Chapter 316: You Are The Same As Me – 8
Since majority of the worlds Yu IlHan that had been to were combined and fused with Dareu, the first thing Yu IlHan did was to install a few Traps of Restoration in Dareu.
Since the 6th Great Cataclysm was very intense, the majority of the Traps of Destruction had lost their functionality and became silent, and in one region, a series of Traps of Destructions that were coincidentally near each other activated at once and went berserk, causing an overflow of tremendous proportions.
"Oh, there were a few Overflows. Tell the others to give me the fragments of higher metals if they get any."
"Got it, master."
In the past, when an Overflow occurred on Earth and Yamata no Orochi struck the Kantou region of Japan, it was one of the most dangerous things he had to be on the lookout for, but right now that Yu IlHan and the majority of his companions had become higher existences, Overflows were nothing much to deal with.
It was just that collecting the harkanium that was absorbed and mutated inside the Overflow monsters were a little bothersome! Of course, the Dareu monster-extermination quest was still underway so they should return quite soon.
"Dareu really has become big. Ugh, I wish I could just look around everywhere in detail and clean them all up......."
"No matter how fast you are, that's impossible."
"I know. Then, scatter."
Yu IlHan launched five Traps of Restoration into the air with his reply. With the Declaration skill, those five were scattered to various places throughout Dareu. After that, he activated the 'carpet' to check on the condition of the Traps of Destructions already scattered throughout Dareu and changed the locations of a few.
That was it.
"Good, it's starting now."
The Traps of Restoration scattered throughout Dareu all resonated at once to suppress the power of the Traps of Destruction. Even the already created dungeons were broken and returned to the original state. The monsters freed from the dungeons (they were mostly weak and dumb to be caught in them) were confused for a moment but all ran after feeling the aura of war in the center of Dareu. Like that, all Traps of Destruction in the continent paused and awaited reactivation.
"Fuu...... good, let's do this thing."
Mystic realized that it was her turn and focused after pushing the straw hat on her head, when the flow of mana released from the Traps of Restoration spread around to the far corners of the world and started transforming the Traps of Destruction.
Absorbing the surrounding mana and matter, the Traps of Destruction were engulfed by the mana from the Traps of Restoration and changed on a fundamental level. Orochi honestly exclaimed at Mystic's absurd mana control.
"Hoo...... splendid mana control."
"It's an item boost."
"I knew it."
"I can't focus so be quiet!
Unlike her words, the engulfing process was very smooth. All the Traps of Destruction scattered around Dareu were evolving! From Traps of Destruction to Traps of Restoration – a new order was being created after denying the records of until now and one that developed according to Yu IlHan's intentions!
Of course, that process sucked and consumed an enormous amount of mana in Dareu, but that would just slow down the birth of monsters so it wasn't completely a bad thing.
[The skill, Declaration, has become level 56.]
[The skill, Dimensional Ruler, has become level 85.]
[The skill, Dimensional Adaptation, has become level 83.]
[The skill, Fleet Command, has become level 89.]
"Well done, Mystic! Let's be done and over with this before heading to the next world!"
"Oooh, the mana wave is truly a spectacle."
"Shut up both of you!"
Thanks to Mystic's grand actions, even Yu IlHan's skill grew all by themselves. A thought flashed by Yu IlHan's mind at that moment.
'Then if the members of Dragon's Nest kill enemies.......'
Closing his eyes and analyzing his own records, he found the answer quite quickly. Not only the records of enemies, he found out that a little bit of experience was given to him as well. Since the dragons belonging to Dragon's Nest were fighting with countless monsters right now, his records were piling up even though he wasn't doing much.
'So there's a reason why the leaders of each faction are in a completely different league to the members;
He groaned subconsciously. Although he felt this after looking at Greed, the leaders of each faction were all frightening beings! Growing endlessly even while doing nothing thanks to the actions of its members... that would mean that the newest of the 5, Yu IlHan, was the most disadvantaged!
Wait.
Then how was it possible that Michael was equal in power to Satan, the leader of the Army of Brilliant Light?
'Or was that BS?'
No, but from looking at how aggressive Michael acted normally, he didn't seem like someone who would lie about that. Didn't Yu IlHan let Michael go precisely to hold Satan back?
'It's possible if God left all of his records and authorities in his charge.'
But he was too weak for that to be true. No matter how disadvantageous Michael was against Yu IlHan in terms of attributes, he wouldn't be so easily defeated by Yu IlHan. Then there's one answer left.
Division.
'If I think about it, although he was killed by me, Raphael was absurdly OP as well. He had a healing ability that surpassed the other 7th class beings by hundreds of miles. If the situation wasn't leaning heavily in my favor, I would have missed the chance to kill him.'
In that case the possibility that God's power and records were divided among the four Great Archangels of Heaven – Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. Among them, Raphael died and Michael could be overcome anytime, so the remaining ones who potentially posed a threat were Gabriel and Uriel.
'Leaving aside Uriel because I don't have any records about that one, it nags at me that Gabriel has the power of foreknowledge. Foreknowledge, clairvoyance eh...... that shouldn't be the case, it definitely shouldn't be possible, but it bothers me.'
From one moment a doubt that was near assurance twitched inside Yu IlHan's heart. It was too absurd to be true, but his instincts warned him so much when he tried to reject it completely. So the solution would be to stop thinking about it until he actually confirmed it...... but if it was that easy, he wouldn't be thinking about such things.
"Master, why do you wear such a frown? Look at that woman groaning. Humans call this a spectacle, no?"
"Of course, it's a scene that I can't miss, but she'll have to groan like that even more in the future so I'll have many opportunities to watch. Orochi you just prepare some popcorn."
"I swear I'll deal with you two later!"
Thanks to the abundant mana in Dareu, the evolution of the Traps of Destruction proceeded unexpectedly quickly. New Traps of Restoration were being generated, and in the process of being linked in consciousness with them, Mystic had finally met a hurdle. Groaning and grunting while continuing to control all of them did look quite funny and cute.
'I want to dismantle Raphael's body as soon as possible...... but I have something more urgent I guess.'
Yu IlHan had a look at Orochi who teased Mystic and Mystic who bit her lips but still continued to control the evolution process of the Traps of Destruction and stopped his thoughts there with a shrug.
This wasn't the right time. If only he could activate the Hourglass of Eternity on Earth, he would be able to cleanly take care of everything that was needed.... The problem was that if he went to Earth right now, Earth would become a higher world.
Ironically, Yu IlHan could only go back to Earth after he was fully prepared for war.
"It's done!"
At that moment, Mystic cheered. She succeeded in transforming all the Traps of Destruction scattered in the vast lands of Dareu into Traps of Restorations! Yu IlHan nodded in satisfaction and ordered her.
"Good, then let's see if the Traps work effectively."
"Hmph, are you looking down on my abilities?"
Mystic clicked her fingers while curving the tips of her mouth into a smile. At that moment, the Traps of Restoration scattered around Dareu vitalized their domain and released a strong wave of mana.
