I Am the Only Non-Returner

166 – To where he is (1)

Glancing-

Glancing-

Crrr…

“······.”

Eun-gyeon’s mental body in the first episode, aka ‘Black Dog’, was trying to pretend not to notice the gazes of Nam Cheol, Ling Ling, and the black panther who were glancing at him from earlier.

But now even that was a limit. This is because the black dog does not have the [Omniscient] Or at least the [Insight] Trait, so he did not want to lose concentration any longer in the passage of the dimension that changes in an instant.

“What is it? What are you curious about?”

“Yes? Huh?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that it’s amazing.”

“What’s so surprising?”

Euncheol was embarrassed, and Lingling hesitated for a moment before finally speaking again.

“You’re not really a dog, right? We were on stage together?”

“No! How many times do I have to say it?”

The black dog was a little annoyed. Even though they clearly know through their magical senses that they are a completely different entity from the silver nut, they keep asking questions as if they are suspicious.

Despite the black dog’s irritated response, Lingling nodded his head slightly and said.

“Euncheol, it’s definitely not right, right?”

“That’s right. Still… We have a similar feeling… So I keep seeing it. He just does what he does without worrying about us.”

‘It’s because it doesn’t make it easy for me to do that, tsk…’

But the black dog said no more and closed his eyes again to concentrate.

How many hours have passed in Earth time?

With only a fraction of the strength of a dog, it was not easy to find traces of him. He was barely able to discover the reverberations of the magic that had been buried in Isabella in advance.

“There it is!”

“Quick, catch it quickly!!”

Lingling reached out to the door he was passing by and grabbed the handle just in the nick of time.

Luckily, as soon as my hand touched the door handle, a fixed dimensional door opened in midair.

Kkiik-

His companions, including Black Dog, threw themselves into it.

.

“Wow! Another world!!”

Eun-cheol gained the power of the Demon King, but that was only in his abilities, and Eun-cheol still had the mental state of a middle school student.

As he stepped into the world of another dimension that he had only seen in novels, his heartbeat raced endlessly and his gaze busily moved to capture at least one more of everything he could see.

Furthermore, the people in the shelter who had lost their memories showed repulsion when they saw their horns, but the people here did not even pay attention, as if they did not care much about it.

“I like it!!”

“Euncheol, if you talk too loudly, you might get caught up in the event.”

“Event?!”

“I usually make a fuss and strangely end up getting involved in an accident.”

“-!!”

Hearing those words, Euncheol thought about making a real scene.

“Let’s just remember that not everyone is here to have fun.”

The black dog that gave Euncheol so much attention sniffed his nose and adjusted its steps again.

‘The scent is strong. There’s definitely Isabella around here somewhere.’

This place was clearly a big city just looking at the floating population, so there was a high probability that the goddess who took Isabella would also be there.

‘Let’s tell the dogs to visit in person later. ‘None of the wives have any memories.’

I felt sorry for Lingling, who was looking on with a very flushed look on the side, but it seemed like a way to shorten the time.

Lingling had regained some of her memories from the stage, perhaps because she had spent a long time in a dimensional gap filled with the energy of chaos, or because her potential was as great as Euncheol’s.

But she couldn’t remember anything about the child she gave birth to, and she wondered if the goddess had done something to her.

‘There’s no way he did that without thinking. ‘You have to believe it.’

As I was walking along the wide sidewalk with my companions, soldiers wearing armor suddenly came running from afar and bowed their heads to the black dog.

“Oh, have you come!! Apostle of the Goddess!!”

‘What are you talking about? This again…’

I took the person who seemed to have the highest status to a corner and heard the whole story, and found that they were soldiers who had fought against polymorphed explorers in the past when Eungyeon went to the goddess’s dimension.

‘I seem to vaguely remember it…’

As the black dog was separated from the dog, her unimportant memories fell away, and it was only after hearing the story that she seemed to vaguely remember her.

“Is there a place like a temple of the goddess here?”

“It’s all there!!”

The soldier said, pointing to the mountainside in the distance.

“You can’t see it from here, but I heard that over there, only select people are allowed to enter the temple.”

“Aha – I hid it.”

For some reason, the direction kept pointing to that place, but I was puzzled because there was nothing there.

