[Reward Information]

Name: Hekar Vision

Category: ???

‘A relic containing the vision of the Hekkar people picked up by Bulg during the first conflict between the Orcs and the Hekkar people.’

‘If you collect souls and awaken sleeping artifacts, you can contact the source of the material world.’

* Souls remaining until consciousness is opened: 150

When I wondered why the Orcs had items from the Hekar tribe, I found out that Bulg had something they had picked up during the war.

Daesung looked at the information on the wooden doll, but could not completely understand the meaning written in the text.

‘The source of the material world….’

I understand that the doll is a medium to reach that ‘source.’

However, I don’t know what the concept of ‘origin’ actually means…

‘It might be better to write it down.’

Just because I didn’t know didn’t take my attention away from the doll.

Since the Earth is constantly overlapping with space and time in an external dimension, it may be as thin as a thread, so we had to find a clue to resolve the situation.

And this doll may provide an opportunity to get one step closer to that clue.

Daesung decided to try it out and took a close look at the doll.

‘Does sacrificing 150 souls mean killing 150 people?’

Is it because it is from the same Hekar tribe? It is a mechanism that is not much different from when collecting life stones to activate the power of < Connection >.

It was the same back then, but collecting lifestones was a very cumbersome and troublesome task.

< The demonic beasts of Pandemonium willingly volunteer to relieve the Absolute of his hard work. >

< Some demons advise the Absolute that even insignificant dead souls can sometimes be used as medicine. > The

demonic beasts of Pandemonium, who had been quiet, suddenly sent a message. .

It was said before that the system does not convey the minor emotional states of the demon beasts, except for some essential messages.

In other words, the words of the demonic beasts in front of us are worth listening to.

“Do you mean that you will sacrifice your soul to volunteer?”

Strictly speaking, it is a dead soul, but the soul is also a branch of the soul.

If it were possible to awaken the wooden dolls by sacrificing the dead souls of the demonic beasts, it would be much easier than collecting the souls by running on foot.

“Then it’s good for me. “Do it.”

I wanted to praise the guys who don’t need to have good feelings, at least this time.

Daeseong raised the wooden doll to eye level and freed the dead soul without delay.

Hiyaaaaa-!!

150 ghosts that came out of the whirlpool flocked to the wooden doll.

The wooden doll absorbed the ghosts like a sponge absorbing air.

[30 souls merge with Hekkar’s vision. The vision’s consciousness is awakened by 25%.]

[70 souls are fused with Hekkar’s vision. Vision’s consciousness is awakened by 50%.]

As the ghosts were sucked into the wooden doll, the doll began to grow larger and larger.

That’s not all. Every time the guy regained consciousness, black hair that was not there before sprouted on the top of his head, and his hard wooden skin took on a texture similar to that of a living thing.

While Daeseong stared blankly at the scene, the doll had already absorbed all 150 dead souls.

[150 souls merge with Hekkar’s vision. The vision’s consciousness is 100% awakened.]

[Hekar’s vision opens its eyes.]

The doll, whose soul had been completely absorbed, had the appearance of a woman without a single thread.

< The guide to the source meets you. >

A voice came out, but Vision’s lips were tightly closed. The appearance was reminiscent of a machine that turns its mainspring and emits pre-recorded voices.

< The path to the source is connected to the inside of my body. If you want to walk that path, please cut open my stomach. >

“Sure.”

Suddenly!

Without hesitation, Daesung slashed Vision’s abdomen vertically with his fire-flame sword.

The skin gently split to the left and right, like splitting a bag of sand.

Beyond the cracked skin, a blue-black abyss stretched out.

[C-133 Would you like to enter the source of the material world ‘Earth’?]

We must grasp at straws.

It was always like that. The system did not place meaningless rewards in his hands.

‘If this is also one of the great trends that I have to ride, I will willingly submit myself.’

Thinking like that, Daesung threw himself into the bottomless pit that opened up inside Vision’s body.

***

The six apostles gathered in the heavenly sanctuary. Usually, except for Armagan and Lemuët, the other apostles were scattered in various places to take care of the citizens, so it was a very unusual sight to see all the apostles gathered in one place.

“….”

A round table placed on a flower garden. Among them, the third seat on the left was completely empty.

While Lemuët looked at the empty seat with sad eyes, Armagan spoke first.

“There are many reasons why famine struck heaven. There will be a clear correlation with Rodrik’s death.”

When Lemuët heard that Roderick had died, he bit his lip and then looked up at the sky where a lonely wind was flowing.

The seven dawns symbolizing the life of an apostle have now become six.

Even if I didn’t want to believe it, that proved it. Rodrik is dead.

Armagan continued what he was saying.

“But it is strange that the death of just one apostle would cause a drought so suddenly. I guess not everyone has something to point out. “It’s definitely the white devil’s fault.”

The apostles’ complexions became pale. Just the name White Devil was already a trauma to all the Apostles.

Even Armagan, who speaks, has an indifferent expression on his face, but the end of his voice trembles slightly.

“…By now, the space and time of the dimensional trees must have been wrapped up in the world he lives in.”

“There’s no way he would just leave an uninvited guest barging into his house. never.”

It was the fourth apostle, Adonis, who received Armagan’s words.

He was very disgusted because he remembered having his head split open by Daesung who came into the sanctuary.

“That guy will somehow erase the entire dimensional space and time from that world. “I don’t know how that’s possible, but he definitely has the power to do that.”

