Chapter 1693 – [Dead Universe-1]

The survivors enjoyed Horizon’s various recreational facilities for a while.

Well, considering the size of Horizon, you can’t be too busy even if you enjoy several of them a day. In the first place, water parks, amusement parks, etc. Considering that even if you put 10,000 people in such a facility, they would be dispersed, it would be spacious enough to ride all the attractions without waiting, but even that would have been spread out over multiple facilities instead of just one facility.

However, it is not physical pleasure but mental pleasure. So, there were people who wanted to satisfy their thirst for knowledge.

“The formula for this theory can be written like this to make it easier for you to understand.”

“No, it’s this simple?!”

“Energy efficiency will improve dramatically.”

“It’s easy once you know it, but why didn’t you know it until now? Is this really a change of idea?”

I spent a few days like that and recovered. In fact, the time spent so far was not just a time to be surprised because of the hard work, but a time to recover from mental pollution.

Even if physical injuries are cured, mental and spiritual problems are difficult to treat in a short time, even in dimensional civilization. Fortunately, we had Eden in our Horizon, so it was relatively quick because we recovered it through water purification and spiritual cooking, but even at the Delta Castle hospital, it is quite difficult to treat this quickly.

And when everyone was calming down, David came. He has a resolute expression on his face, as if he is fully prepared and determined.

“I am ready.”

“Okay, come this way. We need to share the coordinates of your true nature and your plans.”

David, who was able to manage our interface while staying here, told us the coordinates of their nature.

The name is Earth, hence the Earth surname. Ultimately, it means land, but most such nouns are similar in the first place.

Anyway, David shares information such as the coordinates of Earth Castle and Just One and explains what we need to know. In fact, there is no need for much else, so the presence or absence of survivors is the most important issue.

“Just One’s mental waves are extraordinary in their range and power. Even if they wear resistance equipment and hide in an underground facility, no survivors can be expected.”

“What about Bodice?”

“There will be an abundance of Vadis at least level 5. There will also be Vadis that have bloomed.”

“Blooming?”

“Because the Level 5 Badis is actually the final stage, it does not just scatter mental waves or actively create Badis. However, it is said that over time, those Level 5 Badis will fuse to form a new Just One. This is called flowering. “

“Where did you get that information? If we had gotten that information, civilization would have been ruined a long time ago in the first place.”

“While searching for other intelligent life forms, I obtained data from other civilizations that had previously been destroyed by Just One, and based on that, I was able to obtain various information. Of course, there were no survivors from that civilization either…”

“How on earth have these bastards gone on?”

There were no survivors in other civilizations? No, what the hell did you do?

Since the issue was not small and had a spiritual problem and was quite big, I decided to seek separate advice from various people.

First, let’s start with Ardolphina. Since he is Aregish, who manages the seat of reincarnation, there is no way he would not know if his soul was transformed and entered reincarnation. Moreover, this is also their agenda.

After contacting me, Ardolphina quickly visited Horizon. She looks brighter than when I saw her before, and I feel like she has grown a bit more as Aregish.

“Oh, what’s going on?”

“It’s nothing else…”

I told her the story of her Just One and Bodies situation. At that, Ardolphina’s smiling face changed to a serious expression.

No matter how close you are, Aregish is Aregish. It is rather strange if public officials are negligent when reports of illegal activities come in right in front of their eyes. She immediately moved to help.

“Regarding soul deterioration? Just a moment. My job is not in this dimension. I’ll ask a question and then come back.”

“Okay.”

It was a while later that Ardolphina returned. However, her expression didn’t seem to be very good news.

After hesitating her words for a moment, she quickly sighed and told me her bad news. In short, although this case involves deterioration of the soul, that does not mean it falls under the jurisdiction of Aregish.

“They say that the deterioration of the soul due to the mental integration of living things is not under our jurisdiction.”

“What?”

“They say I didn’t know because I was still young and had never experienced it… They said that if a life form reaches a higher level, becomes mentally mature, and exists as a colony like a hive mind, it is not something we should touch. It has happened several times before. There was this, and I just ignored it then as well.”

