543. True ending (2)
It felt somehow familiar.
‘Why on earth was I so convinced that I thought this was a model garden even though it had a dome-shaped glass ceiling and was decorated like a movie theater inside? ‘Now I understand.’
It was natural for me to feel that the virtual black hole that exists beyond the horizon of thought was like a model garden.
━….
━Entered the sacred area <Model Garden>.
━The divinity and souls that have lost their master flow into the caster through the exclusive effect ‘Base of Creation’ in the sacred area <Miniature Garden>.
From the beginning it was as if I had entered the sacred realm <model garden> created by the God of Creation.
‘Unlike what we saw in the War of the Gods the environment of the sacred realm has changed but not to the extent of going beyond the familiar.’
I turned my head and looked at the God of Creation standing next to me then opened my mouth and spoke.
[It’s not the first time. yes? Tower of Trials. You… already knew about me. I can’t say no. ]
“….”
[It would be nice to have just one of the parallel worlds so I would have wanted to see the number of cases where one can challenge for ascension and become a transcendent. ]
“….”
[I also knew that the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman would be my enemies. I also knew that I would become obsessed with becoming stronger and go on a rampage. yes? ]
“okay. I knew it. …But I didn’t do it knowing everything. I’m trapped here. If I were to explain it it would take a long time───”
[Shut your mouth. Doesn’t that mean that you are not the only ‘Tower of Trials’ that exists in the parallel world? I know. Something like that. ]
“…Huh? ah. Is it natural to do this? Because I became a transcendent person. “Just because you have the power of omniscience and omnipotence you will naturally know everything.”
[It’s obvious. He must have interfered with another space-time by relaying key information about me even if fragmentary to the ‘Tower of Trials’ that exists in a parallel world. ]
I gave a cold look and gritted my teeth.
[It must have been designed so that if you cross the horizon of thought created by the Tower of Trials you will have no choice but to come to this model garden. ]
God of creation. Or something close to the thought form of that ancient godhead agreed with a smile that wanted to tear you apart.
“hmm. It looks like it wasn’t discovered using the knowledge and abilities of a transcendental person. There’s nothing wrong with it though. “That’s correct.”
She sat down in one of the movie theater’s seats fluttering her brown one-piece dress and continued her speech.
“of course. Even among the parallel worlds you are the first and last being beyond the realm of ascension. really.”
I responded with annoyance as if I had heard something that didn’t even sound like a word.
[I guess so. ]
It was natural.
If a transcendent person appears in one of the parallel worlds from that moment on the realm of ascension will no longer be reachable.
In fact the parallel world will now be nothing more than a possibility and a turning point just one of many.
There was a strong possibility that the multiverse itself would not function properly in the future.
[I am you. You were forged into the strongest weapon to achieve your own will. I am your ideal and your destination. yes? ]
“…It’s just as you said. Exactly. You are my most perfect sword. It is my ideal and my wish. And that’s why we need to talk more───”
[ no. It’s over. I… will destroy everything with this power which is your will itself and walk the path opposite to you. you failed God of creation. ]
“what?”
[I have decided what to do next. I will deny and destroy everything you have. None of your ideals and wishes will come true. That’s it. ]
“Now wait a minute. Just calm down. Instead of doing that… why not think again? We can resolve mutual misunderstandings….”
[Are you serious? ]
“….”
[ under. ]
I truly felt that they were not the same so I opened my eyes fiercely and continued to speak in hatred.
[I… lost everything because of you. family? That was the beginning. I have always been oppressed and always looked down on. That hasn’t changed over time. ]
“that-”
[I repeatedly made him kill the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman myself. They continued to implicitly encourage us to abandon the Earth. A misunderstanding? under. ]
“….”
Wow.
[Don’t talk nonsense. ]
If things continued like this the mixed emotions of anger and hatred seemed likely to mix with the power of the transcendent at any moment.
[I have nothing more to lose. From now on it will be impossible to even have peace or rest. You just have to pay the price. ]
“….”
[Is the story over? ]
“….”
however….
“no. There is a way to get what we both want. You’re just so buried in anger or hatred that you forget. Actually don’t you know? “The wisest solution.”
[ what? ]
“I want to advance through the hierarchy of divinity that exists in the universe and even eliminate magical energy. That’s it. Then wouldn’t we be able to come to an agreement? “Transcendant.”
[….]
It was then.
“Let’s reset. Eliminate not only the existence of God but also the energy of divinity or mana from the universe… and return to the times when you were happiest. “Forget everything.”
God of creation. The blonde woman smiled her eyes and said something other than what she was thinking. She made a suggestion that went beyond common sense.
“Transcendant. Let’s put down the throne of the God of Creation and return to the past erasing all power. Then everyone can be happy right? “Han Seong-yoon.”
What a crazy story.
***
In fact the words spoken by the God of Creation are simple to understand without any need to consider them difficult.
