Main Character Hides His Strength

82. Truth of Disasters (1)

[Bring the dish inside.]

The world beyond the portal was somewhere in the sky.

A lot of floating islands and rocks that floated in the sky mixed with clouds and blue sky came into Kim Sung-cheol's view.

"Is this really the Floating Islands? ’

The Floating Islands.

A place of fantasy told only by stories.

The landscape in front of Kim Sung-cheol was definitely consistent with the landscape of the legendary affluent islands.

Kim Sung-cheol walked forward feeling a little surprised. The portal was on the edge of a floating island covered in green moss.

Kim Sung-cheol looked down at the bottom of the floating island.

Fluffy.

A dark blue rough sea unfolds beneath the feet of a pebble.

The strong winds blowing from all around made the corners of Kim Sung-cheol's clothes flutter endlessly.

Kim Sung-cheol found an ancient dragon, a creature who summoned himself by covering the eye area from the wind with his palm.

“Look behind you. ”

I hear voices.

It was a soft and heavy voice with a fierce energy somewhere.

“Hee hee... I can feel your voice. ”

Vertelgia mutters, trembling in her pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol found a large cave behind him.

A cave big enough for a giant dragon to get in and out.

Kim Sung-cheol took a step into the cave with the dish covered.

It was nothing but a big cave.

There were no servants guarding the cave.

As the light faded further in, Kim Sung-cheol had to cast Fairylight to drive out the darkness.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol could see a giant being on the other side of the darkness.

A dragon.

A pure dragon, with nothing to add or subtract, lies beyond the darkness, displaying a great presence.

Kim Sung-cheol walked in front of the dragon with a dish.

As you approach the dragon, the golden scale shimmers with the Fairylight.

“Put down the dish. Human.”

The dragon said.

Then, in front of Sung-cheol Kim, a table made of granite was summoned.

Kim Sung-cheol put his dish, Kim Sung-cheol, on the table.

The dragon lifted up Kim Sung-cheol's plate with his mind and took it to his mouth.

Enemies. Squeak.

By human standards, it's a well-stocked food, but by dragon standards, it's not even close.

However, the dragon in question chewed and savored for a long time, putting in his mouth something that was not even a mouthful.

“ ……. ”

It took longer than I thought.

When Sung-cheol Kim was starting to feel bored, the dragon woke up.

“I did something about this addictive sweetness. Starch Sugar.”

The dragon said.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“Yes.”

“Somehow I said I missed it. That's it.”

Beyond the darkness, the eyes of the dragon flourish.

“Are you an alchemist? ”

“I'm also an alchemist. ”

“Looks like it. To see me as the first dragon and not shrink at all. ”

The next moment, a bright light emanates from the ceiling and pushes the darkness away.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to see the ancient dragon in a radiant light that could not be compared to Fairylight.

It was a giant with a colorful scale.

The golden scales were piled up on a beautiful scale that sparkled like a jewel all over the body, and the beautiful whole body was filled with a strong enough energy to make the hair of the entire body stand flat.

“Wow...”

You feel surprised by Bertelkia.

It was overwhelmed by the beauty of a dragon.

On the other hand, Kim Sung-cheol's fragmentation of seeing the dragon was unstable.

He finds an unstable stream of air flowing around the dragon that is overwhelming, but likely to explode soon.

‘You're different from Asin. I'm close to Asin, but I'm different from Asin. ’

Soon, the dragon said.

“I am the first dragon and master of the class, Cooking. Androada.”

An absolute jewel to be called the Father of all dragons.

As an ordinary person, the power of his legs will subside just by hearing his voice, but Kim Sung-cheol is not an ordinary man.

He stared at the giant dragon without shaking his words and said in a bold tone.

“I am Kim Sung-cheol. ”

“Oh…? ”

Andrea's eyes gleam.

“I need to know one gallbladder. Even the man with the twin swords looked just ordinary compared to you. ”

“A man with two swords? ”

“It was about 1,000 years ago. It's not even a thousand years old. This era is not over yet. Anyway, the man's name was Desport, I believe. ”

“Desport...? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

“I've brought a lot of colleagues. It was actually an Elven woman who cooked, and I was impressed by Stardust. She was a skinny alchemist, but she came here as a collaborator. An honorable brooch was awarded to an alchemist. ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who heard that, seemed to know who the dragon was talking about.

"Desfort. He's a Vestiaret. You came here with Eckhart. ’

“He must have done a lot of research on the world. ”

“What did he ask you? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“A way to destroy the world. ”

“ ……. ”

“Technically, I knew how. What he asked me was a place where I could make that happen. ”

“The Isle of Bitterness? ”

“You know better. Humans. But you can infer one thing from that conversation. This android knows everything, but nevertheless the limits of the truth I can tell you are determined by the facts you know. ”

Andrea's eyes flutter once.

Kim Sung-cheol understood what that word meant at once.

A smile appeared on Kim Sung-cheol's mouth.

“Why are you smiling? Human.”

