My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 290

〈 Different Place at the Same Time (1) 〉

Outerica where most of the alter egos are active.

Kang Hwan-gye is in a dimension that he just entered.

And all the way to the central base district where the main body is located.

There were so many things I felt while living in different worlds at the same time in multiple bodies.

However, among the elements that I was able to experience, if I had to pick just one impressive point, there was one that I could have chosen without hesitation.

...It was ‘jet lag’.

‘In a way, it’s only natural. I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the Earth side lately...’

The time difference is a whopping ten times.

The differences between the dimensions were never easy.

Even if I spent just three days on Earth, about a month would pass by in this world, so it was something that could not be helped.

Because of this, the time that passed on Earth could be seen as short compared to the scale of the events experienced, but if we were to consider other worlds, it was not particularly so.

A sacred place located in the center of the Aeon continent.

“Are you here, saint? “You came back a little early this time.”

“Ah, Lord Rairin. Thank you for your hard work today.”

Heinrich, who had just passed the main gate and entered the Great Hall of Roselia, looked back at the blue-haired woman who greeted him.

She was a member of the Bright Guardian Holy Knights, which he also once belonged to, and was an elite holy knight in charge of protecting the interior of the Roselia Grand Temple among the many knights of the main church.

She seemed to be passing by nearby, and as if she had some business to do with him, she approached him with a restrained step and spoke politely.

“The saint checked a few times a little while ago to see if the saint had returned. I guess he had some business to do...”

“Ah, I guess I came at the right time. “Thank you for telling me, Lord Lyrin.”

“No, saint. “Then I will go again.”

“Yes, good luck.”

After conveying the business like that, she bowed her head and turned her body in an angled motion again.

She was the gunner when he was first assigned to the main temple, and because of the relationship from that time, he still feels more comfortable with her than others.

Because he was a case of exceptionally rapid growth compared to his position, the people he became close friends with were a bit rare.

‘Come to think of it, it was Lairin who first told me that there was one of the immortal king’s fragments inside the great temple.’

Of course, that was one of the procedures included in security work, but it was also true that it was helpful in his subsequent actions.

Heinrich burst into laughter at that and shrugged his shoulders as he walked back inside the main temple.

‘Anyway, Riesta said she was looking for me. Are you going to ask about the Earth again this time? Well, since we went back and forth a few times, I guess I guessed that he would come around this time.’

Of course, he did not go to Earth without permission from the main church.

Even if the recent end to the White Giant incident has given us some freedom, wouldn’t a saint and warrior, a symbol of the church’s power, be able to leave his position without permission?

‘So I just spoke honestly here.’

I’m going to take some time off for a while and go visit a different world.

‘Of course, that too was packaged with God’s grace.’

In any case, even the feat of surpassing the level of fanatics was nothing before the glory of the gods.

Even so, after Hesperon and Isea were revealed to be from another world, the saint became curious and was conducting research on other worlds.

‘I guess I’ll have to talk to Ise-ah separately soon.’

Now, there is not much time left until she is scheduled to return.

Roughly speaking, wouldn’t you think it was right after the decisive battle with the Immortal King?

If she found out the truth after she returned to Earth, she might feel betrayed, so it seemed like it would be better to at least say it in advance this time.

‘If we do that, we will be able to continue our cooperative relationship on Earth in the future.’

Because of the ties she had left behind in Outerica, she had poured all her karma into returning.

Heinrich, who will become a channel of communication between dimensions for her with so much affection, will be like a shower on dry land.

‘Now, I think Ise-ah can overcome the wall if she has some kind of opportunity. The more power you have at that level, the better.’

While she’s here, she’ll be able to send greetings to her family on Earth, and she’ll be able to continue indirect communication with Riley after she returns, so it’s good for her.

But it wasn’t like there weren’t any concerns at all.

‘We have to somehow hide the fact that Hahoetal and the Immortal King are the same person.’

A villain who was a demon lord in another world returns to Earth and is now active as a dark hero?

Afterwards, I suffered from the pain of naming and groaned for a long time.

Then, suddenly feeling like everything was meaningless, he sighed.

“Eh, I think ‘Titan’ would be better! Feel like a small giant. Now that I think about it, I’m a dwarf too, so for something this size, it’s not that bad to name it after a god...”

The moment Howard, who had roughly decided on a name, muttered to himself.

Roaring—

A strand of fire shot out from the brazier on the side, flickering wildly and wrapping around him.

And right after the flames disappeared, a notification window with several lines appeared in front of him.

《Titans are looking down on you》

《The object grows by achieving the conditions. The special skill “Song of Fire and Metal” evolves into “Facilitator of Fire and Metal.”

It was something I had experienced once before.

“This... “Blessing of the hearth?”

It is said to be an expression of interest when something meaningful is made in front of a furnace or when a craftsman whom God likes grows beyond the wall.

‘That means this too...’

Apparently, God liked it too.

This new invention, which was named after him, never existed before.

***

Syaaaa—

The sound of waves crashing softly rang out.

A beach with nice water and fresh air, where even the slightly salty salt in the air makes you feel unique.

“Mmm!”

The sound of someone using a dragon came from a hiding place inside the cliff of that resort-like place.

“Do this like this....”

The main character, whose speech was so childish and could not pronounce properly, had a very young appearance, just like his own voice.

A cute six- or seven-year-old boy with flowing blonde hair, shining golden eyes, soft and smooth skin, and plump cheeks.

It was Horus, the last gold dragon hatchling left on Outerica.

He stood on a chair in a magic lab lined with all kinds of amazing equipment, grabbed something on the table, and groaned for a while...

“That’s it!”

Soon, they raised their hands and cheered as if they were satisfied.

And then—.

“Hoo what is that?”

“Huh?!”

He flinched at the sudden, drawn-out voice, then looked back with both hands raised and smiled brightly.

As he approached, behind him was the Gold Clan’s Elder Dragon, Shurihatgen, with his half-closed gaze turned towards him.

“Hehehe....”

“...Huh, it’s not an ordinary item. “Where did that come from?”

The old dragon looked at Horus happily for a moment, then his eyes turned to the object in front of him.

His body was in a state of hibernation as he held on to his dying life, but it had an unusual energy that was recognizable even in that state.

“This... is the work of a dwarf. Not quite. It’s very well made. Was it created with enchantment in mind from the beginning?”

As he examined the item, his tired expression slowly filled with surprise.

“Huh, it’s not just about being knowledgeable about magic at this level. Unless you have at least the knowledge of an archmage, it would be impossible.”

That was quite surprising.

In the first place, the dwarves, a pathetic race, pride themselves on creating items that surpass magic tools solely through manufacturing.

It was not very common to ‘collaborate’ with the enchanter’s additional processing in mind from the design stage, as it might be just adding enchantments to a created object.

What’s more, the level of knowledge that underlies it is at the level of an archmage?

‘Did this child enchant it? ...This is great too. I never would have thought it had already reached this level. It was very well harmonized, as if it had been put together from scratch. At this point, you could say it was made by one person from scratch.’

He glanced at Horus with a new gaze and slowly admired the object again.

A sleek design dominated by subtle black metal and drawing elegant curves.

The left arm part was a style of armor that even he, who had lived for an incredible amount of years, had never seen before.
