Divine (2)
Auterica dimension.
The Roselia Grand Shrine, located in a holy place in the middle of the Ion Continent.
“Hello, Saint.”
“You’ve worked hard today, Your Eminence. How are you, Saint?”
“You’re still the same. There’s definitely nothing wrong with you… I don’t know why you won’t open your eyes.”
The two people who met in front of a lodging in that intimate place walked into the room.
The interior is decorated with a neat and elegant interior.
Inside, on a large bed, a man was sleeping as if dead.
“Ha, today is exactly a week, right?”
“Yes, it has already become like that.”
Saint Riesta approached the bedside and sighed as she caressed the man’s face.
Through his hand flowed a brighter platinum light than any priest in the church, but the man lying with his eyes closed—Saint Heinrich—still did not move an inch.
‘What on earth is going on···.’
It was around an evening a week ago that I realized the ideal.
Heinrich has been busy lately, traveling between different worlds and preparing for the war with the Immortal King.
He fell into a deep sleep without any warning.
At first, I didn’t think much of it.
I just felt like all the accumulated fatigue had come rushing out at once.
But as the three or four days passed, even the main church could not help but feel a sense of crisis.
“Could it be that the Immortal King is using some kind of trick?”
“This is the Roselia Grand Shrine, located in the center of the Holy Land. And I can’t feel any dark magic, curses, or any other auras…”
“You never know. The Immortal King of that time even had a history of invading the Great Hall without permission.”
“Hmm, I can’t deny it. Then shall we proceed with a more detailed examination?”
She paused as she poured out her worries at the words of the Archbishop, who was in charge of the ward at the Rosellia Shrine, a place with a great reputation even outside the city.
Then he let out a deep sigh and slowly shook his head.
“···No, no. Let’s just trust and wait a little longer. If the saint is doing something, our intervention could be a hindrance.”
Actually, I already knew that it wasn’t something to worry about.
If there was a really serious problem with the saint, there was no way she, the person closest to him, would not notice.
‘But what can I do if I’m still worried?’
But it was inevitable that reason and emotion were different.
This is especially true since it was not long after the death of the former Pope, who was like his only family member.
Riesta, sitting on the chair next to the bed, held Heinrich’s hands tightly with both of hers, placed her forehead against his, and closed her eyes.
‘Isn’t it really a big problem? Please wake up quickly and safely. Don’t worry me too much.’
A saint holding the hand of a saint and praying silently.
The archbishop who was following him also closed his eyes and recited a prayer.
However, no matter how much care was given, a being as great as a saint could not remain here forever.
Finally, she looked at Heinrich’s face once more and forced herself to take unsteady steps before leaving the place.
Woof—
How long has it been since Riesta returned?
A very subtle but significant change began to take place inside Heinrich, who had been sleeping quietly.
***
As this work was being carried out, Heinrich, Hans, and the other avatars who held the seeds of divinity fell silent all at once.
‘I thought it would be over quickly since it was a quick procedure, but it’s taking longer than I thought.’
Fortunately, the avatars that did not possess divinity could continue to operate.
Well, even so, the most I could do was stay in my residence and not come out, almost like in hibernation.
‘If those weak guys just fall down anywhere, they’ll most likely die.’
I didn’t expect it to take this long, as I didn’t intend to completely fuse all the divinities from the first attempt.
Because he knew better than anyone that he was not yet qualified or prepared to unite the seeds that had been born in different environments and had solidified into one.
‘If I can breathe a little easier now, I’ll be able to grow more healthily later.’
What he was doing was laying the foundation for the seeds of divinity to bloom properly.
To open a path between the divinities that were previously disconnected, so that they can be stimulated by each other.
So, to minimize the imperfections caused by the limitations of avatars.
Gulp—
‘hmm?’
I had a strange feeling, as blood had been flowing out of my nose and mouth for some time.
As the seeds began to react, the burden on the main body at their center gradually passed the critical point.
‘Not yet. Just a little more···.’
But the movement of the seeds that had been reacting since a while ago was unusual enough to make it difficult to stop now.
In particular, the divinity of the main body located in the center was shaking violently as if something inside would wake up at any moment.
‘It’s almost done. Just a little more!’
I could sense it instinctively.
If you miss this opportunity now, you never know when you’ll get another chance like this.
I could never just let it go.
The moment when I desperately held onto my sanity, relying on the “Great Spirit” with that kind of mind.
“Ugh!”
Blood poured out from his throat like a waterfall.
At the same time, something that had been dormant deep inside me suddenly burst open, and an unknown sense of omnipotence began to sweep through my body and rise to the top of my head.

《Fulfill the conditions to unlock your potential. Acquire the special skill “Frail Divinity.”》
I didn’t have time to pay attention to the system text that appeared before my eyes.
The sense of omnipotence that surged from the center of the head—the Baihui point—pierced through the curtain blocking the way ahead and stretched out into the high sky, into the vast universe, and into the entire dimension that encompassed the world.
‘iced coffee.’
An enlightenment that penetrates the entire soul.
Is this what is meant by omniscience?
All the principles and laws of the world came into view at a glance, and the complex flow of fate and cause and effect could be grasped as if breathing.
And thanks to that, I was able to find out.
That this moment, in its present state of extreme imperfection, will not last long.
That as soon as that time ends, all enlightenment will disappear like an illusion.
‘There is not much time left.’
With all sorts of truths flowing and jumbled in my head.
I thought about how I could make the most of this situation.
Now we are closer to the battery than ever before.
What more can he do?
What is the most urgent matter that needs to be addressed?
‘Beoncheonhoeju.’
The endlessly expanded consciousness ascended through the causal chain that the bastard left behind in the world.
