Wise Man’s Advice: 3”
– Han Ga-in
A week has passed since Prince Emilio and Aleph fell.
The companions and the previous wisdom have already gone outside the moon and are making final preparations for the ending.
The role of the ancestors is especially important because of the plunderers.
What if my hotel colleagues and I had to trick the looters?
I can guarantee that everything would have been much more difficult.
Because the raiders or the alliance cannot trust us.
It’s possible because it’s the predecessor.
Because he is the one who brought together the arks of raiders wandering the sea of ??chaos and created the alliance.
Even as a union, it would be unimaginable that the ancestors who led the union together for eons would betray it.
Ari is doing similar work to her predecessors at the management office.
“Saint.”
“Aren’t you a saint now? I swallowed the prince.”
Actually, it’s not even a betrayal.
If the plan goes well, those in the plunderer’s ark will also be able to gain new life.
The previous generation also paid attention to this part, and if you think about it, they may also have some kind of loyalty to the alliance they have been with for a long time.
Or, you might think that getting there will give you a chance to challenge the 3rd floor.
“Then, Prince?”
“Just call me by my name.”
“The great celestial god who is with the gods of heaven and earth and the ruler of eternity -”
“It looks like they’re all ready outside, judging by the way they’re joking around.”
Aidya nodded.
“We’ve received a call from the ground. They say they’ve succeeded in persuading the Administration and the Marauders’ Association.”
“…”
“They began to believe that the prince was dead, that the crown was powerless, and that they had no control over the moon.”
“You fooled me easier than I thought?”
To deceive the administration and the looters.
It may seem like a difficult task, but if you take a step back and look at it, it is entirely possible.
This is because neither force knows much about the ‘moon’ anyway.
The political skills of the previous generations’ wisdom must have also been a big reason.
“They say the ancestors played a funny prank.”
“A funny number?”
“The moon is like a weapon without a master, and whoever moves first may get it.”
“ah?”
“He threw out a remark that could be interpreted this way.”
Also, since the public enemy, the moon, has been resolved, the Administration and the Alliance have no choice but to prepare for a civil war within the Alliance.
“With the threat from the moon gone, they must now gather their strength to fight amongst themselves. In other words -”
“The pressure on the moon will soon be lifted.”
Forty minutes later, as Our Lady had said, the pressure from the Looters’ Alliance and the Administration disappeared.
Another hour and thirty minutes had passed.
“According to the contact, within 3 minutes -”
— Boom!
“- It was now.”
A subtle vibration was felt throughout the moon.
What kind of vibration is this?
The ‘Final Flash’ is the sound of the moon seal under Australia being destroyed!
An underground sealed facility in Australia that kept the moon trapped inside the Earth for a long time.
Pressure from the Administration and Marauders began with the conquest of the moon.
Both are gone.
There is nothing that can suppress the moon now!
— Saaaaa…!
The gently shining crown revealed an auspicious presence.
Aleph has robbed the prince of his destiny, and I am one with that Aleph!
The crown no longer rejected me.
“I’ll get started. Watch closely.”
“sure.”
I took the last step.
*
The first thing I became aware of was the vast expansion of my consciousness.
Imagine dropping black paint into clear water without any trace.
The spirit of the person named ‘Han Ga-in’ spread throughout the huge soul cluster called the moon.
Michael, Sophie, Carlos, Eugene, Maria, Lucas, Jennifer, Tahir, Elizabeth, Minsu, Daniel, Aya, John, Suzy, Martin, Naomi, Thomas – and there are so many more!
Countless spirits felt like they were part of me, yet at the same time they were clearly distinct things.
For a fleeting moment, I was the one star standing at the center of 300 billion souls, a great being born to fulfill everyone’s longing.
At the same time, it was nothing.
It was nothing more than a current created in the whirlwind of a stormy mind and soul, something worthless even to the weakest spirit.
The greatest being.
The most insignificant being.
Or, it was a being that fell outside of these categories.
“…!”
A truly transcendent feeling of elation, as if you had truly become a star in the heavens!
I am sure that I also have the prince’s memories.
This is the strongest moment since the birth of the ‘moon’!
Prince Emilio?
He didn’t have the same enlightenment as me, so he couldn’t use the power of the entire moon, and he had to waste a lot of power trying to control the contradictions.
If I had to be specific, would the prince who appeared in front of the maze right before turning back time be similar to me now?
“Ha, ha! Hahaha!”
I laughed out loud in a dizzying sense of omnipotence.
At that moment, I understood Aleph, who had endured eons of time to change destiny!
The first thing we need to do is to get out of the Earth.
This is more difficult than you might think, even now that the seal has been removed.
Well, what would happen if the moon were to just pop out from inside the Earth?
A tectonic shift of an absurd scale occurs and the world is destroyed.
— Dddddddd…!
The shell breaks and the boundary between reality and unreality collapses.
That’s the moment when we were preparing to leap into reality!
“ah…!”
The excitement quickly turned into admiration.
Because I vaguely realized the true nature of the seal that had kept the moon trapped within the Earth until now.
Strangely enough, the Earth’s inner core, outer core, and mantle were all separate.
Then what other world was the moon trapped in?
no!
The moon was physically clearly inside the Earth.
There is no space within the Earth where the moon could fit, but the moon was physically ‘overlapping’ in the same area.
What does this mean?
I don’t know either!
The prince didn’t know, the contradiction didn’t know, and I didn’t know either.
Until just now, I thought I was a god, like I knew everything and could do everything!
The high spirits that had been soaring high into the sky suddenly return to the realm of humility.
Thanks to this, we were able to be 100% sure of the source of the force that trapped the moon within the Earth.
What kind of greatness of some ancient civilization is this or that – absolutely not.
Definitely a hotel or school!
Whatever the name, it’s that place.
Just as my colleagues and I used the hourglass and One More Chance to defeat the prince, someone from ancient times obtained something unknown and trapped the moon inside the Earth.
Those who accomplished this feat would have ascended to heaven long ago.
…
A pale, utterly empty universe.
I looked at the blue star as if I were a living star.
At this moment, the ground was filled with people screaming in fear and awe.
The sky was full of all kinds of marauders, all of whom were startled and trying to run away somewhere.
It’s a pointless tantrum.
— Gooooo… !

