The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 245

▶ The crown of the octagonal hall was obtained.

▶ Owners can receive the winner’s benefits when using the crown.

▶ Benefits do not apply until the crown is used.

As the magic circle surrounding his entire body disappeared, Namgoong looked at the crown left on his hand.

“Wasn’t it supposed to rise to status right away?”

[It gives you the final choice. Because the moment you wear the crown, you cross an irreversible river.]

“You’re being unnecessarily kind about something like this.”

[Well, should this really be called kindness? To me, it actually seems like a bad prank that will make me take one more test.]

“Isn’t it funny that you, a person of great rank, would say something like that?”

Yor shrugged his shoulders at Namgung’s words.

[Because it’s true. Isn’t this no different from warning people not to wear the crown until the very end? I don’t like doing this.]

“I see.”

Namgung smiled bitterly and nodded.

“I’m not particularly impressed because it’s not a problem I really need to worry about.”

[This is what you said right before the ceremony. Are you serious about that? Hunting Woo is something even our superiors could not have imagined.]

“There is nothing we cannot do. Even if the carnival ends like you said, we, as a clan of surrogates, will continue to be dragged around this damn festival. “The only way to put an end to it is to escape from the proxy clan.”

[It’s not wrong, but… if you make a mistake, your daughter could be in danger. In any case, she is the revealer of Wu.]

“I know. But there’s no way Su-ah would make So-min her revealer for no reason.”

[Maybe there was no choice? Because we need his revealer to turn humanity into a clan of agents and end the carnival.]

As he said, Somin was the only person who could become Woo’s revealer.

[No matter how much you wanted to become the head of the Daeja clan, it would not have been possible without your daughter.]

“I know.”

[There is some kind of plan? Okay, can you tell me? This is a space where you can’t hear even if it’s rain.]

“I can’t trust you.”

[Kukkeuk.]

Yor burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded by Namgung’s answer.

[Anyway, he’s an unpredictable guy. Go. I guess the carnival is no longer important to you. We need to prepare for the upcoming phase battle.]

He continued.

[The connector of the six-way bridge is trickier than you might think. You probably saw the six hands floating around him, right?]

Namgung nodded.

[The weapons held in each hand are different. And each weapon alone can produce power equivalent to its phase. In other words, dealing with him may mean dealing with six Aspects.]

Yor warned him with strength in his voice.

[I brushed it off, but this guy is strong. If you treat it like the monsters you’ve dealt with so far, you’ll get seriously hurt.]

“Keep that in mind.”

[Namgoong.]

“…?”

[I don’t hate you. But I don’t think it’s right to kill the Aspects. Because the regret I have for creating mankind and the continuation of the carnival have different meanings.]

“I don’t hate you either. “It’s the snake that knocked humans out of paradise… I was honestly surprised when I heard that he regretted it.”

[Because if that hadn’t happened, humans wouldn’t have had to suffer from the carnival.]

“If that hadn’t happened, humans themselves wouldn’t have existed. You say you regret it, but for me, it’s something I’m thankful for. “Because I was able to exist as a human, I met Su-ah and So-min was born.”

[Perhaps… there is no other reason for wanting to become a status other than ending the carnival.]

“Another plan?”

[For example, the idea of bringing your wife back to life.]

Namgung looked at Yor’s words with wide eyes, as if he was a little surprised.

“Can you do something like that if you become a person?”

[There’s nothing you can’t do. But do you know why mortals are more important than the immortal God?]

“Why?”

[Because when they die, they cannot come back. Even if you bring your wife back to life, you can’t say she’s really the person you knew.]

“Even if the soul exists?”

[How do you even know if that soul is real or fake? Even though we are God and omnipotent, we are not omniscient. Since the immortal phase can also disappear, we do not know what is behind extinction.]

“Parallel world. “It’s like I don’t know if this world I returned to is the world I originally was in, or a new world derived from the quest.”

[that’s right. We who exist here seem unique and amazing, but in fact, if you look at the bigger world, we may be nothing more than accessories.]

“I understand. That’s why I don’t think killing you is the real ending.”

[So what you were thinking about was killing Woo? What sets humans free?]

At that moment, Namgung shook his head.

“My daughter is more important than any human being in the world. My daughter must come first when I want to be free. Think carefully. “Is the way to free Somin from that guy really by killing him?”

[Hmm… The most certain way is for the phase to disappear, but then the Revelator will also suffer a blow. Even four daughters would not be able to withstand the repulsive force caused by the disappearance of a special status like Yu.]

Yor thought while cupping his chin, but his expression was indifferent.

[However, changing the revealer while preserving his status would be impossible without Wu’s permission…]

He looked at Namgung as if seeking an answer.

“If we can’t change the revealer, we can change the phase.”

[…What?]

