Player returns after 10,000 years Episode 408
What’s so cute? (1)
[ ….]
As if at a loss for words, a message window with Braille appeared.
Kangwoo swallowed a groan as he looked at the message window.
Suddenly, a question crossed my mind. ‘What is this system? The gods, including Gaia, referred to this system as ‘Providence’.
And the Gaia system that sealed her power when she first arrived on Earth was part of that ‘providence’ assigned to Gaia, the deity of Earth’s guardian qualifications. in other words.’
It means that only part of the providence was able to seal the demon he harbored.
Of course, there are differences between then and now.
It’s not really there. After returning to Earth, he grew explosively, and
the sea itself was expanding without knowing the end.
Already in hell, he wasn’t even comparable. ‘But even so.
After all, it was not an easy thing to think about sealing the demon sea with only a part of it.
[Checking the replacement reward.] ‘Looking at it this way, it looks like a mechanical device.
Kangwoo looked at the message window filled with graphs like the loading screen of a game.
I’m not revealing my emotions now, but
‘I have an ego.’ There is the ability to think and judge.
Of course, it was closer to artificial intelligence than personality.
‘What is it?
continued to worry. Gaia said that thanks to the protection of the ‘Gaia System’, extraterrestrial beings could not interfere with the Earth. ‘That’s not all.
Protecting the stars was only one part of Providence’s function.
Providence creates and empowers players.
It restricts the actions of the gods so that beings with divinity cannot interfere in the material world.
That power goes beyond Earth Ernore and governs and directs this universe itself.
‘like.’
like the law.
Like a rule someone deliberately created.
[Excessive interference with the Titan law has been confirmed.]
[If additional interference is confirmed, the deity will be demoted.]
A message window popped up along with the familiar sound of bells.
It was a different red message window than before.
Whoa.
Kang Woo let out a laugh. ‘Don’t try to find out more about this.’
It was an interesting response.
Kang Woo looked at the red warning window with interesting eyes.
There was no reason to acquire information at the risk of being degraded.
‘Because I just got a rough outline with the message.
Titanic Law.
Kangwoo looked at the word carefully.
The Titans were the creators of the gods and creators of this universe.
‘Titans are closer to gods than what we now call gods.’
Beings with divinity, such as Gaia and Tyrion, were different from the common ‘god’. They
are neither
omnipotent nor omniscient .
He is close to a superhuman with personality.
‘If I compare it to martial arts, I’d say it’s like a heron.’
It is difficult to say that it is an accurate metaphor, as it is extremely rare to acquire divine status through one’s own realization and ascetic practices, such as Kang Woo
.
Most gods are born with divine status from the moment they are born. ‘More like the gods of Greek and Roman mythology.
Coincidentally, the name of the supreme god who protects the earth
was ‘Gaia’ in Greek and Roman mythology. … It can’t be a mere coincidence. It is probably correct to see that there is some connection between mythology and Gaia.
‘anyway.
The important thing is the word ‘law of the titan’ itself.
From that alone, it wasn’t difficult to deduce whose hands this system was made by.
‘Are they made by giants like Pauli? If so
, I could understand the reason for sealing
the demon sea with only a part of the power .
…it’s titanium.
Kang-woo raised his head as he quietly put those beings in his mouth.
His eyes stared into the void, shining with madness.
An eerie smile formed on his lips. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
titanium.
A being who created the gods and created the universe.
‘What will it taste like?’
gulp. swallow saliva
thump. My heart is beating like crazy.
Blood circulates through the body at high speed, making it hot.
Hunger, like an intense thirst tearing at his stomach, consumes him. no this is not the time
Kang Woo shook his head.
I took a deep breath and controlled the desire boiling inside me. No matter how greedy they were now
, there was no way to confirm
where the Titans were or whether they actually existed .
‘and.’
The image of a giant roaring wildly while trapped in the abyss came to mind.
drank bouli. I pretended to be relaxed in front of him and shuddered, but
‘I won’t be able to do anything if I actually fight.
The reason he didn’t kill himself was to take away his body.
If you fight the real Bauli, you will most likely be defeated.
– If it’s not me, you! It is nothing!
Bauli’s cry runs through my head. Kang Woo himself knows very well that these are not pretentious words.
‘Without Paulie.
Damage cannot be maintained. The core of Mahae is not himself, but Bauli Ki.
…I’ll have to be prepared for this too.
One day, we have to keep in mind an all-out war with Bauli.
Kang Woo smiled bitterly and clicked his tongue.
– Tring.
Then I heard the sound of the bell I was waiting for.
[The reward of [The Way to Become a Demon God] has been replaced with the ‘Those Who Look Up’ attribute.] You
can convert your faith in [Oh Kang-woo] into divinity and absorb it. If you accumulate more than a certain level of divinity, your divinity will increase.] A
blue message window popped up in front of me.
Kang Woo’s eyes sparkled.
it’s faith
I turned my head.
under the golden star.
I saw the continental people kneeling and praying.
Since the last war, they have been following themselves and Kim Si-hoon like gods. The name of the church that the people of the Continent made
on their own was the
‘Gwangmyeong Church’ .
Kangwoo
looked down at the followers of Gwangmyeonggyo and licked his lips.
…are you okay?
no it’s not good enough It’s a great ability. Unlike magic or holy power magic, there is no way to obtain divinity on its own.
It was only possible to obtain a supply by eating a being with a divine personality with the power of predation.
‘If I could turn my faith into divinity.
It means that you can supply and demand divinity yourself.
It is no different from primitive man who could obtain food only by hunting and learned farming.
