Episode 295: Dream in the game becomes reality

62. Crossing the line (5)

'Prince Lawrence and Queen Gong are moving directly.'

It didn't take long for the news to reach EA.

EA was very nervous, and Albert, an Iraqi tycoon, tilted his head.

"Wouldn't it be okay to just change your place of residence every day like you have done so far?"

EA is changing its residence every day.

Albert created a number of safe houses in the name of local people around the world and moved them around.

Even though Adrian has the best intelligence department in Rondel, that only applies in Rondel.

Earth still lacked the foundation for an information organization, and in addition, Ea was a being with abilities exceeding those of dragons.

This means that no matter how long the blue moon flies, it is not easy to reach Ea, the transcendent person, with simple information power alone.

However, the story will be different if Adrian and Arcia come forward.

"Those two people are of a higher rank than me. Moreover, his stepping forward means that the Four Heavenly Kings and Dragons under him will also intervene in earnest."

Currently, a number of dragons are deployed on Earth.

This is a force deployed to defend against the attack that brought down the Sky Fortress a while ago.

However, if Adrian sent the dragons to search with the Four Heavenly Kings, pressure on a different level than before would inevitably begin.

"Maybe they already have a lead on us. No, it would be right to judge that it is unconditional."

"yes? Well, isn't that a big deal?"

A sense of crisis appeared on Albert's face, which he had thought nothing of.

Ea is a god who knows gratitude.

Although Albert was greedy, he was devoted to himself, so EA smiled and reassured him.

"Don't worry, I'm not the same person I used to be."

Ten days have passed since Ea decided to contact the Elyos and Demons, and two days have passed since the Sky Fortress fell on Seoul.

It is by no means a short time.

During that time, Ea succeeded in making contact with both races and agreed to join forces.

Although it took a little more time for the descent of the Heavenly King and the Demon King, Ea was receiving active support from those two forces.

So, he shows confidence and tells Adrian not to worry about his movements.

"Are you not the same person you used to be? "I'm really looking forward to that."

"Hi!?"

However, the fact that this time was not short did not apply only to EA.

Two days after the Sky Fortress crashed.

This was enough time for Adrian to get a clue about him, as Ea had feared.

Not only that, but also using clues to figure out his current location.

Albert shrank his neck at the voice that came without warning, and Ea shouted in embarrassment.

"Who are you!?"

"Who could it be?"

"Prince Lawrence?"

"high."

The owner of the unfamiliar voice is Adrian L. Lawrence, a divine being with silver hair and sparkling blue eyes.

It was a search speed that exceeded EA's predictions.

"It seems like an individual could own so many secret safe houses, from uninhabited islands to populous metropolitan areas, so I asked a fairly capable business owner."

The place where EA is currently hiding is an arctic village in Alaska, USA.

Because EA had brainwashed all the locals, there was no chance of being discovered by the U.S. government.

In that village, there is an old underground bunker built during the Cold War, and it was used as a base.

EA and Albert had to swallow their breath as they looked at Adrian and Arcia, who appeared calmly as if they had been there from the beginning.

* * *

I looked around the huge concrete facility and then turned my attention to Ea.

If nothing else, they are excellent at escaping.

If I missed it this time, it would take another few days to find it, so the first thing I did was use several layers of magic to prevent escape.

"He messed up our kids quite a bit."

"Oh, I can't help it. "I have to survive here too."

Ea hesitated and took a step back at my words.

But then something surprising happened.

-Quaang! Coo!

This is because huge objects appeared on both sides of him.

"Gigant?"

Its true identity was Gigant, a new weapon deployed only in the Bringham Empire and the Reinharts Empire in Rondel.

I expressed interest beyond surprise at the unexpected appearance of Gigant.

I can't believe they developed Gigant in such a short period of time.

There was no doubt about Ea's abilities as a craftsman.

What was even more surprising was that there was no sign of anyone inside the Gigant.

Nevertheless, seeing that it moves alone, it must be considered an autonomous Gigan.

Autonomous Gigant is a concept that does not yet exist in Rondel.

"Amazing?"

"Unfortunately, what I lacked was time. Given enough time, Earth's military capabilities would have become equal to Rondel's."

That certainly might be the case.

If he had his way, he would have built a sky fortress.

Thanks to this, I developed a desire that Ea didn't have before.

I thought it would be a good idea to make him my personal blacksmith.

At that time, Arcia, who was next to me, took a step forward.

Then, I thought her fingertips were becoming blurry... … .

-Chuck! Coo!

Gigant's joints broke into pieces and disintegrated.

It was treated to preserve its shape for easy inspection.

Putting EA aside, the Iraqi, who was hungry and greedy, collapsed on the spot.

He would be well aware of the power of that Gigant.

However, the powerful Gigant was disintegrated by an invisible attack, and he was scared.

I shrugged my shoulders and advised Ea to surrender.

"I won't kill you, so surrender quietly."

But why?

The guy who had been looking very embarrassed until just now suddenly changed his expression.

I wasn't too worried.

I decided that no matter what he did, the difference in class between us would not be resolved.

-Pot! Whoa!

however.

Like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, I had to harden my expression while being surprised when the white and black energy came over him.

"What is this energy?"

The reason is because I recognized the identity of the unfamiliar energy I felt from him.

I think it would be better to call it 'chaos.'

It was a new energy born when divine power and dark magic came together.

If I had not personally witnessed the process of mixing divine power and dark magic, I would not have believed it.

The two energies were opposite energies that could not be mixed, like fire and water.

