Episode 299
Showdown (2)
The moment their load was successfully completed, numerous notification windows began to appear in front of their eyes.
<<Command-lv.3> is activated. The bond with your allies becomes stronger. The allies’ abilities increase. The possibility of an ally resisting is greatly reduced.>

<<God of War> is activated… .>
<<Universal> is activated… .>
<<Guardian> is activated… .>
Notifications of endless talent overlap. The method that Jeong Do came up with to combat <Creeping Chaos> was simple.
If that side comes out with buffs and debuffs, this side will do the same!
<User’s talent <Extinction-lv.3> is activated. From now on, the ultimate extinction barrier <Extinction> will be activated. You can grant immortality to the target.>
I also activated <Extinction>, which was used when I loaded Qin Shi Huang last time. With this, all possible buffs and debuffs have been eliminated! Jeong Do and his companions ran towards the Deep Ones.
“Oooooh!”
“Goes!”
Quaaaang!
Thousands and dozens clashed. Normally, it would have been normal for there to not even be a fight, but the result was the exact opposite.
Is this what a pack of tigers surrounded by a pack of rats would be like?
massacre. It was truly an overwhelming massacre. Aside from the guild members, the ‘God’ level armed officers who were loaded with the level began to show off their power that was truly out of the ordinary when combined with the buff.
“under!”
“My sword. “For the king!”
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
In their hands were their weapons found in Skurakto’s treasure trove. The magic swords began to emit brilliant light.
Clarent of King Arthur.
Lancelot’s Arondite.
Gawain’s Galatin.
Galahad’s Sword of David.
Each time the magic swords held by the Knights of the Round Table were swung, the Deep Ones literally began to evaporate with a flash of light.
The same goes for the military commanders of the Three Kingdoms period. They were digging into the middle of enemy lines and proving for themselves what an enemy was. Deep Ones who came even a little closer to them had their heads broken or their bodies exploded.
Their dance was truly overwhelming, but surprisingly, they were not the most active beings here.
“Hahaha! Feel so good! “I’ll kill them all!”
“Krrr. It’s dirty, but not so bad that I can’t eat it. “I’ll eat it all!”
It was Lord Cheok and Fenrir. When they reached the upper level of Transcendent God and received the buff, the Deep Ones were unable to resist at all and began to fall one after another.
In the first clash of the war, our army wins. But the battle was just beginning. Jeongdo was busy playing with his hands.
* * * * * *
“Hello. after.”
“ha. I’m going crazy. How much of this do you have? why?”
How much time has passed? I focused on the battle so intensely that I even forgot the passage of time, but there was bound to be a limit to my concentration.
“I lost stamina and mana. No, even if you cover it up with a potion, your mental power is at an all-time low.”
There was really no end to these fish-man monsters. The quantity poured in to the extent that one wondered if there might be a construction hole at the bottom of that swamp.
The tigers became increasingly tired.
“Koooooo!”
It was that time. A Deep One appeared in the swamp, appearing to be three times larger than the existing Deep One. My heart sank as I thought that Dagon had come back, but fortunately it seemed to be just a reinforced species of the Deep Ones.
“like. “This time, there’s someone worth fighting for.”
“Master.”
“Hey, disciple. Do you know what we must do to win a war where we are so outnumbered?”
“… … “You should hit the enemy’s head.”
“Kkkkkk. Accurate. Yes, it’s best to capture the enemy leader. Well, how do you feel? “Do you think I can defeat that leader?”
“… … .”
Jeongdo shook his head. No matter how strong Cheok Jun-gyeong is, his opponent is a god from outer space. He was no match for him.
“Wow. I really want to fight that… … I can’t help it. Disciple, can you win?”
“There is a possibility.”
“good. Then you go! “I’ll take care of that big guy!”
After saying that, Cheok Jun-gyeong spread his demon wings wide and lunged at the huge Deep One. The degree looked at his back and then looked at his allies.
“Huh. omg.”
“Damn it. until when… … .”
They all look exhausted. Cheok Jun-gyeong was right. All I could do was barely hold on. He should have killed Nyala sooner.
“under!”
When Jeong Do materialized and swung Excalibur as the king of all diseases, dozens of Deep Ones were swept away and a straight path was created. Jeongdo ran straight towards that place.
* * * * * *
Finding Haejun and Nyala wasn’t difficult. He wants him too and he wants himself too. He had no reason to hide anywhere.
