Chapter 445: Star, Jotunheim (5)

Wooosh!

An Inferno Sight blazed up in Chang-Suns eye. Using his [Gnostic Eye] to locate the trace of Odins divine power, he found runes disintegrating in a corner, indicating the activation of a rune magic spell.

Its not Odin, Chang-Sun concluded. Judging from its structure, however, whoever used rune magic was certainly connected to Odin in some way.

Paah!

Chang-Sun darted toward the runes before they could completely disappear.

Master?

Where are you going?

Surprised, Sinmara and Jin quickly turned to Chang-Sun, but they were forced to return their focus to the Yeti due to its thickening Anomaly.

Tap!

Arriving just before the runes disappeared, Chang-Sun waved his hand to check where their trace led.

Is it over there?

The trail was so faint that Chang-Sun would have failed to follow it if it werent for the gnosis that he had accumulated through his [Gnostic Eye].

Swoooosh!

Chang-Sun climbed over a snowy mountain in pursuit of the trace, finally reaching where the large-scale magic spell was activated.

Hmm.

Entering a palace, he found dozens of Yeti corpses covered in blood, each one with a blown limb and severe burn marks on their perpetually grimacing faces. The bloody footsteps and traces left all over the place evidenced that they were killed by a single being.

They were strong enough to annihilate these Anomalies?

Mystery, Anomaly, Abomination, and Anathema. Mephistopheles had created four stages that would lead Chang-Sun to becoming an Outer Celestial. Every time Chang-Sun reached a higher stage, he gained more control over his power.

However, the Anomalies Chang-Sun had come across were a lot different. His visit to the and encounter with the evidenced that.

An Anomaly couldnt be defined. After all, it was akin to a phenomenon created whenever ones disintegration distorted the laws of nature. It could be as powerful as Chang-Sun or the Seven Wonders but could also be so weak that it wouldnt even leave an impression on people. Either way, an Anomaly was still an Anomaly.

The Frost Giants were warriors who proclaimed themselves to be Bestlas descendants. They used to bring terror to Worldline #801. Such beings being overwhelmed with despair and fear were bound to become powerful Anomalies. Perhaps that was why a lone Yeti managed to hold its ground against Sinmara.

There were over thirty corpses here. If the culprit overpowered these Yetis all at once, then they had to be quite powerful. They were probably even as strong as Chang-Sun.

Is this why I didnt find any monsters in the Dungeon? Chang-Sun wondered.

It seemed his second hypothesis was right. Bergelmir and Frost Giants were in a crisis that prevented them from paying attention to the Fire Giants entering their world.

Their situation is related to Odin.

He had finally found a lead to Odin, who had been missing for over a hundred Rollbacks now.

Im not just looking to restore . Bestla was practically my teacher and mother. Im going to conquer , , and to be like her.

Im going to create a colossal castle that no one would be able to approach and become so strong that no one would dare challenge me! I will be completely free!

Chang-Sun nodded.

Do better, okay?

Chang-Sun quietly laughed, thinking that hadnt changed at all.

Hating his reaction, Herald slightly frowned. And

Chang-Sun started paying more attention, instinctively realizing that this was where the message truly began.

Weve detected from this Rollback loop.

Chang-Sun was confused. was the last thing he expected to hear. However, before he could ask more about it, Herald had gestured at him to stop because the message wasnt done yet. Hence, he stayed quiet.

For reasons we couldnt understand, Rollback had been occasionally activating. We used to believe that it was the Systemno, the law of causalitys error, but we have now determined otherwise. Weve discovered that youre at the center of this Rollbac and that its different from the others.

Chang-Suns Rollback being different weighed down on his heart. He couldnt quite grasp how Bel-Marduk and other Lee Chang-Suns Rollbacks could be different from his.

No, there is one explanation.

Hsan, the Outer Celestial from Cha Ye-Euns old memory, had been bugging Chang-Sun.

He mentioned a turning point.

Did that have something to do with what was going on?

Well look for the cause on our end since I have a rough idea about whats going on In any case, focus on what youve been doing, and dont get involved with anything weird.

Thats the end of the message, Herald said.

Chang-Sun nodded. He couldnt stop laughing. The message overall seemed like a bunch of grumbles, but Chang-Sun could feel that was worried about him. That was also the reason behind the last part of the message. Anything weird clearly referred to the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Bel-Marduk.

Hes finally decided to stop hesitating, Chang-Sun thought.

Chang-Sun had told some things in the Changgong Library.

Who cares about duties and responsibilities?

So what? Everyone is responsible for their own life.

Do what you want. When you let obligations and responsibilities get the better of you, there wont be a you left anymore.

Bound to the law of casualty that he had established, had been reluctant to intervene in Eros affairs. However, after spending some time contemplating, he seemed to be trying to break free from those restrictions now. An Emperors active intervention could ruin the law of causality, though, so he would have to keep his involvement to the minimum.

Nevertheless, openly declaring his support for Chang-Sun was already a significant improvement. The recent Rollback loop had rendered him mentally fatigued, but receiving s support made him feel warmth for the first time in a long while.

Oh, wait. I left out one part from Mr. Machinas message, Herald said.

What is it?

Trryyy. Trrryyyy harder. Do you really think your efforts right now are going to cut it? Pain makes the youth! Tryyyyy hardeeeer and improveeee. Improooooove! You know, when I was your age, I couldnt even imagine[1] Herald chattered.

Chang-Sun wasnt sure how to respond.

1. This is just a comedic device to show is old(boomer).
