311. Underwater (2)
[Didn’t I ask you not to disturb the order of this world any more?!]
In the pitch-black darkness.
The goddess’s screaming voice makes the son-in-law cry.
[I told you so, please don’t provoke it and bring about chaos! □□□ □□, do you really want to hasten the collapse? Are you really trying to see the end of this world?]
The sharp feeling of resentment contained in that voice is conveyed vividly, as if it were a dagger piercing the skin.
However, Seongjin glared at Justitia without any response.
[If things keep going like that, neither of us will get very good results, right?]
[What? What is that… … ?]
[I’m saying don’t blame others for nothing. If you keep acting like that, do you think your position will be at least a little bit advantageous here?]
[…] … !]
At the unexpectedly strong reaction, the goddess is speechless and opens her mouth blankly.
Grumble!
In the meantime, Seongjin moved Little Demon King No. 2, checked the leech crawling from behind once more, and then continued.
[For now, without further ado, let’s just look at the immediate results. I am the only one in this world who can harm it. Isn’t that right?]
[…] … .]
It seems like it was the perfect answer. As proof of that, the goddess’s fierce momentum suddenly subsided.
Justitia pursed her lips and glared fiercely at Seongjin through her probably gaping eye sockets.
‘also… … .’
Seongjin laughed inwardly after confirming that his guess was correct.
-This world was forced to wake up from its egg before it was ready.
Pangea Chronicle was created by running out of time and randomly cramming together existing game sources.
-In order to make up for the ridiculously weak tone, numerous rules were added in a disorderly manner. In such great chaos, the distortion of the world eventually arose.
A huge pot of spaghetti where source clashes with source and code misaligns.
Perhaps the dark Justitia can be said to be chaos itself, born from errors and growing by eating errors.
The problem was the method Impulse Soft chose to solve it.
Didn’t Dexter say that too?
-There is only one technical way to solve this situation.
-what is that?
-It is an expedient method to grant ‘Code Zero’ authority to the system control AI.
Code zero.
A mysterious authority that is at the highest level in the normal world, also called the realm of God.
-Imagine if an ideal world consisting of only ideas or concepts exists.
Early that morning, I ran to the main palace as if I was possessed.
Seongjin talked with Seonghwang for quite a long time. And he was able to get a glimpse of ‘God’s code’.
-Everything in the world can exist only through designated ideas. But what would you do if something appeared there that absolutely could not be defined by a single idea and whose limits could not be grasped?
A designated idea? I guess it roughly refers to the codes that make up the normal world.
Seongjin, who guessed that, answered appropriately.
-Can’t we just define it as a similar concept or ignore it altogether?
Then Seonghwang scolded Seongjin with stern eyes.
-You’re saying something really dangerous. Have you already forgotten, Mores? What was the result of a book I defined incorrectly the other day?
-uh… … .
You mean that day when you exploded a book in the air and even did a self-harm show?
When Seongjin looked at Seonghwang with a cold expression, he cleared his throat and slightly looked away.
-It is too large to be contained within a border, and its existence is too obvious to ignore. However, if we do not define it somehow, the foundation of the world made up of ideas will collapse in vain.
No, but how do you define something that cannot be defined?
When Seongjin made a puzzled expression, Seonghwang gave the answer easily without any further annoyance.
-Wouldn’t it be better to create a separate concept called ‘things that cannot be defined’?
-Something that is impossible to define… … .
-okay. By pushing it completely outside the boundaries of ideas, the world inside the boundaries can maintain complete stability without ignoring it.
Something that is impossible to define.
God, or the unknown force that moves the world itself.
Naturally, ‘Code Zero’ was bound to remain a mysterious code to engineers. It itself contained the concept of ‘something that cannot be defined’!
-Pangaea Chronicle. The system that manages the normal world was given zero code and gained ‘divine authority’. But why, even with such strong authority, has it been unable to completely resolve the error on its own, increasing chaos?
Then, Seonghwang looked at Seongjin with deepened eyes for a moment, and then asked in a low voice.
-okay. What is the real name of this thing called ‘chaos’?
-… … !
From that question, Seongjin was finally able to understand everything.
Justitia. Or dark Astria. A goddess of chaos with the same name as the goddess borrowed from the classic RPG game ‘Astria Chronicles’.
Impulse Soft not only indiscriminately added the source material of Astria Chronicles to the game, but also committed the atrocity of granting ‘Code Zero’ authority to that lump of error along with ‘Justitia’, which was designated as the system AI!
Ugh… … .
The leech, no, the dark Justitia, is struggling to approach Seongjin with less than half of its body remaining. However, the guy was frightened by Demon King No. 2, who swung at him again, and retreated backwards.
Seongjin, who had been looking at that pitiful figure without much emotion, turned his head back to Justitia in front of him.
[If my guess is correct, you would have expected this result from the beginning.]
Justitia had clearly made this recommendation to Seongjin that day.
-Or would you like to use your unique ID now? □□□ □□. Get rid of everything that bothers you like before.
As if hoping for a collision with ‘chaos’.
[Do you think this is a pointless reprimand? As I said before, all of this is chaos caused purely by your presence. So it makes sense that you have to put it to sleep.]

Unlike the first time, Justitia protested in a calm tone.
[Well, how about that?]
It is probably true that the growth of ‘chaos’ has accelerated slightly with the appearance of Seongjin.
However, it is ultimately a collection of errors that were created along with the Pangea Chronicle.
Moreover, on the day he first encountered it, Seongjin set a fire in ‘Chaos’ that could never be extinguished. That alone would have drastically weakened its power. Because I could no longer cling to Seongjin or obstruct his vision.
