Episode 492 Base fertilizer (8)
I, Ho-yeol Lee.
Even after making up for a gap of ten or even years, I thought I had experienced a lot of things that other players couldn’t. This is my first time seeing a message like this.
‘…self-destruction?’
I would have been suspicious first.
What if the opponent was a demon-type monster?
You probably didn’t even snort.
But the scene that unfolded was telling.
Furthermore.
The world tree slowly disappearing behind me was giving me a sense of weight. The battle is truly over. The body that was as unwavering as a rocky mountain of Yugweed, a fused intelligence, gradually begins to collapse.
Is it better to see it because the distance is closer?
“Chief Lee Lee?”
Benshee William.
He pauses and raises his finger. I know this without having to point a finger, Senior Benshee. Not just me, but everyone here.
Hood crackle.
I couldn’t tell where it started from the upper and lower body.
They crumble and collapse all at once.
Without any resistance.
“how…?”
It takes a moment for someone to stop talking.
Eventually, attention focused on me.
The moment I first announced the reversal magic, the look in my eyes.
It’s similar to the look in your eyes back then.
‘I think you’re looking for an explanation from me…’
Well, I don’t know everything.
Is this also a {natural} ability, the power of nature with the blessing of the first world tree? I thought about it seriously… but it seemed like I was making a mistake.
That’s because I experienced it once.
‘On the Arcana Continent.’
Even if I borrowed the power of the World Tree to unlock my natural abilities.
It would not have been possible to surpass the power of the Spirit Kings.
Then, of course.
‘I guess that’s exactly what it means.’
I opened my mouth, thinking over the message that had flashed.
“Self-destruction, self-destruction.”
He continued speaking while looking at the scattered fused intelligences.
“This is your pride, Yugweed.”
*
Oried shouted.
“What are you doing this for? Are you giving up now? How did you become more useless than when you were a girl who didn’t know anything? What happened? Get out of my consciousness right now!!”
The name Fusion Intelligence is not for nothing.
Yugweed and Oried.
Because the consciousness of the two beings was fused.
This means that it had no choice but to be named a fusion intelligence. In other words, if the fused intelligence turns into dust and disappears like this. The consciousness of both beings disappeared forever.
“I’m sad. Orried, those words are hurtful. Even if it’s not the case, I’m still receiving big and small wounds as the years go by. “You tell such an old man that it’s better to be young.”
A gentle giant.
His characteristic slyness has returned.
Yugweed was no longer shaken.
It was definitely thanks to what I witnessed.
She burst out laughing.
‘Because I want to have a different ending than you.’
At this moment, Yugweed thought of the former elder wizard, Fire Dragon Karimzeba and Senios of the Perennial Snow. If things had gone as Orried wanted…
I would have met a similar end to you.
‘It would have been different depending on the intensity of Chief Lee’s disposition.’
If this chief shows mercy, he will end up like Senios, and if he does not show mercy, he will not even be able to save his body like Karimzeba.
‘In that sense, I’m going to try to force it one last time.’
Still, shouldn’t the end go as I want?
Thanks for sharing consciousness.
Oried’s voice changed as he sensed his true feelings.
“last? “Stop talking weakly, Yugweed.”
A voice that has become pretentious and fleshy.
There was no sign of him running wild until just now.
It whispers sweetly, as if cajoling a child.
However, all Yugweed could do was smile.
“I’m sorry, but I’m too old to fall for that kind of sugar-coating.”
“…you.”
“And you know that, Oried?”
Yugweed continued speaking without being at all intimidated by the Earth Spirit King, who was glaring at her as if she were going to kill him. And those words hit Oried straight to the point.
“Both you and I lost our innocence early on.”
“…!”
It is different from other spirits that have maintained purity.
Because Oried made a contract with Yugweed that should not have been made.
Yugweed finished speaking calmly.
“So you’d better stop thinking nonsense.”
Because no matter what the situation, my decision will not change.
At the same time.
It began to fall apart in earnest.
Also a fusion intelligence.
A space of consciousness where two people coexist.
Kugugoogung.
A chunk of rock falls on Oried’s head.
If you didn’t dodge quickly.
It was so big that it wouldn’t be surprising if it were crushed to death.
Orried shouted.
“I’m serious? Are you going to give up like this?”
Nod.
“…truth! So what about the truth you were pursuing?!”
Doridori.
“You’re going to give up now without any regrets…? Even though I’m crazy, I’m still crazy, and even though I’m dyed, I’m still dyed! What made you so broken? Reversal magic? Pride? You don’t really believe it, do you? A change in the shadow mercenaries!”
…Hmm.
Shadow mercenaries.
Yugweed fell into thought for a moment at those words.
But he soon shook his head.
As expected, you can’t reverse the flow of time, Chief Lee.
“Maybe it’s because I’m getting older. Some people may be disappointed, but to be honest… it happened decades ago, so my memories and desire for revenge have faded. Now it doesn’t matter what they do. So it’ll be okay.”
Slurp.
“Ah…”
At that point, Oried forgot about face and sank down in his seat.
As the saying goes, self-destruction.
The space of consciousness continued to collapse.
At this rate, Yugweed and Oried.
The consciousness of the two will be buried in the remains of the fused intelligence and disappear.
That was the outcome Yugweed wanted.
“The time has finally come to meet the end worthy of an earth mage.”
A burning flame does not age.
The same goes for ice caps that don’t melt.
But the earth is different.
Yugweed looked at the collapsing fused sapient golem.
