The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 204

‘Reacts to necromancy?’

Namgung was able to discover fine sparkling powders in the liquid contained in the glass bottle.

▶ Soul Eye Lv 10 is activated.

▶ I encountered a high-level spirit.

▶ The level of soul eyes you currently possess is insufficient, so you cannot see fully.

Hua Ah … !!

With a warning, Namgung’s vision was reversed.

‘This…’

Namgung was able to understand why the liquid that had not responded in the Three Poison Gate was now activated.

‘I didn’t summon him with my soul’s eye. I can only see him because he wants to.’

Truly an upgrade.

The soul permeating the tears was clearly a being much higher than himself.

“Accept it.”

And Kuhuran, who felt the spirit, also felt that the spirit was calling Namgung and that he should not miss this opportunity.

▶ Friendly spirits around you sympathize with you.

“….”

Namgung slowly opened his closed eyes.

The reversed vision was no longer reality, and everything was a distorted world.

And there was a child sitting in the center of the twisted place.

[I never thought we would meet like this. It was a lot of hard work. My descendant.]

The naked child stood up and held out his hand to Namgung.

“Who are you?”

The child smiled brightly at Namgung’s question.

[I am human.]

It was such an obvious answer that Namgung, who asked the question, was embarrassed.

“Yor said that what was in the glass bottle were the tears of the primordial humans. “So you’re saying you are the original human?”

[that’s right. I am the first human to meet Ran and Wu. I probably know more about them than Shang, right?]

The child said, pointing to the chain wrapped around Namgung’s wrist.

[It’s a chain of friendship. Did he give this to you? Anyway, he’s a fun guy. You give something like this to a person who can’t even handle it.]

Namgung’s expression hardened at the child’s words.

“What do you mean you can’t handle it?”

[You probably know that, right? This chain. If you don’t have the power of the phase, you can’t use it properly. Isn’t it?]

You’re not wrong.

Because he was engaged in a war of nerves with Carlos to restore the strength of the chain.

[But there is no need to be too hasty. It’s the power of status through victory in the Octagon War… It’s not a bad plan. But Carlos is still the same.]

“Are you reading my memories now? How did know?”

[Haha, am I looking into the memories of a mere human? I have no need or intention to go through such trouble.]

“Then?”

[I’m not reading. I just know. Just as parents can know what their children are thinking. Even if I just stay still, I can feel your memories and thoughts.]

The child looked at Namgung.

[And that you went back in time.]

“…Yes, they say you are a human from the beginning, but it is true that you are unusual.”

[It looks like they are planning to tame the dead Revelator and take on the test of Avatar. It’s quite an interesting idea, but… I don’t know how much the past war heroes you think of can help them grow.]

The child said.

[It is true that they achieved great achievements, but in the end, it was a war between humans. Because fighting against a god is a completely different story.]

“What they learn from heroes is not fighting skills, but the will to fight.”

[Indomitable. Yeah, good. If you are confident that you won’t break. But once you break it, you can never go back. But wasn’t their will already broken by you once?]

“So? “Did you agree with me just to complain?”

Namgung could not hide his displeasure at the harsh words.

[Haha, I didn’t call you to bother you. Rather, I want to help you. I also love this world. So that humans will no longer be tormented by God.]

The child held out his hand toward him.

[Did you ask who I was? Adam… Embla… The origins of humanity left behind in human history. I am not one of those people. Because, as mentioned, they are the first humans left in human history.]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of…

“…!!”

Surprisingly, at that moment, a blue chain appeared on the child’s wrist. It was similar to the chain wrapped around Namgung’s wrist, but strangely different.

[This is the chain of ran.]

“Why do you have that?”

[haha. Now you’re telling me to smile, right? Rather, I think that’s something I should ask? The chains were originally one pair.]

Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!

As if Namgung’s chain was being sucked in, it became entangled with the child’s chain.

“….”

Due to the strength of the chain, Namgung’s waist was bent and he knelt down so that he was at eye level with the child.

[I have no name. In fact, it’s funny that later people even know about the first humans. I am the first, so how can those behind me know me?]

Namgung looked into the child’s eyes.

[But it would be uncomfortable to call me without my name. If you really want to name me… Yes, Ran and Wu sometimes call me this.]

The child’s mouth moved.

[It’s called ru.]

Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!

When the tangled chain was released, Namgung hurriedly stepped back.

“What do you have to do with the status of the beginning?”

[Not really… any relationship. In the beginning, two phases were born and the world was established, so it is only natural that humans are born in between. Because of that, I was born.]

