The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 558

Chapter 558:

When half of the Golden King was purged by the Judge, a strong backlash arose in his realm.

Most people suspected that there was some kind of deal between the judge and the three surviving gold kings.

But that’s it.

There was only suspicion, no certainty, and no one could question the judge about this.

It was just an air of dissatisfaction.

They also felt that no matter how much they were gold kings, they were ultimately just traders.

The Universal Council, which is supposed to maintain order in the universe, was also unable to intervene. In any case, in the end, going for something that only resulted in the loss of a few merchants’ lives was a loss of authority.

It must have been burdensome for them to have to stand in conflict with the judge for the sake of beings who only had that.

As a result, everything ended smoothly. Now the three gold kings of the Judges, the colossi have greedily absorbed the assets and business base left behind by other purged gold kings.

There wasn’t much of a fight.

The three of them were greedy, but not overly greedy.

Here again, there was concern that the anger that did not reach the judge could turn its arrow on the Three Golden Kings.

But surprisingly, that didn’t happen. This incident not only made them realize that the Geum Kings were ultimately nothing more than puppets of the judge, but also because among the three Geum Kings, there was no one particularly worthy of finding fault with them.

There are giant metas, dragons, Dragoins, and even humans from supernova.

They were all people who became golden kings through personal ability, not power. The public acknowledged their existence because they were sensitive to the given environment and talent, but tolerant of effort and struggle.

Janet evaluated this incident as follows.

“It’s quite a bullshit story. The judge…”

Everything goes according to the judge’s will.

A suspicion arose that perhaps she would have survived whether she had knelt on the spot or not.

The judge may have already decided which statue to save.

“See you again, Janet.”

The Akashic guard said, calming down his energy.

“I thought I should at least study the history of the stars so I could survive next time!”

Her words can be interpreted in various ways.

The guard didn’t bother to ask any more questions.

“I guess that’s why Akashic exists here and why we protect it.”

“that’s right.”

“Even the prophets of the universe took time to realize the power of fate in the birth and death of stars…”

Janet, who didn’t want to hear any more of the guard’s annoying tastes, ended the conversation.

“Anyway, shall I go in?”

“Entry is permitted.”

After receiving permission from the guards, she sets foot in Akashic.

Whoa whoa…

The recording and playback device emits light.

The planet to check the records is, of course, Pandea.

“… I really enjoyed it. ha ha ha!”

She was caught up in this unfortunate planet. In its fate, in its gravity.

Drudduddud…

Just like before, a library where the history of Pandea was recorded appeared.

She was no longer interested in this place.

This is a piece of history that has been built and the path that Pandea has walked.

Everything in Akashic is a record, but it is also a transcription. Akashic simply writes down things that have already been decided in the same way using the power of the stars.

Yes.

It’s fate.

It’s a tasteless story where everything is predetermined.

“Except one place in this wide universe.”

Supernova Pandea.

Strangely enough, the end of the story that began in Pandea is still unknown.

The huge amount of information caused confusion and the ending was obscured.

Janet confirmed that the door she had broken earlier had been returned to its original state.

Kkeiike…

This time, he opened the door quite kindly. It almost seems polite.

universe.

From here on, the library did not take shape due to the excessive amount of information.

I just repeat a series of processes of recording all the information pouring in and spitting it out in a book.

Thump…

thump…

books rained.

Books are piling up like mountains everywhere.

She turns away from the boring reality and volunteers to be seduced by fate.

“Anyone who could do something like this… would definitely exist here. “Was I… wrong!”

She climbed the mountain of books and shouted.

“What on earth are you trying to do? “In a wasteland of faith… on a planet where life is barely surviving.”

There is no answer either.

Like a god.

God wanted God.

I wanted his existence.

A sea of doubt.

“Who are you? What do you see and what do you draw?…”

God.

“Show me too! The future you see! “Those blasphemous intentions!”

There was no answer this time either.

“… Are you saying I’m useless?”

Janet laughed bitterly.

That moment.

Cheeeeeee…

“Ugh… Ugh?”

Her left eye began to burn. Burning with pitch black ash.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”

She has to struggle in tremendous pain. However, there was a strange smile on his distorted face.

Soon I couldn’t hold back my laughter and burst out laughing.

“Hahahahahahaha! Is that so! Hahahahahaha!”

She was completely consumed by madness.

Surrendering myself to a joy greater than pain.

The reason she lost one eye was because she was faced with information she couldn’t handle.

The pouring information created a single, tearing sound.

– Finally….

* * *

A lot of things in Tymolon have changed since Ttuktuni’s declaration.

The ogres’ livelihood was now banned.

The era where they only yawned and filled their stomachs without fighting has come to an end.

Boom…

Boom…

The ogres were divided into pre-planned locations and trained.

They, who did not know about the virtues of leadership and loyalty, accepted this change without much opposition.

Kang Seol glanced at Ttuk Ttuk.

‘This person achieved it.’

The army of Ttong-i is not disorganized and not careless. With that alone, it was clear that their power had become several times stronger than before.

“If the world wasn’t so chaotic… what kind of future do you think you would have dreamed of?”

“That’s a boring question.”

If is meaningless.

Nevertheless, Ttuktuk answered Kang Seol’s question.

“I think they may have cut out the wild nature.”

An unexpected answer.

“Their change started with me. “By refining their unrefined wildness, I can make the reason that could not be turned into violence stay within them and make them harmonious.”

