41. Dimension Management
‘I finally killed it. ‘Deolant.’
A gap in space and time that no one can escape without permission.
They lured Deorant there and engaged in a confrontation.
As a result, I was able to subdue him and place him in the soul gauntlet.
In addition, tens of billions of Terra and temporary skills were extracted.
[Temporary Skill – Dimensional Management]
-Effect: All dimensions can be controlled and managed.
‘I don’t know what skill it is just by looking at the description… … .’
Ryumin tried using a skill to find out more.
[Registering a new dimension]
[Load dimension list]
[Looking at dimensions]
[Move to dimension]
… … … …
… … etc.
There were many functions, but the one that stood out was [Locate Creation].
‘If it is a creation… Are you talking about the host and the seed?’
Is it Deorant’s ability to understand those he regarded as his children?
‘I already tried to find it, but it worked out well. With this, we will be able to find and eliminate the remaining forces.’
Deorant quickly put out the fire, but the embers of Host and Sid still remain.
I was worried about where to find it, but here’s the solution.
‘Shall we go to the [Move Dimension] function?’
Ryumin decided to use what he had learned and moved to the dimension where the host and seed were.
Paaaat!
‘oh! It definitely takes less energy, doesn’t it?’
There were various penalties, including a cooldown, when moving the world line using the Power of Time, but there was no such thing with the dimension shifting function.
‘According to the Creation Locator function, there is a host and a seed here?’
When I used the grasp function again, I could accurately feel the locations of 300 hosts and 12 seeds.
‘They’re all dead.’
Ryumin, with a wicked smile, disappeared like the wind.
It is time to reap the seeds sown by deolant.
* * *
The god of dimensions hated needlessly expanded dimensions.
That’s why he sowed the seeds of his own collapse in each dimension.
The host absorbed the nutrients that were humans and germinated the withering seeds that harvested him again.
As long as there was a host and a seed, the collapse of the dimension could be easily achieved.
In any case, it is difficult for humans to deal with even a single host.
If left alone, the host and seed will collapse the dimension on their own.
After sowing the seed with that belief, it was a deolant that went to another level.
Only 10 dimensions collapsed like that.
But it ended there.
Deorant failed to collapse all dimensions.
The loss was not next.
‘The point is that I did not properly understand the existence of the country.’
They probably didn’t know that Ryumin, who noticed everything, would travel around the world line and eliminate the host and seed.
I never thought that the remaining forces would be completely eliminated like this.
‘Both the host and the seed were made extinct. Now you don’t have to worry about the world line collapsing.’
I blocked the deolant.
The collapse of the world line was also prevented.
There is no longer any threat to Ryumin.
However, it was not without problems.
‘What should I do with the world line I created?’
The 102nd world line that has eliminated all shortcomings.
Currently, the people there were suffering.
We created an ideal world without Elyos, Demons, Gods, or survival games, but that is not the case now.
The whole world is complaining of mental pain due to the confusion of memories.
It was as if clean water had been polluted with muddy water.
‘It can’t go on like this. Unless you use some method… … .’
However, if you think about a problem that doesn’t work, you can’t think of a solution.
Other means must be found.
‘… ‘How can I not do this with this ability?’
Ryumin took another look at the dimensional management functions extracted from Deorant.
Eventually, a helpful feature came into view.
‘If you use this function… … ‘Wouldn’t it help ease people’s suffering?’
It may cost a lot of Terra, but it doesn’t matter.
What is the use of having tens of billions of Terra?
If you try to save it, it will only turn into shit.
‘Let’s get started right away.’
Ryumin’s finger touched one of the dimensional management functions.
* * *
“Juri.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you so dazed?”
“Oh, no. dad.”
“I don’t think that’s the case since you don’t even know your dad came in?”
“haha… … .”
Min Joo-ri was so preoccupied that she didn’t even notice that Min Do-hoon had come to change shifts.
It wasn’t because I was tired of working at the convenience store.
It’s because I’ve been having trouble mentally lately.
“What are you worried about?”
“that is… … .”
“Would you like Dad to guess? “Is it because of the memories that came into my head?”
Minjoo-ri’s head moved up and down as if it was the correct answer.
It was a problem that had spread like a virus around the world, so it could not be denied.
“Dad, too. It’s definitely something you’ve never experienced, but it’s something that comes to mind clearly as if you’ve experienced it, right? “I heard you had trouble sleeping last night because of the memories of the day you died?”
“… Memories of the day I died?”
“okay. I kept thinking of myself hugging you and sobbing because you couldn’t survive the survival game. As vividly as if it happened yesterday. “My beautiful daughter is so fine.”
“… … There’s so much going on. haha.”
My mouth tried to smile, but my eyes couldn’t.
Minjoo-ri also had a headache from all the memories she had instilled in her.
‘I can’t believe I went through such hardships with Min… … .’
According to memory, Min-ri Min reached the final round with many people, including Ryu Min.
There, he faced a powerful enemy called Chaos and ultimately won.
It was a memory from the 101st episode that came about because Ahn Sang-cheol’s world line collapsed, but Minjoo-ri had no way of knowing that.
All I know is that he shared life and death with the Black Scythe, and that in the process, his heart went out to Ryumin.
‘I still like Min.’
But I didn’t have the courage to confess.
I figured I would have a lot of time anyway, so I decided to just keep an eye on him as a friend.
However, Minjoo-ri was anxious.
‘If such a survival game begins again in the new year… … What should I do then? If you get dragged into that game again without being able to confess… … ?’
I killed an enemy called Chaos, but I couldn’t tell if it was a dream or the past.
If it were to happen in the future, it would be a big deal.
Looking at the trials ahead brings great pressure.
That was the same for my father, Min Do-hoon.
