Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

163. Fate (3)

#163. Destiny (3)

When Herron opened her eyes, she found herself inside a huge library. This was the place where everything was recorded. It was the interior of the Akashic Records.

She was able to briefly access information from the Akashic Records through the Future Vision, where she could read destiny.

If it was an ordinary fate, it could be read without entering the Akashic Records in this way, but for important fates such as the ‘end of the apocalypse’, it had to be read by entering directly inside. Otherwise, it could face a backlash from the law of causality.

“This is… not it.”

Heron floated around the library, checking the time on Earth. Time was organized based on the beginning of the universe. After calculating Earth time and space time, Heron took out a book.

“This is it.”

As soon as she opened the book, her divine power was sucked into the book. It was an absolute law based on causality. Witnessing destiny required a price, so her divine power was consumed. Heron immediately opened the last page and found the place where the final days of the apocalypse were described, and finally found out what kind of disaster would befall the Earth.

“What kind of disaster is…?”

The response to a disaster varies depending on the type of disaster. And if measures are taken before a disaster strikes, its power is significantly weakened.

“… The God of War?”

Heron tilted his head at the types of disasters written in the book. The information written in the book was that ambiguous.

——Those who achieved transcendence through martial arts became a disaster for the Earth.

If one is said to have transcended nothing, he is naturally a god of nothing.

But among the countless gods, who will become a disaster?

The sentence did not accurately describe anyone in particular.

I couldn’t tell if it was the newly-introduced god Cheonmu Bong, or the first god, Berget, or a god from somewhere else.

——The Earth has come to an end.

The same is true when reading other sentences written in destiny.

There was not a single clue that would reveal the cause of the disaster.

“Ugh… … .”

As she continued to read the book, Heron felt dizzy. It was a sign of exhaustion due to a lack of divine power. She immediately ended the future time and escaped from the Akashic Records.

The burnout phenomenon was a warning of sorts. If you ignored this warning and continued to stay in the Akashic Records, you risked your very existence being absorbed into the book.

“Did you find out the information?”

When we returned to Earth, Berget was waiting for us.

He looked at Heron and asked for information about the disaster.

“… What is it?”

“What?”

“Musin is a disaster. I haven’t found out any more information than that.”

“…What the hell are you talking about? Speak so I can understand.”

“Those who have transcended through martial arts have become the disaster of the Earth. This is all there is to the clear clues about the disaster. There were not a single concrete clue. Not even a single clue about time.”

“What is this?”

“… Are you by any chance a disaster?”

Heron said, raising his eyes.

“I’m a disaster? Hahahahaha! That’s some really amazing nonsense. My status is at a wall. I’m only revealing it now, but… One step forward. If I take that one step further, I can get my hands on the status of a foreigner. Do you think I’m going to be manipulated by a foreigner?”

“… What’s wrong with your head?”

Heron shook his head as he watched Berget, who was only one step away from becoming a foreigner. He knew that he was strong, but he couldn’t believe that he had reached the level of a foreigner.

“Believe it or not, it’s your choice. Anyway… I guess you’re not really useful anymore… Hmm?”

The observer’s eyes turned to Berget and Heron.

“… the eyes of the observer are looking at you.”

“I’m not looking at you?”

“Do you think I can’t even tell that much? I’m subtly tilted toward you.”

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to recognize even this much since you can’t even control your future properly.”

“… … .”

Heron had a lot to say to Berget, but he held back.

The observer looked at Berget for a moment and then turned his gaze away. It seemed like he was just casually looking around here and there when he happened to see this place.

“What are we going to do now? There is no clue to the disaster… and no way to stop it.”

“I have to solve it my way.”

“…?”

“I’ll beat the disaster with force. Cynthia will be helpful too. Then we can compete against each other. Don’t worry, the information you gave me will be useful.”

“… Are you serious about what you’re saying?”

The disaster that is granted the causality of the end undergoes a change in ability based on the existence staying on the planet. From this point on, external intervention is blocked at the source, and even transcendent beings cannot intervene in what happens on the planet.

If the planet where the apocalypse is in progress has reached its final stages and the transcendent beings have not intervened, it would be easier to wait for death with peace of mind.

