00942 If You Change, One. ————————————————– ———————-=
At that time, in the summoning room… .
“Well, what does that mean?”
Kim Yu-hyeon stuttered without realizing it. As she glares at the altar in front with a strong light of disbelief, the person receiving her gaze quietly closes his eyes. Even though she has ten mouths, she looks embarrassed as if she has nothing to say.
“What does that mean!”
Kim Yu-hyeon shouted, which was rare. She let out a scream that almost sounded like a scream.
“It’s not a difficult request! I’m just asking you to move one person! “Is that really that difficult?”
Once the shouting started, it did not know how to stop, like a river whose dam has burst.
“what? Even a wish won’t work? “It doesn’t work even with zero code?”
I was so excited that my right arm, which I held out to the altar, started shaking so much that I could see it. In her tightly closed hand, a bead was holding a blue afterimage as if it were about to crumble.
“under! okay. I would have gotten a zero code anyway. “Are you saying it doesn’t matter what happens to Soohyun now?”
Kim Yu-hyeon, who had said that far, took a deep breath and glared at the angel at the altar as if he were going to kill him.
Was it difficult to endure the man’s glare any longer, or was it just that he couldn’t ignore those words?
Seraph gently opens her eyes and faces her opponent with eyes full of sadness. And he quietly opened his mouth.
“As I said before… . “The wish to move user Kim Soo-hyun here cannot be granted.”
“So with zero code… !”
“With zero code, we can fulfill user Yuhyeon Kim’s request. I didn’t say it was impossible. only… . “It’s difficult at the moment.”
“f*ck Nimmi, this is hard!”
At that moment, Seraph’s head turned to the side with a pop sound. Kim Yu-hyeon threw the zero code she was holding in her hand with all her might as the words were repeated like a parrot. In addition, he used harsh swear words, which he rarely used. This was proof that Kim Yu-hyun was extremely angry.
It was an action that would have been unthinkable under normal circumstances, but Seraph showed no reaction. He just carefully rolls the zero code back and then stares at the other person again with a sad look on his face.
Even though he acted beyond the limits, the man’s spirit was extremely brutal.
However, rather than being angry, Seraph fully understood Kim Yu-hyeon’s request. Aside from the fact that we are simply related by blood, how despairing must it be to have run to the death with only one hope, but to have run into an unexpected wall?
It’s just that they can’t accept reality, but it’s not that they don’t understand it.
In fact, this issue was one that Seraph repeatedly emphasized to Kim Soo-hyun that he should always be careful.
‘Zero Code is an all-purpose solution that fulfills everything the user wishes.’
‘However, a god like Hwajeong or Thanatos can even partially resist the orders of the Zero Code if he or she puts his mind to it.’
‘Even if the order is carried out, the time it takes for the result to come out is not the same.’
‘Just by attracting Thanatos, the devil can create countless variables. User Kim Soo-hyun must always be careful and be on guard in this regard.’
In other words, the command of the zero code can include both humans and gods in the category, but it can never be placed on the same line. Especially if it is a high-ranking god like Hwajeong or Thanatos.
It is possible to bring in Kim Soo-hyun with zero code.
But the problem is that the devil knows it too.
In fact, Kim Soo-hyun had already forcibly accepted a piece of Thanatos. In other words, whether it is turning back time or bringing back Kim Soo-hyun, if there is even a sign of the Zero Code’s command being executed, Thanatos will notice immediately, and if that happens, Kim Soo-hyun’s life cannot be guaranteed.
That’s why Seraph opposes the use of the zero code. Even if it takes less than a minute to break through the resistance, who can guarantee what will happen in the meantime?
“What on earth is this all-powerful power?” . I can’t do even one thing… .”
At that time, Kim Yu-hyeon’s legs suddenly gave out and he fell to his knees.
“rather… . If only I had arrived earlier… .”
The voice of self-blame continued, but in fact, even if we had arrived early, the result would have been the same.
no. Even if the devil had some kind of purpose, if Kim Soo-hyun had not been saved, it would have been impossible to revive him.
As long as you’re alive, you have a chance.
It was a Seraph who thought so, but she did not open her mouth carelessly. Because I know it’s like pouring oil on a burning house.
In the end, all I could do was quietly lower my head as I looked at the man who was constantly muttering, as if he were possessed by something.

How much time has passed?
Since I am constantly trapped in a dark space, and my limbs are tightly tied, even the concept of time is blurring.
Sometimes it seems like someone comes and goes, but that’s it. We were completely isolated from the outside world. In this situation, all I could do was think.
After Thanatos left, even in the midst of confusion, I continued to organize and reorganize my thoughts. Han So-young must have read my condition and didn’t try to force me to talk to her.
Among the words I heard, there were two that particularly bothered me. One is that he saved my life at the devil’s request. And the other thing is that if everything goes well, I will send you off safely.
At first, I didn’t understand why he saved my life, but when I connected these two words and thought about it, I suddenly realized something.
It wasn’t a difficult thing to think about.
Thanatos’ words had the nuance that the devil had not given up yet. Additionally, their goal is focused solely on obtaining the Zero Code, and from the devil’s perspective, we are nothing more or less than a nuisance in the way.
In other words, there was only one answer from the beginning. Satan kept me alive to take me hostage. I will try to negotiate with my brother who has the Zero Code on the condition of my survival and safe return. In the end, it must be said that it is a kind of exchange.
Moreover, after hearing from Han So-young, it seems that we are not the only ones taken prisoner. If, by any chance, one of the other captives reveals the relationship between me and my older brother, there is a high possibility that Satan will definitely think it’s worth a try.
It was truly ironic. As she finished her series of guesses, she felt conflicting feelings of simultaneously wishing she had been saved and wishing she had never come.
