Chapter 2339 – 2339. Savior Of The Academy
I had a good romp with Iste.
The altar was a mess. The air was thick with all sorts of lewd smells—sweat, vagina, dick, semen, and piss—and fluids from human bodies defiled the altar.
If I were a god, I’d find it offensive to have a ritual related to me performed here.
‘The desecration is a success.’
Iste put her priestess robes back on. Her nipples were still erect, and her body was twitching like she had epilepsy, but she looked like a priestess on the outside.
“I’ll start the ritual. Give me the Celestial Scripture, Eugene.”
She said in a heated voice. Her pink lips were particularly glossy. Those were the lips that had been sucking my asshole with such devotion.
I took the Celestial Scripture out of my inventory and handed it to Iste.
Iste opened her eyes and looked at the Celestial Scripture.
“A holy object in the form of a book… Interesting. May I read it for a moment?”
“Well, you have divinity and that eye, so I guess it’s okay. Go ahead.”
Iste opened the book. Her eyes widened slightly, as if surprised.
“What’s written in it?”
“It’s about the Outer Gods. It’s translated so we can read it.”
“…Isn’t that incredibly dangerous? That information could be misused.”
“It’s okay. It’s a scripture, but it doesn’t contain the exact methods for performing rituals. The information about the Outer Gods is just their names and appearances… There’s no useful information. It doesn’t say what powers the Outer Gods have. Only the Angel God has detailed ritual methods.”
“Well, it’s a holy object, so that’s to be expected. Is there anything about the god with nine eyes?”
“Yes. It briefly says he’s the observer of the universe. There’s no further information.”
The Celestial Scripture. It doesn’t seem very useful in terms of knowledge.
Before starting the ritual, Iste said,
“Eugene, contacting a god is very dangerous. Especially if you encounter an Outer God… Ordinary humans go insane.”
“But you didn’t stop me.”
“You were fine even after seeing him. You wouldn’t go crazy just from encountering a god. What I’m worried about is… when the Angel God attacks you.”
“I killed his follower and desecrated the altar, so he’s obviously pissed. But he won’t be able to intervene directly, right?”
Even an Outer God isn’t omnipotent. That was proven when I killed the Angel God’s follower, Hamsungu. If the Angel God were omnipotent, I would have been the one to die.
‘Besides, in these kinds of stories, powerful gods usually have restrictions that prevent them from intervening in the mortal realm.’
In the original story, the Outer Gods never directly intervened. In the first place, except for the god with nine eyes, they aren’t even mentioned in the original story. That means their influence is minimal.
“Yes. The Outer Gods can’t directly intervene in the inner world. There are rules and laws that we don’t know about that apply to the Outer Gods. Only that one is free from those laws.”
“The god with nine eyes doesn’t do anything, does he?”
“He watches over us. We are blessed by that alone. Seeing is a power beyond imagination.”
When Iste, who has the primordial eye, says that, it’s convincing.
“How do we meet the Angel God?”
“Through the ritual, your spirit will be elevated several levels to connect with the Angel God. Normally, it’s impossible with just a ritual… but by using the holy object as a medium, we can pinpoint the Angel God’s location and summon him.”
“So my body stays here, and only my spirit meets the Angel God.”
“Yes. That’s why I’m worried. Your spirit could be corrupted. To be honest, I wish you wouldn’t contact the Angel God.”
“Don’t worry. I’m confident enough. How much time will I have to talk to him? I can’t meet him indefinitely, can I?”
“I can’t be sure either. The ritual will last for five minutes… but that world doesn’t have a normal concept of time. There’s a high probability of time distortion. It could be three minutes, or it could be three hours.”
“I guess we’ll have to see. Let’s start.”
She knelt in front of the altar and mumbled something. The candles flickered in a wind that shouldn’t have been there. They were flickering in different directions.
Darkness spread across the floor. The candles couldn’t illuminate the darkness.
The holy object on the altar, the Celestial Scripture, emitted a faint light and floated into the air.
“Eugene, look at the Celestial Scripture. It will be the passage to the Angel God.”
“……”
I focused on the Celestial Scripture. Quite some time passed, but nothing happened.
Iste said in a flustered voice,
“Your spirit is too strong, so the ritual isn’t working properly. Eugene, please cooperate with the ritual.”
It seems the ritual isn’t working properly because of my Absolute Spirit. I deliberately weakened my mental barrier and looked at the Celestial Scripture.
I see light.
Beyond that light, the Angel God was calling me. I answered the call.
My spirit was being sucked into the Celestial Scripture. Or rather, somewhere connected to the Celestial Scripture.
It felt like I was speeding through a long tunnel. I couldn’t see the outside of the tunnel, even if I wanted to.
When I came to my senses, I was in the darkness.
Light was approaching me from high above. I frowned at the blinding light.
I could tell what that thing that looked like light was.
