#280
280. Mission Type, Conquest (6)
Bang!
When I opened my eyes, I felt a stabbing pain in my head.
“…”
I was lying face down on the floor.
After awakening my blurred reason, I put my arms on the ground and slowly straightened my body.
A cold chill like a winter wind wrapped around his body.
brought back memories
It was in the middle of the 80th floor mission.
Headquarters intervened to sanction the main boss of Taoneer, the prince, and at that moment, as if Praios had waited, he wielded the dimensional sword and caused a change.
‘Did you mean this from the beginning?’
If he had the will to fight us, it wouldn’t have gone this way.
Manipulating the state of the field in advance and betraying the transcendence species.
And even to attracting the forces of the head office. It seems that everything was calculated.
First, I checked my body condition.
Fortunately, there were no major injuries. Bifrost was also hanging from her waist.
Even if the enemy jumped out right now, he could fight.
‘… … This is it.’
I looked around.
An unfamiliar sight unfolded before my eyes.
A pitch-black space. It is as if a large piece of drawing paper has been painted over with black crayons. I was standing with my feet on a place with no end in sight.
It was like a dream, and there was no sense of reality.
[Dimension 0000 – ???]
A hologram message came to mind.
0000 dimension.
Look at the letters written on the screen,
I knew where this place was.
1 server.
Or, a place close to it.
‘I didn’t expect it to come like this.’
I took a slow deep breath.
To keep your cool no matter what happens.
Tboob.
The clear sound of shoes echoed.
sereung. As he drew his sword, he headed towards the source of the sound.
Standing there was Freea, staring at me with blank eyes.
“……one.”
“Where are you hurt?”
“does not exist.”
“Come to me. This is not a safe place.”
Freea nodded and walked towards me.
An uneasy feeling could be seen in his golden eyes.
“This is… where the hell is it?”
“well.”
I clicked my tongue.
To describe this place, only one word comes to mind.
‘universe.’
However, this is not a normal state.
In the darkness, the occasional glimpses of stars were locked in shadows.
like dead.
“It looks like the departure was successful.”
I pointed my sword towards the sound.
A man walked out of the tent.
A young man wearing a silver robe and a relaxed smile.
It was the prince of the empire, Prios all Ragnar. Originally, he was wrapped in red bandages all over his body, but now he maintained the normal appearance seen at the promotion ceremony on the 4th floor.
I checked the situation once more with my sword pointed.
I can’t get in touch with Halgion. Zena, Belquist, and other heroes were nowhere to be seen.
There are only three people here. Just me, Freea, and that guy.
“Didn’t you say you were tired of fighting? I’m not here to fight you guys. Bring down the sword.”
The prince laughed softly.
I snorted.
“Is a guy who is tired of doing this?”
“If we stayed there, either you or I would surely die. We’d end up playing on Tell’s palm.”
I couldn’t deny that.
The mission won’t end until the heroes are wiped out or the boss dies.
Even so, that guy is very suspicious.
“We’re running out of time. We somehow ripped through the wall, but soon we’ll bounce out. We’ll have to finish it in there.”

“What are you finishing?”
Prios opened his mouth.
“This is a place called the boundary.”
“…”
“It is the end of Mobius, a multi-dimensional universe, and a wall facing another universe.”
Prios looked up.
There, the darkness stretched infinitely.
“It’s where the game’s main server is located, and it’s also where it all started.”
“Main server?”
“I know that you call this world a ‘game’. You are the ‘hero’ that belongs to the master, and I am the ‘monster’ that is his opponent. Freea is a neutral NPC. All three of us are just toys. Is it okay?”
Prios laughed.
I replayed his explanation in my head.
“This is server 1.”
“Among them, it’s the core area.”
The prince turned his back.
And started walking slowly.
“Follow me. I have something to show you.”
The guy’s face went away.
‘I didn’t expect this situation.’
I bit my lip.
I already knew that he was different from an ordinary monster.
But like this… … you break the rules
“Shouldn’t I go?”
Freya looked at me and whispered.
“I want to know too. The reason why my brother has changed like that.”
There would be an uproar on the part of the company.
It wasn’t enough that a single monster escaped the field and accessed the core data of the game.
Even while hundreds of thousands of viewers are watching.
If its purpose was to f*ck the game, it was half-successful.
“one.”
Freya called me.
I sighed deeply and moved my feet.
“Okay, okay.”
Staying here doesn’t change anything.
I followed the prince with Freea.
“Fria.”
The prince spoke without stopping.
“……yes.”
“Do you know that the universe we belong to, Mobius, is made up of countless dimensions overlapping?”
“Didn’t His Highness tell you when you were young?”
“You remember it well. We Taonier are only a tiny part of the universe. Then…
The prince stopped.
“If 100 million dimensions were to perish at the same time, what would be the cause?”
“It is… an invasion by an unknown enemy…”
“Why did they invade Mobius?”
Freea’s expression hardened.
The prince continued his explanation in a low voice.
“To achieve my purpose, I didn’t have to come this far.
“You mean fate?”
Freea looked away.
Up and down, right and left.
An endless darkness coiled around.
In the middle, blurry gray dots shimmered.
“A life that was born will someday return to nothing. From a single blade of grass, a human being, to the sea, the sky, the stars and the universe at a larger scale.”
The prince walked and stopped once again.
And looked up with distant eyes.
“Our hometown, Moebius… has reached the end of its lifespan.”
“That’s… what the heck are you talking about…”
The prince looked back at me.
“Han, you would understand.”
“Is it entropy?”
“That’s what they call it on Earth.”
I had heard of it at first glance.
Entropy is a term from thermodynamics.
All energy in the universe is ‘unconditionally lost’ in the conversion process.
“So, did you bring up the Earth?”
“Thank you for reminding me.”
I still remember.
The image of the guy sitting on the throne and turning the globe.
“Of course, it will take billions of years for the place you belonged to to perish. But not here.”
“…”
“Do you understand now? What Tell did? What the price was… Do you know?”
The prince lowered his sword.
Quaching! The intangible walls that surrounded us were shattered.
beyond,
[Chaos Fragment Lv.113] X 256831813409136598134813409… … .
[Fragment of Despair Lv.108] X 349105668989696991491249134… … .

