553. The usurper’s treasure chest (11)
“Three.”
There were as many as three powers usurped this time. So far, the rise in spirit level was a tangible achievement considering that only one authority could be stolen.
As it turned into a spiritual usurpation, it was no longer just about defeating and stealing its power. With Taesan’s will, he was able to swallow the opponent itself and make it his whole.
As a result of the overwhelming reduction in losses, it seemed that three were usurped.
“Whoa.”
Taesan caught his breath.
The forces that showed the bottom were all recovered in the process of usurping the usurper. Not only that, but it has also reached a higher level.
‘It’s rising to the point of divinity.’
Not only black, but also usurped divinity.
The part of the usurper
meant that he even had divinity. Being an existence that usurped the concept of the universe, it was not strange even if it had divinity.
But the usurper couldn’t handle the borders.
It’s not like I didn’t try. You must have tried endlessly for a long time. Maybe it was tried from the past war.
and would have failed.
“hmm.”
Whatever it was, it wasn’t a bad story for him. Now he has gained mighty powers.
Among them, there was also the authority to change the future direction itself.
But I didn’t have time to check it out right away.
He came here on a quest.
If so, I’ll have to finish that first.
Taesan put his hand on the bottom of the treasure chest.
“Come out and devour it.”
The beast howls.
Boundaries arise and begin to cover the area
. The area was very wide. No matter how vigilant he was, he couldn’t swallow it all at once.
But there were no more hindrances.
Taishan calmly waited for the boundary to cover the realm.
“It’s a waste.”
A lot of concepts here.
Considering Taesan’s special ability to seize spirits, it wasn’t without the possibility of making all of them into Taesan’s power.
But, at least for now, it was impossible
.
It was because the owner of this treasure chest was still Talja Chan himself.
The authority he seized through the usurpation of the spirit was only partly owned. Unless the body of the usurper was defeated, the owner of this place was the usurper. It could be temporarily usurped, but it could not be made permanent.
‘It’s not impossible at all, though.’
If he is now, there is a possibility.
But it is overpaid. Now he can’t handle his newly acquired powers properly , so there’s no need to force
them into him .
So don’t steal
liberate instead.
The border spread slowly and soon engulfed the entire treasure chest. Taesan clenched his fists as they were.
[You activated the usurpation of the spirit.]
Kuuuuuuuuuu!
The treasure chest is the power of the usurper. It is impossible for him to usurp permanently.
However, it is possible to temporarily seize control
.
So, aim for the moment and release everything inside.
“Pierce.”
At the command of the master, the beast of the alert roars for joy. The boundary covering the treasure chest sharply bites the area.
Koo Goo Goo!
The power of the lofty Gosin begins to shake at the vigilance.
And it wasn’t long before the hole was drilled.
Quagga gaga gag!
And countless powers escaped toward the hole. Beyond time and space, they jump to where they should be.
The usurper’s treasure chest quickly becomes empty.
“Good.”
Taesan laughed. It was a satisfactory achievement.
Taishan pulled the space and came out of the treasure chest.
There was no one outside.
Only the dark world was still visible.
“Isn’t it coming anyway?”
Then he did all he had to do, and when he went back, it was over. Taesan threw herself. But the direction was different from when I crossed over.
Remnants of power that can be felt even in this distant place.
A middle ground between a huge concept and distorted authority.
Taesan headed there. It wasn’t long before Taishan’s vision saw the source of the conflict.
There were gosins there.
twisted and broken. Beings that can shake the universe alone.
They were knocking on the barrier.
Beyond the barrier, the transcendents were blocking the attacks of the old gods. They were so focused on each other that they couldn’t pay attention to their surroundings.
Taesan arrived at the barrier.
“Everyone is having a lot of trouble.”
A small voice rings out.
The gods notice the existence of Taesan. The gaze is directed toward Mt.
And with that alone, everything in Taishan is about to be trampled on.
An overwhelming gaze that even a transcendental person could not endure and would shake the concept.
However, Taesan endured without any burden.
The ancient gods could not do more than look at them. It was because they were doing their best to break the barrier.
That is why Taishan was able to see the ancient gods one by one at a leisurely pace.
worthless person.
world crusher.
A monster that walks through time.
The old gods who fought against him and who did not fight.
And there was one gosin in between.
usurper.
The distorted being was directing more intense gaze at Taesan than any other god.
Taesan laughed.
“Let’s fight with the body next time.”
Whoops.
The barrier is stained with boundaries and swallows Mount Tai.
Taishan returned to space. he threw himself With a serious face, he approached the wizard blocking the barrier.
“I’m here.”
“…oh. How did it go?”
Taesan spread his hands. The gray in it slowly dissipated.
Seeing this, the wizard grinned.
“All right.”
“All right.”
“thank you. I am truly grateful. I’d love to talk about him…but I can’t afford that right now.”
Wow!
The barrier is shaking.
The barrier was now like rags. This will break really soon.
“Is there any point in holding out any longer?”
