I hadn’t confirmed Yeon Taeseon’s status for a while.
The last thing I did was to have some strange things gnaw at the hole I was about to squeeze into, narrowing the space, and after finishing the coin calculation, I sent down those two scenarios.
But in the meantime, I don’t know what had happened inside the sacred artifact, but a strange something that should have been trapped in a virtual space had popped out.
“Insolent! This body is the princess of La-Perbenes…”
“Oh, okay.”
I looked at the crow with a disgruntled expression.
The crow, with one eye of milky diamond and the other of ruby, also seemed flusttered by this situation.
My Sun’s Eye sparkled and checked the state of the sacred artifact.
I could see a hole in one eye, as if it had been eaten by a bug.
Hmm. A bug.
A bug…
‘A parasite.’
It seems that the name of the parasite that Yeon Taeseon has to exterminate is La-Perbenes.
Of course, it was a name that didn’t matter.
What’s important is how these guys managed to stick their heads out into reality.
“How did you get here?”
“How did I get here? You speak as if this is a different space?”
Hmm, this princess-like thing doesn’t seem to know where this place is.
It’s foolish that she doesn’t even know what she did after gnawing at the sacred artifact of The Crow’s Ruins… and also cute…
‘No, no.’
Because of these guys, I! A Constellation with 0.02% content, am pulling a fast one!
I narrowed my eyes and glared at the milky diamond eye.
“This is a different space.”
“Oh? For that, I don’t feel the aura of our kind here at all?”
Hmm, the princess, who had rolled her eyes for a moment, made a judgment.
“This is another world! Get me out of here right now!”
…I promised myself that I would ask the Administrator later if there was a headache medicine for Constellations.
The parasite princess rolled her milky diamond eyeballs, as if she were fascinated by the new world she was seeing, and the jewel crow cawed, screaming, ‘Do something about it!’
Because of that, I had to stop injecting the jellyfish.
I briefly covered my ears for a moment, thinking that even a kindergarten would be quieter than this.
I was thinking of looking at Yeon Taeseon again, but the chattering princess paused.
“Hmm, His Majesty is here. I can’t do it. I’ll just have to eat this sweet starlight? or whatever.”
“His Majesty?”
“Hmm, you can’t feel it, can you? Human. There is a great being outside.”
I was about to correct her that I was a Constellation, not a human, but I gave up, thinking, ‘What am I doing with a bug?’
This auction house is cut off from the outside.
It’s to prevent the sacred artifact of the jewel crow from escaping, and at the same time, I’ve taken measures so that no one can see what’s happening here.
Because I don’t know what kind of trick The Crow’s Ruins will pull if he sees me responding.
But a great being?
While I was unable to decide whether to believe this bug or not, I looked outside through my Sun’s Eye.
And I saw.
The people in a state of confusion, the ordinary people who had knelt down in a daze.
The faintly trembling stars in the sky.
The endlessly floating system windows.
[The Constellation, ‘——‘, is in a panic.]
[The Constellation, ‘———-‘, is in a panic.]
[The Constellation, ‘—-‘, is in a panic.]
[The Administrator will temporarily suspend the said Constellation.]
[The Administrator will temporarily suspend the said Constellation.]
[The Administrator will……]
As if they had heard that the world would end tomorrow.
The Constellations were screaming, panicking, and crying beyond the system window.
And between those deep blue screams, there was an upside-down tower.
The Tower of Babel, built in the sky.
An unshakable root.
The Tilted Nebula.
“…What is that doing here?”
I muttered, dumbfounded.
No matter how much the Tilted Nebula eats, it just finished its meal a short while ago, and it’s already eyeing another world?
“You’ve noticed too, haven’t you. That’s His Majesty…”
I trapped the jewel crow in a water droplet.
While it became quiet in the soundproofed water droplet, I tried to organize my thoughts.
If it weren’t for the light pink system window that had been displayed before my eyes.
[Calamity-nim!]
It wasn’t the unpleasant pink color that had strangely eaten me and my contractors in the old days.
A soft pink like a cosmos petal.
As soon as I saw that color, I knew whose system window this was.
