Chapter 941 – [Planet of the Beasts]
It wasn’t until the second day after we entered the sanctuary of the spirit that we were able to arrive at the most rugged volcano in the center of the volcanic zone.
I think it took only one day to arrive, but it’s because it broke through the shortest distance during that day. In the first place, the path the spirits gave us was the shortest distance because ordinary humans couldn’t use it, but it felt impossible rather than inconvenient to travel.
I also wanted to go back when I was told to pass through a place where the lava had hardened slightly to a black color and the heat was still coming out.
Anyway, the volcano that arrived boasted a considerable size. The soaring volcano showed no other signs of life, and only smoke and heat venting holes were visible.
I feel like Frodo and Sam on the mountain of doom. Where is the absolute ring!!!!
“Eden, is it okay to breathe?”
“Are you okay?”
“That’s good”
Because it is a volcano, gases that are toxic to humans come out, making the air a bit unhealthy. So I was worried about Eden, but it seems that there is no problem with him.
Perhaps thanks to the blessings of the Nature Road, harmful substances were decomposed in the body or did not work at all. Hey, even if our Eden is not all poison, it will be one hundred poison.
“Uhhh, the air is bad…”
“You’re still a normal cat. Wait a minute… Oh, that’s it.”
“Ohh!!! I suddenly got better!!!!”
I activated the metabolism of the kocat through the inner hole so that it could withstand the poisonous gas. The kitten won’t have any problems with this.
It’s not something to worry about in the first place. In the first place, it’s enough to swim in lava.
Anyway, we climbed the volcano and started to enter the volcano through the cave in the middle. At this point, I really feel like I’m going to destroy the absolute ring.
-Here it is!!!! Almost there!!!!
-Is he awake?
-Even if you are sleeping, that child will definitely wake up!!!!
-Huh, I hope I don’t get scolded for waking you up……
As the destination approaches, the spirits become noisy. As the place is a place, it is full of fire and earth spirits, but because of them, I was able to pass through the dark cave without any problems.
And the center of the innermost part of the volcano. I entered the crater that was still seething.
Is it roughly like this when Baekdu Mountain is infested with heaven and earth? In the huge crater, the lava bubbled and emitted acrid smoke. The heat was so hot that I wondered if it would ripen if I moved forward a little.
– Mr. Yerosto!!!! Lord Jesus!!!!
– A person who wants a contract is here!!!!
– He’s a very good boy!!!!!
Koo Goo Goo Goo!!!!
And with the sound of the spirits calling someone, the crater began to vibrate.
It was a vibration that made me wonder if a volcanic eruption was taking place. However, it was only when he saw the scene in front of his eyes that he realized that it was nothing more than the aftermath of a spirit stretching.
A gigantic bird spreads its wings and rises in the vast, deep seething lava.
It was red and hot enough to make me wonder if it was made of flame. The bird, so huge that this wide crater felt cramped, stood up and turned its head in this direction, ignoring the high-temperature lava flowing over its body.
[There were many people who wanted to sign a contract with me, but you guys are the first to come here in person.]
“…Other spirits say you’re the strongest among the fire spirits, right?”
[There may be a few other beings similar to me, but if you are a fire spirit, I can be proud of myself]
“Hoo”
To be honest, it’s beyond my imagination. I thought only one spirit could have this much power.
The power I felt from him was so huge that it was safe to say that he had the power of 1% of the Earth. I wonder if that’s a lot, but if it’s 1% of the planet Earth, it has a very huge power.
He gave me his gaze for a moment, then turned to Eden next to me.
[The person who will sign a contract with me is probably not you, but the little boy next to you.]
“Yes, that’s my daughter”
[I sense a familiar power in that child. Our mothers… No, there is something more than that. Besides, we don’t exist here.]
“Do you know?”
[That’s right, of course. It is more convincing that extinct humans came from somewhere else than that they survived]
………No, what now? Are humans extinct?
He began to hear the whispers of the spirits.
-Human? What is a human
-Isn’t it similar to Aif?
-Ah!!! I’ve never heard of it before!!!! It’s a species from a long time ago!
Even to small spirits, the name human seems unfamiliar. Even if they look like children, even if those spirits can’t do it, they’re beings who have lived for tens or hundreds of years.
No, but this was post-apocalyptic?
I just wanted to scream in front of the wreckage of the Statue of Liberty, but I got spoiled!!!!!
[Humans here destroyed themselves by their own power. They waged war with the weapons they made and destroyed them, eventually destroying themselves]
“Somehow, this star is not unfamiliar.
I don’t know if it’s another world, but the earth is familiar, so if you look down from space orbit, you can see and recognize the shape of the continents and things like that.
