Soul Eater of the Rebellion

... There once was a country called the Golden Empire (Imperium).

It is the name of a giant nation that has added to its territory until the end of the rim, and the light of prosperity, coloured with gold and silver, is said to have illuminated the earth.

Until then, the source of the power of the Empire, which dominated the mountains, the seabed, the underground, and even the sky, which was beyond the reach of humans, was the infinite magical power that ran through the earth -- that is, the dragon vein. The Golden Empire (Imperium) possessed the technology of extracting the power of the Dragon Vein (Chuchuzu) and making it a crystal.

Later generations, this crystal, which will be called the stone of the wise man, has a high-purity magic power that can support the life of a million cities with one chunk of fist. The Golden Empire (Imperium) continued to mass-produce it in thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, and built a world empire like no other in history.

A land of miracles that continues to produce infinite amounts of magic power.

Those who lived in the Golden Empire (Imperium) believed that the glory and prosperity of the Empire would last forever.

Even though there can't be such a dream story.

Even though it looked infinite in the eyes of humans, there were limits to the power of the Dragon Vein. If you exploit it beyond its limits, it is self-evident that the power of the Dragon Vein will be depleted. It was also clear that if the amount of extraction was increased to reduce the deficiency, it would eventually lead to depletion.

The power of the Dragon Vein is the power of the earth itself. When its power is exhausted, the earth becomes a wilderness where no single grass grows. Life is lost, and the desert of death, where no life has been born for decades or centuries, covers the horizon.

As the spirits dwell in the trees of the mountains, so do the spirits dwell in the winds of the earth, so do the spirits dwell in the earth. The Earth Spirit (Gnome) is fundamentally different from the Earth Spirit, and can also be called the world itself - the Star Spirit.

However, the stellar spirit is too different from the standard of existence, and it is impossible to see it as the same as other spirits. No matter how skilled the Spirit user is, he cannot use the Spirit of the Star. Only a handful of really talented spirit users could barely hear their voices.

In any case, the spirits of the stars did exist, and I hoped that they would continue to exist.

That's why I issued a warning to the humans who continue to steal the power of the Dragon Vein. Sometimes you have to speak up. Sometimes I shake my body.

Once the power of the Dragon Vein is exhausted, even those living on Earth will die. If they knew that, humans would stop exploiting themselves as suicides.

But the expectation of not making that speculation is betrayed.

I did not miss the warning. And some of the spirits did indeed hear the voice of the spirits of the stars, and did preach it unto the people. At the same time, few people claimed that frequent natural disasters were the result of excessive collection of dragon veins.

But that didn't stop the exploitation. It might be more accurate to say that it could not be stopped.

Already, life on earth was made up of the power of the Dragon Vein, and letting go of the power of the Dragon Vein was synonymous with renunciation of civilization. Few could let go of their present life, that they might not know whether or not to come.

At this moment, the spirits of the stars became parasites for mankind. A foolish dead bug that devours and kills the host without complacency of desire, and consequently dies of its own selves.

--When such a bug eats into its own body, what kind of hesitation is there to remove it?

"--Gu!?"

The moment the Pope points to a being called a dragon, strange knowledge suddenly floods his mind.

Occasionally, I was flirting with the past scenes shown by soul eaters, and the turbulence of information that strengthened them tenfold, and I could unexpectedly hear a distressed voice.

When I remembered how horrible it was, I held my mouth with my hand.

"What, what was that...?"

As he grumbled, the Pope, who had been staring at me until then, replied quietly.

"The reason why the Star Spirit fell." The reason why the dragon hated people. And this is the reason why the Hikaru Divine Religion came to worship the seeds of illusion. Fantasy seeds do not attack people for no reason. Fantasy seeds are the product of sin, born of human arrogance and unfaithfulness, and defying fantasy seeds is nothing short of sinful. ”

"...... mu"

When I hear those words, I tie my lips.

It was not that I could understand the idea of the Light God Church or the Pope. Not to mention the fact that I didn't agree. However, I felt that if everything that was just a glimpse had happened in reality, I would have no choice but to hate people.

Maybe that's what I did to countless maggots at the King's Nest. It's only natural that you decide to slap and kill every maggot you've ever seen.

In that sense, I didn't feel any anger towards the Star Spirit-Dragon.

--Well, that's why I'm not willing to be killed as a dragon and a fantasy species. Even if it is deserved that a man from the Golden Empire (Imperium) who has crossed the Dragon Vein will be killed, it is not related to the man who lives now.

When I said so, the Pope nodded pathetically somewhere.

Indeed, there is sin, and there is punishment, and there is forgiveness. If the guilty Golden Empire (Imperium) had been punished, they would have been pardoned. But in reality, that was not the case. The Golden Empire (Imperium) fought its way through fantasy seeds, and hence to defeat dragons. And unfortunately, it was the Golden Empire (Imperium) that won. ”

Originally, the Golden Empire (Imperium) would not have won, the Pope said. The army of the Golden Empire (Imperium) had a pile of ancient weaponry built using the power of the Dragon Vein, but it was a borrowed force.

It could not be compared to dragons and fantasy species that truly embodied the power of the Dragon Vein. In fact, the army of the Golden Empire (Imperium) was only able to stop the attacking fantasy species a little, and the result of victory and defeat was obvious to everyone.

Nevertheless, the Golden Empire (Imperium) eventually won because some fantasy species defected from the dragon to the human side - and the Pope's gaze was terrifyingly cold.

"Some -- no, very simply, just one fantasy species turned everything upside down." I don't know why the fantasy species rebelled against the Mother Dragon. I don't even want to know. But the facts are true. The fantasy species slaughtered many of its compatriots and eventually defeated dragons in exchange for themselves. Only the people of the Golden Empire (Imperium) remained. ”

However, the Golden Empire (Imperium), which suffered so much in this battle, no longer has the power of the past, and it was impossible to maintain the regime. In that sense, it could be said that it was a match.

After placing a seal on the dragon hole worn on the earth, the Golden Empire (Imperium) was dismantled to melt, and the name of the Golden Empire was never revealed in history.

It seemed like it was all over - but there was still the earth to be called the main body of the Star Spirit. The rage against the dead bugs that nested in her was not exhausted.

Besides, under the applied seal, hostility towards humans boils, burns, and curses are all increased.

When the fiery flame overtook the sealing effect and overflowed from the dragon hole, the 700 years had passed on the ground.....
