Praise the Orc! Chapter 225:
Chapter 225 – COSMOS (1)
People were watching the final battle in hope that those connected to Elder Lord would return safely . Laney and Polaroid’s lives were also in danger in this fight . The battle they saw on the horizon was terrible .
Their breathing became rough when they were in danger . They felt stronger when Crockta and the war **** counterattacked . Those watching the scene were able to sympathize with the emotions of the broadcasters .
Thus, the audience eagerly cheered for those fighting .
“Ah, please…”
“One more time, Crockta!”
“Crockta, fighting!”
Wherever a large screen was installed on a building, people stopped to watch the video . Crowds gathered everywhere . The whole world stopped for this one fight . There were cheers and gasps as Crockta and the war **** leapt into the air . The whole country shook with cheers as they pierced her body with the help of others . But she was revived, and her mighty power pushed away the two warriors who stabbed her .
They felt despair . The gap in power between the two parties was too great . She wouldn’t die even when killed . It was a stage designed for them to lose . Defeat was scheduled .
The crowds in the streets gasped .
“Ah…!”
“No…”
Crockta was thrown away and rolled in front of the screen . He rolled across the ground a few times . His landing was such a huge impact that it wouldn’t be shocking if he died . Everyone thought this might be his last moment .
However, the fallen Crockta raised his body again . He shook his body and raised his gaze . The viewers weren’t expecting victory, but Crockta grabbed his greatsword like he wasn’t going to give up .
An indomitable will . The intense emotions of the broadcasters were conveyed to the viewers .
Suddenly, Crockta found them .
–You .
His eyes widened . Crockta met the eyes of the viewers . His front appearance looked even worse . The bloodied appearance of a hero .
Crockta gritted his teeth as he spoke .
–Why are you guys…
In the meantime, strong energy was emitted from the grey **** floating in the sky . The power revolving around her turned everything into ashes . The screen was covered with white .
Biiiiiik .
All noise was erased . Nothing could be seen on the screen . For a while, the white screen and strange tinnitus continued . People realized that it was a landscape of destruction . In the midst of it, countless lives were dying . Crockta and the broadcasters were the same .
Some time passed . When it stopped, they could see the face of the orc warrior on the screen . Crockta had wrapped himself around them in order to save them . Smoke rose from his body .
Everyone was at a loss . Elder Lord was no longer a game . Death in Elder Lord would lead to death in reality, and he had saved the broadcasters . Crockta had wrapped himself around the broadcasters to save them .
This was in real time .
“Uh…?”
Then one or two people noticed something . It wasn’t only the viewers, but also the broadcasters . His trademark was the greatsword and steel helmet . That steel helmet was split apart and his face was fully revealed . On top of his **** forehead was a white star .
The broadcasters didn’t say anything for a moment as the world’s astonishment was mirrored on Laney’s face .
–It can’t be…
The spectators were thinking the same thing . It couldn’t be . The meaning of the white star, rattled the entire world .
Laney opened her mouth and she asked the question that everyone watching wanted to know .
–Crockta, you…
The ragged Crockta was on the screen .
–Are you a user?
Crockta . He was a legend, the lone orc who always fought against oppression and injustice . A warrior who considered honor as more important than his life . Now, he was risking his life to fight against the grey god, except this time, the telltale mark of a user appeared on his forehead .
It was impossible .
Crockta smiled and said,
–Is that important?
–No, you, answer me . Are you truly a user?
–There is no time to waste .
–Crockta!
Crockta turned around and headed back to the battlefield . The grey **** was waiting as he walked back towards the pain and death . He dragged his sword with him, leaving a blood trail as he gradually moved away .
Laney gazed at him and exclaimed,
–Please let me know your name! No, tell me your name if you really are a user! You could die here, so this is something we need to know!
Her voice was distraught . Everyone was of the same mind .
–So that people can remember you .
Crockta paused at the tearful voice and slowly turned around . The white sphere was counting down to the end of the world, while the grey **** shot her power of death . Everything would be ruined . The surviving gods and mortals screamed as they resisted the destiny of destruction .
That man, Crockta smiled and replied,
–We can talk about it later over a cup of coffee .
–You…!
There was no such thing as coffee in the world of Elder Lord .
The large man walked towards the battlefield where everything and everyone was at stake . He walked alone without relying on anyone else . He walked away with the promise of ‘next time’ .
***
The power of the grey **** swept over the whole area . It was an overwhelming force, and it wouldn’t be strange if everyone died from it . But a huge shield protected the defenseless .
“It is up to here for me…”
“Please stop her . ”
It was the goddess of magic and the **** of brilliance that stopped it . They joined forces to spread open the Aegis Shield . Their strength was already at the bottom, so blocking the grey god’s attack ended up destroying their divinity . The price they paid for it was unknown . Their main vessel might be broken or destroyed, or they might sleep for thousands of years . However, they chose to do this .
“Please protect this world . ”
Their bodies blurred and they returned to Olympus . It was the departure of the goddess of magic and the **** of brilliance .
“How touching,” muttered the grey **** as she witnessed this scene unfold . It was touching, but nothing would change . Despite the sacrifices of many people, she was just becoming stronger . Victory and defeat had been determined since this began .
“All the preparations are finished . ”
“Good work . ”
Paimon appeared beside her .
“I am honored to be with you . ”
“I’m really thankful . ”
She was now a faint white figure . The white sphere in the sky was taking the shape of a person . She suddenly looked away . Crockta was returning to battle .
“Great . ”
The **** of war had been thrown back and returned to Olympus from the hit . However, Crockta survived . He truly was a warrior who had defeated a **** . The grey **** had brought him into this world, but even she couldn’t tell that he would become so strong and that he would achieve all those great feats .
