Chapter 100 – But What About It? It Actually Happened.(5)
A warrior fell from the sky.
It didn’t land in a great pose from a splendid dive, but flew at full speed and smashed its face into the ground like angry birds flying on a slingshot to scold the evil green pig that was stealing eggs. However, since the hero’s body was wrapped in dazzlingly gorgeous divine power, it was difficult to recognize unless it was Selena, a master of divine magic, or me, who had a lot of knowledge about it because that divine power was a weakness.
To others, the hero came down like a meteor from the sky and seemed to blow away the crowding monsters in an instant, but in my eyes, the hero just fell down and the unlucky monsters sitting there turned inside out with a divinity so strong It seemed to be bursting out of power. Meanwhile, Selena turned her eyes away from her junior’s ungainly appearance, as if she couldn’t stand it.
“Ugh, I can’t really see it. Can I really trust that?”
“…”
To her words, I couldn’t give a proper answer. To be honest, as someone who had been waiting for him for a long time, I was a little embarrassed to say that he was the only answer, even after seeing a performance that made everyone feel embarrassed, but there was a real reason. It is that thick divine power that vibrates in the hero’s body.
Monsters are creatures that, no matter how weak, can harm people. Moreover, over there, the monsters rampaging on the front line of Hermon Kingdom are killifishes that we missed without catching them all. Of course, the difference in class is also usually the difference between dying in one shot or two, but when the difference in one shot is added up as a number, it is a level that other people have to put dozens of cannons into.
By the way, no matter how high I put it, that hero who can’t be said to be on par with me or Selena, no matter how much he releases his holy power at maximum output, it doesn’t make sense that the demons explode like balloons before they even touch his body. Besides, I don’t know how many thousand meters he fell from the sky, but his neck was broken and he didn’t die as it was, and his body is fine without a single wound. Of course, if the hero who is supposed to save the world really falls down in front of the final boss, that would be a difficult problem as such, but anyway, it is equally impossible for that hero to remain intact even after falling from that far-flung height.
This isn’t some kind of gag cartoon correction.
The biggest difference of all…
“Damn it, it seems the variable has increased again.”
The overflowing divine power felt from the hero’s body was not of one kind.
*
[Ha, ha… Whoa. He seems to be quite excited, unlike me.]
Justia, the goddess of justice, took a deep breath and tried to regain her calm and dignified appearance. It was difficult to do, and I couldn’t look at her as a lofty goddess. What’s more, I don’t understand…
[More than that, Justia-sama, why did you give my hero your strength? That child is my warrior. He is my chosen warrior. No matter how much Justia-nim says she has a higher rank as a god than me, it is never right to interfere with my creations without my consent.]
[That kind of thing is also a hero… Ah, no. Big hum.]
Eustia, who momentarily failed to control her expression and muttered a contemptuous expression toward her floor, cleared her throat several times and regained her composure.
[Anyway, your scenario has already collapsed. The hero was not prepared, and the villain, in comparison, was a very strong iron man, and now another god intervened from the outside is interfering.]
[Still…!]
[Do you still not understand, Luminous?]
Justia sighed as she touched her forehead.
[Your rank promotion test is a failure.]
[…Yes?!]
[To be precise… I should say that it was ‘invalidated’.]
Justia slowly walked beside Luminous and continued her words.
[You might want to ask why the exam was suddenly invalidated when the play wasn’t even over yet? It’s simple. The play is, to the last, the process of a rank promotion test. However, it means that we have judged that you are not qualified enough to take the test.]
[What is that…!]
[Look.]
Percussion. With one light tap of Justia’s foot, a circle on her floor turned transparent. Before long, the scenery in the world of Luminous was reflected there.
[First of all, you were not well prepared. The creation and destruction of the world is an extremely ordinary and natural thing that all gods go through thousands of times. However, because you did not want the world you created to be destroyed, you did not even create the world to be destroyed. And the contents of the test are simple things like making a world and proceeding with the story according to the scenario you prepared. However, this creation cannot be understood with a few words of advice. It is important to have the experience of failing over and over again and trying again.]
The story that came out of Justia’s mouth was an argument that Ruminus could not refute.
[This test can be passed by those who have experienced failure in the first place. After trying to create the world several times, it failed, and creation and civilization perished, and he had to learn where he made mistakes and what went wrong. But you were afraid of failure, so you didn’t try. Because of that, you were so immature… To the point where you didn’t even notice that another god had entered the world you created.]
