Seoul Object Story
Chapter 261: The Blessing of the Stars (8)

In the pale blue-tinged fog, a hazy silhouette was calling out.

“H-How…?”

The man, as if entranced, slowly began walking towards the direction of his sister’s silhouette.

The man’s footprints stretched out towards the direction of the silhouette.

And the man was slowly advancing along those footprints.

It must be a trap.

Having witnessed his sister’s final moments, the man rationally thought this was very suspicious.

My sister was already dead, so it must be a trap.

But no matter how much he repeated this in his mind, the man’s intuition was drawing a different conclusion.

Regardless of the hazy silhouette or the identical voice, he felt certain that this was indeed his sister.

So he simply couldn’t stop his feet.

Splash splash.

The sound of walking on squishy mud.

The man slowly walked, retracing the footprints already imprinted in the mud.

And with each step the man took on the ground, the footprints disappeared, revealing smooth earth as if no one had ever stepped there.

As he gradually approached his sister like this, the world was slowly transforming.

It was still an inverted world where butterflies became chrysalises and footprints were left in reverse, but its contents were clearly changing.

The fresh, faint water scent of the fog became the grating smell of rusted metal.

The butterflies that had emitted beautiful blue light changed to look like accessories made from shaved red-rusted metal plates.

The fine mud covering the ground turned into a mire mixed with rotten iron filings.

And the sister he encountered after advancing through the fog was the same.

Though it was a hazy appearance of his sister, rusted metal was exposed in places as if the paint had peeled off a doll.

Moreover, roughly and loosely twisted rusty wires were wrapped around her body.

The man asked his sister several times if she was really his sister, but she continued speaking only what she wanted to say with a lonely smile, as if she couldn’t hear his voice.

As she spoke looking at the sky as if reminiscing, red rust water rolled down from her eyes.

The sister wiped away her tears while forcing a smile, and looked straight at the man as she spoke.

And the sister stretched out both hands as if to push the man away.

But those hands couldn’t reach the man, and just passed through to the other side.

Looking down at her own hands with a bitter expression, the sister said to the man.

As she said this, the sister looked up at the sky from within the deep fog.

Strangely, the sunlight was piercing through this thick fog and striking the ground.

When the attached human started looking up at the sunlight coming down from the sky, the Purple Reaper was instead looking at the ground with great tension.

A terrifying presence was emanating from beneath the squishy ground mixed with red-rusted iron filings.

Before entering the fog, it had some confidence in fighting even the blue light giant, but not now.

It’s strong!

It seemed so strong that the Purple Reaper wasn’t confident in fighting properly while protecting its attached human.

Mom!

Mom!!

The Purple Reaper raised its antenna straight up, desperately calling for Mom.

But perhaps because of the fog, the Purple Reaper’s will couldn’t reach the Gray Reaper at all.

Mom!!!

As the giant’s presence drew ever closer, the Purple Reaper emitted purple light from its entire body to send a signal, but what responded was not the Gray Reaper but the blue giant.

Boom boom boom.

Numerous wires rising from the ground, and many beings entangled in the wires began to be sucked into the rusty mire.

The attached human’s sister wore a very surprised expression as she was dragged away by the wires.

And she shouted at the man to run away quickly.

She cried out that the monster had god-like power.

That no weapon on Earth, no Object, could possibly face it.

!

But even before his sister shouted, the man had sensed the ominous atmosphere and started being on guard.

And as he watched his sister being dragged into the ground, he prayed in a small voice that they would meet again someday.

Just as the man took his stance, a giant so large it seemed to touch the sky rose from the ground.

A giant glowing blue.

The form of the giant, which had only been visible to beings with a rank like the Purple Reaper, was now visible even to the man’s eyes.

Just by looking at it, the surrounding space distorted, and due to that distortion, space was pushed away, causing wind to blow within the fog.

A monster so huge that a single gun could never harm it, distorting space just by looking at it.

Even from the perspective of the man, an ordinary human unable to sense rank, it seemed like an unbeatable monster.

“What on earth is this?”

Moreover, the artificial eye embedded in one of the man’s eyes was showing him the flow of power that others couldn’t see.

The flow of power emanating from the giant’s body looked identical to that of a Chosen One, but the scale was on a completely different dimension.

Its range covered the entire southern Italy!

But even such an incredible monster didn’t seem perfect.

The sunlight pouered down from the sky, the blue light forming the giant’s body scattered as soon as it touched the sunlight, revealing the rusted skin underneath.

