Chapter 887 – Heatwave and Reunion (5)
***
Tap, tap…
Lightning burned the plains.
It was me who suppressed Surt’s mana. In a dream, you can train and simulate without any burden. It is a dream training ground for wizards.
“It’s almost time and mind and room. Time flows normally.”
“Bad! Bad!”
As I muttered while checking my newly acquired skills, Brunak, who had been withdrawn, flew in with a fuss. It was because my new technology was so powerful.
“Memorize it properly. Because in real life, you have to help.”
“It’s bad.”
Reproducing Surtur’s authority failed.
I understood the principles after dying dozens of times, but if I could say I knew everything, I would have become a pro gamer before I came to this world. The reality was not so rosy.
‘There is also
And unexpected effects were also obtained. I let out a long breath.
Oh oh oh-.
The White Crow, Professor Slayer, drew miscellaneous mana from my soul.
The white sun of the inner world spit out by the professor slayer seemed a little more muddy than what I had seen before, which is understandable given the process of accumulating this old god’s mana.
‘Because I absorbed so much here and there.’
My mana was, so to speak, a soup with soup. This means that the purity is low.
It’s not bad, but now that the quantity is sufficient, it’s time to pay attention to the quality. I condensed mana as if arranging a disorderly developed city block.
“Sueuuuuu… “
Accept it into your body and melt it with Surt’s mana.
Like a flame reaction experiment, the glowing fire blew away the mana impurities. After bulking up, I change my mana neatly with the feeling of cutting flab.
A weld between mana and magic!
Like fusion Korean food, it was a skill that combined different abilities. I activated the Aura Fist on my palm. My mana turned into an aura, then into lightning.
“This will be pretty useful.”
After briefly assessing the power gained from acquiring Surt’s mana, I turned on my clairvoyance.
With Brunak’s help, I looked around the world with one eye. It was an amazing detection ability, but it was something that could have been done with the old relics of the New Kingdom of the Elves. There is no way I can’t do it.
‘Though it’s impossible to find something by rule-of-thumb without clues.’
Magical satellite maps also have disadvantages, but these are disadvantages that can be overlooked at this time.
I looked around a few points around the world and found it faster than I thought.
No, since it was the place I wanted to check from the beginning, it might not come as a surprise.
‘Garden island of bicorns.’In the past, five pillars that we have not seen stand tall on the island where we enjoyed recreation.
Beating, beating, beating…
The towers, which become arrogant when the vertices are connected, pulsated with an organic texture like living things. When I slightly averted my eyes, I could see five strangers from the new tribe.
I looked at the dark green tower. If not destroyed at the same time, it seemed to regenerate in an instant.
“It was an improvised operation that came out after a failure. You’ll have to see how useful it will be.”
I mumbled and swung my arms. The emitted aura hit the shadow of the person who was there.
The body of someone hiding his presence exploded. I even spoke to the swamp-like green mass that splattered like paint.
“You lack consideration. When a beautiful woman appears in a married man’s dream, our wives vomit.”
“You are quite proud. He who spies us from afar.”
“Because that island is the villa of my maternal and mother’s relatives. Trespassing on private property carries the death penalty under bicon local rules.”
The shadow that had burst like paint came back to life. She is a woman with long black hair.
It is a beautiful woman who wears a wide-open dress and covers her breasts with four palms. Her eyes were covered with an eyepatch, but her figure had enough intimidation to be regarded as a noble being like a god or an angel.
If it wasn’t me who was here, but an ordinary person.
“Looks like it’s a parthenogenetic byproduct of Henir’s offspring.”
It had noticed that I was observing the garden island, and had squeezed into my dream.
Unfortunately, it’s an alter ego, so even looking at it through Odin’s eyes, I don’t know how much of an enemy the main body is.
The blind god with four arms opened his mouth.
“Mercis. It is a tool of Lord Shin, born with the spirit to stop you.”
“Did you give up on increasing the number of creeds and gather tens of thousands of energies to create five? A guy who hates humans is making good use of human powers.”
