I Raise a Skeleton Episode 582
The End of War (2)
“Heh heh.”
Ileor smiled brightly.
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.”
I couldn’t hide my trembling even while laughing at the wild energy I felt all over my body.
“You really kept your promise. 5%.”
Ileor, known as a genius in investment and betting.
He had enjoyed numerous rewards and received dividends in the past, but this was the first time he had hit the jackpot like this.
As per the contract, Joo Dong-hoon gave himself 5% of his total strength, and the size of that strength is… … .
‘It’s literally overwhelming.’
It is dozens, if not hundreds of times more powerful than the previous giants.
Is this what the once-godly gluttons felt like?
It feels like it has the destructive power to defeat any being in the universe except Joo Dong-hoon.
“Heh heh heh heh heh.”
Even though I tried to hold it back, laughter came out.
“Thank you, Joo Dong-hoon.”
Of course, it is a fair price.
But it is not a problem that can be taken for granted as justification.
Contract with the Akashic Records?
Joo Dong-hoon’s position and power right now can be completely ignored.
In the universe, power is law.
It’s unlikely, but if Joo Dong-hoon wanted to, it wouldn’t be a problem to pull out the roots of the World Tree.
That’s why Ileor was grateful.
I was grateful to God, Joo Dong-hoon, for keeping his promise without any fuss.
“I praise myself for boldly helping you from the beginning. Praise yourself.”
“I’m jealous.”
Demor, the Destruction Dragon next to him, smiled softly.
He also made great contributions, but he did not covet the 5%.
We didn’t even have a contract, and to be honest, I had a bit of an idea.
It was shameless to want to be treated the same as Ileor, the early public servant.
but.
“Demo.”
Joo Dong-hoon, who was in front of the two, extended his hand to Demore this time.
Gooooooo… … !
A huge amount of energy began to move towards it.
“huh?”
He looked visibly embarrassed.
“Thanks to Demor, I was able to achieve a great victory in the battle against the gluttonous species. Demor would never know. What it feels like to suddenly gain strength in a moment of darkness.”
“Is that so? I appreciate you saying that, but what are you doing…?”
“Furthermore, Demor saved my only precious blood relative.”
Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies… …!
An unprecedented power was transferred to Demor’s body.
Gulp.
Ileor watched the sight, swallowing his saliva.
“My father’s life is expensive.”
“… … !”
Joo Dong-hoon also gave 5% of his power to Demor.
Secondly, he has not achieved great feats comparable to those of Ileor.
‘balance.’
Because his origin is the sun and moon, that is, chaos, he knew better than anyone the importance of balance.
What if you give the Creator a lot of power?
It may be good now, but soon there will be dissonance.
Because if there is creation, there will be destruction, and if there is destruction, creation will be able to proceed smoothly.
“Huh, heh heh heh… … . Really?”
Demor observed the energy inside his body as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Can you really give me this much strength?”
“Yes, I feel a little sorry for Ileor.”
Swish.
Joo Dong-hoon looks at Illeore.
Crackle crackle.
Ileor immediately shook his head.
“No. How you use your power is up to you. It’s not for me to meddle. Also, the reward should be certain. I didn’t like it at first, but it’s true that I won in the end thanks to Demor’s help.”
“Well then, that’s good.”
As Joo Dong-hoon nodded, Illeore smiled and passed the situation.
Actually, there was nothing to feel bad about.
Anyway, he too received enormous power.
“Joo Dong-hoon.”

Ileor opened his mouth.
“yes?”
“Can I take this opportunity to make you a promise?”
“Tell me.”
“From now on, I plan to carry out creative and destructive activities according to your human standards.”
Demore and Ileor had a meeting before meeting Joo Dong-hoon.
Anyway, the god who rules this universe is a human from Earth, so I am ready to follow him.
“From now on, the Destruction Dragons will only touch the waste products that the Creation Dragons worked hard to create… … that is, the failed creations. The successful species will each live their own lives under the protection of the universe.”
Anyway, 99% of what the Creator Dragon creates is a failure.
It will more than satisfy the desires of the destroyers.
“Is that our human standard?”
“First of all, there is a strong atmosphere that values life.”
“That’s wonderful. Both of you. You even think of that.”
“and.”
This time, Demor looked at Joo Dong-hoon.
“Ileor and I are thinking of retiring soon.”
“Retirement?”
