Part 2, Episode 103:
Archeopteryx, who presides over Void Rock.
The owner of a large universe with numerous constellations.
The Great Constellation is leading the constellation war.
Taehyun’s body stiffened at his sudden appearance.
No, the only thing that is solid is my thoughts.
In reality, his body did not exist anywhere.
‘What… is… what…’
Thinking slows down due to the imprinted sense of intimidation.
What came to mind as my thoughts slowed down was the last moment I confronted him.
A predator of the three thousand worlds of the lower constellations.
Even when its strength was intact, it could not escape Archeopteryx.
Now there is neither the power of the predator nor the yoma who will come to help.
I was pressured and struggled to stop my thoughts.
at that time.
The words Noname passed through my mind.
[It seems like you enjoy time travel?]
Time travel.
A fleeting memory comes to mind.
I was able to recognize what kind of situation I was in.
Around the same time.
The polymorphic Archeopteryx opened its mouth.
[It’s boring.]
The space vibrates with that single word.
Pain surged through Taehyun’s head as he received the emotions in front of his eyes.
The head. Even though it is a body part that does not exist to me right now.
I feel dizzy and my vision is blurred, as if my brain is in a concussion.
‘I need to come to my senses…’
It will only last a few seconds.
My mind was in tatters, as if I had been hit directly by thousands of years of time.
Tiring.
[Strengthens the consciousness of ‘Kim Tae-hyeon’.]
[Strengthens the will of the ‘Destroyer of the Three Thousand Worlds’.]
[Strengthens the source of the ‘Predator of the Three Thousand Worlds’.]
Three messages appeared in my mind.
At the same time, my head, which had been muddled, becomes clear.
When I came to my senses again.
In front of me, I saw a constellation bowing its head.
Although it was different from what he remembered, it was someone Taehyun also knew.
Advanced Constellation ‘Blood seeping into the red wings’.
[What can I do?]
He asked politely, bowing his head.
The trembling of facing a holy being was evident in his voice.
It looks like a mixture of a bird and a human.
Archeopteryx, which took the form of a bird-man, looked down at the small bird at its feet.
[Only to that extent. Would you like to please me? I’m disappointed.]
[Please give me any orders. I will assume the status of a mid-level constellation and live up to your expectations.]
Archeopteryx laughed at the sacred loyalty of the constellation.
[I am the one who knows everything through the Void Book.]
[…..]
[I am the one who sees not only the past and present, but also the future.]
And yet.
[Are you saying you are confident in making me happy? Garuda.]
The body of the constellation whose true name was called trembled slightly.
In front of the Great Constellation, anyone is reduced to a poor creation.
It was no different from Garuda, who reigned as a god in his own universe.
[Ha hamyeong… I sacrifice my whole life…]
[Hmm…]
Archeopteryx placed its hand on its beak.
A troubled being.
Below the great constellation.
He imitated the actions of beings who had insight into everything.
If you take this action:
Because interesting thoughts actually come to mind.
Like right now.
[Your loyalty is also useful. Just now, an interesting thought occurred to me.]
[Please tell me… I will listen closely.]
Garuda lowered his head in a prostrating position.
I will fulfill any order.
He said he would do anything for the owner of Void Rock.
To prove my loyalty, I made a promise again and again and bowed my head like a thirsty person.
[Bring the head of the ‘monster’.]
[…..!!]
Garuda’s surprised body stiffened.
Strange.
He is a being on par with Archeopteryx, something that even a minor constellation like himself cannot describe.
This is because it is a great constellation that has formed a huge power.
It is telling you to bring that person’s head.
Even if it’s a joke, it’s something that makes me shiver.
[If you say monster…]
Garuda’s voice trembled violently as he spoke of the gigantic being.
Hundreds of strands of shiny hair have already fallen out and are scattering around.
[A nasty guy who has mutants from each universe at his feet. A treacherous guy plotting a sinister plan while being guarded by high-ranking constellations.]
[Uh… oh…]
Garuda’s shape began to tremble.
This is because they could not handle the hostility of Archeopteryx contained in the words introducing the strange creature.
Archeopteryx, who was watching, clicked his tongue.
[What can you do with something like that? The moment you enter the realm of the strange, those puny wings will be torn to shreds and trampled upon. It is obvious that they will turn you into a hybrid and use it as a means of mocking me.]
[Sorry for my sin…]
[Go back. Next time I visit, it would be nice to see him become a high-level constellation.]
[…..!!]
I want a middle-level constellation to become a high-level constellation.
That is a request that borders on the impossible.
However, compared to bringing back the head of a monster, it is also a request that is completely possible.
The orders of the Great Holy See were absolute.
thud.
Garuda quickly retreated with his head stuck.
The only thing left in the empty space was Archeopteryx, which had the appearance of a bird.
[How long are you planning on hiding?]
In response to the vague question, a bright light flashed in the spot where Garuda was a moment ago.
The light formed a shape without any features.
[After all, it is the entity that governs Void Rock. Your eyes cannot deceive you.]
[You seem to be looking down on your own status too much, Changseong.]
Archeopteryx shook its head at the revealed being.
The name of the constellation is ‘Changseong (昌星), who designs the Changseong (昌盛)’.