Anyway… back to the main topic.

If a transcendent being exists on the planet, the causality of the apocalyptic disaster will be reset based on the transcendent being, and the strength will also be set accordingly.

“The disaster will be the strongest being that resides on this planet… that is, it will appear based on you. Even you won’t be able to deal with it lightly.”

Heron added.

“This is fate. A fixed fate that came about because we failed to find any clues to the disaster.”

“What are we… that you couldn’t find?”

“… Could you have found it without me?”

“Well, that doesn’t matter anyway. What matters is that a disaster will come out of nowhere.”

“…?”

Berget continued with a smile.

“If we kill all the gods, won’t the disaster occur? No, fate will change, so they will reappear. But in a much weaker state than before. Anyway, that’s beside the point.”

“…yes?”

“As you know, there aren’t many transcendent beings who have walked the path of nothingness. Even if you add up all the transcendent beings who have walked the path of nothingness… there are probably over a thousand. If I remember correctly… 961, no. Now that there’s one more, it must be 962.”

“… So you’re going to kill all the gods in this universe? Isn’t that an unrealistic idea?”

Do you know where those gods are and kill them?

It would be quicker for disaster to strike than to seek them out in the first place.

“I’ll take care of that, you just have to choose. Honestly, I don’t mind if disaster strikes. It might be a bit of a hassle, but… it’ll be an experience.”

“… You’re crazy.”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’ve been crazy for a long time.”

Berget laughed like a madman and released his divine power. His enormous divine power eroded the area in all directions. Heron was impressed by the enormous wave of divine power he had never felt before.

“…Stop. If we continue like this, the Earth will be in danger.”

“Really? Then we should stop.”

Berget spoke to Heron while trimming the moon.

“You stay here and prepare the ritual. We must finish this work quickly before the disaster comes, as soon as possible.”

The apocalypse will not end just because the disaster has been defeated.

The first disaster was just a trigger for another disaster. The fate given to the outside world would continue to produce causality for the end of the Earth, so there was only one way.

Changing the fate of the apocalypse.

For that, ‘consciousness’ was needed.

“…is it so.”

Heron was not impressed by Berget, but he had no choice but to agree to his words. There was no other way.

“Then… I’ll kill the other guys before the gate to Earth is sealed. I’ll have to kill the guys from the Pantheon first. If I ask them where they are, I’ll know everything.”

The gods are few in number, so they all know each other once they cross one or two bridges. Berget planned to take advantage of that.

‘… crazy guy.’

Heron looked at Berget like that and started walking to prepare for the ceremony.

[ I don’t know what Heron is doing… ]

[Berget, you’re hanging out with that crazy author. Are you really preventing the apocalypse?]

[ It is inefficient to worry about a decision that has already been made. Haven’t all the available causalities already been yielded to her? ]

Instead of walking the path of the godless and reaching transcendence, Yeomcheonja (念千者) spoke to other transcendent beings.

[ All we can do is believe and wait. Her plan was perfect, and unless something unexpected happens, the end of the world will not come. ]

[ … I want to take a look at the Earth.]

[ Do you want to give additional causality to foreign media? ]

[ … Okay. You don’t have to do it. ]

The Yeomcheonja was unable to come to his senses and was blocking the transcendent beings who were trying to commit an act of evil.

While Yeomcheonja was chatting about this and that in the common area of ​​the Mansinjeon, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

[ … … ! ]

He shuddered and immediately stood up from his seat and looked around. But there was nothing around him.

[ But why, Yeomcheonja? ]

[ … It’s nothing. ]

I felt like my throat was on fire.

No, I felt it. Through the power display (戰視) that allows you to see the future a few seconds into the future when fighting. Sometimes it misfires, so you don’t have to worry about it that much… .

[ Hmm? There was this interesting guy. ]

At that moment, a stranger’s voice was heard from behind.

[ … Berget? ]

[ Sorry, I don’t have time to talk. Well then, goodbye. ]

In an instant, Yeomcheonja’s vision became distorted.

Crunch- His head hit the braid with a sound of something being cut.

At the same time, the original god was destroyed.

A single attack, a strike so fast it was invisible, took the life of the Yeomcheonja.
