Episode 270
Radiant Universe (1)
The heavenly world and the demonic world were completely organized thanks to Jeongdo’s actions.
In fact, there have been no reports of monsters such as angels or demons appearing anywhere on Earth. There will no longer be any more Elyos or Demons setting foot on Earth.
bang!
“Is there a degree? Oh, there it is. I’m bored! “Give me the dungeon!”
“… … .”
To correct what I said earlier, there was only one demon still on Earth. Pressing both temples due to a growing headache, I spoke to the uninvited guest.
“Master. Didn’t you clear an SS-level dungeon two days ago? “And that too alone.”
“hmm. I think it was like that? Hey, what’s so important about the date? “Are you not going to eat today just because you ate two days ago?”
“What kind of nonsense is that? … under.”
You shouldn’t talk.
Jeong Do grabbed the cup of water on the desk and drank it down. The cool, refreshing feeling that hit my chest made me feel a little relieved.
After calming down his stomach, Jeong-do put down his water cup and spoke to Cheok Jun-kyung with a serious expression.
“Just because you want to save a dungeon doesn’t mean it will be saved. Especially high-level dungeons.”
“Where is that? That’s about it. One of the truths that I have realized over the years of living is that money can make ghosts. “You have a lot of money.”
In response to Cheok Jun-gyeong’s counterargument, Jeong-do once again drank cold water in silence. However, this time it was not because I was frustrated, but because I had nothing to say.
Yes. With his current wealth and status, finding one or two dungeons was no problem.
Anyway, it was difficult to conquer a high-level dungeon above SS level, and it was a waste of money to close it. If you and Triple S decide to attack such a dungeon, the association or the government will probably welcome you with open arms.
Isn’t this an opportunity to keep the security in check and get the dungeon-clearing taxes in line with the taxes?
Of course, Jeongdo and Triple S were given special treatment among special treatment, so they were almost tax-free. Anyway, even the small amount of tax was very generous, and saving money on dungeon closing costs was a very profitable business.
In other words, it was clear that the government would arrange for a high-level dungeon if Jeongdo requested it.
‘It’s annoying.’
Lately, I’ve been feeling it for sure that the president, the government, or high-ranking people in the association are trying to secure a position with me in some way.
Even though I’ve rejected them all, isn’t it human psychology that if you continue to receive convenience like this, you’ll feel a bit sorry for rejecting them outright?
Well, actually, it wouldn’t have mattered if I just put a metal plate on my face and ignored it all. She says she hates me, what should I do?
“under. I’ll see if there are any remaining dungeons. But, Master.”
The extent of the topic was subtly changed by roughly matching the rhythm to Cheok Jun-kyung’s flock.
“Is there anything wrong with your body?”
“doesn’t exist. On the contrary, I feel exhausted because I have too much energy. “Then I guess I’ll have to play around with you until I find the dungeon.”
bang!
Cheok Jun-kyung, the only demon on Earth, stormed out of Do-do’s office as if he had completed his business. Do-do chuckled at the sight and leaned back in his chair. He settled down in a soft chair and recalled the time he saw Cheok Jun-gyeong not long ago.
* * * * * *
Not long after Winry left the room, Seoyoon came.
She was the one who nursed the fainted patient in the demon world, and it seemed like Winry came by while she was away for a while. (Seeing as Seoyoon perceives the time she was away as ‘a short while’, it appears that Winry used her time freeze.)
After telling Seo-yoon that I was okay now and leaving the house, the first thing I did was go to Cheok Jun-kyung. Because she had to confirm with her own eyes the strange sound that she had become a demon god.
Cheok Jun-kyung, whom I met at the guild house, was as usual. The appearance of an ordinary human without any horns or wings that symbolize demons. When he saw that Jeong-do was fine, he grinned and suggested that they spar, but for Jeong-do, understanding his condition was more important than sparring.
“Master. You said you drank it? “What happened?”
“ok? Have you heard it already? Well, it’s not a big deal, but after you fainted, something suddenly jumped out of his corpse and stuck to me. “With nothing to do, I was melting inside my body and I was seriously contemplating whether or not I should cut open my stomach. Suddenly, some old guys came to me in droves and told me I was a demon.”
“… So? “How did you do it?”
“What can I do? I beat them all up and beat them up. And since I wasn’t interested in that kind of thing, I told you guys to figure it out on your own and came back. There is nothing wrong with my body. how is it? Nothing special, right?”
