Chapter 570 – Heirs of the Goddess (7)
─Tuk. Lich’s bones fell into the snow.
Monsters that transcend human death also have monster deaths. Even Equinox, who made his body half-half-mumani sands of bone and flesh, is not an eternal being.
So, at this time when his soul was half-destroyed by Optum, Equinox faced the danger of his life.
As I watched, Of Tomb thrust her arm into the bleeding Equinox from her mouth and aura created a new Chakram.
Weiyiing—!!
The mana of destruction spun like a blender, smashing Equinox’s head. As the beautiful woman’s face and the exposed skull turned to dust, Aura Chakram ground the soul in her heart.
Each Kaga… !!
But the soul is not broken.
Unlike when the back of the head was struck, the mana that remained in the soul even after the body was smashed was to deploy the authority.
-I’m afraid I’ll die… !! I’ve come this far, and after a thousand years of waiting, I’ve barely stood on the starting line… !! I can’t die like this!!!!
Equinox roared with a mouthless body. It was the screams of the specter that the soul itself uttered.
-I’ll change it… !! This bloody, ice-covered Underworld, Lee Seung-do, where human beings try to take the place of gods, and the remaining gods who arrogantly look down on the world!!
The rushing waves of mana made it difficult to aim at the body.
The remaining mana in the spear is 2-3 times more than my original mana! It was hard to resist in my own strength.
─I was nothing!! With mere human hands!! I will make the right underworld!!
Shuk-.
It was Tyrsi who suddenly moved in such a tsunami-like pressure. With the remaining mana, she cut through the waves of mana, which made it difficult for her to even open her eyes, avoiding her off tomb and aiming for the soul of Equinox.
Kuwagwagak… !!
The pillar of ice shattered Equinox’s disorganized body like a metaphysical object. Of course, the soul inside the body was also pierced by that merciless magic.
─Ah, ah, Aa, aaaaa■■■■!!!!
Kung-!!!! The earth’s axis split with a loud crack.
I clicked my tongue at the sudden feeling of floating.
A field of view like a broken cathode ray tube TV, and the shaking ground completely different from what the eyes see! Even standing still made me dizzy, as it gave me motion sickness just by being quiet.
This Niflheim was to cause a change in time and space.
‘Mr. Oftum! If you stay there, you’ll get fucked, so avoid it!〉
I pulled Optum back with the mana rope. At the same time, I also tried to deploy the power of creation, but I clicked my tongue at the unfamiliar feeling and just activated the rune magic.
Equinox, with only his soul remaining, unleashed his powers as he tore through space.
─Quick!
Quarreureung—!!!!
The world shattered like a jigsaw puzzle had been knocked to the floor.
Gravity disappeared and the snow fields of Niflheim flew up into the air.
〈Stop Ender World!〉
Tyrsi and I held out our hands and resisted the reconstruction of the space. It was like Tyrsi gave me mana after I activated the rune magic. It was because there was little mana left after defeating Leticia.
Woo woo woo… !!
Tens of thousands of lines of light stretched out in a world that was crushed like outer space. I frowned at the spectacle that was even sacred to the end of the warlock.
The laws of the underworld were being rewritten.
〈… Is it the last outburst? What are you trying to do?〉
Gildart said while hugging Elizabeth, who had passed out before I knew it.
The fight wasn’t quite over to take care of her wife, but I thought so. Aren’t we riding on torn ground and flying through the sky? It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything special to do.
I observed the world without perspective through Odin’s eyes.
〈… These few hours have been nothing short of amazing. Is that possible?〉 The person who answered that was an unexpected person. “Time and space… Originally the same. If even space can be twisted, time can also be reversed with enough force…〉 Sehetefibra said while being supported by other explorers. Seeing that figure, I tried to reproduce Dana’s healing magic and heal it, but I barely endured it. Opponent is the soul. He would have attained Buddhahood if he had walked on a heal made of mana of light. Oftum glared at the center of the distortion. “Are you going to resurrect yourself?” “Maybe, maybe it’s not a struggle.” I muttered involuntarily. Gildart seemed inadvertently holding his sword in his hand. 〈This may have been the last goal from the beginning. If we turn Niflheim’s time back into the past, we might be able to revive the souls that have been annihilated in this world.〉 I pointed to those beams of light while controlling Equinox’s power of creation in reverse. All that light was the memory of a certain soul. Fragments of memories were being collected as if the light itself were a film. Equinox was assembling the souls that had disappeared long ago, going backwards in time.
〈… It’s a grand revival. Wouldn’t it be fine to create a soul with that authority? If you create a soul that is exactly the same as when you were alive, it would be like a resurrection.”
