◈ 229. End (3)

Finally, humanity was forced to face the overwhelming despair that awaited them.

The disasters and calamities that have occurred so far have been hopeless, but they have not been enough to lead to the destruction of humanity.

The world was thrown into chaos with the despair that this time there would be no way to survive.

-It is said that the countries of the world are planning to use every available method to stop the meteorite Thanatos that is flying towards Earth.-Although the national power is not as strong as it used to be, the last defense plan has begun by squeezing out the remaining national power.

Leaders of each country knew that there was virtually no chance of success.

Plans were made to load the most powerful nuclear device ever built by mankind onto a space launch vehicle and have it explode on impact with a meteorite.

Of course, I never thought that I would be able to destroy Thanatos, whose name means death.

It was considered a success if it could deviate from its orbit just a little bit and pass by the Earth.

That’s why the countries that were going to launch nuclear missiles decided to focus their attacks on one spot on the meteorite in order to change Thanatos’ orbit.

“Is there a chance of success?”

“None. The shooter computer’s calculations show that the chances of success are extremely low.”

“I heard that the Footsteps Group developed a migration ship. How many people can be evacuated with that migration ship?”

“It’s not even a few hundred thousand. The component extractor has been installed on Mars, but it is said that the capacity is too much to supply even tens of thousands.”

The development of an extractor capable of extracting water from soil could produce water even on Mars, where there is not a single drop of water.

Although it was possible to produce not only water but also air, the capacity was limited, making it difficult for even tens of thousands of people to survive, so most of humanity had to wait for their end along with the Earth.

There was no guarantee as to how long they would be able to survive, so it might have been better to die painlessly on Earth.

“How much damage would occur if Thanatos collided with Earth?”

“99% of life on Earth will be wiped out.”

It was so large that it was questionable whether the Earth’s ecosystem could be restored.

The ecosystem could not be restored at all, and the planet could end up like Mars.

Even if fortunately that level of damage did not occur, it would take millions of years for Earth to become a place where life thrives again.

“The Footsteps Group contacted me about a project to save the human genome.”

“Is it the human gene?”

“Yes. It is said that the records of human civilization are now being sealed.”

It was quite well known that the Footsteps Group was working on recording and storing human records on titanium alloy plates.

Other countries have also collaborated on such documentation projects, which are now nearing completion.

Of course, there was no guarantee that this archive would be safe from Thanatos this time.

A group of such footsteps contacted us, saying they urgently wanted to preserve the human genome.

“It seems like the Footsteps group anticipated something like this would happen.”

“If you look at their movements so far, I think they probably knew.”

“You knew and kept it a secret until now?”

“Even if the truth had been revealed, no one would have believed it.”

“That may be true. If you think that the incomprehensible things the Footsteps Group has done so far were for this purpose, then it makes sense.”

However, the overwhelming despair that came with each passing moment made all the efforts made up to that point seem in vain.

The world fell apart like in a movie.

It was the meteorite Thanatos that was beginning to become visible to the naked eye.

Attempts were made to change Thanatos’ orbit by launching dozens of nuclear missiles, but all failed.

Instead, part of Thanatos broke apart into three smaller meteorites.

People called those three small meteorites Cerberus.

These three small meteorites were also flying towards the Earth, so where they landed was expected to cause significant damage.

As Thanatos and Cerberus began to approach, people began to accept or were unable to accept their own deaths, and they even committed various crimes.

As the system of society collapsed and fell apart, there were even people who wasted even the short time given to them.

But no one knew that there was only one being who could prevent such a crisis.

“Give it to me now.”

Hyunjin confirmed that the happiness she wished would last forever was over.

I have accumulated a huge amount of points through Cash Up.

Nevertheless, it was woefully inadequate.

And I tried several methods, but nothing worked.

Ruby, who was now holding her eldest son, asked Hyunjin for the Witch’s Book.

It seemed like he already knew that Hyunjin had it.

The power of Ruby’s curse was growing.

He was desperately suppressing the power of his curse to protect his family.

She thought that the greater the coming disaster, the more she had to accumulate strength.

As the power of the curse grew, Ruby’s body had difficulty enduring it.

