chapter 455
Destroyed World (1)
Tyrant Dragon Tyronax.
That vicious being, who caused a storm whenever he got the chance due to his dirty personality, was a symbol of fear and disaster itself in this world.
It has an enormous size reminiscent of a mountain peak, two pairs of huge wings to match, and sharp horns and thorns sprouting from its head and other parts of its body.
The overwhelming physical force coming from the mass could easily crush anyone, and, befitting its dull-looking size, its physical abilities, such as senses and reaction speed, also reached the realm of the transcendent.
The scales on its entire body were made of the hardest material in the world, and its enormous vitality and resistance were at a level that could not even be imagined.
Even the wounds suffered while dealing with that being could not be recovered by any means…
It was no wonder that so many warriors had tried to slay the tyrant dragon for world peace, but had perished in vain.
If his intelligence level wasn’t that of a slightly smarter animal, the challenge itself would have been impossible in the first place.
A predator that literally sits atop the ecosystem.
And now the tyrant dragon Tyronax…
Crumble— rumble!
His entire body was covered in wounds and he was thrown down the mountainside, causing a huge landslide.
[Kaaa——!]
The tyrant dragon stuck its head out from the collapsed mound of dirt and roared wildly.
A crying sound filled with emotions such as anger, pain, irritation, and frustration.
[Hoo? Can you endure this? As expected, he’s a notorious guy, so he’s different from the others before him. It would be a great material. I thought this world was a mess, but I guess I can be quite satisfied with this.]
However, when Hans faced the bastard, he was able to recognize another emotion contained within it.
A vivid fear that cannot be hidden even with wild ferocity.
[hehehehe, be quiet. Because I will make you more free. Your compatriots will also come and wait for you first, so you won’t be lonely.]
A blazing black sun rose from one of his upraised hands.
An artificial sun that spreads darkness, as opposed to the real sun that spreads light on the world.
As the energy spread in all directions, all surrounding living things within the area of influence withered away in an instant.
And right after that.
Kwaaang——!
A large earthquake shook the ground in the area, along with a pillar of black fire rising high into the sky.
It is so incredibly destructive that a large mountain can evaporate entirely.
The earthquake that occurred as a result caused pain in distant cities all at once, but Hans, who was already preoccupied with the sturdy creature in front of him, did not have the presence of mind left to pay attention to that.
[Are you still breathing after being hit by this? indeed···.]
He nodded slowly, his eyes flashing.
Expectations were high as to what kind of masterpiece would be created if that monster-like body, a special product of this dimension, was turned into undead.
[Koooooo——!]
[Kyaaa——!]
At that moment, two huge dragon skulls protruded from the shadow of the tyrant dragon struggling below and bit down on its collar.
Three large bodies tangled together in an instant and rolling around on the floor.
It didn’t end there.
[You must hunt without causing as much damage as possible.]
[I’m almost on the verge of death. I can finish it soon.]
The executives of the Immortal Army who appeared afterwards began to attach themselves to the body of the tyrant dragon one by one.
In order to kill him clearly and cleanly and make him their comrade.
Unlike dragons from other dimensions, there was no need to feel remorse because they were like beasts without reason.
From what I gathered through Olivia, they were bombshells who only caused trouble everywhere.
‘I haven’t had any income so far, so I need to take care of something like this. Harley also took care of her health after a long time.’
Now, quite a bit of time has passed since I left Devore.
In the meantime, Hans had passed through two more dimensions and arrived at Milleria, the fourth place, but since the first time, he had never discovered any suspicious traces of Buncheonhoeju.
Compared to previous worlds that were on the verge of world destruction, they could only face ordinary troubles like this tyrant dragon, which were trivial.
‘Well, if you think about it, this isn’t even a closed dimension yet. There were some doubts in the process of analyzing the memories, so I visited first.’
Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like I had made a mistake once again.
It was not strange, because once you become a transcendental person, there is a very high probability that memories will be lost in the process of breaking through the mental barrier.
Of course, this situation wasn’t that bad.
Rather, it would have been more difficult if there had been arrangements made by Beoncheonhoeju wherever he went.
