Yoon-seok thought about it once before. An era in which various species dominated the entertainment industry and Moorim warriors argued on the Internet. Wouldnât there be a future like that in-store if they survived?
âWho wouldâve thought it would come true?â
Yoon-seok smirked. It hadnât happened yet, but he would get to bear witness to that sight soon. Although he had a lot of things left to do firstâŠ
âI can do it. For sure.â
Yoon-seok didnât doubt it. Wouldnât he someday get to the end of this long journey? From now on, he had no choice but to move forward until his very last breath.
ăUnique Power Last Ark has been used.ă
ăIn one hour, all beings and the territory of Levant Neutral will be transferred to the Earth.ă
It wasnât difficult to persuade Ragna Hambledon and her father, the mayor of Levant. Rather, he was the one who mentioned migration as soon as he saw Yoon-seok.
âI guess it doesnât start right away.â
ââŠThen please keep it up until then.â
âYes. Weâre in a hurry, so we can talk about the rest after returning.â
âI⊠itâll be fine, right?â
âYes. Iâll be heading your way in an hour as soon as I get there. Donât worry too much.â
After bringing in the Planet Guardian, Ashton and various experts made several simulations to create a manual. Although the manual didnât predict invaders falling from the skyâŠ
âIf itâs Ashton, heâll manage it somehow.â
Since then, Yoon-seok moved throughout Levant Neutral for the time being to slaughter invaders, if it meant to save one more person.
And how long had it been?
Whoosh-!
The wind began to blow in from all directions.
Flash-!
With a flash of light, the entire island disappeared. The ocean stirred and poured down like a waterfall to fill the sudden emptiness. Yoon-seok blankly watched that scene for a long time.
âIf we move the land like this, wouldnât the sea level rise?â
That was what he suddenly thought⊠he remembered Ashton mentioning it, so he was more relieved. He didnât hear about the countermeasure, but they knew about this problem. There must be a way, then. Even if it didnât work with existing science, wasnât this a world with all kinds of rampant superpowers?
âDid it transfer over properly?â
ââŠMaybe.â
If he wanted to be sure, itâd be better to go to Earth himself⊠well, Lee Su-yeon would likely contact him before too long.
âSo this is at least over for nowâŠ.â
Yoon-seok moved to his next destination with Peter Remus.
âIf weâre heading in this direction, are we going to Saintrion?â
âYes.â
âAll of them know how to use sacred power so that they might be of help⊠thereâs no way theyâll abandon this holy land and move on to another dimension, though?â
Peter knew Yoon-seokâs destination and expressed his doubt, but there was one fact he didnât know. Yoon-seok negotiated directly with their god himself.
ââŠThatâs not the case.â
But how could he say that migration to the Earth would help them stay forever?
âIf this happens, will there be another religion on Earth?â
He was worried about religious disputes, but likely nothing would come of it. Guwon-gyo was already gaining ground, and now that this religion had a god proven to exist, nothing much would change. People would believe in what they wanted to, same as before.
âYouâre here.â
The Pope greeted Yoon-seok as soon as they arrived in a much more polite way than before.
âIâve been waiting for you.â
âWhat do you mean youâve been waiting?â
Yoon-seok tilted his head. Come to think of it, even when he was entering, people were bowing in lines as if god himself had descended.
âThere was an oracle.â
As soon as doomsday began. Well, that would speed up the conversation.
âAll preparations have been made to leave for the promised land, so please lead us there. Unknown wanderer!â
âW-What kind of weirdâŠâ
Peter Remus was stunned, but it was different for Yoon-seok.
âYes, I will.â
It was a blessing to skip a long conversation at this time.
ăUnique Power Last Ark has been used.ă
ăIn one hour, all beings and territory of Holy Land Saintrion will be transferred to the Earth.ă
Peter activated his power.
âThen try to relax again.â
ââŠIâm kinda feeling sick. Can I stay behind you this time?â
âStaying next to me is the best option.â
ââŠâ
Like in the Levant earlier, Yoon-seok went up to execute invaders until the hour ended. The territory was much wider than the Levant, but honestly, it was much easier to defend. Other than the holy warriors who trained in battle since childhood, there were combat priests and supporters. Even before Yoon-seok arrived, they were already doing a good job defending.
âI will be waiting for you there.â
A light flashed, and the entire territory of Saintrion vanished. Although the cut surface at the borders was kind of eerieâŠ
Swaaaaaaaaaa-
Perhaps as the seawater filled the empty spot where Levant Neutral was, these traces would vanish one day too.
âIt feels strange to see this kingdom disappear.â
Strictly speaking, it hadnât disappeared. It just moved to a new land. Just as those who left Earth created a new world called Moorim, they would also go to a new world.
