Chapter 417 – Season 2) Epilogue
…
…
…
In the calm silence, Yuria slowly regained consciousness.
At first, in a static state where she couldn’t even think, slowly, very slowly, something like a small noise began to arise, and Yuria began to become aware of herself.
Little by little.
Very slowly.
It was only after a considerable amount of time had passed since she first became conscious that Yuria became fully aware of herself.
-Are you conscious?
Yuria focused her consciousness on the sound that came to her consciousness.
It was only then that Yuria was able to fully realize her condition.
Only her soul remained, residing in the cedar tree that was the center of her wall.
Last moment. After realizing that the essence of her power is the force of gravity, she converts her mass into energy by gravitationally collapsing the materials that made her up to unleash her maximum power, which she can do with the meager strength she has left. He ordered it to explode.
I don’t know what happened after that, but most of the demons who didn’t succeed in quickly resisting physical resistance or avoiding causality probably died.
-Detecting thought reactions. I will report on the current situation. She has moved to the designated dimension, but it is not yet possible to confirm whether she has arrived properly. As soon as we moved, we started sending emergency rescue signals according to the designated protocol.
– Baek Kyung’s current condition is not very good. Since the energy called Mana is not permitted here, the Dragon Heart stops. The only energy source is the psychic energy stored in my and Moby Dick’s hull, and in order to last as long as possible, all functions except for maintaining the Master’s existence and sending emergency rescue signals are stopped.
After hearing her artificial spirit’s report, Yuria understood to some extent why she was in this state.
Now that neither her body nor her brain are left, and even her soul is in an intact state and is being preserved just for survival, her computing power has no choice but to be allocated the computing power of the cedar tree, which is in sleep mode in order to save as much energy as possible. It was a state.
Even the entire computing power of the Cedar Tree could not be used. As the Cedar Tree was in sleep mode, minimizing the computing power, and carrying out the mission he had ordered, only the very small amount of surplus computing power remaining was the quota for his thinking.
The sigyn passed.
How much time has passed? In some ways, it may be a good thing because the extremely low thought response was not enough to even feel the feeling of being bored, but the current situation was not that good.
Reports from artificial spirits gradually became more negative.
If this is not my hometown.
Or if it’s your hometown, but you can’t find yourself.
What if, by chance, the government, which doesn’t think well of itself, deliberately ignores its rescue signals?
In that case, her own existence would disappear like this.
As time passed, the remaining psychic energy diminished.
-The remaining psychic energy is enough for the next two days. If you stop sending out rescue signals even now, you can earn more for one day.
Yuria just remained silent at the spirit’s words.
If the rescue team was coming even now, the interruption of the signal was dangerous.
Finding oneself in the vast space called space without any signal was a problem worse than finding a needle in a sandy beach.
No, more than that, the cessation of the signal also meant that he was dead, so he might have given up on the search.
If there is no rescue team, will I give up on calling and continue this useless life for just one more day?
Or will we somehow hold on to the hope for a rescue team of which we have had no news until now?
Yuria was worried, but in the end she decided to hold on to hope even if it meant living one less day.
Tick tock.
It feels like I can hear the movement of a watch that isn’t even there.
As time passed, I felt like my remaining life was drying up and disappearing.
One hour, two hours.
And before she knew it, she started counting the remaining time, not the time that had passed.
It was like a countdown.
10 hours. 9 hours. 8 hours.
As time went by, Yuria had almost reached the stage of resignation, with only an hour left.
I think it’s over now.
Yuria also began to feel sorry for her artificial spirit.
If this time passed, the spirit would also disappear from existence along with the death of the cedar tree.
-It was an honor to be with you all this time.
Yuria quietly closed her eyes at the artificial spirit’s words.
Even though she couldn’t even close her eyes, she was emotionally ready to accept her eternal rest.
Giiiiing ─
Pot! Parbat! Pot!
Actually no sound. There was no effective feeling, but Yuria’s soul felt as if it had that feeling.
The ship, which had been in ultra-sleep mode with almost all functions except for maintaining existence and sending rescue signals due to lack of psychic energy, came back to life and began to feel many things.
“Oh my god, boss! What is this!?”
“What happened! The higher-ups only said that the captain was dead, but such a primitive survival port… 」
With an endless supply of psychic energy, Yuria’s presence greatly expanded.
Although she did not perceive it through her eyesight, Yuria, who had only maintained a weak sense of thinking, suddenly had her thinking ability greatly expanded and began to perceive information around her.
“Colon? What on earth is this!!”
“What on earth is this? What on earth happened!?”
Her subordinates’ concerns and astonishment were heard.
“Hurry up the medical system!”
“Captain, wait a moment! Right now… 」
Perhaps because Yuria was relieved that she had finally been rescued, she slipped and lost consciousness without realizing it.
It’s been decades since I fell through a dimensional gap.
She finally returned to her home.
When Yuria returned to consciousness, she did not feel like she had before, with only her soul remaining.
She didn’t feel limited in her thinking, and most of all, she felt more comfortable and refreshed than she had ever been on Earth.
But something feels subtly different.
“Oh?”
Ah. Ah?
It felt a little awkward somehow.
The first time I spoke in a new body after losing my body was that my voice seemed to have changed a little for some reason.
No, it wasn’t just that.
As Yuria moved her body around, squeezing and opening her hands and curling and straightening her toes, she felt many differences from her previous body.
It is simply that the body that died several times due to numerous events on Earth was forcibly brought back to life to maintain life, but it became tattered in many places and was adapted and trained according to the laws of the world, such as magic, and the transformation that occurred was reset. Even compared to my body before it fell to Earth in an accident, something was different.
How should I explain this?
