The Origin of Species

A discreetly glowing door. I've always seen it every time I moved, but I felt sorry when I thought this was the ninth floor. When trust with the clan members was building in the early days, when they were earning money to try to save their brother. And when my powers were growing unparalleled. All those days seem to exist for today.

“Lord, may I open it? ”

“Well, you don't have to hesitate anymore. ”

“Phew. I can't help but get nervous. ”

She pulls the sun-shaped key out of her arms. Tutu Tuk. A salt ratio that strikes the surface of a key strongly. A quiet place to focus on the sound. Eyes focused on one place made Iran's hands move slowly.

A flock of light getting bigger. The light that opens to the left and to the right suggests that the door is opening Cederesis.

I always feel happy when I taste the fruits of my efforts. I feel like I've solved one of the hardest problems, even though everything hasn't been perfect yet.

“Sir, it's open. ”

“How are you feeling? ”

“I think I'm going to lose. ”

If it's a sailor, then it's done. There's no danger in my gut. We took a quick walk through the glowing door.

“Is this Cenderosis? ”

The first thing you see is a geometrically perforated wall. And a lot of light streams are coming in through there. Then hope ran toward the beam of light.

“Heehee! Outside! Outside!”

“Huh? Really? Outside? ”

Shinwoo's brother also leaps behind hope towards the hole in the wall where the light comes in. Then Fort naturally chased after him.

Three buttocks in a row.

Together, they looked out of the hole and were silent.

“Do you think he's already on Earth? ”

“No way.”

“But the light · · · ·. ”

“Sohee. Well, it's daytime outside. This must be the top of the tower. Why don't I take in the view? ”

A space called Cenderosis. The space itself was not that big. A hundred square feet of stone chamber. I also looked at the outside world through a hole.

“Ah.”

As soon as I looked outside, I could see why the horses were gone. This place was really tall. It's like looking down at the ground from a plane floating in the sky. And most surprisingly, we learned about the existence of the gray sky that we had seen so bored.

“Sir, is that a fluorescent light? ”

“Yes, Prosecutor Kim, I think so. Hmm, it doesn't look like a normal fluorescent light. Anyway, I never thought the sky would be all fluorescent. Look at the dust there. I don't think I'll fall even if the water dries up. So the sky was black every day. ”

Water is leaking from the fluorescent lights. That's what we thought was raindrops. Surin checks there and takes his eyes off the hole. And look up at the ceiling of the rainy tower. What is it? I raised my head, too.

Abyssal. The dark tide of the night. The ceiling of the tower is darkened. And in the center of Cederesis, there was an altar that went up to the ceiling. Lindsey grabbed the edge of my clothes and said,

“Sir, don't you think the ceiling swells like a water balloon? ”

“I know. I feel a little saggy. ”

Somewhat different from what I expected Wherever I look, I see no other way out. Shin Woo's brother took his eyes off the hole and looked around and took off his hat.

“Clan, where the hell is the door to Earth? The only thing suspicious is that altar. ”

“So do I, Shinwoo. If there's an exit, there's only that altar. ”

“Sir, I don't feel dangerous. Shall I go up?”

I shaken my head at the question on the stern.

“No, I'm going up. ”

A soft hand holding me then.

“Beware, my lord. ”

“Don't worry. ”

Faye also told me.

“Look out, brother! ”

I nod and walk toward the altar. With the altar one step closer, the beating of his heart became quicker. An altar that looks like a small pyramid. I slowly climbed to the top, stepping on the angled rock.

Soon, another ceiling.

Nothing has changed, but naturally, my hands were headed for the rainy ceiling.

‘Ahh · · ·. ’

First it's cold, then it's soft.

I pierced the ceiling with my hands and realized it was made of a transparent membrane. And salt water is flowing through the membrane. Then, does it mean that the Above the Heavens is the Deep Sea? At that moment, my head became complicated.

Is this your way back to Earth?

With the immense water pressure and depth of the shield, it might be possible. But what about those without shields? Besides, there's a bigger problem.

