7th rank.
In terms of knighthood, Grand Master.
In any race, those who reach that level are called the strongest of the race.
It doesn’t even exist in every era.
Humans might only come out once in 100 years, and in the case of the Abyss’ powerful heterogeneous races, there was only one major supply for each race.
‘By the way… How old is he now?’
Nell stared at Leo.
From the outside, she looked much younger.
However, she is much older than she looks.
It was to the extent that he had lived even longer than the great Karst.
He was a transcendent, so he was beyond the limits of his lifespan, but even when she saw it, Leo was unreasonable.
“As expected, it deserves to be called our hope.”
“what?”
“Yes. You really can.”
Nell muttered to himself with Leo in front of him.
No matter how many times I asked what that meant, Nell didn’t answer.
“It’s done. Keep your promise now.”
Leo held out his hand.
Since he had successfully cured Lord Ryant, it was a gesture to ask him to do what he promised.
Nell sighed.
“ah… If other kids heard this, they would be really angry. Can’t you just grant me another wish? Even though I’m like this, I’m pretty good at it. If there is anything you want, just tell me.”
“What I want is what your purpose is. What did you do to me and why? I just listen to it.”
“Sigh… .”
Nell made a pitiful expression at Leo’s resolute appearance.
“Anyway, if you become a transcendental person and officially enter our heavenly world, will you be able to hear it?”
“Are you able to speak two words with one mouth as one transcendental person?”
“Ah… .”
Nel scratched her purple hair and sighed again.
“Okay. Follow.”
“Where?”
“You shouldn’t tell Verdict about this. I can’t tell you here.”
if that’s the reason
Leo nodded.
* * *
After coming out of the house, Nell even used space travel to move to another place.
After passing through the rolling waves, the place that appeared was in some forest.
“It will be fine here.”
“Did you really have to come to this place?”
“What do you view a 7th class mage as? If you eavesdrop in an unexpected way, I’ll be in trouble. But if we open a barrier, it’s much easier to just move through space.”
Space movement is easier than barriers.
Other wizards might wonder what that means, but people specializing in that field, such as Nell and Vivian, deserved to say that.
“great. Then let’s hear it.”
“yes. Where to start… .”
Nel perched on a suitable rock and pondered over how to get the haste out.
Leo started by asking light questions so that she could speak more comfortably.
“If you’re worried, tell me why you tried to save Verdict Lyant’s ball.”
“You said that before. They say they are trying to gather mages by attribute.”
“Why?”
“If the top level mages of each attribute gather, an absolute defense magic circle can be built. Theoretically, it was completed, but I couldn’t execute it because there was no brain attribute wizard. Verdict is the most promising talent, so I intervened early.”
Absolute defense magic circle?
why do you need that?
Leo tried to ask more about it, but Nell opened his mouth in earnest to see if his head was organized.
“First of all, did you say you were curious about our goal?”
“yes.”
“Simple. I’m protecting this world from the gods.”
“… … ?”
god?
At the sudden remark, Leo tilted his head.
“Is there a god here?”
Leo had been playing this game for a long time, but if you ask him if there is a god in this world, he didn’t know.
The priest uses the power of healing, but it is ambiguous to say that he received it from God.
It’s because it’s supposed to be a kind of healing magic.
“No. There is no god in this world.”
Nell shook her head.
“Maybe there used to be, but definitely not now.”
“Aren’t you too sure?”
“I have to be sure. We are taking the role of God right now.”
“… … .”
“What role do you think God should play?”
“… Well. Caring for living beings?”
“no. Living things know how to survive. You don’t have to take care of every single one of them. It’s not that God can’t do that.”
Nell laughed.
“Rather, what God should do is the opposite. Instead of caring for your own creatures, you must defend those outside of them.”
“Outside?”
“It means we have to stop the alien invasion.”
Leo looked at her with a puzzled expression.
What kind of haunting ghost is this?
Nell picked up and laughed.
“yes. I don’t understand. You must know quite well about this world. Haven’t you heard of extraterrestrials?”
“… uh.”
“yes. usually you just don’t know Exactly, no one knows unless it belongs to our Cheon Oecheon.”
After saying that, Nell continued talking bitterly.
“I said it before. There is no god in our world. I don’t know if he died a long time ago or what, but because there is no god, he’s completely defenseless from the outside world.”
“… Are the aliens you mentioned belligerent?”
“Are you quick to understand? right. It’s not exactly an alien, but an alien god is very warlike.”
After that, Nell’s explanation continued.
The wider the domain of the being of God, the closer it is to its complete form and the stronger its authority.
That’s why he always wanted to rule the other world.
