Hunters Mainland.
At the entrance of Fairy's Garden.
Little Mortal woke up, annoyed,
"Why did you wake me up?
I just reached the good part!"
The crystal vibrated,
The notebook, which was slapping his face, suddenly stopped, and then vibrated,
Little Mortal, who heard what this not-so-talkative notebook said, gasped,
"No way!
It's already the 10th day?
The day I should be back from the Vulture's secret mission!?"
And after the two vibrating and saying 'yes',
He got up and ran to somewhere deep inside the lava sea.
He then took out the 'Child Guardian Token', placed it on his head, and started doing some clumsy hand seals.
An hour passed like this, and nothing happened.
The crystal vibrated,
And the notebook vibrated and answered in his place,
The crystal was speechless.
It looks like this little monster's random hand seals have already fooled someone into thinking they're real...
But at this moment, a black line passed above their head outside of the Lava sea!
The only thing the crystal and notebook saw was something that fell from the sky when the black light passed by.
When the two birth treasures saw what the object was, they were stunned and heard Little Mortal shouting,
"Passive fate skill, activate!"
....
A while earlier.
In a secret place that looked like a treasure house, the Vulture was placing some chips that it found in Lord's hidden stash inside a special box.
Lord, after receiving the chips, always hides them, and the Vulture would take them away and replace them with a fake version.
It didn't know how,
But the top powers working for the Mainland Managers in each mainland, for whatever reason, would start trading these chips with the scientists from the 'Level 2 Civilization Mainland'.
It could guess the reason, though.
They wanted to open a portal to their side and invade their mainland to take over.
This way, the Lord of each evil mainland, which was bound by a contract, could find a chance to rebel.
And because those scientists from the other side weren't really living creatures, the Lord making a deal with 'dead' wasn't an act of betrayal in the eyes of World Law in their zone, and they could collaborate with them without worry.
But instead of replacing Lord, the Vulture used him as a tool to gather these chips, and if the Level 2 Civilization was suspicious, it could just eliminate the Lord.
But all these years, as if they were just programmed, they never stopped sending these chips,
Even if the number was far from the number needed to open a portal.
It was as though they only acted on a specific protocol.
After placing the chips in the box,
The Vulture was going to fly out of its treasury.
The 10 days were now over, and it wanted to see if the newborn called Mortal would return.
It was really hoped that he succeeded in his secret mission to save his 'kind'.
But before it could leave, it suddenly felt something, and its feathers stood on end!
It first sensed a familiar change in space, and sure enough, the next moment, a crack appeared in the space nearby.
After getting hit by the 'World Law Punishment Lightning' some time ago, the Vulture was on high alert all day long.
Even now, it wondered why it was targeted the other day.
So the moment this crack opened in the treasury, it was already on guard and tried to dodge the lightning.
But even so, to its disbelief, it was too late!
Not because it didn't dodge the lightning, but because something else came out first!
The Vulture only had enough time to see a blue object, and its neck broke the next moment while its head tilted backward.
The moment after that, the dumbfounded Vulture was hit by something else that it was familiar with, and was 'kidnapped' again.
On its way to the 'horizon',
While destroying everything in its path, a certain Guardian Token was sent flying with it.
The Vulture didn't even know what had happened or how its neck had broken.
In just a second, it recovered its broken neck and finally saw what the source of the blue light was.
It was actually a blue object made of spirit stone that emerged from the crack first and struck its forehead.
This thing was so fast that the Vulture didn't have time to react to it as it hit its forehead hard enough to break its neck!
And just that one moment of distraction was enough to let the lightning, which came after it, kidnap the Vulture again.
The Vulture scanned the spirit stone and couldn't even believe what kind of force compressed it to this extent!?
Or what kind of power made it move with such speed!?
But none of that mattered now.
Because the moment 'it' was carried away by the lightning to the horizon, and it passed by the lava sea,
The Vulture saw something else that almost gave it a heart attack!
....
Deep inside the lava sea.
Little Mortal 'activated' his fate skill when he saw the Vulture with the spirit stone in its head and the lightning, which was kidnapping it, passing by.