━Let’s reset. Eliminate not only the existence of God but also the energy of divinity or mana from the universe… and return to the times when you were happiest. Forget everything.
Letting go of all the power I had achieved as a transcendent being forgetting these memories and going back to the happiest past in my life.
━Transcendant. Let’s put down the throne of the God of Creation and return to the past erasing all power. Then everyone can be happy right? Seongyoon Han.
that….
loss of existence.
Because it’s death.
[….]
It was absurd.
Transcendent. How much has gone into making all the concepts that exist in the universe a part of existence? Miracles have been depicted time and again in countless battles.
In this way as a transcendental being an answerer and even a creation god did he not achieve the greatest eugeuk?
In that case the God of Creation was telling us to put everything aside and return to the happiest days of the past.
Abhorrently.
[ under. ]
I answered the God of Creation sitting in the seat next to me with a cool smile on my face.
[I guess I lost my mind. Was that something you said as a suggestion or persuasion? This is ridiculous. ]
Eat.
[Why should I accept such a ridiculous offer? For me─── ]
“well. From what I’ve seen of you I don’t think you’re the kind of person who won’t be swayed by the suggestion just now. “Transcendant.”
[ what? ]
“I’ve been here a long time. It’s been almost an eternity. “And I’ve been keeping an eye on you.”
[….]
The God of Creation smiled evilly turned his head to look at me and continued speaking.
“Innate talent. Absolute helplessness. Even the fate of the transcendent. “Even if you look at the entire universe it is the only singularity.”
[….]
“however. That was it. Your mental defect occurred too easily. Isn’t it contradictory? “It means that the being closest to the transcendent is so swayed by personal feelings.”
[ well. I don’t think someone like you would be at a level where you can criticize me. You can say whatever you want right? Because I feel bad. ]
“no. It’s not something I can say on my own. It’s true. You have always been on the run due to a mental defect. I… just added a little weight to that unstable looking scale.”
[I told you not to talk nonsense…]
“Is that so? “I was so obsessed with having peace and rest that I had such a strong desire to become strong.”
[I have never done that. ]
“Wrong. “If you have someone who can be by your side you always choose to walk side by side rather than being strong alone.”
[….]
and. At the same time as I heard those words I remembered the tragic story in the parallel world I had seen earlier. Even if it feels bad.
“You showed me right? a moment ago. “I’m talking about you in the multiverse where you can’t even bear the death of Baekhakgeomseon and run wild.”
[….]
“It doesn’t have to be Baekhakgeomseon. Lord of Iron Blood…. It was the same for Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon. “You have not escaped your mental defect.”
[ you. ]
“why. You think not? Do you think I might be lying? Then you can check it. You’re a transcendent right? “If you want to know the truth it’s not difficult.”
[ shut up. ]
God of creation. Something close to that thought form repeated his words one after another. She sounded excited and excited.
“Tower of Trials. Every time you reached the final floor you mostly struggled with regret pain and the emptiness that would come. Throwing away everything and burning yourself forward until you reach your ideal. “I lacked the thirst for power.”
The God of Creation narrowed his eyes smiled strangely and continued to tell the story without stopping.
“Han Seong-yoon. You seek to become stronger but at the end of the road you want nothing more than to be strong. “Because we find the meaning of life in peace and rest we cannot endure the emptiness and just collapse on ourselves.”
[….]
Giggling giggling.
“Cataclysm. Could I have come this far if I hadn’t lost my parents in the tragedy called Dungeon Break when a dungeon appeared on Earth? well. “I assure you… it won’t be.”
She looked at me with a light smile and spoke her words then looked at me as if waiting for my answer.
“however. In my case it’s the opposite. I can be satisfied if I can achieve my ideal wish even if I disappear. Peace and rest are not what you want. how is it? Don’t you think we can make a good deal with each other? “Han Seong-yoon.”
step.
[ no. There is no such thing as a deal. Even if we assume that it’s true what difference does it make? I don’t know why I have to do that. ]
I still haven’t come up with a positive answer.
[Isn’t going back to the past forgetting everything and losing your strength a mental death? There’s no way I would accept an offer that doesn’t even sound like that. ]
What good would it be to let go of everything you have achieved and go to the past without even losing your memories?
Theseus’ ship. Don’t you know that it’s a terrible ending even without discussing mental death due to change or continuation of self-identity?
In the end if I let go of everything and forget my memories and go back to the past it would only be someone else’s happiness not mine.
There was no way permission was given.
[Reject───]
“Eventually the day will come when you will no longer be able to endure the loneliness of being an absolute powerhouse.”
however.
“Transcendant. Living as an absolute powerhouse that no one can understand. Can we feel the meaning of life in those days of solitude? “Transcendant.”
[….]
“For you the transcendent and creator god everything that exists in this universe is both reality and a dream. There is no distinction along that border. In it you will ponder loneliness for eternity. “Han Seong-yoon.”
