Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

173. Finally (2)

#173. Finally (2)

In the empty space, a colorless dark light was flashing. It was a heterogeneous space made entirely of white.

Berget was currently sitting cross-legged in the depths of the void.

He closed his eyes, placed the backs of his hands on his knees, and concentrated on the memorization.

Berget, who had fallen into a state of nothingness, slowly moved the moonless sky to achieve his goal while maintaining color alone in the colorless space.

Chosen as the final disaster, a massive amount of dark energy seeped into Berget’s body, and the dark energy was slowly blending into the energy of the Moonless under his control.

The origin of memorization is energy that comes from emptiness.

It was natural that the energy would be amplified as it touched the source. As the secret energy was amplified, it naturally became difficult to control it, and the probability of failure in control also increased. It’s not like Berget didn’t know that.

‘The rampage of the mind is necessary… but the risk must be taken.’

Even if you barely managed to prevent a disaster, if your mind starts to run wild, all your efforts to prevent it could be in vain. It’s a dangerous situation where your life’s achievements could end up in vain.

By combining Wuyue and Amki, he receives the power of an outsider, and through that, he gains power of a higher dimension.

To do that, I needed to memorize as much as possible.

The more you memorize, the greater the risk, but the greater the chance of success.

One chance.

Only now, when the apocalypse has come to the universe and you have been chosen as a disaster, can you feel the dark energy only at this time.

The full-color light pushed away the colorless darkness, and Berget’s vision returned to normal. His pupils, which had been dyed black, returned to their original white, and his skin, which had been dyed in darkness, also returned to its original color.

But it started from now.

Pubbubububububu——!

The dark energy that had spread throughout his body exploded. Berget’s arms were blown off, and his legs disappeared. The power of the explosion was enough to instantly blow away the body of a transcendent being who had reached the highest level among the upper ranks.

The explosion did not end with one. It continued to explode, destroying his body over and over again. The first stage was a battle of endurance and regeneration.

However, it does not end with simply enduring and regenerating the body.

As I said before, the most important thing in this process is to ‘feel the secret energy’. Feel the secret energy, digest it, and use it as food for the moonless.

He felt the dark energy while enduring the process of suffering and pushed it into Muwol, and Muwol was gradually assimilating with the dark energy and melting it away during the process.

The dark energy that had stained the skin and eyes before the explosion was not driven out. It was spread to various parts of the body. It was distributed throughout the body in an amount that could withstand the impact. If it were to explode while gathering in a specific place, it would not be able to handle it on its own.

When the condensed secret energy explodes, it is not just the body that is lost. The soul that is synchronized to that area is also completely blown away. That is why if you do not disperse it, you can be screwed in an instant.

Berget knew it.

‘… So far, everything has gone smoothly.’

The absorption of the secret weapon was proceeding without any problems, except for the soul-bursting pain.

Little by little, I was getting closer to a new world.

“Ah… Rather than that… I think you probably got it by now?”

Cynthia looked at Heron and expanded her divine power. However, at some point, the divine power was blocked by a curtain and could not advance further. It seemed to be a barrier that concealed this space. Looking at the moonlight that covered Berget, it seemed like he had created the barrier.

“Hmm… I guess you got it.”

“what?”

“It’s the origin of God.”

“…?”

“I gave it to my brother. I gained the authority, but my body is so weak… Even Berget has returned, and it’s a bit much to live in this dangerous world relying on only one divine object, right?”

“No, no. That’s not the question… … Identity. The identity I know, right? You divided that identity? The identity that is the source of the transcendent?”

Heron continued speaking in a flustered manner.

“I didn’t… hear you right? Huh?”

“That’s right. That’s it.”

“… I’m not crazy. What is it?”

Heron opened his eyes wide and asked Cynthia.

“…Was that supposed to be divided in the first place?”

“You haven’t tried?”

“… I haven’t tried it. Is there anything I could die from if I tried it?”

“Then shall I try it for you? I think I can do it.”

“… … No. I’m not only reluctant to do it, but I also have no reason to do it. There’s no one who can share it with me like you do.”