He was going to use the Child Token and bring the main Guardian Token over by changing their place, but something smashed into his face.
Little Mortal gasped,
"Mr. Token!"
[Greetings, Guardian Mortal.]
All three birth treasures were speechless.
Was this fate skill real or not?
He didn't even need to bring the token over!
It came here by the 'hands of fate'!
They were here to use the lava sea as a cover-up to change the Guardian Token's place with the Child Guardian Token.
The lava sea would cover the space fluctuation on their side, even though the place where the Guardian Token itself was would be exposed.
But the Guardian Token 'accidentally' dropped here by itself!
Little Mortal didn't waste time and said hurriedly,
"Mr. Token, connect to the mirror, bring the World Tree over!
Little Crystal, activate the feather in Undead Mainland!"
When his sentence was finished,
The whole scenery around them changed!
Now they were back inside the Fairy's Garden.
The birth treasures didn't even know what had happened or how they had gotten there!
He didn't use a space passage and just took two steps forward, and the next moment, they were back in the garden!
But a certain Vulture on the horizon, who saw the mainland suddenly rotate, and all of the bubbles in the sky almost separate from it again, had a weak heart attack!
And as if that wasn't enough, the Vulture saw at the same time, the Underworld Gate actually rise from the deepest part of the lava sea, too.
Lilith in the Underworld, who was watching over this specific hexagon for a while now, felt the changes in the lava sea instantly the moment the mainland rotated and opened the gate.
She didn't know what was happening,
But she knew it was her partner's doing because the lava sea's movement was similar to what she had seen the last time.
And the Vulture on the 'horizon' sensed many more things simultaneously happening!
Good and bad mixed together.
One was its second feather, which was used at this moment.
So Mortal was coming back to the mainland, and that was a good thing because it meant he was probably done with his mission.
The second thing was the opening of the Underworld Gate, which wasn't good.
And the third was a big passage that opened for less than 2 seconds and then closed in a certain place on the mainland.
But in those 2 seconds, a chunk of the mainland disappeared!
And all of that aside,
The mainland's direction was again in a mess due to its sudden rotation.
The first time this happened, the Vulture asked the mainland to hold onto the Level 6 soldiers more tightly this time.
It wanted to ensure that if the same thing happened, the bubbles would remain connected to the mainland.
But because of this stronger connection,
All of the Level 6 soldiers were almost bisected by the rotation force just now!
The Vulture was enraged!
Who could be the one behind all of this if not the Queen of Hell, Lilith?
She was the only one with such power!
The previous time, the black lightning, the rotation, and the gate opening all happened after the Underworld Gate opened once.
Now the same thing was happening!
The Vulture was so angry that it attacked without thinking further!
A phantom of a vulture came out of its body and dived down towards the gate!
"Lilith!
Do you think you can do anything you want with my mainland?"
*Tremble*
The whole mainland shook!
On the other side of the gate,
Lilith raised her hand, and a wall of fire appeared.
The Vulture's phantom broke the wall with ease while devouring the fire law and becoming stronger!
Lilith raised an eyebrow while wondering,
'What did my partner do that made it so angry?
That's a full-power attack!
Doesn't it know with such an attack,
It gives me the 'reason' even to enter the other side?'
While suspecting that whatever happened on the other side was probably her fault in the Vulture's eyes, she moved her citadel into the path of the Vulture's attack and blocked it.
That was an attack from a Level 10 creature.
It could start a disaster here in her realm if not stopped because of its law of devour.
Any creatures under Level 10 could lose their laws or even abilities in contact with this law.
....
Just a moment ago, before a chunk of the mainland disappeared and the angry Vulture attacked the Underworld Gate.
Little Mortal arrived at the garden with two steps.
Then he jumped, spun around himself once, and then... Well, the birth treasures didn't see what happened next.
They only saw all the webs connecting to the big spider above get cut with a ring-shaped, wind-blade kind of strike that generated from Little Mortal's spin!
It was as if when he spun, that sharp ring attack was made.
And just a second after that, the giant spider above their head became riddled with holes and exploded!