“Don’t you know? From the beginning until now. I’ve worked for so many years. I think it’s time to take a break. Besides, you’re a god. In order to maintain good relations with you, I think it would be better for us to put forward another leader.”
ah.
I have a rough idea of what you’re going to say.
“That’s right. The leader of the Destruction Dragons is Binasa. The leader of the Creation Dragons is Creed. I plan to push you like this. The justification is sufficient. After all, you are the ones who tamed them.”
Vinasa and Creed are the leaders.
Is this a cuteness strategy?
It certainly seems like it could give some cuteness to dragons.
“Then what about the two?”
“We are elders by your standards.”
Demor smiled with a languid expression.
“elder……?”
“Those who watch from behind and make noise.”
“Are they the ones who order the bosses around and only do the good things behind the scenes?”
“That’s correct.”
Demor admitted it cleanly, chuckling.
“I worked hard, so it’s okay, right?”
what.
That’s okay.
just.
Don’t worry about me and do whatever you want.
Honestly, I don’t think the two of them had anything to worry about.
They will do their job to ensure that the universe continues to function as it always has.
***
Time passed.
Ileor used his unique power of ‘creation’ to create a planetary structure similar to the original in the center of the universe.
One of those planets.
Kuung!
Dmir smiled refreshingly as he struck the heavy hammer down there.
Next to him was Joo Dong-hoon.
“Please, Dmir.”
“Master! Please! Of course!”
Originally, this coordinate was the place where the four great martial gods of the universe were honored.
But in the fight against the gluttonous species, it was blown away without leaving a single speck of dust behind.
“Are you asking me to build a hall here to honor Nedallam?”
“Yes, big. And more than anything, flashy.”
You can blow away all the previous warriors whose names you don’t know and don’t care about.
The god of war is a product of the ‘league’, and the ‘league’ no longer exists.
but.
Nedallam is not a god.
He is a hero.
In some ways, he was the one who contributed most significantly in the battle against the gluttonous species.
‘If there had been no Nedallam.’
The five gods would have awakened immediately, and everything would have collapsed without even absorbing the power of light.
Joo Dong-hoon wanted to honor him.
“Thank you, Master.”
Dmir smiled brightly.
“Thank you for giving me such an important task. I am looking forward to it. The only thing I am worried about is… .”
“worry?”
“Is it okay if it’s more splendid than the Peach Blossom Land? This is really, I thought that the production skills had reached the peak. As I was building the Peach Blossom Land, I realized something else. The essence of me that I felt back then… I want to pour it all into this planet.”
“okay?”
Joo Dong-hoon smiled brightly.
“I rather hope so.”
The Hall of Four Moons.
Dmir closed his eyes and looked at the empty ground.
At the same time, it gave free rein to one’s imagination.
‘This hall.’
Kuk.
Dmir’s hand, holding the hammer, was filled with strength.
‘We’ll make it into a hall of fame or something.’
A cosmic landmark honoring the heroes who gave their lives for the universe.
Of course, it will be the masterpiece of Dmir’s life, and something like that should never be made carelessly.
“Just five years. Just give me five years.”
Dmir’s eyes lit up.
“I will make it look like the most beautiful hall in the world.”
***
Joo Dong-hoon was quite busy.
It’s not that I’m busy because I have something to do, but there are just so many people looking for me.
Archangels, apostles, and countless other transcendent beings and giants who willingly participated in the war.
There’s even Shadow Shepard, whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
Since they were all men who had served in the war, they responded to the call and had a light chat.
That wasn’t all.
Many races that he had briefly encountered in the spirit world or in the league also rushed to find Ju Dong-Hoon.
Is it the desire to meet a celebrity?
Well, it could be a token of gratitude.
Because they all showed up carrying something in their hands.
But, we never met.
I’m so busy, and if I try to deal with them all one by one, it’ll never end.
– Go back.
Hurrruk!
It was much more comfortable thanks to the sun spear that protected the lord by spewing out hot salt.
Whenever possible, I consulted with Kim Jin-ah about space missions.
“Ha, Gilma.”
“I feel like I’m going to die. I think I was the busiest during the war, but why do I feel busier now that the war is over?”
“Is it because I’m overworked, or is it because I’m under a work curse… … Why do I always have to be busy!”
Every time I visit, he’s gulping down beer and whining.
But, there’s nothing I can do.
She is the one I trust the most right now, and she is also the best at this type of work.
