“What would you do if your brother and the other colleagues were unable to clear the gate and came out and asked you to seal it?”
Lee Si-hyeon answered my direct question without even thinking about it.
“It’s not going to happen, but if it does happen, I’ll have to accept it. If only I could sacrifice my life so that everyone, my wife and colleagues could live in peace… … .”
It was an answer without any hesitation. I sighed after hearing that answer.
As expected, I thought you would answer like that.
If Lee Si-hyun’s thoughts are like that, it will be difficult to change those thoughts.
Lee Si-hyeon was a father who gave up even meeting his son to protect his beliefs.
“Right.”
At first, I thought I could be persuaded.
If Lee Si-hyeon somehow didn’t let the barrier unfold, Lee Si-hyeon could be happy.
But when I heard Lee Si-hyeon’s thoughts, I thought that wasn’t enough.
Choi Kang will not be able to defeat the demon god and will ask Lee Si-hyeon for help.
If Lee Si-hyeon refuses the strongest offer, what will happen to the demon god?
The final boss of the final gate, the demon god, who can be said to be the culprit of ‘Aise’.
As long as the guy was alive, if he didn’t open the barrier, it would be a fateful fate.
Perhaps all seven heroes who entered the gate could have been annihilated.
If that happens, the characters that appear in Part 2 of ‘Ise’ might change completely.
Ultimately, to prevent such things from happening.
‘I have to step forward and defeat the demon god.’
When the demon disappears, the final gate disappears.
It was clear that if the Gate disappeared, the development of the ‘post-apocalyptic world’ would change drastically.
But even taking that into consideration, in order to get a perfect ending, the demon god had to be defeated here, in Part 1.
‘If Lee Si-hyun unfolds the barrier, everyone will not be able to see a happy ending.’
If that happens, we may end up falling into a swamp of infinite regression.
That wasn’t what I was hoping for.
Everything is here and now. I had to finish it in the 4th round.
“That situation will not come. The seven people who entered earlier. The death squad was made up of only strong people. “I can’t imagine them losing.”
I nodded at Lee Si-hyeon’s words.
It was better to show it with your own eyes than to explain it a hundred times.
Coogugung.
It felt like the time was right.
The moment our conversation ended, the final gate began to vibrate.
2.
“W-what is it?”
“Have you cleared the gate?”
At Lee Si-hyeon’s words, we started running toward the direction of the final gate.
Choi Kang and the other six heroes were unable to defeat the demon god.
Because I knew that fact, I knew as soon as I felt the current vibration.
“It’s coming out.”
“what?”
Paaa-!
Lee Si-hyeon and the members of the death squad, who saw In-young escaping from the final gate, looked at the gate.
“The gate… “It doesn’t close, does it?”
“Surely you failed to clear it?”
“Strongest!!”
Choi Kang, who came out of the gate, ignored everyone’s calls and went straight towards Lee Si-hyeon.
“We don’t have time, Lee Si-hyeon. “I have a favor to ask.”
“ask?”
It’s this moment.
We have to stop the strongest here.
I stepped forward before Choi Kang told Lee Si-hyeon his proposal.
“brother.”
“Cheol-ho, the situation you are involved in right now is… … .”
“You’re not going to be able to defeat the demon, so you’re planning to have Lee Si-hyeon set up a barrier, right?”
Choi Kang looked at me with an expression of shock at my words.
An expression that asks how I know that.
Choi Kang wasn’t the only one who made that kind of expression.
Lee Si-hyeon also looked at me with a look of absurdity as the situation I asked about a moment ago became a reality.
“That’s not the right choice.”
“what… … .”
Lastly, I left a request to Lee Si-hyeon.
“Lee Si-hyeon, even if you open a barrier and sacrifice your own body, the world will not recognize you. And I won’t be able to see my future son either.”
“son?”
“If you want to live happily with Woohee and your son, never listen to what your brother says.”
Choi Kang, who heard everything I said, looked at me and shouted.
“Choi Cheol-ho!!”
“Brother, no. Strongest. Aren’t you ashamed of being the strongest awakened person? A truly powerful person does not depend on others. “The title of the strongest is someone who has the power to save everyone with his or her own strength.”
After catching a glimpse of the strongest, I approached the final gate.
“at there!”
There are a total of seven awakened people who can enter the final gate.
Because Choi Kang ran out of the gate, one more person was still able to enter the gate.
“Lee Si-hyeon, keep my words in mind.”
After shouting at Lee Si-hyeon, I threw myself towards the final gate.
“Choi Cheolho!!”
Then I heard the strongest howl in my ears.
3.
[You have entered the final gate.]
Came back in.
What is different from before is the fact that the demon god here is not a demon god who will be resurrected later, but a demon god who was first sealed.
As soon as I entered the gate, I summoned seven phantom beasts.
“I’m not Lee Si-woo now, so I guess I’ll be satisfied with this.”
The fortunate thing is that I have the talent for ‘transfer’.
I thought I could catch the demon god by utilizing the talents of the six heroes who entered the gate earlier.
‘Of course, if the transfer is revealed, Choi Cheol-ho will be suspected… … .’
The first thing to do was to stop this.
It was okay to resolve the rest after defeating the demon.
When I arrived at the gate’s boss room with seven phantom beasts, where the demon god was, I found six heroes with despairing expressions in front of the demon god.