The appearance was no different from a chunk of rock being carved away by wind and waves. The pieces of rock that were cut off like that soon crumbled to powder. It was naturally turning into dirt.
Yugweed chanted.
“From giants to dust. Let’s see, it’s time to be reborn as a foundation.”
Ssssss.
As expected.
A fusion intelligence that returns to earth.
At the same time.
The two people’s consciousness also began to fade.
Nevertheless, Yugweed held on until the last moment.
‘I don’t know what the outcome will be…’
Cracks in the incomplete prototype.
It was a rift that should have been originally closed due to the self-destruction of the fusion intelligence. The fused intelligence that turned into the foundation was connecting two completely different worlds into one land.
Yugweed burst out laughing.
“I think you guys will be able to handle it well.”
This senior Marcelo Matisse.
And even Senior Benshi.
It was a moment when Yugweed was thinking about the future of the Magic Tower.
A voice broke through my consciousness.
-“This is your pride, Yugweed.”
Be proud.
Thank you, Chief Lee, for acknowledging me.
Yugweed spoke her last words.
Yes, this is it.
Not the incompetent senior wizard of the Magic Tower.
My final choice as an earth mage.
“So you can envy me as much as you want, Senios.”
*
It disappears like a lie.
A fusion intelligence that devastated the Arcana continent and Seoul.
I reflect on what was the best I could have done.
‘…If only I were a little stronger.’
I wish I could have unlocked {Nature} stats earlier and handled [Blessing of the First World Tree] a little more skillfully. I don’t know if I could have reached a better ending.
But was that really Yugweed’s pride?
I opened my mouth.
“I salute your pride.”
It has been declared that a system that does not lie is ‘self-destructive’.
It was safe to say that the collapse of the fusion intelligence was Yugweed’s will.
Is there any evidence that it wasn’t Oried’s doing?
Of course there is. Unlike before, the fusion intelligence was completely cowering and turning into dust for fear of causing damage to the surroundings.
Soon my vision began to blink.
[Yugweed, a fusion intelligence, changes.]
[The prototype rift changes.]
[A new field appears between two completely different worlds.]
The monster that appeared has disappeared.
Originally, it was a crack that should have been cleared and disappeared.
The prototype crack remained in place.
That’s not all.
Did they look inside it using magic?
A group of skilled wizards buzzing around.
“…That thing over there! “Isn’t this the Arcana continent?”
“I see Miss Jibril! “It’s the real Arcana Continent!!”
“Shh! “Be quiet, Leanne!”
“Sigh!”
The skilled wizard noticed my gaze and quickly covered his mouth, but there was no need to do so. It seemed like the senior wizards as well as the players understood what role the Prototype Rift played.
Baek Yi-seol is shocked and mutters.
“Could it be that beyond not disappearing, a crack connecting the Arcana Continent and reality has appeared…? As the fallen fusion intelligence forms a new field…?”
Myth Guild Master.
At the same time, as a top-tier player, your reasoning skills are good.
I had the same thought.
This is Yugweed’s magic tower.
And it will be the last legacy left to reality and the Arcana continent.
Vision blinking continuously.
[The influence of a completely different world is conveyed.]
The players were probably surprised by that message.
As expected, the closest player.
Baek Yi-seol is now expressing shock.
“…buff? Could it be that it is being applied on the Arcana Continent?!”
The Arcana continent and Seoul, the capital of South Korea, were connected.
obviously.
Of course, there are numerous buffs in effect on the Arcana Continent.
[The Arcana Continent will sing its legend from now on. The cold wind blowing across the Arcana Continent has stopped, and the frozen ground is melting and trembling with vitality. : Experience gain increases by 50 percent.]
[The Spirit of the Universe is overjoyed at the reversed entropy. Their playfulness greatly distorted the causality of the Arcana Continent, but no one would blame them. : Item drop rate increases by 50%.]
[The descendants of the pure-blooded sorcerer race of twilight are scattering purple magic across the Arcana Continent. The concentration of magical power on the Arcana Continent is intensifying. The dawn of the Tsushima era begins. : Magic expression increases by 30%.]….
Also the most recent buff that came to mind.
[The ‘Age of Purity’ arrives on the Arcana Continent.]
This meant that it would be effective even in the reality beyond the Arcana Continent.
“…How should we accept this, Chief Lee?”
Healing School Senior Velier Yusia.
She asks me carefully. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t even imagine the aftermath of this situation. If there is a positive side, there will also be a negative side.
For example.
‘Rayman Shen.’
It is safe to say that this was a situation where the wonder he was pursuing was at least partially realized. But it wasn’t something to worry about right away. Well, there was something else to worry about right away.
Because I am as innocent as a child.
Curiosity is also childlike.
Beings that reveal their presence beyond the prototype crack.
Skip.
Numerous spirits stick their heads out into reality.
Are spirits in their natural state visible to the naked eye?
The person who was most surprised by the phenomenon was Feiyan, a senior in elemental studies.
“Uhhhh?”
I need to re-read all the books on elemental science, Payan.
But don’t be harsh.
No matter what, your fate is better than mine.
Soon, the eyes of the spirits that were wandering around reality turn towards me.
“!!!”
Yes, spirits.
The tears you shed are a pity.
I am alive and well like this.
I was worried that I might be like this, so I tried to say something…
“How…?”
You may or may not know my complicated feelings.
Spirits rush towards me.
Among them, there were spirit kings who were extraordinary in appearance.
The scenery of the area is spread through radio waves.
What does that mean?
[Your legend resonates in two completely different worlds.]
…What does it mean that the illusion has been spurred on!
