Chapter 729
Episode 184. Beyond Fate (1)
Black Sea, uncharted territory.
Shiron opened his eyes and slowly raised himself.
In a space full of poison and darkness, I could feel the breath of the first daughter enduring pain.
“… … Father, this time you woke up after four days.”
Feeling Shiron’s presence, Luna opened her mouth.
Recently, there have been many moments when Shiron lost consciousness, and each time it took longer to wake up again.
over the past few decades.
Shiron Runkandel reigned as the supreme ruler of the world and became a symbol of a wall that could never be crossed or broken.
However, in this dark land, even such mythical beings have become ‘humans who can die at any time’.
Before facing the Kings of the Black Sea, Luna had never even imagined that Shiron could die in battle.
For example, Shiron was shaking.
Like many other normal people.
[Old man! You’re up. I’ve been waiting for this Ozdock to sort out the remnants of chaos that could be food.]
“Excellent, Ozdok.”
[Huh… … As soon as you wake up, praise like this! This Ozdock, I will continue to support the elders and knights with more sincerity!]
“Bring the leftovers.”
Ozdok went to collect the remnants of chaos, stealing his eyes as if he was sincerely moved.
Hurry up, Shiron had to purify the remnants and feed the knights so that they could regain their strength.
Luna, who had been looking at her father with a bitter look for a while, had a faint smile on her lips.
“You look in a good mood as soon as you wake up today, Dad. You usually don’t talk for a while.”
Then, Shiron smiled.
At times like this, it pained Luna that her father was laughing more in this hell than when he was in the family.
“I saw the youngest.”
“the youngest… … Jin!?”
“Yes, I heard you are walking in your own world. Pretty tired… … .”
“mother… … No, he broke the family… … It must be because of the traitor.”
Shiron nodded.
Shiron has been monitoring the situation of the world by appearing in her dreams or in the inner world since Rosa became a deity, and at present, only he and Luna are aware of Rosa’s treason in the expedition.
I deliberately did not inform the other knights of the expedition.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust the articles.
Just now, the knights of the expedition were in a hopeless situation.
Due to the enormous amount of chaotic radiation, the superhumans were weakened both physically and mentally, and some of the more severe ones even lost their language altogether.
There was no need to add pain and confusion to them.
Because of this, Shiron told the story about Rosa only to Luna, who was relatively unexposed.
“Is the youngest okay?”
“It wouldn’t have been okay if I had met Rosa instead of me.”
“Well, then, meeting my father in the inner world… … It could mean that the child has reached Changseong.”
“It is not.”
Ozdok politely placed the remnants of chaos in front of Shiron.
[Hehe, look at this. I worked really hard on it… … .]
The energy and magic of the creation began to purify the black lumps.
Ozdok watched the scene happily, then stepped back after receiving Luna’s glance.
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Yes, Father. Ozdok has suffered quite a bit in the past, but I think I just treated him a little badly. Ozdok now deserves to hear the big things about his family. The mind is the most sound among us.”
“the youngest. She meant not to worry too much about the child. Jin is ready to shoulder his fate. That’s even more than reaching the level of a virtuoso like Changsung… … It is much more important.”
Luna’s eyes widened. That is why the meaning contained in the words of her poetic theory was so amazing.
“Father, now. Do you know that this is the first time?”
“What do you mean?”
“You mean what a father says as if he believes in his children. And when it comes to matters like this where the fate of the family is at stake, there has never been a single one. But now… … Jin says he’s ready.”
It wasn’t just that he had no choice but to trust Jin because there was no other alternative. Even more so, it was not the words that he had uttered because he was weakened by the desperate battle that continued.
Luna recognized that Chiron truly believed that the youngest was filling his void.
Shiron’s gaze reached Barisada.
If I go back, I thought it would be okay to pass this sword on to my youngest son. If only I could go back, whatever.
“Distribute the refined food to the knights, Luna. We should be ready to do our job too. As soon as the meal is over, we will set off again. When I am awake, I need to move as much distance as possible.”
“Yes, Father.”

Until the scheduled showdown, there is only one day left.
Jin, who returned to Tican again, could not find the appearance of thinness like before.
The two eyes shone as if nothing could stain them, and the straight waist seemed unbreakable no matter what enemy it encountered.
