_ Volume 20 Episode 14
489. 91st floor. Ouroboros (10)
New power fills the mountain.
Taesan quietly captured that power. As if he didn’t want to become his, he made a fuss, but the rise in spirit steadfastly robbed the power of the worthless.
“Whoa.”
Taesan caught his breath. At the same time, the status that has reached a lofty level falls. As the effect of Absolute Resistance ends,
the subordinate attacks Taesan.
“O”
“Riji.
The whole body creaks. The mind momentarily reaches its limits and the body collapses.
Taishan quickly unfolded his divinity. The damaged body and mind began to recover rapidly with the golden light.
“I was caught up in the middle of the day.”
If the reaction was even a little late, it would have been quite dangerous. Even though he had his own essence, his subordinates were ridiculous. It was to the extent that I had to take a rest for a few days without doing anything.
‘It’s not an easy power to use.’
But he won.
Essential laughed and landed next to Taesan.
“You really erased it from this world.”
The worthless person who constantly harassed Ouroboros was nowhere to be seen.
It perished without leaving a speck of dust in this universe.
death of the deceased. Although it is a very small part, the fact has not changed.
It was the first time that even Essential, who had lived for a long time, had seen it.
Essential muttered with a satisfied face.
“I thought I could win, but I didn’t expect it to be this easy.”
“I didn’t know either.”
The opponent is a very small piece of the worthless. was only a fraction of it.
On top of that, Essential was pressuring him hard, so he couldn’t even fully concentrate his energy on Taesan.
That was enough,
I thought, to win.
But even so, it’s a confession. I thought it would be quite difficult, but I got the victory more easily than I thought.
And he knew why.
‘Absolute resistance.’
Raise your rank to a level comparable to that of your opponent.
Taesan could temporarily become equal to a worthless person.
As great as the effect, the duration was very short.
Originally, it should have been activated as a trump card.
However, the duration was greatly increased and the load was significantly reduced.
There is also the virtue of one’s own essence, which is the power of essential, but that is not all.
‘Something inside of me.’
What Amelia can’t figure out what Hafran saw.
Taesan finally saw it too.
“You seem to be in a lot of trouble.”
Essential laughed.
“Well, you can be happy for now. You are the one who won. A loser is a god.”
“…All right.”
As Essential said, you can enjoy the joy of victory now.
Taesan raised his head.
Koo Goo Goo!
The world was twisting in space.
Ouroboros, which has been cleared of foreign matter, moves with a creak.
“ruler. Then the truth starts here.”
Essential expressed authority with an ambiguous face.
His essence made a realm.
As time and space stabilized, the main body of Ouroboros came into view from Mount Tai.
‘…Small.’
It was a much smaller size than Taishan had thought.
It was about the size of an ordinary snake commonly seen on Earth.
Ouroboros wriggling with matte scales.
As if coming to his senses, he turned his head toward the surroundings and looked at Mt. Tae and Essential
.
“Uh”
■司.
For the first time, tension appeared on Essential’s face, whose smile never faded even when dealing with a worthless person.
Ouroboros is a cycle serpent.
It is one of the biggest concepts that make up the world.
If they judged them as foreign substances and were hostile, even Essential had to risk their lives.
Ouroboros slowly approaches them.
There was no hostility in the move.
Essential, who was on guard, was immediately taken aback.
“huh’?”
Ouroboros stopped in front of Mount Tai.
Small eyes ■ stare at Mount Tai.
Taesan held out his hand in an attitude as if he wanted something.
As if waiting, the snake quietly brushed Taesan’s hand with his body.
With a strange sensation,
something was left in Taesan’s hand.
Ouroboros rises into the air again and crouches quietly.
The influence of Ouroboros, which engulfed the world, begins to diminish.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
The broken and distorted time of the world begins to regain its original form.
Taesan saw it.
Ruined planets and universes. All the beings within it go back through an immeasurable amount of time and find their original form.
The entire world was going back to before being eaten by Ouroboros.
Essential burst into admiration.
“It is a minister.”
Eventually, the return time was over. The power of Ouroboros, who swallowed the universe, had disappeared.
The little snake in front of them twisted for a moment and then disappeared.
“I am giving everything back. He doesn’t seem to be able to speak, but he seems to have some intelligence.”
“I guess so.”
Taesan looked at his hand.
Inside was a piece of matte scale.
[You have obtained the scales of Ouroboros.]
“Is it a reward for removing the foreign substance? In the end, you were the one who got rid of the worthless, but I still protect you for a long time, but I have nothing.”
Essential grumbled.
But there was more joy than dissatisfaction on his face.
