Chapter 506 – Outbound Earth (46)
Right after Do-jin left, Ai was left alone with Eun-ha. Even after Dojin left, the child was trembling in Eunha’s arms for a long time.
After a few hours, the child who realized empirically that Do-jin was not coming back slowly escaped from Eun-ha’s arms. However, it did not show overwhelming growth as before.
Why? There was no need to ask. This is because the child learned the language by listening to the TV or the noise coming from the apartment for a few hours, and was able to speak on his own.
“Mom.”
“… Your pronunciation is good.”
“Don’t call that person. Scared.”
“Do-jin is scary… Do-jin won’t try to harm you first.”
“Huh. So, it stopped growing. Because when I grow up, I will be dead.”
Looking at the child who was fully aware of the circumstances that Do-jin did not tell, she realized that the child’s intelligence was superior to her expectations.
She is a child who ages by one year and two in an instant. She must have a superior intelligence that cannot be compared to anything like a human being.
Then, what is the identity of this child? Eun-ha thought for a moment. Is she an alien? Or are you from another world? If not that, a newborn baby who accidentally awakened a supernatural power?
All those guesses were wrong.
“My mother protects me. Then I will protect her mother too.”
“You’re protecting me… How?”
“I can do anything. Huh. Anything.”
“What is your true identity… ?”
“Your mother is also on top of me right now, right?”
The girl tilted her head as if asking why she pretended not to know. After hearing her child’s words, Eunha tried to understand her meaning for a while, and then a thunderbolt struck her gear.
“No way…”
“Nice to meet you, Mom. —Call it a star.”
The girl was a star.
A pale blue star inhabited by 8 billion people.
Earth.
The cosmic magical power and the unconsciousness of 8 billion people gave life to the earth.
* * *
Eun-ha, who learned her identity, had an in-depth conversation with her. From the question of why and how she was born, to the question of what she wants.
And even the question of whether people who live on Earth are not hated. Hearing the question, Byul tilted her head as if she was puzzled and asked again.
“I hate humans, but I like it. Because you made me.”
“Does it make you?”
“He gave me the name Earth, which had no name, and made me a personality that I didn’t have before. Then, he gave me a body like this.”
For more than 13 billion years, Earth has been just one of many planets in the universe. A pale blue star with no name, no self, no nothing.
But when mankind first appeared, they worshiped the earth first. Gave the earth its godhood. Faith dwindled to almost nothing by the 21st century—but instead they gave Earth a different role.
Mother of all life.
Home of mankind.
Beautiful stars.
That was the reason she was born as a newborn baby who would become her beautiful girl.
“… Why did you suddenly appear in front of me?”
“That’s right, I saw the wisdom that the person who understands and takes care of me the most among all mankind is my mother.”
“I almost died from Do-jin?”
“—That person didn’t even appear in Wisdom. So I didn’t know The fact that there are people like that…”
“You must have been really scared of Do-jin, seeing as she can’t even call her name…”
Eun-ha burst into laughter as she saw Byul-i calling Do-jin that human, that human. How frightened she was of Do-jin in that short period of time, would she be afraid to even call her name?
It’s because Do-jin isn’t Lord Voldemort or Cthulhu, and there’s no way he’ll appear just because he calls his name.
“Then what does our star want to do?”
“You have to do your part.”
“What role?”
“As I said earlier, a beautiful mother who keeps the house.”
“Oh.”
Eunha spat out an exclamation as if she was surprised. Is she a dream housekeeper? Isn’t it like a wise mother and wife that all modern people want?
‘It’s perfect for a space wife.’
Recalling her son who is still in this world, Eun-ha smiled. She says her dream is to be her wife, but she has to help herself.
Whatever she was, she was sure she would be a good mother-in-law. She was a mother-in-law who neither beat nor clamored.
“Star.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“You, be my daughter.”
“Huh… ?”
She said that a mother-in-law who treats her like her daughter is the most popular – she said that while looking at Eun-ha Byul-i, who recalled the information she had seen somewhere.
Even though Byul tilted her head as if she didn’t know what her Eunha was talking about, she nodded her head with a trembling expression.
Without even knowing that it had become the shackles that bound her.
* * *
Haha-! You are the tenth prey!”
