Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

168. Disaster (3)

#168. Disaster (3)

Cynthia: The power of the outside world fixes causality.

Attacks that originate from power cannot be avoided, and if you try to avoid an opponent’s attack, the target will not be able to hit you.

Neither ordinary transcendent beings nor those who have attained a higher level are free from this law.

Only foreign gods and their apostles who borrow the power of foreign gods can twist the established cause and effect.

But what does this mean?

How can a transcendent being, neither a foreign god nor his apostle, escape the influence of the foreign god’s power?

“You… are not ordinary. I didn’t know it would be this bad.”

Cynthia thought this fight would go one-sidedly in her favor.

Even if you are in the highest position in the pantheon, there is an unbridgeable gap between the existence of the gods and apostles.

But it wasn’t. This man was more sinister than I thought. He had sharp fangs hidden behind his soft speech.

From the first time we met, he had not revealed himself properly. Now, he was using his divine powers that transcended martial arts to fight against the power of the outside world.

“…What is the name of that power?”

“Wuyue (武越).”

“No moon… .”

Beyond martial arts. That’s what it sounded like.

He, a god, possessed divine powers that surpassed nothingness. What does this mean? Does it mean that he has surpassed his limits? He has already surpassed his limits once by reaching transcendence, and now he is going to surpass his limits again? Cynthia thought about it for a moment, then prepared to attack. Her side was tingling, but she could endure it.

‘It doesn’t matter if there’s a little damage to my identity.’

It manifests the power of speed and fantasy at the same time.

Even if one is destroyed, if the other is eaten, he can be taken down.

Although they were fellow comrades who had gathered for the cause of preventing the end of the world, they could not walk the same path as Han Seong-jin, who was about to sacrifice Han Seong-jin and kill Cheon Mu-bong.

“Are you not willing to change your mind?”

“okay.”

“Then… there is no room for negotiation.”

I don’t know if I can kill Berget or not.

He is an outlier. But that doesn’t really matter.

I kill because I have to kill.

If you can’t kill them, find a way.

We have finally regained our peace, and we cannot lose it because of one transcendent being.

‘Then let’s go——Huh?’

The moment she was about to move her body with her divine powers, Cynthia suddenly felt some energy flying towards her from the sky. The dark energy was only visible for a moment, but Cynthia could tell that it was aimed at Berget. However, since the two were in the same position, both Berget and Cynthia had to dodge the dark energy.

The two frowned and avoided the dark energy. However, despite dodging it, the dark energy turned and headed towards them.

To be exact, to Berget.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! With the sound of an explosion, the place where Berget was was covered in purple smoke. Then, as the smoke cleared, Berget, with a normal expression, trudged forward.

“Dark energy?”

“Is this how it ends up? Hmm—”

“… Are you the one chosen by disaster? Otherwise, there would be no reason for the dark side to be drawn to you.”

Cynthia tried to read the law of causality, but Berget was unable to read it because the divine power of the observer was overlapped due to the memorization.

“Tell me, Berget. What are you hiding?”

She saw Berget’s attitude and realized that he was hiding something important. His attitude was strangely calm. He was chosen as a disaster and became a being that would dye everything with death. A being like Cain, whom she had seen in Langrut.

But his face, far from being gloomy, looked rather welcoming.

“Not bad. I guess I’ll have to go with option 2, but this was also one of the routes I expected. It’s a shame that I can’t climb it on my own… but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“to?”

Berget continued to speak incomprehensibly, which only increased Cynthia’s curiosity. “It’s a simple story.”

After finishing his thoughts, Berget looked at Cynthia and smiled. He looked at her with a very relaxed expression and explained the current situation.

“I was waiting for this to happen.”

“Wait? What is that…?”

“In the prophecy, the one chosen as the disaster is ‘God of War.’ Since it is unlikely that a being from another dimension will be brought in, it would have to be chosen from the universe of #132. That is why all the candidates for God of War were killed.”

“…so that you would be chosen as a disaster?”

“To be exact, I thought it didn’t matter if I was chosen. I didn’t care if the disaster was weakened by being transformed into something other than a god. You could say it was a kind of premeditated intention….”

Only then did Cynthia realize what Berget had intended. She bit her lip and asked him.

“…Why are you telling me these facts?”

“Of course it’s okay to say that. And… thanks to you, I was able to successfully complete the mental stabilization process.”

“Calm down?”

“The will of the Watcher, which was inscribed in the secret, and the will originally engraved in my soul. Normally, I would be forced to become his apostle, but… I succeeded in pushing away his will and taking only his power. It’s all thanks to you, Cynthia. That’s why I’m answering you so kindly.”

Berget said, looking at Cynthia.

“Thanks to you accepting my words, it was much easier to keep my mind sane. Besides that, things went smoothly because you acted according to my intentions.”

“… … .”

Cynthia looked at Bergette with a dumbfounded expression.

“Unfortunately… I guess I’ll have to postpone my fight with you once more. I have to deal with the dark energy overflowing in my body.”

Passus——— Berget disappeared into dust as if fragments were crumbling. It was a strange divine technique that was incomprehensible, like the power of an outsider.

‘… It’s X.’

Cynthia realized that things were going strangely. She felt she needed to get help.

***

A black aura enveloped the entire Earth.

As the end times approach, disaster strikes and the Earth becomes beyond the reach of outside intervention.

Transcendent beings of the Pantheon, or transcendent beings of other unions, even if they are foreign gods, are now unable to enter Earth without permission.

“This place would be nice… .”

Currently, Berget’s skin and pupils were completely discolored by the dark energy. It would be more accurate to say that he was stained by the dark energy.

The will of the subject was driven out, but the foreign energy remaining in the secret was eagerly waiting to devour his mind and body.

If he makes a mistake here, he will be forced to become an apostle of the foreign gods and will lose the opportunity to reach the realm of the foreign gods for the rest of his life.

‘If you go through this… you can fully obtain the power of the foreign press much faster than if you had proceeded the first way.’

The first method was to encounter the disaster, deal with it, and absorb its power. Since I couldn’t absorb the entire power of the disaster, I weakened it, absorbed it, and used it to compete with Cynthia, who became an apostle, and embody her power. This was Plan 1. The method currently in progress is Plan 2.

Knock knock knock knock——

Berget endured the maddening pain of the dark machine.

Skin evaporated, muscles melted, and new bones grew. These wounds were the kind that struck the soul, so even without nerves, they were painful.

His body was constantly being injured and regenerated, causing Berget to feel constant pain. At the same time, the dark energy was pounding on his brain and soul. It was pounding like crazy, trying to invade his mental realm.

The great warrior Berget.

His origin is Dimension Universe #0.

He was born in Universe 0, the origin of all universes. He was born and raised on the first planet where an environment was created where intelligent beings could live.

When he lived on his own planet, there was no concept of martial arts. No, there was no such concept in the entire universe.

It was a fight.

They fought, killed and struggled for survival.

One day, as the struggle for survival continued, Berget elevated his fighting to a formality.

As the struggle took form

It became a martial art.

It became martial arts, it became martial arts.

It was the origin of martial arts.

He is the founder of the concept of nothingness, and the first transcendent being to reach the state of transcendence through nothingness.

This is the first Musin Berget.

Now, he was trying to overcome the limits of nothingness by borrowing information from foreign media.