Under the rain of green blood, cracks in the space around the place where the former spider was could be seen now.
Each crack was like a small footprint,
As though someone stomped their foot so hard and so fast that it broke the space itself while leaving its trace behind.
From the way a certain Guardian always fought,
The birth treasures could imagine what just happened.
He actually kicked the air and moved like a bolt from one point to another, and every time that poor spider was probably in his way of travel between the two points,
So naturally, it was riddled with holes.
The voice of Little Mortal sounded,
"Little Mirror, World Tree, pack up everything and leave!"
Little Mortal appeared out of nowhere, covered in green blood, and brought the dumbfounded group of birth treasures back to reality with his voice!
Seeing him all green, they were sure that their guess was accurate.
With the Guardian Territory's full support, the World Tree and space mirror connected to the Guardian token took action!
The garden, everything around it, and even the castle of that spider, was taken away in the blink of an eye.
Little Mortal nodded and rushed back to the lava sea.
When he reached near the shore, he said,
"Mr. Token, connect to Little Puppet; it needs to leave a message in this Guard Child Token."
And then he cleaned the black liquid from the Child Token, left a certain message inside with Puppet Master's voice, and placed it somewhere close to the shore of the lava sea.
After he was done, he nodded,
"Alright, let's go cover up our other tracks."
And he disappeared.
....
Underworld Gate.
Lilith looked at the other side, and after a brief pause, smiled and entered it.
The Hunters mainland suddenly started steaming with her arrival!
The snowy sky affected by the undead mainland changed to a rainy sky.
The sky changed color to red.
The lava sea started boiling.
The Vulture on the horizon was dumbfounded.
"How could she enter?
Wasn't she the one who did all of this?"
And as if the vulture's situation wasn't complicated enough,
"Krevaris!
I want to see that newborn called mortal!"
A woman's scream that only it, Lilith, and Little Mortal heard, came from the undead mainland!
And then,
*BOOM*
The defensive atmosphere of the snowy mainland actually collided with the hunters' mainland!
Seeing the scene,
Lilith was now sure that her partner was here, making trouble.
But she didn't do anything and just watched.
She didn't want to ruin anyone's plan by acting rashly.
If that little partner of hers needed help, he could tell her easily with his invisibility.
She already announced her arrival.
Far away in outer space,
The vulture, who saw the sudden changes one after another, was at a loss.
"What is happening?"
Seeing everything was going out of control,
With all its might, it finally got rid of the lightning and moved towards Morthyxis's castle, which was coming towards their mainland.
Behind the castle, thousands of skeleton soldiers and commanders, following the skeleton phoenix, were already on their way to attack the Hunters mainland!
The Vulture didn't even know what that crazy Mortal did that made this cool-headed Undead Queen go crazy!
So it could only face her while sending an order to Lord.
And Lord, who was already on the move to see what's going on, took action to face the undead army.
A war broke out in no time, with the hunters joining the battle.
The only problem was the level 6 soldiers, which almost split in two because they had been grabbed onto too tightly by the mainland just a while ago.
They were in poor condition at best.
Seeing the full-fledged war, Lilith didn't even know what to think anymore.
But she suddenly felt something and looked at her hand.
She saw a piece of paper in her hand with a message.
[Thanks for your help, partner.
Leave the rest to me.
You can watch if you want, but don't interfere,
You can just stand here while looking 'hot'. lol ]
Lilith chuckled, and the paper burned to ashes.
It was unknown if she chuckled out of anger or from the Vulture's misfortune.
....
Far away from the Lava sea.
At the tavern, Lady Tyrant hurriedly walked out and, after closing the door, was going to leave and join the battle.
But she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her saying,
"Where are you going in such a hurry, little girl?"
Lady Tyrant almost screamed when she heard the voice.
After taking a deep breath,
With a forced smile, she turned around and said,
"Oh, senior mortal.
How have you been?"
And took a glance at the sky.
Sure enough, the skeleton army and their army were in a bloody fight, and she wasn't imagining things.
So, what was this little senior asking?
