Chapter 37: Awakening (1)
"Where?"
Jamie was in pitch-black darkness.
I remember being sucked into the core of the Demon Realm by Katos, but when I came to my senses, it was here.
'Is this in the core of the Demon Realm?'
It's too dark for that.
When viewed from the outside, it was a luminous body that glowed softly.
No matter how much I thought about it, I thought it wasn't there.
'It would be right to see it as a different space.'
Once I raised mana, I tried to figure out what the surrounding space looked like.
However, there was nothing to do with the mana spreading around it.
I wanted to see something like this, so I walked forward.
"Weren't you standing there?"
He must have thought he was standing, but now he was floating in the air.
It was a strange space that made even the five senses mistaken.
Jamie frowned and moved. I thought I had to get out of the dark somehow.
He could use magic, so it wasn't difficult to get around.
'Hmm.'
He spread mana over a wide area to detect the surroundings, but still nothing was caught.
It was around the time that little time had passed.
"It is light."
In the distance, a very small light was twinkling in the darkness.
Jamie speeds up and goes there, not like an exit door, but a tiny bit of light.
He slowly reached out and embraced the light.
The small light then expanded enormously and swallowed Jamie in an instant.
"Hey, this!"
And a certain scene began to unfold before my eyes.
* * *
"It's all over."
Said the man in a white robe and a wide hood.
Quarreung, bang bang!!
There is no rain in the blackened sky, but only dry thunderbolts make a roaring sound like a bomb explodes.
end of the century.
A situation where everything comes to an end.
The raging storm destroyed all living things, and the earth that shook non-stop was split in all directions and spewed out magma.
A man and a series of men following men were literally the last survivors of this world.
To be precise, it was the last 'humanity'.
"In the end, if it was going to be like this ."
A woman sobbing and muttering from behind.
In a voice mixed with regret, each of them began to say one word at a time whether the few people sympathized with her.
"What have we done, what have we done?"
"Last hope It was us who trampled on it... ."
"Who are you to blame? If you want to resent yourself, you have to do it to yourself."
"I don't want to die ."
Hearing those voices, the man sighed in confusion.
And soon after, a huge hole was opened in the dark sky.
A strong wind blew, and a sandstorm of all sorts of miscellaneous things raged all the way to the depths of the cave where they hid.
The man looked up at the sky while blocking the sandstorm with magic.
From the clear sky, someone was coming down towards this place.
Shining a dazzling light behind his back, he was a handsome man who looked like he was wearing a splendid toga from the mythology era.
However, his muscular body was not only beautiful, but also violent.
The man called his name in a trembling voice.
"Jenice !"
A member of the 12 gods that can be said to be the current masters of the world, and a god who symbolizes war and peace.
Janice.
"Rats. Have you been hiding here?"
At Janice's sarcastic remarks, the man shouted like a seizure.
"Why have you forsaken us! What have we done for you!!"
hahahahahahahaha!!
Then Janice began to laugh genuinely about what was fun.
After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing and said.
"Next time, please make it more useful to us."
"Do you want us to be easily defeated? How many times do you think you have been attacked by humans, arrogant god!"
As if resisting Zenith's actions, the men and colleagues all drew their own strength.
It was something that only humans of this era were born with.
[warrant]
With that power, humans were not pushed by other powerful races, and in an organization called Resistance, they were able to fight a battle similar to that of the 12 gods.
However, it also had its limitations in the end.
"On the subject of bats that have abandoned the leader and attached to us. Are you going to keep an eye on your pride? That's funny."
Light poured from the cracked sky.
The light engulfed the entire mountain to which they hid.
The man and the party could not express any powers as they watched the secret dwelling disappearing in an instant.
It was too fast for that.
So completely evaporated.
Janice said looking at the place where the mountain was.
"You have cleared the most annoying things. Let's prepare for the next era."
Humanity disappeared from the first world.
And human beings have been deprived of their 'power'.
* * *
"What ?"
An old man with fine white hair, with wrinkles around his eyes, kneeling down and asking the man in front of him.
"Why have you forsaken us?"
Standing in front of the old man, a man wearing gold armor and a gold helmet covering his entire face spoke.
"For a new era."
"It's a new era What have we done wrong?"
"Your sins."
The man drew his sword.
It was a noble-looking sword that was adorned with splendor.
Above it, divine power writhes and wraps around the blade.
"Sir, Apostle."
The old man called the man.
The man called the apostle raised his sword clad in divine power with a soft glow in his eyes under his helmet.
and said
"It is incomplete."
Whoops!
The body of an old man cut at an angle.
The old man was desperate until the last minute with a look of disbelief.
Since it was a sword with divine power, there was no blood on it or splashing around it.
Still, the man saw those who trembled from behind after swinging the sword once as a habit.
At one time, everyone was a devout believer, but now they are all good things.
"In the next life, please."
Divine power erupted from the man's hand like an explosion.
"Don't let them live long."
Thus, the last human beings left in the world perished.
It was the second world.
What humans were deprived of was 'lifetime'.
* * *
"You would have thought you erased all the records, but you were wrong. you are not a real god They're just crazy people who want to be omnipotent! So it's not perfect. Your dog-like project, dubbed 'World Reset', will end in our hands."
Hundreds of thousands of fully armed human armies.
There were originally more, but hundreds of millions of numbers were erased from the world through endless resistance.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered here are truly the ultimate showdown.
It was a group of humans who struggled so that the world would not be the last.
At the forefront of them, a man with a rough beard, like a general, shouted to the sky.
