Limitless Dream

[511] Beyond Time (3)

The sun is the only ether star in the universe.

Life can exist because of the ether emitted by the sun. Life cannot occur anywhere else, even in similar circumstances. Miraculously, even if the organics are combined, they do not last long.

Renozian was unable to overcome his quest for miracles, and eventually was destroyed.

But even that sacred miracle was just one engine for someone.

"The Admiral... Where did he come from?" ’

The original Renault where the Admiral left off.

It was thought to have achieved the ultimate Aether civilization. And he would have perished without overcoming that rampage.

Imagining it gives me the creeps.

The sun is just a small energy source created by the Admiral. A modern civilization like a car engine.

Such an engine could create, sustain and destroy a star system.

Then how great was the destruction where the Admiral had left.

‘Maybe the whole universe will disappear……. ’

Seojin, who was sweating coldly, heard a groaning. Looking down quickly, Shin Hyo-jin's eyebrows were trembling like they were about to wake up.

“Hyo-jin? Are you awake?”

“Ah……. Doctor."

“I'm here because it seems urgent. What the hell happened? ”

“I saw the real reason Renozian was destroyed...... ”

Her eyes narrow, dazed and muttering.

“The Sun… Challenge…… Forging…… Myth…… Prophecy……. ”

“ ……! ”

Han Seo-jin felt a light chill. Did Shin Hyo-jin see the same past as himself?

She said in a sobbing voice.

“The upper mantle was a bomb shelter to protect the Renozian. Our land...... was rooted on it. ”

“ ……. ”

“We... we shouldn't have done it. Challenges to the new world... That's why we're all doomed. Ahh, ahh... ”

She is in quite a state of confusion.

“So, that's why my father told me not to come to me so much.... This place is already closed... Ah, so... But I don't even know that... ”

“Hyojin, calm down. It was over a long time ago anyway. ”

“No! It's not over! ”

Suddenly, she exclaims with her eyes restored in focus. Suddenly, she looks pale and wraps her arms around her body.

“King Arthur's dream must not end! If he wakes up in a dream, it's really over! ”

“…… What did you hear? ”

Seojin was nervous about a story he didn't know at all. It seems that what Shin Hyo-jin saw is not exactly the same as what he saw.

“My father said, Don't come to me anymore. If I keep coming, King Arthur will realize the reality. Then you'll wake up from your dream.... ”

“…… Hyo-jin. ”

“We have to get out of here. Quickly!”

Shin Hyojin urged him with a pale face.

Han Seo-jin looked back. I noticed the enormous remains of King Arthur and Queen Scarlen.

It was heartbreaking to think that humans had been there for so long that they could hardly recognize it.

But soon after holding his mind, he stood up.

“Let's go back.”

Soon after returning to the lab, Seojin closes the wormhole that connects Renozian to the ground. It is now impossible to travel between worlds.

It's not much, but I was able to achieve a certain goal. That's when you get your perfect new sword.

The glorious form, which was a billion years ago, Han Seo-jin couldn't take his eyes off the sword for a long time after returning from Renozian.

‘Necropsy Sword...... What the hell is going on? ’

In Renault's history, the new Sword has existed for some time. I don't know if it was from the beginning, but it was clear.

The history of the Renault family has been accompanied by a new sword.

Who made the new Sword? ’

Who in the Renault family remembers the power of the sun?

Or is it left by the Admiral?

No matter how I think about it, I don't think I saw it in the sword's memory.

‘The sword was left in memory until the day before the solar system was born. Then did the Admiral make it? ’

Enough talk. But on the one hand, I didn't understand.

‘Admiral was wary of the endless inquisition of Humans.... ’

The ship became a "bulkhead", a bomb shelter that protects the Renault according to the Admiral's will. At this very moment, it will be controlling the sun's air flow and stopping the runoff.

The destruction of the Renozian is due to a breach in the bulkhead. The wind caused a momentary disruption in solar control, and the temporarily powerful ether wavelengths destroyed everything.

It doesn't make sense that the Admiral, who limited humanity's civilization, left behind a weapon that can penetrate the bulkhead.

Having organized his thoughts, Seojin felt the popularity of sitting next to him. It was Shin Hyo-jin.

“Are you feeling better now? ”

“Yes, I feel better. ”

Both of them felt awkward in a strange atmosphere.

Seojin opened his mouth first.

“King Arthur must not break his dreams? ”

“The spirits of the Renault people live in King Arthur's dreams. You can't break it. ”

“ ……. ”

It was also in the memory of the sword.

King Arthur, who was brought to ruin, sacrificed himself and took the souls of all the people. They will be happy and live forever in King Arthur's dream even now.

‘The world I went through.... ’

Han Seo-jin smiled bitterly.

