Apocalypse’s All-Rounder Mischief

Overlord's Power (3)

After a while, Patus appeared with Papilio and others.

In the meantime, Pafilio and Stella politely bowed in front of Junyoung, how they persuaded them.

“Papilio, Lord of Destiny, I will offer my allegiance to the great Overlord Kang Junyoung.”

“Lord of Destiny, Stella, I will follow the will of Overlord Kang Junyoung from now on.”

Junyoung's feelings looking at them were complicated.

In fact, Junyoung was not directly harmed by them, but they are also like Patus.

They are the demons among the demons who have brought terrible disasters to countless small worlds in the name of judgment of fate.

The beings that one day decided to destroy them all.

However, Junyoung did not show such hostility towards them.

It was because they had come to cooperate with him, yielding themselves.

“I intend to bring the Earth back to its pre-apocalyptic calamity. We need your cooperation in this regard.”

Since Pathus had already given a detailed explanation, Junyoung did not speak at length.

Is that so?

Papilio and others responded with a nodded expression on their faces as if they were prepared.

"Even though it was because of Benator's orders, we committed an irreparable crime."

“I am grateful for the opportunity to repent for him.”

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to repent.

As with Pathus, each of them speaks beautifully.

I don't know if you really think so.

“I’m glad you think so.”

Junyoung nodded.

Then he asked again.

“If there is nothing else to say, we are going to implement a regression right now. What is your opinion?”

“Already?”

“Right now?”

Papilio and others were astonished.

"Of course. Right Now. Is there any reason to procrastinate?”

Then they shook their heads with a dead expression on their faces.

"no. We are ready at any time. but······."

"but?"

“Please. Please show mercy later and resurrect us. I don’t want to be forgotten forever after being destroyed like this.”

Was that what you wanted to say?

The way they look at each other looks like the girls who have had a major accident and are dead.

Why do you look so pitiful?

I wonder if they are indeed the lords of fate.

“Okay, stop it. Anyway, I know you are deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of me.”

Then Pafilio and Stella jumped.

“I’m not pretending to be pitiful, I’m truly sorry.”

"that's right. Please release your anger towards us. As you know, we also have a lot of injustice.”

“What is embarrassing?”

When Junyoung asked with a confused expression, Stella answered, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

“I know it’s an excuse, but when Benator-sama was overlord, we had no choice but to obey his orders.”

"So you're saying there's nothing wrong with that?"“It is not. The reason is that it is something we did and we are trying to be held accountable for it. But rather than disappear and be forgotten like this, I want to be reborn and live a new life as a monarch.”

“New life? In what way?”

“It will depend on your will. We cannot go against the will of your overlord.”

They say the reason in every word, but in the end, they want to resurrect it.

He seemed quite worried that Junyoung would resurrect them.

“Don’t worry. I will resurrect you once and for all.”

At Junyoung's words, Pafilio and Stella, as well as Pathus' expressions brightened.

“Really?”

“Thank you, Overlord.”

“I will never forget the overlord’s grace.”

A bright smile appeared on all of their faces.

I don't even know when I put on a sad expression.

Is it really a festival atmosphere?

“But there is no second chance. After that, if anything goes against my will, I will destroy it immediately, without warning.”

Junyoung spoke in a threatening tone, but the complexion of Pathus and others was still bright.

Rather, they spoke with a somber expression.

“Don’t worry, Overlord.”

“We will never go against the will of the Overlord.”

“I believe only in the overlord’s promise to resurrect.”

Immediately, they stood drawing a triangular shape centered on Junyoung.

“Now we are ready, Overlord.”

“According to the will of the Overlord, we intend to bear all the chastisement.”

“I sincerely hope that the overlord will succeed in returning to the time he desires.”

Although the tone was hoarse, they were trembling with their eyes closed tightly as to what they were afraid of.

This is probably because they disappear as soon as the return succeeds.

However, it was strange that he was trembling like that, even though Junyoung promised to resurrect him, not eternal extinction.

“The will of the monarchs coincided with the will of the overlord. Now that all the conditions have been fulfilled, I will execute the regression if you order it.”

These were the words of Heros.

Junyoung nodded.

As long as the conditions are complete, there will be no reason to hesitate.

To turn everything back!

It is truly a new sensation.

‘Is the Earth finally returning to normal?’

Except for Junyoung, everything on Earth returns to its pre-apocalyptic state.

Of course, this may not be good for everyone.

Not because of the apocalypse, but for those who were in the midst of the pain and despair of ordinary life on Earth, and those who thought they would rather die.

When the earth returns to its original state, some people may be happy, but others will still struggle with excruciating pain and serious despair due to the evil circumstances of their lives.

But.

The apocalypse of the end destroyed the Earth itself.

It has taken away any opportunity for people to choose anything.

We want to bring it back now.

