beasts disappeared without a single one remaining.

 

The Great Wall Wave Defense Headquarters watched the situation for about another day before finally declaring the end of the war.

 

【Beyond Elite is dead! Humanity’s victory against the demon beast wave!】

 

【His Imperial Majesty also sent commendations to the defense headquarters.】

 

【Opinions divided on merit rewards, who achieved the greatest merit in this war?】

 

There was no disagreement on this part.

 

【Participating soldiers unanimously claim that Taehong recovery potions, Taehong Saengibulkkun, and Taehong Saesalssugsseuk ended the war.】

 

【Miraculous victory with not a single casualty.】

 

【Citizens’ demands pour in for Taehong Saengibulkkun and Taehong Saesalssugsseuk to be commercialized quickly…】

 

However, suspicions arose about how the Beyond Elite died.

 

【The cause of the Black Demon Dragon’s death remains unknown.】

 

【According to Ministry of Defense officials, it’s presumed to have died naturally.】

 

【A Beyond Elite demon beast died naturally?】

 

【Experts demand the release of Black Demon Dragon movement footage, calling it nonsense.】

 

Tae-ju had already returned to Gurye.
