Chapter 700 – 700. The Sky Fell
Day of Revelation.
A game that determines the end.
Ending.
Conclusion.
The end.
“Ugh…”
I grabbed my head and forced myself to stand up.
What happened?
What on earth did I see?
“In… Indicron…”
[Here it is. Stay still. Your body is healing.]
“Off…”
Pain as if the peripheral nerves were dying.
My body was half crushed.
“Ha. Haaa.”
I was able to endure it, perhaps because Indicron healed my body.
The mental shock was so great that I couldn’t think at all.
I’m dazed.
It feels like being hit on the head with a blunt object.
What on earth did I face?
What did I talk to?
It was a sight beyond understanding.
At that moment, I broke the ‘bridle’ with the mindset that I had to resist at all costs.
When I think back now, I’m not even sure what exactly I broke.
However, I recognized it as a ‘bridle’ and remembered it.
Yes, even my cognitive ability and memory were tampered with. That existence.
“What was that just now?”
I asked Indicron.
No, I asked all the gods who were watching me.
What is the being I just encountered?
I asked for an answer. To my gods.
[That…]
[Unknown.]
[Because we also saw it for the first time.]
[My companion. What on earth did you come into contact with?]
“…?”
They couldn’t answer my question.
The priests expressed doubts about my question.
A situation where even the gods could not accurately recognize ‘it’.
This is literally…
‘Something on top of the Three Demon Gods.’
A being that not even the Three Demon Gods, who are called the Gods of God and the Heavenly Gods, could properly recognize.
Something that seems to be looking at us from outside the story.
Fear enveloped my body.
After gaining omnipotent power and becoming a demigod.
This is the first time I have felt so helpless.
This is also my first time encountering something so incomprehensible.
I was afraid.
The fear of the unknown weighed heavily on me.
Human beings, people, and intelligent beings try to define the unknown in order to escape from this fear of ignorance.
It was the same for me too.
I felt like my mind would break if I didn’t define the being I had just come into contact with.
It took root deep in my consciousness.
He whispered to me.
Is the world you see, hear, and believe in really correct?
Are you sure that the ending you are trying to reach is the right ending?
I had to cry.
He poured out his emotions and asked the gods again.
Please give me an answer.
“Are you sure no one knows?”
An empty cry rang out from the ruined Erebos.
It was Sataniel who soon answered my question.
[If we really need to find a comparison group. That was an error.]
“Error…?”
[Okay. Error.]
Error.
Cosmic error.
I already know what the error is.
The underworld of the black market and the basement level of the tower were none other than a garbage dump where errors were handled.
Yes, in this world, errors are…
“Regressor. Possessed person reincarnated… Or”
[Maybe a reincarnated person or a returnee. But what you just faced were not this kind of idiots that could be easily dealt with.]
“So you’re saying that God has returned?”
[No. Although it is an error. Neither a regressor nor a possessed person… No, it’s not just that. It felt like something that was one step outside this world.]
“…”
[Maybe… That guy just… Is a prophet.]
“Yes?”
Botamilli muttered in an unconfident voice.
Prophet. The prophet’s document found in Mimir’s treasury.
A person who made a revelation that most gods, including the pantheon, blindly believed in.
Godhead in the beginning.
No, it is unclear whether he is a god or not.
“What I just met… Is that prophet?”
[That’s the case under the circumstances. Not sure. It could be a completely different entity… But one thing is certain. It seemed fundamentally different from the beings we evaluate as gods.]
“…”
Soon the evil spirits left somewhere again.
Looks like he’s very busy. Their gaze is disappearing.
It’s probably because of that a moment ago. It’s the day of revelation. Or a bigger danger to come. I think they moved to recognize that and deal with it.
-Kugugu Palace…!
At that time, Kysiri crawled out of the shattered Zubak Palace.
[You… What on earth did you call me…!]
The owner of Zubac Palace, who had lost his smile, shouted at me.
Looking at her, I realized that she had lost her entire family.
At the same time that the palace exploded, Cysiria’s family members inside were also killed.
“Neither I… Nor the gods… Nor anyone else knows.”
[What?]
“No one knows. What came out? But that’s it…”
It is something above the Three Demon Gods.
Maybe something that is above all the gods that exist in this universe.
Also, this universe can be torn apart at any time.
Furthermore, it is not even easy to predict what the purpose is.
He was a being who may have created the gods’ ‘desire’ for all these laws, regulations, and outcomes.
