Yeon-woo quickly collected himself. No. Its not Valdebich. Despite taking on Valdebichs appearance, it was clearly the Crawling Chaos from its aura. He wondered whether the being had taken Valdebich as his Apostle, but it was clearly a manifestation made of thoughts.
Seems like you know soone who looks like this. The Crawling Chaos smirked, reading Yeon-woos thoughts.
I need to be careful not to have my thoughts read. Was this the power of a god? The Crawling Chaos could read his thoughts too easily. Yeon-woo pulled up his magic power to defend his mind.
He was a cute creature that isnt commonly seen. A half-blood of Giants and humans. I dont know how a transcendent species and bugs managed to mix together. I cant understand what they were thinking. There are so many things I dont understand about the outer world.
The outer world was what those from the otherworld called the Tower. Then did they consider themselves the inner world?
What happened to Valdebich?
Human, thats not important right now. The Crawling Chaos laughed at him, still using Valdebichs appearance. Even if he acknowledged that Yeon-woo was close to his standing, he could still kill Yeon-woo any ti he was bored. The fact that a cosmic being like himself would speak to a re microbe like this was already laughable. If it werent for the emptiness or the Black King, he wouldnt have been interested at all.
No matter how he expressed his thoughts, that stupid and dull head wouldnt be able to comprehend them, and having to cut up his thoughts into tiny fragnts in order to convey them was too botherso.
But since he wanted the microbe to understand him, he had to manifest a body to help him translate and interpret their conversation. He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. So. What is the deal you want to make? Youll create a path for to return to the Tower? What could a little human offer him? If Yeon-woo was wasting the Crawling Chaos ti with sothing useless, the being wouldnt forgive him.
He only lived for amusent, so he sotis gladly accepted human whims. Yeon-woos offer wasnt sothing he could just ignore. For those who lived in the inner world like him, the Tower was an enigmatic place where the laws of nature were crossed and broken. It was theoretically possible for an interdinsional world of multiple universes to exist there.
However, since nature naturally resisted the energies of the world, it was impossible for the Tower to maintain a stable state. So ordinary transcendents lived in the Tower, but a few divinities equal to him were also trapped inside like cows and pigs on a farm!
It was impossible to think that beings like them, who had existed since the beginning of the universe, would be trapped in this way. Most importantly, it has his traces!
He was the laws of the universe, and there was no way to cross him. In the end, theyd used tricks to bring forth emptiness and trap him within it. The beings of the inner world had suffered for eons without knowing how to find him. It was a surprise to find his traces in the outer world that their senses couldnt penetrate, a place so small and remote that the beings of the inner world had no interest in it at all.
The Crawling Chaos, who was omnipotent, wasnt an exception to this. He and the other gods had extended their holy powers and abilities to reclaim his traces, but they failed. It was true that the Tower was full of little microbes, but there were great beings there as well who easily matched them. It was a shocking revelation to the beings of the inner world. It was already a strange thought that mortals and immortals would live together in a cramped space, and there were even beings like them struggling to co out!
On top of that, the interior of the Tower had so kind of barrier that kicked their powers out. It was a bit difficult to attack it directly. If the beings of the inner world worked together and officially invaded, they could take over the Tower easily. However, at the sa ti, they would be unsealing the great beings within the Tower and risk losing the traces of the Black King.
This was why the Crawling Chaos had switched tactics to use the mortals that sought him. Annexation would be hard, but he believed that if he continued to poke holes with a needle, hed find a way to enter the Tower. It was a mundane and ti-consuming process, but what did that matter? All they had was ti.
In fact, it had beco a source of amusent for the Crawling Chaos, as hed been feeling a sense of ennui lately. Also, at the beginning, hed t so decent beings. Trascendental species like Giants and dragons had taken an interest in him. They had an innate divinity, but they were fated to fall one day, making them perfect for him to play with.
However, those toys ended up failing too often and eventually disappeared. Only humans, who were nothing more than trash, were left. He was beginning to get bored and annoyed, but now a human who was related to him had appeared, saying impertinently that hed open a path for the Crawling Chaos. How did he plan to do it? Could he do sothing they had put so much effort in but failed?
Emptiness.
The Crawling Chaos had a questioning face.