Isn't it obvious why she is in a hurry?
"Senior mortal, as you can see, there is a war going on, so I need to go and join like the rest."
Senior mortal looked at the sky and laughed mockingly,
"You call that war?
Laughable.
It's more like a bunch of kids arguing with each other."
Lady Tyrant bit her lips,
"Senior mortal, why don't you make a move and end it then?
You are the only 'adult' around here, right?"
Senior mortal looked at her and snorted,
"I already did, little girl.
Are you underestimating me?"
Lady Tyrant was shocked,
"You already did?
Where? When?"
But Senior Mortal didn't tell her,
"If you want to hear my story, then..."
Lady Tyrant, who knew the price for his story, gritted her teeth and took out her special liquid.
...
High up in the sky,
Lord was in a fight with the skeleton phoenix.
But the fight wasn't that serious.
Only level 6s and 7s would fight with everything they had.
Outside the atmosphere, the two level 10s were in a battle that none of the creatures down below could see or feel.
That wasn't a serious battle either.
And close to the ground, the Hunters were in a desperate situation.
At this moment, a familiar voice shouted,
"Everyone, just resist a little longer!
Senior Mortal has already made his move!"
Hearing the name,
The level 6 and 7 creatures shouted excitedly, happy to know the final big shot is here!
Lord was shocked by their reaction!
And the vulture found a glimpse of hope after hearing the name 'Senior Mortal'.
That annoying kid was back!
So it immediately tried to find him by tracking the ring around his neck.
It knew he was back, but didn't know about the result of his mission.
It didn't take long for the vulture to find him.
He was currently sitting on a chair, drinking something, and pointing here and there.
And the vulture wasn't the only one who saw him.
Lord and the rest saw him too.
When Lord heard what 'Senior Mortal' was saying,
He almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
He was actually ordering the soldiers and commanders like they were his army,
And they were obeying him, as if he were the real Lord!
The vulture made an avatar and sent it to him in a hurry.
Not long after, Little Mortal was already taken away.
...
"You!
Take 10 soldiers with you and support the right!
You, you, and you,
Go 2km towards 35 degrees north and - eh!?
Where am I?
Where are my soldiers?"
Little mortal, who was in the middle of ordering his troops, was 'shocked'.
When he came back to his 'senses', he saw the same weak vulture from before,
"Oh, what's up, ugly vulture.
You still alive?"
The vulture ignored what he said and asked,
"Did you finish the mission?"
Little Mortal, who still had his drink in his hand, took a sip and said arrogantly,
"You stupid vulture.
Didn't you listen when I said I never fail?"
And shook his head in disappointment.
The vulture gritted its beak,
"Be ready, I might need you for another mission!"
But Little Mortal shook his head,
"No other mission until I see the hostages are free."
But the vulture didn't care what he said and left with him.
Not long after, Little Mortal and the avatar arrived at the vulture's secret treasure house, which now had a hole in it.
The vulture wanted to come alone, but it couldn't risk losing the kid.
It went straight to an iron box, opened it, and removed two objects.
One of them was like a flash drive, which it gave to Little Mortal.
"Take this for now."
And the other one was something inside a glass cover, with a red button on it.
It broke the glass, and after a pause, as though asking permission from its main body, it pushed the small red button.
Or at least, that was what it wanted to do, because a certain newborn already pushed the button,
"Ugly vulture, what does this button do?
I pressed it a couple of times, but nothing happened."
The vulture's avatar almost exploded from anger when it saw the scene!
Its eyes turned red, and its head felt dizzy.
It waited for how many years to push this button?
It gathered all that information and chips in the dark for millions of years,
so it can push the button one day and then laugh at those dead scientists from that level 2 civilization going to the wrong place!
But now,
Someone else actually pushed the button?
White smoke started rising from the vulture's head, and then, it exploded!
Literally!
If it were the main body, it could handle it, but the avatar?
Nope.
This time, the whole treasury was blown up.
All kinds of stuff were flying in different directions,
Many of them were birth treasures.
Little mortal was now standing at the center of the explosion, looking around in shock.
"What in the world just happened?