[Mm!?]
[Kugh! Kergh, that's a trap.......]
[I can't resist......!]
[Even though I want to resist......!]
[Such tragedy!]
The monsters that were fighting the dragons and dragonkin immediately reacted to it. Even though they had both high levels and high intelligence, they couldn't resist the aura that the Traps of Restoration emitted and helplessly rushed in! Yu IlHan laughed heartily after looking at that.
"Hide and seek is over! Hahahahahahaha!"
"Master is the worst."
"Whoa, I did know of their power but this is really...... they're all being sucked in no matter if they are level 250 or level 270."
"I can even imprison higher existences, not to mention 4th classes."
"Higher existences?"
Yu IlHan had just trampled on the technology of Heaven's Army like nothing and checked the Traps of Restoration that were being filled and laughed heartily.
Since his companions had taken care of a lot of monsters, the Traps of Restoration didn't quite get filled, but there was no worry of any Overflows occurring. Under Mystic's control, the Traps of Restoration had worked splendidly to prevent any kind of mana reaction if there were no monsters nearby!
[Dad, how did it come to this?]
Yumir, who was having fun leading all the dragons found where Yu IlHan was and flew straight towards him before asking. Yu IlHan stroked his head and explained to him the outline of the situation.
"The monsters born in Dareu will all be sucked into the Traps of Restoration automatically. So you just need to make suitable teams of dragons and dragonkin and send them to dungeons."
[Dad is amazing!]
The common knowledge of Heaven's Army was that 4th class monsters couldn't be imprisoned with the Traps of Destruction. However, Yu IlHan made the Traps of Restoration that ignored such a common knowledge with little to no effort.
This new type of prison system that only Yu IlHan and Mystic could control soon imprisoned all monsters born in Dareu, except the dragons and the dragonkin.
"IlHan, I did hear that you will make something called the Traps of Restoration, but this is frightening......"
"What do you mean frightening? This is just the beginning. I'll scatter them to other worlds too so just clean the dungeons while we're waiting. Oh, before that."
He needed to fulfill his promise. Yu IlHan looked at the dragonkin that had lost their enemies thanks to the Traps of Restoration and looked back at his companions.
"Everyone pick one dragonkin that you think fought well. Starting from Mir."
[Aaaaah!]
[Oh supreme being, you will really give us the opportunity!]
Even though they watched the process of First becoming a dragon, the dragonkin still couldn't believe in him fully, but now they became emotional after they heard Yu IlHan.
Yu IlHan hadn't lied! They could really become dragons! They could confirm the strengths of all higher existences belonging to Dragon's Nest while they fought together, so the dragonkin's passion to become 'dragons' had become amplified. So, it was no wonder that they had become emotional after hearing his words. Yu IlHan made a bright smile after looking at them being honestly happy.
'Fu, I love dragonkin. They're so simple.'
"Master, your face. Your face looks like a complete villain right now."
The higher existences belonging to Dragon's Nest were: Yu IlHan, Helièna, Yumir, Liera, Erta, Kang MiRae, Na YuNa, Kim YeSeul, Paté, Jirl, Mirey, Ericia, Flemir, Mirfa, Orochi and Mystic – a total of 16. Yu IlHan gave each of them the right to pick one dragonkin so the number of new dragons would be just 16.
However, that was enough.
[I thank you, my lord!]
[Kuooooooh! Dragon, the mana of dragon and the blood of dragon! Flows in my veins!]
[Me too! I will definitely become a dragon next time!]
[Dungeon! Let's go wipe out dungeons!]
All dragonkin that saw their kin being reborn into dragons had their eyes flipped. They armed themselves with the resolve that they will definitely become dragons next time! Yu IlHan spoke to them with a merciful smile.
"As long as you bring about suitable results, I shall make you all into dragons. Any dragonkin is set to be able to freely enter dungeons so rampage to your heart's content."
[Understood!]
[Uooooooooh!]
[You idiots! Pay your respects to the ruler!]
The dragonkin instantly split up into groups and charged into dungeons. Yu IlHan's companions only watched with dumbfounded eyes. Yu IlHan turned around with a laugh.
"Then I'll be going. It won't take too long. Oh, can you take the Guardian fortress and a few of our members to Earth and go over to Earth for me, Miss MiRae? I think it will be better to move the people there to Dareu."
"Of course."
"Excluding those of you that are going to Earth with Miss MiRae everyone be on your guard. It's very likely that Legnae will invade Dareu. I've prepared everything so you shouldn't have any problems fighting them."
"Understood!"
Giving out orders was done as well. Now, Yu IlHan took Mystic and Orochi into the Flying fortress and set out. The number of Traps of Restoration in his inventory was 6,938. Once all of these were successfully scattered across the worlds...... it would be his victory.
'Well, I'd still win even if I fail.'
"Master, you have an evil face that doesn't look like the main character at all!"
Yu IlHan and the other two set off for other worlds.
This was later known as the sowing seeds legend of the leader of Dragon's Nest.
Chapter 317
Yu IlHan visited each world that did not fuse with Dareu and scattered the Traps of Restoration.
One Trap per world was sufficient. Once Mystic focused her mind, then the single Trap would engulf all the Traps of Destruction in that world and would subsequently absorb the mana of that world to transform them into Traps of Restoration.
The majority of the worlds were not as big as Dareu so it didn't take that long for the Traps of Restoration to activate and completely cover the world. Mystic became a little more tired every time they visited a new world but that was about it. The body that Yu IlHan had created for her was unbelievably good.
Like that around the 26th or the 27th world they visited, Yu IlHan and the other two found angels. Thanks to Yu IlHan's actions the war of higher existences had ended in a vague state and the lower ranked angels had returned to duty.
[Hm?]
[Wait, I think something changed.]
Even though they couldn't sense Yu IlHan entering and throwing a Trap of Restoration, they could sense the transformation of the Traps of Destruction. They had planted some kind of detection magic on the Traps of Destruction in order to operate them more efficiently.
They sensed damage being dealt to the Traps of Destruction first, then the signals from all the Traps of Destruction in the world simultaneously disconnected.
[The Traps of Destruction are being destroyed!]
[Nonsense, the Traps of Destruction cannot be...... no, but there is no Dungeon Break......!]
[No, the Traps of Destruction are turning into something else. Just what is...... happening?]
The angels scurried around in disorder and eventually reported to their superiors (though, that didn't work since Yu IlHan blocked it midway) before rushing towards the Traps of Restoration. Mystic directed the engulfing process of the Traps of Restoration while checking with Yu IlHan.
"Master, they're planning to investigate something. Is it fine to let them be?"
"Not to mention angels, even God wouldn't be able to do anything. The moment any other higher existence tries to interfere with the Traps of Restoration, the Traps of Restoration in each world would go berserk."
"Oh yeah, there was something like that set in there."
Whichever Traps of Restoration went berserk in whichever world, a signal would be sent to Mystic and Yu IlHan. It was fine even if they were late. The Traps would all disintegrate before anyone could analyze them. Yu IlHan explained with a smile of satisfaction.