“No, I compared it to a civil servant, but it’s really a civil servant hitting on other departments.”

“It is called coercion, but in the end it is the same as the spiritual union and ascension of the living being. If we interfere just because it is forced, our standards will become ambiguous, and we will have to interfere in a significant number of all matters related to soul deterioration.”

“Write…”

“Instead, I heard that their jurisdiction is the Great Demon King or Bloodier?”

“Huh?”

Then Lulu and I looked at each other at the same time.

On one side is the Great Demon King who presides over civilization, and on the other side is the Bloodier, a dimension species that eats and disposes of various problems in the dimension.

If you think about it, the soul-related issues were more serious, so it was something we had to take action on. Isn’t the reason I originally wanted to destroy Just One ultimately to punish the bastard who advanced civilization as the Great Demon King?

The Great Demon King not only judged civilization, but also dealt with threats to the survival of civilization. Even if there is no evidence, it is clearly an agenda that can be summoned to the Great Demon King at a time when he is protecting the survivors of that civilization.

But not only did I, the Great Demon King, but even Lulu, the Bloodier, hear nothing? It is a situation that can be roughly understood, and the dark side of this incident boils down to one thing.

“I wondered why it ended up like this, and it turned out to be the fault of the absolute being of fate.”

“That’s right.”

It is a transcendental being and a dimensional species, and it is impossible to know everything that happens in the entire dimension. The Great Demon King has a wandering Utopia and Nuri, and even though he is an absolute being, he has the Phantom, who is absolute, and me, the reincarnated person, to somehow cover it up, but Bloodier is different.

They move after receiving a tip from the absolute ruler of fate. The fact that the Bloodiers became a dimensional species through the dimensional civilization’s exploits was also due to the hand of the Absolute Destiny… Oh, so was it relatively easy to form an alliance? How far did she see?

Anyway, now that I know and Lulu knows now, I think I’ll have to do something about it. Just One and I have to go and catch it.

“Oh, by the way…”

“Why? What’s going on?”

“Regarding this dimension, we have classified it as a dimension scheduled for disposal. That means… It has become a place that neither supplies nor emits souls.”

“Huh?”

That word means only one thing.

That there is not a single living thing left that has a soul. No, to be precise, it means that intelligent life has been reduced to the level of extinction to the point where it is impossible.

On Earth alone, 3 people are born and 2 die every second. It meant that three souls were supplied, and two souls were released.

If it were spread out on a universe basis, the number would be enormous. Even more so if there is a war.

The Just One transforms countless souls into themselves and the Badis, turning them into Just Ones like itself… In this way, civilization and living things become extinct, making it difficult for souls to provide food anymore. Since there is nothing left but minus, the result is bound to be obvious.

In fact, the survivors of the From Earth are not simply survivors of the Earth civilization, but rather the few survivors left in this universe.

… This is a fart. Just One, these ten bastards.

“And in this case, after this universe comes to an end and returns to nothingness, Hanon will be dispatched to create a new universe. After that, it will be classified from a discarded dimension to a new dimension.”

“You mean like my mother did?”

“Mr. Shion’s mother said she was Hanon’s former space level manager. Yes, that’s right. She is just like him.”

Just how many dimensional species and transcendental issues are involved in this one issue… And the Absolute of Destiny turned a blind eye to this and made a mess of it.

With so much information and emotions flooding in, I needed some time to cool down. Have a tea time with coffee and refreshments to replenish your sugar intake and clear your head.

“First of all, dealing with Just One is an urgent priority.”

“But he won’t be just one. It would take time and there would be a lot of people to make all intelligent life go extinct in this wide universe. Didn’t you say from the beginning that the Level 5 Badis would bloom and become the new Just One?”

“That’s right.”

“It would take time and energy to deal with all the Just Ones spread out at the universe level, even for an absolute being. Wouldn’t it be better to just destroy the universe as a whole?”

