Episode 165
If one were to choose the most desolate temple in heaven, it was definitely the headquarters of love.
In other words, Geumgyeongcheon (???). It was also called ‘moon’.
It was Aiden’s destination.
The carriage carrying him was moving through space.
“Almost there.”
Angel Ji pointed out the window. I couldn’t say a word because of Aiden’s orders, but I just opened my mouth for the first time.
“You will see the moon.”
Iden looked out the window.
The gray-white land spread out beneath the carriage. It was a barren and dry land. Not a single blade of grass had grown.
Jicheonsa said bitterly.
“It’s a secluded land, right?”
The splendor of heaven was nowhere to be found.
Iden chanted while staring at the moon.
“You must be lonely.”
“It is God’s punishment.”
The once brilliant moon had now become Atraksha’s exile.
Jicheonsa glanced at Aiden.
I wanted to tell him not to stay too long, but I didn’t dare open my mouth. There is no way Iden would respect the punishment of his enemies when he declared war on his heavenly father.
“How long is the exile?”
“······Eternity.”
According to the original, it was three hundred years.
It was different now.
“Do you know why?”
Angel Ji opened his mouth.
“Dalke escaped Geumgyeongcheon once without serving his entire sentence. Because of that, my sentence was extended.”
He added cautiously.
“It was to meet the sun.”
It was as Aiden expected.
“Then the moon conceived a white sheep.”
“Right.”
Aiden was calm.
“It’s as if you knew.”
“I met Kadak.”
“I guess you heard the whole story.”
That wasn’t it. In the past, it had been roughly delivered to the Heavenly Lord.
Aiden said.
“About thirty years ago, Kadak brought the moon and sun into contact. As a result of that reaction, I was born and Dal was sentenced to life imprisonment. “I know this much, but am I wrong?”
“Exactly.”
The situation was as expected, but there was one curious corner.
“But how did my body end up in the real world?”
Aiden grew up in a monastery. It didn’t fit. Since I was born in heaven, I should have grown up in heaven.
“Archangel Serbiana. “Maybe Baekyang saw her too.”
We met at the Heavenly Father Council a few days ago. It was an angel who was with Beelzebub.
Iden opened his mouth.
“An archangel took me there?”
“That’s right. I couldn’t help it. “Baekyang’s existence should not have been discovered by the demons.”
He must have tried his best to kill him somehow.
I now know why I started in this world. There were many other things to ask.
I planned to solve all my questions about my birth at Geumgyeongcheon.
“So the angels were sharing all the secrets about me?”
Jicheonsa shook his head.
“It was a top secret granted to only a few people. “We only know everything now, but until a few years ago, most people didn’t know about the existence of white sheep.”
The guy was right away.
“Salvation Port Magic Association. They were the only ones who had information about the White Sheep.”
An organization that did not exist in the original work. Iden asked.
“Salvation port horse club?”
“It is a secret organization under Baekyang. “Archangel Serbiana is the leader.”
It’s an affiliated organization that I don’t even know about. Aiden couldn’t quite understand.
Jicheonsa said.
“The sun arranged the organization for Baekyang.”
It was already a different world from the original.
“They said it was a secret society. “I think you know very well.”
A revealed secret was no longer a secret.
Angel Ji bowed his head slightly.
“Because I am also a member of the Salvation Anti-Demon Society. “It’s just the bottom line, though.”
Aiden laughed.
“The name of the organization is Hangma, and you advised me to compromise with the devil. “It’s a group whose identity is unknown.”
Jicheonsa trembled at the barbed words and stuttered as he opened his mouth.
“I just think it’s premature…”
“There’s no need for a sword that doesn’t cut down demons, whether it’s the Salvation Port Demonic Association or anything else.”
Jicheonsa bowed his head.
“I will listen carefully.”
Aiden lifted his upper body.
He said while looking into his eyes.
“Do not compromise with evil.”
“I will accept it.”
Aiden nodded and changed the topic.
“I have to see Atraksha. “Where can I meet you?”
There was no sign of the moon in the vast gray-white wasteland.
Even Iden’s keen senses couldn’t catch her.
I could only smell a faint odor.
Angel Ji opened his mouth.
“I’m heading to the brain prison.”
The carriage began to run at high speed.
The same scene was repeated continuously.
We finally stopped in front of a huge crater.
A hole well over 100m in diameter. As soon as the carriage hit the ground, Iden frowned.
A large hellhound was circling the crater.
That was the identity of the stench.
Probably a prison guard. Iden got out of the carriage. I stretched out my holy flames and slaughtered the guy in an instant.
Angel Ji didn’t say anything. Looks like I got used to it.
Iden said to the angel.
“Please wait.”
