— Kookung!
Vibrations that shake the floor!
This is evidence that a battle is still raging in the center of the ark.
Ari, who had a tired expression on her face, also got up.
“Let’s go now. Eunsol-”
The sleeping gas was so effective that Eunsol still hasn’t come to her senses.
Every time something like this happens, I realize that my sister is physically no different from an ordinary person.
“It’s better to leave him behind. He hasn’t come to his senses yet, so it’s more dangerous to take him.”
“…Okay. What are we going to do now?”
When I heard the words, ‘What are you going to do?’ I thought.
A feeling of frustration that never leaves my mind after coming out into reality.
There were moments when I felt an unknown evil approaching, but I floundered around, not knowing what to do.
Ari, who was about to say something, was confined.
The wisdom of the past generations routinely plays around with information that only they know.
It is extremely uncertain whether the administration is good or bad.
…
We must break this suffocating flow!
“Cain?”
“Is there any way to contact the outside world from inside the ark?”
“There is something for those who are silent.”
Ari nodded and showed me a smartphone with purple flesh on it.
“I took it from Basilio’s body.”
“…”
“Contact your colleagues outside? This will become unusable after some time. As the ark is completed -”
“Contact Grandpa and tell him to ‘get ready’ now.”
He spoke to Ari and made a coin flipping motion.
Because the wisdom of the past has shown such uncanny abilities, it seemed better to avoid the clear words like ‘one more chance’.
“… It’s okay for now. The ark isn’t finished yet.”
Ari nodded at my hand and called.
— Ring!
“Mukseong-ah.”
“Oh! Ari! Finally escaped -”
“Ting~!”
The sound of clicking one’s tongue.
Is this some kind of password that Ari and Grandpa made?
Grandfather answered without saying a word.
“I did.”
Now, the time has come for the return of One More Chance.
*
By the time they reached the center of the ark, the fighting between the two silent ones and their companions had already died down.
Just as we felt the fight on this side, you must have felt that Ari and I were fighting Basilio on this side too.
They may have been waiting for a winner to emerge.
“brother!”
“Cain!”
Jincheol and Seungyeop smile brightly as soon as they see us.
The eyebrows of the ghost story maze that gave off a chilling aura also slightly curved.
“Seungyeop, are you awake?”
“There are still some left.”
“Was it more relaxed than you thought?”
“Hey, that maze is really strong….”
It is the law of the world that if there is someone who laughs, there is someone who cries.
The hooded man who had been fighting his comrades hardened his expression, and the writhing mass of flesh pressed itself against the wall.
Ari calmly extended her hand and pointed at the two.
“That man is Oswald, blessing is domination. That monster is Osdork, that is not a participant.”
The man in the hood immediately frowned.
“ari!”
“Hello! Is this your first time since our first meeting?”
“How…! You have risen to the position of the silent one, and yet you call it treason? Aren’t you ashamed?”
“treason?”
Ari tilted her head as if in disbelief, and Doji’s eyes lit up when he saw that.
“Shamelessly -!”
“for a moment!”
— Mate!
He moved to the center and caught everyone’s attention.
“Let’s just sort things out once and for all.”
“what?”
“Strictly speaking, we did not decide to destroy the ark.”
If my guess is correct, Seungyeop and Jincheol still don’t even know what an ark is.
Once the fight started, I just got caught up in it.
The one who started the fight was ‘Ghost Story Maze’, and the moment he saw Osdork, who was at the top of the management bureau while in chaos, he would have rushed at him without any questions or answers.
Because Miro was the one who entered the hotel with the crazy idea of killing all the heads of the management bureau that was teeming with monsters.
As if sensing something in my words, Dojang answered with shining eyes.
“I see you have the power to make decisions?”
That’s not wrong.
“Then, your thoughts are different from that silver-haired girl?”
“We have been deceived.”
“What?”
“I was deceived by the cunning and crafty whispers of the wisdom of the past, who constantly told me that the ark was a trap and that it was corrupting the world.”
“…”
“It was only after I met Ari that I learned the truth. The Ark was the world’s only salvation….”
Of course, Ari had never said anything like that, but she accepted my lie without being flustered.
As if he had really convinced me that he shouldn’t destroy the ark!
