The story about her father, Lee Si-hyeon, was told by Shin Eun-jeong, not Yoon Jeong-su.
“The strongest defeated the demon god, but could not kill it.”
This was a fact I also knew.
I don’t know if it was the author’s intention, but in order to make the demon god appear again in part 2, Choi Kang, the main character of part 1, was unable to kill the demon god and ended up sealing it.
“Do you know the gate clearing formula?”
“… Defeat the boss monster?”
“okay. Those who are now called the Seven Heroes defeated the Demon God at the final gate. As a result, we were able to clear the gate and come out.”
“The demon was alive?”
“okay. “With their power, it was impossible to completely destroy the demon spirit.”
Shin Eun-jeong said that among the seven heroes who came out, the one who was in the best condition was the strongest.
The survivors of the death squad cheered as they saw Choi Kang come out of the final gate.
This is because it was thought that Choi Kang and the others had defeated the demon god.
However, people who saw Choi Kang’s urgent-looking face said they sensed something was wrong.

“Huh, huh.”
After coming out of the gate, Choi Kang quickly went to see Si-hyeon Lee.
“You succeeded!”
Lee Si-hyun welcomed Choi Kang with Choi Woo-hee.
“Lee Si-hyeon!”
“why?”
“in… “The demon spirit is alive.”
“what?!”
“what? “Then how on earth did you get out of the gate?”
“Strongest!”
“I don’t have time to explain. Barrier. I need your barrier. As soon as the kids come out, close and seal the gate. Then we can go back to the old world we wanted so much!!”
Lee Si-hyeon was shocked as he faced the eyes filled with the utmost madness.
“wait for a sec… My barrier will break quickly if I don’t maintain my strength… … .”
“I do not have time! Sihyeon! “Once the demon awakens again and comes out of the gate, it’s really over!”
Lee Si-hyeon clenched his fists at the strongest cry.
“honey! no!”
Choi Woo-hee intuitively knew what Lee Si-hyeon was thinking.
“Why, Sihyeon has to make a sacrifice!! Are you saying you are the strongest? If the seven strongest people went in, they should have killed the demon god and come out!!”
Hearing Choi Woo-hee’s shout, Choi Kang glared at Choi Woo-hee.
“we are… did my best.”
“It’s Yoo Da-hee! “Yoo Da-hee is coming out with the other kids!”
Lee Si-hyeon, who saw others coming out of the final gate following Choi Kang, looked back at Choi Woo-hee.
“Sorry. Woohee. “I guess I have to go.”
“you!”
“You said you wanted to raise Siwoo in a normal world like before. don’t worry. I’m not going to die. “I will always be here.”
At those words, tears flowed from Choi Woo-hee’s cheeks.
“revelation.”
“Don’t fuss. “Because the barrier is already in place.”
Choi Kang looked around at Lee Si-hyeon’s words.
A translucent membrane surrounded the final gate.
“Close the gate with the key. I will keep the seal until I die. In return for my sacrifice, Choi Kang, there is one thing I will do for you. When I die, the seal is released again. Then, we will protect the world from being destroyed again. “That is the condition for me to seal the final gate.”
“I promise.”
Lee Si-hyeon received the promise and the moment the awakened people, now called the Seven Heroes, came out of the gate.
The gate was closed with the key and the final gate was sealed.
[The final gate has closed. The status window disappears. Until the seal is released, all gates in the world will cease activity.]

“In fact, it was your father who saved the world, not the Seven Heroes. “This is Lee Si-hyeon.”
Those words reminded me of a sentence from Part 1 of Aise.
[After defeating the Demon God, Choi Kang came out of the final gate with his colleagues. The final gate has been closed. In this way, peace came back to the world.]
For some reason, I felt like I was ending Part 1 in a haphazard manner. After that, the author must have rearranged the settings when he started serializing Part 2, and the settings that Shin Eun-jung mentioned could have been added at that time.
Because the author had the authority to edit the work.
The reader cannot know what the writer did not mention.
I thought of the author who threw me into a novel.
I should have looked into it from the moment I hired him to ghostwrite.
In the first and second rounds, I was unaware of this fact because I only rode the designated route.
The moment I moved to see the (true) ending, the hidden settings began to pop out.
‘I thought we could all say Cha Cha Cha together, save all the main characters in this novel and see the ending. ‘That wasn’t it.’
Everyone’s happiness. In other words, a happy ending.
The ending I gave so far may have been a happy ending for me, but it may not have been so for the other characters in this novel.
I looked back at Choi Seol and Yoon Mir.
Yun Mir had a calm expression, and Choi Seol had his head down.
‘Yoonmir knew… … . Maybe Yoon Mir in the first and second rounds also knew this fact.’
Because I was the one who didn’t pay attention.
When I thought about that, I thought that other friends should also pay attention.
They were also children who had concerns they could not talk about.
I turned my head again and asked Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su.
“Well, you guys get it. “Where is your father now?”
Jeongsu Yoon sighed in response to my question.
“listen carefully. Lee Si-hyeon’s son. When you see your father again… … .”
Coogugung.
Before I could finish hearing what Jeongsu Yoon said, the door to the basement opened.
“… … Strongest.”
It was the Seven Heroes who came down to the basement.
