606. Side Story Future Story (1)
“Now. Come on.”
Taeyeon Lee leisurely raises her sword. Hasyanka rushes in with a stern face.
Coooooo!
A battle between Hasyanka and Taeyeon Lee occurs.
There is a loud noise and a crash. Kang Jun-hyuk, who was watching from afar, mutters.
“You fight well.”
Kugugugugugung….
The aftermath of the battle subsided quickly. Hasyanka was lying on the floor, half in tatters.
“great job.”
The Narians decided to help Earth.
Hasianka remained here as a link. Hasyanka, lying on the floor, opens her mouth.
“…You’re really strong. “I can’t even reach it.”
If dealing with Amelia felt like hitting a wall that could never be broken through, Taeyeon Lee simply couldn’t even reach it. It felt like all her thoughts, feelings, and instincts were being read.
“I guess what you’re feeling is right?”
Taeyeon Lee had the skill to change possibilities.
At least within the variables she could control, there was nothing she couldn’t figure out.
“I want to try again.”
“….”
Hasyanka fights in silence. The moment she wakes up.
“You’re working hard.”
“Go, Kang Taesan!”
“uh. I’m here?”
Hasianka is scared and falls flat on his face.
“What about Earth?”
“good. “He’s progressing very well.”
Taeyeon Lee smiled.
The Narians sent their skills and technicians.
Although I had a hard time dealing with the extremely high-level equipment, I was able to adapt to it one by one.
The Narians’ technology, which replaced nuclear energy, gave them electricity and light. In an instant, the broken equipment was restored and infrastructure began to be formed.
They were making progress.
“I am quite relaxed. “If it stays like this, there won’t be any major problems.”
“I’m glad.”
“okay. “There is plenty of time to talk leisurely.”
Lee Taeyeon, smiling brightly, looked at the city.
“We survived. “Taesan.”
They were destroyed once.
And now I am living again.
The ones who remember it are Taeyeon Lee and Taesan. Just the two of you.
“Come to think of it.”
He opened his mouth as if he remembered Lee Taeyeon.
“Taesan, do you remember what I said to you before?”
“What are you saying?”
“Hey. “You said you would tell me what you did in the labyrinth.”
What did Taesan in Easy Mode do?
Taesan tilted his head.
“You told me, right? “How to acquire skills.”
“Not that one. “Your own story.”
“ah.”
Taesan understood what he meant.
“It’s my story.”
His own story.
I never really told anyone about it. He only told me how to acquire the skill, but he kept the details of the trials and errors I went through and with what mindset I had to acquire the skill.
“…I’ll tell you later.”
Originally, I had no intention of talking about it. I thought it was in the past and there was no need for it.
However, after seeing the Demon God’s past, my thoughts changed slightly.
“later. “My thoughts are a little more organized.”
“okay. ah. And Taesan. “I have some good news!”
“Good news?”
“Someone with a child has appeared!”
Taeyeon Lee said with a happy face.
* * *
Humanity will develop.
We will restore the Earth and use the technology of the Narians to move forward. They will have children and tell the next generation how they survived and what they sacrificed.
And one day their stories will become history.
they will move on
Kwasik.
Space is torn apart. Taesan landed lightly on the ground.
“long time no see.”
A medieval village.
This was the entrance to the labyrinth.
As soon as Taesan appeared, the manager of the labyrinth appeared.
[Kang Taesan.]
“Hello. Balbabamba.”
[…What’s going on here?]
Valbabamba’s voice contained caution.
“It’s nothing special. Just to have a look. “You don’t have to worry because you won’t do anything that will cause trouble.”
[I have never heard such unreliable words.]
Valbabamba grumbled and retreated. Taesan, who looked around the village for a moment, walked away.
“oh.”
And a black-haired man greeted him.
Broken Man. A person who gave up on entering the labyrinth and collapsed.
“It’s been a while.”
“Long time no see.”
The Broken Man bowed politely.
“Conqueror of the Labyrinth and our savior. “You can speak at your convenience.”
“This is comfortable. “Can I come in?”
“whenever.”
The Broken Man moved out of the way.
“Because you are the rightful conqueror of the Labyrinth.”
Enter the labyrinth.
Did Balbabamba use a trick? Monsters did not appear. Thanks to this, Taesan was able to descend the labyrinth as if traveling without any obstruction. It wouldn’t have mattered if he showed up.
And Taesan met a familiar face.
“oh. “Taesan.”
“long time no see. Hafran. How have you been?”
“yes.”
Hafran smiled very satisfied. Around him were excellent weapons that had never been seen before.
“Thanks to Taesan, I have reached a higher level. At this rate, I think I will be able to make a weapon of the level you are holding on my own someday.”
[Don’t even dream. Do you think I will become such a cheap person?]
“I am not cheap. It’s just that I reach a higher level.”
Hafran grinned.
Taishan continued to descend. He is the gremlin on the 51st floor. I met Barija. He welcomed Taesan with a happy face.
“You’re here!”
Taishan stayed with Barija for several days.
I talked to him about various things.
And Taesan went down the labyrinth again. He soon met Levinenov and Einzhar.
“Oh oh! Taesan!”
“nice to meet you. “Savior of the universe.”
Levinenov politely bowed.
“How have you been?”
“Thanks to you, I was living a comfortable life with my apostle.”
Levinenov smiled quietly.
“It’s all thanks to you. “Taesan.”
“I’m glad you look comfortable.”
“iced coffee! And there is good news!”
Einzhar’s eyes lit up.
“As you know, the aftermath of the war is not over. Many gods are dead, and many planets are unstable. Mr. Levinenov is planning to go to one of them!”
“Are you regaining your faith?”
“yes! Protect the planet and receive their faith! Mr. Levinenov can regain his former strength!”
