Chapter 383 – Final Chapter + Epilogue
#383.
“Miss Gaon! Gaon-san—!”
Chorin lost her temper. Her loved one died in her place. I can’t be ok even looking at it. She cried incessantly.
Others were similar.
All lovers were disappointed, and even those who were not close to each other were saddened by the fact that they had lost their full potential.
Chorin, who had been in a panic for a while, finally escaped her reality. She slowly approached the Dimension Eater, who had swallowed the Gaon and fell silent.
“No. It can’t be. Yes? Gaon Mr. Please do.”
The Dimension Eater, which shed its human body and became a monster of irregular form, continued to wriggle out its hideous flesh.
Soon, when Chorin approached beyond a certain distance, she swung her tentacles at a terrifying speed.
Paaang!
An indeterminate tentacle hit the place where Chorin had been standing just before. The ground cracks, and evil energy eats away at the land.
A little away from there, Chorin was sitting in the arms of Israel.
Izrael reprimanded her for her blank eyes.
“Hyuuga Ongyeong is dead. Calm down. Goddess!”
“No. It can’t be. No way…”
“Please bring your senses back! Even Hyu Ongyeong wouldn’t want something like this!”
Chorin bit his teeth hard at the ensuing screams.
In fact, she knows too. To the extent that Gaon would have died. But she was afraid that if she accepted it, even the slightest hope that she might be alive would disappear.
Even though she’s still alive, she’s lost her spirit like this, and Gaon, who saved her, couldn’t do it.
At the very least, shouldn’t we take revenge for that?
‘I can’t forgive you.’
The loss of the most precious person in the world. Dare to imitate that person and act. I can’t tolerate everything.
Just as Chorin sharpened her vengeance blade and glared at her Dimension Eater, the Duke approached her.
“You gave up too soon.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“I said I gave up too quickly. Look at the guy Is something out of the ordinary? That might be an overly optimistic observation, but maybe the guy on vacation inside is resisting. It’s hard to believe that it’s over just because he’s been eaten. If it’s the guy I know, he’s a human who would come back alive even if he had to rip off the belly of a monster. Isn’t it?”
The last question was directed to Israel.
Even Israel, who gave a definite answer that Gaon was dead, immediately nodded, wondering if there was anything suspicious.
“From the beginning, his purpose was to devour the Hyuga Ongyeong. It was probably the judgment that if we did that, we would be able to defeat it easily. But looking at the current state, it doesn’t seem to be able to move. Its instincts remain and attack those who approach, but they are not very strong.”
It means that it is weaker than when it was at its fullest, but it does not mean that it can be easily defeated. However, it is true that the odds of winning are much higher.
It was when Chorin looked at the Dimension Eater, wondering if it was really like that.
Percussion!
“It’s true. Mr. Gaon is alive.”
A soft voice came from behind.
Chorin hurriedly turned her head and saw Hirencia with fluttering platinum hair in her eyes. She was holding a glowing lightsaber and smiling.
“Herencia? How is it…”
“I can’t just rest comfortably by myself. Above all, erosion has disappeared.”
She blinked proudly. Beautiful amber eyes twinkle.
Her words are supported by the fact that her hair and eye color, which had been killed by the gray light of Hirencia, which was eroded by the Dimension Eater, has returned to its original color.
But she was more important to Chorin than what she had said before.
She jumped up and asked.
“She’s more than that. Is what she just said true? That Mr. Gaon is alive.”
“That’s right. I don’t know if this is because I’ve been eroded once, but I can feel it. That Gaon is fighting hard.”
If no one else knew, it was quite persuasive as it was Hirencia’s words. Recording again fills Chorin’s eyes, who had lost her vitality.
“Then… Can you get it?”
“Yes. But we have to hurry. Increasingly… Gaon’s presence is fading. We must rescue her before she is completely absorbed.”
“Is there a way?”
“There is. Just once. You just need to create an opening for me to attack. If it’s Gaon, you should be able to get out of him on your own with just that.”
