"It's wide."

When he opened the door and walked in it, he saw that it was a place like a huge square. The center was lined with tens of thousands of round b.a.l.l.s about a meter high. It's a place with a strange atmosphere like an ancient temple.

"Is that it?"

Stepping inside, they could see at a glance a dimension device.

They didn't have to look for it. It was a huge pillar high in the middle of the eggs deployed in a circular shape.

It was not just a pillar. Inside it, which looked as transparent as gla.s.s, was filled with white light, and underneath it was cluttered with various machines and metal plates that one could not guess what they were for. The scale was so great that it stretched to the edge of the shroud of darkness.

The party walked towards the center.

They arrived at their destination, but they were not careless. They were the ones who fought against huge monsters just before. It would be nonsense to leave this place without any traps. However, there was nothing that unexpectedly blocked or attacked them at the pillar until they were really close to it

The closer they approached, the larger the column got. Soon they stopped in front of it, briefly appreciating its enormous size without anyone saying a word.

"Now, what's your plan?" L frowned and turned her gaze. Now, they had to a.s.semble these things they did not even know how to handle to awaken the dimension device.

L was the only one who was capable of speaking and understanding the ancient language, but that didn't mean she knew how to use these machines. Jaehw.a.n.g said that Baeklin will take care of these, but L, frankly, did not trust Baeklin. Didn't she have to translate the ancient language for him just before? He didn't seem any better than her just because he used magic to apply his ancient knowledge.

Baeklin, without saying anything, flopped down on the ground as if he was not confident about this at all.

But when he thought about it, it's natural. It's no different than having a primitive man play a game by manipulating a computer. In the movies, there were scenes in which people placed some viruses into alien programs and even put pictures on the screen without knowing anything about aliens and their languages but unfortunately, this was reality. That's possible because it's a movie.

"Hey, Baeklin, can you even use this?" Said L, frowning at Baeklin.

Baeklin, who had kept his mouth shut answered back quietly, "Don't interrupt me when I'm thinking and shut up."

"What!?" L's eyebrows are horribly distorted by Baeklin's words. She was a dragon in the first place and did not have patience.

If Jaehw.a.n.g were not by his side, he would have killed that mouthless man. Of course, Baeklin also said this because he believes in Jaehw.a.n.g. Baeklin and L would never have to meet again if they blocked the dimensions anyway.

"The solution is simple."

"What is it!?"

Baeklin spoke just before L tried to say something. "We just had to call out the guys who made it."

"Hmm? How?" L asked, but Baeklin did not respond to her and started taking out the things he brought from the Infinity Storage and started sticking them to the dimension device. The things that he attached there were hundreds of talismans. The talismans were a little wider than the palm of his hand, and Baeklin meticulously glued them to the device and then took out a jar from the Infinity Storage. It's an old, cracked, and black shabby jar.

"The jar of the dead... Did you have it?"

"Yes."

When Al saw it, he frowned and asked the Baeklin.

It was the creation of a dark religion that once believed in the ancient evil spirits of Elus. Actually, these jars have existed before them, but these religious orders had made them famous. The purpose of these jars was simple. The owner of this jar can freely use souls. Whether the soul was alive or dead or in the past. They used the object to bring the powerful beings of the age of appeal to modern times and throw the world into confusion.

When they tried to wake up even the dragon in the realm of the dead, L and Al came around and destroyed them.

"Where did you find it?"

"That's not the point now, is it? Stand back."

At Baeklin's command, they all stepped away from him

Baeklin placed the jar in the midst of the talismans and closed his eyes.

"Namosamandabalta male mmhpsabal-sabalanai-sal-tatadomi..."

Kukukku...

The four pillars rose like guards on all sides of Baeklin. It's a spell that's unique to Heaven's Hundred-Year House. It attracts the power of all sides to protect the spell maker while maximizing the ability of the occult and stabilizing it at the same time.

"Daltaal-dddsabharama!"

Baeklin's hands quickly crossed and began to seal. Then his hand, which made the last seal, fell on the jar.

"Calling the dead is the lowest level in the art of magic. Besides, if it took this much time, even if the spirit was summoned, it would have been scattered hundreds of times."

A torrent of black energy rose in the hand of Baeklin.

"It is of little use to call the dead. Maybe in a battle, they could be of use."

Shwoooo…..

The talismans on the dimensioning device began to emit black energy, and each one began to form a human shape. There were also non-human beings that range from very small to large.

"They are basically a collection of consciences. The contemplation of all beings connected to this dimension and this Jar of the Dead temporarily gives them physical power."

The translucent beings that filled the square were now busy looking at their bodies. Baeklin picked up the jar of the dead and cried out loud, "I'm the owner of the Jar of the Dead!"

At the same time as his cry, the beings all stopped what they were doing and looked at Baeklin.

"Reactivate the dimension device! Start the dimension separation!"

"..."

Though Baeklin cried out, the beings just stared blankly at Baeklin without any movement.

Baeklin, who scratched his head, asked L, who was looking at them with a surprised look.

"Please translate it for me, hehe." Baeklin fell at L's feet.

