The Prince Wants To Retire - Chapter 200 - END

Abduction 9. Peace like a dream

An existence that made even Kariel, who came to see God, stare blankly.

A huge tree that supported the mythical age of old was created.

The huge tree that grew on the site of Asgard, which was created by the remnants of the past, had a mighty power that made you feel the force of nature just by looking at it.

[You have confirmed the reward for the bet.]

[Reward: Resurrection of the World Tree]

– The old world tree (Yggdrasil) planted by Lord Baldr has been resurrected due to divine power.

As the world tree grows, the worlds of the old mythical age will be reconnected around the world tree.

“You grow more here?”

Kariel, muttering blankly, looked at the world tree.

And I was sure.

If humanity can only protect this tree, the world’s development will accelerate further.

And as many worlds are connected like the Age of Mythology, I felt that it would become a powerful dimension that could not be crossed.

“… … let’s go.”

Now that the verification was over, it was time to discuss countermeasures.

From now on, all of Ignit’s powers will be centered around the World Tree.

It was time to return to the imperial palace for that purpose.

[The words the old god left to the agent are on the World Tree. Would you like to confirm?]

Cariel, who stopped walking when he heard that Baldr had left a message for him, stared blankly at the world tree.

“… … your majesty?”

“I’m going to go over there for a while.”

“Your Majesty, this is an area where safety has not yet been secured.”

At Duke David’s words of concern for himself, Kariel flew into the air saying it was okay.

As I approached the huge tree that even the giant’s mountain range seemed small, I saw familiar beings.

“Is everyone here?”

Seeing his summoned beings in front of the World Tree, Kariel looked at him like he was crazy.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I felt sad when the summoned creatures I thought would welcome me were in front of the World Tree.

Seeing Kariel’s expression, Surt opened his mouth as if not to misunderstand.

– Don’t get me wrong. Because we came as representatives of each world.

“representative?”

Surt nodded at Kariel’s question.

The representative of the world of giants, Surt.

The world representative of Shinsoo, Squall.

Representative of the 2nd Spirit World and the Phantom Realm, Agni.

Hell’s agent, Gareum.

Seeing this situation in which all of Kariel’s summoned bodies had become representatives of each world, Kariel made an absurd expression.

But these were medicines.

Thousands of beings gathered around the World Tree each came as representatives of a world.

Each race has chosen one of the many fragments of a world that has collapsed since Ragnarok.

The beings who lived in hiding in each region of the continent left this place that became the world of humans and created their own world.

Of course, they were all just fragments of the world, so the size was very small.

But for the tribes that lived in hiding, that alone was a happy thing.

Even though it’s only been two months since the world tree appeared, the world is undergoing a transformation.

But even more surprising was what happened next.

“Are they here too?”

Including Quetzalcoatl, all the main axes that made a contract with Baldr in the world to create a barrier appeared.

Huge creatures floating in the sky with the power of the World Tree.

But these weren’t all.

This is because soon after, someone more amazing than these appeared.

-I’m the last one.

A representative of the Demon Realm invited by the World Tree.

“He’s not dead.”

The demon king smiled at Kariel’s words and looked down at his own body.

The mighty power was gone, and here and there, wounded bodies took its place.

The demon king, who was mortally wounded and was barely saved by the loyalist demons while wandering between death and death, purged the opposing faction by moving his body on behalf of the weakened loyalist.

Since he had to forcefully move with his wounded body, the price was inevitably devastating.

The power that reached the level of a god has weakened to the point where it is difficult to compare it with the past.

Then, the experience he had did not disappear.

Thanks to his quick recovery of strength, he was able to rise again as the absolute leader of the Demon Realm.

– The gap has widened.

The Demon King smiled bitterly as he looked at Kariel whom he had not seen in a long time.

While he was recovering his former state, Kariel grew even more.

Now, the power of Kariel who has come close to his prime.

If Kariel continues to grow like this, the Demon King will never be able to catch up with Kariel.

And the Demon King, who is famous for his good sense, intuited that his thoughts were not wrong.

– Be strong… … .

When he was weak, he aimed at high-ranking demons and eventually stepped on them and climbed up.

So, one day, he promised to fill this gap and become the strongest again, and when he spouted out his jealousy, Kariel looked at the Demon King with a cold expression.

Just then, the mighty power of the World Tree crushed the power of the Demon King.

“This… … .”

Seeing her own power reacting naturally to the power of the World Tree, Kariel was taken aback.

Suddenly, light radiated from his forehead, and flames began to rise. The green light of the World Tree flew towards Kariel in a strange phenomenon in which the branches of the World Tree did not burn at all even though they touched the branches as they soared into the sky.