"This is a move I learnt from God after examining the Legna."
"Yes, yes. You're becoming more evil than ever."
"It seems like they realized that."
The angels entered a state of panic after realizing that the artifact was made with some technology unknown to them and that they would only be in for the worst even if they tried to touch it. To kick them while they were down, they couldn't even report to their superiors properly!
[What do we do about this.]
[......We need to leave it be. I do not know what this being is trying to do by making these but we would only cause a disaster if we recklessly interfered with it. We can only return to Heaven.]
[But would a high angel, or even an Archangel be able to solve this problem?]
[There's an even bigger problem. That is, if such an item was scattered to only this world.]
[Urgh...... just when a big war had ended. Why did such a thing happen again?]
[We only fight if there are beings that bring disorder to this world. Let us return for now.]
It seems like the angels in charge of this world were quite capable. Yu IlHan nodded with a laugh. As long as they didn't do something reckless, the matter they're worried about should not happen.
Not only that, there was no need for any Overflows in the future, nor was there a need to be afraid of what God may try to them. How good of an opportunity was that! The Traps of Restoration would instantly sell out if they were sold for just $39.99 a piece.
"Shouldn't you contact them and persuade them instead? Before they try something bad."
"What are you saying? In the end, they're just salarymen who have no choice but to obey orders if it comes down to it. What would change just by telling them? No one who shouts 'revolutionary business' has succeeded in the past you know?"
The more fundamental problem being that he might end up giving Heaven an excuse if he came into contact with them anymore than was necessary.
What was an even bigger problem was that the self-proclaimed God may still have connections to Heaven's Army. If he explained the situation and it was somehow reported to the self-proclaimed God, then wouldn't that be frustrating! Everything would go wrong once he was caught up with others, so it was rather more comfortable to take care of everything himself!
"Even though you made a higher existence organization and became the leader, your thought process is still like that of a loner......."
"Leave me be."
"Master, it's done. Let's go over to the next world!"
Strangely, Mystic became more vitalized the more Traps of Restoration she controlled. It was probably thanks to the records that were gathered through the Traps of Restoration. Noticing that, Orochi's expression became pale.
"Wouldn't I be surpassed at this rate?"
"You realized that a little too late. You should fight on too, Orochi."
"Cheating! Isn't that cheating!"
"Then want to manage the Traps of Restoration too?"
That was impossible. Orochi swallowed his frustration and could only watch as Mystic became stronger over time!
"Master, I'm becoming better and more efficient at this. I think we can go a little faster!"
"Very good. Your proactive attitude will make you stronger!"
"Urgh, being left behind by that woman...... that's not acceptable!"
The engulfing process of the worlds proceeded smoothly. In a mere four days, Yu IlHan had changed the Traps of Restoration in thousands of worlds into Traps of Restoration.
If they ran out of the Traps midway, they could just collect some Traps of Destruction and make them into Traps of Restoration so it was a super easy job!
"Master, I think the Traps you made will cover all worlds."
"You're conquering all worlds in an unbelievable way...... Master, are you planning to go to even higher worlds after you're done with lower worlds?"
"What are you saying. How many lower worlds do you think they are how can I go around to them all?"
Yu IlHan explained shortly to Orochi.
"Of course I made the Traps of Restoration so that it would cross dimensions and engulf other worlds. Mystic, I think it's about time you start to feel something."
"......"
"That's true. I get a signal......."
Orochi and Mystic once again had to be enlightened. They were too small to comprehend and accept Yu IlHan! Mystic hadn't received a God-ranked artifact for nothing!
It was the 32,918th world that Yu IlHan and the others met an unexpected guest.
Just as when the Traps of Restoration was in the midst of engulfing, that is, when the angels of that world had realized something and were in disorder, a holy fire covered the entire world suddenly.
"Michael? No......."
Yu IlHan tilted his head at the flame that seemed similar to Michaels, but realized that it was much weaker. Then there was only one answer. Uriel, also famous for wielding fire along with Michael in the four Great Archangels, was residing in this world.
[So you are here, Yu IlHan.]
Uriel used her holy fire in attempt to detect Yu IlHan, but not to mention Yu IlHan himself, it was impossible to sense Orochi and Mystic that was being concealed with him. In the end Uriel spoke in a loud voice that resounded across the world while looking for him.
[I have already heard from Gabriel. You should be here, no?]
"......."
He would have just headed to another world if there was no mention of Gabriel even if the opponent was one of the Four Great Archangels! There were three that Yu IlHan was the most concerned about right now, and one of them was Gabriel.
[I wish for conversation. This shouldn't be a bad thing for you as well. Will you not talk with me for a moment?]
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Yu IlHan thought – whether or not this is a trap, whether or not this would lead to something annoying......
Whether or not he would encounter with the truth that he was worried about.
After considering all of them, he raised one hand towards the sky. From his hand an enormous amount of mana was released and covered the world.
[The skill, Dimensional Ruler, activates.]
Just with that, the gate to this world was temporarily closed. With that, Yu IlHan and the other two were revealed for all to see, and Uriel immediately noticed his position and flew to him.
[It really is hard to see your face. Your title of Pancosmic Loner is really apt.]
"Why are you giving me damage when you just appeared? And that title already disappeared by now."
Uriel was female. And one that possessed blindingly beautiful white-blond hair and golden eyes. Of course, it would be a joke if Yu IlHan's spear became blunt just because the opponent was a woman. Yu IlHan had already slashed many beautiful women in the past! Moreover, the preemptive strike she dealt to Yu IlHan made his hostility rise to the max.
[I wish you didn't make such a hostile expression. I have lost a companion that I have been with for millions of years.]
"Should I send you to his side?"
[It's not that I'm boasting, but there aren't that many men that could raise their eyes in front of me. ......Truly amazing.]
"Hmph."
Even Helièna couldn't do anything about Unshakable Heart, but you? – was contained in his snort. Uriel made a bitter smile at his attitude and raised her two hands to tell him that she had no hostile intent.
[As you know, the flames I wield cannot surpass yours. Although I wield the power of earth a little, but that would not work on you either. You know right? That I have no chances of winning at all.]
"Yes, I know. That is why I'm more curious as to why you scattered your presence so much in search for me."
[I wish to request your accompaniment.]
"Accompaniment?"
Yu IlHan's accompaniment when he killed one of the Four Great Archangels and became the leader of the fifth faction? This was the most absurd thing he heard after the alliance offer from Greed.
When Yu IlHan tilted his head in astonishment, Uriel laughed and continued speaking.
[I am vaguely aware of what you are doing right now. You are moving in order to not cause collateral damage from the battle of higher existences to lower existences. Are you not?]
"No, I'm just moving in order to survive."
[Even while saying that, you are looking for a way so that as many people as possible are saved, are you not?]
