Chapter 219: Big Brother (13)
Jaehwan’s body beca tense. It wasn’t only because of Mulack’s presence, but his words. 10 billion years? Had it really been that long?
‘How am I even alive?’
Mulack began to scan Jaehwan’s entire spirit with his eyes. It seed as if he was looking deep into entire cells that comprised the spirit. Mulack’s expression turned serious.
[Wait... what is this? Huh? Why are you still at the 5th step of Awakening? Still at the [Proof] step? You should have gotten to the 6th step [Edit] if you moved up the stream of the Fall of ti...]
“...”
[You are still a ‘being’ but you still got here? Hey, Jaehwan. What happened inside the Fall?!]
Jaehwan did not answer. Instead, he pulled out the sword quietly and spoke.
“You awake?”
The sword spoke up.
[Yeah. I’ve been awake for a while now.]
“What do you think of this?”
[What do I think of what? Just do what we always used to do. I felt as bored as hell listening to him saying all that crap.]
“Yeah. I guess we don’t need to listen anymore.”
[You bet we don’t.]
Jaehwan nodded. With the power of the [Fall] wielding the sword, [Parts] of the Three Ancient Gods began to take form in a bright light. Machina covered Jaehwan’s entire body and the Eye of Geshtalt increased Jaehwan’s world power as the Void Sword began to replicate itself in the air, trying to make an attack. But whatever Jaehwan did, Mulack didn’t seem to be that interested.
[How can this be... how can a lesser being like that manage to co here...]
Mulack seed to be in distress. Jaehwan thought this was the only chance. Without him knowing how strong Mulack was, attacking first seed like only chance to claim victory.
The wave of the [Fall] swept across Panopticon.
It didn’t unleash enough world power for Jaehwan to be satisfied with as he had been resting in the Fall of ti for too long, but it was still much powerful than the Three Ancient Gods in their pri. The Eye of Geshtalt began to spin, Machina increased Jaehwan’s defense, and the Void Sword exploded in blades.
And in the next mont...
Jaehwan felt the shock of being pounded throughout his entire body as he was thrown back. The entire space was pounding on him. Ti was going slow to fast, back and forth.
‘What is going on...!’
Beastlain began screaming. The sword was being destroyed. Wave of the [Fall] perished instantly, Machina was scrapped to pieces, the Eye of Geshtalt stopped spinning and lost its shine. The Void Sword cracked, evaporating into the air.
And then Mulack appeared through everything.
[It’s a sha. I guess I’ll have to wait for the next Big Brother then.]
As he looked at Mulack raising his hand, Jaehwan felt the feeling of facing a universe and that he was just dust. It was the first ti he felt death so close. In the terrifying fear, Jaehwan begged to an unknown soone.
‘Help . Please help. Give strength.’
But no voice ca back. The space of Panopticon was eating away his spirit.
‘It’s being erased.’ The ti he had fought, his determination, will, precious mories... they were all fading away.
There were no words to describe this death. Jaehwan beca afraid. But he still felt that he was ‘alive’. He feared his death, but death only existed when there was life. It had been a long fight, but in the end, Jaehwan finally faced his existence.
‘Yes, I will die. But I will die as a ‘being’. I would rather die than beco a Big Brother to...’
And at so point, it stopped. Jaehwan thought he finally had died. But he just thought if he had died. That wasn’t possible if he really did.
Mulack was right in front of Jaehwan with his eyes opened in shock.
[...What is that?]
Mulack was glaring at the world protecting Jaehwan. A mysterious power was protecting his body. It was his unique world. But it was actually Jaehwan who wanted to ask the sa question. He looked around and saw his unique world surrounding his entire body.
But how?
Even if he was at the [Proof] step, Mulack’s power just wiped out the [Parts] of the Three Ancient Gods. But how could his unique world... Jaehwan then stopped at one point of the unique world. There were countless scribbles written. It looked a lot like Jaehwan’s own writing, but it looked like soone else had written on it. It looked like a conversation, but it was actually a proof of extre loneliness.
