Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

170. Han Seong-jin (2)

#170. Han Seong-jin (2)

Han Seong-jin did not become a transcendent being.

The ‘authority’ of the transcendents was only temporarily granted.

This is against the laws of the universe.

It was something that went against the order.

However, the being who allowed it was a guardian of law, who decided to risk upsetting the smaller balance in order to preserve the greater order.

It was a sacrifice of cattle for the sake of the generation.

With the permission of the foreign media, Han Sung-jin obtained the powers that a transcendent being can have and was able to access the Akashic Records.

‘This is the Akashic Record… The amount of information is enormous.’

Han Sung-jin gained the minimum mental and physical ability to withstand the pressure of the Akashic Records in addition to his authority.

He roamed freely through the world of the Akashic Records and accessed information.

‘Wow… There’s so much information here that I could spend my entire life reading it all.’

The Akashic Records information was being accumulated in real time even at this very moment. It seemed that even if I lived here forever, not just my entire life, and looked at the information, it would never end.

[ Transcendence ] [ Pantheon ] [ Divine Power ] [ Authority ]

[ God of War ] [ God of War ] [ Cynthia ] [ Berget ]

[ End ] [ Watcher ] [ Foreign News ] [ Ceremony of Disaster ]

[ Twisted Fate ] [ Dimension ]

‘I’m glad I was given such high authority. I’m lucky. I even have the authority to access information from foreign media.’

Han Seong-jin, who was granted authority by the Guardian, was able to look into information that even the highest-ranking transcendent beings could not freely access. It was information related to ‘foreign news.’

Unless you have ‘apostolic’ level authority like Cynthia, it was originally not easy to access information related to foreign news.

He read information about the outside world itself, the Watchers, the End, and the rituals of the catastrophe, and through this he was able to gain much knowledge.

And through the ‘Book of Berget’ and the ‘Book of Musin’, where Berget’s history is written, I was able to guess to some extent what he was pursuing.

‘Berget… is trying to become a foreign god.’

As Cynthia said, Berget was trying to go beyond the wall and reach the level of an Outer God, a being far above the higher-level Transcendent Ones.

‘And… Heron wants to use me as a material for consciousness to free this universe from its end… .’

Heron and Berget.

Their original purpose would have been the same.

By preventing the end of Earth, we can prevent the end of the universe.

But when Berget becomes a disaster, his purpose changes. Now that he has become a disaster, the ‘end’ will come regardless of his will, unless he dies.

Even if he does not fall, new disasters will appear, and as long as he does not die, disasters will continue to occur.

And that will ultimately lead the Earth and the universe to the ‘end’.

Berget would have known this too, and the fact that he accepted the power of disaster despite knowing it could be seen as him not caring whether the Earth was fucked or not.

The only thing he cares about is getting noticed by foreign media.

‘I guess there’s a lot to think about.’

Although the situation was urgent, it seemed that I would have to stay in the Akashic Records for the time being and access the information.

***

‘… Phew, I thought I got caught!’

Heron, the goddess of dawn and radiance, escaped from the Shinga mansion and returned to the lair where the ritual preparations were underway. She barely managed to escape before Cynthia arrived. If she had been even a little later, her power of stealth and all would have been discovered by her.

“Then what will happen to consciousness?”

The most important ritual offering, Han Seong-jin, was missing.

Most of the other things were ready, and would be ready soon, but without the main ingredient, Han Sungjin, the ritual was meaningless. Without it, the disaster could not be driven away, nor the end could be driven away.

“Should I leave this part to Berget…?”

Heron, who still did not realize that Berget had become a disaster, thought that he would somehow arrange for Han Seong-jin to come and bring him to the altar.

“Hmm… … .”

After thinking about it for a while, Heron formed a bed with his divine power and lay down on it.

“Okay, I’ll figure it out somehow.”

While I was resting like that, someone came to my hiding place.

A transcendent being holding a bow and having an ominous expression.

It was Cynthia.

“uh…?”

***

While Han Sung-jin was reading the Akashic Records, Cynthia was thinking about the ‘mission’ given by the Guardian.