Yu IlHan start feeling uncomfortable. It wasn't that he was purposefully acting evil or anything, and was indeed just trying to protect himself and the ones close to him, but he was annoyed at the fact that someone was making him out to be some saint that saved everyone. Uriel seemed to have realized that and shrugged her shoulders.
[What is important is not that. I have come looking for you according to Gabriel's words, and wish to observe your actions as the representative of the Heaven's Army. With me around, you need not worry about clashing against the Heaven's Army.]
Why is it that her words just sounded like an excuse? Yu IlHan felt like he became the main character of a play and replied to her.
"However, it does bother me for you to accompany me when I don't know what strange beings are hiding amongst you."
[I am one of the Four Great Archangels. I do not leak information and records like the other angels. At least against other 7th classes.]
This proved Yu IlHan's assumption. God had shared his important records from the four Great Archangels. Otherwise, they shouldn't be so arrogant and say that they will not leave any of their own records behind.
"I knew I should have analyzed Raphael's remains first."
[What will you do? Will you accept my request?]
Yu IlHan shrugged his shoulders. It was because he remembered what happened when Raphael accompanied him in killing the traitors of Heaven's Army.
However, the situation was very different from then. Uriel had no methods to interfere with Yu IlHan, and the current him could also.......
"Very well, I will accompany you. Also, I'm not sure if you know this, but there aren't many lower worlds left."
[Yes, I have already heard that your Traps have a tremendous ability. However, your job is not yet completed, right?]
"You're right."
Yu IlHan sighed. Perhaps she looked for him at this time after realizing all of that as well. Was there no way out of this?
Then he could only accompany her until the curtains were lowered.
"There's still Heishia."
Yu IlHan bit his lips and activated Warp with Orochi, Mystic and Uriel in his range. It was time to meet the epilogue of this stage, the truth of the matter.
Chapter 318
Heishia, which he hadn't been to in a long time, still remained as a lower world. After Yu IlHan cleaned up last time, the situation of the people there had become slightly better, and were still resisting against violent hordes of monsters. And the most surprising thing was that.......
"......This world might come under me at any moment. How did it come to this?"
[I have heard that you have shown miracles in this world. The entire world of Heishia now worships you as a God. It might trigger the phenomenon if you show yourself now.]
Even though he hadn't shown himself at all during the cleanup!? Just as he thought that, he also realized that such a thing did not matter.
Once he showed himself and show a similar kind of miracle to the people here, the people will follow him. The faith spread around the mankind in this world will instantly change to deep-rooted belief and Heishia will come under his rule. It will probably be immediately fused to Dareu as well.
To think such a thing had happened when he was just ensuring the safety of his father, Yu IlHan felt quite astonished due to the flow of 'worship' that was transmitted to him from this world, and Uriel spoke with a smile.
[The Fifth and the Brightest shining star, was it? That is definitely true. No other transcender could fuse lower worlds with higher ones. What do you think? Do you still think that you are an egoistic person? Even though your light actions brought salvation to many?]
"Yup. It's fine as long as I and the ones around me are safe. I couldn't care less about anyone else. Even if there are many people who I have saved until now, it is because I'd feel awkward if they died in front of me. I'm no hero. I'm sick of that kind of role play."
[Fufu. You should have acquired the qualifications of a transcender precisely because you can say that. It really is like a certain person I once knew.]
Uriel smiled. Was it his mistake? Uriel's figure was definitely friendly towards him now, unlike her attitude in the previous world.
Yu IlHan judged that it was because this world no longer contained any traces of Heaven's Army. In other words, she had become more honest than before.
"The Heaven's Army has abandoned this world. No, they missed it? ......Or was it purposeful?"
[The Heaven's Army is in management of countless worlds. A simple trick from one of the Four Great Archangels is enough to make a blank chit.]
She just basically admitted that she was the one who did it. Isn't that a perfect crime! This is why authority shouldn't be given to those in power! – Yu IlHan muttered.
"Why did God believe in such beings and share his power?"
[It is not that we were bestowed with parts of his power. It was expropriation. In that process, Luciel became Satan while God went missing, and the Four Great Archangels reigned supreme in Heaven.]
His random grumble resulted in an unimaginable answer and so Yu IlHan momentarily doubted his words. However, when he thought about what the self-proclaimed God said to Kang MiRae, he could somehow naturally accept that as a fact.
"So it's not like what you said was completely stupid and unbelievable."
[At that time we were all of one mind. But what could have happened? The same mind we shared fragmented into pieces. Michael wished to maintain God's rule of the past while Raphael wanted Michael to replace God...... I could not watch as they walked down that path even though they knew it was wrong.......]
"And Gabriel couldn't accept that?"
Uriel's mouth curved into a faint smile at Yu IlHan's question.
[You are smart as expected.]
"I want to hear the next part from Gabriel himself."
Yu IlHan raised his hand.
As a supreme being that exposed all falsehood and concealment, he swung his hands lightly when someone who hid behind the sky showed himself.
He was someone who Yu IlHan knew very well, as well as a person that he had never met before.
"So...... you'll tell me about it right, dad?"
One of the Four Great Archangels that was hiding himself, Gabriel, simultaneously, the leader of the Garden of Sunset, at the same time, a father of one certain loner.
Yu YongHan was there.
[I will, my son. I'll have to tell you everything now.]
[You have worked hard, Gabriel.]
[The work that was done by my son. ......Sorry for worrying you all this time.]
Even while feeling something welling up inside him, he suppressed it and laughed.
"That was nothing. You had such a faint presence that I forgot about you more often than not."
[That is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the matters that you had to take care of because of this unworthy father.]
"You too...... should have suffered a fair bit."
He had a lot of insults piled up that he wanted to say when he met his father again. However, somehow, meeting his father and seeing him in such a tattered state made Ilhan forget about all that.
In fact, he kinda knew that this would be the case. He doubted from the moment that he simply became an insane concealment master from birth; from how the angels supported him at the right time; was assured when he couldn't find any traces of his father from Heishia; realized something new when he met his mother in the world under the Garden of Sunset, where time and space were halted; and realized the identity of his father as he went against the Heaven's Army.
However, he didn't want to believe it. He wished his father was ordinary. He wanted his father to be unaware of the tremendous pressure on his shoulders that even made his legs numb thanks to becoming the pillar of support that so many beings relied on. He wanted his father to live an ordinary, happy life.
It was just that. He was only turning his eyes away from reality and was complaining.
Yu IlHan asked.
"The power of foreknowledge is only possessed by you across all worlds, right?"
[That is correct. This is something I was born with when I was a lower existence. I almost burst out laughing when Michael asked me if I can surpass the leader of the Garden of Sunset.]
When his father laughed, Yu IlHan giggled as well. Orochi and Mystic stood back quietly, and Uriel was smiling while watching the reunion of the father and son.
"When did you make the Garden of Sunset?"
[It is when I realized that Michael had changed. Satan created the Army of Brilliant Light to go against him, but father felt that it wasn't enough. But you know? Running two jobs was a lot harder than expected. There was nothing that went as I wished to.]
"Of course, you even had a hard time raising a family."
