Day 76 in the Labyrinth.
The Medical Angel has returned.
Merino always welcomed the returning members first as usual.
“Yay! Welcome back, Medical Angel!”
Beep beep!
After thanking the Medical for their hard work, I turned on the broadcast.
Pururu—Appearance Pings.
Mysticism—😃
I asked the assistants about the status of Nohkya’s blessing.
It might have weakened because the Medical had just returned from the Ancient Labyrinth.
Mirstin—About the blessing?
Mirstin—I’m with Nohkya now, so I’ll check it out. There’s some living crab in the kitchen.
A little time passed.
Then, a chat came up again.
Mirstin—Seems fine.
Luna-chan—Confirmation done! There’s no problem with the abilities gained from the blessing! >.< “Looks like they've been together. Anyway, thanks for confirming.” The power of the blessing seems to remain unchanged. Well, it was somewhat expected. The previous deity who granted the blessing to Nohkya was also in another dimension. Unlike the blessing that is said to persist permanently unless something particularly interesting happens, a buff that temporarily amplifies power will gradually weaken or cut off if the caster leaves for another dimension. Rize Nova—Oh ho.
Rize Nova—So the statue erected in our Planet Lumina had a strength similar to that of a blessing.
Mysticism—🤔 Psycho Clown statue?
Rize Nova—Yes.
Mirstin—Is there a Psycho Clown statue in Lumina?
Boglebogle—I heard it was set up when we sent a mission last time.
Yumi—I also heard they set up a statue of Gunni.
Mirstin—Whoa.
After that.
As a celebration for the Medical Angel’s return, Merino poured all their sincerity into cooking.
“You worked hard! Eat a lot! And you all eat a lot too!”
Beep!
Jafan!
I’ll enjoy it, beep!
Kyuyang!
So everyone gathered and started the meal.
I chewed my food slowly, silently observing the conversations of the assistants floating in the air.
Yumi—Alice. By the way, when the Dimension Barrier disappears, not only does Earth’s environment deteriorate, but the durability of the planet weakens too. Is that really true?
Boglebogle—The probability is very high. A world without a Dimension Barrier is likely to be an unstable one.
Boglebogle—I think the absence of proper life forms in the old days was largely due to the world’s instability.
Pururu—So that means Earth could become a quick death planet.
Mirstin—That’d make it become our uncle’s planet…
Mysticism—🤔
Boglebogle—It’s not just Earth; everything existing in your dimension is going to become unstable.
Luna-chan—That’s right. So far, we’ve called the Dimension Barrier a protective barrier for Earth, but in essence, it protects everything that belongs to Earth.
Luna-chan—Simply put, Earth is just the center of this dimension.
Luna-chan—To put it easier, Earth is the core of the Dimension Barrier.
Luna-chan—Since the guardian is on Earth, along with various life forms and intelligent beings.
Nod, nod.
I continued my meal, nodding silently.
Yumi—Are stable worlds like Elemenzia or Lumina also protected by the Dimension Barrier?
Luna-chan—No, Elemenzia doesn’t have a Dimension Barrier.
Luna-chan—Recently, Kendra, where the Gauntlet sent monsters, also does not have a Dimension Barrier.
Yumi—No Dimension Barrier? Then how is Elemenzia holding up?
Luna-chan—Just because there’s no Dimension Barrier doesn’t mean the world is unstable. It’s just that the probability of being unstable is higher.
Luna-chan—Plus, they said that the dimension with Earth was unstable when it didn’t have a Dimension Barrier, so if the Dimension Barrier disappears, it’s likely to revert to its original state. It won’t revert immediately, though.
Luna-chan—Lastly, to add one more thing, there is something similar to a Dimension Barrier in Elemenzia.
Pururu—Type normally. You’re all just low-ranked losers.
Rize Nova—Right. Go meet directly and talk.
Rize Nova—No. I’m curious too, so just chat here.
Pururu—Huh?
Yumi—Something similar to the Dimension Barrier? What is that?
Mysticism—🧐
Luna-chan—Instead of the Dimension Barrier, there’s a mist of dimensions that specializes in preventing tracking of world coordinates.
Luna-chan—The mist of dimensions has a slight effect on blocking otherworldly invasions, but it’s not as excellent as the Dimension Barrier. That’s why beings from other dimensions often flow into Elemenzia. They come by chance, not through coordinate tracking.
