Chapter 73 After the end of the war (2)
One of the gymnasiums that exist within the Hwangseong Fortress.
Crackle, clap jigjik!
There was a huge thunderstorm going on there.
The owner of such a thunderbolt is
“… … Claire.”
As one of the warriors, it was Lane Dranir, who was now given the title of Dragon Dragon Emperor.
And the opponent receiving her thunderbolt,
“Claire!”
It was the warrior Claire Flosimar.
There was a reason Lane was calling Claire’s name over and over again.
Paan!
Because she wasn’t concentrating on Dalian at all.
as proof of that,
“… … uh?”
It wasn’t until Lane called out her name three times that the answer came out of Claire’s mouth.
“… … Let’s just do the Dalian here. What are you thinking these days?”
At the sight of such a hero, Lane shook her head and lifted her spear.
“… … sorry.”
Claire immediately acknowledges her condition and apologizes.
Not long ago, no, to be exact, after Emperor Zion left the Imperial Palace without a word, she had been in this state.
Of course, the object of that thought was Zion.
‘under… … Why am I doing this?’
No matter how hard I tried to get it off, I couldn’t get it off.
As if Emperor Zion’s departure from the Imperial Castle was a signal.
Since then, thoughts of him have filled my head, causing a variety of complex emotions.
A feeling I’ve never felt in my life.
To be honest, I was feeling it little by little before the war with the Demon Magician, but at that time I thought it was just a longing for the Eternal Age.
However, now that those emotions have been amplified, I am realizing that it is not just a longing.
I wanted to resemble Emperor Zion, to follow him, and to be in the same space.
‘I really don’t know, what is this… … .’
When a complex light drifts in Claire’s eyes at those unfamiliar emotions,
“I guess it’s love~ I can’t seem to forget it~”
Liusina entered the dance hall humming the first song she had ever heard.
The witch, who looked at Claire, who was unwittingly surprised, with a strange look,
“No, when the hell is the owner coming?”
suddenly tempered.
Even at the end of the day, his eccentric personality did not seem to be fixed.
“Do you have any words for you guys?”
And the answer to that question came from an unexpected place, not from the hero’s party.
“Hmm, come to think of it, there was one word that His Majesty the Emperor had instructed him to deliver around this time.”
Fredo, who was quietly inspecting the dance hall from the side, opened his mouth.
“What? What do you mean?”
At that, everyone who was there turned their heads toward the old knight.
“You told me to prepare for war.”
“War? What war are you talking about? Isn’t it all over?”
It was as he said.
The Agnes Empire had already acquired all regions except for the extreme remote areas where life could not survive, and there were no forces against the Empire any more.
So there was no reason to start a war.
“I know? You already have no place to rule, do you? Unfortunately, that is.”
At the words of the witch who nodded at him,
“Another world.”
An unexpected word came out of Fredo’s mouth.
“He told us to prepare for war against the other world.”

end of the world.
Contrary to its name, it was very peaceful.
It’s like being in the middle of spring in March.
It was the earth covered with flowers, trees, and all sorts of fantasy species that greeted Zion, who had moved beyond the cracked space.
‘I think a lot of Arkenidia’s tastes are reflected.’
As if to prove Zion’s thoughts,
“Welcome, Orrelion!”
The first to appear before Zion was Achenidia, the god of nature and spirits.
The goddess who runs towards Zion with a lively appearance as before.
Judging by the momentum, it seemed like she would hug Zion as it was, but she stopped right in front of her to see if she had any sense of self-control.
“Congratulations! You have fulfilled your contract!”
Next to Achenidia, who continued to speak with such dazzling eyes,
“Come.”
Luminus, the god of light, and Loki, the god of fire, appeared one after the other.
“I didn’t think I’d get the deal done so quickly.”
“If possible, it would be better to be quick.”
After saying that, Shion answered Loki who shrugged and turned his head toward Luminus, who was taking the form of a middle-aged man.
Unlike in the past, the appearance of the God of Light is perfectly visible.
That meant that Zion’s own level had risen that much.
“Now that the contract is complete, let’s settle it.”
“… … Whether in the past or the present, only the main point has not changed.”
The words that came out of Luminus’s mouth, shaking his head with him, were not about settlement.
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
“Are you going to talk?”
“Your source.”
To be precise, the source of Zion’s power, the Black Star.
“I know you were also very interested in this. Aren’t you curious?”
“… … Tell me.”
When Shion nodded his head, the God of Light continued to speak slowly as if he had been waiting.
“How many fates do you think there are in one world? millions? Tens of millions?”
Luminous with both hands wide open.
“No, much more than that. To the extent that even I, who is a god, cannot count. So, how many worlds do you think there will be in this universe with so many fates?”
It was also unknown.
“The number between the lines is 18 thousand, but that is also incorrect. There are actually far more worlds in this universe than that, and even at this moment, countless worlds are being destroyed and reborn.”
