654. Episode 654
I didn’t bother to refute Mammon’s words.
As she said, Se-un was like a lost child here.
I didn’t even know how to move on a place where there was no floor to set my feet on… I was in a state that was more like a newborn baby than a young child.
“Most of what’s here is conceptual. Rather than walking with your body, try to come up with a concept of movement here.”
“Concept?”
“Do not fish wave their fins, and do not beasts jump on all fours? It is up to you how you move.”
Se-Woon, who had been frowning when his body didn’t move even though he moved his feet, closed his eyes and recalled the concept as Mamon had said.
Moving through concepts.
It was a difficult thing to understand, but Se-un had been exposed to various concepts while using the numerous treasures that Mamon possessed.
“Phew… … .”
“It will be difficult at first. I will wait patiently for you… … .”
“I think I know.”
Seun took one step forward in space.
My feet, which had been waving wildly as if struggling in water, confidently moved forward, leading my body forward.
Not only that. It moved its body as if it was on the ground, and then it spread its wings and started to fly.
This is space.
Even though there was no air, Seun was flying properly. This must be the conceptualization that Mamon was talking about.
‘Because I was breathing in a place where there wasn’t even air to begin with.’
Wouldn’t it have been easy to conceptualize this even without Mamon?
Of course, thanks to her, I didn’t waste time struggling.
“Huh, there’s no point in teaching.”
“I would have been frustrated if I couldn’t keep up.”
“I wish I had followed along half as much as you did when you learned the prophecy. Come along. If you are late, I will leave you behind.”
Mammon started flapping his wings.
A speed so incredible that it disappears in an instant right before your eyes.
Se-woon quickly flapped his wings as well, knowing that he couldn’t lose her here even though he didn’t know where she was going.
‘A strange feeling.’
Even though it’s flying so fast, you can’t feel any wind pressure.
With the wind no longer blocking my path, I was able to gain speed faster and faster.
Faster, faster.
As I flew like that, I was soon able to catch up with Mamon’s speed.
“Can you see the stars?”
“yes.”
“All of those stars can be called constellations. They can be said to be symbols that embody the accumulated stories and ranks of the constellations.”
“… … Then, do I have my own star?”
“Oh, I see. You should look at your star first. Don’t expect much. The newly rising star is nothing to look at.”
The short flight continued like that.
He said he was going to see Seun’s star, but the flight path did not change.
As the big and small stars pass by, I wonder how many constellations there are here if they are all constellations.
“We have arrived.”
Mammon stopped flying.
What we arrived at was a place that looked like a black hole.
A vortex of darkness that sucks in not only cosmic dust but even light.
If I got a little closer, it felt like even Seun would be sucked in.
“What is?”
“It is a passage.”
“If it’s a passageway.”
“No matter how fast you fly, you can’t move in this vast space just by flapping your wings, right?”
Mammon reached out his hand towards the black hole.
Her purple divinity flowed out and seeped into the black hole, dyeing the entire black hole purple.
“Follow me.”
I followed her into the black hole.
Although I was a little anxious, I had no reason not to follow her since she took the lead.
Soon after, the surrounding scenery completely changed, along with a faint, familiar feeling of dizziness.
“It is the star of luggage.”
The entire universe on the right side was tinged with a faint purple color.
At the center of the light is a giant planet.
The earth was dyed purple, but it was gilded and sparkling with light.
Above all, a familiar building was built at the center of the planet.
“… … Manmajeon.”
“That’s right. Do you know what the stars around you are?”
Se-woon looked around.
Stars that revolve around a planet or float slightly away from it.
Although they were all different in size and shape, they were all receiving light from the planet.
Se-Woon, who had been watching the stars for a while, could feel a familiar energy from the stars.
“… … Are you the Demon Lords?”
“You’re quick-witted. You could call it a kind of symbiotic relationship. They receive light from me, and I can embrace them to make the stars grow even bigger.”

Roughly speaking, isn’t it a similar concept to the ‘line’ that the drinkers have been talking about recently?
Those spinning close to the Sun would be the Demon Kings, and those further away would be the demons who have barely earned the qualifications of a constellation.
“This is how it feels. If you pour your divinity into the passage, you will be able to reach my star.”
Woof-
Instead of answering, Seun sent his divine energy towards the passage.
Then, Mamon’s divine purple color changed to a dark red.
This time, Seun took the lead and headed towards the black hole.
Finally, we arrived at the place.
“… … It’s bigger than I thought.”
As Mammon said, there was a huge planet.
A single star located in empty space with no stars visible around it.
Although it had a crimson color due to the divine power of Seun, it seemed difficult to think of it as a normal star.
“Is this what the original divinity looks like?”
“How could that be? If it were a divine star, it would be much smaller and featureless.”
Who would look at this star and think that it had just risen?
The surface was cracked and rough as if it had been dry for hundreds or thousands of years, and on top of it, unidentifiable buildings had collapsed, forming ruins.
A star that seems like it’s about to set rather than one that’s just risen.
