I Alone Level Up: Ragnarok Chapter 0

A world without gods is nothing but delicious prey!

Elder Gods (外神)

Outer Gods (Outer Gods)

Absolute beings who have created countless universes since ancient times.

Elders!

The Elders, scattered across various dimensions, noticed the disappearance of their master in a distant dimension and their eyes gleamed.

They cared nothing for the death of their kin.

What mattered to them was only the vast mana left in that world!

Power without a master goes to the one who claims it first!

...Thus, the prelude to the 'Elder War' began.

* * *

Roar!

In the gap between dimensions that connect multiple universes.

The Elders' messengers tore through the solid dimensional walls and poured out en masse.

A man stood facing them.

Seong Jin-woo, the fragment of the greatest Radiance and the Shadow Monarch, wrapped in a black aura, opened his mouth.

"Rise."

Roar!

At his words, the millions of soldiers, consisting of angels of light and the Shadow Legion, raised their weapons in unison.

The war soon began.

The invaders from the Outer Universe kept pouring in, no matter how many were killed.

A tense and relentless battle continued for a long time, with no moment to relax.

The rulers, the six-winged angels, paid their respects to Seong Jin-woo.

These were fragments of Radiance, born as messengers of the gods.

At some point, they realized the cruelty of the gods and became godslayers by their own will.

In the distant past.

The 'God' who created this world divided the primal light and darkness into eight parts each, creating the 'Fragments of Radiance' and the 'Monarchs.'

From the moment of their creation, they were bound by a predetermined fate to wage an endless war of mutual destruction.

Over countless eons, many died in this repeated war, including the Fragments of Radiance and the Monarchs, who were the commanders of the war.

However, their vacancies were eventually filled by others.

When a Monarch's spirit was destroyed, the 'Primal Darkness' within it,

and when a Fragment of Radiance died, the 'Primal Light' within it,

sought out new suitable candidates to create new Monarchs and Fragments of Radiance.

To maintain the balance of the war.

But the purpose...

It was only after a long time that they realized it was for the cruel amusement of an absolute being who desired the war to continue indefinitely.

But now, the gods are dead, and the Monarchs are all gone, so the long and arduous war has ended, and peace has come, or so they thought...

Now, they are being invaded by the Elders who have noticed the absence of the gods.

The soldiers of the heavens, led by the rulers, were born from the fruits of the World Tree.

But after the death of the gods, the World Tree gradually stopped bearing fruit.

This meant that reinforcements were impossible.

However, there was one.

The King of Death, the Shadow Monarch.

He and his legion were the only ones who were eternally immortal.

The power of creation may be gone, but death is eternal.

If it weren't for Seong Jin-woo's Shadow Legion, which continues to resurrect, as the rulers said, this war would have been decided in an instant.

With the absolute end of the world.

Seong Jin-woo's legion commander, Igrit, appeared urgently.

"Location?"

"Could it be Earth?"

Seong Jin-woo sighed.

The Earth, which had just regained peace, was once again exposed to danger.

The rulers, watching Seong Jin-woo's reaction, muttered.

Earth was once invaded by the residents of the Chaos Realm.

The rulers, who were the main culprits in that incident, hurriedly made excuses.

The rulers strongly opposed Igrit's claim.

Listening to their heated debate, Seong Jin-woo finally made a decision.

"Ber."

The king of the ants, who was enthusiastically tearing apart the enemies, responded to his call.

"Go to Earth for a bit."

Seong Jin-woo nodded heavily.

"Yes. It seems it's time to break the seal of protection."

Ber's eyes, now wide with anticipation, filled with hope.

"Try to return as quickly as possible."

At his command, Ber immediately turned into a beam of light and flew to Earth.

Seong Jin-woo, who had been silently watching Ber's departure, turned his gaze back to the approaching enemies.

His lips were tightly pressed together.

His eyes burned fiercely.

"Come forth, messengers of the Outer Gods."

The war continued.