Androidas will never know.

What human Kim Sung-cheol saw at the end of the world.

“Can I ask you a few questions? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“Whatever. But I won't give you much time. So think about it and ask. The value of the knowledge that a finite human gains from me cannot be fulfilled. ”

His voice is filled with endless pride.

Truly the first dragon down himself.

Perhaps Kim Sung-cheol is just one of the meaningless lives that lives for a short time in the eyes of Android.

Kim Sung-cheol said the first question, rebutting his fiercely high pride and feeling a strange rebellion in his heart.

“I saw order in the transcendent world. ”

In just one word, Kim Sung-cheol surprised the first dragon.

It was a gigantic new breed of android that flinched once.

“ …?! ”

As I felt a slight tremor in the cave, Kim Sung-cheol continued to speak in a bold voice.

“Is it really God? ”

“Kitchen!

Andrea raises her head.

Until just now, there was no strength to be confident.

“Who... who are you? What are you talking about? ”

I'm embarrassed.

An ancient being called the Father of all dragons.

“You're asking nonsense! Human! Are you talking about me? ”

Unlike the dragon, Kim Sung-cheol honestly said what he saw with a steady tone of one tooth.

“I'm not sleepwalking. Because I went up the stairs. ”

“Stairs… Stairs…?! ”

There is a spark in Andrea's eyes.

“Stairs to God. ”

“Are you saying it's all up? ”

The magic circle rises in Andrea's eyes.

In an instant, dozens of magic groups came together and disappeared, and Andrea looked at Sung-cheol Kim with magical powers.

“Oops…! ”

A jewel-like scale of dragons crumbles and a huge claw grips the ground.

It was a shock.

It's hard to bear even the ancient dragons who lived for so long.

Such a man came to find himself.

“I can't believe this is what a scum cook and carnivore looks like...”

A deep sigh comes out of Andrea's mouth.

“A freak. That's a lot of talk. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his neck around and spread his base.

“Weren't you the nerd? I don't think your appetite for something like saccharin is normal either. ”

“ ……. ”

Andrea is silent.

With a time close to tyranny, the mysterious force on Kim Sung-cheol's body was beyond his perception.

Kim Sung-cheol casually listened to the sound of the wind blowing out of the cave and waited for Android to clear his mind.

It was only around the time when Bertelgia became bored and turned around that she opened her mouth as rain.

“... The world is finally coming to an end. ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who was sitting in the corner repairing the corner of his coat, stopped sewing and got up.

The dragon continued.

“You were able to complete the staircase, and of course, your will may well surpass the unsub's, but I think differently. ”

The dragon scratches the rock with a giant claw.

“The time is near. The alchemist who visited me in the old days said he had almost completed the steps of God. It was unthinkable back then. In the past, there were far more powerful heroes...”

At that time, Kim Sung-cheol cut off his words.

“More than that, I'd like to hear the answer to the question I just asked you. ”

There was only one answer Kim Sung-cheol wanted to hear.

What he saw beyond the stairs.

And what I've seen in the transcendental world.

Which is the true God.

Andrea's massive new statue trembles lightly.

Kim Sung-cheol sensed an ominous premonition.

Androida soon opened her mouth.

“… I dare not answer that question. Either way, he's not something I dare mention. ”

The answer is impossible.

I was disappointed in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

“… Is that so? ”

But he didn't blame Andrea.

It's the only thing that matters.

It is also an ancient ease.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his back without hesitation, leaving no words to provoke the other party.

“Are you leaving already? Human...? No, you can't call yourself human. ”

It was android who was so sweet.

With numerous titles as the first dragon, the godfather of all dragons, and a witness of infinite knowledge, he was being ignored by a man who suddenly came upon him.

“Is there anything else you'd like to know? I can tell you anything else. ”

“Not really. ”

I had a few questions, but I didn't want to ask.

When I am most curious about the fundamental question, what can I do by asking other trivial things?

Andrea continued to encourage him behind his back as if he had read such thoughts of Kim Sung-cheol.

“What you want to know. You will have to find the answer yourself. ”

“I'm not here for that answer. Dragon.”

Kim Sung-cheol turned around and said in a bold voice.

Human and dragon gazes.

Tranquil human eyes, like a swift dragon and a lake.

The dragon spoke after a short time of silence.

“Go back to that stairwell. Then you will be able to see for yourself the answers you seek. ”

“Check...?"

A faint smile came to mind at Kim Sung-cheol's mouth.

“You already know the answer, don't you? ”

The voice of the dragon sank.

“Is that it? ”

I had an idea to ask a few questions.

Kim Sung-cheol once again turned to Android and asked the question of being kept in his heart for a long time and being the purpose of life itself.

“What is disaster? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

Andrea trembles slightly as before, but this time she is not avoiding it as before.

The dragon said in slow, serious tone.

“… disaster is a necessary evil. ”

“Need?”

Androida nodded and replied to Kim Sung-cheol's question.

“The need to preserve this world. That's the nature of the disaster. ”