“But it is our job to prevent it as much as possible. go back to the labyrinth I think you should listen to the story there. I think it’s better to listen to her than me.”
Taesan nodded. The wizard lightly snapped his fingers. The space opens and Taishan returns to the labyrinth.
“Then where should I go?”
[The preparations are over.]
Balbabamba was waiting for Taesan.
After looking at him for a while, Taesan realized.
Barbabamba’s demeanor was very polite.
It was as if he was dealing with a being above him
.
“What kind of change of heart did you suddenly have?”
[It’s not a change. Because you reached the realm of perfection alone and proved your power to other Transcendentalists.]
“I think I spoke plainly when I was a god of faith.”
[Yeah, isn’t that because it’s the seat of a god of faith?]
Barbabamba said calmly.
Taesan laughed at that attitude. Show respect only to those who have reached the right stage .
It was very arrogant.
But considering the role of Barbabamba, it wasn’t so strange. As the manager of the labyrinth, he must have had conversations with numerous transcendental beings.
[Above all… the wizard asked me to be polite to you. With bees.]
“… bees. iced coffee.”
Taesan realized what Barbababamba said. physical force conversion. Barbababamba decided that it would not be a big deal and gave the skill to Tae-san.
But no. Taesan was able to reach a high level thanks to that skill.
But it wouldn’t be a picture drawn by a wizard. It is safe to say that it is a state that relies on skill.
“I am grateful. sincerely.”
Of course, the story had nothing to do with Taesan. On the contrary, it was very good for him.
[Well… the wizard didn’t say much, as if he didn’t think it was a big problem. Still, you need to be polite.]
“So then. Where can I go?”
[Just follow me.]
[Barbabamba activated #16777767.]
Kwakdeuk.
space is open.
It is a gap in the labyrinth.
An empty area created by the system.
[This way.]
Taesan followed Barbababamba. Numerous types of systems were visible there.
It seemed that these were combined to create a labyrinth.
Taesan looked at her with interest, then looked down at her fingers.
“So what?”
[…]
After a moment of silence, Akasha opened her mouth.
[…I remembered.]
“How far.”
[About my existence. Who am I and what kind of person am I. All of that
.]
“Yes, this is it.”
If so, the person who was the owner of Akasha must have remembered everything.
[This is it.]
Balbabamba guided Taesan to the door. And he backed away as if this was not his business.
profit.
Taesan opened the door.
And there, the goddess was waiting for Mount Tai.
“Here you are.”
Arilnan greeted Taesan with a smile.
* * *
“I did it. Truly.”
Arylnan was different from what he had seen before.
She had lost herself.
That’s why I didn’t feel any special class, and it was like an ordinary human being.
But no more.
She felt a strange sensation. Huge and thick, but a sensation that cannot be accurately expressed.
“The moment you released me, I knew right away. That the concepts of the world that were confined within it were released into the world. My concept too.”
“Is the concept itself sealed? It didn’t feel like that.”
The concept of defense was possessed by the usurper, but defense certainly existed in space. Arilnan answered the question.
“Simple. A concept that has been usurped by the usurper cannot be reached by anyone as that concept. That’s what it means to be usurped.”
“…Is that so.”
Taesan understood. If the concept of defense is usurped by the usurper, the god of defense cannot appear again.
But now Taishan has liberated the concept of defense.
“Of course, the Transcendentalists who have already been usurped will not be able to return. They were defeated and perished. But now new transcendents may appear. The ruined order has returned to its original state. It is all thanks to you.”
“then.”
Taesan’s gaze turned to Arilnan.
Arilnan lost herself.
But she didn’t disappear.
If so, has she regained her own now that the usurper has released what was usurped?
“As you guessed.”
Arilnan laughed very happily.
“I got myself back. It’s all thanks to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Then…
what is an arylnan?
Taesan guessed.
He usurped the red flower and treated it as his own.
In the process, I realized what the concept was.
But Arilnan speaking directly felt different.
“You must be guessing. I am not a small concept. It’s a concept that affects a very large universe.”
Arilnan spreads his hand.
A small red flower appears there.
“Life is born into this world. It blooms and imprints its existence on the world.”
The red flowers that bloomed gradually grew larger and then came into full bloom. It spreads its petals wide and boasts of itself.
“And grow and grow and greet the time when you shine more brilliantly than anything else.”
Most of all, the flowers that are in full bloom are starting to fade. The petals start to fall one by one.
“But all lives that were born that way eventually die.”
Arilnan clenches his fist. Flowers hide their faces.
Wow!
The presence of arylnan expands. A case of
encroaching on a huge and dense space itself
. A concept that is greater than any concept Taishan has ever seen covers all things.
Everything blooms brilliantly, blooms, and fades.
They are repeated countless times. It seems like time is speeding up.
[You are.]
Bard Ray intuition. he asks in a trembling voice.
[Life…]
[Life. Similar but different. I preside over something greater than that,]
Arilnan declared.
[I am the goddess of circulation. Arylnan.]
[You have encountered Arylnan, the god of circulation.]
Level up with skill.
