I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines - I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines chapter 244

Chapter 244: The Divine Punishment (3)

Kugugugugung!

A strong vibration shook the heavens and the earth.

People trembled before the supernatural phenomenon that literally made the heavens roar.

It was a disaster.

The sky was dyed a dark purple color.

The light gradually approached the ground.

It’s the end.

It’s a disaster.

Some wailed and despaired.

Many held hands with their families and prayed earnestly.

“A message came from the Vatican. Everyone, pray faithfully to overcome the disaster······.”

“What good is prayer in this situation! We’re all going to die anyway!”

“The Saintess must have a plan. So we must prove our faith and give her strength-“

“That’s all a bunch of useless lies! I know it all! I know it all!”

The world, which had been fine just a few hours ago, was in chaos in an instant.

The world is ending.

A sense of crisis spread throughout the world, but

As if they had been waiting, the governments of each country responded quickly, and the chaos was brought under control.

The people of the Holy Kingdom gathered their hands to support the divine power.

The Suin in the north strengthened the guardian totems rooted in their land.

The elves gathered around the newly sprouted World Tree and added their strength.

The dwarves silently hammered iron and wound springs in their respective locations.

There was one common order that came down to all of them.

Through the communication lines of the old alliance that had already been dismantled.

It was a simple and clear directive that came from far away in the universe, beyond the sky.

“Don’t look up at the sky?”

What do you mean, don’t look at the sky?

An order that simply vaguely told them not to look at the sky, without any reason or explanation.

It was an order that even felt a little urgent.

As the leaders of each country pondered how to convey this order,

The situation that the directive had feared was immediately appearing in the sky.

“······?!”

The purple light awakens.

An intense flash of light that spreads like a star exploding.

What spread from it was nothing less than a huge cloud like the Milky Way.

People’s heads turned towards the sky one by one.

Those who looked at the sky once could not lower their heads again.

They forgot about their bloodshot eyes and looked up at the sky without blinking.

Intense power permeated their eyes and caused some kind of chemical reaction.

Overwhelming fear shattered everything that made humans human.

The brain malfunctioned and secreted strange hormones.

What was completed by this was a mindless monster that moved only by fear and the desire to survive.

“Kuaaak!”

“People are running wild!”

“Calm down, everyone! Please! This is not the time to fight each other······ Euaaak! aaak!”

The world was becoming a hell.

.

.

.

I hurriedly sent a telegram to the ground.

The communication network is already cut off.

The alliance’s command over each country has also been lost, so I don’t know if it will be implemented properly······.

But I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

“Well, are you doing well?”

“Yes. I’m doing well. Don’t worry. There’s no problem.”

Patting Nameless’s shoulder.

I couldn’t help but sweat coldly.

Mijung’s expression was also not bright.

“······This.”

By Nameless’s hand, the soul gradually pulled out of the flesh.

I can see it with my eyes that can see souls.

A beautiful cloud that ripples like the Milky Way is crawling out of the tentacles.

It is huge and magnificent.

If only it were just that······.

“······Clanan, that. No?”

“······.”

The problem is that it’s not just the soul that’s being pulled out.

An enormous amount of power leaks out from the passage through which the soul is pulled out.

Power that gushes out like a dark fog, covering the world in the form of a sense of oppression.

It’s a different level of quantity and concentration than the sense of oppression I had just cut.

A dark power that even feels a clear malice that wants to harm people.

The fumes have already spread to the world.

It’s obvious what’s going on on the ground.

“Crazy······.”

But what just reached the ground was only a faint first wave.After the second wave of the pungent smoke that is now gushing out in earnest, if we are hit by a third wave, the surface will be in a state that cannot be described as hell.

Can you cut all of that?

I can cut it.

It is entirely possible.

However, the problem is that by the time we cut all of that, the mortal world will already be tainted with that power and all the people will have been seasoned.

By the time we descend to the surface, there will not be a single being left on the continent that can be called a human.

‘Damn it. If I had just cut that thing down, it would have been over?’

Only then did I realize the identity of the unease I had been feeling until now.

