Chapter 1092
Episode 256 Morganiel (1)
Something that never changes.
Conquering over hundreds of dimensions, Octavia became a prominent presence in Keliak at some point.
It wasn’t because she was particularly strong or a particularly great person. Rather, Octavia has never shined as brightly in any world as the members of the Bamul Alliance or Kingelo.
“gray.”
Octavia flinches.
“In all those worlds, you always stood in a gray area.”
-Andrey was a shallow guy with little talent. But he was also an excellent conspirator. No matter how dirty I tried or how dirty experiments I continued, there was no need to explain to Andrei. Because he always understood me.
-Ah…
-On the other hand, how was it for you? When we, including Sandra and Beradin, were conducting various experiments, you participated in all the evil deeds. However, he always showed an ambiguous attitude with an uneasy expression on his face. There was no effort to cross the line or not to cross it. I stood in a gray area, rationalizing that it was all for the good of the family.
Gray, as soon as Octavia heard those words, she remembered the words that Keliac of the 677th dimension had said. It was the most humiliating moment in Octavia’s life.
“It’s really amazing. Even fools like Bouvard Gaston and Ainas Caligo woke up as heroes in some worlds, but you never once changed your disgusting attitude. “Not once.”
Keliak thought about the images of Octavia he had seen in past dimensions.
Half of them were killed by him when he killed the Keliac of that world, and half of them were sure to die even if left alone. Either they could not adapt to the integrated zip code and were purged, or they committed suicide out of shame.
“…What do you want to say?”
“There is still something in the world that I cannot see. For example, you could say it is an old concept such as fate or fate. In any situation, regardless of the variables, a certain result is always achieved. Like you, who always stands in a gray area, or Kingelo’s Orgal, who always rebels against me. “I don’t like that.”
“It’s hard to understand.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to understand. However, I plan to protect you this time. “If anyone from the Demon Gods tries to purge you, I will trample on him, and I will not allow you to end your own life.”
“Why do you want to do that?”
“Because I’m curious as to whether you will still be standing in the gray area like always, even if I directly intervene. Orgal, I have never been able to create a world where he doesn’t resist me from the start. This may be because my power cannot yet change the fate of someone as distinguished as he is. But you don’t have anything that great.”
Octavia did not show any sign of displeasure. It wasn’t because I was afraid of Keliak, but because I couldn’t deny his assessment.
“So I want to test myself through you. Do I really have the power to change the unchanging? Even if it’s still too much to climb, even if it’s the fate of an insignificant person like you. If not, I must not kill Malugia.”
“Whoa.”
“Make sure you survive and enjoy a long life. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to be reborn as a shining being once in a while. Or, it’s okay to become a monster like me that will never exist again. “But aren’t you my younger brother?”
Octavia looked up at Keliak without answering. The light fluttering in his eyes seemed to contain both madness and affection.

A golden sphere large enough to cover the sky.
The union members continued to express admiration as they looked up at the sphere. It was the moment when the aerial fortress Laprarosa, the ultimate weapon of the Ming Dynasty, appeared in Tikan for the first time.
The scale was much smaller than that of Ram or the Tower of Story, a ship operated by evil spirits in the past, but because of that, it felt even more intimidating.
Inside the hull, Veltian, who had been transformed into a power source, was restrained along with auxiliary power equivalent to a thousand Golden Ships.
Every time the air fortress Laprarosa moved little by little, the space nearby was distorted. This happened only in the aftermath of the power being activated.
“Hmph, just ten years ago, they said Kojek was a weapon that could destroy the world… but now it’s a laughable story compared to these air fortresses. Isn’t that right, son-in-law?”
Talaris said, looking up at Laprarosa.
“According to Orgal, Kojek, owned by the Demon Gods, is still of that status.”
“It’s okay, because Siron will be back for us too. The world is dark and rotting, but the thought that I will soon see someone I can call a friend for the first time in a long time… I feel strangely comforted. If Siron comes, we should go see him together. “Your father would have wanted to honor Ron too.”
“of course.”
Union members heading to the Black Sea were ascending the air fortress and each fleet. Jin looked around at them and thought about his enemies, especially Malugia.
‘Clearly, Malugia did not intentionally influence Veltian.’
Jin was sure.
The power of Malugia that I experienced in the Empire that day would have been able to free Veltian no matter how far the distance was to Tikan.