[…
[That’s a really stupid mistake. For God, the world he created is his home ground. No strong god can defeat you in your world. That’s why you were supposed to know your world better than anyone else… But you allowed other gods to intervene. At that point, you have already lost the qualifications for the ranking test. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Then what is the next reason?]
[That’s…]
Ruminus couldn’t answer right away.
[Don’t you know? Let me know The second is ‘knowing one’s capabilities’. Since he had never created the world, he didn’t even know that another god had invaded the world he had created. But what really matters is that you knew that another god had intervened and you didn’t inform them. Normally, it would be proper procedure to pause the world and inform the audience of the interrupter’s intervention, but you did not. Originally, it was impossible for another god to intervene and interfere with the sacred rank promotion test itself, but the reason you overlooked it… Is because the test stops the moment you announce that fact.]
[…
[If you didn’t know about the intervention of the intruder, you’re not qualified. After all, the saboteurs have accomplished half of their purpose from the moment they infiltrate your world. Of course, thanks to your competent helper, I couldn’t complete the other half. If you’d rather hide it, you wouldn’t know if you had completely hidden it and handled it secretly so that no one would notice. And ironically, your competent helper was the third reason that invalidated your test.]
Cooong. Justia stomped her foot once more, and the scene on the floor expanded to reflect a person. A male black wizard who brutally slaughters an endless stream of monsters, back to back with a blonde female warrior.
[You brought in a human from a completely unrelated world to solve a problem in your world. I didn’t know when I would be able to take the next test if I failed or invalidated this test, so in my impatience I stole a creature from the creator of another world. This is a very serious matter. God created the world, but he had to avoid direct interference as much as possible, but you stole a soul that returned to the spirit world from a world that was not created for testing and was run by another god. Of course, compared to the whole world, one human soul seems insignificant… But the problem is not how valuable the stolen item is. The important thing is… The fact that you stole a creature from another world.]
It was only then that Ruminus remembered that Justia was the goddess of justice.
[It is a grave offense in the divine realm to steal a creature without seeking permission from another god, but I, the goddess of justice, have not yet punished you for violating the divine realm’s laws. Do you know why? It is because the Creator of the world, the God of the Earth, for whom you stole his creation, has forgiven you. Well, to be precise… Earth’s power itself is poor, but other gods sometimes take a few creatures for the reason that the level of civilization or creatures satisfies the minimum level that will not cause any problems even if thrown into another world, and the god of Earth itself is too lazy I didn’t bother to ask you for a crime, but […
Justia smiled bitterly and tapped her own palm with her golden ruling staff.
[Anyway, due to the following three reasons, as of now, the Goddess of Light Luminus’ transcendental rank promotion test and the play below are invalidated. The reason I gave my holy power to your warrior is simple. Because the owner of the world lacks the ability to deal with the problems that need to be dealt with, he is suffering from headaches, so he, the closest creature, is left to take care of the cleanup instead. Apart from invalidating your test, the story of the world must be concluded in some way.]
[…Nonsense.]
Luminous slumped down on her floor.
[So, in the end, at the point when those two gods intervened in my test, I was disqualified no matter what I did…]
[To be precise, the fact that you couldn’t confirm that fact in advance means that you lack the ability. If I had known that, I would have taken the test again in the near future. It’s your mistake that you didn’t consider that much and your vision was narrowed because you were blinded by the opportunity right in front of you.]
[In the first place, you shouldn’t interfere with other gods’ rank promotion tests…!]
[Yes. So, they will be punished appropriately.]
[If the test is invalid, you must be given a chance to take it again…]
[What did you hear me say so far?]
Justia answered coldly.
[The promotion test is not a test that you can take at any time. When you think you have enough ability and qualifications to do more as a god, it is the process of testing your aptitude by higher gods. However, the reason your test was invalidated was because of their obstruction, but your lack of competence is great. If you had informed them of their involvement before the play began, we would have given you time to prepare for your re-exam and let you re-take the test… But you did not. We judged that a god who could not distinguish between what he could do and what he could not do was not qualified to wield greater power.]
[…
A dry tear fell from Ruminus’ eyes and silently ran down his cheek. As if her appearance had aroused her sympathy, Justia comforted her with her soft sigh and much softer voice.
[Don’t blame us too much. This is not your fault. Rather, you are more like a victim.]