“I will be waiting.”
Iden jumped down the hole.
*
An untimely presence appeared in a vast communal prison where no one was looking.
It was the sound of a crash, and soon a white light bloomed.
The inmate squatting in the corner raised his head.
Radiance is coming. It was burning away the inky darkness and illuminating the interior.
Whiteness spread gradually. Soon, a halo of light began to flow around the prisoner.
A supreme beauty was reflected in a shallow well. The goddess of love and one of the sources of beauty. It was the moon Atraksha.
She squatted down and raised her upper body.
He muttered softly.
“······Aiden’s
son has arrived. There was no one unrecognizable.
The approaching light stopped right in front of my nose.
The new model, which burned brightly, lowered its luminescence a little.
A calm voice continued.
“Long time no see.”
Aiden’s appearance was clearly revealed.
It was difficult for Atraksha to decide what expression to make or what to say.
How many times have you imagined it? As reality approached, my head stiffened a little.
He retracted his unconsciously extended hand and spoke softly.
“······sorry. “Because I couldn’t tell you.”
The two had already met in the past in the Baranteharan Labyrinth. Iden saved the incarnation of Atraksha from being violated.
I didn’t reveal the truth at that time. I couldn’t explain it as a mother-son relationship.
Aiden said.
“You don’t need to apologize. “Because it would have been banned.”
Atraksha slowly shook his head.
“It wasn’t tied to a taboo.”
A look of puzzlement crossed Aiden’s face. So why? It was difficult to know why. If it had been revealed, the development might have been much easier.
Iden asked.
“Is there any other reason?”
“that’s right. “I guess I’ll have to explain.”
I wanted to know.
“Please do me a favor.”
Atraksha took a deep breath. He was silent for a while to gather his thoughts, then slowly opened his mouth.
“Before we begin, I should first explain the possession of ‘Yoo Ji-tae.’”
At that moment, Iden stiffened. Yoo Ji-tae’s possession? How could Atraksha know that fact? A character in a game understands the existence of reality. Aiden couldn’t understand it at all.
It froze.
“I didn’t mean to embarrass you, but I’m sorry.”
Iden, who was standing blankly, struggled to open his lips.
“You did that…”
“It’s because Taeyang and I are the ones who brought Yoo Ji-tae into this world. It was selfish. I have nothing to say other than an apology. really sorry.”
A character in a game summoned a real-life player? There was no occult like this.
Iden said, forcing himself to remain calm.
“By any chance, you know this world…”
Atraksha drew a bitter line.
“Do you consider it entertainment?”
Yes, Deus Boccatio is a game.
Iden nodded slowly.
Atraksha said.
“different. “The world you experienced thirteen times was clearly entertainment, but the world you are possessing and stepping into is clearly reality.”
I felt dizzy. Thirteen clearly meant play until the 13th inning. Bentham Jitayu Cain Piña Gerna Gergio Balmont… Anyway, armies of heaven. Atraksha knew even that.
“Also Deus Boccatio is the prophecy of the sun.”
In the end, the name of the game is even mentioned.
“······Book of Prophecy?”
“Your book of prophecy. The sun spread prophecies across numerous world lines. Novels, entertainment, plays, movies, essays, etc. It was spread in various forms depending on the culture and level of civilization of each world. “It was entertainment in your world.”
Aiden, who was listening, felt dizzy.
“I need to sit down for a bit.”
Atraksha guided Iden’s hand to a small stone.
“sorry. There is no suitable place. “It’s shabby, but you can sit comfortably.”
As Iden sat down, Araksha also sat next to him.
“Do you need some time to think?”
“it’s okay. Please continue.”
Atraksha nodded.
“Out of the many intelligent beings who have read the book of prophecy, the sun has chosen the wood most suitable for preparing for the end times. “It was you, Yoo Ji-tae.”
To use Earth as an example, among Deus Boccatio players, there was no player who got closer to the ending than Yoo Ji-tae.
“So we brought you in as a savior. “To prevent the apocalypse.”
My head was too complicated.
Iden opened his mouth.
“Then the sun and you knew about the end and retrograde of this world?”
“that’s right. Retrograde is also the power of the sun.”
Putting aside the question of possession, there was another situation that I could not understand.
“If the sun knew the future, it would be able to prevent the apocalypse. “Why are you repeating your mistakes?”
The sun has always oppressed and destroyed the gods of the continent. He called himself the one god and tried not to be together.
It will be the biggest cause of the end. This episode was the same. Until Iden went into orbit.
“It’s a side effect of retrograde. Once that power has been used, the caster cannot change his or her actions. “If you change your attitude, the sun will disappear regardless of the outcome of that round.”
Iden asked.