“Choi Cheol-ho?”
“How could you… … .”
“Who is the strongest?!”
The six heroes who found me shouted, and I approached them.
“What is the demon’s condition?”
“No, what happened to Choi Kang, why did you come back in!!”
Yoon Ga-on got angry.
“Would you like to hit me? “My brother was thinking of sacrificing Lee Si-hyeon, so I came in.”
Wow.
“You bastard!!”
I deliberately made Yoon Ga-on angry, and I was able to get a good beating from Yoon Ga-on.
“stop!”
Yoo Da-hee tried to stop us, and when I saw that, I told her.
“Now that I’m already here, you can’t come in.”
“What should we do… … .”
“Are you annoyed? Do you feel like I ruined everything? Well then, let me ask you a favor. “You all hit me like Yoon Ga-on.”
“what?”
Perhaps he was really angry at me for asking him to hit me in this situation, and Kang Yeon-geum grabbed me by the collar.
“Did you know that if I hit you, I wouldn’t be able to hit you?”
Pow!
After getting hit in the face with a fist, I took a step back, and Claire swung her palm at my face.
“Is now the time to joke around?”
Wow!
“We made a decision… … .”
Puck, puck.
A tearful Yoo Da-hee patted my back, and Kang Moo-seong and Ban Yi-soo pulled away from Yoo Da-hee and looked at me and said,
“I don’t know why you’re asking me to hit you. “Because you want it.”
Wow.
Kang Moo-seong punched me in the stomach, and I bent down.
“Ugh.”
“Even after being hit like that, your eyes are still alive.”
Slurp.
Ban Yi-su, who had drawn his new sword, swung it.
Spot!
Ban Isu’s sword grazed my cheek, and blood flowed from it.
“I guess you’ve come to your senses, right?”
As Ban Isu said, I wiped the blood flowing from my cheek with the back of my hand.
“uh. “Thank you everyone.”
“Are you crazy?”
At Yoon Ga-on’s words, all six heroes looked at me.
I thought he was joking at such an important moment, but it didn’t seem like that.
“thank you.”
The place where the six heroes hit me throbbed.
Feeling this throbbing pain, I walked towards the demon god who was looking at me from afar.
I was wondering how the Demon God stayed still until the barrier was struck, and it turned out to be the strongest one. He used his hands to prevent the demon from moving and went out of the gate.
“Can I leave Choi Cheol-ho like that?”
“As long as Choi Kang doesn’t come back to the gate, I have to trust him.”
I stood in front of Azathoth, the demon god, while listening to the voices of the six heroes coming from behind me.
“It’s been a while, you son of a bitch.”
4.
-Who are you? Do you know me?
I didn’t know how Choi Kang kept him from moving, but now was his chance.
“You don’t need to know anything, you just need to know that you will die here.”
-You me? You’re not saying you’re going to kill me with those summons, are you?
“Of course not.”
As I instructed, seven phantom beasts surrounded Azathoth, the demon god.
There is a possibility that he might run away.
“Okay then, shall we get started?”
I checked the system message that was active earlier.
[I was physically attacked by an awakened person. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. We receive the talents of Ga-on Yoon, Kang Yeon-geum, Claire, Da-hee Yoo, Moo-seong Kang, and I-su Ban.]
Grumbling.
First of all, after activating Yoon Ga-on’s talent, my whole body began to change into that of the Dragon Warrior.
“What, what? That… … .”
Yoon Ga-on’s surprised voice was heard from behind.
After changing my appearance, I summoned Ban Isu’s divine sword in my right hand and Kang Wuchong’s shield in my left hand.
“Unbelievable… … .”
“That… my shield… … .”
At the same time, I summoned the four spirits, Claire’s specialty, to protect me, and used the alchemy of Kang Yeon-geum to create armor all over my body.
“heel.”
Finally, after healing the wounds from the six heroes, I glared at the demon god.
“how… “What happened?”
“Choi Cheol-ho can use all of our talents… … .”
I could hear the six heroes muttering at my changed appearance. I looked at the demon god and said.
“Do you think I can’t kill you even like this?”
But the guy’s reaction was strange.
-Right. It’s you.
“what?”
-What episode is it now?
I was startled by those words.
Demon God, Azathoth knows me?
The demon god of the 4th episode knows me. I didn’t expect this development at all.
‘How does he know me?’
The only ones who know that I can regress are the author and the readers.
The demon god could never recognize me.
‘wait for a sec… … .’
I felt like I knew the guy’s identity.
‘Readers’ don’t know that I came here now.
Then, the only thing left was the ‘writer’.
The ‘writer’ who was thought to be possessed by Jeong Joo-won was here.
“… “Why are you looking like that?”
-You know who I am? how? The beginning of your return must have been the beginning of Part 2… … .
I was convinced when I saw the Demon God mentioning Part 2.
And one more thing. I also found out that the writer inside the Demon God and the writer I met did not remember each other.
When I found out that fact, a good idea occurred to me.
“I met you in the previous episode.”
-Hoo? That’s interesting. There is another me in another episode. Did he send you to catch me?
“No, you came over to catch me.”
-hmm? wherefore? You probably know that if Part 1 changes, Part 2, which is the future, will also change, right?
At those words, I swung the divine sword I was holding and spoke.
“That’s exactly what I was aiming for.”
I plan to defeat you here and drastically revise ‘Aise’.
