ark

The world was engulfed in death.

Many cities .

No, all cities except for the guardian city died.

Trees died and animals died.

Even the monsters thought to threaten the survival of mankind could not avoid this disaster.

corrosion.

Now I know what that means.

The curse of the dead god and the end of all things.

Only a handful of land under the influence of the World Tree.

Only Suho City escaped death.

"Live!"

"Damn, I'm alive."

There were only 10,000 people who shared the joy of survival.

A level that avoided annihilation, not survival.

"I'm alive!"

"We're starting over!"

Too many died to sympathize with the joy of the cheering crowd.

The king's earth skill accelerated the growth of plants and transformed the land stained with death into a green forest, but that was all.

Some have called it the primordial paradise, but it is wrong.

They called Suho City the Ark of the World, but that was incorrect.

It failed to contain everything in the world to be called an ark.

Very few human beings and a few species of beasts were all that were alive in this world.

Maybe it would be better to think positively about what happened to Governor Lee Wang.

It may be better for those who claim to be Adam and Eve of the world and are eager to achieve a newspaper name.

"Ugh, Sophia."

"Father, Black."

Thousands of people evacuated to Suho City via mobile portals.

The joy of survival was short-lived, regret and lamentation, the guilt of living alone .

Those in despair caused trouble.

The problem arose when the out-of-control refugees were housed outside the castle.

"Open the door!"

"Let us in too!"

divided into three groups of people.

Introverts, extroverts, and outsiders.

Appropriate food rations were made, but unsettled crowd psychology could not be controlled.

While the world was dying, some people who lost hope in despair and committed suicide.

Besides dying alone, there were also those who committed indiscriminate terrorism in order to be with others.

The chaos fueled the severance, and the few remaining humans gradually decreased in number.

At a time when Suho goes around to make green flowers bloom in a dark world, the general manager of Suho City is none other than Kim Mi-so.

She became so emaciated that she had a hard time figuring out how to deal with this uncontrollable situation.

Will it be solved if I bring them into the castle according to the demands of the people outside the castle?

'It will only increase confusion.'

It's not because they're intimidating.

To protect them, they put them outside the castle.

On this planet where life has disappeared, humanity may be at the bottom of the food chain.

Except for a few Awakened beasts, the beasts left in Guardian City are beasts themselves.

The beasts were not merciful enough to spare hostile humans alive.

"Banks, you can't be suffering like this."

"Europeans, will you become slaves?"

"Yamete."

"We must work together!"

Anxiety brought people together, and factions were formed.

Not everyone had interpreting artifacts like Kim Mi-so, and naturally, people from the same area formed a team.

'The boss must come back.'

Kim Mi-so felt the limit.

It is not easy to control the restless crowd.

Refugees from all over the world also gathered.

They aren't the only problem.

Some insiders were dissatisfied with the leadership's decision to let it sit.

Originally, this was the home ground of the Guardian Guild.

There were also many guild members who felt bad about the refugees' complaints themselves.

Some radicals even suggested expelling them.

Humanity, with only a very small number of people left, split before coming together to get through the crisis.

'No, the crisis is gone .'

No more dungeon creation.

There is no threat from monsters.

The problem is that all living animals on this vast planet are concentrated in Suho City.

In the midst of such division and division, Suho finally returned.

The blackened earth has been turned into a forest.

shua ah.

The hawk flew through the sky, breaking the wind.

Suho City has only two entrances due to the wide and deep moat surrounding the outer fortress.

north and south gates.

The north gate leading directly to the inner wall is always guarded by the In-myeon holding a spider's web and tightly closing it.

The south gate is the only entrance to the outer castle... .

had become a mess.

shua ah.

The hawk fell from the sky.

Koo woong.

Upon landing, it transformed into a human form.

The noisy surroundings became as quiet as lies.

self.

When the wind spirit Sylph removed the dust, Suho's face was revealed. There is no one here who does not know his face.

Suho approached the gate of the center of the mess.

Plates and food scattered all over the place.

And those who bleed.

An il bear holding a human by the neck with its mouth dyed red.

"Kururu."

" ."

Ilgom stood proudly as if there was nothing wrong with him.

Suho looked around.

It seems that there was friction between the people who flocked to receive food rations and the guild members.

A guild member quickly approached and bowed his head.

"Sir, boss. Are you here?"

Come on?

"How many Chinese were there in a riot?"

Why?

"One more sausage, please."

" ."

Suho saw people who had fallen to the floor.

At least four or four people were dead, and ten were crawling on the floor moaning.

Even the guy who was grabbed by the Ilgomni had his life in jeopardy.

Papa Pat.

Suho brought harmony and healed every wounded person.

"Ugh."

"Ugh."

Among the people who stood up groaning, there were still four people lying down.

Four were definitely dead.

