Episode 592 – The Stolen World (7)
– Maze
The moment Elena’s eyes turned bloodshot, the hem of ‘Domination”s clothes began to flutter.
That was a really tense moment!
— Laaaaa!
The first attack was a wave of gold sent by Elena.
The moment the wave of power that had spread out at an invisible speed struck Domination, the hood Domination was wearing fluttered again!
“ah?”
You were hit directly by the power of justice, and not a single hair on your head was hurt?
It wasn’t like I was hit directly, but like my entire body was transformed into an opaque illusion!
Hey, is that his legacy?
“Calmly, calmly! There’s a misunderstanding!”
Dominion tried to make excuses in a hurry, but Elena continued to pour out her strength without answering, forcing Dominion to run away in a hurry.
Domination defended itself ceaselessly, even while receiving the power of justice in fluttering robes.
“If you have any sense, think about it. Do you really think I molested Miro?”
“Be quiet!”
“This is humanity’s last hope, so do not use excessive physical force. I don’t know what your definition of justice is, but at least it won’t be like this… .”
Domination, that’s for real!
You suddenly explain your actions in the middle of a fierce battle?
This is a response that comes from knowing the characteristics of justice.
Because proving your innocence itself can weaken justice!
Then, suddenly, Elena hugged me and started moving at incredible speed!
As we were leaving the isolation area where Yeji’s glass coffin was, Elena put me down.
She no longer felt the power of justice.
“Miro, you used a trick.”
“Trick?”
“You said you were going to take off your clothes, but your clothes are still perfectly fine. In the first place, it’s strange that someone can’t control their lust in a place like this.”
Eight!
Why is Elena so unnecessarily perceptive only at times like this!
“Try to fool me better next time.”
“huh?”
“Take off your top. Or else, say you were assaulted and harmed yourself.”
“…”
I’m not saying don’t lie, but do it so that it’s not easily detected?
Oh, Elena has changed quite a bit too!
“Ugh… .”
“Elena?”
Instead of answering, Elena moaned softly and fell to her knees.
Without the protection of justice, hearing the voice of the ark, it seems difficult to endure even 10 seconds!
She whispered, panting for breath.
“Justice was much weaker than usual. If it had gone to a war of attrition, apart from your tricks, the other party might have won…”
“Elena!”
“Run. Run for about 30 seconds and then call Ga-in.”
With those words, Elena crouched down and began to say something strange.
“It’s cramped and stuffy. Why am I trapped in a place like this? No one understands this suffering -”
Ominous imagination!
The voice and atmosphere that make you feel depressed just by listening to it spread like a plague everywhere.
I ran quickly and counted the seconds before I was swept away.
1, 2, 3… 30!
— Clang!
The clock hands turn back and this time Gain appears!
I hurriedly relayed the situation, and before I could finish speaking, Gain summoned the sacred sun and flew up while holding me with one hand.
“Whoa!”
“Let’s go quickly. There’s no way that guy is the only combatant in a place like this.”
Holding onto me with one hand, and waving the other hand frantically in the air!
“Are you writing something in the status window?”
“I have to let everyone know. They’re having a game on the ark right now.”
“Where are you going now?”
“Sister Eunsol. Next is brother Jincheol and Seungyeop.”
I understand!
After finding Eunsol and getting the flute, you plan to use that power to protect Jincheol and Seungyeop and do something, right?
As expected, I’m the only one who can read Ga-in’s mind!
— Boohoo!
A tremendous speed that makes the air shake noisily!
Thanks to that, I definitely knew that the ark was really, really big.
At that moment, a voice was heard from the pure white ceiling of the ark.
“Stop. You were chosen to protect the ark, so why are you doing such a violent thing?”
“Shut up! You kidnapped me without permission, what are you -”
“You are saved. Life after the end is guaranteed, so there is no reason to stand against it. Return to the right path, and your violent actions up to now will no longer be an issue.”
“Don’t lie! You’re trying to brainwash me with the voice of the ark -”
“Miro, don’t react to each one. Instead, look ahead.”
When I looked straight ahead at Gain’s words, I saw that the hallway was literally full.
“ah?”
“The ark passengers are blocking the door.”
“door?”
“There are colleagues beyond that door.”
“…”
The power of the Time Lender alone is not enough to occupy the Ark.
So, I also need to wake up my colleagues, including Lee Eun-sol, Cha Jin-cheol, and Park Seung-yeop.
In particular, Seungyeop, who can reproduce the power of ‘Fortuna’ for a limited time, is absolutely necessary!
However, other passengers are blocking the entrance to the space where my colleagues are sleeping.
“…”
Everyone’s eyes are hazy, as if they were possessed by Ark’s voice.
Even if I try to convince her to be quiet, she won’t listen, and even if I use my ‘voice’, it’s meaningless.
What if Gain writes a magic book?
An ordinary person could easily take down a few of them, but now that the power of the ‘Voice of the Ark’ and the Grimoire are at odds, it’s hard to guarantee victory.
So, there is one easy way to remove that ‘veil of humanity’.
“…”
A dizzying amount of energy is contained in Ga-in’s silently outstretched fingertips!
“You, do not cross the line. Even in war there is a way.”
“If you’re going to talk about the Tao, you shouldn’t set up human shields.”
“It was not me who set it up. It was the survival instinct of the ark that warned against your violence. This is everyone’s will.”
The instinct of the ark or whatever!
You’re acting nice while you’re placing hostages on my path!
“Gain! Just burn it all! Don’t waste time -”
– Flash!
– Phagec!
A strange clash of forces.