I've been in the past several times, and I've also seen Renozian through tartarus. It was King Arthur's dream.

‘That gentleman...... told me this place was the only truth. ’

In King Arthur's dream, the old man is the only one who knows the truth of the world.

Renozian only exists in King Arthur's dreams forever. Of course, the elderly will want him not to wake up from his dreams.

It is not King Arthur's wish, nor the path for the Lenozian people.

“Should I have challenged the new world? ”

Shin Hyo-jin smiled bitterly at Han Seo-jin's muttering.

“The reclaim of the throne is not the King's Order. aspirations all over the continent. ”

“ ……. ”

“The king, of course, has a duty to fulfill the will of the continent's people. That's it. No one knew the truth. Myths and legends...... Nobody doubted that. ”

“In the end...... it didn't mean anything that we came all the way to the Renault. ”

“…… to you. ”

Shin Hyojin smiled with a sad look in her eyes.

“I like this, too. ”

“ ……. ”

“It hurts a little bit. But it's better than not knowing anything. I know it's been that way in my past life with you, and I just want to do this. ”

“And you got the power to slap Superman. ”

“There's that too. ”

Her complexion brightens as she takes it in a light joke.

“Doctor.”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“We won't be seeing each other anymore because of the Renozian... but we're still friends, right? ”

She's right.

The two have a common denominator for finding the Lenozian so far. I stayed close for the same purpose

But now that we have confirmed the existence of Lenozian, we have no motive to pursue it. The secret only two people shared lost its value.

“Of course. And in the future, I will study the power of Queen Scarlen, not Renozian, but Hyojin. I think that's why I'm going to see you more often. ”

“Please pay attention to Hana. ”

“ ……. ”

“I think that's as far as we go in this life. ”

I know she sees herself with special eyes. She was married in her past life, and she had a dream that brought it to life.

If there was no Song, he might have loved her. She was that distinct and attractive.

However, fate is always a timing.

Han Seo-jin smiled, hiding his bitterness.

I mean, maybe I loved her, but I didn't mean I love her now. I could tell you this clearly.

“Now go home and rest for a while. I think I'll just look at the new sword for a while. ”

“Okay, don't overdo it. ”

Before closing the door, she turned around and said,

“Good night, Arthur. My king.”

Before Han Seo-jin could answer, she quickly closed the door.

The upper mantle, the bulkhead, is a sphere transformed by the ship carried by the Admiral into a sphere. Its role was to regulate the turbulent solar air flow.

“It's been a long time, but is the sun still raging? ”

Maybe the solar flare stopped a long time ago and the spacecraft went dormant.

Given the level of civilization the Admiral has seen, it is unlikely that one scourge of the sun has yet to be subdued.

However, there are many burdens to taking part in the test of goodwill.

‘Don't touch the bulkhead wrong. ’

The bulkhead, the modified spacecraft, was not just the ceiling protecting the Renault. A giant enchantment that controls the sun itself.

Even if the sun is really stabilized, what if it hits the bulkhead wrong and it stimulates the sun? The ground will also follow the Lenozian.

Han Seo-jin realizes how reckless it was to scan the bulkhead to find the Lenozian. Luckily, it didn't cause any stimulus to the bulkhead.

‘No, you can't just touch the bulkhead. ’

Han Seo-jin changed his mind from "don't touch it wrong" to "don't touch it."

‘Let's forget about Renault. Let's just study the new sword. I might find something. ’

Han Seo-jin glanced at the golden disc of Tartarus 3. A huge mainboard, hundreds of meters in diameter, is now empty in the center.

He thought about what kind of performance he could achieve by putting a full new sword in there, then realized what he had missed for a moment and smiled bitterly.

“When I was halfway there, the board couldn't keep up with the core performance and only grabbed my ankle. ”

I think I need to expand the board to fully use the power of the Necromancers.

Han Seo-jin cherished the new sword. My heart trembles at the thought of the infinite power within.

“Let's never touch the bulkhead and the sun. ”

* * *

The king heard someone whisper.

- Your Majesty, please fulfill our dream.

- Take the power of the sun. May that power make all people prosper forever.

- Long live the royal family!

― Renozian civilization spread its greatness throughout the universe!

Whispers mixed with noise, wailing, pleading, advice, longing, and all kinds of emotions continue to wander through consciousness.

― Please resurrect Renozian…….

The voice of a sobbing woman.

Definitely familiar to the ear. I feel so unconscious just hearing it.

The king slowly opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar landscape filled with gray death caught my eye.

The king raised his head, looking up at the sky. The dungeon of the god that holds the Renozian prisoner is high up there.

The king reaches for it, and it collapses powerlessly. And it didn't move.