âIs it a bummer?â
ââŠItâs a lie to say otherwise since I was born and raised in this place,â
It was clear what the future Seheranbad, his hometown, would face after abandonment. Instead of comforting him with vague words, Yoon-seok waited silently until Peter finished thinking.
âThank you for the concern. Itâs done. Letâs go.â
âAre you sure youâre okay?â
âEverything lives to become history from nature to animals and humans. They formed groups to survive and soon became states. This will eventually be a natural course of action.â
Yoon-seok, who had been surviving harder than anyone else, could sense what he was trying to say. Perhaps he chose this as his Unique Power because he knew what survival meant.
âIâm okay so we can leave now. You should finish what you have to do.â
âYes.â
Yoon-seok headed to where the Demon Kingdom Geronian once existed.
âTestament 16:3! Read it!â
âDonât be in pain. Donât be afraid. I weigh all sins in my hands, and this hardship will strengthen me!â
âIsnât this also an ordeal for freedom!â
âFighttttttttttttt!â
It would be easier to persuade them than Saintrion, as they pushed the invaders away using a human-wave strategy. One word from him, and it was done.
âI canât believe it! Itâs the Blood Lord!â
âAre we going there? To the land of salvationâŠ!â
âMom, wake up! We! Weâre finally able to go there!â
The word quickly passed through the masses fighting on the battlefield, and the whole area was filled with shouting.
âWahhhhhhhhhh!â
âFight and bleed until the end! We must fight!â
âThe Blood Lord is with us!â
In terms of radicality alone, Yoon-seok was even comparable to the King of Steel and his followers.
âWhat have you been up toâŠ?â
ââŠIâm not sure either.â
How did these people emerge? Yoon-seok gave up thinking about it.
âWell, Iâm sure it went wellâŠ?â
The Bloodseeker Sect was different from Levant Neutral. In the midst of this, they readily fought back against the invaders, so they had the power to protect themselves. Apart from that imprudent loyalty, they would be a great help on Earth.
Flash-!
How long had it been since he gladly fought alongside these believers? A flash of light surrounded the Earth, and the former Geronian was transferred.
It was then he received a call from Lee Su-yeon.
âOppa!
âOh, Su-yeon. I was waiting for your call. How are things over there?
âI knew you would be curious, so I called. Levant Neutral sent reinforcements on the spacecraft.
âWhat about Saintrion?
âOnly the location has been confirmed, and I think itâs still in contact. How about you? Are things going well?
âYeah, just one more, and Iâll be done. So ask Ashton to check later.
âWhere is it this time?
Yoon-seok was speechless for a moment. How should he explain that?
ââŠThere is, youâll know when you see it. Say my name and send them to any urgent places if necessary.
âOkay.
Yoon-seok ended the call.
âWhere are we going next? Wizard Kingdom Fredden? Or Human Beast Nation Ewin?â
Yoon-seok slowly shook his head. Who could say what would happen, but those two werenât on the list right now. Unlike the other countries, they donât have any significant connection with Yoon-seok. It would take a few days or even weeks to persuade them. Or it might not work at all.
âWell, things might change if this situation becomes urgent.â
âAnyway, the next place weâre going to is the Katlan Empire.â
âKatlan EmpireâŠ? Come to think of it, you know the Princess, right?
Sort of.
âYes. If it were there, they would accept this proposal.â
âThe daughter of the Neutral Countryâs Mayor, the Pope, and the Princess. Youâre not from here, but you sure have over-the-top connections.â
Yoon-seok smiled awkwardly at Peter. He didnât mean to, but it just happened.
âAh, is this person equivalent to the United States president?â
Yoon-seok smiled and ran across the sea once more. Who knew? A loser once living such a poor life was now traveling dimensions and implementing these ridiculous plans.
ââŠYouâre like a man without walls.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âNo one runs without knowing the end to do what they wouldnât dare otherwise.â
ââŠYou think so?â
âYes. I have always wondered why so many people decided to follow you, but I think I know the answer now.â
âWhy?â
Looking down, Peter smiled.
âWhere is the last destination youâve been hoping to go? Iâve been watching for some time, but I canât stop myself from asking. Can it be that different from any other?â
ââŠâ
âWhat do you want? Do you want the same thing as those who look for hope while looking at you? Or is there something else?â
Yoon-seok was a little taken aback. Maybe it was because heâd never been asked such a direct question until now. But if he had to answerâŠ
âCertainly, it might have been different in the past.â
When tremendous power was placed in his hands, when he pushed his anger at the world, it was different then. He wanted those evils to be corrected. That was his wish.
ButâŠ
âDoes that mean itâs not now?â
Yoon-seok nodded without hesitation.
It wasnât like that anymore. It was no longer different or special.
