Chapter 375
Do-Jun finally understood why Kyu-Kyu had chosen him. Cecilia had said it was to stop Solomon, but the truth was that the real threat lay elsewhere.
Kyu-Kyu explained that, according to the altered history of the past, it hadn’t opened the gate to the Path of Dimensions for Solomon even after he arrived with both Keys. The reason was simple: once the gate was opened, unless the King of the Dimensions was defeated in that same attempt, every single dimension would truly be destroyed. Opening of the Path of Dimensions would lift the seal that had suppressed the king’s power, releasing an overwhelming force of monsters into both the Deep Realm and the Core.
That was why Kyu-Kyu had been steadily and persistently searching for someone who could unify the scattered figures of the Core and stand against the King of the Dimensions.
Now that the truth was out, Apophis let out a low, rumbling growl.
—So that’s what happened...
It was hard to believe that the King of the Dimensions, who had always been thought of as a mere myth, truly existed. Knowing of his existence and that the complete destruction of all dimensions was a real possibility was not something Apophis wanted to accept.
“Didn’t most dimensions already disappear through the Encroachment?” Tusitala asked Do-Jun.
He shook his head and answered, “They still exist.”
“What?”
“They were Encroached, yes, but not destroyed. The people who died in the Core... I’ve found them again, living within those Encroached dimensions. They’ve lost some of their memories, but they’re still alive—real, breathing people.”
Now that the Interpreter had reached the “Lost Item” grade, it allowed Do-Jun to cross over into other Encroached dimensions. He recalled the people he had seen living in those realms. They were missing pieces of their memories, but they were undeniably alive.
“Then... that final battle...” Tusitala trailed off.