The Blooming Spring Flower.
She had bypassed the system set by the Administrator and sent me a message.
[Save me!]
[The crow is a crazy bastard]
[Save me!]
[Save me!]
[The crow and the Nebula]
[Nebulâ– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– ]
[â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– ]
The system windows with their urgent content popped up randomly without any interval.
As if a message sent from an inaccessible area was being sent as soon as it entered a callable area.
I immediately opened my nebula and tried to move to the nebula of The Blooming Spring Flower.
Because if it was a message that was this urgent, and even broken at the end, there was a high possibility that the main body had taken a severe blow.
But perhaps because I had foolishly cut myself off from the world.
The notification that popped up was utterly futile.
[The said nebula does not exist.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Blooming Spring Flower’, cannot be found.]
And I turned my gaze too late.
Emily, whom I had let escape.
She was screaming and vomiting blood, rolling on the floor.
[This is a contract breaker.]
The notification that popped up in my eyes as I looked at her was merciless.
The Blooming Spring Flower was dead.
The death of a Constellation does not happen easily.
First, the only ones who can kill a Constellation are another Constellation or a higher-ranking something.
Like the Administrator or the Tilted Nebula.
But neither had a reason to kill a Constellation.
The Administrator was in a position to protect the Constellations, and the Tilted Nebula seemed to be busy exploring the world right now.
Then the culprit is narrowed down to one of the many Constellations.
[The murder of a Constellation has been discovered.]
[All authority of the Constellation, ‘The Crow’s Ruins’, is revoked.]
The Crow’s Ruins, who was identified as the perpetrator, said nothing.
I had tried to open his nebula to hear his screams, but all I could hear were the voices of the other Constellations, filled with horror and criticizing him.
I had a hunch.
That the starting point of the Constellation War was here.
“You crazy bastard.”
When he was cornered to the point of being unable to recover, he declared war on the Administrator by killing a fellow Constellation, cut off all connections with the other Constellations, and then…
He probably ate The Blooming Spring Flower.
He would grow in power by eating that Constellation, and that would lead to more thirst and a desire for other Constellations.
Although the Administrator had revoked all his authority, that was not enough.
Even if he had closed The Crow’s Ruins’ nebula, confiscated his coins, and deleted his system usage rights.
Because those who have nothing to lose are the scariest.
A cold sweat broke out.
As I wiped my dry face and looked outside, the Tilted Nebula seemed to have noticed me and spoke to me.
Even if I was in a mere human body, there was no way that it wouldn’t recognize a being with a huge amount of starlight.
“You haven’t ascended?”
“And you’ve finally come here.”
“Because something called”
The Tilted Nebula, which had been laughing, trembled.
It was as if it were holding its stomach and laughing.
The people on the ground were terrified when the translucent tower suddenly trembled and fell into even more confusion, but I had no time to explain.
“Why are you here?”
“Help”
“Help!”
Who requested help?
It was obvious who it was.
It must be The Crow’s Ruins.
This guy had joined hands with the Tilted Nebula.
‘How narrow-minded can you be?’
I don’t know how he started the Constellation War before the regression, but what I did to him in this worldline… hmm, it was enough to make him angry, but was it to the point of turning the Administrator and other Constellations into enemies?
As if it had noticed my thoughts, the Nebula continued.
“The crow hates you.”
“I’m sure he does.”
“He hates the Administrator too.”
“Yeah…”
“So I will help.”
From the many windows of the Tilted Nebula, which had spoken in a slurred voice, a golden light leaked out.
It was not a holy or beautiful light, but a sticky light, as if a yellow slime were flowing.
From between the sacred artifact of the jewel crow, which I had completely forgotten, the princess’s words were heard.
“Ah.”
It was a word like a last gasp.
“I will pay my respects.”
At the same time, I felt it.
The sinner of the starry sky had disappeared.
The Crow’s Ruins had been expelled from the starry sky.
He was no longer a Constellation.
He had become a being that could not be called a Constellation.
The Tilted Nebula laughed.
“I made a younger sibling for myself.”
“He doesn’t want to be a Constellation anymore.”
