Chapter 491

divinity (3)

A secret laboratory built deep underground..

A dizzying tangle of electrical wires, frantically flickering lamps, and monitors with all sorts of numbers fluctuating up and down..

Far from being a neat laboratory, the space was filled with large, unidentifiable mechanical devices..

Jiyiing—!

At that moment, a heavy mechanical sound rang out from the center..

A wave spreading in all directions with a strange magical power that shakes the atmosphere..

Pajik — Pajik—

Quagwagwang! Powwow—!

The affected mechanical devices began to react abnormally and emit black smoke..

“Uhhhhhhhh! It's finally finished! A masterpiece written with my blood and sweat!”

However, the owner of the lab, the Doctor, paid no attention to the chaos surrounding him..

Regardless of whether sparks or flames spread right next to him, he doesn't blink and just bursts into laughter as he looks at his work in front of him..

To him, the expensive equipment in this lab was just a consumable that slightly reduced the effort required for the experiment..

All the necessary data was in his head anyway, and if necessary, complex processes could be shortened as much as possible..

“Magical engineering, as well as machinery, life, chemistry... In any case, it is the ultimate work of art that is a culmination of all the essence.!”

With that cry, a red flash erupted from the eyes of the being standing in front..

4Something that looks like a devil, half machine and half life, with a body nearly a meter tall..

“The name is... 'Mecha Devil Executioner'’—!”

As mechanical noise rang loudly from the metal devices embedded throughout the fuselage, the Doctor's face with a maniacal smile was reflected through the red lens occupying one eye of the Mecha Devil Executioner..

An artificial life form created by tying together homunculi made from bodies collected from executioners, magical tools processed into the form of mechanical devices, and even some of the status and karma achieved by the doctor himself..

The Doctor, who was looking with satisfaction at the monster that had surpassed his own transcendence and was no different from his own alter ego, slightly tilted his head..

“···Hmm, but now that I think about it again, I think my pronunciation is a bit poor. After all, Mecha Demon Destroyer might be better..”

Then he frowned and began to groan, as if he didn't like the name he had thought about for three days and nights..

“Either that or Gigantic... Machine... Astaroth... Hmm..”

For researchers, the name to give to a creature was a non-negotiable element..

A dignified name sometimes even increases your value as an existence..

He was willing to invest a few more days to come up with a great name..

“···How come your lab seems like a mess every time I come here, doctor..”

But at that moment.

An uninvited voice was heard in the doctor's private space..

A languid woman's voice flowed with a cool breeze..

Whoa whoa—

With that, the fire engulfing the surrounding area subsided in an instant..

Colorful clouds replaced the thick smoke, and instead of the acrid burnt smell, a sweet fruity scent began to hover nearby..

Just as a dreamy fantasy covers the cold reality.

“How about organizing things a bit from now on? It would be more efficient to work in a clean environment..”

A brown-skinned woman wearing a sari, a traditional Indian attire, and holding a gombangdae in one hand appeared wearing a cloud cover..

“oracle?”

The doctor, who had been staring at her blankly at her sudden appearance, frowned..

Since their personalities are so polar opposites, it was not surprising that their relationship was bad..

It was obvious that we would fight for no reason, so we didn't talk much unless it was absolutely necessary, and of course we weren't close enough to suddenly come into the other person's territory like this..

“Hahaha! I feel more comfortable doing it this way! Because I remember where everything is anyway.!”

But the doctor soon smiled and greeted her casually..

Right now, I have just completed the masterpiece that I worked so hard on..

Because I was in such a good mood, I was able to tolerate and overlook whatever happened today..

“Hmm, if that's you, then I don't have anything more to say..”

“But what are you doing here, Oracle? You were always confined to India.?”

Also, the fact that Oracle's journey itself was unusual also played a role in such a reaction..

Just as he was confined to his lab most of the time, she was equally reluctant to come out of the altar she had built..

“The adversary has contacted the world line..”

And the prediction was exactly right..

The doctor's eyebrows twitched as he laughed at her indifferent words while putting the bear bag he was holding in his mouth..

“···Hmm. Already? It's faster than expected.”

He scratched his rough beard and quenched his appetite..

Oracle took a deep breath of his cigarette, exhaled thick smoke and shook his head excitedly..

“The second hand has already started moving. They say that if you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss also looks this way. Based on this observation, the time for foreign media to arrive on Earth would have been greatly accelerated..”

This was also the reason why Beoncheonhoeju shared the truth only with a very small number of his closest associates..

The more people you know, the shorter the time to prepare..

However, the fact that an adversary who is not an ordinary strong man but has great influence enough to receive protection from the world found out about this fact.···.

“This means that there is no time to worry about naming toys like that anymore..”

“Ah~! A toy! Are you saying this too harshly? This is nothing less than the last relic left behind by our executioner! Where did they sell respect for the dead?!”

“···Isn’t it a lost item and not a keepsake? No, I should say stolen goods. Besides, you are more respectful of the dead.···.”

“Uh- huh! Don't waste your time talking, and if you've said everything you want to say, go ahead. 'Cause I'm busy lubricating my cutie.”

She quietly closed her eyes at his childish whining..

We spent quite a bit of time together, but as expected, we were not compatible..

“···Huh, then I'll just leave. I hope that you will also take care to avoid any disruption to your schedule. If you're not careful, everything could really be in vain..”

“Wow! You can stop worrying! How long have I been waiting for that last experiment and now you're ruining it??”

In the end, Oracle had no choice but to meekly step down after being promised once again..

At first glance, he may seem like a single-minded person obsessed with research, but that man was once an absolute ruler who had the entire world in his hands..

Even though it looks so shabby, if an important situation arises, I will somehow prove my worth..

“No wait...! Simple is best. Just calling it a ‘mecha demon’...? Ooooh! Isn't this okay?!”