Now Seongjin was no longer experiencing graphics problems. Still, the only reason he was sticking to his infant skin was because he still felt uncomfortable revealing his identity to Owen.
[okay. That guy can no longer use his strength like before. But strangely enough, the number of errors in dungeons has increased since then. The system is not correcting errors properly. [It’s as if he’s intentionally encouraging a conflict between me and that.]
[…] … .]
[So don’t go round and round and say what you want to say straight away, Justitia.]
Seongjin now spoke firmly towards the goddess, who was clearly looking frustrated.
[Please completely get rid of that thing that is not good enough for you!]
[…] … !]
Grumble!
As if reflecting Seongjin’s mood, Demon King No. 2’s flames flicker wildly.
Wow… … !
While the leech was frightened and writhed around its body, Goddess Justitia was silent for a while with a stern expression on her face.
How much time has passed like that? With her small sigh, the goddess finally quietly opened her mouth.
[…] Do you know? In a place where even the smallest breath of life is regulated by code, how unusual is it to create and use a new flame? That’s purely because of the code given to you.]
[code?]
[exactly. Apart from having a guest ID, you are assigned a unique code and ID from the beginning. That’s it… … .]
[stop! Enough about this, let’s talk about our transaction.]
Exciting-
Seongjin consciously calmed down something that was beating violently and roughly cut off Justitia’s words.
[I will get rid of that completely. We will immediately wipe out the errors you are neglecting without being able to do anything about it. So, you too, pay the appropriate compensation!]
[…] … .]
Justitia had a shocked expression on her face, but there was no way she could dare refuse the offer when the survival of the world was at stake.
It was actually the leech that reacted violently to Seongjin’s words.
[Whatever you want! Don’t decide things like that on your own! Why should I die obediently?]
No matter what he did, he seemed to think that he had no talent to defeat Demon King No. 2, so he bit his body helplessly and shouted at Seongjin.
[I, I was just born! Someone gave me power, and I just became the rule of this world and acted according to my nature! But why is it my fault?!]
The leech’s argument also had a point.
The one who made the mistake was the game company that didn’t take proper measures, and they probably didn’t want to be born like that from the beginning just because it was a leech.
However, Seongjin just responded with an expressionless expression despite the desperate scream.
[If you stay there anyway, you won’t last long. If this continues, you will completely collapse the Pangea Chronicle, and you too will meet a meaningless end along with the world. What does that mean to you?]
At the same time-
Grumble!
Demon King No. 2 burns even more fiercely and moves towards the leech.
Then, black bloody tears poured down from the gaping eye sockets facing Seongjin.
iced coffee… … !
A soft sigh flows from blood-soaked lips.
[Even so, the brief moment given before destruction is completely mine… … !]
[…] … .]
A being that is bound to be wrong from birth. A being inevitably destined to ruin everything. Suddenly, Seongjin felt deep empathy and compassion for the guy.
However, because of that, Seongjin was able to speak more firmly to the guy.
[I guarantee it. Whatever it is, it’s good for you to just end it here.]
[what… … ?]
And those questions were his last words.
Grumble!
Demon King No. 2 quickly rushed at him, instantly creating a huge flame and engulfing the dark Justitia.
Kyaaaaa!
A terrifying scream echoes through the darkness. The guy struggled like crazy, tearing at his own body, but the flames did not retreat at all and consumed his body step by step.
… … !
The ‘chaos’ covered in dark red flames soon completely disappeared, leaving behind only a handful of black ash.
The enormous errors that had been accumulating disappeared at once, and Pangea Chronicle instantly regained complete stability.
[…] … .]
Seongjin, who had been looking at the remaining ashes for a moment, turned to look at Justitia, who was silent.
[This won’t be the end, right?]
[…] As long as this world lasts, it will not completely disappear but be reborn. Didn’t you tell me? It is already the law that makes up this world, the atmosphere that has dissolved here.]
As Justitia said that, a single tear flowed from her red eye patch. Only you can know whether those are tears of relief or mourning.
[And as long as you remain involved in this world, it will grow rapidly again. So, can you completely leave this world right now?]
However, Seongjin complained and shook his head.
[You need to think carefully, Justitia. Would it be better to ostracize me from this world just because the growth of chaos accelerates a little? Or would it be better to politely ask them to sort it out periodically?]
[…] … .]
[It’s very shameful that they put pressure on me and made nonsense, such as saying that it was because of me that chaos was caused and that I was going to destroy the world. Still, if you see that you’re pulling tricks like that, you’re a pretty smart guy. So, why don’t you show your gratitude to me now and prove it with a proper reward?]
[…] I guess you’ve become more clever than I thought.]
Justitia lowered her head in resignation.
Rather than engaging in a pointless fight, he decided that it would be more advantageous to please Seongjin as quickly as possible.
[Yes, good. What kind of compensation do you want?]
Then Seongjin grinned and raised the corners of his mouth.
[What I want is… … .]
* * *
“… rain!”
… huh?
“… It’s a newbie! Wake! are you okay?”
Seongjin opened his eyes to someone shaking his shoulder roughly. And then she flagged down, facing Owen with his face right in front of her.
Wow, what is it?
Out of shock, my hand reflexively went out.
Wow!
“100 million!”
Owen, who was hit defenseless, rolled around on the floor. Owen immediately stood up and shouted at Seongjin with a face full of resentment.
“No, what! Why are you hitting me again? Even if you worry, it’s a mess!?”
“Uh, sorry.”
Seongjin, who had inadvertently let go, apologized obediently.
I feel a little sorry. I think it’s become a matter of inertia to give a damn to your guy.
