Karma Chain (5)
Etela saw hundreds of chains extending from the heart of Sacred Sound, connected in all directions.
Even though I didn’t know much about the world behind it, the chain told me its identity.
‘True voice.’
A woman who sealed the psychic realm for humanity.
It was clear that he had entered a state of life and death, and what he felt could be seen by comparing it to the chain that connected him and Chagall.
“Are you… Jinseongyin?”
Etella took a step closer and asked.
“Woo-woo…
The voice trembled, and chains swung from the end of the Valley of Wailing.
A force rushed towards her from all directions.
_Ah ah ah ah ah!
Although no sound was ever spoken, the screams of the soul were carried by the wind.
“That’s annoying.”
Chagall held the rapid-fire sword in his hand and watched the voice.
I wasn’t interested in who she was, but it was natural for me to think a lot about the chain.
“Oh, don’t come… A
hoarse voice leaked out from the chained mouth.
Etella said.
“Rest assured. “Neither will I, the guardian of goodness, leave you to suffer.”
Clap, clap, clap!
Seongeum, who struggled for a moment, shook her head.
“Sirone.”
“Sirone?”
Etella’s eyebrows rose and Seongeum looked down, shaking her body.
“Tell Sirone my words. You should never come here. go back.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Where on earth is this? And what about the chain? “Why can’t Sirone come here?”
As the second wave of pain arrived, Seongeum stretched out her limbs and raised her head.
-Ah ah ah ah ah!
Hearing the screams of the woman called the Iron Lady was terrifying in itself.
The voice said.
“This is the Valley of Wailing. A river whose source is where the demons of reality flow and the fire of hell flows. But I stopped him. Instead, it ended up like this.”
Etella looked around.
If hell fire had flown here, it would have been too hot to approach.
The voice continued.
“I don’t know what happened to you, but the chains represent human attachment to karmic reality. Chains are hell. And those who entered hell while still alive are confined here and made to suffer forever. Until it is purified.”
Etella looked at her chains.
“But I said, no, we are not bound to hell. “We are all connected.”
“I don’t know why. But maybe… it means you two are hell to each other.”
While Etella was lost in thought, Chagall snorted and walked out.
“gibberish. I don’t know about this woman, but these other chains can’t cause me any pain. Well, it’s a little annoying, but if it’s like this, hell is a place worth living in, right?”
Seongeum had no expression, but for a moment she looked at Chagall with sad eyes.
“Everything is in order, you wicked man. Because there is obsession, there is agony. There is no one here who can avoid pain. You will end up cursing those chains. “You will shed tears of blood like all living gods, including me.”
Several waves of pain surged through him while he spoke, but his voice only silenced him for a moment.
‘It’s superhuman mental strength.’
Right now, he doesn’t know what the chain that connects him and Chagall means, but at least Seongeum needed liberation as quickly as possible.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
“go back.”
The voice repeated the same words.
“There is no way to escape the karmic chain. No one can break it off. No, you can’t cut it off. Destruction will occur in the real world. “Tell Sirone to go back.”
“I can’t do that.”
If Sirone had really come to the secret world, he would definitely have some potential.
“I will free you. wait for me. “I will find a way somehow.”
The voice said no more.
All she wanted was to fall into hell and suffer, but there was something she felt in the process.
‘Perhaps this is also natural?’
Seongeum, who was watching the karma chain between the two people, said.
“You are free to do whatever you want. But keep in mind. This is… not a place where you are left to worry about other people’s pain. One day your karmic chain will bind you.”
“We will overcome this.”
Just as the voice does that.
Etela turned and looked up at the Valley of Wailing and said.
“Let’s go. “The first thing to do is to get out of here and get information.”
Chagall sneered.
“Do you think I’ll let that happen? First of all, I don’t care what happens to that woman. And… I won’t do anything if that’s what you want.”
Etella opened her cold eyes for the first time and glared at Chagall’s face.
It was a look of hatred and resentment that could not be seen even though they had fought countless battles in reality.
Perhaps it was Etella’s personal feelings, not a representative of good.
“You are not the only one who can bind me. I can also redeem you. “If you want to see who wins, you can do that.”
Chagall kept his mouth shut.
Of course I wasn’t scared, but when I looked at Etella’s eyes, I felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
‘What is this?’
A stimulus that made a corner of my heart flinch was transmitted through the karma chain.
It was similar to the feeling that had completely changed his life in the real world.
‘Tia.’
Now, the face of a woman that I don’t even know if is real or not comes to mind.
“Kkkkkk.”
Chagall shook his shoulders.
“Okay, there’s nothing else to do, so let’s go. But remember: “Because I will never see you smile.”
Etella made an angry expression again, but was satisfied with this and approached the wall.
The two people, chained to the Taegeuk chain, began to climb the rock wall.
“Ugh!”
Lian, who was walking, suddenly stopped.
This is because once again the chains of Gehenna protruded from the heart and were driven into the ground.
“Hmph!”
When I tried to break it with the power of divine transcendence, a second and third chain popped out.
“Lian.”
When Sirone turned around, Rian, who felt impatience in his gaze, pushed even harder.
The three chains broke with a loud snapping sound, and the source of the demon seeped into the body.
“Hmm!”
” are you okay?”