Of course, the meat is delicious.
It was a welcome thing to have a stable supply in a situation where you don’t know when you will be able to get another food.
But how do I change it?’
Kang Woo tilted his head.
Usually, when you learn a talent, the basic ways to use it automatically flow into your head.
But this time it was different.
No matter how much time passed, a way to change faith into divinity did not flow into my head.
As if to answer his question, the message window popped up again.
[Absorbing faith and converting it into divinity can be done through the ‘Mahae Key’.]
With the Magic Key?
Kang Woo tilted his head and raised his right hand.
Why, all of a sudden, did the magic key have such a function?
– Prick. what is this Something rose from the black ring.
It was a black lump called the demon’s legacy.
After getting out of the sea, a black lump, which had never appeared before, climbed up Kangwoo’s arm with a slimy body.
A black lump on his shoulder rubbed against Kang-woo’s cheek.
Unlike the squishy sound you hear whenever you move, a very soft touch like a bouncy ball was conveyed.
– Squeak Squeak Squeak!
The black lump trembled happily.
Soon, two yellow dots came to mind.
‘Did they even have eyes?’
Kang Woo looked at the black mass as if he was embarrassed.
Thinking that this was the true form of the key to the sea, it felt like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
The black mass tilted its head as it stared blankly at Kang Woo, whose mouth was open.
Gureuk?
Gureuk??
…Are you crying too?
A black lump jumped up and down his shoulder.
Kang Woo touched his forehead as if he was confused.
I turned my head.
It is slightly smaller than a soccer ball.
No matter how you look at it, it was slime. Gureuk! Gureuk!
Kang Woo laughed as if it was absurd.
‘What the heck…’
Ah, if you look at other fantasy novels, there are cute pets. Shall we put one in this opportunity?
‘A guy who seems to have been made roughly like that.’
If you’re going to make it, make it with sincerity.
What the hell is black slime?
Kang Woo stared at the black lump with his mouth firmly shut.
The black mass trembled and lowered its head.
It reacts like a dog scolded by its owner. ‘what is this.
what’s cute Gurruk…
The yellow eyes of the black mass shook.
He slowly reached out and touched the black mass.
–
There was an overly unpleasant sound to hear, but the tactile sensation itself was not soggy at all.
It’s tangled and plump, so it feels good to touch something.
Should I say it feels like touching a water balloon?
gurg gurg.
When Kang Woo touched it, the black mass rubbed its body against his hand, narrowly opening its eyes happily.
****
Now I have to admit. Kang Woo clenched his fists in anger.
This kid…
he’s cute.
Why are you so cute on the subject of slime?
Kang Woo frowned at the discrepancy between the information he received with his eyes and the common sense in his head
.
‘No, being cute isn’t important.’
The role of the black mass was elsewhere.
Absorb the faith of the people over there.
Gureuk!
The black mass nodded broadly, as if asking to be left alone.
Kang Woo looked at the black mass and was lost in thought.
‘Come to think of it, the demon’s legacy
was able to absorb the emotion of fear.
The reason why the constellations of evil went out to find Kang Woo was because their fear, which was supposed to be directed at them, was directed at Lucifer unexpectedly.
‘Fear and faith. The two are different but have similarities.
God was not only an object of faith, but also an existence of fear and awe.
‘Oh, that’s why I was able to absorb the faith.’
Kang Woo nodded as if he finally understood.
In the first place, the legacy of demons had the ability to absorb emotions and transform them into divinity.
And that’s how the system started to work.
hmm.
Kangwoo nodded and looked at the black mass.
It was an opportunity to see how to transform the immaterial power of faith into divinity.
– Swallow.
The black mass came down from Kang Woo’s shoulder
and bounced toward the window.
and.
– Jjoeok.
The black lump’s mouth opened. A vicious mouth sprouted with sharp beast teeth.
The gaping mouth grew larger and larger.
Soon, one person’s mouth, which had grown large enough to chew and swallow, ferociously bit the air.
– Woodeuk wooddeuk!
An eerie sound was heard.
As if chewing on something invisible and swallowing it, the black lump moved its mouth eagerly and ate something.
Kang Woo opened his mouth again as if it was ridiculous.
The black lump that looked cute until just now had turned into a terrible monster whose origin could not be found.
[Faith absorbed through the Magic Key is converted into divinity.]
Gureuk!
The black mass that ate away my faith bounced back and landed on my hand. As I rubbed my body on the ring
, I felt
the divinity enter my body through the magic key .
Hmm.
Of course, it wasn’t that much. ‘The number of people who come all the way to the imperial castle to offer prayers is probably more than 300.
And most of all, there couldn’t be much of it in converting the immaterial power of ‘faith’ into energy with real physical power.
well anyway
Kang Woo smiled as if he was satisfied.
Gwangmyeonggyo.
It is a name that fits perfectly with the newcomer of brilliance. ‘Very good food… No, I got followers.
The seeds have already been sown. All you have to do
is make sure the crops grow well by giving them the right amount of fertilizer and water.
Hehe.
I let out a silly laugh as I recalled several plans in my head.
Kang Woo turned his head toward the black mass.
The black mass was looking up at him with bright eyes, as if seeking praise.
Come to think of it, I guess I’ll have to give it a name.
You can’t keep calling it a black mass, can you?
Hmm….
After thinking about it for a while, Kangwoo snapped his fingers as if he remembered a good name.
okay.
He reached out and lifted the black mass.
From now on, your name is squishy.
Gureuk!
Prick.
The slimy body bounced around as if it felt good.