Additionally, this energy seemed to be the same as the one that attacked the Sky Fortress that crashed in Seoul.

"This is what really happened."

However, my surprise was short-lived and I quickly relaxed my expression.

The next emotion on my face was interest and admiration.

This was an unexpected development.

"It is a joint response between the Elyos and the Demons... … . I guess they found out Sepia's thoughts? Then you will have no choice but to respond. "It seems that I chose you as the horse of Janggi to break the Cheonma's long-standing bad relationship and free myself from its bondage."

"In short, we just have a common understanding."

He tried to smile when he saw me grasping the entire situation in a short period of time, but I could feel that he was not relaxed at all.

I shrugged and asked.

"So how much more time do you need?"

"What is that?"

"The time needed to bring them down."

"… … ."

Ea responded to my question with an overflowing and intense writhing energy.

"10 days."

"That's pretty fast."

I nodded and stretched out my hand towards Ea.

Then, a translucent energy surrounded him from all directions and pressed him.

Ea quickly tried to escape with the power he had, but it was not easy, and eventually he brought up a gray energy with divine power and black magic added to it.

"Is it significant?"

I felt a strong repulsive force in my grasp.

Although he is a being of lower rank than me, Ea's power surpasses that of the ordinary Heavenly Kings and Demon Lords, perhaps because he received the full support of the Heavenly Kings and Demon Lords.

-Kwasik!

"W-what!? "Aaaah!"

But that's it.

In the end, he was unable to overcome the difference in strength between me and his body, excluding his head, became flat like a rat.

Although he was quite strong, he was not my opponent.

I looked down at Ea, stroking her smooth chin.

"Oh, this can't be happening, Ea."

However, while I was thinking about it, there was someone who added unnecessary voice, so I lightly blew his voice.

Like killing bugs.

"Bwak!"

Was it Albert, an Iraqi tycoon?

He wasn't a threat to me at all, but since he was a member of the hostile forces, there was no mercy.

As I looked down at Ea in silence and thought about it, I made a decision.

"good."

Ea, who was not surprised to die soon, was quickly treated by me.

Of course, the guy expressed doubts.

"What is this?"

"I'll release you."

And his eyes widened at my next words.

He's been acting like he's going to kill me until now, but he doesn't seem to understand.

But, as if to prove that it wasn't a lie, I turned my back, leaving him there.

"Are you going to regret it?"

EA's next question.

He chuckled and waved his hand telling him to try his best.

I just left there.

* * *

Should I say it feels like a storm has swept over me?

Ea could hardly understand the current situation.

I thought they would be taken away even if I had to die, but they just let me go.

It was clear that there was some kind of plan.

But no matter what the opponent's plan was, this was a chance.

Anyway, I was free again.

EA revived Albert, who had lost his head.

"Ahh! Huh, huh. "I definitely am."

"From now on, I will work alone."

"yes?"

"You know because you've died like a bug, right? "I cannot protect your life from now on."

"Ea-sama."

"If everything is over and you can afford it, I'll come visit you."

EA left immediately.

"Damn it, I don't know what it is, but I'll match your rhythm."

And while I was moving, I thought of Adrian and muttered that.

* * *

Currently, I am wielding power in the name of peace for Rondel and the Earth.

Of course, some people cheered me on, some were offended, and some were angry.

Just as people cannot have the same thoughts, their evaluations of me are also sharply divided.

However, there is one thing everyone knows in common, and that is that if it weren't for me, Rondel would have invaded Earth without hesitation.

In other words, no matter how much I hate it, I have no choice but to acknowledge myself in order to avoid war, as if it were a necessary evil.

But I was very dissatisfied with this situation.

No matter how much force they used to suppress those in power and bring about peace, there were few people who recognized the effort compared to the effort put in.

'No matter how much it is for the sake of peace, it is natural for dissatisfaction to arise if the process is coercive.'

I don't have a very good personality.

I am not saying that I should just do my job regardless of what others think, but I think that if you put in effort, you should be evaluated accordingly.

Wouldn't it be better to be a saint who is respected by everyone rather than a necessary evil?

So, I thought about a new way to maintain peace, rather than using force.

Before long, I remembered the method.

'The reason the two worlds are creaking is partly due to a lack of understanding of each other, but more precisely, it is because the future they see is different.'

What would happen if two worlds had the same goal, helped each other, overcome hardships, and ultimately achieved their desired goal?

You will definitely be able to acknowledge the other person and have a conversation with a more open mind.

The moment I realized what was needed to improve the relationship between Earth and Rondel, various ideas arose.

So here is my plan for future peace and stability.

That is, creating a 'common enemy' on Earth and Rondel.

'The world falls into crisis with the appearance of a powerful enemy, and the two worlds join forces to defeat it. It makes Earth and Rondel into comrades who fight together against threats.'

There was something like this among the cartoons I saw in my past life.

The story is about the protagonist reigning over the world as a dictator in a world where war is constant, and achieving peace by gathering all the hostility towards himself and choosing to be judged himself.

It can be seen as similar to that.

However, the difference between me and the main character of the cartoon is that I have no intention of playing an unfair role where I am judged after working hard.

Rather, it might be a hero who judges.

So, I was thinking of asking Lord Exceed, the reincarnation of Archduke Lucas, to play the role of a villain who will be judged by the common goal of this world.

I thought it was a perfect fit for him because he too absorbed the power of the Creator and was reborn as a god like me.

'This is the plan I have prepared for peace.'

Although there will be some destruction and some sacrifice in this process, this is to prevent further chaos.

however.

This plan is no longer needed.

I found some really good words.
