“congratulations!!”

“Live happily!”

It’s a beautiful scenery. A house so magnificent it looks like a palace and a spacious garden. And the guests who filled the garden.

But if you ask him what the most beautiful thing is, he won’t even think about it.

“Kyung-eun.”

Chairman Bae Jae-seok. No, the new groom Jae-seok turned his head. I looked back at my wife Kyeong-eun in her wedding dress.

Kyeong-eun’s eyes widen as their eyes meet.

“What’s wrong with your expression? “Put on a happy face before you poke your eye out.”

Jaeseok laughed despite the unexpected argument.

“Don’t you look happy? “I’m very happy.”

“… … what? “What’s wrong with you?”

“What happened? “I just love it so much.”

“It’s really strange… … .”

Jaeseok quietly looked at Kyeong-eun, who narrowed her eyes. The image of his wife, who had already been dead for over 30 years.

“It’s truly as beautiful as a dream.”

Kyeong-eun’s face turns bright red at his words.

“W-what are you talking about, are you crazy!? “Did you turn away because it was the wedding of your dreams!?”

Kyeong-eun is embarrassed! She hits her side to make her scream, but Jaeseok just stares down at her, her expression not changing at all.

“… … “Really, why are you doing that?”

“just. “Because I like it.”

In return for his help with the recovery, Jaeseok went back in time.

However, unlike other members of Recover, he did not make desperate efforts to correct the timeline. This is because his purpose had nothing to do with Recovery in the first place.

He just looked back on his past.

I saw my children being born and watched them grow up. I met and talked to friends who have now passed away, and even met my parents and had a happy time.

And what he repeated the most was the time he spent with his widowed wife, Kyeong-eun.

“It’s really strange… … .”

Kyeong-eun narrows her eyes. And that was then.

“and! “It’s Iron Mask!”

“Your Majesty!! “Your Majesty, I’m a fan!”

“I heard at first glance that Bae Jae-seok and Dae-ha were friends, but that was true… … .”

People are buzzing. It’s natural. At this time, he was still a believer in the game. Although he was not the highest level god, he still had a status comparable to that of a god.

How could it not be so, since he is a being who saved humanity, which should have been destroyed due to the apocalypse project, by displaying powers that are no different from gods in the eyes of humans?

Daeha walks through the surprised people. She is his close friend since childhood. He was a third-generation chaebol and was so unique that his life, which was extremely complicated due to his relationship with the underworld, seemed like just one of the common stories.

‘No matter what, I didn’t expect him to be a half-god or half-human.’

Jaeyeon looked back on her past memories.

‘What did he say? They shake hands and congratulate the marriage… … .’

“Wow, you.”

However, the approaching treat says something different from what I remember.

“Your liver is swollen?”

Pot!

Time stops. Kyeong-eun, whose face was flushed red, and the numerous guests who were congratulating her were also stuffed into a frozen time.

“… … Yes, if you’re a top-level god, you’re not at a level where you’ll be caught up in things like time reversal. But do you really have to come when the time is right?”

“You sound like you’re talking about good times. Why did you make things so big? God is sin. Even gods like the kitchen god and the gambling god are watching this? “This is not a situation that can just be overlooked.”

Jaeseok laughed at Daeha’s words.

“That’s too much. “Still, he’s a god, but he’s a miscellaneous god.”

“Honestly, I’m a god, but I’m not as good as a high-ranking spirit. What are you going to do instead of talking back? “There are so many things involved that even electricity doesn’t work.”

Pajik! Puzzle!

For some reason, Jaeseok shrugs his shoulders at the sight of Daeha grumbling with his sparkling body.

“I don’t know much because I only pay money. “Your brother and Choco will know well.”

“Oh my, that guy… … “It was a big deal, but I never thought it would go this far.”

Before Gwan Yong-ha’s older brother, Gwan Yong-min, went from a thousand-slayer swordsman to a king, more than 1 trillion worth of intelligent beings were killed. The result is that the fierceness of life that had been disciplined and suppressed for a long time went out of control in the face of her daughter’s death and sufficient malice.

Of course, I think it would be beneficial to have an emperor class born in their place even if a trillion of the best-class gods die. Even if the target is not your own brother, the situation is the same.

It’s not that the Great Emperor is particularly crazy, but if he could kill a trillion people and turn the transcendental into an emperor class, there would be countless people in the universe who would do it… … It would be difficult for Yeong-min, who is so good as to be able to suppress the death of a thousand people, to think that way.

“Chocolate feels like this too.”

“It would have to be that way since the Priyana people are almost extinct. No, but you became the instigator. What do you plan to do?”

“I don’t have much life left. To be honest, there probably aren’t even a few hours left.”

“You’re going to die anyway, so you’re going to throw your soul into the flow of time? Even though there is a way to live?”

Jaeseok expresses doubts about Daeha’s words.

“Is there a way to survive?”

“Beautiful girl.”

“… … “I’m really lagging behind.”

Jae-yeon, growling lowly, asks belatedly.

“Anyway, why did you come? “There’s no way this kind of nonsense is the purpose.”

“You could have come to see a friend, right?”

“Stop fucking with me.”

“You’re doing too much.”

The grumpy Daeha pulls out a nearby chair and sits down. Instead of sitting next to him, Jaeseok looked at Daeha with a wary expression.

The king looked up at the sky for a moment and said.

“Time has stopped.”

“You stopped.”

“It means that a huge flow that cannot even be compared to such a small bridle has stopped. To be precise… … “There is no future.”

Jaeseok narrows his eyes at Stranger Things.

“There is no hope?”

“It’s not just a metaphor; there really is no future. Originally, it was possible to see 10,000 or 100 million years in the future, but now the time just before the time reversal occurs is the latest in this universe.”