It was clear that if he lost his senses even for a moment, a great disaster would strike.

And Hyunjin knew that too.

The witch’s spell alone was not enough to stop Critos.

The stronger Ruby’s curse became, the more likely it was that she would be free from the plague of Critos.

“Please take care of the rest. And our son too.”

Ruby, who received the witch’s book from the local, felt her son’s harsh fate and caressed his cheek with a pitiful hand.

Several spaceships could be seen leaving Earth, with the Critos gradually approaching Earth in the background.

Hyunjin had a feeling that his younger brother Hyunwoo might be on that spaceship.

Hyunjin had refused Hyunwoo’s offer to board the spaceship.

If this method fails to stop it, I plan to choose destruction along with the Earth.

So Ruby took hold of the witch’s book and unleashed her power.

If she had been at Baekdu Mountain, there would have been a major eruption there at any moment.

The earthquake would have torn the ground apart and the sea would have swelled, creating huge tsunamis.

The atmosphere also produced such violent winds that people thought the Earth was being torn apart by the meteorite’s impact, even though the meteor had not yet reached the Earth.

Such a huge force stretched out towards Thanatos.

Kookung!

The whole earth heard a strange vibration.

But I thought it was the sound of an approaching meteor.

At the noise that seemed to be the death knell of the god of death, not only humans but all living things on Earth closed their eyes tightly as if they sensed death.

But a miracle happened.

I didn’t know how the miracle happened.

Whether it was because God took pity on humans or because Thanatos changed its orbit and began to avoid Earth.

The sight of the giant Thanatos passing over the Earth was breathtakingly beautiful.

Although he was successful in avoiding Thanatos, Cerberus, Thanatos’ pet dog, remained behind.

Although it was a much smaller piece of meteorite than Thanatos, it seemed to be enough to cause catastrophic damage to Earth.

“I’ll ask you for the last one.”

Ruby disappeared after using all her power.

It wasn’t death.

It disappeared as if it had disappeared somewhere.

Hyunjin felt that Ruby had returned to the lost world, but right now, her priority was to stop the sharp teeth of the Cerberus rather than find Ruby.

I used up all the points I had accumulated so far.

The points he used, including all the roulette tickets he had, began to shatter the Cerberus that Thanatos had left behind.

Large and small meteors covered the entire sky.

The dark night was as bright as day due to the light from meteors burning in the atmosphere.

Several large meteors fell to the ground.

There were also cases where people were killed or injured without any luck, and structures such as buildings and cars were also destroyed.

Fortunately, however, the damage to the Earth was not so great that it was catastrophic.

Surviving the despair that comes from space.

“Historical site. I have to go to the unknown historical site.”

Hyunjin decided that he had to go to the unknown ruins where his wife had been in search of her.

But now, Hyunjin had used up all of her points and had no points left to go to the unknown ruins.

In addition, Hyunjin had to deal with the absurd situation of Cashup having to update.

“Don’t make me laugh! Why now of all times! Why? Manager! Please! Please!”

I couldn’t tell who the manager was.

Even as Jumong, he could not stop or reverse the Cash Up update that had started.

The update for CashUp, which was thought to be finished quickly, ended up taking a whole year.

Hyunjin, who was unable to go rescue Ruby or see her parents due to the Cash Up update, was about to give up on everything when she confirmed that the update was finished.

Hyunjin was furious at how difficult it was to tell what had changed.

After living like a wreck for nearly a year, my physical condition wasn’t very good.

Although collecting points wasn’t easy, Hyunjin could sense that the continued cash-up wasn’t always a good thing.

Of course, Hyun-jin turned a blind eye to the fact that the disaster that required cashing out was not over because he needed cashing out to go see his wife and parents.

So Hyunjin wanted to collect the points and go straight to find Ruby.

“dad.”

“…….”

Hyun-jin felt conflicted as she watched her young son looking at her with concern.

It was a trip that could have been dangerous.

If he himself disappears, his son will be left alone.

And it occurred to him that his son might have to share the same fate as his own.

The only good thing was that Hyunwoo, who confirmed that Earth was safe, returned the escape ship.