Among the great constellations, there are none that are unusual, but he was a particularly notable one.
He has the power of creation and, as his name suggests, he is a nerd who enjoys wandering alone and creating new universes.
From the microcosm with the possibility of the birth of a lesser constellation to the macrocosm with the possibility of the birth of a major constellation.
The power he possessed was beyond wonder and was worthy of being called the father of all constellations.
Although it has a following, it does not seek to lead it and can travel anywhere without being invited by the Great Constellation.
A constellation that is freer than anyone else in the universe.
That was Changseong in front of me.
[What kind of universe have you created this time?]
A smile appeared on Archeopteryx’s mouth.
It was a pure smile, different from when he faced Garuda.
It was also the image of the owner that Garuda wanted to see by sacrificing his life.
[It’s difficult to answer. There are two universes that were born.]
[Hoo. I heard before that you don’t make more than one thing at a time?]
[Not everything goes as planned. Don’t you know too? How difficult it is to create something from nothing.]
I know.
Because it’s something I find myself complaining about whenever I have time.
[so. If you came here, there must be a reason.]
[A new macrocosm has been created.]
[…..]
The entire space became distorted at the word ‘macrocosm.’
It was evidence that Archeopteryx, which was only feeling bored, expressed some emotion.
[Keep talking.]
[I just came here to watch the birth of hundreds of living things. Each of them has the status of a high-level constellation.]
In the early state of the universe, there were hundreds of high-level constellations.
It is a force of existence that cannot be handled unless it is at the scale of the macrocosm.
Also, judging from the experience so far, it was a suitable environment for the birth of a new great constellation.
[What is the reason you are telling me that?]
[Because I want you to protect that universe.]
[Me?]
Unlike smiling inside.
Archeopteryx tilted its head.
[Why do you think that is so? I wouldn’t know that the emergence of a new great constellation could be a threat to me as well.]
[The acting has increased after constantly accepting the babies who have just become constellations.]
The birth of the great universe means the emergence of a new great constellation in the near future.
obviously.
Not all great constellations welcomed the appearance of someone who was their equal.
Changseong smiled slyly with a face without features.
[I admit that I was intrigued for a moment like this.]
[I came here because I like seeing you like this.]
Archeopteryx and Changseong exchanged sly smiles.
[I said there is another universe. Is that also a macrocosm?]
[No. It’s… difficult to grade.]
[…..?]
[There was a fight between the first living creatures in the process of creating the macrocosm.] It’s
called a fight, but it probably wasn’t a simple battle.
Most likely, a hell would have unfolded where the universe would be torn apart and fragments of existence would scatter.
Archeopteryx’s guess was not wrong.
[It appears that one of them had the power of creation.]
[This is surprising.]
The power of creation is not a power that is easily born.
Even including the great constellation Changseong, as well as all lower to upper constellations, the number is less than five.
But in the universe he created, even a high-level constellation was born with the power of creation.
It will be a special experience for Changseong, who created tens of thousands of universes.
[okay. But in times of crisis, he creates another universe and escapes.]
Archeopteryx nodded as if to continue.
[It is clearly a high-level constellation… but it seems that the use of its power is still clumsy. They created a universe of a strange shape.]
[A strange universe?]
The original universe had one form. Or it comes in two forms.
It is a kind of safety device to prevent the universe from exploding despite various possibilities.
however.
[There are three layers that make up the universe. First, we created two worlds and created one more world to act as a buffer. It’s no different from a garbage planet that might explode at any moment, but it’s an interesting universe for the first time I created it.]
Changseong opened up about the composition of the universe he observed.
He said that the two worlds have already been completed to some extent, and the third world caught in the middle is growing infinitely, forming a second dimension on its own.
[It is not a world where a constellation can be born.]
[Common sense says so.]
[So. What happened to the guy who created a new universe and ran away? Is he reigning as the god of the universe?]
[He is imitating the Creator without being aware of his own existence.]
[Interesting.]
A high-level constellation born in the place where the Great Constellation was supposed to be born.
He is playing as the creator in a new universe he created as if he was running away.
A side story that occurred during the birth of the macrocosm.
The story was enough to arouse the interest of the Great Constellation.
[The purpose of coming here is not to talk about things that are difficult to grade in a microcosm. Now let’s get to the point. There must be a reason why you want me to protect the large universe, right?] Changseong
shrugged his shoulders at the sight of Archeopteryx asking with a straight face.
To relieve pressure.
It was an act in its own way.
Just as Archeopteryx is looking through Changseong.
Changseong was also intended to show that he was seeing through Archeopteryx.
[I heard an interesting rumor.]
[Rumor? This is my first time hearing this.]
[If it’s just a joke, stop it. Although I have no power, you probably don’t know
that there are many people who fear me.] [Children tend to talk non-stop.]
[…..]
[…..]
The two constellations’ eyes met in the air for a moment. The space around me trembled.
In that moment.
One adjacent microcosm was affected close to extinction.
The first one to raise its hand was Archeopteryx.
[I can’t stand it.]
Before he knew it, he was holding the Void Rock in both hands.
[Constellation War. The constellations are preparing a new type of war.]