“Isn’t that why heaven ended up like this?”

Armagan sighed.

“…I wonder if there will be another disaster like this in the heavens that exist by dividing the space and time of the multiverse.”

“….”

The apostles bowed their heads with a solemn look.

Heaven cannot exist alone.

Just as the sky cannot exist alone where there is no land.

Ironically, Heaven, a world that exists ‘above’ all dimensions of the multiverse,

cannot even exist unless it draws on the power of the ‘source’ inherent in space and time of other dimensions.

“If we continue to let him erase the space and time of the dimensional tree, one day even the very existence of our land will be in jeopardy.”

“We have to stop it.”

“War. Let’s go to war! “We are sending all the Holy Knights and Legions to the world where he lives!”

“Before that guy continues his rampage…!”

When they heard that heaven might disappear, the apostles cried out for war with one voice, as if their feet were on fire.

But Armagan was cool. He has always shown a strong attitude, but this time was an exception.

“Even if the entire Holy Knights fight against him, is there any guarantee of victory?”

“….”

“He single-handedly invaded Heaven, burned down the sanctuary, and easily killed all seven of us.”

It wasn’t even a close race. The White Devils crushed them overwhelmingly.

Even if all the armies of heaven were mobilized, the result would not change.

“War is the last resort. “When all other options are truly gone, we must choose that path.”

“You mean Armagan… do you know of any options we have other than war?”

Einrich, who was sitting in a position where Armagan’s eyes met, asked.

Armagan nodded.

“We make the white devil’s brethren our incarnation.”

“…!”

“I’m giving them a revelation.”

“Let them kill the white devil first before we do so…”

“Yes. Since we are not the ones suffering anyway, it is okay to fail. No, it will fail. Because he won’t die easily. But if you spend a long time dealing with Hwasin repeatedly, he will eventually get tired.”

It was the first time for the apostles to incarnate an entity from an outside dimension.

I knew it was possible, but I rarely had the chance to use it.

“It is not too late to start a war after the White Devil is tired.”

Now the time has come.

It’s time to use strong hands.

***

I have experienced the pain of being burned, stabbed, and frozen deep in my bones countless times.

However, this was the first time for Daesung to feel as if existence itself was disappearing.

As he drifted through the dark, vast sea, he had to focus all his attention on his five senses to avoid losing his mind.

‘If you let your guard down even a little, your soul will be destroyed.’

The bottomless pit was such an absurd space that Daesung’s entire body was drenched in sweat.

If you think of yourself as a painting, it feels like someone outside the painting keeps trying to erase it with an eraser.

As I furrowed my eyebrows and concentrated on holding on, I soon heard a voice.

< As expected, you are a strong being who will not disappear even if you touch me. >

It was a tone that seemed to be half male and half mixed.

It’s not like someone showed up in front of Daesung.

Voices were coming from all over the vast sea. The space itself spoke to Daesung.

“Who is it?”

< If you knew where you came from, wouldn’t the answer be obvious? >

“The source?”

< That's right. >

“…It’s ridiculous. Was the origin originally something that could talk?”

< Even insects that you consider mere creatures make cries, so why can’t I do that? Every concept that makes up all things in the world has its own voice. Time, space, nature... they just don't touch each other. >

“….”

< But look. We've reached this point so proudly. It’s because our meeting was arranged by a great natural law that cannot even be violated. >

“You speak as if you know everything.”

< I don't know everything, but at least I know enough to answer your questions. why? Don’t you like it because it’s cocky? >

“That can’t be possible. “I desperately needed someone who knew a lot like you.”

Geunwon laughed softly as if he had heard a pleasant joke. It was difficult to tell the gender, but if you were to ask, the origin seemed to be closer to ‘female’.

She did not carelessly reprimand or get angry even when Daesung fired back at her in a somewhat noble-sounding tone.

It’s as if everyone knows he has that kind of personality.

< Oh, you’re pitiful. >

“What happened all of a sudden? I?”

< Who else is here besides you and me? Right now, your insides are filled with deep regret and guilt. >

“….”

< Was I wrong? If you’re wrong, it’s okay to be honest and angry. >

“I’m not stubborn… to the point where I reject what is true.”

I admitted it obediently. Everything the source said was right. I couldn’t deny it.

Because Daesung was blaming himself for all the problems that befell the Earth.

Yeah, maybe… if I hadn’t gone on a rampage in heaven in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.

< If you had done something wrong, I, the origin of this star, would have gotten angry first. But am I angry now? >

“No.”

< Yes. That's what it is. You can't say everything is your fault. Because in the end, this is a good thing. >

“It’s a good thing? I don’t understand. “Where on earth?”

< I'll explain it later, so don't fuss too much. I have quite a few things I want to share with you. Because you are the only one who has received my fragments. >

“What do you mean fragments?”

< 'Fragment of the Origin'. In other words, it could be said to be the ‘source’ of your power. >

“I don’t know what you’re talking about earlier. I don’t remember what I received from you from the beginning…” As

I continued to say that, one fact suddenly occurred to me. It flashed like a thunderbolt.

The source of his power.

The source of all power that helped him survive in hell, defeat the demon god, and become the new ruler of hell.

Daesung’s eyes sank as darkly as the vast ocean on which he was floating.

“Then you…”

< Yes, >

Geunwon whispered.

< I am the one who gave you the system. >
