Chapter 118
turning point(1)
The world of Lee Dong-hoon, now mine, collapses.
The sky cracked and fell into pieces, and the fragments scattered in all directions like a meteor shower.
I see a piece of sky passing right by the window.
It reflects light like a huge glass, and it is dark blue because it contains night.
Through the hole in the sky, you can see Museon’s sky.
It looks the same as the fallen debris and decalcomani.
‘Charang-.’
When he let go of the sword that had cut Lee Dong-hun, it fell to the floor with a clear metal sound.
– The caster died. The barrier is destroyed.
I got rid of the notification window that popped up at the top and started looking at the ones below in order.
Anyway, whether or not this world collapses has no effect on reality.
The first thing to do is to check if you have properly mastered Lee Dong-hoon’s barrier.
-‘Dreamer who wants to return’ Lee Dong-hoon feels defeated.
– A greedy plunderer is activated.
– Exploring the characteristics of the target.
-characteristic. I found [Dream of wish-].
-Analyze [Dream of wish-].
-[Dream of wish- A+ Rank]
The world filled with the wishes of Lee Dong-hoon, an illusionist who longs for a return, is overlaid on reality through a barrier.
In the embodied world, you can obtain power close to reality – omnipotence – through a specific starter word. (However, direct interference with the minds of others is impossible.)
※ Actions in the dream world do not physically affect reality.
※ The barrier is canceled when the caster suffers mental damage.
-Gracious Pillager’s rating is lower than the corresponding trait.
-Looted attribute ratings are downgraded.
– You have a choice.
– There are two directions.
1. Cost- while maintaining the embodied world. (Running cost is basically mana, but you need something ‘worthy’ for extra maintenance.)
2. Decrease the performance of the barrier. It is lowered to the level of ‘involvement’, not the opening of reality. As a result, many gaps occur, and those with a certain level or higher are more likely to feel the difference in the barrier and escape.
I pressed number 1 without looking further.
The strength of this ability lies in its ‘perfection’.
What would be the value if the hypnosis-dream-of which you had to lock up and play with the other person could be easily awakened?
To put it simply, it means that the moment you lack any one of them, its value drops exponentially.
-[Dream of coving- B- Rank]
The dream that expresses the longing of ‘Kim Taeyang’ is superimposed on the reality.
In his own world, ‘Kim Taeyang’ obtains the power close to reality – omnipotence – through a specific starter word. (However, direct interference with the minds of others is impossible.)
※ Actions in the dream world do not physically affect reality.
※ The barrier is canceled when the caster suffers mental damage.
※ Maintaining the barrier requires a cost-worthy cost. (The amount of cost-cost- changes depending on the size and duration of the barrier.)
He licked his lips while pressing the ‘X’ mark located above the notification window.
It was a pity that he had to pay such a price to maintain the barrier.
I need to get rid of the annoying penalty by quickly raising the looter’s rating.
The heir to the throne and the skills he gained were all good, but the shackles ran away one by one.
Even that cost, I knew what kind of offering it was asking for.
“It must be over now.”
The notification window confirms that Lee Dong-hoon is dead, and the speed of collapse is accelerating because the image world has no intention of maintaining it.
The moment when Lee Yoo-ra and Choi Gyu-ri were about to get closer to a corner of the central hall where they had collapsed because there was nothing to do here anymore.
‘Support support position-.’
A noise was heard from behind.
It is the same sound as the old CRT TV late at night after all broadcasts have finished.
“… … What else is this?”
When I slowly turned my head in bewilderment, there was a noise at the place where Lee Dong-hoon had disappeared.
Pieces of gray and white polygons are mixed one after another, trying to create something.
I blankly watched the scene.
I’ve seen some videos before.
When the water was released inside the spaceship, the water remained a sphere, swinging back and forth in all directions before stabilizing.
The shape of the polygon mass in front of my eyes is almost the same as that.
“… … What the hell is that?”
He swallowed the dry saliva in his mouth and grabbed the handle of the sword he threw on the floor.
It’s nonsense. No, it can’t be.
In an instant, cold sweat began to form on my palms from the tension that tightened my heart.
It had to be.
The scene unfolding right in front of my eyes was one of the scenes where the higher-order beings who contracted with him appeared when he killed the contract holder – the incarnation!
The moment you hurriedly turn around and head in the direction where the kids are.
At the end of my vision, I saw that the fragments of the barrier that had fallen from the sky had stopped.
It stopped in the air precisely in front of the building’s window and refused to fall further.
The shaking of the building also stops. Soon, even the flow of mana and air stopped.
everything in the world stops
My head starts spinning badly.
