_ Volume 22 Episode 3
528. 95th floor. Essence (2)
Taishan looked around. A world of dust barely maintaining its shape, where nothing can be felt.
“Is this your planet?”
“Once upon a time it was. Above all, it was radiant and filled with people who served me. My graces covered the planet as my apostles defended it from external enemies. It was a place full of happiness and joy, with no one suffering.”
But it’s a story from a very, very, very long time ago. Now this place is completely dead.
“It’s bittersweet.”
Essential smiled bitterly. Countless mortals who served him. Apostles whom he himself baptized. All of them disappeared without him noticing. How they cried out their names as they perished. Thinking about it made my heart ache.
But it’s already past.
Essential’s face softened.
“No mortal remembers me
. It’s a strange feeling.”
“Are you sad?”
“Don’t be sad. But I just need to gather believers. The apostle is also the same. People gather around great people. There is no problem with that part.”
Essential grinned.
Essential was different from Levinenov’s or Akasha’s god. Essential is the god who presides over the concept itself. To him, the faith of mortals was only a secondary part.
If you wish, you can always gather faith and
strengthen your divinity. There were no problems whatsoever.
“Anyway, I thought he would come already. I talked to the wizard, but I thought it would take a while.”
“Is this the right place?”
Essence said. They said that an altar and a sanctuary are needed to see the essence. But I don’t know if it’s managed or if there are mortals left.
This seemed to be the planet with the altar and sanctuary.
“You don’t look fine, but are there any left?”
“Because it is my holy relic. As long as I don’t disappear, it won’t rust or rust with the flow of time. But… it did collapse.”
Essential stamped her foot. The dust exploded, exposing the surroundings.
In Taesan’s field of vision, he could see numerous pillars and decorations scattered on the floor.
“As you can see, it’s like this. Would you like a little help?”
“Do you need my help?”
“This is the altar and the sanctuary. It’s a building for me. In other words, if I make it myself, the meaning of the altar and the sanctuary
is lost.”
“Do you have such a problem?”
“Did someone else make it for me? Did I make it for myself? Or did I myself make it for those who serve me? Depending on each of them, many things you touch change, so it’s good to be aware of them.”
“okay.”
The conclusion was that Taishan had to build an altar and a sanctuary. Essential grinned.
“I will explain, so just listen slowly. ah. By the way, you have to create it yourself using your own body
. If you use your abilities, the meaning gets messed up.”
“It’s quite annoying.”
“At the end of such annoyance, a concept emerges.”
In order to know the essence anyway, an altar and a sanctuary were needed. Taesan lifted the pillar.
It wasn’t that difficult. Hearing Essential’s advice, he slowly began to build the altar and the sanctuary.
“You seem to be in a lot of trouble.”
As the sanctuary was gradually built, Essential asked Taesan.
“Have you thought about yourself a little more?”
“To some extent.”
Taesan lifted the pole and swung it. Pillars taller than the mountains lifted lightly and sank into the ground.
Taishan became stronger and experienced a lot. He returned to Easy Mode and although he was not in a full state, he fought and won against the Gods.
And in the process, I learned a lot about myself.
“There is something inside me.”
What was half doubt was now certain.
“And it’s probably something related to Goshin.”
Taesan feels different in Easy Mode. And it felt familiar. Easy Mode is a place created by Goshin. There was no reason for him to feel friendly.
After knocking down the gatekeeper, something happened inside him. As if he was happy, he robbed the gatekeeper’s power. Originally, it was a sheep horse that could be his own.
and forced reach.
Black didn’t exist in him at the time. All that was left after pulling it all the way to the bottom were fragments that could not form.
Forced reach does not accomplish the impossible. Originally, the black color would not have flowed out. Taesan also expected that and immediately thought of using other means.
But black came out.
A lot darker than he expected.
It was as if something completely different had been pulled out of him.
“You want to know the essence, so you want to know it in the end.”
“It is not wrong.”
Taishan answered and continued building. Gradually, it began to take on a perfect shape.
Essential, who was staring at Taesan, opened her mouth.
“I saw what was in you.”
Taesan’s body stopped. Essential continued to speak calmly.
“I’m sorry to say this, but
I couldn’t contain my curiosity. I tried to see your essence without you noticing. I’m sorry.”
“…that’s it.”
I tried to pick it up, but it didn’t make any sense. It was also half expected. The existence of the original quality of God could not help but wonder about his true nature.
