The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction - Chapter 421

“Jeong So-ra. Congratulations on your discharge.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Here, I’ll give you your ID and card.”
The nurse smiled and Jeong So-ra took the ID card she held out and left the hospital with a smile in return.
“Ah…”
I unconsciously covered my eyes from the dazzling sunlight. As the sunlight hit my elbows, I felt a pleasant warmth. That’s not all, the sky was clear and blue without a single cloud. As if the world was blessing her recovery…
“Uggggg…”
Jeong So-ra stretched out her legs and turned her neck around to enjoy the sunlight. While she was hospitalized, she took many walks around the hospital, but she felt different then.
To be honest, she still didn’t feel it. How could it be that the day would come when she would be discharged from the hospital on her own two feet? .
“Everything really feels like a dream…”
A lot has happened in the meantime.
Terrible car accident and brain death. A world in a novel created by the Milky Way. Park Jun-hyuk’s plan. And…
A different world that has finally become real and not a game.
“Congratulations on being discharged. Mr. Sora.”
“Huh?!”
Jeong So-ra, who had been lost in her thoughts, was started and turned around. There stood a woman wearing sunglasses and a suit.
“W-who are you…” ” “?!”
“Yes? Who are you? “You don’t know me because of my glasses?”
In front of a very nervous Jeong So-ra, the woman took off her sunglasses. Finally, the moment she saw her her face her, Jeong So-ra’s face her her straightened out.
“Sehee unni?!”
“Be patient… “I’ve been to you several times to visit the hospital, but you don’t recognize me?”
“Oh, no… I feel like your style has changed so much…”
Park Se-hee’s waist-length hair was shortened to her shoulders. She also had a wavy perm, which made her look even more glamorous.
“I just changed it to feel like it, what do you think? Are you okay?”
“Uh… Sehee, you are so beautiful that you look good in anything. But why did she come here? I heard she’s very busy these days…”
Unlike before, Park Se-hee has become a celebrity to the point where her face is even shown on TV. In the past, she often visited the hospital, but after her her name and face she became known, she became so busy that I only visited her late at night when I had special permission. It was quite unusual for her to come here in broad daylight like this.
“Haha… Busy is busy. But I wanted to make some time today.”
“Yes?”
“Where Sora wants to go today.”
Park Se-hee smiled and showed off the car keys in her hand.
“I’ll take you there.”

As the boundary between the two worlds, reality and this world, collapsed, an uncontrollable chaos came.
Players who thought this world was simply a game were reduced to ordinary humans as the system disappeared. In the end, the surviving players were in a hurry to flee or surrender.
Forced logging out through the system was not possible, but logging out through the access gate was possible. A few players who noticed this were lucky enough to escape, but the vast majority of players were unable to do so. Most of them were far away from the access gate because they were participating in the war.
In the end, the remaining players had no choice but to surrender in order to survive.
Of course, there were some who argued for fighting with overwhelming numbers, but no one responded. They were the ones who thought it was a game from the beginning and went on a rampage. Since it was a real situation and not a game, no one was prepared to risk their ‘real’ lives and go to war.
The war that seemed like it would never end ended overnight. The joy of winning a hopeless war was short-lived, and the empire became busy dealing with the post-war situation.
First of all, millions of users surrendered at once, so the prison camp was already full. The completely devastated city was used as a temporary prisoner of war camp to accommodate them, but even that was too much to handle. Moreover, there is a severe lack of personnel and materials to manage the millions of prisoners.
In the end, several noble families, including the Ruelberta family, had no choice but to set up temporary prisoner-of-war camps in their territories and accept prisoners.
But the biggest problem was the anger of the people of another world who had been unilaterally invaded.
-You have to cut off their heads!
-You’re right! We must pay back what was done to us!
-They all deserve to die!
There were quite a few people who lost their homes, families, and friends due to users. Their anger was so great that they threw stones and cursed at the surrendered prisoners. As if that wasn’t enough, there are also those who capture and torture users who have not yet been captured.
In the end, the emperor of the empire, Lucy, issued an edict.
-Anyone who causes harm to those who surrendered from this time will be held accountable severely!
It is true that many players harmed people from other worlds, but there were exceptions.
People who were reluctant to kill because the people of this world were too similar to living people. A type that only hunted monsters in quiet places without participating in quests or wars. And in one corner of the chaotic war, there were players who helped the people of another world escape and even fought on their side.
Since she couldn’t hold all the players guilty, Lucy guaranteed the safety of the prisoners for now. And he quickly set about classifying those who had sinned and those who had not.
It was a very cumbersome and time-consuming task, but Lucy did not just ignore it. Because it was something that had to be done. If she had not stepped forward and stopped her, revenge crimes and massacres would have been rampant throughout the empire.
Blood calls for blood.
