The Exiled Hero Has Been Resummoned

22 – Finding the Truth

Judgment and execution continued, but it was delayed in the case of personnel with high combat power, personnel in the military, and those in really important positions.

The government has already passed to the citizens and Chaejin.

Now that the Imperial Palace is occupied by the Holy Knights, it was safe to say that there was no possibility that the remnants of the nobles would work together to recapture it.

So it’s not too late to deal with everything after the disaster.

So, unless they committed a crime that would not be strange if they were summarily executed, many people headed to the battlefield.

This is what Chaejin declared.

If he goes to the battlefield and plays an active role, he will also save the weak, so he will reduce the crime according to the achievement he made.

The new empire, centered on those of integrity and ability, joined forces with one heart and one mind for the first time that a demonic clone appeared.

And as they arrived on the battlefield, the news of the fall of the emperor spread to the front lines.

“Really? The emperor…… ?”

“I can’t believe it at all. I’m not going to lie.”

“Huh, is it a revolution?”

“The new power was a hero? Oh well, whatever is good As long as the reinforcements are sure to come.”

Also, Elua, who was struggling on the frontlines, also learned about this news.

‘That doesn’t sound like a lie. Warrior…… In the end, you destroyed the empire.’

Thankfully, I felt bitter even thinking about that.

There is no place for oneself in the Empire of Heroes.

Since he was a traitor who brutally trampled on the hero’s love and innocence.

He was expelled from the family where he was treated as an outsider, and his name was erased from the Magic Tower.

She became a traitor to her humanity, and the only place she could feel at ease was the battlefield.

Here, we treated each other as comrades who never knew when they would die, regardless of where they came from or what their status was.

She felt sorry for the children she had reaped, but El Lua intended to die on her battlefield.

I couldn’t understand why.

Ah, the innocence that disappeared in the blink of an eye, the love of the departed warrior was so regretful and sad.

He wanted the hero to marry another woman and live happily ever after, but he didn’t have the confidence to watch it sanely.

So you will die fighting.

He said it was the only thing he could do that didn’t break his heart.

Zabak-

“Light.”

Deep in the dungeon of the Imperial Palace.

Chaejin floated an orb of light on her palm and wandered around.

[ Win, claim the empire and come to the deepest, darkest hidden place in the dungeon of the imperial palace. The rest of the story will be there. ]

‘I came here because I was worried about that…… I don’t know how to find the hidden place.’

Right now, the inside of the prison in the imperial palace is empty.

This is a place where political prisoners are usually confined.

Due to the nature of political prisoners, they are often innocent, so he is detained elsewhere for a new trial.

The execution in the public square was not just about grabbing anyone and making them confess their crimes.

Kneeling down next to the guillotine and telling the sins directly is just a performance.

Only those who have already been verified and sentenced to death are climbed onto the guillotine and beheaded.

In the chill of being alone in this large stone room, Chaejin continued to walk down the hallway of the prison.

Tsuzuzu-

In the meantime, I felt the presence of something and looked away.

In the darkness, something like a grayish-white shadow that shimmered and shimmered revealed itself.

I stopped and watched, and the hazy shadow looked at Chaejin once and walked into a corner as if to follow him.

Chaejin hesitated for a moment, but she followed after the doll.

After going around the corner it entered, the shadow was entering another corner.

A form that clearly guides you somewhere.

‘This is…… It’s a dog hole. I can only get in if I crawl.’

Sensing her doubts, she continued to follow, and soon the road ahead was blocked.

‘What should I do now?’

Did he even read Chaejin’s mind?

I heard a low voice in my ear.

ㅡ Ma, me…….

She said to blow mana into the wall that was blocking her.

I pretended to be fooled and increased her mana. The walls moved with a gurgling sound, and a statue of a goddess emitting soft light appeared.

I felt a strange and mysterious feeling as I was giving off my own light in a dark room where no light would come in without a light.

Chaejin picked it up.

It was just the right size to hold in her hand.

“!”

But as soon as she picked it up, the surrounding walls disappeared.

He is now in the middle of an ordinary hallway.

Then what do you mean?

Are you saying that the passage you just crawled into was also an illusion?

‘The statue of the goddess held in her hand is also gone… ….’

However, what I just saw and experienced is not in vain.

‘Something might appear.’

