Capítulo 509: 923
After Story 1. Comeback
Year 40 of Fairy power.
Humanity had finally conquered all black dungeons.
It seemed peace had come to the world.
However, that was just another beginning.
"─Only oppa can do it."
Year 44 of Fairy power.
Destruction was still close at hand.
* * *
Jung-gu, Seoul, Pandora Clan Hall.
The clan hall, which had been half-destroyed by Mein Abaddon's attack, was rebuilt and had maintained its place for 22 years, undergoing several expansions.
By now, the clan hall in Jung-gu was considered the heart of Jung-gu, Seoul, and even Korea.
In the Eun-ha Religion located in its basement.
"To solve the calamity facing humanity, we need to go back to the past and change the future. Our power alone has limits."
The woman spoke as if certain.
She was a striking woman with long purple hair, two horns protruding from her head, red eyes indicating she was an Ain, and finally a demon tail.
"So we need help from the past. That's the only way."
Noh Yu-eun, born between Noh Eun-ha and Iriya, now 20 years old.
Inheriting the title <Saint of the Religion> from her mother who became the <Holy Mother of the Religion>, she was the symbolic figure of the country after Noh Eun-ha and Ha Baek-yeon, and was considered the headquarters of the Eun-ha Religion itself.
Meanwhile, her conversation partner was also a famous person.
"You're telling me to regress like father and change the future?"
The eldest son of the Noh Eun-ha family, Noh Yu-seong.
Born between Noh Eun-ha and Han Seo-hyeon, now 24 years old, he was considered by some to be the one to inherit everything from Noh Eun-ha.
He was also the beloved nephew of Han Seo-yeon, the chairman of the Sirius Group that influenced the whole world.
"I'd like to if I could. But as you know well, regression requires a lot of compensation. We don't know how that compensation will work in the regressed world. It's not impossible, but the risk is high."
"Then what are you planning to do?"
"We'll send the current you to the past temporarily, within a range where we can handle the compensation."
"You'll send me as I am? Then I'll meet the past me..."
"Don't worry about that. We'll somehow manage that compensation on this side. Even if you meet your past self, there won't be any problems."
"Isn't this too reckless?"
"Sending you to the past is already reckless, what can we do? Me, father, and mothers all concluded this is the only way."
"But if I'm going to change the past, wouldn't it be better for father or mothers or others to go back?"
Noh Yu-seong asked.
To this, Noh Yu-eun's red eyes widened.
"Do you have any thoughts or not?"
"I don't want to hear that from you..."
"If others go back to the past, who will protect the future?"
"Still, one person should be possible..."
"It's possible. But the cost would be huge."
"Is that so?"
"There's not much difference in sending someone. The problem is the difference in the cost recognized by your past self. If the past father recognizes the future father... The cost we'd have to bear would be enormous. So sending you, who's just a kid in the past, is less burdensome."
"I see..."
"Also, <Stargazing Witch> and <Time Witch> said children of father like you or me are relatively free from the world's causality."
"Then you could go too."
"I need to stay here and monitor the situation."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go. But when am I going back to?"
"I think the most optimal time to go back to the past and change the future would be Year 24 of Fairy power."
"Year 24 of Fairy power is certainly..."
"The year father conquered the world's first black dungeon."
"...When I was four years old."
"From that point, a worldwide black dungeon conquest craze blew up, and the world's mana became mixed. If we had corrected the beginning of the calamity then, the situation wouldn't have gotten this bad."
"So that's why it's the optimal time. You're not wrong. The problem is, how are we going to go back to that time? I think we'll need coordinates to go back to that exact time..."
"I have the coordinates here."
Noh Yu-eun pulled out a book from her chest and held it out to Noh Yu-seong.
Noh Yu-seong's eyes narrowed coldly.
It was an expression reminiscent of Han Seo-hyeon.
"It's good to put things in subspace with the wormhole magic father taught, but do you have to use it like that?"
"You don't know, oppa, but there's no coordinate that can hold as many items as the chest while still being recognized as part of my body. It's actually part of the body. And it's highly secure, right?"
"You could put it in your pocket, in your pocket."
"The moment you look inside a pocket, you become aware of the space. Doesn't that limit the size of the subspace in your subconscious?"
"Then what about the chest? If it's about space, wouldn't that be even narrower?"
"How can you be sure about that? Can you really be certain? Can you gauge the space between breasts?"
