Chapter 401 – Foreknowledge (2)
I was in a strange mood, but it was best to be peaceful without any problems.
Maybe it’s because my life has been twisted here and there since I was born and I lived in a turbulent orphanage, but rather than a life full of thrills and adventures, I was an ordinary citizen with a desire to go forward for a long time.
My wives and I.
And the children who will be born between them.
It was enough for my family to live happily.
To do that, I work hard, save money consistently, and train to raise my level.
And, it was then.
Gurgling…!
The ground shook.
Since the place was different, at first I just thought it was an earthquake.
I originally knew that earthquakes often occur in this area.
But I soon found out that wasn’t the case.
Ugh, uuuuuing.
Belatedly, my smartphone lying next to me started vibrating so fucking much.
Due to the circumstances, my smartphone was used as a dispenser and as a strong dick to manage various customers… Now, it was divided into two, one that I entrusted to Sati and my personal smartphone that was vibrating and doing a poppin’ dance.
For reference, the only contacts on my personal smartphone were my wife’s and a few contacts from world governments.
Right now, my wives were enjoying sightseeing here and there with my alter egos one by one… Of course, my smartphone, which had no contacts from anywhere, didn’t vibrate like this.
Something just didn’t feel right.
It was even more so because when I was out of the house and playing, I was thinking that it would be nice to be peaceful, and even though I had been punished for the Hongryeon incident over the past few days, other than that, nothing much had happened.
I reached out, picked up the smartphone, and looked for the cause of the vibration.
And, I could see why.
“Wow… It’s a little bigger this time?”
It was a dimension crash.
Contrary to how sad it felt, it was a natural disaster that occurred in a place that had nothing to do with me.
But, it wasn’t anything serious.
It was a text message saying that dimension crashes were occurring simultaneously in over 30 locations.
“How long has it been since this?”
The last dimension crash happened two more times after the dimension crash that brought Carmina to this world.
It was a small-scale dimension crash with nothing special, just a few miscellaneous monsters and refugees.
However, this time the scale was large.
Moreover, dimension crashes occurring simultaneously in over 30 locations.
It might have been two years ago, but there were almost no multiple dimension crashes on this scale happening at the same time, so it felt like something was wrong.
However, it was not an uncommon case recently.
Two years ago… No, it’s almost three years now, I just happened to be fired from the job I was planning to make my lifelong career, and I was absent-mindedly listening to the news about the war breaking out at home.
At the same time, dimension crashes occurred in over a hundred locations.
Dimension crashes of that scale happened every day, and at first, there were many incidents of land suddenly expanding, buildings stacking up here and there, and even people collapsing and collapsing.
It’s so unlucky that the coordinates between dimensions overlap.
Accidents involving fusion and death occurred frequently at the time.
Of course, there were often cases of fusion not between people but between people and monsters, or between buildings.
The unfortunate incident of becoming a meal to a monster that fell right in front of you was even more common than that.
Compared to that, the current one was a nobleman.
This is also a dimension crash that occurred in a place where most people were not…
Because such incidents occurred, a warning system was put in place to detect and notify interdimensional vibrations, which are signs of a dimension crash, and because there were places for people to take refuge in the event of an incident like this.
If it weren’t for the Dimension Crash that happened in our neighborhood in the first place, it was the people living in this world who had reached a level that could have been overlooked.
Like Aileya, something ordinary that could be good news or an opportunity for some hunters.
It was such a thing that more and more people were dying from all sorts of accidents and traffic accidents that happened every day.
However…
Why does the back of my head hurt like this since a while ago?
I felt a tingling sensation and an unexplainable headache.
It hurt a bit too much to be a headache from using my alter ego too much.
Rather than itching from using my head too much, it felt like I was being stabbed from the inside.
Just when I thought I should have rested a little more.
I saw them.
A very brief moment.
However, that’s just the amount of time that actually passed, and the time I saw was much more than that.
A vision that passes by in the blink of an eye and is engraved in my mind as if I had suddenly witnessed it all myself.
“Ugh…!”
“Hoa?!”
I forced myself to swallow the nausea that rose up.
And, just to reassure Hoa, who was suddenly gagging on the back of his head and looking at me worriedly, I tried to pat Hoa’s head as usual.
Rattling…
My hands were shaking too much for that.
“Hoa…?”
“It’s okay, don’t worry.”
Still, I said that to reassure Hoa, who asked if I was okay.
Unfortunately, it seemed to be of no use at all.
“Slap,” Hoa’s small hand tapped my cheek.