The group left the city and moved into the forest, soon climbing a steep stone mountain and finally arriving at a place where they thought there was a temple.

Wooow-

However, only the black dog was allowed inside, and the other three were not allowed to enter.

“Ana! Why! Are you really throwing me off?!”

Euncheol, whose emotional ups and downs were getting worse, shouted with a little sincerity, and for a moment Euncheol stumbled, but then nodded his head and spoke.

“Well, if it doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do.”

“They say we can’t do this?”

“They say it’s not possible. Especially because I have demonic energy, so it’s absolutely not possible? Tsk-“

Anyway, even if it is a baby demon king, the demon king is still a demon king. The magical power, which was intended to deceive people and put them in danger, was a power that was completely opposite to the divine power of the goddess.

In the end, they decided to wait outside, and the black dog had already entered the temple and disappeared.

“He’s so heartless.”

“He lacks the warm side of Gyeon. Still, I don’t think he’s a bad person.”

“You never know, he might regain his strength and try to take the lead. We have to keep a close eye on him.”

“Okay. Let’s eat first.”

They looked up at the temple while munching on the big bore skewers they had purchased.

.

.

.

“It’s been a while. Well, it’s my first time meeting you face to face.”

“Welcome, Eun Gyeon’s helper.”

As a helper… It wasn’t a bad feeling.

“You know what I want, right? As a goddess with future vision, she has already seen it.”

Nod-

The goddess of fertility nodded her head lightly, stroked the head of Isabella, who was looking up at the sky blankly next to her, and then she said.

“Take this with you.”

“This…”

“It’s made from babies’ hair bundled together. You can think of it as a compass.”

“Isn’t this pointing too vaguely? You can’t find the coordinates or anything?”

“It looks like it will point to the destination fairly accurately, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Aha…”

In the shape of a compass, a single sharp hour hand was swinging back and forth.

“You should be careful where the Tree of Origin is located, because it is the place closest to chaos in this universe.”

“I see. Wouldn’t it be okay if the Goddess just goes with us?”

“I’m having a hard time taking care of the babies and this child.”

Clearly, the goddess’s power had already largely disappeared. It’s probably because I expended a lot of energy in the last battle. The reason why we were able to continuously give buffs to so many beings on the battlefield was because of the great power of the goddess who worked hard to keep the babies and their balance from collapsing.

“Awww?!”

Isabella, who suddenly ran up to the black dog and sniffed it, soon went back to sit next to the goddess with a very disappointed look on her face. And then he started whimpering and crying.

“It’s not that the memories have returned. Eun-gyeon’s wives will not be able to remember the babies because I have tied their memories tightly.”

“What is the reason?”

“Because in the future I see, that is the happiest path.”

“······.”

If I said it like that, I had nothing to say.

“Then let’s go.”

“Wait a minute, come here.”

The goddess summoned the black dog to stand for a moment, then placed her hand on her head and gave a blessing.

– I received a powerful blessing from a great being.

– The balance of the imperfect body returns to its proper place.

– Pieces of the power of the ‘God of Omniscience’ can now be used, even if only for a moment.

“Wow…hahahahaha…”

Isn’t the fact that I’m speechless because I’m so dumbfounded refers to times like these?

The goddess was worthy of being called a great being.

‘Because that bastard treated her so comfortably, she looked down on him a little. He was a proper god.’

“If this is the case, there won’t be much of a problem during the journey. Then, go for it.”

“Thank you…”

The black dog expressed its sincere gratitude and after briefly brushing Isabella’s hair, she came out of the temple.

“Oh, I’m here. How did it go?”

“Brother, has your energy changed completely?”

Crrr

“The goddess gave us some help. She said that if we follow this compass, we will be able to reach the root tree where the silver bean is located. But she said she doesn’t know how long it will take or whether we will reach there safely.”

“Look at that.”

Euncheol looked at the compass for a while and then nodded his head in satisfaction.

“I don’t know the structure, but it’s definitely pointing to one place. It clearly contains Gyeon’s energy. Then, let’s move quickly!!”

“Everyone get on board.”

They rode on the back of the black leopard ‘Hero’, climbed a long way from the stable ground, found an unstable sky area, tore a crack in the dimension, and immediately disappeared inside.
