– Volume 16, Chapter 5
380. 78th Floor, Library of All Things (5)
Something was strange, but there was no reason to reject Einzhar’s proposal. Taesan followed Einzhar and headed deeper.
“It is all thanks to you that I discovered Mr. Levinenov.”
Moving forward, Einzhar hummed. He didn’t even know that Levinenov was in the library of all things, so if it wasn’t for Taesan’s help, he
would still be searching for the goddess.
“That’s why I think it’s right to give you, not anyone else, a chance to see the goddess.”
“Is that so.”
Taesan quietly looked at Einzhar.
His attitude and reaction were obviously strange. He looked very different than he did in the past.
“This way.”
Einzhar guided Taesan to the edge of the library.
[Yeah. Inspiration. congratulations. did you finally find it? You’ve been in the labyrinth longer than me, right?]
The ghost spoke to Einzhar. Only then did Einzhar realize the existence of the ghost, and let out an exclamation.
“Warrior! You were there too! It’s all thanks to Taesan, who is by your side! Thanks to you, I have fulfilled my wish to come here!”
Einzhar chuckled and moved the books. Before long, the bookshelf moved and the secret room appeared
.
“Come in. Levinenov is here.”
Einzhar entered the passage. Taesan, who had been looking at his back for a moment, also moved.
The library of all things was bright without a single candle, but this place was dark. It was as if they were separated from the outside world.
More than anything, the more I went into the passage, the more I felt the heterogeneous power.
[…Eh.]
The ghost felt strange. Taesan
frowned.
‘ This.’
It was very strange.
The energy felt in the area unique to the transcendent was varied, but had a distinct personality.
However, the power I felt now was close to something that was randomly mixed and whose true nature was unknown.
And Taesan was dealing with a power similar to that.
‘boundary?’
But it was different. The boundaries are jumbled
but at the same time separate and somewhat controllable. However, the power felt beyond the aisle was literally twisted.
Taesan made up her mind and went through the passage.
Einzhar smiled and opened the door.
“Ego! It’s Mr. Levinenov!”
What you see beyond the door is the goddess you love. It was Levinenov.
She lay quietly in the air in the large room.
It was a very soft face.
Just looking at it made my heart feel peaceful.
Taishan had met many gods, but among them, he seemed the most gentle and benevolent.
But the energy I felt was completely different.
That was something twisted that couldn’t exist in this world.
The energy flowing from the heart of the goddess gave off an unclean energy as if it had been corrupted.
[Wook.]
The ghost shut up for a moment without realizing it. Already dead, he had no body, but instinctively vomited. The energy in front of his eyes was enough.
[What is this?]
Taesan suppressed his chest. Instinct as a living, breathing life was shaken by the sight in front of my eyes. It was a feeling that the art work made by the hands of the artisan was horribly soiled.
The appearance of the goddess was beautiful, but it was too foreign. At least he couldn’t be called a god.
“ruler! Get down on your knees and pay homage to the goddess!”
Only Einzhar opened his arms with empty eyes.
“My goddess. It’s Mr. Levinenov, yes!”
[You find a turbid Levinenov who has been consumed by the Old God.]
* * *
[…Inspiration.]
The ghost asked in a trembling voice.
[How this happened.]
Levinenov was obviously strange. Rather, Einzhar asked back.
“What do you mean?”
[What is it? That’s the status of a goddess.
What the hell happened to that…]
“Ah! That’s what you’re saying.”
Einzhar smiled roundly.
“Right now, the goddess is in a bit of a bad
state. don’t worry After some time,
he will regain his original form and come back.”
[…Come back? In its original state?]
“Yes. I’m sure it will. So don’t worry.”
Einzhar said firmly.
But the words sounded more like they were talking to themselves than to ghosts.
[Then I don’t have anything to say, but…]
The ghost blurted out his words. Einz Har was a follower of Levinenov. Einzhar knew more about the condition of the goddess than the ghost, so he couldn’t say anything.
But it was so reluctant.
The ghost wasn’t sure if it was in a condition that could be restored.
“this. It seems that the Goddess is also a bit tired. I have to back off.”
Einzhar took Taesan with a worried face and withdrew.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the goddess, but I can’t pray even once. Come back whenever you have a chance later. I will always open the door to you, not to anyone else.”
“…thank you.”
“What? I am grateful.”
Einzhar chuckled.
After parting ways with Einzhar, Taesan kept looking through the books in the library, but the contents didn’t come into his mind.
His mind was full of only Levinenov.
A blended and twisted goddess and the power felt within her.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“Balbabamba.”
Kurleung.
The floor rose and Barbabamba appeared.
[Why did you call me?]
“Einzhar. I know?”
[…I must have met you. Come to think of it, you were the one who told him where the goddess was.]
Barbabamba clicked his tongue.
[It might have been better for Einzhar not to tell. If so, I would have been able to live my life with at least an impossible belief.]
“What the hell is that?”
Inside the broken goddess, the power of the old god was felt.
Balba Bamba thought for a moment and then spoke.
[If it were you now, it wouldn’t matter. but not you Warrior. You should step back for a while.]
[Is this something I can’t hear? You’re picky.]
The ghost grumbled, but obediently distanced itself. Barbababamba gathered strength. A veil enveloped the two.
Only then did Barbabamba start talking.
