Episode 210
“I dare say that it depends on Your Majesty’s will whether he remains an Irregular or becomes a new ascendant.”
[Valentine] never once said that he would attack Jin Shihou.
I just said I wanted to meet you.
I wanted to have a conversation.
Talen’s words fulfilled everything about [Valentine].
“You speak so nicely. Should I give you a reward?”
“… … Just being here with Your Majesty is the greatest honor for me.”
“Is that so?”
[Valentine] stood up from his seat.
Behind her, thousands of elves were dead.
A huge pool of blood had formed, but [Valentine] didn’t even glance at it.
“Talena.”
“yes.”
“I like your idea. Give it a try.”
“… … Your name-!”
The first of the ascendants to move was the ascendant of Jangcheon, [Valentine].

Iron Buck.
I walked through a puddle of blood.
Blood was flowing out of the broken Cheonha Sword. I immediately pulled the sword out.
Thud thud, it’s pouring.
I looked around.
There was not a single person alive.
I looked at the pig for a moment as it picked up a corpse and began crunching and chewing on it.
I used to eat meat a lot, but I didn’t know people could eat it that well. I’m telling you for sure, that’s not a snack.
It’s lunch. It’s around lunch time, so lunch.
I walked slowly.
I entered the exhibition hall.
Star #299 is in the same condition as star #875, which we visited a while ago.
Even the interior of glass walls is ultimately air-permeable.
All the products on display were dead on the spot. They were really diverse.
Our sisters from another star, Hong Hyun, Han Jeong-ah, and Cha Ju-yeon.
And also several people I saw on the way.
There were even some of our Lee Baek-goes who went to Titan together.
Probably not the people I know. They must all be from different stars.
What should I say?
Should I say that my heart aches?
Or should I say, I feel seriously dirty.
There are too many things that bother me.
There’s a lot to clean up, and a lot to kill.
I think it needs to be revised or something, and the editors need to be beaten up a lot.
what’s this.
You’re using people with the same name and face as your slaves, so don’t worry about them because they’re from another star?
I’m not joking around.
Other constellations seem to just accept this and live their lives ignoring it.
I can’t do that.
It is right to let the dead rest in peace.
Resurrecting dead bodies and turning them into toys?
It’s cheap even if you kill him.
I have no regrets.
I killed those who were meant to be killed.
Since ancient times, it has been said that a man should never look back on something once he has started it.
That aside.
“Where is the ledger?”
I looked at the King of Paradise, who was writhing in the corner of the exhibition hall.
The mask he was wearing was broken and his limbs were twisted.
Blood was gushing out ceaselessly from a fist-sized hole in his abdomen.
At first glance, it was obvious that it wasn’t normal.
“… … You crazy kid. Do you know what you just did?”
He answered while slamming the broken Cheonha Sword into the floor.
“I know.”
“No, you don’t know. That’s why you’re acting like that now.”
“I see.”
He took out a cigarette from the subspace and lit it.
The king of paradise shouted at me as if possessed by evil.
“You have crossed the line! You have crossed a line that even the ascended have not crossed!”
therefore.

“What line?”
“… … You killed the constellations indiscriminately. Not only the constellations that continuously used Paradise, but also the constellations that came briefly out of curiosity, and all the living beings living on this planet. You have now made an irreversible mistake.”
For some time now, the King of our paradise has been speaking his mind in a clear voice.
The reflection of light was clear.
I just squatted down in front of him.
“So, where are the ledgers?”
“… … You crazy bastard! What have you heard so far!”
“I heard it all. Listening to the left, flowing to the right. Do you know what I mean?”
“… … You are not in your right mind.”
“No. I’m very lucid now, so your worries are for naught.”
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like he didn’t understand the meaning of my actions.
So I’m going to explain it to you kindly.
He grabbed the King of Paradise by the hair with his left hand.
“Usually when a new king is appointed, various changes occur in the country.”
“Ugh… … .”
“I’m not the type of person who explains everything in detail and convinces people one by one. My brother has already set the rules. Casino? Go-Stop? Money games? Play them all. It doesn’t matter. But don’t be a slave.”
“… … This idiot! Whether it’s a capitalist world or a socialist world, slaves will exist in one way or another… … .”
“I know, this world is ultimately a class system. There are rulers and ruled. In a way, it’s no different from slavery. But strictly speaking, it’s different. There’s a difference between being clearly labeled a slave and not being one.”
I have no intention of calling myself an apostle of justice or a revolutionary force or anything like that.
I hate slavery.
It’s not that I hated them since I was little. I just saw too many slaves when I lived on Titan.
I didn’t say anything, but there was a time when a chain was put around my neck.
Although he did cut off the heads of the nobles, including the slave traders, it is not a good memory.
“You reject the rules I just made? Then what am I going to do? I’ll just kill you all.”
