<Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 629>
There are only three survivors of humanity.
If you leave out Uld, the rest are no different from being trapped.
Is she the only one actually active?
‘hmm. I wonder if that statement is true… … .’
At a time when Seong Ji-han could not easily believe her words.
“… … “What kind of nonsense is that?”
Id, who was sitting on the ground, looked into the eyes of light and shouted as if it was absurd.
“There are only three survivors of humanity! “Where have all the remaining people gone?”
[Do you want to know?]
Shinan, whose light was shining while looking at Id.
“of course… … !”
[Then, please come to where I am. I will tell you everything I know.]
With that said, finally.
I started to go back out the door I came in through.
“Uh, that… … After all, isn’t he asking you to save him? primitive man! “That woman must have cheated!”
“primitive man? “Is that what you said to me?”
Seong Ji-han frowned at those words, and Id slightly averted his gaze.
“no… … Didn’t you call yourself a lab rat? Still, I couldn’t bear to call him a lab rat, so I called him a caveman… … !”
“Caveman, lab rat self-diss is possible. “It’s not like other people do that.”
“under. There are a lot of things to consider… … “Then what can I call you?”
Well, this guy wants to make a clear statement.
“Just call it my last name.”
“castle… … ? i get it. That’s what I call it. castle. Anyway, listen to me carefully from now on.”
Id gritted his teeth as he looked in the direction Shinan had gone.
“That horse with the eyes. Don’t take it for granted. Humanity is a species that has already reached the stage of immortality. Is there any way that we could be wiped out with only three people left? that… … “The only intention is to arouse curiosity and make you rescue yourself first!”
Seong Ji-han nodded his head slightly at those words.
Well, the owner of Shinan too.
There is no way he would help himself out of pure good intentions.
Everyone must have their own purpose, and they must have chosen Seong Ji-han as the means to that end.
but.
“He’s better than you.”
“What… … ?”
“You were the one who tried to brainwash me as soon as I got here in the first place.”
“that. that… … .”
“There are three or more survivors there anyway. The more people who know about Ark, the better, so I’ll follow along. “Do you want to eat here?”
Then, Seong Ji-han points his finger to the server connection device.
gulp… … .
Id swallowed his saliva loudly and looked at him with regretful eyes.
Swish!
I had a hard time ignoring this.
“no… … I need to hear more about what those crazy eyes are saying. “Let’s come back and eat dinner later.”
“Then it is concluded. let’s go.”
So the two of them left the door of the southern section.
[Please come this way.]
I started moving in the direction Shinan guided me.
Occasionally, a clock of light would pop out and block it.
Grumbling… … !
Seong Ji-han easily removed it and cleared the way.
How long did it take to walk like that?
[If you go in this direction, you will reach the western sector.]
Inside the blue-red room, a red-colored manager spoke to Seong Ji-han.
He gained a lot of information when he entered Hephaestus’ body in the southern sector.
I looked at the direction Shinan was leading and figured out what was at the end.
‘If it’s the western sector… … Didn’t you say there was Yggdrasil?’
[okay. It is an area that supplies infinite vitality. Among the areas in the north, south, east and west, this would have been the first to be built.]
‘Yggdrasil is the first… … .’
Shin Ophthalmology guides the way and tells you to save yourself.
Is it simply a coincidence that the western sector where Yggdrasil is located is located at the end of that direction?
Seong Ji-han continued on his way, feeling strange.
And then we come to a crossroads that splits into two directions.
[Please come this way.]
Shinan guided him to the left.
‘From the right direction, a thick energy of life flows.’
Is that the western sector, where Yggdrasil is located?
Seong Ji-han looked in that direction for a moment and then moved along with Shinan.
Then there.
Four women were lying on the ground, immersed in light.

“This is the dormitory for female quarantined people… … .”
When Id was looking at the inside of the space, rolling my eyes non-stop, as if I had never been to a woman’s room before.
[Come to me.]
Shinan went to the person lying on the leftmost of the four.
OK.
Sussss… … .
The eyes of light entered her eyes.
The mouth of the woman lying down moved.
“Let me formally introduce myself. The name I was given was Noah. A quarantiner with the power of observation.”
And then she
“Also appointed by the government… … “I am the official supervisor of ARC.”
He even talked about his hidden identity right away.
* * *
Noah on Ark.
“… … Was this Noah’s ark?”
“It’s just a name created by a superior who was obsessed with ancient literature, the ‘Old Testament.’ “It has nothing to do with mythology.”
Noah lay down like that and just moved his mouth.
Id said in disbelief.
“You are the supervisor… … How can quarantine… … ?”
“Because there can only be people in quarantine. “In order to supervise this place, the quarantined person had to become the supervisor.”
“… … is it. But you are trapped in a prison of time. “How can I open my mouth?”
He then pointed to the clock that covered Noah’s body like a tattoo.
Her clothes are covered in flashing clock patterns, just like the people next to her.
Unlike her colleague next to Lana, who had lost her vitality, she was moving her mouth unnaturally.
“The prison of time repeats the painful past and forces the opponent into submission… … The power of my watch can evade this.”
“evasion… … Called?”
“You can’t see what you don’t want to see.”
Even if Uld replays the past through the prison of time, does that mean he can just look at something else?
‘You can avoid it that way.’
When Seong Ji-han was thinking like that and staring blankly into the eyes of light.
“… … what. good. viewer. What on earth did you say earlier? We got this far, but it was actually a lie! “You’re not saying that, are you?”
“I guess I hope it’s a lie. But it’s true. “There are three survivors of humanity.”
“… … no. Does that make any sense? “How can there be only three of the prosperous human race left?”