Now, Ruler stands at the gate of the Earth.

Behind him, all sorts of monsters were bowing down towards their master.

"Kill us"

"No."

Originally, they planned to pa.s.s through the gate here and invade Earth early on. Their original plan was to attack Earth and then go over the gate after Ruler, but they had not yet crossed the gate.

"That's funny."

Where the gate was, there was a huge amount of soil-like stuff pouring out. Ruler touched it with his hand. Similar things happened in the past. It was closing the gate as it solidified like concrete. Of course, they were not much of a hindrance to Ruler.

But it boasted an intensity that could not be compared to those past rock-like things.

It doesn't break easily even in Ruler's hands, no amount of fire, ice or acid could do the job either. Some superior beings with powerful claws came forward and broke them to some extent, but it would take a long time to complete what the Ruler wanted.

"Is this his doing, too?" Ruler said bitterly.

It is not a simple substance by the texture of it. Ruler placed it in his mouth.

This was not an act of eating.

Ruler placed those things in his mouth and swayed them around a little, and then, his eyes turned viciously. By the taste of those things, he could easily figure out what they were made of.

"The trail of life where Mana, this powerful, stayed..."

It was Ruler who could steal everything from his opponent through absorption.

In his judgment, this dark substance was a high concentration of organic compounds. The problem was that they were not just organic compounds. They were not comparable to himself, but these were organic compounds made of quite strong monsters, and they were hardened very strongly by some substance added to it.

Ruler raised his will throughout the Dark Earth.

A mere alteration of the body did not change the owner of this ident.i.ty.

"Check all gates leading to Earth and Elus."

The reports that came after his commands were not that good.

"All the gates leading to Earth are blocked."

Not the gate to Elus, but all the gates to Earth were blocked. Normally, it won't be a problem, but now it's a fight with time. His opponent was thinking of a one-on-one, he was reading Ruler's plans.

"My lord. Why don't you do this instead?" The immortal monarch spoke carefully to Ruler, but Ruler only giggled without listening to all of it.

"You're going to suggest changing the destination to Elus or head from Elus to Earth?"

"Yes."

The immortal monarch's suggestion was not that bad if they were not insistent on the gate that leads to Earth.

Ruler shook his head at his suggestion. "No, we are going through this gate."

"Huh?"

At Ruler's words, the immortal monarch looked at him curiously.

"The reason is simple. The one who planned this, don't you think he has already thought of that? He probably already knows about it."

Ruler thought about that one human that he suspected had planned this. If that person predicted this much of his own plan, he must have the next steps prepared.

"Are you saying that he might have planned something differently?" The immortal monarch, asked and Ruler nodded.

"Yes. Kekeke."

It's really been a while since Ruler remembered a feeling called 'anger'.

This was the price of transferring his consciousness to a human body. After he became a G.o.dly being, he had forgotten about such feelings but although he felt it again, it was not that bad. Actually, one of the reasons that Ruler first thought about leaving Dark Earth, which became some sort of boredom to him, was because he was nostalgic about this thing called feelings.

And his anger needed to be released...

Ruler had no intention of escaping it, and he also had no intention of following Jaehw.a.n.g's plans.

"Release the Fallen."

"Huh? Why would you..." The voice of the immortal monarch trembled at Ruler's words. The Fallen refers to those who were defeated by Ruler in the past.

Those who fought against Ruler for hundreds of thousands of years... These were the creatures that were erased by Ruler and locked into the Dark Earth's abyss. Although bound by Ruler, their power was unimaginably monstrous, some were even more powerful than Ruler.

"They won't comply with Ruler's will."

"Of course."

He was not able to subjugate them in the past. He didn't think the time had changed them, they were only bound by force.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether they followed him or not.

"Tell them that we will open the way to Elus and Earth."

"Elus, sure, but Earth is where you will go. There they might..." The immortal monarch, who understood Ruler's meaning, said with concern.

Ruler was intending to open the gates using the Fallen, but what the immortal monarch was worried about was that Ruler might run into the Fallen at Earth. They were full of resentment towards Ruler, and seeing them not here but on Earth, it would not be a good idea.

"Keke. I will not be the one dealing with them."

"Excuse me?"

"Give them a condition to destroy everything in the way of the dimension device."

They cannot touch the dimension device. If something goes wrong, the entire dimension could be destroyed but the way toward the device, they could destroy it at any time. If they trapped them there, they would never be able to escape.

"As your command."

After the immortal monarch left, Ruler smiled a bitter smile. "He must at least pay for this little mischief."

Hundreds of semi-transparent creatures were busy roaming around the plaza.

They were not doing simple movements. Some were flying among the pillars, and some were onto the metal plates stuck on the pillars, fidgeting with them.

As time pa.s.sed, the metal plates on the pillars started to emit a ray of light. Maybe because they were millions of years old, there were some small explosions and sparks but soon, those semi-transparent creatures came along and fixed it.

Jaehw.a.n.g's party didn't have much to do.

They were just sitting on stone chairs in the plaza and watched these movements.

If Baeklin wasn't there, they would not imagine moving this device in hundreds of years.
