Chapter 862

‘Well, this just got complicated...’ he thought, as he acted unconscious while carefully assessing the situation.

He couldn’t comprehend the figure twisting the Headless Giant. Originally, the monster was supposed to absorb the powers of the Awakened here. In fact, there were a lot of them, which only made it even better for the giants.

That was why he had covertly manipulated the wave surge to lead toward such an outcome.

But his plan had gone to waste because of one single person. Under normal circumstances, the right thing to do was to abandon his scheme and wait for a new opportunity. However, the voice that reached his mind made him widen his eyes in shock.

After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly.

‘Yes. Even if I’m facing the eye of the storm, there’s nothing that can stand against the true lord of this new moon.’

‘As you command...’

He murmured carefully under his breath so as not to be seen, and he began reciting a spell.

A spell to summon disaster.

* * *

Davey glared at Seo-Yoon, his voice icy.

“What exactly is it that you’re trying to accomplish here? Are you trying to pass off responsibility for this mess onto me?”

“T—That’s not what I...” she stammered.

“Then you should understand just how absurd your words sound.”

“Are you... going to kill me?”

“If I need to, sure.”

“I... I just wanted to save people...”

“And yet, in the end, you almost killed them all.”

“...”

She coughed painfully, her face growing even more pale by the second.

“Stop this!” a voice suddenly shouted.

Several figures entered the scene; a man in a black suit accompanied by two familiar faces, Maga Han Yu-Na and Grape-flavored Cat Tower.

“Wait, wait!” Yu-Na rushed forward.

“Why are you two here?” Davey asked.

“Because I work here! Now, can you just calm down? You’re killing me here!!”

“Do you know how many would’ve died if I hadn’t shown up?” Davey shot back, his expression stern.

Yu-Na was taken aback at his question. “I know, I know! I know these idiots messed up. But please, for my sake, can you just calm down a bit? Let’s at least talk first...”

She seemed to know his temper all too well, as she desperately tried to defuse the situation.

“Fine. I’ll let it slide... since you spoke up on their behalf,” he muttered. He glared at Seo-Yoon one last time before roughly tossing her aside.

“Cough... cough...” She gasped, struggling to breathe.

“Are you okay, Seo-Yoon?” Yu-Na rushed to her side. “Do you recognize me?”

“Yu... Yu-Na.”

“Yeah, it’s me, Yu-Na. Gosh, I told you not to do this, didn’t I?”

“I’m s-sorry...”

“Don’t apologize to me—for now, rest up. I heard you were infected, though...?”

Before she could finish, Grape-flavored Cat Tower tapped her on the shoulder, and she turned to him with a scowl.

“What?”

“With him here, what’s there to worry about?” he replied casually.

“Oh, you’re right...”

The two of them knew all too well about Davey’s tendency to deal with infected enemies by curing them first and then taking them down afterward. Seeing the obvious, they didn’t bother worrying and asking any more about it.

“Phew... What happened to the enemy?” Yu-Na asked, looking around at the pieces of monster remains scattered across the ground.

“Don’t speak too soon,” Davey answered while pointing at the rift from which the Headless Giant had emerged.

At that moment, massive tentacles wrapped in crimson flames burst out from within.

Thud!

The tentacles sharpened their tips and tried to attack, but they just ended up crashing into the protective barrier Davey had set up.

Clang! Clang!

With sounds like metal clashing, the tentacles kept up their assault. But then—

Crack!!

“Wait, there’s an egg over there! Is it hatching?!” Yu-Na exclaimed.

More tentacles, freshly spawned from the rupturing egg, continued their relentless assault.

Before long, the egg shattered completely, revealing what lay inside—a humanoid form composed of a burning crimson light. Though it lacked any defining facial features, it had dozens of tentacle appendages extending from its back similar to wings, making its presence all the more threatening.

The monster, now free from its shell, seemed to take a moment to survey its surroundings. It then raised one hand in the air. In response, the second moon of Earth hanging in the sky, Thanatos, trembled.

The moon, the source of the vast cycle of energy maintaining balance across the dimensions, now trembled and stretched as if it was on the verge of splitting in two.

Everyone made a horrified expression. They were all feeling a terrifying, overwhelming force they had never felt before. Compared to the Headless Giant, this was something else entirely on a different level—a true embodiment of fear. Many crumpled to the ground, unable to stand, staring helplessly at the crimson figure and the moon it seemed to be influencing.

“We’re... We’re all going to die...” someone whimpered, their voice trembling with fear.

Then, among the frozen figures, one of them slowly walked forward.

"Ah, ah,

my lord. You\'ve finally awakened.”

