[Unified Dimensional Information: Atlas]

– A planet inhabited by ‘Titans’, the top predators of the continent.

– Compared to Earth’s civilization, it is most similar to the primitive era, but the intellectual level of the species inhabiting it does not show much difference from that of humanity.

– Hecaton Kale, the giant god of chaos, was appointed as the ruler.

– Currently, Hecaton Kale has lost the war with Heaven and is facing death.

– The Titans, freed from frozen time, are preparing for the resurrection ‘Titanomachia’ to revive their ruler.

Atlas.

I clearly remember seeing such a name among the list of five dimensions with high-level origins.

I was only guessing, but Atlas was indeed a planet inhabited by Titans.

‘It’s difficult.’

Daesung, who opened the system and looked at the information in the Atlas dimension, clicked his tongue.

To open the path to the source of the dimension, the life of the ruler must be fed to the ‘Life Devourer’.

But

‘the ruler who would become the prey of the predator of life is dead.’

That’s not all.

Hecaton Kale, the giant of chaos.

This was my first time hearing the name Hecatoncale, but the nickname that preceded it seemed very familiar.

‘He was the guy that Ramish and the forces of Honse tried to resurrect.’

Of course, in the end, Ramish met death at the hands of Daeseong and his family was destroyed.

Because of this, I thought my contact with the Titan of Chaos had disappeared forever.

‘It was fate that we would meet one day.’

Destiny to be faced.

Yes.

Even though Hecaton Kale was currently dead, Daesung was confident that he would meet him.

There is one reason.

‘I need to help him resurrect it.’

He had already decided to revive the Titan of Chaos by helping the Titans prepare for the Easter Festival.

If you think about it, it wasn’t a problem to worry about for a long time, and there were no other options.

‘It is a process that must be completed in order to achieve the goal.’

The only way to open the path to the source is to hunt down the ruler of the Atlas dimension.

What prerequisites must be met before killing prey?

That is, first of all, the prey must be ‘alive’.

‘If you want to kill, you must first save.’

Is there anything easier and simpler than this?

***

“Wow! Look at this! “Ice really comes out of my hands!”

“I… nothing comes out. Did I fail? Should I eat again?”

“You said that if you eat two, you will die. “If it doesn’t work out, live the way you shouldn’t.”

The Russians who came to New Mexico via the warp gate listened to Daesung’s words and immediately consumed bloodstone.

Then, those who developed magic were divided into those who did not.

Those who absorbed the power of the bloodstone reacted with excitement and wonder at the supernatural powers they had awakened overnight.

“….”

Daeseong looked at them in silence, smiling and not losing their vitality even in a half-destroyed world.

Then, he pulled out something very small from subspace.

seed.

In fact, Daesung doesn’t really know what this seed is.

When I killed the Titan who was in the vanguard earlier, the system automatically allowed me to obtain seeds and displayed this message.

[The ‘Ruler’s Seed’ has been recaptured from the enemy.]

[If you plant the seed in the land you like, good things will happen.]

Good things will happen. Is it because of my mood that it feels like the nuance is urging me to try it quickly?

Even when I looked at the seed, I couldn’t remember the detailed item information as usual.

There is no way the system would have shown such a message to make fun of Daesung, so it might be worth trying at least once.

‘It would be better to plant it in the royal castle’s backyard.’

There were no specific instructions on where to plant them, but I still felt like I should plant them as close to the center as possible.

Daeseong walked halfway around the fortress, moved to the spacious backyard, and dropped the seeds.

Then the hard dirt floor began to absorb the seeds like a sponge.

Then system messages started pouring in like a tidal wave.

[The ‘Ruler’s Seed’ was planted.]

[I was unable to find a being nearby who was hostile toward the person who planted the seed. The seed has successfully infiltrated.]

[The person who planted the seed will be able to exercise influence over the territory as a lord in the future.] [In the future,

major situations in the territory will be communicated to the lord in real time.]