Was that button an explosion button for the ugly vulture?"
Then he looked around and said,
"Well, gather this stuff.
We already know who the owners are."
And the guardian token, which was connected to the backpack, sucked everything in.
Anything that reached a 2-meter distance from Little Mortal would lose any 'law mark' left on them by the vulture.
The vulture naturally marked everything here to find them easily if anything happened, like now,
But entering a certain distance from Little Mortal was enough to erase them.
After the avatar explosion,
The vulture's main body outside the atmosphere was dumbfounded.
It felt as though its treasury had just exploded, and then everything inside started disappearing.
"Was that explosion from my avatar losing control that strong to destroy everything?
Well, seems it was."
But to be sure, it made another avatar and sent it down to investigate.
That flash drive, whose avatar gave Mortal, was supposed to help it prepare for what was coming!
It needed to find it immediately!
...
At the same time,
On the undead mainland,
The chips Little Mortal placed on the ground suddenly started shining, then connecting, and then the formation that Little Mortal made with them was activated.
It didn't take long before a big wormhole opened above the undead mainland.
Advanced spaceships start entering the next moment after the opening.
Morthyxis, who saw the wormhole, furrowed, and as if sending an order, 80% of the skeleton army retreated to their mainland immediately.
Her mainland's safety was far more important, and the Hunters were in bad shape; 20% of her army could deal with them.
The moment the two sides get close,
Laser beams start shooting from the spaceships,
Turning one group of skeletons after another into broken bones.
But just a moment later, the bones reassembled, and their bodies returned to normal.
A two-way fight started for the undead.
One side with hunters, one side with spaceships.
The vulture smiled,
"It's time to leave my competitors behind!"
And sent a message to Lord.
[ Keep them busy with our commanders,
And tell the soldiers to get back on the 'road'! Full speed!
I will take you and the commanders back to the mainland personally after we are done here. ]
And Lord replied,
[ Yes. ]
But the next moment, before they could make a move, both of them saw something that they couldn't comprehend at all.
Every single soldier and commander was rushing towards Lord now, their faces full of fear!
Lord didn't know what was happening,
But the vulture, who could guess it,
Looked at Lilith hatefully.
Lilith, who was speechless inside, tried her best to keep the mysterious smile on her lips.
She knew it was the effect of that technique, Judgment by Fear, that a certain partner of hers probably used somewhere on the battlefield.
But the reason for him to use it was unknown.
The Vulture, who saw the group of soldiers running and flying to Lord as if they were infected by something, and even forcing others to follow them, tried to find the source of this anomaly.
But it noticed something even more weird.
Even the undead soldiers were running away now,
But in a different direction.
They were flying towards the skeletal phoenix!
Both Morthyxis and the vulture searched for the origin of whatever had triggered this unknown reaction between their troops.
And after searching the recent memories of their soldiers, they both realized that one person was the cause of all this.
A man with a beard and an eyepatch, who was looking at them with a mocking smile!
The only person who didn't run and stood where he was confidently.
The only person who wasn't even from either of the two Mainlands!
The Pirate God, who at this moment didn't know what he was looking at in the sky, and he probably never knew either,
Because suddenly, he felt cold, and then his vision turned dark before his body froze, and he was devoured by something.
Not long before his death, he remembered to be scared of something, and had the thought of running to the strongest person around.
But instead of that, he stood rooted on the spot,
Puffed his chest, raised his chin, and smiled arrogantly at the sky.
And then, he 'died', losing all of his law after freezing.
But instead of being disappointed, Pirate God felt relieved.
He was finally saved from slavery after being abducted by this mainland, where higher beings were plentiful.
He didn't even have the free will to kill himself while stuck in this place.
But he could finally go back to his universe and resurrect.
....
It took a while for the effect of 'fear' that Little Mortal used on Pirate God to reach the two Lords and stop spreading.
But that was enough time for another 'guest' to arrive.
The third Mainland, known as the Level 2 Civilization.
The same mainland with the tall pillars that were shooting lasers, and spaceships circling it in its atmosphere.
