460. Seventh Return to Earth (12)

Taesan examined his body.

Something invisible wrapped around the mountain like a film.

The power contained in it was not of this world.

it was of the gods.

“what? that.”

Beldencia asked with an absurd face.

“Isn’t it a simple concept of power or rank? What kind of power did you get?”

“The power of the Old God.”

Taesan explained roughly. Beldenquia’s pupils widened after hearing the story, and before long a false laugh burst out.

“A negation of the law itself? Well…

that wasn’t something I could easily accept.

“Then doesn’t that mean that no one can interfere with you right now?”

Even if they are transcendental, their power is based on the laws of the world. However, Taesan shook his head.

“It’s not on that level. The limits are clear.”

It must have been the case when Gosin dealt with it himself. It will intervene in everything such as death, life, and authority, and distort and destroy even the laws of the labyrinth.

However, that power deteriorated in the process of robbing Taishan. The only thing that could stop it was the law of directly interfering with Taesan.

And whenever the law was blocked, magnetic

constancy was consumed.

Immediately, the self-immutability that was wrapped around her body was consumed when she blocked Diana’s fatal blow. It is filling up again, but at a very slow pace.

“Doesn’t it seem like it has shrunk?”

“That’s because the gap between you and me is huge.”

Today’s Taishan was a transcendentalist.

Even if Diana was strong, it was borderline at best. The difference in rank was overwhelming, so the cost of consumption was insignificant. If you want to block

an opponent’s attack of equal or higher level,

self-invariance will be greatly consumed. After hearing the explanation, Beldencia stroked his chin.

“Still, it is an unbelievable force. You’re saying that in order to affect you, you must first break the self-immutability that surrounds you, right? Until then, no intervention will be affected.”

“yes.”

Even if there were restrictions, it was a very powerful skill.

No being in this world can escape from the concept of law. In order for the opponent to influence Taesan in any way,

they had to overcome the wall of self-immutability.

And self-immutability is the power of the Old God. It does not belong to the laws of this world. It was not easy to understand on the other side.

In addition, now the nullification of attacks has disappeared.

‘Is this the power of the Old God?’

Compared to what Gosin had, this was infinitely deteriorated.

I was curious about what kind of authority the other gods dealt with. Beldencia let out a laugh.

“A being with the authority of the Old God. I am hearing it for the first time in my life.”

The next thing to check was the change of Bardray and Akasha.

The two evolve and change each time they defeat an enemy. Taesan expected that a big change would have occurred since he had defeated the piece of Gosin.

[Prince of the Ruined World: Bard Ray]

[The Empire of the Ruined World. Prince of Carvert. Bard Ray. He was reborn with the sword as his body.]

[Attack power + 2854]

However, contrary to his expectations, there was no big change.

Although his attack power had risen to a high level, it wasn’t a great figure considering he had knocked down the piece of Gosin. Bardray said.

[I think it’s because he’s an old god? You are beyond the law. Because you are special, you gained strength without any problems, but I did not.]

“Is that also true?”

Gosin is immutable. Its power neither decreases nor increases. Only Taesan was able to forcibly rob it using boundary lines and spirit elevation. Bard Ray is not included.

What about Akasha?”

[I don’t know either. It’s still in an unknown state, like a fog. It looks like something will come to mind… It’s hard right now.]

“Try it slowly.”

[yes. thank you Master.]

I roughly checked the reward I got.

But it’s not over yet.

Taesan closed his eyes and contemplated himself.

He became the god of the earth.

On Earth he was a transcendent.

What can he, who has become a transcendental being, do and what kind of influence can he exert?

Read and observe yourself. Recognize new strengths and abilities.

” ah.”

A voice rings out. Taesan

realizes something and opens his eyes.

“…If you think about it, it was natural.”

Taesan let out a laugh.

He has now become a transcendentalist.

If so, it was only natural that he could use the ability that only transcendent people could have.

Taesan got up from his seat. His body leaped through space.

* * *

There was a week left before returning to the labyrinth.

During that time, people danced, sang, and rejoiced.

“For Taesan-nim!”

People shouted the names of those who saved them.

Of course, Taesan was called the most.

Everyone on Earth worshiped Mount Tai. He prayed to Mount Tai and

praised him. As a singer, he even made a song for Tae San.

“For Diana!”

And Diana was the most popular after Taesan.

Having defeated several S-rank monsters alone, she definitely deserved praise from people. Belden Kia was also praised by people for similar reasons.

“For Taeyeon Lee!”

Naturally, Lee Tae-yeon was also included in the target of praise.

Lee Tae-yeon is the second strongest Ji-won after Tae-san

.

