Chapter 141 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
Yeonhwa’s Qigong mastery, called Cheonma, was at a level that could be said to be the best in the world.
A natural ability can be suppressed with force, and even if it is a structurally impossible ability, it can be easily bypassed with her internal energy control ability.
In other words, in front of her, most seal-type abilities cannot use their power properly and are doomed to be destroyed or released.
But is it something that would make her give up on unlocking it? To put it another way, it also meant that it was an item that no one could forcibly unlock in the current Orbital Continent.
“What on earth is in this box? The fact that the original woman cannot release it means that others, no one, can. “How on earth is this thing so great that it’s sealed like this?”
And as expected, Yeonhwa, who had never thought that such a seal would exist, is the first to show her curiosity and ask Eugene about it.
If she were to respond to Yeonhwa’s question like that, she didn’t have to complicate it. Eugene, who expected to be able to eat her raw without having to go through the process of liberating her hidden piece that he had put in her hands, answered in a voice full of her regret. I answered.
“My secret weapon. “It is a sealed object with a sacred vessel.”
“If it’s Shingi… “Are you talking about a sacred object like a holy sword?!”
When Genos, who was listening to the conversation between Eugene and Yeonhwa, asked in surprise at Eugene’s unexpected answer, Yeonhwa expressed her understanding.
“Is it God…?” … If that’s the case, then this seal isn’t something I don’t understand. Rather, if it were said that this was a sealing done by humans, she would not have been convinced. So, Sky Sky, what kind of god’s sacred object is contained in this box? Park Ae-shin like the Holy Sword? Or God of Heavenly Punishment? “Is it perhaps a divine object of the Creator God?”
Yujin smiled awkwardly and shook her head as Yeonhwa mentioned the names of the three gods in Orbital World.
“This is not a sacred object from the gods that exist in Orbital World.”
“Commercial, no way… ?”
In Orbital World, there were several other gods, including the three major gods.
But despite this, when talking about gods on this continent, most people will think of the three major gods, the god of creation, the god of heavenly punishment, and the god of benevolence.
Among the three great gods who gave birth to the world, the Creator God is the highest-ranking god, and the Heavenly Punishment God is in charge of destruction, which is the opposite of the creation that the Creator God is in charge of.
Lastly, there was a god, Park Ae, who was in charge of living things living in the world.
These three main gods can be said to be the great gods believed in by all intelligent life forms in the Orbital World, and even the elves who believe in the World Tree acknowledge and respect the existence of these three gods.
“In other words, in the Orbital World, if you ignore other miscellaneous gods, the gods are only talked about as the three major gods. In other words, the sacred energy of the gods existing in the Orbital World refers to the sacred energy of the three great gods.”
It’s not that other gods didn’t exist, but they weren’t worthy enough to send their gods to earth.
This is proven by the fact that the three major gods are the only gods in history who sent divine energy to earth.
Therefore, Yeonhwa naturally thought that the item sealed in the box he was holding was the sacred art of the three great gods, considering that it was the divine power of God mentioned by Eugene…
“But you’re not the god of Orbital World? That means it is not a sacred weapon of the three major gods, and in that case…”
Yeonhwa expressed such a guess and immediately looked at the box Eugene was holding with a wary gaze.
“… As far as I know, she is not one of the three major main priests, but the ones who claim to be gods who can give down divine powers are only foreign gods believed in by fanatics called Cricents, whom I heard from the governor?”
Originally, Yeonhwa would not have known in detail what Crescent was doing. However, she later revealed that one of the major organizations she and Eugene had to antagonize was the Crescent.
Therefore, basic knowledge was accumulated through Eugene’s explanations.
Therefore, she was able to recall the fact that if there were sacred relics of the gods other than the sacred weapons of the three great gods, then the foreign gods of Crescent were the owners of those relics at this point.
“It’s just as you said. What is contained in this box is the foreign news, the magic of Azathoth. … To be precise, it can be said to be a vessel that can contain divine power.”
“Azathos… ?”
Among the names of the seven major foreigners of Crescent that Yeonhwa heard from Eugene, the name Azathoth did not exist.
Therefore, when she was wary of the fact that Eugene was in possession of her foreign body’s sacred device and expressed her doubts, she explained a little more.
“It is of the same type as the seven foreign media that Crescent believes in, but should we say that it is a foreign media that has no interest in the Orbital World?”
Just as humans are diverse, so too are gods. Eugene put into her mouth the original knowledge she knew.
“In the first place, there are more than seven foreign media outlets. “Among them, the seven foreign gods who are interested in the Orbital Continent and interfere with it like demons are the only ones from Crescent.”
Since they are the foreign gods of Crescent that exist based on the Cthulhu Mythology, it seems that other foreign gods that appear in the Cthulhu Mythology also exist.
Unlike the seven foreign media, the other foreign media did not have much interest in the Orbital Continent and did not try to interfere with it. Or…
“It is possible that we are not observing the Orbital Continent itself in the first place. “Because the universe is large and has many dimensions.”
And just as Azathoth is a foreign god who is likened to the universe itself in the Cthulhu mythology, he was also a god who was depicted as a world-class foreign god in the original work called Orbital World.
“It means that even if the seven foreign bodies of Crescent that interfere in the Orbital World decide to attack, they are not even a scratch.”
The strongest among foreign media. There was no immediate description of Azathoth’s combat power in the original work, but considering the status Azathoth of the Cthulhu mythos, which served as the motif, occupied there, it was not surprising.
“… “Why does such a foreign news item exist on this continent?”
