Chapter 438: Star, Rollback (3)
Chang-Sun desperately hoped his gamble would work, because he had already tried to resolve the situation dozens of times and it was tormenting him. He had been forced to always stay on edge because the Outer Celestial could show up anytime, unable to take a break at least once.
Some of the attempts had ended in a couple of days, but there were others that took several years Chang-Sun had been forced to suffer for over fifty years in total.
Above all, the anxiety of how the Rollback loop could end any time was also eating away at Chang-Sun. If he had infinite chances with the Rollback loop, he could work on the situation step by step and be more composed in searching for a way to go up against the Outer Celestial. However, the messages about how the law of causality had been damaged, the was on alert, and could intervene made Chang-Sun realize that there was a limit to his ability to use the Rollback loop to his advantage.
Chang-Sun was walking on a tightrope, so even if he tried very hard to remain composed, the anxiety continued to exhaust his mind. However, he and the Outer Celestial were the only ones who were trapped in this time loop, so he could never talk about how he actually felt. After all, there was no way he could tell the Outer Celestial, even if they were in the same boat as him. Besides, no one would be able to understand Chang-Sun, so he hoped that the Outer Celestial would leave after satiating their desire to some level. If the Outer Celestial wanted something else, Chang-Sun was willing to give anything he could, but
Too. Cumbersome.
If you feel its cumbersome, then go back! Chang-Sun yelled.
But. This. Is. Contract.
Chang-Sun frowned slightly, feeling a premonition. Just as expected
So. Can. Not. Leave.
What in the world is that contract? Chang-Sun asked.
Can. Not. Tell.
Chang-Sun gripped [Gungnir] more tightly in anger.
Cumbersome. But. I. Optimistic. Consider. It. Entertainment.
That meant the Outer Celestial felt encumbered by the Rollback loop, but had decided to view it positively and consider the loop a form of entertainment. Perhaps because their long life was filled with lethargy, the Rollback loop was just entertainment to the Outer Celestial.
Chang-Sun gnashed his teeth before saying, Alright. Lets do this. Ill make sure youll scream.
Then. More. Spicy. More. Interesting.
The Outer Celestials laughter seemingly shook the entire world, and
[You have died!]
[Rollbacking Worldline #802.]
the fight resumed.
* * *
[ has confirmed that Worldline #802 was damaged 62 times. He scratches the back of his head in annoyance while searching for a justification to intervene!]
[The tiptoes around the Supreme Administrator.]
[The is preparing to take action under the Supreme Administrators instruction!]
was starting to get pissed off, so the , which assisted him, was on alert.
I cant do this on my own, Chang-Sun thought, standing on a devastated battlefield. I need allies.
That meant he needed people who could work and fight alongside him. Of course, Chang-Sun was with a lot of his people right now. He had subordinates such as Jin Prezia and Sinmara, and he could find Crom Cruach and Xerxes if he went to the Arcadian Imperial Palace. He had gone through half of his attempts together with them, so it was true that they had helped him a lot.
It was the same with his 63rd try. With his friends and subordinates, Chang-Sun had started a war, but in contrast to his first try, he had directly attacked the Star Palace in an attempt to cause the Outer Celestial and the alliance to destroy each other. Of course, it did not work out very well.
Well, I guess that its still good news that my understanding of the Secret Darkness Techniques advanced, Chang-Sun thought.
If there was one thing Chang-Sun had gained from this Rollback loop, it was that he had mastered Anathema and arrived at the final threshold of becoming an Outer Celestial.
I might become an Outer Celestial myself before I can take down that Outer Celestial
The problem was that Chang-Sun could not pass the threshold right now. [Prelatis Spellbook], which contained the Secret Darkness techniques, had been given to him by Mephistopheles. While the first volume was about controlling , Chang-Sun had learned to be one with from the middle volume. Now only the last volume was left, and it was supposed to be the guide for Chang-Sun to become an Outer Celestial and enter Nyx However, Mephistopheles, who should have handed Chang-Sun the last volume, was missing right now.
On top of that, Sean had already noticed that Chang-Sun was another him from a different Worldline.
Im not here to fight you, Chang-Sun said, holding up his hands.
Then? Are you here to find Crom and Xerxes?
Thats one reason.
You have other reasons? Sean asked with a raised brow, annoyed that Chang-Sun did not seem to value his friends very much.
Yes, theres another reason. Three of us need to have an important conversation.
Three? Sean frowned, doubting Chang-Sun. He wondered who else could possibly be here right now.
Chang-Sun looked up, calling out, How long are you going to peep like a rat, Marduk?
Seans eyes slightly widened when Chang-Sun mentioned the Ruling Celestials true name. However, he had to quickly step backward after sensing a powerful Divine Class from behind him.
[The Celestial Taurus has revealed his avatar!]
Paaah!
In a pool of brilliant golden light, a golden bull appeared up and spoke in his Divine Voice.
How did you know I was here? You cant have sensed anything.
The Arcadian Imperial Palace was made from a part of Bel-Marduks body, so he could mobilize his avatar without leaving a trace or being sensed. That was why Bel-Marduk was very curious about how Chang-Sun had found him.
Bel-Marduk, Chang-Sun said.
What? Do you want to go for a round here? I think a lot of humans will be slaughtered. Is that alright?
Stop your silly talk and take off your shell now, Chang-Sun snapped, gesturing at Bel-Marduk.
Hmm? What are you talk?!
Youre me. Arent you?
!
The golden bulls eyes widened in shock, and it was the same for Sean, who had been watching the encounter beside them.
What are you talking?! Sean shouted at Chang-Sun.
How did you know about that?
Sean stopped yelling and quickly turned to look at Bel-Marduk, his widened eyes filled with disbelief. Regardless, Bel-Marduk the Taurus continued to glare at Chang-Sun without even glancing at Sean.
I knew about it beforehand, Chang-Sun answered.
What kind of nonsense is that? So how did you find out?!
Will you be able to understand if I say Ive gone through this already? Chang-Sun answered.
What?
The golden bull frowned, not understanding Chang-Sun at all. After a moment, however, it belatedly came to a realization and quietly asked.
I see. That is why Ive been experiencing this weird deja vu Was it because of you?
Paaah!
The light pool around the golden bull disappeared, and it transformed into a human. It surprised Sean to see yet another version of himself standing right there.
Bel-Marduk inquired, What is the count right now?
Right at that moment, Chang-Sun could be certain that Bel-Marduk had already experienced something similar, or the same, long ago.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
