Main Character Hides His Strength

In the name of a stranger.

Kim Sung-cheol was following a strange combination of alchemical ingredients.

There was nothing inside the quiet control room except the sound of a heavy breathing and the sound of Kim Sung-cheol working.

But everyone knows that.

Outside the ghetto is a storm that blows everything away, engulfing the fall of death.

The clock of destruction, which stopped for a moment, began to move quickly again.

Every time the world shakes once, everyone hears Enquiados's cry.

[I can't take it anymore! We're running out of time! Hurry!]

Kim Sung-cheol didn't waver a bit even for the term of order.

Rather, he did what he had to do more precisely.

After a long wait, I was ready to take the final test.

Kim Sung-cheol looked up at Bertelkia.

Bertelkia waves toward him.

The final test has begun in silence.

Softness was not difficult.

Soon after stirring the spatula, Kim Sung-cheol made another stone.

Kim Sung-cheol's turn is over.

Next up is Bertelgia.

There is a faint glow on Bertelgia's body.

She focused all her mind and tried to fulfill her mission.

However, a physical barrier came between him.

The wounds left by assassin Kaz Almeira caused her great pain and a life-threatening crisis.

“Ah…. ”

A short but painful groan comes out.

Kim Sung-cheol swallowed a saliva.

I wanted to take over Bertelgia's pain if I could.

But now he's a bystander.

This fight is the battle of Bertelgia.

A few minutes later, the radiance on Bertelgia's body fades.

Bertelkia takes a step back, unable to overcome his own henchman.

“Give me a break. ”

Vertelgia remains motionless on the floor and dies.

49 gazed back at Bertelgia like that.

The silence once again fills the cockpit.

Nervous times have passed.

Enciadus has sent a distress signal several times that we must hurry.

Bertelkia struggled to move her body and challenged her to a final test again.

However, it is not enough this time.

Bertelkia does her best, but eventually she feels powerless and settles down.

“I'm so, so sorry. ”

Kim Sung-cheol found attributes not found in Bertelkia.

It is a commitment.

It's unimaginable.

That bright, cheerful, yet planted Bertelgia gave up.

Kim Sung-cheol was deeply troubled and found a way to cheer up Bertelgia.

Nothing comes to mind.

The problem with Vertelgia is not the mental, it's the physical.

Adopting an impossible area is sadism, not cheering.

A deep wrinkle was engraved on Kim Sung-cheol's eyebrows.

I wonder how much time has passed.

You hear a rustling sound.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a reflex and opened his eyes.

You hear a strange girl's voice in the corner of the cockpit.

“You can't because it's fake. ”

A familiar but malicious voice.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the corner of the cockpit.

It was another Vertelgia.

A child with the number 55.

But her condition is unusual.

55 suffered considerable damage compared to Bertelkia.

In the Maelstrom of Doom, more than half of her bookshelves are smashed and more than half of them are torn apart.

“How can cheap produce save the world? ”

55 was pouring out sharp words to Bertelgia.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes filled with the energy of anger.

55 saw Kim Sung-cheol like that and talked nonstop.

“Kill it. It's a doomed world anyway. The world's been ruined since your father died. We're screwed!”

The 55th rushes towards Bertelkia screaming.

But before she even got to Bertelkia, another book struck 55 in the back.

49.

“Quiet. Tasty.”

The 55 that was hit by the 49th fell to its knees and did not move.

49 approached Kim Sung-cheol who was furious and defended his brother.

“Just look at me. I just lost my father, so I'm a little out of it. He may have a bad personality, but he's not a very bad kid. ”

“ ……. ”

49 said so, Kim Sung-cheol did not take any special action.

Only thing he cares about is Bertelgia.

But Bertelgia's reaction is strange.

I heard a little tingling.

Kim Sung-cheol noticed the sound coming from Bertelkia.

“Bertelkia.”

He grabs Bertelkia with both hands.

Vertelgia's body is trembling thinly.

“... I don't think I can either. ”

She was crying.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.

Kim Sung-cheol was obsessed with wanting to do something.

What to do. What can I do?

But he soon encountered a sense of helplessness.

After all, there's nothing he can do about it now.

He breaks.

It's not in his nature to make things.

But will you give up like this?

“I guess I'm fake, too. ”

Bertelkia mutters in a self-sufficient tone.

This is bad.

Despair is overwhelming her.

The willingness of Bertelgia to know his miserable truths and not shake him will eventually be severed.

Strong things break.

At this rate, Bertelgia will die without conducting a final test.

We have to do something.

Suddenly, I noticed the hole in Bertelgia in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

A nasty wound I want to erase.

It was the area where Kim Sung-cheol didn't look at the wound that he didn't want to see more because he couldn't replenish it with his strength.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the wound with a different heart.

Soon I remembered something in his brain.

“Perfect timing. ”

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth.

Vertelgia feels something and shivers lightly.

“What?”

Kim Sung-cheol opened his coat.

The proud diamond brooch shines and glows.

Kim Sung-cheol untied his brooch and put it inside Bertelgia's wound.

The wound from the assassin's knife was surprisingly fitting with the chef's brooch that Kim Sung-cheol boasted.

The radiance of the sparkling diamond brooch shines from the wounds of Vertelgia.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at it and gently lifted up Bertelkia.

“Fake. Nonsense. You are the genuine authenticity I guarantee. ”

“Authenticity? What is that? ”

“The original, or the one and only Bertelgia. ”

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at the brooch he had placed on Bertelkia with warm eyes.

“Here, you have the token. ”

Vertelgia's body shakes lightly.

Kim Sung-cheol's sense of transcendence responded.

Bertelkia's color and unwavering will are returning.

