Episode 249. Milestone.
Imperator, facing Verdin, froze.
He obviously flew to the top right after defeating Bergin, so how could he get here before him? Moreover, Dean knows that when he is in the upper level of the tower, he has just entered the lower level.
‘There is only one answer.’
Jin, who he defeated, and Dean, who followed him, became one and turned into a complete form.
The owner of the tower formerly called ‘Bor’ and the creator of all apostles who reigned as the god of this world.
“Could it be that you were waiting for me to come here?”
Imperator lowered his momentum and asked a question.
Dean, whose body was surrounded by purple energy, answered.
“Yes, because this moment is a moment I have been preparing for a long time.”
“You’re saying you already knew this was going to happen.”
“Then why did you just watch it happen like this? Until I point the sword of hatred at you.”
Dean answered with a benevolent expression.
“Because that’s what I wanted too.”
“Unlike the apostles created by my hands, you who have demon blood will not be satisfied no matter what I give you. Even if my past self paints a picture of this world being destroyed like you. No, even if you succeed in doing that, you deny that your intentions were different from yours.”
“Bor, the owner of the tower who led both light and darkness in the past. “You demons think that even his will is different from what he does.”
Imperator nodded briefly as if acknowledging it.
“So to punish me. “Are you saying you’ve been waiting for this moment?”
“… If you want to hear the answer. Come to the top of the tower.”
After saying these words, Verdin disappeared behind the giant. As the purple light from his body disappeared, the golden light emitted by the giant illuminated the surroundings.
Isn’t this perhaps intended to make those who use magical power feel their limits?
Thinking so, Imperator approached the giant, emitting darkness so intense that the surroundings were distorted.
“I am different.”
‘The reason why light cannot overcome darkness. It’s simply because those who use darkness are weak.’
Darkness is never weaker than light.
I will personally prove it to the gods of this world.
Imperator attacked Nort, who used the power of light with all his might.
Even if the fist of a giant once called a god smashes his armor and shatters it.
He got up again and cut off the giant’s hand.
Even if the intense light emanating from Nort’s mouth pushes away the darkness and melts the limbs.
Enduring the pain, he penetrated the light and stabbed Nort in the eye.
Go straight down the back.
The giant’s two ankles were cut off.
“We, the demons, will no longer live as slaves to those who call you gods!!”
Imperator screamed.
Even though he was completely devastated, he did not stop and attacked Noord.
Cut off the arms and legs of the already fallen giant, rendering it unable to move. Both of his eyes were stabbed, rendering him blind.
Darkness cannot overcome light.
As if to disprove this, he succeeded in defeating God with the power of demons.
Then, Imperator, who won the battle, led his exhausted body to the top of the tower.
Although he was already exhausted and knew that he had no strength to deal with Verdin, he wanted to prove that his path was not wrong.
I arrived after crossing Nort, who was once called the god of this world.
A place that only Borman, known as the owner of the tower, could reach.
Imperator, who stepped into the place, slowly looked around and showed a dejected expression, as if he had encountered a different place than he expected.
‘What is this?’
I heard that there is something at the top of the tower that could become Bor’s legacy and god.
Why is it that all I can see at the summit before my eyes is a floor filled with white bricks and a landscape of this world that is no different from the one seen from the top of the World Tree?
Saint Maria Theresa is singing in the center of the tower with a nonchalant expression. She is a human being, but for what reason is she here?
Verdin, who reached the top of the tower first, looked in the direction of the World Tree, then turned his gaze to look at the Imperator and said.
“Good job, Imperator. “I have truly surpassed the gods of this world and reached where I am.”
“… Where is Bor’s legacy?”
“Come next to me, and let me show you.”
Imperator approached Dean’s side without letting down his guard.
No, to be precise, he prepared a turning blow towards the owner of the tower, who had returned to his complete form.
‘Even if the legacy doesn’t exist. If I defeat that guy, I will become the god of this world.’
After all, both Skult and Urt, who can change the future and past, are in my hands.
‘Even if there is no Verdandi that can fix the present.’
I can create the world I want.
‘If only that guy disappeared.’
Imperator approached Verdin with those thoughts.
However, his pledge ended in a very meaningless action.
As he tightened his hand to swing the sword, Verdin’s sword first stopped in front of his neck.
“Don’t think nonsense. Now this body has reached the state of being called the sword god. “It’s even better than Bor’s body, which was called the owner of the tower in the past.”
“Even if I don’t have this body again, Verdin is not someone you can defeat.”
“I can’t believe God praises humans so much.”
“I am not God. “He was just the owner of the tower.”
“Then what do the apostles who follow you become?”
“So I made a plan to destroy them all. No, my plan has already gone as planned. All so-called apostles have disappeared.

Imperator shook his head.
“Am I not staying?”
“That’s right, you, Gregory, and Deadlord remain in this world. “These three have to go all the way with me.”
“It’s over?”
“okay… . “You will always be needed by my side.”
Verdin withdrew his sword and lifted his index finger in the air, and Imperator flew in as if being pulled by something and stood right next to him.
“Look at the scenery here now. “It’s amazing how amazing the results of my knowledge and power, spread across the continent, are.”
“The giants and dragons that ruled the continent even before I came to this world. “I have waited a long time for this moment so that humanity can rise up against them.”
“Through the world, I created a being named Bae Hu-ryeong. “Leave knowledge to future generations so that humans can reach the level of being called ‘gods.’”