“… … Are you willing to risk turning all the constellations into enemies?”
Haha, I burst out laughing.
“Shouldn’t it be the opposite?”
“……what?”
“I shouldn’t be looking out for them, they should be looking out for me. It’s not like you guys are anything special, and this is the third time I’m asking, where are the ledgers?”
“… … I have no account books to give you.”
“You’re bothering me. I’ll look into it myself.”
After throwing away the cigarette butt, he waved his hand.
The pig behind him approaches.
“Eat it. Don’t leave a single bone behind.”
He just turned around.
The pig approached the King of Paradise. Then came the sounds of screams of pain and the crunching, crunching, crunching sounds of flesh and bones being devoured whole.
That’s what I thought.
The subspace was opened as it was.
The only beings alive on this planet right now are me and the pig.
But it’s a bit weird for me to go around looking for the ledger. There are some.
someday.
There was a man who gave me this ‘necklace’.
What was the name?
Was it Ikiyan Bagrud?
The moment I first met Helena of Star #2403, the boss of that deep sea gate handed me this necklace and said this.
‘It’ll be a great help later on when I need to do chores like this.’
I injected mana into the necklace.
This is where I was first surprised.
The energy going in is considerable.
The response comes immediately.
Kuuung.
Along with a strange sound, the blood in the surrounding area began to rise up all at once.
They soon took the form of armored soldiers, numbering roughly a thousand.
“… … What on earth did you give me?”
Soon, thousands of blood-made soldiers rushed toward me all at once.
Oh, the temperature is perfect.
It was divided into exactly three units, and there was one soldier in front of each unit who was presumed to be the commander.
Roughly counting the numbers, there are 1,200 soldiers and 3 commanders.
All together it’s 1,203.
I didn’t know about this until now, but it’s a pretty good artifact.
Even on Titan, this is rare.
“Well, let’s start with the titles. Based on the guy on the left, you have a big head, so you’re called Head. You’re red because you’re particularly red. You’re thin, so you’re called Anchovy.”
The three commanders fell to their knees on the spot.
But prostrating myself silently felt a bit weird.
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
Three people hit the ground with their fists.
thud.
I guess he can’t speak.
“I’ll cut to the chase and give you the order first. Head, you take the kids and strip the bodies of all their clothes, organize everything that could be of value, and gather it all in one place. Red, you go and collect all the artifacts in these buildings. And Anchovy, I have high expectations for you. Go and get the ledger.”
The three commanders again hit the ground with their fists.
Boom!
This was the answer.
“Go and see.”
The soldiers moved in unison.
I just sat down in my seat.
I didn’t show it, but my body wasn’t normal.
[Plati] was stronger than I thought, and I had to use up all my capital.
Although I’ve recovered, I’m not back to 100%, so I feel a bit of overload every time I use my strength.
hmm.
We still have to catch and slaughter the remaining seven, but it looks like it’ll be a tougher journey than we thought.
It stayed like that for a while.
One by one, corpses were being arranged on one side, and pigs were chewing and eating them all.
On the other side, artifacts are piled up like a mountain.
About 30 minutes had passed.
The anchovy that had been moving towards the broken building approached me and handed me a thick wad of paper.
I took a quick look at the contents.
It makes me laugh.
“good job.”
The accounts are correct.
I covered the wad of paper again and looked around.
Hiya.
“How many of these are there?”
I’m not the type of person to talk to myself often, but this is a bit of an exception.
The corpses in front of me were being chewed by pigs, so let’s put that aside, the number of artifacts I’ve collected from paradise.
“Ugh… … .”
It was such a large number that I was scared to even count them.
It is no exaggeration to say that they were piled up like a mountain.
Roughly, a thousand? I don’t know. I think it’s more than that.
Among them, only the moving stones were taken out and organized.
He rested his chin on his hand.
Just looking at the numbers roughly written down, they ranged from star #2 to #2403.
What was a bit interesting was this.
There is no number higher than 2403 among the moving stones.
I clearly heard back then that there was a star after 2403, and that the story of that star was still going on… … .
‘Can’t go yet? Should I interpret it that way?’
No.
To be more precise, we should assume that the being who created this moving stone did not release any moving stones after #2403.
This is the key.
Who on earth makes moving stones?
I should have asked Hong Hyeon-han of Hancheon.
I just thought about it up to here.
First, I swept all the artifacts into the subspace.
To be honest, I was worried whether they would all fit, but fortunately, they all did.
I opened the ledger.
I see a lot of familiar names.
Among them, I focused on just one name.
Jin Song-i.
Beneath it, the names of stars were written densely.
It was also divided by grade.
They are not all my older sisters that I know, but Jinsongis from other stars.
If I hadn’t come back from Titan.
If my sister had lost.
Maybe our real sister was written in this ledger right now.
Covered the ledger.
Star #900.
This is my destination.
