It was not far back.

After a difficult battle with the Apocalypse and a small feast with the Emperor.

Kim Sung-cheol met a book inside Eun's tower.

It was a book that introduced itself as the Bertelgia 55.

Kim Sung-cheol never forgot his conversation at that time.

It was Kim Sung-cheol who spoke first.

“Bertelgia 55...? What's that?”

At that point, Kim Sung-cheol already knew.

You're asking what you don't need to know right now.

If you have experience of Kim Sung-cheol, you will often realize that there is a fact in the world that you do not need to know.

He is neither a blood-boiling young man nor a meddler without his intervention.

But people make mistakes.

Followed by a few questions.

The price was terrible.

The unbearably heavy truth came from the mouth of the book that was guarding the book of disasters.

Kim Sung-cheol was greatly shocked and sealed the fact deep in his heart and didn't tell anyone.

Even to myself, Bertelgia, who is always with me.

I believed that was enough.

However, the heavy truth that I encountered then appeared again in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

“Yes, I am Bertelgia 49. ”

The book that cured Bertelkia spoke with a machine-like tone.

A dark shadow fell on Kim Sung-cheol's face.

A stream of wind blew in front of Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, and the view of Eun Man's Tower, the Book of Catastrophes, was unfolded as pictured.

In recollection, Kim Sung-cheol stood in front of the book.

Called himself number 55.

At that time, Kim Sung-cheol asked the book.

“I've seen one just like you. ”

“Huh? Who? The one outside? ”

“No, when I was in a country called Ixion, a man appeared to me and asked me for a quest. He was just like you, but with a different vibe. ”

“Really? Is it him? Was he clumsy, like a machine? ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head at the question.

55 gazed at Sung-cheol Kim and continued to speak calmly.

“I think he's probably number 49. It's this way to take him next to you, but 49 is the only one that can move like his paw. ”

Recall ended there.

49, who went up and down at that time, is talking to him right in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

“Excuse me. Excuse me? ”

Kim Sung-cheol raised his head and stared at number 49.

“What's going on? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, 49 hesitated for a moment and asked more carefully what Kim Sung-cheol noticed.

“But how did you know I was number 49? It's a secret I haven't told anyone. ”

“You said it with your mouth. ”

“When did I? I'm not a light-mouthed book. ”

49 was confronted by Kim Sung-cheol in a cozy voice.

But no matter how calm and polite you are, what you did was wrong.

Kim Sung-cheol gazed indifferently at number 49.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You said 49. ”

“… Ah. Ahhh?!"

49 literally stopped in the air as if shocked.

“Kung-.”

Dum is making weird noises.

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia on the ceiling with anxious eyes.

Apparently, the wound healed.

Not only did Marakia tell us that there was a scar on the rag bandage, but the place with the holes was so clean that no small defect could be found.

But Bertelgia hasn't woken up since he lost his mind.

“Is this guy all right? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked Bertelkia with his eyes fixed.

“Yes, for now. ”

49 appeared to have recovered from some shocks.

But there is a saying that cannot be overlooked.

Kim Sung-cheol's head turned toward 49.

“For a while?”

49 spoke increasingly in a unique mechanical manner, seeking coolness.

“To be precise, the strength to carry out the remaining Creationist quests here is restored. ”

“Is that so?"

Thank goodness.

Kim Sung-cheol wanted to express his infinite gratitude to 49 who suddenly appeared at this moment.

However, it seemed that 49 still had something to say.

49 was followed by a voice that was insensitive.

“But I don't recommend continuing the quest. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was curious.

“Why?”

“He doesn't want it anymore. that someone has completed that quest. ”

49 responded with a small voice.

The power of a horse does not depend on the size of the voice.

The power of a horse depends on the meaning it contains.

It still is.

If I did not pay attention, Kim Sung-cheol knew and believed that it was natural for him to let go.

“… Eckhart doesn't want a Creator Quest? ”

It is placed directly in front of the message he left when he first learned of the existence of Eckhart in the Summon Palace.

Didn't Ekhart tell you there?

I'll give you all the knowledge and power you have, so bring back Bertelgia, the daughter you value more than your life.

The guide, Bertelgia, emphasized several times.

I want to make Kim Sung-cheol a creator and return to the human body.

But now, commitment and hope at that time are being denied.

To another book that looks exactly like Bertelkia and has the same name.

49 continued:

“Yes. Things are different. Just as you were 10 years ago and you are now, you are not the same as your father who made the Creator Quest in the Summon Palace. ”

“Not at all different? ”

“Yes. In every sense. ”

Silence returns to the Stranger's Control Room.

It was issue 49 that broke the silence.

“Plus, I don't recommend going on quests for realistic reasons. because my treatment is not perfect, it's just temporary. ”

“Temporary?”

49 was a horse shaking like a nod.

“Maybe 153 can survive this and the next one, or the quests that remain here in Ixion. But it's not enough to unleash the power hidden in the two kingdoms to the north and the last. ”

“What does the word 'lack' mean? ”

“A simple stun won't stop you. Maybe your whole body will burn up, or you'll get shredded to ashes. ”

A deep wrinkle was engraved on Kim Sung-cheol's face when he heard the emotionless voice in 49.

“ ……. ”

“Then something very dangerous will happen. Like you did in Nimpes. ”

The moment I heard that, a black giant appeared and disappeared like a lightning bolt in front of Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

The power of the Black Giant hidden inside makes Kim Sung-cheol's heart numb just by remembering.

A sigh came out of Sung-cheol Kim's mouth.

“... were you watching everything? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked in a tired tone.

