I Am the Only Non-Returner

155 – Reaching complete godhood.

Ser let out a light sigh, fixed his eyes on the sky for a moment, and then spoke again.

“Of course, even though I gave everything I had, it seemed like it wasn’t enough and my rank was taken away. I was demoted to the lowest level devil. But it was okay. I had a goal to bring him back somehow. Of course, it was a crazy idea. “It took quite some time for me to find out.”

“······.”

“Anyway, that’s when we met and went on an adventure together. Tankranku, who was just beginning his adventure and was very strong, and the Hind brothers, who were from a wealthy family.”

“Aha······.”

Pisik-

She raised one corner of her mouth to suppress her small burst of laughter and then spoke again.

“It was a lot of fun. Those guys… They had a screw missing one by one. I lived my life forgetting about Rosherdin for a while, and sometimes I even thought that maybe it could just go on like this. But then something happened.”

“What?”

“The explorers began to attack the Handur people. They must have been unable to leave these people with the talent for chaos alone. Of course, we fought against them to help our comrades, but it was still not enough. In the end, Tankranku Wow, we were defeated horribly, and at that time, Tank’ranku was transformed with the family’s secret arts. His anger was truly a great fuel. It was like a furnace that would never go out.”

“But, because I didn’t have enough strength at the time, I needed to put greater restrictions on him to make him stronger. And those restrictions made him angry. I didn’t explain that part.”

“I thought you wouldn’t listen if I told you. If that happens, Tankranku won’t be able to fight the seekers.”

“That’s right. Smart one? Would you like a special kiss?”

“It’s done.”

Sarak-

She continued talking while brushing my hair.

“hehehe – Anyway, due to those restrictions, he was destined to never live with the Handur people. Although he was the legitimate successor to the Handur people’s throne, he could not live with them. “It must have been a big shock to him, who had such a strong bond with him.”

“You did a great job.”

“Oh, are you being sarcastic? But I was planning on getting hit even if he threw stones at me. If only he could scold those guys. But even though he was that strong, he couldn’t even cross the ‘Watchman’s Boundary’. He was weaker than Rosherdin, so in a way, it was natural. It must have been.”

“Why are you doing this when you know the ending?”

“Because we had to keep him in check. I thought that one day, someone would come out to succeed Rosherdin. But if we can’t hold on until then, it means nothing.”

“A cruel person.”

“Huhuhu······.”

Even though I said that, I had no intention of looking at Ser in a bad way. Just…

“Can you please hurry up? It’s getting dangerous.”

“Stop fussing. This usually takes several days, but we’re doing it as quickly as possible.”

The sight of my body parts, which had been cut off and floating in the air, returning to their original places one by one and being smoothly joined together, felt very strange even to me, who had experienced many unbelievable things.

“Our family’s secret art. The art of transcendence. All living things instinctively set limits to protect their bodies. The locks are deeply imprinted in each cell, so their status increases and their physical strength increases. After the ability is greatly improved, it acts as a shackle-“

“It seems like we’re completely breaking that limit.”

“Okay, can you please not interrupt me? It’s been a while since I’ve talked to someone.”

“Yes…”

After that, I saw her constantly talking to me for a while, and I thought that she must have been really hungry for someone to talk to.

“Okay. That’s it. Wake up slowly.”

Keuung-

No matter how tightly it was put together, I had to be very careful about moving it because it was cut into small pieces.

When I started moving, I didn’t feel much difference from before, so I stood still and jumped lightly.

Tap- Tak-

“Hmm-“

“What do you think? It’s awesome? Huh? Huh?”

“Well, I didn’t even wait a moment.”

“hehehe-“

After stretching for a while, I circulated my mana and there was a clear difference.

Paaat ㅡ

Let’s lightly deploy magical power in all directions.

Huuung ㅡ

In an instant, a wave spread throughout the entire cavity.

Dudeuddeud- kuaaang!!

Huge craters appeared all over the smoothly polished wall and exploded.

“··· Oh my – I can’t believe it. It seems like my magical power has increased dozens of times.”

“Look, you did the right thing by coming to me, right? Am I trustworthy? Huh?”

“It’s definitely huge. This is…”

I felt like I had completely risen to the level I had been clumsily stepping into.

The feeling of finding a way to clearly draw light on the floor in a hazy fog.

This was truly the perfect feeling of being born again.

‘It’s not just that the mana has increased. All physical abilities have increased incomparably. There were this many restrictions placed on me? This is truly unbelievable.’

“Fuuu······.”

“If you eat a few Seeds of Satiety, you will recover faster. Originally, those seeds were made by replicating the original tree.”

“Tree of origin?”

“I heard that it’s a huge tree that grew at the beginning of time. No one has ever seen it, but I’m sure it’s real.”

“······ Well, thank you anyway.”

“I’m not very pleased with the reaction, but it doesn’t matter as long as you keep your promise. Seup- Sigh… Essence of Jinhyeol… It’s really hard to bear. It was really painful to use secret magic because of the dense aphrodisiac ingredients in the air. Anyway, next time I come, I’ll be prepared.”

“··· What are you preparing?”

In response to my question, she raised her eyebrows and smiled as if she knew why I was asking.