Luna-chan—The Gauntlet was also a being from another dimension.
Yumi—I see.
Yumi—But wouldn’t it be good to spread the mist of dimensions along with the Dimension Barrier? Like a double protection?
Luna-chan—You have to be careful because there could be unforeseen disasters if the two powers collide. Anyway, the Dimension Barrier that I can spread would get overwhelmed and disappear by the mist of dimensions of Elemenzia!
Luna-chan—For reference, the mist protecting Elemenzia is higher in level than the Dimension Barrier I can spread! >.< Pururu—Hmm. But who spread the mist of dimensions?
Luna-chan—I don’t know. Perhaps it’s been there from the start?
Luna-chan—Ah. And! The mist of dimensions has existed since ancient times, but in the past, due to the weak power of the mist, monsters from other dimensions constantly flowed in.
Luna-chan—I don’t know why the level of the mist of dimensions suddenly increased!
Boglebogle—The Great Sage might have enhanced the mist of dimensions.
Boglebogle—Because the Great Sage was a transcendent being.
Mysticism—😮
Alice’s status window.
I heard recently that it was a blessing bestowed by the Great Sage.
And I had previously claimed that I had never met a transcendent being, but I have to take that back.
The Great Sage was a transcendent being after all.
While I expected a transcendent being would be S-Class or SSS-Class, I didn’t realize the Great Sage had such power and mistakenly judged him not to be a transcendent being.
For reference, I met the Great Sage after I acquired my unique ability, and at that time, the Great Sage was hiding his power.
Of course, I immediately noticed he was S-Class.
Mysticism—😐 Everyone asked a question.
Mysticism—I want to ask a question too! 😠
Pururu—You don’t get a question.
Mysticism—You said the Dimension Barrier also disrupts coordinate tracking.
Luna-chan—Yes. Whether it’s the mist of dimensions or the Dimension Barrier, if those barriers wrap around the world, coordinate tracking becomes nearly impossible. Especially with barriers or mist at the level of Earth or Elemenzia.
Mysticism—So Sage, how did you find Earth? 🤔
Luna-chan—No matter how hard a world is to track, a talented Dimension Magician like me can specify coordinates! >.< Mysticism—😮 Amazing!
Rize Nova—Why did such a talented Dimension Magician lose their memory while crossing worlds?
Pururu—LOL.
Mirstin—Even monkeys fall from trees.
Yumi—Hmm.
Yumi—I’ll ask one more question.
Pururu—Wow, so many questions. Why didn’t you ask yesterday?
Yumi—Why do beings from other dimensions try to occupy a world where the Dimension Barrier has collapsed?
Pururu—That’s true. How foolish.
Luna-chan—There are several reasons.
Luna-chan—To feast on high-quality souls.
Luna-chan—Or to open new barriers like Dimension Barriers or mists after occupying it.
Luna-chan—It won’t transform into an environment uninhabitable for living beings immediately.
Luna-chan—Some beings from another dimension might have used Earth’s dimension as a temporary base a long time ago. And they might have left something important here for safekeeping.
Luna-chan—So the reason some beings from other dimensions continuously attempt to invade is probably to retrieve something they left behind.
Luna-chan—Due to the sudden appearance of Nohkya, the Dimension Barrier formed, making it impossible for them to access Earth’s dimension anymore.
Luna-chan—There will be many other reasons too.
Boglebogle—Earth is overflowing with high-quality souls, and it’s only natural that many would come lightly to invade since the coordinates are too easily exposed.
Boglebogle—Once the Dimension Barrier disappears, that type will increase like crazy.
Luna-chan—In any case!
Luna-chan—Considering the points I mentioned today, executing the Great Migration Plan will save as many lives as possible.
Luna-chan—If what we speculate is true and the durability of this world weakens, even a few powerful beings from other dimensions could destroy the planet easily if they rampage a little. Of course, it’ll hold up at first, but as time passes, the world will become increasingly unstable.
Reading the assistants’ chats.
I was thinking about the Great Migration Plan using the Sky Ark in my head.
Saint Maria said she would only allow souls that aren’t evil to board the Sky Ark after identifying them.
I heard she doesn’t verify every soul individually.
It’s almost impossible to check all these countless souls individually. There wouldn’t even be time to do so while rescuing.