[Gosin is trying to trample this universe. In the process, countless worlds and transcendent people died.]
It was a story that Taesan had already heard. The Demon God said that over two hundred worlds were destroyed by the Old God.
[So many beings have disappeared. The mortals, the immortals, and even the transcendental ones who have gained their own realm. The Levinenov you saw now is also one of those beings.
]
[It gets a lot more complicated if you go into detail, but if you explain it simply, it’s like that.]
“Still, that state is strange.”
Levinenov was broken.
The power of the goddess and the power of the old god were mixed and twisted endlessly. The damage was simply not explained.
[Because Gosin is a being beyond the law.]
Barbabamba said calmly.
[A transcendental person with his domain will not die unless the domain itself disappears. However, many transcendents disappeared before Gosin. The reason is simple. They can contaminate the realm itself.]
“Contamination?”
[For a transcendental person, his name and realm are everything to him. Gosin contaminates the realm itself. It is very fatal as much as the foundation of God shakes.]
“…Is that possible?”
The realm of God is absolute. No one can intervene or touch it.
I don’t know if it can be destroyed with stronger power like a demon, but it’s contamination. I couldn’t imagine it easily.
[I said. It is said to be beyond the law. Territory and divine name are also a kind of law after all.]
“What is that bastard’s law?”
Beyond the law and the law, it was a word I had heard incessantly. But I still couldn’t understand what it meant.
[This is the most basic principle that makes up this universe. It is an absolute truth that no one born in this world can escape from.]
“…Wait.”
The law is the principle that makes up the universe. Beings born in the universe cannot escape.
However, Gosin was an existence beyond the law.
A thought passed through Taesan’s mind.
[End here.]
Balbabamba quietly arranged.
[This is all the information you can know.
]
[Now that you are limited, you are beyond mortality. This much is allowed. Now you understand why I said that it is a belief that cannot be fulfilled?]
“Roughly.”
The power beyond the law polluted the realm of the transcendent. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that the realm is everything of the transcendent
.
Coordinating the realm of the transcendent was impossible even for the same gods.
[The god of knowledge is protecting Levinenov in the library of all things with his own will, but even the god can’t help it.]
Barbabamba clicked his tongue.
[To be honest, I want to get rid of Levi Nenov right away. That’s too unstable.]
As soon as he finished his words, a strong wave erupted. It was a heterogeneous wavelength
in which the power of a god and the divinity of a goddess were mixed
.
[It exploded again.]
Taesan quickly flew to the place where the wave erupted. It was the secret room where Levinenov had settled.
Upon arriving at the secret room, he saw Einzhar desperately displaying his power.
“Goddess! please!”
The mildness of the goddess’s face had disappeared.
Black tears were shedding with her eyes wide open.
Dark energy radiated from her chest, which had been stained black.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
! For an instant, Einzhar frowned. It was a scream that shook the mind itself.
Let’s go!
The goddess’ wounds open and gray energy bursts out.
It was an aura containing this qualitative power that polluted everything it touched.
Taishan expressed divinity. Divinity
suppressed the gray energy and began to purify it.
[It’s not even a fuss.]
Barbababamba violently expressed his strength. The labyrinth began to twist around the goddess.
Koo Goo Goo!
As if sealing Levinenov’s power, he presses hard. After a while, Levinenov closed his eyes again.
[Einzhar. Is this the ending you wanted?]
Einzhar sat down and stared blankly at the goddess.
said Balba Bamba as he left.
[I happened to get involved this time, but I have no intention of interfering with the goddess. If it becomes a problem, Jorge will take care of it. But don’t you think it
‘s your job as her only follower to make the goddess more comfortable than leaving her in that state?
]
Einzhar apologized to Tae-san with a gloomy face.
“I’m so sorry. I got you involved.”
“no.”
Taesan shook his head. he asked quietly.
“Did you know the truth?”
“…you can’t know.”
Einzhar nodded with a miserable face.
Einzhar is a monster.
It was much stronger than the present Mount Tai.
To put it in pure terms, it would be higher among the immortals. There was no way that a strong man of that level could not have known that Taesan had vaguely noticed.
He was just running away from reality and averting his eyes.
“Lebinenov is suffering. I want to do something, but there is nothing I can do
.”
There was a hint of helplessness on his face.
“He sacrificed himself to save me, but I feel so desperate that I can’t help him. He hasn’t given up yet and is enduring with his own strength… but there is no way.”
The goddess has not yet been completely engulfed by the power of the Old God.
The black tears and screams from earlier were proof of that. It meant that the goddess was resisting.
However, as Einzhar had said, there was no way. There was no way Einzhar could solve a problem that even the gods couldn’t do anything about. It was more like a meaningless struggle.
“Rather, like what Barbaba said…
isn’t it my job to make her feel comfortable?
Einzhar clenched his fist with a troubled face. His fingernails dug into his flesh and blood flowed out.
Taesan thought quietly.
The Goddess is resisting the power of the Old God, yet completely uncontaminated
.
And Taishan knew of a power similar to that of a goddess.
“It’s a very what-if story.”
“huh?”
“If there is a way to solve the pollution that swallowed the goddess, although the probability is low.”
Einzhar’s pupils widened. Tae-san said.
“What do you plan to do?”
Level up with skill