Jin took a last look at his colleagues and allies gathered in the conference room.
“This is our last meeting. But actually, we don’t have much to talk about between our temporary alliance today.”
The operation for the decisive battle had already been coordinated and agreed on detailed factors for all kinds of variables.
“Nevertheless, the reason why we gathered here in the Tikan meeting room must have been because everyone wanted to see my condition with their own eyes. How is it, are you satisfied?”
More than satisfying, it was even scary.
The members of the temporary alliance were clearly feeling fear as well as anticipation at the unbelievably strong appearance of a person who had died from a mental attack just a few days ago.
If what the evil god showed the world through this mental attack was absolute fear, what Jin was proving now was a will that never faded even in the midst of it.

Its will is now directed at the evil god, but after the decisive battle, it will press the temporary allies again.
“… … Rather, you’ve become stronger than before the evil god’s mental attack.”
Jin nodded at Veradin’s words.
“Looks like Zipple is satisfied. What about Kingelo? Do you still think we should delay the showdown?”
[No, it’s okay to start right away.]
“Okay then… … .”
Jin got up from his seat.
“Let’s go outside for a while and meet people.”
[suddenly?]
“Before tomorrow, I have something I want to say to people.”
“Are you going to give a speech?”
“That’s how it is. It was unplanned, so you don’t have to follow me if you don’t like it. You know, I’ve been a bit busy, so I haven’t had time to inform you in advance. But if possible, I want the chiefs to do it together. Wouldn’t the picture live a little more to show the solidarity of the temporary alliance? If you have something you want to say, feel free to add it.”
Jin immediately moved outside the Tikan Palace.
Everyone in the conference room followed suit without exception.
Naturally, a crowd gathered and formed a procession.
Every time Jin took a step, cheers erupted from everywhere.
Jin continued to wave at them or say thank you and move on.
Once, he chewed and swallowed the eel pods distributed by the Dark Flame.
The place where Jin stopped walking was the central plaza on the first floor of Tikan.
The crowd stopped cheering.
Jin hadn’t said anything yet, but tens of thousands of people all held their breath as they looked at his mood.
“The skirmish against the evil god, called mental attack, is over.”
Jin omitted the greeting and continued his speech slowly.
“When I head to the inner battlefield to counter the psychic attack of the evil god… … I told my colleagues that I might not be able to return. Those of you who have suffered a mental attack will know. How the hell am I supposed to overcome this, I have no choice but to give up, all I can think about is that.”
People continued to listen, and members of the Temporary Alliance waited, guessing how the speech would play out.
“Fortunately, the result of the skirmish ended in our victory, and I survived safely and got the opportunity to address you like this. It is thanks to all of you who fought together. If I had fought alone, I would never have won.”
Jin lowered his head once.
Seriously, Jin thought that the hard work of ordinary people had a huge impact on why he was able to survive.
At the time when I was walking in the inner world, if their aspirations hadn’t been conveyed as wind in my ears, I would have lost my way.
“Now, tomorrow, the members of the provisional alliance, including myself, will finally come to terms with the feint. To put an end to the long and terrible battle, we march to the castle of the evil god.”
I will definitely win and come back.
The allies expected such words to continue, but Jin continued a slightly different story.
“I, just like the day I headed for the inner battlefield… … Dear everyone. I want to say that maybe we will never come back. The greatest forces of mankind have formed an unprecedented alliance, and even won several battles. It is still a strong and gigantic being that the bust is too strong to handle.”
Before the decisive battle, the real story that Jin wanted to leave to countless ordinary people in the world was this.
“Nevertheless, we are going to fight. So even if I, or we, are defeated by the evil god and cannot come back. Don’t give up and keep fighting. Please fight against the evil god in any way. Just like we’ve all been together in recent days.”
Jin takes a breath.
“Then I think we can all go back. From the land of depravity to our land, from a life tainted with fear and pain to a peaceful daily life, to a destiny that has been pioneered by oneself beyond fate.”
Silence passed for a while.
And soon, the crowd started putting their hands on my chest as if they had promised. As if he had sworn to do so.
Jin looked at them and raised his sword.
“It is an honor to fight alongside you. Then, I will go.”
