Chapter 475: Star, Identity Establishment (13)

The one who put the on youno, us is Machina? Chang-Sun stuttered.

You really didnt know, huh.

Its not ?

Yes, he was the one who appointed me as the lighthouse keeper, but remember whos responsible for maintaining the balance of Eros and Nyx and order in the Great Universe, Perkwunos reminded Chang-Sun.

In the end, is the one we have to defeat, Perkwunos said, suppressing his anger with great difficulty.

Chang-Sun could not forget how Perkwunos had acted as he mentioned . Perkwunos had certainly admitted his failure to fulfill his duty as the lighthouse keeper, but his anger toward was a different issue. had put Perkwunos through the endless suffering of .

Im going to go crazy. Chang-Sun sighed, covering his face with his hands. He had not felt this abysmal even during the Rollback loop, but the atmosphere was truly suffocating right now.

What should I think of everything I know about ? Was he deceiving me, or is there something Im still not aware of?

The wish of to save Cha Ye-Eun was genuine. Of course, Chang-Sun could be wrong, but he believedno, wished to believe so. Otherwise, all his beliefs in everything would be forced to crumble.

Phew! Chang-Sun exhaled for a long time to regain his composure. No matter how much he agonized here, he would get no answers, because his Channeling to was disconnected at the moment.

Still There is a way to find out the truth. Chang-Sun recalled Perkwunos last remark.

From what I know, has been away for a long time, just like who lies in deep slumber, so the son of is filling in for his father, Perkwunos explained.

Who did I meet then?

It was probably his son.

Chang-Suns eyes widened.

Ive seen him through your eyes, and he was a different person. Theres no way I wouldnt be able to tell the difference.

Mephistopheles had already told Chang-Sun that was away right now, but it turned out that was also not present. After hearing about how he could have met the son of , an idea came to Chang-Suns mind for some reason.

I still havent found out who started the Rollback loop.

Even did not know who the culprit behind the Rollback loop was, so there was a high chance that it was either or . Which one was the culprit?

Judging from Mephistopheles reaction, I think its ... I have to meet him, by any means necessary.

Whoever the culprit was, ending was Chang-Suns priority right now. If that was impossible, he had to make sure that he could delay it, and in order to do so

Squeak!

With his [Gnostic Eye] blazing, Chang-Sun stood up from his chair and looked out the window, where he had a full view of Seoul. Above the city, he could see a clear blue sky.New n0vel chapters are published on

Have you made a decision?

When he heard Perkwunos voice, Chang-Sun nodded calmly.

Then lets get started without further delay.

Rummmble!

Darkness suddenly covered the sky, and an enormous lightning bolt struck down in Chang-Suns direction. The bolt was much hotter and more intense than the blazefall from before.

[A Rdus bolt has been fired.]

Perkwunos called his primordial lightning essence Rdus. A lightning bolt made from the power he had obtained from the was flying toward Chang-Sun.

The moment Chang-Sun thrust [Gungnir], the pool of light from the white lightning pillar swallowed the world.

* * *

Pzzz!

As he observed the Rdus pillar particles scattering from high in the sky with his arms crossed, Perkwunos exclaimed, ...He succeeded in soul unity earlier than I thought. Everyone except me, Odin, and Tomte decided to help him. Thats not bad, considering its his first try.

Mastering Rdus needed every drop of ones potential, so Chang-Sun needed to make all the past reincarnations potential and accomplishments his own to be qualified to even learn the power.

However, Chang-Sun had managed to learn the power on his first try. The past reincarnations had to have changed their minds after witnessing Chang-Suns overwhelming combat prowess and fighting spirit in the past trials, getting started on the right foot.

Thanks to them, he managed to block the second one too Considering many of his predecessors failed to block the first one Instead of saying his compliments about Chang-Sun aloud, Perkwunos only chuckled, muttering to himself, ...hes definitely worth putting my hopes in.

Perkwunos eyes shone with lightning energy as he continued, Lets keep on testing.

The part that Chang-Sun liked about his subconscious realm was that, as long as he maintained his ego, he could freely resurrect in it. After crossing his subconscious ocean, Chang-Suns resolve was undoubtedly firm. In addition to that, his discovery of the whole truth about the gave him a goal that he could never give up on, so

Rummmmble!

[You have dodged three Rdus attacks!]

Boom, boom, boom!

[You have dodged five Rdus attacks!]

Boom, boom, rumble!

[You have successfully counterattacked eight times!]

.

Chang-Sun quickly analyzed Rdus as he continued his challenge. After understanding the mechanism, he systematized and modified it to suit him better, so he could begin to use the power little by little. His goal was very simple, which was to turn his into Rdus.

is my Signature, so the best choice is to turn it into Rdus, rather than learning the power from scratch. I can use it to make stronger and more destructive. Chang-Sun believed in the potential of .

was the energy made by mixing supreme sacred light and , so it was even more primordial than the . Perhaps that meant he would be able to surpass the limit that even Perkwunos could not overcome. Besides

...there is a way to make stronger right now, Chang-Sun thought.

Perkwunos had said that he received his for coveting the , the forbidden truth. The Eden serpent depicted in the metal gates fable was Perkwunos, and the [Forbidden Fruit] that the serpent pursued was the . It did not matter if the fable was a symbolic image or a realistic one, because it meant that the [Forbidden Fruit] was the . And Chang-Sun was very familiar with the [Forbidden Fruit].

Open the window, Chang-Sun said.

[Listing the categories in the Store window!]

[Over 100,000,000 Hounds items.]

Heavenly Sword (130,000,000 Hounds)

Lightning Deity Seal (290,000,000 Hounds)

Chang-Sun had disregarded this entire category of items for their preposterous price, but the item he was looking for right now was at the very end of the list.

Forbidden Fruit (100,000,000,000,000 Hounds)

Got it, Chang-Sun thought.