“Oswald. Don’t you think it’s time to apologize for the word treason?”
Jincheol and Seungyeop had expressions full of ‘?’, but they took a step back quietly as if they were going to follow what I said anyway.
At this point, Dominion, who felt the mood change, answered.
“I apologize. I was foolish. Osdork!”
“Ugh… I didn’t know the fight would end like this?”
The writhing mass of flesh also muttered in a hissing tone and slowly transformed into the shape of a pot-bellied man.
The last one left.
“maze.”
“…”
Eerie, glowing eyes like those of a demon are turned towards me.
A look that asks, “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Then Ari took a step forward.
“mother.”
“…Ariya.”
“Trust me.”
“…”
Let’s think about the attitude the ghost story maze showed during the trip down memory lane.
Now, Miro trusts Ari’s judgment more than his own.
Because it is a being that you created, that resembles you, and that has gone further than you.
It means that as much as Ari loves Miro, Miro also trusts Ari.
The subtle gazes of the two people intersect.
His colleagues, as well as Dominion and Osdork, watched the situation in silence.
“under!”
Miro burst into laughter.
“Okay, Ariya. Let’s do as you wish.”
With those words, the dark blue fog that had clouded the pure white space began to clear.
— Mate!
As if he had been waiting, Doji clapped his hands and said.
“Young wisdom! What a wise decision! To have noticed the scheme of the previous wisdom? Indeed, the name of wisdom is not ashamed!”
“…”
“I will leave all the conflicts that have occurred until now unanswered. In situations where information is lacking, it is easy to make mistakes! You are truly warriors, and in the next world, you will be the defenders of humanity -”
“…”
Unlike Doji, who was rejoicing and talking to himself, Ari and his colleagues looked at me as if wondering what I was going to do next.
I waited.
The voice of wisdom from the past who cannot accept this situation!
In the first place, this author is someone I can talk to no matter where I am, right?
‘You… really didn’t understand what I said?’
“Oh, you’re just joining in now?”
The ruling party, who had noticed the conversation between me and the wisdom of my ancestors, immediately tried to intervene.
“Young man! Don’t listen to the devil’s voice -”
“Let’s be quiet. Sir, do you have anything to say?”
‘That’s what they said, the ark was the cause of the fall!’
“How can I believe that?”
‘Your colleagues would have admitted it too! The Ark was the cause of the Fall!’
This part is something Ari also acknowledged.
The Administration also knows that there is a problem with the Ark, but they just haven’t found a better solution.
So I answered roughly.
“Ah, I don’t know.”
‘what -‘
“If you’re going to do it, use your strength properly.”
‘…’
A question that has been lingering for some time as I have been in harmony with the wisdom of the past generations.
These kids, weren’t you planning on going to conquer the Ark separately from us and have a go at the Administration?
But let’s look at the forces.
Excluding the common soldiers who don’t really matter, the only real strongmen who stand at the forefront are Ryan and Patrick.
How can we conquer the ark with just these two people?
There are at least three silent ones in the ark?
The answer is simple.
The wisdom of the past has more hidden secrets!
He was just trying to save his own cards and use them in our place.
“Dominant! Did you say your name was Oswald?”
“That’s right.”
“When will the ark be completed?”
“There’s still a long way to go. I have to hold out for at least 4 months….”
He spoke as if he was telling someone who was watching the situation right now.
“For the remaining period, we will protect you thoroughly.”
and –
— Doo doo doo doo…!
“Eww!”
“Ugh!”
“This is…!”
An enormous magical power sweeps through the surroundings with explosive momentum.
In the end, the patience of the ancestors who tried to save strength whenever possible reached its limit!
The space within the ark began to disintegrate and the view in all directions began to blur.
“I advised you on the right path… How can you be so foolish?”
“Is this your number? You can fuck around in reality once? Or how many more times?”
“You’re using your brain. Even if you do, nothing will change.”
A dim shadow.
The boundary between man and spirit.
A sense of intimidation that cannot be compared to other contestants I’ve encountered so far!
The image of the wisdom of the ancestors that had been crouching for a long time began to float away.
“Excuse me, is that really a person?”
“Eww! Go, Gain-ah! Bird, you have a mind!”