Although he has a lot of words due to his past, he belongs to the [Holy Apocalypse] that calls for liberation from the upper world.
If there is no ‘opportunity’ that requires the existence of a higher world in any route, he is a person who does not think about the contract itself. There’s no way I can sign a contract right now due to time… … .
For a moment, I felt like I had been hit in the back of the head.
there is.
There was definitely that ‘movement’ that came about because of me.
“no way… … ?”
I killed his brother
And at a much earlier time than the original.
The death of his only younger brother was enough to make him want to return even more.
I could feel my limbs getting cold.
is it demonic? heaven? Or a forgotten realm of ancient gods?
Is it because I am the master of the world anyway?
Unlike the background that has already stopped, the body gradually hardens.
Unlike the body, the head was still spinning.
Either way it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t change the fact that I killed the contractor.
It was a self-evident fact that whoever appeared would be hostile to me.
Before the opponent fully appeared, I had to anticipate what type of existence it was.
Only then can it be advantageous to me or lead me in the direction of reducing the damage to a minimum.
I looked around.
Seeing the falling sky fragments stop and my body slowing down, at first I wondered if it was a gravitational entity, but I soon dismissed it.
If it was a type of existence that deals with gravity, when the window outside stopped, my body should have floated up rather than stopped, or the air should have sunk to the point where I couldn’t breathe.
However, the air shows no sign of being affected in any way.
It stopped on the spot with magic power.
Then the story becomes simple.
Donghun Lee, who wishes for [Return], a world that has stopped.
There is nothing more to look at, it is a time system.
It was understood that the collapse of the barrier had stopped.
That existence did not stop the barrier from collapsing, but stopped the time it took for the barrier to collapse.
A gray-white mass of polygons slowly begins to take shape.
At first it was a stable sphere, but soon stems sprouted from the sphere in five directions.
Along with the stems that change in the form of arms, legs, and heads, the mass in the center increases in size and then changes to the body.
damn… … .
Why is it ‘time’?
I wanted to bite my tongue, but I couldn’t even do that.
In either system, time is at the top.
A high-ranking demon king or an archangel in the heavens, if he was unlucky, he could have been a ‘god’.
Soon, the polygon mass took the perfect human form.
He is a male with a stout body of about 2m.
Her curly hair falls to her shoulders.
There are no wrinkles on the skin, but the color of the hair and face is grayish white like that of an old man.
under… … .
I laughed out loud because I knew who he was.
The situation has become clear.
I was the owner of the collapsing world, so I could think about it, but Lee Yu-ra and Choi Gyu-ri, who collapsed in a corner, couldn’t even do that.
The one who descended now was a regular customer who appeared without fail when talking about the strongest of the forgotten ancient gods.
He was once in charge of agriculture, but was elevated to the status of a ‘god of time’ due to ‘time’ being the most important factor in farming.
As a by-product of that, he even had a huge scythe in his hand.
All of this pointed to one god, so it was rude to think of another.
Chronos, the god of time.
He controlled the time of all things in the world just by descending.
With his eyes closed, he breathed in and savored it, slowly exhaling and opening his eyes.
His eyes are also greyish white. He looked around for a moment, then looked at me and opened his tightly closed mouth.
[Is it you? The guy who killed Jim’s servant.]
Everything touched by his voice trembles.
The twisted world, complaining of pain just a moment ago, trembled as if it had fallen on its knees before his authority.
As a result, the building shakes.
In any world, wherever there was time, there was no choice but to be powerless in front of it.
He extends the handle of his scythe, which is nearly two meters long, towards me.
The blade of the huge scythe wrapped around my neck glowed coolly.
[her… … . You can’t even answer He came personally to the death of his servant, but to think he died at least to this extent.]
He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
[While I was away for a while, something unusual happened… … . hmm?]
Cronus examines my face carefully. After looking around for a while, he smiled as if he was full of energy.
[Are you crazy?]
“Ugh… … !”
I regained my balance by catching up with my suddenly moving body.
Only me and Kronos’s surroundings began to flow normally.
[What makes you smile so much?]
are you laughing?
I? no it can’t be I can’t laugh at a ridiculous situation like this for the first time… … .
Looking at his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
It feels like touching the face of a proper person, not the hard plaster statue I felt when fighting Lee Dong-hoon.
“ah… … .”
Now, breath mixed with laughter escapes from the gaping mouth.
I couldn’t help laughing when I saw his face waiting for my answer.
Is this what makes your heart beat?
Plans and expectations were distorted, and unfolding that had not been experienced came out, and only then did interest and fun arise.
Looking at Cronus frowning, I was small and small.
I feel sorry for Cronus, who appeared majestically, but unfortunately he couldn’t even touch my fingertips.