"Chur!"

" ."

Ilgom protested why they were treating them.

"Chur!"

They attacked beyond the commotion, and defended the castle to be faithful to their master's orders.

go back.

"Chur!"

Ilgom threw the man he was holding reluctantly and went inside the castle.

champion! This is not fair treatment!"

"We cannot treat the Chinese people like this!"

"Let us also enter the castle."

Hearing the protests of people talking loudly, he said a word.

go back.

Although Ilgom was dissatisfied and obeyed his orders, the Chinese were not the guardians.

"You can't go away like this."

"Right! Shouldn't we be helping the few remaining humans?"

"The beast must be punished immediately."

"Right! Animals that harm people have long been... ."

The angry Chinese swallowed their words as Suho took a step closer.

"Hey, you better kill me! You can't go back like this!

A Chinese man who overcame his fear shouted.

Papa!

And with one touch of Suho's hand, his neck escaped.

People were astonished to see the head that was separated from the body and fell slowly.

"Are you going to die too?"

" ."

The protesters quickly fled through the crowd.

Leaving them as quiet as dead mice, Suho entered the castle.

"Lord, line up!"

The Suho City guild members removed the corpses and resumed food distribution.

On the road where a person had just died, there was another long line of people waiting for food rations.

*"Are you here?"

Kim Mi-so's face, welcoming Suho, looked haggard.

"How many days have passed since I left?"

"It's been 59 days."

"Did this happen often?"

" Yeah.

Although it was only two months, the number of people who died so far exceeded 500.

Most of them have committed suicide.

What should I do?

Suho saw the lifeless Kim Mi-so.

"What do you want me to do?"

" ."

Kim Mi-so was well aware of her position, where she had to search for an answer while there was no answer.

"There are two main ways."

Say it.

"The first is to get rid of all the refugees and build the territory with only the existing Suho City family members."

Instead of making a decision right away, Suho listened to the next option.

"The other is to embrace everyone. After all, the only human beings that survived on Earth are these people."

"Embrace it ."

Kim Mi-so corrected Su-ho's words.

"It will dominate."

Miso Kim envisioned the future, but any future was far from peace.

Civilized people will face the regression of civilization.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to take violence and fear as the easiest tools of government to force people from different cultures to come together.

Suho closed his eyes in the room presented by Kim Mi-so.

Sigh.

He couldn't save the world, but he thought he did.

Now that I think about it, even mankind could not be saved.

Only a few species of beasts are left on this planet.

There are only a small number of beasts called humans that are no different from beasts.

"You have to dominate in order to move on."

If it was a guardian, they would be able to put their complaints to rest and unite them.

At Kim Mi-so's words, Suho shook his head.

The choice is not easy.

It is also the guardian spirit that has stained the earth with death.

It was also the guardianship that preserved a handful of mankind.

How much longer can humans survive in an ecosystem that has already collapsed?

And does all this have to be done under one's own control?

'What I wanted .'

It wasn't like this.

Fortunately, there is one more option left.

Will you be a conqueror?

Will you be the savior?

Suho walked towards the World Tree.

* A great mountain.

There was a large lake in the basin at the top, surrounded by several peaks.

A large rock on the shore of a lake.

A tiger-human boasting muscles as thick as a rock was lying down and enjoying a lazy nap.

Whirlik.

A leaf fluttering in the wind flew away and became a green fairy.

The tiger opened his eyes at the sight, glanced at it, and then closed his eyes again.

[Is the Fairy King a fisherman?]

[I stopped by because the Beast King looked so boring.]

[It's free.]

The tiger-man opened his eyes.

I sat on a large rock and looked out at the lake.

[I'll be back soon.]

[he?]

[Cluckle, is there anything special? There is no option.]

The tiger's smile was somehow bitter.

There were times when he worked hard like a human.

No effort can prevent erosion.

History has to be repeated.

god dies

and don't die

A dead god follows him, longing for death, and he cannot avoid it.

[It looks exciting but sad.]

[No one can beat Karma. It's just sad.]

The person who entered the divine realm died a lot.

Some died by hanging themselves from loneliness, and some died fighting other divine beasts.

How many deaths have accumulated in aeons of time?

All his deaths become his karma and follow him.

Any world will destroy it and cause erosion.

If there is only one land of exception, this is it.

only the new world

After all, this is the only place he will return to after his wanderings.

So it will wait

hug.

There was a wave as if a stone had been thrown into a wide lake.

[Come here.]

Disaster comes from God, and God cannot stop disaster.

The only place for a god who despaired of death to return is the god world.

[Welcome, human.]

Paaah!

The lake rose.

However, contrary to Kuro's expectations, it was a pure white dragon that appeared with huge foam.

Aaaaaaaaaa

A white dragon that ascended to heaven by spraying water flew over the lake.
