Episode 297
New miracle (1)
“… … eww.”
I woke up with a short moan. Judging by the soft feel of the back, it seemed like it was probably a bed.
I definitely remember being pushed out by Hae-joon… … . He probably fainted in the aftermath.
Jeongdo raised his heavy body. I checked the ceiling and found that it was a bedroom in the guild. Perhaps someone found him and moved him here… … .
“Are you awake?”
“… Winry?”
“yes. This is Winry. “Winry worked so hard because of you.”
Before he knew it, Black Winry appeared next to him and was staring at him pointedly. Jeong Do remained silent for a moment to gather his thoughts.
… … good. I can roughly guess the situation.
She must have exhausted her strength and returned to a safe place, and then appeared like this when she came out of <Crawling Chaos>.
asked Black Winry, who had a sullen face.
“Isn’t this a crisis?”
“yes. The creation of the universe is also an unprecedented crisis. Ugh it’s frustrating! Why does something like this happen in my class? It’s all because of that unlucky kid! “You created this division because you couldn’t stop a single existence in the outer universe?!”
She poured out words as if she had been waiting for Jeongdo to be asked. She shot it for a while, probably because there was a lot of it. It seemed like it was extremely unfair to see a little tear forming at the corner of her eye.
“… It was my chance to beat that kid and become real. I really collected a lot… “It’s all for naught.”
She was muttering something unintelligible and lowering her head. She wasn’t sure, but she could tell that she wasn’t feeling extremely well.
Jeong Do asked cautiously.
“calm down. All you have to do is drive out the existence of that outer universe. Let’s join forces… .”
“I’ll tell you in advance, I can’t do it. I feel so restricted in her space. “I probably won’t be able to fight as well as you.”
“… driving me crazy.”
<Plus, that ugly space is expanding rapidly. It will probably cover the Earth within a few days and then I won’t be able to help you outside of here.>
“That won’t work.”
Jeong-do stood up from his seat. There was a little pain, but soon I was able to move without any problems. Winry said in a serious tone.
“Mr. Jeongdo. Did he leave anything behind before he was caught? “She must have left something behind because of her personality.”
“Anything left? ah!”
That’s what I remembered from Black Winry’s words. Apparently, right before White Winry was sealed, she left something like telepathy towards herself. For sure… .
“A new miracle is not far away. If you are good enough, you will be able to find it. “I said so.”
“… What are you talking about? that is?”
“I don’t know either.”
I was so busy at the time that I didn’t have time to pay attention. If I were to analyze it with a cool head, maybe.
“Are you talking about a miracle from the beginning of a new era?”
“I guess so. You feel it? But I don’t feel anything… Do you?”
“Same. Why on earth did you say such nonsense? “Can’t you just teach me?”
“well. I guess he thought Nyarlathotep might notice… Ugh it’s frustrating. “I’m just being needlessly cautious.”
Black Winry ruffled her hair nervously. And he said with his eyes flashing towards the degree.
“I’ll leave it to you.”
“what?”
“He’s annoying, but he doesn’t talk nonsense. If you say you can find it, you will find it. clearly.”
“… Yours. “Actually, we’re good friends, aren’t we?”
“Mr. Jeongdo. “If you say that one more time, I can’t guarantee the future.”
She frowned. Seeing how even the faintest traces of life are visible, it seems like I really hate it to death.
“I will support you as much as I can in any way I can. “First of all, we will reorganize the point store that you can use.”
“Reorganization?”
“We will drastically lower the amount of achievement points consumed. “Buy everything that will help you.”
“…Is that okay? “What is the balance of the universe?”
“What is there to know about balance when the universe is in ruins?”
Cool. Obviously, if it were White Winry, she wouldn’t have shown flexibility until the end.
Black Winry waved his hand once, and a notification window appeared in front of him. She said her shop window had been updated.
“I’ll just go now. “Now, this is something that took a lot of time.”
“You seem busy.”
“Don’t you look busy? I have to take care of everything she did! “We have to monitor whether beings from other outer universes will invade, and the balance of the universe is in shambles!”
“… have a hard time “I’ll try my best too.”
“… I’m sorry for being annoying. “Please, good luck.”
Winry left those words and immediately disappeared.
“ha… .”
