– Volume 20, Chapter 9,
484. 91st floor. Ouroboros (5)
‘This is amazing.’
The time of the world itself was going back to the past.
It was a kind of grand law.
If Taesando had not been the boundary, they would have been dragged away without resistance.
Taishan looked at the immortal.
His body was going back in time.
His expression was distorted to the extent that he was resisting, but that was all.
I couldn’t help myself to go back and I was just suffering.
And finally.
The time to go back is over.
Yoheo billion.”
I let out the breath that the immortal swallowed. Taesan looked outside again.
The square was very clean. As if it had been cleaned the day before.
But people weren’t.
As soon as time returned to normal, their faces contorted again.
The frenzy exploded, and mad acts were seen.
‘Time that goes back infinitely.’
“We are trapped here.”
said the Immortal. His face was more tired than before.
“You have just arrived here and are not bound yet, but the longer you stay, the more you
will be captured. I hope you get out of this twisted world.”
Taesan naturally had no intention of escaping. he asked the Immortal.
“How long has this world been like this?”
The immortal did not answer.
He closed his eyes and exhaled quietly.
Everything looked empty.
After looking at him for a moment, Taesan approached him.
He was completely broken mentally, and, ironically, physically, he was in perfect condition with no loss whatsoever.
Standing in front of him, Taesan opened his mouth.
“I can make your wishes come true.”
The Immortal’s eyes opened slightly.
Taesan raised his sword.
“I can kill you.”
rippling
Gray is embodied in the world. The Immortal’s pupils widened.
“.O}?”
“I wrote it before, but I was so out of my mind that I didn’t notice.”
The immortal stared at the boundary as if possessed.
“Gosin’s power? no. It’s not even from this world. It’s…
“It’s hard to explain in detail. are you feeling it too? What
can I do with this?”
The effect of the boundary line is the alteration and interference of the law.
It was possible to end its life by removing the immortal that had mingled with Ouroboros.
A sudden look of desperation took over the immortal’s face.
He staggered up from the throne and grabbed Taishan by the crotch of his trousers.
“Please. great man please. Please kill me…
He hit his head on the floor.
“Please have mercy on me…
Great Immortal. The one who rules this world. He must have been worshiped by many people. Until he rose to that position, he would have overcome numerous difficulties and hardships to reach the stage.
Like a child, he was praying for the mercy of Mount Tai.
“If you really want it, it will come true. But there are conditions.”
“What is it…
“Information of this world.”
Taesan said.
“Everything you know about this place.”
“If that’s the case… you’re saying you’re going to kill me.”
“okay.”
The immortal’s face lit up with hope.
* * *
“Where can I tell you?”
“From the beginning. What happened to you guys?”
“From the beginning…
the Immortal stammered.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been thinking, but the action was very slow, but I was able to understand it.
“…One day, suddenly, a snake
ate us. We don’t even know why. I just woke up and found that we were inside Ouroboros’ ship.”
“Since when?”
“I do not know. I can’t count how many hours have passed. I just know that a very long time has passed.”
A long time so long that even immortals are pushed to the limits of their minds and forget the flow of time.
He spoke as if he had remembered the immortal he had been thinking about.
“Come to think of it… I heard that story not too long before I was eaten by a snake. The war of the universe is over.”
“…is the war over?”
“yes. I don’t know what kind of war it is. But such stories have flowed among the immortals. Our planet is quite far away, so we don’t know the details.”
space war.
A memory passed through Taesan’s mind.
‘The war between the old gods and the transcendent.’
A long war in which two opposing beings fought over control of the universe. The winner of the war was the Transcendentalist.
The defeated Gosin was sealed off to the other side of the world.
But that was a very long time ago.
It was an era that could not even be remembered except for a few transcendentalists.
This meant that they were still alive from that time.
It was a time that even transcendentalists would consider far away, but there was no way mortals could endure it
. If so, it was understandable that his mind was broken to the point that it could not be restored to divinity.
“Keep talking.”
“We didn’t notice at first. Some of the strong felt something had changed, but they knew nothing more. Only those who attained immortality realized that the cycle serpent had eaten us. But… I didn’t know more than that.”
The cycle snake moves at the end of the cycle.
Except for that one fact,
we knew nothing about Ouroboros.
“Nothing much has changed, so I was living my life as usual for now.”
Sell goods, dress elegantly and dance.
They were as usual.