Hirencia confidently raised her holy sword.
As she is a Dimension Eater and her superstar, a blow was enough for her aid to Gaon.
Such an operation was communicated to others, and consent was obtained without incident. Now all we have to do is save Gaon.
‘I won’t let you die like this!’
Chorin made a strong commitment.
Soon, an operation to rescue Gaon was carried out centering on Hirencia.
***
Void.
There is only one thing that exists in a black space like the universe. Gaon stood at the center of it and looked at the approaching darkness.
The hand slowly encroaching from the outskirts was insidious and greedy at the same time.
‘Did it get eaten in the end?’
It was a choice to save Chorin, but because of that choice, everyone will be lost in the end.
I don’t regret it, but it’s true that I’m sorry.
I wanted to shake off this evil darkness and escape this space right away, but only my ego remained and all control of my body was lost, so it was best to just think.
Gaon looked around the space again.
It is so empty that you wonder what it would be like if you excluded all light from the universe and packed it tightly with only darkness.
Only the body of transcendence created by gathering all the blessings of the world exists in the center.
At the same time that there is nothing, everything exists.
It was a strange state in which a situation that could only be called a contradiction coexisted.
In one world, nothing but him exists, so on the contrary, he can be said to be the world.
A strange realization passed by.
However, if the level was to rise to that level, no one would have been blocked by the wall. The realization soon became a mirage and disappeared.
Even the concept of time is vague here.
Gaon already felt as if he had been here for several years.
Of course, if the same time had really passed outside, Union would have already perished in the old evening.
‘What should I do now?’
It is fortunate that his body resists the Dimension Eaters without being easily eaten.
But even if you get away from him, does that mean anything if everyone is already dead? Isn’t the previous life enough to experience the loneliness of being alone in a ruined world?
Every time that thought popped up, the will to resist gradually faded.
Tsutsutsutsutsut…
The speed of encroachment of the darkness that was struggling to advance from the outskirts is gradually increasing. The wear and tear of the mind led to the weakening of the body.
Gaon, who had been staring at it insensibly as if looking at it from a third person’s perspective, soon came to his senses.
All of his imaginations so far are not true, and even if they are real, isn’t it normal to burn the blade of revenge?
Making assumptions and giving up like this was not polite to those who loved them.
Gaon calmed down.
‘I must escape.’
After that, a long period of patience passed.
As a result, the resistance of the body was getting weaker and weaker, and the erosion of the darkness that was slow was enough to cover all the limbs.
At that moment.
Tick… Ti Dick!
A very small noise penetrated my ears.
This space, which is void itself, has no sound. This means that something has changed. Gaon heard a sound and fixed his gaze in the direction he came from.
‘That…’
A very small incontinence is drawn between the black spaces. Between them, something of platinum light peeked out, then disappeared.
Then, suddenly, a bigger incontinence appeared, and a familiar voice rang out.
– Gaon!
Desperate yet affectionate, exhausted beauty immediately made me realize its true identity.
‘Herencia?’
She doesn’t know how she got here after leaving it at Union. She did, but she knew she was doing her best to save herself.
– Mr. Gaon-!
This time, I heard a grievous voice close to Chorin’s scream. Then the other lovers each called him anxiously.
Jump! Great!
A crack formed as the incontinence spread. Brilliant platinum light shines through the black space and pushes away the darkness.
Flinch!
Gaon’s fingers moved. Little by little, my senses are returning. With just a little more effort, he seems to be able to shake off the darkness.
But that little bit of strength was lacking.
The darkness that engulfed his limbs clung tenaciously as if he couldn’t miss this opportunity, pulling him deeper into the abyss.
It’s really disgusting to see him struggling to get away from the light as much as possible, but his teeth tremble.
– Hirencia, get out of here!
– Goddess! Dangerous!
A low-pitched low-pitched voice. This is the Duke of Austin Chevrons, and after that is the 1st Guardian, Israel.
