#169. Han Seong-jin

“So… you came to discuss with me?”

“yes!”

I looked at Cynthia, who kept nodding in front of me.

I thought she was perfect because of some of the things she showed after becoming a Transcendent.

So, for some reason, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Cynthia struggling and having a hard time.

It reminds me of the old days. It wasn’t that long ago, but anyway.

“Can I help you?”

But the question was whether he could be of any help to Cynthia. Cynthia was not stupid. Rather, she was closer to being bright. Cynthia, who had become a transcendent being, was not as slow-witted as I was.

“It will definitely help. But that doesn’t mean you should feel burdened!”

“Isn’t it already burdensome enough?”

“ha ha ha….”

Cynthia smiled awkwardly. I snickered at her expression.

“Since Sia asked me to do this, I have to give it a try.”

“…I didn’t order you to do it, I asked you to do it!”

“Okay. Please.”

Since I finally got to share the load, I couldn’t do nothing. I planned to help as much as I could.

‘Is this a plan for the end of the world?’

It was something I had been thinking about all along. Cynthia told me to take it easy, but a part of me still felt uneasy, so I couldn’t help but think about it a little.

The only problem was that there was not much information… but I just got the information.

The main issues are:

1. The catastrophe of the end times

2. Berget chosen by disaster

3. The ritual to drive out the end

The first of these is a problem that was present in the original work.

In the original, the main characters joined forces to defeat it.

The main characters who failed to become transcendent defeated the disaster, but the disaster was not weak.

According to Cynthia’s explanation, disasters are generally nearly impossible to deal with because they are given causality based on the ‘level of the opponent’.

The original party was lucky enough to defeat the disaster with powers beyond their mortal level.

The current Cynthia can’t hope for such luck either.

In other words, a countermeasure had to be put in place.

First, let’s think about the current situation.

If disaster is measured against the opponent’s level, who will be the standard?

“Perhaps the strongest person will be the standard.”

“Then… it would be you, or a warrior named Berget. However, since the person who became the disaster cannot be your ‘opponent,’ the strength of the disaster will be measured based on you.”

“That’s right!”

The strength of the disaster is formed based on Cynthia.

And there are some additional things to add to that.

This is problem number 2.

“The problem here is Berget, who is presumed to have power similar to or greater than yours. He was already stronger than you, but now that he has accepted the power of disaster… there’s no telling how strong he will become, right?”

“That’s correct. Additionally, he went into hiding to control the power of disaster and make it his own.”

“… It can’t be tracked, right?”

According to Cynthia, the current disaster is incomplete. Therefore, if we are going to attack, now is the time.

“Yes. If they had been tracked, they would have gone after him right away. From what I heard from them muttering, it seems like they are doing this to gain the status of a foreign correspondent… I don’t know much more than that.”

“I see….”

However, Berget is currently untraceable. According to Cynthia’s further explanation, the massive amount of dark energy accumulated on Earth is hiding his existence.

“What should I do with this… … .”

End. Memorization. Berget. Disaster.

Pantheon. God. Transcendent.

Wuyue (武越). Highest rank.

Incomplete. Foreign news.

I thought about it by combining several keywords.

I was able to continue my thoughts because I had heard the information about the foreign news from Cynthia before.

The greatest god of gods in the entire universe.

A true immortal who has existed since the beginning and whose existence will not disappear even if the universe is destroyed. A god who has no interest in anything other than the mission he has been given and does not possess a proper personality.

That’s foreign news.

Berget was now trying to become that kind of being by borrowing the dark magic of disaster.

‘Foreign news. Foreign news… I think there might be a clue here.’

The information was a little lacking. If we access the Akashic Records that Cynthia mentioned, we might be able to get some important clues.

“Sia. This thing called the Akashic Records… Is it impossible for a normal person like me to access it?”

I asked Cynthia how to access the Akashic Records.

“Um… Probably impossible? I don’t mean to disparage you, but if the criminal accesses the Akashic Records with his mental powers, his subordinates will come and blow his head off.”

“…Can you help me?”

“Probably. The explanation I gave earlier was based on the assumption that you would have obtained the access code. The Akashic Records are also a type of external god, so they would block all tricks like before. Even if you were to break through, you would be forcibly expelled. Originally, access codes were only given to transcendent beings. In severe cases, you would be punished according to the law of causality.”

“That thing called transcendence. Can’t I become one?”

“Uh… I hadn’t thought about that… .”

Cynthia tilted her head and spoke to me.

“There is nothing that can’t be done, right?”

“really?”

“About 250 years? With your talent, it would normally take that much time. I can extend your lifespan… Of course, if I teach you and help you… I think it would take about 3 years.”

“… … .”

“First of all, time is of the essence, so that won’t work. Then I’ll think about becoming a transcendent being later… Is there no other way… huh?”

As Cynthia was about to fold her arms and lose herself in thought, the book design engraved on her hand began to glow brightly and black letters appeared. Just looking at it made her dizzy and vomit. There was some kind of writing on it, but she couldn’t read it.

If your head hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, then you should———

“are you okay?”

“Uh, uh…? Uh. Okay, I’m fine.”

When I came to my senses, Cynthia was holding my hand. Our hands, which had the pattern engraved on them, were touching.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know ■■■ would turn out like this.”

“huh?”

“Ah. I guess you can’t hear me… Do you see these letters in front of you?”

Cynthia asked, pointing to the black masses floating in front of her.

【 Volume ■ 】【 Part ■ 】【 ■■ 】

【 ■ times 】【 ten thousand 】

“I can see a little bit of it… but I can’t interpret it. I can’t make it out.”

The letters were blurred and illegible. Some of them were readable, but still indecipherable.

“For now, things seem to be okay… Ah! Even if you can’t see me, I can read it, so it’s okay. Anyway.”

Cynthia closed her eyes for a moment, lost in thought, and then muttered something to herself.

“To set such a condition… Do I have no choice but to accept it? It’s not really a condition that matters…”

Cynthia, who had been mumbling something incomprehensible, suddenly extended her other hand toward me.

“Please hold my hand.”

“Oh, okay.”

I couldn’t refuse because he made his request with such a serious expression and confidence. So we ended up interlocking our hands. Cynthia closed her eyes and muttered something.

[ In the name of Cynthia, who has assumed the role of ■■■’s Apostle, I command that the fate of Han Seong-jin, who is bound by the shackles of mortality, be temporarily changed. In return, I, Cynthia, will be granted the fate of ■■. ]

Divine words.

I had heard it a few times before. When I heard Cynthia’s voice ringing in my head, I realized that she was trying to do something using prophecy.

As soon as she finished speaking, a brilliant blue light enveloped me and Cynthia.

I felt my mind clearing up, and my body becoming lighter. And that wasn’t all. My whole body was overflowing with crazy strength.

“how is it?”

“It’s so powerful… What is this?”

“To put it simply, you could say that I was temporarily granted the ‘authority’ of a transcendent being. Thanks to the deal I made with the Guardian.”

“Deal? Is it okay?”

“Yes. It’s a contract without any particular problems.”

Cynthia summarized the current situation for me to understand.

“First of all… To put it simply, my brother has become a subcontractor of a subcontractor. Although I gave him the subcontract, he is now inheriting the power of the Guardian of the Foreign News, who is two levels above him.”

“… When you say subcontracting of subcontracting, something feels strange.”

“But isn’t it a good thing that it turned out well?”

I nodded to Cynthia’s words.

At that moment, something really clicked into my head.

It was a way to access the Akashic Records.
