Chapter 728 – 728. Nothing Lasts Forever
A star is fading.
The berserk god of dragons sensed his end.
The life that continued for a long time has finally reached its end.
Just before a new star rises.
The Dragon King roared despite losing his power of existence and being robbed of his ego by suppressing power.
In his disappearing self, he had to choose.
Will I face an eternal end at their hands like this?
Or will I give up the power I have and become a trivial creature?
Worries last longer. If you give up all your power and kneel before them, you will survive.
But is it really alive?
[Death is better than miserable survival.]
The Dragon King chose to die.
If you can’t live as the Dragon King, it’s better to die.
He is the one who reigned over everything, even now that a world was born and is ending.
Death if you become a petty object.
If you can’t command, you’ll be put to rest.
[The end of a ruler is assassination.]
Looking at the approaching dragon slayers.
He waited for death.
I felt people flying in, holding on to the last bits of my dying self.
Flying insects rushing toward his large body.
Those who thought it was no big deal have grown up and are struggling to take over.
You’re using this crazy plan to put all the intelligent beings in the universe to sleep.
The Dragon King mocked himself.
They tried to burn everything and drag everyone up together.
I was interrupted again. He was stopped on his way to bite off the Prophet’s neck.
It’s the same opponent this time too.
The Apostle of Ten Thousand Demons once again blocked the way forward.
If I had killed him when I could, would things have been different from now?
What would it have been like if the bugs of the pantheon had run rampant together?
I thought maybe I was wasting my power too much.
If I was going to be hunted like this anyway.
It would have been better to throw everything at them and completely destroy the Earth by blowing it up.
I shouldn’t have cared whether causality was violated or not.
If this was a game that would be destroyed by the hands of a bastard called a prophet anyway, was there a need to sacrifice one’s life for the rules?
If the scum of the Ten Thousand Demons were sealed and led the World Tree and the Giant God and devastated the Ten Thousand Demons’ Temple.
What would it have been like if we had done that?
Continued IF.
However, the world line has already been fixed and can no longer be reversed.
[You’re late. Too. It’s too late.]
There was no point in regretting it now.
The end has already been declared.
Because the arrow called death was shot in reverse.
The Dragon King closed his eyes.
There was no point in further resistance.
Breaking through a path I thought was impenetrable.
It was impossible to prevent their entry.
His destruction has come.
******
The moment tax collection was activated, all the filth dragons that were flying towards us became Buddhas.
Their life force is absorbed into me. The entire vast area was stained with heavenly punishment.
The road opens.
The road to the Dragon King’s evil has been opened.
Helgen advances, destroying the fallen and dying remains.
[Helgen!!! The evil is over there!!!]
“Yes!!!!!”
The Dragon King, who had lost his wit, only sprayed his power in all directions and was unable to target us.
The dragons flying towards us all died because they were blocked by tax collection.
Zeke and Hilde…
[You’re alive.]
Both were alive.
Now all that is left is for Helgen to destroy the Dragon King’s evil.
There are only about 7 minutes left.
Kwa—ang!!!!
Helgen destroyed the Dragon King’s evil.
Helgen, who had become an adult, flew like a bullet and hit his head on the Dragon King’s backlash, and all the protection exploded, revealing the Dragon King’s heart to the world.
That is the heart of the Dragon King.
A red jewel.
Rather than a heart, it was closer to a magic stone of ridiculous size.
The waves of mana flowing out are enough to tear the skin.
Helgen could not withstand the shock and began to oxidize.
[Oh!!!!]
I came all the way here and destroyed Yeokrin, but I can’t die.
[Helgen!! Open your eyes!! Don’t get lost here!!! You damn thing!]
“Huh.!!! Ugh, ugh!!!!”
[Hold on!!! Because I’m healing!!!!]
The Dragon King stopped all movement, like a malfunctioning machine.
The filth dragons made from the remains of all gods were also no longer created.
Now I could only help Hilde, Sieg, and Helgen.
“Cough. Cough. Did you make it?”
“Helgen broke the ice.”
“Ha… Haha. I raised him with so much care that he finally did it. It’s an achievement. “You killed the Dragon King!”
Zeke, who looked happy, and Hilde, who looked relaxed, approached limping.
[You two, come here too. I will heal you.]
“It’s recovery that goes beyond healing.”
Zeke laughed as he looked at his restored body.
Hilde picked up the fainted Helgen and looked up at me.
“Really. Is that really dead?”
[No. Not dead yet. To be precise, I have given up on life.]
“You gave up on life?”
“Okay. The Dragon King gave up his life. “I think I would rather commit suicide than survive as a miserable person.”
He took out his incarnate body and answered with his voice.
There is no need to grapple with the Dragon King anymore.
“There are 3 minutes left. Now you just have to share that heart.”
“It is the heart of the Dragon King. Haha. Aiming. I’m glad I followed you. “This is how my long-time wish comes true.”
“It was kind of fun. The Dragon King was so big that I couldn’t cut it apart. It was chewy.”
“I’m glad you’re both satisfied. Come on, Zeke. Cut out the heart. Divide into thirds. “I just need to exercise my inhibitions.”
Because mana has become meaningless.
