Where Promises Intersect (1)
The calm sea.
Only the dark moaning of Gyebaek intermittently resounds through the void where not even the sound of the wind can be heard.
From a cluster of stars shining faintly on the other side of the dark sea to the shapes of countless galaxy clusters that shine farther away.
Lennok, who was sympathetic to Gyebaek’s consciousness, was able to clearly perceive the miracle and the end, which could not even be properly recognized by human senses.
In an unconscious moment, the fire that had risen from the other side of the sea suddenly disappeared like a flash, and the remnants of magical power that clumped together in the form of slime floated sticky.
A gigantic tree trunk that takes root among the stars, absorbs nourishment, and breathes incessantly.
The remains of a giant crouching with countless meteorites wrapped around it like a ring, staring at the sea from beyond the void.
Huge wings resembling stingrays flap, absorbing the stellar heat, and satellites made of giant eyes orbit and watch the passing stars.
Black thunderbolts and blue prominences rippled like waves, immeasurable life and consciousness merged, then disintegrated, annihilated, and re-created.
If he was an ordinary human being, he would have gone mad the moment he faced any phenomenon.
“… … .”
The scenery of the open sea that I encountered for the first time in my life.
None of them really show the true nature of them, but just facing the fragments gave Lennok a vague understanding of what they were like.
Each one of them has a bizarre meaning that is like an apocalypse from the human point of view, but in this dark sea, every moment is just an afterimage that is close to a fleeting moment.
The monsters that exist outside the open sea, transcending the cycle of cause and effect, are no longer bound by the laws of creation and extinction.
Even the endless repetition of birth, extinction, and resurrection on their own was nothing more than a light whim in the return of unconsciousness.
Why does the Guido Church call them gods and worship them, and why such a fanatical religion has become the number one religion on the continent?
Lennok, who was looking out over the open sea using Gyebaek’s consciousness, understood.
Even why the apostles who were born as incarnated bodies under the revelation of such divine power eventually fell into madness and became monsters.
The logic of human mutualism, the laws of the world, the law of the weak and the survival of the fittest have no meaning to them.
They are just wandering around in search of something to satisfy their desires in immeasurable free and hunger.
And it was obvious that one of the destinations of his wanderings and anguish was this world.
However, even after seeing the scene that strongly hinted at the ending above all else, the first emotion that came to Lennok’s mind was not fear, but admiration.
‘It’s beautiful.’
By simply looking at and observing the seascape over and over again, Lennok’s inner self is imbued with an inexhaustible powerful spirituality and intuition.
Looking down from a much higher place than Lennok, and observing and recognizing the fragments that sneeringly pass by, the horizon of thought is rapidly expanding.
It seems that I can look at this sea forever and fill it with strange and great ideas and inspiration.
However, Lennok forcibly ignored the powerful urge that welled up in a corner of his heart and regained consciousness.
It is dangerous to indulge in more than this.
Right now, this place is just looking out to the open sea in a state of sympathy with Gyebaek’s consciousness.
I had to keep my mind tight so that I could get out quickly in case of an emergency.
‘The sight… … .’
I wanted to look back at the well from which Gyebaek came out and the shape of the star, but Gyebaek did not turn his consciousness back.
It was only moving faithfully according to the last geath that was driven into the body through the stake and activated.
It was only then that Lennok realized that Gyebaek hadn’t changed at all even after he jumped out of the open sea.
The memory of Aurel Silford he had just ruminated on was just a by-product of the process of sharing Lennok’s senses with Gyebaek.
The real Aurel Silford had already lost its essence, and only fragments of it remained like dregs, hovering around the body.
‘… … The opportunity is only now.’
No matter how you think about this operation, there were too many strange things, and Gyebaek’s existence was by far the most heterogeneous among them.
The mad monster, which had been digging into the sea around the continental coastline because there was no way to control it, was suddenly pulled up to the top of the sea and made it run straight to the well.
Even a series of measures that made Gyebaek crawl into the well by driving a stake prepared in advance.
