[Man, why did you stop us!?] The sound of snake monsters echoed through the space-time tunnel.
… Do I have to answer this question?
I mean, that's obvious, isn't it?
I don't know if the snake monster felt any sarcasm in my gaze, but he opened his mouth again.
[Thousands of our men have been killed by you! Aren't you going to rest until our race is extinct!?]
Oh? I think I can capture a little bit of information from the words of this snake.
Let's take a look. Anyway, I can get some time so the others rest for a while.
“Then what do you expect? That I let your group of monster friends invade our world and kill our people?”
The snake snorted. [That's not our goal, man! We just want a new place to live! To keep our race's existence! Our goal is not to attack, nor is it to destroy!]
"Maybe. But I can't risk it. Besides, why should I trust you?" I shrugged my shoulders.
The snake was silent. Like not sure how to answer.
At that moment, another voice came from the depths of the space-time tunnel.
[Man, you are very strong. Can you represent the people in your world?]
This time, the one speaking was a dragon. A gigantic white dragon flew from the sea of monsters and advanced towards us.
The dragon exuded a feeling of majesty and vastness like the sky it controlled. Besides, his strength is incredible. It was just below the level of a god!
As soon as his voice sounded, the teachers paled. Even Evelyn's expression turned ugly. As a thirteen-tier practitioner, he could feel the immense and overwhelming power that the dragon exuded.
I also frowned when I saw the dragon. This monster is strong. Moreover, I could sense some monsters as strong as him hiding behind a sea of monsters. It seems like the number of monster powerhouses attacking this time is greater than I thought.
Of course, this is not enough to intimidate me. Although I admit I was a little surprised.
After all, due to the dragon aura, neither Evelyn nor the other teachers were able to speak. In this situation, it seems like only I can answer.
I sighed and used my mana to secretly reduce the effects of the dragon aura within. At the same time, I spoke. “I cannot represent the people of my world, but I assure you that if you want to enter my world, you must get my permission first.”
The dragon nodded, though it was unknown whether he took my words seriously or not.
[Alright then. Can we talk for a second? I don't want to continue this endless bloodshed.]
“Speak.” I said coldly.
[. Man, I hope you can allow our people to cross into your world.]
I smiled mockingly. "Do you think I'll allow it just because you said so?"
[If you don't speak the truth, you will die!] This time the snake was hissing furiously.
I chuckled and looked at the snake with an amused expression. What a funny animal.
And as if the sky itself was crying, everything changed.
Rivers of blood and mountains of bodies appeared on my back and an overwhelming pressure and feeling of danger suppressed the monsters. It was as if death itself had come to take their lives.
Of course, I made sure not to let my killing intent affect the people behind me. I did not want to leave any trauma to them.
The monsters were screeched in fear. Even the white dragon shivered and took a step back instinctively. Then, he looked at me horror.
[You.. Athanatos!] The dragon and the snake shouted simultaneously.
I frowned. Athanatos? If it doesn't mean wrong…
… Immortal, right?
My expression turned serious. I waved my hand, creating a barrier around the person who was with me to stop them from hearing our conversation.
Then, I directed a cold gaze towards the dragon and the snake.
"How do you know? Have you seen someone like me before? ” my word cold.
The dragon snorted. He tried to resist my killing intent, but after I snorted, the pressure on him increased thoroughly to him causing blood to flow out of his mouth.
Finally, he cried in despair. [Athannatos! Why do you want to destroy our race!? Is that not enough for our world!?]
"Shut up!" I further increased the pressure around me and looked at the dragon coldly. “I don't know what's going on in your world, and I don't care. But I hope you can explain how you recognize me. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing all of you!”
The dragon whimpered. His eyes were filled with fear, unwillingness, and terror. As for the snake beside him and the other monsters with the same strength, they had long been silent.
Apparently, they personally experienced terror of my kind. Thus, as soon as they found out that I was an Immortal, their arrogance turned into total fear.
But I soon found out why.
The white dragon began to talk about his world history. It spoke of how several hundred years ago, an Immortal arrived in their world.
At first, the monsters did not notice him. But soon, they discover where their world is being drained slowly. Moreover, their world began to wither, and disaster spread throughout the country.
The powerful monster foresaw the reason for the change. It is the Eternal One. A being with monstrous powers whose sole purpose is to destroy the world.
Thus, the monsters worked together to kill him. Aware that the Immortal was so powerful, the monsters did not dare to underestimate him. They gathered the strongest monsters in their world, the dragon gods and monster rulers, and marched into battle against the Immortal.
The outcome? total defeat.
[.. We didn't even manage to hurt him.] The dragon said in a desperate tone. [thousands of monsters died, but we didn't even manage to hurt him.]
I sighed, I didn't feel strange. Instead, I would feel strange if they managed to defeat him.
Immortals, especially the oldest, were life disasters capable of destroying planets alone. How could they be defeated by the natives of the normal world?
[Luckily, the athanatos were not chasing survivors, so some of the powerhouses in our world managed to survive. Since then, we tried more than once to defeat him, but our only result was the death of the strongest individual in our world.]
[Finally, one day one of the remaining monster gods said that killing athanatos was impossible and we had to leave a glimmer of hope for our descendants. So, he sacrificed himself to create a portal connecting our world with another world. This place is that ray of hope.]
