Chapter 10: A Change (2) (2/2)
Laguel simply replied, “Well, first, the flow of the prophecy has not stopped” Since the prophecy was still functioning, it meant that there was still a future left where Liber was saved
“A planet’s crisis is leading to the death of a galaxy?” another hero asked out loud “How the hell did that happen?”
Laguel shook her head and replied, “Sir, we don’t know”
“What?”
“There is very little information in the Celestial Realm about Liber’s present status”
The hall becaels didn’t know the cause of the situation, and they didn’t know the current situation in Liber, either
“How can you say there’s hardly any inforroups of recruits, you should still have so blocked or interrupted?”
“No,” Laguel continued “We ran into this problem because Liber’s connection with the Celestial Realm is random and unstable”
The hero who asked the question frowned “Random? Unstable?”
“We have tried to communicate with Liber several tinal”
“Wait Perhaps…”
The heroes stopped scowling, and their eyes grew bigger in shock
“Yes,” Laguel continued to speak with a soft voice “According to our speculation, the ‘World’ of Planet Liber has disappeared”
Thebecame more intense than ever before
“fuck! How does that make sense?” Giant Fist even jumped froot fucked, you’re basically asking us to throw our lives away!”
Chi-Woo’s eyes quickly moved ‘What does it mean that the World had disappeared?’
“Simply put…it means we’re on the same boat as you” The woman with the beret made a bitter sht?”
Heroes, chaer—these were all words that Chi-Woo had frequently heard before People were born mortal, and thus no one was born omnipotent Everyone had their li these humans, sometimes, very occasionally, special individuals who could surpass their limits were born Humans usually called these people heroes, and what made people heroes was not just their mental and physical abilities Heroes didn’t die easily, and even if they did die, they could be revived They could also turn back tie of the future that other people don’t know about, or possess various other perks In dangerous situations, unexpected allies always appeared, anda meal for heroes With the various forms of support provided by their World, heroes could always break through difficult circueration to say that the World revolved around its heroes Heroes were truly overpowering in every way, and they had no one who could compete with them
However, all of this was only true when the prerequisite of “to save the world” was attached to them Heroes were existences that the ‘World’ chose and wanted, and in exchange, these heroes saved the World However, in this case—
“The World disappeared…” Someone muttered in a dejected voice If a World died, this basically meant that the existence of heroes had also disappeared Rather than gaining any perks, they would arrive at Planet Liber and die easily like an extra, an expendable soldier without a proper nah difficulties in times of crisis like heroes, they’d have to worry about their lives first As the woman with the beret said, they would really just becos
“I didn’t expect to keep the power I got from a different World, but I can’t believe that we aren’t even able to get support from Liber’s World This is a bit…” The lion-htly slurred his words He even looked a bit scared
“Miss, I have a question,” a wo spoke up She was a priestess who had been praying with her eyes closed “What e be doing e arrive there?”
With her question, a sram, Chi-Woo sahat looked like the Earth’s world map
“Sir Chi-Hyun, who entered Planet Liber as one of the first recruits, succeeded in securing a relatively stable transhed in vain In other words, before Chi-Hyun went to Planet Liber, there hadn’t even been a proper trans sue-scale ritual or an oracle held by the natives of respective planets, this n to them
“Since then, we have been continuously dispatching new tea our doram map blinked and lit up And with this area as the center, parts of its eastern, western, southern, and northern areas began to light up one by one However, the rest of the oal of the fifth recruits was to recapture the northern part of the previously secured transmission point They were able to achieve soht in the northern area turned froht red “Not even a few days after its recapture, all communications froht red area turned gray like the rest of the map
“Since then, the sixth recruits had been dispatched to the outpost in the northern area, but our contact with theure out what’s going on,” Laguel continued with a blank voice “The seventh recruits were originally going to be dispatched to the center outpost, and their goal was going to be re-entering the northern base while cooperating with the existing teah they couldn’t do anything right away, this was a realistic goal
But there was a twist in Laguel’s folloords “However, the prophecy changed our goal”
Those ere nodding stopped
“The seventh recruits are going to be dispatched right here” The northern part of the center, which had lost its light, began blinking again “You will be sent here to investigate and re-occupy the northern outpost” In other words, the seventh team had to find out what happened to the fifth and sixth recruits who they lost contact with and recapture the northern area of the central territory This was the purpose and goal of the seventh recruit team
“I will take the liberty to say that we don’t expect you or the previous recruits to save Liber,” Laguel looked back at the audience and said “You just need to create the conditions for salvation to be possible” In short, they were going to sacrifice Liber to save the galaxy
nobody knehat to say in response They were completely lost Everyone knew that the number of applicants had decreased as more recruit teams were sent out For example, there were much fewer heroes in the seventh recruitment than the fifth recruitment, and the quality of heroes had also decreased However, Laguel had announced that they were going to be dispatched to where the Celestial Realm had lost contact with the two previous teao on a suicide et aid from the Celestial Realm or support and protection from a World
“I have a question” After a short silence, someone spoke up It was a hero with an alien head and a thick book “Are you sure that the goal you just announced was given by the prophecy?”
“Yes, of course,” Laguel replied without an ounce of hesitation
“Then there should still be a future where Liber can be saved” The hero tilted his long head and closed his book “There ed Ae is related to what had happened earlier?”
Laguel’s eyes slightly narrowed, but she fixed her expression before anyone could notice “That—sir, what do you inally judged to be suitable were sent away, and ed to be unsuitable ca-headed hero calmly continued, “After that hero came in” He turned his head back and looked at Chi-Woo “A-headed hero (that Chi-Woo judged to be a ht noe are in an unprecedented and ridiculous situation in which a World has disappeared On top of that, the prophecy had set an evenits past decisions” The long-headed man looked even more intently at Chi-Woo “A or so the seventh recruits?”
As soon as he finished talking, a large number of heroes stared at Chi-Woo Giant Fist blinked in surprise, and the wo-headed uel calmly said “We don’t knohen the prophecy was revised, and I’iven” Her words were very vague
“…Yeah, that’s your stance” The long-headed azes shi+ft froh he still felt sonore thee
“Everyone, please stand up from your position now” As if to draw the attention frouel’s beautiful voice resonated in the air
Those ere seated began standing up one by one Laguel waved her hand The portal that had disappeared at the stage’s center reappeared “Since this is a very urgent matter, we’ll prepare to transport you as soon as you enter this portal” Laguel had said everything there was to say It was now tiuel added before anyone could e your uel’s words took an unexpected turn “I’m sure none of you expected this, and it’s reasonable to think that this is too uel had said that once they heard about the current situation, no one would be allowed to turn back, but she now changed her tune Her motives were clear as she continued, “If you swore to keep all of this inforuel pointed her thu back”
In a way, Laguel’s words were very co “Now, those ish to enter despite all the risks, please e” She then turned to Chi-Woo with an earnest gaze and continued, “And the rest of you, please exit through the portal at the end of the stairs”
As soon as she finished, everyone in the hall beganat the sale hero, without fail, e
