Chapter 441 – Prohibition and Taboo (6)
There are seven major taboos in this world.
As the Earth of many dimensions overlapped, the world became a mess with the people, mana, and other things that came over as a result.
This was because there were places that were especially ruined.
Anyway, it would be nice to say that it feels like the world government has designated a place as an unsuitable place for people to live and is strictly managing it.
Here, humans mean all races, including dragons.
Anyway, it must have been hit by dozens of nuclear weapons throughout the overlapping dimensions, and it is drenched in radiation, all kinds of curses from the thoughts of those who passed away there, and even mana, an unknown energy that is involved in living things, phenomena, and everything else.
A place where countless coincidences and conditions overlap to create a land of the dead where the dead are resurrected as zombies… Not even just as zombies, but as mutant zombies whose flesh is tangled and tangled with each other.
Considering that the upper part of the peninsula where my land is located, which is now crowded with newly immigrated demons, is a place one level below the Geumyeok, which cannot even enter the seven major Geumyeoks, how many of these seven major Geumyeoks are there? You will know if it is like hell.
Well, it wasn’t just a forbidden area, it was also a place controlled and managed by the world government.
Anyway.
At the request of Justitia, which was not a request, the place the dragons headed to was one of the seven forbidden places.
The changes brought about by countless worlds overlapping and overlapping again could not be ended simply by adding them.
In the future I saw, the victims who unluckily overlapped… And met a terrible end were merely the result of facing a ‘less terrible’ future in that sense.
Of course, it was an unfortunate accident that he accidentally collided with a building, something… Or a monster that was at the same coordinates and died, but it was only an unfortunate accident for him.
In reality, it was a case of being ‘alive’ despite the overlap.
Of course, even if they survive, the majority end up just being idiots and just surviving… But there were also cases where some ended up giving birth to another disaster.
And, the majority of prohibitions originated from such ‘disasters’.
In almost all worlds… Unless it is a world that has been devastated to the point of horrendous destruction by an apocalypse where the world is completely burned down, this is the coordinate where a lush forest exists.
A place where there were many creatures that happened to exist at the same coordinates and had a high chance of ‘surviving’ even if they were combined and overlapped a bit more than ordinary creatures.
The Amazon, one of the seven major regions of the world, was such a place.
The lush forests survived even as they overlapped and overlapped each other.
The mutant trees that survived caused even more terrible evolution in this world that was oversaturated with mana.
If it were a person, it could be seen as the Gift awakening.
As a result of the Gift receiving oversaturated mana, part of its body mutated.
However, unlike the human gift that comes from desire, the gift that the mutant plant obtained was a gift based solely on instinct.
Creature’s instinct.
So, a gift that is very faithful to survival.
It was as if the mutant trees had awakened to such a gift.
Maybe it’s because they’re plants, but even if there are slight differences, they all seem to have awakened to similar gifts.
And, the result was forbidden.
Even if numerous fire-type wizards and sorcerers burn down the mutant forest, it will grow back and recover in just a few days.
Even if it is physically destroyed, it will be restored in just a few days.
A major forest that is restored as if it were a natural occurrence, even if it is a seed and nothing is left behind.
Of course, if I had made it this far, it wouldn’t have been banned.
Wouldn’t it have been better utilized as a source of infinite supply of wood?
Even though its proportion has decreased significantly compared to before, wood is still a resource with many uses.
But, of course, it didn’t stop there, so it was banned.
Trees, which were born by coincidence and were no longer common plants, adapted and evolved to survive ‘instinctively.’
As a result, they swallowed up the countless wizards and sorcerers who had burned, crushed, and roasted them.
No joke, I really ate it up.
Grab it with its roots, grab it and drag it into the ground.
It was as if they had excluded the enemy that interfered with their survival.
Anyway.
What was originally a large forest has expanded dozens of times… A land that has become a paradise for plant monsters.
Even if you kill, even if you die, you will be resurrected…
Thanks to wizards and sorcerers, the forest has adapted and evolved, resulting in all the trees possessing horrendous ‘magic resistance’.
Now, some of the dragons who flew to the area called the ‘Evolving Great Forest’ at Justitia’s request returned within a few days.
-I have found the border of the dimension you mentioned…, Princess.
I don’t know what happened in those few days, but unlike when I first saw her, she looked very gaunt… That’s what the red-haired beauty said.
Seeing the dragon look like that in just a few days… It must have been really hard.
Damn it, there was no way it wouldn’t have been hard.
One of Justitia’s requests was to find the border before the ‘swords’ sent by the world government arrived.
Based on what I saw, it would have been an incredible amount of trouble to find the ‘swords’ that would arrive within a week before they arrived.
So, the dragon probably looked like that in just a few days.
I see that the area under my eyes is dark and puffy…
It reminded me of the group of graduate students I saw when I was in college.
After being pushed out by a higher-ranking race called professors, I wonder why I see a dragon with red hair right in front of me who is doing crazy things like loving or abusing green cockroaches on the street…
And.
