Merba (1)

Now he had welcomed two visitors ahead of the dimensional shift. The sound of wind and soft rain pelted the outside of his My Rooms window- there werent weather conditions in My Room, and there wasnt even a window, but he felt that way. It was the calm before the storm. No one said anything as they watched each other quietly, in the midst of a fierce mental battle. Then, Shu, the most impatient and short-sighted of them, decided to take action first.

Grandpa, I missed you!

Huh? Hey!

The image of the girl rushing up to kiss his cheek with a lively voice was the very image of a granddaughter who came down to the countryside to see her grandfather during summer vacation. It was plausible, ignoring the fact that Kang Shin-hyuk was still only a minor.

Whos this kid?!

Whoo, how vulgar

Im not a kid anymore! Right, grandpa? Arent I older?

It hadnt been a year since he last saw Shu, but her height had grown to about 150 centimeters. In addition, her body subtly looked more mature. Although she was shorter than Eleanor still, it could be said to be a great development, considering that she looked like a ten-year-old before Specifically, she had undergone a dramatic change from being an elementary school student to a middle school student.

Yes, you grew up a lot.

Hehe, all thanks to you! Ah.

She tried to kiss his cheek again, but he separated from her. He couldnt show such a sight in front of Claire, even if she were just a child. Kang Shin-hyuk patted Shu before turning to Tsukuyo.

Its been a while since Ive seen you too Im sorry about last time.

No, Anvil, you called me like this today. Rather, I want to say hello to you too

Tsukuyos gaze caught on Shu. Claire, who knew what she wanted to do, guarded Kang Shin-hyuk.

You cant.

Even though Shu was on the younger side, she was, in fact, too fast to be stopped. If Kang Shin-hyuk had a more insincere personality No, if he hadnt remembered his previous life, he mightve been tempted. She believed in his innocence but ignoring this woman was a separate matter. No matter how sincere he was, he might make a momentary mistake if she continued to woo him so proactively!

Little children have a lot of monopolies. How about facing each other with a more generous heart in terms of loving the same man?

Im sorry, but you dont have a seat. Right?

Oh, yes.

For Kang Shin-hyuk, he had no choice but to agree with Claire. In addition, it was true that after her argument with Tsukuyo the other day, she felt awkward.

To Anvil But its okay. In the end, it will be me who will be the closest to you.

Its difficult to receive such a confession.

Lets listen to it. You always pretend to be relaxed, but you know that all you actually do is sexual harassment?

Grandpa, cant you hold my hand?

Somehow, the person concerned doesnt even say anything Whoo, thats cute. Yes, really.

Kang Shin-hyuk sighed at the sight of the three growling at each other before they even departed. These two were called for some unconditional understanding? Although they considered his need unconditionally, the administrator didnt consider what they thought of each other.

-Administrators mistake! A 1,000,000HP bonus to you!

Its noisy.

After reprimanding the administrator, he clapped his hands to focus their attention.

We dont have time to hang out. We need to start soon.

The world where Anvil was born Ive been very interested in it.

Right. Merba? Even the Jormungand guys cant go there.

Except for me, pretending to know anything

I dont really know, so Im relieved, Claire.

Ah, the two of you stick together and get killed!

Kang Shin-hyuk felt something bother him when she said that even Jormungand couldnt enter, but he set that thought aside and started moving to the dimension. However, there was something surprising there, so it was impossible to go using the administrators power alone. Using the power of the Hero Universe, Kang Shin-hyuk, who had contact with the weapons he created in the past, pierced the passage with his ability to dominate space and expanded it with Tsukuyos magical power. Nevertheless, the safety of the passage was too low, but there was someone in the party who could make the probability be 100%, which was Shu. She, who could reach the result without causality, could make adjustments to acquire the best results at all times in all actions.

Of course, it should be fine with the four of us!

Thats great, Shu.

Hey Grandfather. Praise me more!

Its ridiculous to hear Anvil complimenting you because of the race you were born as.

