Chapter 1758 – 240. Courage Bordering on Brutality

“The source of all things that make up reality…The world?”

Jaehyung Lee asks again with a puzzled expression.

[If it were to be referred to more accurately, it would be more appropriate to call it the evil of the world.]

“Explain it so I can understand.”

Jaehyung Lee asks again with a frown

The evil of the world?

What kind of bullshit is that?

[The world originally has two sides. It creates all things and makes the dimension prosper, but it also destroys and collapses, and ultimately returns to nothingness. Of those two sides, I am the source of all things referred to as evil.]

‘So you mean you’re a fucking bad bastard? Isn’t this dangerous?’

Lee Jae-hyung frowns at those words.

It was because I felt uneasy that I might have been caught by a tiger while trying to avoid a bastard.

[There is no need to be so nervous. Although I am the source of all things referred to as evil, the essence is the world, your eternal ally.]

Did you look into it?

The evil of the world presents itself as an ally.

“Who is nervous? I am calm!”

Lee Jae-hyung, who has been caught in the crosshairs for no reason, raises his voice and pretends to be calm.

The fact that I was intimidated even for a moment made me feel quite embarrassed.

[If that’s you, then that’s probably it.]

To this, the evil of the world reacts differently.

“…Anyway, I understand that you are the source of everything in the world…Or, to be exact, everything that is referred to as evil.”

Jae-Hyung Lee continues his speech while struggling to regain his cool.

“But isn’t there some absurdity in saying that we are eternal allies?”

[Why do you think that?]

“The bastard who was said to be my eternal ally just stood by and watched me until I was half-baked, right? Fuck, how can he be an ally? He’s a stranger, a bastard!”

Jaehyung Lee lets out a shout filled with emotion.

Wasn’t it the national rule to intervene in an emergency and minimize damage, at least if it was an ally?

How can you claim to be an eternal ally to a subject who was just sitting by in the fucking abyss?

There was no such bullshit.

[What you said was wrong, warrior, I never neglected you.]

“What nonsense? “What did you do?”

[I twisted your death. Hero.]

“…You twisted death?”

[You were destined to meet an inevitable death in Reppenheim, by a black-haired stranger who had come to Laurencia.]

“…”

After hearing those words, Lee Jae-hyung feels a shiver run down his spine.

Although he was on the defensive, he never expected that he would be destined for death.

[But you didn’t die, because I intervened and twisted the causality law.]

“If you were going to intervene, why not just kill that bastard instead of just avoiding death? Then you wouldn’t have to suffer this much, right?”

I recognize that my life was saved by the world’s intervention, but I still don’t like it.

If you had killed him properly instead of just saving his life, he wouldn’t have been reduced to such an ugly face.

[It is impossible, since the man, a stranger, is completely outside the law of causality in Laurentia.]

Although he was a stranger, he was a different being from Lee Jae-hyung.

It is not bound by causality.

“Fuck, the bastard who is said to be the source of all things in reality is so fucking incompetent. It’s hard to see how he can’t do anything about a scum from another dimension just pretending as he pleases.”

The world is the source of all things that exist

Even the omniscient and omnipotent God is merely a vested being.

How can you be so incompetent on such a subject?

[Perhaps the expression incompetent is more accurate, since my abilities cannot reach him.]

“…Are you saying that that bug is stronger than you?”

Lee Jae-hyung asks back with a hard look on his face at that obedient acknowledgment.

[It is different from the concept of strength and weakness, as it literally means that the ability is not within reach. Isn’t it only possible to separate the upper and lower classes by being able to collide?]

“Explain it so I can understand!

“He is a self-existent person, not a person who exists dependent on the world, but a person who exists on his own. My power cannot reach him in the first place, so he cannot reach me, and that is why he cannot control the law of cause and effect. .]

“…It’s about self-esteem and shit, and the bottom line is that no matter what shit you do, you’re the one I can’t help with, right?”

[It’s impossible for me.]

‘Fuck you’

Lee Jae-hyung frowns at that immediate answer.

If you are a being that even the world can’t do anything about, doesn’t that mean you can’t even dream of revenge?

I couldn’t help but curse.

[But it’s different if you’re a warrior.]

“What?”

However, Lee Jae-hyung’s eyes widen at the twist that follows.

[In essence, a warrior is a savior with a mission of salvation and a guardian of the dimension by eradicating all things that threaten the world. If there is a threat to the dimension, even if it is a being outside of causality, it will be able to be reached.]

“So you’re telling me to deal with that bastard again?”

[Only you can do it.]