[….]
There was no answer.
…Because it was the right thing to say.
In a life where peace and rest did not come it was clear that I would enjoy my days as a transcendent person and not be understood by anyone.
It is possible to seal one’s own powers memories etc. and pretend to be mortal. It was not difficult to control one’s mood or emotions with omnipotent and omnipotent supernormal abilities.
However everything was fake not real just an illusion created according to my will.
[….]
ancient deity. The same was true for immortals who had become divinity themselves. No one understands.
God of gods.
From the beginning it was like this that he achieved the role of the transcendent answerer and creation god.
perhaps. It might be better to forget everything and go back to the past and live the happiest life.
This may be an opportunity to provide a happy ending where no one is angry or sad. It is not necessary for the God of Creation to do what he says but the idea itself was not a bad idea.
I gently closed my eyes thought for a moment opened my mouth and gave an answer.
[ I am…. ]
Transcendent. Becoming stronger. It was the moment when the ending of the story was decided at the end of the power destination.
***
Transcendent. A person who has made all concepts that exist in the universe a part of his being. Everything is visible in the eyes of that negative person.
….
present future past. Furthermore the possibilities and branching points derived from it. Literally everything is reflected.
step.
It does not shine infinitely.
[Han Seong-yoon]. This is because the transcendental ability of omniscience and omnipotence is activated only within the scope that the transcendental can understand as a person.
Even though he was a transcendent it was a fatal flaw that existed in partially manifesting the transcendental abilities of omniscience and omnipotence in the person of [Han Seong-yoon].
universe. It was a price that was established in a manner similar to an equivalent exchange instead of maintaining the ego and intelligence even after transforming into the great dimension itself.
There is no means or method that can continue indefinitely reading the branching points of the present the future or the past.
in other words.
It is impossible to guarantee that current choices and past decisions will be something you will never regret in the future.
As the thought form of the God of Creation planted in the Tower of Trials said living as a transcendent is a path to immerse yourself in eternity of loneliness.
Whether it is possible to withstand it and if so for how long is something that cannot be observed until the end.
But despite this nothing changes.
….
….
…….
The Transcendent went towards the path that he thought was the most correct outcome.
***
To the true ending.
***
Puhwaak───!
Tower of Trials. A thought form left behind by the ‘God of Creation’ the object ego engraved within it. It pierced the heart and blood poured out.
dump.
“Why…why…? You must know… but…? “If you live as a transcendental person you can’t possibly know that you will suffer forever.”
I answered looking down at the dying God of Creation who was lying on the floor of the movie theater bleeding profusely.
[I guess so. As long as I live as a transcendent I may suffer for close to eternity. I know. ]
“ah…?”
[ however. In other words isn’t that the only problem? Even if I regret or suffer what I have to do doesn’t change. ]
“What is that…”
[That was it. ]
I let down the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword in my right hand and gave my answer in a voice devoid of any regret or hesitation.
[Being strong. My desire for power was due to the lack of freedom that came from oppression and loss. ]
Jump and jump.
[I have lived without even the opportunity to decide for myself. I was always oppressed and despised by someone and had my freedom taken away. ]
widely.
[If everything from the beginning was influenced by someone’s will it would be okay for me to at least decide the ending myself. ]
It was simple.
Becoming stronger. The overwhelming desire for power was due to the absence and loss of freedom resulting from the Tower of Ordeals or the oppression and contempt of others.
Even if I couldn’t find peace or rest in the days ahead I had to finish the story myself.
[Transcendant. As an absolute powerhouse it doesn’t matter if no one understands him. If that is the path I chose because I thought it was the right ending. ]
and….
Sssss.
God of creation.
When the body of the thought began to collapse and disappear I manifested her transcendental power into necromancy and took away all of the power that was within her.
[ That’s it. ]
and.
[ bye. ]
Next moment.
[Tower of Trials. ]
───.
I was able to realize that the Tower of Trials had completely lost its existence in the universe and had met its death.
[Acquire the thought domain <Model Garden> and inherit [Law of Creation: System] and [Law of Creation: Causality].]
I raised my head and looked at the dome-shaped glass ceiling of the miniature garden. The horizon of ideas was clearing in a downpour of stars.
Grrrgh.
Horizon of ideas. The boundary curtain that completely separates the outside and the inside was lifted and various perspectives began to be felt beyond the starlight.
[The God of Darkness looks at the Transcendant.]
[The Demon God looks at the Transcendant.]
[The Dragon God looks at the Transcendant.]
[….]
and.
[Multiple ancient deities make offerings in reverence to the greatest transcendental being in the universe.]
Next moment.
[Many ancient deities use the pantheon as an altar for offerings and earnestly request the incarnation of the Transcendent.]
Pantheon.
The three ancient deities all expressed their reverence for me who had become a transcendental person offered sacrifices and requested the appearance of their true deities.