But that is also the case when the shape of the continent was intact. The broken and destroyed marks were so large and messy that even I didn’t realize that this was Earth.
No, how hard did the humans here fight and fuck up the earth that much.
[Mother, unable to see the human war, caused a disaster to wipe out the earth. And I am a spirit born from the volcanic eruption that occurred at that time]
“Mother…… It must be Gaia.”
Star will. Gaia, the planet’s manager. It is the name of the Earth Mother Goddess, but basically the will of the planet is unified with that name.
After knowing that this is Earth, I was able to recognize that this was the American continent where the United States was originally located. And the volcanic eruption that wiped out America and this location… Yellowstone National Park.
It is one of the supervolcanoes that would destroy the earth if it exploded. Even this alone would be a catastrophe, but since there are other spirits similar to her, it must have been a catastrophe that would of course perish for humans.
“But nature is fair, isn’t it? If the earth was wiped out, wouldn’t other animals and races perish as well? Then, what are the current Katsina and other races?”
[There are five main races with intelligence in this world. The cat’s Kartsi, the dog’s Kurtsy, the ape’s Iif, the bird’s Abes, and the mouse’s Palet… Do you know what these have in common?]
“……..Animal testing”
Cats, dogs, apes, birds, mice… All of them are animals that are frequently used in animal experiments.
Although the type of animal to be used varies depending on the type of experiment, it is an unchanging fact that it is the main experimental animal.
[They are the product of human sins. I tried to use it as a weapon by increasing the intelligence of animals. It was an arrogant act as if he had become a god himself]
“Are they two-headed bastards for real?”
[My mother had compassion for them. Even though humans may be guilty, she judged that they were not guilty, so she gathered only those people and built an ark to protect them.]
At that time, I suddenly had one thing on my mind.
Despite the extremely well-preserved natural environment here, the reason why the spirits only manifest in the spirit sanctuary… It must have something to do with the world being wiped out once.
To be specific, it’s like a rainbow. When I said it was an ark, it suddenly came to my mind.
[Afterwards, in a stable world, Mother made a sanctuary for spirits as proof that she would not do such a thing again, and let us rest. The sanctuary of the spirits is a symbol of our determination not to wipe out the world again. Unless this is destroyed, we will not be active again]
In the Bible, in the part where Noah’s ark is mentioned, God caused a great flood and afterwards promised not to cause such a disaster again as a proof of the rainbow as a proof of the promise. The sanctuary of the spirits had the same meaning as that rainbow.
It’s very exciting because I feel like I’ve found out the secret of this world. No, but to say that this was a post-apocalypse makes me feel anew.
[However, it is impossible to confine nature. That’s why we took the form of a contract and made it possible for us to do our activities. Since this is a rule set by my mother, I have no choice but to follow it if I can.]
“An interesting story came out and the talk went somewhere else for a while, but it’s about to get to the point. So, will you sign a contract with my daughter?”
[There is no reason to refuse. He’s someone I can make a full contract with, but I can’t say for sure if I can find someone like that, so it’s better to do it]
“I’ll tell you in advance, we’re from another dimension. So, if you make a contract with Eden, you have to move over there. Of course, it’s the same planet as this one, but…”
[The procedure will be a bit more complicated, but…… It can be done. So no problem]
“What if it’s a procedure?”
[I am the spirit that manages this place. If I leave this place unprepared, there will be a huge volcanic eruption that will wipe out everything nearby]
Hagisa, if you listen to his story, the volcanic area here is where Yellowstone National Park was cleaned up after it erupted. It was a volcano with a scenario of human extinction when it erupted, but if no one manages it, it is obvious that it will be ruined.
-I will take a lot of my strength and leave it here. If you do that, a new spirit will be born based on it. He will become the owner of the new volcano and manage it.
“Wow, spanking the junior”
“Dad, what’s your free time?”
“It’s a military term, Eden.”
But he said he would give me a contract, but that’s about it. As for the loss of strength, it will definitely recover if you spend time with Eden anyway. Perhaps, no matter how great the power, Eden’s affinity is more than that, so the recovery period will be quite human.
[Wait, I’ll finish it soon]
The owner of the volcano separated his power as it was. About 80% of the power it possesses. Even if it was only 20% of the remaining power, it would not be strange to be called a disaster of public interest, but since the original power was so great, considering the remaining power, it was no different from a huge loss.
Then he threw the cut power into the volcanic crater. And as those forces began to seep into the volcano, the menacingly bubbling lava slowly calmed down.
[I’m ready to sign a contract with this]
“Now then, Eden. Shall we sign a contract with him?”