From here on, it is a choice.

But…

“It’s just me making the choices and everything goes back when I’m gone. If that happens… the result of choosing violence is that you will be hated, and if you are unlucky… you will be hunted. “Just like in the past.”

He continued:

“But the situation will be quite different for those who choose unity. “It will create a basis for anticipation.”

“… basis for expectations?”

“For example… aren’t they actually just immature? Could it be because we failed to establish a proper leader? “Maybe we can go back to how it was before?”

“….”

“Expectations that are no different from suspicions like these will be turned into opportunities. If I get the chance, I’ll go back to where I was before. How is it? “I gave a plausible reason why harmony is more reasonable than violence.”

“… surely.”

Snowfall felt her heart warming as she saw the power of the ogres gathered together, but at the same time, her worries deepened.

Because I know things are still difficult.

As if he had sensed the signs of snowfall, Ttukgi said.

“How many opportunities do you think our troops have left in the snowfall?”

“… once at most.”

“no.”

“There was an answer.”

“Yes there is an answer.”

Kang-seol ponders for a moment over Dduk-tki’s words. How many times does he think he is right?

Kang Seol remembered the answer.

“…is there no chance?”

Smart laughed.

“That’s correct.”

“Why…”

“The strength the Allied forces expended as they advanced toward Montra amounted to half of their strength at the time. One perfect opportunity was wasted. If it were me, I wouldn’t have made that choice… but did I tell you that there is no meaning to what has already happened?”

“What are we preparing for if we don’t have the opportunity?”

“What I’m talking about is the opportunity at this point in time.”

“It’s hard to understand. Are you saying things will be better later than they are now?”

“It would be better to show you rather than explain in words.”

Thump…

thump…

Drunk headed somewhere with Bamion and Snow Seol.

A huge communal area within the building.

It was similar to a tunnel and seemed to be slowly digging downward.

“Let’s walk together.”

“….”

Kang Seol asked as he entered the basement.

“… Where does it lead?”

“See for yourself.”

The crypt was huge.

No, it was so large that it could not be described simply as huge.

It is large enough for more than ten ogres to walk sideways holding hands.

‘Was this… made with the movement of troops in mind?’

Smart said.

“Animals are sensitive to smell. We have been concentrating on this underground passage ever since we settled here. “The civil engineering knowledge and skills of Lord Barmion’s dwarves here were of great help.”

“Hahaha! yes. “It was easy for us to be with big guys.”

“So… you’ve been preparing for over two years?”

“… That’s right. “It took a lot of time to get around the deserted ground, but we somehow managed to do it.”

Boom…

Boom…

They arrived at a crossroads that divided into five or six branches.

The route seemed to change here.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefoot

_

Clap…

nothing happened right away.

“Hahaha, just wait a little bit. “We’re talking.”

Kang Seol asked.

“I think I know where this place will lead.”

“I expected you would notice.”

“… Khan. Even if we can’t do it, it will continue to the vicinity.”

“….”

Not overland, but underground.

Why was such a long tunnel created?

“First of all, I had to be free from the external environment. “If we had to be threatened every time the army of death surged in, the damage would be severe.”

“There is certainly a distance from Tymolon to support Khan.”

“That’s not it. Tymolon will not support Khan.”

“… What is that?”

“Secondly, this is because it was not designed as a simple underground passage.”

This too is an answer that raises questions.

However, Kang Seol was able to erase those doubts as soon as he encountered the changed environment of the underground.

Giiiiiiing-

Clap… Clap…

Clap…

“… Track.”

The track continued until here.

Coo goong…

coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…

I felt something approaching this place at incredible speed.

A being that emits light in the distance.

“Oh my…”

“If you remember seeing that, you might be even more surprised. “I made it a little bigger.”

Kugu Gugu Gugu Gugu

-gu

…

“Castreng!”

Smart laughed.

“We also absorbed some Federation survivors, but fortunately, it appears that some of them left there with the blueprints for this mechanism. I guess I picked something up that I thought would be helpful. Unfortunately, it is not the final version, so it will be somewhat sloppy and the pace will be unstable.”

“Still…”

That’s amazing.

The size of this Castrang was jaw-dropping. It is large enough to carry even an ogre without difficulty.

“Let’s get in!”

Smart got on the train and offered an invitation, showing his palm.

“Let’s get in.”

“….”

As Snowfall boarded the train, Castrang began to move.

“… How long does it take to get to Cannes?”

“It’s still two days. “I expect it to be about a day and a half within a month.”

That alone would be a significant contribution to this war.

However, Kang Seol continued to hang on to what he had said before.

– That’s not it. Tymolon will never support Khan.

“What did it mean that Tymolon has no business supporting Khan?”

“I guess that goes along with what I said earlier about the remaining opportunities not being met in one go.”

– What I’m talking about is the opportunity at this point and in this situation.

– That’s hard to understand. Are you saying that things will be better later than they are now?

Ttuktuk said with a cold face.

“The situation is not getting better. “It just gets harsher.”

two days later.

The royal bridge of Hongyeon, the capital of the Khan Empire.

“We’re in big trouble!”

“What happened without any message!”

The messenger said out of breath.

“Come out and see for yourself…”

The patrol leader was led in front of him and faced with a black man and an ogre.

said the ogre.

“There is no time. “Let the nobles here know that we have come.”

“Hee…heeek….”