Just finding out that the guy’s influence wasn’t that big could be seen as a harvest in its own way.
‘Still, I’m on a business trip to collect information, but it’s a bit weird to keep making nonsense of it.’
It was a decision made based on the reasonable belief that there would be more traces left in a place where the operation was in progress than in a world where everything had already ended.
It seemed that in order to achieve the goal, the next destination had to be a more likely level.
‘Then it turned out that there was one suitable closed dimension left. Based on the information in the collected memories, there is a very high probability that there was external intervention…’
When Hans was lost in his thoughts.
Ugh—
A subtle vibrating sound came from within his arms.
He glanced at his subordinates who were in the midst of dismantling Tyronax, the tyrant dragon, and collecting the loot, and took something out of his pocket.
Ugh—
Something that reacts even more violently when it comes out.
It was a pendant with a single ornament attached to the end of a thin chain made of rare metal.
Of course, the ornament that Hans possessed was by no means an ordinary item.
[Oh my, I still haven’t come to my senses.]
Hans lifted the pendant and held it in front of his eye socket, lamenting slightly and shaking his head.
The ornament hanging at the end of the chain with a blazing gaze—looking straight at the grotesque-looking eyeball.
It’s not easy to stop—
A black thunderbolt flickered at his fingertips.
Without any hesitation, he placed his finger on the moving eyeball and crushed it.
The eyeball twitched repeatedly and wriggled to escape his grasp, but of course it was only a pointless resistance.
‘That’s amazing. How can you resist to the end like this even though your existing ego has already been completely crushed? Is it because of residual thoughts left in the body?’
Indeed, he was a being of such high rank that he was called the Great Devil.
In addition, the strong obsession with life that was unleashed at the last moment must have made him like this.
‘I benefited greatly from that too. If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t have been able to make something like this.’
Hans, who had become calm again, held the pendant in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
Wasn’t it all thanks to this special item that he was able to use the ‘Infinite Archdemon’ powers on McCarthy?
He is both a necromancer and the pinnacle of warlocks.
As long as the materials and conditions were met, it was not that difficult to make a ‘demon-infused weapon’ by mobilizing all mysteries such as necromancy, demonic contracts, and magic tool production.
‘Of course, if several coincidences and luck had not been on our side, it would have been impossible to create an object with this much power.’
In any case, the Infinite Archdemon was also a being who ascended to demigod status.
Considering the situation in Devore, where there was no being who could be called a god, unlike in the normal dimension, perhaps because the main character had the tendency to be an evil god, it is reasonable to say that the demons, each in charge of a single ‘concept’, were in a kind of god-like position. place.
It might be a normal deteriorated version, but it couldn’t have been that easy to make an item that contained that much power without loss.
‘If the true body of the devil, who was in a sort of brain-dead state and was not completely extinct even after being sentenced to death, was obtained… I wouldn’t have thought of using that either.’
Even after going through all the processes to complete the product, it was impossible to make multiple pieces because of the huge load that would continue.
Even Hans can maintain just one of these, so what more can I say?
‘I want to make more anyway, but I can’t because I don’t have the ingredients.’
However, since we have the know-how gained through this work, we will be able to proceed more easily the next time a similar situation arises.
The first time was purely accidental, but once you succeed, the second time becomes easier.
If we did more research in the process, the problem of only being able to use one might be improved.
‘If that’s the case.’
When Hans was looking at the pendant.
[O king… Everything has been sorted out…]
[hmm.]
Hans looked around calmly at the sound of a voice coming from a short distance away.
The scenery around him had already changed to the point where it was no longer visible from the beginning.
Aside from the fact that the whole place is a mess, what more can be said when only a deep pit remains where the large mountain used to be?
‘···As time passes and the rain accumulates, that place will become a lake. It was a little frustrating because it was so crowded with mountains, but wouldn’t it be perfect to have an open lake?’
Of course, Hans didn’t really care.
They just shamelessly justify themselves and ignore the scene of cruel destruction of nature.
‘Then let’s move on to the next step. ‘Because I’ve gathered quite a few materials that can be used for the final use of the Tyrant Dragon.’
