429. 84th floor Levinenov’s world
(2)
The gray-haired girl sat quietly with her eyes closed.
She held her breath, trying to feel something.
“…I can feel it. that you are coming here.”
the girl muttered. There was joy and anticipation in his voice.
“How will you react? will you curse me
Or will they respond with compassion? Should I vent my anger and tell him to kill me?”
the girl growled. As if you’re satisfied with whatever results come out.
“I don’t back down. So come here quickly. my prince.”
In front of the girl was something in the form of a human.
* * *
Taishan stepped on the 84th floor.
[Starting the 84th floor quest.]
[Victory against the abyss that corrodes everything.]
[Reward: Imprint of the weapon.]
[Secret reward: ???]
And at the same time, Barbabamba appeared.
“You see it often.” [That
means you’ve done a lot .
I can’t send you down to the 84th floor like this. Because the ordinary 84th floor is too simple for you.]
The wizard had said. He said he would change the difficulty level of the labyrinth to suit Taesan. The 84th floor seemed to be just like that.
[Just in time, Einzhar gave me something suitable. A quest given to you by Einzhar. I will change it to the 84th floor quest.]
[Start the 84th floor quest.]
[Succeed Einzhar’s quest.]
[Reward: Imprint on the weapon.]
[Secret reward: ???]
Kugu Palace!
The labyrinth changes. It sways and moves according to one mountain. And the movement stops.
[You will see it after passing through the passage.]
Taesan stepped into the labyrinth that changed as Barbababamba said.
When I opened the door after passing through the passage at an appropriate distance, I saw a passage in a shimmering space.
And beyond that was a collapsed
world.
Levinenov’s ruined world where everything is dyed black.
It was the first time to see a world completely destroyed by Gosin.
[To be honest, I don’t want to send you there,]
said Balba Bamba. He, the manager, was showing disapproval of the quest.
[There is a world eaten by the gods. It can no longer be called the land of this world. close to their domain. That’s why the influence of the old gods
is stronger than ours.]
The world beyond the passage was very heterogeneous. The realm of the old gods seen in Arulia. It felt the same way there.
[The eyes of the ancient gods must be gathered there. It will start moving as soon as you step on it.]
[Of course it would be dangerous, but wasn’t the struggle of life and death the purpose of the labyrinth?]
[He doesn’t die there.]
Barbabamba said. There was calm assurance in his voice.
[Rather, that’s why it doesn’t matter.]
“…Does that mean that the old gods won’t kill me?”
Come to think of it, it was like that before.
An old demon that I met in the Demon Realm.
He didn’t want to kill Taishan.
I was trying to catch Taesan. As if killing was not their purpose.
[Personally, I think it should be left as it is, but the thoughts of the wizards and the gods are different. They want you to know about the truth.]
The truth.
[But even if I went to that world like this, I wouldn’t be able to endure it. Therefore, we will bestow blessings on you.]
The power of Barbaba Bamba is manifested. As the manager of the labyrinth, he acts on behalf of the gods and bestows blessings on Taesan.
[The usage must have come to mind. It is a one-time only blessing, so use it carefully.]
The gods that Taesan met. The protection of all of them dwells within Taesan.
[But even if you activate the blessings, if Gosin is determined and aims at you, it
means nothing. So, the gods will move directly.]
Hey hey hey!
A ripping sound echoed from across the aisle. A huge clash of power was felt.
[The gods will prevent the direct intervention of the old gods. It won’t last that long, so take care of it quickly and come back.]
“Does it have to go this far?”
It was the first time since the Battle of the Gods that so many gods intervened. Even if they loved Taesan, it
didn’t seem like they would help him this much to clear the quest.
[This quest also has meaning for the gods. Levinenov is a god tainted by old gods. Even the transcendentalists couldn’t do anything. If it’s a confirmation of that possibility, it’s worth the investment.]
If that’s the meaning, I could definitely understand. After Levinenov settled in the labyrinth, sorcerers and transcendentalists might have used this or that method, but Levinenov never recovered.
If Taesan could do that, it was worth spending enough energy on from the perspective of the gods.
[And there must be a psychology to let you know the truth yourself. It will be easier to understand if you realize it yourself rather than telling it through someone else’s mouth.]
Barbabamba expanded the aisle.
[Go ahead and check the rest yourself. Then I wish you a safe return.]
Tae-san put herself through the passage.
At the same time, a very foreign sensation swept over his whole body. It was like being thrown into outer space. It was the feeling of falling into a world where
the laws of the world do not work, gravity disappears and friction does not exist.
Mount Tai crossed the aisle, enveloping his whole body in divine power.
And he stepped into the black world.
The world looked fine on the outside.
The forests, rocks, and plains all had their original appearance except for the fact that they were dyed black.
But I didn’t feel anything. There was neither the smell of vegetation nor the wind of nature. It was literally empty.
This was the world that was destroyed by Gosin.
Taesan looked up at the sky.
Huge beings were colliding there. The aftermath spreading out around it had the power to destroy the stars.
The quest had to be finished before their fight was over.
