Episode 228: Finally Victory
The deepest part of the great mountain range where dwarves live.
Deep, deep underground, a terrible thing lurked.
A spider with as many as a thousand eyes, the thousand-eyed spider.
A legendary monster that comes out of the mountain range when the time of destruction comes and devours the world.
Its thousand eyes only pursue murder and evil deeds, and the spider web it creates by distorting space and dimensions cannot be destroyed by any means.
The book that prophesied the end of the world said this:
‘The spider, which bursts out by tearing open the mountain range that embraced it like tearing open its mother’s womb, will search for a target to kill with its thousand eyes flashing.’
‘The poison that comes out of its mouth will melt all that is good, and the web that comes out of its tail will entangle the world… … When the spider that settles in the mountains weaves space and time to make its home, no hero will be able to harm it.’
‘I will chew on the heads of heroes, pierce the hearts of soldiers, and wrap the kingdom tightly around it, sucking its sap. My name is Cheonan Spider.’
A terrifying message: when the Thousand-Eyed Spider awakens, no hero will be able to overcome it, and the kingdom will be nothing more than a meal.
A monster that weaves space and time like a spider’s web to trap and kill enemies who approach it.
Distorted space, when you wander alone.
It was also called the red moon spider because its eyes in the sky resembled a red moon.
This terrifying being lurked deep within the mountains, waiting to one day come out into the world and bare its vicious teeth.
‘The time is coming.’
And then he finally sensed that his time was coming.
I sensed a malice creeping in from outside the mountain range.
So, he also gradually prepared to wake up.
In the mythical age, long ago, the dwarves who were originally supposed to seal the Thousand-Eyed Spider in the mountains and keep it from ever waking up have forgotten their duty.
The blacksmithing talent granted to them was none other than a blessing to confront and seal the Thousand-Eyed Spider.
But as time passed, they forgot their duties and became intoxicated with the power they had in their hands.
They used the talents given to them to protect the world only for their own glory, and they are torn apart by their stubbornness and selfishness.
Of course, it was Cheonan Spider herself who encouraged this stubbornness and whispered to them to fight back.
‘The barrier has weakened.’
The dwarves forgot, but in fact, each tribe and the city they live in is a barrier to suppress the Thousand-Eyed Spider.
They were supposed to act as a seal to prevent the return of the Cheonan Spider by communicating closely, but they became hostile to each other, broke off the connection, and weakened the barrier.
The spider opened the gap and forced its poisonous breath into the mine.
The very source of poison.
‘Yes, fight. Hate each other. Be trapped in poison and die slowly.’
A means to block out the dwarves’ hammering and singing.
Their hammering and singing were also elements that formed the seal.
Things went smoothly.
It certainly was.
But at some point, Cheonan Spider’s arrangements started to go awry.
‘What the heck, how do you move through the poison?’
As they began to roam the mines filled with the toxic breath, even the dwarves who had been feuding and stubborn among themselves began to unite as one.
I tried to somehow prevent the union of the dwarves.
‘What on earth is going on?’
If you feel like you have a connection, you have to find the answer somewhere.
Even to the point of building a new metropolis.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask the devil for help.
It was a blow to the pride of the Cheonan spider that was said to devour the world, but there was nothing it could do.
Just go out.
It’s a momentary humiliation.
Only when the great evil Balrog came with his forces did they finally feel certain of victory.
Although he may be inferior to Balrog, he is also a legendary demon.
The dwarves, who are just beginning to regain their power, are no match for them.
As expected, Balrog lived up to Cheonan Spider’s expectations.
The dwarves’ rebellion was meaningless.
When the demons who had taken over the mine in an instant, led by Balrog, were about to storm the city built by the dwarves.
‘What? Where does this energy come from?’
A thousand eyes widened at the powerful presence felt through the gap in the barrier.
Even though it was a being recorded in myths and prophecies of destruction, I felt a sense of oppression that made me cringe.
That too, thanks to the energy felt from beyond the barrier!
‘There is such a being left in this world?’
Even in the mythical era when all kinds of monsters were abundant, I have never felt this level of presence.
And it wasn’t long before I felt its presence.
‘Balrog… is gone!’
The great evil Balrog melted away in an instant!
The Cheonan spider was shocked.
Even though Balrog is inferior to him, he is one of the great demons.
Even the Heavenly Spider in its prime during the mythical era of the past could not kill Balrog in such a short period of time.
Even if you’ve prepared your webs and traps thoroughly, you’ll still have to fight for several days and nights.
However, Balrog dealt with the unknown opponent in one go.
Truly overwhelming strength.
What’s even more shocking is…
‘Dimension, did you open a dimension? Where? Far, far away?’
A dimensional gate opened by the opponent.
It was clear that it was a Thousand-Eyed Spider that hunted its enemies by distorting space and time.