An opaque wall of unknown identity appeared and blocked Gain’s laser.
But the laser’s path wasn’t aimed at the hostage from the beginning!
In a moment of confusion, Gain muttered.
“As expected, it was a bluff.”
“uh?”
“They took us hostage to threaten us. We really don’t want a large number of passengers to die.”
Soon, Gain looked at me with clear eyes.
“maze.”
“huh?”
“Blocking the entrance with hostages has no meaning to me from the start.”
I thought of that when I saw the action of tapping someone on the shoulder along with those words.
Oops! I forgot about the existence of the ‘teleportation tattoo’ because Ga-in doesn’t usually use it!
“Laser just wanted to see how the opponent would react. Just wait a minute. And… .”
Just before I ignored the hostage and teleported to where my colleagues were, Gain whispered to me.
“That didn’t sound like something you’d say. Always be aware of another you.”
*
After the bluff was exposed, the unknown party no longer used passengers as hostages.
Thanks to this, it was quick to rescue the other comrades, but the problem of occupying the ark was just beginning.
— Doo doo doo doo…!
A violent vibration is heard from all directions!
I staggered from the intense vibration for a moment, but Jincheol, who had just woken up, picked me up.
“Eww! What is this?”
Seungyeop, who had been bouncing around here and there, shouted.
“Do you feel the vibration? It feels like something really big is approaching!”
“Should we have a game? Big sis -!”
“Don’t call me because my mouth hurts! Gain-ah! Listen to me!”
Even during this time, Eunsol was waving both arms and periodically blowing air into the flute, but honestly, I couldn’t hear a proper sound.
But seeing that Jincheol and Seungyeop are fine, the flute of peace is also a very strange thing.
“Ugh! Is it stopped now?”
“It seems like we haven’t stopped, we’ve arrived!”
Unfortunately, Seungyeop’s words were true!
A thrilling movement felt across the hallway, a writhing figure instantly darkening the light-filled ark!
Seungyeop’s face had turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and moved forward.
and –
Finally someone showed up.
A monster wearing a suit out of nowhere.
However, his body was ridiculously large and his clothes were constantly wiggling.
It’s as if something underneath my clothes is constantly trying to escape!
“It’s hard to understand.”
The voice that was heard from the ceiling just a moment ago!
You tried to take the hostage but it didn’t work out so you came out yourself?
who is this?
It’s not domination.
Another silent one?
“It is understandable that the unchosen ones would act like rascals. But you, who have already earned the right to be residents of the new land, are acting so violently?”
“I told you I have no intention of going to new lands!”
“What do you mean, if I don’t go?”
“what -”
“Stop shouting and listen. I think you don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Eunsol, who had been playing the flute incessantly, frowned and put the flute down for a moment.
“What do you mean you don’t know? I was kidnapped out of nowhere after hearing a strange sound from the sky?”
“It’s not kidnapping, it’s salvation.”
Ga-in, who was supporting Eun-sol, spoke calmly.
“It’s not salvation, it’s a trap.”
“pitfall?”
“Moreover, it is just a repetition of meaningless escapes.”
The opponent muttered to Ga-in, shaking his strangely twisted face from side to side.
“You seem to know quite a bit about the Ark already, but I’m genuinely curious. What made you decide that?”
“…”
Subtle delay.
The other person might think that Ga-in was worried, but I vaguely felt it.
Right now, Gain is communicating with Gain outside through the ‘status window’!
“You’re trying to convince us.”
“Because the Ark needs you. You have been chosen as the guardians of humanity. Let me ask you again: Why do you think the Ark is a trap?”
“First, escaping to the ark does not mean that the source of the apocalypse disappears. Unless opportunities are infinite, there will inevitably come a limit at some point.”
“That’s not entirely wrong. What about the second one?”
Gain’s next expression was closer to pure curiosity.
“I don’t understand.”
“what?”
“From what I’ve found out so far, the Ark is a god-like entity.”
“Yes.”
“How did the Administration create God?”
“…”
“I have powers similar to the Ark. Powers that I got from the hotel that allow me to gather people’s souls. Even with that power, I can’t do what the Ark does.”
Gain’s second question.
What is impossible even for the divine sun is possible for the ark.
How could the Administration create such a divine being?
and –
The wriggler stretched his arms or ‘lump’ upward.
“I hope this will sufficiently answer your questions.”
— Teeing!
A clear sound ringing in your ears.
The sound of the huge glass vibrating!
We heard this sound several times in ‘Room 207’.
“The fundamental technology of the ark has already been forgotten. We also do not know the principles and only repeat them. However, there is a great treasure that constitutes the fundamental principles of that technology… .”
— Saaaa!
As the unpleasantly bright light faded, one of the ark’s secrets was revealed.
“This is what ancient humans unearthed underground in the Iberian Peninsula -”
“The Mirror of Yaldabaoth!”
“- How did you know?”
The entire ceiling of the ark was covered with a mirror so enormous that it could not be seen at a glance!
*
“User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 224
Current location: Northern Territory, Australia
Wise Man’s Advice: 3”
– Han Ga-in
While I was constantly communicating with someone through the status window, some surprising information came in.
“ah…!”
“What? What is it?”
I muttered blankly as I watched my grandfather working hard.
“There is a mirror in the ark.”
“what?”
“They say it’s even bigger than what Aidia built on the moon.”
“Don’t we know more or less about mirrors? How did they build the ark with them?”
“…”
The sacred sun and mirror.
Connecting these two, I felt like I vaguely knew what the ark was.
Also, I thought I knew why what was impossible for the divine sun was possible for the ark.
