〈 Dragon’s Child (4) 〉
The battlefield where the battle for the fate of the world took place just a few days ago—Beijing.
In the aftermath of the fierce war at that time… and especially in the aftermath of the devastating breath that blew up the city, a large altar was built in the middle of the ruins, where only miserable ruins remained.
An enormous altar built in several steps like a ziggurat.
It was hard to believe that the structure, which was hundreds of meters long on one side, was built in just a few days, but this was not a very difficult task for the being who was currently revealing his presence at the top of the altar.
‘Well, this is sturdy enough. I’m only going to use it this once anyway, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have it remain forever as a symbolic landmark.’
Horus, a golden creature who checked the durability of the structure by stepping on it with his huge and heavy body, nodded with satisfaction.
It was at this altar that the ceremony of rebuilding the Dragon Heart would take place.
Of course, this will become a very historic building for Kang Hwan-gye as a whole and will be preserved forever, and it will also serve as great karma for the creator himself.
‘Compared to what I have done so far and the points I will earn in the future, it may not be much.’
When the sun’s light, which was slowly beginning to rise, hit the golden body of Horus, who was smiling so happily, and shattered it.
[All preparations here are complete.]
The loud voice of the white dragon flowed into his head.
[Are you sure it’s okay? Of course, I don’t doubt Horus’ abilities, but this is our first time experiencing something like this.]
[Well, I’m sure he can take care of it. You’ve already become more proficient in martial arts than most people, right? Add to that the magic used in the original world… Wow, I couldn’t understand a single thing even after looking at that.]
Then, the voices of the blue dragon and the red dragon were heard, but the only one present was Horus.
The doctor being communicated to him now is a kind of telepathy.
The remaining members were preparing for a separate ceremony at the Dragon God Temple in the Hwankai.
[It wasn’t something that should be handled this complicatedly… There’s nothing we can do about it. First of all, we have put in place a safety device, so even if something goes wrong, we can just do it the way we originally planned.]
Horus smiled bitterly at the black dragon’s grumbling voice that followed.
At first she was opposed to the methods proposed by Horus.
There is a sure way, so there is no need to go back and take risks.
The well-being of the human dragon children was not that important to her, so it was natural.
‘Well, it wasn’t that difficult to convince him.’
The dragon child was not just an ordinary human.
They were a kind of apostles personally arranged by the Dragon God and given to the world.
If you think about it, wouldn’t it be possible to say that they are not that related to the Five Dragons, who claim to be the legitimate children of the Dragon God?
When I emphasized that part, the black dragon also obediently agreed and retreated.
As much as she was hostile to humans, she was also more generous than anyone else to the family members who came into the same enclosure.
[This side is also ready. Now, we can start a few o’clock later when the sun reaches its peak.]
Horus, who had estimated the position of the sun rising little by little over the ridge, turned his gaze elsewhere.
In the southwest direction, not far from here.
There, a group of people was slowly approaching this direction.
‘You’re here.’
The dragon children who are essential for the ceremony and the martial arts union masters who escorted them here.
And then there was a large barbarian and a black, ominous coffin on his back.
All the necessary ingredients were gathered in one place.
***
The dazzling sunlight shining down on the ground.
The sun rose overhead.
“Whoa.”
While climbing the stairs step by step in the sunlight, Zhuge Hyemi let out a deep sigh.
From the moment I entered the altar, it felt like I was in a completely different world. I was free from the influence of the demonic sutra and could breathe easier, but I couldn’t help but feel my heart tremble as the miracle I had hoped for was just around the corner.
‘I thought there was absolutely no possibility, but I never thought it would turn out like this. Maybe this is really….’
The future that I couldn’t even dare to dream of was approaching as if I could reach it.
I thought that happiness was a luxury for someone who would soon pass away and disappear from this world.
Is it really possible to continue dreaming in this world?
With courage restored, strife disappears and we live with our loved ones in a healthy body in a peaceful world.
‘…get married and have children like everyone else…’ As
her thoughts continued, Zhuge Hyemi’s white face turned red.
‘no no! It’s too early! Oh, we’re not even like that yet…!’
Then, she took another deep breath and shook her head roughly, as if erasing someone’s face from her mind.
Wherever his usual cool-headed sense of reason went, he was repeatedly derailed by accidents running rampant.
Anyone who sees it seems to have an unusual reaction.
But despite her actions, no one here particularly cared about her.
“Hmm! greatness!”
“haha.”
The other dragon children were also distracted by the rising tension.