“You’re talking about giving a fuck, you bastard!”

At that moment, Jaehyung Lee couldn’t hold back and started swearing.

“Didn’t you see it once you don’t see it? Didn’t you have a lot of time to split it? “

Although it was only a one-time clash, I could clearly feel it.

The fact that there exists a gap that cannot be overcome

No matter how many times he was resurrected through the return of death, he was a hopeless enemy among enemies.

There was no way I could fight.

She was lucky that she survived this time, but she couldn’t guarantee that she would be lucky next time

[Do not be afraid, warrior, you will not be defeated.]

“Don’t be damned.”

Lee Jae-hyung’s distrust was at its peak,

It was a situation in which the world could not even intervene.

There is no way that the saying that we will not be defeated can be believable.

[You are the chosen warrior of salvation. There is no such thing as defeat, only glorious victory.]

“Then how are you going to explain what happened now?”

[It is just an ordeal, a stepping stone to further growth.]

“Stop talking bullshit! That bastard is a stepping stone! He’s a wailing wall!”

Jaehyung Lee immediately dismisses this as bullshit.

Even though he grew 8,192 times through regression after his death, he was not able to touch even a single hair of his head.

It would be more accurate to call it a wailing wall rather than a scaffold

[It seems that you have defined your own limitations, warrior. You are the chosen one. You are truly the only one who has infinite possibilities and can manifest the will of the world.]

Twitch

When Lee Jae-hyung heard those words, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This was because the expression of being a chosen one helped rebuild his shattered self-esteem a little.

[If you awaken the infinite possibilities that lie dormant within you, you will be able to obtain infinite power that can make even a self-existent person look down.]

‘…Infinite power to look down on that bastard..’

For a man full of thirst for power, these are truly tempting words

Soon, Lee Jae-hyung rolls his head with a worried expression.

“Okay, let’s give in and say I have that much potential. I guess that’s possible, because I’m the chosen hero.”

And then he breaks the silence and continues speaking.

“How on earth are you going to bloom that potential? I’ll tell you in advance, we don’t want you to die until it blossoms.”

Death never gets used to.

Even though he knows that he will return.

If I had to die out of ignorance for the sake of enlightenment, a much better option would be to hold my breath and live until that guy returns to his original world.

[Return by death is a transcendent power that can give you almost infinite power if you work hard, but it is not suitable as a means to enlighten you. Your spirit will completely collapse before enlightenment.]

“Then what should I do?”

[It is integration.]

“Integration?”

Express doubts about unfamiliar sounds.

What does that mean?

[As I said, you are a unique being who can manifest the will of the world, and it is not impossible to become one with the world.]

Being able to manifest the will of the world

It meant that the vessel could even accommodate the world.

It is not unreasonable for it to be integrated.

[If you unite and become the world itself, your inherent potential will bloom at once. Even that arrogant self-respect becomes a person with unique dignity who can look down upon him.]

“…A person with unique dignity.”

Lee Jae-hyung’s eyes become hazy at those grandiose words.

Just imagining it made my heart swell.

[What is it like? Warrior, will you join me?]

“…Can you really become stronger than that bastard?”

Jaehyung Lee asks again as if confirming.

Is he really capable of jumping over that monstrous bastard?

Will he never experience the same humiliation again?

[Of course]

“…Okay, then I’ll accept your offer.”

In the end, Jaehyung Lee accepts the offer after much deliberation.

Although he was suspicious in many ways because he was born suspicious, the symbolism of his unique dignity and his desire for revenge on the self-existent person who brought him an indelible humiliation moved his heart his.

[It will be a choice you will not regret.]

“I will decide whether or not you will regret it, so just remember this: if you do something foolish, the contract will be immediately canceled.”

[Let me remember.]

“Okay, then let’s get started right away. Is it integration or what?”

Lee Jae-hyung’s eyes begin to burn hotly.

The desire for revenge and improvement

Those two keywords became firewood and started to burn his motivation like crazy.

‘In the end, the one who wins is the main character, me, Lee Jae-hyung.’

It will make you realize it.

Who is the main character of this world

**************

-Seonwoo’s grace is like heaven! The more you look up to him, the higher he gets~

-Ahh, thank you~ Sunwoo’s love~ Ahhh, I will repay you~ Sunwoo’s grace~”

-Whether I sit or stand, I think of Seonwoo~ Whether I sit or stand~ I think of Seonwoo~

-I’m glad Sunwoo came~ Praise! Praise!

-Oh Seonwoo, I will thank you~ For giving me divine power~ Seonwoo is love! Line! Right! Buy! Lang!