Nefertiti replied as if it was not worth listening to.
“No matter how similar they are, that is a different person. The dead did not come back to life.”
〈… That’s not wrong.〉
Nefertiti looked at me and said. I nodded.
It was similar to the paradox of the Going Mary.
Is a ship made from torn pieces the same as the original ship?
Can the two ships thus created be regarded as the same being?
Can I see a clone that is 100% identical to myself as myself?
It was a sci-fi specific question, but it was the same in the case of the soul. Even if I try to create a clone of Yerna with the power of creation, it is just a daydream identical to the mother and father I saw in my dream.
It’s just a different story if you can turn back time and completely restore the souls of the dead in Niflheim, like replaying a video of sugar cubes in coffee.
Rather than making it completely new, if you turn back time and revive the extinct soul, that is truly a resurrection.
What if I get in a time machine and bring Yerna before I fall behind and put her in front of me?
That’s right, but isn’t that bitch herself right?
Seeing the distorted space-time, Sehetefibra said so. I also agree.
Create a soul That is impossible for humans. If the soul could be stamped out as if it were sweet, how could it be that creating mankind was a feat even among the gods?
Really, really, really, really. Gods among gods.
What only those guys can do is create life.
To create life by shaping a body and a soul would require a much higher level of power than creating the surviving Valkyrie beside me.
‘Not to mention time travel.’
It was impossible to reverse the time of Niflheim even with the power of creation, which was developed by gathering the power of the 66 pharaohs. This twisted underworld was proof.
I dominated the floating snowfield and moved forward.
Reverse the time of hell and revive the extinct soul?
Oh yeah. It’s possible if you just put it into practice. But if you put it like that, my cat, Teresa, will be able to join Inseoul University before she dies if she fucks up her studies with a focus on Youngsoo Kuk.
“Then why did the lich do this?”
One of the explorers who were helping Sehetefibra asked.
He may not have understood the whole situation as if he had been struck by lightning in a dry sky, but he would have been able to understand to some extent by listening to our conversation and watching the battle.
We couldn’t answer
I could have guessed, but I was hesitant to assert.
〈… I couldn’t give up.〉
Was it like that? It was Sehetefibra who answered again this time.
She said, looking at the center of the distortion of space-time that was getting closer.
Where she looked, a huge soul floated. The soul surrounded by 11 magic circles burned with mana. A cozy space was created around the soul, as if it were a paradise. It was as if a new world was being created from there. ─Kooung. I contacted the snowfield with the inner world of Equinox. I got off without hesitation. Tyrsi followed as if it were natural. There was no nosebleeding cold that would freeze even the soul in this world. I could even feel the warm sunlight. It was such a peaceful world that everyone would want to go to a place like this after death. And the source of the sun’s light to defeat the cold was none other than Equinox’s soul. The light of the soul was just as hot as the desert sun, but in this cold underworld, that level might be appropriate. As I said, Tyrsi slit her finger. ─Jjoeok!! The magic circle that protected Equinox’s soul collapsed. I borrowed the remaining mana of the spear and grabbed the sun-like soul floating high in the sky. An action like catching the moon floating on the surface of the water! However, a definite warmth was caught in my hand. This is Equinox’s dream. Her inner world. The law of reality was a twisting world in front of strong mental power. I used Wolfheddin’s power as it was. Roaring—. Equinox’s soul caught in his hand changed like a wisp of fire. Wolfhedin’s power. According to the authority inherited from Odin, that soul was to attain Buddhahood. ‘It’s hard to believe it’s coziness in that ugly bitch’s heart.’ I shook my head at the sight that was even warm. Could this be the afterlife that Equinox wanted to create? Equinox may have been thinking of reviving the souls who suffered in the underworld and bringing them to this paradise to take care of all those who will die and fall into the underworld.
However, no matter how virtuous the intentions in the heart are, if an action is not accompanied by ethics, it can only be called an evil deed.
Even good people can harm people, and isn’t it the world’s reason that even the heinous criminals care about their children?
Nobility of mind does not make a person’s bad deeds good.
Of course, Equinox may have believed that he could one day resurrect the souls of those he had harmed.
Maybe it was just a feeling of putting things away before cleaning the table.
But to say ‘I’ll give it back to you later’ and completely destroy someone else’s life?
Whether destruction precedes creation, or sacrifice for a greater cause, isn’t that the mindset of a fucking asshole itself? I couldn’t understand the ‘goodness’ of that crazy undead bitch.
〈No matter how much you have a legitimate excuse and a desperate heart, you shouldn’t achieve your dream by stealing other people’s papers.〉
I extracted the memory of the soul from the collapsing world in time for Equinox’s immortality.
Shurrrr—!!