The same 'planet' that the crystal took a picture of when the space mirror opened a passage to it, and a laser beam attacked them.
Now you could see what the sun-like spheres being dragged by the mainland were.
They were actually real suns, but with a ring kind of thing around them, which seems to be responsible for absorbing the sun's energy and transferring it to the mainland.
The fuel and source of energy of this mainland was actually these suns.
The vulture, who felt the situation couldn't be salvaged anymore, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope again!
Its avatar actually found the newborn called mortal!
He was still alive, looking around in confusion, with messy hair and smoke rising from him.
It seemed he had somehow survived the avatar's explosion, but he wasn't completely back to his senses.
The vulture knew it was a good opportunity to turn the tide.
The new avatar arrived beside him, activated something on the ring around his neck,
And said,
"Mortal, it's time for you to shine!"
Little Mortal asked in confusion,
"To shine?"
The vulture nodded,
"Everyone is counting on you!
I want you to turn invisible and go to another secret mission!
Everyone's life depends on your success!"
Little Mortal asked in confusion again,
"Everyone's life?"
The vulture then saw that even the flash drive was still in his hand and smiled,
"Yes!
Take the flash drive with you, and just connect it to any device when you arrive there!"
Little Mortal looked at the flash drive in his hand in puzzlement and asked,
"Arrive where?"
The vulture smiled, picked him up, and, while throwing him with all its might towards the Level 2 Civilization mainland, said,
"There!
You, embodiment of bad luck!"
The vulture believed it was from the day this kid set foot on its mainland that everything turned to a mess.
Not only for it, but even for the Undead Mainland.
So why not share the bad luck with the new 'guest' too?
Only Lilith and Morthyxis saw a certain little boy being thrown away into the sky by the vulture, who called him the 'embodiment of bad luck'.
The two could only watch as the little boy flew to the horizon and then completely disappeared...
On the battlefield, the soldiers, who were oblivious of everything and thought that with another mainland's arrival, they were done for, heard the familiar voice of Senior Mortal coming from the sky,
"Everyone!
I will go stop the newcomers, you can leave while there is time!"
The voice came and went in a moment.
Everyone who thought the desperate situation couldn't be salvaged felt a bit of hope in that childish voice!
The soldiers roared with all their might and pushed back the undead army.
The commanders replaced them on the front line,
And the soldiers all left to drag the mainland away.
The undead army couldn't stop them anymore because they needed to deal with the invasion on their side, too.
The only thing in the way of the Hunters was now the Level 2 Civilization mainland, which was circling them to stop them.
Seeing everything finally back on track,
The vulture sighed and said,
"Boom."
And the next moment, somewhere on the Level 2 Civilization mainland, a massive explosion took place!
Everything started being devoured by the explosion.
The explosion waves evaporated everything to ashes as they spread in every direction.
A massive mushroom cloud that was getting bigger and bigger appeared.
At least 3% of the surface ground on the Level 2 Civilization mainland was flattened and evaporated in a moment!
The creatures on the Hunters mainland looked at the scene with their jaws dropped !
The explosion was so strong that it pushed the mainland away from their path.
They didn't even need to think about what would happen if Senior Mortal attacked again with such power!
Wouldn't he be able to clean the whole Level 2 civilization mainland with 30 or so more attacks like this?
While wondering if it was really him or not,
On the pillar of contribution,
Mortal's name moved from last place to first place!
However, because the pillar was upside-down, it was as if he had gone back to the last place.
But his act of 'saving' the mainland, not once, but twice, due to his making a move on the undead's side by opening the wormhole, and then blowing up the Level 2 Civilization mainland, brought him to rank first!
The crowd received the final confirmation!
Not only was it he who caused the explosion, but even the wormhole in the undead's mainland was his doing!
No wonder Lady Tyrant said Senior Mortal had already made his move!
He could just casually open wormholes and blow up mainlands?
How powerful was he?
Who else could take his place in the ranking?
Who else could save the mainland twice in a row in one day?
Who else was even worthy of being ranked 1?
With tears in their eyes, to not waste the opportunity provided by Senior Mortal, they fled away from the battlefield... Full speed.
