A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 33
33. Persuasion
In the beginning, there was a god who created the world.
He created the divine world and further created the heavenly world and the demonic world, and based on that experience, he created the earth, animals, plants, and humans.
Creator of all life.
The creatures called that being, which is everywhere and nowhere, ‘El’.
El had two children, one of whom was Deorant.
Deorant wanted to be like his father and mother, L.
He took on the role of managing the increased dimension to help El, and he was called the God of Dimension.
However, the unmanageable increase in the number of dimensions caused obsession, which developed into an organizing wall.
‘Increasing the dimension won’t help El. All useless dimensions must be erased.’
The work began to remove all but the necessary dimensions.
For removal, I used the host and seed, which were creatures I created myself.
But recently, a problem has arisen.
‘Why did so many dimensions suddenly form?’
Every time the axis of time shook, the number of dimensions increased.
I could only see that the dimension had been copied by the power of time.
‘If it is the power of time, then Kronos… … ?’
I thought it might be the work of Kronos, the god of time, and I planned to warn him to stop recklessly forming dimensions as soon as I met him.
However, no matter how much we searched, we could not find Kronos, so we had no choice but to impose sanctions without warning.
‘I will delete all the needlessly copied world lines.’
In order to eliminate the increased world lines one by one, seeds and hosts, the seeds of destruction, were sown.
None other than Earth.
The reason for targeting Earth was simple.
Because it was the place where the most life existed among the divine world, heavenly world, and demonic world.
‘The task of shaking the dimensional axis requires enormous amounts of bioenergy. ‘Earth is the perfect place to use as the source of collapse.’
In my heart, I would like to erase all dimensions at once, but even if I were a dimensional god, that was impossible.
It took a considerable amount of time to create the seed and host.
Even now, I haven’t been able to sow the seeds because I’m busy preparing.
But there is no need to wait anymore.
‘All preparations are complete. 300 hosts and 12 seeds have been completed.’
On one side of the dimensional gap, there were 312 incubators lined up in a row.
The children he created are preparing to wake up from their sleep.
‘The seeds are ready, shall we sow them in another dimension?’
With that in mind, it was a time when Deorant opened a gap in the world line and watched.
[Hmm?]
Someone came into his space.
‘human?’
Deorant immediately erased his thoughts.
Isn’t it possible for humans to enter the dimensional gap?
‘It must be someone imitating a human like me.’
Whatever it was, Deorant was displeased by the reckless intrusion.
[Who are you?]
* * *
‘It’s that guy. ‘That’s the deolant I’ve been looking for.’
Although he couldn’t read the other person’s inner thoughts, Ryumin was confident.
The fact that its insides cannot be read proves that it is a being that transcends humans.
Above all, it looked exactly like the deolant I saw with the rewind function.
‘If I get rid of him right here… We can prevent the world line from collapsing!’
But Ryumin was in no hurry.
Isn’t it possible that if you attack for no reason, you could end up getting hit back?
A hasty attack without knowing the opponent’s strength is bound to cause anger.
‘I’ll have to calmly look at the liver first. Like Kronos said, he doesn’t seem to know anything about me.’
If I knew who I was, I wouldn’t have even asked who I was.
[I asked who it was. Who invaded my space without permission?]
Deorant’s patience ran out as he didn’t answer and just watched.
[Are you not going to say anything? Are you really going to make it involve force?]
A huge amount of Terra energy poured out from Deorant’s body.
‘Chaos or Gaia, it’s more than that… !’
Ryumin thought it was a good thing he didn’t touch it hastily.
Considering that he can feel a higher energy than himself with 70 billion terra energy, he is a formidable opponent.
As soon as I made that decision, I lowered my head.
[…] … sorry.]
Ryumin spoke with the same spiritual power as his opponent.
It’s not difficult to imitate a god as long as you add a little Terra to your voice.
[I came in after feeling something strange while supervising the dimensional world… … Please forgive me if I was rude.]
[Supervise the dimension? What does that mean?]
Ryumin calmly told a lie.
[The introduction is late. I am Death Scythe, an overseer dispatched to oversee the entire dimensional world.]
[viewer… ?]
There are countless gods in the world.
Chaos, Gaia, Kronos, etc.
Some gods are famous enough to be known just by mentioning their names, but lower-ranking gods are not.
‘Roughly speaking, if you give a false title and name, you are bound to be deceived.’
It must be so because I can feel the divine power in his voice.
Having Terra was proof that he was a god.
Sure enough, I had no idea that Deorant was human.
[I didn’t know there was a separate supervisor in the dimensional world. Under whose order was it dispatched?]
[It was an order from the god Thanatos.]
[Thanatos? The god of death?]
He seemed to know about Thanatos, but that was it.
To begin with, they don’t seem to be very familiar with the gods.