[Then why do I have to end up suffering unilaterally like this when I didn’t do anything wrong…?]
[It’s just that the time has not yet come for you.]
Cooong. Justia stamped her foot once more, and the floor, where the scenery on the ground was reflected, returned to its original pure white marble.
[Your competent helper, unfortunately, will be handled personally by me. Even if everything that happened in your world was unavoidable for the sake of your play, I can never forgive you for collaborating with that evil ancient foreign press.]
After Justia, the goddess of justice, leaves.
Luminus, the goddess of light, remained alone in the Temple of Heaven and shed tears.
The fact that the effort he had prepared for a long time, and the opportunity he had finally managed to get his hands on, was ruined by the obstruction of obstructionists he barely knew.
All the sad feelings that I had been holding back ever since I ascended to the position of transcendentalist.
[Black, heh… Black…]
Like a bursting dam.
[Black, heuuuuu…!]
Burst out at once.
[Huuuuu…! Aaaaa!!]
In a strange situation, as if the world hated her and forcibly caught her, the tender-hearted goddess couldn’t stand it and burst into tears.
One drop, then another drop.
-Tuk, tuduk. Dududuk…!
The tears shed by the goddess…
-To-du-du-duduk! Do-do-do-do-do! Shoot aaaaa!
It began to wash the land stained with the blood and death of countless lives.
*
Shoot aaaaa…!
Right after the hero descended on the ground like a handful of meteors, slicing through thick dark clouds that seemed to overturn the entire sky, and wiped out dozens of monsters in an instant, rain began to fall from the sky as if he had been waiting for it. The figure of a hero aiming at the unstoppable monsters in the sudden pouring rain with the holy sword-Unikor that only those with a pure heart can pull out was truly the first scene of a legendary narrative itself.
“…Haaaaap!”
With a strong spirit, the hero, Luke, stepped forward with his right foot and thrust out the sword in his hand, and a ray of dazzling flash performed the miracle of cutting the disgusting wave of monsters in half. A sturdy ogre that can withstand direct hits from a cannon, a troll that quickly regenerates wounds even after becoming a hedgehog from dozens of arrows, a golem that is difficult to defeat due to its high defense and magic resistance, and even a giant that doesn’t budge from a moderate attack. It was easily swept away by a single sword.
Luke’s pure fighting power is still better than that of Rag or Armageddon, but in other overall aspects, it is rather lagging behind Rag or Armageddon, and in terms of performance, it was a perfect backward compatible, no, degraded version of the first warrior, Selena. However, the Luke standing on this battlefield now was not the original Luke.
The golden divine power shimmering like an existing haze was mixed with the orange divine power that shook violently as if it were blazing, and his appearance looked like a walking sun in the eyes of Ragna Armageddon. And if it wasn’t before, he could have guessed that if he fought in that state, as if he had received the divine power of another god… He would never be able to guarantee victory.
The power of the Goddess who created this world and the power of a self-proclaimed god of justice dwelled in one body, and it became a force that would never be lacking even compared to Rag, Armageddon, and Selena.
The first hero and master of divine magic, Selena.
The actual ruler of Hermon Kingdom, Ragna Armageddon of the Black Army.
Luke, a warrior of light and justice who descended to destroy the world’s evil.
The moment when the three strongest people on the continent come together.
[Kurururr, kuruaaaaa!!]
As if it had been waiting for that moment, the immortal demon dragon, which sent out only monsters endlessly and let out a loud howl from time to time, finally spread its dark red wings wide and cut off the chains of lightning that restrained it at once. . Spreading wings much larger than his own body length, the black dragon landed on the ground. With just that, the earth quickly began to rot into black due to the morale emanating from the dragon’s body.
The disaster, finally freed from all restraints, revealed its overwhelming sense of intimidation in front of the three strongest people on this continent.
A confrontation between the evil that has been disturbing the world by constantly sending monsters ever since civilization was established on this continent, and the three people who have the power to stop it.
It is like the fateful stage to end the long and infamous evil relationship, and it will forever go up and down in the mouths of bards in the future.
Of course, the parties involved…
‘Ha… I really have to believe in that guy and fight…’
‘You have to fight with these things? Please, Lord.’
‘I don’t know what’s going on, but I guess I’ll have to deal with that gigantic monster first…?’
Far from engraving the spleen resolution, the disbelief and ignorance of the disbelief were currently in progress.