[Currently, within the territory , There are 300,000 humans and 50,000 Randos living there.]

[You have met the conditions to be reborn as a ‘lower territory.’]

[You will be given a < Lord’s Ring > as a reward to commemorate your elevation to a lord.]

[ As the number of subjects increases and unity becomes easier, the status of the territory increases by one level!] He unexpectedly

became a lord.

Suddenly, you become a lord.

‘To lead and rule someone, summoning a beast is enough…’

Dominating or ruling did not suit Daesung’s temperament.

That’s why I don’t really like the name Yeongji.

However, from the looks of it, a title is only a title, and there is no need to be bound or tied down by one’s status just because one has become a lord.

‘Then maybe it’s better to think in a positive direction?’

The work itself has not changed. Becoming a lord did not add any new work.

Station more people around New Mexico, where bloodstone is located. It’s something I’ve been doing before. Nothing has changed.

However, from now on, the act of dedicating oneself to humanity will be appropriately rewarded.

From that perspective, the system’s advice that good things will happen may not be entirely wrong.

‘< The Lord's Ring >…’

While he was organizing his thoughts, an ink-colored ring was already placed on the middle finger of Daesung’s right hand.

[Item Information]

Name: Lord’s Ring

Category: Accessories

‘An offering offered to someone who has just become a lord. The souls of the knights enshrined in the ring become guardians and protect the lord’s safety.

Special skill [Summon Knights]: Summons 5 ‘Spirit Knights’ who responded to the lord’s call for 30 seconds.

Although it wasn’t a huge reward, the performance wasn’t too bad.

Since the reward for cultivating a low-level territory is this much, much better items will be given as a reward as progress continues.

‘Test the ring later.’

This should be enough to get some rest.

Now it was time to leave for Atlas.

***

As a result of opening the insight and reading the ‘map’…

the Atlas was located in the plains of Manchuria, located in the north of Northeast Asia.

Daeseong rode the annihilation dragon and looked down on the field from as high an altitude as possible.

‘It’s the same scene I saw in Ramish’s memories.’

Titans whose height was literally comparable to that of a mountain were roaming across the vast wilderness.

As the system explained that the level of civilization was not much different from the Earth’s primitive times, there were no buildings on the wilderness other than a few huts.

‘I would like to turn everything over without any hesitation, but…’

But this time, we must not stick to such a simple and ignorant approach.

Daeseong drove the annihilation dragon as far as possible out of their sight.

Eventually, we arrived at a semi-desert area with no sign of human presence.

Daeseong, who landed on the ground, used his magic power without delay.

“Come out.”

A storm of darkness swirled in his hands as he sang ‘Legion of Death’.

The black airflow mixed with the gusts of the wilderness became increasingly larger.

Soon, a commanding soldier so large that even Daesung’s vision could not capture it all appeared.

“Grrrrrr-!”

The command soldier who appeared before my eyes was none other than Titan.

The leader of the group that was killed in New Mexico earlier was brought back to life in < The Spirit of the Dead >.

“Grrrrrr-!”

“Shh.”

“….”

As the undead Titan howled with the force of a hungry beast, Daesung put his index finger to his lips and forced him to be quiet.

Daesung stroked his chin as he stared at the sight of Titan ‘Ulgorik’, who suddenly became as quiet as a mute.

‘No matter how you look at it, this is bound to be suspicious.’

The skin that was like a rock is melting away, and the flames that once engulfed my entire body are as weak as a lantern.

Of course, thanks to the effect of < Spirit of the Dead >, he has become even stronger than when he was alive, but he is still an undead no matter what he looks like.

‘In order to proceed with the plan easily, we must disguise ourselves as Titans.’

His first goal is to revive Hecaton Kale, the titan of chaos.

And to resurrect Hecaton Kale, you must sacrifice the soul of the bravest Titan.

‘They set the standard for the bravest Titan.’

This was information obtained by looking into Ugorick’s memories with < Early Eyes >.