“I'll try again. ”

Vertelgia flies up the shelf, forcefully fluttering. Kim Sung-cheol's token on her body glowed brightly.

The test has started again.

Vertelgia's body is covered with a subtle glow.

Challenge number three.

It won't be easy.

Kim Sung-cheol did not say anything, but just watched Bertelgia's test with warm eyes.

Vertelgia suddenly shakes and spits out a painful groan.

But unlike before, her will has not been broken.

The subtle glow becomes brighter and begins to illuminate within the dark cockpit.

It's over.

Her own limits.

Kim Sung-cheol saw the bright strings covering his eyes and finally realized what Bertelkia had done.

The last stone is complete.

The eight stones floated into the sky and rotated in the sky as if they were dancers, and then disappeared in the glow of the upper light.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the last letter, feeling overwhelmed with emotion at the bottom of his emotion.

[You created 8 Alchemist Stones to prove your creator's credentials.]

[I, Ekhart, wish to open the way of the Creator to you.]]

Another text appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

[Do you want to open the Creator's Gate?]

We don't know what lies beyond.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia beyond the text.

“Bertelgia. You are Bertelgia, no matter what anyone says. ”

When Bertelkia hears that, she moves lightly.

“Yes! Of course not! ”

But maybe it was too much power.

She waved from the sky and 49 lifted her up.

Kim Sung-cheol now looked at the door that was open to him.

The last door to the Creator.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at someone.

I have not regained my senses yet, but I have overcome great difficulties.

It won't cost you your life.

“Wait a moment. ”

A bright dimensional door appeared.

Kim Sung-cheol crossed the door, leaving someone behind.

It was a small village with a beautiful view, like a fairy tale, unlike the world that was about to collapse.

“I've seen this town before. ”

In support of the 49th, Bertelgia spoke in a cheerful voice.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his pocket and told Bertelkia.

“Why don't you come in here? ”

Bertelgia shudders over Barabbas.

“No, I think it's better if I just stay here with my sister for now. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

Kim Sung-cheol walked forward with a slightly grim reaction.

In the center of the town where no one lives, there was a small wooden house with a green roof.

Bertelkia looks at the small house and says in a happy voice.

“There! That's our house. ”

Her voice sounds exhausted somewhere. Kim Sung-cheol walked to my house, as Bertelkia said.

Walking along a wall of unknown Borat flowers, Bertelgia, the proponent of No. 49, said in a sleepy voice.

“You know the first thing I want to do when I'm human? ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who was walking ahead, heard the words and answered with a faint smile.

“Tasting my cooking? ”

Normally, you'd be frightened. That's what I'm trying to say.

For some reason, Bertelgia shakes up and down, smiling softly, unlike her.

“... That wouldn't be so bad either. ”

I somehow missed him.

“Come on, open the door. ”

Bertelkia said.

Kim Sung-cheol took a deep breath and placed his hand on the closed door hook.

The end of the journey that I so longed for was near.

But I have something to tell you first.

“Bertelkia.”

There's something I haven't said yet.

An indescribable thank you.

Without her, he wouldn't even be here.

He would have destroyed the world himself without even realizing he was a puppet of the Chaos.

Like that stupid Chromgard.

Kim Sung-cheol cleared his mind and tried to thank Bertelkia.

But Bertelgia's reaction is strange.

Vertelgia does not move.

49 politely addressed Bertelgia without saying anything to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol took Bertelkia in two hands.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes shook sharply.

‘It can't be. ’

I already knew with my body.

But his heart did not accept the truth.

He grabs Bertelkia and shakes her body, calling out her name.

“Bertelgia. Bertelgia! ”

Vertelgia is unresponsive.

No matter how she called out her name, no matter how she waved, she didn't answer.

“This prank is not good for the heart. Bertella, I'm older and more tired than I look. If you think about my health, Bertelgia. Please."

Despite Kim Sung-cheol's earnest plea, Kim Sung-cheol didn't move.

Forty-nine, who was watching him from behind, muttered in a lonely tone.

“... Salmon across the river is going to die. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stood up, holding Bertelkia in both hands.

His eyes still could not accept the truth.

He stands at the door of a small house with a green roof and grabs the door hook.

‘I'll check for myself. ’

Kim Sung-cheol's hand opened the door.

At the moment I opened the door, I could see the familiar landscape in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

This is Eckhart's workshop, which he saw in the manager's world.

The only difference is that there's a blonde girl sitting in that studio instead of Eckhart.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes covered her face.

My heart was pounding violently.

Bertelgia. But not the Bertelgia he knows.

The girl in the house looked the same as Bertelkia in her dreams, but she looked about two to three years old.

Kim Sung-cheol approached her and called her name, feeling like her heart was about to burst.

“Bertelkia?”

The girl in the family looked up at Sung-cheol Kim.

A slight pink smile opened.

“… Yes, I'm Bertelgia. ”

Kim Sung-cheol swallowed a saliva and looked at the girl who introduced herself as Bertelkia.

She frowned at Kim Sung-cheol, who was facing herself excessively, and said a bold but deadly word.

“... But who are you? ”

Tuck.

The Bertelgia in Kim Sung-cheol's hands fell.

Kim Sung-cheol's heart began to collapse in front of the heavy truth.

I can feel the Black Giant looking at me with her eyes wide open.

The impulse of destruction was flowing through the broken heart.

‘This was the end of the journey I was about to take. ’

His body begins to envelop in black flames.

The laughter of the Chaos is heard from afar.

I liked Kim Sung-cheol.

I wanted to destroy everything.

He used to break things.

But he was about to take his last step.

I heard a voice that I thought I would never hear again, longing for the wind.

[What are you doing? Idiot.]

It's the voice of Bertelgia.