But if I were in my brother’s situation, I probably would never have responded.
No matter how much they tempt you with sweet words, there is something called essence. Believe in the devil and join hands with them? A passing dog would laugh. It was not for nothing that I flatly rejected the suggestion that we should join forces to wipe out the angels.
Anyway, the decision-making power lies with my brother, not me. It’s not that I doubt my brother’s abilities, but… .
well. Honestly, it’s hard for even me to predict how it will turn out. It would be nice if someone could act as a proper brake… .
I don’t know.
It just feels like everything is messed up.
“Whoa…” .”
Perhaps because my chest was tight, I naturally let out a long sigh.
‘Hwajeong.’
I tried talking to him just in case, but still.
After coming to her senses, Hwajeong never opened her mouth. She called countless times, but never heard a reply.
I was worried that Hwajeong might have disappeared, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Because I still feel a warm, heavy, familiar energy in my heart.
Perhaps he received a great shock while releasing the seal, or Thanatos, who had regained his strength, may have resorted to a trick. Well, if it’s nothing like this, you might have read my thoughts last time and gotten angry. It really can’t be like that.
… Anyway, what should I do now?
“… … ?”
It was then.
While I was deep in thought, I suddenly felt a gaze staring at me.
*
“method… . There is a way… .”
Kim Yu-hyeon kept talking to herself while burying herself in a chair. Her left hand was tightly gripping the zero cord, and her right hand was trembling and tapping on the desk.
It has to be that way. It was the last bastion, no. I thought this was the only way to do it, ‘User Kim Soo-hyun is summoned to Atlanta by the command of the zero code.’ Since this method failed, the task of safely bringing Kim Soo-hyun back was virtually in vain.
If so, there is only one way left.
There is no choice but to retrieve it directly, even if it means fighting another war.
Of course, it’s easier said than done. The problem is how to realize it, but no matter how many times I think about it, I can’t come up with a clear solution. Kim Yu-hyeon didn’t even know how many of his allies were currently alive.
“shit… .”
Dozens of homes sink to the surface as soon as they come to mind.
Demons are a problem and Thanatos is also a problem. In particular, Satan was persistent and persistent to the point of being criticized. Most of the time, he would just give up, but his ability to find an opening in any situation is outstanding. At this point, I was even starting to respect the users who had won against the devil in the first round.
“Whoa… . Phew… .”
Even though Kim Yu-hyun was rotating his head furiously without stopping for even a second, he was catching his breath according to his instincts. Because if she didn’t do something like this, her heart would burst.
at that time.
“… huh?”
Suddenly, a cloud of blue light intermittently illuminated Kim Yu-hyeon’s face. The communication bead placed on one side of the desk was blinking. Kim Yu-hyeon, who was staring blankly, regretted it and hurriedly channeled his magic power. Then, the bead projected a small image, revealing the appearance of someone.
“Shadow Queen?”
(Yes, Mr. Uncle.)
When Kim Yu-hyun, who immediately recognized him, opened his mouth, Go Yeon-ju also nodded slightly. However, for some reason, his face showed a look of confusion, so Kim Yu-hyeon could sense that something had happened.
(I’m sorry, but… there’s something I need you to take care of.)
“No, no. I’m sorry. I’ll go right away. Where are you?”
Kim Yu-hyeon had already left the rest to me, feeling sorry, so he hurriedly stood up.
however.
(no.)
Go Yeon-ju slowly shook his head.
(You don’t have to come. I just sent it there.)
“yes? “You sent it?”
When Kim Yu-hyeon, who was wearing a robe, stopped and asked a question, Go Yeon-ju suddenly raised her eyebrows.
(A messenger came from the devil’s side.)
OK.
“… messenger?”
Kim Yoo-hyeon’s eyes also twitched.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
At Mercenary Castle, Im Hanna was climbing the stairs, sighing heavily. She finally returns to the castle of her dreams, but her complexion is anything but bright. Well, who would be smiling brightly in the current situation? .
Soon Hannah entered the hallway, quietly opened the door, and looked inside. She walked carefully and as she sat down on her chair placed next to the bed, her eyes fell on Ansol, who was lying dead on her sheet. Her eyes are tightly closed, but she is breathing heavily as if she is tired, and sweat is beading on her forehead.
Of course, the treatment has now been completed and there are no external problems.
But that made me even more worried.
I poured out healing spells whenever I could, and used as many as two bottles of elixir. There might be some reaction at this point, but Ansol is still unable to come to his senses. Moreover, she had just come to replace Shin Jae-ryong and heard that there was not much difference from the first time.
‘Maybe my brain or soul took a hit… .’
“What am I thinking?”
Im Hanna was startled and shook her head, tapping her temple. She then picks up a clean cloth and starts wiping her sweaty forehead.
“After a while… . Sol. Are you sorry about your sister? She was left alone with strange thoughts… . “I will punish you.”
Although she knew that there was no way she was listening, Im Hanna spoke with a sad smile.
“But our Sol… . Are you going to get up quickly? yes? huh?”
And then he gently approaches my face with a mixture of worry and affection.
It was that moment.
Flash!
“Mommy!”
In a split second, Im Hanna spread her arms wide and hit her butt with a scream.
“Eh, eh?”
Even in the midst of the panic, the two bewildered eyes stared blankly up at the bed.
The two eyes, which had clearly been closed just a moment ago, suddenly opened wide and frighteningly. I approached her face with the intention of kissing her forehead, but Ansol’s eyes suddenly opened right in front of her nose. So how can you not be surprised?
But that wasn’t important right now.
After a while.
“So, Sol… ?”
Ansol slowly,
“… … .”
However, he subconsciously raised his upper body with unusual force.
