The Main Character Competes With Quantity

150. way home (2)

It happened just before Nemesis was about to jump through space.

It seems that the ruler of the corps is quite annoyed by conversations with people he can’t communicate with.

So he used the necklace a little prematurely.

Thanks to the explosion before the Nemesis was fully transported, members of the Legion witnessed a tremendous flash of light rain down from the sky.

“Oh my gosh… … .”

Luna, the girl who handed the item directly to the ruler of the Legion, was speechless at this absurd power.

I knew that it was something that could be borrowed with fairly strong divine power.

But I didn’t know it was such a terrifying thing.

It was only a fleeting moment that the flash was visible.

However, even in that short time, Nemesis, who returned to the original place where the blue world was visible, was in a terrible state.

Just being exposed to the light for a moment was enough damage.

Many of the colonies have become slushy fields, and the ground has melted to the extent that rivers with flowing lava have been created.

An ability that has far exceeded the ability of an individual.

To the members of the Legion, it was terror itself.

If the movement had been delayed a little longer, it could be seen that the whole Nemesis would have been blown away.

“What the hell am I doing… … .”

The atmosphere was as quiet as a mouse, as everyone was trying to calm their cold feelings and wondering if the ruler of the corps who had committed such a terrible thing would be safe.

Could it be because of that silence?

Luna’s murmur resonated particularly loudly in their ears.

“Don’t worry.”

“… … yes?”

“He never dies.”

Next to Luna, the head of the Guardians approached and said calmly.

“Even God can’t kill him. Don’t worry, I’m a person who will never die from an explosion like that.”

“… … does that make sense? How, how can you not die in a situation like that?”

At Luna who was puzzled, the Lord of Guardians smiled.

“There are ways.”

Everyone began to pay attention to what the head of the Guardians was saying.

Her explanation was calm and kind, unlike the dragon who was extremely unkind because she simply practiced the spirit too faithfully.

After the brief explanation, the members of the Legion could breathe a sigh of relief knowing the true nature of what the ruler of the Legion had done.

“… … So, as Mi-young said, a high-ranking nobleman wanted to swallow the legion and sent a bomb, but Ji-woo used it up? And now that the legion is still intact, it means that they were beaten in the back of the head?”

“Yes, Mr. Garam.”

“Ha, true. Would you like to say something?”

“Mr. Strong? I just explained it for you… … ?”

“then… … When will he come back?”

“Ah, Chef. that’s me too… … .”

“… … Why do you call me the chef when the other guys call me by name?”

He said he definitely wouldn’t die.

To be precise, even if he died, he could come back to life whenever he wanted.

Thanks to knowing the arrangements prepared by the ruler of the corps, many people’s faces and hearts became much more comfortable.

“Okay, everyone has worked hard. I’ll take a look at the situation, and if nothing goes wrong, I think I can go back to the world I used to live in.”

It was not an intentional operation, but Purgatory, the base of the enemy, was blown up in a splendid way.

That meant that the members of the Legion no longer had to gather together to prepare for war.

Finally, the long-awaited time for the Legion’s allies to prepare for dissolution has arrived.

It was a time when everyone congratulated each other on victory and had a party.

“… … Hey, what are all these?”

The manager, who had been lying like a corpse, opened his eyes.

“older brother-! Are you okay?”

The manager with a bubbly expression tried to get up, but when he saw the numerous needles and drugs stuck in his body, he gave a puzzled expression for a moment.

He secretly removed the needle, and frowned when he saw that a medical device that measured the electrocardiogram was connected to his body.

“… … hey baby Don’t you think I’m a weak person like Ji-woo? This guy won’t die no matter what. All you have to do is take a deep breath and wake up, so why did you plug it in so much? Aren’t you going to take it off soon?”

Even as the manager spat out such blunt words, his eyes were on the green basket of chocolates on a nearby table.

Sensing what the manager wanted, the successor apostle quickly picked up the basket and gave it to him.

“Brother, are you really okay?”

“Ah, it’s okay because it’s okay. Please do not treat patients.”

The manager munched the chocolate in his mouth with satisfaction.

After a while, he began to look around with a more relaxed expression.

“Well?”

What was visible through the window of the Nemesis residential building was not the purgatory that was shining with an ominous color, but a familiar blue world that was often seen.

The manager tilted his head.

Apparently, after using a special move for the first time in a while, I thought that I had been asleep for a while.

“… … I sighed and woke up and it was over? Does Ji-woo handle the destruction and the last rites well? But where is this guy now? When your brother wakes up, shouldn’t you come and say hello, give him chocolates, and see if he’s okay? uh, maybe? Where is the child injured?”

“Ah, brother. that is… … I mean.”

“Hey, what’s with that expression? Did Ji-woo even die?”

“Yes.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The manager’s expression suddenly hardened.

He was lying comfortably on his back in bed, and hurriedly got up and prepared to move.

In his hand, when did he take it out, he held a bloody spear.