It was truly a blatant alien energy. After taking a short deep breath, I passed through the bushes.
“hi?”

In the wide wetlands, Kang Hae-jun greeted Jeong-do with a bright smile. His body was extremely ugly, with all parts except his face eroded. It was a very different scene from what was expected.
“… … no way?”
“oh. You’re quick-witted. is it so. It’s me~ Outer God of the Outer Universe. Nyarlathotep.”
“Tsk.”
Hearing her name pronounced correctly made Jeong Do frown with a headache. However, the fact that her voice was coming out of Kang Hae-jun’s mouth was much more serious than the headache.
“What about Kang Hae-jun?”
“iced coffee. He regretfully acknowledged his shortcomings and handed everything over to me. “The body, the ‘Miracle of the Beginning’, and even this useless egg.”
After saying that, he, or rather, she crushed the ‘soul of Jinjeong’ held in her hands. Intense soul power was absorbed into Nyala.
“… … “I stabbed you in the back.”
“Your expressions are extreme. You mean it was transferred? And in these cases, the person who gets fooled is usually the idiot.”
After saying that, she stretched out. I seemed to really like that body.
“In the first place, the idea that a child can defeat God just because he has a dangerous weapon is a delusion. Did you really think that with <Birth>, you could control me? This body, the pinnacle of Outer God? “It’s ridiculous.”
She laughed and suddenly spoke to the audience.
“In that sense, you are better. At least I understand the topic. Now that I’ve taken over the body of a bug that doesn’t know anything about this subject, I’m thinking of moving on in earnest. Hey, what do you think? “Aren’t you looking forward to the look on her face as she watches helplessly as the universe falls apart before her eyes?”
“… … .”
Jeongdo didn’t say anything in response to Nyala’s question and just glared quietly. Nyala sighed as if she felt discouraged by that level of attitude.
“What a boring guy. Well, okay. I’m getting sick of it too, so I’ll delete it quickly. “It won’t take that long.”
Nyala said and raised her hand. She opened her mouth about the moment her hand was about to go down.
“I agree.”
“huh?”
“I don’t plan on dragging it on either.”
The degree took out an item from the inventory. After obtaining <Time and Space> from Ixia, Jeong-do headed straight to the wireless world and was able to acquire an item from the past there. Because it was such a valuable item, there was no guarantee that you could obtain it through <Space>, but fortunately, you were able to obtain it!
The core of the wireless world.
A large crystal <Fragment of the Beginning> was held in Jeong Do’s hand. And the fragment was gently sucked into the palm of the hand, as if it had been Jeong-do’s body from the beginning.
I feel it.
A miraculous energy preparing for the birth of a fetus inside the body.
As in the wireless world, the miracle fragment was waiting for some action.
The miracle of the beginning <communication>.
Jeongdo used <Communication-lv.4> and <Fragment of the Beginning> without hesitation.
Beep beep beep.
A loud warning sound struck Jeongdo’s ears.
<The communication level becomes 5. This is a concept that does not exist.>
<Warning. The body may collapse.>
<Miracle of the Beginning <Communication-lv.5> is activated. All existing talents will temporarily become level 4.>
“Keuuuuuuuuu!”
There was terrible pain, but I could bear it. Not yet. It didn’t end here. Jeongdo took out a potion from his inventory.
It was the best elixir for an agent who trained a designated talent to the limit.
<<Communication-lv.5> mastery increases to the limit.>
<You can temporarily make one specified talent to level 5.>
“Whoa.”
Was it an instinct engraved in the body?
As soon as I heard the notification, I reflexively loaded the wire. And he made <Kangun> to level 5.
<Everything in the world works to the benefit of the user. It transcends all laws and rules.>
<Not affected by Creeping Chaos.>
<If the opponent’s <Strong Luck> is lower than yours, the opponent’s <Strong Luck> is absorbed.>
There is only one thing left to do.
Jeong Do executed the <draw>.
Paaaaat!
The sky split and a business card fell. No, can you call that a business card? I was certain to that extent. The falling business card was very small, but it contained everything in the universe.
That business card seeped into Jeong Do’s mind.
Tiring.
<Name: Jinjeongdo>
<Level: 999+>
[Status]
<Strength: 999+ Stamina: 999+ Reflexes: 999+ Mana Sensitivity: 999+>
[Talent]
<<Space-lv.3>>
[skill]
<<Dissuade you from returning home>>
Even Nyarlathotep’s seal was pierced and an agent descended on his body.
