Hero without Blood or Tear

[216] The one with the crown. (2)

It's been a long time since I've seen a boiling abyss. A huge, 100-meter bronze door opens with a heavy sound.

Whoo-hoo.

Inside, there was a dark darkness. As I walked inside, only the noise of my heels ringing in the marble floor was confusing.

Glug. Glug.

Occasionally, you hear a sticky, giant chunk of flesh moving through the darkness. I can feel something big in front of me, but I can't see it.

“Valrusted.”

A distressing voice echoes out of anyone's knees. In this situation, of course, you're right to bend your legs. But I laughed joyfully.

“Great one. Hahaha!”

“Kuhahahaha! It's been a long time. ”

The boiling abyss rejoiced at my unstoppable attitude. Through the darkness, a giant eye emerges, staring down at me overwhelmingly. And in the darkness, many tentacles' silhouettes illuminated. Like an octopus living in the deep sea, it sometimes flashed and disappeared.

“Congratulations on your victory. The Great One.”

“Thank you. Heheheheh heh! When he overcame the unspeakable darkness, he was truly joyful. This is all because of you. Ballersted. Sent us the jewels of eternity. ”

The boiling abyss gives out a huge tentacle. At the end of the tentacle, a black crown floats. It looked like it was made of burning darkness.

“Is this the crown of darkness? ”

“Yes. A while ago, I put together a jewel and a crown. You're the first person I've ever shown it to. Ballersted.”

“Truly an honor. Bondi, this isn't a show. ”

If you have read about it in the Temple of Chilma, you said that the Dark Crown will never show it, especially to other armies of darkness.

“Yes. The Mage of this crown betrays even the most loyal." That's why the struggling death of the past, the one crouching in the grave, and the undeniable darkness rebelled. ”

The three originally were a Boiling Abyssal Faithful, but they coveted the crown and drew in forces and rebelled.

“Of course, the most decisive one is because I gave up absolute power and woke up to observe the world. ”

He rarely seems to recall the past.

“Are you going to wear that crown now? Why are you still holding it? ”

“To say goodbye to you. ”

“Yes?”

What the hell does that mean? Upon raising the question, the boiling abyss said something unexpected.

“He who wears the crown of darkness becomes the absolute ruler of the universe. The universe is as he dreamed it would be. ”

I am familiar with it.

“And he who wears the crown falls asleep. The universe is like his dream. ”

“No, you can't. ”

“There was no crown. This crown and jewels are actually the flesh of this body. ”

“If you wear a crown... you go back to your original existence and fall asleep. ”

“Correct.”

I can't believe we're breaking up like this. The door is blocked. No, actually, I was expecting an end. How long will his friendship last...?

“Valrusted. Don't worry about Likentiatus. I will give you complete independence with my power after wearing the crown. I declare a world where even the highest armies of darkness cannot be invaded. ”

“… Thank you for your consideration. ”

I heard good things, but I don't like it. I wanted to hear that. I've been so energetic. Why is that?

“Likentiatus will not become an isolated island world. You can interact with the outside enough. But no one will be able to target it hostile. ”

“… that's what I was hoping. ”

Besides, the boiling abyss told me about all kinds of rewards.

“Constellation tubes give us unparalleled ability. I'll give you the power to see the whole universe alive! ”

“I will hand over the tens of thousands of heroes and Mi-hee's souls that this body has enslaved! ”

“And all the astronomical treasures you've accumulated! ”

“I give you the power not to call it a substitute. If you are angry, even the forces of darkness will tremble! ”

Tons of rewards poured out. I really thought it was a boiling abyss. He seemed to be willing to return the best of his winnings.

“I don't need to worry about Likentiatus anymore. ”

I'll give you hundreds of identity essences. With that, I can go and construct the Pantheon to my liking. Many heroes and Mi-hee's souls can be used as servants of the Pantheon.

Astronomical property has allowed me to buy valuable things from other stars indefinitely. Even the forces of darkness have the power to fear, and there's nothing left to fight for.

“Hahaha.Thank you for your kindness.... ”

But I ended up with a blurry tail. For some reason, the boiling abyss, which was shouting excitedly, shut up.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Only heavy silence is filled with the feud of black darkness. No matter how loud you shout to celebrate the victory, there are some things you can't deny even if you promise generous rewards.

Now comes the moment of good-bye. Whether to put it in my mouth or not, I finally vomited unbearably.

“... Thank you, but what's the point now that there is no Great One?" ”

“ ……. ”

The boiling abyss, which was always confident and confident, said nothing. Then I sighed for a long time and opened my mouth.

“Valrusted. Give me a minute. ”

“Yes.”

“When I woke up, I was no longer the universe itself. Most of the power was separated into a dark crown. After that, I lost my crown and became just one of the great armies of darkness. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then I saw all sorts of things. Betrayal, treason, timing, jealousy, hatred, coercion, fornication, obsession, greed, fear, cowardice……. ”

The boiling abyss that spoke up to that point paused and stepped forward. His enormous body has finally been revealed. It was much more magnificent than before, but it seemed powerless somehow.