“I don’t know if there really was such a thing as a game of survival, but I’m so worried that my Juri will be dragged into such a game again… … .”
“dad… … .”
“I think it would be better not to know. If it weren’t for these strange memories, I wouldn’t have been so anxious… … .”
Just like Min Do-hoon, who was sighing, Min-ri Min also felt frustrated.
You probably aren’t the only one.
The whole world is suffering from the awakening of memories they have never experienced, whether they are memories from a past life or not.
‘Please, if these experiences didn’t actually happen… … .’
I wish it was a dream
That’s what I thought, but it actually happened.
It was something we all experienced in different dimensions, and it ended in the deaths of 1.8 billion people.
Even if I survived the round, I didn’t feel good.
My heart ached at the thought that I had survived by taking the lives of 1.8 billion people.
‘My head is so complicated… … .’
Ambiguous memories float in my head, whether what I experienced was true or not.
It confuses memory.
What other memories will you have when you wake up?
I wonder if I won’t be caught by an angel again soon.
People all over the world suffered from such anxiety and worry.
But that too was over as of this time.
“hmm… ?”
“uh… ?”
All the harmful memories that had been instilled in an instant disappeared at once.
“dad… ? What are you doing?”
“What was I doing here? ah! “You came to change shifts, right?”
Min-ri Min and Do-hoon Min couldn’t remember what they were thinking.
This didn’t just happen to them.
The memories of the survival game that had plagued everyone all over the world have disappeared.
* * *
The collapse of dimensions is not as simple as it sounds.
A world collapses and disappears.
The sun, the moon, and the earth.
Even all living creatures, whether on the ground or in the sky.
Lives are lost in the aftermath of the collapse.
It becomes dust that no longer has any form.
However, even if the dimension collapses, fragments of memory remain and flow through.
Driven by the homing instinct, it wanders beyond the dimension in search of its own body.
‘But what if the collapsed dimension is restored? Will my memories come back to normal?’
With that in mind, Ryumin used one of the functions of dimensional management.
[Dimension Recovery]
A function that allows you to restore the desired dimension to its original state.
Although it costs a huge amount of Terra, Ryumin, who was not greedy for Terra, was willing to pay this much.
It was worth it.
‘We only need to restore the 10 dimensions destroyed by Deorant.’
When the dimension is restored, the scattered memories will return to their original soul.
But it’s just a hypothesis.
Ryumin asked Deorant stored in the Soul Gauntlet to understand more clearly.
-Deolant.
-What is this voice? Death side?
-I told you not to call me that old-fashioned name, right? Just call it the black scythe.
-Black scythe? This one is more rustic… … .
-Okay, I have something to ask you. Please answer well.
-Why should I do that?
-Otherwise I will destroy you.
-what… ?
-You are now trapped in your own prison. This means I can destroy it whenever I want. I don’t need to tell you that the disappearance of the soul is true death, right?
If the deolant is destroyed, the dimension management function cannot be used.
But since there was no way for him to know that fact, the threat had no choice but to work.
-Wha, what do you want to ask?
-If the dimension you collapsed is restored, will the dead people also come back to life?
-Dimension… What if it is restored?
-uh. What if?
-Well, just survive. Dimensional restoration involves returning to the point before the collapse.
-So, when people are revived, the fragments of their original memories will also return to their owners? Even if it’s a memory that went to another dimension?
-Of course I’ll come back. Memories are like a stigma engraved on the human soul. Since the owner has returned, it is only natural that the memories will return.
-Right.
-how is it? Was this helpful?
-Uh, a little.
-Then can you get me out of here?
-That sounds like a no-brainer. I feel fortunate that it wasn’t destroyed.
-… … .
Ryu Min, who hung up the conversation, decided to try to restore the dimension as verified by Deorant.
As he said, whether the memories will come back or not.
‘If this hypothesis works, the people of the 102nd world line I created will no longer have to suffer.’
We proceeded with the restoration immediately and the result.
Tsuaaaaaa!
All ten collapsed dimensions were restored to their original state.
It was a return to the point before Deorant intervened, that is, before the host and seed were scattered across the dimension.
‘I did something. Now it’s time to check the 102nd world line.’
Ryumin moved the world line and returned to Earth where he originally lived.
And I tried to find Hwang Yong-min, who I had kept alive for testing purposes.
but.
[The target ‘Hwang Yong-min’ could not be found.]
[This person does not exist.]
Even though I used tracking skills, I couldn’t find him.
‘This message only appears when you die… no way?’
Did someone kill Hwang Yong-min?
There was only one person worthy of it.
Ryu Min immediately tracked down Cho Joong-sik.
“Breakfast and lunch.”
“Hi!!”
Jo Jung-sik, surprised to see Ryu Min appearing like a ghost at night, took out a knife from his pocket.
“You, you bastard! what! Are you a ghost? Fuck you, more, come at me! I think this body is afraid of ghosts and such… ?”
‘You don’t recognize me?’
Ryu Min read Jo Jung-sik’s thoughts.
And I soon found out why.
‘My memories of the black scythe have disappeared.’
Black scythe and survival games.
No memories related to him.
I couldn’t remember breakfast and lunch.
Memories returned to those ordinary times when there were no survival games.
It was a moment when the hypothesis that the injected memories would disappear once the collapsed dimension was restored was correct.
“My memory is gone. “But I should have made it clear before, right?”
Sereung-
Ryu Min took out a sickle like a reaper and aimed it at Jo Jung-sik.
“If you touch Hwang Yong-min, you won’t be safe either.”
“W-what… When did you say that… .”
“I have come to fulfill that promise.”
Ryu Min swung the sickle and cut off Jo Jung-sik’s head.
The decision was made that it would be better to kill pests.
