King of Shadows - 500 00500 Chaos
The sparrow speaks, and Steven nods as if it were natural. He was able to cope without being surprised because he knew it would happen from the start. I came to Zephyros because it was all planned.
“A plan cannot go ahead without me, Duang.”
The sparrow, Duang, nods and opens his mouth.
“You know better. I can rest assured that you’re safe and sound. So, you haven’t changed a bit?”
“It’s been almost two years since we’ve been apart, and there’s no way that’s changed. There was a little bit of income in the middle. I was involved in a covert project in America.”
Duang was able to see what it meant.
“Did you become a test subject?”
“I needed the strength. And I can’t die if Duane touches me.”
“But it was reckless.”
“I’m fine. I don’t have any difficulties with being powerless, but I don’t have any difficulties with being overpowered.”
Steven smiles bitterly as he recalls what happened seven years ago. At that time, when he was 12 years old, he was forced to submit to endless disasters. There was no power to stop the heteros from spilling in Palatica. Death is fair to all. That’s why Steven confessed to his death.
But he didn’t die. A stranger who appeared suddenly saved his life. It was Duane who led Steven on the right path, wandering around without catching his ribs. Duang was a pioneer, but Steven regarded him as family. As a lifesaver, there was nothing I could not do.
“How did it feel to actually see the King of Shadows? Was he as strong as you expected?”
“Yes, it was definitely strong. But if that power is all I can handle,”
Steven, who has been experimenting with torture for the past two years, has transcended human limits. There were no words to define him now. There was no unit that could measure his strength. That’s why Steven was so confident.
“Good news. If we can tie his feet together, it’ll be only a matter of time before the plan succeeds.” ”
Duang outlines his thoughts and explains his plan to Steven.
“… there. So when I say so, go to the designated location and open the door. Then your dream will come true. I will wipe out the Western continent, the incarnation of The One, and the Eastern continent that brought The One disaster to Earth.”
“I will also ask those who attend the dimensional conference.”
“If that’s your dream…”
Dream. As soon as Steven heard that, his heart trembled. He hated the circle more. But more than that, I hated humans. Steven realizes his fear of humanity in the Grand Delliol. When resources and places were limited, people abandoned their manners and morality and began to reveal their ugly nature.
It was no exaggeration to say that Grandeliol, who had lost his laws and regulations, was a living hell for evil spirits. Steven knew the brightest of them all. The one who makes even demons babies. He, who captured the attention of people with three tongues, used his title as a weapon to form a community.
‘He’ promised a fair and even distribution, but it was all a lie. Forming a huge community, he took away other people’s choices. They abused the power of the group. Those who left the community were killed, and those who liked them were drunk. It was martyrdom to hand over the slain as prey to the heteros. He shows you how far a human can fall.
Even the devil who wielded power on his back was not lacking. Stephen came out through the dome brake to the outside world, informing him of his dangers, but no one was listening. All of them covered him with one mind. He wouldn’t do that. What you’re saying is a lie. I have been passionately defending him ever since he was a victim.
After a long struggle, Steven realizes the world is rotting. There were no laws and regulations for the weak before the Grand Delliol came down. Only Duang believed that Steven hated humans and hated their actions. He actively supported Duang’s plan.
If it’s a new world, the future you want will unfold. Steven stretches his imagination and looks down at Duang.
“Too late. I’m leaving now, so prepare yourself for tomorrow.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“And you take care of this.”
As soon as the conversation is over, Duang, or the sparrow, falls back. It was a dramatic change, but Steven wasn’t shaken. From the beginning, the sparrow was just a cold lump of meat. He was dead from the moment he flew here.
“Tsk…”
Steven raises his finger and the flame rises and turns the sparrow into ashes. As he breathes, the white ash disappears from the wind without a trace.

“Stupid.”
Duang, sitting in the harmony room, laughs at Steven, who is naive. Bondi was the escort guarding the Lobby Family. He was Grogan’s pawn and loyal henchman. But Gromgan envies and fears his power.
It was a moment when the kill order fell. Duang, who saved his life, flees to Earth, avoiding Grogan’s gaze. Duang leans in to raise his strength and sees Steven there.
Humans who have lived through death. Object transformed to a higher object. Duang reaches out to Steven, who has transformed into something else. It was Steven who died willingly and lived willingly, but he regarded Duang as a lifesaver whether he didn’t remember the process.
Fortunately, Duang found a stone called Steven and worked his heart out. You sharpen and polish Steven until it becomes a trench that can cause division.