“Do you remember about ‘transcendence’?”
Let Noah bring up the story of transcendence.
Id’s expression became serious.
“transcendence… … ? that… … “Wasn’t it just nonsense?”
“What is that again? “Don’t keep telling yourselves what you know, but also tell the lab rats.”
Seong Ji-han points to himself and asks that question.
“Transcendence is the process of uniting light-bodied humanity into one consciousness.”
“With one consciousness… … ?”
“To put it simply, you can think of it as uniting all of humanity.”
The entire human race combined.
It’s easy to understand when you say it that way.
But.
“Why are you doing that? Aren’t humans with the characteristics of light doing well? Why are we combining them into one?”
“Of course. We are the first intelligent beings in the universe… … He is an immortal being who has overcome the limitations of his physical body and gained a light body. Transcendence doesn’t need to be done… … !”
At Id’s rebuttal, Noah’s eyes sparkled with light.
“There are many reasons, including centuries of great war… … Ultimately, it is due to resource depletion.”
“Depletion of resources?”
“To transform humanity into a light body, special resources are needed. A star that matches the wavelength of the human species… … “It is the star we call the sun.”
“The sun is a resource?”
Looks like future technology has advanced.
Treating the sun as a resource.
It was about time that Seong Ji-han looked at Noah as if it was absurd.
“There are countless stars in the universe, but there were only a limited number of stars that could lead humanity to light-body transformation. To obtain it, humanity waged a great war, and after 95% of them were exterminated, humanity was able to unite into one government.”
“… … The Great War is a thing of the distant past. “Because only 5% of the population survived, there was more sunlight for us to use.”
“However, mankind is already immortal. “Barring a great war, it is only a matter of time before the population recovers to its previous level.”
“that… … ”
“We must repair the human species from its foundations through transcendence to prevent the predicted apocalypse.”
Id seemed speechless and could not reply.
Sigh.
The eyes of light looked toward the sacred site.
“Unlike Id, you probably won’t be easily understood.”
“huh… … ? what. yes?”
“also… … “Let me explain in detail.”
At the same time, Noah began to explain why humanity only becomes light-bodied with solar-type stars.
“The human species arose on a planet influenced by the sun. “From the beginning, our ancestors were absolutely influenced by this star.”
“uh… … “I understand that.”
“Is this why it started like this? When the human species continued to develop and achieved a new era called light bodyization. Solar energy is essential here. There are countless stars in this universe, but only those that resemble the sun responded. The proof of this is… … .”
one.
‘… … ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
Seong Ji-han gave up understanding the connection between the sun and humans from the moment the proof was published.
I still don’t fully understand humans made of light in the first place, or even becoming a light body.
Talking about compatibility with the sun went too far.
“hmm. That’s it. Can we just say that we are transcending because of a lack of resources?”
“… … yes. “You can look at it that way.”
When Seong Ji-han completed his understanding at that level.
“no. Even though… … I don’t understand this! I admit there is not enough sun. But that’s a distant future… … We don’t know how technology will develop during that period, but are we already giving up and trying to transcend?! you. “If you think about it, aren’t you in league with the Uld?”
Id, who had been unable to refute for a moment earlier, relented.
Once he regained his momentum, he was screaming loudly.
“You say that I, a government official, and Uld, the leader of the rebellion, are in the same group… … “This is the most unpleasant thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
“her. There is no way people would have approved of this. Both my father and my mother. There is no way such a ridiculous transcendence ritual could have been carried out… … .”
“Do you think they did it with consent one by one?”
The corner of Noah’s mouth twitched unlike usual.
“what… … ?”
“As for transcendence, there was more public opinion against it than in favor of it. “Like you, there are still a lot of stars left for light body conversion, but the prevailing opinion was why we were doing such a thing.”
“however… … “You ignored all opposition and just let things proceed?”
“yes. For the future in government. We modified the light body system to allow all of humanity to ‘transcend’.”
Jiiiing… … .
Light emanated from the inside of the body and a screen appeared.
There.
Flash! Flash!
People whose body parts are made of light blink in pure white and then disappear.
Only fragments of the body that had not been transformed into light were left lying on the ground.
“The only people who were not able to join the transcendence were those who were quarantined and possessed only one characteristic of light. “All remaining normal humanity gathered into one light, the ‘Overmind.’”
Are all normal people transcending and those in quarantine unable to join in?
When Seong Ji-han grasps the situation outside the arc like that.
“And the Transcendental Body, where all the light of humanity was gathered, took on an unfinished appearance.”
Jiiiing… … .
Shinan showed a new scene.
A cluster of lights the size of a fist floating in the air.
It was no different from the feeble light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, so the brightness itself was not impressive.
but.
‘… … Now that I have the white light, I understand. The power of white light is highly concentrated there.’
Seongjihan has now taken a step into the clan of light.
I was able to see and understand the reality of that small lump of light with my own eyes.
If that appears as a number in the stat window.
Perhaps the symbol symbolizing infinity, ∞, comes to mind.
Was that the same for Id as well?
“That… … Transcendent… … .”
Contrary to the reaction of disbelief so far.
When I saw that small cluster of light, I immediately realized that this was a transcendental object.
‘But even though it’s the same size, that cluster of lights that contains infinite power of light is unfinished?’
When Seong Ji-han looked at the Transcendental Body like that and was lost in thought.
Jiiiing… … .
The screen that had enlarged this gradually began to zoom out to show the surroundings.
And there, Uld appeared, standing with his eyes closed.
“That woman… … “Why are you in front of the Overmind?”
When Id saw that, he asked with a trembling voice.
“That’s right, the Overmind is at the center of the Ark.”
Noah answered in an obvious tone.
