My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 261

#261

hide and seek (3)

The day when saints and saints returned quickly.

Hatianus II interacted with so many people that one might wonder if he was a person who had never been alone..

I cleared up the accumulated worries with Riesta, whom I had been away from for a while, chatted with people I was in a relationship with, and also offered good words to younger students whom I had not been able to see often..

Many people naturally came and went to the Pope's residence, creating a lively atmosphere for the first time in a long time..

And that evening.

He lay down on his bed in front of a few high-ranking officials, including a saint, saying he was tired.···.

“Hehehe, then I'll be there first, so everyone come slowly..”

With those short words, I soon fell into a deep sleep, quietly as if I was falling asleep..

With a soft smile on your lips.

However, despite such a big incident, the sadness that spread within the main shrine was not that great..

The same goes for Saint Riesta, who was quiet all day today..

She wiped away tears for a moment, but soon recovered her composure and took the lead in blessing the Pope's new journey..

‘Well, isn't it natural since it is the continent's largest religion and all high-ranking people are fanatics?.’

For those with deep faith, death was not the eternal end, but only the beginning of the journey to God..

Even if I am saddened by the immediate separation, I have faith that we will meet again in the arms of the Lord later..

While the funeral was taking place in such a calm atmosphere, Henry recalled the Pope's secret message..

The benevolent voice that was transmitted only in his head so that not even Riesta who was right next to him could hear it..

‘···Well, it wasn't that big of a statement. At most, it was just one word..’

just one word.

That was the word of God delivered by the Pope just before his death..

‘What can I do with that?···.’

Without realizing it, a deep sigh escaped me..

Of course, I could roughly guess why it was so ambiguous..

For convenience, it was only referred to as the word of God. To be more precise, it would have been closer to an arbitrary interpretation of part of the complex and vast will so that humans could understand it..

At least this was possible because the Pope's soul was slowly breaking away from the body..

For example, even though he is a saint in name and form, he still doesn't feel much of a difference from the beginning.?

‘Even if you worry about it now, it won't make much sense. Anyway, allowing something isn't a bad thing..’

I don't know if it's about playing continental shit, selling God's name all over the place, or whether it's about the long stay in Outerica..

In a way, it was a welcome sign that there was no need to worry anymore..

Now slowly—.

Because another big event was just around the corner..

***

[Hahaha—this is ridiculous. Somehow, no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find it..]

The surrounding atmosphere shook violently along with the dreary laughter of the Immortal King Hans..

He is located on a towering spire of immortality..

It was a place where an altar was set up for the tracking ritual of a medium..

[I never would have guessed that it was hiding on the edge of the abyss. That place is not an environment in which the living can survive..]

The place where the immortal army was sleeping was a chaotic area where time and space were mixed, as well as without air or warmth..

In fact, the world is one where even undead find it difficult to think, let alone move arbitrarily..

‘I thought he was something out of the ordinary, but this is even more than I expected..’

But admirable is admirable, and when this happens, a change in plan becomes inevitable..

In order to deal with this guy clearly, I had deliberately gathered all the executives of the Immortal Army and prepared them.···.

‘If you could handle the abyss like me, this would be a burden to the others. I'd rather just go alone.’

Hans flew through the sky and came down from the spire, his burning eyes shining..

In fact, even if he went alone, there wouldn't be any problem..

The reason we couldn't deal with the revolutionary so far was because we couldn't find his hiding place, not because of the force he had..

No matter how strong he is, is he still as good as the Immortal King??

However, the reason he prepared so thoroughly was simply his desire to be more certain..

No matter what anyone says, he was a tycoon who led the tribulations that turned the world over several times..

‘Now that things have come to this, it would be a pointless waste of time to delay any longer..’

After thinking for a while, Hans made a decision and took action right away..

[Ready for battle and stand by.]

Be prepared for emergencies, but go alone into the border of the abyss..

However, she did not forget to follow in Salma's footsteps and take the Abyss Revenants, made from the corpses of Earth's awakened people, to subspace..

‘You never know, these guys who poured so much into the abyss. Even if you can't use it inside, it will be quite helpful when he escapes outside..’

After completing his preparations, he headed straight to the scar of the abyss located nearby..

Since the decision had already been made, there was no reason to hesitate any longer..

‘found.’

Traces of cracks detected by Hans' sensitive senses.

It had been inactive for quite some time and was tightly closed, but it was not that difficult for Hans, who wields the power of the abyss, to open one..

The black energy rising from his fingertips stretched out and took shape..

Soon, a sharply forged abyss split the air..

Squeaky—

A crack that tears open at once.

A darkness that seemed ominous at first glance was violently mixing and shaking inside..

[Wow, this is really interesting. Then, shall we go and catch the bug that is bothering me??]

And Hans, who was quietly observing it,.

I pushed myself into it without hesitation..

Slurp slurp—

Cracks continue to squirm in the aftermath of entry.

However, in less than a few seconds, it began to twist this way and that, and before you knew it, it was quickly restored and disappeared in the air again..

As if they pretended nothing had happened from the beginning..

***

There were many reasons why Hans was able to throw himself into the unknown territory inside the crack without hesitation..

It was believed that if the power of the abyss could be dealt with directly, there would be no major problems, and the most important thing was that if something went wrong, the summoning could be canceled..

[Hmm, this is?]

Still, I thought I might have to invest quite a bit of time to find the guy inside.···.

He realized that he had overlooked one thing..