“I’m here.”
Essential looked at the universe with a happy face.
The transcendent, who had been imprisoned inside Ouroboros for almost an eternity, has finally returned to the universe.
“Thank you again. Tae San. Thanks to you, I was able to come back here.”
“no. Because I also gained a lot.”
Her own nature alone was worth the trouble.
In addition, he obtained the authority of the god himself and the scales of Uroboros.
This alone was enough as a reward for the quest.
Essential chuckled.
“Then, fortunately, I still have something left to give to you.”
contemplation of one’s own nature.
Essential said it was possible.
But Essential had an ambiguous face.
“For that,
I need my altar and my sanctuary… but honestly, I don’t know. Will it be managed? And will there be any mortals who serve me? It seems that the apostles have all been lost too.”
Essential has been trapped inside Ouroboros for too long.
Even the immortals were pushed to the limit, so the essentials would have been almost completely forgotten outside.
“First of all, there must be a lot of miscellaneous things to do. It will take quite a while.”
“All right.”
Taesan nodded her head obediently.
I didn’t think it would happen right away anyway.
The amount of time it took was within the expected range.
“Sorry to call it a reward, but I’ll give you this.”
Essential tapped Taesan’s forehead.
Something close to a very small piece nestled inside the mountain.
[You got [self].]
“What is this?”
I couldn’t say it was authority. I couldn’t feel anything from being inside the mountain.
“That is something you build yourself up for. It is a vessel that holds the existence of you. It doesn’t mean anything right now… but it will come in handy later.”
Essential looked at Taesan with a strange smile.
Taesan frowned.
“What did you see in me?”
Taesan was also noticing.
He didn’t notice it himself,
but Essential saw something in him.
Essential smiled quietly.
“I put it off for later pleasure. It’s not something I’m going to tell you right now.”
“Don’t feel bad about it. It is also for you.”
He chuckled and stamped his feet.
The space distorted and the world beyond began to be seen.
“Did you say it was a labyrinth? I’ll have to find out about it
too. Then see you later! Mixed up! I will come find you again!”
After saying that, Essential leaped beyond the space.
Taesan was left alone in the vast universe.
Taesan, who looked at it for a while, also opened the space.
He pushed himself into the expanded space.
“great job.”
The wizard’s voice echoed quietly.

[Quest cleared.]

Returning
flute is obtained.]
[???
Between them, the wizard’s admiring face was visible.
“I didn’t know that you could solve it so perfectly.”
Taesan exceeded the wizard’s expectations. The Ouroboros that swallowed the universe no longer existed.
Ouroboros originally went back to do what he had to do.
“Then let’s listen. What exactly happened?”
The wizard asked with a very curious face.
Taesan explained slowly.
What happened to the inside of Ouroboros? what is the reason it is broken and who was in it.
“Are you a god?”
The wizard muttered with a face that he knew that.
“I guessed. Because no one other than those who could destroy Ouroboros came to mind .
That a worthless person went in there. It was a more dangerous situation than I thought. And essential… It’s been a while since I’ve heard that name.”
“I know?”
“Because it’s the transcendental person I once fought with. Of course you know.”
The wizard said in a non-trivial tone.
“Seeing that the concept hasn’t disappeared, it doesn’t seem dead to the god of death, but I kept wondering where it went because it couldn’t be seen, and it was inside Ouroboros. I’ll have to go see you later.”
“He doesn’t seem to know you.”
“Since then and I have changed a lot. Now I am the master of the labyrinth,”
the wizard hummed.
“The bottom line is that we destroyed the pieces of the worthless and restored Ouroboros to its original state. very good. great.”
The wizard was very satisfied.
His gaze toward Taishan was full of goodwill.
“You did a good job. I hope you will solve it yourself
. I should give you more compensation for this.”
The basic structure of the labyrinth is to reward the adventurer for the work he has done.
Now, Taishan has done something that transcendentalists could not do.
The reward had to be huge as well.
That’s why Taesan said to the wizard.
“Can I fix it?”
“say it. Because I can listen to pretty much anything.”
“Yes, this is it.”
Taesan spread the grip he had been holding ever since he returned to the labyrinth.
The wizard, who had been watching with a smile, hesitated.
In his hand was a pair of matte scales.
The wizard’s face hardened.
“….”for a moment.”
[The scales of Ouroboros]
[The scales of the god who governs the circulation of all things. It contains that power.]
Taesan obtained the scales directly from Ouroboros.
Unlike Biseok, there was no special ability.
This meant that there was no significant meaning in this state.
“Can you use these materials to make what I want?”
Level up with skill
