As soon as the gates of hell closed, all light disappeared. In the darkness, Rosalyn's power was cut off.
Rosalyn's body, struggling in the air like a person swept away by a typhoon, fell to the ground.
'There must be a floor down there.'
However, contrary to Rosalyn's expectations, after a short fall, she gets a thump! Her body hit the floor.
'Ahh... It hurts.'
There was a faint light where she fell. It was a sticky red color that could only be seen in a butcher's shop.
Normally, it would have been considered ominous, but in the terrible darkness, even this light was precious. Rosalyn stayed under the light as if possessed.
'It's a shame that there is such a light. If it had been pitch black, I would have fainted in a matter of minutes.'
As if to respond to her feelings, an unidentified light gradually brightened. But as her vision grew brighter, Rosalyn's expression darkened.
'Hey, what is this?'
Rosalyn fell in the middle of a dense circle of crowds. A place where many people locked her up in layers of disgust.
They all looked down at Rosalyn. No one blinked even once. It was a grotesque expression that could only be seen in a horror movie.
Who is standing in the front row...
"Ha, Hannah."
Rosalyn called her name as if she had been strangled.
"Did you use a curse spell on me to get that thing?"
Hannah's eyes sparkled like glass. It reflected Rosalyn's face as clean as a mirror.
Rosalyn, who could not meet her eyes, looked away. However, no matter where she turned, she couldn't escape its gaze.
Everyone around her knew her well.
The priests, the priests, the transcendents, the people who had sacrificed with their own hands, were all shining on Rosalyn with their eyes like glass. She felt like she was surrounded by hundreds of mirrors.
She wanted the light to disappear. The damp light soon became infinitely brighter and brighter like the sun shining down on it.
Then she saw the Earth covered with humans. Endlessly, so many people, yes, so many victims, staring only at Rosalyn.
'Do I have to run away?'
Rosalyn instinctively thought so, and she scrambled to her feet. Those mad gazes suffocated Rosalyn.
She pushed the crowd with her arms. They didn't get in her way, but they didn't take their eyes off her.
There was no end to the crowd that was surrounded by layers. Rosalyn felt like she was trapped in a terrible nightmare.
'Well, yes. It's a nightmare. This is not reality!'
Heh, heh. Rosalyn forced her breathing to tighten.
'Wake up. It's all right. It's all right! It's not real here. It's not real!'
Couldn't that good Hannah be in hell?
'It's all just an illusion. It's an illusion! Odette told me. It's just a prison of time.'
Her thoughts of mental victory were interrupted like a spell.
Prison of time. It was because she understood the meaning.
This is the hell she will live in for the rest of her life, from which he will never escape.
Can we call a dream a dream that will never wake up? This was Rosalyn's harsh reality.
At that moment, Physik burst out of nowhere. Rosalyn turned her head to the side where the sneer had been heard, and Hannah raised the corners of her mouth. The corners of her mouth were strangely torn as if they could reach under her eyes.
"Do you understand now?"
From the corners of Hannah's torn mouth, a drooping voice that could only be heard from an old electric pole came out. Then her neck fell to the floor.
"...!"
As Rosalyn shook her head in surprise, the heads of everyone around her fell to the floor at the same time.
Chomak. Pat.
With the sound of an artery bursting, hot blood splattered on Rosalyn's face.
Human heads roll on the floor like spilled balls. It reminded her of them when they were thrown out by a disaster. The fallen heads giggled and laughed at Rosalyn in unison.
As if to tell Rosalyn to look forward to the eternity that will unfold in the future.
***
Only after it swallowed Rosalyn completely did the gates of hell dissipate in the depths.
'It's over now.'
Han Song-i will spend eternity there. Even if we suffer more than the price of our sins, hell will never end.
Karl's hell was not a place where sins were weighed and punished accordingly. It was a hell created by evil gods, punishing those who just wanted to punish them forever.
'She'll never get out. She will rot there until her soul wears out.'
Odette felt relieved that she had finally ended her bad relationship. But before she could enjoy the afterglow, the sound of the notification came rushing in.
[ The World Tree expresses its deep gratitude to the 'owner of the status window'! ]
[ The World Tree considers the 'owner of the status window' as a benefactor and gives you the title.]