However, most of the planets had gods, so when they fought each other, the loss was greater than the gain.
That’s why battles between gods were rare, but this world was different.
“lets think. A planet without gods. What would you think from the perspective of an alien god?”
“… Wouldn’t it be like a banquet with no one watching over it?”
“I’d like it a thousand times more than that, but it’s similar.”
Nell nodded.
“That’s why we’ve been trying to stop the alien god for a long time. The moment a god from another dimension takes over this place, hell begins for living beings. It’s to the point where it feels like child’s play to fight the conflicts between different races right now.”
“Then are you moving with only that one goal?”
“yes. Regardless of race, regardless of behavior. Those who have reached the level of transcendence all belong to the same group, and do what God cannot do. It’s impossible alone, but if several transcendentalists join forces, it’s roughly possible to do it.”
Humans and the different races of the Abyss have been fighting each other for a very long time.
From the time they were born, they were taught that each other was an enemy, and many generations had already gone through war.
But that was until he became a transcendentalist.
The moment you transcend, your spirituality is pierced and you realize the will of heaven.
“Even now, I can see the eyes above me. The pupil of the god who is always looking for this place.”
“… … .”
Nell looked up at the sky.
Leo followed her and bent his head, but all he could see was the blue sky.
“I can’t see anything?”
“It’s normal that you don’t feel that at your level yet.”
“… yes. Thanks for telling me.”
“Then, are the questions over?”
“no. one more. so what am i Why did you guys call me and what do you want from me?”
I know very well that the heavenly world is not such a bad force.
But what does that have to do with you?
“Um… . Actually, I didn’t want to ask about that… . Whew. I’ll be scolded by the other kids later.”
Nell frowned when he tried to slip away and failed.
“We are transcendental, but we are not gods. No matter how hard you try, there are limits.”
“therefore?”
“We’ve been blocking the invasion of gods for over hundreds of years, but if we keep going like this, someday we’ll lose. We know it and our opponents know it. So a workaround was needed.”
At one time, I hoped that one of the transcendental beings would become a god.
Everyone practiced endlessly, but no one managed to break through the wall of transcendence one more time.
“That was our limit. Half-pounders who have transcended the limits of mortals, but cannot become gods.”
In Nell’s calm voice, I could feel the long-held resentment.
“We finally conceded. That our limit ends here. It was hard not to talk about the process, but… Well, whatever. You can’t give up, can you? The alien god invasion is getting stronger by the day, and we had to come up with a countermeasure. And that… .”
“Did you call me?”
“right.”
Nell nodded.
“There are many things you can do when you become a transcendental person. The background and abilities of our world can be projected into another dimension in a specific form. That’s how I found the most suitable person. and you won Do you know why without telling me?”
“… … .”
Leo kept his mouth shut.
It seemed like he knew without having to tell me more.
Knowledge of almost everything in the Lost World, character growth rate that is incomparable to other users, etc.
Of course it would have stood out.
“Then what happened to this body? This is a character I made, but could it be that I created it artificially?”
“no way. I am not a god and I cannot do that.”
Nell shrugged.
“You would think you created the character Leo, but you are wrong. People with this kind of talent existed from the beginning, and you chose that body according to our intentions.”
“You chose?”
“yes. We’ve been thinking about it for a long time. How can I become a god? The result of that contemplation was, ‘It is possible if a body worthy of becoming a god dwells with that level of consciousness.’”
So I observed the entire continent for a long time.
Regardless of race, the talents of all children born were secretly identified and levels were divided.
“Then I finally found it. A body full of talent that no transcendentalist in history can match. I just put your consciousness verified in another dimension into it.”
“… … .”
Leo kept his mouth shut.
He heard the full story of why he was kidnapped from a peaceful Earth to this damn world.
However, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
It just makes me more annoyed.
“What do you want from me? what do you say to me Could it be that you want to become a god? If it’s something like that, I don’t know how to do it, I don’t know how to do it, and I have no intention of doing it.”
“It’s not like that. Just stop the invasion of that alien god.”
“… You talk like it’s nothing.”
Leo muttered dumbfounded.
That was the moment.
“… … !”
Nel suddenly looked up at the sky with a serious expression.
“? what? what’s the matter?”
“… … .”
Nell didn’t answer Leo’s question either.
After staring at the sky for a while, she looked back at Leo and grabbed his forearm.
“yes. Better to see it than to explain it all day in words. let’s go. I will show you.”
She grabbed Leo and crossed the space again.
The scenery changes in a flash.
The next moment, Leo was floating in a pitch black space.
And in front of him, a pair of gigantic eyes were looking at this place.