“under.”
It’s information I’ve been wanting to see for a long time, but I finally got to see it. Jeongdo chuckled. Her abilities were very simple. She was difficult to approach at the same time.
The degree changed the King of All Diseases into a sword. It was not a particularly special legendary sword, but a common sword that focused only on ‘hardness’.
<Warning. The King of All Illnesses (Jin) cannot handle the power of the loaded being. The effect <Never Breaks> is deleted.>
<When attacking, there is a very high probability that the Panacea King will be damaged.>
is it.
Well, I had a guess. No matter how great the Dwarves were, they were not capable of handling the power of the Agent.
Still, it was okay.
Just once.
Jeongdo was confident that he would win if he could only swing once.
<Mr. Jeongdo. Your body is not yet capable of withstanding its own strength… .>
“yes. All right. “Let’s finish it quickly.”
“… … Does that sound interesting? “Maybe I looked funny?”
“You are looking at me so ridiculously.”
Jeong Do raised his sword above his head.
“The miraculous power of the beginning.”
<Due to the talent’s extreme will, <Communication-lv.5> is activated to the limit.>
<The status of all beings in this space is gradually added to the user’s status.>
<Warning. There are beings from different universes with different affiliations. Status cannot be absorbed.>
<<Communication-lv.5> ignores the rules of the universe. You can also absorb the status of beings in outer space.>
“Haaa.”
“Now, wait… … .”
By the time Nyala sensed something was wrong, it was already too late.
Let’s draw the sword straight down.
Everything split apart.
<Creeping Chaos> as well.
The world too.
Laws too.
and… … A believer in outer space.
“ah.”
As the sword strike passed Nyala, she stared blankly at her hands. And she gently put her hand to her own forehead.
“No way… … .”
Puhaaagh!
From the crown of the head to the tailbone.
Nyarlathotep, precisely cut in half, fell to the ground with a thud.
It was the end of the battle.
* * * * * *
– epilogue –
The terrible enemy known as Nyarlathotep has been defeated, and peace has finally come.
The Earth was still reeling from the erosion of <Creeping Chaos>, but it was recovering quickly. It was because the two agents were rolling around like crazy.
“after. “It’s almost over now.”
And the degree is also going crazy. I couldn’t even stand up from my desk because of the backlog of paperwork.
At least the urgent things are now over, so I can take a breather… … .
smart.
“hmm?”
“brother. “It’s me.”
“Oh yeah. come in.”
As Jeong-do said that, Seo-yoon carefully opened the door and came in.
“What happened? Oh, sit down first. “I’ll make you coffee.”
“no. are you okay. brother. “I came here to see if there was anything I could do to help.”
“The urgent matter is almost over. “Let’s just talk for a bit and then go.”
Come to think of it, it’s been a really long time since we talked alone like this. It’s been a month since the final battle, but it was because I was so busy.
“What about the others?”
“Most people have recovered.”
“I’m glad. “Are you okay?”
“yes. “I wasn’t greatly influenced by the <Saint Woman> talent to begin with.”
<Creeping Chaos> did not cause direct damage to opponents below a certain level, but it had the effect of amplifying a person’s negative emotions. Because of this, after the battle, all guild members suffered from aftereffects for several days.
The only ones who were okay were himself, Seoyoon, and Cheok Jun-kyung.
“What about Haesik?”
“Haesik has now fully recovered. Moreover, he seems to be taking Hae-joon’s work calmly.”
“I’m glad. That guy. I thought I would be depressed for a long time because I was so depressed. “Anyway, what about Ellie?”
“… … I think Ellie still needs some more nursing care. “But she doesn’t have seizures like she did the first time.”
And the one who suffered the most severe aftereffects was Ellie McDowell. She had been in <Crawling Chaos> for a long time, and the fact that Hae-joon had died left a huge scar on her psyche.
At first, he refused all food, saying he was going to die, but recently he was showing a positive response.
“Yeah, that’s a relief.”
“But why on earth did they keep Mr. Ellie alive?”
“… … That’s it. You never know. Anyway, it went well, right?”
Not only Seo-yoon but also the rest of the guild members do not know that the black man is Hae-joon of the ‘real universe’. This was not revealed for the sake of the guild members’ mentality, especially Hae-sik’s.
