[You must already know that during the mass migration of humanity, in other words, during your dropout period, all life forms except humans were left on Earth.]
“Well, yeah, since I disassembled some of them. Rita was noisy about killing a small number of them.”
[There was no choice but to do that to match the balance of the world. We can’t be too biased towards humans so…… Anyway, you must also know that they weren’t allowed changes unlike you.]
“Yeah.”
[Lord God deemed that that was enough. He had thought that it wouldn’t be a problem even if he left them alone for 10 years before humanity came back.]
Somehow, Yu IlHan felt that he knew what she wanted to say.
[However, due to an unknown mistake, the time axis of Earth became very off, and while 10 years passed in other worlds, on Earth, one thousand years had passed.]
“A thousand years!?”
And as expected, Yu IlHan was surprised at that part!
“I thought it was about 150 years!”
[It was a thousand years.]
“Not 300 years, 500 years?”
[Millenium!] (T/N: Spoken in English)
“Mommy!”
Regardless of whether Yu IlHan was frightened at the past years, Erta pressed on.
[Although it is said that they were reset at the point that humanity came back, but it didn’t manage to revert their mentality. It’s a thousand years. If animals, who are suppose to live 10 years, lived for 1000 years without dying, then it would instead be strange that they don’t change. And it happened at the exact moment the restriction on time disappeared, dramatically.]
“Just the conclusion.”
[It’s highly possible that the monsters that will appear on Earth will be absurdly strong and intelligent compared to other worlds.]
“We’re doomed……”
[We exist for that to not happen.]
Erta declared. Even Yu IlHan, who felt distant at her arrogant, emotionless words just now, felt that she was cool when she said those words to the point that he felt favourable towards her again.
[I’ve already reported to heaven, and to tune the balance, everybody is moving. However, it will take time for that to implemented. Yu IlHan, do you have any thoughts in moving quite busily just until then? A suitable reward will be waiting for you if you do.]
Erta was saying this – Become the human shield until the weapons are prepared.
Yu IlHan replied while smiling bitterly.
“It sure sounds painful and difficult.”
[I won’t deny that.]
He stopped in his place. And spoke his honest feelings.
“And so I like it!”
It was a masochistic thought even when he thought about it, but Yu IlHan liked moving better than spacing out doing nothing. Now that he had lived for countless years, or as Erta said, 1000 years, he had changed like this.
Moreover, he even thought to be enthusiastic if it was approaching the unknown that no one had experienced.
If he didn’t die.
“If I think I’m about to die, I will run away, though.”
[There’s no way you will die. You are underevaluating your own ability.]
Erta snorted. She already saw a fragment of Yu IlHan’s ability. Yesterday, she saw his overwhelming fighting ability against multiple monsters, she saw a scene where he created an artifact worthy of evaluation using monsters’ byproducts,
and she saw the steel spear that he took out while leaving his house today.
Erta was meticulously misevaluating him. Level 30 monster? Don’t joke. He wasn’t someone who would struggle with monsters at that level. The power and technique, trained to breach the limits, inside his body was proving that fact!
[The Monsters will show up soon. And they will bare their fangs to devour humans to reach higher heights. So before that.]
Yu IlHan’s steps became faster.
Wwearing the Ir*nm*n mask on his face, he gripped the steel spear, shining under the sunlight, after unwrapping the cloth and stepped out.
Now, he also felt it. A murderous intent on a different level he felt in the campus!
Erta shouted.
