---

In a corner of the battlefield, a giant jelly pig was soaring through the sky, while the giant black reaper and the giant blue reaper golem were smashing harmful objects.

‘Are you okay?’

The purple reapers were poking the rusty purple reaper’s cheek with worried expressions.

The scar that looked like rust was hardened on their smooth purple skin.

They were asking if it hurt as they looked at that part.

But the rusty purple reaper smiled softly and said it was fine.

After all, it was a wound obtained while protecting their attached human, a scar like a medal.

As the rusty purple reaper said that, they looked up at their attached human.

Receiving a sparkling gaze, the man smiled lightly and began to gently pet the rusty purple reaper’s head with his finger.

At that, the rusty purple reaper beamed with happiness, rubbing their cheek against that finger.

Seeing that, the purple reapers had very envious expressions.

‘I want an attached human too.’

The purple reapers had returned after being called by their mother during their journey to find an attached human.

Perhaps because of that, they began to ignite their determination that they would go back to find an attached human after this situation was resolved.

As they clenched their small fists in determination, an ominous blue light began to spread toward the purple reapers.

‘!’

The purple reapers were startled by that harmful light and surrounded themselves with a shadow curtain.

Fluff fluff.

A faint but clear ominous light that rusts shadows.

The purple reapers looked at the rusty purple reaper with worried expressions, but they seemed to be doing better than expected.

No matter how weak they got, being a high-ranking mini reaper meant it had little effect.

However, it was fatal towards some object that was forcibly created by weaving illusions.

In an instant, the glow-in-the-dark dinosaur rusted and scattered into dust.

‘No!! My glow-in-the-dark T-Rex!’

Along with that, the mother’s grief was spreading outward.

*

[Please protect everyone!]

As the ominous starlight spread, the blue reaper poured all their strength to weave strings in the air.

Then, like a dome arena to protect the humans, a huge droplet was formed.

It was a droplet to protect people from a deadly light that turns all touching substances into rusty metal.

But perhaps it was inadequate, the droplet shook as if it would break at any moment.

‘Hang in there!’

The golden reapers were fidgeting, having no way to help.

At that moment, shadows, like living beings, began to cover the droplet in a grid pattern.

It was the power of the purple reapers who entered the droplet, fluttering their cloaks.

‘Strong little brother!’

‘Little brother!’

The golden reaper cheered upon seeing that scene.

The fortunate aspect was that this ominous blue light affected both allies and enemies alike.

The harmful objects fighting against the mini reapers were all turned into dust like glow-in-the-dark T-Rexes.

So, the mini reapers could now watch their mother fight without fighting anymore.

The mini reapers settled near the humans they liked, starting to cheer for their mom.

‘Mom, hang in there!’

*

As I shifted my consciousness into the black corpse, the confidence that I could do anything surged.

The size and power of it were incomparable to the gray reaper’s.

It felt like I would be swept away at any moment, but since I had dealt with corpses often, I felt somewhat accustomed to it.

The greenish, glowing fog spread across the ground.

It seemed to create a space reminiscent of a mini reaper garden.

So, perhaps, within the blue mist, it felt as if the space itself was obstructing my movements.

Normally, I would spread a mini reaper garden to defend, but this corpse had no such dedicated space.

And in fact, this corpse didn’t need such a space.

As I slowly approached the blue giant, the giant’s attack began.

Numerous rusty wires appeared from the fog, wrapping around my body.

But ignoring them and moving, they all snapped.

As the blue giant stared at me, the space began to tear apart.

But even if the space broke, it had no effect on this body.

As the space folded in on itself, it trapped me in a space that I could never exit.

A space with reflections resembling a room made of mirrors, endlessly stretching out.

The only difference from mirrors was that the space itself was twisted in various ways.

But to this body, it was not much different from a mirror.

As I forcibly shoved my hand into the space and tore it apart, the opening turned into white flames and vanished.

The spear that rusts everything pierced my body, but it was useless.

As the blue light intensified within the fog, causality overturned, and material and information began to separate.

Humans or objects touched by the light lost their memories, and letters in books flowed down like water.

But it was of no use to this body.

Thump. Thump.

With the elongated arm of the corpse, I slammed the ground hard and slowly approached.

As if trying to evoke fear, slowly.

Very slowly.

The blue giant wielded all sorts of powers to try and stop me, but it was useless.

All of the blue giant’s attacks couldn’t even harm the sturdy body of the corpse.

And as my hand got close enough to reach the blue giant, it tried to change its body back into particles to escape.

But it was already too late.

From the moment my small, precious T-Rex died, it was already over.

