Chapter 641 – 641. Resting at the Source
I realized that this was my world of imagination, a sanctuary of greed.
Now all I have to do is take the two apostles serving in my sanctuary and go hunt down the newly created source.
‘Sanctuary of greed. A new source born in an eager hole.’
Just like mistletoe clings to a tree, the origin of the snake has survived like a cancer cell within greed.
However, erasing this like treating cancer is the worst handshake.
‘Getting the source is like getting a cheat key.’
If there is a source, it is good to create heavenly punishment. Also, if there is a source, you will obtain properties that match that source.
Just as there is an added effect that increases luck thanks to the source of my greed and an effect that improves farming no matter what I do.
It is absolutely beneficial to obtain the source of the snake.
‘So, the origin of the snake must build a nest and settle down here.’
Greed is a very high-ranking attribute. Because you can cover everything. Even the disaster gods reserved the seat of power for a special person.
‘That was the reason why I gave it to greed rather than gluttony or gluttony.’
Originally, I was almost given the power of gluttony, saying I would become stronger by picking up everything. However, since gluttony is an attribute of greed, it received a more comprehensive greed.
‘Therefore, the source of greed is exploited as much as possible.’
By actively utilizing the source of greed, which allows one to devour and possess anything, they are putting the source of the snake into greed.
If this is successful, the next time another source is obtained, it will be easier to put it into greed like this time.
“Let’s go.”
I opened the door to the lounge.
From now on, I am going to meet the snake that has settled inside me.
******
The inside of the eager hole was quite large.
Although it is not divided into separate areas, it should be said that it is as large as the Hell, which initially had four areas.
“So, grid. How much further do we have to go?”
“Roughly.. I think I’ll have to walk for about 3 more hours.”
“I see.”
Hole sweeper grid and ambience.
Jet-black beings wearing yellow protective clothing who called me ‘boss’. They are black figures with no facial features and only white mouths.
The two guys were responsible for grinding and killing the remaining residue and by-products that were not completely ground. He was managing my sanctuary on my behalf.
‘I guess you could say they are my apostles.’
Although their actual combat power is barely at the level of transcendence, they have the characteristic of not being able to die.
‘It won’t die until I, the owner, die.’
Currently, there is a downside to not being able to summon these two guys to reality, but if things go as planned, one of these two will be able to be summoned.
Also, when the protective clothing the two guys were wearing and the equipment they were carrying were destroyed, they seemed to be naturally restored in the break room.
‘Lounge… ‘
Where there was a TV, a cabinet, and a cot. Strangely enough, they were living in a place that had the atmosphere of a container lounge at a labor site and was full of the smell of labor.
Perhaps, since it is an imaginary world, it is probably a place created by taking some of what was in my memory. These two guys should also be seen as guys I created.
‘The equipment is..’
An extra-large grinder that can grind anything, a heavy scraper and shovel, and a garbage collection bag that can fit indefinitely.
I think this is also an extension borrowed from the hard work that I briefly engaged in when I was in my 20s.
‘It’s an amazing space.’
I had a strong feeling that everything I saw was taken from the things I saw while walking around.
Even the space inside this hole seemed to have been designed from the abyss and the black market, and the various objects scattered on the floor also retained the shapes of the items seen on the journey.
It is a space where there is nothing original. Like a hole of greed, it was filled with things I had or had taken away.
‘Imitation to the extreme.’
To imitate. Or to plunder and take.
That must be my origin. There is no such thing as the power to create something. All they do is rob something that has already been created and arrange it.
‘If you use this well… ‘
Could it be that I can handle some new power?
It’s a near-perfect imitation. In a way, the descendants that are created in the hole are nothing more than an arrangement that imitates the ones that were put in.
‘Above all, if you use the skill called Hole’s Desire..’
It is a skill that can be used to brainwash and deal with those caught by the hand extending from the hole. If you are grabbed by the hand and dragged into a hole, you will be registered in the hole and have to be my summoned animal for the rest of your life.
‘When I think about it, I haven’t used the skill even once since I got it.’
The emphasis was on killing or destroying. They didn’t use the hole’s desire to force him to live in the hole forever.
‘If I used the desire of the hole to subjugate and register people from reality into the hole… Would other people come into my world of imagination?’
I got curious. This was worth experimenting with later when I got out there. Okay, let’s experiment with Eshgar and Noos. Throw them in a hole and allow them to be called out at any time.
I think the Serpent King Monsieur Houch would also be good.
Maybe we can put them here and create a new kind of paradise. Or become hell, suffering forever.
Since it means that I can trap my enemies in my imaginary world, I wonder if hell will be created.
Anyway, according to my judgment, there should be only me, Grid, Ambition, and an unidentified snake in this space.
But what are those?
“I have a question.”
“Yes. “Ask me anything.”
“What is this energy I’ve been feeling since a while ago?”
“Yes?”
“Can’t you feel something?”
“Uh…Just a moment.”
Ambition took out a motion detector and detected the surroundings.
“Huh?”
“Why, what is it?”
Grid goes to the side of Ambition and checks the screen of the motion detector.
“What on earth is this?”
On the screen of the mechanical device the two were looking at, countless red dots were activated and blinking.
Something surrounds us. Little things. Something quite different from the large snake we were chasing.
“Keeeee!!!”
Soon they appeared.
“Um, what about those!?”
Grid and Ambition take out tools as if embarrassed.
The things running towards us were like small caterpillars.