Thus, she felt sadder . She wished she had met him in a different situation .
“Now I will finish this . ”
She released her strength . The goddess of magic had sacrificed herself to block the previous attack, but now there was no one to stop this one . Hundreds of grey rays materialized in the air and recognized each target .
“Don’t let me be bothered . ”
Time passed again . The sun was falling and it was becoming darker . As the next day arrived, the world would return to a single point and be created again . She would reverse entropy by using the power of the destroyed world .
It was her mission .
“I will accompany you then . ” She chose a way where even she would disappear . “It would be nice to finish this with a smile . ”
There was a time when she spent her days relaxing in Olympus, just like any other **** . At that time, the star **** was alive and the sun **** hadn’t fallen asleep . She spent her days with the war god, the goddess of magic and all other gods in Olympus .
They looked down at the ground and laughed, wept and joked . Why didn’t she know how happy that time was? The old days . She could never get that time back . Why did time only flow in one direction? If only she could rewind time for a bit, it would’ve been nice to spend a bit of time in the old days .
Still, there were no regrets . She was doing what she could, what only she could do . The universe must be lifted from the eternal sinking .
“Hello . ”
Her power shot towards the targets . Most of them were pierced and died . But there were others who blocked it .
Kaaang!
Crockta swung God Slayer . He was holding his greatsword and stumbling towards her . His body staggered, but he regained his balance and stepped forward . Their eyes met . His eyes were blazing . Her attack seemed to have poured oil on the fire .
“Cool until the end . ”
He truly had an indomitable will . Who could beat this will? It was only death that could stop him . However, her hands shook in the air . It was hesitation . Their roads were different, but it was too sad . She wanted to talk with him . He who had the strongest spirit that she saw in her long life .
“I will take care of the rest . ” Paimon read her emotions and said .
“Thank you . ”
“It is nothing . ”
Paimon shot towards Crockta instead of her . He was also given power from the sphere . The power of the grey **** was connected to him .
“It is the end . ”
The thought of the orc’s life ending disturbed the grey god’s heart .
Crockta recognized Paimon . There was tension between the two of them . Paimon grinned and emitted power . The power of the grey **** filled his hands . He tried to kill Crockta before Crockta could open his mouth .
However . It was Paimon who was prevented from saying anything .
The mysterious steel belt around Crockta’s waist . It moved . The moment that Paimon realized . A huge mouth swallowed him .
***
The grey god, who left the finishing touches to Paimon, was rising towards the sphere .
Then she felt a fierce strength behind her . It was somehow familiar . A strength that was similar to hers . It exploded and swallowed Paimon . Her connection with him was broken .
The grey **** turned around . There was a huge mouth that swallowed everything .
“You…!”
It was an existence that she knew very well . In the past, when she fought against the gods, the commander who led her army . He looked like a timid child, but he was actually a ruthless glutton who devoured everything .
“Beelzebub──────!”
He completely swallowed Paimon . The greedy mouth was dissatisfied and turned towards her .
“How are you…?”
“Mother . ” He started talking . “I’m sorry . ”
The shape of the child in the darkness of the ‘Demon’s Mouth, Beelzebub whispered .
“Crockta promised me . ” The giant mouth roared towards the grey **** . “He will prove it with his own life . ”
The end of the universe that the grey **** saw was also communicated to Beelzebub . She felt a terrible despair and barely held her spirit together, while Beelzebub was so terrified he could do nothing but cower in fear .
He became half crazed and then he met Crockta in Quantes . He showed Crockta the end of the universe . He tried to pollute Crockta’s mind with emptiness and hopelessness . However, Crockta made a promise with him .
‘The world isn’t a void . Even if the world will end someday, life isn’t meaningless . ’
In the darkness, Crockta was like a glowing light .
‘Follow me . If you follow me then I will prove it . ’
The eyes of the orc warrior were unshaken . His eyes were still clearly facing the world .
‘My life . ’
Thus, Beelzebub contemplated the world alongside Crockta . He sat at Crockta’s waist and watched . The world that he saw was quite different from what Beelzebub knew . Many things happened . Beelzebub watched everything .
This man stood alone on the battlefield of the world’s destruction . That’s why Beelzebub acted in the last moment .
Did Crockta prove it? This was Beelzebub’s answer .
Beelzebub roared, “Kuaaaaaah─────!”
The greedy demon Beelzebub’s mouth covered the grey **** . It was an unbelievable mouth that could even swallow divinity . This was the demon who terrorized the gods .
“You also deserted me for Crockta . ”
The grey **** smiled bleakly .
The gods of Olympus came with him . She was betrayed by Gushantimur, who previously agreed with her . Abaddon stepped back and now her closest ally revealed himself against her .
“It won’t change anything . ”
She was swallowed by Beelzebub’s mouth . But she didn’t care . She wielded her divine power inside Beelzebub . The dark insides of Beelzebub retreated . His body was torn apart from the inside . A hole was created, revealing the outside scenery . Beelzebub’s giant mouth fell to pieces .
“I will destroy the world soon . ” The grey **** shattered Beelzebub’s body and declared to Crockta . “You are the only one left . Crockta . ”
Everyone else was down . He was standing alone . The white sphere was filling the sky . The grey **** would join with it . And Crockta only had a greatsword .
It was the final stage .
“I see . ”
Crockta slowly lifted God Slayer . A friend who was always with him . The sword was crying at him .
Crockta smiled . The two stood facing each other .
Crockta whispered, “Bul’tar . ”
Then they attacked each other again . Time flowed slowly .
At that moment . The fallen Beelzebub, who acted like he was dead, rose up and swallowed them both .
