Chapter 916 – Ruler of the Game
(Optional) Start the final battle with the Transcendence Church.
* Doom is likely to come. The Transcendental Church is still a powerful enemy.
* If you choose this offer, you can receive a powerful blessing from the game master worthy of the battle.
※ Caution! Your choice cannot be reversed!
“…”
After seeing the game master’s proposal, Seong-il hesitates, realizing that he has come to a crossroads of making a huge choice that cannot be reversed.
“It’s difficult…”
Although Seong-il wanted to check for a better choice by reacting, he frowned as he realized that these two extreme options each had their own advantages.
‘In the former case… There is a high possibility that my life will not only be ok but also enjoyable every day. The problem is that if I make this choice, I will live my whole life without being able to reveal the secrets hidden in my life.’
The good news is that thanks to the game master’s powerful mind control powers, you can live without being curious about the secret. Therefore, if Seong-il thought about it with common sense, he could feel that this was the most optimal choice for him.
“The second choice is…”
A crisis forecast so brutal that you can feel it in your emotions. If he makes that choice, Seong-il feels that nine times out of ten his life could be in danger. Even if he defeats the Transcendence Church and brings destruction to them, it feels like whether he can know the truth is different, which makes him reluctant. It is literally an extreme choice with little benefit and many benefits.
“…”
However, for some reason, Seong-il just stares at the second option as if he is possessed. As if it was imprinted on his soul. Seong-il, who had been staring at the two options for almost half a day, lets out a long sigh and reaches out for the options.
『Amazing! You reject a comfortable life and begin the final battle against the Transcendence Church in order to seek revenge and save the rest of humanity. You have chosen a mission. We give you special power to praise you for choosing a fate full of pain and glory.』
『Game Ruler (Additional Awakening)』
* The performance of all your skills improves.
* Causality points are doubled. Now you have 3,000,000 points.
* You can summon multiple characters. Additionally, by ‘removing’ Ysin, you can recover and grow your causality points. (The more powerful the entity, the better the effect.)
* You can reset the cooldown of the game’s ruler skill by absorbing the energy of the dungeon core you possess.
* Descent of the End (partially open): ? When used, Will descend. (Lack of causality)
“… The descent of the end.”
Instead of being happy to see that the power has become overwhelmingly stronger than before, Seong-il looks at the phrase and skill written at the end, ‘Descent of the End’, and quietly recites it with an expression full of doubt.
“Whoa… That’s okay. Let’s get ready to go.”
No matter how much I think about it, I won’t find an answer. Instead of hesitating, Seong-il prepares to move straight to reality. He is the Earth Mother, Aruril, etc. He calls his followers who actually control Eden and explains his intentions.
『Do you really need to fight a dangerous battle?』
『That’s right…』
The Earth Mother and Withgrasil, who look slightly full, dissuade Seongil with moist eyes.
“For some reason, I felt like I had to do it. In that sense, please take care of me.”
Seong-il worries that the Inner Plane may disappear due to his death. Of course, the power of Withgrasil and the Earth Mother is as strong as it is. Even if the Inner Plane disappears, they may be able to prevent the collapse for a while, but they cannot do so forever. Seongil orders his followers to prepare for the worst.
“So, build as many arks as possible. In the worst case, humanity can travel around the dimension and survive.”
『I understand.』
After hearing Seong-il’s command, the Earth Mother quickly sheds her sorrow and nods her head in agreement to Seong-il’s words. After organizing everything, Seong-il sighs lightly and then calmly moves into the ark he made in Eden.
『All preparations have been completed. Master.』
“Okay. Well done. Let’s go then.”
To her credit, when Dana has completed all of her self-required preparations perfectly, her saint praises her in a tone of satisfaction. However, due to the situation, instead of being happy like she did before, Dana quietly draws out the power of the dimension and prepares to return her ark to reality.
Wow…!!
Dr. Howard Wren described the ark given to Seong-il as ‘small’, but in fact, that expression was only half true. It is only small compared to the huge ark they are aiming for. Seongil’s ark was actually bigger than 3-4 aircraft carriers combined.
And as the gigantic oval-shaped gas began to emit power, dimensional cracks began to form little by little in the space of the Inner Plane. And soon after, the Ark of Seongil disappears in an instant.