His dad was triggered and retorted.
[But I still fulfilled my objective.]
"What was your objective?"
[Confronter of God, the brightest shining star, that is you, as well as the elimination of as many variables as possible. And finally...... the protection of my family.]
Leaving aside the confronter or start of whatever, the reason he created the Garden of Sunset was to protect his family? And one that will be made far in the future? Wasn't that too much of a lie even if he had the foreknowledge ability? Yu IlHan's eyes narrowed.
"Whether it's me or mom, we remember a lot of times when we received damage from the Garden of Sunset and you want me to believe that? Moreover, variables? The Garden of Sunset was the biggest variable that no one could account for, duh!"
[Foreknowledge is in no way omnipotent, and I can only believe that the results of the foreknowledge are true and move accordingly. That is why...... I made you and your mother suffer. There were a lot of things that didn't go as I intended.]
Yu IlHan was flabbergasted after listening to his father's confession. However, thinking back, the Garden of Sunset was related to almost all the incidents that got him caught up until now, in one way or the other.
Isn't Dareu, that was the biggest source of power for him, affected by them as well? Even his precious son Yumir was a child he received from Lecidna, a follower of the Garden of Sunset. His mother too acquired a large power in that halted word, albeit spending a frightening amount of time there.
Yes. Just looking at the results, that was the case.
"I can't forgive you either way. You're guilty. I grit my teeth every time I think about how I was left out on Earth."
[I will gladly receive any kind of punishment. I'm sorry, son.]
It frustrated him even more since he didn't make any excuses. If it wasn't his father and was anyone else instead, he'd have beat him half to death and beat him up the remaining half after that, but he couldn't really do that now could he?
That was because Yu IlHan himself knew how fathers thought of their son. His father had acted in consideration of Yu IlHan and Kim YeSeul. That was why it was more frustrating.
"Your methods are insanely wrong! We're not superman!"
[I thought it was better than death. ......And I didn't think you'd be put through so many serious situations. I'm really sorry.]
"Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!"
Better than death – the words that he couldn't deny since he had watched the deaths of many. Yu IlHan thought about where he had to hit his dad to inflict the most pain but eventually loosened his shoulders.
"Let's get back on topic."
[Did you accept it with just that?]
"It's not acceptance, but delaying the inevitable."
[Got it.]
Fearing that he may end up making his son commit a grave sin (at the expense of his own life), Yu YongHan immediately shut his mouth. Yu IlHan sighed once more and took out a Trap of Restoration and showed it to him
[Oooh, this is that.......]
"Your son's capability."
Although no one could analyze the already installed Traps of Restoration, it was possible to see through its functions if someone saw it in its inactivated state. And as he had expected, Yu YongHan exclaimed after seeing that.
[A really amazing artifact right there. It's an artifact that fully counters the Legnae. Moreover it has an ability that I cannot completely see through.]
"Just what happened to God to become like that?"
That was the important question. He would find out why Yu YongHan had to act as the leader of the Garden of Sunset at the same time as being Gabriel, as well as the reason why he himself had to give up living as a loner all his life and become the leader of Dragon's Nest.
[Yes, I still hadn't told you that yet.]
Gabriel, Yu YongHan, seemed to hesitate for a moment, before blinking his eyes deeply once and started talking.
[Let's see...... that's it. I need to reaffirm this fact before I start. And that is that the God of Heaven's Army is not the creator. 'God' in the truest sense, does not exist.]
Yu IlHan remembered, during the time of the god of love's message. The message definitely stated that God did not exist. So that meant that God, really, did not exist.
"So you mean to say that no one knows who the Creator is, or actually, whether he or she exists or not at all, right?"
[Yes. And the God of Heaven's Army wants to become that Creator.]
Yu IlHan asked while thinking about Legna, as well as the God that came into contact with Kang MiRae.
"He said he made mana, is that a lie as well?"
[It's a lie. Well, he did definitely reach close to the realm of creation, but he did not. All of that is false. What he can make is at best those Legna golems. In one sense, he's even inferior to you, son. Just like this Trap of Restoration, there are numerous things he cannot create.]
"He's inferior to me when I only trained for one millennium? That's one sloppy guy......."
Yu YongHan burst in to laughter after he heard Yu IlHan's words. His son had reached a realm that no one had reached ever since the dawn of creation, and he didn't seem to know how amazing the realm he reached actually was.
"Why is he trying to erase mana?"
[He can only erase mana since he's trying to erase all existence. However, son, as you saw, the God of Heaven's 'creation' is not true creation. He just burns countless souls as fuel to do something similiar to it. Like that, everything will eventually reach destruction....... You know that this is wrong, right?]
"Yes I do."
In one meaning, that meant the death of worlds. Greed's words, of course probably unintentional, had seen through the truth.
"......I have many many other questions to ask, but I'll ask just one more."
Yu IlHan sighed while he asked.
"Why does it have to be now?"
[That is.......]
Yu YongHan, Gabriel, closed his eyes after hearing his question.
He didn't know exactly what his son had been through to reach this position. He only predicted that his son will become the brightest shining transcender, and that he will become the confronter of God.
However, his son had experienced many more things than he had thought, and had grown a lot more. He was no longer being swayed by the worlds and was leading the situation. The vague foreknowledge had finally become clear.
'Earth shall become larger than Heaven. The Fifth and the brightest shining star that rules Earth, shall appear. Born from an angel, raised as a human, reborn into a dragon.......'
Feeling a conflict of disappointment and satisfaction at his son's growth, Yu YongHan told his son the truth.
[It's because you have appeared, son. With your appearance, all other factions have shrunk back, and the moment that God had waited for has arrived.]
'And in the end, he will become the sole God.'
He spoke the line that Yu IlHan had already predicted.
[Harmageddon, is coming.]
Chapter 319
Yu IIlHan was slightly annoyed since it looked like everything was going just as he had predicted. No matter how good he was at predicting foreshadows, wasn't this a little too much?! Was this a type of foreknowledge too? – just as he was thinking about such childish things to escape reality, Uriel spoke to him.
[You have nothing to fear. Gabriel has already predicted that you shall be safe until the very end. Of course, the foreknowledge isn't always correct...... but we shall help you so that it will become as such.]
"You could have done that until now...."
[We did, we did a lot. However, Yu IlHan, you do not think that the worlds you have been to are all the worlds, do you?]
"Ugh, it feels bad since I sound like I'm making excuses but...... you're right. There's no way the things I have seen are everything. I'm not God so I can't see everything."
[Thank you for...... being understanding.]
Right now, she was saying this – while Yu IlHan was cleaning up the mess that the Heaven's Army had made, Gabriel, Uriel and some other angels were concentrating their efforts into places unknown to him. Annoyingly, he couldn't really deny that.
However, Uriel's words hadn't ended yet.
[However, you are right. The blame is ours. I am not going to deny that. I will receive the price for all of it. If my puny life can set everything straight, I would have done so already, but precisely because that wasn't the case is why I lived on and struggled. And right now, I could finally meet you in this place.]
