Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ Star of Transcendence (1) ]

“Chicken Pizza Tteokbokki, hamburger, pork belly, chicken, gangjeong, kimchi stew, soybean paste stew, pig’s feet, bossam, jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, donut….” “

…are you memorizing a magic spell?”

In response to Daein’s puzzled question, Lily, who had been sitting on his lap and muttering the name of the food, turned around and said,

“A list of things I want to eat when I get home. “I’m going to eat all of this today!”

The girl’s ruby-like eyes sparkled as she burned her will to eat.

“If you eat too much like that… no.”

Daein tried to nag as usual, but ended up laughing.

The final battle was about to take place, with the fate of dozens of dimensions at stake.

Are things like obesity, cavities, and upset stomach such a big deal?

“okay. “When we get back, let’s eat whatever you want.”

“huh!”

They sat together in the cockpit inside the Gigas and looked at the dizzyingly changing scenery outside.

There, time and space were distorted.

A world was repeating creation and destruction, as if the reproduction speed had been changed hundreds of times faster.

Starting with the smallest creatures, plants, animals, minerals. The beings that resembled the demons and demon kings they saw were born and died.

Gigas became a single meteor and crossed the world.

It felt like I was traveling through the history of a world.

‘This is the world of Baal.’

An illusion and reality created by the power of the Demon Tree, and Baal’s dream to merge with it.

This meant that we had almost arrived at our destination.

“But, uncle, do you want to eat anything when you get back?”

“me? “I wish I could have a cold beer.”

The great man who secretly opened the subspace took a quick look at the gold and silver treasures and artifacts that were inside, treasures that could not be obtained even after paying hundreds of millions of dollars, and then ate his appetite.

There is no beer.

“Tsk. “I should have brought some.”

Even the countless treasures in subspace seemed like nothing more than a bunch of junk compared to a can of cold beer at this moment.

[warning! warning! There is a risk that the user’s body will collapse!]

‘Deactivate the Star of Transcendence.’

Daein completely turned off the annoying ringing message. Since there was no battle going on right now, it was okay to turn it off for a while.

Daein, desperate for beer, muttered without realizing it.

“If only I had one last drink… ah!”

Lily pinched the man’s thigh hard. When the great man looked down, he saw the girl with her eyes raised sharply.

“why?”

“do not say that.”

“…What?”

When the great man tilted his head and asked, Lily mumbled for a moment and then spoke softly.

“…They say that people who drink a lot become alcoholics and ruin their lives. So, from now on, drink only sparingly. Understand?”

Actually, I wanted to tell you not to say the word ‘last’.

Hearing things like that only makes me more anxious.

The great man snorted and answered.

“Eat just a little bit. “Do you think you have the right to say that to me?”

“I’m young so it’s okay!”

“Do you think a little boy will be a little kid forever? Ugh. I’m already worried. “How much alcohol are you going to drink when you grow up?”

“Even when I grow up, I’m not going to drink alcohol?”

“Oh my. “I hope so.”

The two bickered more than usual.

We talked about things that were not poetic and chatted without much meaning.

They both knew.

‘I may not have much time left for this to happen.’

The great man focused on the warmth he felt from the girl.

The cockpit was too narrow for the two of them to sit together, but the master refused to let the child, who was chattering like a sparrow, off his lap.

“…And then you eat ice cream with your mouth full!”

“How many times are you going to clear your mouth?”

“Afterwards, dessert!”

“I really shouldn’t talk…”

The two didn’t talk about anything serious, for example, about the colleagues they left behind.

As if nothing would happen to them.

It was then.

[[Khahahahaha-!!!]]

Baal’s laughter echoed like thunder.

The surrounding scenery, which had been constantly changing, suddenly turned pitch black, and in the empty void, only Baal’s voice filled the world.

“kid.”

“…huh.”

Their expressions hardened at the same time. After a while, I saw a silver giant shining alone in the pitch-black darkness.

The absolute ruler of the demon world and the greatest evil.

[[Khahahaha! at las! I finally made the Demon Tree my own!]]]

Lily looked up at Baal with trembling eyes.

“Ah…”

An enormous presence can be felt even though it is still quite a distance away. An extra-standard giant that looks like it could crush a mountain with one foot.

“Ah…”

Lily, who felt the distant difference in power, trembled in fear. I got goosebumps all over my body.

-You can never win.

I’ve defeated many demon lords so far, but this was the first time I felt that way.

The girl, who had been burning flames without hesitation even when fighting any demon lord, just looked at the silver giant with a pale face.

“Demon… God…”

An irresistible fear surged through me.

It was a fundamental fear engraved in the cells of the demons bonded within Lily’s body.

Demon God.

Beings belonging to the demon world could not resist his power.

But

“little one.”

The great man placed his large hand on Lily’s small hand.

The warm energy flowing from his hand gently seeped into Lily’s body.

“Let’s finish it quickly and go home.”

It was a voice no different from usual.

At those words, Lily’s body, which had been shaking with fear as if it were a lie, began to gradually regain stability.

“…huh. mister.”

No further conversation was necessary.

-Howling!

Gigas, engulfed in pure white flame, flew across the darkness to Baal. The figure was small and shabby, like an ant attacking an elephant.

Phew – Daein sighed lightly and reactivated the Star of Transcendence that had been turned off for a while.

“Activate the Star of Transcendence.”

[The Star of Transcendence is activated (stage 3).]

[Various functions are provided for user convenience.]

[Most functions have been disabled.]

[To activate the final stage, the ‘final condition’ must be met. ]

[There is a risk that the user’s body will collapse! Sufficient rest and stability are recommended!]

‘The last condition… what is it?’

I briefly wondered about the message that came to mind, but soon shook my head to shake off the distracting thoughts.

