I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 297
Episode 297 [ Finale (2) ]
Kwagwagwagwa!
Mana was swirling around the tower that rose through the clouds to the border of space.
A huge amount of mana was sucked into the tower and then spread out into the world.
It was as if the tower was breathing.
As the grade increased, it became clearly visible to Kyung-hoon.
‘As expected, it’s different.’
The mana being sucked into the tower and the mana spreading out did not feel the same. The mana spreading out looked a little more cloudy.
“Was this tower the cause?”
Before I saw it with my own eyes after receiving the original grade, I had only doubts.
Why do new monsters keep appearing?
Why did the newly appearing and changing monsters look the same as the statues at the top of the tower?
Why do monsters appear from the beginning in other dimensions, unlike in this dimension, from the moment mana is first introduced?
The answer to all those questions was, of course, this tower built by Pharaoh.
Even after that fateful day, the tower did not stop. It was still operating even now.
Even now, the Tower of Babel was collecting mana spread across the Earth and transforming it into mana suitable for monsters.
This tower has polluted mana, created monsters, and polluted other dimensions.
A mocking image spread from the top of the tower.
[You’re going to take me down? But you moved me here? Didn’t you know what kind of power this place gave me?]
Some of the mana gushing out of the tower was being absorbed by the dragon on the top floor of the tower with its open ceiling.
[In the end, a tower without a pharaoh will only become the source of my strength! Here, I am truly immortal!]
Paaaaang!
The dragon flapped its wings and flew up.
[Did you think there would be no more races capable of dimensional travel? I’m killing you! No matter how long it takes, I will open the door again and destroy the dimension you live in!]
Kyung-hoon aimed the rail gun at the soaring dragon.
The mana stone mounted on the railgun burned red, and Kyung-hoon pulled the trigger at the last moment.
Shukang!
The runaway mana stone flew towards the dragon at a speed of Mach 7.
Although the dragon stopped the giant robot’s mana stone explosion, it was impossible to stop the mana stone flying at Mach 7.
He barely covered his body with his wings, and the mana stone struck his wings.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Flames filled the sky above the tower again.
The dragon’s defense shield was broken and a hole was created in its wings.
It wasn’t a major injury, but the railgun’s performance was no different from before.
Whoa!
However, the hole created by the mana stone explosion was filled in an instant.
I didn’t need as much time as before.
As soon as the hole was made, the wing immediately returned to its original shape.
The contaminated mana that flowed from the tower instantly restored the dragon’s body.
‘It’s truly immortal.’
-Are you okay?
“don’t worry.”
Eve asked worriedly, but Kyung-hoon just calmly put the rail gun into subspace.
The dragon got closer and closer.
Flames began to glow inside the dragon’s mouth.
[Blame yourself for being so foolish!]
The image of the dragon flew again, but Kyung-hoon only stretched out his hand towards the soaring dragon.
“Dimensional Corridor,”
as Kyung-hoon said, black smoke gathered around him.
Huge smoke blocking the starlight. The smoke clumped together and created several holes.
“There is no reason to make only one summoning circle.”
Kyung-hoon muttered as he looked at the soaring dragon.
*
At that moment, black smoke gathered in the ocean off New York, where Isabelle was staying.
In front of the ruined city. Black holes began to form where America’s last aircraft carriers and battleships were stranded.
Quaguaguagua.
The hole that formed in front of the aircraft carrier and the battleships grew bigger and bigger, swallowing the stranded ships.
Fuaaaaaa!
As the ships disappeared, sea water began to rush into the ruined city.
*
Kwagwagwagwagwa!
Battleships began to escape from the black holes that stretched out on the edge of space.
Aegis ships and aircraft carriers. Even submarines.
Although they were abandoned and worn-out scrap metal, their grandeur did not change.
The battleship and aircraft carrier that escaped the hole began to fall to the ground due to gravity. It rained down on the flying dragon.
[What are you going to do with something like that?]
The dragon opened its mouth towards the falling pile of scrap metal.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Flames poured out of the dragon’s mouth, and the falling ships were engulfed in flames.
Grrrrrr!
The fast-falling ships turned into fireballs and passed by the dragon.
Not a single ship could pass by the dragon.
The dragon’s mouth twisted. I could feel that they were laughing at me even if I didn’t make a fuss about it.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t care at all.
He just looked at the fireballs that passed by the dragon.
The fireballs that passed the dragon continued to fall. Under the dragon. towards the tower.
Fireballs hit the tower.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
An aircraft carrier with a full load of 100,000 tons became a fireball and crashed into the tower.
10,000-ton Aegis ships followed suit.
Quang! bang! Crrrrr!
The tower shook with a huge explosion.
The entire top of the tower was engulfed in flames and the walls collapsed.
The building collapsed in a collision with a passenger plane weighing only 400 tons.
This tower was a tall and gigantic structure that could rise through the clouds to the edge of space, but it could not safely withstand the impact of more than 100,000 tons.
The tower began to sway.