“God-gun-nim almost grasped your authority, and created me to block that insidious gaze. That is why I came to this unpleasant space.”
It is a conversation like a collective monologue. It was because he knew that he was not an opponent to be persuaded by words.
“Future foreknowledge that invests all its abilities in observing the short future and changing the future. By the way you act, you wouldn’t be able to see that far into the future.”
Said a blind woman named Merkis.
“As powerful as it is, the flaws are clear. For you, your foreknowledge and future will change as expected. So as long as the ‘nearest disaster’ you face remains, you cannot see another future.”
Was he convinced after seeing the activities in the War of Wealth?
I didn’t answer, but it was true.
It was the same during the subjugation of Wooshin and Surtur, but the wisdom I see is not absolute. Since I am the one who changes my destiny, my vision of the future is fragmentary.
Long story short, I don’t know what ‘happens after foreknowledge is blocked’.
It was also the decisive reason why I did not blindly believe in authority.
“Defeating the flame vampire, the old ruler Surt, must also be part of the power. Therefore, I intend to blind that irritating eye from you.”
Merkis opened his arms.
Brilliant light pulsated from the jewel, and my eyes bathed in the brilliance saw a fragment of the future along with noise. The appearance of the garden island exploding with a pillar of fire soaring.
Embarrassed, I burst out laughing.
“Crazy. It’s not a villain from a special film for elementary school students, it was made by hitting a self-destruct switch.”
This deity called Merkis was a living bomb.
It was a human bomb that exploded all over the island with mana drawn from the root of the world tree.
“These are poor, pitiful, 0-month-old babies. Like a fertilized egg of Tolgei, I’ve gone out of my mind. Being born with a brain disorder is not a sin, but it is not an indulgence either.”
I cursed with a displeased expression.
‘The fact that I can see the island exploding means that I sincerely explode the island even if I don’t come. Even if they end up eating their plans with their own hands.’
If it was just bluffing and fakes, there would be no way foreknowledge to be activated.
Believing that I would catch that madness by the collar and stop it, I was really thinking of killing myself.
A plan like throwing oneself off a cliff with certainty of the future.
The feeling of déjà vu when Henir first stepped into the throne made his tongue tingle.
“Even the greatest prophet——even the god Odin and the ‘Lord of the Deep’ could not observe all the possible possibilities. Now you have two choices left.”
Merkis again covered the island with his hand.
“To find and kill me somewhere on the island. Or, to avoid an explosive future, watch Shingun’s work from outside the island.”
“It’s a question not worth considering.”
“I guess so.”
I pointed to the island sullenly.
It’s not that he didn’t feel sorry for Merkis, who followed the bastard who told him to go after him, but that feeling was as light as a feather when weighed against the safety of his family.
“It is still far from the end of mana extraction. You just need to get your feet wet before you get enough explosive power to blow up the island. Then you will see the full extent of your true plan.”
What I do doesn’t change
It was also Henir’s true purpose, covered by the madness bluff.
The process to the conclusion was twisted here and there, but in the end, it is a decisive battle that does not escape from guesses.
“Don’t go see me soon. Take off that bursting heart and apologize directly to my wives for popping out in other people’s dreams.”
“… Madman.”
“Don’t be so. Lord Neg, who is running away from that madman, will be ashamed to hear it.”
Infested Asher, who was trying to be polite to his godly nemesis, uttered a curse and disappeared. I giggled and turned my head.
The scenery of the island was shrouded in darkness. It blocked the clairvoyance.
Excluding Henir, it is an island with 6 god seats. He had to have that kind of ability.
“Bad!”
Brunak cried. The question is, are you going to fight?
I corrected her question a bit, affirming it.
“No, I’m going to sort out unfinished problems.”
It seemed that he would soon be able to keep his promise to play with Brunak all day long.
I won’t say it in words because it would be a bad foreshadowing if I put it in her mouth.
Waking up from my dream, I called my wives.
