128. Gamcheon is intelligence
The sun spins around the planet and scatters light. A land depleted of all vitality under the tricks of evil spirits. However, because there is sunlight that embraces all things, even in a world that has already reached its end, life is born.
The moon follows the trail of the sun and collects the souls of the dead. Attracted by the gravitational force of the two spinning around as if catching each other’s tail, the stopped planet starts to rotate once more.
It is the promise of the gods to maintain this world. In return, even if he is nailed to this empty universe, even if he becomes a celestial being who can no longer approach his beloved creatures on earth.
[Star.]
The ‘sun’ called the name of a third god far away from them.
There was no such thing as the heavenly beings praised by earthly beings. The place where the gods lie down is an empty universe with nothing, and countless shining stars in it.
The entire universe responded to the call of the sun.
[Yeah, I’m listening.]
If the sun nurtures life on dead planets to sprout, and the moon spins the wheel on behalf of a world whose reincarnating function is broken, then the role of the stars is to separate their universe from the universe ‘outside’ them. .
A planetary deity who lost his hometown, a planetary eater without reason. In order to protect this world from the unbearable threat of outer space, the stars divided themselves countless times.
The Milky Way became tens of millions of pupils to monitor the outer universe, and the dark nebula became a blackout covering the world, covering their eyes so that the eyes of disaster would not reach this place.
[Did you check what happened to the hero’s work?]
Unlike the sun and moon, which can always look at the earth naturally while circling the planet, the duty of a ‘star’ to always look only at the distant horizon. Right given to her.
It has always been the privilege of the stars to manage and observe the warriors. Besides, in this generation, he even chose the saintess of the stars himself.
[Are you talking about the moment when our protection was cut off?]
[Yes. There must have been some divine intervention.]
[Don’t worry, it wasn’t that serious. There were only remnants of ‘him’ that could not be eradicated.]
Apart from the unbelievably plain tone of voice that it is an existence that dominates a planet, the topic it deals with is quite heavy.
[Is it called the Dark Church…? It seems like the oracle was given last time, but it still hasn’t been destroyed.]
[Didn’t you come to love mortals because of their tenacity and obsession?]
[I will not deny it. Their lives are short and fleeting…But they are gorgeous.]
‘Taeyang’ was silent for a while.
[So I have to protect them. They are fragile, and without protection, their beauty will soon be lost.]
[Nothing to worry about. Although I couldn’t figure out the true nature of that power, the trap that drove the hero disappeared through the cracks in space.]
[Thank God.]
After a short and heavy mental wave, they were silent for a while. For those who have already far surpassed the level of ascension, aimless conversations were unnecessary.
An hour passed that seemed like an instant or an eternity. In a universe where faint light pulsates in the dark, even the notion of time has become blurred. Infinite stillness flows.
[Come to think of it, I have a small problem.]
[What is it?]
[I don’t know the exact reason, but the hero isn’t waking up right after the fight.]
The sun let out a heavy moan and looked down at the ground. It was visible in his eyes, who had already been reborn as a cosmic being. In the shadows of the world, the darkness like stains that gradually increase their size.
It was something more repulsive than a flying insect and more tenacious than a fungus. If the hero does not play his role in time, the world will eventually be swallowed up by darkness.
A prophecy close to confirmation by a cosmic being. In order to escape that destructive future, the hero had to do his part.
[That’s why… Can I use my hands a little?]
[What?]
[Even if it’s not hot enough, I have my followers on the ground, so if I use her powers, I’ll be able to awaken her hero right away.]
A suggestion from ‘Star’. However, the sun somehow showed a disapproving expression.
[Are you okay? If you use your power too elsewhere…]
[Trust me.]
In the end, Taeyang accepted her opinion. It was because it was as important for the warriors to clean up the darkness accumulated on the ground as it was for the ‘stars’ to split themselves and cover the world.
The hero must wake up. And I had to travel, fight, finally defeat the demon king and save the world.
If the fallen hero never gets up again, it will be hopeless not only for the individual hero, but also for the whole world. It just had to be stopped.

It was in the late afternoon when Cream woke up.
The wounds on her body had already healed, but for some reason she couldn’t open her eyes for a long time. Since we don’t know the situation, we can’t just move it, so we’ve been waiting for Cream to wake up here for the past few days.
In the meantime, I cleaned up the corpses of monsters strewn about in the underground cavity, and prepared basic furniture, albeit sloppily. Meals were solved by catching nearby beasts or monsters.