The quest is to find the holy relic of Levinenov that remains in the destroyed world.
The destination was not difficult to find. There was a place where divinity was felt in a world where nothing was felt.
That was the place where Levinenov’s holy relics existed.
Taesan flew towards it.
As soon as it began to move in earnest, the darkness that had spread around the world began to move. They clung to Taishan’s body and tried to dye its color.
Taishan tried to block it by raising the shinseong, but even the shinseong was dyed black, and the efficiency was quite poor.
After thinking about it for a while, Taesan developed a black color.
Black covered Taesan’s entire body.
Then the darkness couldn’t come any more.
Taishan quickly headed to its destination. Levinenov’s world was wider than the Earth, but physical distance was not a big problem for Taesan today.
In Taishan’s field of vision, I saw a huge building that looked like a temple. As elsewhere, the divinity was palpable within the blackened area.
Taesan entered the building.
And there was someone waiting for Taesan.
“Nice to meet you.”
The man in black greeted Taesan.
[The incarnation of empty water has appeared.]
* * *
He was a handsome man.
As for his appearance, he belonged to the good-looking axis. A cool smile was enough to win people’s favor.
But it wasn’t life.
It was in the form of a human being, but something terrible was imitating its appearance.
‘imperishability?’
no no You can see the remnants of it, but it’s twisted like a mixture of completely different things.
He exclaimed when he saw the black draped mountain.
“amazing. There are quite a few beings in this world who have dedicated themselves to them, but there are very few who wield that power freely like you. Even more, you
didn’t even sacrifice yourself. I can understand why they are interested.”
Taesan pulled out his sword. The existence in front of my eyes is the existence of the old god side. That is, he was his enemy.
The man hastily raised his hand.
“Don’t be so. Could you and I be on one side?”
“Bitch.”
“Aren’t you curious why the gods sent you here?”
The man grinned.
“There’s no reason to be in a hurry anyway, is there? Let’s have a good talk.”
After thinking for a while, Taesan obediently lowered his sword.
“I will.”
When there was no resistance, the man was rather embarrassed.
“…what good. The fact that you came to this world must have only one wish. Come here.”
The man entered the temple.
Taesan calmly followed him.
“Is that what you want?”
In the deepest part of the temple was a single holy relic.
A holy relic in the shape of a small pillar. What was contained in it was the remnants of the transcendent. It had a higher rank than the present Mount Tai.
‘If that’s it.’
It is possible to undo Levinenov.
The moment Taishan tried to take the holy relic, the man stopped him.
“Before that, let’s talk.”
“What do you want from me?”
“it is not diffcult. Taesan Kang. Mixed John Jae.”
The man smiled and suggested.
“Would you like to join us?”
* * *
“You mean to take the side of Goshin?”
“I will not deny it.”
“gibberish.”
Taesan dismissed it. Gosins are those who destroy his world and aim for him. There was no reason to be with them.
“Of course I understand your feelings. They are the destroyers of the world. You are destroying and destroying this world. In the process, you must have also suffered damage. But think otherwise.”
The man raised his hand.
“You are alive. Those who died have nothing to do with you. Let’s see without personal feelings. Are there any problems?”
Taesan looked at the man without a word. The man twisted his lips.
“Above all, you are mistaken. It’s not their fault. This weak world is wrong. Don’t you think this world is too fragile?”
The man’s face contorted.
“Humans die meaninglessly, and even those who have reached lofty heights lose their lives at the whim of the gods. Even if you become immortal, it’s no different! At the light gesture of the Transcendentalist, everything he has accumulated and worked hard
for disappears!”
he shouted in anger.
“This world is wrong! It’s a wrong world!”
Taesan did not deny the man’s words.
Right away, the god of the fall showed the man he was talking about. He blocked many talented mortals from their possibilities and treated them as his own toys.
It wasn’t necessarily limited to the god of the fall. The demons of Beguesetta are the gods of that place. They were driven to extinction by Harmon. And Harmon,
along with Beguecetta, was crushed by the Demon God.
Many lives would have died in the process.
Most transcendents have no respect for mortals. That was Taesan’s conclusion. Even the demons cared for the demons, but they had no interest in humans.
Taesan looked at the man.
“You were immortal.”
“okay. But I almost lost everything to the goddamn transcendental tricks. In the process, a great person saved me.”
The man smiled grimly.
“I gave myself to them. One who becomes the incarnation of the Great One and does His will. That is who I am.”
“So what are you going to do with me?”
Taesan said nonchalantly.
“Gosin is an exiled being. You intervene in the world somehow, but in the end you are still a loser.”
“no.”
The man laughed.
“Taesan. If you are, you will be feeling it.
Their influence grows stronger with time. Do you know what that means? It means that the seal of the Transcendentalists who banished them is weakening!”
Kuuuung!
Waves of enormous power burst from the other side of the sky.
Black began to devour the world from beyond the universe. Although the beings who seemed to be transcendental suppressed it, the black color left an indelible scar on the world.
The man burst into madness.
“They will be back soon! To this world from which they were exiled! Then he will trample on everything and return the world to its original form!”
