Chapter 908 – Antarctica
‘Hmm… I think I could destroy it if I really wanted to… Even quietly.’
However, Seong-il, who recently completed the art of self-immolation and is now fully capable of breaking the law, senses the distrust of the Under Hunters and is dumbfounded to be deceived again.
“What on earth is that relic?”
“Oh, this is it.”
When the man in front of him no longer maintains his arrogant attitude and asks about the relic, Yoo Jun-kyung, who knows the importance of this operation, instead of being sarcastic, obediently explains about the relic.
“It is said that this relic is an ancient Yishite relic. It is said to be one of the three most powerful relics possessed by Illax’s companion.”
Jun-kyung Yoo explains that the relic is a relic with powerful powers of causal concealment and causal disruption.
“Once we activate this relic, you can enter Antarctica by destroying part of the barrier with the dimensional destruction relic you have.”
“Hmm… There was an existing artifact that could penetrate Antarctica, but why wasn’t it used?”
“That is incorrect. We may have been able to ‘conceal’ for a short period of time. There was no way to ‘destroy’ it other than all-out war. That is why we did not use it.”
“Aha. I see.”
It seems that for the guardian of reason, there was no destructive holy object like Arunlabe that cut out the barrier itself. Therefore, Seong-il obediently agrees to his words.
“Let’s begin.”
Wow…!!
The Hunters of Eden begin to activate the artifact as soon as Seong-il speaks. With an expression of interest, Seong-il admires how relics twist cause and effect.
『Is what you showed me really true?』
“…?”
At that time, Seongil was quietly observing the artifact and waiting for its activation. Seong-il feels someone talking to him through the augmented reality window and looks to the side. And the appearance of Min Ye-jin.
“Oh. Did you decide to believe it after reading all the information I gave you?』
『… I don’t completely trust you yet.』
Although he spoke coldly, Seong-il could sense through Min Ye-jin’s shaking emotions that she was very shaken after watching the video about Eden that Seong-il gave her three days ago.
『I and the God I serve rallied the remaining forces of humanity to create a new world called ‘Eden.’ We have now succeeded in training a significant number of humans and turning them into powerful elites.』
『You mean with time acceleration ability?』
『It’s similar.』
Seong-il does not tell Min Ye-jin the whole truth in order to prevent an unexpected accident or prevent her from defecting. He deceives her by subtly mixing her lies with her truth.
『If you don’t believe me, go to any big city on Earth an hour from now. Then you will know that what I say is true.』
『…』
『Don’t think it’s difficult. Because really, everything I say is true.』
Seong-il sends Min Ye-jin a video of himself and his men robbing Neo Busan a few days ago on her smartphone for her service.
『If this video looks like a manipulation, try searching the entire Korean Peninsula. Because there won’t be a single ant baby. Okay then.’
As amusing as Min Ye-jin’s reactions were to her, she wanted to show there was more to her. Since there is no time and his information could be leaked if he shows her too much information, Seong-il leisurely moves to the Antarctic barrier while showing her a few short videos.
Rumbling…!!
When Seong-il brought Arun Rabe to her Antarctic barrier, an intense shock wave echoed throughout her. Through the intense shockwaves emitted from her dimension, Seong-il was finally able to sense that the Guardians of Reason and the Transcendent Church were violently united in the North Pole.
‘Finally…!!’
Seong-il feels her blood boiling as she feels the strong waves. He cuts through the barrier with a solemn expression on his long-awaited revenge.
Pasik!! Farsi style!!
Originally, if a part of the barrier was damaged, a huge amount of energy would be poured into the damaged area from the remaining parts, so even if the entire Antarctic barrier was destroyed, it was impossible for any part of it to be damaged. However, the three powerful relics given by Arunlabe and Illax, which Seongil painstakingly transformed, succeeded in temporarily neutralizing the characteristics of the barrier, helping Seongil enter the inside of the barrier.
“It’s nothing… Hmm?!”
Unlike the Illax group’s fierce attack, Seong-il is slightly dumbfounded when he quickly breaks through the barrier without much difficulty and enters the Antarctic. But, that lasts for a while. When he senses vicious psionic energy in Antarctica, he examines the situation with a frown.
“Malicious…?”
A wave of ferocious psionic energy that can only be described as such. Seong-il frowns at the angry psionic wave that seems to deny all living things and examines the source of the wave.
‘It’s the center of Antarctica.’
Seong-il, who has figured out the location of the evil wave, carefully floats his body to get closer to it. And a fierce psionic wave echoing around.
