chapter 52
A small monster like an eel hiding on the floor was swimming through the muddy water. Life has almost disappeared, but not completely.
I didn’t use this magic simply to turn the ground over. If that’s the case, it’s much more efficient to just call upon the spirits of the earth to help. Earthquake is a well-known magic among high-ranking wizards, but it is a magic that few people use.
The reason is simple. Efficiency is extremely poor. Unexpectedly, the power came out, but even though I just used almost all my power, it only slightly changed the terrain in an area less than 200 meters away. If this magic were effective, who would throw fireballs on the battlefield?
I just thought this magic would be the best way to attract attention and influence something underwater.
The eel demon beast swims toward me. It seems to be trying to fill the stomach while hiding. Even though it’s small, it’s big enough to swallow me in an intrusion. However, it will never be a good choice for eels.
“Water Spear”
Several giant spears made of water were created and passed through the eel demon in an instant. The poor eel witch couldn’t even come close and began to sink to the bottom full of holes.
Then, something came out of the hole the Water Spear had made in the eel’s side. At first I thought it was an organ piece, but it wasn’t. There is no such thing as a piece of internal organs that emits light.
I caught it before it hit the ground. It was truly bizarre. At first glance, it looked like a red jewel, but the feel of it in my hand was not that of a jewel. It felt like a living creature.
And the shape was unknown. Even though I was looking at it with my own two eyes, I couldn’t determine the shape. It wasn’t that the object was changing. It just seemed that my eyes were being dazzled. It was a triangle, then a square, and then it looked like an octagon.
Taking my eyes off it like that, I couldn’t think of anything else and looked at it for a long time. There was something in the translucent jewel that kept changing its shape. I brought the jewel in front of my eyes to take a closer look at it.
It was hell. Inside the jewel, it was the hell itself that humans could think of. Consciousness is sucked into the jewel. But I couldn’t resist. I thought I had to get away, but I couldn’t move my body and consciousness on my own. The soul was being sucked into hell.
I felt it now. A faintly familiar feeling emanated from the jewel. It is an energy that a creature that dares to be weak cannot resist. This is a thing related to God. And maybe that’s the cause of all this.
The entrance to hell has been opened. Nothing actually happened. My soul sucked a little into the opening in the jewel and began to peek inside. It wasn’t a hell inside. Hundreds and thousands of hells overlapped.
Whether it was a side effect of the body and soul being separated, or the fear of seeing thousands of hells, my body began to tremble. In that short moment, consciousness returned a little.
‘I have to go back.’
If you get sucked into the jewel like this, will you die? It’s probably nothing. You need to regain consciousness focused on the jewel. Let’s think differently. I thought of the many things I had seen, experienced, and the stories I needed to record.
Slowly the soul began to return to its place. And when I got out completely, I thought that if I did well, I could catch and eat this in reverse.
As I was staring at the jewel like that and about to enter the power struggle, there was a ringing sound around me.
[It’s mine!]
In an instant, his concentration was broken and his body shrank. Of course, they can do this.
The seabed begins to rise. It was as if the whole earth was moving as if it were raising its body. And it became the shape of a giant hand.
[Put it out!]
A gigantic hand attacks me with terrifying speed that is not befitting its size. Even so, I could easily avoid it by moving in space, but I couldn’t move.
die like this? I almost died even in the state of a soul, and I thought that I could die someday, but I didn’t know that I would die like this in vain.
The giant hand moved and one of the fingers tried to crush me, but a huge tentacle flew from behind and snapped it.
[Where! It’s mine!]
It was a familiar voice. I live a long life if it is long enough, but I did not know that the day would come when I would be happy with the tentacles.
But things didn’t get any better. In front of my eyes, a great bloody battle of monsters, or a battle of the gods, was about to take place. It looks like my back is going to burst in the fight of the gods, not the fight of the whale.
Even though they were just in a confrontation, the energy the two gods exuded was tremendous. It felt like my body was about to collapse. If you still use your strength, the protective shield will collapse and you will die from the water pressure. You have to get out of the way.
[Cthulla!]
Now, the first god who stood up with his upper body instead of his hands glared at Ctula with a very angry face.
It was also the first time I had seen Cthulla’s body. Normally, I only saw numerous tentacles, but now I can see the whole body. Surprisingly, all I’ve seen so far is part of Cthula’s head. The rest was human-like.
That new god must also be a foreigner. Because Junon is the only god in this world. But is it okay for those nobles to come out and walk around like this?
[Nyala!]
Cthula’s red eyes began to glow. At the same time, the pressure around him loosened a little. I didn’t miss the opportunity and immediately teleported to the surface of the water.
At the same time as I came to the surface, a column of water thousands of meters high rose like the sea exploding. From the perspective of the clone remaining in the deep sea, the foreign gods were just starting to clash.
It’s not safe here either. I continued moving without stopping and arrived at the land. However, the clash between the two foreign media had an aftermath to this place as well. The ground shook and a frantic column of water rose in the distance.
I watched the avalanche from the highest mountain on the coast. Anyway, it was clear that the two foreign media still wanted this red jewel that I was holding in my hand. Soon after, a huge tidal wave hit the land. This time, the tsunami caused by the deep-sea monster was not something to compare.
Tidal waves as high as several tens of meters hit the land. On the shore, the vibrations caused by the battle in the deep sea felt like an earthquake.