"Did you think you could redeem us in the name of religion?! You can never control us. I wouldn't let that happen! You have already killed several of your apostles and saints! We are not slaves! We will win our lives!"
no.
you are slaves
Twelve lights appeared in the sky with repeated flickering.
A huge light engulfed the world in an instant.
The man in the front had no choice but to stare blankly at the pouring light.
it's bound to be
What the hell can you do about it that devours heaven and earth?
Just a 'human' thing.
"This time it was a complete failure. If I increased my intelligence a bit, there must have been a side effect of rebelling."
"Next time in a more obedient form."
Humanity was erased from the third world.
Humans have been deprived of their 'freedom'.
* * *
dark sky.
It's not because of the dark clouds.
A loud fluttering sound, thousands of birds across the sky.
no.
That's not like a bird.
It is so far away that it cannot be seen well by the human eye.
Those are all
[Dragon Breath]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
A town, a city, a country, a continent.
overnight.
Without knowing the reason, it just disappears without meaning.
A child running while holding a parent's hand loses his hand and falls over and cries.
Parents who return to take such a child back are covered in the dragon's breath and disappear with the child.
All human beings living on the continent faced such a 'reset' without knowing why they were dying.
But it might be better to die without knowing the reason.
The reason why the 12 gods decided to annihilate them was because it was none other than a 'depressed world'.
For one reason only, mankind disappeared from the fourth world.
Human beings have been deprived of their 'dignity'.
* * *
"Kill God! kill god! Kill God!"
The last warrior shouts.
In his hand was the head of an ancient dragon, and behind him lay the corpses of powerful races and paladins like sand.
All of them are servants of the 12 gods.
Through them all, the warrior stands like this.
The warrior didn't do it alone.
His comrades are dead all over the body.
So many people have been sacrificed that it is difficult to count just to send him here.
"Come! I will kill you!"
A rare hero who was born in a world full of war, violence and blood and unified all of them.
However, the hero realized that he was actually just a puppet of the 12 gods.
Why do the 12 gods do this to mankind?
for what reason.
It's hard to even guess because we don't know the past.
No, I don't really want to guess.
The warrior just rages and hates the 12 gods.
"I will kill you all, and I will die too."
With those words, light fell from the sky, and someone appeared.
The warrior instinctively felt that he was one of the twelve gods.
nothing is felt
Is it because the gap with the other person is large, or is it intentionally hidden?
I didn't think of that.
It is meaningless to judge the level of the opponent as long as he has decided to kill the 12 gods here as well.
The warrior ran like that.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"Annoying things."
Zenith clenched her spear while sticking her tongue out at the scream of such a warrior.
"This man has made him too strong."
After that, I never thought that I would be able to raise a weapon against someone like that.
That meant that the warrior who survived to the end was strong.
It has reached the level of half-body.
There was no human being who had risen to that level while the 12 gods took full control of the world.
So even if it's bothersome, I'll just keep the last courtesy.
"I will praise you, bastard. If he was a little bigger, he would have grown into a monster that could threaten us ever since. However.
Zenith threw the spear in her hand, and the warrior screamed and tried to hit the spear.
"Uh-"
But the sword was broken, and the spear pierced his heart.
"It's still early. Start a world reset."
At the same time as Zenith disappeared, humanity disappeared from the fifth world.
Humans have been deprived of 'variables'.
* * *
Evolve, a race born with blue skin and a body that can transform into anything.
They were the people of the sixth world.
And now the last Evolve was kneeling, shaking like an aspen.
Before him was Drin, the god of plunder and violence.
I don't know how you got that power, but I'll praise you for being able to control it.
Drian groaned as he looked at the Evolvein, who couldn't even make eye contact with fear.
"If you kill only you, all humans will die."
"Sir, please save me."
"It's not something I can choose on my own. But, I want to do it in a way that saves you. It has already been passed on to other gods."
Drian smiles as he sees the trembling Evolvein.
"Do you want to live?"
The last Evolve nodded violently.
looked sullen.
These guys are like this from start to finish.
In the first place, this guy, the last Evolve, abandoned his people over and over again in order to survive.
Even so, I am doing this now to live.
Draan liked the ugly, humiliating appearance of such a human.
A small life that disappears when trampled on is struggling to survive somehow.
Of course, what I liked more than that was to show a little hope to the movement and then turn it off.
But, I couldn't do it now.
"Is it interest?"
A man appeared surrounded by light with a glare like the sun.
The sun god who led the 12 gods and played the biggest role in creating the world we are today.
That was him.
It wasn't just that.
The other 12 gods gathered one after another and stood behind him as if in a row.
Drian nodded and said.
"This guy has absorbed the child's power, and he used it better than expected. While avoiding cooking. In the end, I was caught like this and became like a lamp in front of the wind."
"My, please save me!"
At Drian's terrifying words, Evolvein started a game and approached Ra with a momentum to grab even the crotch of his pants.
But Ra did not allow him to approach.
Instead, he squatted slightly and made eye contact with him.
Evolvein felt an indescribable depth and fear in the sight.
Ra felt like a completely different being from the other gods, to the extent that I doubted the existence of this world.
Then La said.
"Would you like to lead a new world?"
It looked like a question, but it wasn't.
The Evolve did not object to Ra's orders.
He just said he would do it to survive.
good. Try painting a blank drawing paper with your own color for once. From now on, your name will be Gav. This is Gav Illidan."
"Yes, yes."
"The humans of the world you will lead."
He got up from his seat and said.
"All of them will be weak, so let the leaders do well."
Gav groaned once more to find out, and that was the end of the sixth world.
This time, humans were not taken away.
There was nothing left to lose.
