Chapter 419:

It's been a long time coming.

Finally, here we are.

"Black..."

I stand alone on the crumbled ground, beneath the half-destroyed battlefield.

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

I clench my teeth, shielding my entire body from the rays of the Sun God's divine power as they pour into my body.

The sticky black power rising from beneath my feet prevented the rays of the sun that had already pierced my body from going any further.

Stained with black power, bleeding the same color, I grit my teeth and look up at the Sun God, who continues to fire energy cannons in this direction.

I somehow manage to hold on to my feet as they keep trying to push me away, my darkened hands clutching at the beam piercing my gut.

...Up there in the orange sky, the Sun God is dressed in white, his silver hair flowing.

He looked at me with a frown at my sudden intrusion, and then, still using energy waves, he grinned in amusement and shouted at me in a maniacal voice.

"Hahaha!!! Haha, no, who is this... Aren't you one of those damned star apostles, hahaha!!!"

"Kuluk... Hahaha. Hello, I'm Egostic."

"Yeah, yeah... I know you well. You're the one who thwarted all my plans, aren't you?"

He smiles and says that.

...But there was something about his smile that sent shivers down my spine. There was no amusement in it, only pure hatred.

In the first place, ugh. No wonder he’s still laughing at me, trying to kill me with a solar death beam.

Regardless of my blasphemous thoughts, the Sun God still seemed amused.

"Yes, yes... I was going to kill you right after this. Thank you for coming early, child of the stars."

"As you wish, then."

With that, he clenched his hand, still extended toward me, into a fist and said.

"Die."

-Paquaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Kkkkk..."

-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow

With a tremendous blast of light, the sun's destructive rays pierce through my body, harder and harder.

I was knocked back by it again and again, but I managed to block it all the same, using the black energy that still enveloped my body.

It was a tremendous festival of light as my black power clashed with his gray power.

That's when my mouth was bleeding, my ears were ringing, and my vision was blurring.

From behind me, in a cracked voice.

"...Egostic, my...Stop, stop..."

A voice that sounded like it was about to collapse, but it was watery.

I just smirked weakly and turned to Stardus, who had collapsed behind me and was trying to get up somehow.

"...Worry, ew. Hah. Don't worry, Stardus."

I have a plan.

I thought to myself.

Soon, I tenaciously caught the energy cannons that were still being fired.

"...Hmm."

I turned to the Sun God in front of me, who was still looking at me with a slightly puzzled expression as I fell and took the brunt of his destructive rays.

Still maintaining my smile, black blood flowing from the corner of my mouth, I spoke.

"Hey. Sun god, Kuluk. Helios. Whatever, you."

"...Haha. You. So you've finally gone crazy, huh?"

"Uh. Yeah. I'm crazy, but, kool-aid. You. ...Why do you think I've hung in there, all this time... survived this long?"

Because of you.

"I've got you.... Kulk, kulk. I... went... through... all... the... trouble... to... get... you... off... this... world. Asshole."

“...You talk a lot. So what are you going to do?”

He frowned at my words as I continued to fend off the attacks.

I looked at the Sun God. The corners of his mouth twitched upward, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"What the hell."

"...I'm done with you, and I'm going to get you out of here with my own hands."

As soon as I uttered those words I grabbed the Sun God's ray cannon I was blocking with my hand and began to apply force to it.

In an instant, black, slimy stalks entwined with the beam.

...Of course.

At the same time, I could feel my life force being rapidly sucked out of me into this black starlight.

...But, I was already prepared.

I was no longer afraid.

"...Ha. You, what the hell...!"

The bizarre black stalks of starlight were riding on the beams of pure solar energy that the Sun God was shooting at me.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

He was so startled by the black spider web-like things that were fiercely pursuing him that he pulled away from the sun's rays, but it was already too late.

-Puhhhhhhhhhhhh

Those black auras, like a giant black spider's web with prey in its trap, surrounded the Sun God completely.

[Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick!]

"Ha...”

...while laughing in vain at the people who, for some reason, like me too much.

Because of them, in the end, I couldn't deny that I became attached to this world.

By the time I thought of that.

...I could see, through the half-shattered mask, the members of my Egostream floating off to one side.

[Wow. Finally, finally, finally, the damn rain stops!!! We won, didn't we? We won, didn't we? Yay! Where's Da-in? Let's celebrate!]

Choi Se-hee rejoices in pure joy that the invasion is finally over since the Sun God is gone. It's hard to see through the nearly broken and crackling screen, but thankfully, they haven't heard from me yet.

The rest of the screens were broken, but I could see Seo-eun's screen.

[Haha... Haha... Finally!!! Are you watching? Are you watching? ...Wait.]

She's rejoicing inside, then suddenly realizes what she's seeing, and her face turns grim.

[Da-in. No, no, no. Da-in? Wait. What is this?]

...and as she quickly looks away, she makes eye contact with the camera that is filming her.

Finally, the screen shut off completely.

‘....'

You guys, you'll be fine without me...You'll be fine without me, right?

...Yeah. I'm sure they'll be fine. Most of all, they have each other. They'll support and comfort each other, and they'll soon forget about me. Yeah. I'm sure they will. They're all young.

So, our Egostream is... Okay...

‘.....'

...Yeah. I keep rolling my eyes.

I haven't even said goodbye yet. Haha... No.

Where were we...? Okay.

And, most importantly...

"...Haha. S, Stardus..."

My hero. My arch nemesis.

She was the goal of my life.

Stardus, Shin Haru.

Because of her, I've come this far.

Because of her, I can live a fulfilling life in another world.

"No... Please... why... Why, hmmm, no..."

Don't give me that look.

Even if I'm gone, the girl I know... the girl I know... the girl who's been through all the crises and despair, the girl who's made it through... I'm sure she'll be able to get back up and live happily ever after.

Yes. I'm sure she will.

I could leave without regret now.

"...."

Maybe. This would be my last.

For I was the one who knew everything in this world....I could see that there was no way I could ever come back.

That this is truly, truly, my last goodbye.

"No..."

"....s."

Stardus...Haru.

I was going to say these last words, but I don't think it's going to work.

I stare at Haru's increasingly blurred face.

I said my last words to her...my last, inaudible words to her.

‘Stardus.’

Please.

...until the end, be happy.

Haha...

To be able to walk away from the arms of the one person I love the most...

Really. Blessings........

With that thought, I laid down completely.

"......"

"Egotistic? No. Da-in, hmph. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. No....!!! Please..."

"......"

"......"

"Please... if you go like this... I can't..."

"......"

"...Da-in."

"......"

......

I closed my eyes.
