&
Uther and Cordelia have returned.
A fantastic couple – no, a fantasy couple.
Demon Slayer.
Guardian deities of the Pleiades.
It would not be a lie to say that the entire continent was shaken by the return of the two people.
It was the unvarnished truth.
Only a few people knew that Uder had opened the Nine Heavens and Nine Gates and been reborn as the guardian deity of the Pleiades, and that Cordelia had completely inherited the Solari’s divine position and been reborn as an archangel. But even for those who didn’t know about these facts – that is, the fact that the two had become gods – their return was bound to be a huge shock.
Especially to the Empire and the devil worshippers.
“This is crazy! In a situation where we were already struggling?!”
It was an empire that lost a large amount of asymmetric power due to the Catastrophe War.
However, an asymmetrical power was added to the Kingdom of Seilun.
They are also the strongest asymmetrical forces on the continent.
There was no one who did not know that Uther and Cordelia had played a decisive role in the fight in the Isles.
Some have argued that, no matter how great the two were, they were only teenagers, and most of the work would have been done by the five Paragon heroes – especially Landius – but few took this hypothesis seriously.
This is because the parties involved in the incident – that is, all five heroes of Paragon – declared that Uther and Cordelia were the first to win.
“He has transcended the Sword of Heaven.”
One who does not stop at reaching the horizon, but reaches beyond it.
It was just as the swordsman said.
Uther has reached a level that no one has ever reached since the opening of the Pleiades.
Even if he didn’t open the Nine Heavens Gate, Yuder was the owner of absolute swordsmanship.
It was impossible to defeat him with a sword.
The world’s strongest swordsman, acknowledged not only by Kenshin but also by Iron Man Landius and the Sword Demon Kamael.
The one who killed the mad god and saved the Pleiades.
But what was even more shocking was the fact that it wasn’t just Yuder.
“The Witch of Explosion······.”
In the Kingdom of Seilun, she is called the Angel of Explosion.
Either way, the return of Cordelia August Chase, who was seen as an ‘explosion’, was a disaster for all those who were hostile to the Kingdom of Cailun.
If Uther was the world’s strongest swordsman, Cordelia was the world’s strongest magician.
Unlike Uther, who could think of someone ‘worth fighting’ like Iron Man Landius, Swordmaster Kamael, or Swordmaster Lucas Hresvelg of the Sky, Cordelia had no rivals at all.
An overwhelming magical power that even several great wizards cannot handle.
The ability to control magical powers beyond common sense, the ability to perceive space beyond imagination, etc.
The existence of the ‘Golden Storm’, her long-term and symbolic weapon, was a mystery in itself to magicians.
“144,000 magic missiles? And you control them all?”
There was no point in discussing it any further.
It might have been somewhat more productive to discuss who was stronger between Uther and Cordelia.
“There is no way.”
When you have two people this powerful, it’s normal to try to cause discord in some way, but that was impossible with these two.
This is because the reason these two people became famous was truly extraordinary.
Two people who were already engaged but ran away in the middle of the night.
Even though their families acknowledge them and everyone around them acknowledges them, the two run away from home several times to go on a honeymoon.
A couple that is crazy.
The couple of the century who love each other to death.
It was a crowd.
It was absolutely impossible for these two to be separated artificially from the outside, unless they fought among themselves and broke up.
“Where in the world is there absoluteness! If we each send a handsome man or a beautiful woman to tempt each other······.”
Count Matoa, the Emperor’s loyal subject who had been shouting in a fit of rage, trailed off and sat down.
Because other nicknames that were attached to both Uther and Cordelia came to mind.
The world’s most beautiful woman.
The world’s most handsome man.
The most beautiful and handsome people in the world became a couple, so who would you include to seduce and sleep with them?
Of course, the beauty queen was not always pushed forward solely by beauty, but there was a limit to it.
“The bean pods were huge in the first place, weren’t they?”
Crown Princess Daphne was right.
Whoever he brought, in Uther’s eyes, they would only be seen as inferior to Cordelia.
The same was true for Cordelia.
“I can’t help but hope that you don’t become too active.”
“Ha… I guess that’s the only way.”