***
『I’m here.』
When Seong-il really appears in Antarctica with another dimensional ark, all the guardians of reason, including Illax, welcome him as he kept his promise.
“Yes. This is the ark I operate. You don’t know.”
“Indeed. Somehow they repaired our ark easily. I knew that would happen.』
Even after hearing about Selaumaini’s delusion, Seong-il does not particularly correct the lie. Instead, he just quietly reminds them of the promise he made earlier.
“Don’t forget your promise. While I’m drawing attention, you will be rescuing humanity held captive in the dimensional port.”
『Of course. As promised, I will definitely move them to the coordinates you mentioned.』
“Hmm.”
In order to rescue 100 million people and send them to Eden, Seong-il had Lee Ah-hyun and Arulil waiting at specific dimensional coordinates. He hopes that the Guardian of Reason will defeat the Transcendence Church in the dimensional port and rescue them. Furthermore, he quietly records the coordinates of his dimensional ark, hoping that he will not betray and keep his promise.
Wow…!!
Seongil’s dimensional ark begins to float at an incredible speed that is unbecoming of its gigantic size. He could have used his power to immediately teleport to the headquarters of the Transcendental Church, but in that case, the ark could have been tattered by their dimensional traps and attacks, so Seong-il quietly flew manually and moved the ark to the Sahara Desert. Br〉
‘It’s fast.’
Seongil’s Ark shows off its incredible performance, crossing the leadern Ocean from Antarctica in just 10 minutes. As he finally approaches the Red Sea, ominous psionic energy boils in the sky, and battle fleets that appear to be the troops of the Transcendence Church begin to appear.
『You traitor! What kind of guts do you have to come back to us? Do you believe that if you kneel now, we will forgive you?』
The leader of the Transcendental Church floating in the air seemed to have mistaken Seong-il for being the guardian of reason, perhaps because he could not even imagine that humans would be operating the ark.
『It’s too late now! Ascension has begun! He woke up…』
“Come! Nygle!”
Seong-il had no intention of continuing to listen to the Bishop of the Transcendental Church who was talking nonsense while looking at him, so instead of answering, Seong-il calmly summoned Nygle, an evil foreign agent from the world of Mythology.
『You have summoned Nygle. The character’s summoning time is 3 hours.』
‘Oh…? The causality has doubled, but the summoning time has tripled? Did this happen because of the performance improvement of all skills other than causality?’
Seong-il is intrigued by the performance of his skills, which are stronger than expected. At the same time, he tries to recharge his causality using the energy of the remaining dungeon core.
‘I guess I can summon a foreign god-level being at least ten more times…?’
The amount of remaining core energy was probably considerable, despite summoning Foreign God Luhop. Seongil looks happy as his causality is recharged quickly, and he still has quite a bit of core energy left.
『Cooooo!!』
As soon as Seong-il utters one word, the ominous psionic energy covering the sky is pushed away, and another ominous power begins to fill the world. And then, a ‘something’ like a huge moon appears. It looks like a cluster of tentacles made of flesh and pus, making the viewer disgusted.
『Everyone… Come to me…』
A terrible whisper that pollutes the minds of those who hear it. That terrible cry, as if hundreds of millions of trillions of tentacles are shouting all at once, makes even the bishop of the Transcendental Church, who has wandered the dimension for a long time, feel a sense of crisis.
『How dare you…!! Are you joining hands with a cosmic being?! You guys have gone as far as you can!!』
The bishop in charge of the gate seems to have not yet heard about the situation in Antarctica from the escaped archbishop, and curses at his corrupt compatriots.
“Hoo… Is this the elite of the Transcendence Church? Is he strong?”
Surprisingly, unlike the archbishop and his subordinates who were destroyed by Ruhop, the troops of the Transcendental Church appear to be holding up quite well. Perhaps because they are on board a battleship and not bare-handed, they seem to be doing a good job against the Nygles.
『I guess I wasn’t able to fully demonstrate my power last time due to the Antarctic barrier.』
“I think so too.”
Seongil nods in agreement with Dana’s assessment. Seong-il, who thought that he would not be able to break through the group with the power of Nigle alone, uses his power once again to summon a new being.