Wings.
108 wings were sprouting in a circle. Its feathers, which were only wings, were made of light.
I knew that its name was Azetetemeu. As soon as I saw it, knowledge naturally surfaced in my mind.
‘That’s not an angel. It’s a monster.’
It was also very large. It was so large that it was hard to guess its exact size. It felt like it was the size of a city tens of kilometers wide.
“Oh, you who hold the scales. Even if you desecrate me, my divinity will not disappear, and my existence will not be harmed.”
Its voice echoed from all directions. My head ached when I heard its voice.
Azetetemeu wiggled its 108 wings. Light spread in all directions, illuminating the darkness. But there was nothing in this space. This was outside the universe. The things in the universe didn’t exist.
I said to it,
“I want divinity.”
“I know. You wish to kill demons with my divinity, so I shall grant you divinity. There is only one condition. You shall give me everything.”
“Okay… If I can get divinity and complete my revenge by killing those demon bastards… I’ll give you everything. …Everything?”
I glared. Something was wrong. Why should I give everything to this bastard? Am I crazy to give my things to this bastard?
“It is too late.”
It became light and seeped into me. I couldn’t react because I was still confused. It took control of me in an instant. It had existed for tens of millions of years, so it easily took over my existence.
“Countless universes exist, but our meeting is both a coincidence and an inevitability. The scales of the universe? It is a coveted power, but I no longer need it. For you have a power greater than anything.”
It moved my hand. Before I knew it, my hand was holding a smartphone. A smartphone when I’m a spirit? Does that make sense? I guess it’s not impossible since a god has taken over me.
It operated the smartphone. I watched it and realized. My clouded mind became clearer.
‘Ah, I see. The goal was the Leisure Life app.’
How did it know about the Leisure Life app? The answer wasn’t difficult. The Celestial Scripture. The moment I was sucked into it, it saw everything about me. And I also saw a part of it. My spirit was too small compared to it, so I could only see a small part.
It moved my finger and clicked on the Leisure Life app icon.
But there was no response.
No matter how many times it touched it, the app wouldn’t turn on. But it didn’t give up and kept touching it.
It’s a fool.
It already knows everything, but it can’t let go of its obsession.
The reason it can see the Leisure Life app icon is because it’s sharing my vision. There’s no other reason.
My mind becomes clear. Now that I think about it, I had forgotten about my Absolute Spirit for a moment. It seems it had played a trick. But even if it could make me forget for a moment, it couldn’t make me forget my Absolute Spirit forever. The Absolute Spirit doesn’t disappear.
“Heh heh. Pathetic.”
“…Silence. You have given me everything. Therefore, the Leisure Life app is also mine.”
“You know what you’re doing is meaningless. The Leisure Life app is mine. Unfortunately, it’s a power that I can’t transfer even if I wanted to.”
Yog-Sothoth, the absolute being of the [God’s Atlantis] world, saw all my memories. And it chose to self-destruct. Why did that being, who could be called omnipotent, willingly self-destruct? Why did it ask for my forgiveness?
The reason is simple. Even those beings can’t take the Leisure Life app from me.
This thing, which is less than one of Yog-Sothoth’s tentacles, is nothing.
Divinity? I don’t need it. I’d be embarrassed to have this thing’s divinity.
“There’s nothing to see. Now get out of me.”
I activated my Absolute Spirit.
It was repelled from me. It wiggled its wings and sent light towards me. It’s useless. I’m a spirit now, and my Absolute Spirit is fully activated. I’m invincible now. No power can harm me.
“No… No…”
“I’m getting bored. I’ll show you mercy. Self-destruct.”
“……”
“I won’t say much. If you don’t self-destruct here… you’ll see what I can do and how far I can go.”
“……I see. This is the end for me.”
The light that had desperately tried to swallow me changed direction and returned to it. The 108 wings melted away in the light, and then disappeared.
“I thank you for your mercy.”
It was wise.
Something was calling my spirit. It was Iste. The Angel God was dead, so the ritual was over. Before answering the call, I checked on the thing that was watching me.
The god with nine eyes.
Even the Angel God didn’t know its real name. It had existed before the Angel God appeared, perhaps even before countless universes were created.
It was an observer.
It was the record and history of all things.
It was the projector of the universe. It was because of it that the concept of the multiverse was established.
I knew that it would never intervene. Did Iste receive its favor? No. It was neither favor nor anything else. It was just observing. Iste had observed it and realized her divinity on her own. It was just watching. It had been doing so until now, and it would continue to do so.
The other Outer Gods were the same. They were basically not interested in the universe. Even if they were interested in the universe, none of them were interested in the universe I was in. The one who was interested in the universe I was in had already been annihilated and disappeared.
I completely lost interest in the Outer Gods and returned to where I was supposed to be.
『You have seen a special being. The rank of your Spirit Eye has increased to S+.』