When he confirmed that she had left, he let out a deep sigh. The sky reflected through her window was very clear, contrary to her own mood.
Damn right.
I swallowed the disgust that threatened to burst out inside me. Although she didn’t show it, she felt just as bad as Winry. Because she was being polite to the person who saved her.
… On the other hand, he could not save himself.
“Mr. Hae-jun.”
I’m sorry. Because I couldn’t save you.
Jeongdo sat on the bed and lowered his head.
* * * * *
‘I’m the only one.’
It’s definitely not something like arrogance or excessive self-consciousness.

Regardless of Black Winry’s words, if you think about it calmly from a third party’s perspective, there was no one other than yourself who had the potential to solve this situation.
Of course, just because he was himself didn’t mean the odds were high.
<Birth> is the highest peak of the miracles of the beginning. And he is the god of the outer universe. The Outer God looks down on even the Great Old Ones, who are not ordinary gods.
No matter how high you set the win rate, is it still 1%? In fact, it may be much lower than that.
The problem is that anyone other than yourself has a win rate of 0, let alone 1%. 0. It wasn’t even a possibility.
Black Winry’s level was so high that he could not use his power properly within <Crawling Chaos>, and there was no way he could be a match for Nyarlathotep with his demonic spirit scope, which is said to be the strongest among beings that are not affected by <Crawling Chaos>. .
‘In the end, there is only <Road>. I have to do something.’
But what should I do?
Is there a chance if I select all three as Transcendence God or Solomon’s Demon single number in Triple Road?
I tried to imagine it for a moment, but I still wasn’t sure. It seems possible if all three are absolute gods, but… Those were ridiculous odds.
So what about <Outer Space Lottery>? No, this is worse. In order to fight against Nyarlathotep, you need to be at least the Great Old One level, but even setting aside the probability of selecting them, their level is so high that they appear as ‘summons’ rather than ‘lords’. In other words, it is impossible to avoid the influence of <Creeping Chaos>. Even if it was just Kthuga, he got kicked out because of that.
‘An entity that is not affected by <Crawling Chaos>.’
It wasn’t an absurd delusion. Because Nyarlathotep said this in his conversation with Hastur.
– <You know Cthulhu’s whereabouts…? You guys aren’t lying, are you?>
– I swear to the Great Chaos.
Great chaos.
I could never forget the moment Nyarlathotep mentioned that name. The ‘something’ I felt the moment that name was uttered was something I had never experienced before.
fear. monstrosity. confusion.
It was a jumbled mess worthy of the name chaos. Something so remote that it can barely be recognized with <Communication-lv.4>, the identity of which cannot be guessed.
‘… It would be better to select three absolute gods.’
I shook my head, dismissing it as a pointless delusion. Putting aside whether or not such an unknown being can be chosen, even choosing it is a problem. It could be like summoning a tiger to drive out a fox.
“The important thing is to increase the probability.”
how?
Now that you can reload the wire, you will be able to fully benefit from <Strong Luck>, but will you be able to load the God level three times?
… It’s impossible. Something groundbreaking was needed to raise the odds. And I think it has something to do with what White Winry said before she was sealed, as Black Winry said.
“A new miracle is not far away?”
It was a very vague statement. How on earth should we set the scope of ‘a place that is not that far away’? Winry said I would be able to feel it, but… I didn’t feel anything different at all.
If we were really determined and searched with the help of the dwarves, we might find it, but time was too short for that. I sighed heavily out of frustration.
‘ha. I feel like I want to see the future… ‘No, wait a minute.’
future?
Spying on time? What if you go to Merlin or the dwarf Mikhail and ask them to read the future?
However, Jeong-do put those means aside and looked at his fingers. There wasn’t really any basis. It was just a strong premonition. Maybe this was the feeling Winry was talking about.
“Ixia?”
<Yes, yes?>
“<Ixia of Wisdom>… .”
Ixia’s full name that I saw when I found it in an antique warehouse. Of course, foresight refers to reading the future.
The degree reminded me of something from the past. He was caught up in an incident that brought him to the homeland of Ixia, where he drove out the Celestial Bastards.
A diary of prophecy left by the Gold Dragon Ixia. What if you could achieve that level of precognitive ability?
“Ixia.”