Maria mentioned she would look down at the earth from the ark.
She stated that if the souls don’t have any other colors mixed in and aren’t completely stained black, she would take them all along.
Souls stained with pure darkness have no chance of regeneration.
This is, of course, based on Maria’s criteria.
And I gave it some thought.
Since the ark can also take in corpses, I think it’s right to load dead people as long as they aren’t evil.
Because I can send a Medical Angel to resurrect them later.
Of course, corpses will be absorbed last.
Also, they said that utilizing the ark requires immense magic power…
So I guess I’ll send the Blood Jellyfish Princess.
Her blood is made of magic power, and if she drinks as much blood as Jafan emits, she shouldn’t run out of magic power.

After finishing the meal.
While doing some body exercise for digestion and organizing my thoughts, it happened.
Mirstin—Something’s weird!!!
Mirstin—One coin is now 10,500 won!!!
Pururu—What the hell happened overnight. Damn it.
Yumi—Ugh.
Mysticism—😱
Boglebogle—Already?
Rize Nova—That’s proof that the world is becoming increasingly unstable.
A chat regarding changes in coin prices appeared.
It was sooner than expected, but I had predicted there would be changes soon.
As the world began to enter the path of chaos and destruction, it’s only natural that trust in currency would disappear when the social system crumbles.
In other words, the value of greed encoded in the currency would naturally devalue.
The value of tangible assets like goods or food will rise.
Although there aren’t glaring signs of change in Earth’s society yet, the Ancient Labyrinth might have adjusted the exchange rate quickly after assessing the situation on Earth.
Luna-chan—From now on, the price of coins will continue to rise.
Luna-chan—Because the desires encoded in the circulating currency on Earth will diminish.
Pururu—So, now’s the peak, huh?
Mirstin—I need to sell all my company shares.
Mirstin—And also sell all real estate, stocks, and coins.
Mirstin—I need to hold on to jewels and gold. I heard I can use them in Elemenzia.
Mirstin—Quickly dispose of yachts and private jets.
Mirstin—Hmm. Will their value rise?
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1ZjNYQjBjVTk1ZHJLM2dnQllWbzBLcEUvTmtoWHJOemduWlBETkt2cVJnMw
Mirstin—Oh?
Mirstin—Art pieces, watches, wine, luxury goods can instantaneously convert to coins! So there’s no need to convert to currency!!
Pururu—Really? Maybe it’s because they’re small in size?
Pururu—Must be a diamond-grade privilege.
Boglebogle—Wasn’t it always the case that most items containing desires could be converted? I’ve always charged coins with treasures.
Boglebogle—Like gold and such.
Yumi—It’s also possible to charge in Earth with gold or jewels. I checked it out recently.
Pururu—Not those, but originally luxury goods and art pieces couldn’t be charged.
Pururu—So that means those are really a diamond privilege.
Mysticism—🤔 How do you know, Pururu? You don’t have luxury goods or art pieces.
Pururu—I have one luxury bag.
Mysticism—😮 A pearl necklace on a pig’s neck!
Pururu—Shut up!
Pururu—Anyway, I tried again now with the luxury bag, but it couldn’t be converted. It seems like only diamond grade and above can do that.
Mirstin—But the value is assessed really low.
Mirstin—I put in a luxury watch worth 200 million, but only got 10,000 coins.
Mirstin—The 2.5 billion painting also gave only 110,000 coins.
Mysticism—🧐 Isn’t that quite generous?
Mysticism—Luxury prices are often inflated. 😠
Yumi—Still, it’s true that these items contain a level of desire equivalent to those values.
Pururu—Uh-huh. The low assessment of desires now seems to be an effect of the Dimension Barrier.
Mirstin—For now, I’ll throw everything in my house.
Mirstin—These should be disposed of now. They’ll be useless once Earth falls.
Yumi—Certainly, the desires contained in those items will vanish the quickest. Even if you try to sell them, it’ll be hard to find buyers, so putting them in when the Ancient Labyrinth gives them a high value seems like a good idea.
Mirstin—If I put my mind to it, I could sell some items quickly. But there’s no time to care about these things. I need to deal with so much more that must be sold.
Mirstin—For now, please receive coins.
Mirstin—Later, I’ll make charge all the items in my parents’ house.
With Hwang Mir’s chat concluding.