Duang brainwashed Steven for a long time. It was not difficult to dispel young Steven’s judgment. All I had to do was say something sweet and be positive. I was so excited to see Steven change gradually, no matter how enthusiastic.
“Not a bad plan. Except for one thing.”
As soon as the voice of the third party reached his ears, Duang stood up. I realized I had an uninvited guest nearby.
Shallow shoulders. Bumpy Maburiko. The old man with the beard all the way to his toes, leaning on his cane, smiling in vain. Despite its appearance, Duang does not laugh at the old man.
Duane pulls himself down, noticing at once that the old man is an unusual creature.
“Who are you?”
“Me? I’m Hippos. To put it more simply, it’s a god who controls sleep and hypnosis. I came here because there seems to be a glitch in your plan. I think I’ll be sad if you fail. If you care about my sudden appearance, feel free to think of me as an advisor.”
Duang smiles. The existence that Zieg mentioned appeared. The cosmic myth, the horror that roams through the universe, the great old being. Duen to the thought of contacting them one day, Duang was able to quickly calm his mind.
“Hifnos. What do you mean, something’s wrong with my plan?”
“It’s all good, but the signs of the Shadow King-Azatos – they’re so silly. He’s not funny enough to be on the same boat as you guys.”
Hifnos didn’t want to acknowledge the existence of Se-hyun. But if you don’t admit it, there is no victory. Underestimating the creature that killed Nordens was an act of suicide. That’s why Hifnos appeared to Duang. I healed when I got hit. Collaboration has always been the truth.
“Then there’s something you want from us.”
“I like it because it’s quick to see. What I need from you is a quick march. Instead, I’ll deal with the Shadow King from here. What do you think?”
If Hifnos really is the one Ziegret mentioned, then this situation is fortunate. There was nothing to think about. The fact that he broke through the uncharted space and broke into the secret base alone proves the extent of his power.
“Very well. If Hifnos can do that, I’ll march as fast as I can.” ”
“It’s really nice to know the situation so quickly. I want to compliment you. If you had any doubt about my existence, you wouldn’t have woken up forever.”
“What do you mean…”
“Sooner or later, the king of the shadow will have a long dream. Sweet as honey, soft as cotton candy.”
Hippos strokes Duang’s head with a cane, his beard tucked into his toes.
“The rest is up to you.”
“Ugh…!”
Dueng to the collapsing sensation, Duang’s eyes flash open. And then I woke up. He rubs his temples and is stunned. He realized that he had fallen asleep without even knowing it.
‘The power to break the boundary between dreams and reality.’
Duang shudders at the power of Hippos. I didn’t know when it was going to be a dream. The boundaries between dreams and reality were so ambiguous. I couldn’t tell if you were a dream or if this was a dream.
Duang, unable to endure the disconnection between dreams and reality, has been unable to move for a while. However, as the gap got worse, he was convinced. He didn’t make the wrong choice.

“Why did you come back to Zephyros?”
Currently Chris is an unexplored settlement on the western continent. There was no way back and forth. All Chris, he had to pioneer. Not to mention not being able to see the map without a name.
Chris takes down a snake the size of a fortress in a single blow, staring at the slander. It was my tenth encounter already. Many enemies were pleasant, but low temper did not help.
“Take your time. There’s nothing you can do there anyway. They won’t even know we’re here. No, you wouldn’t expect it.”
“I’m not asking you that. I see you’re tired of your usual tricks. Just tell me why you’re here.”
“It’s no fun to answer straight away. It takes some tension to open a treasure chest so Chris can enjoy it.”
“You want to enjoy my reaction.”
“So is he. I’ve seen everything. I’ll tell you. Did you know K’Tulu used this place as an outpost?”
“Yes.”
Chris couldn’t have known. It was Alto’s deception to find K’Tulu and send him to Earth. If she hadn’t stepped up, K’Tulu would have been resurrected from Zephyros.
“Alto must have been around, so you know the basics. Chris, you know, K’Tulu was always thinking about death, not being great, old.”
“You’ve done so much, you’ll have no choice but to think about the rest.”
“That’s it.”
“Is there any treasure he left in Zephyros?”
“It’s worth more than Bogu. The alpha version of cache should be easy to understand.”
The girl with the K’Tulu seed, Chris, who thought of Kathy, frowned. Kathy was insignificant. He was a child with neither strength nor ability. The alpha version of that kid. Chris was discouraged.
“Not looking forward to it.”
“Is that so?”
