Chapter 591 – Farm Story: Vespin Town
As the fog has dissipated quite a bit, Seong-il, dumbfounded, walks inside as if possessed.
“Oh…”
A spacious plaza that can be seen when Seongil enters the interior. Seong-il could see a leaf-shaped piece floating in the air in the middle of the place.
“What is that…?”
In the game, however, when a strange item he has never seen before appears, Seong-il examines it with a very interested expression.
‘Come to think of it, it looks like a magic circle is spreading around that piece of leaf…’
The situation exactly as it was expressed on the holy day. Beneath the floating pieces of leaves were intricately drawn figures and runes densely engraved.
‘That’s… A new statue…?’
And based on the magic circle, there are several statues made in a style similar to the goddess of harvest. Based on previous experiences, Seong-il feels that it is a statue that symbolizes God.
‘There are many types…?’
Humanoid statues such as male and female figures, as well as statues that looked like other races such as fairies, giants, and spirits.
‘This game… Wasn’t it a world where only humans lived except for Kukuru? There were no different races at all…?’
Even, in the farm story world, the power of magic was a secret power that only the main character of this game could come into contact with intermittently, and for ordinary people, magic was just an absurd fiction that only appeared in novels.
‘The world of Farm Story is like a normal human world before the aliens invaded, so what kind of fantasy worldview…?’
Feeling confused, Seong-il cautiously steps towards the leaves. That’s when he reached the nearest goddess statue.
“Kuk!!”
Although it looks very similar to the Goddess of Harvest, the more mature statue of Mount Yeo begins to emit intense light towards Seong-il.
“Big…”
Seong-il, who was struck by an unexpectedly strong light, slowly opens his eyes with a frown on his face.
“…Where is this!?”
On Seong-il, he suddenly feels that he is floating high in the sky. Embarrassed, he strongly sprays emotions around him to figure out the situation.
“Ah… Is this an illusion?”
Seong-il, who feels a power similar to Hwanghae Jin-gyeong, realizes that he has entered some kind of fantasy space. The time when he was relieved and thinking about how to get out of the illusion.
The peaceful sky suddenly begins to darken.
“…What is this again?!”
Seong-il is taken aback by the sudden change. In the meantime, something starts to fall from the darkened sky with a roar.
“That’s…”
The appearance of a fairly familiar object. It looks very similar to the meteor that Seongil smashed while holding Arunrabe a while ago.
‘…If it grows dozens of times from the meteorite I broke.’
The size of a meteorite of ridiculous size. Even if a meteorite I had seen before hit the world, it wouldn’t have been strange for the world to perish.
Aaaaang!!!
A meteorite of formidable size falls to the vast land, and a huge explosion begins with a roar. And the darkening sky.
Shoot aaaaa…!!
A huge tsunami rises and covers the world, and an earthquake tears the ground apart. As a result, living things die in an instant.
‘It’s fucking awful…’
Seong-il frowns at the sight of almost all living things dying like ants in an instant.
‘…Still, there are a few living people there?’
Surprisingly, quite a few lives survived in this terrible apocalypse situation. They struggle to pick each other up on an island where the damage is less.
Patter…
In the meantime, black raindrops fell from the blackened sky.
‘…Curse?’
The power of black raindrops with a wavelength similar to the curse Seongil felt while facing a meteorite.
When it touches the ground, the green plants that are still alive begin to rot in an instant, and animals and people either lose their vitality or fall ill.
‘Hmm…?!’
While watching the terrible scene, Seong-il feels that the curse is absorbing life force and sending it somewhere.
“Did the meteorite… Suck the life force?”
Seong-il realizes that when living beings are cursed and dying, they are absorbing the life force flowing out of the meteorite.
『Goddess… Have mercy and save your lamb…』
The earnest prayers of those who survived. Surprisingly, not long after their prayers reached the sky, the black sky split, and there, beings similar to the gods of stone statues began to descend to the ground.
‘…Were the gods really existing?!!’
Seong-il realizes that the stone statues he saw before were not simple idols, but real gods.
In the meantime, the gods who have descended begin to purify the black curse and stabilize the torn earth and sky in order to save the surviving lives.
“Kooooo!!”
Meanwhile, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed from the black sky. Soon after, a huge dragon made of shadows and black mist appears from the sky and starts attacking the gods.
A formidable battle. The gods and the giant dragon begin a fierce battle by projecting terrifying power to each other beyond recognition on the holy day.
‘He was more crazy than I thought?’
A gigantic dragon that fights the gods like a madman, projecting tremendous power. However, the gnome is not yet born yet, so he eventually starts to be pushed back little by little by the gods who have given their all.
“You can’t fight like this.”
In the midst of that, a voice came out of the mouth of a god out of nowhere.
‘… Are you winning? Why?’
While Seong-il is puzzled by the unexpected god’s words, another goddess agrees with him.
“Is it so. If we fight like this, even if we subdue the Dragon of the End, all the remaining lives on this earth will die in the waves of battle.”
‘Was that dragon’s name the Dragon of the End?’
Realizing the reason why they shouldn’t fight like now, the gods begin to attack the dragon more wildly and destructively.
“…So you’re trying to get along with each other. To project maximum power to quickly subdue the Dragon of the End and reduce the damage…”
Seong-il, who was able to grasp the situation sensitively thanks to his reaction, realizes why they fight well and then try to fight more extreme.