And of course it happened because of [her] existence.

As a being on par with the creator god of this world became entangled in the timeline, this world completely deviated from the rails of its predetermined destiny.

“The massive time reversal was crazy.”

The king said.

“It looks like they tried every means possible… … Cronus must have gone crazy without any other gods taking action, right?”

The highest level of deity. The hysteria of Kronos, the god of time, is famous even in the divine world. This is especially true because he is a god who was abandoned by the creator god and survived by hanging on.

“That means he would have been banned.”

“okay. Everyone who did this will be finished. “I wonder if you or your brother would have survived under my protection.”

Daeha, who had said that far, turned his head and looked at Jaeseok.

“… … “If it had been any other time, I’m sure it would have happened that way.”

It is a time of great chaos.

Common sense, conventional wisdom, and order that were taken for granted in the existing macrocosm are all becoming meaningless. An era in which even the greatest and most principled King of the universe has no choice but to exercise flexibility.

“The gods aren’t the only ones looking at time reversals. “I see something more than that.”

“… … Are you talking about [her she]?”

“okay. And maybe even [him].”

And they are beings for whom any strict rules and principles are useless.

Jaeseok frowned.

“okay. So what on earth is the person who created the universe like this trying to do?”

“The highest level of god.”

Jaeseok’s eyes narrow at Daeha’s words.

“… … “Then shouldn’t you just sacrifice yourself?”

“Unfortunately, [she] hates me. To be exact, she doesn’t really like the innate gods themselves.”

Daeha recalled what [she] said when she saw him.

It was difficult to understand the words of such a huge being, but [she] clearly said this.

-FALSE.

“It’s too much. “I am also a person with my own story.”

But that means nothing to [her]. This is because his position as the highest level god is a concept that cannot be established without the [divine blood] given by the Creator.

It’s like a novel character.

An orphan abandoned by his parents was born with a genius talent and went through all kinds of trials to become a sword master through an epic 10-volume journey.

Just end it with one line and say that the 11th sword master of some kingdom is so-and-so.

The result of being a sword master is the same, but the strength of the character that the reader feels is completely different. The former has a [narrative], but the latter is simply given the [role] of sword master by the author.

“Then what happens? The monster… … Should I become a top-level god? “I think they take pictures the same way.”

“well. “I feel like her attention is focused in one place these days.”

While saying that, I quietly look up at the sky. Jaeseok intuitively realized what he was talking about.

“Han Jae-yeon.”

“He’s crazy. “This is my first time seeing someone like that.”

Emperor.

Even in the great universe where the power of the gods runs rampant, it is a being with a great reputation. It was called by all sorts of names, including phosphorus and turmeric, but recently it has become the name he has had from the beginning. It is strange that the word emperor itself is a title that means a state, but considering what he has done so far, it can be said to be a humble title.

Of course, Daeha knows the basis. For it was he who concealed the fact that he was [her] apostle.

‘But even taking that into account, Jaeyeon’s performance goes beyond common sense.’

He dealt with more monsters than all of the Archangels and Demon Lords combined, which are the ultimate forces of the heavenly and demonic worlds, and with his emperor-class body, he subdued or killed gods. In particular, the influence of Mana Coin, a new currency that is practically his own, is sweeping the entire universe.

Considering that there are twelve apostles instead of one, you can see that he was definitely not a lucky person who was chosen by [her] and succeeded.

“okay. “He’s crazy.”

Jaeseok laughs bitterly.

To be honest, he had no intention of acknowledging any man his youngest daughter Sarang brought. No matter how good he is, how capable he is, and how much he loves his daughter, it takes blood and sweat to be recognized by him. And he thought he would have to shed tears.

But Jaeseok did not dare to do that.

“It was absurd that he became emperor, but now he is no different from a god…” … .”

In other words, it is as if a beloved daughter has brought in the president of the world’s most powerful country or the chairman of the world’s greatest conglomerate as her son-in-law.

Even younger.

A younger president or a conglomerate chairman might say this is nonsense, but… … . Han Jae-yeon is that ridiculous being. No matter how much a parent loves their daughter, they can’t slap the face or correct the behavior of such an insane tycoon.

It’s just a burn.

“But that crazy guy… … . “I guess it fits [her] taste.”

“But does that make sense? If it were Han Jae-yeon, she would be the one who hinders [her] more than anyone else in the world.”

Regardless of her strength, Han Jae-yeon is a being called [Savior] by people. This is because his performance in the labyrinth was truly abnormal.

The general consensus is that if it weren’t for him, the universe might have already been destroyed by the monster incident.

The magnitude of his presence was paradoxically clearly revealed when he disappeared from the world for a while. What more can I say, since countless civilizations that couldn’t handle the monster wave missed his presence?

“Maybe that’s not a hindrance.”

“… … “What if it’s not a hindrance?”

“The difficulty of the game. Or content.”

The king quietly looked up at the sky and said.

“It’s also very delicious.”

[Game clear! The game has been cleared!]

A text I once saw comes to mind before my eyes.

[Game name: Black Soul.]

[ID: Jaeyeon Han.]

An old man holding a large cane falls down, vomiting blood. The devil king who threw the world into chaos. Carias finally lost all his powers and died.

It took just 17 years to get to this point.

“Wow, the longer I go, the longer it takes.”

Of course, it was just a time I experienced alone. This is because the timelines are separate unless you clear the game and incorporate it into your inner world.

“by the way… … . What are you thinking? “I thought I would clear it like this and get kicked out, just like Merlin did before.”

But contrary to my expectations, [she] did not chase me away.

Instead, her worldview began to change.