Bribing a beauty queen was impossible, but bribing her with money was also impossible.
Because they were both already incredibly rich.
Of course, human greed was endless, but even in the empire, there was no transcendent wealth that could tempt these two already extremely wealthy men.
Since neither of these things work, I have no choice but to just leave it alone.
If the people of the Empire had known one more truth – that the two people who had already become gods had effectively achieved immortality – they would have seriously considered exiling themselves to the Kingdom of Cailun, but fortunately no one knew that fact.
“At least the empire is fortunate.”
Fran continued, giggling.
“The Empire has no animosity towards the two of you as long as you don’t interfere with the Kingdom. But aren’t there groups of people who are hostile towards the two of you just by their very existence?”
Devil followers.
There was no way that the two people who had gone all the way to hell and returned after cutting the head of the overlord would have left them alone.
From the perspective of the devil’s followers, it was as if two ‘gods who kill devil followers’ had suddenly appeared.
“This is amazing. It’s good, but… it’s also a little disappointing.”
The reason Belkian made these remarks was simple.
This is because the Devil’s Mouth, which had been constantly pounding the eastern part of the Empire, began to withdraw to the East as soon as the news of Uther and Cordelia’s return was made public.
“Even the five heroes of Paragon would fade in the face of the guardian deities of the Pleiades.”
Fran said with a bit of self-mockery, and Belkian nodded with a bitter smile.
“So, shall we proceed now?”
Lena nodded at Kamael’s question.
Because both the Archangel and the Grand Monarch have resolved it.
Now peace has come to the Pleiades.
“We have to proceed.”
I absolutely have to do this.
I have to show this to the world.
“Isn’t that so?”
Landius responded to Lena’s question with a hearty laugh as always.
&
“I won’t make much of a fuss. Get married.”
“Yes, father.”
“Yes, Dad.”
At Count Chase’s command, Uther and Cordelia responded beautifully, and everyone watching smiled happily.
They were already a couple known to the world as the couple of the century, but shouldn’t they still do what they have to do?
Once the couple decided to get married, the location became an issue.
Because it wasn’t something that could be resolved quietly(?) within the family like it was with Gale and Adelia.
“The wedding must be held in the royal capital. I will lend you the royal palace.”
Henry II’s bombshell announcement shocked many people.
That would be the case, since it was a story about renting the royal palace for the wedding of a ‘mere subject.’
“Is that really okay?”
When Queen Justia asked him a question in a slightly testing manner, Henry II nodded firmly again and said:
“It’s okay. Because… this is the right thing to do.”
I had to do this much.
At the words of her husband and king, Queen Justia finally burst into laughter that she had been holding back.
“It was a cool saying, but it’s no longer cool.”
Because it’s the right thing to do.
Because the right thing to do is to do it.
It was really cool when I heard it last time, but why does it just make me laugh now?
“Because that’s also the right thing to do.”
Henry II laughed cheerfully, and his first wife, Justia, kissed him on the cheek.
In any case, the king’s will was strong, and surprisingly, no one opposed the king’s decision.
It was clearly a bombshell statement, but it didn’t feel like much of a bombshell.
“We need to do that much so that we can continue to remain in our kingdom.”
Uther and Cordelia have become too big.
No matter how powerful the 12 northern families and the 6 southern families were, they were ultimately subjects of the kingdom.
They had a duty of loyalty.
But if you look at loyalty, it was a kind of price paid for something you received.
In other words, it was a concept that was possible only when there was a certain degree of balance between giving and receiving.
Uther and Cordelia have already done so much for the kingdom.
And the power of the two people had already surpassed the power of the kingdom.
So, we need to treat it specially.
We need to give more.
So that they can continue to have a sense of belonging to the kingdom and cherish and love it as their own country.
“The wedding will be held in the royal capital. Proclaim this throughout the continent and call the guests together!”
The whole kingdom was moved by Henry II’s bold command.
Although it was not the wedding couple or their families who were watching from the sidelines, no one was offended by this.
Everyone was just laughing and enjoying this national – no, world-scale festival.
Time passed and people gathered.