Everyone else is doing their best to rescue Gaon.
All those wishes are delivered to him intact.
‘This… What?’
Gaon discovered a strange power that began to sprout in his soul.
People’s aspirations are weak, but at the same time they are a great force. In particular, all of the people here were strong people of high altitude with mental strength that was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Their aspirations were strong enough to leave a deep imprint on the world alone, and thus exerted an influence on tens or even millions of people, even if it was only 50 people.
Kururrureung!
The bizarre power that wrapped around the soul burped the dragon violently and released energy.
The shock wave emitted from his body instantly dispelled the darkness clinging to his body.
‘Storm.’
It is the identity of the power that resides in his soul.
Gaon, who had completely regained control of his body, clenched his fists and measured the power, then leaped with all his might and shot toward the crack.
Tens of thousands of black tentacles stretched out belatedly and chased after him, but could not catch him.
Clink!
The moment I collided with the black sky, my vision opened with the impact of breaking a mirror.
Wheei-
The wind lingers around my ears.
Gaon landed on the ground enjoying the thrill of freedom more than ever.
In front of him were lovers who tried their best to save him.
“Miss Gaon!”
At the cry of Chorin, who was standing in the front, all of them rushed together and embraced him.
Buried in an alluring female body, Gaon patted everyone on the back and whispered.
“I’m glad you’re safe. But it’s still too early to be relieved. Let’s talk about it after the fight is over.”
At those words, everyone bit their lips and fell from their arms. Each of them prepares for battle and gazes over his shoulder.
When I turn my back, I see an irregularly shaped monster wriggling grotesquely.
Gaon used his power to form a hand made of storms on his severed forearm and summoned a wind cloud that fell on the floor.
He pointed his spear at the Dimension Eater.
“This is the end.”
Kieh Aeg!
As if he didn’t like that declaration, the Dimension Eater brandished millions of tentacles. Gaon did not dodge the attack and faced it head-on.
Having obtained the deity of the storm, he is no different from the wind itself. Attack speed, efficiency, and power. All of that was on a different level than before.
Everyone’s wishes were reconciled with divine power and became a huge storm that swept everywhere.
In an instant, the compressed storm engulfs the plasma and evolves one step further.
“Huh!”
Kwakwagwagwang!
A storm made of plasma flew like an arrow and shattered the tentacles rushing in from all directions.
Gaon was subtle but superior even before gaining godhood. Now that all abilities have risen due to the support of his divine power, the Dimension Eater could not even dare to oppose him.
After all, he wasn’t alone.
“Die!”
Together with Ilgal, Isabella fired tens of thousands of feathers to bombard the Dimension Eaters. The fear of losing Gaon was replaced by anger.
It was the same for everyone else, and everyone started pouring out their anger into attacks.
The Dimension Eater, who even went back to dancing after a stroke of conversion, was helpless there.
Bang! Kwakwang! Pervert!
Gaon clears all attacks from the front, and the melee ones aim for the gap. And once they got out, the magic flew in.
The elaborate joint attack that continued without a chance to breathe quickly accumulated damage to him.
The brilliance of Hirencia and the holy sword were enough to seal even the dimension eater’s regenerative power.
It wasn’t long before the guy was a wreck.
Khehehe!
With a bitter roar, he recklessly rushed at Gaon.
Of course, he’s not going to be beaten twice by the same number. He threw a tens of meters long spear formed by compressing the storm and threw it into the gaping mouth.
It swallowed even that, but a huge explosion inside stirred its body, then it floated in the air and then fell upside down.
It looks like an upside down frog.
“Now let’s really finish it.”
There was no reason or need to keep him alive any longer. Gaon squeezed out the divine power and mana of the whole body and concentrated it on his head.
Whoops!
A black sun rose in the sky.
The energy that was the size of a fist quickly increased and grew to an enormous size that could cover a small mountain.
In addition, when I used the built-in function of Wind Cloud, the whole sky was filled with black sun.
