Episode 1391. Do you still think it has nothing to do with you?
Elio immediately took out the black bead from her arms and looked at it.
As expected her black beads were sparkling with a weak vibration.
Because of the distance she was not as strong as at Tabula Matap but it was clear that the signal was coming.
Elio bid Sakal her farewell and she immediately returned the way she had come.
She could have opened the Kowloon Belt on the spot but she decided to go up to the ground because the Abyss entrance was too close.
As she climbed up the open pit mine Elio glanced down.
The black entrance to the Abyss felt ominous – as if it were the source of a supernatural disaster – but there was nothing I could do right now.
Shaking her head Elio kicked her off the ground and soared into the air.
***
Londinium Empire.
Jung-gu the capital city of Petropolis.
Early morning.
A young man suddenly fell in front of the Tabula Magic Tower.
It was Elio who disappeared from the Southern Abyss.
Elio glanced up at her Tabula magic tower and sighed in relief.
She wondered what she would do if she fell into the wrong place like when she went to find the Abyss but luckily she found her way back the right time.
She said ‘Is it because you set off when it was dark?’
I think so because the only difference is day and darkness.
If darkness had come because of the Abyss it could have been so.
Because I couldn’t use the Nine Dragon God at all inside the Abyss.
Although it’s less than before it’s clear that something has disturbed me.
When she figured out the cause the uneasiness that remained in her heart disappeared.
After gathering her thoughts Elio passed her entrance and she entered the Tower of Tabula.
Eventually he headed to the Magic Engineering Research Institute with the guide on the first floor leading him.
Magical Engineering Research Institute.
Count Kaby Crazer a magic engineer and 5th circle mage was a person who was good at riding the trend.
He had no intention of confronting Count Elio Lagoa the Grand Master and a scourge of the Empire.
Even the tower owner runs away from him so why confront him?
Instead the method he chose was active cooperation.
He secretly infused mana into the black bead as soon as Megistus visited.
And he was anxious about what would happen if Megystus said he would go back before Count Ah arrived.
Until now Megistus would leave as soon as he handed over the Soul Stone.
Sure enough?
This time Megistus put down his luggage and tried to leave the laboratory.
Count Kaby Crazer who became impatient stopped him and spoke to him.
“It’s been a while. How is your personal study going?”
“It’s okay.”
Maggie Stuth slowly lowered his eyes.
He was a magic engineer and reached the level of Arch Mage but he hid his level of magic and was only his own viscount.
So he had no choice but to be polite in front of the head of the institute the Count.
Count Kavi Crazer who had no way of knowing Megistus’ level of magic continued speaking calmly.
“These days magic towers are experiencing a rare boom with Exitium and magic guns. The more I think about it the more I think we shouldn’t be complacent. “If there is a study you think would be good please let me know in advance.”
“Of course.”
“By the way Adobe Magic Tower recently created something called Thanatos. “Do you know about Thanatos which is similar to the Exitium we developed?”
“I know. Unlike Exitium whose main material is rubidonium Thanatos used nobium.”
“Do you think you can circumvent the rights of the original developer just by using Nobrium?”
“It is similar to Exitium overall but it is also quite different.”
“What do you think will happen if Kyung one of the developers objects?”
“After a long fight maybe we can win. But there is no real benefit. Since the production method is already known to the kingdom we can produce as much as we want by recruiting magic engineers.”
“That’s true but somehow I feel like I’m losing money…”
As he spoke Count Carby Crazer glanced at the time.
‘I sent you a message 15 minutes ago so it should be about time to come…’
Megistus unaware of the head of the research institute gave an impassioned speech.
“I have benefited from Thanatos but I have not suffered any losses. Thanks to the appearance of Thanatos the production of Excitium has gained momentum right? Moreover if only the Empire had Exitium there is a possibility that it would be eliminated again someday. But thanks to Thanatos that won’t happen in the future. So we can say that it is actually a good thing for us.”
Megistus mentioned what happened 50 years ago when Exitium was shut down perhaps because it was painful.
At that time the door to the magic engineering lab opened and someone came in.
It was Count Elio Lagoa.
Count Carby Crazer’s eyes brightened when he spotted him.
When the lab director looked at someone happily Megistus also looked away.
At that moment Elio and Megistus’ eyes met.
Immediately a heavy growl flowed from Megistus’s mouth.
“Hmm….”
Count Carby Crazer said pretending to be surprised.
“Count Lagoa has arrived. “I’m going to go and say hello for a moment.”
Megistus didn’t care whether Count Cavy Crazer went or not.
He could finally sense that his fateful moment had come.
Elio slowly approached Megistus.
Count Kaby Crazer quietly slipped behind him when the two people’s expressions looked unusual.
Elio was the first to speak.
“As a magic engineer Megistus said he has reached the level of an Arch Mage but his magic has barely passed the 5th circle… Is he a Magus (7th circle archmage) or Magnum opus? “That’s amazing.”
After hearing those words from next to him Count Kavi Krazer’s mouth ran dry.
‘Magus? Magnum Ops?’
Magus means the 7th circle archmage and Magnum Ops means the ultimate level.
