Episode 296
Darkness (3)
The universe is wide and vast.
It is still constantly expanding, and even at this moment, some universes may be disappearing or being born.
A place with infinite possibilities and mystery. That was the universe.
Even in such a universe, there was the most mysterious and powerful force: the miracle of the beginning.
The beginning and end of all concepts that exist in the universe.
Talents that must have existed in the beginning but cannot be found now. Each one of them was a miracle with infinite potential.
However, it is one of the miracles of the beginning.
<Birth> was special even compared to other miracles of the beginning. Strictly speaking, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the remaining miracles of the beginning were derived from <Birth>.
The differentiation and appropriate specialization in <Birth> could be said to be other miracles of the beginning. In other words, it meant that <Birth>, if manipulated well, could be used like all other primordial miracles.
If you look at it this way, <Birth> could be said to be the strongest talent that could not be compared to other miracles of the beginning, but the reality was not like that.
<Birth> had the worst penalty that the rest of the talent did not have. The ‘total amount’ of miracles that could be realized immediately was set.
For example, if the total amount of miracles that can be realized with <Birth> is 100, the more <Birth> is used, the less 100 becomes.
100… 90… 50… … In the end, it is 0. If that happens, <Birth> becomes an empty shell. No miracle will be possible. Of course, this ‘total amount’ cannot be recharged by any means.
In other words, the talent called <Birth> was a consumable talent. It was a powerful but limited number of miracles that could manifest any phenomenon or object as long as one had talent.
But unfortunately, Hae-jun had no talent. That too was hopelessly absent.
Although <Birth> could realize anything, Haejun had clear limitations. He could not even revive the extent of the ‘real universe’, so he could only supply souls. Even this was not very efficient, so it consumed a total of 20.
And a total of 50 was consumed to move from the ‘real universe’ to the ‘copy universe’, and more than 10 <Birth> were consumed to cause a cataclysm on Earth.
The amount of <Birth> remaining is now less than 20. However, <Birth> had to be consumed for the awakening of the transcendental god that will take place from now on. The rest were precious resources that could not be wasted. It was the last bastion to subjugate Nyarlathotep.
‘Just a little more.’
The notice was not far away. Hae-jun from ‘The Real Universe’ gathered his strength and proceeded with the awakening of transcendental god. <Birth> appeared in Hae-joon’s hands.
* * * * * *
“… … .”
There was no time to do anything.
Hae-joon’s hand pierced his heart, and the mana that filled his heart flowed through his hand. The entire series of actions proceeded smoothly, as if watching a movie.
The frozen state began to move when Hae-joon’s body, with its chest pierced, fell to the ground and made a loud sound.
“… … you!”
Do-do screamed and rushed towards Hae-joon. Countless stabs were fired at Hae-joon with a speed that the eye could not follow.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
However, all those attacks were blocked by the wall. Hae-joon’s barrier was even thicker than before.
“It’s no use. “Transcendental transformation is already in progress.”
Hae-joon smiled indifferently. The energy of the outer universe received from Nyala was being digested smoothly, and as the awakening of the transcendental god progressed, his abilities were rapidly increasing.
No matter how hard Jin Jeong-do tries, breaking through this barrier is a long way off… … .
“What?!”
Hae-joon, who was leisurely looking at the wall, suddenly tilted his head back as much as possible.
Sigh!
The barrier was torn like a piece of paper, and a spear of the same size grazed Haejun’s cheek. Bright red blood splashed into the air.
Embarrassed, Hae-joon spread three more barriers, but this time, Jeong-do’s spear cut through the barriers and broke through. Hae-joon managed to twist his body to avoid the spear blade aimed at the nape of his neck.
‘how?’
It wasn’t an attack using dispel or time rewind like before. Just an ordinary stab. It’s not an attack that can be overcome… … .
Sigh!
Hae-joon unfolded the barrier once again, and without fail, the spear blade broke through. He twisted his body, but this time he was unable to completely avoid the attack.
Sigh!
The blade of the spear pierced Haejun’s shoulder. Then, I tried to rotate his spear in the same position as it was in, in order to blow away his body.
“Tsk!”
Hae-joon, sensing the situation, forcibly twisted his body. The place where the spear was stuck was torn and spewed out bright red blood. The wound was so severe that he could no longer use one of his arms.
“Whoa.”
However, unlike the fatal wound, the light of embarrassment had disappeared from Hae-joon’s eyes. Although he gave up one of his arms, he figured out the principle of this phenomenon.
“after. That’s amazing. “I never thought there would be another miracle from the beginning.”
It’s definitely true. I was confident because I was the one who had <Birth>.
Currently, Jinjeongdo also owns <Annihilation>. It’s so familiar that it can erase the energy of the outer universe!
‘That’s not good.’
This is why I didn’t know that it would be difficult to stay healthy, contrary to the original plan. What if I had completely become a transcendent god? Since the energy of the outer universe was useless, it was difficult to defeat Jinjeongdo with simple force.
Hae-joon sighed inwardly. I can’t help it. He tried to save as much as possible… … .