"Woong-Cheol? What...?"

Click! Bang!

Without hesitation, he pulled out a pistol from his coat and fired it.

"Aaagh!!"

Yoon-Seok screamed, collapsing as the bullet struck his leg. It wasn\'t just any ordinary bullet—it was imbued with tremendous power. Davey could tell that it clearly wasn\'t possibly using this man’s original strength.

"Oh... Such electrifying power...”

He mumbled like a madman, raising both arms in worship.

"Bow down, for the savior of this world has awakened. Pay respect to the savior! Rejoice at the birth of the new god of all creation. Tremble in fear, for he is the ruler and the god who rises with the moon of destruction."

"Woong-Cheol! What are you saying? Why are you doing this?"

"The Lord chose me as his vessel and instrument. What more reason do I need?"

His eyes gleamed with insanity, making any reasoning futile.

"Thanks to your foolishness, Seo-Yoon, things went smoothly.”

Hearing that, her face turned pale.

"Woong-Cheol..."

"Do you resent yourself for acting like a fool, thinking the monster was just about to show up simply because I tweaked things a little bit?”

Tears welled in her eyes. She had been deceived, eventually calling forth the monster herself.

"The arrival of the Saint of Tionis was unexpected, but... in the end, it was still within my expectations. Now! My Lord! The sacrifice you\'ve requested is ready!"

Like a fanatic, Park Woong-Cheol bent over, bowing deeply. The crimson figure then began to channel energy from the moon that appeared to be split apart.

Fwoosh!!

"First, let\'s get rid of the little things in the way.”

At that moment, scarlet flaming tentacles lunged at Davey.

Boom!!

Tremendous force came at him. He blocked the attack, but it didn’t stop after one blow—the tentacles kept coming.

Slash!! Crack!!

Not long after, the ground split and scarlet tentacles wrapped his waist and legs, restricting his movements. The force was quite strong.

Thud!!

Davey tried to grab the tentacle flying toward his head with his hand, but it kept moving in an attempt to attack him.

"Hahaha! That moon—a calamity itself—and the god itself, is something that mere creatures like you cannot withstand!"

The tentacles began extending toward the fallen Seo-Yoon.

"Seo-Yoon!!!"

The tentacles moved too fast to dodge, and screams echoed all around.

Beep... Beep!!

Suddenly, the heated atmosphere cooled as a sound interrupted. It was none other than the ringtone of a smartphone.

After struggling with the tentacle, Davey released it and put his hand in his pocket.

Everyone was stunned to see what happened next.

The tentacles, which were lunging at him, abruptly halted as if the struggle had never happened. Even the tentacle headed for Seo-Yoon stopped in midair, as if time itself had paused.

"What...?"

"What is happening?"

In the situation where everyone seemed frozen as if motion itself was nullified, Davey raised his hand.

"Hold on a second, I got a call from someone. Let’s pick this back up in a bit."

Everyone made stunned expressions at his words.

He had received a call from Perserque. Once he picked up, he heard her soft and gentle voice from the other end of the line.

- Davey.

"Hey, what\'s up?"

- Super Ribbon wants to see you. I won\'t ask what you\'re doing, but how about you wrap it up quickly and come back?

"Already? I\'m a bit busy right now..."

- If you aren’t coming back quickly because you’re messing around, you better prepare yourself.

Hearing this, his eyes widened. It felt as if she knew exactly what he was up to, and he felt a pang of guilt. He then replied with a serious tone.

"I\'ll be there in five minutes."

- Alright. Don’t overdo yourself.

Everyone continued to look at him in disbelief as he had maintained such a casual and relaxed tone. Once he ended the call, he grabbed the tentacle again and wrapped it around his waist, pretending to exert force and trembling exaggeratedly.

"What are you waiting for? You said the god has descended; keep doing what you were doing.”

"..."

The absurdity of the situation left everyone speechless. Even the crimson humanoid figure that had been attacking him was still as if frozen in time.

‘The moon of calamity? The god that is the moon itself? Mortal beings who are mere lesser creations?’

"Sorry, but..."

Davey made a chilling smile.

"That moon, Thanatos, isn\'t the so-called moon of calamity that you think it is."

‘That moon maintains the balance of all the worlds. Also, I created it myself. All the power that emerges from that moon is under my control.’

In other words...

"The power you’re using," Davey said, his voice calm but firm, "it all belongs to someone else. Do you know who?”

‘It’s me, you fucking bastard.’

Everyone just looked at him with confused faces.

The crimson figure flickered violently at his words.

“Lord! Reveal it to us! The calamity you will unleash—gaa!!”