The God of Light, who had spoken up to that point, gathered his outstretched hands in front of his chest.
“Therefore, there is an infinite number of people in this universe, and they are so unique and diverse. However, they all have one thing in common.”
A tiny light generated between those Luminous hands.
“It all belongs to the great destiny.”
great fate.
It was an entirely different concept from the common destiny of mortals.
The main stream that governs everything in this universe.
It contained even the orders of the supreme deities that affected the entire universe.
“But you are not.”
Luminus’ eyes turned to Shion again.
“You do not belong to the Great Destiny, and your power, your very existence, is not at all compatible with this universe.”
There was only one reason.
“outside. It is because you are from outside the universe.”
The ‘outside’ that existed before the Creator God created this universe.
In other words, even Luminus himself and the superlative gods did not know about such ‘outside’, which is called ‘outside’.
No matter how close their knowledge and powers may be, they too were, after all, beings in this universe.
Just like a frog in a well can’t see out.
They also did not know the outside of the universe.
It is the realm of the complete unknown and imaginary.
“An unknown being.”
A voice that flows like an assertion.
“An indeterminate, inaccurate, obscure existence. That is you, my lord.”
With him, Luminus’ eyes begin to glow strangely.
“I’m sorry for that, but… … We cannot pay you for the contract.”
and the next statement.
It was very unconventional, but the eyes of the God of Light did not change from the first time.
As if I had been thinking about it for a long time.
It wasn’t because the causality rate to be given now was a waste.
Because the damage to himself and the other gods was much greater than that due to unilateral breach of contract.
“You are too dangerous.”
Nevertheless, this decision was made because of the origin of Zion, as I just said.
“To this world, and even to the entire universe.”
The power that Zion showed in the last battle with the Demon King.
It was so transcendent that even Luminus, who had reached an advanced level, shuddered, but rather, he was able to solidify his determination.
Because I couldn’t predict what would happen if the man in front of me ascended to the divine status.
It could be reborn as a new cosmic disaster.
“Hey, what does that mean?”
Next to Luminus, Achenidia shouted with a voice full of bewilderment.
“You won’t pay the price! Orrelion kept his contract perfectly with us. No, I did more than that. You’re not going to give me an extra reward, but I’m not going to give you what I had? What nonsense is that!”
The face of the goddess gradually contorted.
As if sympathizing with Archenidia’s feelings, the trees and flowers around them begin to tremble.
Unlike Loki, who had no reaction, Luminous seemed to have given her nothing.
at that time,
“You don’t have to.”
A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth, who was quietly listening to the gods.
“Because I was planning on taking it by force anyway.”
With those words, Shion raised her head slowly, and the corner of her mouth had a faint smile as if she knew it was going to be like this from the beginning.
In fact, Zion had been thinking about it for a long time.
Why doesn’t the causal rate build up on you alone?
Zion’s conclusion about him was that this world itself did not want him to ascend to the Godhead.
It must have been because of the influence that I felt a strange sense of pressure when I was using my strength recently.
The fact that the gods could not have been unaware of such a fact and that they were still silent meant that they were also implicitly participating in the will of the world.
‘There’s no way these guys are going to give me a causal ratio now.’
Still, the reason why Shion was silently listening to Luminus was to fully understand his uncertain source.
“Ha, now that means the three of us… … No, are you going to fight them both?”
Loki, who was listening to Shion’s words, snorted.
“how? Is there any way?”
The eyes of the Fire God who spoke like that were shining with an absurd light.
In fact, it had to be.
No matter how much Zion has no rival in this world, he is said to come from the ‘outside’.
In any case, he was among mortals other than the Godhead, and he couldn’t draw out all the power of ‘outside’.
In such a situation, forcing the causal ratio to be taken away from him was beyond absurdity, and his self-esteem was inevitably damaged.
“Emperor, I already know that you are strong.”
As if agreeing with Loki’s words, Luminus also nodded and opened his mouth.
“If it’s the power you showed when you faced the Demon King, it would be possible to face us at the same time. However… … You can’t use that power right now.”
The god of light knew.
The power of the 9 Stars under the Black Star that Zion showed during the final battle was a level that was temporarily reached through Kronos’ last question.
The moment the power of the question disappeared, the status that reached that state and the myth must have been lost as well.
That is why I could only think of Zion’s appearance as a mere bluff.
“So if you talk about rewards other than causality, listen… … .”
But before the words of Luminus were finished,
“by the way.”
A cold voice came out of Shion’s mouth.
The eyes of the emperor slowly drawing a crescent moon with him.
“Why do you think that power is gone?”
“… … What?”
“I never once said I lost my strength again.”
The moment the eyes of the gods including Luminus shook at those incomprehensible words,
Shrek-
Nine black stars began to rise in Zion’s eyes, who were facing them.
Ship😋
Yes
So Claire fell in love With Zion huh