Looking at her physical specifications alone, it feels like she has weakened, but she has actually become better in terms of balance.
A feeling that is more in tune with psychic energy.
On the contrary, when I thought about my original self, which had a weak body and only strong psychic abilities, I felt as if this current body was not the body that suited me.
Yuria, who had been looking at her condition for a while, quickly got up from her seat.
And in a strangely low-pointed situation, she smiled awkwardly without realizing it.
“What, what is this?”
Now that she thought about it, she thought that her current voice was different from her original voice, but when she thought about it, it was her own voice when she was still young and had not even grown up yet.
In the past, when she first met Loa, the tone of her voice was a little higher than her original appearance, but now it is even higher than that, and it goes beyond just that the tone of her voice has become higher.
There was also a change.
A voice that seems to have become cute in some way?
When I looked down at her chest, I noticed that it had a very slightly pointed feel, but it was almost flat.
Of course, it was covered in a liver suit.
In other words, it is a suit that feels like a light t-shirt and pants.
Originally, suits were tailored to suit each person, taking into account psychic abilities and other factors, but this suit is something that can be worn temporarily and in a hurry.
What should she do now? Yuria was in a daze for a moment, then she slapped her forehead with her palm.
It seemed like he was too tainted by the barbaric civilization of the other side.
She was at a loss for a moment as to what she was doing, but she soon got used to it and Yuria was able to access her system.
At the point when she had greater computing power than computers in the first place, humanity no longer needed to rely on terminals, and all she had to do was access and operate the system herself.
After accessing her system, Yuria learned that this was her own flagship, Methuselah.
Her own flagship using a black hole just below the highest level used for the home of her Human Innovation Federation.
Originally, it was a class of black hole that would have never been assigned to her outer fortress, let alone a ship like this, but it could be specially assigned to her own ship.
It was Yuria herself who discovered this in the first place, and she was the only person capable of controlling Methuselah equipped with the newly developed causal incineration system, so in a way, it was natural for her to do so.
“Ah, are you awake?”
“Yes”
They were subordinates I had met for the first time in a long time.
The subordinates seemed very cautious.
Well, that’s true too.
He is actually a living hero among his clan, recorded in the great man’s book.
If you narrow it down to the Korean region, you might think that you would have to combine King Gwanggaeto, King Sejong, Cheok Jun-gyeong, and Yi Sun-sin to get a similar feeling. He is a living legend who has achieved tremendous abilities and achievements.
At the time, I really didn’t have any thoughts or inspiration about it, so I didn’t feel anything, but when I think about it now, I guess it was a feeling that couldn’t be put into words when they saw me.
In addition, he was very young among his clan.
A young child who is not even 100 years old, alone in a world where most people take the age of 1000 years as a basic standard and even people who are thousands of years old are considered young.
Although he is recognized as an adult when he turns 20, he still feels like a child who needs to be protected in many ways.
How would they have felt if such a child had been gang-raped and humiliated so horribly that even the word “Horrible” Would not be enough, and had turned up in such a mess that it would have been better for her to die.
Above all, they would have seen it in their own soul.
A piece of soul mixed in among the broken and polluted souls.
It is a sign of marriage.
A great person you respect, but also the youngest person you want to look after.
Since such a child is said to have appeared after marriage, this too will inevitably cause complicated feelings.
「I’m back」
“Yes… 」
The emotions felt from their thoughts were very happy and welcoming, but also very sad, pitiful and bitter.
Since all she had left now was time, Yuria had many conversations with her subordinates.
What was the situation so far? And what is this body now? This and that and so on.
Among them, it is said that this current body is the result of research that has been conducted so far.
After researching why she had failed to create her own spare body and making numerous spare bodies, she finally succeeded in developing a spare body that suited her.
However, upon hearing the news of his death, the spare body developed was simply frozen and preserved without artificial growth. Still, as they tried to find at least traces of themselves, one day they caught a faint rescue signal and suddenly thawed the frozen completed spare body. It was said that he came running because he was told to do so.
She also said that she was heartbroken at the fact that if she had been just a little later, she would have perished.
And as for the situation here, after Yuria disappeared, the central government was growing in power, but now it seems to be shrinking.
But. She was considered a thorn in her eyes, but she deserved it because she came back alive.
While talking with her subordinates, the first thing Yuria did was summon Meta Aquos Taze.
As expected, she still had a pile of her supplies as it was her own flagship, and she ate the warm Meta Aquose Taise, swirling it around with the included fork.
“Uuuuuh ♡”
Okay! This is it!
I really missed this taste so much.
The sticky, thick sauce blended with the noodles to provide a unique, subtle texture and rich taste.
Yuria trembled, enjoying the feeling of dopamine exploding in her head, and her hair bounced along with it.
“Ah, Captain… Are you eating junk food again?”
“Why! What’s wrong with this?”
“Try something a little more expensive. “You can just ask a professional chef to cook it properly like before.”
Yuria was amused by her subordinate’s nagging and snorted.
This is this and that is that.
In the first place, this isn’t really junk food, and even if you eat poison, it won’t harm your body, so what’s going to happen if you eat some junk food?
Of course, it is true that Metaaquize Taze is a cheap ready-to-cook food.
Yuria doesn’t only eat this every single meal, and since it’s close to Yuria’s little hobby, she doesn’t want to hear her nag about it.
“Do you know the joy of eating soul food for the first time in decades? Please stop nagging me at this very moment.”
「Keuhum」
Thoughts that became quiet for a moment.
Yuria was quickly absorbed in eating Meta Aquose Taise.
Rather, kids. Please don’t be so gloomy…
It’s been a long time since I’ve been eating happily, but you guys can’t just like it…
In the end, the long-awaited gourmet meal ended on a bitter note.