You have to work a little harder.
“anyway!”
Kim Jin-ah said clearly.
“I’ve decided to keep all the promises I made last time. In order to completely guarantee the freedom of all members of the universe, those who wish to do so will be granted independence! The League will be abolished, and even the currency like essence will be abolished! After that, eat well and live well as you see fit! That’s it! Isn’t it neat?”
“It’s neat.”
This was enough.
There is no need for Joo Dong-hoon or Kim Jin-ah to step forward and do something.
We did our job by just catching that vicious, gluttonous creature.
The rest is up to the survivors.
“and!”
Boom!
Kim Jin-ah slammed the table with her eyes sparkling.
“I can’t stand it like this.”
“Suddenly? What?”
Joo Dong-hoon tilted his head.
“Aren’t you tired, Gilma?”
Are you tired?
I’m tired… … .
Well, the current situation felt unfamiliar.
If you’ve been running forward without looking back until now, are you now in a daze after achieving everything?
So isn’t that why you keep looking for work?
“I don’t know.”
“That’s workaholism, addiction. From what I’ve seen, even Gilma is tired. She needs a break. Has Gilma ever lived entirely for herself?”
“… … for me.”
In fact, becoming world number one was all for me.
Because it was a goal I set and a driving force in my life.
But after joining the league?
It was a life of just being dragged around.
To protect someone, to protect myself, I moved more fiercely.
The problem is that it is not voluntary but unintentional.
In order to live a happy life, I had to kill and eliminate those gluttonous guys anyway.
‘however.’
It’s a bit strange.
I feel like there’s an empty space in my heart.
‘Now I… … .’
What should I do for a living?
He has already become the strongest in the world, no, the strongest in the universe.
Getting stronger here?
There is no reason for that to happen, and it may happen.
“Look at that, look at that.”
Kim Jin-ah clicked her tongue.
“It seems like Gilma-nim can’t enjoy life properly. Haa, it’s my fault. I’ve become such a brat that I’ve neglected Gilma-nim like this.”
“What do you want to say?”
“… … .”
Kim Jin-ah was silent for a moment.
Gulp, I swallowed my saliva.
Soon he opened his mouth again.
“Anyway, let’s wrap things up here and I’m going to take a short break from work. There are so many geniuses in this universe, you can just pick any one and have them do it for you, right?”
“… … That’s a good idea.”
Joo Dong-hoon nodded seriously.
Bugilma had a hard time.
I dare say that in terms of hardship, he is the only one who can compare to me.
She was well entitled to rest whenever she wanted.
“Get some rest. You’ve had a hard time.”
“That’s it?”
It’s a voice that sounds a little regretful.
Joo Dong-hoon tilted his head.
“sure?”
“No, what are you going to do, Gilma?”
“… … I don’t know. Hmm, maybe I should swing my sword some more? Or maybe I should teach Bae Ji-min some more? In theory, if I keep going over the wall of magic, I’ll test whether I can defeat a god. That would be quite fun.”
“No, what.”
Kim Jin-ah made a bewildered expression.
“Gilma, what kind of training did you do to make that head?”
“There’s nothing in particular to do.”
“No, why is there nothing to do?”
“yes?”
“That won’t work. This is also a big responsibility as a Gilma. I need a special prescription for Gilma who can’t figure out what to do.”
“… … ?”
“How vast is this universe, how wide is the world! Of course, don’t you feel like going around and looking around?”
“Go on a trip?”
“bingo!”
Taaak!
Kim Jin-ah snapped her fingers and laughed.
“Exactly ten years.”
And then I got straight to the point and said what I wanted to say.
to be honest.
Even though it was voluntary, you’ve worked hard supporting Gilma-nim up until now, so shouldn’t you receive a reward for your hard work?
Of course, all the talk about special prescriptions is just an excuse.
Kim Jin-ah just wanted to rest now.
Not alone.
With Joo Dong-hoon.
“Come travel with me for 10 years.”
The most fun wing trip of Kim Jin-ah’s life!
This time, I wanted to see, feel, and experience it for myself, rather than just through the wings.
“call?”
Compared to how bold it had been, the last voice trembled slightly and cautiously.
Joo Dong-hoon, who had been thinking about it for quite some time, also nodded slowly.
Many complex thoughts were intertwined, but the result was one.
It’s quite moving.
“call.”
Let’s go on a trip for a while.