<Well, master. I know what you’re trying to say. Hehe. sorry. I can’t use my precognitive abilities yet.>
“No, I know that. “I wanted to ask something else.”
<Anything else?>
“What is your assimilation rate with your sister? “Is it still in progress?”
<Ah! no. The fairy tale is all over.>
“good. “There is only one part left, right?”
<Yes, yes.>
“Let’s go find it.”
<… Yes?>
Ixia let out a confused voice. Suddenly in this situation?
No, it’s not that I haven’t tried to find the last part before. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find it, so I put it on hold, but suddenly I find it?
<Master. I’m sorry, but I can’t feel any of the other sisters’ energy right now. Maybe it’s something that doesn’t exist on Earth… .>
“are you okay. If you don’t know, just ask. “I didn’t know I’d be using this here.”
The degree opened the status window. And he grabbed one ticket.
<Wish Road Ticket.>
The ultimate ticket that allows you to literally load the entity you want by clicking on it.
… Actually, I must admit, it wasn’t that versatile of a thing. Was he in the wireless world when he got this? At the time, I treasured it because it was the strongest ticket, but… Sadly, <Wish Road Ticket> was pushed aside by power inflation and was reduced to an ordinary ticket. The problem was that the highest grade that could be loaded when obtaining this was Transcendent God.
Absolute God or higher cannot be loaded.
Even the existence of outer space cannot be loaded.
Of course, the agent cannot be loaded either.
Being able to definitively select and load the Transcendent was great enough, but now… well? After seeing the existence of the outer universe, the existence of transcendental gods did not have such an impact.
“I’m going to sing Ixia with this.”
<Eh?>
“I will ask the person concerned where the last part is.”
<Oh, no. Wait! Even if I am complete, there is no guarantee that I will be able to overcome this situation. Using your precious tickets there… .>
“are you okay. “It doesn’t really matter anymore.”
<I’m not okay! If I fail, I feel guilty and go crazy… Yes, it’s obvious that it will explode!>
“Yes, yes. When that time comes, I will do something. “Here we go.”
<Now, wait a minute… !>
It’s not that Ixia couldn’t understand the burden, but there wasn’t time to comfort them one by one.
Pot!
<Ugh!>
I used the ticket as is. Then a question appeared in my head: who would I choose?
However, the existence of a ‘real universe’ is impossible. Since White Winry was sealed, it was an obvious statement. It didn’t matter anyway. The being he was going to load was Ixia, the Gold Dragon of the ‘Copy Universe’.
As Jeongdo remembered the Gold Dragon Ixia, the sky split apart and a white business card fell out.
“Was it white grade?”
<Ugh. It feels like something is ruined… Ah, ah. sorry! Mr. Ixia. In no way was there any intention to belittle… .>
Heedless of Ixia’s cries as she lost her temper, the white business card slipped into Jeongdo’s forehead. Her clean voice rang in Do-do’s head. Her voice was sobbing, as if it was filled with great emotion.
<Ah, ah. The day has finally arrived. Let’s meet the savior of the universe.>
“… uh. hello.”
Jeongdo was taken aback for a moment by his overjoyed attitude. what? Isn’t it as if he knew when he would call?
<I knew that. Because foresight is a specialty. I knew this day would come and prepared in advance. Of course, it wasn’t 100% certain. There were too many variables. In terms of probability, less than 10%? But the Savior brilliantly beat the odds.>
Muong.
He was dazed for a moment by the unexpected answer, but quickly came to his senses and asked her.
“So, there’s no need to explain the current situation?”
<Yes, you want to find the last part of the Ixia I made, right? I will prepare it right away.>
“preparation?”
Ready for what? Can’t you just tell us the location?
Ixia smiled and answered the somewhat questionable question.
<The last part is not a tool. My mana itself is the last part. The last part was already found the moment you loaded me.>
“No, wait, wait a minute.”
Jeongdo frowned at the overwhelming new facts and calmly lost himself in thought. The last part is her mana? Isn’t something strange?
“The real Ixia is… He went back to nature, right?”
<Yes. He died. I died in despair at the bleak future, but I’m glad things turned out well.>
“… Isn’t it strange? If the last part is your mana… “Isn’t it impossible to complete Ixia forever?”
Because she is dead. Of course, her mana would have disappeared as well. The last part can never be collected in general.