"Yeah, sure."
Even while listening, Yu IlHan didn't stop grumbling. Yu IlHan's greatest objective in life was to churn the guts of all beings that he has grudges with.
"I'm sooo thankful. Countless beings were fighting for my sake? That sounds harsh."
[Hey, didn't I say that foreknowledge isn't omnipotent? Uriel has really suffered.]
[Gabriel...... I haven't suffered at all. The one to suffer was you.]
Very slightly, Uriel blushed at Yu YongHan's, no, Gabriel's words. Yu IlHan, who saw that only Uriel out of the Four Great Archangels was indifferent to him and thought that she was quite special among the four, realized that it wasn't entirely like that, and continuing.......
"Cheating? While your son is in a world of trouble you leave mom and go out with a pretty woman?"
[I do not know anything like cheating, son. I don't.]
He felt like there was an emphasis on "I", implying 'don't you know already?' and made him annoyed.
However, just as he was going to say he didn't know about anything like that either, several faces of women popped up in his mind so he could only stay quiet. Gabriel spoke as if his son was adorable.
[Give it up and accept all of them. This dad does think that love which extends between each other is very beautiful, but I also think loves takes many different forms apart from that, especially with someone as bright and brilliant like you. The new child with the blessing of the god of love should also know that and will understand it.]
"......I'm going to destroy everything you know from your memory. If you say later that you saw my first night with Liera, then I'll overturn everything even if it's you."
[Unfortunately, I can't see such detailed things.]
Yu IlHan put 5 hostility points onto his father. Seeing the father and son having an embarrassing conversation, Uriel interfered between the two with bright red cheeks.
[Well! It is not long until the final showdown. If you have cleared up your talks, then it's time to act!]
"First, you stay 100 meters away from dad. I'll extract one drop of blood from you everytime you smile at him."
[Uuu.]
Even while being on guard against Uriel, he took the Trap of Restoration from his father and passed it to Mystic. Mystic didn't receive it willingly and narrowed her eyes instead.
"Weren't you high and mighty from birth, master, eh? Never did I imagine that you were the young master of one of the Four Great Archangels!"
"But unlike a certain someone who was born a higher existence, I was born as a level 1 human who couldn't even use mana."
"Earth spoon should shut up and activate the Trap."
"Who the hell's an Earth spoon! You dragon spoon!"
"Wait, Earth spoon. Since it's come to this, let's do one more thing too."
"I'm not Earth spoon! Damn you!"
(T/N: The 'spoon' is reference to the proverb "Born with a silver spoon in the mouth")
Yu IlHan immediately activated his creation ability to add something new to the Trap of Restoration. Receiving that, Mystic immediately realized the change and widened her eyes.
"Really?"
"Really really."
"I'll nag you to death if there's any unnecessary casualties, okay?"
"Just do it already."
Mystic threw the Trap of Restoration and activated it. At that moment, a strange wave was released from the Trap of Restoration and engulfed all the Traps of Destruction in this world.
Then, it released all the monsters inside.
[Yu IlHan!?]
"Master, what is this!"
[Son!?]
Not to mention Uriel and Orochi, even Gabriel hadn't seen this with his foreknowledge and called out to him in shock. However, Yu IlHan just snorted at them and stepped forward before activating Manifestation and Declaration simultaneously. Of course, he had already dispelled his concealment.
[Look at me.]
With the support of Manifestation, the range of Declaration expanded to all of Heishia. His voice resounded across the entire world, and the monsters that were released from the dungeons, the humans that were shocked at the sight, as well as the ones that were just living their own lives in secluded places all 'discovered' Yu IlHan.
[Those with malice against humanity. Those with hostility against the continuation of mankind. Those who wish to grow as you lust for the flesh of those I desire to protect.]
His Declaration continued. The huge mana he possessed instantly neared depletion, but drinking Breath made of Echjar's blood, he finished his words.
[You shall all die.]
That was enough. The living monsters in the mountains, hills, skies, seas, volcanoes, caves, everywhere – had all collapsed and...... died on the spot.
[The skill, Manifestation, has become level 32.]
[The skill, Declaration, has become level 57.]
[.......]
[.......]
"......."
"......."
Everyone watching lost their words. However, Yu IlHan didn't care about them at all. With the annihilation of all the monsters, mana instantly filled the world, and the Traps of Restoration absorbed all that mana and spread it to the other Traps of Destruction in an increasingly shorter intervals.
All the Traps of Destruction changed into Traps of Restoration in an instant. In the future, neither Dungeon Breaks nor Overflows would happen in this world.
No, not only that.
[I am the God you have been waiting for.]
Shamelessly shouted Yu IlHan.
[So obey me.]
His mana was already nearing its limits, but the endlessly filling mana supplemented the mana consumed in the Declaration skill. In other people's view, he looked like he had an endless supply of mana.
However, Yu IlHan was in fact nervously checking the time that he could maintain the two skills simultaneously. In the first place, it was a miracle that he could stay standing in a lower world that wasn't even in his own domain. It was more so considering that it hadn't been long since he had ascended into his place as a leader of a faction.
[Son, you really are.......]
"Why are you so surprised? You can do it too."
Gabriel was the leader of the Garden of Sunset at the same time being one of the Four Great Archangels. Yu IlHan estimated that his father's concealment had deceived everything and pioneered a unique realm for him to become a higher existence, and it was in fact true. It was just that he was mistaken about one thing – the limits of Gabriel's ability.
[I'm not sure about a world under the Garden of Sunset's rule, but in another lower world, I can't really do that. Moreover, it also takes quite a lot of time to change from the Gabriel form to the Garden of Sunset leader.......]
"Don't say it like you're some transforming robot."
Interrupting his narration of his back story, Yu IlHan firmly received all the gazes of all the people that looked up at him. The people all seemed to be confused, but the ones that experienced the miracles eventually reacted.
"He has come."
"He? He has really come for us!"
"In place of the angels that abandoned us! He has come!"
"No, the one looking down at us from up there, is God! He has come to take us all in!"
Of course, there were many that felt hostile as well. However, the vast majority had shining eyes while they looked at Yu IlHan. Even the ones that held some hostility could not deny that the monsters were annihilated thanks to him.
Like that, Yu IlHan showed them overwhelming power and amplified their minute hope with the following words.
[I shall lead you to a place with a new hope.]
Civilization would probably collapse. Every one of them will be put in the middle of battle. They will meet a big threat to their lives.
Perhaps they may meet an even more frightful and cold environment than this place. Perhaps they may regret their choices and may wish to return. However, Yu IlHan forced them to choose nonetheless. Although he couldn't stay here and protect them, he could take them in and head to Dareu.
[Will you follow me? I shall take you all in when all of your wills turn into one.]
He uttered some cool words, probably taken from a book somewhere. Mystic thought that he was like a drug dealer, while Orochi thought that true scammers were really different.
