own essence. I had to figure it out myself.
But if you can get help from others, there’s nothing wrong with getting it.
Essential is the god who presides over the essence itself. If he did, he would be able to grasp the nature of Mount Tai. It was a question with that in mind, and Essential stroked her chin.
“Understanding the essence… You
mean realizing your own essence, right?”
” yes.”
“Nothing is impossible. Many mortal beings have come to me to find themselves.”
possible. Taishan’s eyes shone.
“But the essence is what makes the individual. If you try to look carelessly, your ego may be shaken. In order to realize oneself, one must perform the prescribed rites at My Sanctuary.”
“Then, if I
ever get out of here.”
“Then I can do anything for you.”
Essential said happily.
“Originally, this is only possible if you give yourself to me, but if it’s you, I’ll do it for nothing. I owe you something.”
“thank you.”
I heard the answer. After solving Ouroboros and going outside, the essence god can help with his essence.
“What good. Now
let’s get to the point.”
Essential grinned.
“Let’s move to kill that damn thing.”
* * *
“If only the worthless are dealt with, will Ouroboros return to normal?”
“Perhaps. That’s more like a foreign object stuck between the devices. If the foreign matter is removed, the device will return to its original shape.”
“It is easy to understand.”
Dealing with the worthless will clear the quest. Essential frowned.
“If there is a problem… I don’t know how Ouroboros will react after that. There is no information on whether it is a being that can make a correct judgment on whether or not it has perfect intelligence.” Otherwise
, Ouroboros, who had regained his original form, could have judged them as foreign substances and tried to remove them.
Taesan replied to those words of concern.
“It will be fine. maybe.”
Ouroboros looked at Mount Tai as it approached him.
And as if to come in, I turned my gaze again. At least I didn’t seem to be hostile to them.
“Then it’s fortunate… but I need to prepare for it.”
In any case, the treatment of the worthless was the most important. To do that,
take a break first. Taesan consumed quite a lot of boundaries while responding to the essential’s attack, and Chaos Call was also on cooldown. It took time to fill him up.
Taesan quietly recovered her internal strength in the space of essentials.
And Essential looked at Mount Tai from a distance.
‘What is that guy doing?’
Essential looked at Mount Tai with curious eyes. He didn’t show much on the outside, but he was very curious about Taishan’s true identity.
‘I can’t read it either.’
He is the essence of God.
If he wished, he could read the essence of even beings of the same rank to some extent.
However, only the surface was visible from Taesan. I couldn’t read the depth hidden in it.
‘There were only old gods like that.’
However, Taesan was not an old god. Although he possesses an alien power, he is clearly a being of another world.
“…I don’t know.”
Even he, the great transcendental man, did not know about Mount Tai.
A look of inconceivable curiosity crept across his face.
He was impatient when asked questions.
Essential focused his mind and expanded his field of vision. I tried to see what was deep inside Mount Tai.
that’s his power. Contemplation of the depths that only God who controls the essence can do.
His vision tries to read the nature of Mount Tai.
Go deeper than the surface psychology and contemplate its depth.
At the end, Essential saw.
distorted image.
A heart that cannot find a form where everything is dyed black.
Essential saw what Hafran and Amelia saw.
‘what?’
Essential’s eyes shook for a moment. It was much more heterogeneous than he thought .
It was the moment when Essential, feeling perplexed, tried to move for a deeper grasp.
Something caught his eye.
The power whose shape cannot be read, and something whose identity cannot be grasped.
The moment I tried to understand it in detail, I felt a strong backlash.
[Stop.]
“ O ”
*77.
Essential took a step backwards involuntarily. There was a look of astonishment in his eyes.
‘what?’
Something inside Taishan forced him out.
Of course, if the owner of the image directly rejected it, no matter how essential it was, another method had to be used. But Tae San didn’t notice that he was reading her. If he, the god of essence, made up his mind, it was difficult for the transcendentalists who were in charge of concepts to notice his contemplation.
Nonetheless, he was driven away by something inside Mount Tai.
“…heterogeneous.”
There was interest in Essential’s eyes.
‘Is there such a thing?’
unknown existence.
That stimulated Essential’s curiosity. He quietly gazed at Mount Tai.
And not long after, Taishan opened his eyes.
Essential, staring at him, came into his field of vision.
“Why are you like that?”
“no.”
Essential shook her head and stood up
.
“Is recovery over?”
” yes.”
“Then fine. Let’s go right away.”
Essential smiled happily and moved.
* * * They
approached
the worthless again .
The intangible aura that was spreading all over the place was increasing, as if it had exerted influence.
“Did you say you could kill that thing?”
” yes.”
“good. A worthless person has no form, but the nucleus that makes up the composition must exist. It is in the deepest part of the unworthy. Just pierce it and kill it. The only problem is that even so, that one is stronger than you.”
“It is quite possible.”
Taesan calmly replied. At that unwavering attitude, Essential grinned.
“It doesn’t
look like you’re arrogant, but… Essential stared blankly at Mt.
There was trouble in those eyes.
After looking at Taesan for a while, he raised his hand on Taesan’s head as if he had made up his mind. His authority begins to materialize toward Mount Tai.
The power of Essential dwells in Taesan. Taesan did not reject it, but accepted it.
[You have obtained the special activation skill [Your Essence].]
“This is…
“It would be better to be clear. You will learn how to use it naturally. Can I get a feel for it?”
” yes.”
Taesan quietly captured the authority he had received. I was able to figure out how to deal with it and the level of the effect, just like his limbs
.
That’s why it was questionable.
“Are you giving me this much power?”
No matter how much I thought about the authority given by Essential, it was not something I would give to someone I had never met. Other gods also constantly watched Mt. Tai and gave them authority after passing them through various trials.