That was a lesson Lucy learned from the tragedy that occurred between the Ruelberta family and the imperial family in the past.
In fact, Lucy could have killed millions of users depending on the public opinion of the people of the empire. However, the reason he took them as prisoners instead of killing them was not simply with the intention of distinguishing between good and bad.
Through the war, Lucy learned that a world in another dimension exists. He also based the stories of the prisoners on what the world was like, how advanced its civilization was, and what kind of culture it had. Furthermore, what kind of relationship should we form with them? .
Just as expected. Not long after Lucy took the users captive, strangers came through the access gate occupied by the imperial army.
They made the demands that Lucy expected.
-Can you please release the people detained here?
Before the imperial army occupied the area of the access gate, users who were lucky enough to log out through the gate reported what happened here.
Of course, the whole world was turned upside down.
-Why are millions of gamers around the world in a coma?
-National disaster declared in 60 countries, including the United States!
-Game becomes reality!
-People trapped in the game overnight!
-Another dimensional world appears!
-I thought it was a game, but it turned out to be a real world?!
As millions of users failed to regain consciousness overnight, the government eventually took action. An emergency response committee was immediately formed, and representatives selected from each country met Lucy.
Of course, Lucy had no intention of handing over the prisoners. The plan was not only to hold the players accountable for their crimes, but also to compensate for all the damage the players had caused to their world. The reason he took in millions of prisoners at great lengths was because Lucy judged them to be valuable as hostages.
Even if they refused and tried to invade this world again by force, Lucy was ready to fight another war.
But in the end, there was no need for that. Because going to war was like saying that millions of people around the world, including their own citizens and foreigners, would be killed.
In the end, the leadership in the negotiations came to be taken by the Empire and Lucy. Negotiations were conducted peacefully without major friction or conflict. And now, a year has passed…
The world has entered a new era.
The entire world agreed to name the world that exists in another dimension ‘Other World’ and to recognize the countries including the Maykahel Empire as equal countries.
Until now, only a limited number of people could travel between the two worlds through the gate, but now anyone can travel between the two worlds just by going through immigration.
With this, the wall between the two worlds that were officially separated into reality and game disappeared. It was an achievement achieved in just one year by those who worked for the coexistence of the two worlds.
Of course, there were still many problems to be solved. The classification process for 85% of the users who surrendered as prisoners of war was completed, but tens of thousands of people were still waiting to be classified. In addition, punishment for those found guilty among those who had been classified was still in progress.
The Empire was also devoting the greatest amount of manpower to reveal the players’ crimes through testimony and investigation from people in other worlds. Their punishment varied depending on the nature of their crime, and most of them were forced to work as laborers in the rebuilding project of the empire. Because the punishment given to them was to restore the country they had invaded with their own hands.
For reference, all of them who were judged to have committed bad crimes were taken away by the Ruelberta family. It was not unusual to take those who had been sentenced to servitude to restore their territory, but most of them were people with personality problems. Details are not known as to why they voluntarily took in people who might cause problems among the laborers.
However, according to rumor, they were taken to a mine secretly operated by the Ruelberta family. There, they were treated worse than animals and made to work until they died…
I didn’t know if that was really true, but at least it was comforting to the people in this world who had been harmed by the war.
In any case, repatriation and punishment of those who participated in the war among those who fled through the access gate. In addition, there are still many people who are wary of each other’s world and many who harbor resentment. It will take more time to resolve all these conflicts.
Of course, that didn’t change the fact that a new world had opened.
“Wow… Is this the famous Gate 1?”
“It is also called Seoul Gate.”
Jeong So-ra looked at the door standing tall beyond her car window with her mouth open. A huge gate of light that appears to be about 100 meters high and 30 meters wide.
“Is this your first time seeing Sora in person?”
“Yes. I’ve always watched it on TV…”
She, Jeong So-ra, was amazed as she looked at her gate that led to this world. It was the first official gate created through the magic of another world, Furing, and modern technology.
“The next gate will be built in Busan. Next is Daejeon. Furthermore, our goal is to establish one in each metropolitan city across the country.”
Nowadays, with the help of this world, the gates are installed here and there, but even in the beginning, there were no such things. In such a situation, it was Park Se-hee who provided a temporary gate to cross over to another world.
The boundary between the two worlds, reality and game, was broken down as the system was deleted. And Park Se-hee’s consciousness, which had been forcibly detained by Park Jun-hyuk’s system, was completely liberated.
And over the past year, Park Se-hee has been called out here and there as both a person involved and a victim of a series of incidents. She took the lead more than anyone else in revealing Stella’s real face to the world by exposing everything that Park Jun-hyuk and Choi Jae-man had done.
Thanks to this, all of Stella’s directors were arrested, and Choi Jae-man was undergoing a lengthy trial on countless charges.