“You see my memories, so you know. Ran is trapped in Wu’s Tower and Wu is sealed in Ran’s Nest. Why are all the so-called Primal Aspects locked up?”

[Because it went beyond the law. Because Wu wanted to destroy the Aspects and eliminate the Carnival.]

“Then what about Lan? Isn’t Ran the one who stands on the side of the Aspects? “Why is he trapped in the tower too?”

[Ran is not trapped. You are protected. If Woo (无) is a being of inflection, Ran (亂) is a being of natural order and an ancestor of all phases. When he disappears, the phases disappear. So the current Aspects are trying to protect Ran at all costs.]

“Ran told me at the tower the other day. He says he can unseal himself with the chains I have. “Then, can you break Wu’s seal with the chain you have?”

[maybe. Of course, it depends on your capabilities.]

The child let out a strange laugh as if he knew what Namgung was trying to do.

[You want a chain.]

“It would be nice to have one. Ran and Wu. “Those two are clearly a threat to their current status.”

[But haven’t you ever thought that they are more dangerous than their current status?]

“I’m looking for my colleagues from my past life to confirm that. “Even though he failed, he was with Woo.”

[I see.]

Lu nodded and untied the chain from his wrist and handed it to Namgung. The sound of

chains

clinking was heard.

[Take it with you.]

“…Is it something that can be given away so easily?”

[Because even if you take it anyway, you won’t be able to use it. The conditions of use are the same as those of Wu. The power of the phase is needed.]

Kwak….

The moment Namgung was about to pick up the fallen chain, Lu grabbed his wrist.

[Using the power of phase means you are no longer human. Keep in mind that the more you reach what you want to do, the more you have to give up being human.]

“….”

Lu said to him.

[If it were me, I wouldn’t use the chain.]

“It would be better to have it and not use it than to want to use it but not be able to use it.”

Namgung grabbed the chain without hesitation.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh…

Then the two chains merged into one and a thick, neutral chain wrapped around his arm.

[That’s not wrong either. It was nice to meet you. It’s sad that this damn carnival still exists… but I hope it survives.]

“This won’t be the end, right?”

[What?]

“The first human being left behind for future generations is nothing more than a chain that cannot be used? “I’m so disappointed.”

Lu looked at Namgoong and smiled.

[Oh my. Don’t even think about doing business with me. I am not a phase. Since it is just a being that was asleep, it has nothing.]

“It was just a sleeping entity? “Then why did you cry?”

[What?]

“If it were the beginning where there was nothing, there would be nothing to be sad about. But what did you see and what did you feel that made you shed tears? “Aren’t you at least aware of the future that future generations will face?”

Lu did not answer Namgung’s question.

However, Namgung knew from that silence that he had correctly grasped his context.

[You guessed wrong.]

“…What?”

But Lou responded with a wry smile, as if he knew what he was thinking.

[I have no love for future generations. I have lived alone my entire life from birth to extinction.]

“Then…?”

[Those tears were regret.]

“Regret?”

[Regret for being born as a human being, not a god. [The jealousy and desire that I too would rather be a god.]

Namgung didn’t know how to react to Lu’s unexpected answer.

[Is it much different from what you expected? But what can I do? This is me and my appearance. What you should ask me is not the value of those tears, but ‘Why does the owner of the seven snakes have my tears?’]

“What does that mean?”

[Master of the Seven Serpents. He is the first phase born from Lan and Wu and the god who created humans.]

“Yor… is the god who created humans?”

[He is sometimes the snake that fed the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and he is also the being who planted tree branches on the beach. Didn’t you notice something strange?]

“What?”

[Why did he choose you, who was trying to rebel against his superiors, as a revealer? Really for simple curiosity and entertainment?]

Lu shook his head.

[no. Rather, the reason I chose you may be closer to atonement. The guilt of creating a human being and tormenting him endlessly in the carnival.]

Gwaak-

Namgung clenched his fist without realizing it.

[That may be why Yor is different from other phases. Since the memories of Sang Sang are passed down, the regrets will have piled up over a long period of time, weighing on him even more heavily.]

“Then, could he help me rebel against Sang Sang?”

[well. You don’t know that. No matter how much you regret it, it is ultimately about your status. If the atonement was true, wouldn’t it have helped Wu when he and Leoric tried to break this vicious cycle?]

Lu lightly shrugged his shoulders.

[Because a snake is an unknown being. don’t trust him However, if you want to grasp the inflection…]

His voice pierced Namgung’s ears.

[Use a snake.]