“Uh!!!!”
I took a step back and put Eden in front of me. The giant Jerosto’s beak came right in front of Eden’s nose.
Eden didn’t even tell me, but he put his hand on his beak. It seems that there is something instinctively felt.
[Little one who wants to make a contract with me. What is your name?]
“Eden, this is Choi Eden”
[Hey Eden. If so, what do you want from me and what can you do for me?]
Unless it was an unfair contract, the contract had to be mutually agreed upon. Even nominally, they had to have merit.
Of course, for the spirits who promised to stay in one sanctuary, the contract itself, which allows them to see the world at least a little bit, is a merit, but it is still necessary.
“Um…… I’ll make you something delicious!!!!”
[…Delicious?]
“There are so many delicious things in the world!!!!! Let’s eat and travel together!!!!!”
His eyes narrow Eden seemed to like the answer.
[A spirit can survive without eating anything. I also haven’t eaten anything since I was born. But… You seem to be quite interested in the act of gastronomy]
A spirit in a spiritual body has no sense of taste, let alone eats, unless it is present. It’s a physical thing after all. But that’s not to say it’s bad. On the contrary, on the one hand, gastronomy is also a driving force that makes people move more.
During the Age of Exploration, why did people go out on a ship and covet spices? Why was sweetness so valuable in the old days?
Human efforts to desire something more delicious lead to development. It was a story that could be applied not only to humans but also to other races.
[Good night. My contractor Choi Eden. From now on, I will make a contract with you and become wings that burn your enemies.]
As soon as the contract was established, Yesto’s body began to shrink. The body that filled the huge crater instantly changed to the size of a little big chicken that can be seen in the countryside.
However, it has become a deformed appearance from when it was growing, but on the other hand, it is similar in size, so it really looks like a chicken.
Eden asked, tilting his head, whether he knew that too.
“Is it a chicken?”
[What is chicken? Is it a creature similar to me?]
“It’s like a small beacon. It’s delicious to eat with chicken!!!!”
[Don’t compare me to that animal?!?!?]
Anyway, Eden captured a spirit to raise in the future. Hmm, it feels like I caught Fire among the legendary Pokemon. Would you teach me about Brave Bird later, Eden?
It seems that the Manrap character was chosen from the beginning, but now Yesto is in a state of diminished power. To restore his original strength, Eden’s interest and effort were required.
Of course, later, if Eden begins to reach the transcendental level, Yesto will also be able to have the original ideal. Even if it regains its original power, it is a super-volcanic level spirit, but in the world of transcendentalists, there are many people who can say that it is only that, so it should be as strong as possible.
Still, it is fortunate that Eden has added one more escort member. If Eden’s safety was more strict, it’s better to be strict than not enough.
[Therefore? What are your future goals? Are you planning to make a contract with the owners of other sanctuaries, starting with me?]
“Who are the other guys?”
[There is Adreas, the owner of the Great Canyon Sanctuary, Fulstead of the Tempest Sanctuary, and Chishirva of the Whirlwind Sea Sanctuary.]
“It gives me chills just hearing something.”
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
“You don’t have to know our Eden yet.”
When I realized that this was the Earth and that it was the American continent, I seemed to know why the language here is similar to English, and I can roughly guess what the owners of the sanctuary mean by the name.
First of all, Yessto, right in front, seems to have been named after Yellowstone National Park, and Adreas, who appears to be a land spirit, seems to have been named after the San Andreas Fault.
And Fulstead, Fulstead, Fulstead, Ful State, which looks like a wind spirit… Wasn’t this the tornado that swept through all the states in the United States?
Finally, Chishirba, a water spirit, is probably derived from the Chicxulub meteorite impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. The power of the tsunami that occurred at that time must have been unprecedented.
Spirits born from names chosen by humans are wiping out mankind. How ironic.
No, but somehow the earth was so fucking messy that I couldn’t even recognize it. I’m not saying that at least four natural disasters like the Yellowstone eruption have hit the United States alone. Hey, it wouldn’t be strange if humans went extinct.
“Anyway, let’s go back soon. We have other things to do when we go back.”
“Ugh!!!! Let’s go risotto!!!!”
[My name is Yesstodaman?!?!]
“It’s hard to pronounce, so can’t we just call it risotto? Besides, it looks delicious.”
[Don’t change the name your mother gave you at will!]
On the one hand, I thought that Eden’s naming sense faithfully followed the characteristics of the Choi family. This guy’s blood is thick, which is a problem.
But if the person’s name is Risotto, the stand would be Metallica, but it’s actually Magician’s Red!!!!
