Episode 350
350. New Soul Binding Quest
Ryumin quietly followed the Yongje.
The dragon occasionally looks back, but he turns his head forward again as if he is not particularly wary.
But it was Yongje’s mistake.
Sereung-
The ‘Scythe that cuts down the darkness’ appeared in Ryumin’s right hand and was hung around the Dragon Emperor’s neck.
The dragon stopped walking and looked back with fierce eyes.
[What is this?]
“Say it. “What are you planning?”
[what?]
As a dragon, I couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Let alone the threat to your life, what are you planning out of nowhere?
[Decorating it? What kind of bullshit are you talking about?]
“I know everything, so don’t act like a fool.”
The Yongje still looked bewildered, but Ryumin did not miss it.
For a split second, his eyes wavered.
“You’re hiding something. yes?”
[You are out of your mind, Gaia’s messenger. While leading the way to Terra, her life was suddenly threatened. Does Gaia know this?]
“I know. “Because the being who ordered me to kill you was Gaia.”
[Gaia sent you to kill me? Hahahaha!]
Yongje suddenly burst into laughter.
As if that would never happen.
[If you’re going to lie, don’t let it show, human. You look down on the king of dragons.]
‘Tch, I won’t get caught.’
In fact, Ryumin did not believe in Gaia.
Perhaps because I had already been stabbed in the back, I couldn’t get the thought out of my mind that there was something out there.
Therefore, I could not believe the dragon before my eyes.
That was the reason why they were risking their lives to get information.
‘It would have been easier if there had been an inner rune.’
I pretended to receive orders from Gaia to get information, but I wasn’t fooled.
‘But I know one thing for sure.’
The Dragon Emperor’s faith in Gaia is firm.
Like a loyal subject.
“You won’t give me information. “I can’t help it.”
Ryumin, thinking that it was not a good idea to obtain information, slowly moved the scythe.
Is it because he really acted like he was going to kill me?
The Dragon Emperor’s inclination, seen through the eyes of insight, changed from good to evil.
In a way, it was a natural result.
You can’t forever be friendly to someone who is trying to kill you.
However, Ryu Min had a different goal.
‘done. Now we can use the Time of Destruction.’
Moros’ skill to control the mind of an opponent with an evil mind.
With this, you can freely extract information from the Dragon Emperor.
[This is a high-level opponent.]
[The skill is cancelled.]
‘Oh no, it doesn’t work, does it?’
Perhaps because it is not an ordinary being, it does not work.
It seems like there’s something up there, but I can’t make it blow.
Is there no fear of death?
Even at the moment the sword entered his throat, the dragon bared his teeth and made a threat.
[If you kill me, you will regret it, human.]
“well. “You’ll know that when you kill them.”
[I don’t know why you’re doing this.]
“If you want to live, tell the truth.”
[What you see is the truth.]
“What I see… … .”
Ryumin muttered and looked at the system window.
The Dragon Emperor’s eyes lit up, as if he thought he had let his guard down.
It looks like he was thinking of turning into a dragon and counterattacking.
But it was faster than that to pull the scythe from around his neck.
Suddenly!
Toouk!
With a single wave of his hand, the Dragon Emperor died.
Because it was an eternal item with such high performance, even if its stats were low, it was enough to kill a person.
Red blood spreads around the dragon emperor’s corpse.
“… … .”
If there had been any onlookers, they would have probably screamed and pointed.

To others, it was no different from murdering an innocent Yongje, accusing him of having a plot.
But he was never killed without reason.
Because he was just completing a quest.
* * *
When the second apotheosis was completed.
Ryumin had to open his eyes wide at the new quest.
[There is a new Soul Binding quest.]
‘huh? Was there another quest? I heard that killing God is the last thing?’
According to Gaia’s words, there are no more soul binding quests.
But there’s one more?
The quest that he looked at with the intention of seeing what it was was enough to surprise Ryumin.
<Soul Binding Quest>
└Do not believe in Gaia
└Kill the Dragon Lord Karmitris (0/1)
└When successful ▶ ????
‘What kind of quest is this? ‘You’re not kidding, are you?’
It’s a system created by Gaia, so don’t trust Gaia.
Also, kill the dragon emperor?
‘Where do you find solvent?’
Even though the content of the quest was not difficult, Ryumin was confused.
Is this really a quest created by Gaia?
‘Should I ask Gaia when I meet her?’