When we remove the membrane of the ceiling to go back to Earth, what will happen to the world? It still rains like this, but if there's no membrane, won't the world soon be submerged? Then everyone without a shield dies. Even Bonaparte who is not here will be in danger.

Is that why Cenderosis is here, the spark of conscience?

I want goals and the lives of countless people.

However, this world was already doomed to destruction. If I don't remove this membrane, everything in the underworld will die anyway. But do I need to join the ranks? The decision is made. But first, I need to speak with the clan members. Of course, I want to talk to Rey, including Dion.

I came down from the altar and told the clans. Then the front sat on the floor.

“Oh, fuck, fuck. It's really hard to last. ”

“Clan leader, I agree with you on this one. Whew, the pain. Pain. So we have to give up tens of millions to get back to Earth, right? And swimming? Really.”

Pays frowned and said.

“Oh, is this really a conscience? I can't believe people are going to be heads. But you can't just die like us. Anyway, I think I can make it big enough to get the shields up and running. ”

Lindsey pressed her nose with her eyes wide open.

“Sir, I have to live with myself. I'm not alone anymore. ”

In her words, all the females bit their lips. But not everyone agreed.

“Bonaparte, then. My husband!”

Le Cheddar. The Bonaparte's story leaves the clans with no choice but to remain silent. Surin wedges his fingernails.

“Oh, Bonaparte, where the hell are you doing? Sir, can we wait a little longer? I think there's still time. And I need to figure out what to tell Dion and Ray. So is the homecoming guild and Natsin. Oh, it's complicated. Harder than convicting a bunch of mobsters. ”

It's hard. It's a matter of losing to them after all.

Is there any way? A way to save them.

Then I suddenly remembered our power. At the same time, space isolation.

If the membrane is destroyed, sea water will pour down. But maybe it can be stopped by my powers. And what if the man with the spatial isolation empowers it, Pei leads it, and Shinwoo adjusts the direction of the currents? There are other ways. Sohee goes up to the deep sea first. And if we summon people from the ground?

Surin clans applauds as he shows them the way.

“Sam, that's a good second. There are two places Sohee can designate, so we should summon everyone in front of the tower first. Then we space this place again, and Sohee goes to ground first, and then we summon everyone. Bonapas will surely come to the Battery when the Apocalypse comes. Sohee can wait until then and then move to Bonaparte. ”

“Oh! Good way. ”

“Hahaha. What a clan. Look, anything pops out. I didn't want to give you a headache. ”

The question is, how long can I stop the water from spilling? We'll have to last that long to save tens of millions of people.

“Clan, what are you so worried about? You're not going to stop the water by yourself, are you? Uh-huh. I'm here. Me! Let's do it alternately. ”

“I'll help you. Sir, if you change my condition, I'll be fine. ”

We made a plan and informed Dion and Ray of it. I told Khan, of course. But even then, I didn't realize. Why Atlanta didn't try to penetrate Cederesis. Why I gave up my keys so easily.

The plans we completed were swift. And the first wave to go up to the ground was the sailors, including Sohee, Fei, and Surin. The sailors should be able to navigate the road, and Surin and Fei should be able to resolve any urgent situation.

It's finally time to remove the membrane from the ceiling.

I grabbed the membrane with both hands at the mill.

Strength that slowly enters your hands.

Weeping membranes are still tough. However, it is soon torn apart by my power.

Gross.

At that moment, I felt a huge pressure. Sea water about to fall like a waterfall. I tried to express my power to stop it.

That's when the defect occurred.

The sea has stopped. No, the world has stopped.

I've seen it one day.

This is what it was like in the Great Depression. And then I heard voices.

[Kid, is this your choice too?]

Yeah, like right now.

Dust mixed with the wind and raindrops falling are still floating in the air. Quiet meetings. I replied to her who still couldn't show herself.

“Yes, it's my choice. ”

[Yes, they are precious enough for you to shed blood.]]