‘No. Is it a snake?’
Source has erosion begun.
For some reason, I was able to know this information as soon as I saw those caterpillar-like snakes.
‘Source erosion.’
A phenomenon that inevitably occurs when two or more sources are contained in one body.
When source erosion occurs, one of the two sources is half-crushed and eaten by the other source.
‘We have to stop it.’
It shouldn’t be like that.
According to the information provided by Adam’s wisdom, if such root erosion occurs, both roots may be lost, and the lower-ranked source may engulf the higher-ranked source and become weaker.
The rank itself has a higher source of greed. But what is causing trouble inside is the origin of the snake.
‘Just because your rank is high does not mean you can have an unconditional advantage.’
I have read information that the source of the biological system moves more actively than the source of the conceptual system, taking the lead in source erosion.
We need to quickly calm down the snake cub and settle it here. Rather than destroying this place and allowing it to be swallowed up, I must make this a nest and settle down so that I can fully control both sources.
“It clears a path. Run!”
“Yes!!!”
After giving an order to Grid and Ambition, who were fighting off the attacking snakes, he swung flames in both hands and fired them at the snakes.
It was just a normal magic, so it was weaker and lukewarm than the flames used with the Yin Yang Three Skills, but since I couldn’t use the skill now, I had to do something like this.
-Shhh…
After burning and killing the attacking snakes, I was able to reach near the source of the snakes.
A snake’s distinctive whistling sound is heard.
Eyes felt from all directions.
The effect of snakes.
‘Intimidating.’
Intimidating effect on the weak or prey.
As a result, Grid and Ambition began to pant, having breathing difficulty.
“On the subject of the snake bastard.”
Of course, this kind of encouragement had no effect on me. Do you think you can overpower me?
“Reveal yourself.”
I draped the shovel given to me by Grid over my shoulder and called out to the snake.
“Shhh…”
Soon, a large black snake appeared from one of the holes in the wall, making it impossible to guess how many meters it was.
‘Black death… ‘
Perhaps the snake with which I have the deepest connection.
From the black silk inner altar that first gave me tremendous strength to the black sand accessories that Aila made.
Among the many shapes that symbolize me, the creature that suits me best is definitely the black snake.
That’s another me. If the source of greed was the world of my imagination itself, then that snake is the living creature that is closest to the source of my existence.
“There is no reason to fight. I’ll help you get settled here. Through our conversation-!?”
Kwaang!!!!
The black snake swung its tail and flew me away.
The guy didn’t seem to have any intention of talking. I never thought they would just attack first. It’s a difficult source to deal with…
“Ugh!!!”
“Yes, the boss!!!!”
Maybe it’s because the skill is sealed, but it’s stuffy.
A single blow would have been enough to blow it up. It’s frustrating because I can’t use any of the skills.
“Grid! Ambition!! You deal with what comes!”
“Uh oh..! Yep!”
“I understand!”
Let’s leave the minions summoned by the source of snakes to those two.
“Whew. “An animal that doesn’t listen has no choice but to strike.”
I was planning on having them build a nest if we could communicate. It’s a change of plan. Conversation doesn’t work. There is no choice but to kill.
“Whoa…”
I grabbed the shovel and let my magical energy boil.
No matter how bad you are at using your skills, your name is semi-immortal.
I tried to ignorantly talk to a big snake and got hit. That doesn’t happen anymore.
Because that snake bastard won’t even be able to see me. It’s a black accident and I’ll kill you.
“Shhh.!?”
As expected, you can’t even follow my movements.
If you decide to go at top speed, even the transcendental person will often miss your movements.
It’s just not the speed that a snake cub can keep up with.
No matter how fundamental it is, the physical ability it possesses is nothing more than a large black snake.
“Kkieek!!!!”
I stabbed the guy in the eye with a shovel. It doesn’t stop here.
‘I’ll take your breath away.’
You must not kill the source. Then the source will disappear.
But what if you could kill the source and create a new source with the by-products obtained?
This is just the shape of the source. The nucleus is separate.
“Die!!!!”
I hit all the magical energy I had with the shovel I threw into the black snake’s eyes.
Soon, the black snake’s head explodes with magic power that is enough to explode a shovel.
Patter..
The blood and flesh of the black snake falling.
“I found it.”
I picked up the blown-out head and pulled out a jet-black bead.
[Origin of snakes]
There was no detailed item description.
It has only the name of the source of snakes.
Literally, this is the origin of the snake obtained by eating the inner shell of the rainbow snake.
Perhaps something picked up the source and ate it, or the source itself took on the shape of a snake and committed source erosion.
If I stayed still, I would have been eaten by the source of greed and disappeared. In order to survive in its own way, the origin of the snake may have attempted to erode the source by borrowing the shape of a black snake.
Yes, this guy probably just wanted to live. This is a world where even gods kill and kill each other to survive.
There is no difference just because it is the origin.
“Ambition. Grid.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Whoa… “Did you call me?”
The two apostles who were struggling against the snakes were called.
“Do rocks, paper, scissors. “The one who wins eats this source.”
In fact, this was the best way to place the snake at the root of greed.
It is not about taming a snake, but feeding the source of the snake to one of the apostles belonging to the source of greed.
“The one who wins becomes the source of a new snake.”
If you do this, you will be able to settle the source of the snake in the rest area.
It means that the origin of the snake will become mine completely without being mixed up or destroyed by greed.
It was the best answer.