Hyun-jin, who had found a way to end Hyun-woo’s wife’s fate, received a promise in return that she would take care of his son even if he was wrong.

Hyunwoo also accepted Hyunjin’s request since he was his nephew.

So, Hyun-jin first went to meet her parents, Jin-cheol and Choi Yu-han.

And then he had to realize that it was too late.

In front of the house there was a grave and a pit.

Inside the pit, Jincheol was lying down, seemingly just asleep.

Jincheol looked as if he was asking to be buried next to his wife. Hyunjin made a mound and headed towards Ruby, who was waiting for him.

Underground.

Hyunjin, who was heading to the labyrinth, was stopped by the underground people.

Hyun-jin, who was about to defeat the underground people and go rescue Ruby, could soon confirm that the underground people showed no will to fight.

And I was able to hear unexpected words from the underground people.

-The Queen is in a deep sleep. Even if you wish to visit her, you will not be able to wake her up. It will also be difficult to meet her. -The underground people called Ruby Queen.

When the underground people said that they would remain asleep until the next disaster came, Hyunjin could tell that they were not lying, but he could not admit it.

In the end, I pushed the underground people away and went into the labyrinth to find the ruby, but as the underground people said, I couldn’t find the ruby.

-The queen was originally destined to destroy the world. However, she seemed quite satisfied with this dream. -The underground man’s words that Ruby was quite satisfied with saving the world without destroying it did not reach Hyunjin’s ears.

All he wanted to do was use all his power to save Ruby and end her cursed fate.

But it seemed like it was a fate that was not given to Hyunjin.

Hyunjin wandered endlessly through the giant labyrinth but was unable to find the ruby, and eventually arrived at an unknown location.

It seemed to be the center of a labyrinth.

“This is.”

-It’s like some kind of quantum computer.-

“Quantum computer? Is that the quantum computer I saw in China?”

-To be exact, it seems much more advanced than that.-

“So is this what made Cash Up so great?”

Hyunjin had a feeling that the super quantum computer that was managing his cash up might be deep inside this labyrinth.

“Can we have a conversation with the artificial intelligence of a quantum computer?”

-I’ll check.-

Jumong tried for a long time to access the quantum computer, but ultimately failed.

-The artificial intelligence of the quantum computer is currently on standby. It is not responding even when called.-Hyunjin had to feel despair at Jumong’s words that there was no way to wake him up.

Jumong was able to see some of the information stored in the quantum computer.

-Master.-

“What? Did you answer?”

-I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard back. And it looks like the crisis isn’t over yet.-

“What a fucking mess. What kind of crisis is this? What on earth does the Creator want from us?”

-I don’t know about the creator of mankind, so I can’t answer that question, but I heard that another crisis in the universe will come in two thousand years.-Hyunjin was shocked that a crisis would come again in two thousand years.

It didn’t matter since it wasn’t a crisis that would come to him or his son anyway.

-It is said that the era of abundance will continue for the next two thousand years.-

“I see? That’s fortunate.”

It seemed that his and Ruby’s sacrifices were not in vain.

Although there was a lot of damage, humans would overcome the damage and continue to prosper.

Hyunjin realized that what started with his father had ended with him.

It wasn’t exactly a happy ending, but I thought it was a worthwhile adventure.

Hyunjin sat down, perhaps because the tension had eased.

Like his father, his health was not very good.

-You have to go back.-

“Even if I go back.”

-Your Majesty will be waiting for you.-

“Okay. Let’s go back.”

After much thought, Hyunjin decided to go back.

After Hyunjin disappeared, the super quantum computer made a dry notification sound.

– Earth Recovery Sequence in operation! Earth recovery rate 1.4%… … Expected recovery time is 430,000 years away. 620,000 years until humanity can return to the surface. Initiating a reboot of the recovery sequence to prevent humanity’s genetic and mental collapse. An additional 0.2% recovery rate is added with the energy acquired from this sequence. Restart of the sequence is approved. Expected recovery completion time is 410,000 years. It seems that recovery can be completed faster than expected. Mr. Jincheol. – There was nothing moving on the ground 1km above where the superquantum computer was located.

I would like to express my gratitude to the readers who have supported Jo Manjangja by just walking so far.