And the Black Kings power. Those two will be enough.
The Crawling Chaos frowned at Yeon-woos response. Explain properly. Do you think a riddle like that will work on ?
If I explain it to you, then what will we have to exchange after? You think I should allow myself to be betrayed by beings like you who see humans as bugs?
You could be trying to make fools out of!
Read . Cant you tell whether or not Im telling the truth?
The Crawling Chaos scowled. This was an infuriating human. He had been trying to analyze the human for a while, but the human mustve set up so ntal barrier, because he couldnt read him. However a part of the vestige still appeared through his consciousness, which was what Yeon-woo ant.
Truth. It was true. Yeon-woo knew a way for them to enter the Tower, sothing they never believed they could do. The story is different. The Crawling Chaos smoothed out his frown, looking at Yeon-woo with an expressionless face now. His words were emotionless to the point of being almost robotic. And your condition?
The Erald Tablet.
The Crawling Chaos was puzzled.
I want the original. Yeon-woos eyes flashed. If he had the Erald Tablet, many things would beco possible. The mortal Faust had taken over the demon phistopheles, Bayluk had restored ancient species, Vieira Dune had beco Mother Earth. Even Brahm had marveled at the new system of knowledge!
Yeon-woo already had a part of the Erald Tablet that hed taken when he invaded Walpurgisnacht. Thanks to it, a part of Boos mory had returned, but he only had a fragnt of sothing much greater. There were too many missing parts, and if he possessed the entire thing,he would grow exponentially.
He would be able to control the puzzling Stone of Sin and help Brahm and Boo to grow faster. Most importantly, hed have more possible ways to bring Jeong-woo back. He already had the clones Bayluk created and the vestige body in the pocket watch. Yeon-woos yearning for the Erald Tablet had grown desperate. And most of all, Ill learn how to approach the darkness of Black King.
He would know how to get to the darkness where his brothers soul was buried and find a way to deal with emptiness more easily.
The Erald Tablet wasnt an item he could give up. The Crawling Chaos had shared the tablet with Faust and Bayluk, which ant that he owned the original. It might even be a book of his own knowledge.
You want the original revelations?
Revelations? It seed that was what the otherworld gods called the Erald Tablet.
Correct. Yeon-woo nodded with expectant eyes.
However, he only received a cold response. Impossible.
Yeon-woos expression turned hard. Why?
The revelations arent mine.
What?
I dont have the authority to handle the Erald Tablet. It was an unexpected reply.
Yeon-woo stiffened. But you!
Are you talking about the things I gave to the microbes? Funny. Anyone can speak about small sections of the revelations.
Doesnt matter, give
Dont act up, human.
Was that how incredible the Erald Tablet was that even the Crawling Chaos didnt have any authority over it? If he didnt have the rights to it, he could find a way to acquire them. Yeon-woo was about to say that if he truly wanted to search for the Black King in the Tower, it shouldnt be a difficult feat. However, the Crawling Chaos didnt give him a chance to open his mouth again, anticipating what he would say.
Do you think its a simple item that I can just pull out of my pocket if you ask to? Do you think a re mortal can bear an item that contains all the knowledge of the universe and the dinsions, the words of the great beginning and the holy oracles of the end, and the records of all space, ti, and history? You must be crazy! How insolent, human! Madness wavered in the Crawling Chaos eyes. And I choose the terms of the contract. You have no right, microbe, just accept the results.
Chhhh.
The manifestation flickered out darkness. I shall take you as my Apostle. I do not wish to give this honor, which has not been bestowed to anyone for thousands of years, but your qualifications must sohow et the minimum if you can use a part of his strength.
Flicker.
As my representative, step forward and create a path for and my familiars. Once you do, I shall assess your contribution and give you powers of invincibility and immortality. When the day of revelation cos, I shall also give you a throne, however small.
The Crawling Chaos was saying he would give Yeon-woo all he could. The other beings of the inner world would be astonished, but Yeon-woo didnt lose his calmness even amid the boiling madness.
Then the contract is no more. He stared sharply at the madness. What I need is the Erald Tablet, what you call the revelations.
If you will not agree, I will have to force you.