‘Let’s focus on this fight for now.’

The Baal I saw before my eyes was much stronger than the Baal I saw in the information relayed by future Lily.

But Daein also prepared a lot.

‘It ends here.’

Five divine jewels prepared for this moment.

It was finally time to use it.

[Holy Ice]

[Judgment Wind]

[Solid Earth]

[Arman’s Jewel]

The four jewels embedded within Longinus appeared one by one on the surface of the spear blade.

Grrrr….

The tip of the spear vibrated violently and the four lights kept changing and blinking rapidly.

And one last one.

“kid. Are you ready?”

“huh!”

Lily and Daein grabbed the cockpit handle and blew into the flame.

[Holy Flame]

The divine flame that Lily absorbed to defeat Demon King Paimon was amplified several times by Lily and delivered to the spear.

-Puhwaaaaaaaaaaa!

Longinus was engulfed in pure white flames, and the tip of the spear extended to hundreds of meters.

Daein aimed straight at Longinus and accelerated Gigas further.

‘I can only fight for a few minutes in my current state. ‘Finish it in one go!’

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The air around me exploded and the darkness was torn apart. A spear engulfed in brilliance cut through the black abyss of the sea.

[[…You didn’t prepare to fight me.]]

Even Baal, who was furious at that formidable power, stopped laughing and looked this way. The demon spirit roared loudly.

[[However, mere human resistance is insignificant before the power of God!]] As

Baal waved his hand bigger than a mountain, a storm blew and thunder and thunder struck.

Rumble- Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

Rumble- Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

However, despite the countless firestorms hitting its body, there was not a single scratch on Gigas’ body.

It was thanks to the power of the five jewels flowing over it.

A cold smile appeared on the great man’s lips.

“divinity? “I thought you were the only one who had that?”

[[Why—!]]

Baal, embarrassed, waved his hands wildly, stamped his feet, and summoned the demon lords.

Slurp. Sreuk.

Hundreds of Agares, hundreds of Vassago, and thousands of demon lords created a wall between Gigas and Baal.

[[Kill him!]]

Although the demon lords were merely clones, their power was not much lower than that of the real ones.

That’s it…!

The space was distorted by the magic power poured out by thousands of demon kings at the same time. The moment it collided with that overwhelming power, the Gigas looked like it would turn into dust and disappear.

But the actual result was the exact opposite.

-Chaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment it touched the tip of the spear, the demon lords melted like ice cream. Gigas tore apart the wall in an instant and continued flying toward Baal.

The glowing tip of the spear was aimed squarely at Baal’s heart.

***

[[…Why doesn’t my power work!]]

Baal shouted as if he couldn’t believe it.

He has already become one with the Demon Beast and has become an omnipotent being.

With will alone, life could be created or destroyed.

If it had happened in the demon world, even dead souls could have been collected and resurrected.

Crushing a flying robot like a tin can was easier than breathing and could make the creatures inside stop breathing.

That’s how it should be, but

[[Why!!]]

the demon’s power didn’t work.

Jewels containing the power of the five gods of the other world protected the two people inside Gigas.

-Wow! Whoops! Damn it!

The defensive barrier was broken as soon as it was deployed, and the summoned demon kings were unable to hold on to the tip of Longinus’ spear for even a moment.

No calamitous force could stop that spear.

[[Ugh….]]

Baal was already taking a step back without realizing it.

It was then.

{O Baal. Do you need my help?}

[[Soul Eater! Shut up!]]

The voice of another being felt inside the body.

Baal shuddered and refused vehemently, but

the enemy was getting closer too quickly for him to continue stubbornly.

***

Inside Gigas.

As he was using enormous power, Daein’s condition was never good.

“Ugh….”

[Warning! warning! Fatal damage will occur to the user’s body and soul!]

“Mister! blood!”

Lily, who turned around at the feeling of warm liquid touching the back of her neck, screamed in surprise.

Blood was flowing from the mouth of the great man, whose face was pale.

“not a big deal. “It’s not over yet, so focus.”

As if nothing was wrong, the great man was only glaring at Baal in front of him.

“mister! “I’m bleeding!”

“Are you going to die just because you bleed a little? “Then I must have died several times already.”

Lily wiped the blood from the corner of the man’s mouth with her sleeve. The girl was already crying.

“This isn’t just bleeding. “You’re really in pain…”

The flame on the tip of the spear was weakening. Daein got angry at Lily.

“Don’t think about unnecessary things and focus! “The flame is getting weaker!”

“But you…”

Daein gritted his teeth and shouted at Lily, who was crying and not knowing what to do.

“Then should we come all the way here, quit everything, and run away to Earth? Then what about Master? What about As? Who is the representative? What about slogans? Who died on the way here? What about people on Earth? Should we ignore everyone and run away on our own?”

“That’s not it…”

“Little one. “Listen to me clearly.”

The great man looked directly at Lily with serious eyes.

“I’m not dying. never die You don’t know me? Have I ever done a good thing and only suffered losses like a brat?”

“That’s not true, but…”

The great man tried to laugh wickedly.

“It’s the same this time too. Once this is over, I’ve already thought of 100 more ways to fix my body. Just finish off that bastard and return to Earth. From then on, we live our whole lives complaining.”

Lily asked back with an anxious expression.

“…Is it true? Is it really possible for everything to get better?”

“of course.”

Although Lily was anxious, she could only nod.

The man was right.

Now was the time to fight.

For everyone who helped us get here, and for those who will be praying and waiting.

Lily pursed her lips and looked forward again.

-Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The fire, which had weakened for a moment, grew stronger again.

Daein squeezed out all of Gigas’ remaining magic power and increased my speed.

“…Now let’s go finish it.”

My vision was getting blurry little by little.

[Star of Transcendence (1)] End