“This episode, Taeyang started to change his behavior.”
“So he will disappear. In the future, whether you prevent the apocalypse or not.”
Was the sun such an altruistic being? Aiden couldn’t believe it at all.
I passed it for now. Because there was a more important question.
“Then what are the hosts of heaven?”
“The messengers you sent. Originally, I was planning to use them to prevent the apocalypse. I watched a few episodes, but it seemed impossible. Therefore, the sun did not change its course.”
Atraksha added.
“It’s different this time. “The sun sensed potential in you, so it began to intervene in this world.”
This meant that this episode was truly the last.
Because the sun that changed its course will disappear. There will be no more retrogrades.
Aiden said.
“What is this body? “I understand that Heavenly Forces and Kadak proposed this body to the sun.”
In that case, ‘Aiden’ was not in the original plan of the sun.
“that’s right. Yoo Ji-tae You must have originally been possessed by one of the heavenly forces. “It was probably ‘Jitaeyu.’”
Ji Tae-yu was Yoo Ji-tae’s first character.
“It’s a simple reason. Because Ji Tae-yu suffered the most setbacks. “Dozens of experiences must have been accumulated again for you.”
Yoo Ji-tae’s thirteen times and Ji Tae-yu’s dozens of times. Iden would have started with an answer sheet.
“But the sun changed the plan. “It was because of the Heavenly Lord’s suggestion.”
The heavenly host asked the sun to create the most outstanding body. Child of the sun and moon. It was the best bloodline.
Of course, Cheongun just wanted to raise Aiden and recruit him as a colleague.
This is where Taeyang’s solo action came into play.
The soul of ‘Yoo Ji-tae’ was also added to the created godhood. Originally, he would have possessed Ji Tae-yu.
For Aiden, things were much better now.
Aiden said.
“I said I was going to overwrite Ji Tae-yu’s experience on mine. Doesn’t that mean the memories merge? However, I do not hold any memories of the ‘original’ Iden.”
Iden did not remember the monastery life before possession.
As Araksha mentioned, shouldn’t everything come to mind? It was strange.
Atraksha nodded.
“First of all, it is a fusion of souls rather than a merging of memories. Even so, you are right. “It’s normal to have memories.”
Souls merged? In other words, it meant that ‘Yoo Ji-tae’ and ‘Iden’ were assimilated.
Atraksha pointed to Aiden’s arms.
“Are you holding it? “Geumgyeongnakru (????) I sent you.”
The Geumgyeongnaru was an artifact received from the moon when Saya and Aiden argued.
Tears of the Moon. It has the power to erase memories.
Aiden was not used.
Atraksha said.
“You misunderstood. “I didn’t mean to use it on Saya.”
It was right away.
“You should drink it when the time comes. Those are tears that restore memories. “Not deletion.”
A look of puzzlement crossed Aiden’s face.
“What memory do you mean?”
“It was the monastery days. “These are Iden’s memories before you were possessed.”
“······It sounds like it was erased on purpose.”
Atraksha nodded.
“A god born is extremely arrogant and wanton. Also, the presence is so huge. “If Yoo Ji-tae, who was still young, had assimilated with Aiden’s soul, ‘Yoo Ji-tae’s’ ego would have probably disappeared.”
Only then did I find out.
The current Iden was not Yoo Ji-tae.
A separate entity that is a combination of Yoo Ji-tae and Iden. If you drink Geumgyeongnakru, you will be more accurate.
Atraksha opened his mouth.
“Now you are ready to accept the memories of ‘Aiden.’”
Yoo Ji-tae’s mental strength was already far outside the standard. Even the Godhead’s ego will be able to endure it well enough.
Atraksha said.
“Your status was a little lacking in Barante Haran. “I couldn’t talk about it then.”
Atraksha’s eyes trembled a little.
“You are my son.”
Yoo Ji-tae and Iden are assimilated, so what she said is probably true.
Atraksha lowered his head.
“sorry. “It must be a burden for you.”
Iden stared at her silently.
I was lost in thought for a moment.
This world is not a game. It was a real world somewhere.
He was kidnapped because he was good at playing the game.
Will anything change?
Iden has always done his best, believing that life here is directly connected to reality.
The context does not change.
“······What is the benefit of drinking this?”
Atraksha laughed slightly.
Because Iden was as expected.
“You will realize your original divine status. “Not a seeker of annihilation and a noble hypocrite, but the god of the moon and the sun. I don’t know exactly, but I believe you will be satisfied.”
Iden took out a silver glass bottle.
I drank it right away.
Memories, emotions, and the original personality of ‘Aiden’ instantly seeped into my mind.
The status window crashed.
Aiden’s eyes changed.