The Empire officially dispatched envoys, and also searched for anyone within the country who had even the slightest connection to Uder and Cordelia and sent them to the royal capital where the wedding was to be held.
Thanks to this, Kaplan didn’t have to worry about how to cross the border, and Leon and Sarah were also able to head to the royal capital without worrying about what others thought.
Even within the kingdom, many people headed to the royal capital.
Both the twelve northern families and the six southern families sent people to the royal capital, and naturally, among them were Sylvia and Viola, who were close friends with Cordelia.
“Can people like us go?”
“Why not? The king and all the people will go. And we’re pretty close friends, right?”
Fabian, who was working as an unlicensed transporter in the County of Hresvelg, laughed heartily, and her words were true.
In any case, she was the one who kept in contact with Yuder and reported on the movements of the Devil’s Eye.
“The love between two people is finally coming to fruition!”
When Princess Darian spoke with the face of a girl yearning for love, the Duke of Spencer smiled happily, and this time Lord Cornwell, who was in charge of the guard, also smiled broadly.
“Of course we should go too.”
Princess Lyca, who had already left the Forest of Eternity to join the expedition, continued to stay in the royal capital, and Elune was no different.
And here again there were those who added:
“I can’t help but congratulate you.”
Siren Queen Illyana led her followers ashore.
Fairy queens from all over the continent gathered in one place after hundreds of years – no, thousands of years.
“Chocolate is delicious.”
“Have you ever tried this, ladies? It’s chocolate exclusively for fairies.”
“What? What is that? Was there something like that? Give it to me too. Give it to me too!”
Even the Fairy Queen is still a fairy.
Moreover, because they were queens and not the common people, they became even more fairy-like.
“We can’t be late either. We have to hurry!”
The rough avalanche walked on, and the great storm sighed and flicked his fingers to blow the rough avalanche into the strong wind. The beautiful snow wind that was watching from the side laughed and made the great storm’s wind stronger.
Everyone gathers.
To the royal road.
To bless the marriage of two people.
“This time, I came out without guarding the house!”
While the good-natured Gail was applauding Edward Chase’s words, the bride and groom were each facing their significant others in their own waiting rooms.
“dahlia.”
“Maya.”
Although they were in different places, the voices came almost simultaneously.
Dahlia laughed while crying, and so did Maia.
“It seems like only yesterday you asked me to go on a carriage date to the cliff······.”
Cordelia blushed at Dahlia’s words.
After the carriage date – that’s because it reminded me of that time when I jumped off the cliff.
‘You make me say all those embarrassing things to you!’
Besides, it was Cordelia’s job to hold it.
But now it’s okay.
Because Uther said a lot more embarrassing things.
Because I really did give you a lot of hugs like I promised back then.
Cordelia opened her arms, and Dahlia hugged her.
Uther also hugged Maia tightly, who was unable to hide her tears.
“It’s time.”
The voice of a palace official was heard from outside.
As he said,
Now is the time.
&
The wedding was held in the main square.
The main square was already full of people who had gathered from all over the continent, including the royal capital.
If you include the people who were packed into the building, there must have been hundreds of thousands of people – no, maybe even millions.
Jude and Cordelia were to hold their ceremony on the tall, large balcony that connected the Great Square and the Royal Palace.
Henry II and his wife Justa stood side by side, waiting for them.
Not only the royal family, such as Crown Princess Daphne, Prince Dion, and Princess Dairan, but also those who were allowed to stand on the balcony were present.
Count Bayer and Count Chase.
Gail Bayer and Adelia Chase, and this time Edward Chase, who somehow managed to get in.
And Dahlia and Maia too.
“Why are you nervous?”
“Oh, I’m nervous.”
Cordelia answered Uther’s small question honestly with a stiff face.
Because she was a very shy girl, one way or another.
[It’s okay, you’re the prettiest. Everyone is happy. Even if you make a little mistake, no one will say anything.]
Cordelia swallowed dry saliva at Melissa’s encouragement, and Uther held her hand tightly.
[You caught the Archangel and the Grand Monarch together, right? The wedding is nothing special, so you don’t have to be nervous. Just get rid of them.]
Uder laughed at Belencia’s cheerful remark.