‘…Still, the sacrifice worked.’
The appearance of the gods whose energy has become extremely weak after a long fight. However, the Dragon of the End suffered more serious injuries than that.
‘Did the dragon fall behind?’
It is not unreasonable to say that the body of the dragon made of black curses was almost torn. However, surprisingly, the Dragon of the End survived in the form of a spiritual body and was enduring tenaciously.
『It is impossible to kill the Dragon of the End. Let’s turn back his time and seal it after making it weak.』
In response to one god’s opinion, the rest of the gods agreed, then consumed their respective essences to reverse the dragon’s time and return it to its original form.
“Ah, that’s why the black sphere…”
Seong-il is horrified when he realizes the identity of the black sphere. Surprisingly, it seemed to be the beginning of the dragon that destroyed the world.
“…Did you come down from the sky in the form of a meteorite, destroy the world, and suck your life force to become like that?”
When he realizes the identity of the black sphere he has captured, Seong-il feels a chill in his spine. Although now sealed and weakened, he realized that this black orb was once mighty enough to destroy the world.
‘Fuck… Is it okay to have this?!’
While Sung-il is embarrassed, the battered gods begin digging a deep hole in the sacred island at the center of the world.
‘Is that why there was a mine?’
Seong-il suddenly realizes why there is an underground mine with ancient magic on Aqua Island.
While he is lost in thought, the gods bury the sphere, pour all the remaining divinity essence into the lower layer, and create a seal.
‘It’s disappearing…’
Perhaps it was because of excessive divinity consumption, the appearance of the gods were extremely weakened. Seong-il feels that their lives are short.
『Although we will perish, our bodies will remain and restore this world.』
After that, the gods sacrificed everything, including the last remaining essence and body, to create something.
“…A piece of leaf.”
A piece that is familiar even to Seongil’s eyes. Seong-il realizes that the piece he saw before is a kind of divine object created by the deceased gods by integrating their bodies and essences.
‘Oh… The power that comes out of the leaves absorbs curses or pollution and purifies them? It also creates spirits to restore destroyed nature…’
Seong-il realizes that the gods are trying to save the world by sealing the dragon of the end with their souls and making leaves with their dying bodies.
『Even though we will perish, our will will remain and will transform into a new being in the future.』
Gods who expend all their strength of soul and body and disappear. They gather the remaining essence of each other in one place, make it into one seed, and put it into a sacred pond created by projecting divine power.
“…The goddess of the harvest.”
Seeing the scene, Seong-il realizes that the remaining goddess of harvest is the joint successor of the now extinct gods.
In the meantime, the fantasy in front of my eyes begins to flow rapidly. In the meantime, the pieces of leaves begin to purify the world little by little and restore the world. Thanks to that effort, eventually people start to live on various islands, and civilization begins to flourish little by little.
“…It’s over.”
And the fantasy ends. Seong-il realizes that she is back in the underground temple of the mine.
“…It’s so fucking embarrassing to know all the stories behind this game. That’s right…”
Seong-il, who unexpectedly learned all the secrets of her world, scratches her head and looks at a piece of leaf.
“Is that really a great item? A tremendous artifact that cleansed the curse of the dragon of the end and healed the shattered world.”
Thinking so, Seong-il carefully moves her steps toward the piece of her leaf so as not to damage her magic circle.
“Huh? You’re not active…?”
A piece of leaf that was apparently consuming and purifying curses a little while ago. However, while Seongil fell into fantasy, the sculpture rapidly lost its light and turned into an ordinary sculpture.
“Uh… Why?! What did I do wrong?!”
Thinking that she may have had an accident, Seong-il quickly projects the emotion onto the leaves with a puzzled expression.
“Ah… The world was completely restored, and the curse was completely extinguished because of me, so it’s no longer active?”
Fortunately, Seong-il breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes that the artifact is not damaged.
“I guess it’s a mechanism that activates when the curse spreads again. The magic circle was just for sealing meteorites…”
Seong-il, realizing that she did not have an accident, picks up a piece of leaf with a more relaxed expression.
『Leaf of Creation: 1 Million Points』
* Gradually restores the nature of a broken world.
* Purifies pollutants from a broken world.
* Provides a certain level of defense against magical and psychic disasters.
* However, if the nature is restored above a certain level, the activity will stop.
“Uh… Look at the point…”
Even though the performance is not bad, Seong-il is frightened, perhaps because the wicked point value is set.
“It’s not something I really need…”
A situation where he already has a garden of a goddess that terraforms the inner plane. Even, if he gets the spirit spring and strengthens Widgrasil this time, he can do terraforming faster and stronger with her help, so he doesn’t particularly covet the pieces.
“There’s a replacement… But there’s no need to spend 1 million points on an item with duplicate performance… Hmm?!”
At that time, Seong-il had such skeptical thoughts. Sensation tells him that this object is very important to him.
“…Is this important to me? Why?”
Confused Seong-il looks at the sculpture and wonders what the reason might be.
“Does it have other abilities? I don’t think it’s like that…”
No matter how much you think about it, how to use it doesn’t come to mind. There is a garden of a goddess in the inner plane, and if you bring it into reality, it is likely to be captured by aliens, so Seong-il looks really confused.
“…First of all, I have to carry it.”
In any case, it is an item that may be of great help to him, so Seong-il picks it up with a worried expression and leaves the temple.
