Main Character Hides His Strength

115. Stairs of God (1)

Kim Sung-cheol couldn't explain why he went to the stairs of God himself.

There was no other reason.

I just felt vague about going there.

The steps to God lie outside the borders of the Ancient Kingdom, amidst the jagged statues of Tai San.

In the baron, Kim Sung-cheol scouted the God's stairwell. There were no signs of life.

Immediately after Ekhart's death, the fall of the world was accelerating.

In the middle of the night, when the snowstorm was rolling, the sun was throwing fierce sunlight to scorch the ground, and a group of unknown insects flew from east to east in droves on the soil.

The needle of the compass moved freely, and the forest and trees withered in the heat and cold weather.

The witches and beasts killed each other or ate each other, and the humans disappeared in hellish chaos.

Volcanoes from all over the continent that bless the death of all things sprayed fire and scattered black fallout that did not fall behind the yellow fallout.

The destruction of the world has been confirmed.

Nevertheless, the absence of a new manager was a single mirror showing how rotten this world was that was made by order.

There were many acquaintances, but no one tried to sacrifice themselves.

Those who had been playing God for a long time knew it. What it means to be a manager.

They did not even think about sacrificing themselves, even though the world was about to perish.

The curtain of order sometimes echoes like thunder, enveloping heaven and earth, but the new manager never appears.

Kim Sung-cheol waited a week in front of the stairs of God.

On the day of the week, the baron died.

I tried to survive in a crazy world, but I couldn't endure any more in the unfamiliar magnetic fields, the weather, and the widespread fallout.

Kim Sung-cheol carefully buried the baron who remained by his side until the end and placed a small stone on the tomb.

“Can we stay here? ”

Someone talks to you from behind.

Now she is the last human being left beside Kim Sung-cheol.

She asked Sung-cheol Kim to go somewhere else several times because she was obsessed with the world that was destroying her day differently.

“We have to be here. ”

But Kim Sung-cheol was a floating point.

He firmly believed that the end of everything would begin here.

No one who knew Kim Sung-cheol's stubbornness sighed and no longer talked about it.

She sits on the floor instead, chewing the dry matter out and thinking about something.

After a while, Kim Sung-cheol looked at her and asked.

“Is this how the world ended for you? ”

Someone chewing the dry matter from the well chews the dry matter out of his mouth and shakes his head.

“It's not the same shape as now. Completely.”

Seeing the blazing flames of volcanoes from afar, one's eyes was returning to a landscape of some point in the past and in some sense the future.

There was no climate change as drastic as it is now, no land on fire.

There was a Black Giant, and there was only Black Ground covered by the skeletons he left behind.

One day, when I looked down at the top of the mountain, someone saw that half the world had turned into a black earth with white bones.

“… there was only you. The world didn't collapse. ”

“Is that so? Maybe it's not doomed." ”

“That's not it. Instead of destroying the world in the future, you were literally destroying everything. People, buildings, the order of the world. ”

“The order of the world. ”

“I heard that time doesn't last in the space you passed. ”

“Were there gods like order and neutrality there? ”

Maybe he wasn't looking over his shoulder.

Their world is falling apart.

In this regard, someone raised his head and looked at Sung-cheol Kim and shook his head firmly.

“I've never seen anything like it. Not even an enemy in the world. So at that time, I knew that God existed only in legend. ”

“... Are they all dead? ”

“I don't believe so. Probably alive. ”

From a distance, you hear the voice of thunder and order.

A majestic gesture and a blurry voice dug into my ears.

[Why is there no one?! Why doesn't anyone want to be a role model? Are you sure it's okay for the world to end?]

After the voice of order passes, someone grips the black soil on the floor and smiles bloody.

“Now that I think about it, maybe they're hiding. Avoiding you turning into a black giant. ”

“... Maybe. ”

The more you use the Black Giant's power, the more you feel.

It destroys everything.

By using only a tiny fraction of the power of the Black Giant, Kim Sung-cheol defeated Ko, one of the gifts given to him.

What an orderly bunch.

He may not seem like much more than a normal human being to him who turned into a Black Giant.

“It's strange. ”

Someone mutters in the snow of the burning earth.

“The world is coming to an end even if you don't turn into a black giant. ”

“ ……. ”

A sigh of helplessness comes from the mouth of a man.

She turned her head and looked at Kim Sung-cheol.

A cheerful voice came out.

“You know that regrets can't change history, right? ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head and looked at someone's eyes. When I first met him, my eyes were still alive, but I remembered the stains of the cloudy meeting.

Kim Sung-cheol slightly closed his eyes and nodded.

“It's a well-known story. To the so-called humans of the upper class. ”

“I never heard that before I came back. I believed I could change history if I could just return naively. The rest of humanity squeezes everything out, as long as it has the strength left me. ”

“Oh.”

I was interested.

In fact, I've been interested since before.

About a past where no one has ever lived.

However, Sung-cheol Kim has never asked for it.

The future seen by the regretter is not repeated.

It's because of Kim Sung-cheol's long-standing thoughts about regrets.