‘Where do you think you’re running?’

I stretched out my long arm and gripped the blue giant fiercely as if to tear it apart.

Creeeak!

Then, a horrifying sound like the space tearing echoed, and my sharp claws slowly began to sink into the giant’s torso.

‘Wow.’

I felt amazement at that nonsensical phenomenon.

Because I was strong, I could just tear through physical immunity with pure strength.

So, I began to slowly rip apart the giant.

*

As the giant’s power weakened and the light that rusts the surroundings quieted down, the mini reapers gathered around me like meerkats to watch.

The black reapers had completely gathered around me, jumping up and down, yelling, ‘Strong mom!’

Even though the blue giant could easily hurt the mini reapers, it kept approaching insistently.

‘It’s dangerous, back off!’

Even though I told them to step back, the black reapers stuck to me even more joyfully.

‘Our worried strong mom!’

‘Gentle mom!’

In the end, I gave up on chasing away the black reapers and began to ponder how to kill the blue giant.

‘Why won’t it die at all?’

Even if I tore all its limbs apart.

Even if I disintegrated it with beams, leaving no dust behind.

Even if I ground it down to make T-Rex-shaped nuggets.

The giant did not die and was still regenerating.

‘Ah! Why did I forget that?’

At that moment, an important fact that I had forgotten popped into my mind.

‘Destruction conditions!’

How could I forget to check the destruction conditions?

While fighting with the flesh power via the black corpse, it seemed my brain had also dulled.

As I used my eyes to check the destruction conditions, a very complicated set of criteria arose.

[In a completely isolated space where the foreign being's star does not reach, let the blue giant ignite the flame of emotion and invoke the desire for destruction.]

Is that really possible?

It looks absurdly hard to kill, doesn’t it?

Do I need to weaken it as much as possible like sealing a demon lord and then store it in the mini reaper garden?

Or should I periodically control the corpse to tear it apart?

In the midst of pondering these unsolvable destruction conditions, a quiet vibration resonated from the firewood in my heart.

As if my heart was beating, thump thump.

And with that heartbeat, everything came to a halt.

Darkness swallowed the whole world, and all colors sank into the darkness.

The cheers of the mini reapers ceased, and even the wind stopped blowing.

The blackened world fell silent that way.

In the world frozen as if time stopped, a white flame rose, cutting through the darkness.

As if blood was pouring from the heart, the white flame flowed through space, making the black world pulse.

And within that pulse, the destruction condition of the blue giant altered.

<[I will eat.]>

The moment I confirmed that destruction condition, my consciousness began to plunge deep into the corpse.

*

Consciousness that dug deep into the unconscious began to gradually rise.

Swish swish.

A small sound that could be heard.

It was such a small sound, as if it was coming from very far away, but strangely, it seemed to be a sound coming right in front of me.

Swish swish.

As the sound grew louder, the presence of the blue giant diminished.

It felt as though the very fabric of reality was being recklessly shaved away.

An enemy weakening is a good thing.

Swish swish.

As the sound grew louder, even the presence of the color universe faded away.

The foreign beings from the color universe were moving away, which was a good thing.

Within that submerged consciousness, a small will could be heard.

‘Mom!!’

It was a small but absolutely unmissable will.

The children were calling for me!

At that moment, my consciousness arose completely to the surface.

Finally, the surrounding situation began to come into view.

One arm of the blue giant was bitten in my mouth, protruding.

The environment was in complete disarray.

Except for the arm I had bitten, there were no traces left of the blue giant.

And the black reapers huddled together, shaking in a corner.

It was a completely different scene from what I expected.

What on earth happened?

Did the corpse move on its own?

Or did I get swept away by this corpse?

I swallowed the blue giant’s remaining arm and returned the black corpse into the unchanging sphere.

Having opened my eyes in Yerin’s embrace, I looked up at the unchanging sphere with a serious expression.

*

In the deep garden where the mini reapers had all left, a snowfield lay in silence.

The soft light cascading from the garden’s sky reflected on the white shaved ice, displaying a beautiful spectacle of light, but there were no mini reapers to admire that scene.

Normally, mini reapers would line up long to eat sugar-coated fruits, but today, there was no trace of that at all.

There were no sad struggles of hamsters trying not to lose their sugar-coated fruits, nor had the flamingos and golden reapers who used to torment them been seen for a long time.

It was truly a quiet snowfield.

Against that tranquil backdrop, a new object began to emerge.

A perfect sphere floating above the mini reaper garden.

A mysterious sphere radiating a blue light as if it contained stars, resembling the unchanging sphere but distinctly different.
