“………”

My body trembled.

I couldn’t restrain the surge of exhilaration running through me.
No words were necessary—my excitement was overwhelming.

Everything was exactly the same.

My last remembered state.
My stats, my options—none of them had changed.

…Even the fact that I opened the Gate, obtained the Vessel of Infinity, and reached Shedding!

Only one thing was different.

**“The fact that I learned Heavenly Demon Divine Art has vanished.”**

A single line that should have been written under <Special Notes> was missing.

The line stating that my Heavenly Demon Divine Art reached 6 stars, granting me a 1.6× increase in Star Power.

The 1.6× increase had been treated as “pure stats” and added to the base value.

This, too, differed subtly from the Eternal Monarch’s words.

He said everything would disappear—
Yet in reality, only the detail *that I had learned Heavenly Demon Divine Art* was gone.

**“Even the Eternal Monarch doesn’t know everything.”**

Perhaps…
Perhaps even he didn’t realize this possibility.

He discarded himself.
But I did *not* discard myself.
I merely reclaimed my rightful place.

In that process, parts that shouldn’t be discarded remained, merged, and only the unnecessary pieces fell away.

If so—

**“What if… I learn Heavenly Demon Divine Art again?”**

Would the amplification be calculated using my *current* Star Power?

At a baseline of 190?

One star alone would raise it by 19.
Ten stars would raise it by 380.

Even Randolph—the one who erased me and received power from “God’s Skin Hybrid”—never reached that level.

But I know the incantations.
The secret formulas of Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

With half expectation, half excitement, I recited them again—

《You cannot learn “Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”》

…Ah. As expected.

My body itself rejected it.
Like trying to wear clothing that simply does not fit.

Exhaling slowly, I checked the final—and most crucial—section.

<Activated Hidden Traits>

【Void】
【Dexterity】
【All Master】
【Weapon Master】
【Giant’s Anti-Magic】
【Beast Lord】
【Golden Grace】
【Mutant】
【Greed】
【Eye of Truth】
【Archdruid’s Great Nature】
【God of Blood Demons】
【God of Eternity】
【Heavenly(Celestial)】

Where “Eternal Monarch Randolph” should have been—

Both Monarch and Randolph were gone, replaced simply with the word **“God.”**

Just like “God of Blood Demons.”
A designation meaning I had reached a peak beyond any further ascent.

Yet even these developments were trivial compared to what happened next on the Island of God.

—

### 《The “Angel of Blessing” descends upon the Island of God.》

An angel.

What is an angel?

A messenger of God, a divine representative—
Such is the typical definition of an angelic being.

But until now, **Pangaenia has never once seen the appearance of an angel.**

Demons, devils, monsters—those were endless.

But an angel?
Not once.

So I couldn’t help but feel curious.
What form would a true “angel” take?

However—

### 《The “Eternals” sleeping on the Island of God awaken.》

### 《The “Eternals” receive the effect: Blessing.》

### 《The Island of God is connected to Earth.》

The Eternals.
A race of immortals who live forever.

Only when I saw them did I understand—

For they were not biological lifeforms.

Seeds were spreading across the island.
White seeds covering mountains, trees, rocks, and grass swelled with life, shaping themselves into tiny, fist-sized children.

“……Fairies, aren’t they?”

Isabella, who entered the island with me and witnessed the sight, murmured as well.

To her eyes too, they must clearly look like *fairies*.

Creatures that had once existed in Pangaenia and were classified as “monsters.”

—*Do not mistake us for ordinary “fairies.” We, the Eternals, can evolve into “Fairy Dragons.”*

Said the God’s Skin Hybrid.

**Fairy Dragon…!**

The moment I heard that, I couldn’t help but be impressed.

Fairy Dragons are considered one of the most powerful dragon species—
Mystical beings spoken of only in legends or myths, incomparable to ordinary dragons.

Meaning every single seed could potentially become a Fairy Dragon.

If they all did, they could overshadow even the Empire.

**“So this is why the Eternal Monarch tried to protect this place even at the cost of abandoning himself.”**

It was worth guarding.
Worthy of being called the *Island of God.*
A place with limitless potential—enough to threaten Destruction itself.

If other Gates held such possibilities…
The thought alone was overwhelming.

Then—

—*But… strange. We Eternals normally require extremely long periods to grow…*

The Hybrid tilted its head.

Perhaps due to the Angel of Blessing—

The Eternals were growing with abnormal speed.