Now, only the undead and the Level 2 Civilization's Mainlands were left...
A laughter sounded, and the vulture left too while taking away the commanders and Lord with itself.
Morthyxis could only grit her teeth and go deal with a giant metallic brain that just came out of the wormhole.
Lilith, who saw the ending, while puzzled, left.
She didn't know what all this mess was for, and what her partner was trying to achieve.
'He actually helped the vulture to separate themselves from the undead Queen?
And after that explosion, is he even alive now... ?'
She saw him for a moment when that vulture threw him away,
And she saw the ring around his neck.
That, and the flash drive, were both from a famous mainland.
A mainland called 'Level 3 Civilization'.
They were extremely secretive and advanced in technology and science, and these were their products.
Some of her old friends were also there, and Lilith needed her partner to go there and do something for her.
The reason the ring's explosion was so effective, even for Level 10 creatures like them, was that the knowledge behind it originated from that Level 3 Civilization.
While going back inside the underworld gate,
Lilith glanced at the hunter's ranking pillar,
And nodded to herself when she saw the familiar name still shining before the gate closed.
How could that little 'con-artist' die just like that...?
...
"That stupid vulture actually called me the embodiment of bad luck!
Can you believe it?
And it even detonated the ring!
Man, I was so scared that I thought all of us were going to die!"
The birth treasures, without even a single scratch,
<-_->
They were scared out of their wits when the ring exploded, but nothing happened to them.
"By the way, what was the point of that space pirate?
I don't understand.
Wasn't my Fate skill triggered the first time because of him?
I thought he was some 'key' element in my mission.
But I could only give him an opportunity to die cool."
Little Mortal was looking around now, in this barren ground, which was like a big pit with him at its center, while wondering.
The crystal vibrated,
< If those undead weren't there the first time you came here, then your fate skill might be related to them.>
Neither of them knew that the black lightning actually 'cooked' the communication device of the lord and the vulture, and they lost complete access to their 'insiders'.
Little Mortal nodded,
"Maybe...
Well, at least we farmed some law for big sister using that guy."
< We farmed so much law that my master might be able to advance again. >
Little mortal rubbed his chin and said,
"Let's take a look at this place first, then we can go and see how things are back at home.
We should figure out how to host a level 8 advancement on our planet in my free time."
And then he walked towards a random direction while taking out his notebook.

It took a day for Little Mortal to walk out of the empty area, which had been restored to a rocky landscape.
However, all the pillars and facilities on the surface were completely destroyed due to the explosion.
When he arrived at the place that wasn't affected by the explosion, he saw many construction vehicles already starting to rebuild what had been destroyed.
But everything was automatic, and not a single living creature was in sight.
As he went from one place to another,
He saw that everything on this mainland seemed to be connected in some way.
Everything here seems to be part of a huge 'net'.
While exploring around with his birthday gifts,
He finally reached a different-looking building.
Even though there was a war ongoing outside,
The battlefield was focused on the undead's side and around the wormhole, so this side wasn't affected much, except by the explosion that his ring caused.
After entering the building, he finally saw something that wasn't completely a device only designed for a specific job, like everything they had seen until now.
What he saw was an iron brain flying around.
Curious, Little Mortal followed the iron brain to different places in the building.
After visiting various rooms and small facilities alongside the brain, he finally understood what was going on on this mainland.
This iron brain was actually containing the consciousness of a scientist.
And this consciousness wasn't the only one.
From what he saw, there was one of these brains in each building, and they were all connected to each other all the time.
And surprisingly, they weren't originally higher beings, but former living creatures of a universe.
But because the mainland would only allow higher beings to enter it, these scientists, after 'taking care' of their universe's higher being somehow,
Entered the mainland in this form because they couldn't enter with their real bodies, which could advance to level 5 at most.
How they got rid of their higher beings, or how they conquered this mainland, was another story that Little Mortal didn't know about.
However, it was obvious that they had abandoned everything to live in this form forever.