“It’s still an uncertain story. “They might believe me.”
Levinenov comforted Einzhar, but his expression was not bad.
“That’s a good thing. Congratulations.”
Taesan congratulated them wholeheartedly.
Going down the labyrinth again, he saw the guides of sin. When they saw Taishan, they were scared and retreated.
“Relax. “I have no intention of doing anything to you now.”
“Then…”
“It looks like you’re going down the labyrinth.”
“yes yes.”
Ambrecia nodded hesitantly.
“It’s still difficult, but it’s going down little by little.”
They were working hard to conquer the labyrinth in their own way.
Descending further, Taesan met Diana, Beldenkia, and Lilith.
“oh. Tae… no. Taesan!”
Lilith greeted me with a happy face.
“You’re here!”
“Why Jondae?”
“no. “It’s a little awkward, but I think it’s right to do it this way.”
Lilith scratched her head.
“Do what’s comfortable for you.”
“okay. “Then I’ll speak informally.”
“You’re here.”
“You came.”
Diana and Beldenkia also welcomed Taesan.
“Are you resting well?”
“so so.”
Beldenkia spoke calmly.
“For now, I was just taking a break.”
God of fall. The scars that Essence left on Diana are not small. Because his spirit needed to be healed, he was resting here with Lilith and Beldenkia.
“I have some good news.”
“good news?”
“By talking to the wizard. “Once again… I can go down the labyrinth.”
“Is that possible?”
“It was originally impossible. Because the princess failed and I was bound by a contract. But they said it was a special case because they still worked hard to save the universe.”
Beldenkia grinned. The two helped defeat monsters on Earth. It seemed like the wizard was quite pleased with the help.
“Not right now… but I’m going down the labyrinth again.”
Diana’s eyes twinkled in quiet struggle. Lilith muttered as if she was disappointed.
“Then I’ll be alone again?”
“Lilith. Aren’t you a contractor in the labyrinth? “We will meet in the labyrinth anyway.”
“Hmm. That’s right…”
“You seem to be just as good as you are.”
“It’s good! look!”
Lilith swings her arms. Tangible mana takes shape and is soon implemented.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Fireworks explode.
It was a high-density magic that could not be considered as having been activated by Lilith.
“look! “We made it this far!”
Lilith spins around and shouts.
“It’s all thanks to you! Taesan!”
* * *
Taishan continued to descend the labyrinth.
The many people he met in the labyrinth, including Kothrun.
See them again and talk to them.
Many beings were living in this universe that he protected and saved for their own desires and for their own lives.
It was also meaningful to Taesan.
And finally, Taishan arrived at the end.
The end of the labyrinth.
On the 100th floor.
“hi.”
The wizard was there.
“What’s going on in the labyrinth?”
“just. “I want to see the path I walked again.”
“So how was it?”
“Not bad.”
“That’s a good thing.”
The wizard looks at Taesan with a smile.
“You heard it from the demon god, right?”
Taesan nodded.
The Demon God spoke to Taesan before leaving.
The transcendent ones will find you.
Not for reasons of great causes or universal issues, but for extremely personal reasons.
“The universe was slowly being put in order. Even the transcendentalists have some spare time. So… we also want to fulfill our desires.”
The wizard speaks softly.
“Taesan. “Do you know how transcendence is achieved?”
“To give yourself to that concept.”
Literally. yourself. You have to give everything.
After receiving the promise of the faith of all demons, the demon god reached the level of a concept god.
In other words, you cannot become a transcendent unless you reach the level of faith of all demons alone.
“The transcendentals, including me, literally gave everything. In the end, I became a transcendent person. “For that reason, we have absolute pride.”
Such pride that I am the greatest in the universe.
“Of course, there is a certain level of disparity in power and rank among transcendents, but they think themselves greater than anyone else. So I don’t reveal myself to anyone and I have no intention of doing so. Because in the concept you dominate, you are the greatest.”
God of fall. Essence governs the very concept of fall in the universe. There is no one that comes closer to falling than him.
God of victory. Baltaza rules the very concept of victory in the universe. There is no one who comes closer to victory than him.
No one can reach his own concept.
That was a common thought held by all transcendents.
“But paradoxically, about the place you have reached. “You want to show off to others what you have accumulated.”
I have reached this point.
I dominate the concept of the universe.
How did you get there?
I am this great.
“Am I the target?”
“Because you are the absolute entity of the universe that everyone recognizes.”
The finger points towards Taesan.
Taesan has reached a greater and higher level than any other transcendent.
That fact is an undeniable truth.
So Taesan could show himself.
“The Demon God probably showed you the past for that reason. “She must have wanted to tell someone about herself.”
The wizard wags his finger. There, the concept of the labyrinth comes together.
“I am the master of the labyrinth. “A lofty person who has abandoned his own concept and taken control of this small realm.”
The wizard’s eyes shine with starlight.
The universe is contained within it.
“What kind of transcendent was I?”
A soft voice rings out.
“What did I create the labyrinth for? My own desire that no other transcendent knows. I want to show it to you. And I want to hear your thoughts.”
The wizard leaned back in his chair.
“That’s not just my wish.”
Feeling countless gazes. The concepts contained therein.
struggle and death.
Victory.
select.
knife.
There are countless others, each and every one of them, who govern the concept that penetrates the entire universe.
“There should be a lot.”
“In a way, this can be said to be another wish of ours.”
An opportunity to prove what you have built up to someone who is stronger than anyone else and greater than anyone else.
Until now, Taesan had been tested by them and had to prove himself.
But now the relationship has become the opposite.
“Are you going to accept it?”
A soft question. Taesan kept his mouth shut.
Numerous gazes and emotions felt.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“I accept it.”