Meanwhile, Uriel was still slightly out of it thanks to the grandeur that Yu IlHan showed with his Declaration skill, while Gabriel was slightly depressed because his son had surpassed him.
"I shall follow."
Someone spoke. He was one of the generals that fought against monsters in the front lines with the surviving humanity.
"I shall follow you."
Someone else spoke. He was a lonely man who stood at the peak of what little humanity left here, and could no longer be called emperor.
"Please lead us."
Someone else spoke. She was an old woman who lived as a mercenary all her life fighting monsters before dropping out after she had lost a leg and the people important to her.
"I hate those that try to step above us...... dammit, I guess I can't help it."
And someone despaired. He was the knight captain of a ruined country that felt disgust for being swayed around by higher existences at whim, but could only grab the thread of hope that was given to him.
[Yes.]
Yu IlHan nodded his head with a smile. His figure filled the eyes of all of mankind in this world.
[I shall lead you all to my world.]
[You have received the obedience of all surviving mankind from the lower world Heishia. The world of Heishia enters your domain.]
[The world, Heishia, fuses with Dareu.]
"Well, let's return to Dareu first."
Yu IlHan looked back at the others while the entire world of Heishia was being twisted and spoke.
"Dad, you prepare an excuse for mom."
[Ugh...... was it really a good choice that I ended up making her give birth to IlHan? I knew I should have had a daughter instead of a son!]
[Gabriel, fight on.]
Uriel's shy cheers did not help Gabriel at all. While Gabriel heaved sighs after sighs, the fusion of dimensions finally happened.
This was also the moment the 'first stage' Yu IlHan had aimed for in the scattering Traps of Restoration, at the same time being the moment that solved one of his doubts completely, it was also an unprecedented time where a combined front of higher existence factions had formed.
Chapter 320
Having entered Dareu and laying their eyes on the vastness of the land that the world encompassed, Uriel and Gabriel's reactions were as follows.
[How can this be?]
[Son, do you like playing The Sims?]
Yu IlHan watched the survivors of Heishia being incorporated into the world of Dareu and replied in a light mood to Gabriel.
"I did like it before, but I don't like it now. Games are only fun when they're enjoyed as games. It's like how racing games are fun, but the morning commutes feel like trash."
"But you didn't play racing games nor did you ever drive on your morning commute."
"Shut up, Earth spoon."
[Dad!]
"IlHan!"
The ones that were waiting for him while he visited over thirty thousand worlds soon rushed to where he was. Yu IlHan made Yumir stop at a suitable distance before stroking his head, and embraced Liera without any resistance from her.
"I was a little late, wasn't I?"
"You were too late, you idiot! You could have taken me along as well, why do you always leave me behind? Bad guy."
"Sorry about that."
Liera rubbed her face in his chest for a while but then realized that Yu IlHan was accompanied by a man and a woman who were not Orochi and Mystic.
"Huh, this aura is...... Lady Uriel and Lord Gabriel of the Four Great Archangels!? How did this happen!?"
"You took another two other as hostages after killing one!?" – Yu IlHan smacked Liera lightly on the forehead and spoke while looking at Gabriel.
"And your human form?"
[Fine, I'll do it. I just have to do it, right?]
Gabriel grumbled and closed his eyes. Following that, the three pairs of wings, the halo unique to angels as well as the imposing mana that radiated from him all disappeared.
No, it wasn't correct to say they disappeared. It had just all disappeared into a realm of concealment so deep that it couldn't even be recorded by anyone. With the mana gone, wrinkles started appearing on his skin. But unlike before, he looked to be in his mid 30s.
As he naturally lost the power to maintain himself in mid-air, he should have fallen down immediately, but Uriel move to receive him before that happened...... when she was interrupted by an Aegis that appeared and supported his father. Liera finally realized the identity of this person.
"......IlHan's dad? Huh? He was Lord Gabriel until just now."
"He's the same person. Oh, he's also the leader of the Garden of Sunset as well."
"That trash?...... huh? What?"
Liera's eyes were filled with question marks. Gabriel laughed awkwardly.
"Yes, I'm the trash that made you suffer all this time, child. I'm so sorry. Hahahaha."
"Ah...... Mm......? Lord Gabriel is my father-in-law? Father?"
"Oooh, father! That's a nice word to hear! Why don't you call me father again?"
"Dad, shut up."
"Yes sir."
"Huh? HUUUUUUH?"
Liera's brain halted all activity as it overheated from trying to but not being able to accept the sudden change in situation. Yu IlHan patted his lover that was perfect in every way but one, which made her lovelier, and spoke to Gabriel."
"Dad, you can go to mom first. I'll take care of some things before I follow along."
"Haa, I guess I can't avoid it. Okay, fine. It really is depressing......."
[Gabriel.......]
If Kim YeSeul joined the Garden of Sunset before, he could have explained everything to her, but thanks to her rejection in one go, he had to live apart from his wife without any time to explain anything to her.
His wife was such a firm-willed person. Though, that was also why he truly fell in love with her even though he was one of the Four Great Archangels...... but precisely because of that, did he fear meeting his wife.
However, the Aegis that Yu IlHan had called out completely ignored his hesitation and feelings and lead him to where Kim YeSeul was. Uriel followed him until she received Yu IlHan's glare and fell back.
"Since two of the Four Great Archangels have left their position, this should have been revealed to the Heaven's Army as well. But why aren't you falling down to a lower existence even though you went against the laws of Heaven?"
[Because the ones in charge of making angels fall into lower existences are the Four Great Archangels.]
That was so OP. This is why corruption never disappeared in politics! Since the ones that had to punish corruption were corrupted themselves, there's no way the lower ones would stop! Of course, this helped him right now!
[But I cannot stay as an angel forever. If you shall allow it, I wish to join Dragon's Nest. I can retain my power so it won't be a bad deal for you.]
"That's a nice suggestion...... but what about dad?"
[Gabriel just needs to transfer all his powers into the Garden of Sunset. Once that happens, it will become possible to gather all the power of the Garden of Sunset that was scattered across the stars until now. Moreover, no one across all the worlds can steal his pow...... hiik.]
Uriel, who was making an expression filled with love while explaining about Gabriel, shrunk back after being glared at by Yu IlHan once again. Yu IlHan interrogated her more.
"Is there something you did against this harmageddon or whatever?"
[Both Gabriel's and my actions were extremely limited and secretive. It is not that we did not act to persuade those in the Heaven's Army, but because most of them are loyal to Michael.......]
Sure. Although he lost completely to Yu IlHan thanks to his affinity with fire, Michael was the biggest power that allowed Heaven's Army to maintain its presence everywhere and still be stronger than the others. Rather than betraying him, the angels would probably choose to commit suicide.
If there was one way to change their thoughts, it's to slash Michael's neck and have a calm conversation with them, but.......
"But I can't just kill him because of that...... I left Michael as a means of stopping Satan. Can we completely trust in Satan?"
[When we first went against God, he was definitely on our side. I think that is the case....... But now, I'm not so sure. Perhaps, like Michael and Raphael, he may already be.......]