He couldn’t believe that Meggy Stuth who he thought was a 5th circle wizard like himself was such a being!
It was more than a surprise it was a shock.
Megistus spoke in a calm tone.
“You know me well. Did you say Count Lagoa? Are you Count Elio Lagoa the Grand Master whose name is popular these days?”
“okay. That’s me. Lagoa means pond and Elio means red sunset. Is there someone who comes to mind when you see me? Oh if there is another self hiding inside he might not know?”
Megistus was unfazed by Elio’s meaningful words.
“Have we met before?”
“Have you met? It’s not like we met. I don’t know if you remember but in ‘Sky of Kings’ you died by my hand. “You still don’t know who I am?”
At that moment Megistus looked at Count Lagoa with startled eyes.
“Elio Lagoa… Okay now I know who you are. Hehehe. Hahahaha!”
Megistus burst out laughing non-stop like a crazy person.
When the laughter stopped the old magician Megistus disappeared and a beautiful being who was neither a man nor a woman appeared in his place.
The corners of Elio’s mouth turned up when he saw him.
Megistus was of course Ushas Undra the god of this world of gold and silver.
Elio suddenly asked.
“Kama Devyas did not recognize who I was. Only later did I find out that there was another personality hidden inside him. “But how can you recognize me right away?”
“Kama Devyas is a coward and that is why Heavenly Man did not ascend to his consciousness. But I was able to unite with my original self without difficulty.”
“It seems like Ushas Undra had a lot of shady sides like you?”
“Let alone us how were you able to unite with that body in this world? “It must not have been easy to take over the Grand Master’s body.”
Ushas Undra thought that Elio’s soul had passed over like theirs.
“I don’t live as a parasite on other people’s bodies like you guys do. “This body opened the heavenly gate and came directly over to kill you.”
“Don’t lie. Even if you were lucky enough to open the heavenly gates it would be impossible to come here. “There are countless dimensions in the universe so what can you do…”
“Mana Prass gave us guidance.”
“Mana Prass…. That greedy god has done something big and unreasonable.”
A man named Ushas Undra casually criticized the creator god he served.
“Hey isn’t Manaptras the god you worshiped not long ago? “You shouldn’t criticize him right away for betraying him.”
“If he is a true creator god why would I criticize him? “Manaptras is nothing more than an afterimage left by the plunderers.”
“I half agree. But Shaytin is the God who was robbed by the looters you mentioned. “I know that much.”
“There is something wrong. Manaptras is merely an administrator. On the other hand Shaitin is the true creator god.”
“Talk about whatever you want. Anyway I’m not interested in the problems of the gods. I just need to get rid of your corruption.”
With those words Elio took out the Void Sword.
Considering that the Tabula Magic Tower is located in the imperial capital this is a dizzying act.
Then Ushas Undra spoke in a meaningful tone.
“And do you know that you are deeply involved in the problems of the gods?”
“Oh I don’t know. “I will just get rid of you and return home cleanly.”
“Do you think you’ll be able to return to your hometown if you get rid of me?”
Elio who looked like he was going to pounce on Ushas Undra at any moment stopped.
“of course. Manatras will keep his promise. “If you don’t protect it I will trample the world of Manaptras with my own hands.”
“Didn’t I tell you? A greedy god did something unreasonable. “If you kill me you will never be able to return to your hometown.”
“Explain.”
Elio lowered the tip of her Void Sword to the floor.
It is not too late to fight Ushas Undra after the conversation.
“Manapthras is not a creator god but merely a shadow of the ancient Titans. “You probably know that the Titans have invaded Shaitin’s world right?”
“Let’s cut out the useless nonsense and just get to the point.”
“I happened to obtain a tabret left behind by the Titans. And I learned the secret hidden in this world.”
“secret?”
“The Titans are not just invaders but beings who have reached the end of an ultra-advanced civilization. They could do whatever they wanted. Even creation and destruction. At the end of their brilliant evolution they came to ask a fundamental question. “I guess they wanted to know whether their existence which even God transcended was a product of coincidence or someone created it.”
“This has absolutely nothing to do with me. “Is there a reason why I have to keep listening to this?”
“It matters so listen. This world came into the eyes of the Titans who were wandering through space. To be precise we discovered the existence of the Creator God in this world. So they came to this world to seek answers to their questions. But I soon found out. That the person they were looking for was not Shaitin. That’s why he left behind a manager named Manaptras.”
“From what I heard it’s not a big secret. So what should I do?”
“In the process I learned that the primordial god Shaitin is the true creator god.”
“What is that?”
Elio looked at Ushas Undra with a sullen face.
What she heard was an explanation as to why she had betrayed Manaptras.
“If human war is the ‘seed of chaos’ then my death as a divine being is the ‘fruit of chaos.’ When I die the resulting chaotic power will make the ‘black sun’ rise. That is the ‘Pact of Extinction’ that Shaitin and I made. “That’s why I’m called ‘the vanguard of chaos’ and the demons revere me.”
“Black sun? Are you really talking about the Abyss?”
“It’s pretty good. When the black sun rises Manatra will fall asleep and this world will return to its primordial state. Manaptras has no power to stop the change. Do you still think it has nothing to do with you?”