【Permission】【Grant】【Possible】

【 This time 】【 Only 】

The Guardian spoke to Cynthia, imparting a glimpse of her destiny.

[ I, Cynthia, will be granted the fate of guardianship. ]

The fragment became destiny itself with Cynthia’s declaration.

The mission she received was ‘The Fate of Guardians’.

Simply put, it’s about protecting the Earth from the observers.

The Guardian created the destiny himself and gave it to Cynthia, and Cynthia had to draw the destiny that the Guardian wanted.

It is Cynthia’s job to record the fate recorded by the Guardian without going astray, not the fate recorded from the beginning.

From Cynthia’s perspective, who had to protect the Earth in the first place, it wasn’t a bad mission.

As the Guardian’s agent, she will not die even if the end of the Earth comes and the universe is destroyed, but if she fails to keep this destiny, she will be tormented by the Guardian for eternity.

That’s what it meant to borrow causality from foreign media.

“It’s a bit concerning that I might suffer for eternity… but I guess it’ll work out somehow!”

Cynthia firmly believed that Han Sung-jin would solve the current difficult problem. Since she couldn’t imagine a world without him anyway, Su-ho’s fate was something she had to risk her life for a hundred, a thousand times over.

“Suho’s fate is set for this… Huh? What’s going on all of a sudden?”

Cynthia felt the Guardian’s divine power connect in her head. It seemed that something had changed as she accepted the Guardian’s fate.

She concentrated her mind to determine the identity of the divine power connected to her head.

There were countless connected divine powers, but because of the barrier of the watcher, the divine powers connected to the outside of the Earth could not be identified. It would not have been impossible to force a break through, but Shin Shin-ah, who did not want to waste divine power, searched for the owner of the divine power connected to the inside of the Earth.

‘… This divine power, Heron? Did Heron make a contract with the Guardian?’

After verification, it was revealed that the owner of the divine power connected to the Guardian was Heron. I don’t know why she is connected to the Guardian, but…

‘What were you trying to do? Hmm. Let’s take a look.’

The powers of the Apostle Cynthia are quite high. One of those powers is the ability to read the ‘thoughts’ of the contracted guardian without any compensation.

-The offering ceremony was a success… but then there’s the problem. We have to drive away the disaster… haa. I don’t know how that damn Berget will do it.

In this way, Cynthia was able to learn that Heron had summoned the guardian through a ritual of offering and was planning to defeat the disaster.

‘… Heron is offering a ritual offering to the Guardian? Of course, it is impossible to drive out the Guardian without borrowing the power of an outsider.’

Cynthia thought that Heron was trying hard to drive out the apocalypse in his own way. He didn’t need to call upon the power of the Guardian through a ritual of offering because he was confident, but what could he do if he had already called upon it?

anyway….

In this way, Cynthia’s favorability towards Heron increased by (+)1. At one time, she had seriously considered destroying him because she had the disgusting thought of sacrificing Han Seong-jin, but now she has changed her mind and seems to be trying hard to save the Earth.

but…

It was Cynthia’s mistake.

-I have to get conscious soon.

‘Start the ritual? What ritual are you starting?’

Cynthia continued to read Heron’s thoughts, concentrating.

-I wish Berget could bring Han Sungjin quickly. It’s a bit difficult because Cynthia is blocking it. I don’t understand why he became so strong when he was mortal and is getting in the way.

‘… … .’

Cynthia’s facial expression hardened slightly as she listened to Heron’s continued words. She searched through the subspace to find where her bow was, and then simply created a strong bow with her divine power.

And then he searched for Heron’s location.

Heron’s location was quickly discovered as he had used the ‘authority’ of the Guardian’s Apostle to search for the Guardian’s contractor.

‘There you are. I didn’t know you were still thinking of sacrificing your brother. Yeah. I guess I’ll just kill half of them and then we can talk again.’

Cynthia teleported to where Heron was, holding a nice wooden bow.

For those who don’t understand, a whip is the best medicine.