Tae-san didn’t care, since Essential was something he would come to know naturally anyway.
“Thank you for that. In any case, I was curious to hear what you said. About what you are.”
It is definitely a being in this world.
However, it is possible to manipulate the powers beyond and fuse them to create distorted concepts.
Taesan was a mysterious existence to Essential. That’s why I couldn’t stand it and tried to see the inside.
“But something in you drove me away.”
Taesan’s eyebrows twitched.
“Your insides were twisted. I was messed up and wrong. And there was something in it. Regardless of your will, it
drove me out and denied me who tried to read the inside.”
Whoops!
Altars and sanctuaries gradually take shape.
“I don’t know what’s inside you, but at least it has nothing to do with your will. If you noticed, you could have kicked me out right away trying to read the essence. Because that is your essence after all. Because no one else can see it. But you weren’t the one who kicked me out.”
It was something else inside the mountain.
“Do you know what that means?”
“…I do not know.”
“It means that what is inside of you is something that has the quality to drive me out.”
Taesan looked at Essential. The gaze penetrating the essence turned toward Mount Tai.
God of essence. Only the culprit can stop Essential from reading his inner self. other than that it is impossible
For that to be possible, the opponent had to be equal to or higher than the essence of God.
Whoops!
The last piece is fitted.
“It’s done.”
Essential stood up.
“Then let’s begin.”
Essential went into the sanctuary. In the middle, a man-sized mirror
floated in the air.
“I am the essence of God. It governs the very concept of the nature of the universe. Even if you are a transcendental person, if you show me your essence, I can see everything.”
It is a concept given to Essential. The power that a transcendental person who has been allowed to control the concept of essence can do as a matter of course.
“But you are impossible.”
The fingertips point toward Mt.
“You cannot read that way. It is because there is something alien within you .
It denies my intervention. As much as it sleeps inside of you, I cannot forcefully solve it.”
“…then?”
“So what we need is an altar and a sanctuary.”
Essential claps. The altar, which had been dormant for a long time, begins to operate according to the will of the owner.
Kiyiying!
“I cannot solve your essence. I just provide space and possibilities. You have to figure out for yourself
what is inside you and how it relates to you .”
damn
Fingers snap. The power of the Essentials amplifies as the Altar and the Sanctuary are synchronized.
“What I am going to do to you now is like the trial that I put on my apostles. You have to vomit out your own images and break the shaking in your heart yourself. Of course, such shaking would not exist for you.”
For a being who has reached transcendence, there is no such thing as shaking about himself. In the first place, if such a being exists,
it is close to impossible to reach transcendence, even if it is reached through faith.
“What you have to break is your image.”
Taishan’s eyes sank. Essential clenched her fist.
“Place a mirror on your back, relax your entire body and do not resist.”
The power contained in the fist strikes Taesan.
At the same time, the nature of Mount Tai is revealed to the world.
Whoops!
it was huge A huge image bursts forth that one gigantic world cannot contain. And it gets sucked into the mirror.
“Uh”
o.
Essence’s face hardened. It was bigger and darker than he expected. Essential waved her hand quickly. In an instant, the inside of the mirror expanded hundreds of times.
Something invisible from this dark world is sucked into the mirror.
Taesan felt a very strange sensation. It felt like his was coming out.
and that moment.
[Stop.]
A voice rings out. This time I could hear Taesan clearly.
Somewhat languid but greedy. Tired nonetheless. The voice of an old man.
Got the card.
Black explodes. Stirring in all directions and trying to exclude them. They
try to trample on and destroy the spitting up inner self.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
And Essential was greeted with madness.
“You came out! Unknown! I’ve been through before! Not now!”
Essential raises both fists and swings them.
Koo Goo Goo!
It is the authority of the essence itself. It tramples on and subdues what has been resisted in concert with the sanctuary.
“Stay calm!”
Essential puts both hands together and slaps them. It completely tramples resistance and puts it into the mirror.
“Whoa!”
Essential turns her hand with a refreshing face.
“It’s tidy. It’s been bothering me since the last time.”
“…that’s odd.”
It was an empty feeling. Something that filled him was missing.
“All your images are inside that mirror. You can retrieve it any time you wish. As long as there is no one standing in the way.”
Taesan looked in the mirror.
The inside was filled with gray. Essential nodded.
“Go in. And be sure with your own eyes. what’s inside you and what it is made of.”
Taesan took a step. The mirror swallowed Taishan’s body.
Level up with skill