Yeonhwa looked like she couldn’t understand Yujin’s explanation and glared at the box Yujin was holding.
No matter how much Yeonhwa was the only child in the world, there was a level of respect for a divine being.
Unlike the respect others have, it is closer to respect for seniors who are ahead of oneself.
In other words, it can be said to be a way of thinking outside the human realm in that it sees it as a ‘wall’ that must be overcome at some point rather than as a being to be believed in.
However, it is a story that the power of a divine being has a level of ‘status’ that even Yeonhwa shows respect for.
Among them, is it a new item from Azathoth, the strongest among foreign gods?
It was natural for Yeonhwa to be wary, and since it was strange that a foreign god who had no interest in the Orbital Continent existed here in the first place, it was not strange for her to express doubts.
“It’s not exactly new. “It’s a magical vessel that was new to me.”
“What’s the difference?”
As Eugene spoke, pointing out Yeonhwa’s misconceptions, Genos, the owner of the Holy Sword, one of the sacred objects, tilted his head.
“To explain that, you have to first understand what divine energy is.”
“Isn’t it a conglomeration of the authority given by the author God? “If it is for humanity, it should be created and passed on to humans as a means to become stronger, like the Mara Pasun that Shingyo worshiped. It is like the holy sword that the overprotective guy named Park Ae-Sin threw for the sake of humanity.”
Originally, Yeonhwa’s remarks would have made him uncomfortable if Genos, who had a certain degree of faith as a warrior chosen by the Holy Sword, heard them.
However, Genos, who is now Eugene’s servant and is also faithful to his wife, Yeonhwa, just nodded as if what Yeonhwa said was right.
“No, that part is an illusion. Shinki is a power weapon created by a power user who has reached the level of a ruler… “It’s similar to my mind object (soul weapon).”
So what is something called a sacred object, a holy relic, or a holy relic?
“The ‘divine energy’ itself, or the ‘fragments of divine energy’ that a divine being who has reached the level of a ruler or higher bestows on his descendants and incarnations is called a sacred object or relic.”
And the holy sword was also a ‘fragment of divine energy’ created by removing part of the sacred energy originally possessed by Park Ae-shin.
“… “Are you saying that the Holy Sword is part of a sacred weapon?”
When Genos, who as the owner of the Holy Sword knew about its fraudulent performance, asked in astonishment, Yeonhwa nodded her head as if she understood.
“Well, it is an object created by people called gods who influence the world. “It’s no wonder that the Holy Sword is only a part of it.”
Seeing Yeonhwa seem so convinced, Eugene shook the box he was holding and asked a question.
“Then what do you think the sacred vessel means?”
“… From what I’ve heard, it seems like it’s a slightly different type of magic?”
Otherwise, there would have been no reason for Eugene to ask this question. Therefore, Yeonhwa thought for a moment and then expressed the thought that came to her mind.
“A vessel means containing something. So, does a sacred vessel literally mean a sacred vessel, or more precisely, a vessel that contains the ‘power’ of divine energy?”
“Answer.”
When Yeon-hwa guessed that Yu-jin was patting her head as if he were her lover, she said, giving strength to Yeon-hwa’s shoulder.
“Well, guessing like this is no big deal.”
If it had been anyone else, Yeonhwa would have taken her life just by touching her own body, but she said she was already used to Eugene stroking her hair, so she naturally accepted it.
Eugene, who had been appreciating her soft hair for a moment, explained in more detail.
“As Yeonhwa said, what is contained here is not the miraculous power of Azathoth itself. Should we accurately call it a ‘thing’ that was Azathoth’s sacred item?”
Like Eugene’s mind object, the magic could be said to be a non-physical tool created through the power user’s aura.
“Therefore, most of the sacred objects bestowed upon the descendants and incarnations through divine energy disappear without a trace the moment the gods take them away.”
However, there were some that were not like that.
“In the first place, since the sacred device itself is an object with power that vassals and incarnations cannot handle, there are cases where the divine device itself is not given, but the power of the divine device is contained in an object.”
And objects containing the power of divine energy are called vessels of divine energy, and objects that were vessels of divine energy were bound to remain material even if a god took away divine energy.
“In other words, isn’t what is contained in that box nothing more than a shell containing divine power?”
After realizing the identity of the item he secured through Eugene’s explanation, is there really a need to secure such an item? He made an expression like this.
“Is there still a little bit of the magical power it contained?”
“No, the vessel only contains divine power and has no meaning in itself. In other words, the sacred vessel that became a shell after God retrieved the divine power has no power whatsoever.”
When Eugene shakes his head resolutely when Genos asks with his own guess, Yeonhwa and Genos show even more incomprehensible expressions.
“But it can be said to be safer in that respect. “In the end, it is a power that cannot be said to be possessed by even family members or the incarnation of the god; it is a power possessed only by the owner of the sacred weapon.”
Like the two mind objects currently in Eugene’s possession, it is possible to briefly lend them to others, but it is a power that can be recovered as much as the owner wishes.
“If it’s a foreign power, there are plenty of cases where the owner may be subject to interference from foreign powers.”
In fact, the sacred weapons bestowed by the seven foreign ministers of Crescent were so dangerous that just possessing them would turn the owner into a fanatic.
“No matter how indifferent a god called Azathoth is to most things, there is no way he wouldn’t interfere with humans who have discovered his divine power.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
In response to Eugene’s story, Yeonhwa, who decided that the box he was carrying was dangerous, looked worried about whether she should immediately take it away and dispose of it, and Eugene spoke.