The reason he kept Ellie alive is probably… … .
“after. “It’s refreshing.”
Jeong-do took a sip of cold water and glanced at Seo-yoon.
Long straight hair like ebony. Thick eyelashes. With her delicate features and flawless skin, people naturally said, ‘She is indeed a beauty.’
Seo-yoon wiggled her fingers and glanced at Jeong-do, and their eyes met. She pursed her lips and then opened her mouth, as if she had made up her mind.
“Hey, over there. brother.”
“huh?”
“Dad says he wants to see you sometime.”
“huh? Brother? Well, we haven’t been in touch much for a while. okay. I’ll come visit you sometime soon. But what happened all of a sudden?”
“that.”
“that?”
“Chaff, grain… … .”
Quang!
At that time, the door was opened roughly and Hae-sik came in. He smiled brightly and said to Jeongdo.
“older brother! I think I’ve come to some kind of enlightenment. Can you spar with me? Oh, Seoyoon was there too… … Oh no. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… … Mr. Haesik.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Do it with me. “Couple.”
“… … yes?”
“Let’s do it with me. “There is no right of veto.”
“Uh, huh?”
As soon as Hae-sik came in, he was grabbed by Seo-yoon’s hand and dragged away. Do-do burst out laughing at the sight that seemed like something he had seen before.
“Are you happy? Fortunately, the.”
“huh?”
Jeong Do turned his head when he heard a voice right next to him, and there was an elegant blonde maid standing there.
Winry Machina. He was a true agent of the universe. I asked her in a tone that dripped with joy about her extent.
“Winry. long time no see. Are you feeling better now?”
“yes. Once the existence of the outer universe begins, it will never be able to come back. Because it was properly repaired. Moreover, the succession of the ‘real universe’ and the ‘copy universe’ is also progressing smoothly. “It’s all thanks to you.”
“under. thank god. By the way, are you here to tell us that?”
“… … no way. Mr. Jeongdo. “Have you forgotten what day it is?”
“huh?”
What day?
I was a little embarrassed. This was because Winry’s expression looked very sad when she said that. It was an expression she would never have made before.
“I’m sorry. “I really don’t know.”
“Today marks exactly one year since Jeong Do and I met.”
“uh? “1st anniversary?”
A doubt appeared on his face as he asked that question. Well, if it’s special, it’s a special day… … Why is Winry so sad? Isn’t that something that only lovers take care of?
However, Jeong-do did not raise such questions out loud. It seemed like the moment he said that out of his mouth, he would look at him like he was looking at a bug.
“Well, I see. “Then, since it’s been a long time coming, shall we have a conversation?”
“I will prepare tea.”
It was very enjoyable to talk back and forth while being considerate of the other person. After some time had passed, Jeong-do put down her teacup and asked her.
“But Winry. “Can I ask you one question?”
“Anything is okay.”
“You know, before the final battle, when the two Great Old Ones, Nyala, and Winry fought.”
“… … yes.”
“Then, why on earth were you caught so vainly? No matter how much I think about it, I just can’t understand that part… … ah. “He ran away again.”
Jeongdo sighed. Winry, who was enjoying tea with her, had already arrived but had disappeared. The doctor shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on the sofa. It’s over anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
“I see. It’s already been a year today since she met her… … No, wait a year?”
Surprised, I opened the status window and entered the <Information> category, which I don’t often use anymore. And then I looked at the information at the top and laughed.
“This was today. “I almost blew it.”
Jeongdo quickly picked up his clothes and put them on. There was a small smile on his lips.
<Confucius, you look happy. Where are you going? >
“I’m going to buy a lottery ticket.”
<Lotto? What is that?>
“It’s a good thing that gives people dreams and hope.”
<Hehe. I’m not sure, but Confucius looks happy, so I’m happy too.>
Before heading out the door, Jeong-do took a last look at the office. It was awkward at first, but now it was a space that I had become more familiar with than my home.
All the big events were over, but there was still a lot left to do. Dungeons were continuously being created, and deaths occurred every day.
However, unlike the ‘real universe’, the Earth will not be destroyed. Because I won’t let that happen.
“Yooseon.”
<Why but Confucius.>
“Thank you for your continued support.”
<Hehe. That’s what Jim wants to say.>
bang.
Jeong Do left the office, gently closing the door. And she walked forward.
For a new beginning tomorrow.