However, I felt it was okay to hear her story a little now that doom is upon us and there is no end to waiting.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth with a bold tone and meaningless doodling on the floor with a dry branch.

“Who sent you into this world? ”

The dog turns its head back.

I saw the sky.

The sky turned black with volcanic ash.

The barren sky, which cannot be found by a star, is in my eyes, and someone answers in a low voice.

“My Lady.”

“Bride?”

Kim Sung-cheol's speech slightly increased.

Then someone looks at him, smiling and shaking his head.

“Not the witch. I've never seen that witch before. ”

“Adele White can change who she is. By robbing other people's bodies. ”

“I know you have that ability, but the bride I saw was a completely different person than her. I can guarantee you one thing. ”

“... who was he? ”

Although the misunderstanding was not completely solved, Kim Sung-cheol put the matter into his heart and advanced the story.

Someone looks back.

There seems to be nothing there, but there is definitely room 49.

One of them looked at the issue 49 and opened his mouth again, turning his head forward.

“I don't know. I only met the bride for a short time. But I've been feeling a little out of place lately. ”

“What's the occasion? ”

“I've seen people who look alike. ”

“Does he look like you? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, someone nodded and replied with a bold voice.

“in your dreams. ”

“ ……. ”

I couldn't believe it.

There were only three who had faces in his dreams. Kim Sung-cheol, a dog, and Bertelkia.

One of them said a short word as if he had read Kim Sung-cheol's thoughts.

“Yes, it was a girl who looked just like Bertelgia. Of course, only in my dreams. ”

“No way. ”

“But we don't know if she's the same person as Bertelgia. The bride has a more mature atmosphere than Bertelgia. It was a faint memory, but it felt like I was two or three years older. ”

Saying so, someone looks back.

You want 49 to say something.

49 has revealed itself.

Kim Sung-cheol also looked at her.

“… I have nothing to say about that. ”

Kim Sung-cheol had a feeling that 49 would not talk about it.

It was her heart that Eckhart disappeared along with the commandments that imprisoned her, but she refused to speak.

Kim Sung-cheol considered respecting Bertelkia as well as 49.

He didn't ask anymore.

Instead, he felt a faint sense of compassion conveyed from within.

It's not Kim Sung-cheol's feelings.

A wavelength felt from the Black Giant who stands deep inside him.

Every time I saw Issue 49, every time I talked to her, the Black Giant used to give me that feeling.

‘Is there something. Between the Black Giant and the 49th. ’

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly wondered.

What triggered you to become the Black Giant?

Of course, this world is thousands, not tens of thousands, of reasons why he would turn into a black giant rather than be left human.

But there must be something special about it.

Kim Sung-cheol asked someone, drawing in his head the person he was waiting for.

“What role did the Chromeguard play in your future? ”

“There are few known facts about him. other than the fact that he was just a great man and he was trying to revive the world. ”

“What happened to him? ”

“It's true that the Black Giant was captured and killed. But I'm sure it is. Black Giants don't miss their prey. ”

“I see.”

The end is futile.

But there will also be no definite end.

Kim Sung-cheol, who knows the power of the Black Giant better than anyone, thought that the death of Chromgold was certain in some future.

Even so, it is a senseless death.

Kim Sung-cheol was confronted with Chromium Guard and felt like there was some kind of invisible blessing following him.

It resembles the high fortune of the overlapping lions several times when fighting the lions, but I couldn't erase the feeling that their superior power rests on the Chromgard.

Isn't that what he's been through?

I met Adele White in the mortal man who was destined to die, and I gained her heart, and I gained the power to rise from disaster, and luckily, I gained the position of the six instead, and I gained another power and information from him.

When I met Sung-cheol Kim, he had to die.

That's right, but so much luck followed him and Kim Sung-cheol eventually missed him. In the process, another principal, order and neutrality appeared and hampered it.

There is more than one or two suspicions about just being lucky.

It's hard to imagine how many times you'll be lucky enough to use your prestige as the ruler of this world.

"That's odd. In any future, why did Chromgard die so easily? ’

Suddenly, I felt a black giant looking at me inside Kim Sung-cheol.

My heart was pounding.

There was a slight wavelength of power that could not be covered in the aftermath of the heartbeat.

At that moment, Kim Sung-cheol reached a conclusion.

‘Maybe it's the power of the Black Giant. ’

The Black Giant's power destroys everything.

Excellent ability, multiple powers, luck, or even destiny.

I wonder how much he was thinking.

Someone who was sitting next to Sung-cheol Kim woke up.

She robs herself of clothes covered in black fallout.

“Whatever the reason, the world is coming to an end. ”

You hear a helpless voice with the cloudy dust.

“… the regretter can't change the future. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked up at someone like that and jumped up.

A stiff hand, trained in a long battle, rests on her shoulders.

Kim Sung-cheol said.

“I will not let this world perish. ”

Looking at the perishing world, Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone as always, with the giant of destruction looking at himself inside.

Everything in the world is singing destruction, but he is not shaken.