“Originally, I had no intention of giving this up. I was thinking of giving it a moderately useful level of authority. But… He said you might need this right now
. To you or to us.”
Essential chuckled.
“Well, there have been times where I’ve been attacking you, and there are other things. It can be seen as an apology for various things.”
“thank you.”
“done. If I could just get out of here, I wouldn’t do anything. I’m happy to be able to wipe that infernal thing from the universe. I will open the way.”
Essential stepped forward.
The worthless one wriggles. Get up and run towards Essential. It was clear
intent and hostility.
“He seems to have realized that this is his last, too.”
Essential reveals this.
His personality extends his essence. It is tangible and realized in the world by forming a substance.
Essential raises a fist and swings it.
His essence materializes and attacks the unworthy. An attack that is wielded by putting oneself into the attack itself. The power to directly hit the opponent’s essence, ignoring all defenses and attacks.
It was the overwhelming superiority
of Taesan’s essence strike .
To block that blow, the opponent would have no choice but to wield power comparable to that. All of the Worthless rise up to respond to the Fist of the Essential.
Whoops!
Making everything worthless and the power of the transcendent collide.
The aftermath shakes the insides of Ouroboros. The distorted time and space are completely smashed and scattered.
Taesan moved immediately.
[You have activated Chaos Call.]
Ignore the invisible power that is scattered in all directions with the gray color covering the whole body and penetrate it. The worthless person tries to stop it, but Essential blocks it with a burst of madness.
“If you ignore me, it will be bitter!”
Whoops!
A huge wave spreads. Even though it wasn’t a direct hit, the boundary line around Taesan’s body trembled.
This is the true confrontation between the Transcendent and the Old God.
Even if they were weakened, they
were clearly higher than Mount Tai.
‘but.’
It was by no means unattainable.
Kagagakak!
The Worthless builds a huge circular dome to block Essential’s attacks. Essential clenched her fist and swung it. The outer part of the dome was shaken violently, leaving a gap.
Taesan ran towards the gap. Concentrating his mind, he raised his sword. I filled the boundary line and kicked my feet.
Kwajik.
Drive the sword towards the gap and expand the boundary line. The gap opened and the path opened. Taishan quickly entered the circular dome opened by the worthless.
Taesan, who had gathered all his strength, raised his head.
He felt the condensation of an invisible force in front of him.
The condensation was different from the intangible aura that spread outside. It was thicker and heavier. Even though I couldn’t see it, I could tell.
That is the core of the worthless.
rippling
Intangible energy begins to gather around the core. The energy centered on the core took on a human form and appeared in this world.
[A piece of the worthless has appeared.]
The body of the worthless has a size comparable to the sun. However, what was here was at most a mountain range. Compared to the main body, it was not even the size of a flying fly.
In addition, most of the power is consumed to block Essential’s attack
. In fact, what Taesan had to deal with was only a tiny fraction of even the smallest pieces.
But that wasn’t a piece, it was the old god itself.
I can feel the will of Goshin.
Intense enmity towards Taishan.
Perhaps because it was a piece, I didn’t feel a complete intellect. It was like a beast looking at an enemy who invaded his territory.
A gaze that erases the value of the world just by looking at it.
The arm of the worthless moved.
Wow!
The condensed intangible power becomes a wave and rushes. Taesan quickly flew away.
[You have activated the Great Collapse [Chaos].]
A gray great collapse materializes in the world and collides with the shapeless waves.
And being pushed back was a great collapse. The Great Collapse, which had borderlines, was buried in the intangible waves, and its power and value were fading away.
Taesan rushed with the realm of chaos tightly wrapped around his body.
Wow!
Intangible and gray swords collide. The power scatters in all directions and explodes.
Kagagagak!
The bursting intangible energy tries to cling to Taesan’s whole body.
Swipe the boundary line to shake it off.
An intangible wave immediately rises and tries to attack Mount Tai.
Taesan stomp and escapes.
An intangible force covers all sides. Taesan blocks the space to move and
gradually presses it. Taesan tried to escape with the boundary line around his body, but the intangible power that engulfed the space was not easily pushed away even by the boundary line.
Taesan clenched his fists.
[You activated Magic Stack.]
[You activated Great Collapse [Chaos].]
[You activated Baal’s Jet-Dark Space Surge.]
Quagga River!
Gray shook all around.
Open space by pouring
magic, black magic, and everything else .
but it doesn’t reach
The intangible energy was constantly pouring out like a bottomless jar. Even after countless collisions with the essentials over an immeasurable amount of time, their power did not show any fading.
that’s worthless
Given enough time, that little piece could erase a galaxy from the world.
It must have eaten all the countless planets, suns, black holes, and other objects within it, destroying their value.
‘As expected.’
Most of his powers were focused on blocking Essential, but he was still surpassing Pyeon Rin.
But Taesan was sure.
‘I can win.’
The power of the worthless is to erase the value of the world.
That authority was above value. Basically,
like Taesan’s magic of denial, it was a power that had an absolute advantage over everything in the world.
That was close to the concept of Goshin.
The intangible energy surges again. Taesan raised his sword and swung it. The perimeter exploded and swept the front.
Whoops!
If it was a force related to concepts and laws, it could never have the upper hand against the borderline of Taishan.
The problem is that the opponent’s strength and rank are obviously higher than Taesan’s, but that doesn’t matter either.
Taesan had a skill that could bridge the gap.
If he is now, he has a chance of winning even against some of the old gods beyond the fragments.
With confidence, Taesan activated his skill.
[You have activated Absolute Resistance.]
[You have activated your own essence.]
Level up with skills.