Not all of them—
Only those farther from me.

The ones nearest to me grew slower and… could not even approach me.
As though my presence itself was overwhelming.

But that wasn’t the strangest part.

### 《The “Angel of Blessing” expels you.》

### 《A special measure to ensure proper growth of the Eternals.》

### 《The “completed one” cannot enter the island.》

…The master of the island—
**was forcibly expelled.**

—

—

I needed answers.
The reason I was expelled.
And why Earth was now connected to the Island of God.

So I logged out.

—

—

“……Your adaptability is extraordinary.”

Slurp.

I drank a warm Americano and looked around.

A café next to my home—the same place where I once met my ex-girlfriend, Kim Seoyeon and Kim Hana.

The café was still crowded, but everything else had changed.

It had expanded, been renovated, and even the name was now **“God’s Coffee.”**

And every staff member working inside—
were no longer human, but **BloodSpawn Demons.**

“Yes. By the great God’s will, we chose to assimilate with humanity.”

Darkened Alkar stood beside me and answered politely.

All of this—
changed entirely because of me.

I could understand them changing appearance, speech, mannerisms to resemble humans, but one thing was beyond comprehension.

“…With what money did you buy the building?”

The entire building was under their possession.
No—
all the buildings in my neighborhood were now under Bloodspawn Demon management.

“We sold the stones rolling inside the Dragon Vein.”

“…I see.”

Stones rolling inside the Dragon Vein—
they were essentially mana cores.

The Dragon Vein, composed of immense magical power, naturally infused even the smallest stones with magic.

And Pangaenia’s mana cores cannot be brought into reality.

The only way to obtain one on Earth is by killing invading monsters.

Naturally, the price of mana cores was astronomical.

They had sold those stones and purchased every nearby building.

**All to protect me.**

The intention was obvious.

The entire Darkened Alkar legion had moved into Eunpyeong-gu.
Assimilated among humans, without anyone suspecting them.

“But how? You’re clearly not human.”

Anyone with advanced detection or perception could tell instantly.

So why were they not discovered?

“Thanks to Lady Lucaria. She blessed all Bloodspawn Demons on Earth with her ‘Illusion’ blessing.”

Ah.

Now it made perfect sense.

Lucaria’s power was beyond what even transcendent players could detect.

And Darkened Alkar himself—

Even in human disguise, the sheer power he radiated was unimaginable.

Though… something about him was off.

“…Why do you look like that?”

“D–do you dislike it? Great God, forgive me for offending your divine eyes! I shall offer myself as sacrifice immediately—!”

…Why was he bald?

I couldn’t bring myself to ask.
Not with how violently he reacted.

“No. I meant it looks cool.”

“T-thank you!”

Every reaction he gave was unnecessarily intense.

*Anyway…*

I looked outside the window.

Across the street hung a banner:

**—Our hero, Korea’s hero, Park Tae-woo! We love you!—**

**—(Congrats) The Ruin City Rundella stands with Korea!—**

It looked like he was running for political office.

Park Tae-woo.
Korea’s strongest player, and the leader of the Hero Alliance.

When Issera invaded, Park Tae-woo negotiated with Lucaria—offering her the Ruin City Rundella as a gift.

I rubbed my chin.

**“I need to find the warp that connects to the Island of God.”**

Somewhere on Earth, the Island of God was connected.
But no matter how I searched, I couldn’t find it.

The only clue was the message:

**“The completed one cannot enter.”**

Meaning entry required special conditions.

*—A certain level cap, or a condition not yet fulfilled.*

These were the two most likely.

And the place with the most people who fit those criteria—

**“I suppose I should head there.”**

The Hero Alliance.

Where Park Tae-woo served as leader.

## *Hero Alliance Headquarters, Korea*

Inside a spacious office, a woman stared expressionlessly at the training arena.

“Haap!”
“Hyah!”

Two men were sparring—
their clumsy match prompted a deep sigh from the woman.

*Pathetic.*

Basara, the Seventh Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.

She was currently enjoying her stay on Earth.

She had joined the Hero Alliance and was appointed examiner for new recruits at Park Tae-woo’s request.

But the job was far more boring than expected.

Talentless.
Not worth evaluating.
There wasn’t a single candidate deserving anything but disappointment.

*Wilhelm… Your world is pitiful as well.*

Earth—not Pangaenia.
She had held faint expectations for a world of different ecology—

…but it seemed that beings who shone like Wilhelm simply did not exist anywhere.