“But a day or so after being eaten by a snake, the world turned around again.”
The immortal’s voice trembled, as if reliving a nightmare he didn’t want to remember.
“Since then, we
have been repeating One Forever Day.”
“Has everyone gone crazy?”
“Because the time I went back did not return as much as my spirit. At first, some people liked it. However, after a hundred years passed, no one remained sane. After five hundred years, reason has disappeared.”
Clink!
There was the sound of something breaking outside. The Immortal wiped his face.
“They
may not even be aware of what they are doing. It just repeats itself like a broken mechanism.”
In the words of the immortal, Taishan was convinced of his thoughts.
What they were affected by was the same as the stone above.
The bezoar was affecting the entire world, not a specific target.
Originally, it was used to circulate the world, but something was twisted and it was being used in this twisted way.
“There were quite a few strong people besides you?”
The Immortal nodded slightly.
“We weren’t the only ones eaten. There were quite a few immortals as part of the universe came into their belly. There was also a planetary god among them.”
“I don’t really feel anything.”
“This is just the outskirts.”
The Immortal laughed bitterly.
“It’s not that I haven’t been looking for a solution. In the beginning, it was able to resist the forced circulation to some extent, probably because it was not completely stained. Together with other immortals and planetary gods, I sought the serpent of cycles to find a solution
.”
“You’ve already entered a snake, and you’re looking for a snake of cycles inside it?”
“I thought so too. However, a transcendental person said it. It was only the power of the serpent that swallowed us. The body of a true snake is deep inside.”
“…Are there transcendentalists who know that?”
Even the magician did not know about the inside of Ouroboros.
But the transcendentalist trapped here knows about it.
“I don’t remember the name of the
person… but he was not strange at all. He was a very powerful man. We listened to him and moved together.”
The results were known without having to ask.
The Immortal opened his mouth with a stiff face.
“The deeper we went, the more distorted it became. It is… the abyss. I gave up halfway through and came back, but those who didn’t did so didn’t come back.”
“Yes, this is it.”
“This is all I know.”
The Immortal looked up at Mount Tai.
There was a very desperate emotion in those eyes.
“Now… can you kill me?”
“One more. You said you saw a woman. What do you mean?”
“Ah…
the Immortal muttered.
He squeezed out his memory and barely spoke.
“I can’t quite remember…
A woman came to visit me one day. I think I was very afraid and restless… I can’t remember exactly.”
“Did you have straight hair, black hair, and black eyes?”
“Maybe… I think it was.”
It’s Lee Taeyeon. Taishan’s eyes sank.
That was before time turned back. However, the immortal remembered Lee Tae-yeon.
It meant that time here goes back in a different way than outside.
“good.”
Taesan nodded.
The immortal’s face lit up for the first time.
“Now I will make your wish come true.”
“iced coffee. Fortunately…
Taesan heard the bard ray.
Ashen light rose and covered Bard Ray.
“Thank you…
Taishan held out his sword.
“Do you have any last words you want to say
?”
“I am…their king.”
The Immortal looked out the window.
There, countless mortals were driven mad by the return time.
“I am the master of the world. We have a responsibility to lead them. But I’m tired. I want to rest.”
“okay.”
Poo-wook.
The sword pierced the immortal’s chest.
The immortal looked so relieved
that he could finally rest.
Boundary eliminates the power of Ouroboros, which mingles with him, and leads him to his death. The power contained within it dwelled in Akasha and Bardray.
[This… it feels strange.]
Bard Ray muttered in an ambiguous tone.
He did not reach the realm of immortality during his lifetime.
For him, immortality was a great and lofty state.
Those who reached such a state wished for their own death.
Taesan kept the sword and organized the information he had obtained.
‘Body of Ouroboros.’
Ouroboros, who swallowed the universe, was just an authority. The reality of Ouroboros lies deep within.
‘The deeper you go, the darker it gets.’
As in this place, time does not simply go back, but it becomes something completely heterogeneous.
Even the immortal could not stand it and returned.
‘And the transcendent.’
It is also a very high level existence. Maybe a transcendental level that governs the concept itself.
he is here
A very long time had passed, so he could have died, but if he was a being of that level, it was more likely that he would have survived.
First of all, the purpose is set for those two things.
Taesan gathered mana.
Condensed mana mixed with divinity and blackness.
[You activated Teleport [Chaos].]
Taesan’s body leaped deeper into Ouroboros.
Level up with skill