All kinds of praise songs begin to fill the entire Free City, Reppenheim.

He began to express his faith in the one God who saved Reppenheim through song.

“Today is Seonwoo’s Day, when Seonwoo came to Reppenheim! Let us all thank and praise Seonwoo for his love and dedication! Everyone!!”

“Praise~ Praise~ Praise! Praise~ Praise~!”

“Our father in Reppenheim, today is a glorious day to welcome you. Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to be together!”

“Today is Seonwoo’s Day celebration! All alcohol and meat are free! Let’s all enjoy while thinking about Seonwoo’s grace!”

“Waaah!~ Sunwoo! Sunwoo! I’m Sunwoo!”

In addition, those who claim to be members of Seonwoo Church come forward and lead the praise.

It is a place of fanaticism that would not be excessive to call it a sacred city rather than a free city.

“…Huh…Is this Reppenheim?”

Liatris, seeing that scene, makes a dumbfounded expression.

The Free City of Reppenheim she knew was different from ordinary cities.

It guarantees numerous freedoms, including physical, residence and movement, speech and publishing, assembly and association, and academic and artistic freedom.

‘Religion will be no exception…’

The sight before my eyes looked closer to a sacred city than a free city.

How can you not be shocked?

“I think it’s a natural reaction.”

At that time, a soft voice penetrates my ear.

“Humans by nature cannot forget moments of miracles.”

The last dragon, Raceist, continued speaking in a calm tone.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Because miracles arouse awe and praise

“Furthermore, even the hero who was the symbol of salvation has fallen. It can be seen as a very natural phenomenon that their lost hearts are transferred to a replacement.”

“…It sounds like even the faith in the warrior has been transferred.”

“As expected, you understand quickly, Heimend.”

“Ria is enough, Lacist.”

“Yes, Lia, in any case, starting today, the faith in Silver Duke will spread rapidly not only throughout the empire but also throughout the continent. This is none other than Reppenheim, a key transportation hub for the empire.”

Transportation hub

In other words, it meant that numerous races and countries were gathered together.

The faith had no choice but to spread.

So many people have directly experienced miracles

“…The Goddess Church might rise up.”

Goddess Bridge

The most powerful religion on the continent and an extreme religion that treats all gods other than the goddess they believe in as demons or heretics

The birth of a new religion was likely to upset their hearts.

“Of course, they are so extreme that they will even commit terrorism against dragons if they blaspheme.”

“..Will it be okay? If it is even declared as a public achievement on the continent..”

“What are you worried about? He is with us.”

The raceist glances toward the window.

Seon-woo, a cool-looking man, was looking out the window, grinning.

Something friendly yet playful

When I see that, the corners of my mouth turn up involuntarily.

The moment I saw it, my anxiety disappeared and a sense of relief took over.

This is probably proof that infinite trust has been established in him.

That time when I was shaking off my own anxiety

Knock knock knock

Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.

“What’s going on?”

Liatrice asks in a puzzled tone.

“Seonwoo, a guest has come to visit.”

Then, the polite voice of a servant is heard from outside.

“I’m sure they must have made it clear that they would refuse to show gratitude or receive private service?”

Leah Tris frowned and removed his mouth her her her her.

“…Well…You are not worthy of that.”

“I am envoy to everyone, regardless of their status. I will also convey this to him…”

“Let me in.”

At that time, Seonwoo cuts off Liatrice’s waist.

“Yes?”

Liatrice looks at Sunwoo with her big eyes wide open.

Because I didn’t know the intention

“I felt quite a strong sense of hostility.”

Seon-woo looks beyond the door and opens his mouth.

I’m going to have a good time

Soon, the tightly closed door slowly begins to open.

And through the gap in the open door

An old man wearing a richly decorated white priest’s robe appears.

“You must be Jang Seon-woo.”

The old priest looks at Seonwoo sitting by the window and opens his mouth.

“Ah, yes.”

Seonwoo receives the comment as if it is no big deal.

“Thank you for not issuing an order to welcome guests.”

“Not much to say.”

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Azad.”

The man who introduced himself as Azad slowly approached Sunwoo and continued speaking.

“The epicenter of the goddess religion that worships the one god and the goddess of creation.”

Drop

And before long, it stops right in front of Seon-woo.

“Do you know? Calling yourself a god is blasphemy against the Goddess of Creation.”

Azad shoots him a look full of hostility.

Seon-woo chuckles at the courage that borders on brutality, and Raceist and Liatrice are astonished.