If you think about it, he said ‘we’. Perhaps it means that there are multiple Just Ones, not just a hive mind.

If they were connected, I would be able to wipe them all out with one hit from my chest… But at least the one I saw through Vadis wasn’t connected like that. If that were the case, I would have noticed it a long time ago.

If it is an object and not a colony, then even if I hit it with my chest, it will only catch one person. However, it is not efficient to go around the entire universe and catch all the Just Ones.

“And if it is classified as a plane scheduled for destruction, I think we will have to give up on settling the survivors here. If they die, it will be difficult for new life to be born.”

“Should we find a suitable planet in another dimension and settle there? I guess we should do that.”

The discharge of the soul itself is not the problem, but there is no supply. Of course, just because there is no supply does not mean that life cannot be born, but the probability is greatly reduced.

Rather, it would be much better to establish a foundation in another dimension. No, but because I worry so much, I have a lot of work to do.

First, we decided to plan this and that and talk about the rest with David, who was quietly listening to our story.

“First, let me tell you our plan. As you will know if you have heard from the sidelines, Just One has already spread like a cancer in this universe and has spread to a level where it is difficult to revive. It will take a very long time to catch them all one by one. Probably in 10,000 years. Even if you work hard, it must be hard.”

“Yes, I think that part can’t be helped. But…”

“I understand how you feel. So, first, I will screw the Just One who destroyed your hometown.”

“That’s enough. I’m just thankful that you help us like that even though you have no relation to us.”

“And I’ll promise later.”

They are higher-dimensional beings. So, I hope to reach a higher level of transcendence. It would be obvious since their goal was union, ascension, salvation, etc.

If they knew that there were no more intelligent beings in this universe to absorb, they would definitely gather in one place and become one. That’s probably the ascension they want, and I don’t know what kind of salvation they’ll have after that, but in any case, it’s probably just before they achieve their goal.

If so, it interferes at the worst possible time. If they come together and are easy to catch, and destroy them just as they are about to achieve their goal, and show despair…

“It will be the best revenge.”

David also smiled, feeling the happiness that comes from the destruction of his enemy.

It would be a great revenge to trip and kill the guy who destroyed his hometown and left all his family and friends dead just before he could achieve his longed-for goal.

Anyway, I have a rough plan, so the first thing I have to do is go catch the Just One who destroyed the Earth civilization. David said he would act as a guide, but since his mental defense is weak, he covers that part.

“I will also do my best to prevent my soul from deteriorating.”

“Oh, then I have to make a mental defense amulet or something!!!!”

The level 4 Badis also had quite strong mental waves, but even if he didn’t know the technique, his strength was at the level of a mid-level transcendental person, so there was no way that the mental waves he was spraying would be weak. Even if David’s mental power and will are strong, there are limits, and Eden, a transcendental person, and Ardolphina, his dimensional servant, provide support.

I don’t know about Eden, but I think she can withstand that guy’s mental attacks because she is of a higher rank than him.

So prepare thoroughly. The special forces that will go to capture the Just One of Earth civilization are me, Eden, Lulu, and David. There were four like this.

“Actually, I would like to go with you, but if I intervene in a matter that is not under my jurisdiction, various problems will arise. Instead, I will tell the story to the other compatriots separately.”

“I can’t help it. Thank you anyway.”

Ardolphina can’t help it. Although she is forced to do so, she is asking a public official to help her with something that is not legally problematic. If you interfere, problems will arise.

Instead, there are the Great Demon Lords and Bloodiers who have the authority to not speak out even if they are harassed. So there is no problem.

“Paru… I need a huge Paru… Ah, since I don’t have one, Woo-sam will have to use a metal hawk instead.”

“Isn’t Paru a different game?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay since he is one of the three guardian gods who protect the Earth from monsters?”

But looking at the current situation, I think my dad needs a lot of Halos that are huge. Only then will we be able to exterminate those bastards without having to wait for unity.

“Hmm, shall we try making it?”

“Don’t take what’s said as a joke seriously.”

… It’s scary that we in Zion can make it.