Since the ability of Odin Mode (tentative name) had not yet been turned off, much more memories than usual were stored in the Rune Stone. There will be something to salvage
I don’t know how many useful moments will be in the memory of the undead who lived 1000 years.
Dig… !!
As many as 66 power blocks of the creation were freed from the restraints of black magic and scattered like dragon balls. Disappearing like a shooting star in flight. It’s a power that can’t be saved, so I’ll have to give it up.
Shuwaaaaa-!!!!!
The only problem was darkness and negative mana.
The black mana extracted from Equinox’s soul was being sucked into my spear. I was startled and disconnected from the window.
Seruk-.
Then, the high-level inspiration and wisdom that made me feel like a god disappeared like snow. It felt like waking up from a dream while holding an Infinity Stone.
Just as if to prove that it was still a reality, some kind of mana simmered in my window and then sank. Is this bitch a rebel? It’s fucking endless repeating what I said not to do.
“Ugh, disgusting.”
Feeling exhausted, I turned the spear into a bracelet and put it in the stone slab.
That’s right, isn’t it like being kicked in the arm?
〈… Whoa. It really seems to be over with this.〉
Said Optum, wringing out his bloodstained clothes.
Gildart nodded after staring at the snowfield floating in the air thanks to Tirsi’s magic, even though the power of creation was extinguished.
‘Seeing that Nord is here, Sidanav… No, it seems that the woman named Letitia has also been killed. All that remains is to return.”
Hearing his story, we looked at Sehetefibra.
〈… Uh hmm! Keuheum!〉
She cleared her throat in bewilderment for a moment, then corrected her expression and got her form.
Gildart and Optum seemed to have gotten along pretty well after overcoming a near-death crisis together, whispering among themselves as if a friend from Dungton High School spilled a teacher’s class into one ear.
He’s the next queen’s husband, but he’s talking arrogantly. I guess I’ll just be half-talking.
Sehetefibra had a dignified face—a conceited face that only he would have thought of—and a creaky grin.
〈… That, your struggle was worthy of being handed down as a mythical feat for eternity! Therefore, this pharaoh here proclaims that you have all completed the ordeal of Thoth!!
‘Oh, oh oh oh… ?〉
Clap clap clap… ?
The other explorers, who hadn’t done much, applauded as if they were happy. See these bastards have a conscience. I have a brain that won’t brazenly rejoice after getting on the bus.
〈… Having passed the ordeal, I will open the door. Do it or not.〉
Sehe Tefi Bra opened the door roughly as if she was feeling down.
─Ugh. Flying in the sky – A door to the underworld has opened in the snow country. It looked like it would fit in a pyramid.
〈Do you come out to the pyramids when you pass this way?〉
Oftum clapped and guided the other explorers. He doesn’t look like a person who got a hole in his eye and got better with an elixir-level cheat recovery. At the same time, he is laughing and playing some kind of harp. I frowned a little when I saw that crazy black man doing something that seemed to have an even worse effect on racism, then relaxed at Gildart’s whisper that I heard right away. ─Nodded. I nodded at the low voice that only a master could hear. It might not be much money, but if you can pack an item or something, it’s King Jeong. After saying that, Gildart hugged Elizabeth. To hold a princess in the arms of a princess, is this the right place or something?
‘Now that my wife is like this, let’s go first. This is my reward that I promised, and the cost of our lives will be paid back in this world.〉
〈If you eat and bounce, are you going to pick it up?〉
Oh well then I have to go Lord Sargadis said that the prince was coming, and the dog, Bruce, was shaking, so be scolded by Lady Hennessis.
Like that, Oftum, the Gildarts, and the explorers passed through the gate to this world.
All that’s left is Sehetefibra and I, and Tyrsi and Nefertiti, who are still in goddess mode.
“… Tirshi starts with the clothes.”
Nefertiti brought something like a cloak among the things that Optum collected and left behind and put it around Tirsi. It was because the equipment used by Arma Shunas during his lifetime was a bit masculine because of the age.
I cleared my throat at the sight and took a step closer to Sehetefibra.
《… What?”
As I walked in, Pharaoh Jam Minh twisted his head in a corner, then clapped his hands as if he noticed something.
“Ah, if it was the reward you got, it wouldn’t have disappeared. The cross of the sun created by the power of creation is anyway, and the rest are treasures that were buried together at the time of death. It’s real, so you can take it with you.”
“I’m glad you heard that.”
After hearing her answer, I kept looking at her.
“Um, why are you doing that? Speak, speak.”
Sehetefibra is starting to notice me not befitting the title of Pharaoh.
I asked as if Jammin threw it at Pharaoh.
“Aren’t you going with me?”
