Chapter 471: Face-to-face Contact with Him (2)
But I attacked as soon as I heard that.
“I’m going to kill you! Frost Spear!”
After all, he was responsible for all of what happened.
Of course, I was once highly thankful to the man who made Revival Legend, even though I didn’t know who he was. But not anymore. Instead, I hated him.
At that moment, a message rang.
[Your target is immune to any attack.]
“…”
Obviously, he didn’t lie when he said he created ‘Revival Legend.’
That’s why I was more frustrated.
But he tried to calm me down as if he was shocked by my actions.
“Hey, calm down!”
“What the heck? You bastard! Do you think I can calm down in such a situation?”
Countless people had died. So much so that the word ‘annihilation’ was not enough to describe those sacrificed. Of course, I was selfish enough to think that their annihilation would not have mattered if my family had not been included among them. But in the end they also died for me.
“Phew, I can’t calm you down. Call!”
Shunnnnnnnnnnnng, shuuuuuuuuung, shuuuuuuuuuuuung.
Shouting ‘Call,’ he snapped his fingers multiple times, and with each snap, a person showed up in front of me.
They were my dad, my mom, my elder brother, my elder sister, and Bora Yon. But they were motionless with their eyes closed like corpses.
So the moment I was about to yell at him, he said first, “Don’t worry because they are not dead. So can we talk now?”
“Alright…”
So I calmed down first because getting excited by myself would not solve the problem.
“What is your identity? Are you god?”
“God? Ummm… I almost became a god. But I’m more sort of a master. That’s why I gambled with the Kuhana guys with a 0.00000001% of success. They didn’t want to accept my offer without such a low probability.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s a long story. Okay, I will tell you about it only because you have won this gamble with a 0.00000001% chance of success. Earth entered the Autoborn Stage at the same time as its past test was over. What is the Autoborn stage? It’s simple. Based on the Autoborn Stage, I made the ‘Forgotten Legend’ and ‘Revival Legend’ you played. Anyway, during the Autoborn Stage I took over the entire earth. Just like you, or even more so than you, all the great powers of the world bowed before me, including those called the Seven Great Emperors. Then we moved to a place called the Continent of Judgement, where we had a duel with those who already went through the Autoborn Stage just like Earth, and in the end, we won .”
What he said was really strange or even absurd. But since I suffered more than that, and had direct evidence of it, I didn’t interrupt him.
I just quietly listened to this guy named Jiwon Lee.
He continued, “So it’s simple. The Autoborn Stage can be seen as the stage where ‘Revival Legend’ has appeared in reality, and the stage called the Continent of Judgement is like the one where the people on Kuhana and Earth fought for their survival. So when we won on the Continent of Judgement, the Judge in charge of all these things appeared and said something like, ‘Congratulations on your victory. You have been given a special reward for making the achievement that none has made.’ Then the Judge gave us two options: one of them was to move on to the next level called Mamont, and the other option was to roll the Earth back to the stage before the Autoborn, and at the same time prevent it from entering the Autoborn stage any more.”
“So which option did you choose?”
“Well, I chose the latter option. In fact, I was a little tired at the time. The guy I confronted last on the Continent of Judgement was really strong. And many people I loved died in the fight.”
“Then why did you make such a fuss like this? Wasn’t it a happy ending?”
“Happy ending? Of course, it was. It was definitely a happy ending. I was as strong as ever, and all the people I loved came back alive, just before the start of the Autoborn Stage. But even though I was the owner of the earth, I couldn’t make ordinary people live for more than 500 years. I feel rather sorry to say this, but when I entered the Autoborn Stage, a message rang that I could not reproduce anymore. Even though I made a rollback, I was still affected. In other words, I was basically a eunuch. But it didn’t matter to me at that time. But when the descendants of the people I loved continued to die, and the descendants of their descendants continued to die, there was nobody left who had anything to do with me, so I felt empty.”
“…”
“I knew then why the gods had left me. Obviously, I didn’t do anything. I had no intention of intervening. But, even though I did nothing, can you understand that the dazzling development of mankind had halted for 5,000 years? I thought that flying cars would come out anytime soon, but for 5,000 years, cars were still on the road, and human lifespans remained less than 100 years instead of extending past 200 or 300 years. And I thought human diseases could be conquered, but they did not. Nonetheless, people or humans didn’t know that. They didn’t feel anything strange at all. So I made a decision to enter the Autoborn Stage once again because I was sick and tired of the earth spinning around without change, when all the people I loved had died.”
“…”
I couldn’t stop him since he was speaking so fast.
So I kept listening without responding.
“But that was impossible because I made the choice not to enter the Autoborn Stage any longer. So? I made a proposal to those in a place called Kuhana, which was about to enter the Judgement stage after passing the Autoborn Stage. They must have been attracted to my proposal because they envied my power that even the judges who controlled all stages, including the Autoborn Stage, feared. But obviously the guys on Kuhana were too cautious. So they tried hard to prevent my intervention completely. So I made ‘Forgotten Legend’ and ‘Revival Legend,’ based on the Autoborn Stage that I had gone through.”
Since he said something beyond my imagination, I could not respond at all.
He continued, “Anyway, you have led the Earth to victory, and the Earth got another chance by devouring Kuhana. In other words, the Earth has another opportunity to enter the new Autoborn Stage. Of course, I don’t plan on doing it right now. You should enjoy the glory of victory. So I’ll wait until you feel the same emptiness as me. Waiting for one hundred or one thousand, or ten thousand years? I don’t care. It was a meaningless wait for me back then, but it is a meaningful wait for me now. Alright. I’m done. See you next time. When you want to see me, just shout, Start Autoborn Stage!’ Or just look for me.”
Shuuuuuuuuung!
As soon as he said that, Jiwon Lee, who was giving me such a long lecture, disappeared. At the same time, I felt the earth being overturned and the sky falling.
Flop!
I also fell to the ground.
I tried to regain my senses, but failed to do so.
