“I will not activate it."

Muyoung made a decision. He decided he shouldn't make a decision right now regarding this matter. Muyoung needed to find out more about the relationship between the ark and the Ellarsigo.

130 years ago, if Earth was really attacked, all the problems, as well as the things he thought were problems, might completely change.

And as these 'lives' within the ark was the result of those causes, he needed to carefully handle this matter. This wasn't something Muyoung could come to a decision about right now.

Instead… Muyoung focused on the other functions of the ark.

If the Ellarsigo were an offensive weapon, the arks here served a defensive purpose.

Using drones and other devices, they scouted at certain times and had weapons to intercept an enemy's attack. 

When faced with something of this size and unknown bizarreness, it was understandable why Ogar would refer to them as the 'swamp owners'.

‘But… it seems like the technology is more advanced than what I remember.'

Muyoung looked at various parts and pondered for a moment. Although he didn't know well, it seemed like the ark was a collection of much more advanced technology than Muyoung knew about. It was ahead by a few tens or hundreds of years.

Of course, great research could have taken place in secret locations and through war, they could have made radical scientific advancements. However, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was off.

Either way, the ark was made up of highly advanced technology that could not be explained by Muyoung's memories of Earth in the early 2000s.

'No-3569947521.'

He was also curious about that number as well.

It could be the number given to each individual human being, but it didn't exist in Muyoung's memories. Even if his memories were not perfect, it was hard to see such a difference.

What was it? What was he missing?

Although a few pieces of the puzzle had been gathered, he still couldn't see the big picture.

He needed to see the mountain past the trees. But, right now, he couldn't even tell if what he was seeing was just a hill or a mountain.

Indeed, there were far too many things that he didn't know about.

‘In the end, the truth of the world is connected to the demon gods.'

When he thought about it, the demon gods knew how to active the Ellarsigo.

It meant that they had at least a bit of contact with the Ellarsigo.

It was obvious for them to know a bit about the story behind the Ellarsigo.

If it was Dantalion, the Demon God of the 71st seat, he would know more in detail.

It was highly likely that Muyoung would get closer to the truth as he hunted demon gods.

‘In the end, nothing has changed.'

Nothing has changed. There was nothing to change.

This was important. Muyoung firmly gripped what he already had. Although right now it was no more than a tree, soon he would be able to see the mountains.

The 130 missing years and Solomon, among other things.

‘This is a fortress blessed with natural barriers for defense.'

Muyong once again looked at the arks.

He figured out how to use the ark a little. Although it was impossible to find out everything since it contained much more advanced technology, the ark recognized Muyoung as its captain, and he would be able to use it the way he wanted.

If this was the case, he couldn't just leave the ark be. 

The enormous ark. Just by having it stand still, it would be a great threat and if he were to activate the numerous functions of the ark, it could even have an effect on Enroth.

Even if it was a vessel that contained the 'hope' of humanity, since he found it, it needed to be useful in the most necessary places.

Muyoung nodded his head and quickly went to complete his next step.

Tacan stood on top of a small hill. Beside him was Bae Sungmin.

They each had an army of ten thousand troops behind them. Bae Sungmin led the ten thousand Ellarsigo and Tacan led the specters.

Including them, all these forces were hiding through the use of Bae Sungmin and Ain's magic.

In other words, they were laying low. On the path their enemies would definitely use, they waited at this place to annihilate them. This was the task that was given to them.

“For some reason, Muyoung seems to bring fights wherever he goes."

Tacan spoke.

He had been through battles ever since Tacan reunited with him after 2 years. Actually, Muyoung had been like that before they were separated. There wasn't a day that went by without anything happening.

Nevertheless, Muyoung didn't get tired. He always became stronger and showed his new appearance.

Thanks to this, Tacan was motivated, but sometimes even Tacan felt Muyoung was overdoing it.

“Muyoung is a huge typhoon. We are just small whirlwinds that follow him."

“Is he planning to become a god?"

Muyoung was already somewhat a god.

Luciferre. Although he was unstable, he was definitely someone who was a demigod.

However, Muyoung didn't know how to be satisfied. He wasn't satisfied when he ate up Luciferre, and felt like he always needed more.

“Muyoung is the savior and the liberator. It is impossible for a whirlwind to know the great intentions of a typhoon. In any case, the fate of following Muyoung is never simple."

“You talk too well for someone who didn't fully recover his memory. Either way, that is probably why Asura chose him. To make him cause pandemonium."

Tacan shrugged his shoulders.

Muyoung was truly the embodiment of war. Someone who harmonized well with the battlefield. It was hard to imagine what sort of existence he would have if he wasn't in the Underworld.

Did Asura's Path also know of Muyoung's tendency?

Tacan shook his head. There wasn't any good in trying to find out what a god thought.

Rather, it was better for him to not know.

“Memories…"

Sungmin said no more. 

