Episode 246. Milestone.
After finishing my work in the royal capital, I returned straight to the Legion. To see the end of the long journey we have walked so far.
Of course, no one knew this except me.
Berzindo aims for the top to become the owner of the tower again. Ordindo dreams of revolt against his father who gave birth to her. And Rox and Theresia who arrived at the Legion with me.
Rox looked at the red-hot exterior wall of the tower and scratched his head.
“Why is it like that?”
“Ordin must have been trying to stop Nort.”
“… “I heard magic doesn’t work on that giant?”
“It was the last struggle. “There was no way to stop him, so I tried everything.”
If the door to the top of the tower opens now, the person who will be most in danger is Ordin himself.
In order to become a being called a true god, he must one day reach the top of the tower.
He may have tried to take a slightly different path than the way I prepared, but since we came out like this, he also had no choice but to try to go to the top.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
Then everything will go according to my plan.
‘Bergin and I are trying to reach the top of the tower first. Ordin’s clash to stop him.’
If I open the way to the top, a dispute will definitely arise between the two.
‘If so… .’
I looked up at the top of the tower for a while and saw that the clouds covering the sky had moved and the moonlight was coming down.
“Verdin. But the moon was close to a crescent until yesterday, so how can it change into a round shape like a full moon in just one day?”
“It hasn’t changed. “It was just that the rest was obscured.”
“It was covered?”
“Yes, the light was obscured by darkness, just for a moment. “Now I have found my true self.”
“It’s possible. “If darkness is stronger than light.”
“Darkness is stronger than light?”
“Yes, because the direction of the sky we saw yesterday and the sky we are looking at today are different.”
“direction… ?”
Others may find it difficult to understand what I mean. Light and darkness are just different sides, like the front and back of a piece of paper, and who is stronger and weaker is determined simply by the visible side.
I said, lightly squeezing his shoulder.
“Have I made any promises to you that I haven’t kept?”
Rox immediately shook his head without any hesitation.
“I have never lied.”
“There was none.”
“Then what did you not want to follow my orders?”
“Is that true? If that were the case, we wouldn’t have come all the way here. If I had thought about that at all, I would have just gone back to her hometown and stayed with her mother. But why are you asking that question?”
“… To give you my final command. No, this is more of a request than an order.”
Rox looked straight into my eyes and then answered with a hearty smile.
“Tell me, I will listen.”
“You haven’t even heard what it is?”
“Okay, I don’t know what you want, but if it’s your plan anyway, it won’t be a bad thing.”
“That won’t happen.”
“How can we be sure?”
“I trust you. “The Verdin I have seen with my own eyes is that kind of man.”
A smile formed on my face as I listened to his answer.
In some ways, our relationship was so bad that it could even be called a bad relationship. Now, our trust in each other has become stronger than that of family.
“If you make it complicated, they won’t understand, so keep it simple.”
“Rox, I need you to die.”
“… “To die?”
Rox hesitated for a moment as if embarrassed, then shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“How can I die?”
As expected, the answer is even more amazing than I expected. Still, I thought there would be some denial about death.
‘I can’t believe you agreed so quickly and tried to follow my orders.’
I answered by placing my palm over his heart.
“Just close your eyes and lie still. “With my sword and Theresia’s power, I will only rip out your soul without damaging your body.”
“Only the soul?”
“Yes, I am planning to use Bae Hu-ryeong, whom you are currently controlling, for a while. “I will bring you back to life when the job is over, so don’t worry about death.”
“Is it possible.”
“oh… ? “That sounds fun!”
No, it’s not fun at all.
While I was about to answer, I simply stroked Rox’s head.
“Let’s get it done as quickly as possible.”
“huh! But why do you want to use my Bae Hu-ryeong?”
“To control Noord.”
“Why that giant? “I’ve already reached the top.”
“There is work to be done at the top. “Because you can’t do it with just the power of the corpse you control now-”
I continued speaking while showing the Emperor Bae Hu-ryeong from behind my back.
“It’s about combining two forces. As you know, my body is heterogeneous right now. “I’m trying to use two Bae Hu-ryeong characters at the same time.”
A muscular, middle-aged giant with long, messy hair and a short beard.
He truly had the appearance of a being called a ‘god’ in the Pope’s Office, and had auras so vast that they could never be surpassed by human power.

His brightness was like the sun, so much so that you could go blind just by looking at it.
Rox, facing my new Bae Hu-ryeong, knelt down without realizing it.
“W-what is that?”
“… “It is God.”
“god?”
“Yeah, probably.”
Although the act of calling him God with my own mouth is really funny. Because in this world, it’s not wrong.