Before we knew it, everyone had gathered here, starting with Choi Kang, Yoon Ga-on, Yoo Da-hee, Kang Yeon-geum, Kang Moo-seong, Ban I-soo and Claire.
The seven heroes who came down to the basement looked at us for a moment and spoke to Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su with an indifferent expression.
“long time no see.”
“Looking at what you guys caught, these kids must be amazing.”
“What do you plan to do with us?”
“How can I do it? I need to dig up information. What do you think? Did you find out anything?”
At Yoo Da-hee’s question, I looked at Yoon Mir and Choi Seol.
The two were not saying anything.
If I kept quiet like this, I would have to tell them what Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su said.
As I was wondering what information could be helpful to the Seven Heroes, I looked at Choi Kang.
It seemed different to think that the person I considered my teacher was the person who sacrificed my father.
At this point, the seven heroes gathered here.
Something was strange.
It’s just that everyone gathered here because of Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su.
“Everyone, how did you get here…” … .”
“I heard that Choi Kang captured the 2nd and 3rd branches of Rebellions here… … .”
I looked back at Claire after hearing Dahee Yoo’s words.
It was Claire who took the kids out, and she was the only one who could contact the other seven heroes.
But I was curious as to why other heroes heard the news from Choi Kang and not Claire.
“What information did you get?”
At that time, Choi Kang looked at me and asked.
If what Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su say is true, the people gathered here will not want to tell us the truth at all costs.
Especially for me.
Therefore, I decided to remain ignorant.
I didn’t know how Yoon Mir and Choi Seol would turn out.
Judging by his reaction, it seemed like he wasn’t going to say anything, so I was able to act naturally.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“okay?”
Yoon Ga-on looked at Yoon Mir, but Yoon Mir did not say anything.
“Then we will do the interrogation from now on, so you can stay out.”
I nodded at Ban Isu’s words.
I haven’t asked about Hwang Jae-hyuk yet, but I didn’t think it would matter.
Now, the remaining branch leader in Rebellions is the first branch leader. There was only Choi Cheol-ho, and when he found out that the 2nd and 3rd branch leaders were caught, there was only one thing Choi Cheol-ho could do.
“Then, let’s go.”
“okay. “Let’s talk about Seol later.”
“yes.”
That’s how I got out of the basement with Yoon Mir and Choi Seol.
Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su did not open their mouths until we left.
After coming out of the basement, I looked at Yoon Mir and Choi Seol and said.
“The story I heard earlier… … .”
Just as I was about to say that I wish I would keep quiet, Yun Mir cut me off and answered.
“It is the truth. “I guarantee it.”
I could see Choi Seol flinching at those words.
“Why are you sure?”
“I read the record about the dragon people that my father left in the depths of the Gaon Guild. “What was mentioned there was similar to what they said.”
After hearing that, I looked back at Choi Seol.
Choi Seol looked at me and said.
“Sorry… … . “I will apologize on behalf of my father.”
I asked with a chuckle as Choi Seol lowered his head with a very serious expression.
“Seol-ah, you don’t need to apologize. Because my father would have made the choice anyway. However, I feel like I need to make this clear. Choi Seol. “Whose side are you going to take?”
Choi Seol’s eyes began to waver at my question.
7.
“Choi Cheol-ho.”
“yes.”
“I heard the heads of branches 2 and 3 were also caught. “What do you plan to do now?”
Hwang Jae-hyuk looked at Choi Cheol-ho, the last remaining branch leader of Rebellions.
“… Please lend me your strength. “We can’t lose other branch leaders like this.”
“yes? So, I made a deal with Choi Kang?”
“yes? “What was your deal?”
Choi Cheol-ho’s eyes widened when he heard that he had made a deal with Choi Kang.
“The Fall of the Seven Heroes and the Key.”
“yes? “What does that mean?”
“I asked Choi Kang to sacrifice the other six people using the key as bait. Then, Choi Kang spoke. “You’re not going to mess with the kids?”
“What that means is… … .”
From Hwang Jae-hyuk’s words, Choi Cheol-ho was able to realize what Choi Kang was thinking.
The strongest was a masterpiece that created new heroes by sacrificing the heroes of the old era.
“Yes, the hope for humanity is that we want to save it. In the end, Choi Kang will betray the other six heroes and hand over their lives to us. “In return, they plan to receive the key to the final gate.”
“that… … .”
“We just need to lay the board. “Now the only one left is you, so you take the awakened members of the 1st branch and fight against Choi Kang and the others.”
Hwang Jae-hyuk’s words painted a picture in Choi Cheol-ho’s mind.
The moment when the Rebellions and the Seven Heroes began fighting and confusion arose in the area.
Hwang Jae-hyuk and the demons under his command appeared to attack the scene at that time.
There, the seven heroes will be completely defeated.
“Are you planning on killing the other heroes and then handing over the key?”
“huh? “Oh, you’re thinking wrong.”
Choi Cheol-ho tilted his head at those words.
“While you guys are fighting like crazy, who do you think I’m going to target?”
Choi Cheol-ho got goosebumps at those words.
Although they took on human form, they were still demons.
What the demon group, Hwang Jae-hyuk was aiming for was not the strongest, but the awakened seven new people who would challenge the final gate.
“Get ready. “I’m going to Awakening High School.”