Eventually, they reached the top of the altar and looked up with trembling gaze at the yellow dragon, a gigantic golden creature they had only heard about in childhood.
[No need to be too nervous. It won’t take that long.]
A voice filled with a heavy sense of intimidation flowed into their heads.
A strange voice that feels like an arrogant absolute person or an innocent child.
The content seemed to be intended to relieve their stiffened tension, but…
gulp—
no one here could relax just by hearing those words.
That’s because they were living witnesses who witnessed with their own eyes what kind of being that yellow dragon was.
The golden brilliance that struck down from the sky to the ground like a heavenly punishment followed by an enormous explosion and a huge mushroom cloud.
And now, as they stood on the high altar, the results were clearly visible to their eyes.
‘The place where the building and the walls were…’
The empty plain surrounding the altar.
They clearly remembered how they flew out of Beijing.
Originally, this area was full of complex ruins.
However, as I was standing face to face with a being of such majesty on the altar, I felt as if I was a living sacrifice offered to a monster.
Of course, the reality was quite the opposite.
[Now, everyone, take your seats. I will take care of the rest, so sleep well.]
A platform in the center where a pitch-black coffin is placed.
Surrounding it were rock chairs that seemed to rise straight from the ground.
At first glance, they were uncomfortable chairs that did not take the user’s convenience into consideration at all, but they could not bear to argue with that.
It wasn’t long before they all sat down after being so hesitant…
[It’s almost time. Then it begins.]
With the declaration of Horus, who was quietly looking up at the sky.
The ceremony began.
***
The first was from the Dragon Temple.
Gooooo—
As soon as the ritual led by the other dragons was activated, the atmosphere of Beijing began to shake violently.
A loud reaction that has never been seen before.
Not only were all the five dragons not gathered in the dragon temple, but the dragon children were not sacrificed either, so the phenomenon was extremely unstable.
If we leave it like this, it won’t be long before the situation gets worse.
Ugh—!
However, the situation took a sharp turn when Horus, located in Beijing, took over the consciousness.
The strange characters carved all over the altar slowly glowed and drew the swirling energy of the surroundings to the center.
‘Then let’s get started.’
A golden glow burst from Horus’s eyes.
A lot of knowledge accumulated over time was released and woven together to build a huge system.
A complex technique that combines the mysteries of many worlds, such as witchcraft and magic.
A huge magic circle floating in the sky followed by an altar on the ground.
Whoooo—
roomp—
storms swept everywhere and earthquakes shook the earth.
The “Ruler of All Things” controlled the surrounding energy, the “Mysterious Explorer” refined and processed it, and the “Resister of Providence” blocked minor variables in advance.
A huge energy moved and passed through the bodies of those sitting on the chairs and connected with the body of the Karma Gangshi – the Heavenly Demon – placed in the center of the altar.
A heavenly demon that absorbs karma from all directions through a straw-like connection.
Due to the tremendous flow of energy, all of the dragon children except Zhuge Hyemi fainted at once, but even she could barely hold on and had no mind to think about anything else.
‘Since most of the burden of consciousness has been dispersed elsewhere, there will be no significant strain on the body. Because it’s an altar for that.’
Damn it!
Thin incontinence began to appear throughout the sturdy altar.
Horus, who was in charge of the ceremony, frowned slightly at the pressure weighing heavily on his body and examined the state of the Heavenly Demon, the medium that absorbs karma.
And the moment I decided it was time.
All of that karma was sent downward through a previously prepared passage.
Towards the remains of the sacrificial Tam just below this altar.
Wriggling Wriggling—
A huge body that continuously convulses and absorbs the injected karma.
[Kukkuk – It’s also a greedy guy, so I swallow it well. It was an excellent choice.]
Hans, who was assisting with the ceremony in the basement, nodded with satisfaction.
In the first place, Tam is a monster whose very existence specializes in eating things.
Even if the body was already dead, it was the best sacrifice that was superior to anything else in terms of containing energy in the body.
[Great. If you’ve come this far, it’s almost over.]
‘Tam’, the demonic dragon of annihilation who has stepped into godhood.
And through the ritual, even the arrangement of the main deity filled within it.
The joint work between the Gold Dragon, who studied abroad, and the Demon King, who specializes in invading other worlds, has entered the final stage.
Paaaa—
Tam’s gigantic body was engulfed in light and disintegrated into pieces.
Soon, a huge pillar of light shot up from the basement, through the altar, and up into the sky.
A sight so overwhelming and majestic that it can be observed from any distance, even from the tip of this continent.
Everyone looked at it with fascinated eyes.