Seungyeop is shocked and Jincheol is flustered with his mouth wide open.
Domination and Osdork hurriedly tried to stop the manifestation of the wisdom of the past, but it did not seem to work.
Yeah, this is it.
Did the wisdom of the past have this kind of power?
Since I can do this much, I guess I should take over the ark!
— Thud!
Ari grabbed me with an urgent expression.
“Is that enough for you to see that?”
“huh?”
“Wasn’t the goal to see the hidden wisdom of the ancestors?”
Ari knows that the return point of ‘One More Chance’ was set a little while ago.
I guess I’m just going out there thinking I can turn back time.
So, what I’m saying is, ‘If you’ve seen this far, let’s turn back time.’
“It’s dangerous! Isn’t that monster half a prisoner?”
“That’s amazing.”
“what?”
“How can you be so strong?”
“what -”
—Whoosh!
I think about it as I feel the pressure of the wisdom of the past rising in real time.
It’s really strong.
At this point, the participant’s limit has been far exceeded, and it is at a level that I would only be able to compare to when I was in Gangrim!
Even if I spent eons of time in reality, does this make sense?
“Even if you get three or four legacies, it’s an incredible power. Since it’s beyond what you can get at a hotel, there must be a special secret behind that strength -”
“Shut up! Contact Mukseong right now -”
“Contact Sang-Hyeon hyung instead of Grandpa. Quickly!”
Ari did as I asked, although her expression was confused.
In the meantime, I asked one last time.
“Advice: 3 -> 0”
‘What I’m about to do seems crazy, doesn’t it?’
“Then we must do it.”
“Foot!”
If you look at what you’re telling me to do, I guess it means that at least I won’t fail the moment I start!
“Why, why are you laughing!”
— Ring!
“brother!”
“Gen. Cain?”
“Do you trust me?”
Talk without any basis or end.
An answer that comes back without a doubt.
“Of course.”
In the past, the story that Dominion told Ari in the Australian underground.
“This structure was built a long time ago. It’s a relic from a time when the Administration was much greater than it is now. It can never be recreated.”
A while ago, when Sang-Hyeon said he wanted to shoot the final flash underground, Ryan and the others showed a violent reaction.
Combining the above information leads to one conclusion.
The structures beneath Australia are likely part of a lunar seal designed by a primordial administration that was much more powerful than the one we see today.
Thoughts that came to mind at the same time.
As confirmed in issue 206, even the time-space regression of One More Chance cannot bring back those who have lost their souls.
According to Ari, the moon devours souls.
Therefore, those who were eaten by the moon will not be able to be resurrected even if time is turned back.
Lastly, the meaning of the act of the ark annihilating the survivors with the light that calls for the end.
No matter how much the moon is, it cannot absorb the souls of the dead.
therefore….
“From the passage we were in, shoot towards the moon. Then kill yourself.”
“…”
“Do you trust me?”
The moment when even the colleagues around him were shocked by the shocking words.
A short voice came from the other end of the phone.
“… I am now death, the destroyer of worlds.”
A loud noise that felt like the phone was going to explode.
Soon, Sang-Hyeon Hyung’s position changed to —.
—Whoosh!
Perhaps right now, a flash of light has pierced through the Australian subsurface and reached the moon.
…
A distant presence emanating from the depths of the earth.
An illusion of a gloomy sphere glowing crimson.
At this point, everyone in the room realized what was happening.
The moon is waking up ‘instantly’!
— Gooooo!
Domination and Osdork muttered with soulless expressions.
“This madman…!”
The wisdom of the ancestors who finally appeared on the ark also said that they could not believe it.
“you…!”
A storm-like flow that occurred in an instant!
Ari also muttered as if she had lost her mind.
“you….”
“Ariya, let’s go all the way this time.”
The fact that various pieces of information have been transmitted one after another.
The path to the answer is hidden ‘after the end’.
So I decided to take a stab at the world.
They say the answer comes after failure, so what other option is there?
— Kookung!
“Hahaha! Let’s all finish it together!”
“You little brat with no father or mother!”
Who are you to act so rudely?
Since we are gathered among high-ranking officials, we must be respectful even if the end is near!
“Let’s get this straight! Who here has a parent?”
— Gooooo…!
The moon finally awakens!
