The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 258
Episode 258
[Namgoong… What did he do?]
The Aspects urged as if they could not contain their curiosity at Yor’s words.
[I don’t know.]
[…What?]
The Aspects frowned at his answer.
[That’s why I’m waiting too. All I know is that he came to me and said he could catch Ran and Wu.]
[That’s it… is that it? You planned this incredible thing with just that one word?]
[Oh, of course.]
Yor smiled strangely at the perplexed people.
[I had the same reaction as you. I am in the position of criticizing this plan for being ridiculous.]
[What?]
[I am in the same position as you. I don’t know exactly what he got.]
[That kind of thing…! I told you the answer was definitely that guy! I told you that the author has done something to gain status!]
The Mother of Breeze shouted at Yor.
[You brag like you know something, but then you end up saying the same thing? I’m not kidding…]
[It’s just that I don’t know what I did. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t confident that he can beat the Aspect.]
[…What does that mean?]
[The guy has forged a new chain.]
Yor spoke in a low voice.
[That is clearly something no other Aspect has been able to do.]

Kaaaaang—!!!
Namgung hit the hammer with all his might.
White light poured into his eyes along with a cheerful ringing sound.
“…!!!”
However, despite the pouring light, Namgoong did not close his eyes.
Wow…! Kyaaaagh…!!
Surprisingly, there were two snakes fighting to the death in the light.
There was a blue snake and a red snake.
Namgung realized that the snakes represented two chains.
As if in a struggle of strength, the guys were tangled up in each other, tossing and turning and running wild.
“The way they fight so as not to lose is very similar to their owner. The key is what to do with those guys…”
Even at a glance, the snakes had great power.
Crash –
Namgung raised the [All Evil Sword] and jumped towards the tangled snakes.
“First, let’s see how great these guys are.”
[Kyaaaaagh――!!!]
[Kyaa! [Kya!!]
When Namgung came between the two snakes, the tangled snakes all showed their teeth at him.
“Whoop…!!”
Pushing the power boiling in his veins into the sword, Namgung struck the snake’s head with the blade.
The red snake narrowly dodged his attack, but the blue snake that could not dodge was thrown back by his sword.
[…Kyaaaa!!]
The guy who flew several meters staggered and fell to the ground, shaking his head as if he had lost consciousness.
[Chwii…! Chwiik…!]
The red snake, which had not been hit by Namgung’s attack, stuck out its tongue to warn him.
“Looking at you, it looks like you are Ran’s chain.”
He said to the red snake.
“I will hunt your master. But to do that, ironically, we need your strength. I don’t think they will listen if I just ask…”
Kuung –
Namgung placed his sword on the floor.
“Then it would be better to start by welcoming a new owner.”
[Kyaaaa!!]
The two snakes that were fighting each other this time rushed towards Namgung.
▶ The cloak of outer space is activated.
▶ Would you like to use the power of the cloak?
Namgung wore a cape.
The energy welling up in his veins was released explosively, repelling the snakes rushing towards him.
[Cruch…! Crunch!!]
The snakes trembled as if in pain.
“Actually, this is an unnecessary item since you have gained the power of the Aspect, but…”
Namgung threw away the cloak he was wearing and walked towards the snakes trembling on the floor.
“Disappointing? “I came here to make a weapon to kill God, but these guys can’t even withstand this level of power.”
[… Kek! [Kekek!!]
Namgung grabbed the red snake.
“It seems that the weapons of the Beginning Aspects are worse than the rare items from Carnival.”
[Chwiik…!]
The red snake struggled as if it were in pain from Namgung’s grip, but was unable to escape him.
[Why don’t you stop bothering me? Those children are just born. It is still bound to be incomplete.]
That was then.
Namgung slowly raised his head when he heard a voice above him.
“…Yor?”
[That child did look like me. Because I made it.]
It was a familiar face, but the voice was completely different.
The sound that rang in my head, not his voice, made me feel his strength without having to explain it.
“You created Yor…? “Who are you?”
[You should thank your wife. If she hadn’t become the revealer of Wu, you wouldn’t have been able to gain the power of Aspect. If that were the case… we would never have seen each other again.]
“So. “What are you?”
The man who resembled Yor grinned at Namgung.
[Bow your head and be polite.]
Boom!!
At that moment, Namgung got down on one knee and bowed his head towards him.
“…!!”
My body instinctively followed those words.