Ryumin slowly shook his head.
If this is true, you should not believe in Gaia.
‘For now, let’s move according to plan.’
I put aside the quest and focused on conquering Chaos.
Then, in the end, Rubuahi followed the next best plan and came face to face with Gaia, but the problem was that she found out the truth.
Gaia’s behavior after changing the settings of the boss room and destroying herself.
It was from then on.
Ryumin decided not to believe in Gaia.
I decided to believe in the soul binding quest.
* * *
‘I killed the Dragon Emperor as per the quest.’
The decision was not made purely based on the content of the quest.
When I saw him a little while ago, it was clear that he was hiding something.
‘Furthermore, his inclination changed to evil and he was planning to strike back at me.’
Maybe innocent lives were killed.
However, Ryumin decided to trust the quest.
Didn’t I get it right when I said not to believe in Gaia?
‘It’s already spilled water.’
Having betrayed Gaia, it was as if he had lost the means to deal with Chaos, but Ryumin decided to trust his senses.
[You have completed the Soul Binding quest.]
[‘Paradise Warp Ticket’ has arrived as a reward for the Soul Binding quest.]
‘What is this? Paradise Warp Area?’
Paradise.
Is this really the place Gaia told me about?
That’s when you decide to hold off on using it for now.
[Paradise warp ticket is used immediately according to the settings.]
‘what?’
A bright light appeared as if he had no choice, covering Ryumin’s vision.
* * *
‘This place… … .’
As soon as he opened his eyes, Ryumin suspected that he was seeing an illusion.
‘It’s home, right?’
It’s just an ordinary family home.
The atmosphere is so cozy that it could be mistaken for a fantasy.
A house that makes you feel cozy and lets your guard down.
[It’s finally here.]
At that moment, Ryumin’s head turned at the sound of a voice coming from behind him.
[Oh, there’s nothing to be wary of. I don’t have much strength.]
A young woman wearing an apron in the kitchen smiles.
‘… … Could it be that he is the god of massacre?’
When I see the divine power flowing from the voice, it seems like it is God, but it is confusing.
As she said, it didn’t look that threatening.
‘I don’t think so… … .’
Then she shouted towards the second floor.
[Honey, you have a guest!]
[Oh! I’ll go down now!]
I guess I guessed wrong.
Because a man believed to be the god of massacre has come down.
[You really came this far.]
The man was an Asian with an ordinary appearance.
As soon as Ryumin saw him, he knew his identity right away.
Because the energy flowing from my whole body was unusual.
“You are Min Do-jun, the god of massacre?”
[okay. I guess I got an explanation from Gaia.]
“yes.”
[You probably have a lot of questions, so let’s sit down.]
Do-Jun Min suggested sitting on the sofa and asked a woman, presumed to be his wife, for two cups of tea.
widely-
[Listen.]
Ryumin looked down at the car with wary eyes.
“What is this?”
[It’s just ordinary chamomile tea. It has a calming effect. It’s not poisonous, so don’t worry.]
“it’s okay.”
[If you think about what will happen in a moment, you won’t be able to not drink it, right?]
What’s going to happen that scares me in advance?
As Ryu Min was still glaring, Min Do-jun smiled.
[good. Let me first clear your curiosity. As you may have guessed, I included the quest to kill the Dragon Emperor. This is not a quest designed by Gaia.]
“To bring me here?”
[that’s right.]
“What is the reason?”
[Because Gaia is a being that cannot be trusted.]
When I still looked at him with an expression of ignorance, Min Do-jun grinned.
[Do you know for what purpose Gaia sent you to the Dragon Emperor?]
“To find the enormous amount of Terra buried in Drakania.”
[That’s just a superficial reason, not the truth.]
“then?”
[Actually, the intention was to sacrifice you to find out Kronos’ location.]
Ryumin was not surprised.
Rather, I just had doubts.
“I heard that Gaia has already found Kronos?”
[I found it. But recently I missed it again. Kronos ran away on his own.]
“You ran away? why?”
[Because he realized that his mother was trying to kill him and absorb his power.]
Gaia tried to kill Kronos?
Gaia, who designed all of this for her son?
It was a shocking statement, but Ryu Min was not surprised this time either.
Because I don’t even know if Min Do-jun’s words are true.
“It’s different from what I’ve heard, isn’t it? “I heard that Gaia planned all of this to protect Kronos?”
