At Union, the underground control room...

Lee Seokjun stared at the face shown on the screen with a shocked expression. It was Yoo Minseok who supported him. Yoo Minseok looked at Lee Seokjun and sighed like it was expected.

“How is my father... alive?” Lee Seokjun rubbed his eyes slightly. It was so absurd he didn’t know if it was a dream or reality. It was shocking that his father, who he thought was dead, was actually alive and was appearing as Jupiter.

“Why...?”

Lee Seokjun stared at the screen with a disbelieving expression. Jupiter had the face of his father and took people around the world who enjoyed Arkstar as hostages. If this was known publicly, he, who would be the next chairman of Union, would have nothing to say if he was held accountable and put to death. It wouldn’t be strange if a riot broke out.

“......”

Lee Seokjun’s face paled as he turned to the other researchers. They avoided Lee Seokjun’s eyes in an embarrassed manner. Kang Jaeseong was busy operating the supercomputer in front of him. The only one who didn’t avoid his eyes was Yoo Minseok. The moment Lee Seokjun opened his mouth, Yoo Minseok spoke first.

“I knew.”

“Then why did you hide it? Such an important issue...”

“I only learned about it a few months ago and didn’t know how to explain it to you, who was the department head at the time. I also wasn’t sure you would believe me.”

“No, even so. Department Head Yoo...!”

“People tend to give preferences to themselves, their close friends, and family. If I told you at the time, would you have believed me? You definitely would’ve been unable to handle it after learning the truth. Dr Kang Jaeseong right here was also a victim of the former chairman’s ugly truth.”

Lee Seokjun trembled and his face turned red. His eyes shifted to the back of Kang Jaeseong’s head.

“Doctor, is this true?”

Kang Jaeseong paused as he was operating the computer. Then he slowly turned his chair to Lee Seokjun.

“It is true.”

“......!”

Lee Seokjun stared blankly into the air. Then he sat down beside Kang Jaeseong. He thought about it for a moment before raising his trembling head.

“Can you tell me the truth? I want to hear whatever it is and make a decision. This isn’t an order as a president. It is just a request as a son who wants to know the truth about his father.”

Yoo Minseok slowly closed his eyes and opened his mouth, “...Of course.”

On the dazzling screen, the destruction continued in an unceasing manner. The fierce bloody battle between Lee Geonmyeong and Choi Chuntaek was reaching its peak. Kang Jaeseong moved his gaze back to his screen and his hands moved faster than before.

* * *

Dust scattered in the wind and a white thunderbolt sword pierced deep into the black lion’s hard heart. There was no place on Lucifer’s body that was unscathed. Above the small wound was a dent from a heavy attack. Lucifer, who already had one arm cut off, had black blood pouring from his mouth.

[Cough.]

Lucifer’s two heavy knees touched the ground, causing a small tremor. He looked at the thunderbolt sword inserted deep in his heart and laughed. He never dreamed that his end would come at the hands of an insignificant human.

[This... isn’t the end.]

Lucifer’s bright eyes turned to the human below him. He was Park Muyeol, who assimilated with Hercules and fought a fierce battle with incredible strength. Park Muyeol joined forces with the others and eventually stabbed the sword in Lucifer’s heart. Meanwhile, Hercules was about to fall asleep to heal his body after the consumption of enormous star spirit and divine power. However, Park Muyeol used excessive force and this caused the power in his body to be twisted. He was barely keeping himself upright on one knee and was breathing hard.

“So what if it isn’t over? You want to fight again? If you want to do something, then try it. We’ll survive again and put a sword in your heart.”

Most of the surrounding demons became ashes that scattered. They were mainly demons who had become undead. The reason they became like this was because Lucifer’s body had an abnormality and they could no longer maintain their form. Several general level demons had an ominous feeling and sent a retreat signal to the remaining demons.

It was Atlantis’ troops and the Gaeram who pursued them. There was also the Army of Death emitting a terrifying energy. The demons were pursued and helplessly slaughtered. Several high-ranking officials of the Atlan Kingdom were full of morale and followed the demons. The gunfire of the resistance led by Leslie sounded like a victory salute. The North Pole orcs and the wolves leading them, Romelana and Remus, roared toward the sky. Santa Claus was intoxicated by victory and was busy showing off his bulging muscles and touching his white beard.

[...My end is so miserable. It is this feeling since I couldn’t achieve my cause and died in vain.]

Lucifer’s complexion became paler. He smiled bitterly when he saw the demons running away.

“Originally, a person is born and dies. It is a law that they don’t take anything with them.

[...I didn’t know that. I’m not human. Still, I want to ask you one thing.]

“What is it?”

Park Muyeol barely took a breath as he sat down. He slowly raised the back of his hand to his mouth to wipe at the blood.

[Before turning back time, you definitely lost your life in the fight against Ashtar. Why did you go out then? If you had stayed still, then you might’ve lived.]

“It is because I’ve lived a bit longer than them.”