It’s a shame there’s nothing special about it.
Jeong Do sighed and looked at Cheok Jun-kyung carefully. At least on the outside he seemed energetic, as if he was bragging.
But you don’t know what’s going on inside.
The ‘strange thing’ that was attached to Cheok Jun-kyung’s body was probably the demon spirit that Winry had mentioned, and there was a need to confirm how exactly it worked on Cheok Jun-kyung.
Jeong Do used the <Void> skill on Cheok Jun-gyeong.
Tiring.
With a notification sound, the information on Cheok Jun-kyung was spread out, and Jeong-do carefully looked through the information.
And I was shocked.
In Cheok Jun-kyung’s talent column, a new talent that had never been seen before was created.
<Rage-lv.3>.
A new talent engraved right after <Cheonmujiche>. It was <anger>, one of the seven sins.
Not only that, but the overall status, including level, was all messed up. It has now surpassed the white level and is at a level that would not be inferior to the god level.
It was not a rise through leveling up after defeating the Demon God. This far exceeds the number that can be increased by leveling up.
In other words, it is the intervention of other factors. It must be Mahon.
“… … .”
So, the story is that if you absorb the Demon Soul, you will be given a criminal-level talent that will boost your abilities and give you a plus… … You crazy space bastard. Don’t you manage balance?
“Yes, that’s right. balance.”
Common sense tells us that there was no way such a munchkin item would not have side effects.
With great power comes a great price, and a contract with the devil requires sacrificing one’s soul.
reasonable doubt.
I, no, the universe will not approve of me eating this nonsense.
You will inevitably find side effects.
This is not because of a stomachache, but rather the heart of a disciple concerned about his teacher’s condition.
Jeong Do opened his eyes wide.
No matter how closely you hide, you will never be able to avoid <Void>. Jeong Do carefully looked at Cheok Jun-kyung’s information window again from the beginning.

twice.
And three times.
The degree has been concluded.
“… … “There isn’t any?”
“huh? What does that mean all of a sudden? “What’s missing?”
“It’s just not there. “There are no side effects and there are no surprises.”
“… … Are you still sick? “What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”
Cheok Jun-gyeong was worried about the student who was making incomprehensible noises, but unfortunately, he could not reach the person concerned. I asked Cheok Jun-gyeong with the feeling that Jeongdo was the last resort.
“Did you feel any pain when that strange thing was absorbed into your body? “It feels like my body is collapsing.”
“huh? Well, it hurt, but it wasn’t unbearable? “The pain went away quickly.”
“All right. Congratulations.”
“congrats? “What are you celebrating all of a sudden?”
“Congratulations on my day.”
To some extent, I felt like I was about to cry.
Some people have to cough up blood, put a gag in their mouth, and use evil force to get a talent, while others just get stung. f*ck, space. Is this a country?
“after.”
Let’s calm down.
Our allies gained enormous power without much risk. It will definitely be of great help. When viewed objectively, this is a very good situation.
And didn’t he get a considerable reward from Winry? When I thought about it like that, I felt a little envious. Just a little.
“Do you feel that anything has changed?”
“I don’t think there is anything in particular. Ah, I’ve been like that before, but lately I’ve been itching a little more. “It would be nice to have someone who can fight coolly.”
“Is it unbearable?”
“uh? No, no. It just feels a little stuffy. “If you spar or teach other kids, you’ll get better quickly.”
“Hmm.”
If you really think about it, is this a side effect?
Cheok Jun-gyeong became <Demon God> and had <Cheonmujiche> and <Wrath> as talents. In terms of belligerence, it is probably one of the best in the universe.
However, the state of Cheokjungyeong is very noble. It would be safe to say that there is never a case where one cannot control one’s emotions and runs wild. The slight increase in his belligerence was not a big penalty for him.
“Then why don’t you spar with me?”
“what? really? “Every time I asked him to do something, he avoided it by making excuses and excuses. Why?”
“I need to physically check what I gained from the demon world. And I have to check Master’s condition with my own eyes.”
The information window said there was nothing wrong, but I still felt like I could be reassured by seeing it with my own eyes. In times like this, there is nothing better than sparring.
and.
‘We must show the flying insects that justice is alive.’
Implementation of justice.
Jeong-do decided that he would punish that conscienceless person. Jeongdo headed to the sparring hall with more motivation than ever.
After a while.
Jeong-do, who did not use the rod, was hit by Cheok Jun-gyeong and ended up with a large body.