The clown said it would activate the last geath, but Lennok needed to know exactly what he meant.
Why did the last geas that restrain Gyebaek sleep without being activated?
What is the content of that geas?
oh oh oh… … !!
While deep in thought, the speed of Gyebaek rising to the other side of the open sea begins to increase.
At the same time, on the other side of the darkness where nothing could be seen, something flitted past.
Even Lennok, who borrows part of Gyebaek’s senses and looks out over the open sea, cannot properly perceive its shape.
I don’t have time to ponder for a long time.
Utilizing the experience of searching Amilla Banger’s consciousness, it penetrates the deepest part of Gyebaek’s consciousness.
All of this itself is a supernormal ability that was created because Lenok disassembled and absorbed Gyebaek’s Geas into the Ouroboros magic system.
It was an extremely reckless idea to touch Gyebaek’s gias through Ouroboros, but as a result, Lennok succeeded.
Beyond the level of understanding the law of geas itself, it became possible to intervene and tamper with it on a direct or indirect level.
In a way, it is a great achievement that I realized how to handle the law that is fundamentally connected to Lennok’s penalty.
Beyond simply touching other people’s geas, it might even be possible to create and transform new geas.
But instead of pondering the endless possibilities and new abilities, Lennok began to focus on the immediate task.
Chareuk!!
Grabbing the end of the chain that was entangled in an immeasurably complex way within Gyebaek’s body, he headed for the other side.
Inside the ascendant’s body, which was rapidly swimming across the open sea and advancing into the far-off void, it dug deep beneath the base of his consciousness.
Through the Ouroboros magic system, it passes through the geas that have been analyzed and classified once, through the waste that has lost its target and expired, and finally reaches the key hidden at the bottom of the center.
It was the last command given to Gyebaek Aurel Silford among the 80,000 geas that completed it.
Gyebaek’s essence is completely reversed, and the last Giath is located in the innermost part of its existence.
[■■■■■■■■■■■.]
He grabbed the tip of the gias, which was shaped like a black stake that Lennok had driven in with his own hand, and slowly opened it.
It was because the captain activated the geas with the power of the stake he had made, and clearly conveyed the meaning to Gyebaek.
It was enough to follow the flow of power backwards and read the meaning of Geass.
The strange feeling of grabbing the end of a tangled ball of thread and unraveling it at once.
At the same time, the unknown characters engraved on the surface began to change into shapes that could be understood one by one.
Kiriririk… … .
[Once again ■■■ ■■■■.]
‘Once again… … ?’
Kirik… … !!
[To Ascension once again ■■■■.]
Kiriririririk… … !!!!
[Challenge the ascension again.]
The last Gias who completed the existence of Gyebaek.
And sleeping on the other side of the deepest consciousness, the last order finally activated.
The phrase engraved on the stake, which even the clown did not know, was said to have been made by the leader himself.
It was a stern sentence to ‘challenge the ascension once again’.
‘… … .’
Lennok hesitated at the completely unexpected sentence.
Challenge the ascension once again.
As soon as Gyebaek remembered this sentence, he jumped out of the well on his own as if he had forgotten all the moments he had fought with Pyeonram.
All Lennok did was drive a stake in and assist Gyebaek as he tried to crawl into the well on his own.
Why does Gyebaek, who has already failed to ascend to heaven, have to challenge that grand goal again?
And why did Gyebaek, who was told to challenge the ascension, throw himself into the open sea without hesitation?
The moment Lennok found a ray of light among all the questions and tried to put all the puzzles together.
Woo woo woo… … .
A faint sound of music began to be heard from somewhere.
‘… … what?’
The open sea that exists outside the world is a void where nothing exists.
In that void where everything that exists loses its meaning, all human senses do not function properly and are twisted.
In the void that absorbs everything without responding to all stimuli and signals emitted by living things, humans forget even their own nature and go crazy.
A vast sea of darkness where cause and effect diverge and do not converge, regardless of origin, without causal cycles.
What does it mean to hear a sound that shouldn’t be heard in that space?