‘The reason we didn’t release Veltian was probably because we wanted to use him to complete the air fortress. That’s why they wanted to go to the Black Sea with an air fortress like they do now, or to fight against the Demon Goddess.’
Since the day the empire fell, the Jyn-Bamul alliance has continued to be used by Malugia. Like a swamp, I was being dragged into a situation that had no choice but to be like that.
But Jin was not offended.
‘It’s rather unpleasant for Malugia to use me. It means that unity is needed right now, so it can be reversed.’
Malugia’s design hardened like a stalactite over a long period of time.
Find and poke at any loopholes that may be as small as a speck of dust. Until that moment came anyway, it would have been better to be used by Malugia. To avoid a future destroyed by Keliak.
All Union members leaving for the Black Sea took up positions in air forts and ships. Finally, when Jin boarded the flagship Sarah, Fokal and Silkia began to open the portal.
[Jin, let’s begin. Silkia.]
“Yes, Fokal.”
The power of the sun and Silkia came together to form a huge shining ring over Tikan’s territorial waters.
“Wow, it’s spectacular.”
Soon, the rings started moving forward one by one, creating a diagonal path, like a piece of overlapping paper being unraveled, and in an instant, they were breaking through the clouds and reaching the sky.
The ring spread out so far that the eye could not follow it, and it became wider and wider. The moment the ring completely covered the horizon, Fokal and Silkia nodded.
[It’s done. Go, Jin. We will chase after you and continue to open the way.]
Cheeeeeee…!
Aerial Fortress Laprasosa was the first to begin passing through the endless loop. Laprarosa spun around for a moment as if being sucked into a whirlpool, then instantly disappeared from the sight of the alliance members.
The fleet that followed looked the same. And after a while, the coalition members who passed through the portal were able to face the Black Sea.
“Oh my… this is really the depths of the Black Sea. And that too, right near the territory of the Five Kings of the Black Sea, in the deepest part…”
Luna could not help but be shocked.
As the truth about the multiple worlds was revealed, the world changed drastically. Although it is said that the alliance also gained great strength as it had a powerful enemy that had never been seen before, it was difficult to realize that it had reached the depths of the Black Sea so easily.
“It took my father and we years to get here. It’s been several decades, including the time when my father opened the road on his own when he was young. “I feel somewhat vain.”
[There’s nothing to think about, Luna. Neither I nor Silcia would have been able to create a portal to get here if he had not opened the path in advance.]
“You don’t have to comfort me that much, Fokal. “You said something pointless.”
[I’m serious. The Black Sea, this land is like an unknown territory even to me. Siron Runkandel, you are truly a great mortal…]
Fokal was truly impressed. Just like the current Bamul Union, the fact that they had pioneered this land purely with their individual abilities before even acquiring elements such as the power of the Netherworld or the Sun God was thrilling.
“Fokal, I think we can open a path deeper. “Lord Siron is creating a gap.”
[Yes, Silkia. I was feeling it now too. Siron Runkandel welcomes us. Jin, you will be able to meet your father sooner than you thought.]
Silkia and Focal opened the portal again. This time, the rings formed faster than before, due to the influence of Shiron.
For example, he has now ‘allowed’ the Bamal coalition to enter the Black Sea. Without that permission, not even Fokal could have created a portal this far.
“Enter.”
“yes!”
As the fleet passed through the ring once more, the landscape changed rapidly.
The place the fleet arrived this time was a landscape so clean and white that it could not have been considered the Black Sea.
It was the first time even Luna, a key member of the expedition team, had seen a dazzlingly bright landscape, like a snowy field in the middle of the day.
“Where… is this? “I’ve never seen an area like this even when I was on an expedition.”
It even seemed like it was a real snow field, and something that looked like snow was falling from the sky. It was hard to believe that it was the Black Sea, and the area was filled with a magical energy. The energy was emanating from a man seated in the middle of the ground.
Siron Runkandel, he stood up and slowly opened his eyes.
“Are you here, Jin? Luna.”
“father!”
Luna was the first to jump off the bridge. She hugged Shiron without hesitation, and they looked like an ordinary father and daughter who had not seen each other in a long time.
“As you get older, do you actually turn into a child, Luna? “There are many eyes watching.”
“Well, it can be like this if you’re happy. It’s so dark outside, I’ve never missed my father more than I do now. “Anyway, Dad, where are we?”
Siron looked into Luna’s eyes and answered:
“Morganiel. “It’s his territory.”