And from the looks of it, because they didn't have any 'soul', and this so-called consciousness was nothing but a copy of the information from their former brain, they were now thinking like emotionless machines.
Like a computer running independently and developing the mainland based on a specific program.
No feeling involved, just a programmed machine.
After figuring out this place was even more 'dead' than the 'undead' mainland, Little Mortal shook his head in disappointment.
He decided to go and find the lava sea, so they could open a safe space passage there and leave.
But suddenly something flew in.
It was a chip that seemed to be here to give some private information to this iron brain.
The moment Little Mortal saw it, he paused.
The corner of his eyes started twitching, his fist clenched, and he gritted his teeth.
The birth treasures who saw this little unstable monster suddenly flaring up, wondered what had happened!
But thinking about his history of being vengeful, they guessed it in a moment.
This flying chip was slightly different from the ones Vulture had given him.
But!
It was exactly like the ones they encountered on planet Lubo!
The chips, which had tried to send some information back about him to this mainland.
And having 'multiple personality disorder' was just one of the lines in their report about a certain anomaly called Mortal.
Seeing it here, Little Mortal probably saw the 'creator' of it,
And now he was losing control again due to his remembering the 'past insult'.
And sure enough,
Little mortal took out the flash drive that Vulture gave him and put it in a random USB port while smiling like a little devil.
An alarm suddenly sounded,
[ Security breach detected!
All - ]
But the sound and alarm stopped a second later.
Everything suddenly turned off.
The chip and the flying iron brain dropped to the ground.
The spaceships in outer space and in the undead mainland stopped moving.
The wormhole connected to the undead mainland closed.
It was as if a 'turn-off button' had been pressed for the entire Level 2 civilization mainland.
And a timer appeared on the flash drive.
10 - 9 - ...
Seeing everything go off, Little Mortal, still angry, chuckled,
"Open a passage to our side, I'll be back in a second."
And his figure disappeared.
When the timer showed the number 8 on the flash drive,
A hole that leads to somewhere outside the building appeared on the wall in front of the speechless birth treasures.
When the timer reached the number 7, the sky changed.
The suns and spaceships seem to be moving at high speed now for some reason.
As if the whole world suddenly started rotating for no reason.
When the timer reached the number 7, any structure on the mainland with a height higher than 20 meters(65.6 feet) couldn't resist the anchor applied to it due to the mainland's sudden rotation and started collapsing.
At the same time, the suns around the mainland lost their connections to it and were thrown in different directions.
When the number on the flash drive was 5,
A sentence made of fire was written on the surface of the mainland.
[ Revenge is a dish best served cold. ]
When the timer reached 4, an iron brain as large as a building appeared above the building where Little Mortal had used the flash drive.
When 3 seconds were left, a small hand took away the flash drive and jumped inside the passage, which was ready for the group to run.
And a second later, everything turned on, and laser beams attacked the building from all directions.
....
Planet Lubo.
Little Mortal jumped out of the passage while laughing.
Then he turned around and stretched out his hand to cover the passage, which the space mirror was trying to close as fast as it could.
When the passage was completely closed, white smoke was emitted from Little Mortal's palm that blocked the laser beams.
"Phew... That was a close call, huh?"
The birth treasures were speechless.
The crystal vibrated,
Little mortal snorted,
"What do you mean?
I was gathering information!"
And showed the flash drive to them.
The glasses of knowledge appeared out of nowhere and connected to the flash without a word.
And after a moment, it began to vibrate.
Little mortal first gasped, but then coughed,
"See?
What did I tell you ?!"
Only then did they discover what this flash drive was capable of.
It actually hacked the system, turned it off, and began stealing information.
Rose, while surprised, arrived too.
She was at the new 'garden' that was suddenly added to the old one, because the fairies called for her to help them with something.
So she came here to see if she could find 'help', but instead saw her boss was back.
"Boss!
You are back so soon?
Did everything go smoothly?"
Little Mortal, who saw her coming, nodded at first,
But paused in the middle, placed his hand on his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell back to the ground in a dramatic way.
And then, with a trembling voice and difficulty said,
"Mission accomplished..."
And he died...
- The End.