How far into the dimension have we now opened, and how much effort is required to make this happen.
But the opponent beyond that barrier opened a passage between distant dimensions as easily as eating a light snack.
I was scared.
Fear that the other person will discover him, fear that his anger will be directed at him.
Fortunately, the presence that had filled the mine soon disappeared, but the Cheonan Spider could not recover from the shock.
‘What the hell was that? What was that just now? What passed? What was outside?’
The bastard roared, his thousand eyes rolling around and his body twisting inside the barrier.
Meanwhile, the demons were still in a state of confusion, unable to come to their senses.
In the end, Cheonan Spider’s plan was completely ruined once again.
The demons were defeated by Baldur and his chieftains who returned, and the Thousand-Eyed Spider, which should have grown in size due to their malice, was unable to recover its strength.
Only then did I realize.
‘It was because of the author!’
The reason all of his plans failed was because of the Absolute Being lurking beyond that dimensional gate!
I was resentful, angry, and afraid.
Even if you break through the barrier, would you be able to defeat that powerful being? No, you would end up like Balrog.
‘Don’t come. Don’t come!’
Where did the ambition to destroy the world go? It seems like he would rather not be noticed.
For a moment, I felt relieved as it was quiet outside.
Eventually, the dwarves noticed the presence of the Thousand-Eyed Spider and prepared for battle.
The Cheonan Spider made the dwarves doubt themselves in order to survive.
Rely on the Great Being you serve, for without Him you are nothing but useless garbage.
The Cheonan spider’s trick seemed to be working well.
Until the great being the dwarves serve opens another dimensional gate.
‘This is unfair. This is unfair!’
In the deepest darkness of the barrier, the Thousand-Eyed Spider rolled its thousand eyes and expressed its discontent.
Every time a crisis arose, that powerful being came to the aid of the dwarves, so there was no way to win.
This future was not originally planned.
The goal was to enslave the dwarves, endlessly produce weapons, arm the demons, and then wipe out the humans.
If something goes wrong, it goes very wrong.
A loud voice echoed through the barrier that had formed at that moment.
“Listen, you dwarfs’ arch-enemy, the Thousand-Eyed Spider! Here comes Baldur, the chieftain of the dwarves!”
It was Baldur’s cry.
He looked at the barrier where the Cheonan Spider was hiding, took a deep breath, and continued shouting.
“We know that it was your trick to deceive and destroy us all this time! So the dwarves have arrived to end the long grudge and erase you from the mountains! Show yourself immediately! You cowardly spider!”
Then the dwarves’ passionate shouts echoed from deep within the mountains.

At the dwarves’ shouts, the Thousand-Eyed Spider trembled and rolled its eyes.
What should I do? Could it be that there’s a dimensional gate opening behind them?
The Cheonan Spider, who had been assessing the situation for a moment, tilted his head.
There is no sign of anything.
‘Could it be that only dwarves came?’
The Thousand-Eyed Spider, noticing that there was no great being or scary being behind the dwarves, burst into laughter, revealing its ferocious teeth.
“Hahahaha! You foolish bastards!”
No matter how weak he may be, he is not someone who can lose to the likes of dwarves.
How arrogant of you dwarves!
The Cheonan Spider appears, inserting its foot into the open gap in the barrier and tearing the space apart.
“Did you think that someone like you could defeat me?! Even bringing the one who saved you wouldn’t be enough!”
The Cheonan Spider, who had been talking up to that point, stopped talking and tilted his head.
Are the things in front of me now dwarves?
The dwarves are nowhere to be seen, and the giant piles of iron are all aimed at the Thousand-Eyed Spider.
Of course, various robots and weapons were created using the know-how accumulated from past battles with demons.
[We are currently analyzing the enemy’s strength based on the battle data accumulated so far.]
The ego steel that the dwarves had painstakingly created scoured the Cheonan spider.
For some reason, even the dwarves, who should seem easygoing, began to feel intimidated.
“The answer lies within us.”
“Believe in yourself.”
“He is watching. Do not doubt.”
“Let’s win.”
The dwarves’ resolve became as firm as iron, and they quickly aimed their best, sharpened weapons at the Thousand-Eyed Spider.
Did they know that they were originally destined to be destroyed by the Cheonan Spider?
They almost became slaves after meeting Jinsol and gaining a life, but Jinsol saved their fate once again.
The result was an eternal sleep with the Thousand-Eyed Spider who was said to destroy the world.
The one who faced these results was Han Garam.
Inside the gate, I saw the city of the stopped dwarves and the celestial spider trapped in the furnace.
And now fate has changed once again.
“attack-!”
The dwarves directly search for the Cheonan Spider and attack it.
I poured all the combat know-how and power I had accumulated so far into the Cheonan Spider.
The fight was fierce.