“Date: 241st day -> 243rd day”
Absorbed five raiders in two days.
On the first day, in the first ark I absorbed, a woman with a rather mysterious aura appeared before me in a welcoming state.
It seemed like a similar position to the ‘silent one’ in the management office.
She had a pained expression on her face, and when I asked her why, she shouted in a voice full of anger.
“What the heck is this!”
“A choice for all?”
“Father, I’m sure they must have negotiated the covenant with each other!”
“Do you think the Book of Oaths can force me now?”
“How can you say such an unbelievable thing!”
“No, I just asked out of pure curiosity.”
I wasn’t trying to fool around, I was just genuinely curious.
Will the legacy of Patrick, the binding power of the Book of Covenants, apply to me now that I am united with the crown?
Can the power of inheritance be used to force a being to be like a prisoner?
At first glance, it may seem absurd, but there are cases where even prisoners are swayed without mercy, such as the Flute of Rest or One More Chance.
The limits of the heritage are determined by the hotel.
If the hotel decides that it will work, then it will work.
But, that’s irrelevant now.
“Don’t forget. The negotiations between us were not a non-aggression pact in the first place.”
“what -”
“First, the Marauders will actively cooperate with us until the end of the Moon Conquest. Second, the hotel party will not intervene in any conflicts between the Management Bureau and the Marauders or between the Marauders. Third, the above contents will be written in the Oath Book. If violated, the price will be death.”
The second one is the most important.
‘Do not intervene in conflicts between the Administration and the looters or between looters.’
“Are the Administration and the Marauders playing the same game right now? Or have you already started it among yourselves? I don’t think so.”
He declared to his opponent, whose eyes were wide open.
“It’s just the process of me uniting with the moon and devouring you all. Or -”
“Or?”
“I am the prince soon. Therefore, the conquest of the moon is not over and will never end.”
Which logic is being applied?
I don’t know about that, but it’s clear that the Book of Oath doesn’t put any pressure on me.
“T-This is such a godless devil…!”
“God? Speaking of God, wasn’t this negotiation subject full of loopholes from the start?”
“what?”
“For example, there’s nothing that says the Union shouldn’t attack us after the lunar conquest is over, right?”
For a moment, the other person was speechless.
“This must have been what you were thinking. Why would there be any loopholes in the negotiations? They would happen because both sides want to find loopholes.”
Everyone involved in the negotiations was trying to deceive each other.
Well, I just won.
—Whoosh!
“iced coffee….”
He whispered one last thing to her as she despaired.
“Do not be afraid.”
“…”
“The suffering will not last long, for at the end of it you too will obtain new life and paradise.”
Since then, there haven’t been many events that could be called grand ‘fights’.
This is because, throughout the period of the lunar conquest, the raiders and the administration had focused all their efforts on suppressing the moon, and had consumed a lot of resources in the process.
It was just a tedious process of chasing the fleeing arks that had lost their will to fight.

“Date: 243rd day -> 254th day”
Finally, we succeeded in trapping all the raiders inside the moon.
I stood silently, watching the Earth from the empty space.
Now the only thing left for me to do is to lay down my crown.
“…”
I didn’t want to put it down.
I really, really didn’t want to do it.
So I thought and thought again.
Isn’t there something more to do?
Since we have gained such great power, why not do more good things for the world?
This is by no means a personal greed.
My dedication to all mankind –
“Advice: 3 -> 0”
“If you’re thinking of putting it down, now is the time.”
“…”
He took off his crown.
Once again, it fell from heaven to earth.
It might be even more painful.
The mind has reached the great realm but has lost its strength.
but….
This is a choice to not be bound by the world.
It’s one step back to take two steps forward.
I believed that and endured the pain of the fall.

“Day 254 -> Day 255”
Early in the morning, the Virgin Mary appeared.
“You said you were returning to Earth today?”
“that’s right.”
A moment of silence.
Soon, she opened her mouth as if she couldn’t bear it anymore.
“finally -”
“I’ve already heard the word ‘finally’ five times.”
“… I’ll ask you one last time. Are you really going to give me the crown and the moon?”
“Haven’t I explained the reason sufficiently?”
“Say it again, so that I can trust myself!”