“That’s amazing, then where is Siegfried?”
What should I answer?
I don’t know if he is gone or exists somewhere else. Therefore, all I could say was abstract stories.
“Heaven.”
“Heaven?”
“Okay, I went where I needed to go.”
It’s not a lie.
Since he is already dead, he would have gone to the world or the spirit world.
Theresa, who was far away, put her hands together and began to pray.
Obviously, she was blind and couldn’t see, so how did she feel that Bae Hu-ryeong’s power was divine?
I didn’t ask about him.
He simply pointed his sword at Rox while gesturing for him to fly towards Bae Hu-ryeong, who was emitting brilliant light.
“Rox, let’s begin.”
The golden giant flew up the tower and reached the top in an instant. I thought this was so high that I couldn’t even tell the end, but it seems it wasn’t that difficult with Bae Hu-ryeong’s strength.
This is something that an ordinary Bae Hu-ryeong or an apostle could never do. As soon as you enter the upper layer of the tower, your soul will melt, or you will not be able to withstand the pressure from the top of the tower and will be thrown out.
This is one of the devices I created in the past to prevent other life forms from invading.
The name Bor is not the past me, it is just a memory of me, so it would be wrong to express it as ‘me’.
It is only correct to say that the owner of the memories I have created them.
‘Well, this isn’t important.’
With my eyes closed, I saw Nort’s gaze. He had arrived at the top of the tower and was crouching on a piece of metal that looked like a flower bud.
The top of the tower, located in the same position as the top of the World Tree, had no choice but to adopt that posture in order to avoid being blown away by the strong wind blowing there.
Now let’s end this.
My Bae Hu-ryeong, who has now ascended to the top of the tower, is a past god with the same name as the current emperor of this continent.
‘Loki.’
Bae Hu-ryeong, with a face full of anger, flew quickly and slowly seeped into Nort’s body.
At the same time, a golden aura bubbled out from Nort’s head.
The force was so strong that the surrounding space split apart, and through the cracks, souls writhing in pain could be seen in the world.
-Kurrrrr!
You must have at least this level of strength to reach the top. In the past, Bor was a device created with that in mind.
If you reach that place with considerable force, something irreversible will happen.
Because in this world, there is no crime more sinful than a monarch having no power. To the point where I wish I hadn’t sat there.
Quack, quack, quack!
Nort began tearing off the top of the tower, which was closed like a flower bud. It was something that no living creature currently existing could have accomplished.
Not just me, but also Ordin and Verdin.
Every time Nort plucked a flower bud, the rays of light flowing from it brightly illuminated the surroundings.
Perhaps a human body would have melted or ceased to exist just by brushing against it.
I know the identity of that power.
Because that light is the reason Vergin wants to go to the top.
When Nort tore off half of the flower bud, the light emanating from the top became so intense that he could not even keep his eyes open.
I just gave the command without sharing the giant’s gaze.
‘Tear off all the buds of the tower that had been hiding the power of God.’
Destroy the door inside to open the way to the top. Then, the will of Bor, the owner of the tower, and its consequences will come to this world.
After giving all orders, I headed to the tower with Theresia, following the milestones I had set.
‘I kept my promise, Vergin.’
Now climb to the top of the tower yourself.
Two moons rose above the tower.
At the same time, Vergin and Ordin collided at the upper level of the tower. They left behind the numerous events and accidents they had planned to do to get to the top and talked while focusing on their current feelings.
“Now you are neither the owner of the tower nor my father. “I’m just one of the apostles doing God’s will!”
Ordin’s spear, filled with intense light, and Vergin’s sword, filled with endless darkness, collided to create a storm.
“Do not deny existence. “Aren’t you also an apostle made with my blood?”
“no. “The person now called Vergin has the blood of a different human than me.”
“We have the same soul.”
“But that doesn’t mean he can be our creator. Isn’t that body ultimately a creation created by the tower? “I just have a fragment of my father’s memory!”
Ordin’s spear thundered through the storm.
Lightning fell on Bergin’s head.
However, as the light flashed, black smoke gathered around him, covering his body and blocking it.
The power of the two was close.
It’s hard to come to a conclusion about who is stronger or weaker. However, the end of this confrontation was determined.
If there is a beginning, there is an end.
And since the outcome of this fight was ultimately determined by time, Ordin, who had the ability to change the future and past, had the advantage.
“I’ll leave the joke here.”
As Ordin raised his spear high above his head, the knights of God he led spread their white wings and flew up to block Vergin’s path.
“I will go to the top of the tower first. “Bergin, a puppet who inherited your father’s will.”