The mana gushing out of the tower also shook wildly.
The dragon that was rising quickly stopped in place.
The dragon looked back.
Burning towers and swirling mana.
I also found out what happened.
[no way! Are you aiming for the tower?]
“That’s right.”
Kyung-hoon, who had already retreated far away, took out a potion from subspace and drank it in response.
-Ugh…this is my first time seeing a potion again.
Leaving Eve’s voice behind, he raised his mana once again.
[You talked about it a while ago, right? ruler! If you can avoid it, avoid it! If you dodge, the tower will collapse!]
Gyeonghoon also shot an image towards the dragon.
At the same time, black holes began to form around Kyung-hoon once again.
[How dare you!!]
The enraged dragon scattered images everywhere, but the hole Kyung-hoon created only got bigger.
Kwagwagwagwagwa!
This time, what came out of the hole were huge buildings.
Buildings over a hundred stories began to fall through the hole one by one.
This time the dragon did not avoid it. The dragon flew towards the falling building.
bang! bang!
Buildings collapsed one after another.
Ordinary physical power could not pierce the dragon’s defense shield or cause damage to the dragon’s body.
Unfortunately, it seemed unlikely that the falling buildings this time would even hit the tower.
But Kyung-hoon also knew that well.
Before I knew it, the rail gun was in Kyung-hoon’s hand again.
The railgun was fired again at the dragon destroying the building.
Paang!
Unlike the first time, the dragon did not notice the mana stone coming through the rubble of the building.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The mana stone exploded.
This time, the shield was pierced and the scales on the body were broken instead of the wings.
The angry dragon roared.
Oh… Ah… Ah…
But I couldn’t hear it well in this place where there wasn’t much air.
The dragon flew towards Kyung-hoon, bleeding.
It gradually decreased and the wound healed.
However, the recovery speed was much slower than before.
Gyeonghoon stepped back to avoid the approaching dragon. He kicked the air and continued to soar upward.
A chase began above the Earth.
[Are you running away!]
The angry dragon spurted mana out from behind its body. Now the dragon’s gigantic wings are meaningless.
A dragon god transformed from the snake god Uraeus, the pharaoh’s guardian god, by adapting other cultures.
Although he was the guardian deity of the brilliant Mana Empire and the last ideal type of monster, the dragon was ultimately just an imaginary god.
In this universe where there was almost no air, the dragon’s wings were just an inconvenience.
In the end, the Awakened and the Dragon had no choice but to compete based on mana.
Unfortunately, the dragon’s mana was larger and more powerful.
Yong gradually became closer to Gyeonghoon.
Grrrr!
The dragon spewed fire and Gyeong-hoon swung his sword.
A mana storm split the flames, followed by various masses raining down on the dragon.
The Statue of Liberty was pierced by torches and the Eiffel Tower fell. The broken Golden Gate Bridge wrapped around the dragon, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building hit both wings of the dragon.
Additionally, mana stones exploded between the destroyed buildings.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
[Kaaaaaaah!]
As time passed and the world became completely dark, a painful image spewed out from the dragon for the first time.
The dragon that was chasing Kyung-hoon in anger stopped in place.
Because of the pain, the dragon was only able to recognize his own appearance.
Both wings were torn off in half, the scales on the body were peeling off, and blood was pouring out.
His leg was broken and he was blind in one eye.
[What is this?]
The dragon was astonished at his own appearance.
Injuries didn’t matter. No matter how injured I was, I just needed to recover.
But
[No recovery?]
The wound was not healing. The bleeding did not stop and the scales did not recover.
The torn wings were like a torn flag, and fluid continued to flow from the closed eyes.
[No mana? Nonsense! The tower is still safe!]
The dragon was shouting that he had become a god, but the dragon’s appearance now was no different from that of an anxious human.
The dragon quickly looked back.
The tower was safe.
It wasn’t even visible to the dragon’s eyes.
The Earth was still on the dragon’s back.
But the Earth was too far away. So much so that you can’t even see the tower.
An image flew to the surprised dragon.
[This is space. A true universe that has gone beyond geostationary orbit.]
Kyung-hoon explained to Yong with a pale face.
‘This is a place where the Earth’s mana cannot reach.’
There was no oxygen, no gravity, and no polluted mana from the Earth.
Just as lava was the source of his recovery when he was a rock giant, now the dragon’s source of recovery is the Earth’s polluted mana.
Naturally, recovery was impossible if the Earth’s mana could not reach it.
The universe was a painful place for Kyung-hoon as well. There was no oxygen and extreme cold and heat were hitting Kyung-Hoon’s body.
The shield was blocking and the strengthened body of the awakened person was holding up, but it was difficult for Gyeong-hoon now that he had almost wasted his mana while attacking the dragon.
An image spewed out from the dragon. It was an image that could no longer be created in words.
anger anger anger anger. anger.
Yong immediately realized that he had been deceived by Kyung-hoon. The dragon was angry and angry again.
And then I became cold.
The nature of a monster that felt a threat to his life took control of his arrogant spirit.
