Episode 155. Parent (2)

Even as the messages were flying in, I was guessing at the Chamber of Commerce's intentions.

“It’s a consignment operation······.”

It felt like I was in a scene from history.

The Chamber of Commerce has left the Earth in the hands of a higher dimension called 'Pyrene'.

It felt like big companies were dumping their annoying work onto subcontractors.

'······Why?'

It may not be a simple shortage of manpower.

It was a chamber of commerce that dispatched employees not only to the continental headquarters, but also to branches in each country.

'One thing that comes to mind is······.'

The clue was in the location they chose.

London, where Tottenham Investments was hidden.

If you want to catch the culprit who ruined the auction······this is where you should look first.

Flutter!

The angels of Florence spread their wings and flew in.

They circled around the towering Big Ben, while the rest of the angels swarmed around the gates of the Palace of Westminster.

What if those pigeons have hidden navigational abilities?

Of course, since it was swallowed whole in subspace, there was no way any traces would remain, but for the time being, I decided to carefully watch the movements of the Firenze dimension.

And as it has always been······.

Tiring!

The Chamber of Commerce's message continued.

[The formation of Earth's 'dimensional core' begins now.]

Dimensional core.

That was the name of the gift prepared by the Chamber of Commerce.

A view of the gate nucleus entangled in neural circuits, as seen in the basement of the Mayar Castle.

It was more than just a gate, it was the core of cores that would become the center of the dimension······.

[Anyone above the 7th rank can participate in the formation of the 'Dimensional Core'.]

[If you wish to participate, please enter through the designated passage.]

It was something we had to make ourselves, despite the name gift.

Is this asking us to declare ourselves as Earthlings?

The Chamber of Commerce was opening the way for us.

None other than through the Red Gates installed all over the world.

Woohoo······.

The Red Gate, which was shaking with all kinds of vibrations······.

Hwaaaaah!

It soon changed to blue, allowing traffic in both directions.

***

Wheeeeeeing!

A clear breeze blew.

The bushes planted between the thick rocks swept like flags.

“I expected it, but······.”

The gate portal led to nothing other than the Sky Island.

The ruined city of London was visible like grains of sand beneath the steep cliffs.

The place we arrived at was a large plaza surrounded by tall rock pillars, and the Awakened from all over the world who had arrived earlier were stationed here and there.

“Why are there so many?”

Kim Sol added to the rumbling voice.

Anyone above level 7 can participate.

Because the conditions were much more relaxed than those of the Dimensional Expo, hundreds of people flocked to the event.

I was also accompanied by Kim Sol, Unyang, and Lee Yongsu.

“There are a lot of people······ There will be a lot more people who don’t participate.”

How many of Earth's survivors actually trust the Chamber of Commerce?

I don't know, but I think there are more people who curse rather than trust.

Because they represented the invaders to us.

Unless you are forced to participate, it would be better for the average Awakened to focus on survival.

Nevertheless, those who crossed the gate had a special purpose.

'Either you're aiming for the dimensional core like me, or······.'

Or at least 'a part' of the Chamber of Commerce is trusted.

As expected, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of me.

“I didn’t expect to see you here. Are you worried about the safety of the Earth now?”

"hmm?"

A somewhat sarcastic voice.

The main character was none other than Parker, who had participated in the exhibition.

It was the Canadian Awakened who had been ensconced in Olympus, but luckily this time he was wearing his pants properly.

The guy added to me.

“This is an important event that will determine the future of the Earth. Someone like you who has no sense of mission······.”

“You got the top 5 just like you wanted. What are you dissatisfied with?”

“In the end, you rejected all the investments!”

This was that 'part'.

The belief that even though it is a ruthless chamber of commerce, it will help growth based on principles.

Parker understood the Chamber of Commerce not as a money-making group, but as a kind of strategic facilitator.

“You should have received investment! If you had leveled up with that and climbed the hierarchy, wouldn’t you have been able to strengthen the power of the Earth together…!”

Parker stamps his feet as if he is frustrated.

That pure thought made my heart burst, but······.

“Shut up!”

A booming voice cut off Parker's words.

Angels with folded white wings were gathering from all directions.

They were the angels of 'Pyrene', the higher dimension in charge of running the Earth.

“This Sky Island is the sacred territory of Pyrene, and the dimensional headquarters with a great calling. I will not tolerate any reckless behavior.”

A huge body that appears to be about 2 meters tall.

They were all wearing thick iron masks, their upper bodies exposed.

“Normally, this is not a land that lower-dimensional beings like you would dare enter. The only exception is now… that is, when the dimensional core is being created.”

As the Chamber of Commerce announced, they were acting as our guides.

From now on, it would be up to the Earthlings to help them create the dimensional core, although it remained to be seen whether their true role would be assistance or surveillance.

“Okay, follow me.”

The passage is a tall staircase leading to the upper level of the Sky Island.

The representative angel, wearing a silver crown on his head, walked up first······.

“Stop standing there blankly!”

“Move quickly!”

Other angels urged the Awakened ones like training camp instructors.

So the place we arrived at following the angels of Florence was······.

"oh······."

It was a beautiful landscape of vast grasslands.

step······.

“Shut up!”