The Dragon King’s dragon heart was told to be shared among Helgen, Hilde, and Zeke.
Since you followed me here knowing that I would die, you can give me the heart of the Dragon King. Because it’s something that has no meaning to me anymore.
“Okay then. “I’ll send you back to hell.”
“You? “Aren’t we going together?”
“Huh. “I still have work left to do.”
“Is there anything else to do?”
“Did something happen?”
“Yes. Because I’m always busy.”
Hilde and Zeke stared at me.
As if I felt something.
“Aim, are you… Are you okay?”
“…”
I couldn’t answer.
Ever since the Dragon King swallowed up the remaining inhibitions.
I was confronting the questions that arose within me.
-Why aren’t you swallowing it?
-More. You want more.
-Is there any need to endure it?
Questions that hope to unleash my desires.
It’s tempting.
As if hoping I would cross the line.
It was stimulating my hunger.
“See you later. Go quickly.”
“I get it. I will definitely see you again alive.”
“Of course.”
I want to devour Hilde right now.
I want to swallow Zeke and make him my food.
You have to endure it.
If you get caught up in your impulses, you’re done.
“Keueuuuuu…
Hilde, Sieg, and even Helgen.
The three people who helped me catch the Dragon King returned to the abyss.
Above the ruins and corpses.
I held my head alone.
[Are you okay?]
“Yes… Yes, it’s okay.”
[…
I felt the eyes of the gods.
They are watching me.
I’m hungry.
It’s still not enough.
I want more.
This world.
My universe.
You have to swallow it all.
“No. Fuck.”
The urge grew, and my desire demanded destruction.
Make sure your ego is not erased.
Hold on and hold on again.
Don’t let the inhibitions inside me swallow me up.
So that I don’t destroy this world.
-Is there any need to maintain it?
-Anyway, you have so much power that you can create a world just like this one.
-Even with that much power. Are we still paying attention to these model gardens?
-Stop your foolish resistance.
-You who will become a god.
-He who will ascend to heaven.
-Accept me.
-Let’s go beyond with me.
-Okay, then.
-I think that would be good.
-How about it? It’s a world that has no meaning.
“No. This world… My world…”
-What is your world? What does it mean to you?
-Think about it carefully.
-Do you still love the things you loved?
-From the perspective of someone who has become a god. Is it possible to truly love a mortal?
I stopped answering.
I know too.
To truly love mortals from the perspective of a god.
It is a very difficult task.
The women I loved.
The women who made me come this far.
My love for them.
It has cooled down.
I was already feeling it too.
At some point, I was hesitant to meet them.
It’s a different feeling than before.
A heartbreaking feeling.
Sincere affection.
No.
I began to recognize them as beings different from me.
The suppressed feelings are revealed.
-Then, those evil spirits who want to be your companions.
-Did they truly love you?
-Maybe. Maybe I have similar feelings as you?
-Pets.
-Minions that need to be taken care of.
-Okay. I was looking at you with those feelings.
“…”
It must have been like that.
You already knew that the feelings the evil spirits had for me weren’t the kind of love I thought they would be.
Difference in rank.
That creates a goal that is difficult to close.
You knew it. Even though I knew, why am I sad?
No one loved me.
Because I can’t love anyone either.
Why do tears come out?
-So just stop.
-You are already qualified.
-Swallow your world and come here.
-What is the true meaning of unity? Let’s find out together.
A prophet is calling me.
I see.
If you follow that light.
Is there true happiness in the end?
I stretched out my hand.
“Break me.”
My incarnate body explodes.
The evil spirits who were watching me destroyed my existence once with their respective powers.
“Khaa… Kwaaaaa!!!!!”
Damage to the soul.
The voice that was messing with my head and trying to harass and dominate me has disappeared.
“You fucking bastard. Tempt me for a hundred days, a thousand days. Absoluteness. I will never pass over.”
There is no one who truly loves me?
Whatever. What does it matter?
Seriously, adult mind?
True love?
Not some kid.
“Don’t be funny. In the first place, nothing lasts forever. Everything is just a series of situations. Changing. Changing. Even if it cools down. “That’s all.”
Does love really have to last forever?
Baeknyeonhaero is just a childish pun.
Love can cool down at any time.
It can change at any time.
If I give meaning to each of those things, only I will get tired.
Even if I don’t truly love my women now.
The memories I have built with them will not disappear.
“Don’t interfere with other people’s memories, you bitch.”
He swore at the prophet.
Pain and vulgar swearing.
Another word that defines my existence.
I’ve always been shallow.
I have always suffered from pain.
My story and my memories created within it. Don’t treat my happy memories as fake.
Just because I’m not sparing now.
It’s not like I didn’t care from the beginning.
Everyone lives happily.
In the underground paradise called Hell.
Everyone is pursuing happiness.
Even if I’m not there.
“Ha. Thank you “For helping me.”
The evil spirits touched my back.
Their energy is conveyed.
I know.
From now on, really.
That no one will help me.
Because it has already gone beyond what the gods can do.
This is a fight between a world and the Creator who creates and destroys that world.
“The Prophet’s puppet. Come out. “You were watching.”
Soon the air split and a being with an unrecognizable face walked out.
That guy is the last.