“… … I’ll take revenge. “Don’t miss it!”
Jeong Do vented his anger and stabbed the spear at Hae Joon. The barrier, which was repeated several times, was deployed again, and Jeong-do also breathed the energy of <annihilation> into the tip of the spear.
Kang!
But this time the results were different. The window was completely blocked, just like the first time. Hae-jun consumed a little bit of <Birth> to neutralize a certain amount of <Extinction>.
“Tsk… … !”
“… … It was unexpected. “It wouldn’t be good to wait any longer.”
Hae-joon stretched out his injured arm. Then, a large crack was created behind the door with a crackling sound. A huge gravitational force emerged from the crack and began to pull the island towards it.
“It’s deportation. Did I tell you? As of now, I have no intention of causing harm. You have to overcome a little more hurt.”
“shut up! “I’ll kill you right now!”
“Don’t be too hasty. Because we will meet again soon. I can’t give you that much time. “Even if I wanted to give it to you, Nyala couldn’t.”
Kwazijic.
Jeong Do used the Cheongeunchu technique to drive both legs into the ground, but it was meaningless. The ground broke apart and began to pull further and further.

“From now on, the erosion of Nyala will begin on the Earth. The invasion from outer space will begin in earnest, and everything you hold dear will be destroyed or killed. “I hope you can overcome that pain.”
“I’ll kill you before that happens!”
“you’re right. You are aware of this correctly. “If we want to prevent that tragedy, there is only one way.”
Hae-joon smiled darkly.
“The only way is to defeat me and Nyala. But is that possible now that there is no agent? “The destruction of the Earth is inevitable.”
And Jeongdo will resist that coming destruction to the end. You will suffer as you lose your loved ones. You might want to let go of everything in a hopeless situation, but… … Eventually, he will rise again. And then it is complete.
“I will see you again the day the vessel becomes perfect.”
Pot!
The degree was completely dragged into the crack. Jeong-do shouted loudly, but Hae-joon just turned his back coldly.
* * * * * *
“Oh my, honey. “You’re hurt more than I thought?”
When Hae-jun returned to the cave, Nyala came up to him with a smile. She lightly touched Hae-joon’s wound and then spoke in a coy tone.
“does not it hurt? I’ll fix it, so a little more about the miracle of the beginning… … .” “If you’re going to talk nonsense, get out of there. “It will heal naturally anyway.”
Even at this moment, the transcendental transformation was in progress. A simple scratch like this would have been erased cleanly if the level was raised. Nyala shook her head and waved her hand once, as if she was not amused by Hae-jun’s attitude. Black energy seeped into Hae-joon’s wound and it was completely healed.
“It’s not fun. Anyway, your business with that little creature is over now, right? “Then shall we begin?”
“… okay.”
“yap!”
Just right.
Nyala snapped her fingers in the air and a black sphere rose from the ground. It was the sphere that sealed Winry. She stroked the sphere with an ecstatic expression.
“ha. How can it be so lovely? Please be patient just a little longer. “I’ll make it easier for you now.”
As Nyala stroked the sphere, its shape slowly began to change. The black sphere gradually contracted and relaxed, and soon turned into a huge cross. And Winry was hanging on that cross, secured with black chains.
“Agent. how is it? They say that the most sacred god in the universe was tied to that cross. “Isn’t this just the right place to tie you up?”
Nyala gently stroked Winry’s cheek. Then Winry woke up and slowly opened her eyes. Her sparkling eyes had already lost their color. She smiled as if Nyala was satisfied.
“Hmm. Progress is smooth. Okay then. finally.”
Ugh.
When Nyala extended her hand towards Winry, golden light escaped from Winry’s body and was absorbed into Nyala’s hand.
Information from the universe managed by the agent was stolen. If I could decipher this information, I could have eroded this universe in an instant in Creeping Chaos. Although the information was encoded in dozens or hundreds of layers, Nyala smiled brightly as if she enjoyed the process of deciphering it.
“also. The agent of this universe is amazing. How was he controlling this much information on his own? ha. I fell in love all over again. “I can’t wait to see her crumpled face!”
“I don’t care about your twisted desires. “How much time does it take to decipher the information?”
“That’s a rude remark. Well, but I’ll take a look. Because I am more generous now than anyone else. Did you ask the time? “I think it will take about four days here, local time.”
“4 days. I get it.”
Hae-joon sat down on a nearby rock and closed his eyes. Erosion will be completed in four days. At that time, no one could stop Nyala.
“I’ll check the contract. We will erase 90% of the human beings that exist in this universe. However, the survival of the entity name authenticity is guaranteed. In return, you pay me the miracle of the beginning, <Birth>. Right?”
“Yes.”
“good. Confirmed. “Then it starts now.”
Sssss.
An intense darkness began to seep out from Nyarlathotep. Hae-joon closed his eyes and Nyala began to burst into laughter.
… …
But they didn’t see it. Winry’s eyes, who were tied to the cross, sparkled for a moment.
In a dark cave, three beings dreamed different dreams and moved toward the end.