The crimson tentacles pierced through Park Woong-Cheol in an instant, cutting off his words.

“My lord! W-Why... Gaaaaah!”

His body began to shrivel, drying up like a mummy in mere moments.

Crack!! Spat!!

The tentacles began to pulse with energy. Davey didn’t understand how it worked, but the tentacles soon multiplied and started pressing down on their surroundings with crushing force and pressure. The sheer weight of the power made everyone turn pale with terror.

Davey, however, couldn’t care less about their fear. He took a slow step forward.

“Now that I think about it, this is really starting to piss me off,” he said as he thought about the hell he went through to lift Thanatos into the sky from the Spirit World.

“And you dare call that yours? That’s my power, idiot.”

The crimson figure emanated overwhelming power and pressed down on everything around it. The figure strained to pour every ounce of its strength into pushing Davey back, but he advanced steadily nonetheless, step by step.

Its source of power was the vitality circulating from Thanatos. But that vitality, every ounce of it, was under his control.

No matter how much the figure tried to draw upon its strength, it was futile. Davey could halt and disperse it according to his will with ease. Though the figure didn’t have a face, he could feel its confusion and desperation. It only made sense, as it recognized that its power wasn’t affecting him.

Davey had thought the aftermath of the Red Void only affected Super Ribbon, but that clearly didn’t seem to be the case. The onlookers stared in disbelief as they struggled to comprehend what they were witnessing.

The figure thrashed around in panic as its powers were fully subdued, but it did nothing to change the outcome. He knew that if this figure was made from the aftermath of the new moon Thanatos, he was in full control of it, being able to decide its destiny on a whim.

- Keee!!!

It let out a desperate scream as it struggled to escape, but its tentacles halted before even reaching him.

"How... Can a human be so strong?"

Ignoring the voice muttering in disbelief, Davey slowly placed his hand on its head. As he gradually absorbed its vitality, it slowly began to stop its frantic resistance.

"Holy shit, you really gorged yourself on power.”

He then wondered if this was how demons or dangerous demonic beasts were born. As he continued to take in its vitality, it started to dissipate before it finally stopped resisting.

With a final touch from him, it completely disappeared.

This was all part of the aftermath of Thanatos, which was created from the coalescing of energy. Thus, until this new Thanatos stabilized, Davey knew it was undoubtedly his responsibility to clean up the resulting mess.

Zing!!

At that moment, a transparent and colorless barrier enveloped the entirety of Alfland. It seemed as though the staff member named Yoo-Hwan, whom he’d instructed to head back, had dutifully buried the box. Though it was unnecessary, it didn’t matter too much since the barrier had to be set up anyway.

Ignoring the dumbfounded expressions of those around him, he glanced at the clock on his smartphone. He then widened his eyes and quickly dialed a number.

“It’s me. Get ready. I’m coming too.”

“Brother?”

“I’ll finish up here and then head back. We’ll talk later. I’ll contact you, so just wait.”

Davey was like a husband scurrying away after being nagged by his wife. The tension in the air instantly dissipated.

* * *

The only ones left behind were those staring blankly at his hasty departure.

"Um... Yu-Na...”

Seo-Yoon, who was on the ground, asked cautiously.

“Yeah?”

“Who is that person, really?”

She had heard stories about him, but she couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded—he seemed like the epitome of absurdity. She found herself deeply unsettled by such overwhelming power.

“How would I know? If I could, I’d want to dissect that human myself.”

Her instincts as a Matter Transmuter were screaming at the top of their lungs that he was an entirely different being from Awakened like them.

Crackle! Crackle!

Indifferent to Seo-Yoon’s feelings, the glowing masses launched into the sky in the distance were burning brilliantly.

* * *

“Father!”

As soon as Super Ribbon spotted Davey, she darted into his arms. It was already late into the night, so she had already manifested, regardless of his will.

To return her to her original form, getting her emotionally stable was necessary.

"I’m not late, am I?"

“Where have you been?”

“Oh, just dealing with a thief.”

Hearing his response, Illyna gave a half-lidded, skeptical gaze.

“Did you cause trouble again?”

“Wasn’t me, it was the thief.”

Saying that, he placed his smartphone in the middle of a call to his ear.

“Are you ready? Fire them.”

“Father?”

“It’s a gift for you, Super Ribbon.”

‘I hope you like it.’

Whoosh!! Crackle!!

In the distance, a light launched high into the sky. Everyone watching the parade all turned their heads upward.

Boom!!

In an instant, it became a massive firework that brightly illuminated the night sky.

Of course, they were just ordinary fireworks. For those from Heins Territory who had witnessed similar events countless times, this was nothing surprising.