“Of course there's a difference. Who doesn't know? We save it together. ”

[Hehe. That's it. The future will survive just by coming here.]

“What do you mean? Is that it?"

[You won't need me to tell you. So we don't need to know yet.]

I didn't tell her the truth, but I felt proud of her voice for some reason. And sadness at the same time.

[Kid, I'm always sorry I haven't been there for you.]

“That's okay. I've met a lot of people, haven't I? ”

[I'm so sorry I can't be with you anymore.]

“Yes? What are you talking about? Is that it?"

[Kid, I've done everything I can. Maybe this is the last conversation we're gonna have here.]

It was like a clear wall. Now that I've met you, I'll have to part with you forever.

“Where the hell are you? Mother.”

My voice trembled. The emit I met many times at the end of my life. Why didn't he recognize it then? She was actually trying so hard for me. That she was my mother.

“I'll give you your time back. You can live again. So let me see you. ”

[Chuckles, Mother. I've been waiting for this moment since the past. To hear that.]

“Stop talking nonsense and come quickly. What the hell are you doing? ”

It was then.

What I saw in front of me was a faint image of her. Her appearance was harsh. It dried up as if all the blood was drained from my body, and there was no blood on my skin.

“What's wrong with your body? Why did you do that? ”

“This is why I didn't want to show you. Child, this is my choice. You don't have to blame yourself. ”

“Why haven't you turned back your time? Why?”

She looked at me with a smile.

“It was necessary. You know that, don't you? This is the world where my powers are used the most. ”

Did you share your blood with the Ancients? Was there so much blood then? So fast blood cell production time won't recover?

“I know your question. But I had a problem with my body before that. Like a broken clock. Who do you think your father is, boy? ”

Dad? Dad?

The mural said that the woman who knew everything did not have sex. And it turned out to be true because of what Emit said.

“Son, you don't have a father. You're that special. At the same time, the world hates him. That's why the world is trying to erase you somehow. I couldn't help but notice. Because you're my child. ”

“What do you want to talk about? ”

“The futility. The emptiness planted in you. And suicidal, like a virus, that constantly bullies you. Hehe, but now you can rest assured. Yonker, we're here. Do you know that it was a miracle for me that you tried to survive? ”

I wanted to say I didn't know. But I compare the past in my dreams with the present. Definitely changed I hugged Emit tightly.

“Thank you for raising me like this. For making so many parents. It makes a lot of connections. ”

“Hehe. I hope you like it. In the distant future, you will realize that one day. Why did I have to do this? Maybe that's when the sun covers the whole sky. ”

Another weird sound.

“What are you talking about? Is that it?"

Emit continues the conversation with a quick voice to make sure there's no time.

“Hehe, that's far from over, so let's focus on what we're doing right now. Now that you know how the world was made, let me explain how you got here. This is a very important story for your future as well. ”

I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but I couldn't. Now you have to listen to what she says. Her expression was that desperate.

“I made a deal with the public garden, Gaia, a long time ago. To make what I want in return for saving her life. ”

Is the artificial intelligence's name Gaia?

* Oops, thanks for 100 vouchers!!

* I think the next one will be the last two... I was going to finish this one, but it's hard.

* I organized the content of the mural in the main setting of the work by extracting the text from layer 1 to layer 9. For those of you who don't remember,

- Tobiumbi. - Yes. Maybe I could have used it better. Actually, he has tremendous stamina. Along with his work... and his writing... he was 100 bucks tall... but he's always doing his best since it's his first work. T

I clicked on it/The mural was organized and posted in the main settings of the work. I don't know if I can see it on my mobile.

Mr. Ischtyr, if you look at the next part of the picture, I think it will be cleaned up. If you still don't understand, please leave a question and we'll make some edits to it.

* Thank you all for your comments. In fact, we have to be really involved today, and we're living on a single life without stockpiling. When I get home from work, I write, sleep, go to work, and this is an endless loop... Blah blah blah blah

I think you'll be nervous every day because of me... always writing just before the deadline...
