I became the youngest prince in the novel Chapter 278

Chapter 73 After the end of the war (2)

One of the training halls within the imperial castle.

Pajijijijik, pajijijijik!

A huge thunderstorm was raging there.

The owner of such a thunderbolt is,

“… … “Claire.”

One of the warriors was Raine Dranir, who was now given the title of Dragon Emperor.

And the person receiving her thunderbolts is,

“Claire!”

It was the warrior Claire Plosimar.

There was a reason why Lane was calling Claire’s name over and over again.

Paaang!

Because she wasn’t concentrating on sparring at all.

As proof,

“… … uh?”

Only after Lane called her name three times did the answer come out of Claire’s mouth.

“… … Let’s stop the sparring here. “What on earth are you thinking about these days?”

Seeing the hero like that, Rain shook his head and put away his spear.

“… … sorry.”

Claire immediately acknowledges her condition and apologizes.

She had been in this state for some time now, or more precisely, since Emperor Zion left the imperial castle without saying anything.

Of course, the object of those thoughts was Zion.

‘under… … ‘Why am I doing this?’

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake it off.

It was as if Emperor Zion’s departure from the imperial castle was a signal.

After that, thoughts about him filled my head, causing a variety of complex emotions.

A feeling I’ve never felt before in my life.

In fact, I had been feeling it a little bit since before the war with the devil, but at the time, I thought it was just a yearning for eternity.

However, now that those feelings were amplified, I realized that it was not just a simple yearning.

I wanted to resemble Emperor Zion, follow in his footsteps, and also want to be in the same space.

‘I really don’t know what this is… … .’

When those unfamiliar emotions fill Claire’s eyes with a complex light,

“I guess it’s love~ I guess I can’t forget it~”

Liu Sina entered the training hall humming a song she had never heard before.

The witch looked at Claire, who was startled without realizing it, with a strange look in her eyes.

“No, when will the owner come?”

I suddenly lost my temper.

Even after reaching the end, his eccentric personality did not seem to change.

“Is there anything left for you guys?”

And the answer to that question came from an unexpected place, not from the warrior’s party.

“Hmm, now that I think about it, there was something that His Majesty the Emperor instructed me to convey around this time.”

Fredo, who was quietly inspecting the training ground from the side, opened his mouth.

“what? “What?”

At that, the heads of everyone present turned towards the old knight.

“He 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 taken control of all areas except the extremely remote areas where life could not survive, and there were no longer any forces opposing the empire.

Therefore, there was no reason to start a war.

“I know? Isn’t there already no place to rule anymore? “Unfortunately.”

At the words of the witch who nodded at him,

“Another world.”

Words that were completely unexpected came out of Fredo’s mouth.

“He told us to prepare for war with other worlds.”

* * *

The end of the world.

Despite its name, the place was very peaceful.

As if we were in the middle of spring in March.

What greeted Zion, who walked beyond the divided space, was a land covered with flowers, trees, and all kinds of fantastic species.

‘I think it reflects a lot of Arkenidia’s tastes.’

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 running towards Zion with the same lively appearance as before.

Looking at her momentum, it seemed like she was going to hug Shion, but she seemed to have no self-control at all and stopped right in front of her.

“congratulation! “You fulfilled your contract!”

Next to Archenidia, who continued speaking with those bright eyes,

“You’re here.”

Luminous, the god of light, and Loki, the god of fire, appeared one after another.

“I didn’t expect the contract to be completed this quickly.”

“It would be better to be quick if possible.”

Shion answered Loki, who shrugged his shoulders while saying that, and turned his head towards Luminous, who was taking on the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Unlike the past, the appearance of the God of Light appears perfectly.

That meant that Zion’s own status had risen.

“The contract has been completed, so let’s settle it now.”

“… … Whether in the past or present, it remains the same to only talk about the main point.”

The words that came out of Luminous’s mouth, who shook his head along with him, were not about settlement.

“Before that, I have something to talk about first.”

“Something to talk about?”

“Your origin.”

To be exact, the source of the Black Star, the power of Zion.

“I understand you were also very interested in this. “Aren’t you curious?”

“… … say it.”

When Zion nodded, the God of Light spoke slowly, as if he had been waiting.

“How many fates do you think exist in one world? millions? “Tens of millions?”

Luminous spreads both hands wide.

“No, it’s much more than that. So many that even I, a godhead, can’t count them. “Then how many worlds with so many fates do you think there are in total in this universe?”

I didn’t know that either.

“They say there are 18,000 between the lines, but that is also wrong. “In reality, there are far more worlds than that in this universe, and they are being destroyed and reborn countless times at this very moment.”

The God of Light who spoke so far brought his outstretched hands together in front of his chest.

“That’s why there is an infinite number of lives in this universe, and they are so unique and diverse. However, all of them have one thing in common.”