It’s not over.

I couldn’t perceive it with my eyes.
Outside the cosmic void, infinity wriggled.
“They call themselves ‘harvesters’. They come from a higher dimension farther than us. Their goal is…”
“Returning Möbius to its original flow?”
clap.
Prios put the sword into the scabbard.
As if it had happened at some point, the fragments and crystals surrounding the boundary disappeared.
No, is it just invisible?
“Fria. When you were eight years old, I gave you a little puppy. But he didn’t last a month. Do you remember what you said then?”
“I said I wanted to bring it back…”
“Do you think that’s the right thing to do?”
Freea didn’t answer.
He just shook his head with a confused face.
“I don’t think it will be easy to accept. Even I needed a lot of time. Think about it slowly.”
I bit my lip.
‘Is the life of the universe over?’
The entropy left in Mobius is 0.
The light of all galaxies and stars has been extinguished, and the universe has become a dump filled with emptiness.
You mean Tell forced it back?
“If Moebius’s current manager hadn’t been the twin goddesses, the ending might have been different.”
I closed my eyes tightly. I got a headache from too much information.
In it, someone’s figure came to mind.
‘There is no hope in this world.’
Siris muttered with empty eyes.
Did that guy know about this?
If so, can you explain.
The reason why Yunet’s attitude suddenly changed.
The reason why Siris is trying to force me out.
“Tell’s purpose is…”
“Were you thinking of trivial reasons like invading Earth or gaining power? The twin goddesses who govern Moebius, Tell and Ikar, have the nicknames of innocence and kindness, respectively. “
Prios laughed bitterly and moved on.
Fria stumbled after him.
‘It’s confusing.’
Mobile games were actually a world that actually existed.
The purpose of the game was to restore the destroyed universe, and the reason the universe was destroyed was because its lifespan was over. The logic is overreaching. It was hard information for me, a normal human being, to accept.
‘I was making predictions.’
that would be difficult to accept.
But this… … .
‘The fate of the universe?’
Ha, I laughed out loud.
As far as survival games are good, this is it.
But, is the scale too big? too much to bear.
I pressed my temples hard.
Let’s calm down, nothing is over.
The 80th floor was in the process of being completed, and personnel from the head office would probably arrive soon.
Anything there will happen.
If you don’t regain your cool, you’ll get caught up in the situation.
I clenched my fist until my bones were crushed. And followed the prince’s back.
‘Unstable game server.’
It was the cause of the sharp decline in the popularity of Pick Me Up.
Sudden server crashes, repeated maintenance and various bugs.
Pick Me Up, which was famous for its pleasant operation in the early days of its opening, has been ridiculed as a synonym for bugs.
‘It all leads to one.’
I stopped.
At the edge of the field, someone was standing.
It was neither prios nor priasis.
“… … .」
The girl was wearing a plain white suit.
Black hair down to her waist.
He was looking ahead with empty eyes.
‘Resembles.’
with someone i know
It wasn’t to the extent of resemblance, but to the extent that I could believe it was him.
However, the girl does not show any vitality.
An atmosphere reminiscent of a wax figure.
“This girl is Ikar, Tell’s sister.”
“…”
“Pick Me Up’s server computer.”
The girl didn’t even respond to the prince’s voice.
just looking ahead
The prince smiled bitterly.
“Its lifespan is short.”
