The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 146

Ssssssssssssss—!!!

As Den Howl’s magical power, which was holding up the poisonous cloud, was gradually depleted, the cloud suddenly dispersed.

“What’s going on…?”

The dark sky turned pure white, and as light enveloped my surroundings, I felt warmth as if the world was being purified.

▶ Breeze’s mother chants abundance (豊饒).

▶ The recovery of all things becomes faster.

[Crrr… Crrrrr….]

As a warm wind blew, the people who had been transformed by the poisonous cloud slowly began to return as if they had never happened before.

▶ The pantheon has ended.

▶ All sacred relics have been destroyed.

▶ Broken relics are created in a new location.

Coogggggggg…!!

The breeze instantly turned into a gust of wind and, intertwined with the surrounding light, began to rise into the sky like a waterspout.

“Are you finished?”

“I survived…”

The soldiers who were blocking the mutants lowered their guns and let out a low exclamation. I wondered if seeing a clear sky was such a joy.

Wow—!!!

Wow–!

There was silence for a moment, but soon cheers of survival rang out from everywhere.

Toduk… touduk….

And then, as if to satisfy their thirst, rain began to fall in the clear sky.

The rainwater was surprisingly warm without any sense of the season, and the people who got hit by the rain actually felt energized.

However, even when everyone was happy, there were some people who could not accept it purely.

“Now wait… you’re saying it’s over like this? Nonsense!”

Aira Michel turned her head and looked at Jinwei.

His face was just as confused as hers.

“It doesn’t end like this.”

It was then.

Aira Michel hurriedly turned her head when she heard a voice coming from behind her.

“We only provided a brief grace period. Have you checked the contents of the notification? The broken relic will be created soon. “When we find it once again, only then will the true pantheon come to an end.”

It was Namgung.

“That can’t be possible…”

“But even if the pantheon is not over, not all revelators will participate in the pantheon.”

“…what?”

Phuuk –

It was that time.

Namgung’s sword passed through Eira Michel’s neck.

“Ugh.”

It happened so quickly.

She looked bewildered, unaware of her own death, and quickly stopped the blood flowing from her neck with both hands.

“How…”

“It’s a power borrowed from Breeze’s mother. They say it can neutralize every defense you have. Because we have the same wavelength.”

Namgung looked at her aggrieved and spoke in a low voice.

“Well… even if I don’t have this kind of power, it won’t be a problem to kill you. “It saved me unnecessary trouble.”

“Why did I… why…”

“Don’t be too upset. “Because you’re not the only one.”

Kwaaaaang—!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge hammer fell on Jin Wei’s head.

Red blood flowed from between the hammers that were struck.

It was instant death.

People were so shocked by what happened so quickly that they couldn’t say anything.

“This is something the status accepted on the condition that the sacred relic is never destroyed again. A new revealer will be chosen for the Mother of the Breeze and the One Who Handles the Fire.”

Namgung said.

“It is said that broken relics are created inside the tower. “Whoever finds the Relics of both Aspects will ascend to the position of Revelator along with the rest of the Relics we possess.”

▶ The Tower of Woo (无) appears.

▶ The broken relic falls asleep inside the tower.

“But this is also a warning to all challengers. “A revelator must be someone who does not use humans as tools for his own purposes and knows how to respect human dignity.”

Before he knew it, the whole world began to pay attention to his words through the flying drones.

“Otherwise, whoever it is will end up like this.”

A camera attached to a drone captured the two corpses.

▶ The tower door opens.

▶ The species in the tower awaken.

It was the beginning of a new phase.

* * *

“It’s a tower… everyone is going crazy. Expeditions attempting to attack the tower are springing up one after another.”

Myung-Hoon said while looking at the white tower in the distance. Strangely, the tower was not located on the map.

But strangely, the tower was visible in every country.

It’s not real, but it exists…

It’s an ironic situation, but there’s no other way to explain the tower.

“Did you find the entrance?”

“well. “I guess they haven’t found it because the media hasn’t said anything yet.”

“I can see it, but I can’t go there… I can’t believe it when I see it.”

“I wonder if the world has changed like this because it was so believable until now.”

“Anyway, how are we supposed to attack the tower when we can’t go there?”

Ho-jun shook his head at Myung-hoon’s answer.

“Maybe it’s not an attack.”

“…What do you mean? older brother.”

“The other day, I went to the centipede den in Geumyeok, Biwol. “I originally went to look for a sacred object stolen by Katsumata, but I ended up going there.”

Everyone looked at Myung-Hoon at his words.

“They say it’s a place that even Biwol’s assassins couldn’t attack.”

“Heh… So, did you conquer the dungeon where even Katsumata failed?”

“no. “I didn’t attack.”

“yes?”

“It’s just that the oysters chose me.”

Ho-jun tilted his head at his strange answer, and the people seemed not to understand what he was saying.

“The dungeon chooses the conqueror… That certainly speaks to an experienced person.”

It was then.

The people were alert when the castle door opened and Katsumata came inside.

“There is no need for that. “Myeong-Hoon knows, but I also had a hand in letting him steal the sacred item.”

“Brother, have you been home?”

People stood up when they saw Namgung who came with Katsumata.

He gestured and stood in front of them.

“The emergence of these statuses is sudden, but in fact, they already remain in our history in a similar way.”

“Because the status is like that of God.”

“And spaces with spiritual power, like centipede dens, are like dungeons that remain in reality.”

“Hmm….”

Namgung looked at Myeonghun.

“What was it like when you first entered the centipede den?”

“It was a feeling that was difficult to express in words. What can I say… it feels like I’m on a cloud? “At first, it felt like it wasn’t real.”