‘I see you are fighting properly.’
As it was effectively their last chance, the Guardians of Reason seemed to be waging a fierce battle with the bishops of the Transcendental Church who were desperately guarding the North Pole. Sensing their desperation through fierce psionic waves, Seong-il unknowingly throws his body away quickly and tries to carry out the plan.
‘Now if you come a little closer…’
Seong-il succeeded in reaching near the center of Antarctica in an instant. However, for some reason, on his way to the center of Antarctica, Seong-il does not encounter a single transcendental believer, which puzzles him.
‘What…? Is it this sloppy?’
Although Illax and other guardians of the opposite sex are furiously pounding the North Pole, it is so strange that there is no guard at such an important facility that Seongil is confused.
‘But it’s not like I’m warning you… What the hell…’
Since neither the game master nor GamGamGam warned him, he couldn’t stop the operation just because something was strange. Because of this, Seong-il moves his body towards the meteorite without rest with a calm expression.
“Arrived… Hmm?!”
By the time Seong-il reaches the center of Antarctica, where the meteorite exists. Because the meteorite emitted vicious psionic waves, Seongil had to build a powerful area around him to protect himself. Is it because of the strong waves? At some point, he feels puzzled as he feels that the violent shock waves that came from the battle in the distorted dimension surrounding the Earth have disappeared.
‘What? ‘Is it because of the meteorite that I can’t feel the waves?’
At that time, Seongil was lost in thought for a moment while piercing through the black psionic wave and the evil fog created by it. At one point, he felt that numerous psionic creatures had appeared around him like ghosts.
“You’re here. Are you the same bastard who dares to disrupt the church?”
“…!!”
Surprisingly, in an instant, an enemy appears around Seong-il and surrounds him. They were spreading a powerful presence around with psionic energy, but surprisingly, they had human appearance.
‘… No way?’
Among them, the human in the very center spreading red psionics had a more powerful presence than the others.
“… Since when?”
“From the moment you activated our school’s holy relic. For your information, that holy relic did not just paralyze the Antarctic barrier, but also blocked your ‘sense’.”
‘Fuck… Somehow the sensor didn’t give me a proper warning…’
Seong-il grits his teeth as he realizes why Gam-eung didn’t warn him. He asks the enemy leader, who is spraying red psionic energy with a puzzled expression.
“… You guys. Did the mind transplant succeed in the end? Is that why you came here like that?”
“You can say that… The Apostle will soon wake up as well. Think of it as glory. The ‘Archbishop’ of the church himself came to help him fully wake up.”
The guy, who lightly answered that he was the second-in-command of the Transcendent Church, ordered his subordinates to spread hundreds of powerful holy relics around him and began to build a barrier so that Seong-il could not escape.
“… If the Guardian of Reason destroys the North Pole barrier, AI will descend? Is it okay to stay here like this? Isn’t that more urgent than mine?”
“Hehe… Do you still think they are on your side?”
“… No way?!”
Seong-il is astonished by the archbishop’s answer, realizing that the guardian of reason has broken his promise and sold him to the Transcendent Church.
“Why? Is it surprising?”
The bishop leisurely activates the holy relic without stopping to prevent Seong-il from escaping through dimensional movement, buys time, and answers him obediently.
“Would you like to tell me why you were deceived? In fact, Illax really intended to make a deal with you. The problem is that some of the Guardians of Reason had no intention of doing so. There was one executive who possessed a sacred object that could hide causality. The owner of the item you are currently using.”
“…!!”
“He wanted to make a deal by selling us information about the majority of the apostates and about you.”
Strangely enough, it seems that someone within the Guardians of Reason has betrayed them again. One of the leaders seemed to have been allowed to move freely to the Transcendental Church by selling out the Seongil and Illax forces.
“Originally, I had no intention of accepting that guy’s trade offer, but… I had no choice but to accept the deal because of the strange ‘Irregular’ you are. The final ascension to heaven is just around the corner, but the great world is disrupted by some unknown loach. How heartbreaking it would be if you even lost!”
In the voice of the archbishop who said that, the most vicious emotions began to flow towards the holy day.
“If it weren’t for you!! I wouldn’t have had to wake up from dimensional hibernation in an unstable state!! Thanks to you, me and the high priests woke up in this body in a perfect state. I’ll make you pay for that…! !”
The Archbishop, who took time to complete the barrier through conversation, begins to radiate great power towards Seong-il while emitting vicious psionic energy.