If you want to revive Hecaton Kale, you have no choice but to disguise yourself as a Titan and blend in among them.

The guy in front of you is just a costume to wear to disguise yourself.

But it would be troublesome if the costume was something like this zombie.

“Come out.”

Daeseong thought there might be a good solution, so he summoned Melcanon.

Grumble-!

Melcanon, free from the seal of embodiment, looked at the gigantic Titan and admired it.

“What a beautiful undead!”

“Can you decorate this guy so he doesn’t look like an undead?”

“Is it okay to just change the exterior? That much can be solved with a simple ‘Polymorph other’.”

“Then recreate what this guy was like when he was alive.”

“Well… unfortunately that’s a bit difficult.”

“Why?”

“You can think of it as similar to drawing a portrait of an object you briefly saw without looking at it with your own eyes. Well, I’ll try to reproduce it as exactly as possible, but…”

“Then do it.”

If it doesn’t look like an undead, it probably doesn’t matter.

Melcanon, facing Ugorick, stretched out both hands and began chanting.

Then, a powerful burst of light enveloped Ugorick.

Pot-!

After a while, Ugorick’s appearance was revealed again and his appearance had clearly changed.

The skin that had melted and corroded hardened, and the flame that was like a lantern burned brightly again.

‘It’s different from its original appearance in some minor ways, but… Still, it can be said that at this level, the concern about being suspected of being undead has disappeared.’

Now all you have to do is use this guy’s guise to infiltrate Atlas.

I have already thought about how to proceed with the operation.

Daeseong sat down on the floor and crossed his legs.

Soon, a purple energy crept up his shoulders.

[‘Commander Dolph’s’ unique power: < Companion of Death > is activated.] [

The soul of the Absolute is temporarily assimilated with ‘Commander: Ugoric’!]

The body of the great saint is scented. As soon as it bloomed and seeped into Rick’s mind, a system came to mind.

[< Death Companion > has been successfully activated!]

[You can freely use the body of the assimilated target.] [

Time remaining until assimilation ends: 24 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

Daesung has become a Titan.

However, < Companion of Death > had several clear shortcomings.

‘My body becomes defenseless.’

Daesung, who had taken on Ugorick’s mind and body, looked back at his original body in the lotus position.

Cross-legged with eyes closed.

As the fairy tale progresses, you won’t even flinch even if a bomb falls next to you.

In other words, the moment someone strikes you with a knife from behind, you immediately go to the netherworld.

‘I can’t even use items and skills….’

The Flame Great Sword, the King of All Diseases, and the Power.

Without them, you have to rely only on Ugorik’s body.

But

‘if you do it, that’s enough.’

It was worth it.

If I was going to worry about such limitations, I wouldn’t have written “Companion of Death” in the first place.

If it is insufficient, it moves with the shortage. If something doesn’t work, we make it happen somehow. Because this is his theory.

Daesung gave instructions to Melcanon, who was standing next to his main body.

“You must protect my body until I return.”

“Would it be possible? “I will prioritize your existence more than my own life.”

“Don’t believe it.”

After saying his last words, Daesung took a heavy step forward.

thud-!

It was a time when the plains of Manchuria rang lightly.

Pubububung-!!

A terrifying explosion, incomparable to the roar made by Daesung’s footsteps, rang out from afar.

Daesung stopped without thinking, narrowed his eyes and glared in the direction from which the deflagration was rising.

“That…”

Gate-like holes opened up in the empty air, and a flock of huge eagles jumped out beyond them.

I focused my vision a little more. I saw figures wearing robes and armor riding on the eagles’ backs.

A barrage of magical bombardment, with endless explosions, was pouring down from the weapons they held.

The Titans, who had been suddenly invaded, roared and began to fight against the enemies in the air.

‘I don’t know how things are going, but…’

The corners of Daesung’s mouth slowly turned up.

And I made a decision.

‘It’s an opportunity to be active.’

Especially to be on the side of those poor Titans.
