Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

165. Berget (2)

#165. Berget (2)

The number of gods in Dimension Universe #132 was reduced by half in one day. This was because Berget had gone on a killing spree. Few gods had the power to stand against him, and those who did not were helplessly met with death.

In the meantime, quite a bit of time has passed on Earth.

A month. That was the time it took for Berget to kill half of the gods.

Heron used the power of radiance to create a space for the ritual and prepared for the ritual there.

“… It’s easier to be forgiven than to persuade. That’s a good point.”

Heron lied to Cynthia, who was adamantly opposed to offering Han Seong-jin as a sacrifice, saying that he would find ‘another way’ and then prepared the ritual. Naturally, the main sacrifice of the ritual was Han Seong-jin.

If it was before the ritual was prepared, then it would be okay, but if it was during the ritual, then no matter how great her power was, she would not be able to stop the ritual from proceeding.

Because this ritual is performed by the power of an outside force.

It was natural that the only people that the new Heron could borrow power from through the ritual were the new gods.

From noble mtl dot com

The object of her power through ritual was simple.

The ‘Guardian’ is a being that protects the order of the universe from the opposite point of view of the Watcher. As one of the foreign gods with a tendency toward order, the direction pursued is clearly different from that of the Watcher, who has a tendency toward destruction.

——By borrowing the power of the Guardian, Han Seong-jin, who possesses a twisted causality, is linked to the fate of the end and sent to another dimension of the universe.

Preparations for executing the above plan were complete.

I made an offering to the guardian and confirmed his intention. Even though I had only completed 1/3 of the offering ceremony I had prepared, I was able to reach the guardian’s will.

At this, Heron had a question.

The offering ceremony is a kind of process that invokes causality in order to hear the ‘intention’ of the outside world. Therefore, if sufficient causality is not established, even if the offering ceremony is performed in its entirety, the outside world’s intention cannot be heard. Usually, the offering ceremony is performed once, or in severe cases, three or four times, but I was surprised when I heard his intention before I could complete one.

‘I guess what’s good is good.’

Heron, who had heard the Guardian’s will, thought that it was all right. With this, he had prepared a means to counter the power of the Watcher. Now, all that was left was to prepare the Great Connection that would weave fate and wait for the Guardian to exert his power on Earth.

The moment the will of the Guardian of the Foreign News is imbued on Earth, the fate of Han Seong-jin and the End is entangled through the Great Connection, and everything is over when he is banished from this universe through the pre-designated dimensional coordinates.

Of course… before that, dealing with the disaster is the priority.

Because as long as the final disaster of the apocalypse exists, the causality that the Watcher can exert on this planet will increase infinitely. In that case, even the Guardian cannot suppress the Watcher.

Two months from Earth time until consciousness.

Everything has to be handled in there.

“Sia. Why are you clinging so tightly to me?”

“… there is a good reason for that.”

Wherever she went, Cynthia was always attached to Han Sung-jin. After breaking up with Berget and returning to Shinga, she was always around Han Sung-jin 24 hours a day, whether she was awake or asleep.

She didn’t tell Han Sung-jin about what she heard from Berget and Heron. Therefore, Han Sung-jin didn’t know why Cynthia was being so overly protective of him. However, he was giving her a seat next to him, believing that she had her own thoughts. Even if that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have kicked her out.

“Oh, that’s right. Didn’t the teacher tell you to give this to your brother?”

“…okay?”

Cynthia handed over the items she received from Cheonmu Bong to Han Seong Jin. He chose to go into seclusion again, saying that he needed to sharpen his skills after the fight with Berget.

Just before they parted ways, he gave Han Seong-jin a small box and asked him to give her something, but even Cynthia didn’t know what it was.

“This is a bracelet?”

It was a bracelet made of woven tree trunks. It was neither flashy nor flashy, and it didn’t look very durable. However, Cynthia looked closely at the tree trunk bracelet and soon exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow——Master, you’ve really made a big decision.”

“…?”

“This is a divine object.”

“New water?”

“I told you last time that the Master also received the position of transcendence, right?”

“yes.”

Han Seong-jin nodded.

“After being granted the position of transcendence, a transcendent being can make one choice. Either create a divine being, or absorb the causality that creates divine beings to strengthen their power. The Master chose the former. For his brother.”

“me…?”

“That’s right. The divine water is imbued with the power of protection of the martial arts. If you wear that tree trunk bracelet… you will naturally realize the power of self-defense. Since it unfolds with the divine power contained in the bracelet, you don’t need any magical power. With this much, even if a group of monsters attack, you should be fine.”

“oh….”

After hearing Cynthia’s explanation, Han Sung-jin realized how amazing this tree trunk bracelet was. Then, one question suddenly occurred to him.

“Sia, don’t you have any new water?”

“There isn’t any?”

“…?”

“I was desperate to survive… so I used it all to strengthen my strength. Hehe. If only I could extract the divine power and create a divine substance right now… but the divine power is too complicatedly intertwined, so that’s impossible.”

Cynthia’s divine powers were intricately intertwined in the process of gaining a higher rank. The complex threads were so difficult that it was impossible to unravel them. She had melted thousands of divine powers and accepted them as her own, and unraveling the threads meant facing those divine powers again, recognizing them, and restoring them to their original state.

That is, there was a risk that if it was released, its status would decline.

It’s not that she didn’t want to give Han Seong-jin the new water, but she had no choice.

“Anyway! That one thing should be enough to keep you safe! I’ll be right next to you, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“It’s sturdy.”

Han Seong-jin put on the bracelet while expressing his gratitude to Cheon Mu-bong for giving him the new water. There was no change on the outside, but since Cynthia said that he could use the self-defense technique, he thought so.

“Ahem. By the way, can you spare me a moment?”

“hour?” “Let’s go on a date for once!”

The world was falling apart, but Cynthia had to do what she had to do. In the current situation, there was nothing she could do but wait for Berget… Since it had come to this, she planned to spend some quality time with Han Sung-jin.

[ Whee-yu. Are you done with most of them? After you finished about half of them, the kids started hiding and it was hard to find them. How did you get here? ]

Berget shook his hand and looked at the deceased Musin lying in front of him.

This guy was someone I was quite familiar with. He was a high-ranking god of martial arts named Yulka, and he came to this universe with me from universe #131. We had a lot of friendship through discussing martial arts and competing in combat… It was a bit of a shame to kill him like this.

[ I can’t help it. It’s for the good of the universe. But I can’t give up my status, right? ]

Berget spoke to his dead friend.

In fact, if Berget were to use all of the enormous divine power he had accumulated to increase his rank to fight against the disaster, he would not have had to go around killing the gods. However, if he were to use that divine power, he would lose the opportunity to reach the outer gods. He would have to devote himself to accumulating divine power for another eon, and the enlightenment he had accumulated during that time would be distorted, and he might lose the opportunity to reach the outer gods forever.

[ I’m thinking about moving to another universe and starting a new life… but it would be a shame to miss this opportunity. ]

This event, which took place in the universe of 132, was a large-scale event that greatly increased his chances of reaching the level of an outsider. In that sense, he had to remain in this universe even if it meant enduring such hardships. It is not common to face two outsiders and even have the opportunity to fight against one of their apostles.

There are only a few people left.

Besides, since we already know their locations, the entire operation will be completed in two days at most.

No, there is one person left on Earth.
