00702 The changing present and future. ————————————————– ———————-=
Buzz buzz buzz!
White heavy rain intersects and pours down in all directions. The downpour of light tried to wrap around the six crystal pillars floating in the air like an angry whirlwind, but then suddenly changed direction and began to gather in the center inside the pillars. The raining down rays of light gathered in a spiral shape and became one huge sphere emitting dazzling light.
As the sphere grew larger, the halo of light gradually disappeared, scattering fragments in all directions.
Eventually, when all the light except the sphere disappeared, the space that had been undulating like waves became quiet for a moment.
However, it was only a fleeting moment.
Soon, the sphere created in the center of the pillar began to rotate violently, and suddenly a huge explosion occurred.
Quang!
At the same time as a terrifying explosion, a ray of light extended from the sphere and struck the six crystal pillars that were standing around in a dazzling manner. The crystal pillar absorbed the light aimed at it and began to emit brilliant light. At the top of each pillar, six holy flames burn simultaneously, brightening the surrounding area.
Wooooow.
A soft sound followed. The six lights connected from each torch intersect like threads, drawing a six-pointed star. Eventually, the completed six-mangseong radiated enormous magical power that shook the surrounding space, and once again spewed out a huge pillar of light.
The realization of ‘Heaven’, which is connected to all summoning rooms in the hall plane, has now reached its final stage.
The pillar of light soaring high into the sky dropped rays of light in all directions, like a fountain exploding water. The light that fell in a smooth arc dotted the air and began to change into some kind of shape. The number was so close to exceeding 100,000 that it was difficult to even count it.
After a while.
– Recite. About the light that became the creator.
A quiet voice echoed in the space.
– Praise, for you are full of grace! May the light be with us!
Then, all the angels who had been summoned responded in unison. The beautiful feast of colorfully shining hair and quietly fluttering wings was so magnificent that it could be considered truly spectacular. It was a very majestic atmosphere, filling up a huge space, yet not one person opened their mouth.
– Everyone be respectful.
The angel at the highest point, showing the most wings, said while sitting in the air. A light that encompasses all angels. It was the great angel Gabriel.
– The person proposing the meeting goes forward.
– 9th rank angel Hereis. We obey the command of light.
As Gabriel commanded, a benevolent looking angel with dazzling golden hair walked to the center.
– Let’s get started right away.
– yes. Then, in my capacity as a proposer, I would like to announce the holding of this meeting. Before that, first of all, the people who gathered here in heaven… .
Hereis, who was talking while looking in all directions, suddenly began to trail off. Because he received a signal with a glance from the angels who were looking at him. In the air, Gabriel was resting his chin on one hand and playing with his hand gracefully with his eyes half closed. As if he was just telling me to move on.
– Well then, let’s skip the procedure and get straight to the point.
Skip the procedure. It wasn’t something an angel of only the 9th rank would say, but if Gabriel had told him to, the story would be different. All the angels in the hall adjusted their posture and concentrated on what was to be said.
– This has already been discussed for a long time. Everyone here already knows what I’m trying to say. So rather than repeating the same thing, it would be better to show the video first.
Hereis stretched out his right arm. Then, a bright ray of light suddenly erupted into the empty air, and a translucent screen began to be created.
– What I’m going to show you now is a video that captures the daily life of the West Continent. As an aside, this video was made with special permission for this purpose. But as you know, our helpers cannot interfere with your privacy. Peeking out of content out of personal curiosity is strictly prohibited, so please keep this in mind.
As soon as the lingering words ended, a video began to appear on a huge screen.
When it first appeared, it was a shabby place that looked like a ruin. In the center of the video, there was a sturdy man floating in the air with his limbs, including his neck, tied to ropes. And even the user at the end of each rope, giggling and holding on to the rope. It’s like a situation where you feel like you’re going to have a body massacre.
– Pull! Pull!
– Pull them all at once! Hahaha!
It’s not that it wasn’t, it really was. The moment the “pull” slogan came out, the users holding the rope pulled the rope all at once. Pop! The flesh is torn and the man lets out a desperate cry. The screams continued until the neck wrapped in rope rolled to the ground and the limbs were torn apart.
– Let’s watch the next video.
When Hereis lightly snapped his fingers, a new video began to play. It was a night street with a night view and countless onlookers.
– Haha! Add more! Try harder!
– After acting so stubbornly, you end up gasping for air! If you strip it all down, there’s nothing special about being a guardian, right? Wahahaha!
In the center where vulgar slang was rampant, atrocities of language tyranny were being committed. A giant man with a 2-meter-tall body and a woman with a relatively slender body are naked and stuck together.
no. To be more precise, the giant was pushing it unilaterally. The woman was just crying like her child, begging for her life.
– Waaaaaaa!
At that time, wild cheers and applause suddenly followed. Her man suddenly grabbed both of her legs and tore them off, starting from the crotch. The woman sensed her and fought back, but in the end her head was torn in half. As the giant lifted the corpse in both hands, another shout went up.
The video ended there.
– The man in the first video is Michael Logan. He was the guardian who succeeded Lawrence after his death by Simon. And the woman in the second video is Vivian Christine. She was also the guardian who succeeded Logan. The carefully chosen guardians of the Western Continent were murdered one after another. To the outlaws.
Herace’s further explanation resonated in the quiet hall. Outlaw. It refers to a user who ignores the law and behaves recklessly, and has some similarities with the vagrant of the Northern Continent.