‘Mixed space and time. It's everywhere, it's nowhere. If it weren't for the abyss, it would have been quite difficult..’

Hans looked around, wrapping his being around the abyss and securing it..

An extraordinary space where location coordinates are constantly distorted and phase changes even when standing still..

In fact, I could only see it as impossible to find someone in a place like this..

[Ho-oh, I guess I can use this....]

If there were no signposts that showed him a clear destination,.

The environment here is like an open sea when you don't know where to go, but if there is a clear sign, there is no other place that is as comfortable as this..

Hans took out a small vibrating piece of metal and looked at it quietly..

Then take a slow step—.

where he wants to be.

The medium reached the point pointed to in an instant..

In the very place where the revolutionaries are.

‘Okay, if you do this, it’s like eating for nothing... Yeah.?’

[Huh?]

But right after that.

What caught his eye was an unexpected sight..

‘It's probably not a mistake... First of all, it seems certain that that is the seed of madness..’

Kwaduk—kwaduk—!

As he calmly assessed the situation, a bloody sound flowed into his ears..

Right in front of him, something big and white was busy eating, mouth moving eagerly..

‘No matter how you look at it, it is a white giant. This is unexpected.’

Those who eat and those who are eaten.

No matter how you look at it, that guy was that guy..

For some reason, I thought there was no invasion for a while, but they were fighting among themselves in a place like this..

‘Wait, what size is that?···?’

Meanwhile, he noticed something strange and slowly tilted his head..

At first, I thought it was because of this space where the perspective was distorted, but even after using “Eye of the Abyss” and checking again and again, there was no doubt about it..

The size of the eating side is about 1.5 times larger than the other side..

‘···No matter how you look at it, the one being eaten doesn't seem small. Because the average giant was about 30 meters tall.···.’

about 45 meters.

Even at a rough estimate, it was as big as a 15-story building..

Moreover, unlike the giants of the past who had an ordinary body, this one had a solidly trained body of a warrior, and its muscles, which created synergy with its enormous size, showed off an overwhelming sense of intimidation just by existing..

And that wasn't the end of what got on his nerves..

Not only is there an enormous amount of 'madness' contained within his body, but he also has···.

“Phew, I never thought I would really come this far... Yes, it was you, the immortal king, after all..”

The face of the bastard that Hans had been observing closely turned to him..

A giant looking at him with a pair of pitch-black eyes that seemed to be in an abyss, raising the corners of his mouth and smirking..

eyes, nose, mouth, ears.

There was no seal visible anywhere..

[Are you that damn revolutionary? This is quite unexpected. Did he use the Seed of Madness to take on the body of a giant??]

“Phew—how are you, the Immortal King? Isn't it beautiful? This body is the perfect human being, the new human race of this world, painstakingly created by the God of Man.!”

[human god···?]

The moment Hans questions that unfamiliar word.

Immediately after receiving a mental attack from the White Giant in the past, some residue that had settled at the base of consciousness began to react with the abyss that filled this space..

And when the things that had been broken into pieces and could not be resolved were intertwined among us and transformed into a single piece of information..

He finally realized.

Why did that giant in front of me, the self-proclaimed revolutionary, cause such a fuss until now?.

[her! This is ridiculous. Are they the fallen gods and their descendants who were imprisoned in the abyss??]

“Phew—yeah, you don't understand. You just came into this world by chance! How can we, as children, remain silent when our Creator and Father is suffering at the bottom of the cold abyss? Ah—God! Please forgive this helpless creature.!”

Grumble—!

The surrounding space began to distort due to the loud shout of the giant who was talking incessantly and then suddenly accelerated forward..

Then, the immense energy contained within spread out in all directions and encroached upon the territory..

‘Hmm.’

But even in the face of that momentum, Hans just quietly tilted his head..

I was trying to think of how to respond to the guy who was talking as if he was convinced that he was from another world..

But the worries didn't last long.

‘···Wait, does it really matter? Anyway, I'm going to get rid of it right away..’

Because I realized that there was no point in what he was talking about..

So I just stabbed the guy with a relaxed mind..

[Oh, does that mean that this body is from another world??]

“iced coffee? Are you planning to hide it? It's no use since you already know everything. This space is where His power is maximized. There's no way I wouldn't recognize you even if I was face to face like this.!”

‘It's power.’

Thanks to you, I was able to get another piece of information.

I'm not sure what it is yet, but it's clear that he has some special ability..

When he was organizing his thoughts.

The giant... the revolutionary raised the corners of his mouth in a low sneer..

“Hehehe—you are arrogant, immortal king. You're so distracted by a few words that you give me time.!”

Drumming—

The giant's muscles swelled with a loud sound..

Indeed, as he said, not only the prayers emanating from him but also his body were more stable than before..

He seemed to be giving out various information earlier, but it seems he was buying time to digest the giant that devoured him..

[There's one thing you're mistaken about.]

“hmm?”

but.

Hans didn't know that and left him alone..

I just decided that right now it would be better to prioritize information over dealing with him right away..

because···.

[That's right, nothing changes.]

Because he and that giant were never equal.

Even if you give it just that much more time, the result will not change..

Of course, the energy he had was definitely not easy.—.

‘It also depends on the opponent.’

The despair that has descended on the continent, the fear of the living, and the incarnation that rules over death..

[I'll show you the difference, mongrel.]

Outerica is a self-proclaimed leader who views the world the best..

Wow!—!

Death exploded from the body of the immortal king Hans..

It covered the world filled with chaos, and swallowed up the slowly approaching territory in one go..