“Yes, thank you. “Then… I’m going there, so can you open the door?”
Why is it that Justitia, who calmly tells the dragon, who can clearly see that he is extremely tired, to open the space transfer door connected to Geumyeok, which is incredibly far away from here, overlaps with the professor who was leading the graduate students to the lab room.
Just, if there’s anything else.
-As the princess wishes.
Unlike the graduate students who looked like they were being dragged into hell, the dragon smiled brightly despite his sunken eyes and opened the door with joy.
Ugh…
Looking at the space transference door that had opened before her eyes, Justitia shrugged her shoulders and said.
“Okay then, shall we go?”
Anyway, we arrived at the place where the dimensional gap that the dragons found was…
To be exact, Karura, Aileya, Sati, and Hongryeon were left out for safety reasons.
And when everyone except Ariad, who could not come because the distance was too far from the World Tree, arrived, the open space transfer door closed.
“Yeah, well… We’ll do it from here, so you can all go back.”
–But, princess. If something happens to the princess…
While he was still exhausted, the red-haired dragon, whose complexion had even turned pale because he had opened the portal that crossed a huge distance from a place called Geumyeok, said that in response to Justitia’s words.
“Yeah, well. “What do you think will happen to me?”
As Justitia shrugged her shoulders, she could no longer continue her words and fell silent.
Well, except for the five people who couldn’t come here for one reason or another, everyone in the Hanzo family came together.
That means that Lilith, the ‘Empress,’ Hoaran, the ‘Heavenly Tiger,’ and Xiao, the ‘Heavenly Demon,’ also came.
Not only that, but Carmina also came…
Justitia, who was staring at the red-haired dragon right away, was also one of the twenty-two heroes called the ‘Death Dragon.’
It is true that dragons are a race so powerful that each and every one of them is called a demigod.
He wasn’t really a demigod.
Right away, the dragon whose eyes had become puffy under his eyes was merely a ‘long-lived ancient dragon’ and did not have any sense of divinity.
Maybe…
If it were one-on-one, wouldn’t I be able to win somehow?
Even I, who is not even on the border of transcendence and is merely a superhuman with some divinity in it, thinks that way.
As many as five transcendental beings were here.
With this party, it seemed like it would be more difficult for anything to happen no matter how forbidden it was.
At last…
-As the princess wishes.
He lowered his head and looked at the dragons leaving.
“Was it really necessary to send it?”
“I would have been more tired in many ways if I was next to you. “Everyone is very overprotective.”
I thought it was because he said he would do as he wanted, but kept glancing at me until he backed off.
But I understood.
Justitia’s great-grandfather… I guess he’s someone I’ve seen before, and he’s someone the dragons worship as a god.
The great-granddaughter, Justitia, was naturally a cause for concern.
By the way…
“…It’s not as big a deal as I thought, right?”
It is prohibited.
Although I didn’t see it in person, I saw that they were promoting it on a large scale and making false promises about ‘conquering the Great Forest’, only to end up giving away hundreds of high-ranking wizards and sorcerers as fertilizer for mutant trees.
But, considering it’s a place like that…
It felt like a rather large and dense forest, but there was nothing special about it.
So, without thinking much, I tried to touch the tree next to me.
Hoaran’s tail next to me caught my hand before it reached the tree.
“It’s not good to mess with the trees here.”
“…Is it that dangerous?”
“That’s not it. But… It’s sure to be a lot of trouble. “If they see us as a ‘threat’ to them, they will try to exclude us in some way.”
“It’s just like Hoaran said. “They might evolve ‘in some way’ when they see us, so it’s better not to mess with them.”
Following Hoaran, even Justitia said so and decided to remain quiet.
“But, yeah. If you come to a place like this… And hide in the gap between dimensions. “It’s clear that the things here are things they definitely want to hide… Or, they want to protect.”
Justitia spoke while looking at the gap in the dimension that the dragons found.
Certainly he was too.
The place I visited last time… Was a place where no one came because zombies were popping out, so I didn’t know that these bastards might be hiding in this way in the other 7 Geumyeoks as well.
Even so, unless you know the ‘coordinates’ at least roughly, it would be impossible to find it by grinding and rolling dragons like this time.
To that extent…
If possible, I hope what we find here will be enough to kill those bastards.
While thinking like that.
I looked at Justitia’s swollen arms, saying, “Woe to me.”
The dragon’s huge hand, covered in blue scales, got stuck in the gap that had opened.
Blah blah blah.
By grasping and opening, the gap between dimensions opens up.
And…
“Forest, this is it.”
Last time it was a cave, but this time, what was visible beyond the border of the opened dimension was a forest with lush trees.
That too…
“…It’s a very pretty forest.”
Like Hoa-ran’s muttering, it wasn’t as scary or scary as I thought, but it was still different from the surrounding area full of weird-looking trees.
The forest beyond was so beautiful that it was similar to the Fox Forest, Hoaran’s territory.