[ Savior of Yggdrasil ]
Odette smiled. She was willing to accept the gratitude from the World Tree.
[ Purifier of Genesis ]
[ Healer of Origin ]
[ Guardians of Sanctuary ]
However, the ring, ring, and notification sound continued endlessly.
[ Holy and Affectionate Allies of the Divine Tree ]
[ The only savior of destruction and renewal ]
[ Only One Revert for the Lord of Time ]
[ The most unique and absolute meaning of the continent and the age ]
'Enough, stop, stop!'
Isn't the old man who is as big as the World Tree worse than I thought?
'Don't you have body aches? What kind of title is getting more and more unfamiliar?'
Odette dissuaded him, and the ringing stopped. Seeing Odette's burning face, the world tree seemed to have decided to say thank you differently.
[ The World Tree gives a gift to the 'owner of the status window'. ]
[ Reward: Laurel of Light ]
[ We can see the future through the World Tree. ]
A crown of light was placed over Odette's head like a tiara.
'...!'
At the same time, the future unfolded before her eyes.
A future where disaster has disappeared. Scenes of people enjoying their daily lives
peacefully in a world without fear.
The bell of the disaster no longer rang, and no more parents wept over the mutilated corpses of their children.
Areas where disasters frequently occurred became rich agricultural land, and all the people who flocked to the capital returned to their hometowns.
'...That's a good thing.'
However, the scene did not stop there. The World Tree showed a different scene this time.
In the past life, what kind of life did the four male protagonists, including Karl, live after Odette's death? How desperately they missed her.
Odette furrowed.
'Why do you bother to show me this?'
"Don't be afraid, do whatever you want."
The World Tree spoke in a golden voice. As if the oracle is the most important truth that Odette must protect.
"What does it mean?"
Odette asked, but the World Tree did not answer. He returns to his original state of contemplating everything and keeps silent.
"When you give me a title, you drop all the main folds. Why are you silent when I need an explanation?"
Odette protested, but the World Tree was only solemn.
"I'm going to do whatever I want. I know my heart best, so don't worry."
Odette muttered an excuse. When Karl and the World Tree say that, it sounds as if this is not Odette's real heart.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a floating sensation. Suddenly, something came to support her feet.
Odette looked down at her feet and saw a huge blue whale on her back.
"...!"
The blue whale was carrying the other male protagonists, including Karl, as well as the fallen males, Malea, Paula, and the Count, on its back.
"I'll give you a ride."
It seemed that the blue whale wanted to repay Odette for purifying the sea.
The whale with them on its back slowly pulled itself up to the surface.
As Odette distanced herself from the World Tree, she could see the huge World Tree at a glance. The huge peach tree standing in the middle of the clear turquoise sea reminded her of a mysterious paradise.
Right now, it was just peach blossoms, but soon, marine life will fill this place more beautifully. Just as the world tree showed the future.
When she came to the surface of the sea, the clear sunlight was shining on the sea. As Odette stared at the sparkling water, something belatedly came to her mind.
'Oh my God. I should have checked the men's physical condition first!'
She turned her head away. He found John, Victor, and Shion looking at her. They seemed to have opened their eyes as they came to the surface.
Shion was the first to speak.
"O...dette."
Shion's expression as he spat out her name and his expression was distorted as if he couldn't control his emotions. His voice was full of self-reproach and emotion.
Odette noticed it through his appearance.
'World Tree... You didn't just show me my past life.'
When he showed her the past lives of the transcendents, he seemed to show the past lives of the male lords.
'I was wrong.. Odette. I did everything wrong.'
Victor and John were silent, but they had the same expression as Shion. A distorted expression as if he were repentant. Odette could fully guess their feelings from the way they clenched their fists.
"Odette..."
It was the moment when John opened his mouth with a trembling voice. As if the status window was blocking his words, he hurriedly said, Ti-ring-!! It sounded so loud that it hurt her ears.
[ The status window takes the power from the 'owner of the status window'! ]
[ Status window returns everyone to their original position. ]
[ Coordinates: Albrecht Villa ]
[It is always useful to the 'master'!]
[ It is not even comparable to the other men who did nothing and fell asleep! ]
With a clear statement of containment.