For a moment, Yor looked like he didn’t understand, but then his eyes widened.

[No way…?!!]

“I’m going to the tower.”

[Now wait…! You crazy guy!! Do you even know what you are trying to do! Trying to save your daughter could turn the whole world upside down!]

Yor shouted as he grabbed Namgung who was about to leave.

“so?”

[…What?]

“To save the world, So-min sacrificed himself by becoming Woo’s revealer. In that case, the world must sacrifice itself at least once to save Somin.”

[Are you serious?]

Namgung said to Yor.

“I’m always sincere.”

Namgung walked without hesitation.

There was an incident there in the tower.

[How to make Woo (无) not Woo (无)… Obviously, if the original phase becomes one, it will become a new phase. But…]

Yor bit his lip and looked at the door where Namgung had disappeared.

[That’s what Woo also wanted. Do you understand Namgung? If Ran and Wu combine… it could cause an even bigger disaster.]

He also left.

[I have to meet Weina.]

Thinking that this might be the reason why the guide in the fog was silent, he quickened his pace.

* * *

[This is a report. It is said that half of the monsters summoned to Saipan have disappeared. As many monsters died, their heads poured out.]

Changrang—

A lot of gold coins fell on the floor.

In fact, it was a head that only counted without substance, so the coins scattered on the floor were something completely different.

[The human race will be able to purchase even stronger weapons, so it seems like it is only a matter of time before the remaining monsters are wiped out.] The

coins that fell on the ground grew rapidly like a mountain, and Gyu-ryu, who was swimming in them, said to Namgung.

“Don’t do anything useless. “Because I’m crazy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the coins piled up disappeared and Gyu-ryu stood in front of Namgung.

“How long do you think it will take to finish?”

[If this goes on, all the monsters will be caught within a week.]

“It’s just one week… I understand.”

Namgung opened the castle door, stood in front of the tower door leading to the second floor, and nodded.

“What about Somin?”

[It hasn’t returned yet. Since I am not of an ordinary status… it seems that it is taking a long time to inherit the power of Wu.] [

No one knows whether it is taking a long time or whether they are trying to hold me hostage.]

[Uhm… .]

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Gyu Ryu cleared his throat and turned his head.

“Are you here?”

[You are amazing. In the end, neither I nor that guy gained the power of the phase without sacrificing anything.]

It was Carlos of the devil tribe.

“What is that expression? Shouldn’t you be grateful to me instead? “Thanks to me, you were able to live.”

[yes yes. That’s right.]

[Just looking at that makes him look regretful. Weren’t you trying to steal the power of that bastard’s phase?]

Gyu-ryu whispered into Namgung’s ear like a child giving instructions.

[But do you really plan to become a status?]

Carlos clicked his tongue as he looked at the crown in Namgung’s hand.

[It is said that the connector of the six-way bridge pointed out Phase War… He is a being that transcends space. As soon as you put on that crown, before you can even use your power, that sword will stab Namgung without you even noticing.]

[What are you saying? Do you think I’ll just leave something like that alone?]

[What can you do? Now that you’ve become the head of the Yasha clan, you don’t see anything anymore, right? Are you saying that we, who are at best a clan of agents, will get involved in the affairs of the Aspect?]

Carlos waved his hand.

[Arthur. Arthur.]

[This is…!!]

“It’s not wrong. There’s no way they’ll wait for me to slowly get stronger. Phase war? It’s not like a battle where the board is laid out. “I’m sure they are still watching closely to see when I will wear the crown.”

[Then what?]

“The upper part of the tower is the only secret place that not even the Aspects know about. There, I will be able to gather the power of the Aspect without being disturbed.”

[But don’t you have to open the door to get in? As you know, you need the power of phase to open the door to the upper level. There’s no way Namgung’s status can help… but he can’t use the power of the crown.]

“There’s one more status here.”

[…Yes?]

Namgung put the crown down on the floor.

“Ran(亂).”

Grumbling…!!

At that moment, the crown caught fire and melted.

[…!!]

Gyu-ryu and Carlos, who watched it, could not help but be astonished.

[It’s the crown of the octagon… I never thought I’d see this again. Don’t worry. Because it wasn’t intercepted.]

Ran, who playfully appeared with a crown on his head, said to Namgung.

[It’s sealed, so you need fuel to use the power of the phase. With this crown, opening the door is not difficult.]

“Open the door.”

[But why should I do it? I think it would be more fun to watch you just wear the crown and get killed by the Aspects.]

“You don’t want me to die.”

[That’s not even funny. I have to help you, the guy who is plotting to kill Woo and me?]

“Of course. Only when I become a person can you all become one. When I die, things will be no different from now. “You will still be trapped in the tower.”

[Unlucky guy…]

Namgung pushed Ran away and stood in front of the door.

“If you know, just shut up and open the door.”