Before Lennok could properly think and understand it, Gyebaek rolled himself up.
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… … .
The tens of thousands of chains that make up the body come together and are compressed to form a spiral column, converging at the extremes and narrowing.
On the other side of Gyebaek’s body, which had turned into a huge bullet, the darkness that had been dancing and shaking constantly began to subside little by little.
No, it’s not sinking.
Something huge enough to cover the endlessly dancing dark sea was approaching Gyebaek.
It’s just that Gyebaek’s senses can’t fully recognize and look at it, so the scenery beyond it is only being reflected.
The moment Lennok began to vaguely realize what it was, it already existed.
Woo woo woo… … !!
Between the faintly resounding trumpet sounds, something splits open at the end of the immersed darkness.
Cracks wide enough to contain Gyebaek’s body, which is hundreds of meters long, opened at both ends, and a huge circle appeared between them and slowly rotated.
It moves little by little, but unmistakably, contracts and then opens.
Even though the radius of the circle covered hundreds of meters, Lennok could tell.
‘… … Nonsense.’
I can’t believe it even though I see it through the senses of Gyebaek and am sure.
That the movement of the circle in front of him now looks similar to the expansion and contraction of the pupil.
The circle splitting in front of Gyebaek and floating on both sides was the pupil of a being bigger than the fallen ascendant.
The moment he recognized it, the music began to resonate louder than ever at Lennok.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Even though Gyebaek has no ears, and Lenok only has a floating consciousness, the sound of music seems to pierce his ears.
It raises the volume endlessly and magnificently, as if praising and showing off, as if it was only now that I finally recognized its existence.
As if my eyes were shaking violently at the sound, my senses fluctuated and my consciousness drifted away.
Gyebaek let out a scream close to a scream, and pushed his body, which had been rolled up like a bullet, forward.
Conversely, right after that, Lennok’s consciousness was thrown back as if to resist the movement.
The moment of swimming toward the open sea so far is like a lie, going back to the way it deviated at double speed.
It seems that the whole mind, consciousness, and soul are shouting with one voice that this is not the way.
Aaaaaaaaaaa!!
The sound of waves crashing into your ears as if trying to erase the sound of the music.
Amidst the shock of losing consciousness at any moment, Lennok somehow opened his eyes and stared at the rapidly receding landscape.
Even though he is moving away from the spot so quickly, he cannot see the whole body of a creature much larger than Gyebaek with his own two eyes.
The elongated torso boasts a scaly appearance as it stretches in a languid posture with its head, shaped like a solid boat, resting heavily among the sea.
If there was a dragon with a ship thousands of meters as its head, what would it look like?
Can I dare to call that a life like Lennok?
He who floats among the stars, swims among galaxies, eats the meteors that roam around the stars, and drinks the tears of the sun.
A being that is prophesied to open the sky and descend upon the earth with the end of the world.
For the first time Lennok had witnessed the true form of one of the giants with his own eyes.
Kirik… … .
Gyebaek’s body rotates slowly like a bullet and slowly rushes into the center of the huge pupil.
As if he knew he had to kill the being by using its body as a weapon.
Then, to challenge the ascension once again—
Push!!
At the same time as Gyebaek’s body penetrated the center of the pupil, part of the pupil of the huge pupil began to turn black.
As if ink had been dissolved, black slime pierced between the pupils without hesitation.
The pupil stared blankly at Gyebaek who attacked him, then lifted his eyes a little and looked elsewhere.
That fleeting moment when he accurately gazes at Lennok, whose gaze is gradually moving away from him.
Fall out!!
With the sound of electric current suddenly heard, Lennok’s consciousness went out.
* * *
“haha… … !!”
Philenom Dominion, Floating Island Colony.
The Garden of the Moon, hidden by transcendent barrier art.
The headquarters of the Blue Eye, where the lighthouse is located, a huge tower now collapsed.
Watcher Fern was running down the hallway, gasping for breath like crazy.
“Bo, I have to report… … . If you don’t tell me now!!”