“Was it similar to when you entered the dungeon?”

“It was a little different. The dungeons created due to the carnival… When you enter, it feels like you’re just entering a room from the living room? “It was like entering another space, but it didn’t make you feel like it wasn’t real.”

“Isn’t it strange? Rather, the dungeons created through the carnival are things that did not exist in reality, and the centipede den is a space that already existed in reality. “The latter feels more supernatural.”

“Hmm… I guess what you’re saying is that we shouldn’t divide the time between before and after the carnival. that’s right?”

As expected, the first to interpret Namgung’s words was Joo Soo-in.

“So, in fact, supernatural beings like Carnival already existed in the past that we don’t know about…”

“that’s right. Yor said something like that. “The gods of Olympus and other gods recorded in history also have status.”

“Does that mean there was a carnival in the past?”

“It’s not impossible.”

In response to Myung-Hoon’s question, Joo-In said:

“There are many stories in our history about gods causing war. Things like Ragnarok might have been a kind of carnival.”

“Huh…”

“But what does that have to do with the tower?”

“It is said that the races that participated in the carnival are trapped inside the tower.”

“Is it something like elves or dwarves? There is such a thing. “Different races that appear in novels.”

“It’s not impossible. Just looking at the proxy clan, there are already beings like fairies and naga. “There are quite a few different races that we think of.”

At Namgoong’s answer, Gyeongin, Seongwoo, and Somin’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“It’s not just a good thing. “But there is no guarantee that they will be friendly to us.”

“yes. The monsters end when they hunt the boss and close the door, but if they coexist in this world with us…” “

Now the situation is completely different. “Because one more enemy of a different race is added.”

Unlike the three excited people, Joo Joo-in and Chang-hwan judged the current situation calmly.

“It is truly a cataclysm.”

“There is no need to be scared. “It wasn’t like we were unprepared like Carnival, but we were strong enough through our past experiences.”

“Are you planning on attacking the tower?”

“of course.”

Namgung nodded to Myung-hoon’s question.

The Tower of Wu was a singularity that did not exist even in my previous life. Therefore, it was difficult for Namgung to estimate how T.O.P would change the upcoming carnival.

‘The original plan was to use Aira Michel and Jinwei as bait to provoke a fight between the Aspects…’

Surprisingly, the two Aspects completely gave up their Aspects.

And as a condition for opening the Tower of Wu, a condition was set on selecting a new Revelator.

‘Revelators who start late are bound to be weaker than us, so they won’t be an immediate threat, but…’ He

couldn’t rule out the possibility of another competitor blocking his path.

‘He’s not an easy opponent after all.’

As a result, the number of phases remained the same.

That is why Namgung wanted to attack the tower of Wu.

‘As Breeze’s Mother said, if the races defeated by Carnival are trapped in the tower, they may be able to borrow their power on the condition of liberation.’

Of course, we must not forget the opposite case as well. Rather, there will be more such people.

It wouldn’t be strange at all if they gave orders to kill themselves in exchange for freedom.

“But let alone conquering it, we haven’t even found the entrance to the tower yet. “For that, we need the strength of both of you.”

Namgung looked at Myung-hoon and Katsumata.

“Us?”

“The centipede den is one of the few places where sacred objects still exist. “How did you two get in there?”

“Uhm….”

Myung-Hoon glanced at Katsumata.

“I didn’t do anything in particular. Katsumata said this to me when we talked about sacred objects. “I’ll give it to you if you clear the dungeon that you haven’t conquered yet.”

“so?”

“I thought it was simply a dungeon created by a carnival. So I didn’t have any doubts.”

He scratched his head slightly.

“Following Biyue’s guidance, I arrived at the entrance of the cave… and just went inside.”

“Can you see the entrance to the cave with the naked eye?”

Katsumata shook his head.

“It was actually surprising. Although I guided him to the centipede den at Erica’s command… “The guidance we do is all about placing people at designated coordinates.”

“That means even Bi-wol doesn’t know the entrance to the cave, right?”

“That’s right.”

Myung-Hoon made an expression that he did not understand Katsumata’s answer.

“No, it’s definitely a large cave entrance….”

“That’s it.”

“yes?”

“It’s been a week since the tower was created, but we still haven’t found the entrance to the tower.”

Myung-Hoon looked at him.

“Why are you and Katsumata the only ones among the Violin assassins who were able to attack the cave?”

Namgung said.

“Maybe the entrance to the tower doesn’t exist.”

“What is that… Then how do you get into the tower, Captain?”

Ho-jun asked back as if he didn’t understand, but Joo-in Ju, who was smart, understood Nagung’s words right away.

“It’s not about whether something really exists or not… what’s important is believing that it exists.”

He closed his eyes tightly.

“Keuung…”

He shook his head back and forth as if he was trying hard, but there was no significant change.

“Why not?”

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!

It was then.

As a group of lights spread in front of them, the shadows of the people gathered began to come together.

The shadow bounced in front of Myung-Hoon, took the shape of a sphere, and stretched vertically again.

“…uh?”

A door was created.

“What is it? “What did you do?”

Joo-sain asked as if he was surprised, but Myeong-hun, the person who actually did this, also looked confused.

“Did you get an answer?”

“Are you saying it is the actualization of consciousness? Well, I’m not sure yet whether it’s pure or simple.”

Katsumata spoke in a low voice as he looked at Myung-hun who opened the tower door.

“But you will find out soon. I came here to see the answer with my own eyes.”

The black door trembled lightly as if waiting for their challenge.

“To the tower.”

Namgung stepped into it.