Imperator slowly looked at the view from the top of the tower, and then seemed to understand what he was saying and asked a question.
“Could it be that this moment is the legacy Bor leaves behind?”
“Yes, the human limit reached by someone named Verdin. “I have been waiting for this time when mankind will reach the state of godhood.”
“… “You’re speaking as if Dean isn’t who you are.”
“Not now. It may look the same on the outside… .”
Dean, or rather Bor, said no more about this.
Just change the topic of conversation with a kind smile.
“It would be a shame not to become a god. “You must have endured a long time in silence.”
Imperator let out a hollow laugh and sat down in his place.
“What happens to me now?”
“You are coming with me to a new world.”
“I plan to go to a place where you and I can both be called gods.”
“… “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“We don’t know now. “But I know the Skult and Urt that are in your body right now.”
“Skult and Urtga?”
“Yes, this was actually planned not only by me but also by Scult and Urt.”
“Ordin may not have known, but the two goddesses who were with him actually accompanied him to keep their promise to me. She pretended to be caught by him and changed the future and past of the tower in the direction she promised me.”
Imperator tilted his head with an absurd expression.
“Could it be that Ordin was also born for this moment?”
“under… . If I knew you were this scary. “I wouldn’t have even thought about taking the plunge.”
“So, did you have fun walking the path I created so far?”
“Yes, the only thing I regret is that I did not become a god.”
“Then shall we make you a god?”
“Are you serious?”
“I told you a moment ago. “You and I will go to a place where we can both be called gods.”
“There, we will all live equal lives. “Everyone can become a god, regardless of whether they are humans, demons, or dragons.”
“… “Where is it?”
Bor answered with a wide smile.
“Perhaps it was a long time ago. Do you know about the spirit song that was passed down among humans before I arrived in this world?”
“Spirit’s song?”
“Yes, it is a special spell that is only used when they are in a truly critical situation. It has an ability so dangerous that it is considered taboo even among them. “It’s also a completely different form of power than what I use.”
“I’ve heard of the being, but I don’t know exactly what power it has.”
“I guess so, because it took me a long time to find out about this too.”
Bor, who was talking, turned his gaze and saw Maria Theresa singing.
“Your name is too long, so I’d like to shorten it to ‘Thor.’ “That way, others will be able to sing it easily.”
“Yes, and make sure you don’t forget me.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I won’t forget you-”
At the same time that Imperator was about to answer, Theresa jumped up from her seat.
“Dean, please don’t forget me too.”
Bor answered with a wide smile, making eye contact with her.
“Because I will never, ever forget. “Go first and wait.”
At the end of this conversation, an intense flash of purple light fell on the top of the tower.
At the same time, the tower collapsed and light spread out in all directions, illuminating the entire continent.
Deep caves untouched by humans, deep seas untouched by the sun, and even the top of the World Tree, which is higher than anywhere else.
‘… I hope I can definitely end things with him next time.’
Don’t wait for the day we meet again.
The top floor of Strange Castle, bathed in warm sunlight.
Verdandi, with beautifully tied hair, smiled brightly as she looked at the two babies lying on the small bed.
“Ururururu, peekaboo!”
One of the babies, seeing her smile, clenched his fist and hit the baby next to him.
“Dean! “You can’t hit your little brother!”
The child who was hit cried and fell into Verdandi’s arms.
“Ugh!”
“Oh my gosh, Jin. If you get hit too, don’t cry and pay it back right away. If my father had seen it, he would have been disappointed. “What do you do after being born as a Strange man?”
As she changed the pitch of her voice as if she was acting, Lois, who was standing quietly behind her, cleared her throat and took the gin.
“Hmm, Verdandi. “No matter how much I value chivalry, I would never say such things to a newborn baby.”
“exactly? “If I had known that was the case, I wouldn’t have said that to Jin.”
“… “Do not copy me.”
“I understand.”
When the nanny, who was listening to their conversation, couldn’t hold back her laughter and twitched the corner of her mouth, Lois shook her head and walked to the window.
“Berdandi, how did you know that there were two children in your stomach?”
“I heard. No, I saw it.”
“You saw it?”
“Yes, you may find it hard to believe. “I saw it through a dream.”
“The baby in your stomach?”
“no. “This is what it looks like now.”
“What does it look like?”
Verdandi looked at Dean’s face, thought deeply, and then smiled as brightly as a flower.
“That’s right, I saw my family having such a happy time. “Through a dream so long that I don’t know when I will wake up.”
Lois let out a long sigh and answered, lightly stroking Jin’s crying face.
“Are you kidding?”
“You must be sincere.”
“Hehe, I don’t know what’s inside you.”
“… “Anyway, I heard that an engineer came from the Pope’s Office last night.”
“Ah, it is said that the Pope blessed and sent the swords he received from the Emperor for Dean and Jin.”
Verdandi tilted his head.
“For Dean and Jean?”
“Perhaps they are trying to use our power to keep Glazer in check. “I plan to give you an answer through the knight who visited the castle this time.”
“I’m planning to meet him for dinner tonight, so let’s watch it together with the kids.”
“Okay, what is the driver’s name? “I think I need to know in advance to avoid being rude.”
He frowned as if he couldn’t remember Lois, but then nodded slightly as if the knight’s name came to mind.
“Thor.”
“Thor?”
“… Thor de Rothschild. “I heard he’s from Alfheim, just like you.”