Thinking of that, as soon as I woke up, a woman appeared next to me.

It’s not that I saw it wrong, a person was actually ‘created’ within arm’s reach.

Her woman, with her long hair hanging down to the floor in her see-through dress, looked exactly like a goddess character I had seen in a game at one point.

“Nice to meet you, the warrior who received my protection. I was watching you all the time.”

“… ….”

As soon as he heard her first words, Chaejin couldn’t help but stiffen.

The goddess she saw in her dream certainly said the same thing.

[ Nice to meet you, warrior with my protection. ]

However, it seemed that the woman in front of him and the goddess Chaejin knew were not the same person.

Then one of the two was that he was lying.

“Is that you? The resistance is the one who came looking for me.”

“Yes. I’m glad things went well. Thanks for finding me. Only you, who received divine protection but lost it, could set me free.”

“Rather than thanking you, I would like you to explain. It’s called ‘my blessing’. What the hell is going on?”

“You are unkind. I haven’t even thanked you for saving my world yet…… What good It’s not too late to do that later.”

Her first words she uttered.

“The goddess you used to know is fake.”

From that point on, it was a huge shock to Chaejin.

“He is not the administrator of this world, but the administrator of another world. When I made a protection against the demon’s double body and almost exhausted my strength, they attacked and took the protection and sealed me here.”

“So you are the real goddess of this world?”

The woman nodded her head.

“Yes.”

“The blessing I received was also made by you?”

“Yes.”

“The divine protection was stolen from a goddess from another world. It is sealed up as it is.”

“Mmm, right.”

“Are you asking me to believe that this is real?”

“…… Stop embarrassing me It was a disaster for me too. I didn’t have time to fight against the demon’s double body.”

It didn’t sound like the woman was lying.

However, there is nothing more foolish than judging the words of such a transcendent being with human standards.

Chaejin asked without removing her doubts.

“Then why did your false goddess try to save the world? Even threatening that it’s my world next…….”

“That’s right, if this world is destroyed, there will be no point in stealing it. Its purpose is not to destroy, but to make my world its own.”

It was quite plausible.

“Do you know? There are countless such worlds in this universe. The greater the power the world has, the higher our class will be. The fake is plotting to elevate her by merging her world with mine. By repulsing the body of the Demon God twice.”

“To defeat it twice, I can’t believe it… ….”

“Yes. Everything is his plan and gambler. I seduced the humans of my world into banishing you. If you just do a reverse summon, you can resist and bounce it off with divine protection and mental strength, so use the woman you love and engrave her deep trauma.”

Kugoong.

It was so shocking that it seemed that such hallucinations could be heard in her head.

‘Ellua did that…… Was it just to give me mental damage?’

Several emotions boiled over, but the biggest among them was curiosity.

“Why did you do that?”

“This is my world. In order to completely take it from me, it was necessary to create chaos large enough to completely destroy the order I had built up. That is the resurrection of the sealed double body. Well, thanks to that, I was slightly released from the seal and was able to come into contact with you.”

“…… According to you, the whole world was being used by it.”

“Yes. Under normal circumstances, I would have given the oracle that if I betrayed the hero, there would be divine punishment, but he wants the exact opposite. Now, after the new hero defeats the clone body, my order completely collapses and a new order enters, merging his world with my world. His world is a twisted land where ordinary people cannot live…… The inhabitants of this world will probably not survive.”

It wasn’t the end simply by defeating the demon’s clone again.

‘Ha, what the hell.’

In a situation where there is no guarantee of victory against the clone body right now, Chae-jin is dumbfounded as a new path to destruction is presented.

“But I have a way. If you follow me…….”

“Stop.”

Chaejin cut off the woman who claimed to be the ‘real goddess of this world’.

“It could be that you are deceiving me. You and the goddess who summoned me. They are just words, and there is no way to trust them.”

“…… Is it. Even so, I can’t help it. It’s because of my lack of ability.”

“Convince me some more. As much as I want to believe.”

The ‘real goddess’ nodded.

“Tomorrow, will you completely empty the imperial palace and come back here? I’ll reproduce it and show you. What did that guy do? You will also learn the truth about the woman you loved.”

Through-

The figure of the woman disappeared.

“The truth of Elua… ….”

Chaejin’s voice resounded deep in the empty dungeon.
