Part 2, Episode 49
[Amazing… I can’t believe something like that happened.]
Even after recognizing all the facts, Rosaria remained calm.
It was definitely a different reaction from the doppelganger.
Just right.
When Taehyun snapped his fingers, the doppelganger’s appearance collapsed.
It was not destroyed, but its form was disrupted and re-incorporated into the world of images.
This is because he thought that his reunion with Rosaria might be interrupted and that his pride would be less hurt that way.
“Have all your memories returned?”
Taehyun asked as if confirming.
What I heard was not an answer, but a question.
[contractor. What is the current maid?]
“….”
[The maiden has disappeared and you have returned a second time.]
Rosaria’s eyes slightly wavered.
Turf war. Race war. And the constellation war.
For a brief moment, it seemed like a side effect of accepting the huge timeline.
‘This is different from Doppel.’
Even though he got into a fight with him, he accepted the situation without any trouble.
He was just angry when he realized that his power was no longer able to reach the constellations outside.
Rosaria was accepting the new memories but was confused.
This was something Taehyun didn’t expect.
‘If Rosaria, who has the power of mind control, is like this… it’s obvious even without looking at the others.’
Perhaps even the archdukes would have a mental breakdown and go berserk.
Suddenly, I became convinced of that.
‘I’ll have to hold off on allowing the Archdukes to regain their memories using this method.’
Now I needed to calm Rosaria down.
“A confidant who opposed the King of Sanggye together with the Demon King. A close friend who fought two wars with me and led me to victory. You are the Rosaria I knew. “It seems like the timeline is twisted and I’m having trouble accepting my memories, but nothing has changed.”
[I see… Even though I went through the memories of the doppelganger, it was still this much of a shock… If I had taken your words directly, there would have been a crack in the true woman’s existence.]
“Those are bloody words.”
If that were the case, Taehyun might have had to destroy Rosaria with his own hands.
The turf war gets complicated even before it begins.
[The good news is that the confusion is gradually stabilizing.]
Just as the doppelganger who shared the same essence read Taehyun’s memories, Rosaria read the doppelganger’s memories and understood, even if only fragmentarily, the experiences Taehyun had experienced.
[The difference from back then is existence…. Yes, the original woman’s existence is far from enough to understand everything.]
Her gaze scanned the magical energy still oozing from Taehyun’s body.
[Dream sleep. That power belongs to the original woman…. There is a long way to go.]
“I will help you. And there are many more monsters out there. On the contrary, it will be difficult if we do not regain our previous strength.”
In the end, the beings you have to deal with in the end are constellations.
That too is a group of great constellations.
It was essential to bring back the glory days of the past.
[Compared to your memories, it will be much lacking.]
“Even though I’ve been like this, I’ve had trouble finding my strength, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
[You are as confident as ever.]
Only then did Rosaria smile and hold Taehyeon’s hand.
[Please take good care of me, contractor.]
Her magic flowed into Taehyun’s body.
As if to emphasize that he was a true contractor, the magic power that flowed naturally settled into the first magic stone.
How willing that arrogant attitude is.
Taehyun smiled and gave strength to their joined hands.
[So where do you plan to start the counterattack?]
A constellation war controlled by the Great Constellation.
Compared to those guys, even Taehyeon, who rose to the top of the three thousand worlds, is nothing more than a daylight.
So that’s why I’m asking.
Is there anything in the Three Thousand Worlds worth turning over the war to that extent?
“of course.”
Taehyun nodded.
Growth becomes more and more difficult the more power you have.
What can we say about the constellations that have a single microcosm?
‘But we have to do it.’
Three Thousand Worlds.
Two different constellations sharing one universe.
The ‘Dragon with Five Hearts’ became a high-level constellation with one regression.
The ‘Fate-Defying Demon King’ became a mid-level constellation with one regression.
It is not known exactly how they achieved such growth, except that they used a code called regression.
What is certain is that if you fail, you cannot expect the next turn.
If the ‘Predator of the Three Thousand Worlds’ fails to surpass the growth of the previous two constellations, the only future that will come is extinction.
‘That’s troublesome.’
The timeline is already twisted.
While returning and climbing the tower, Taehyeon thought about his plan several times.
And it always starts.
“It’s a turf war.”
The being who was once the King of the Underworld smiled confidently.
* * *
Sieeee-.
Siiii-.
Siiiiiii-.
Taehyun sat cross-legged and rotated the three magic stones.
Instead of a roar like before, a resonant and calm harmony built up.
It was the effect of completely controlling the three magic stones.
‘Even after growing up like this, there is no message from Tolkien…’
I felt relieved and worried at the same time.
I was wondering if something might have happened to him.
“Whew…”
Taehyun shook his head, exhaling shallowly.
Anyway, even if I know the situation now, I can’t deal with it.
‘For now we need to focus on turf wars.’
With that in mind, I focused on creating magic stones.
What was being created was the second magic stone of the ghost sword, not Taehyun’s.
Kiiiii-.
An unsteady roar leaked out from the body of the demon sword who was sitting cross-legged facing him.
“Redirect your magical power without stopping so as not to collide with the first magic stone.”
Following Taehyeon’s instructions, the ghost sword moved its magic power without saying a word.
While raiding Igmun’s territory, I encountered the Blood Demon Church.
After the battle with the Blood Demon Church, he was brought to Rosaria.
Currently, she is sitting leisurely in her dream castle, working on forming magic stones.
‘What the hell is this…’
When you try to ask about a situation you don’t understand.
“Concentrate, Shinji.”