A man whose entire body is full of muscles screams and attacks her man, who is about half her own height. The man evaded her man’s attack with agile movements equal to his small size.
Not enough to evade her, she shifted her seat and set her feet into a place where there were police and soldiers.
The fight between the two who obtained the pieces of the foreign press was regarded as a fight between talented people, so a high-capacity automatic strike force was immediately dispatched.
[—Everyone, if you move, I will kill you!]
[Immediately put both his hands above his head and get down on the ground!]
When the riot police saw the muscular man protesting, they immediately used their weapons. A suppressing magic tool for high powers purchased from Fantasia Co. Flies at the man.
At the same time, an intense current flows and begins to paralyze the man’s body. Rurrrr-! Looking at the man with the bubble door at the current flowing through his body, the riot police immediately fired magic tools for trapping.
A magical tool for suppression that binds the joints of the body so that one cannot use force. The muscular man who was hit by the magic tool dislocated his limbs and was suppressed in an instant.
“Turn it off—!?”
[—Put a muzzle on it.]
“Eup-eup-!?”
After subduing the muscular man in an instant, the riot police skillfully tried to transport him into the vehicle. The moment he picked up the man from the side——the man moved his body abruptly.
The force exerted only by muscles in a state where the joints of the whole body are dislocated. It was unlikely that he would be able to generate strong power, but the man immediately tore off the magic tool and sent the riot squad members away as if that feeble power was enough.
Haha-! Is that all!”
[—Kill!]
The moment the order was given by radio, the riot police quickly pulled out their submachine guns and opened fire. Magically enhanced supersonic bullets begin to pierce the muscular man’s body.
But as if the man didn’t even tickle her so much, he inflated her muscles to dig out the bullets in her body. Ahh! It bounced off in all directions.
[Crazy!]
As the bullets spread out in all directions due to the swelling of the muscles, pierced through the body armor and the riot police uniform and lodged in the skin, screams resounded from here and there.
The mobile commander saw this and immediately sent a request for assistance to the headquarters. With the words that an uncontrollable ability is going on a rampage, please fire at least one missile.
However, behind the riot commander, a man in uniform suddenly appeared.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
[—What, this is an area under access control right now-.]
“Don’t be too rigid. You can’t catch that anyway? Even if you help me, it’s a mess.”
The man, who seemed to be in his late thirties, said that and lightly passed the riot police. From that appearance, the riot police commander intuited that the man in uniform was not an ordinary person.
In an instant, the undressed man who arrived in front of the muscular man and the anchovy man scratched his chin and opened his mouth.
“Aren’t you two fighting?”
“What are you again?”
“I’ll wait for you. Do whatever you do.”
“—You crazy bastard, don’t you know how to fight among us?”
“We don’t fight, right?”
The muscular man swung his fist instead of answering. A fist of great force that could literally tear down Mount Tai flew into the air.
Just by looking at the wall of air gathered in front of his fist, he could easily tell how powerful his fist was, and Dohun immediately realized that fighting head-on was foolish.
‘But that’s more fun.’
Avoiding the enemy’s strengths and poking at their weaknesses is only for weaklings. The fun thing is to destroy the enemy’s strength from the front.
When he swings his sword, it shatters with his blade. If you point a gun at it, it pierces through and cuts through the front. If you swing a fist, destroy it with that fist.
You can grow only when you break the strongest thing the other person has.
“—Oops.”
Taishan Tacktian.
Dohun’s sword cut the muscular man’s fist as it was. The man’s fist was shattered as it was, and torn in two.
The muscle mass opened its eyes in disbelief, but the blade had already passed over his arm and aimed at the nape of his neck.
“Sleep—!”
Chow-! The moment the blade that cut his throat goes into the scabbard, a fountain of blood pours out from the nape of the man’s neck.
Dohun, who handled his man, immediately pulled out his tentacles and absorbed the fragments of the evil spirit inside the muscular man. After the absorption was finished, he looked at the anchovy man who was running away and the riot police members gathering around him.
“You will regret it.”
Sweep – Dohun, who wiped the blood from his mouth, looked at the riot police while saying that.
However, the riot squad members pointed their guns at them with an expression that they would never let go.
“If so.”
After a while, Dohun left behind the fallen riot police and pulled out the fragment of the evil god from the anchovy man.
After he left, the place was full of corpses dripping with blood.