The battle of the foreign press, seen through the eyes of an alter ego, was beyond common sense. Mountains were created and seas parted with one blow of their fists.
The battle did not end easily. And the damage to the continent was getting bigger and bigger. The damage caused by the tsunami and earthquake was already incalculable.
Almost a month passed like that. Due to the fight between the two foreign media, a new continent was eventually created in its place. The great earthquake that occurred in the aftermath of the two gods fighting changed the terrain.
‘Was this the origin of the great land?’
I remembered Junon’s oracle and smiled bitterly. Confusion? Can we say that the destruction of this world is simply chaos?
The worst was happening. no it’s already happened If there is an earthquake large enough to create a new continent, what will happen to the other continents that already exist? Half of the western continent has sunk. Mountains collapsed and continents were literally torn apart.
Demonic beasts in the Great Forest and Dragon Mountains came out in all directions and a massacre took place. Rivers disappeared and groundwater cut off, causing people to die from lack of drinking water. Bandits were infested with food shortages. The mighty Aether Empire was no longer functioning as a nation. The death of the emperor from being crushed by the collapsed imperial palace was now only a very trivial incident.
The situation in the eastern continent was similar. Seventy-five percent of humanity died in the aftermath of a fight between two foreign presses for barely a month. The Akasha estate was also not safe. The entire estate sank. The only ones I brought out alive were fifteen.
“How long will this go on?”
I fell silent at Howard’s question. Of course I don’t know either. Rather, I thought that if I had died from Nyala’s fingers and handed over the jewelry, such a great tragedy would not have happened.
I tried to go to Anger and ask if a new oracle had come down, but Anger was swept away by a tidal wave on the very first day and died. It shouldn’t be like this. If this continues, the world, not mankind, will truly perish.
Decided. Go and die in a fight with foreign media, or throw a red jewel between the two and bargain. will stop this calamity.
“I’ll try to stop somehow”
Will I die if I go now? If you intervene in the battle between the two gods, you will surely die. I still have to go. A laugh came out. Am I the only one who can save this world?
“Thank you Jake, Argin, Joseph and everyone for following me all these years.”
“Lord!”
Realizing what this greeting meant, Jake ran out, but I started moving before Jake’s hand could reach mine.
The place they arrived at was the northern part of the western continent in the past. The two foreign presses were still attacking each other with everything they could.
As soon as I moved to the vicinity of the place where the two gods were colliding, I felt as if I was hit by a shock wave and my breath stopped. With just that one shot, my weak body was torn apart. As soon as you heal with the Power of Healing, the next shockwave comes flying. It managed to spread a protective shield to reduce the impact.
“Cthullaaa! Nyalaaa!!”
I called the two foreign presses the loudest I could. But the fighting did not stop. Was the sound low? no it wouldn’t have been I’m new, so there’s no way I couldn’t hear it.
“Hey you bastards!!”
No, it seems that the octopus and the anchovy bastard made a mistake in swearing. I tried to shout once more to correct it, but the battle stopped like a lie.
The two foreign presses turned their heads and looked at me with angry faces.
‘Ah, I guess I’m really dying now.’
Wouldn’t it be the first time for mankind to curse two gods and die?
“Here is a jewel. It’s none of my business what the two of you do, so can we stop fighting?”
As I held out the red jewel, the eyes of the two foreign media shone. I guess I really want to have it.
[It is mine.]
[Originally mine.]
Two gods reached out to me. Oh, so if I give it to someone, will the fight finally be over? Just when I thought, they were already punching each other again.
“Stop it!”
Of course they didn’t listen to me. I think the time has finally come to call them octopus and anchovy bastards. But in the middle of the fight, someone appeared.
[What are you doing in my world?]
It was the face of a handsome middle-aged but tired look, a face I knew. The two foreign media stopped fighting. No, like the last time I borrowed Angour’s body and descended, the time around me stopped.
[Junon]
Ctula pretended to know and took a step back. But it wasn’t Nyala.
[Are you Junon of lies and love?]
Nyala looked down at Junon with a very arrogant tone. And just as one of Junon’s eyebrows seemed to frown, Nyala’s body began to contort.
[Nyala of foolishness and chaos, you are indeed foolish. Are you against me in my world?]
[No, no! I was wrong.]
Nyala, who had been contorting, shook her hand and ejaculated, and Nyala’s body returned to normal. Junon, who had been coldly looking at the two foreign media, turned to me. It was quite far away, but what a god. That wouldn’t be a handicap.
[Come closer]
The moment Junon said, I was already in front of Junon. It’s not that I moved.
[Did you see it?]
Junon’s finger pointed to the red jewel. It seemed like he was talking about hell inside.
“I saw.”
[You endured well.]
A warm smile slipped past Junon’s lips as if he were looking at a well-raised child.
[You heard that? This is from the record.]
Junon said as if to declare. The two foreigners were silent.
[Tell me the price if you want to have it.]
Junon spoke again. I don’t know what this red gem is, but it seems to be of great value. At that point, the two foreign presses would have fought like that. On the other hand, it’s not worth much to me. I feel like I’ll absorb it if I do well, but I’m not sure what will happen to me when I absorb thousands of hell-filled gems.
[I will prevent the three disasters that will come to you]
It was Nyala who proposed first. It is reliable because it is guaranteed by the gods to ward off evil. But it wasn’t what I wanted. Now it is Cthula’s turn.