That was, if things ended at this level.

When Davey clapped lightly, scattering vitality into the air, the surroundings began to change. The divine power he had secretly spread started to interfere and reshape the rules in the surroundings.

Ordinarily, even those with divinity were forbidden from meddling with such fundamental principles. But for Davey, who had already become one of the pillars sustaining the world, negotiating with the rules that shaped existence wasn’t particularly challenging.

Whoosh!! Crackle!!

With a massive roar, beams of light split into dozens of radiant streams, spreading outward.

And then—

Both the spectators and those participating in the parade stopped in their tracks, staring at the fireworks illuminating the sky with wide eyes.

The cascading lights spread like the Milky Way across the night sky, shining brightly before trailing like shooting stars and descending to the ground.

- W-What on earth...? Chairman! What is that?

“What else could it be? It’s fireworks.”

- But... But that’s not what we prepared at all...

Davey casually ended the call with the flustered staff member and clapped again. This time, he gathered the light particles of spirits with overwhelming vitality.

He had forcibly opened a pathway to the Spirit World, calling forth spirits to join in the display.

Fitting the park’s theme of being a fairy kingdom, the amusement park transformed into a dreamlike wonderland, resembling a true fairy festival. Not only was the sky full of them, but the surroundings were also filled with glowing orbs that gently drifted down like delicate snowflakes.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

“How do you like it?”

At his question, Super Ribbon, her face dreamy and awestruck, shifted her gaze from the sky to him.

“It’s amazing, Father...”

“If you ever want to see it again, just let me know. I’ll make it happen.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Super Ribbon threw herself into his arms.

“Did you use magic to do this?”

“Something like that.”

In truth, it was a trick made possible with divine power.

Everyone had their gazes fixed to the sky, mesmerized by the breathtaking sight.

But Davey wasn’t finished yet.

Discreetly drawing more vitality from within, he snapped his fingers. As if following a preset command, the divine power reshaped the space.

“Mom, mom! Look! It’s a fairy!”

A child pointed to the sky with excitement.

“Oh my goodness... How beautiful.”

The mother, holding the child’s hand, widened her eyes and gasped in wonder. Similar exclamations of awe echoed from all around.

Green sylphs, glowing with shimmering light, flitted through the air. Flame spirits, Kasa, twirled and created Mobius loops of fiery rings before scattering. Water spirits, Naiads, moved gracefully, painting streams of water across the sky.

In stark contrast to the light-polluted sky that dimmed out the stars, a magical, ethereal festival of spirits unfolded. The spirits, grateful to Davey for saving their crumbling world, responded eagerly to his will, creating this aerial masterpiece.

Tourists, unwilling to miss this fantasy movie-like spectacle, looked upward in unison, captivated by the magical night sky. Amid the crowd, Super Ribbon had her gaze locked on the heavens as well. She murmured to Davey with a dreamy expression.

“I feel so happy... Father.”

“How about calling me Royal Father instead?”

At Davey’s suggestion, her face turned red, and she quickly ducked her head.

“R-Royal Father.”

“And if you add ‘I love you,’ it’d be even better, Super Ribbon.”

“I... I love you...”

‘Oh, geez!! Someone get me a bottle of champagne to celebrate!’

Nestling in his arms, Super Ribbon gazed at the sky. But before long, her manifested form had disappeared. She had disappeared after fulfilling what she had wanted.

To ensure she could enjoy the view, Davey lifted her sword sheath toward the sky.

The fireworks continued for quite some time.

* * *

Meanwhile...

At the NSDIA, several grim-faced officials gathered, the atmosphere tense.

“After this incident... it could cost some people their jobs.”

“...”

“Yu-Na, please, we’re begging you—talk some sense into him!”

A man in a suit clung desperately to Maga Han Yu-Na.

“Me? And how exactly do you expect me to do that?”

“When he sets his mind to something, no one can stop him! Could you think of any way to stop a bulldozer like him? No, right? Ugh... That’s exactly why I told you this was a bad idea! I told you something felt off!”

“Yu-Na, you’re our only hope! Please!”

“Don’t drag me into this! I’m not doing it!”

“What’s the point of having all these connections if you won’t use them?!”

“Ahhh! I don’t hear you! I don’t hear you! La la la!”

“Yu-Na! Please!”

As one side of the park was enjoying the heavenly spectacle unfolding, another side was plummeting into hell.

“D-Damn it! Why, why did you do that?!”

“They said they were deceived into doing it. Seo-Yoon, gather all the data we have. Minimizing damage is our only option. If formal complaints come in, we’ll be in real trouble!”
