Episode 531
Skills ‘Ataraxia’ and ‘Memorize’.
Thanks to Taehyun’s skills, old memories flooded in without hesitation.
In the fast-flowing memories.
‘Something is wrong.’
I realized that the flow of time was more twisted than I thought.
Race war.
The battle before my eyes clearly resembles the one in my memory.
The radiant Elyos of the Upper World were invading the Lower World like a flood.
At the opposite point, there existed the Great Duke and the Absolute.
A hundred Absolutes and only nine Grand Dukes.
If the nine great dukes had not been those who signed a contract with Taehyeon, they would have thought this was just a memory from some time ago.
The army of bloody magic clung to the Valkyries and was facing a violent end.
The demons that filled the sky were flowing with dark blue and purple magic.
Igmun and Gilfer.
Their armies are united to block the Elyos.
At the center were two great dukes who could not be defeated by many absolute figures.
It’s not just them.
Orgal and Typhon united to take control of the land, and Jormungand and Rosaria united to take control of the Demon Sea.
Hazard’s dragons and Lucifer’s descendants.
The most powerful species that did not fit together were scattered and hunting down a few absolute beings.
The Fairy King, who assimilated with the Divine Beast, provided infinite magical power.
The divine power of the prey that came into contact with the blood field and the blood sword dried up.
The status of the Elyos who entered purgatory deteriorated.
The Giant King, who boasts a strong body, threw the Absolute that he had grabbed, and the Demon Beast King jumped up and tore it to shreds.
Those who touched the swirling demonic sea were overcome by madness and self-destructed, and their huge spirit and breath were unleashed.
The gray magic power that dominated the red sky refused to regenerate those who were not allowed to do so.
The spiritually controlled Elyos aimed at the Absolute One, and the branch of the Divine Tree swung like a whip.
One Grand Duke has at least five Absolutes tied up.
There was a big difference from Taehyun’s last memory.
‘Have you regained your strength?’
That’s when I thought about it.
[The contractor must be unfamiliar with that appearance.]
‘…!!’
I turned around at the sudden sound of a voice.
Personal space.
There was Rosaria, borrowing the appearance of Yoo Ah-young.
[Don’t worry. Outside, Hazard is buying time.]
Even so, Odin’s main body may come over because there is not much time.
[A thousand years. This is the passage of time that the contractor saw a moment ago.]
‘….’
[It’s not that surprising. I only roughly showed the important things. The invasion began shortly after the contractor crossed over to Middle Earth.]
She continued to explain the memories Taehyun had seen.
[At first, it was an insignificant invasion.]
Since the princes were in a state of despair, the families of each realm dealt with them.
[It was a kind of search war. And I figured it out quickly. [There is a problem with the princes who do not come to the forefront.]
Seizing the opportunity, the Absolutes reported abnormal signs in the lower world to the heavenly masters, and a meeting was convened for a full-scale tribal war.
The invasion of the lower world started from the upper world.
Originally, Taehyeon, the winner of the turf war, had the authority to command.
The princes prepared for a tribal war that would begin without a contract.
[Igmun. That guy and Orgal had the most shit. However, after hearing the reason for planting a divine tree in Middle-earth, I obeyed.]
Middle-earth is a place that can become a variable in a racial war.
It turned out to be impossible to create a large supply right away, but considering that time flows differently in the Lower World and the Middle World, it was only a matter of time.
‘It would have been great if I had found a piece of Noname.’
To achieve this, the process that must be preceded is the integration of Middle-Earth and surveillance from a trustworthy person.
This was the ultimate reason to connect Middle Earth with the Lower World by planting a divine tree.
Rosaria continued.
[Interestingly, the tribal war did not start right away. Those stubborn guys can only move if all 10 heavenly masters agree.]
They recognized that there was a problem in the lower world.
If the masters of the ten heavenly realms allow it, a tribal war can begin at any time.
However, it didn’t start.
It wasn’t difficult to guess why.
[okay. One of the heavenly masters ultimately did not allow a race war.]
This is information obtained through mind control of a captured Absolute, so it is certain to be true.
she declared.