“Ugh…”
Of course, me, the Holy Sword, and Muffin didn’t have hands, so Choco had to take care of all of this.
Well, since it was for the master, Choco didn’t express any dissatisfaction either. I wonder if even the gods in the heavens were moved by the appearance of such a guy.
As usual, taking the form of her beast and holding her cream in her arms, Choco felt for the first time a strange thing happening to her.
[Oh!]
And our gazes also focused on Cream as he exclaimed in embarrassment. Although Cream was still drooping in her Choco’s arms with her eyes closed.
Her group of lights that surrounded her were gradually fading. It wasn’t that his strength was exhausted, but because he had exhausted his usefulness, his protection was withdrawn. I instinctively felt that fact.
Like the tip of a brush drawn by God with all his might, his delicate eyebrows wriggled. The power inherent in the girl began to stir vigorously unlike before.
[Cream!]
“Master!”
[Hero!]
As if to respond to various calls, the trembling eyelids finally opened. The light of the stars peeked out one by one between the blurred eyes, as if lost in focus and fog.
Soon, a bright light returned to Cream’s eyes. She stretched her skinny limbs out, still leaning on her choco.
From noble mtl dot com
“Haam.”
Of course, I didn’t want Cream to get sick, but it’s a bit embarrassing to see her so calm. However, Cream, who blinked her eyes, not paying attention to the gazes around her, immediately turned her head away.
The end of that gaze was, of course, directed at me. The cream, which jumped out of Choco’s arms, approached me confidently. She was so resilient that it was hard to believe that she had been passed out for several days.
[Ha ha ha. Are you okay?]
Ugh, but I’m fine now, so I wasn’t brazen enough to say. Cream pulled me out of her floor, and I carefully checked Cream’s eyes.
As if she couldn’t hear the roaring voice of the Holy Sword, Cream was looking at me with her eyes narrowed. My handle, to be exact.
“Is it sealed or unsealed?”
[Ah, ahahahahaha… Huh.]
I’m embarrassed, really! Cream can feel my thoughts, but my inability to read Cream’s thoughts has never felt so absurd as it does now.
Obviously, I thought Cream would get angry at me for recklessly rolling her body after she came to her senses. Cream’s expression was as fat as usual, but not particularly fat.
“Have you been able to solve it on your own before?”
[Right?]
It wouldn’t work if I told a lie anyway, so I admitted in a timid voice. But why are you asking this at this timing?
I was supposed to be reading my thoughts, but Cream didn’t give me any answers. Instead, she gave a small laugh.
“That’s right.”
It was so pale and faint that a person unfamiliar with cream would not recognize it, but it was definitely a smile.
“Sealed, because, together, going, saying, like that.”
[Ugh.]
And she caught her eye out of nowhere. I groaned at the memory that hadn’t been long in time, but somehow felt like a long time ago, and Cream chuckled again.
The rest of the party looked at the cream with puzzled eyes. She wasn’t that Cream was particularly cold or cold-tempered, but she wasn’t that funny either.
Maybe she felt the gaze, or maybe it read my thoughts, Cream soon went back to her usual sullen expression.
“Now, no, leave, right?”
However, I was taken aback when Cream asked, still pretending to be calm.
None of her actions fit my prediction criteria. The reason Cream fainted for days was because I used too much of her power.
Naturally, I assumed that as soon as Cream came to her senses, she would argue with me. But Cream smiled at me, and she asked if she was leaving now.
“Huh?”
Maybe it’s because the bond between the souls got closer because of what happened at that time? Although weak, Cream’s feelings were transmitted to me as well. She was sorry
Why you? It was rather you who suffered the damage because of my rampage. Now she was lucky enough to wake up early, but it was obviously a burden even for the hero.
So I was thinking about what to apologize for. Her cream hand trembled slightly, so that I wouldn’t notice unless I was in direct contact with her.
[Obviously.]
So I swallowed everything I was about to say. I don’t think she wants to talk about what happened at that time. Instead, he told her what she wanted to hear.
Only then, as if feeling a little relieved, Cream removed her strength from her hand that held me. She received me with a careful gesture, and I slipped into her scabbard, familiarly hanging from her waist.
Now I’m used to this place and the shaking when Cream takes a bruising step. It was a mouthful to say that he would not leave, but at the same time he was sincere.
“Thank God, hey.”
And Cream laughed. Brighter than the previous two times.
Looking at her, I couldn’t ask her any more questions.