[The World Tree has recognized you as the manager of the world.

[I would like to express my gratitude to you for giving me birth.]

The moment the voice ended, the pattern began to change as it focused on the green forehead that had permeated into the body.

As the pattern of the world tree overlapped with the pattern created by Baldr, it was transformed into a colorful pattern that emits a strange light.

It was a time of surprise for those who witnessed the blessing of the world tree, which was said to have been received by very few in the age of mythology.

Just when the World Tree directly acknowledged that Kariel was the center of the world, a part of a huge tree opened up and brought Kariel into it.

The world tree that only Kariel entered.

-Nice to meet you.

“Is it a world tree?”

Cariel looked up at the voice that seemed to tickle her ear and asked.

Then, without a word, the world tree fluttered in green.

“… … Why did you call me here?”

– This is to convey the words of the god of light and greetings to say thank you.

The moment he said that, a little fairy appeared with a green light.

The World Tree, who appeared as a little fairy, approached Kariel and bowed his head slightly.

-Thank you for waking me up.

“I just won the bet Baldr left.”

– Still, the fact that it is my lifesaver has not changed.

The seed of the World Tree that gradually lost its power after Baldr disappeared.

The reason that such a world tree was able to be resurrected was because of the divine power sent by the earth god.

Although it was not intentional, it was clear that Kariel was the benefactor of the World Tree.

That’s why the World Tree tries to repay the favor somehow by wandering around Kariel.

Kariel said awkwardly, feeling burdened by her.

“Rather than that, tell me what Baldr left behind.”

At Kariel’s words, the green fairy approached Kariel with a regretful expression and placed a small hand on her forehead.

– By the time you hear this, it must mean that I have disappeared. Does that mean my plan worked?

Baldr appeared translucently in the form of a small boy.

-The fact that this word was passed on means that the earth god was once again defeated, right? ha ha ha! Are you the one I chose?

Baldur, who had been smiling for a while and pretending to be proud, looked at Kariel and said,

-By now, all the side effects of my disappearance must have appeared in the world. And if you’re listening to what I’ve left, it must mean that you’ve rejected all the arrangements I’ve made.

Kariel’s expression hardened at Baldr’s words.

-I want to give you a little help, but I’m retired now, so I can’t give you much.

While saying that, Baldr put on a bitter expression.

A divine power that has run out after protecting the world alone for a long time.

-Still, I leave this in the sense that it helps a little bit. please… … I hope you will protect the world I loved until the end.

The moment he finished speaking, Baldr’s translucent appearance completely disappeared and a bluish light began to seep into Kariel’s forehead.

At that moment, Kariel’s eyes began to open wide.

“this… … Was it strength?”

Baldr, the god of light and the god of light.

Also, as the source of his power, which was also called the god of beginnings, permeated Kariel, the power of fire inside him began to change.

The destination of light and a new beginning began to be decided by the power of Kariel, who had pioneered the road but had no direction on where to go.

However, Baldr’s power did not lead to Kariel’s power.

“Am I making the choice?”

Baldr’s will, as if he had to decide for himself which path he should choose, showed for a moment that there was only such a purpose and disappeared into the flames.

It was Baldr’s consideration that he would set Kariel’s path and set no limits.

“I’ll protect you.”

A god who loved the world by supporting everything.

Respecting his will, Kariel also vowed to protect this world.

At that moment, the green light that symbolizes the World Tree spread out in all directions, trying to announce the birth of a new guardian of the world.

However, such a world tree was blocked by Kariel.

“I’m not going to be the Lord.”

– Is that so?

A world tree with a sad expression on his face.

“A world where anyone can challenge God. That is the world I dream of.”

– There will be war.

If the majority one day rises to the ranks of the gods, they may greedy for the position of the gods.

“You have to endure it. But don’t they want to protect this world too?”

In response to Kariel’s question, he looked at the numerous beings around the World Tree.

“There is no point fighting inside. Our goal is to create a dimension that no one can cross.”

To create a powerful world that would not even dare to invade this place.

At Kariel’s goal, the World Tree smiled brightly and nodded. I thought to myself at the same time.

A spark of revolution and a leader of world reform

2nd god of light

If Baldr signaled a new beginning, Kariel is a reformer who changes the existing world and leads to a higher level.

The god of light who illuminates the light in front of everyone.

But since he refused to be the Lord, now was the time to think inwardly.

-I hope that one day I can be called the God of Light… … .

The World Tree quietly recited to Kariel, who had already left the body of the World Tree.