One day, two days, three days, four days.
The fighting continued day and night, and the sound of gunpowder and mana exploding echoed through the mountains.
It wasn’t easy.
Even the Gigant and animal-shaped golems that had been showing off their winning streak against demons were destroyed without a fight.
But it wasn’t a waste at all.
[Analyze the target’s power. Memorize the target’s combat pattern. Activate deep learning. Learn the target’s behavioral pattern.]
Because all the battles happening now are being used as learning materials for Ego Steel.
Everything is just a stepping stone to victory.
The fight continued, deep into the night of the sixth day.
[Completed analysis of the target’s combat pattern. Entering combat mode.]
Finally, Ego Steel moved.
Ego Steel, which surged forward like a wave, soon transformed into the form of a lion and bit the exhausted Cheonan Spider.
How long will it take for you to drive back your enemies in the ensuing melee, sometimes in the form of a wild beast, and sometimes in the form of a giant?
The Cheonan Spider tried to escape by distorting space.
[This is a pattern that has already been analyzed.]
Before I knew it, I had transformed into liquid and was chasing the Cheonan Spider, swirling around in the distorted space.
What was even more surprising was…
[Reconstruct and reproduce the phenomenon that has been analyzed.]
I copied the Cheonan Spider’s specialty, spatial distortion, and gradually took over its space as if I was eating up land.
Of course, at first, the Cheonan spider had the upper hand.
However, Ego Steel, who had already figured out all of his opponent’s patterns, showed off surprising moves and gradually took over the space.
“That’s ridiculous!”
In the end, Ego Steel completely engulfed Cheonan Spider.
One by one, a thousand eyes began to lose their light and go out.
The last remaining pupil trembled violently and let out a final scream.
The merciless ego steel swallowed the Cheonan spider without leaving a trace.
The silence that followed.
Did Ego Steel and the Cheonan Spider exchange their lives? When I thought about that.
[Remember the target’s form. Analyze its abilities, identify its constitution and components, and begin work on improving it.]
Ego Steel moved again and infiltrated the dead Cheonan Spider’s body, raising him up.
The dwarves all exclaimed in admiration at the magnificent sight.
The moment when the final weapon was born with the form of a Cheonan spider added to the existing Ego Steel.
“Let’s go outside.”
Baldur and the dwarves set out from the mines, and Ego Steel, in the form of a celestial spider, weaved space to lead them out.
The moment he finally set foot outside the mountain range, Baldur was thrilled to see the rising sun.
Finally I won, I was wandering in the dark for such a long time.
Under the bright sun, the distant mountain range and green leaves were beautiful.
The sight of nature showing off its rugged beauty, different from that of a farm, is dizzying.
“Today we have finally achieved victory and freedom.”
Baldur’s hoarse voice echoed faintly.
Everyone looked at the chieftain as if they were looking at the sun.
“We have overcome discord and achieved unity, and have forged faith over stubbornness! We have gained the hammer of certainty over doubt! May the future of the dwarves be glorious!”
The dwarves responded to his excited cries.
“I dedicate today’s victory and glory to the Great Being! I declare this day the Day of Truth and Truth! It will be a day to eat, drink, and praise the Great Being for seven days!”
The dwarves responded to Baldur’s declaration with a shout.
We prepared a festival that will last a week.
When Jinseol told us about bibimbap, pig’s feet, bossam, meat pie, etc., we were about to start the festival by piling them up.
“Oh, something is coming?”
“huh?”
Everyone was nervous about the approach of a stranger.
Are you saying that there are still dangers lurking in the mountains?
But it was none other than the dwarves who approached them.
“Elf?”
Elves who lost the World Tree and were wandering around.
He was chased and chased by demons and entered the only unpolluted mountain range, and then heard a commotion and came looking for it.
Unlike the dwarves who were delighted, the elves hesitated.
The eyes looking at the long-time enemy were full of wariness.
Baldur, who was at a loss at the unexpected encounter, quickly searched through his pockets and took out a box he had previously received from Elena.
He wiped the dirt off his hands and handed the box to the elf.
Then, the elf’s eyes widened as he opened the box.
“The sprout of the world tree!”
What was inside was none other than a sprout growing on the count’s head.
The fact that the World Tree still boasts its green color even after quite a long time has passed means that it is alive.
But why does a dwarf have this token?
Baldur was the first to answer the question.
“I got this from an elf named Elena. She told me to show this to the elves I meet.”
“Elena! Is Elena alive?”
“Yes. I am alive and well with the World Tree.”
The elf who heard Elena’s name burst into tears, and the elves standing behind her also shed tears at the surprise and joyous news.
Baldur, who was looking at them, smiled and pointed to the abundant table.
“Please eat first. It looks like you have a lot to talk about.”
I had a pleasant feeling that the week-long festival would be very short indeed.