Like a vampire that melted when touched by sunlight, as much as the sunlight shone down, the metal rusted, turning into iron filings and scattering.

But because the giant’s size was so enormous, it didn’t look threatening compared to the rate at which it was crumbling.

The giant that shook the world within the fog finally fully emerged from the ground and slowly stood up.

Its form was so huge it seemed to touch the sky, distorting the sense of perspective of everything around it.

And that giant looked down at the Purple Reaper, then swung its massive foot as if kicking a roadside stone.

!

The Purple Reaper gathered all the energy it had accumulated until now and spread a curtain of shadows, but the giant’s kick instantly shattered the curtain.

And the giant’s foot sent the attached human and the Purple Reaper flying like golf balls.

“Ugh.”

The man got up with a low groan.

Though he had been sent flying as if hit by a high-speed train, the man’s condition was better than expected.

Seeing this, the Purple Reaper smiled slightly.

I protected you!

But no sooner had it smiled than red-tinged iron filings poured out of the Purple Reaper’s mouth.

As if it was vomiting blood, the golden firewood seated in the center of its body flickered as if about to go out at any moment, and its purple skin began to change like red-rusted iron.

Shock absorption isn’t working…

And with a very regretful expression, it began to look up at its attached human’s face.

I wanted to keep protecting you.

I wanted to stay together.

The Purple Reaper let out a will that its attached human could never hear, and tried to keep capturing its attached human with its blurring vision.

Late afternoon at Sehee Research Institute, after lunchtime.

When I came out to the backyard with the somewhat anxious-looking Hungry Ghost Reaper, I began to see what I had ordered to be prepared.

An ultra-giant cloud whale!

It was an ultra-giant combined cloud whale made by gathering all the cloud meat handled by the Orange Reapers.

It was a cloud whale for transporting a large number of mini Reapers and Objects.

As I stood in front of the whale and looked down, I could see mini Reapers gathered like grains of rice.

It was all the mini Reapers except those who had gone to find attached humans or those guarding Sehee Research Institute.

The mini Reapers seemed to be enjoying just being gathered together like this, causing a commotion by hugging each other and rolling around.

I projected my will towards these mini Reapers.

Let’s go kill the harmful Objects!

Then the mini Reapers also got excited and projected their will, saying Let’s go!

Somehow it felt like a family picnic with everyone gathered.

An exciting and uplifting atmosphere.

Perhaps because even the house-sized white Hungry Ghost main body and the jelly pig carrying the hospital were gathered, the mini Reapers were in a state of frenzy with anticipation.

But the Hungry Ghost Reaper had an expression that said What strange thing are you up to now?, so I gave an additional explanation.

Recently, some mini Reaper’s senses felt something similar to the energy of the Rainbow Universe.

Nod.

The Hungry Ghost Reaper nodded, seeming to understand my simple explanation.

So we decided to go kill that Object that came from the Rainbow Universe.

Nod. Nod.

As expected, the Hungry Ghost Reaper easily understood my clear explanation.

So if we kill that, your attached Object will be revived.

?

But unfortunately, it couldn’t understand until the end.

Anyway, I ordered it to follow and put it on top of the whale.

The Hungry Ghost Reaper looked puzzled but couldn’t disobey the order and climbed onto the whale’s back with a resigned expression.

And after completing all preparations, I walked over and snuggled into Yerin’s arms.

Yerin, who had been dragged out while working, looked simply happy at the thought of playing hooky.

Well then, let’s go!

As my will spread, the giant whale began to take off.

And I started checking the number of children I had brought.

Mini Reapers huddled together on top of the cloud whale, check.

White Hungry Ghost, jelly pig, and glow-in-the-dark Tyranno contained in the whale’s belly, check.

Hungry Ghost Reaper sitting on top of the whale’s head with a slightly gloomy expression, check.

Sugar flamingos, hamsters, and other Objects released from the mini Reaper garden, check.

Three types of Halo placed on my hand, check.

And the Immutable following slowly behind the whale, check.

And I turned my head to poke Yerin’s cheek, who was hugging me.

Yerin looked puzzled, but when I smiled slightly, Yerin smiled back at me.

The most important part, Yerin, also check.

Perfect.

The beings from the Rainbow Universe weren’t to be taken lightly, so we needed perfect preparation.

So that it would be fine even if we couldn’t spread the mini Reaper garden, couldn’t teleport, or couldn’t summon Halo!

It was like bringing the entire mini Reaper garden on top of the whale.

With these children, I wasn’t afraid of any enemy.

Hehe.