After resting enough, the girls who were waiting for the fight nodded silently, and the bicorns came to send us to the island.
They looked anxiously at Loki in the group and said.
“Nord. If possible, we… “
“I will decline if you ask me to go with you, but I have a job for you guys to do.”
I pulled out two letters. It was written in a hurry, so it was written in poor handwriting, and there were many parts that were rewritten after squeaks, but I engraved runes to prove my identity.
– Basrak.
I grinned as I handed the letter to Bicorn, who was supposed to be named Elka, and who was about to become Veronica’s next seer.
“Think of something to feed Loki. It won’t take too long.”
“… Yeah!”
Loki, whose complexion turned pale at the healthy answer, gave a hard laugh. The bicorns cast spells and set the coordinates of the magic circle we were standing on to the sky of Garden Island.
He looked with his clairvoyance and chose a place with no barriers.
Immediately after several wands flashed, connecting space farther than one continent.
Whii-i-i-!!
We pulled out of the light with headwinds hitting us in the face above the island.
And a wave of power emanated from the bottom.
“Come right away! Under! Beasts born with the power of Pales!”
At Lalilura’s cry, Veronica cast a spell. It was disgusting to see the gigantic wings swarming on the ground wriggling in groups.
“Ccccccccc… !!”
Things like half-humans and half-birds with long limbs and skins larger than humans flocked to the sky.
The beasts pouring from the gods wrapped in floating scrolls seemed to have multiplied the scene of the mother dying and the baby spiders attached to her back pouring out tens of thousands of times.
─Pud de de de de deuc!!!
Birds flying in a column like a single piece of flesh!
“I never thought I would put up numbers against a wizard. It’s pathetic for a first move.”
It was when Veronica’s flame magic, muttering cynically, was about to hit it.
“Haaaaa”
─Kurrureureung!!
With an earth-shaking roar, the giant jumped up and offset the flames with her fists.
The wind of Tyrsi helped them land. The big man who landed on the ground was a god with plants growing from his body. The smell of alcohol-ripened pulp wafted from the guy whose leaves grew like hair.
The alluring handsome man giggled whether or not I frowned at his cheesy appearance.
“I thought they would come in groups, but they were more upright than I thought.”
“Don’t be alarmed. I’ll finish it without Shin-kun frowning at the noise.”
The god who wrapped the scroll around his body and floated it said.
I could feel the presence of other gods in the trees and shade of the silent and hot island.
Should I say Henir’s elite soldiers? They are like the ‘prime god and his first-generation descendants’ that are often found in mythology. If those bastards win, I thought it would look good even if they left their names in the creation myth.
“… Powers similar to those of Veronica?”
“This may be correct, but don’t compare it to me. You feel pretty bad.”
Veronica frowned as Nefertiti muttered.
Those guys inherited Henir’s six powers, just like my relationship with Veronica.
The trio of gods I defeated in 1Q had only learned martial arts through the power of enlightenment. It’s an industrial product like instant cup ramen, but if it’s an aggregation of powers, it’s a pretty strong enemy.
The god who grew plants on his body said while growing flowers in his hands.
“Now, lowly human goddesses clinging to one man. Draw a picture that will fill a page of the times with your blood that will flow here today with ink—”
The young plant, which had been throwing a friendly provocation, changed its face color and threw itself.
A sword the size of a building that Dana had thrown out was placed on top of the bastard’s head.
“Turn it off!!”
Like the other gods, it reacted quickly, but the sword of light did not slow down enough to miss its target. A sacred necklace glowed from Dana’s neck.
“I’m most annoyed with guys who talk a lot without being able to tell me clearly. In graduate school, there was no one who really knew what to do with those guys.”
Saying no, Dana exploded the light mana contained in her sword.
Light’s mana contained heat instead of healing power, and exploded the air and hot soil.
Kwah-!!!!
The brief and intense explosion announcing the start of the war was fleeting.
We collided, shattering the island’s natural environment.