“End!”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

If only there weren't hundreds of 'gate hacks' flying around above it.

In short, this was a 'gate nuclear farm' run by the Dimensional Headquarters.

The chief angel opened his mouth, locking the two doors made of green bars.

“A dimensional core isn’t created overnight. Rather, the more you properly build the basics… it will become a solid foundation. It will become the foundation for your dimension to advance to a higher dimension.”

The dumb Parker nodded, and the rest of the Awakened seemed to agree in general.

That's understandable, since most of the people gathered here believed that the Chamber of Commerce would help them grow.

Maybe I was thinking of all this as some kind of game quest.

And just as they hoped······.

“What you have to do from now on is to tame the gate core here.”

The angel also gave a mission.

'You tamed it······?'

It was something I never expected.

I just came back from Sabros to see the dimensional core.

I had a vague idea that the gate core would be used as a material, but I didn't know that I would have to grow it myself.

“No, what the heck is all that······.”

“Was that tamed?”

The Awakened people of Earth also had confused expressions.

They too must have opened and closed interdimensional gates and dealt with gate cores.

You probably never dreamed that you would have to raise a bright yellow monster with eyes, nose, and mouth all mixed up.

In front of the hundreds of Gate Hack monsters, the angel added.

“Only one······ Only one of these can become the dimensional core of Earth.”

Raising a single gate core that will become the dimensional core.

That was the whole story of the 'Dimensional Core Formation' project.

It was a task I didn't like at all······.

“It’s not a bad thing for you either. If you can cultivate a dimensional core… you’ll be able to have influence over the entire dimension.”

There was a worthy reward prepared.

“The Gate Core will see, learn, and grow as you awaken. The Core is the core of the core that affects the entire dimension. Eventually, Earth will be reorganized around your awakening powers.”

For example, it was like this.

If the martial artist Yun Yang were to raise the dimensional core, the Earth would become a space filled with abundant qi and internal energy.

If we can grow it, tracks, rails, and tunnels will be created all over the planet.

Finally, if Kim Sol raises it, defensive barriers will appear all over the Earth.

If awakening ability is a kind of superpower,

The ability to extend that superpower to the external environment.

In other words······.

'······Are you crazy?'

It was an ability that changed the course of awakening ability itself.

Although there was a limitation that it was limited to within the Earth.

Yongsu Lee, who had been thinking deeply, said to me.

“Mr. Jeong-gyeom, what could this be······.”

“Yes, if we succeed in nurturing the dimensional core······.”

Maybe he would become the king representing the Earth.

It was clear that the world was being reorganized around one person.

A loud commotion.

The Awakened people of other Earths were also not unaware of its meaning.

In order to secure the gate nuke as quickly as possible, they all crowded together in front of the main gate······.

“Then let’s begin.”

Woof woof!

At the angel's signal, you and I ran into the ranch.

As the Awakened spread throughout the ranch, the angel explained to them how to tame the Gate Core.

“The method is simple. You just have to consistently show the nuke your awakening ability. No one knows whether it will be thousands or tens of thousands of times······ If I may give you some advice, it would be better to slowly show them the basic skills. And I hope you don’t attack or hit the gate nuke. It’s the same with scaring them. You have to make the gate nuke follow you······.”

From a strong foundation to banning corporal punishment.

It was no different from the axiom of human education.

The Awakened, who consulted the angel's advice, each showed off their awakened abilities to the Gate Hacks······.

“Clear!”

“Eeeeek!”

The gate hackers laughed and waved their arms and legs as if it was fun.

but······.

“End!”

This too was fleeting.

The moment they faced each other, the gate hacks attacked each other fiercely.

He clawed at his hands with his eyes wide open. There were even places where blood flowed out because he had torn off his ears with his teeth.

Their brutality also affected the disciplinary process.

“Hey, hey! Wait a minute! Aah!”

A single gate nuke was tearing the head off of Canada's Awoken, Liam Parker.

There were many awakened people who were trampled by the violence of the gate hack, such as being kicked and slapped······.

Due to the angel's advice not to hit or scare them, the Awakened were helplessly exposed to the atrocities of the Gate Hackers.

“They’re all devils······ These kids are devils······.”

The number of awakened people shedding tears of blood and giving up on themselves increased one by one.

and······.

“······.”

Surprisingly, the four of us were facing completely different problems.

“······What on earth could be the problem?”

Yunyang tilts his head.

He, holding the sword, tried changing places here and there······.

“Keuhuuuut!”

The gate hackers simply shot away with distorted expressions.

If you look at the fact that the same thing happened to me, Kim Sol, and Lee Yong-soo, it wasn't just Un-yang's problem.

In the end, while the other Awakened ones took possession of the Gate Core one by one and passed on their Awakening abilities, the three of us were just huddled together and feeling the breeze of the grassland.

“What do we do now?”

Kim Sol asked me.

The enormous benefits surrounding the awakening ability.

If things continue like this, we will have no choice but to hand over the core to other Awakened beings······.

“There’s no law that says you have to raise them here, right?”

I already had a gate hack.

After entering the Retel dimension, the gate core that was locked in a cage.

A naive guy who wasn't violent or particularly avoidant of us.

“My child has changed.”

I'm going to make that guy the core of the Earth.