‘Otherwise there’s no way I’d have heard of the name Deorant.’
As expected, Deorant did not ask any further questions.
[For what purpose did you come here?]
[As I said, we have detected a dimensional anomaly and are investigating. But I never thought you would do something like this… .]
Ryumin calmly walked to where Host and Sid were cultivating.
[What were you doing with this creature? Mr. Deorant.]
[Do you know me?]
[I know. Is there anyone in the world who does not know Deorant, the god of the dimension?]
[Hmm, I didn’t know I was that famous.]
I let it float a little and the deorant’s wariness eased.
The tone of speech also changed.
[You asked what I was doing? We are working on collapsing the dimension.]
[Dimension collapse?]
[There are too many unnecessary dimensions these days. The hosts and seeds created there are also my children for him.]
[Aha, is that so?]
I guessed it.
The organisms cultured here will be hosts and seeds.
‘It’s just as Kronos said. Deorant, who has a strong tendency to organize, was collapsing the world lines one by one in order to organize them.’
Although we all know this, it did not mean there was no income.
Because I learned that Deorant, although strong, is stupid enough to be fooled by humans.
‘With this level of intelligence, wouldn’t he be swayed by persuasion?’
Ryumin changed his mind.
I decided to try to persuade Deorant.
Perhaps surprisingly, it can be resolved peacefully.
It was worth a try.
[How much of the world line are you planning to destroy?]
[All world lines that have expanded without meaning must be completely collapsed.]
[Is there really a need to organize the dimensions? It won’t cause any harm if I leave it alone, right?]
[No harm done? Unnecessary dimensions are increasing in the universe, but are you saying we should just watch it?]
[Isn’t the area of the universe infinite anyway? Moreover, since they belong to different dimensions, there is no risk of collision.]
Just because your desktop is full of shortcut icons doesn’t mean your computer will run out of space.
Ryumin pointed out that point, but Deorant shook his head.
[I can’t allow it. Shouldn’t unnecessary dimensions be eliminated?]
[A lot of people would live in that dimension, right?]
[What’s the problem with human life?]
Deorant looked like he really didn’t know.
Then he looked at Ryu Min as if he were some strange person.
[you. Are you really taking the side of humans?]
[It can’t be. I also think of humans as insects. But don’t bugs also have uses?]
[It’s not human. They are nothing more than pests eating up the earth. You deserve to die.]
[I guess El, the god of the beginning, created humans without knowing that?]
At that moment, Deorant’s eyebrows twitched.
[Are you trying to teach me about El ideology in front of me, a descendant of El?]
[…] … sorry. I made a mistake.]
Ryumin bowed his head, but smiled inwardly.
‘This guy is a descendant of El, the creator god?’
If that were true, there was a high possibility that Elsis’ function would not work in front of deolant.
Because Elsis was a system created by El, the primordial god.
‘L wouldn’t have let his children be affected by the system he created. I guess the Elsis function doesn’t work on deorant.’
Got good information.
If you had relied on Elsis, you would have been the one to suffer the consequences.
‘Anyway, persuasion is over.’
Looking at the guy’s grumpy expression, it seemed impossible to break his stubbornness.
[Then, Deorant. After eliminating all dimensions, what do you plan to do next?]
[What are you doing? We need to work hard to manage the level like we do now.]
[Who is the being who increased the dimension? I wonder who is bothering Deorant like this.]
[I don’t know either. When I see him shaking the axis of time and creating a world line, I think he might be Kronos, who has the power of time, but I can’t find where he is… … .]
Deorant shared useful information without knowing that he was handing over information to the enemy.
‘I don’t know what happened to Kronos, and I don’t know that I am the main culprit in creating the world line. It must be the first time for him that other gods, such as Chaos and Gaia, have been demoted to humans and are repeating the game of survival.’
In the end, Deorant knew nothing.
His only interest is dimensional collapse.
‘Isn’t this situation bad?’
The other person doesn’t even know who the enemy is, but you know the enemy well.
Although he may be inferior in power, Ryu Min is ahead in terms of information.
‘We need to take advantage of this and attack Deorant.’
I wanted to ask more questions to get more information, but Deorant seemed to be bothered by questions.
[Now that all your questions are answered, would you please leave my space? Death side? I also have to start the dimensional collapse project.]
[Is there anything I can help you with?]
[It’s okay. You do your job.]
Ryu Min pondered seriously for a short time when the guest ordered him to leave.
What if you hit the back of the deolant right now?
Is there even the slightest chance of winning?
But I thought it was not the time yet, so I nodded and answered.
[All right. It was nice to meet you, Deorant, even if it was only for a short time.]
[okay. Go carefully.]
[Ah, by the way.]
Before leaving, Ryumin asked one last question.
[Could you please give me a list of the dimensions where the seeds were sown?]