When I looked at myself reflected in Hoa’s golden eyes that resembled Hoaran’s, I could see that my attempt to reassure Hoa was greedy.
My complexion became very bluish, and I could see my bluish face reflecting, similar to the zombies I sometimes kill when I’m bored.
No matter how well I tried to lie, it was too much to pretend like nothing was wrong.
“Hoaah.”
Slap, slap. Hoa keeps tapping my cheek.
Seeing Hoa like that made her feel a little calmer.
When she was being comforted by Hoa, who tried to reassure her…
Her wives returned.
Of course, he couldn’t vomit into the back of Hoa’s head, so he ended up gagging anyway, but all he could hold back was nausea.
Anything else.
So, there was nothing I could do about the effort I was putting into concentrating and maintaining my alter ego.
Of course, all the clones that were next to the wives had disappeared.
Since all the self-immolations had disappeared, it was only natural that the wives came to me immediately to ask what was going on.
“…What’s the matter?”
While I was eating ice cream from my clone, who was crying out loud, he suddenly disappeared. Lilith, who came back upset with ice cream on her cheek, saw my pale complexion and asked that question.
And when asked about that release, I said:
“No, that’s… I suddenly felt unwell… I’m sorry.”
“Do you feel sick? You?”
Thanks to Hongryeon, I gained the abilities of the Oni race and a strong body that was immune to most diseases. If I said I felt sick, it would have been a lie, but it would have been nonsense.
I had no choice but to say that.
Well, it was too absurd to say anything.
For a moment…
In reality, the scenes I saw in the blink of an eye were numerous deaths.
The city was on fire.
People are dying.
Monsters eat the dead.
The dead came back to life as monsters.
And, something I’ve never seen before…
No, if it existed, it would have ruined the world a long time ago.
A huge monster was destroying the world.
It seems as if they are planning to completely destroy the world that is already in chaos.
Every time the countless tentacles that sprouted from the giant monster’s body stirred, everyone, living and dead, was swept away.
The giant monster roared, its exhaled breath split the sea, and the split sea bubbled up.
There were grotesque scars all over his body, and red blood poured out from the countless eyes that bulged out between them, and the ground rotted and was covered in the blood that fell.
The problem wasn’t just the rampaging giant monster.
While the monster was running rampant, intent on destroying everything, the world continued to overlap with countless other worlds.
Suddenly, a forest rose above the corpses, and then again, buildings that looked like hideous objects rose above them.
They barely survived all the chaos and the rampaging giant monster, but in the meantime, the people who were lost in the world that overlapped each other struggled in pain, and with half of their bodies buried in a building, the overlapped person was eaten alive by the monster that came.
However, their suffering was short-lived.
The giant monster, which seemed to be trying to completely erase the entire world, immediately struck down the things that were overlapping and soaring up.
A repeat of the disaster that occurred in the past when the largest dimension crash occurred.
Although they were not the size of giant monsters, they were still very large disaster-level monsters, and monsters of that level created their own territories and ran rampant all over the world.
When many worlds overlap, and the civilization that has been built on all levels of worlds that have been built so far collapses due to the disaster.
In the meantime, it was a repeat of the times when they cried out for war among themselves.
No.
It was different even back then.
What was somehow suppressed back then could not be suppressed this time, making the disaster even more serious.
There was one reason.
When the world and everyone thought they were screwed.
Even before it became known, I had made it so that it wasn’t like that… There were people there at the time, but there were people who were not there in the terrible scene of the end that I saw.
“…Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”
Among the disasters I have seen, these are the people who have already saved the world from the brink of ruin once.
Twenty-two heroes did not exist.
Not only Lilith, but also Hoaran and Justitia here.
Although he is not here, the Cheonma, one of the twenty-two heroes I know, did not show his face in the disaster.
However, not all twenty-two heroes were there.
There were some familiar faces.
In the previous world, one of the twenty-two heroes named the Emperor, who had truly unified a third of the world, was cut in half at the waist and left to die.
More than a hundred famous women who were the emperor’s direct subordinates and his concubines… All of whom were known to have reached superhuman status, were hanging out with the emperor.
Not only that, but he was less famous than Cheonma… The twenty-two heroes from the Murim people, such as Geomseon and the leader, also died in miserable condition.
The people who appeared to be the forces they had created, such as the Murim Alliance or the cooperative, etc., Were all dead.
I didn’t know for sure, but looking at the people around him who had amazing-looking equipment, I thought there might be 22 more heroes among them that I just didn’t recognize.
However, these were all just meaningless assumptions.
Because they’re all dead.
The world I saw was a world with more dead people than living people.