"I kinda thought this was the case but you guys don't help at all."
Uriel shut her mouth. However, Yu IlHan ignored the useless Uriel and fell deep into thought.
First, he was done preparing against the self-proclaimed God, or, the 'God of Heaven'.
He had scattered Traps of Regeneration in all lower worlds that he had been to at least once, and even made them so that they could encroach on other lower worlds by crossing the dimensional wall, so it wouldn't take too long for all Traps of Destruction to disappear from lower worlds. Of course, he had to do the same thing to higher worlds. Although this was something that was in progress, it was smooth sailing at least until now.
What he had to guard against next was the rest of the higher existence factions that didn't care about what the God of Heaven was doing, and were just moving under the assumption that 'Earth is important so it's mine'.
A clash with the Heaven's Army couldn't be avoided since they treated Yu IlHan like he was their archenemy, while the Army of Brilliant Light was on hold since he didn't know what they were thinking, and fortunately the Garden of Sunset looked like they'll become his allies since Gabriel was the one leading them.......
Just the Destruction Demon Army, was a mystery.
"Uriel, how would the Destruction Demon Army move? Didn't dad say anything?"
[As you know already, all they are thinking of is the destruction of everything. As such, they are also the most dangerous beings as well. Not only are the Battalion Commanders and their forces threatening, the most frightening of them all is their leader, Greed. Satan and Gabriel were both originally from the Heaven's Army, but only Greed formed his own organization after reaching the realm of transcenders with his own power.]
Of course, thanks to Yu IlHan's mess, the powers of each faction did decrease a lot. Despite that, Greed's power was still overwhelming, and was even increasing right now. In other words, if there was another being that he had to be wary against on top of God of Heaven, it was Greed.
"Tch, so in the end, I can only do one thing."
Greed told Yu IlHan to become God. Yu IlHan did not believe in his words and ignored him, but in order for them to survive, and to live on, he knew that they have to go to war with the original higher existence factions.
Well, then. What did he have to do first? First, he had to lock the doors of Earth and Dareu, and.......
"Let's invade Heaven and get some supplies of higher metals."
[You're calmly uttering some amazing words.]
"After that, I'm going to make them into Traps of Restoration and steal higher worlds that the other factions possess."
[Are you planning to cause harmageddon yourself!?]
Uriel asked in surprise. Yu IlHan liked her words and let out a hearty laugh.
"Yes. I hate being attacked. Fights are all about attacking first!"
"That's something I like. Fights are all about attacking first after all!"
While Yu IlHan and Orochi were in sync with each other, a loud slap could be heard from the horizon. A voice of pain that filled the world came after.
"Where do you think you're going? This is just the beginning!"
"Honey, please take it lightly on me. Lightly...... Ack!
One of the Four Great Archangels, Gabriel, was suffering against rapid fire slaps from his wife. Seeing Uriel twitch every time skin met skin and caused a melody, Yu IlHan muttered in satisfaction.
"Slap him one thousand time more in my stead, mom."
While Gabriel was undergoing a world of suffering, Yu IlHan checked for any events and changes that might have occurred while he was away, and vitalized the 'carpet' since it became somewhat unstable after the addition of Heishia. He didn't forget to supplement his mana.
"Mr. IlHan."
Not so long after, Kang MiRae came looking for him. As she knew the reunion of Kim YeSeul and Gabriel, she seemed to be more confused than ever.
"Is what I heard and experienced all real?"
"If you're talking about how my dad is Gabriel at the same time as being the leader of the Garden of Sunset, then, yes. You're indeed right."
"What!? He's also the leader of the Garden of Sunset!?"
Oh, she didn't know that bit of information. Yu IlHan just smiled at her. Kang MiRae smiled awkwardly after finding out that Yu IlHan felt the same as her. Although meaty slaps could be heard throughout their conversation, Kang MiRae ignored those and spoke to him.
"I brought all the people on Earth to Dareu. Although they're feeling slightly panicked due to the sudden change in space-time, they should adapt soon."
"Oh, I kinda felt that was the case, but you brought them all. Thanks for the hard work."
Since the people of Heishia had come as well, he might as well take care of everything. Yu IlHan saw that his mana pool was full and activated the Declaration skill to explain the current events to all beings in Dareu.
[Ah, ah. Mic test. Hello, ladies and gentleman of Dareu. I am your God, Yu IlHan.]
"That sounds like an in-flight announcement, master! Have some more grandeur!"
However, the following announcements from Yu IlHan to the entire world didn't sound that much different from an in-flight announcement either. The current Dareu only spawned 3rd class monsters and above, so they would act within designated areas, not be outside too late at night, have a nice time in Dareu, and other stuff like that.
Everything other than that was meaningless. They were either meaningless for them to know, or would scare them even further!
"Oh yes, how about Legnae? Did they invade?"
"It seems they can't completely ignore Mr. Yu IlHan's influence quite yet. We weren't invaded even once."
"It's about time they came......."
The God of Heaven was not the first transcender for nothing. No matter how strong Yu IlHan's defenses were, Yu IlHan didn't think that they'd give up on this world and just let it be.
"Well, it doesn't matter when they invade. Well, let's start our next project."
"Mr. IlHan, will you really be fine? You are moving without having any time to rest......."
"There's not a lot of it left, so we should have a final sprint."
He was going to act once his mother calmed down a little, but the meaty slaps never seemed to cease. By his side, Uriel looked very worried. Even while sighing, Yu IlHan went to the Guardian castle with them. Kim YeSeul and Gabriel were there.
"S, son! Save me! Son!"
"Son, mom's angry right now so leave us be."
"Got it."
"Soooooooooooon!"
Even though his mother was now a true dragon under Dragon's Nest, and Yu IlHan was the leader of that faction, Yu IlHan couldn't go against his mother. Wasn't that how parent-child relationships were?
More so if his mother's rage was directed at his father. Not only could he not go against her, he had no thoughts of doing that either. Yu IlHan decided to calmly wait until his parents finished their reunion event. But at such a good time, he could feel the insolent things that tried to invade Dareu.
[Irregulars, the largest hindrance to the plan.]
[He orders, eliminating irregulars.]
[Execute, eliminate, destroy.]
"how can this be......!"
Executing God's orders, the group of Legnae lightly ripped Yu IlHan's shield apart as if it had been made of paper! Yu IlHan was really surprised after meeting them.
"That's really a villain android's line from the 90s games! Even their timings are so lame!"
"That's what you're surprised about!?"
There were over twenty Legnae that invaded Dareu. Twenty-three whole beings that were over level 500! Moreover, considering how they possessed power to restrain mana, these twenty-three could probably wipe out the majority of higher worlds by themselves.
"Good, I got another source of metals before I go to Heaven."
Of course, Yu IlHan's perception of them was slightly different. He smiled and faced the rude invaders in mid-air. He shouted towards the 'God of Heaven' that was definitely peeking at him behind them.
"If you want to defeat me, then bring around three thousand times more troops than this! Come at me!"