Heron waved his hand with a serious expression. Splitting the identity? He didn’t know how Cynthia split it, but he didn’t want to do it.

She calmly controlled her mind and thoughts.

Cynthia is an extra-normal being. She is an alien messenger who is incomprehensible and beyond common sense. Therefore, common sense should not be applied to her.

Thinking this way made me feel better. After that, Heron asked questions about factors that had a significant impact on each other’s futures, even though he didn’t understand them.

“Rather than that, you’re sharing your identity. Is that okay? It looks like we’ll have to fight Berget soon… I’m not in a position to say this, but I’m saying this because we’re in a position where we have to stop the apocalypse together.”

“Oh, that? Anyway, I can compensate for the power I received from the Guardian, so there’s no particular problem. It’s convenient to be an agent of a foreign messenger at times like this.”

“…the apostle of foreign news.”

“I’m an agent.”

“… Anyway. What on earth happened to that agent? I want to hear the details.”

Heron looked at Cynthia carefully.

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t easily accept that this stupid girl had become stronger than me. She had lived hundreds of years longer than me, and she had only just become a Transcendent, so she hadn’t even properly accumulated divine powers yet…

“Why now?”

Cynthia’s speech returned to her usual tone. She often changed her speech when dealing with Heron, but now that they had decided not to sacrifice Han Seong-jin over the common enemy of Berget and the End, she thought there would be no more conflict.

“… If you don’t like it, you don’t have to say anything.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it. I just did a quick check on work and I have to go home… I’ll keep it brief.”

Heron nodded repeatedly. The experience of being an apostle of a foreign god is not something that can be easily heard. It may be something special and unique, and it may be a method that others cannot follow, but simply hearing it can be helpful someday.

If you’re lucky, you might even become a Guardian or an apostle of another foreign god.

Although Heron had already risen to a higher rank, she still had a thirst for power, so she wanted to hear from Cynthia about the apostles (agents) of the foreign gods.

“I was lucky. I fell into Langrt and became a Transcendentalist… Then, when I thought I would die from the disaster that was in Langrt, I was saved by someone who was an apostle of an outsider. An apostle of my previous guardian. After that, I trained in the realm created by her power, and with her help, I achieved a higher rank, and in order to be recognized for that rank, I received help from an outsider and received the position of Acting Apostle.”

“… This is an unbelievable story.”

“Isn’t that the case with all things related to foreign news? In the first place, it’s incomprehensible that the Earth will end and that the fate of the universe will stop at that moment.”

The fate of the Earth and the fate of the universe are connected in a way that even the knowledge and brain of a transcendent being cannot understand. It is truly beyond understanding. There were many things like this related to foreign news.

“Then, shall we go back? I think my brother is out too. He must have come up with a plan.”

“…I wonder what it will be like.”

Heron accepted Cynthia’s words with a displeased expression.

“Just wait and see. You’re amazing.”

“…okay.”

“This is… a key?”

What Illien gave me was a key.

To be exact, ‘something shaped like a key’.

It looked like a key, but it wasn’t designed to act as a key.

It may sound like nonsense, but it’s true.

The key is just a facade.

What is contained within it is ‘power’.

Although it was made of divine power, it was something essentially different from divine power itself.

The moment I saw it, I felt a strong impulse.

‘… I want to eat this.’

The impulse started from a lack, and I tried hard to suppress the impulse I felt for the first time in my life, but I couldn’t.

This was a matter of will, but it was something I couldn’t solve. Although my authority had reached transcendence, my consciousness itself was far below the cutoff point of a typical transcendent being.

That’s why I couldn’t resist the urge to lack.

I, who have the key to fill in what is lacking, hold it… .

‘Can I eat it? Sia gave it to me.’

Swallowed.

From noble mtl dot com

Gulp. The moment I swallowed, the key went up through my esophagus and naturally melted into my body. And at the same time, a peculiar sound rang out.

Clank- It was the sound of a lock opening. The key was not physically sucked in, but was absorbed into the soul, opening something.

There was no feeling of alienation.

The key was tailored to fit me perfectly and was absorbed into me without any resistance.

and….

The moment the key is absorbed.

White light emanated from both eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