‘This may not be the best for everyone, but there is no other way. For me, this is the best.’

Junyoung also doesn't consider this choice perfect.

It's just the best he can do.

“Perform regression, Heros.”

"I obey the overlord's orders."

Heros bowed again politely.

At the same time, his body radiated a bright brilliance as if it was exploding.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!

A dazzling, intense brilliance!

Everything in the dimensional plane was covered in its brilliance, and nothing could be seen.

with the only exception.

It was Junyoung.

The brilliance that was so intense that even the light of the sun looked like a mere firefly did not give him any glare.

He just stood there quietly.

A storm of brilliance swirled around him in an ultra-wide area.

‘The Great Chaos itself.’

It's as exciting as watching a movie on a huge three-dimensional screen on a dimensional scale.

However, Junyoung, who watched the process of regression with a curious expression, quickly hardened.

‘That one?’

The three monarchs stood at three points as if drawing a triangle around him.

Pathus, Papilio, Stella.

Because their appearance was so miserable.

“Aaaaah-!”

“Aww!”

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The brilliance of all colors turned into a terrible mold, binding them and giving them pain without mercy.

Not only did he chop off the head, but he also pierced his whole body with countless needles and burned him with blazing heat.

As the lords of fate, their recovery is fast and they are constantly suffering without being destroyed.

“What is that doing now, Heros?”

“The Lords are paying the price for their return.”

“Wasn’t it just annihilation?”

“Punishment for sins is essential. It will be destroyed after it has been subjected to all the punishment it deserves.”

Was it like that?

It was only then that Junyoung could understand why Patus and others had such a fearful expression on their face.

The price for return!

Punishment for their sins!

about how terribly painful it entails.

'after.'

They are the beings that I hated very much, but the fact that they are suffering so much doesn't make me feel good.

‘The one who really deserves such a punishment is Benator.’

Of course, Pathos and others should also be punished.

Still, I'd rather just kill him, and I don't want to inflict such extreme pain.

“I think it’s over now, so stop.”

“For regression, there must be a price for it. If you stop punishing like this, the return you want will not come true.”

Like the system, Heros answered with a calm expression as if he had no emotions.

Seeing Patus and others in excruciating pain, he was looking at him as if it was natural.

But Junyoung is a human, not a system.

Even though he has become a transcendent being with great abilities, his heart is still human.

'They really wanted to tear them apart...'Yes.

It was Junyoung, who was grinding their teeth while thinking of how to kill them in the most horrific way.

To the extent that it could be said that this was the source of his perseverance, he made a vow for revenge and did it again and again.

But it wasn't very pleasant for them to be in such a situation.

‘I’ll keep an eye on it though.’

Because you can't give up on a comeback.

Because sympathy for the demons doesn't keep you from giving up on something that really matters.

So Junyoung is not happy, but for a while he watched Patus and others being punished with pain.

But even after a long time, their punishment did not stop.

“How long do we have to go on, Heros?”

“As I said before, they will perish after receiving all the punishment they deserve.”

“So, how long is that time?”

It's about knowing how long you'll have to wait.

It's frustrating to wait indefinitely without knowing the deadline.

“It’s only a moment in your time, but from the point of view of the small world called Earth, it will take at least billions of years.”

“Billions of years?”

"That's right."

Heros smiled and nodded.

Junyoung stared at him with a ridiculous expression.

“Is that a moment?”

『From your point of view as the ruler of the dimensional world, it is only a brief moment. After that time, the desired regression will be achieved, so you just have to watch it as it is.”

Billions of years are just a moment!

Well, if so, it might be

Junyoung has been around for a long time now, regardless of time.

But that's it, he only possesses such immortal vitality, and his heart has not reached that stage.

This is because he is a human being who still feels the 24 hours of Earth time through his skin.

As such, it was difficult for him to accept that no matter how many sins such as Patus had committed, they had to suffer such a terrible punishment for billions of years.

‘It’s a pity, though.’

Aside from sympathy, Junyoung herself is also suffering.

'crazy! Are you telling me to be like this for billions of years now?’

In a way, it seems that Patus and others are not the only ones being punished.

Junyoung, who has to watch them for billions of years, is in fact receiving a similar punishment.

“How to save time?”

“If the overlord suffers the same pain as they do, the time will be shortened by one hundredth.”

“Even if it’s a hundredth, that’s tens of millions of years.”

"That's right. Still, it's not a bad idea if you're bored of waiting."

Heros asked calmly, as if he would do so.

Junyoung chuckled.

“Okay. Any other way?”

No matter how pitiful Patus was, it was not enough to accept such a punishment.

“Although there is another way.”

“Come on, tell me. what is that?"

『Consuming the Dimensional Fragment not only shortens the period of punishment, but also exempts the punishment itself.』

In an instant, Junyoung's eyes lit up.

This is because they have a whopping 482 dimensional fragments.