“I met a lot of such emotions and sometimes regretted waking up from my dreams. Because the universe was more beautiful when you were asleep. ”

“ ……. ”

“But I found it as rain at the end of all my journeys. Friendship is because I have found something shinier than the jewel of eternity. ”

“Maw.... ”

“Valrusted. I tell you the truth, it was not until I found friendship that I realized I had seen this vivid universe in my dreams. ”

The boiling abyss pauses, then says.

“I'm glad I found something at the end. This was something I had never seen in my dreams. I thank you, and I promise you one thing. ”

“Like what? ”

“If I go back to sleep, I will enrich the universe more than I ever did before. This is where my friends live. ”

Suddenly, he grabs one side of the crown of darkness and starts tearing it apart with tentacles.

Keystrokes!

The spark bounces tens of meters as the metal scratches.

“Maw!”

Finally, a piece of jewelry was torn out.

“Once you've completed the Dark Crown, you'll need all the gems. But one or two drops after completion, the crown itself is not a problem. ”

“Then how can you break the crown? ”

“Nothing to worry about. This won't interfere with the crown. ”

The boiling abyss gives me a jewel of eternity. And again, he smiled gracefully.

“Khhh-ha-ha-hah! Ballersted! This body is generous. In honor of your friendship, the crown will leave you with an empty hole! ”

As he said, it is part of his body, the jewel of eternity. How could you do that to me?

“I can't accept it! ”

But he wasn't the one who would listen to me. I shouted in haste, as I tried to take the crown of darkness and put it on my head instead. I had to tell him something before he went to sleep.

“Boiling Maw! The name of this gem is forever, so will our friendship! ”

“Kuhahaha! Kuhahaha! ”

I laughed loudly as the tentacles of my whole body boiled to my satisfaction.

“Here! Farewell! Ballersted!”

* * *

The absolute presence in the universe has returned. All who are followed are placed on the throne of darkness, at the center of chaos. Many years have passed since he disappeared.

The chaotic universe began to calm as it settled where it should have been. The universe has been filled with terrible chaos, but now one clear law has penetrated even this eternal world at once.

It was a fair world, a dream of a sleeper.

Although the universe was the most violent of the wild, its causes and consequences were clearly achieved. Because that was the will of a sleeping man.

Around the sleeping absolute, the forces of darkness seize their feet. All of them were great beings who made a name for themselves in the universe.

However, there were the three most noteworthy, namely the undeniable darkness, the struggling death, and the one crouching in the grave. They were punished in ridicule in front of the absolute in their own way.

The indescribable darkness revolves around the absolute one, playing an endless flute of unwanted tones. The struggling death follows you endlessly through a drum made of its own hide. At the end of the procession, the person crouching in the grave dances awkward and bizarre.

The top three dark armies wandered around the absolute forever with their own mission. Now, treason was a dream come true.

In fact, the past rebellion was never inevitable. But now the absolute one is satisfied and deep asleep, never to wake up again.

No one knows the details, but it is said that the absolute one found something shinier than any gem at the end of his life. Many wise men whispered that it had saved the present universe.

Because if the absolute person had kept only negative things and slept at the end of his life, the universe would not be as rich and fair as it is today.

The universe was as plentiful as the autumn field. Many civilizations were wiped out by disaster, but more than that always flourished. It's because he never wanted it.

The forces of darkness have not been as powerful as they once were. They still devour stars and souls, but many have retreated into the deep darkness of the universe. The universe was occupied by identity and mortality.

But not one of them flourishes anywhere near this dark throne. However, there was a figure of a person in this transcendent place.

“He is the source of Samran and in the Abyss. ”

He who is bandaged is called the Black Pharaohs. The armies of darkness carrying the absolute ruler found the black pharaohs, but they had no particular reaction. The Black Pharaohs know that they are, in fact, the incarnations of their own kind.

“Stupid father, I don't even understand.... ”

The black pharaoh could not calculate his master, the absolute one. I still don't know what I was thinking when I woke up. He thought the universe was doomed that day.

Moreover, I could not understand that the absolute one made deep friendships with one of the most insignificant races in the universe, Humans. But that was the absolute one.

No one knew what it meant.

“Well... it doesn't matter. ”

The Black Pharaohs think. You're not the only one who doesn't know the absolute truth.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. ’

After a long time, I thought I'd like to see the famous and famous Pharaoh in that universe.

When I heard the gospel, I was beating one of the passing armies of darkness and enslaving him. I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

“Good. Let's go. ”

The Black Pharaohs turn to greet the absolute.

“Actually, I like the current universe. ”

The Black Pharaohs realized that one human being has made the universe more generous than ever before. Many civilizations are beginning to bloom, like the Renaissance.

The fate of mortals who lived miserably as food and livestock for a great army of darkness changed. All of these changes started with a relationship with only one person.

“No one knows. Ballersted, how his existence saved the universe. ”

The universe was cold but beautiful.