He saved countless people while dealing with S-class monsters. deserved to be praised.

and among them.

No one called Amelia by name.

Amelia smiled bitterly among the crowd.

“After”

she sighed and slipped out of the crowd. Those who saw her smiled broadly and thanked her.

“ah. Miss Amelia! thanked! Thanks to you, I was able to survive!”

“no. It’s all about surviving.”

She spoke loosely and slipped out of the crowd and headed for a quiet place.

She wasn’t forgotten. She was still trusted and trusted by people.

But she was no longer people’s hope.

“no. what. Of course it is.”

she grumbled quietly. She was fifth in terms of strength. It was a very odd position.

“…a bit sad.”

She can’t be the main character.

The lead role was Taesan.

she accepted it

But somehow I felt depressed.

Amelia leaned her back against the wall.

‘What do I want?’

She herself was not clear about her feelings.

Taesan appeared in her mind as she was thinking blankly.

My first meeting with him was not so good.

Amelia, who was chosen by God and believed that she was the best, had no doubt that Taesan was also weaker than herself.

But a duel ensues.

She couldn’t do anything and was defeated.

Literally a crushing defeat. absolute gap.

Amelia was fascinated by its power.

To be precise, he was fascinated by the existence of Taesan.

I believed that if it was me, if it was my talent, I could catch up someday. I thought I could be on par with that enchanting person.

It’s me who catches up with you.

i’m next to you

With that in mind, he attacked the labyrinth.

But at some point, Lee Taeyeon changed.

She

descended the labyrinth at high speed, as if she had become a completely different person than she had been before. Amelia felt a sense of crisis and accelerated her attack speed, but Lee Tae-yeon overtook her in an instant.

I was happy and proud of her growth as a friend, but at the same time I was embarrassed.

I’m the one who catches up with Taesan.

I’m next to him.

It didn’t end there.

Diana and Beldencia. Apparently, two more people stronger than her appeared.

Her strength was not so great in an instant.

And the overwhelming power that Taesan showed in this return.

The thought of catching up with Taishan disappeared from my mind.

And the place was filled with other emotions she didn’t even know.

‘Is it jealousy?’

Is it jealous of their strength? It wasn’t like that. I was grateful that many people survived thanks to them, but I was never jealous.

‘…Did I want to be worshiped by people?’

Previously it was. She wanted to become the strongest. I wanted to be admired by everyone.

But not anymore. Although people’s indifference was a bit bitter, it wasn’t depressing. There was another reason for depression.

‘…Taesan and Taeyeon often talk alone.’

He knew that the reason Lee Tae-yeon changed was related to Tae-san. But he didn’t say anything to her

.

So did Diana Beldencia. Taesan did not tell her the details of the two.

That made Amelia a little upset.

“.ah’?”

she suddenly raised her voice.

She realized why she was depressed.

To her, Mount Tai was a god.

He was an overwhelming force and a leader who led everyone.

She wanted to be acknowledged by Taesan.

that you are strong

If you are, I can trust you.

I wanted to gain his trust and hear his secrets directly.

Amelia’s face turned red.

“What is it? this.”

Isn’t it the same desire as a child’s desire for recognition? She didn’t want to admit her feelings. I tried shaking my head to shake it off, but the thoughts that came to my mind

were not easily erased.

Come to think of it, she wanted to be recognized for her value by someone from the beginning.

The reason I was tricked by the god of the fall was because he acknowledged me.

It was just a mountain now.

Feelings once realized did not stop. Thoughts were constantly running through her head.

She also wanted to share a secret with Taesan.

I wanted to hear that he could entrust Taesan with you.

I wanted to fight with him back to back, relying on each other’s lives.

she squatted down

“Is that just what I wanted? It’s really embarrassing.”

” what?”

She woke up startled.

Before she knew it, Taesan was by her side.

“Tae Tae Mountain? What are you doing here?”

“I have business for you.”

“…To me?”

To myself, not Lee Taeyeon or Diana.

That alone made Amelia feel better. The feeling of depression disappeared without a trace. she said cheerfully.

“What? say it.”

Taesan looked at her for a moment and said.

“Are you thinking of becoming my apostle?”

* *

Amelia’s face stiffened at Taishan’s words.

“Apostle of God… is that right?”

Taesan nodded.

Apostle.

She also knew what it was.

“I became a god.”

Although it cannot be seen as perfect, the current Taishan was a transcendental figure.

And transcendentalists could create their own apostles.

“Your soul belongs to me. Instead, I will be able to give you my power.”

So far, Taishan has been offered an apostle’s contract by the Transcendentalists.