Taehyun immediately poured magical energy into his body.
We had already spent about five hours and three more hours were to be spent.
Kiiiiii-.
A new piece of magic stone was engraved into the body of the ghost sword.
dump.
Taehyun glanced at the ghost sword who had fainted from exhaustion.
There was no need to take any special measures.
Two magic stones have already been created in the body.
Even if you leave it alone, it will recover its strength on its own.
Now, even if I meet an enemy the size of Dokgo-jin, I won’t suffer in vain.
“Increasing the size is up to Doppel. The problem is the 5th floor….”
The place they are staying is Mongmasong, located on the 5th floor.
As expected, it was confirmed that the archdukes’ territory was located on the 5th floor of the tower.
‘weird.’
The tower has 100 floors, and the guys who are said to be the strongest in the summer are tied to one floor.
Aside from wondering why a single bowl was large enough to contain their entire existence, it was questionable why they did not go beyond the upper layers.
These are great princes who have a stronger desire to rule and conquer than anyone else.
If the land mass was limited like in a turf war, it was difficult to understand why there was no movement even though an unknown world was spreading out above.
‘Are you worried about a tribal war? No, Rosaria said she hadn’t thought about the reason. There is a high probability that the archdukes’ memories have been manipulated.’
Even Rosaria said she didn’t notice anything strange before Taehyun raised questions, so it wasn’t impossible.
Another assumption is that the tower is connected to the outside.
‘If it’s true, it’s the worst.’
Humans are still wandering between the 2nd and 4th floors, and summer power is concentrated on the 5th floor.
What remains is the 95th floor.
In a state where the power of the King of the Underworld has not been restored, even the slightest variable can be fatal.
‘I need to take a conservative approach.’
Taehyun checked the power available for the turf war.
Succubus Queen Rosaria and her forces.
A doppelganger who was restored by the power of the Great Duke, limited to the world of imagery.
Excluding Hazard and Lucifer, it was a force worth trying.
‘Oh, by the way, I thought there were two demon kings now.’
I thought about the current archdukes I had heard about from Rosaria one by one.
Fairy King Elven.
Demon King Beelzebub and Diablo.
Demon Beast King Orgal.
Demon Sea King Jormungand.
Vampire Lord Igmun.
Dragon Lord Hazard.
Fallen angel Lucifer.
“It’s a shame that this is the timeline where Typhon was hunted.”
He is a being who, along with Rosaria, acquired the greatest power among the great Dukes.
If he had been alive, he would have been able to overcome the turf war more easily.
[If you are a giant king, there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, that guy has to die at least once to come to his senses.]
Rosaria, who had already approached me, said that.
“Your presence has increased considerably?”
[Because the contractor’s memories are so heavy. I felt like my image of the original woman was expanding just by digesting it.]
It was a welcome sound while listening to it.
‘I guess I should leave Igmun last.’
If you touch him by mistake and the Blood Demon Cult comes over again, you’ll be in trouble.
‘They also seem to have limitations… but we need to stay away from them as much as possible. At least until I can use my holy power properly.’
“Then I guess we should prioritize saving Typhon. “It is most likely buried underground in Orgal’s main castle.”
Taehyun said, recalling the diversionary operation against Rosaria in the past.
From what she heard, Orgal’s personality is not much different from Taehyun’s memories.
If you touch their pride, you can easily lure them out.
[The main woman thought so too… but the situation has changed.]
“Why?”
[The Fairy King is being attacked by demons. They say two demon kings joined hands.]
“Oh my.”
Another foul-mouthed Elven comrade, the Fairy King.
My head hurts when I think of her, whom I placed as a secondary priority in forming relationships.
[Unlike your timeline, the fairies are alive and well, and there are two demon kings. It won’t be easy with our current strength.]
Two demon kings.
The demon race, which had produced two great dukes from one species, was facing a time when its power was stronger than ever.
A war between demons and fairies.
As a result, the demon king Diablo disappears. Beelzebub’s power was greatly weakened, and the Elven and Divine Beasts also disappeared.
From Ha-gye’s perspective, it was a huge loss of power.
Sometimes, the image of an Elven missing his own people came to mind.
The worries didn’t last long.
“I need to meet the Elven.”
* * *
The 5th floor of the tower. The realm of the fairies.
A huge divine beast was radiating out its magic power.
In the center of the place, a fairy was combining with a divine beast.
The noble king of the fairies. It was an Elven.
The faces of the highest level fairies appeared in the Elven’s field of vision.
Although they are all scattered, they are communicating using the magical power of the divine beast.
[Fairy King. Those lesser demons have surrounded the surrounding area.]
[High-level demons led by ten great demons are encamped. If things continue like this, breaking through the siege is close to impossible.]
The highest level fairy. Campbell and Duran reported.
In addition, several fairies reported additionally.
The demons are attacking.
The results did not change.
[Things like X gods are attacking me.]
The Elven blurted out his true feelings.
No one said anything about her harsh manner of speaking.
rather.
[Fuck you. I agree.]
[You damn devils. We must attack first.]
[Let’s take XX things.]
[King, please give me XX authority so that I can attack the demons XX.]
The fairies showed their belligerence, each of them swearing loudly.
[There is no battle.]
[Why?!!]
[Great Fairy King!!]
The Elven sighed as he looked at the fairies demanding an answer from him.
[Uhm…that’s….]
I tried my head, but couldn’t come up with a suitable answer.
Because what she is looking for is not an answer, but an excuse.
[No war anyway.]
Unable to find a good excuse, she nailed it again.