Creak! Like a spinning wheel, the darkness covered Yeon-woo. The Crawling Chaos manifestation disappeared in the darkness and disappeared with a final laugh. You are quite impertinent, human. But this was amusing, so I shall allow you to keep your life.At that mont, the Crawling Chaos activated his powers.
External interference elimination
Yeon-woo felt the Sky Wings holding him up release. The 5,000 Channels, the Black Kings power, and even his Dragon Body awakening were being sealed away. This was an illusory world created by the beings thoughts, which ant that it was his territory. It was too easy to cut off all the Channels and disarm Yeon-woo.
However, Crawling Chaos didnt stop there and forced the skills and powers given by the Tower to stop, as well. His rules invalidated the system that created Yeon-woos abilities. But blocking the Demonic Divine Dragon Bodyis a bit too much. For the first ti after entering the Tower, he felt like hed returned to his body on Earth. His body sank like wet cotton, his explosive firepower all gone.bender
His body was more developed than it had been back then, but it was still extrely weak compared to his Demonic Divine Dragon Body. Yeon-woo felt like everything he accomplished in the Tower was nothing more than a sandcastle. If a strong being like the Crawling Chaos trapped him in his territory, he had no ans of resisting. He rembered what the Martial King said in passing after he completed Flawless Strike.
Dont beco tied down to what you have. Its not actually yours.
If its not mine, then whose is it?
Its what the Tower has given you!
Yeon-woo had been puzzled.
Is the thing on top of your shoulders empty? Think about it. Is any of this really yours, or has it been fixed by the system?
Oh.
What do you an oh? OK, lets put it this way. Skills, powers, and statsthese are all from the Tower, but what if theyre suddenly taken back?
Yeon-woo was startled.
That hasnt happened yet, but you never know what the future holds. Dont beco feeble overnight after such an incident occurs and prepare for it beforehand.
How?
Its obvious. The Martial King smiled mischievously. Change it. Not yourself, but the world!
Skills and powers were a system set by the Tower, which ant that Yeon-woo needed to create a system of his own.
Yeon-woo had never forgotten this lesson from the Martial King. Skills and powers ca from external forces, but strength that grew from the inside could never be taken away. Divinity was no exception to this. And what he created to materialize this internal energy wasMugong.
Mu described physical training, and gong was the ntal cultivation that led you to new heights from that training. The consciousness that rose from it made you skilled, and you progressed from master to expert to arhat, then went beyond them to reach an unimaginable peak. This consciousness would beco a platform that fixed you to the ground while allowing you to beco a unique cog in the wheel of the sky.
In the heavens and below, I am the most honored. The entire world is in agony, and I will bring it peace. You are the most special in the world, and only you can change the trembling world and be at peace! Etching your thoughts onto the world and altering it as you wished was a peak called the realm of transformation in the One-horned tribe. Moving the laws of the word according to your will is only the beginning of the arhat peak you are walking on.
Yeon-woo emitted his thoughts to the outside. In that instant, light shone down in the dark world and embraced him. His thoughts had materialized. Now that he had regained his wholeness from within it, Yeon-woo grabbed the air and twisted it, warping the Crawling Chaos power. His thoughts were nothing compared to the beings, but it was enough for him to escape.
Boom! Yeon-woo was flung back out to the world. His paused ti began to flow again. The cut Channels were quickly restored, and Sky Wings also returned.
[00:00:09_59]
[00:00:09_58]
The tir began to move again. He had less than ten seconds left. He needed to finish this within that ti.
Where. Are. You. Going.
Along the cracks of space, Crawling Chaos tentacles moved to grasp Yeon-woo.
Demonism.
What a bother. But its been fun to watch, so Ill help you in return. Keekeekeek!
lightsvl m Yeon-woo attempted to pull forward the Demonism resting in his unconscious and rge with it. He had five seconds left, and he planned on defeating the Crawling Chaos within that ti.
Yeon-woos consciousness was withdrawn into the Demonisms. But this ti, he didnt disappear completely. Now that he firmly controlled his mind this ti, he felt like he blended with it instead of being overwheld.
Ooh. Youve grown a bit. I can use more power than last ti. This is nice too. With the Demonisms snickering laughter, an extraordinary number of thoughts spun like a typhoon.
Whoosh!