“Open the way.”

“… … yes?”

“Hyung, I can’t use my strength right now. It’s empty. So you open the way to purgatory. What happened to that child? Could it be that we just retreated?”

“I-that’s… … .”

“under… … what else? Don’t make people feel stuffy, just say it.”

The successor to the apostle put on a puzzled expression.

The Administrator keeps asking us to go to Purgatory, but as the power creatures of the Legion checked, nothing was left there.

The demon that harassed many, determined to destroy the Pantheon, has disappeared.

The Legion of Disaster, which tried to take away the power of the devil and eat other living things, also became non-existent in the world.

An empty world without a single light, only the broken stones of purgatory existed there.

“Purgatory has been shattered.”

“… … .”

An awkward silence passed between the senior and junior apostles.

“… … Damn, what the hell happened while I was sleeping?”

The situation is over.

For many, the time that seemed like a fleeting storm has quickly passed.

* * *

At first, everyone thought that the ruler of the Legion would return soon.

To celebrate the victory, many stayed in Nemesis and waited for him.

But the wait was a day or two.

He hasn’t appeared in ten years.

But the news isn’t completely off.

“Hey, are you really dead? Why are you so infrequent in contact?”

The administrator appeared at some point and asked the little alter ego of the legion that ruled Nemesis.

【Elderly.】

Surprisingly enough, the Legion’s vast organization was still under the powerful influence of one ruler.

The alter egos that managed the corps in the region after being scattered in many worlds at one time, still did not stop their activities.

Of course, those alter egos were originally created by the ruler splitting his own consciousness.

In fact, each one was an independent self, so after the link was cut off, it often changed gradually and took on a different personality from the ruler they knew.

But the manager felt something.

The alter ego in front of me was different from the other egos in the atmosphere it gave off.

【I have never experienced death.】

The manager chuckled.

Judging by the answer that came back, I thought it was really like that friend.

“You are not a game character. Hey, but are you there? Let me ask you one thing. Are you a kind of thought that Jiwoo left behind? Or is it a spirit connected to the real Jiwoo?”

In response to that question, the alter ego created and emitted a faint light around it.

However, the shape of the light was definitely different from the golden aura of spiritual energy unique to the Legion.

【Elders, can an alter ego do this?】

It was not a blinding flash, as previously concocted in purgatory.

However, the power that glowed white, of a nature that only transcendent beings could handle, was clearly the bright light of divine power.

“… … If I contact you now, when will I be available again?”

【That I don’t know either.】

“Son, being irresponsible.”

The divine power felt in the alter ego was gradually waning.

This meant that the link to the alter ego’s owner would soon be severed.

Once this divine power is completely cut off, the alter ego will mechanically dominate the corps as usual.

“So where are you now?”

The alter ego conveyed his will in a tone that said it was nothing.

【Here you go? Is it the Pantheon or something?]

“… … .”

Apparently, there seemed to be some reason why his return was delayed.

“What are you doing there? Did the guy who didn’t want to go in there go in on his own? When are you coming back?”

The alter ego of Nemesis also answered this question in a tone that said it was not really a big deal.

【I don’t know exactly. The back of the head must be repaid with the back of the head.]

“… … Ha, you really are a great guy.”

【Should it be only for the elderly?】

The manager nodded.

“Take care and come. I will keep guard here.”

This time, I got the answer I wanted to hear.

【Return in three years.】

* * *

Experiencing death is not very pleasant.

Besides, I was unintentionally taken to the Pantheon, and it was even less pleasant to be accompanied by a parasite that clings to the soul as a companion on the way.

However, by using this opportunity to pioneer new conquests, the unpleasant feelings were washed away sooner than expected.

-Wait for the ruler’s order.

The Legion Queen is waiting for my command with her troops.

“Where are you ready to go wild?”

– Enough.

This is the Pantheon colony.

The hatcheries of the corps densely packed in this place called the Celestial World made me happy.

I opened a portal to the Pantheon and quickly brought in a Legion Queen.

With one of the Legion Queens, I got into several short but pretty hard fights and fucked several high-ranking nobles.

As a result, it has now created the realm of the Legion and billions of Legion troops in the Pantheon.

“You always wanted to be number one, didn’t you?”

-Yes, ruler.

“Then you eat this place.”

―I will definitely do it.

With this done, I am ready to return home.

“Then I’ll leave it to you and let you go.”

―I will carry out your order.

“Yes, suffer. Arachne.”

―Please stop by anytime.

It was time to rest a bit.

“portal.”

A cracked space appeared before my eyes.

Through the cracks in the space, a very familiar scent poured in.

“It is home.”

I smiled and took a step forward there.

After a while, I came face to face with people running very furiously at me.

He opened his arms wide and smiled at them.

This time it’s a really bright smile.

After going through all kinds of hardships, on the way back home, how could you not smile brightly?

“It is home.”

The longed-for blue world was in front of me.