Zhuge Hyemi, who was barely able to hold on to her senses, masters who were anxiously waiting outside the altar, organizations that were reorganizing their forces in various places, and people who were worried about getting a meal right now due to the long tribulation.
I stared blankly at the sky with my mouth open.
As tears dripped down without knowing why they were flowing.
After such a short period of time has passed.
When the light that started to gradually fade completely disappeared.
All the avatars in the Kang Hwan Realm could feel it intuitively.
A future where the fate that covered this world was twisted like a thread and was running toward its end.
Right now, in an instant, we are facing a catastrophe.
[Horus! Success! Balance…!]
[Wow! You really did it! Now…!]
[Is this really happening? No way…]
[Good work…]
At the same time, the loud voices of the dragons reached Horus.
Those at the Dragon Temple also immediately grasped the situation.
‘done.’
I wasn’t worried that this was a temporary phenomenon or that there might be some side effects.
Because now, before his eyes, there was clearer evidence than anything else that the ritual had been completed properly.
《Achievement accomplished! We have restored a world that has lost its balance and is collapsing.》
《The special privilege “Savior” is granted as a reward for successfully normalizing one dimension. Ignores all restrictions that occur in this dimension.》
《Achieved a great feat and had a great impact on the world. Karma increases significantly. 》
It is not an ‘achievement’ that has been achieved quite a lot so far.
It was the first ‘feat’ achieved other than crossing dimensions.
***
Inside the other side of the world adjacent to Earth.
Trembling—
Inyoung’s body, which had been stiff as a stone statue while sitting cross-legged, wriggled.
Once, twice… The cramps gradually become stronger as time passes.
As the stimulation continued for a while, his eyelids, which had been dead and unresponsive, slowly began to open.
“This is…”
Beoncheonhoeju, who had been immersed within himself and contemplating the passage of time without realizing the passage of time, opened his eyes and immediately grasped the situation.
If this kind of response has been received, it must not be a trivial issue.
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out the cause.
“Is it Kang Hwan-gye again?”
A dimension where Cheonma, one of the apostles representing his divinity, died some time ago.
It was quite annoying when the person in charge of supplying Shinsung in the colony suddenly passed away, but this time, a problem occurred that was bothersome in a slightly different way.
“…how?”
A great change was taking place in the flow of cause and effect connected to oneself.
The dimension that was so thoroughly damaged that it can never be restored is slowly being restored to its original state.
It was not a problem that simply ended with the death of the general manager.
‘Did the Lord intervene? No, there must be a limit to what the Lord can do. Even Kang Hwan-gye was a neglectful person.’
Because the god of one dimension was such a huge being, it was almost impossible to fine-tune the problems that occurred within it.
Maybe it would be better to destroy everything and build a new one. Normalizing and restoring a dimension with a lot of problems here and there is usually not something that can be achieved by luck…
‘I thought it was completely destroyed. I guess I missed something.’
All the Lord can do is throw out some possibilities and wait for the creatures to figure it out on their own.
I took that into account and wrote down a number in advance, but looking at it now, it seems like even that wasn’t enough.
‘I felt uncomfortable ever since Cheonma died.’
It seemed like a great hero had been born somewhere in that dimension.
It also has the potential to be strong enough to distort even causality that was already close to being confirmed.
“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do about what happened in the past.”
Although it was unexpected, there was nothing he could do about it right away.
Since Kang Hwan-gye has already been harmed enough to be robbed, trying to force him to go over again will only serve to vent his anger.
It was much more profitable to explore new dimensions than to revisit places where even the original shrine could not be found.
“…So, is it time to start moving again?”
In a quiet space isolated from the world.
The giant, who had been sleeping quietly for a while, began to wake up again.
To feast on another world that will satisfy one’s hunger.
***
“Good. Very good.”
I nodded in satisfaction, holding a beer and a chicken leg in each hand.
Since ancient times, there has been a law that requires fair compensation for labor.
Isn’t the time to check it out the moment that all workers look forward to the most?
In particular, settlement immediately after completing a large-scale project like this one could not help but be expected.
“Then, let’s take a look…”
The last time I checked was when the Heavenly Demon Church headquarters was swallowed up and 『Dimensional Barrier Reduction』 was strengthened with 6 million points.
At that time, I was completely wiped out, so it was hard to buy 『Elixir of Growth (7 Days)』 for a while….
『Holding Karma – 9510657』
“…Karma is being copied….”
Now my eyes What was visible was an overflowing feast of numbers, as if the bottom had just been reached.