Tears and runny nose run down, and even though they are covered in sweat, they do not stop.
The spectators collapsed as if they were dead all over the hallway.
Some clumsily picked up weapons, but they couldn’t even wield them, and they looked like they had collapsed.
Although breathing is faintly attached, consciousness is completely blown away and only the body is holding on to the life reaction.
Could it be that the defense was not sufficient? Fern didn’t even dare to guess that fact.
That’s because the opponent who broke into this lighthouse was a monster that her common sense couldn’t understand.
A genius who made it up himself and passed through the barrier of the moon, which is said to be able to trap even ascenders for a while, and destroyed the lighthouse’s computer network in an instant.
Not only the many observers who remained at the lighthouse, but even the person with the highest level of ability who was protecting the Dominion in place of Lapis couldn’t hold out in front of him for long.
Perhaps there is an ending worse than death for humans.
And even though he had a hunch that that moment would come to him, Fern did not stop.
The top of the tower where the lighthouse is located.
After entering the control tower, which had now been restored, she pushed away the fallen observers and began to manipulate the device.
The situation is irreversible, but someone has to inform the outside world.
If he couldn’t tell the lighthouse keeper, who was away, that would be an outcome worse than death for Fern.
Beep beep, beep beep… … !!
“No, just a little more, a little more… … !!”
My hands that touch the equipment in the control tower lose their strength, and my eyes slowly close.
He bites his lower lip to keep himself awake, bleeding profusely, but does not stop.
If she goes to sleep like this, will she also meet other watchers?
You may fall into a sleep worse than death without ever waking up.
Maybe that’s better than the terrible and lengthy sacrifice I made to become a watcher.
click… … !!
Fern, who managed to complete the message while constantly dripping blood on the instrument panel, presses the send button with trembling hands.
The moment her finger fell on the instrument panel and she was about to report everything that happened to the lighthouse to the headquarters.
thump!!
A hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist.
“ah… … .”
Despair appeared on Fern’s face, which was becoming faint.
I struggled to lift my trembling gaze and tried to check the face of the person who held that hand.
The noise that stuttered from the top of his neck only made Fern’s last resistance futile.
Unable to hold on any longer, she threw her head on the dashboard and lost consciousness.
thud!!
Looking down at Fern’s helpless figure, In-yeong quietly let go of her wrist and turned her back.
I walked through the quiet hallway at a pace that was neither slow nor fast, and headed for the top of the tower.
A huge cavity made in a circle.
A huge celestial sphere slowly floating in the center of the cavity.
Woo woo woo woo… … !
Around the celestial sphere, a faint glow rotates like a star, illuminating the inside of the dark cavity with a mysterious light.
Inyoung passed by the armchair placed in front of the celestial sphere and carefully placed her hand on the celestial sphere.
The moment my smooth fingers gently brushed the surface of the celestial sphere.
“I have been imagining this moment for a very long time.”
A quiet female voice echoed from behind Inyoung.
“But I never thought we’d meet like this.”
“… … .”
When In-young turns her eyes away from the crackling noise, the image of the armchair she has passed over catches her eye.
In an armchair that had been empty until just now, a woman who hadn’t taken off her girlish looks was sitting neatly looking at him.
blue hair. Brilliantly shining eyes and a firm mouth.
The resolute and clear determination contained in that expression.
Inyoung looked at him blankly and murmured.
“I didn’t intend to meet in person… … . The timeline looks twisted again.”
“… … .”
“I thought I had cut off all means of contact, but where did the variable come from?”
A bizarre sound that seems to mix the tones of a man and a woman, an old man and a child.
In-young, who was worried about the appearance of resting her chin, remembered Fern’s blood on the instrument panel and nodded.
“Was the instrument panel a touch type… … , that was not expected. It must be a pretty old-fashioned way to do it in this world, but I managed to think of installing it in the lighthouse control tower.”
“I never expected this to happen.”
Lapis replied coldly.
“Because I never thought that the leader of Pandaemonium would break into the lighthouse alone.”