He wondered if he had found another star, but Se-Woon instinctively knew that this was his star.
“Is this also the effect of regression? However, even if a human had experienced regression once, I wonder if this makes sense. Furthermore, even though it is faint, the energy of another constellation still remains.”
“Other constellations? What kind of energy is it?”
Se-woon asked urgently.
The energy of other constellations.
Perhaps, we can find out the identity of the constellation that the inspector spoke of.
However, Mamon shook his head at Seun’s question.
“It is not a quantity that can be inferred by anyone. Even if the slothful sleeper comes, he will not be able to figure it out.”
“… … .”
It was difficult to explain to Mamon, but he could guess why the stars were this shape.
Hundreds, thousands of regressions.
According to her words, if the stars were symbols made up of the constellations’ tales, ranks, and experiences… … Seun’s star had already been repeated so many times that it was on the verge of collapse.
Perhaps, if I fail in this life too, the star will eventually be unable to endure and will collapse?
‘That’s… … .’
As he silently looked down at his star, he was able to discover a seemingly intact building among the ruins on the star.
A building similar to a temple.
Just as I was about to go see what it was.
Chiik-
“Hmm… … .”
Mamon’s groans could be heard from behind.
Se-woon turned his head, knowing that she was not the type of person to moan over something so trivial, and he could see the black and white screen that appeared in front of her.
A screen that was probably used to watch players.
Inside that screen.
“… … I guess we need to fulfill our contract right now.”
A scene was playing out of a black liquid flowing down like a waterfall.
* * *
Gulp-
A sea made of outerwear.
Above that, Inyoung, drenched in outerwear, floats up.
Soon, his identity is revealed to be that of a deposed king, with his outer garments completely removed.
“Hehehe… … .”
A laugh escaped his lips.
“Hahahahahaha!!”
All the outerwear piled up like the sea rippled with his laughter.
The hosts locked below rose up, and the outers stagnant on the floor woke up from their long sleep.
“We’re finally ready. We’ve regained our ‘true self’!”
Kookookookook!
A tornado has formed in the outer sea.
A huge figure appeared with him.
It was clear that it was the gigantic figure that Se-un had seen in the outer realm through the wolf a while ago.
“I don’t care anymore. Those retrogrades can’t bother us anymore!”
The giant figure lifted the deposed king with its open palm.
The outer sea seen from a high place was much larger than expected. It was to the point where the outer seas Se-woon had dealt with until now felt like nothing more than a speck of dust.
And below that.
Ppachik-
A tiny crack was forming deep in the sea.
The outerwear that had been locked in the floor was constantly being beaten and beaten, and eventually the floor was cracking.
“No matter how much the bugs struggle… … .”
The waves grew stronger.
The host and outer below were also hitting the floor more roughly.
Boom, boom, woof!
A heavy noise echoed throughout the space.
And above that.
“The future that has already been decided cannot be changed.”
Kwaaaaang!!
The outer holding the deposed king struck the cracked floor with his other hand.
The outer wall rose as if it were reaching the sky, and the great force split the deep sea apart, exposing the bottom.
Finally, the fist touched the floor.
Bam!
Eventually, the cracks split and the floor collapsed.
An outer that flows into the crack in the floor with a frightening momentum as if it had been waiting for this moment.
“Revenge on those who did not support!”
“Gurrrrrrrrrr-”
The shouts of the outer ringed through the space, causing the space to collapse even further.
* * *
“How come already!”
The place where the outer garment was flowing down was none other than the tower.
The tenth shelter, the last shelter Se-un passed through, is Shanel.
The beautiful sky split apart, and through the gap, outerwear flowed down ceaselessly.
It was as if the destruction of the tower I had seen before the return was happening again.
“I have to go back quickly… … .”
In that brief moment, various thoughts passed through Se-woon’s head.
First of all, the place he was in was no longer a tower.
I couldn’t figure out how to get back to the top.
In addition, if you have become a constellation, returning to the tower itself will result in your power being reduced or your rank being lowered due to the restrictions of the system.
But, no matter what, I had to go back.
It had to be done that way to stop the outer.
at that time.
“Stop.”
Mamon grabbed Seun’s wrist.
“Are you planning on coming down here and blowing away all the momentum you’ve built up?”
“The Outer has invaded. If you don’t go now, all the ranks you’ve built up so far will be meaningless.”
“No, what you’ve accumulated isn’t just rank.”
Mamon turned on the monitor.
Under the sky where the outer garments were flowing, angels were hastily forming battle formations.
And that’s not all.
The Valhalla Guild, which had followed Seun and the dragon soldiers left behind by Kashalaccas, were all lined up to fight against Outer.
“What you need to do now is not to bow your head in haste to the immediate crisis.”
“It’s different from before. They can’t stop it alone.”
“Believe.”
“… … .”
“If you have become a constellation, you must trust your subjects. If you have become a king, you must fight together with your subjects.”
Mamon came close to Seun’s face.
Her purple eyes approached me with a sparkling look.
“You must hold your head up high and lead the battlefield to victory.”