"..."
"You can't know until you see it. Because you don't know, you can define the size of the space as infinite. Well, you wouldn't know since your chest is flat."
"Riya mother doesn't do this, why do you only come up with weird ideas... No, Riya mother was like this too."
"Don't badmouth our mom, firstborn."
"Your mom is my mom too, you know? Don't embarrass Riya mother. And call me oppa, fifth."
"I don't understand why oppa is like this when father treats small aunt well."
"You should have done as well as small aunt."
"I think I did well enough. At least I'm better than Yu-ju, right?"
"That kid is really... So what is this?"
Noh Yu-seong snatched the book.
It was a hardcover book with a black cover.
At the very top center was engraved the crimson wing that was once the symbol of the Eun-ha Religion.
"The scripture of the Eun-ha Religion?"
"It's the book that forms the basis of that scripture. After mother went to conquer the <Dungeon of the Abyss> to reestablish the system of doctrines..."
"So it's like a novel full of Riya mother's delusions."
"Don't badmouth our mom, firstborn."
"Call me oppa, fifth."
"I really hate oppa."
"That's what I want to say. So this is the coordinate?"
"Yes, that will be the coordinate."
Noh Yu-seong turned the cover of the book.
The preface contained Iriya's elegant handwriting and childlike drawings in comparison.
The world was like chaos. We desperately wished for a savior to bring order to that chaos.
Then, the crimson god descended and pacified the chaos, becoming order. That day became the first day, Monday.
On the second day, the crimson god took the angel of reign as a companion. Thus Tuesday was born.
On the third day, the crimson god took the angel of knowledge as a companion. Thus Wednesday was born.
On the fourth day, the crimson god took the angel of harmony as a companion. Thus Thursday was born.
On the fifth day, the crimson god took the angel of protection as a companion. Thus Friday was born.
On the sixth day, the crimson god fell in love with Saint Iriya. Thus love was born in the world, and joyful Saturday was born. ♥♥♥
On the seventh day, the crimson god rested comfortably. Thus Sunday was born.
And so the world became peaceful..."What's with the cancellation line in the middle?"
"On Sunday... Father didn't rest and sowed seeds in Baek-yeon mother. And... Mother removed Monday to Sunday from the scripture altogether."
"That was a good choice..."
"Haha..."
"Hahaha..."
Yu-seong and Yu-eun let out hollow laughter.
They could only laugh.
They had to laugh.
Thus the two shared a poignant emotion looking at each other.
Soon Noh Yu-eun composed her face.
"Anyway, if we set this book as a medium, theoretically we should be able to send oppa to Year 24 of Fairy power."
"Is it really possible to set coordinates with just one book?"
"Of course. This book can be considered part of father and mother's myth after all. It's not just a simple book."
"Theoretically being able to send means it hasn't been verified yet."
"That's why the eldest son oppa will verify the hypothesis."
"..."
"Don't worry too much. It will succeed with high probability."
Noh Yu-eun opens her chest wide.
Noh Yu-seong still couldn't erase his sour face.
However, as Noh Yu-eun said, it could be said that going back to the past to change the future was the best way to solve the calamity humanity is facing now.
If asked who among Noh Eun-ha's children would accomplish this task, it could only be himself, the eldest.
"Alright, I'll do it."
"I knew oppa would say that!"
"I believe in you. You must succeed."
"Just trust me. Who do you think I am."
"A little sister who acts all high and mighty thinking she's someone great after being revered by believers, and yet keeps making mistakes despite that."
"Oh really? Then should I make a mistake? Want to be trapped in the cracks of time forever?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
* * *
Sending Noh Yu-seong to the past.
The plan that started from Noh Yu-eun's idea was steadily progressing with help not only from Pandora Clan executives but also various helpers.
Among them was the Mana Management Organization.
"Calculating the movement of celestial bodies, the opportunity for mana to resonate most strongly with our will is only tonight. We absolutely must not fail as we don't know how long we'll have to wait for the next chance if we miss this opportunity."
In the monitoring room of the Mana Management Organization's Management Bureau.
Song Yun-seo, the <Stargazing Witch> who became the minister of the Mana Management Organization when Ha Baek-yeon was inaugurated as the 2nd Fairy, said.
Despite considerable time passing since conquering the <Dungeon of the Abyss>, the passage of time couldn't be felt from her.