“Positive. He sees everything. As a great being to rule this world on behalf of God. ”

At that time, Kim Sung-cheol's nose smelled of black sulfur passed by.

A stalk of wind blowing from the open entrance brought in a part of the smell of death's fall.

The irritating smell made him think of a man's face.

Seven heroes, Desport.

A disgraceful servant who caused the fall of death.

As Deathport said, Ekhart has become like a god.

“… to see everything? ”

“Technically, you're not seeing everything. It would have reduced the life span of a few fathers. But look at most of it. But if you're as powerful and dangerous as you are, you're always watching. with special tools like me. ”

49 retracted and opened the bookshelf once, creating a blue light on the body to appeal to its existence.

His personality is palpable, but what he does is not so different from what Bertelgia does.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so, staring at issue 49, said in a bold tone.

“I didn't realize you were here. ”

Not much is out of Kim Sung-cheol's sight.

Even his own senses are superior among mortals, and the legendary spiritual eyes of truth have the ability to determine any magical pranks and tricks that appear in front of him.

Only one deceives Kim Sung-cheol.

Regret who goes by the pseudonym "nobody."

In Kim Sung-cheol's question, 49 said in an excited tone, forgetting even the mechanical tone that he consciously used.

“I have no choice. As you can see, I have a mythical psychic who makes perfect seclusion possible. ”

“Mythical Spirits? ”

“Well, that's not important, so let's get on with it. I've been tasked with observing you for a while anyway, so find out what you can. ”

He pretends to be a machine, but only shows his emotions when he boasts.

“Oh, of course we're not your enemies. On the contrary. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had any reason to stop you and heal that child until I was humiliated by that arrogant child. ”

Kim Sung-cheol silently listened to number 49 with his lips closed. That's right, not the enemy.

However, we cannot agree that we are not enemies, but allies.

Kim Sung-cheol's icy brain began to spin when he regained his composure.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol said toward 49.

“I know you didn't mean any harm. ”

“That's a relief. ”

“Until now. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes flashed.

He doesn't believe in anything anymore.

Until he convinces himself.

That's why he's not being dragged around.

The air flow in the room has changed.

49 felt the change and waited for Kim Sung-cheol's question in a steady manner.

“What is your master's true purpose? ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

It was a voice with insubordinate power.

49 could see that Kim Sung-cheol didn't want a long answer for some reason. It was a strange experience I had not experienced so far.

‘This man... is giving more than just words to the will. ’

It is not a power granted to mortals.

49 thought so, and responded with a steady voice, unlike the inner shaking.

“The stability of the situation. ”

“Tranquility? ”

“Now, there's a series of events in this world that you can't handle alone. You don't have to explain that to yourself, knowing most of the facts, do you? ”

Asked 49, Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head.

“But the crisis is bigger than you think. The world has been frozen for too long because it had to be. It's time for a crisis. Things that have been repressing for thousands of years are opening their eyes and preparing to bring about the chaos that they want. ”

“You mean the dungeon? ”

“Including that. But then there was another variable. ”

49 stared straight at Kim Sung-cheol.

“You are the most dangerous thing that has ever happened to me. ”

“ ……. ”

In the past, he would have denied it.

But now I know.

The presence of the Black Giant looking at himself inside.

“The gods think it's best to get rid of you, but you don't. He wants you to solve the disaster. ”

“… Eckhart? ”

At that time, Kim Sung-cheol felt a slight vibration below.

“Ugh... ugh...”

It was Bertelgia.

I showed movement for the first time since I fell down.

He began to regain consciousness.

Forty-nine saw Bertelgia trying to wake up and was getting ready to leave.

“I think it's time to wake up. He doesn't like me very much, so I'm going to hide. ”

“Wait. We're not done yet, are we? ”

“There's nothing good about him seeing me. Maybe the wound will get worse. ”

“... That's too bad. ”

“If you have any questions, ask your father yourself. If you solve the third disaster, you'll get to meet your father. ”

“Is that so?"

Desport said the same thing.

If we solve the disaster in turn, we will be close to the disaster.

“It won't be hard. There are two crowns that matter to me anyway, and soon one will be yours. ”

“Empire?”

In Kim Sung-cheol's question, 49 waved lightly.

Denial.

“The last crown won't come in easily. It could be the biggest obstacle. because the person who wore the crown was the person you saw as your greatest threat. until you emerge on the front. ”

“ ……. ”

At that time, Bertelkia turns around again.

“Ugh... What are you talking about? ”

Bertelkia is about to wake up.

Kim Sung-cheol felt unrivaled joy, but gazed at number 49 until the end.

“Be careful. Because the situation you're in is not so pleasant. I'm here to help, but there's going to be a lot more situations where I can't. ”

49 nodded to Kim Sung-cheol.

Gradually, the body of number 49 began to fade.

Seeing it, Sung-cheol Kim found that the power of number 49 was similar to what he had seen before.

This is some kind of... ability? ’

A faint murmur came from the disappearing 49.

“… poor salmon. ”

49 was looking at Bertelkia.

Kim Sung-cheol bowed his head and looked at Bertelkia.

“Ugh... You're back from the dead! ”

The revitalized Bertelgia jumped into Kim Sung-cheol's pocket, speaking in a voice as bright as ever.

“It's a little cold. ”

Bertelgia is resurrected.

However, Kim Sung-cheol couldn't be happy.

In half the joy, Kim Sung-cheol looked at another Bertella who had been prominent in the center of the cockpit since earlier.

‘What the hell have you made? ’

There is no one here to answer that question.

Kim Sung-cheol will have to meet him in person to know the answer.

A foolish alchemist by the name of Ekhart, who claims to be replacing God.

There was one more reason to resolve the disaster.