– Actually, there is no need to say this. As I said at the beginning, the video just captured the ‘daily life’ that takes place in the Western Continent. Then I’d like to ask you a question. Do you really think it’s worth it for us to invest any more money in this western continent?
Herace said it was everyday life. And that was a stark reality. Although Simon died in the war with the Northern Continent three years ago, that did not mean that the continent was free from chaos.
no. Rather, it is correct to say that the confusion has worsened. From the time it first accepted the devil’s hand, the Western Continent had been transformed into a lawless zone. But isn’t it unlikely that things will become clean just because one big villain dies?
Once again, the outlaws that Simon had been oppressing came rushing out and ran wild as if it were their own world, and the Western Continent was divided into three groups and reached a point where nothing could be done.
– I think a little differently. Herace.
At that time, a quiet voice echoed through the space from somewhere. He seemed to be a higher-ranking angel than Hereis, the proposer, as he was lifted up from quite high up.
– The fact that the guardian was killed is certainly unfortunate, but in the larger view, it is nothing more than a miserable human death. Isn’t that dark side everywhere in Hall Plain? This is not just a problem in the Western Continent.
But Hereis calmly shook his head.
– Currently, the number of users in the Western Continent barely exceeds 10,000. Over a period of nearly three years, more than 30,000 users faced such a miserable situation. Do you see this as a normal category?
– Users who are lacking can just summon a new one. The ugly atmosphere can be returned to normal. Although the current situation is difficult, I don’t think it’s at a level where we have to make an extreme decision to close down a continent. This means our helpers need to try a little harder.
– Although this is a straightforward theory, in the end it will be like pouring water into a bottomless pot.
– You are sure. Without any basis.
The last words heard were a bit of a cold sneer. However, Herace was not shaken at all. He opened his mouth with eyes full of confidence.
– If there is evidence, I will show it to you.
As soon as he said those words, a new video started playing on the screen that had stopped. And the video that appeared showed the height of chaos. An inn of beginnings with a blue curtain. Eventually, as the prospective users opened the door and came out on their own with puzzled expressions, a group of users, or rather outlaws, attacked. And the subsequent rape, arson, murder, cannibalism… .
The video was soon filled with screams, depicting a picture of hell.
– You’ve seen it. For nearly a year, we have been supplying prospective users intensively in the Western Continent. The number is approximately 8,000 people. However, the number of people currently surviving is less than 30%. Most of them either fell into slavery or became outlaws.
Herace looked around the audience. Everyone is watching the video with bated breath. There are probably some angels you know, and there are probably angels you don’t know. Basically, if the continent they are in charge of is different, they don’t pay attention unless it’s something very serious.
After thinking that, Herace suddenly brought up a slightly different topic.
– Probably everyone knows. that… . no. This is a user named Kim Soo-hyun, for whom Seraph is an assistant.
Kim Soohyun.
As soon as that name was mentioned, a slight commotion arose in the previously solemn hall. Even Gabriel, who had been resting his chin as if he had no interest, slightly raised his eyes.
– User Kim Soo-hyun has achieved truly incredible achievements so far. He thoroughly destroyed all of the plans of those wicked demons, and as a result, we were able to gain enormous benefits from the causality we shared with each other. And the majority of the profits were invested for the purpose of purifying the polluted Western Continent. … The result is the video you just saw. The Northern Continent had the talent, but the Western Continent took the money. no? I couldn’t even save enough money. If all of those profits, even just half, were invested in the North Continent. What would have been the results by now?
It was a voice with some bones.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Hereis flicked his hand again.
– Atlanta succeeded in targeting the North Continent this time. Among them, this is a video showing the scenery of the southern city.
At that moment, a new screen suddenly appeared on the screen. This time the atmosphere was a little different from the previous video. Although the setting is a very old-looking city, countless users are busy moving about. Together with residents, we demolish old buildings and build new ones. Everyone works hard and acts sincerely.
– The difference is significant. It’s too severe. In one continent, a strategy that was expected to take another 2 to 3 years was successfully achieved. Also, instead of conquering a certain continent, people are living only driven by desire and pleasure.
No other voices are heard anymore. Everyone knows this without needing to elaborate. What are the differences between the videos depicting the daily lives of the two continents?
– On the other hand, on the Western Continent, three days ago, Guillotine, a large city that was the last bastion, fell to outlaws. Additionally, outlaws do not respond to calls at all, and even if they try to call a normal user, they now have to risk their lives to infiltrate the temple. Do you really think this is a situation where salvation is possible?
Herace pinched sharply.
Eventually, Hereis lowered his arms and let out a soft sigh. The image gradually faded and the screen slowly disappeared.
– I won’t talk any longer. You are the one who creates light. please.
Have you made up your mind? A determined light flashed through Hereis’ eyes. Then she politely turned her body and bowed her head towards the highest point.
– Make a suggestion.
Gabriel nodded his head and spoke in an indifferent voice.
Hereis opened his mouth.
– 9th rank angel Hereis. We can no longer sit idly by and watch this waste of meaningless causality. At the same time, it was determined that the Western Continent could no longer recover.
and.
– Therefore, we formally propose the closure of the Western Continent.
Finally, an agenda discussing the closure of the Western Continent was formally proposed.
The storm that will bring great changes to Hall Plain has finally begun to flap its wings.