For a moment, a mischievous question like “Have you ever been married?” crossed Belencia’s mind, but she held it back.
‘And I have a rough idea of what the answer will be.’
A woman who loves swords, loves swords, and becomes the sword itself.
Just then the music changed.
Henry II shouted again, and the sound of trumpets and other instruments filled the entire square.
Now is the time.
Now it was really time to go out.
“let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Would it be a lie if I said I was more nervous now than when I walked into the gates of hell?
Cordelia took a deep breath and looked up at Uther’s face.
‘I can do it.’
Because Yuder is with us.
Because the two of you are together, as you always have been and will always be.
Uther pressed his lips to Cordelia’s forehead.
The two looked straight ahead again and moved forward.
The wedding ceremony took place amid cheers that shook the entire plaza.
&
Night has come.
A cold and dark night.
But it was different from the night in hell.
A sea of stars that seem ready to pour down and two white, beautiful moons.
Uther and Cordelia lay side by side on the bed, looking out the window.
Uther hugged Cordelia’s shoulder.
Cordelia rested her head on Uther’s chest.
“Something… is strange.”
At Cordelia’s small whisper, Uther lowered his head.
Cordelia continued speaking, looking up at Yuder.
“Just everything. Yeah, everything.”
The story of meeting the Witch of the West Forest and Cassius in Hell.
The fact that Uder actually tried to sow discord among the overlords, and ultimately succeeded in doing so.
Defeat the Overlord and Archangel.
Salvation of the Pleiades.
A world where the promised destruction has disappeared.
But these weren’t the only things that were strange.
“Whenever we meet again··· I love you······.”
Cordelia blushed slightly, and Uther kissed her cheek.
He tickled her shy waist lightly, making her laugh again.
Uther always loved Cordelia.
Even though the memories weren’t consistent, the story always developed in a slightly different way.
“What was it like in a previous life? That is, on Earth.”
Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee, not Yuder and Cordelia.
Now both of them could see.
The reason I have no memories after logging out of Hero Chronicles 2 is because the memories after that do not exist.
The soul is divided.
With all the necessary information gathered and the time to reassemble the Pleiades, the souls of Yuder and Cordelia were separated from Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee according to the previously prepared agreement.
In other words, the story is that the soul was divided into two.
Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee remain on Earth.
Uder and Cordelia were reborn in the Pleiades with memories of Earth.
“What happened to the two of them?”
Are you still playing games with a LAN cable?
Or maybe we’ll meet by chance and share our love like we always have.
“Maybe they only found out after they started liking each other.”
Were you the yellow storm?
My brother is Outboxer 009?!
Cordelia recalled the scene for a moment and burst into laughter.
“Yeah, we live next door. But there’s quite an age difference, right?”
“Nazi. About nine years old.”
“Wow… He really is a thief. He’s a big thief.”
There were several other possible scenarios.
After fighting with each other and meeting up to have a date, they say things like, “Hey, you?” or “Huh? Why are you here?” – they meet at a get-together, get excited, and end up dating.
As we were talking about various assumptions, Cordelia suddenly burst into laughter.
When Yuder asked why, she smiled and answered.
“No, no matter what I do, the only conclusion I can come to is that you two are dating?”
Instead of laughing along with Cordelia’s words, Uther made a very sensitive face and spoke.
“Well, that’s because we’re two people. We’re destined to meet and love each other.”
“Ugh, I feel it.”
“So that’s good, right?”
As Uther spoke more shamelessly, Cordelia nodded with a confused expression on her face.
“I’m crazy too. Why do I like this kind of person?”
Cordelia’s grumbling could not continue any longer.
Because Uther had covered Cordelia’s mouth with his lips and tongue.
The two once again shared a passionate love affair.
Things to do next.
Drive out the demon followers, develop the territory further, and visit Earth once······.
The night passed and dawn came.
The two people who had spent the night in white leaned against each other and looked at the dawn rising in the distance.
“love you.”
“I love you too.”
We kissed again and the same words came to mind.
I said it out loud as if it were a magic spell.
“For a perfect happy ending.”
Happily ever after, just like in a fairy tale.
Cordelia looked at Uther.
He smiled brightly.