And the main culprit of this incident, Park Jun-hyuk, was found dead in his home immediately after the collapse of the system. In some ways, he could be said to have been punished with a lonely death, but on the other hand, he also felt that even death was undeserved. If you think about the damage both worlds suffered due to what Park Jun-hyuk did.
But what can’t be helped is what can’t be helped. Because dead people don’t talk.
In any case, since Park Se-hee’s awakening, she has worked harder than anyone else for peace and harmony between the two worlds. Dedicated to the coexistence of the two worlds by standing on both sides and suggesting things that would benefit each other, she has worked as a disaster response committee member in this world and various organizations, and has now risen to the position of deputy director of the newly established ‘Isotora Management Bureau’. It was an unconventional move considering her age.
“Thank you. “Sister.”
“Yes? Suddenly?”
“You did my job for me.”
Jeong So-ra was in a position where she could not help but receive attention as the original author of Another World. Because he was a person who knew better than anyone else about the newly emerged world. However, he was in poor health after waking up from a long coma.
She was in no condition to be investigated.
At that time, it was Park Se-hee who helped her. Park Se-hee helped Jeong So-ra not to be known to the media and took steps to exclude her from all kinds of investigations. Thanks to this, she was able to spend her nursing life quietly.
The gratitude that Jeong So-ra felt for Park Se-hee was indescribable.
“It’s all thanks to her sister that I was able to be discharged from the hospital so early.”
“No way. That’s because Sora was treated well and underwent rehabilitation training diligently. “I didn’t do anything~.”
“Still, you took me this far…”
“Okay, thanks are done and we have arrived.”
Park Se-hee and Jeong So-ra got out of the car when they arrived in front of the gate. Soon, the other world immigration office staff nearby greeted the two people.
“Is the deputy director here?”
“Can you help me with the immigration process?”
“If you are an acquaintance of the Deputy Director, why not… ” .”
“Then I can’t use it. “No matter if it’s my acquaintance or someone else, you have to follow the procedures.”
“S-sorry! “I will check your ID!”
An employee in a smart suit scanned Sora Jeong’s identification card into the machine she held in her hand. And soon her eyes widened.
“Um, Jeong So-ra?! Are you really Jeong So-ra?”
“Yes? Yes… “Yes, that’s right?”
“It’s an honor to meet you! Could it be that the original author of this world himself-“
“Now, I know it’s nice to see you, but please stop and let me go. “You’re in trouble.”
Park Se-hee smiled bitterly as she stopped the employee, whose eyes were shining.
“Sorry. I wanted to keep Sora’s identity her a complete secret…”
“No. It’s okay.”
“Don’t worry, only a few high-ranking people and our management staff know about it.”
“Thank you for hiding it all this time.”
“I would appreciate it if you thought so. Well then, take care. Mr. Sora.”
“Eh?”
Jeong So-ra tilted her head when she saw Park Se-hee waving her hand as if that was all.
“Wasn’t your sister going with you?”
“I’m sorry, but I have a lot of work to do.”
“Ah…”
“Besides, even if I go, the princess and other women will not be pleased. I also have a sense of humor…”
“Yes? What is that… ?”
“It’s nothing. It’s a pity, but I also have to find someone new. Then, please say hello to my brother.”
Park Se-hee returned to the car, leaving behind an incomprehensible message. The back of her looked somehow cool and lonely.
“Just enter through the gate.”
Following the guidance of her staff, Jeong So-ra moved to the front of the gate.
“Oh, come to think of it, Jeong So-ra. “There are people who came to meet you.”
“Would you like to meet me?”
“So, I’m Sorani… !”
At that time, the girl standing in front of the gate ran towards Jeong So-ra. She is a girl with chestnut brown hair, twin tails, and big eyes. Her original author Jeong So-ra, was instantly recognizable.
“Wendy!”
“Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital… !”
It was Wendy Wingfield, a servant of the Ruelberta family and the character created as Tristan’s death flag.
From noble mtl dot come
“And… You’ve become a lot prettier while I haven’t seen you. “Wendy.”
“Ehehe… Really?”
Wendy, who is an elementary school student by age here, has turned into a more mature person. Although she is a little taller, she has grown taller and her once flat body she has gained curves to the extent that one might mistake her for a high school student. She is gradually transforming from a girl to a woman.
“If my brother sees it, won’t he recognize it?”
“Yes?! Well, you shouldn’t do that…”
“I’m kidding. “Is it possible that my brother doesn’t recognize you?”
Sora Jeong stroked her Wendy’s head. It was Wendy who visited me occasionally in this world, but it was nice to see her again.
“Sora. “I’m glad you look healthy.”
The one who appeared after her was Blanche, a beautiful woman with a cool appearance.
“We will take care of you from here.”
“Thank you.”
Jeong So-ra nodded her head.
From now on, there was no need to ask where she was going.
Today was the day we all decided to go see Jeong Ji-hwan.