One’s own enemy and mortal enemy that must be destroyed at all costs.
Simply finding out about the guy didn’t mean much.
It was important to properly record the information obtained in this way so that it could be checked even after the current state of awakening ended.
‘···What is this?’
Fortunately, the materials needed for this were already on hand.
To be more precise···.
As if it was a predetermined fate, it was in his hands from the beginning.
‘The fruit of myth.’
The consciousness that was scanning the cause and effect of the world stopped at one point.
A trait that Heinrich acquired after encountering the ‘Fruit of Myth’ in the Pantheon, and which had been marked with a question mark until then.
Evidence of a miracle born under the influence of divinities originating from countless dimensions.
“Records of Myths”
It had a strong presence and was grabbing my consciousness.
I delved into it as if I was possessed.
‘Was this the key?’
The deeper I went, the more fragments of the world passed by around me.
At the same time, I could also figure out what this thing was.
This was literally a record of the history of the world.
A story about gods of various dimensions and the worlds they rule.
‘Wait a minute, could this be the Akasha system···.’
At that point, the consciousness that had come into contact with the truth instinctively came up with the answer.
The Akasha system encompassing all dimensions including Earth.
This “Mythical Record” was nothing more than a terminal connecting it to the Akashic Records in which it was written.
Although its capacity was limited, the things it could do were endless.
Perhaps even systems that were considered absolute laws could be bypassed.
‘He was making something like this. What on earth is that guy, Buncheonhoeju…’
At that moment.
Familiar scenes began to appear on the countless stages passing by.
A sight so familiar to me.
‘earth?’
The United States, China, Japan, Romania… and even Korea and other countries.
Scenes from different places and time periods were jumbled together.
‘Hey, wait a minute, something seems strange?’
But thanks to my expanded consciousness, I could soon see that the world… the ‘worlds’ were not all the Earth I knew.
The past that became the stem was clearly one.
But at some point, the world began to branch out into many directions and soon each began to branch out in its own direction.
The Earth I know is just one of them.
‘2nd millennium AD.’
At a time when the strange phenomenon known as ‘otherworld transmission’ occurred on Earth, where no mysteries existed.
That moment was the singular point of division of this world.
And as I calmly observed the world, I soon became aware of who was at the center of the phenomenon.
‘Returner. Returner.’
It wasn’t just a simple parallel world.
Karma that has not been resolved and causality that is entangled in a mess.
This was a phenomenon that could not have occurred without someone rewinding a world over and over again.
‘Damn, how many times have I turned back time?’
Naturally, I was able to figure out the identity of the dream I had been having.
By coming into contact with the Akashic Records through the Fruit of Myth, you will experience remnants of the previous world in the form of dreams.
That is to say, they were all worlds that I had actually experienced once… that I had to experience.
‘······.’
I watched the world flowing quietly.
The smiles of my parents that I saw in my dream lingered in my mind.
There were moments when I was living an ordinary college life, and moments when I entered society early as a freelance video editor.
And also, themselves in the countless times that pass by now.
‘for a moment.’
Then suddenly, a thought struck my mind.
‘If only all of those things had actually happened…’
Countless world lines of Earth passed by all around.
Earths in a similar time zone to the present, which seem similar in many ways but have many differences.
But the moment that world line reached the ‘end’ at the same time.
A scene that was exactly the same as before was waiting for me.
[■■■■■—!]
The end of countless divided worlds.
I met the gazes of countless eyes that filled the skies of the Earth.
***
A pure white space where nothing exists.
The monk Byeoncheonhoeju, who had been quietly closing his eyes, suddenly opened them.
‘Someone has made contact with the world line. It doesn’t seem like they’ve properly reached the realm of the Divine Seat yet…’
I could feel it instinctively.
Even though he was blind and deaf and chained all over due to the law of cause and effect, he was the closest thing to a ‘god of the Earth’ who had blossomed into divinity on this Earth.
“Are you really the enemy?”
As of now, that was the most likely option.
In all the countless Earths we have walked through, no being has ever achieved complete divinity.
If there is any possibility, the only antagonist would be the variable itself of this timeline.
I don’t know if it’s a Hahoe mask, a phantom, or a saint from another world.
“···Ha! You finally made it this far.”
As he turns back time and becomes stronger, the opponents who block his way also become stronger.
As he struggles, the accumulated karma is passed on to his opponent in its entirety the moment he returns.
Although there had been many instances of the seeds of divinity being conceived, this was the first time that they had reached the stage of sprouting.
It will be a tough opponent for him, as he cannot use his full power due to the limitations of causality.
‘No, it’s still okay. That’s because the grand plan is progressing more smoothly than any other episode.’
It is true that many plans have gone awry due to unexpected variables.
I never thought that even though I had considered all possible scenarios and prepared the ‘most perfect’ response in advance, I would suffer such great damage.
But considering that, and having prepared thoroughly, the overall situation wasn’t that bad.
‘This time, I’m going to end it for sure.’
Even continuing to turn back time was gradually reaching its limit.
No matter how much energy he extracted from other dimensions and how many lives he sacrificed, in the end he was the one who had to bear the brunt of it all.
If he hadn’t been an angel of divine nature, he wouldn’t have come this far.
‘If you make contact with the world line… you will know the whole truth.’
Then, you will come face to face with the ‘eyes’ that were the reason you had to do this.
“I wonder what choice you will make now that you know the truth. I am truly looking forward to it.”
He quietly hummed the song of the Heavenly King, closed his eyes again, and surrendered himself to the flow of the world.
The chains that had bound and restricted his soul, body, and divinity were slowly shaking.
Now, really, there isn’t much left.