‘It’s pretty, but it’s so damn pretty…’

She was so eager to grab her horns on either side of her head roughly and thrust them against her, but then she shook her head vigorously and bid her farewell.

“I can’t bear to ask you to go with me. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Whoa… If you know, why don’t you give me a hug and leave?”

“I’ll consider it when I see you again alive. Then-“

“Haa······.”

Her

Quickly moved to her feet again in the passageway of her dimension, leaving her behind her as she stumbled and sat down on the floor shaking. To the blacksmith shop where I entrusted the request.

[It’s been a while.]

– Oh my!! Oh, have you come!

– Oh my god…

I felt a little puzzled by their much more polite attitude than last time, but I got straight to the point.

[Is the requested item ready?]

– Yes, yes. Ready. I’ve put it all here in this bag. The name of each piece of equipment is embossed, so it will be easy to tell them apart. And since there was material left over, I made an additional one in an appropriate size.

– Oh my God! If you have time next time, may I ask you to visit one more time?

I looked at the full armor in the bag and asked the little girl.

[Who are you impertinently telling to come?]

The girl was very embarrassed by my harsh words and did not know what to do, but in the end, the reason was that she wanted to see the process of making the material I made just once.

I had many questions about whether there would be any benefit to me if I responded and why they were like this, but I put it aside and hurried to return right away.

[We’ll talk again next time.]

– ······!!

They groveled and said something, but they immediately landed in the dimensional passage and returned to our shelter.

Wooow ㅡ

After taking the coordinates of countless dimensions passing by in my mind, I returned to the shortest distance and could still see tens of thousands of people outside the shelter sharing the joy of clearing.

And then, as I entered the shelter hall, I looked at the children who had settled back into their incubators and asked the goddess.

– What happens to the children if the shelter collapses?

Then she twitched her eyebrows and responded as if telling me not to worry.

[If that happens, I will take responsibility and bring the children back with me. Rather, you will continue to speak so rudely and briefly-]

“Now, everyone, gather around.”

[······]

The people in the shelter who gathered around at my shout had very flushed faces. Whether it’s the joy of clearing it or another battle ahead, it’s probably not such a bad sign.

“Now the restrictions tied to the shelter have disappeared. To put it simply, you can leave this shelter whenever you want.”

ㅡ!!

Previously, you had to obtain consent or make a transaction when leaving, but now there are no such conditions. It’s really just a place to live, nothing more, nothing less.

“And the place we are going now is a place closer to death than life. It looks like countless lives that are still struggling to put up defenses will be captured by my hands. So…”

“We’ve decided to go, so you don’t have to talk about that anymore.”

“··· Is this really true?”

Everyone nodded with their lips firmly pursed in response to my question.

“······ Well, it’s good. No bites.”

“You can do anything three or three times, so even if you die, won’t you give me one more chance?”

“Yes?”

“hahahaha- I’m just saying this lol-“

Seeing the people laughing out loud, I wondered if it was strange that I was so nervous.

“Once we start, we must see the end.”

“Hey~ Why is Eunchae saying such things? It doesn’t suit me.”

“Well, I’m also one of the clear members!”

“Well, me too- I’m just like this. Eun-chae is so cute. Do you want me to bite you like this? Ang-“

“Oh really, you, Kahi!!”

As I watched the people bickering and throwing jokes, I worked on melting the sphere of magic that had condensed Rihlimo and the monsters into the shelter.

“Phew – I’m going to use that sphere to increase the durability of the shelter. Not only the durability of the shelter and the outer castle itself, but also the durability recovers over time. And I’m going to add various other functions….”

Dudeddddudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

As soon as the story ended, the structure of the outer castle that formed the shelter became more detailed, and the size of the port that previously spewed out the moat’s poisonous water became much larger.

“Then, I assume we’ve all agreed, and since we don’t have time, let’s move right away. Oh, and please wear the armor in this bag. It’s more like a suit than armor, but it will definitely work.”

—-

Full body armor of chaos that pierces sharply

– Full body armor of the highest quality, painstakingly crafted by a highly skilled craftsman using materials that were made as close to the original as possible by the god of insight who had reached omnipotence, reconstructing his outer shell.

– Stamina +700

– mana +10,000

– Magic recovery speed +30%

– Strength and agility increase up to 500% depending on the wearer’s potential.

– Status ailment resistance +50%

—–

With the modifications I received from the Great Devil Ser, the magical power had increased tens of times and reached hundreds of millions. It was no longer a meaningful piece of equipment to me, but it was effective enough to ensure the safety of my team members.

– Wow!! Crazy!! The equipment is crazy. What is this?

– It looks like the tights that heroes wear.

– It feels comfortable when I wear it. This?

While the team members were admiring the equipment, the shelter was already slowly rising.

Gigi Geekㅡ Gigeekㅡ

– Ah! Ooh, it’s moving!

– Are we really going to another dimension?

– It finally feels real. I’m suddenly trembling… hahahaha… Ah, bathroom.

Weing Weing- Gigi Geek-

The shelter, which was slowly rotating in place, instantly rose into the sky and was sucked into the crack in the sky that had been opened by floating the shelter.