Huh? I think that goes for the lady whos lightly waving her tail behind her ass?

Kang Shin-hyuk suddenly thought about stopping the two VIP members who couldnt stand not fighting. At first, he thought about why the administrator invited these two among the many candidates of the Hero Universe, but the answer was simple. It had to be them. Tsukuyo was a bit subtler, but she probably had another reason he didnt know about.

-Youve entered the perished world of Merba. It is a world where the power of the Gaia system cannot reach. Please be careful.

Ha.

The moment they finally arrived at Merba with the power of three VIP members, a bloody message came to his retinas. Even if Gaias power didnt reach them, there wasnt much of a difference. They wouldnt learn of increases in their skill or trait or receive early warnings about sudden gate occurrences, but that wasnt a meaningful difference at the level of skill Kang Shin-hyuk possessed. The problem was the Hero Universe

How is it?

-No need to worry. The Hero Universe is different from Gaia. Its not Gaia.

Did he say it twice because its important? Kang Shin-hyuk sighed at the administrators rant and looked around. First, check the number of people. Everyone was holding onto him in preparation for the event, but all of them seemed to have completed the dimensional movement. However, even now, in Merba, they were rubbing up against him like cats.

Its all gone!

Its not worn out.

The fabric is worn out.

He was worried there might be an issue with their minds, but physically, they were okay, so he left them alone and looked around. But no matter where he looked, only sandy desert spread out around them.

This Its terrible. Even if I try to expand my energy, I cant feel it.

Because its a much wider world than Earth. If there are no traces of civilization within sight, theres nothing strange.

He shouldnt take Tsukuyos words as they were, as the party there werent at the level of ordinary people on Earth, but each one possessed one of the best abilities in space. They could scan half the Earth in an instant, with their enhanced eyesight and detection capabilities. Yet, even with that, they couldnt detect anything other than the desert.

Shall we move forward until we see something?

We have no choice but to.

The problem arose again when Kang Shin-hyuk pulled out the blue cow without much thought. The blue cow was a one-seater. Maybe a two-seater at best, and the three women were preparing to fight over who would ride behind him. Kang Shin-hyuk called Onyx out while worrying this would repeat until the dimensional quest was over.

Onyx, use your realization.

-Myu!

The change was dramatic. When Onyx assimilated into the bike, activated his ability and the blue cow suddenly changed from a bike into a four-seater sports car. What was surprising was that its performance and options remained the same. Rather, its abilities were raised even further by Onyx. Of course, the car wasnt made of pure metal, but that part was possible by coordinating with the blue cows ego.

Oh my, this is

Tsukuyo, who had called out a few fox fires around her, first recognized the change and let out a shocked voice.

Thats amazing, Anvil! Hey, is it possible to transform anything related to metal at will?

No, it looks like he changes it based on what he ate before. They even put together the best parts on their own.

How? With this ability alone, he could become a member of the Hero Universe.

It was only upon eating the Gaia system in Cy Xenon did Onyx realize this power. Until then, he was grasping it as assimilation with metals to improve or slightly transform them. Now it was reborn as transforming them completely.

So, everyone, get on, and dont fight. No, why is Claire trying to fight already?

You know, there are fights you cant back down from even though theyre meaningless.

Claire, the most normal of the three, was already conforming to these idiots after just a few minutes! Kang Shin-hyuk sighed, putting Claire in the passenger seat as he hopped into the drivers. Tsukuyo and Shu were forced into the back seat with their loss. However, both expected that this quest would be longer, so they decided to work hard not to miss their opportunity.

Then, lets go. For reference, the seats are fixed as they are.

Grandpa, a man shouldnt notice a woman like that!

Its my request, so lets go quietly.

Chi, I also want to make a child.

Why, this little girl said some vulgar words.

And youre no different?

The blue metallic sports car then started running through the desert. It was when a new track was engraved in the sand that had accumulated for many years.
