Chapter 256. <The One who didn’t conquer the stage (2) >

2.
[From now on, we will enter the 38th Floor.]
The Tower’s voice resounded.
A change occurred in the hologram that we were looking at.
“Ah, look over there!”
Smiling, the Heretic Questioner gestured with his face.
Since I was sitting on the sofa, the only place the Heretic Questioner could put his head was on the back of the sofa. While clinging to the back of the sofa like a child piggybacking on their dad, the Heretic Questioner stared straight ahead.
“Something is coming out of the sea on the right side of the continent!”
It was as the Heretic Questioner said.
In the holographic image, something huge could be seen rising from the depths of the sea.
“Ahaha! It’s really huge!”
The Heretic Questioner was like a brat watching a monster movie.
However, my other companions gathered in the waiting room for the eliminated were not as excited.
The Black Dragon Master muttered on behalf of all of us.
“What is that?”
[That] resembled a turtle with a long neck.
As it rose, the waves swept over its knees. When the monster raised its long skyscraper-like neck and roared, its howl alone was enough to cause tsunamis in every direction.
“It’s a dragon that has been hibernating since the beginning of time.”
The Lady Who Walks Through The Mirage said.
The Black Dragon Master hesitated.
“…a dragon? A dragon appeared on the 37th and it’s appearing again on this floor?”
“Mhm. And to be honest, this one is a genuine dragon… In your terms, you could call it a [Constellation].”
The Lady smiled brightly.
“You can think of the Red Dragon on the 37th Floor as a disciple that this dragon commanded!”
Roooooooaaaar-
A dragon roar erupted from the middle of the sea.
Thud!
Blue shell. Blue skin. Raising its paws, the blue eyed monster headed to the coast.
Thud!
Every step it took caused an earthquake. Thud! Thud! After just a few steps, the monster, which was in the middle of the sea, had already set foot on the sandy beach. Thud! With the final step the monster took, it crushed the dense forest trees like stalks of sorghum straw.
Roooooooaaaar-
The monster shook the seawater from its head. Each drop of water that fell formed its own pond as it landed. Screech! The fish that lived in the sea, the animals that walked along the beach, and those that lived in the dense forest ran away in fear. Roar! Screech! The world became chaotic as animals from the land and sea fled.
[The Constellation ‘The Energy* Dragon That Dwells In the Deep Sea’ roars!](*: Or ‘spirit’, or ‘force’)
Even though we were just looking at it through a screen.
“…”
“…”
We were all quiet.
When faced with a monster the size of the Korean Peninsula, it tended to be quiet.
“Um! That’s difficult.”
Let’s correct that.
Bambolina was the only one that had something to say.
“I just checked with my skill, Ten Thousand God Scripture… just how difficult it is!”
“It’s because it’s so big. That’s not something the people can handle with their power.”
Bambolina shook his head as if the Count had just said something absurd.
“Of course the size is a problem, but it’s not just the size! Instead, there is a problem with the nature of that Constellation.”
Right.
There were also many different types of Constellations, and they weren’t Constellations simply because they were strong. At least as far as I know.
Uburka didn’t become a Constellation simply because he lifted a lot of dumbbells. Uburka became a Constellation because he overcame himself again and again.
Due to being born with congenital albinism, he developed enmity towards the sun. However, Uburka learned to use aura and overcame the sun by covering his entire body in it. The limits of the body. The limits of life. Whenever an unavoidable limit was reached, Uburka overcame it by reconstructing his flesh and bones with aura.
An overcomer.
The one who rebelled against everything and eventually transcended everything, the world he was born in, the sun that nurtured that world, and the life he owed to the sun. Thus, the Constellation [The Musclehead Who Dreams of Sinning Against Heaven] proved his determination and qualification to become a shining Constellation in the night sky.
‘On the other hand.’
That monster was a different type of Constellation.
“If we had to classify it, that Constellation belongs to the ‘beginning’!”
The beginning.
Nature.
The Constellation that [composed] this world.
“That gigantic monster isn’t even the main body. It is a kind of terminal, nothing more than a puppet that it connects its consciousness to and controls!”
To compare it, if we were to say that the main body of the Constellation was a giant sea anemone, then that monster was a single tentacle.
“That makes it almost impossible to fight and kill it! Nevertheless, if I had to come up with a method, hmm. Wouldn’t the only way be to seal the puppet instead of destroying it, trap the Constellation’s consciousness inside it, and make it crumble by causing it constant pain!”
Shiny shuddered. And I did too.
The method Bambolina mentioned was almost the same thing the Constellation Killer did to the Constellation in the world that Master lived in.
The Black Dragon Master, who was unaware of this, tapped her chin.
“Indeed. Some kind of curse.”
“Yes! In the first place, the puppet is the medium. That way, it wouldn’t have any chance to counter.”
“Right, that’s a way to deal with it… But can those kids there use that method?”
“The thought itself is easy. The fact that the puppet itself is the medium means that it is based on primitive sorcery!”
As the conversation between the Black Dragon Master and Heretic Questioner progressed, someone folded their arms.
It was the Crusader.
“However, the question still remains on whether it is necessary to use such a method.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“According to the Heretic Questioner’s words, that Constellation seems to be the creator of that world. In other words, the inhabitants of that world can only be born and live because of that Constellation, so unless there are lunatics who believe they should [absolutely kill the Constellation], there is no need for them to be hostile, is there?”
I shuddered. Shiny did too.
There was a person among my vassals with such a history.
However, apart from that, the Crusader’s point was sharp.
‘As expected of the Crusader.’
Before I regressed.
The Flame Emperor had cleared the 40th Floor.
And since it was a world quest instead of an individual race quest, I knew the contents of this floor.
“However, isn’t said creator about to destroy the world?”
“I can refute you with the same logic, Black Dragon Master. Unless it has suicidal tendencies, that Constellation has no reason to destroy the world. Unless it thinks the inhabitants of the world have made it a mess.”
As expected, that was correct.
‘Actually, even if it’s a mess, it won’t destroy it.’
Flame Emperor.
In the past, when Yoo Soo-ha climbed the tower, the continent was completely ruined compared to how it was now.
The fanatical elves worshiped the Flame Emperor as a god. Yoo Soo-ha ordered these elves to slaughter and conquer. Because the race and their god were so mad, they ended up annihilating all the other races or making them slaves.
‘Except for the goblins.’
However, we’ll talk about why those kids were able to survive later. For now, this fact was important.
‘That Constellation won’t destroy the world.’
It would just…