Lian nodded.
“I roughly adapted. I also knew the trick. But this is really inconvenient. “They come out at random times.”
“Perhaps it is impossible to move in hell while in the state of life. “You must be a special case.”
Is this truly an unusual case?
‘Ryan’s chains burn the fires of hell.’ My guess is that it could have been an error that shook the foundation of the world’s system.
‘According to Guffin’s experience, there was definitely a higher class in the underworld besides Satan’s army.’
If so, there was a high possibility that they were currently being watched.
‘Eventually, some movement will be revealed. I need to find something resembling a city inside it.’
Although the psychic realm has been sealed, demons from the real world are endlessly flowing into the other world.
No, now that the Demon World had been opened, Hell would be saturated with unprecedented visitors.
‘Even if all the fires of hell are extinguished, the hidden world itself will
not be purified.’
What Sirone was aiming for was to meet the person who manages the hell system.
“Let’s go, Sirone.”
Rian, who didn’t want to cause concern, took the first step, and Shirone followed without a word.
The reason I didn’t feel so lonely even if I fell into hell was because Lian was by my side.
As I climbed to the top of the steep mountain peak, I heard a scream so loud that it was strange that I had never heard it before.
“That one?”
Numerous humans were walking toward the place where a huge river of fire flowed.
The reason you can’t run away is because there are so many hungry ghosts around you.
“That’s a huge number.”
The army of hell that invaded reality had so many ghosts that it was countless.
“Ugh! “Ugh!”
Angry spirits attacked from all directions and devoured humans, and those in the lead were being whipped by masked demons and falling into the river of fire.
“Those bastards!” Rian grabbed the great sword, but Sirone opened her mouth with a calm expression.
“calm down. I’m not a human being living in reality. “It’s just the emotions at the moment of death embodied in human form.”
“But… you’re suffering.” Ryan doesn’t know anything difficult.
“If chains represent worldly attachments, then they have no chains. “The emotions may have entered the other world, but the mind has already gone somewhere else.”
“By other places, do you mean the outside world?”
“…Anywhere. Because it’s something no one knows. What I’m trying to say is that it’s not really a judgment. “It is a system where the emotions of reality flow into the other side of the world and are purified.”
“It’s a cold world.”
If there is no salvation or hell from the beginning.
The two quickly descended the peak and went to where the procession of people was.
Everyone was naked, and hungry ghosts, watching for an opportunity, were attacking the people.
“Aaaah! help me!”
When a single anglerfish pulls a human in, dozens of them rush around and tear at pieces of flesh.
The masked demon swung his whip and
chased away the ghosts.
“Get away from me! Do you know how scarce resources are right now? Anyway, angler fish is a problem everywhere.”
Sirone read Ultima from the letters on the armbands strapped to their forearms.
‘Korea Resources Management Corporation.’
While moving among the crowd, numerous people were eaten by anglerfish.
“scared. scared.”
The woman walking next to her looked back at Lian.
“Where are we going? Is it going to disappear like this? “I don’t want to disappear.”
I know it’s a system. But even if it was a lie, Rian could not ignore those who were suffering.
“Shirone, I don’t really understand.”
Sirone nodded.
“okay.”
And that may be the reason why humans must fight in this cold world.
“How can we save them?”
“Hell fire.”
Sirone pointed ahead.
“It will be enough to destroy the river of fire. But even with the light of Yahweh, it is not enough to destroy it all…
“Hey, you two there.”
An employee of the chemical company noticed something strange and approached.
“What are you guys?”
The biggest proof was that there was no fear from Sirone and Lian.
“Why are you here? It’s not your place. “Go back to the original world.”
At that moment, several chains came out from Lian’s heart again and were embedded in the ground.
The surprised chemical company employee watched in silence and slowly raised his head.
“Gehenna. No way…
Instructions for those who broke the chains of Gehenna had already been given by the Fire Company.
“Kill! “It’s this guy!”
The procession became a chaos, and not only the employees but also the ghosts rushed to Lian.
“I will stop it. “Extinguish the hellfire.”
When Sirone stepped forward and radiated the light of Yahweh, the ghosts were instantly consumed.
Meanwhile, Lian broke his chains and ran to the river of fire.
‘Can I do it?’
Without time to think of a way out, he jumped into the river before the chain went in.
“No!”
The chemical company employee shouted, but Ryan’s body had already fallen into the fire.
“Aaaah!”
Hundreds of chains emerged from Lian’s heart and began to absorb the hellfire.
“That and that…
In this unprecedented situation in the world, the employees stopped fighting and watched the scene.
Bubbles rose violently in the middle of the river, but after a while they retroactively calmed down.
“Rian…
Sirone looked back with a nervous expression, and the chemical company employee smiled faintly.
“Then that’s right, where’s the fire of hell!
A flash of light broke through the flames and soared into the sky.
The Dajikdo < Idea > connected to the chain surged endlessly and created a huge hole in the cloud of fire.
Along the chain, planet-sized flames twisted and ascended like a twist, and a river of fire began to reveal its bottom.
Sirone, the staff, the ghosts, and the humans all stopped moving, lost in their fascination.
“Aaaah!”
Lian, with a chain extending from her heart, was roaring, spreading her limbs wide.
