[Aaron Side Story Episode 5]
1. Purity for one thing (5)
* * *
A crowd gathered in the main street in front of the Mobius headquarters.
Hegrian’s speech was in full swing.
[It’s truly unfortunate for everyone and for us, but the Pick Me Up project has failed.]
Hungry.
Hegrian’s heavy voice broke through the crowd’s noise.
[The Pick Me Up project was a fantasy, a delusion, and a faded dream from the beginning. We did our best, but we couldn’t find any possibility there.] [
But this isn’t the end.]
[Even if Mobius perishes, we still exist.]
Hegrian’s gaze is on the front yard of the headquarters . headed to the parking lot.
It’s too vast to be a parking lot.
And all the cars that were originally parked are cleaned up. Even the crowds that filled the streets could not enter the vacant lot.
[If you are truly leading, you should always prepare a second alternative.]
Kung! Kugoong!
The ground started shaking.
Hegrian’s introduction continued while the citizens were confused because they did not know the reason.
[We will start the Arc Project today.]
The entire parking lot started to turn over.
Then, on the other side, a figure appeared.
It is an airship of unimaginable size.
The airship, which was too large to be called a ship, was rather close to a flying island.
[We have stored all the heritage of Mobius’ history and culture over the past years on this ship. Because!]
Hegrian flapped his cloak.
[Because Moebius will not end as long as we have our will!]
Another grand plan that was carried out in secret, unlike the Pick Me Up project.
Hegrian declared the Ark Project.
This streamlined gigantic airship, called the ‘Ark’, contained various historical and cultural heritages of the dimensions belonging to Mobius.
In it, the genes of rare special races and other academic magic systems were recorded and stored one by one.
[Comrades!]
Hegrian exclaimed with dignity.
[Moebius never ends. It’s starting over in a new place!]
Shiiik!
Steam spewed out from all over the arc.
“Whoa!”
It was then that the crowd erupted in wild cheers.
“As expected, Hegrian-nim.”
“There was an alternative. There was!”
“You don’t have to choke on that weird game development!”
Officially declaring the failure of Pick Me Up, and at the same time, a surprise announcement of the alternative Arc Project.
It was a skillful narration that turned disappointment into great joy.
With this, most of the members of Eden will join the plan.
Hegrian gave a satisfied smile.
[I will proceed with the boarding procedure immediately. There are no restrictions on boarding. The door of the ark is open to all! If you are citizens of Eden!]
Pick Me Up Project.
Reviving the destroyed universe after securing interference by making the game a hit on Earth?
It’s just a joke between an old man and an immature goddess.
It’s over today that I’m going along with such a prank-like plan.
‘This is the correct answer.’
You just have to find a new universe and start over.
I don’t know how long the trip will take, but it’s a thousand times better than being buried here.
The gigantic airship arc contained all the essence of the Hegrian faction and Mobius. If that exists, a new myth can be established in the empty universe.
‘I am a God.’
God.
A being that transcends providence.
Even the destruction of the universe cannot stop it.
[Open the ark!]
Finally, the door at the back of the arc began to open.
Designed as a multi-layered structure, the Ark is made spacious enough to accommodate nearly half of the citizens of Eden.
‘I’d rather go well.’
There, you won’t have to interfere with inspiration and twin goddesses.
You can become the supreme god and wield power freely.
“Hahahahaha!”
purple.
Mobius will perish, but I, the god, will exist.
Hegrian burst into madness.
Countless cameras are firing their flashes.
Today’s events will remain in history and will be published in books.
The protagonist of that history was himself.
“Stupid! Tell Ikar! If you cling to the dead forever, that’s how it will be. Too bad. Too bad! If I had given up my greed just a little bit, I could have lived forever...!”
chin.
Before he finished speaking, Hegrian felt a strange sensation.
My throat was itchy.
Parbat! Pababat!
Numerous flashes went off.
“...?”
Hegrian’s head flew through the sky.
dump.
The body that had lost its owner collapsed on the podium.
A fountain of blood began to spurt from the cross section of the severed neck.
shiver.
Blood flowed like a river and covered the podium.
[Is everyone here?]
said Tell.
The voice of God became a wave and resonated clearly.
[All the traitors are gathered here, right?]
Knock.
As Tell took a step, an intense wave spread throughout the city.
[what? arc project? Fuhahaha!]
The airship built in the middle of the landing pad started taking off.
emergency escape.
Tell held out his hand.
Kwajik!
When I grabbed my hand, the huge thruster on the back distorted like a crumpled tin can.
thud!
The arc, which was about to rise halfway, fell over.
[It’s gone.]
Tell lowered his stance.
The scythe’s blade began to stretch.
Both ends intact.
An absurd end.
The super-giant airship arc, in which huge amounts of capital and technical time were invested, split cleanly.
It didn’t explode though.
Flames were burning all over the place, but they kept their shape.
The troops waiting behind Tell were put in at once.
“Extermination, annihilation, annihilation.”
Tel muttered.
Armed with special assault rifles and body armor, the crew fired mercilessly at the survivors inside.
Tatatatatatang!
Gunshots and screams ensue from everywhere.
Scattered existence hovered in the air like fog.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
Every time the wings flap, the power of existence is sucked into Tell.
[Why are you doing this!]
Someone shouted with interference.
He was one of the gods of the Hegrian sect.
[We haven’t cooperated with you for a while! But what are you doing all of a sudden!]
[Who are you?]
[I’m Baldi...]
Charleuk!
A long whip-like thing extended from Tell’s hand.
The string of the whip was wrapped around the man’s neck.
[Shut up.]
Kwajik!
The man’s limbs were crushed.
“Help me! Mr. Tell! Mr. Tell!”
“Wrong! Wrong!”
“I didn’t mean to betray you! I want to see what you are going to say!”
“Stop that!”
“The Pick Me Up Project is still on!”
“We!”
“Have mercy!”
“please!”
“Stop...!”
It’s noisy.
Noisy.
“Extermination, annihilation, annihilation.”
Clap!
The cannons installed on the roof of the building began to operate.
Originally, it was the last line of defense established to prevent disasters from entering the city.
The muzzle was now aimed at citizens.
“launch.”
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Autocannons with a rate of fire of hundreds of rounds per second spewed fire.
In front of him, the body is no different from a piece of meat.
I couldn’t even hear a scream.
The machine cannons installed here and there were intricately interlocked to form a perfect kill zone. Pieces of shattered asphalt fluttered, and what used to be human bones and flesh fluttered between them.
“Hidden things. Kill them all.”
The troops lined up behind them started clearing up.
All of these objects were created to obey Tell’s orders thoroughly.
No remorse or remorse whatsoever.
“Aagh!”
“Help me! Help me!”
“Tell Nim! Tell Niyim!”
Screams and moans resound from everywhere.
There is nowhere to escape.
All exits were sealed with an intangible barrier.
The survivors are hiding, but they will soon be discovered.
“How many are there?”
Tell counted.
I stopped at ten thousand.
“I don’t know.”
It doesn’t matter.
Tata Tang!
Tuta Tata!
The noise of machine guns and assault rifles adorned the city.