[Surprisingly, the guy called Heavenly Master who opposed it in the end….]
‘Michael.’
[…As expected, there was a reason why the contractor could feel his divine power.]

‘I met him briefly while crossing over to Middle Earth.’
It told me about the restrictions imprinted on the status window.
[It’s a fascinating case, but let’s talk about it first.]
The memories that were playing were rewound, showing the fallen archdukes.
[Whatever the intention, Ha-gye bought time.]
Surprisingly.
[The Grand Dukes decided to join forces as much as possible until the contractor returned.]
‘….’
Considering the arrogant nature of the Grand Dukes, it was difficult to imagine.
[It was a boring way to spend time. The Elven who was assimilated with the Divine Beast recovered first, recovering Lucifer and Gilfer, and the two used their power to pull the Archdukes out of ruin.] A Fairy
King who uses the power of ‘anti-magic power.’
A fallen angel who uses the power of ‘regeneration’.
A demon king who uses the power of ‘evolution’.
Their combination was expected, though.
[It took 900 years for all the great dukes to escape the catastrophe.]
In the distant years, even Taehyeon fell into a deep sleep.
[The Elven said so. As soon as the contractor moved to Middle Earth, ‘his’ magic weakened. It was as if he had been waiting.] It is said that
time was turned upside down due to that effect.
[It may have been only a moment for the contractee, but for us it was a time of suffering.]
‘Then what about the current tribal war?’
[Fortunately, Michael’s unexpected behavior bought enough time. Indeed, he is the master of the first heaven. Because the masters of the 9 heavenly realms were trying to persuade him, no proper effort was put into it.] [
Hmm…. His face tells me something.]
‘No, let’s listen until the end and then judge.’
The First Heaven Realm did not participate in the race war until the end.
900 years.
The nine heavenly realms, tired of persuasion, broke the rules and moved.
Around that time, the underworld’s magic weakened and the nine princes began to regain their memories of the past.
Contrary to expectations, the Absolutes of Heaven, who entered the war late, were not able to conquer the Underworld as easily.
A tight battle.
A boring war of attrition.
There was a time when a heavenly master who overexerted himself and visited the lower world almost disappeared, and there were also times when several of the great dukes were on the verge of extinction.
What is certain is that during the 100 years of not being able to win a match of any kind, the Grand Dukes went beyond simply recovering from the fall and began to achieve new achievements.
[And not long ago. The Elven detected the presence of the contractor.]
A huge tentacle wrapped around the contractor.
[They say your magical power can be felt in the divine beast that appeared in the Middle World.]
It was only a brief homecoming for Taehyeon, but 1,000 years have passed in the Underworld.
[You must have suffered in a depressed state.]
A benevolent hand stroked my head.
We can tell because she also scanned the memories while showing them.
What did you feel and why did you hesitate to make the choice?
[You are right.]
‘….’
[Seeing as time is being mixed up like this, this is the last time you can stay in Middle-earth.]
Even if you win the race war.
When I come back, a considerable amount of time will have passed.
It may be 10 years, or it may be 100 years.
‘Maybe 1,000 years have passed.’
Unlike himself, who has surpassed the mortal realm, the lives of others are not long.
‘Is this what it felt like?’
King of the underworld.
The loneliness he must have felt was real.
Even though I had given up on completely assimilating with Shinsu, I hoped that the flow of time would not be distorted.
This is what ended up happening.
[Now you have to choose. Yoo Ah-young. I can feel how much the owner of this body cares for you. If the contractor wishes…]
‘No. The answer was fixed anyway.’
Cooung.
Personal space was shaken.
[this. Looks like other guys are starting to come over. Hazard will have a hard time alone.]
‘Send him outside again.’
[There won’t be much time if we go outside.]
He said he would buy time for himself and Hazard to return as safely as possible.
‘no.’
Taehyun shook his head.
If we ever meet again anyway.
It is not right to be seen running away.
Just like the Grand Dukes of the Underworld did.
‘This is the way to hunt.’
* * *
Asisat Ebi.
A woman who was a contractor for the Dragon Lord, but was reduced to a spare when Hazard signed a contract with Taehyeon.