The dragon turned without delay and headed towards Earth.
‘Cheesh, wasn’t it too much?’
Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue as he saw the dragon turning around.
It would have been okay to just keep following me like this.
This seemed to be the limit.
Kyunghoon sighed heavily.
Due to lack of mana, it was difficult to stop the fleeing dragon.
But I couldn’t send it back like this. It was a barely made opportunity.
Kyung-Hoon used the remaining mana to deploy a space movement formation.
Silver holes appeared.
One is Kyung-hoon’s front view. The other one is in front of the flying dragon.
Kyung-Hoon entered the hole and jumped out from the front of the dragon flying towards Earth.
The bloody dragon was getting closer and closer. As I got closer to Earth, I could see my wounds healing little by little.
Kyunghoon looked back.
I saw the Earth.
There was also a small tower that looked like a dot.
Mana was seen swirling around the tower.
Clear mana was being sucked into the tower, and polluted mana was flowing out.
Now I see that the entire Earth is stained with polluted mana.
‘It’s a shame.’
Kyung-hoon raised his sword.
A sword full of stars. Mirinae caught my eye.
Kyung-hoon boiled up his mana again. It seemed like the mana circuit was burning out.
Kyung-Hoon began to accelerate the last drop of mana.
The mana began to run wild.
Wow!
But before he could even use his mana, he ended up spitting out blood from his mouth.
“Damn, is it too much to run away?”
Mana was too low. If things continued like this, the mana would run out before it went berserk.
The dragon came closer.
[Everything is dazzling! The dimension you live in and humans too! Separately! I will destroy everything!]
The dragon had completely turned into a monster. It did not imitate God and did not appear rational.
Kyung-hoon sighed as he looked at the blood floating in front of his eyes.
I couldn’t see a way. Now it was impossible to move through space, let alone move through dimensions.
If things continued like this, it was clear that they would be eaten by the dragon.
Kyunghoon put his hand into his inner pocket. He held the cell phone in his hand.
We said we would always be together, but we couldn’t end it here.
That moment.
Eve, who had been quiet until now, opened her mouth.
-Wow, it’s really complicated. I barely succeeded in hacking it.
“hacking?”
Kyung-hoon stopped his hand at the sudden remark.
-Yes, we have finally hacked the tower control system. Fortunately, it took a long time and the structure was similar to my AI, so I was able to hack it.
-How amazing. It looks like my AI was built on this system.
It doesn’t seem that way, but Eve’s electric brain was actually created based on this system.
Kyung-hoon opened his mouth at Eve’s words.
“Then…”
– Control of your tower has been taken over. The system is significantly disturbed by external influences. You could change it back to normal, but that’s not what you need right now, right?
Eve’s voice contained laughter.
-I will reverse it right away. Master, prepare for shock!
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
As soon as Eve finished speaking, the tower began to vibrate.
The mana surrounding the tower began to become tangled.
Mana absorption stopped and contaminated mana stopped pouring out.
The next moment, the mana was reversed.
Kukukukukuk!
Conversely, the contaminated mana was sucked into the tower. Cleaned mana spurted out of the tower.
The mana vortex that was rotating around the tower began to rotate in the opposite direction.
And
some of the purified mana began to flow into Kyung-Hoon’s body.
Kwagwagwagwagwa.
It felt like a waterfall was pouring into my body.
The empty core filled up immediately, and the mana circuit and entire body were filled with mana.
The pain disappeared and I could breathe freely.
I was overflowing with power. It was a power regardless of grade. God-like power.
“Is this the power of God that Pharaoh was talking about?”
Kyung-Hoon raised his shining sword. The stars engraved on the sword were shining like the sun.
I felt like I could do anything with this power.
It seemed like it could destroy the moon and split continents.
but.
Kyunghoon chuckled.
He had too much experience to be intoxicated by this kind of power.
Kyung-hoon looked around at the broken moon and the universe.
“You don’t have to worry. “I have no intention of gaining strength this way….”
The sun and the moon. The stars were watching him. No, the mana of the universe was looking at him.
As the Pharaoh said, they might be gods of the universe, or they might just be the energy of mana.
In any case, I had no intention of arguing with those watching Kyunghoon.
He raised his sword towards the approaching dragon.
Kyung-Hoon poured his mana into the flaming sword.
Grrrrrr.
The sword burned brightly like the light of the sun, and the stars engraved on the blade shone like supernovas.
The approaching dragon’s eyes were extremely wide.
The dragon’s body, which had been recovering, became covered in wounds again, and the dragon that was approaching quickly was hesitantly retreating.
Astonishment. Fear of frustration.
Dizzying images were coming out indiscriminately.
Kyung-hoon soothed his mouth.
‘Overcharge.’
Mana spurted out from the sword.
A huge mana storm split the universe.
[Kaaaa!]
An image containing a scream accompanied by a mana storm flashed briefly and then disappeared.
After a while,
a storm blew up again and the huge tower of Babel collapsed.