Memories.

He had been awakened and became stronger, but his memories still hadn't returned.

Only the thought that he needed to find someone dominated his mind. However, at the same time, he felt like he shouldn't find that person.

So much had already changed. He believed he wasn't in any position to stand confidently in front of his past.

The person he needed to find didn't know that he had changed. Even if he did find that person, it would only create chaos. Perhaps, it might only result in negative consequences.

At the very least, the timing wasn't right. No, he believed it wasn't and kept his memories far away.

As Sungmin kept that to himself, Tacan spoke of something he constantly worried about.

“But, it is strange. Didn't someone say Enroth had the power of knowledge? Then, he should easily be able to figure out that we are hiding out here."

After hearing his question, Sungmin twirled his staff.

“The power of knowledge Enroth possesses isn't perfect. After all, it is something that he received from the Demon God 'Amon'."

After Sungmin became an elder lich, he was learned many things.

Essentially, he had been spiritually enlightened.

He had seen through the universe and discovered the order of nature.

This was possible because death was also part of the order of nature.

“Then are you saying your magic is stronger than Amon's?"

And currently, Sungmin was messing with Enroth's predictions.

One of the 'three doors' that he received when he was promoted to an elder lich was doing its part.

“No. I'm just interfering with his predictions using one of the authorities I have received. At least in terms of magic, there isn't anyone who could defeat Amon. Even the great magician of the Blue Temple can't be his opponent."

Tacan nodded his head.

In two years, Sungmin had changed. There were now times when even Tacan couldn't fully understand what he was saying.

Instead, he spoke about the mission they were currently leading.

“Either way, the two demon kings will first lead their men to invade rather than Enroth. As they know Shar-Shazar has died, they will now want to take his place. There is a high chance they will be competing against each other. And we each need to fight one."

“I'll take care of Roosevelt. As his authority is similar to mine."

“I'll take care of Fraeda."

Shar-Shazar was the strongest demon king who followed Enroth.

When he was killed by Muyoung, this would be known to Enroth and all his direct subordinates.

Of course, the other two demon kings, Roosevelt and Fraeda, would have also known.

Although they were a lower rank than Shar-Shazar, they were still demon kings. Sungmin and Tacan couldn't guarantee their victory.

“Hunting demon kings…"

Tacan spoke in a satisfactory tone.

It was the right decision to follow Muyoung.

Tacan was always craving the strong. To see pure strength played out.

The demon kings were pure evil. By fighting against them, Tacan's skills would also rapidly increase.

“My minions have identified the location of the enemies."

Sungmin twirled his staff. Soon, a small image appeared in front of him. At least fifty thousand devils were crossing the ridge.

Sungmin spoke as he raised his staff.

“They will arrive in 30 minutes."

“Are we going to wait?"

“We will act when the enemies are caught in our 'trap'."

* * *

Someone's death could be an opportunity for someone else.

This was true for demon kings Roosevelt and Fraeda.

Now that Shar-Shazar was dead, and his position became vacant, the two were competing for the position that was closest to Enroth. Due to this, they didn't move with the main army of Enroth, and were advancing a bit more quickly.

“We are hunting just a mere human. Don't lose against Fraeda."

Roosevelt spoke as he wielded a sword made of ivory. He had three pairs of black wings and a grim face.

He was the 'Demon King of Chills, Roosevelt'. It was a nickname given because he had killed his enemies in the cruelest and most evil ways.

And he now led an army of twenty thousand to hunt a human.

He still couldn't believe that Shar-Shazar was killed by a human. Although there was no way Enroth's predictions were incorrect, there definitely had to be something they didn't know about.

In Roosevelt's eyes, humans were no different than mere ants. Things that would die if they were stepped on. That was why he didn't greatly think about it.

Any demon king would see things the same way.

“Roosevelt, what do you think about taking in Shar-Shazar's surviving troops?"

A devil wearing a knight's suit spoke to Roosevelt.

But, Roosevelt shook his head.

“Shar-Shazar was a psycho. His subordinates would be no different. Even if we took them in, they would just ruin my reputation. Of course, Fraeda might think differently. Don't they say that those who are alike tend to play with one another?"

“Well, you are right."

“If it is Fraeda who isn't a man or a woman, it is definitely possible!"

“The story that he gave his ass to Shar-Shazar is quite credible."

“Hahahaha!"

Roosevelt's devils were quite cheerful.

They were relaxed. They were certain of their victory.

Of course, they were moving a bit faster than Fraeda.

“Wait, this feeling…"

Roosevelt stopped.

The twenty thousand men who followed him also stopped flying.

They stood above the empty plains. And in the center, Roosevelt found the figure of someone he was familiar with.

“Shar-Shazar?"

Roosevelt's eyes widened.

The figure on the plains was Shar-Shazar!

Why was he standing there when he should be dead?!