[It was like that. It was definitely like that until he first came to see me. I could clearly feel the mother’s love to protect her son. But not now.]
“… … .”
[After finding Kronos, Gaia changed. She realized it too late when she created a rune that allowed her to regress 100 times. That Kronos’ power is greater than I thought. As if Chaos realized it.]
Whoop-
Min Do-jun, who wet his throat with tea, continued speaking.
[But that doesn’t mean Gaia wants to kill Kronos like Chaos. Since it doesn’t have the power of destruction anyway, I can’t kill it. Instead, I found a way to absorb Kronos’ power. Also, if you absorb it, you can break free from the shackles of Chaos and become an absolute god.]
“Kronos found out about that?”
[yes. Kronos discovered Gaia’s plan and ran away. Now he is in a situation where he cannot even trust the mother who gave birth to him.]
“… … .”
The father is trying to kill himself, and the mother is trying to absorb herself and become an absolute god?
His son, Kronos, would probably go crazy and jump around.
‘They’re a bean powder family that looks like something out of a really bad drama, right?’
However, the premise must be that it is true.
[There is no lie in what I say. It’s all true.]
“Then why does Gaia need me?”
[As I said before, I need you to find Kronos’ location.]
“Me?”
[You, who have regressed 100 times, still have a remnant of Kronos’ power. It was a plan to determine the location based on the remnants.]
In other words, it was the key to finding Kronos, who had run away.
“So, are you saying that the place the Dragon Emperor was trying to guide me to was not the land where Terra is buried, but to lure me to the altar and kill me?”
[that’s right. Those dragons are all on the same team as Gaia.]
“Why are the Balaur helping Gaia?”
[Gaia suggested it. If you help me find Kronos and become an absolute god, I will not only give you eternal life, but I will also help you defeat Chaos and escape the barren land.]
For some reason, the Dragon Emperor showed loyalty to Gaia.
There was a reason for everything.
“What do you mean there is a huge amount of Terra buried there? “Was that a lie too?”
[It’s not a lie. It’s really buried. In reality, it was just an excuse and bait to lure you.]
“… … .”
[Gaia has only told the truth so far. Because I couldn’t break the soul contract. However, she did not say everything.]
Ryumin must have been thinking too much and kept his mouth shut.
Min Do-jun, who understood that feeling, added a story to help Ryu Min organize his thoughts.
[When Gaia came to me and said she would change the boss room settings, I read her inner thoughts and figured it out to some extent. That this guy, like Chaos, doesn’t care about the lives of humans or anything like that. That he is only focused on the goal of killing Chaos.]
“… … .”
[Then, when you failed the 100th round and proceeded with the 101st round, Kronos figured out Gaia’s intentions and ran away. Gaia came to me like she used to and asked for advice. Thanks to that, I was able to find out. Gaia is now targeting Kronos.]
“… … .”
[Gaia has already discarded the card called you. At first, I thought it was a weapon to eliminate Chaos, but after seeing Kronos’ true power, I changed my mind. To kill Chaos, I decided to absorb his son.]
“… … .”
[That’s why I created additional quests while hacking Gaia’s system. Because I expected you to be abandoned in Drakania.]
Ryumin, who had been lost in thought for a while looking at the floor, finally raised his head.
However, his eyes were full of suspicion about Min Do-jun.
“What if this is all a lie you made up?”
Ryu Min’s suspicion was natural.
Min Do-jun is the first god I’ve seen, and he doesn’t have a soul contract like Gaia.
[It may be hard to believe, but I didn’t tell a single lie. If you want, I can make a contract for you. But to doubt it now is absurd. Didn’t you kill the Dragon Emperor in the first place because you were suspicious of Gaia?]
“But what I just said is so absurd.”
[If you don’t believe me, check this out.]
Min Do-jun suddenly snapped his fingers and the TV in the living room turned on.
On TV, dragons were carrying the dragon emperor’s body.
[This is currently being broadcast in real time. Can you see it over there? Something like an altar. I was planning to place your body there and perform a ritual to track down Kronos.]
I could definitely see the altar, but this wasn’t enough.
“As long as we have the Akashic Records, it’s only a matter of time before we find Kronos. “But why do we perform this ritual?”
[That’s because Kronos is in a place that can’t be found even with the Akashic Records. Right here.]
“yes?”
Dojun Min stood up.
[Wait a moment. I will bring Kronos.]