No matter how harmful a bird it is, you, as a foreigner, cannot make it extinct at will.
Even if I were to push myself further when I had enough to be reasonably satisfied, it would just be a waste of time.
Just like that, the visitor from another world disappeared as quietly as he had arrived.
The next destination we had set in advance, a world that had been declared a closed dimension a long time ago like Devore—.
To ‘Kosiyas’.
***
After the stranger left.
The incident that occurred in Jinji became known to the world only after a long time had passed.
The tyrant dragon Tyronax’s notoriety was so high that no one tried to get close to it even after seeing the pillar of fire and earthquake, which were clearly abnormal conditions.
What people were able to realize, even if it was too late, was that there was an unheard-of lake, which had not been recorded in any records for a long time, sitting in the place where the mountain used to be.
The only thing is that not only the tyrant dragon but also several infamous dragon species disappeared all at once.
And that story was passed down to future generations as the legend and mystery of Milleria.
With the name ‘Dragon Lake’.
***
[···Huh?]
The moment you cross the dimensional gate.
The first emotion Hans felt was embarrassment.
‘What is it here?’
For a moment, I wondered if I was in the wrong place.
It had to be that way.
Because everything about this place was so different from the memory of the dimension he originally wanted to go to.
The Cosiyas dimension was a dimension belonging to the so-called ‘civilized world’.
Science and technology were at a similar level to Earth, but with the development of magic engineering, things that could be called over-technology by Earth standards were closely embedded in daily life.
But the sight I see now…
[···It’s already a dead world.]
Simply saying it was a ruin was not enough.
The ground was full of broken concrete debris and all kinds of scrap metal, and huge, bottomless cracks were cracking like rice fields in a drought.
It was definitely land, but in reality, it was almost like an island.
‘The magma is also cooling down.’
He looked at the bottom of the crack through the “Eye of the Abyss” and shook his head.
And immediately flew high into the sky and took in the entire world.
‘The sea level is too low. At least everything has rotted away.’
The sea, the cradle of life, looked like that, but there was no way there could be any living creatures.
Instead of rare oxygen, the atmosphere is full of toxic substances, radiation hitting directly, a planet losing its warmth and cooling down, etc.
Hans tried to use his specialty of detecting the living and stretched his senses as much as possible, but he only confirmed once again that not only animals and plants, but also microorganisms, including bacteria, had been completely wiped out.
[I can’t feel any energy in the space.]
It reminded me of the mysterious barren land of Earth… no, it was much more serious than that.
Perhaps because something that was different from what was originally there had been squeezed out, the world reflected in his eyes was miserable and dried out.
Does it make sense to not even feel the ‘spirit of death’ even when the entire world is dying?
Hans’ body, which was flying quickly and looking at the ground, stopped in midair.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
‘This world has already ended.’
The sky was shattered, shattered, and completely shattered.
What existed beyond that was not the universe.
Nothing.
A space of literally nothing was swallowing up this entire destroyed world.
‘There is no possibility of saving this world. Well, no one survived to begin with.’
This place was nothing more or less than a ‘ruined world.’
Now that will be the only word that describes this place, Cosiyas.
Then he suddenly realized one thing.
The fact that the system message that always came to mind every time I entered another world was not displayed just a moment ago.
‘Has the world’s manager, the main god, and the Akasha system, which encompasses all dimensions, already abandoned this world?’
He quickly cut through the air again and began scanning the entire world.
It must have been Beoncheonhoeju that made this place like this.
I had to do whatever it took to get even the smallest clue as my original goal.
Because I don’t know when I’ll be able to come to a world like this again.
Then at some point.
His body, which had been spreading energy as widely as possible, stopped.
[This···.]
I checked again and it was definitely true.
A faint sense of vitality.
And this reaction is definitely…
‘human? Were humans still alive at this point? how?’
It didn’t matter since he was already dead, but even awakened people who were protected by the system wouldn’t be able to last long if they came here.
But to be alive until the end in this worst situation…
Hans’ body shot out like lightning.
To the place where the only survivor of this destroyed world is.