···To be honest, I don't really believe it, but.

‘Still, it's true that he put a lot of effort into this moment..’

That research-mad man will never let this plan go to waste..

The work of sprouting mysteries on Earth was only the beginning, and for him, this was no different from a once-in-a-lifetime gigantic project that would never come again if he missed the opportunity..

He'll probably do whatever it takes to get the job done..

Just like it has been until now.

‘complete freedom for humans.’

There are no foreign media or systems that control them..

For a new world led solely by Earthlings without any external intervention..

***

There are no mysteries on Earth.

···To be more precise, it did not exist until about 20 years ago, around 2000 AD..

Until the system appeared and transmission to another world began..

‘Dimensions like Earth probably aren't that common..’

Based on what I've experienced so far, it's no exaggeration to say that it's not only rare, but almost unique..

The fact that the Akasha system chose Earth may have played a big role in that..

Because a blank state with nothing is most advantageous in making awakened people break away from the laws of multiple dimensions and maintain their own rules..

That may be the reason why an error occurred during Ramu's awakening process..

“Phew.”

I opened my closed eyes and took a deep sigh..

I felt extremely uncomfortable due to the cold sweat running down my whole body and the blood soaking the front of my clothes, but I didn't even have the slightest strength left to move right away to get up to wash..

‘Still, the harvest isn't bad.’

I gently closed my eyes and focused inside myself..

Something stirring deep inside.

The seed of divinity that had been solid for so long cracked, and a small sprout grew through it..

‘I got lucky. I had some expectations, but I never thought it would succeed so quickly..’

Since we started off properly, from now on whenever there is an opportunity, we will be able to grow rapidly and bloom brilliantly..

The same applies to the divinity of avatars that are influenced by the main body..

It was definitely a good thing, but···.

“This thing suddenly gets bigger in scale..”

Aside from that, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable..

「The secret of the world that I was able to confirm thanks to my consciousness reaching a higher level the moment I acquired “a feeble divinity.”.

Most of the enlightenment I felt in the flow of truth had already dispersed like dust, but thanks to “Record of Myth,” I was able to capture some information that I thought was essential without being lost..

‘Those eyes. It was definitely a deity. It was not an ordinary lower-level god, but a main character equivalent to the creator of one dimension..’

The thought was brought to a halt for a moment simply by making eye contact with the remnants left on the record..

Even though at that moment I was no different from a god,.

‘Something like that is coming to Earth?’

I unconsciously squeezed the twitching corners of my eyes and sighed again..

The main god cannot appear directly in the underworld..

Even if it could be done, it shouldn't be done that way..

Because that alone could have shattered the world..

Isn't it true that the main gods of many levels, including Outerica and Kang Hwan-gye, have been on the back burner for no reason??

“It's a pain in the ass.”

If the purpose of the Buncheonhoeju was to protect the Earth from foreign gods, then its actions up to now were fully understandable..

A definite end is approaching, so I couldn't just sit back and relax..

‘But that doesn't mean···.’

As someone who was directly affected, I couldn't just defend that action..

In addition, the method suggested by Beoncheonhoeju as a solution was something he could not just accept and move on from..

Even the process of sprouting mystery by sacrificing most of Earth's humanity is nothing more than a stepping stone..

In some ways, his plan wasn't all that different from the destruction of the Earth..

“There's a lot to do. In addition to preventing the overflow of Buncheon meetings, there are also measures against foreign media. How did it end up like this??”

Obviously, my initial goal was just to get revenge on those who ruined my normal life and live a quiet but prosperous life..

In this way, I truly became responsible for the entire planet..

‘···Let's wash first. If you rush too much, nothing will happen..’

I barely got up with some of my strength and headed to the shower room..

As I was dazed, soaking my whole body in warm water, I felt like my complicated feelings were slowly dissolving..

‘Huh, the Earth is at the crossroads of destruction, so what is this?···.’

The moment I got out of the shower, drying my wet hair with a towel..

Tiririring—♪

The phone rang on the smartphone that was placed on the table..

-Gangtaesan

He was my one and only friend..

Other than that, I had no other place to call, so I was expecting it..

As he was the only 'normal life' left to me, we met often, drank together, and continued our relationship as comfortable friends..

Recently, I felt so sad that I was excited about the good atmosphere with a female employee from another department..

‘But what is happening at this time??’

The time is now approximately 10 am.

If you were an office worker, it was time to get to work as it had not been long since you came to work..

I can't believe I'm contacting you at this odd time, not during my usual evening work time or during my leisurely lunch hour..

I frowned slightly, feeling somewhat ominous, and answered the phone..

-Hey, are you free today??

A voice that feels calm, contrary to worry.

But I knew because we had been together for more than ten years..

Something serious has happened to this guy..

“I have so much time. But what happened all of a sudden? I'm sure you're not trying to brag about having a girlfriend again.?”

-Ahaha! Not like that this time.

I tried to speak in a bright voice, but the response I got back was very dull..

‘I don't think it has anything to do with my grandmother..’

Thanks to the secret but periodic divine power treatment, Kang Tae-san's grandmother was in a state of recovery as if she had never been sick before..

Even if you can't control the lifespan itself with divine power, you will be able to spend it without any minor illness until the given time runs out..

In the end, that afternoon, I left home earlier than usual to meet Kang Tae-san..

***

“I woke up.”

“Poop whoop—!”

And what I heard on the spot made me spit out the water in my mouth..

“······.”

“······.”

Two pairs of eyes meeting in quiet silence.

At the sincerity filled with that gaze, I closed my eyes tightly and complained in my mind, not knowing to whom..

‘It's already giving me a headache, but isn't it a bit too much to increase work here??’

···Of course, but.

There was no answer back.