But now he was offering an apostle’s contract to someone else.

“You will be my first apostle. Are you interested?”

“…wait for a sec.”

Amelia was confused. He needed time to organize his thoughts as he had to suddenly sign an apostle contract. Tae-san waited quietly.

After a while, she collected her thoughts and asked.

“How many will become apostles?”

“You are alone. In the first place, there is only one thing that can be made into an apostle now.”

Now, it was vague to call him a perfect transcendentalist. There were some restrictions.

In response, Amelia bit her lip.

She said with a determined face.

“Taesan. The Apostle’s contract should be made to Lee Tae-yeon or Diana Beldencia, not to me.”

” why?”

“Because those three are better than me.”

They were more talented than Amelia herself.

When they become the apostles of Mount Tai, they will be able to maximize their strength and become stronger. Even if he became an apostle of Taishan,

he would not be able to use Taishan’s abilities perfectly. she thought so

“What are you talking about?”

However, Taesan’s face seemed to be saying something strange.

“You have talent. Amelia at young.”

“That’s right. But more than them…

“Your talent is never inferior to Lee Tae-yeon. Rather, in some ways, it is superior.”

“Yes?”

Amelia thought she was less than Lee Taeyeon.

But now Taesan denied her idea.

“You are great. In terms of mere talent, they are by no means inferior.”

pounding.

Amelia’s heart pounded.

Taesan recognized her.

“I’m serious?”

“okay.”

Taesan nodded.

‘ also.’

Amelia is great.

In Taishan’s judgment, her talent was one of the best among all the humans he had ever seen. In fact, even after escaping from the god of falling, he descended the labyrinth at high speed.

But at some point, something changed.

The speed of going down the labyrinth slowed, and there were gaps and hesitations in the movements.

Taesan knew why.

‘Lee Tae-yeon’s talent is doubt and prudence.’

It is passive enough to be close to a coward, constantly doubting and sometimes even rejecting the right answer.

The reason she survived and became strong was clearly her talent. Even now, when he regained his memories of his previous life, the excessive parts have been alleviated, but the base has not changed much.

‘And Amelia’s talent is her belief in herself.’

Repeat the challenge of risking your life. And I do not doubt it. that he

will win Believe that you can do anything you want. And it actually does.

That was her talent.

However, because he was overwhelmingly defeated by Taesan, his belief that he was the strongest was shattered.

It was fine though. The strongest was one mountain. She still believed in herself and was able to move forward.

Taeyeon Lee appeared there.

Unlike Tae-san, Lee Tae-yeon was not up to her. But

at some point, he changed and suddenly reached a place deeper than her.

And even Diana and Beldencia appeared.

Cracks began to form in the self-belief that surrounded her.

It was a self-doubt.

I doubted whether it was really outstanding or not just a little more great than the average person.

She was quietly crumbling, eating away at her own talent.

If he went on like this, even if he cleared the labyrinth, he could have stopped at a not-so-great level.

Taesan never intended to leave it that way.

‘It just went well.’

He was thinking about how to deal with Amelia’s shaking. Simple words are not enough. She had to show herself that she was worth it.

And the apostle’s contract was the most certain recognition. “I

do not offer the Apostle’s Covenant

to anyone I do not approve of .”

Amelia’s pupils trembled. The face turned red.

It was a joy to stand in it.

“You are great. It’s just a difference in direction, but I’m never pushed behind by Lee Tae-yeon and Diana.”

“But Taeyeon Lee cleared the labyrinth faster than me…

“It’s because she regained her memories.”

“…memory?”

“It’s hard to say the specifics, but she went through a special way. It’s not because I have overwhelmingly more talent than you.”

Amelia couldn’t contain her joy.

Taesan was directly recognizing her.

He told Lee Tae-yeon that he would never be pushed back by Diana.

“It is not Lee Tae-yeon, Diana, or Beldencia that I am proposing the apostle contract. Amelia. It is you.”

Amelia was worshiping Mount Tai. And she was someone who knew what an apostle was.

An apostle is the closest servant to God. He follows the orders of the gods right next to him, and to that extent, the gods do not recklessly propose an apostle’s contract.

I would only propose to someone I really trusted or had power or was attractive.

Amelia realized the meaning of Taesan. The shame I had until now was gone.

“Of course I’m not forcing you. because you’re giving yourself

The idea of stopping it if you don’t like it…

“No.”

Amelia shook her head.

Thoughts were neatly organized.

she grinned. That smile was the self-confident smile that Taesan showed when he first saw her, believing he was the best.

“I love it. Taesan. I will accept it.”