Namgoong tried to escape, but his body did not move regardless of his will.
No, it may sound strange, but the reason his body doesn’t move may be because he doesn’t have the will to escape.
I felt like I had to follow the orders of the being in front of me.
[This is what it is.]
He smiled again at the embarrassed Namgung.
[Lin(暽). Do you want to make fun of this situation? He is the one who knocked on the door himself.]
At that moment, a small hand was placed on Namgoong’s shoulder, and Namgoong felt as if he had come to his senses again, as if the blood that had been blocked all over his body was flowing again.
[It’s been a while. Lu (淚). I never thought you would gain the power of status instead of that man with the crown of the octagonal hall. [You really care about humans.]
[Because they are all my children.]
The being with the face of Yor called Lin looked at Lu with cold eyes.
[Is that guy trying to destroy Ran and Wu? There’s no way they wouldn’t know that if they disappear, the world itself will disappear.]
[That’s why I came to you. Lin (暽). The source of the first and perfect phase.]
Rin sighed softly at his words.
[You have to say it right away. I am not in perfect condition. It’s just a collection of memories that remain from that time.]
[But isn’t it only you who retain all the emotions and memories in their full form?]
[Even so, I’m also different from those times. At most, he is of mere ordinary status.]
Lu looked at Lin.
[The Perfect Aspect knew that one day it would be divided. No matter how great your status is, it is natural for your existence to change just as the world changes. But because he knew about the change, he was able to leave it behind. me and you I am for humans. And… you.]
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..
When Lu stroked Rin’s cheek, a halo of light sparkled between the two as if they were resonating.
[For the status itself. The status called God is surprisingly similar to humans. That may be because the full phase itself was such a being. Even if you know and accept that things will change… on the other hand, you may have a pure heart that doesn’t want to change.]
Lou laughed.
[And the history of humans who resemble Sang Sang also surprisingly contains the mind of Sang Sang. Humans have left behind many of the things we did in history and faith.]
And then I looked at Namgung.
[Humans even left the events of when Yor dropped me from paradise to this world in the Bible and history.]
[That must be because you created the current statuses and raised humans. They probably don’t know about me either. Unlike Ran and Wu, who were sealed, I have been trapped in these chains from the moment my memories existed.]
[I am not trapped. The Sanctity Aspect must have kept you hidden here. In the closest place so that Ran and Wu do not know.]
[Why?]
[Humans are not unaware of your existence. It’s just that I couldn’t find it and couldn’t see it. This is what they left about you, something they didn’t know.]
『Hope』
[Like what remained in Pandora’s box. The intact phase leaves you in chains. And so that only those who are qualified can meet you.]
[Does that mean you are the author?]
Lu nodded.
[Living beings do not know your existence. That may be why humans cannot meet each other in their lifetime. However, he learned the art of necromancy, which connects life and death. And by returning, he learned of his wife’s existence, and she further learned of your existence.]
[You’re a lucky guy.]
[All of this may be a reward for his efforts. If I had to count one lucky thing, it would be having a talented daughter. Because the child’s magical power accepted the mother’s soul.]
“That’s not luck. That’s because she resembles Su-ah. “In my past life, I was stupid and didn’t notice that kid’s talent.”
[There is no need to humble yourself too much. Because there is no one as excellent as you in this world.]
“Since I have returned, this is only natural.”
[Even before the regression, didn’t you survive until the end? That proves your excellence.]
Namgung shook his head at Lu’s words.
“Fighting to survive is different from fighting to save someone. “I tried it and found out.”
[Does this mean that we are acknowledging the eight great powers that were ignored?]
“It means that there is a reason why the high-ranking officials chose them. There are people who play heroes and there are people who create things for their own benefit, but at least their excellence is real.] [They
have changed.]
“Because people change at any time.”
Lin smiled in satisfaction at Namgoong’s answer.
[Lu(淚). If you gain the power of the Aspect, you will be able to deal with the divided Lan and Wu, right? What is the reason you want to have the chain?]
[Because you have to destroy Lan and Wu while they are one.]
[With your power, that wouldn’t be impossible, right?]
[The reason I received the power of the phase instead was because of what if? It’s just for preparation.]
Lu pointed to Namgung.
[It must be him, not me, who destroys the unified phase. Lend him your strength. So that humans can realize that they are the masters of this world…]
Lin also looked at Namgung.
[Please become his status.]