It clearly said this.
“I said that eventually this universe will end.”
It was an affirmation.
It was a confident statement.
I already knew something about it.
The ending of this story. The end of the universe.
Also, before approaching the end, he told me to climb to the realm of supreme perfection.
As if giving a chance. Like handing over a ticket.
It seemed like they were trying to give us a chance to escape from the predetermined ending, the end of complete destruction.
‘The price of ascension is the entire universe.’
Since the universe was going to end anyway, it must have meant swallowing everything and ascending to heaven.
He hoped that I would ascend to heaven at least that way.
‘What on earth was that mysterious feeling?’
The space where he and I stood face to face.
I could feel a glimpse of his emotions there.
The strange anticipation, interest, and excitement I felt at that time.
He wanted me to ascend to heaven.
No, anyone wanted to ascend to heaven.
This makes one inference possible.
‘This world itself… Is a model garden of a bastard. Or the hypothesis that it is a testing ground.’
Perhaps they were waiting for someone who was qualified for ascension to come out.
Bringing in the conclusion that it is the end of the universe.
Make the gods fight each other.
In the end, I want to leave one…
‘Like solitude.’
I don’t know. There was no certain information.
However, what is certain is that something that supported the world has changed, and a new game has begun.
The gods’ game, ‘Eternal Night’, has come to an end.
The very first.
A voice that resonated with everyone around the world on the day the disaster began.
[Thank you for enjoying ‘Dear Us’ so far.]
[Thanks to your support, DLC ‘Eternal Night’ will be downloaded.]
[Please continue to love us a lot.]
With this voice, a status window was given, an awakened person appeared, and zombies attacked people.
And now, the next part has begun.
‘Ha. I’m going to spin.’
First, I think we should go back to the abyss with Kisyria, who lost her home, and Leah, who has collapsed.
We must prepare for the coming day of revelation.
******
The pantheon was shaken.
The evil spirits blocking the entrance disappeared in an instant.
I didn’t know why. The dogs of Manmajeon, which had been mocking the imprisoned good gods and threatening to kill them, ran away as if they were frightened.
Ceponus felt puzzled as they quickly disappeared.
Why on earth are they running away in such a hurry?
No, is that really a getaway?
Maybe something happened.
It’s an opportunity. It was an opportunity to contact the emperor, whom I had not been in contact with for a long time, to assess the situation and devise countermeasures.
[Bister. Assess the situation immediately… Vister. Hey.]
The god of wisdom did not respond to Ceponus’ call.
He was looking in vain at the place where the evil spirits had left.
Like a person in a daze. I was staring blankly at the empty space they had left.
[Ceponus.]
[Why but. Why can’t I come to my senses? Now is your chance…]
[It’s an opportunity. This… Can you really call it an opportunity?]
[What?]
[Ceponus. Look. Don’t look away. See for yourself.]
[…
The sky had fallen.
The divine world was broken.
And big eyes appeared.
It’s not like the eyes of a ten thousand horse.
[Bister. Can you figure out what that is?]
[I don’t know either. One thing is certain. It means the end is near.]
Raythena stared into the eyes.
What on earth is that thing staring down at them?
[Maybe… An observer.]
[Observer?]
[Do you know the three phenomena of the beginning? Things that are the basis of the universe. The phenomenon itself without personality.]
[… I don’t know. There was light in the beginning. Darkness appears…]
[No. Before that. It means a being that recognizes light.]
[There is no way something like that exists…]
[I never thought I would exist too. Until I saw it in person.]
The god of wisdom trembled.
All things, Akashic Records, first author.
A collection of information recording everything in the world.
The collection of information was revealed before the information was recorded.
[Watcher. I think that might be that unknown entity.]
[Well, why is that happening now…]
[I don’t know. In the first place, it is incomprehensible why they are looking down at us with the ‘shape of their eyes’.]
[… Should I fight that?]
[Ceponus. I can’t fight that thing. Because the expression of fighting itself is impossible. I’m just observing that.]
[The Oneiroi… Don’t they know something?]
[Maybe. Those who control dreams… Might know why this is happening now.]
The evil spirits left and the door to the pantheon was opened.
Now I could go out at any time.
A situation has come where you can use as many tricks as you want.
However.
No one went out.
The gods of the pantheon lost their opponents to fight.
The eyes stared at them.
[The day of revelation is coming.]
[It seems so. Much faster than we expected.]
It’s not the end of the game.
The end of the world was approaching.
