Chapter 516 - Age After Ending (30)
The boy opened his big mouth finally.
"Sister, I will serve you, too, with all my heart! It"s the first time I"ve ever seen a dragon, the strongest creature like you."
Hearing that, Isabella wrapped her head with both hands.
"Shut up! I hate that sulfur smell from your mouth."
Two "monster kings" surrendered. They swore allegiance to Isabella and Mir.
The top player of the Korean server was stunned to watch them. So were other players. They had no idea of what"s going on right now.
"I really can"t figure out what the h.e.l.l…"
Then he turned his head and looked to his right.
Something remarkable was going on.
"Hey, stay still!"
It was Hyeyeon, a young woman who looked like a high school student, who was yelling like that. "If you annoy Griffin, you are in big trouble!"
The "Harpy Queen" was crumpled under Griffin"s claws. His body was full of wounds as if torn by Griffin"s sharp claws.
Griffin kept raising his level by evolving endlessly, so he reached a level where even the king of monsters, the Harpy Queen, could not subdue him alone.
Griffin shot down the Harpy Queen, who resisted until the very end.
But he didn"t surrender completely like the other two monsters.
The Queen Harpy shouted, "Lol! Don"t be silly, you fragile humans! And you stupid betrayers! Our Emperor will tear you apart!"
Drake King and Lich instinctively curled their tails in fear when they faced the Queen Harpy, a higher level than them. The Harpy Queen still wors.h.i.+ped the emperor-cla.s.s monster.
At that moment something fell next to the Harpy Queen"s head.
It was a lion"s head.
"Ugh!"
The Harpy Queen was startled, then blinked her eyes in disbelief at the terrific scene:
The head of a severed lion with her eyes turned upside down and her tongue sticking out.
"Is this the severed head of your emperor?"
The woman who threw her head asked.
The Harpy Queen lifted her head and looked at her.
A woman in dark red armor was standing with a sword s.h.i.+ning in gold. She was Jisu.
"..."
The Harpy Queen couldn"t answer. And she dared not resist any longer because the lion"s severed head in front of her was that of the emperor-grade monster born in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, namely, Nemeya"s Lion.
Jisu looked down at the Harpy Queen who looked crestfallen, then nodded.
"I didn"t want to kill him. I feel a bit uncomfortable after learning that you guys are victims, too. But I had no other choice."
The Harpy Queen couldn"t understand what she was talking about.
Jisu said, "You are victims just like us."
After saying it, she turned.
The bodies of intelligent monsters contain the souls of those who were once human beings. Just because the monsters died didn"t mean their souls also died. If their bodies were alive in another world, their souls would be restored.
To save them all was her goal.
At that moment the top player of the Korean server approached her.
"Hi, let me ask you a few questions."
Trying to look calm, he asked, "Who the h.e.l.l are you? Are you from another server? Are you from China?"
Jisu shook his head, saying, "We are Korean."
He made an expression that he could not believe her because he was responsible for unifying the whole Korean server.
"Um… I"ve never heard of people like you on the Korean server."
"Of course, you"re right because I"m not from this world. I"ve come from another earth."
Another earth?
Hearing that reply, he could no longer hide his artificial calmness.
Stunned, he asked, "What did you say?"
She said with a gentle smile, "It will all be over soon."
"..."
He still looked embarra.s.sed, not knowing what was going on.
She turned her head and looked at something far away, namely, the roof of the building.
"This h.e.l.lish game will be over soon."
He still could not believe her.
"Are you sure? How is that possible? We don"t even know what the truth of the game is yet."
Wheeeeeeeeeeeng-
Then, a gust of wind blew from somewhere. Her hair was scattered. The blood from her hair and armor splattered on her back.
Then about 20 airs.h.i.+ps appeared simultaneously over her head.
Woooooooooo-
He could not believe what was happening before his eyes.
With the airs.h.i.+ps in the background, she opened her mouth.
"We"re going to end this game."
With shouts of exclamations here and there, the top player nodded. There was a sense of awe in his expression.
"By the way, I want to ask you a favor."
She turned her head. At that moment, a blue wave rose on the roof of a certain building.
"Would you like to see the end of this game together?"
The blue wave was Hypergate.
It was the beginning of all things, or the source of all evil, which was the door to Earth Zero
Then the players from other worlds began to join the forces in Earth Zero.
***
The final war was waged simultaneously on multiple earths.
The players of the World Tree camp jumped into more than a dozen earths, where they were carrying out an operation to rescue the people who were bound by the yokes of humans and the system there.
Meanwhile, a large-scale battle was taking place on Earth Zero.
Rattle! Rattle!
The army of death that shook the earth, and the winged undead and demons that filled the sky were devouring the whole world, and even the sealed being Gigantes towering like a mountain among them.
The undead army of the Necromancer came with black smoke and toxic rain.
When they swept through an area, their numbers grew exponentially as if to prove the best capability of the Necromancer. It was a disaster in itself.
When things that they only enjoyed through games and broadcasts appeared in reality, those on Earth Zero were terrified. And their horror was accompanied by physical pain.
It was h.e.l.l for them. The only place that the survivors of Earth Zero could flee to was an official refuge called a "shelter". But even the shelter was broken through easily.
At some point, they realized that there was nowhere where they could escape on Earth Zero.
24 hours have pa.s.sed since their invasion.
Wooooooooooooo-
Sungwoo and Kyungsoo, who were standing on the deck of the Messenger, were looking down at the unfamiliar scenes.
"It"s almost over, isn"t it?"Kyungsoo asked.
Sungwoo agreed, nodding at him.
Faced with the Necromancer"s advance, the army of Earth Zero, who lost all their weapons and became players, collapsed helplessly. Large cities such as New York, Was.h.i.+ngton, and San Francisco on the North American continent, as well as Tokyo and Seoul across the Pacific, were conquered. And another fleet that started from Africa was heading north, crus.h.i.+ng all the cities on the way.
The war would not last long.
"By the way, is this the place called Seoul? Except for Gyeongbokgung Palace over there and Namsan Tower in the distance, there is nothing left. Coming here, I thought I could identify with the enemies, but I don"t feel it at all."
Seoul in the 24th century has become completely different.
Lots of buildings of unfamiliar designs here and there were quite similar to what they imagined in the movie, namely, a cold and bizarre downtown, and a heartless world full of absurdities and evil.
"Well, this place is too bright for a c.o.c.kroach nest. If I can have my way, I want to burn all of them down right now. And I want to chew on some popcorn, watching them struggle to survive as players in that h.e.l.l," Kyungsoo said with a sigh, shaking his head. "I know I shouldn"t do it.. No matter how much I would like to take revenge on them, I don"t want to be the same evil as them."