Rather, her beauty had matured and an air of elegance emanated from her.
This applied not only to her, but to others as well.
"Just now, responses arrived from all administrative districts in Seoul. Installation of auxiliary devices for magic complete. They say they can operate anytime once the order is given. Ha-yang, can I ask you to check the mana status of each administrative district?"
Yoon Yi-byeol, who became the youngest vice minister of the Korean Mana Management Organization since its establishment, recognized for her excellent abilities.
Called the <Witch of the Management Bureau>, she was considered a likely candidate to succeed Song Yun-seo's minister position.
Whether she wanted it or not.
Unlike the past, she now had long hair and wore contacts again, and her face seemed to overflow with confidence.
"Yes, leave it to me. That's why I came here."
Meanwhile, Jeong Ha-yang was assisting Yoon Yi-byeol beside her.
With her hair tied with a pink ribbon resting on one shoulder, her eyes moved incessantly trying not to miss even small information.
By now, she boasted tremendous information processing ability.
[It's really a shame every time I see it. With that level of skill, she could smoothly operate the library, but she's just a sub-lord of a mere clan...]
"Master, isn't our clan a bit too big to be called a mere clan?"
[...Well, you've grown so big. Noh fellow married the Fairy and elevated the clan to almost a national institution level, after all.]
At that moment, a boy who looked like an elementary school student appeared on one of the dozens of monitors.
It was <Index> Yoon Seong-jin, who stepped down from the head of the 3rd generation Twelve Seats and was made a director of the International Mana Management Organization by Noh Eun-ha at some point.
He still cursed Noh Eun-ha for making him work.
Jeong Ha-yang, knowing his efforts, could only give a bitter smile.
"So Master, there's still no particular anomaly, right?"
[Not at the moment. We're not observing all calamities with our eyes, but it seems the ones we're keeping an eye on haven't noticed anything yet.]
"Phew, that's fortunate for now. For now."
[Yes, it's fortunate for now... But surely when the magic activates, those calamities will notice too. So you've prepared countermeasures, right?]
"That's the job of the others, but... It'll be fine, everyone."
[I hope so. I'll relay the movements of those guys to <Electric Brain>.]
"Yes, please do."
Mo Ra-yul, who is still active as the manager of the Player Library, recognized for her excellent skills even after Ha Baek-yeon's government took office.
In the past called <Big Data>, she was now called <Electric Brain> as the epitome of the library.
Jeong Ha-yang ended the communication with Yoon Seong-jin and decided to view the information he said he sent to the library.
But because there was so much work, she decided to leave it to others.
She instructed the clan members who came here with her.
"Yu-jeong, Tae-hee. Can you check the information <Index> said he sent to the library instead?"
"Okay, leave this to us."
"Yes, unnie. I'm looking at it now."
Lee Yu-jeong, who became a navigator after graduating from the academy while raising children, wanting to be of help to Eun-ha.
She nodded vigorously with her hair tied up.
On Tae-hee also assisted her.
"Mi-ye, please help Yi-byeol."
"Okay, I will. Yi-byeol unnie, what can I help with?"
"Ah, then..."
Seon Mi-ye moved to the seat next to Yoon Yi-byeol to assist her.
At that time, telepathy was transmitted to the people in the Management Bureau.
[This is Jin Seo-na. Fairy Ha Baek-yeon's preparations are all complete.]
<Miho> Jin Seo-na, who handed over the position of National Ain Life Welfare Association representative to <Healing Notes> Kim Mary and became the spokesperson for Pandora Clan.
At her clear telepathy, people decided to start the operation.
Jeong Ha-yang opened her mouth.
"Mary. Please send the content Seo-na just sent to each location."
"Yes, leave it to me."
Kim Mary with long light gray hair responded calmly.
She sent telepathy to each location, and soon responses arrived.
There was also a response from Pandora Clan.
[Ariel sending from the clan hall! It's the Lin Lin twins' response! Message received well! We're ready on this side too! Unnie, but Yu-seong going to the past and doing things to us... Ah, I'll cut this part! Eun-ha and Seo-hyeon unnie are glaring! Our son isn't a playboy, right! This was Ariel!]
It was telepathy from <Mermaid> Ariel, who once dominated the entertainment industry.
Those with connections to Pandora Clan gave bitter smiles thinking of her and the twin sisters who seemed unchanged despite aging.
