Chapter 27: The World at that time(1)

Zion, who barely managed to escape the obsession of the demon Sargatania, desperately ran away, and decided to escape to Australia this time, and immediately ran to the Magic Tower to go through the procedures, solved minor problems in a capitalist way, and went straight to Australia via the teleportation gate at that very moment!

Naturally, the world had not improved at all, and the world was really heading towards a mess.

In the dimensional crack phenomenon that simultaneously erupted across the Earth, entities with strengths different from those before began to appear simultaneously!

Crazy monsters with strengths that seemed to completely ignore the system of strength that humanity had developed up until now.

It felt as if it was some kind of singularity that was about to bring about a new phase on Earth.

Scholars related to dimensional science who confirmed the problems that had erupted in a short period of time also presented such opinions.

It was truly an extremely common-sense and clean conclusion.

Who would have guessed that this wasn’t some kind of singularity or a parade of crazy yanderes looking for their ex-lovers who died from love?

Only someone with a truly crazy mind, or one of the very few who knew the truth, would have thought that.

First of all, they were all completely unrelated, and they all came from different dimensions.

Well, you’d have to have some kind of quirk to make an assumption.

However, there were still some people who had a good sense of humor who found something in that situation.

“Uh… where did you come from?”

“From the World Dimensional Phenomenon Management Organization. South Korea’s S-class Awakened Boundary Magician Oh Jinseong, and the Great Mage Jeon Yeongwoon.”

“Uh… why did you suddenly come to see us? As you can see, you’re seriously injured and need to recuperate.”

When Jeon Yeongwoon asked, waving his shattered arm, the man in the suit who said he came from the management organization responded without any change in expression.

“It won’t be too hard on your body. I can guarantee it. I came to find out about the fight between the two monsters that emerged from the dimensional rift that day.”

“Aha… You said that Iron Man was talking?”

“Yes. Recently, in Korea, surprisingly, there have been an influx of powerful enemies that seem as if the world is about to end. I need to find out about this for sure. If there’s even a little bit of room to attack, I’ll have to find it.”

“Ask me anything. I won’t be able to sleep if I think about those monsters targeting me again. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

The World Dimensional Phenomena Management Organization, which had been extremely busy due to the dimensional rift-related disasters that had begun to occur worldwide, finally came to Korea to investigate.

And at that moment, the disasters that were sweeping the entire world continued to move.

Africa.

A continent that was gradually being occupied by the terrible conqueror known as the Emperor of Time and the endless hordes of undead that were constantly swarming.

In Africa, where there was a huge time bomb called the Manmama Gyeong Pandemonium, that infamous Pandemonium was no longer present.

The endless army of death has conquered all places, dyeing all lands in death.

The mighty monsters called the rulers of the Manmama Mirror and the masters of Pandemonium, who were barely able to catch Nine Stars, had long since lost their vitality and become just one of the Emperor’s insignificant undead.

They had already crossed over from the entire Pandemonium, a land where monsters and otherworldly beings could not live, to the human realm where people could barely live, and now that they could no longer hold out, an endless line of refugees continued.

One of the great Nine Heavens was trying to stop them as much as possible, so how long could the resistance last?

Fortunately for humanity, the conquest of one continent was coming to an end, and the Emperor’s endless advance with unending force was showing signs of calming down a little.

It was not because they were lacking strength, but because they were worried about how to fill up the completed palace, which was another disastrous factor.

In that situation, the Nine Heavens, who were struggling to prevent Africa from being completely handed over, were sending out a request for support with a suffocating heart.

“This f*cking shit…! Hey you punks! Do you think it’ll end there if we eat everything here?! Don’t you know that Europe and Asia are next!! Do you have to experience it to know what kind of disaster will strike if we don’t stop it here….!!”

However, unlike that suffocating heart, other places were not in a relaxed situation either.

This was because the immediate crisis wasn’t just in Africa.

A strange atmosphere was hanging over the First Continent.

The demonic invasion that had swarmed Europe and the destruction of the Holy Nation were also huge issues, and the battle that had occurred in Korea was not a minor matter that could be left alone.

Even though the damage may be considered small, the energy of the collision that occurred at that time was at a level that could not be ignored.

At the same time, another monster that had shown absurd strength by freezing the North Pole, which had already become a land of monsters, was also moving south, which was an element that could not be ignored.

“…Is that the Ice Witch who froze the North Pole?”

The unidentified entity that suddenly appeared in the North Pole convulsed as if someone had stepped on a land mine and froze the entire sea beyond the North Pole, recreating the Ice Age, and was moving down, down, down, down, while freezing everything it touched.

What was unique was that it had the shape of a human, but it wore pure white clothes and had extremely pale skin, moving without hesitation as if it was endlessly shedding frozen blue tears.

It had a characteristic that a blizzard, which changed every hour—whether it was a change in mood or not—would circle around and lash out near her.

The Nine Heavens, who had been dispatched to stop the Ice Witch, realized as soon as they saw her that she was an entity they could not handle.

“…I’m going crazy. Ha, I have to stop that alone…?”

However, if he delayed any longer, it was obvious that his own country behind him would be burned to the ground.

It wasn’t a place he loved that much, but even if it rotted, it was his country, and even if it rotted, it was a land where people lived.

If his own country was in the expected path and he was the only one who could stop it, then it was only natural that he should move as a strong person.

Although it was a gloomy situation with no support, he was confident that he could delay it even a little and buy enough time to evacuate, and one of the Nine Heavens began to move to stop the monster.

And quite far to the north was the Second Continent.

The empire that ruled the Second Continent had come into contact with a swordsman who appeared from a dimensional rift while wearing a human skull on his head and wielding two swords with opposing energies at the same time, causing a massacre.

They were talking to the monster, feeling sorry for the damage they had suffered from this powerful being, but thinking that if they could only gain its power, the damage would not be a big deal.

“… No matter what you are, what you did, and what damage you caused to this land… we don’t care and will forget it all. That’s not important in this business.”

They believed in their own power.

And they believed in their own abilities.

Even if they were like this, if they showed their power and used their abilities to the fullest, they could tame even this monster while putting a leash on it.

If they succeeded in taming it, they would not be satisfied with the small continent they had barely managed to bring across dimensions, but would sweep over this world and create a great empire with this great power!

“We are fascinated by your great power. That’s why… if you tell us what you want, we will definitely grant it. I promise! In return, if you grant us what you want the most, wouldn’t you, with your great power, help us just once, just once? What do you think? It seems like a reasonable deal that would satisfy both of our needs.”

If there was one thing they did wrong… it was that they mistook the beings before their eyes for wild dogs that they could tame and control.

“… They stink.”

“… Huh?”

“They acted like they’d take out my liver and gall bladder, but when peace came, they immediately changed their attitude, and soon, under the pretext of heaven’s command, they took everything from me. That disgusting smell…”

The swordsman grabbed the sword.

“What I want… what is it? First, I’ll get rid of all of you kind, and then I’ll rest with that guy in the land where lovely tranquility has returned.”

And he swung it without hesitation.

“Now, wait…!”

“And that’s something you guys can’t achieve.”

The disaster moved again, continuing its massacre and destruction.

The swordsman was a warrior who had lost everything after being betrayed by the country and people he had tried to protect, and by the god he had believed in.

Naturally, it was impossible to cooperate and join forces with the empire of another world.