Thinking of putting an end to the long evil relationship, Gaon exhaled a long breath and lowered the spear he had raised and pointed it at him.
At the same time, the great sun plummeted downward.
Kieeeee
The Dimension Eater struggled, perhaps not wanting to die. However, he is unable to move due to the weight that weighs down his entire body.
With the combined strength of the magicians here, it was enough to handle the resistance of a guy who had already lost his energy.
Soon, the sun met the ground and the Dimension Eater’s screams slowly died away.
The sun had disappeared, leaving only a hole in an inexplicable depth.
“Ha…”
Is this really the end?
I don’t feel it. It looks like he’ll jump out of that pit any time soon. However, no matter how much I looked, there was no sign.
Gaon suppressed complex emotions that were difficult to explain and then moved his gaze to his arm.
As if to prove that the Dimension Eater has completely disappeared, new flesh is sprouting from the forearm that was not regenerated due to being eaten away by evil energy.
Bones and muscles are regenerated, blood vessels are connected, and the skin is covered to restore its original appearance.
Checking his senses by shaking and squeezing his hand, Gaon smiled and turned his back.
There were countless lovers looking at him with anxious faces.
Gaon spread his arms.
“Should I do something I couldn’t do before?”
At the same time, the lovers reacted in their own way, and rushed into his arms with all their might.
It was the end of a long fight that transcended dimensions.
***
In a room where splendor and neatness coexist, Gaon was facing a large mirror.
“Now I know for sure.”
A month ago, he succeeded in digesting the realization that had briefly passed inside the Dimension Eater’s body.
The state of becoming one with the world.
After reaching 12 stars, I could clearly feel the huge flow that made up this world as if I could catch it.
After knowing what the system in charge of the dimension pursues and what methods it takes to do so, I understand the endless greed of the dimension eaters.
“Balance…”
To maintain perfect horizontality without being biased in any one place. From a macro perspective, both good and evil are necessary to sustain the world.
There is a great evil called the Dimension Eater, so one day a good will appear to oppose him.
However, the existence of Gaon appeared due to an out-of-standard product called regression.
This must have been a huge variable that was not in the calculations of the system.
If so, who left the arrangement of regression for these variables to occur? It is possible to guess to some extent now.
“It’s just like me.”
A person who reached the level of the 12 stars and realized the flow of the world. He is the shadow of all this.
If so, for what purpose?
I guess that’s probably because he didn’t want to be swallowed up by evil, even if it was a dimension that wasn’t related to him.
Of course, it’s not just good intentions, but it should be seen as a little bit of sincerity in preparation for when evil reaches one’s dimension someday.
And here a question arises.
It is about why such a being did not intervene directly and ended up arranging a return.
There is a very simple answer to it.
“Because it’s annoying.”
Even Gaon’s transcendent senses are now feeling beyond the dimension. There are so many evils in countless dimensions.
It must be too harsh to ask him to handle all of that alone.
I have no intention of doing that from the moment I came.
“Even so, if it’s just a little…”
Since there are things I’ve received so far, if I have a conscience, I’ll have to return some of them.
Gaon thought so, gathered his will and scattered arrangements across the dimension. This will be a very huge hope for someone.
After taking such a simple step, I felt a sense of detachment for the first time in a while.
No matter how much he reached the level of 12 stars and obtained omnipotence, it was quite tiring to exert an influence beyond the dimensional boundary.
After sitting in a chair and resting for a while, I heard a knock and a voice.
-I’m on vacation. All preparations are complete.
“Yes. Going.”
Pounding! Pounding!
The heart beats pleasantly. Filled with excitement, Gaon opened the door wide and went out.
Then, lovers in pure white wedding dresses entered his eyes. Nine beauties with distinct personalities smile at him.
“”Who is the prettiest?”
Gaon laughed awkwardly.
Because in his eyes, all 9 of them were so beautiful that they couldn’t distinguish superiority or inferiority.
-Wan-