A small light created between those luminous hands.

“It all belongs to the great destiny.”

Great destiny.

It was a completely different concept from the common destiny spoken of by mortals.

The main stream that oversees everything in this universe.

It even contained the commandments of the highest-level gods that influenced the entire universe.

“But not you.”

Luminous’ eyes turn to Zion again.

“You do not belong to the great destiny, and your power and your very existence are completely unsuited to this universe.”

There was only one reason.

“outside. That’s because you come from outside the universe.”

The ‘outside’ that existed before the Creator God created this universe.

Even the highest level gods, including Luminus himself, knew nothing about the ‘outside’, which was otherwise called the ‘outer realm’.

No matter how much they possessed knowledge and power that was close to impossible, they were ultimately also beings in this universe.

Just like a frog in a well cannot see out.

They also could not know the outside of the universe.

It is truly an area of ​​complete unknown and emptiness.

“A being about whom nothing can be known.”

A voice that flows out as if making an assertion.

“An uncertain, imprecise, unclear entity. That is you, Emperor.”

At the same time, Luminous’s eyes begin to take on a strange glow.

“I’m sorry about that, but… … We cannot pay you for the contract.”

And the following remarks.

It was very unconventional, but the eyes of the God of Light did not change from the beginning.

As if I had been thinking about it for a long time.

It wasn’t because I felt like I was wasting the causality I had to give away now.

Because the damage to himself and other gods due to unilateral termination of the contract was much greater than that.

“You are too dangerous.”

Nevertheless, the reason this decision was made was because of the origin of Zion, as just mentioned.

“To this world, and even to this entire universe.”

The power that Zion showed in the final battle with the Demon King.

It was transcendental enough to make even Luminus himself, a high-level godhead, tremble, but that was actually what strengthened his decision.

Because I couldn’t predict what would happen if the man in front of me ascended to godhood.

It could be reborn as a new cosmic disaster.

“Well, what does that mean?”

Next to Luminous, Arcanidia shouted in a voice full of panic.

“You won’t pay the price! Orrelion has kept his contract with us perfectly. No, we did more than that. Even if they can’t give you additional compensation, they won’t even give you what they originally had? “What nonsense is that!”

The face of the goddess becomes increasingly distorted.

As if in sympathy with Arkenidia’s emotions, the trees and flowers around them begin to tremble.

Unlike Loki, who didn’t seem to react much, Luminous didn’t seem to give her any hints.

at that time,

“There’s no need for that.”

A low voice came from the mouth of Zion, who was quietly listening to the gods.

“I was planning on taking it by force anyway.”

With those words, Shion slowly raised his head, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if he had known from the beginning that this would happen.

Actually, I had been thinking about Zion for a long time.

Why does causality not accumulate only to oneself?

The conclusion Zion came to in response was that this world itself did not want him to ascend to godhood.

The fact that I felt a strange sense of pressure when I used my strength recently must have been due to that influence.

The gods could not have been unaware of this fact, and yet their silence was tantamount to saying that they, too, were implicitly participating in the will of the world.

‘There’s no way those guys can just give in to causality now.’

Nevertheless, the reason why Shion listened to Luminous in silence was to fully understand his uncertain origins.

“Ha, now that means the three of us… … “No, you’re going to deal with them both?”

Loki, who was listening to Shion’s words, snorted.

“how? “Is there any way?”

The eyes of the fire god who said that had a bewildering look in them.

In fact, it had to be that way.

No matter how much Zion has no opponents in this world, he is a being from the ‘outside’.

Even so, he was among mortals excluding gods and could not draw on all the power from the ‘outside’.

In such a situation, the idea of ​​forcibly taking away the law of cause and effect was not only absurd from his point of view, but also hurt his pride.

“Emperor, I already know that you are strong.”

Luminous also nodded and opened his mouth as if he agreed with Loki’s words.

“With the power he showed when dealing with the Demon King, it would be possible to fight against us at the same time. but… … “You can’t use that power now.”

The God of Light knew.

The power of the Nine Stars under the Black Star that Zion showed during the final battle was a state that was temporarily reached through Kronos’ last question.

The moment the power of the question disappeared, the status of reaching that level and myth would also have been lost.

Therefore, I could only think that Shion’s current appearance was simply bravado.

“So, if you talk about rewards other than causality, listen…” … .”

But before Luminous’ next words were even finished,

“by the way.”

A cold voice flowed from Shion’s mouth.

The emperor’s eyes slowly draw a crescent moon with him.

“Why do you think the power is gone?”

“… … what?”

“I never once said I lost my power again.”

The moment the eyes of the gods, including Luminous, shook at those incomprehensible words,

Sreuk-

Nine black stars began to rise within Zion’s eyes as he looked at them.