There was no justice in this land. Shit, it’s space. Is this a country?
* * * * * *
Jeongdo carried out the guild’s duties while turning his sights to the world. He was trying to find none other than Karma’s whereabouts.
However, the results were minimal.
All terrorist organizations and religions commonly known as karma organizations have already disappeared or been disbanded. It was a typical tail cutting.
Fortunately, a terrorist attack occurred in South America, but the security there was so bad that it was difficult to confirm that it was the work of those terrorists.
Thorough diving.
Others who didn’t know much about the situation said that karma was now completely gone, but they could definitely say that it wasn’t to that extent. They were clearly aiming for something else to gain strength.
‘It’s difficult.’
Karma itself wasn’t scary at all.
Karma’s elite executives are only (?) SS-level users. That was also a very high evaluation.
To be honest, it would be difficult for a user of that level to inflict even a single injury on himself no matter how many people attacked him.
Well, I don’t know if there was a being like Karma who had a balance breaker-level miracle from the beginning and went from universe to universe to level up, but that was an assumption that didn’t make sense. The miracle of the beginning is not even the name of someone’s dog.
What Jeongdo was wary of was not karma, but something connected to karma.
The leader of the veiled bastards and something connected to the leader, perhaps from the ‘real universe’.
‘difficult.’
I had a vague idea of what their purpose was, but I had no idea how they were going to achieve that goal.
Are you going to hack a US military base and drop a nuke?
Or is it that they cause dungeon breaks all over the world simultaneously?
Winry only said that she could not provide information about karma for reasons of balance. She deserves to be able to demonstrate her flexibility in matters that may depend on the fate of the ‘real universe’, but if it is characteristic of her to be unnecessarily stubborn in such areas, then she is characteristic of her.
‘I can’t help it.’
I have no choice but to try to get a little more clues… … .
Jijijijik.
“huh?”
It was then.
As I was lost in thought, a dungeon crack appeared next to me. It was also a very familiar crack. Jeongdo scratched his chin and stood up.
“No, we haven’t even finished investigating the Skurakto warehouse yet. “What’s so urgent?”
I thought that with such a huge treasure, it would be quiet for a while. It seemed like those curious dwarves still had something they wanted.
“Anyway, it turned out well.”
I also had a favor to ask. It’s difficult to process with your own hands… … Ah, maybe this item made the dwarves impatient.
Jeongdo infused mana into the crack and immediately moved to the dwarves’ dungeon.
And a warm welcome from the dwarves followed.
The dwarves waiting at the entrance began shouting at each other.
“this guy. Calm too! “Once they’ve sorted out what the demon world is, they’ll come to us right away. Why are you holding back so much!”
“You really are a bad guy. “Knowing how long we are waiting.”
“We have already become unable to live without you. “If you created a body like this, you have to take full responsibility!”
“yeah. yeah. “I did everything wrong.”
I looked at them while listening to the dwarves’ nonsense that I had become accustomed to by now. A total of six dwarves welcomed him like a puppy meeting its owner… … No, wait, six people?
“Why six people? hmm… … “Can’t you see Mikhail?”
“Oh, that guy? It’s no big deal. “I’m just overworked so I’m just taking a break.”
“Overworked?”
“That guy is in charge of time manipulation, right? “As we continued to expand time while investigating the Greedy Dragon’s warehouse, he stretched out.”
“Wow, Mr.”
These munchkin dwarves.
What kind of time manipulation is White level? Isn’t that something that only Winry can use? It was a very coveted ability.
“Can’t you learn that time manipulation thing?”
“Wake up from your dream. If we could learn, we would have learned it a long time ago. “It’s like his constitution.”
“Yes, calm down. It’s better to stop worrying about what you can’t do and focus on what you can do. “No one can know everything.”
“… … uh?”
Jis may have just said something in passing, but it had a special meaning to Jeong Do.
‘No one can know everything.’
Yes.
Even though it was the miracle of the beginning, it was impossible to know everything and prepare in advance. I still don’t know what karma and the unknown enemy are preparing.
But it’s the same for them too. They can’t even dream of what they are preparing for.
Jeongdo picked up an item from the inventory and showed it to the dwarves.
“Now, this is what you want, right?”
And this thing will be the best weapon that can never be guessed and will cut off their fate.
I was certain that much.
In his wide open palm was the ‘Fragment of the Beginning’ recovered from the Demon God.