[Sophistry. You risked your life just because you lived a bit longer? Is that enough reason to die on behalf of these insignificant people? You’re not going to say something like it is an inevitable fate right?]

“You are mistaken about something. I will pioneer my own destiny. It isn’t accepting it.”

[It isn’t... accepting...]

Lucifer’s heart glowed golden and his body started to scatter as ashes.

[It is really like that...]

Lucifer disappeared slowly with a laugh. Finally, the demon king who frightened the entire world disappeared with the world. Park Muyeol thought about it as he watched the remains of Lucifer scatter in the rising sunlight. Then Gorba, who had been leading the orcs to fight a bloody battle with the demons, appeared.

[Chwik! Where is Lucifer? I have been waiting for this moment!]

However, Lucifer had already disappeared from the world. Park Muyeol laughed when he saw Gorba appearing at this time. Just then—

[※Emergency notice※ The error phenomenon of being unable to logout has been resolved. There will be an emergency check soon so we are asking all users to logout within one hour.]

At the same time, there was a lot of noise around them and the faces of the users became rosy. They scattered into light and disappeared one by one as if they had been waiting for this moment. Most of them were low level, but some rankers returned to reality with sighs of relief.

However, Park Muyeol knew the fight wasn’t over yet. His eyes turned to the floating castle in the distance. An ink dragon descended next to him with its huge wings and a strong amount of wind. Mido jumped from the head and ran over happily.

“We won! We won!”

Park Muyeol gave a small nod to the young people behind him. He didn’t say anything, but it meant that everyone was having a hard time. Behind Mido was his grandson Park Seongchan whose eyes were red.

“Grandfather...”

“Don’t cry. It is too early to be happy. It isn’t over yet.” Park Muyeol pointed to the floating castle in the air. The sky was still covered with dark clouds and the loud sounds of fighting and various roars never ceased.

“Omo, my waist.” Then Park Maksun, who led the wizards and witches, slowly descended from the sky. Behind her, a group of people on brooms chasing the demons passed by in a flash.

Zhen Sulong, wrapped in white lightning, appeared with Michael, wrapped in pink petals. Park Muyeol made eye contact with them and greeted them. It was nice to see that everyone was alive.

“Sure enough, living is the best.”

“The man who knows this risked his life to fight so hard? Haha.”

Zhen Sulong smiled with a ridiculing expression and hugged Park Muyeol. Michael also smiled and hugged Park Muyeol like he agreed with the words.

“Well, that’s enough talking, Maksun. Take me there using space movement.”

“Eh? Where are you going this time?”

“There.”

Park Muyeol’s finger pointed to the distant floating castle and the faces of some people stiffened. They also sensed that it wasn’t over yet.

“Chuntaek is still there. We have to help if possible.”

Everyone nodded at the same time.

* * *

After pouring out all available Flying Kick Techniques and dealing a blow to Lee Geonmyeong, I stared at the floating message with joy.

“It looks like we can logout! I’m finally relieved.”

Currently, Lee Geonmyeong was under attack from as many as eight weather conditions in the fog at the same time. The sun and moon were both in the sky at the same time. The clouds caused a natural disaster accompanied by snow, rain, thunderbolts, and wind that were relentlessly attacking Lee Geonmyeong. Brilliant meteorites emerged from the universe and constantly flew toward Lee Geonmyeong, creating explosions. The vibration was felt even though I was floating in the end. It was enough to make my flesh tremble.

“Alexus’ newly created Flying Circle Jewel had exceptional power. It is this much then I can’t imagine what explosive power the last Flying Kick Technique would have...”

I stroked my beard with an expression of surprise and anxiety. Just then, Lee Geonmyeong let out a roar from the fog. A dazzling light burst out from in the fog. Once the fog cleared, I saw Lee Geonmyeong with a pallid appearance and disheveled hair. He had a pale face, but gave off a fearsome look with his eyes.

Lee Geonmyeong gritted his teeth.

[You dare... you dare...!]

Lee Geonmyeong was once again engulfed in a dazzling light and created a huge explosion.

I was almost caught up in the explosion, but a firebird and cloud monkey appeared in front of me. In another moment, there was a bigger explosion and a flash of light. Once I managed to open my eyes, Prometheus and Atlas had already disappeared.

I was gritting my teeth with anger at their deaths, but a message appeared in front of me.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says that he and Atlas are fine.]

“Phew. I thought you were dead.”

At this time, the remnants of the explosion slowly dispersed and Lee Geonmyeong showed a strange appearance. He had two heads. One was naturally Lee Geonmyeong’s face and the other was Han Hyeyeon’s face that I saw in the Sea of Time. Han Hyeyeon had her eyes closed like she was unconscious. Lee Geonmyeong’s body looked incomplete like he had two souls.

Two arms grew behind his waist. It was similar to Ashtar.

[Kuoh, I can’t believe I am already using Ashtar’s blood. It can’t end like this! I must eat you and wash away this shame!]

I looked at Lee Geonmyeong from the top of his heads to the tip of his toes coldly.