Right now, thanks to Mumin’s meticulous control, he is extracting souls without causing much damage to the flesh.

Nevertheless, the amount of power gushing out from the tiny gap that has been created is that much.

What if I had cut Draken’s core in one stroke?

The power would have exploded like a yolk bursting.

Literally, without any time to react, this entire dimension would have been tainted with Draken’s power.

Our dimension would have met its end together with Draken.

And I confirmed that the [ 攻略成功 ] system window had appeared.

I would have watched the end of the mortal world that I had destroyed with my own hands and returned to my original world.

It is an ending that is more terrible than death.

Just imagining it makes my teeth chatter.

“······Eugene. Now, are you a little more. Sure?”

“Yes. I feel a little better now that I have confirmed that the path I have chosen is not wrong.”

“······Then, do you have any. Hesitation?”

Mijung, who looked up at me and asked expressionlessly.

At that question, my dazed mind came back to me.

It was not because I was confused by Draken’s intimidation.

It was because I was overwhelmed by the pressure of thinking that the lives of countless people depended on my choice.

That the existence of the continent that had flourished for tens of thousands of years was at stake.

That the smiles of the people I love and who love me were at stake.

It may be a bit too late to say this now.

I am the one who carries the fate of the mortal world on my back.

The things that I have been trying to think of lightly in order to forget the burden have now weighed me down heavily again.

My fight is no longer a fight to return.

I pretend to be selfish, saying that it is a fight for me.

But in the end, it is a fight for everyone, including me.

But as Mijung said.

What will be solved by being crushed by that burden?

I was supposed to face the grave responsibility, not tremble.

“······Eugene says no. But I. Know. Eugene is a hero.”

I am not a hero.

I have always thought so.

A being who receives God’s favor, is born with talent, and walks the path he walks without a single doubt.

Because I believed that that was a hero.

I am always afraid, confused, and hesitant.

I proceed by crying and eating mustard rather than gaining conviction.

That’s why I believed that I was far from being a hero.

“······My hero.”

But has being a hero been such a great thing?

Since when?

Woosh!

I can feel the strength gradually filling my body as I finish my determination.

It is not the petty power that is only exerted when faced with a crisis.

It is not even the power that wanders, afraid and terrified.

A hero is a being that is created.

If Mijung believes that I am a hero.

If people think of me as a hero.

Right now.

For a short moment.

I can become that hero.

Kuku!

The light of the play that covered the airship spreads out in all directions like a proliferating star.

What was only a few kilometers in radius has now spread out to hundreds of kilometers.

Nevertheless, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the black smoke that is approaching as if it were going to cover the mortal world.

The golden light, which has swelled to a considerable size, is nothing more than a small star in this vast universe.

······But that’s enough.

“Thank you, Jill.”

A small, shining golden star.

This alone is enough.

In the mortal world where there is only darkness, this small star will shine brightly enough.

If you look up at the sky, you will be able to find this light easily.

I can feel the gazes gathering.

I can feel countless thoughts rising towards me from the mortal world.

All those thoughts are transformed into power through the dagger that Jill stabbed into me.

The light grows brighter and brighter.

The light of the play spreads out like an explosion.The speed had already surpassed the speed of sound and transcended perception.

As people’s gazes gathered, the light grew larger.

As the light grew larger, people’s gazes gathered even more.

Through this synergy, the light of the pole that had expanded exponentially finally painted the entire world.

The thick fog that was approaching was blocked by the light and could no longer approach.

“Mister! I did it! I compressed the soul! Can I open my eyes now? Yes?”

“······.”

In the meantime, the soul that had been endlessly drawn out by the nameless man’s hand was gradually compressed into a small bead.

It fit perfectly into the compartment inside the spring machine, and the spring machine began to operate.

It’s over.

It’s over, but······.

“Mister? Why aren’t you answering? Can I take my hand away? Yes?”

“I’m tired······.”

“Mister! What’s wrong!”

Was it because the light of the pole covered too large an area?

Was it because I received so much information about its essence?

I’m sleepy.

I couldn’t bear the drowsiness, and my eyes slowly closed and my body lost its strength.