There is only one exception… I guess I have no choice but to load my past existence like myself now. As soon as the thought reached that point, I felt goosebumps forming on my body.
Ixia laughed out loud as if his reaction was amusing.
<Yes. That is correct. I also made it assuming that.>
“no way?”
<My greatest masterpiece, ‘Ixia’, created by processing fragments from the beginning. That child was created from the beginning solely for the Savior.>
“…her.”
<Is that possible?>
Jeongdo looked blankly at Ixia on his finger. She was buzzing and vibrating, as if she too was embarrassed.
<Didn’t you think it was too elaborate to be a coincidence? After all, why was the artifact that only those who possessed ‘Dragon’ and <Communication> able to communicate with the language found on an earth with no connection? A gate for discerning truth and moving through space. Didn’t you wonder why the abilities you really needed were implemented through Ixia at the very moment you needed them?>
“… … .”
If you think about it, it was like that. The more Ixia was upgraded, the more abilities she really needed appeared. At that time, I just thought I was lucky… That was something that was decided?
<I knew that you would save my world, so I worked hard to make it in return. I’m glad it helped.>
“Ah yes. It really helped me a lot. thank you.”
Jeongdo expressed his gratitude in a dazed way. So, to summarize, the story is that the gold dragon Ixia knew that through her foresight, she would save not only her world but also the ‘copy universe’, and she created <Ixia> to help with that.
“But why separate it into parts?”
<As written in the prophecy, there was a risk of being taken over by other beings. But the most crucial thing is… This is because I could not complete Ixia with my own abilities.>
“yes?”
<Let me introduce myself again. Gold Dragon Lord Ixia. It’s embarrassing to say it with my own mouth, but I’m called the Dragon of Wisdom. And it is infinitely close to the miracle of the beginning.>
“Infinitely close?”
When Jeong Do heard those words, he reflexively opened the status window. At the forefront of her talents were the following talents.
<Time-space-lv.2>
A word that encompasses time and space. Just by looking at the letters, I could feel that it was something out of the ordinary.
but.
“Level 2?”
<Yes. My guess is that level 3 of <Time and Space> is the miracle of the beginning. Even at level 2, I was able to transcend space and glimpse time.>
“That sounds good, but what does that have to do with Ixia?”
<Ixia is a child created to help you. To be precise, it is to give <Space-Lv.3> to Jeong Do.>
“Is that possible?”
<I couldn’t have done it alone. Ixia was a child created by processing ‘fragments of the beginning’, so she had potential… My skills were not good enough. One decisive step was missing. I was worried. How can there be no way? But surprisingly, the solution was simple. You can leave it to the future.>
Ixia continued speaking in an excited voice. To some extent, she reminded me of the otaku dwarves she invented. She even believed that she read the future, not to help herself, but to satisfy her own obsession with inventions.
<Miracle of the Beginning <Communication>. If you do that, you will be able to reach the final step! Come on, savior. Please inject mana into Ixia quickly!>
“Well, I think you’re a little excited.”
<There is no time. Quickly!>
In response to her fuss, Jeongdo infused Ixia with the mana of ‘Ixia’.
Paaaat!
<Uh, huh?! master. Ixia! My body?>
Ixia spread a brighter light than ever before, and countless notification windows appeared before my eyes.
<The fragments of the beginning have been completed as one.>
<Check the talent <Space-lv.2.> left by the producer. Check the target’s talent <Communication-lv.4>.>
<Synchronization is in progress. It is an act of ignoring the laws of the universe.>
<Communication-lv.4> ignores the laws of the universe.>
“Ugh.”
The doctor let out a short moan. Intense pain coursed through my spinal cord, but it was not unbearable. This is probably because the deterrent power of the universe has weakened since the Agent was sealed.
Such a short time passed.
<Lord, master. Yes!>
Intense light filled the room along with Ixia’s strange scream. Soon the final notification window appeared before my eyes.
<Synchronization complete.>
Successfully activated <Talent <Space-Lv.3>. Check the user’s talent <Grant-lv.3>. <Construction-lv.3> has been safely granted.>
<Congratulations. You have acquired the Miracle of the Beginning <Space-Time-lv.3>.>
In this way, Jeong Do obtained a new, primordial miracle.