She, who was pouring out seven words of courage, suddenly frowned.
“…Is it the 9th Heaven Realm?”
There was only so much time to be gained against the guys from the 7th Heavenly Realm, but the Elyos from the 9th Heavenly Realm were coming over.
They are ordinary people now, but soon the absolute will come over.
I looked around.
Taehyun and Yoo Ah-young stood still.
Odin was constantly throwing out his holy spear, but the seven mettles were protecting them from attack.
It was a possible battle because both were not in normal condition.
at that time.
The eyes of those who had been waiting were opened.
“It’s later than I thought.”
“Ah, I see you held up well too.”
Hazard and Rosaria.
The two women who had been together for a long time nodded their heads.
“Taehyun… How on earth did this happen…”
Excluding Yoo Ah-young, he is the highest ranked player.
Ji Jin-hee approached and asked with difficulty.
“I’m sorry, Chairman of the Association.”
I don’t have time.
He said it would be difficult to say hello properly.
Tiring.
[Omen of skill evolution (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Gilfer’s power ‘Evolution’.
Dark blue magical energy enveloped Taehyun’s body.
[The awakening grade is changed to SS.]
[Skill grade is changed to SS.] [
The omen of skill evolution (SS) has been strengthened.] [
The awakening grade is changed to SSS.]
[Skill grade is changed to SSS. [It becomes possible.]
The power of existence, which had been downgraded, has risen sharply.
Taehyun reached out to Tolkien, who was unconscious.
The power of regeneration resided in the dwarf’s body.
[The massive presence is suppressed.]
[The countdown accelerates.]
Given the current speed.
‘Maybe about 5 minutes… Well, the seed was planted.’
Yoo Ah-young has the magic power of a succubus queen. For Ji Jin-hee, the magic power of the Demon Beast King.
Kwon Kang-hyuk has the magic power of a giant king. For Lim A-young, the magic of Jormungand.
Park Seong-jin was imprinted with Igmun’s magic, and Kwak Si-yang was imprinted with the Elven’s magic.
Kwasik.
Many tentacles blocked the huge holy spear that pierced the spirit.
“…contractor.”
“Hold on.”
Taehyun assimilated with Shinsoo, who had grown to the size of a building.
Tiring.
[A great power awakens.]
[Awakening level changes to ???]
[Skill level changes to ???]
[Coughing….]
The dwarf’s face frowned at the sudden pain.
[Brother…brother…?]
“Please, Tolkien.”
[…?]
“My brother should do the finishing touches.”
I ignored the face that seemed to be asking what I was talking about and opened my magic.
The countdown, which was supposed to be 5 minutes, became 1 minute.
Tiring.
[Skill Memorize (???) has been activated.]
[Specify the target.]
New Korea players were touched by dark red magical power.
The encroaching fear quickly dissipated.
40 seconds.
Taehyun stood next to Yoo Ah-young and Asisat Ebi.
“Odin isn’t his real body anyway. There’s no need to overdo it.”
“I came to say hello first.”
Taehyun stretched out his index finger and pointed at Odin.
30 seconds.
“You have to be clear about your answer.”
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (???) has been activated.]
[Specifies multiple targets.]
Oh my. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
A vicious maw appeared above Odin and the Valkyries.
Multiple maws formed one gigantic maw.
20 seconds.
“I’ll go to the upper world to find you, so just wait.”
Kwaduk!!
The Elyos who filled the sky were torn apart.
How overwhelming is that power?
Odin, who had been swallowed up by his brilliance, let out an inexplicable curse.
“If this is indeed the power….”
“It would be worth seeing the expressions on the other guys’ faces.”
Hazard and Rosaria opened the gate.
This is not an ordinary gate leading to the Abyss.
The destination is the deepest level.
A place where tribal war is in full swing.
10 seconds.
“Kim Tae-hyun….”
“What the hell is this…?”
Yoo Ah-young and Asisat Ebi, who regained consciousness, did not understand what was happening.
5 seconds.
“Let’s meet again sometime when we get a chance.”
Looking at the players who were looking at them with shocked expressions.
1 second.
Taehyun crossed the gate without any regrets.