After all the arrangements that Baldr left behind, finally, the worlds that were officially broken by the power of the World Tree began to connect.

* * *

After the resurrection of the World Tree, the world began to go through another turbulent period.

As the half-broken spirit world was fully connected again, numerous spirit warriors were born, and the world became more and more solid as it interacted with the many worlds woven around the world tree.

Even in the Demon Realm, Kariel and the Demon King officially reconciled, and exchanges began, so everything was said.

In the center of the world that had become so solid, the invasion of other dimensions began to get stronger.

-Come under the luggage. Then give you infinite glory… … .

“You’ve been making dog noises since morning.”

With an annoyed expression on her face, Kariel completely cut off the life of the half-dead dragon.

By killing the messenger sent from the world of dragons, Kariel increased the number of enemies again.

Over the past few years, countless levels of apostles have tried to seduce Kariel. Like the god of the earth, there was a god who opened the gray gate and offered all kinds of temptations.

But Kariel turned down all the offers.

Then they became enemies, and they invaded the world more fiercely.

Nevertheless, Kariel kept the World Tree, and he saved the world.

As a result, he was able to achieve some of his goals.

[Information that a majority has been set as a neutral zone in the dimension meeting.]

A message sent to all those who approached the ranks of God, including Kariel.

What he had so longed for and so longed for by the World Tree and the beings of the world had finally come true.

“Finally… … It has been done.”

Kariel, who had overcome countless temptations and smiled at the pricey results achieved, ran to announce this fact.

His announcement was applauded by all humans in the world.

“Your Majesty, then, from now on, you will be able to directly approve important matters of the Empire.”

At the words of Luffiel, who had a haggard face, Kariel put on a bitter expression on his face.

“no… … My mourning is not yet grown, and my care… … .”

“I have already given permission to Empress Mama.”

“What? No, without speaking to me… … .”

Kariel, who was getting angry, stopped talking while looking at Luffiel’s scorching eyes.

“your majesty! Shouldn’t I be dating and getting married too?”

“that… … right.”

Kariel, who couldn’t bear to say no, sighed and nodded, and Rufiel withdrew with a big smile, as if asking when he was angry.

Seeing that, Kariel muttered quietly.

“I’m leaving at this point… … .”

Kariel, who was dragged into the pile of work hell again, thought she was finally comfortable now, and looked for others to leave the work to.

“Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief Seriel has already resigned and disappeared.”

“Prime Minister Luther gave his resignation and went on vacation.”

“Princes Glenn, Prince Sicario, and Prince David left saying they were taking care of the purple gate.”

“It is said that the former princess is going to the East Continent to study.”

The younger siblings and the members of the Round Table leave as if they were waiting for him to come back.

And finally, the words of the chief chamberlain who puts the wedge.

“The Empress told me to focus only on work, as you don’t have to look for yourself for a while.”

When even the empress betrayed her, she trembled for a while, and in the end, Kariel had no choice but to accept her fate as she looked at the pile of papers on her desk.

“I ended up back in paper hell.”

While muttering that, Kariel contemplated how to get out of the situation.

He was a hero who protected the world and rose to the ranks of gods, but he wondered why this pile of papers did not disappear and was in front of him.

“after… … yes, brothers Let’s start the second round.”

The younger brothers who jumped out to take on a mountain of work for themselves.

This time, Miriale had no intention of looking at it either.

Promising to give more work to those who betrayed him, Kariel wrote a plan in his spare time while working.

「Retirement Plan 2」

Make your second retirement plan.

The notebook, which had become thicker, Kariel put it in his secret drawer.

“Oh, I have to do this too. Tsk! Things keep getting delayed.”

A book fell from opening the drawer.

“The Secret of Baldr, God of Light”

Kariel smiled while looking at the book that described the secrets she knew about a god who loved the world, and carefully kept it and put it in a secret drawer.

Then, returning her gaze to the desk again, Kariel sighed softly.

It was because a mountain of paperwork was waiting for him today.

“Someday… … .”

Kariel continues to grind hard today, dreaming of the day when she will completely retire from this pile of paperwork.

When will he finally retire?

Even Kariel, who had risen to the ranks of gods, would not know that.

“The Crown Prince Wants to Retire” Ends

Closing remarks (2)

This time is the real finish!

I didn’t expect the side story to be this long, but I’m glad I was able to finish it.

In fact, there were rice cakes that were not recovered after finishing the main story, but it has been possible to recover them to some extent.

Thank you very much to the readers who followed me beyond the end to the abduction.

I’ve made a concluding remark, so I’ll be brief this time.
