Chapter 661
Chapter 661
A prison of time that was reset from Holy Land to Uld.
He quietly watched as the landscape of the world changed.
In fact, since they had locked Uld here, they could have left the prison and returned when she suffered as much as possible and opened her mouth.
‘I need to see what Uld went through too.’
The past of Yoon Se-ah’s death was also replayed.
Shouldn’t you look at this too?
Seong Ji-han crossed his arms while thinking this.
Meanwhile.
“W…here….”
Uld’s usual composure had completely disappeared.
I looked at the newly changing world with trembling eyes.
A prison of time that sent countless quarantined people into hell.
Because she has trapped more people than anyone else.
I knew very well that the effect of this was absolute.
But to have this happen to you…
“…what were you curious about? I answer. So…”
Uld spoke to Seong Ji-han more urgently than ever.
pop!
Even before she finished speaking, her body exploded.
‘what?’
no.
I was going to listen to something, but suddenly an explosion occurred.
Around the time when Seong Ji-han was perplexed when he saw Uld disappear like that.
Jiiiing….
The world was completely immersed in darkness.
and.
[Daughter.]
A majestic voice echoes from all directions.
Just hearing the man’s thick voice gave me quite a sense of intimidation.
‘Daughter? Then, the owner of this voice is….’
Could it be Mithra?
Seong Ji-han opened his eyes wide and looked around.
The world was still completely pitch black.
Then.
[It’s still not enough.]
The man’s voice was heard again.
Paaaaat…!
The surroundings became brighter and the scenery of this place began to be revealed.
A pure white floor with a huge clock of light spread out.
On top of it, people who looked exactly like Uld were lying crowded together with no space left.
‘Is it about a thousand people?’
It’s like seeing the World Tree elves from before.
That’s when Seong Ji-han, who instantly recognized the number lying on the floor, thought so.
[Let’s start again.]
Tick. Tick.
Let the hands of the clock turn.
Puff poop! A thousand Uld lying on the ground exploded all at once.
The exploded body continued to explode there.
Sussss….
On the floor where there were a thousand Uld.
Pop….
Only one eyeball fell on the floor.
[It’s really not enough.]
Floating….
And then the eyes come up.
The eyes that came to mind with their optic nerves fluttering around.
I approached Uld, who was floating in the air.
‘Is that really Uld?’
An Uld that looks the same as when it faced Seong Ji-han.
She looked more scared than ever.
He was staring at the eyes flying towards him.
“ah. father. “Please…”
She appealed to her father with tears in her eyes.
[The pain is only temporary. These eyes will further increase your power.]
Paaaaaa…!
A light flashed from Uld’s right eye, and the area where the eyeball was was burst open.
“Ahh…!”
Before she could even finish screaming.
Sigh!
Eyes floating in the air were injected into empty space.
Kwasik. Kwajik…
Then a twisting sound came from inside her body.
Drool…
Blood flowed from the newly installed eyeball.
[Let’s see.]
And by the time the blood stopped flowing from my eyes.
Jiiiing….
A clock of light rising above Uld’s body.
Let the hands of the clock spin wildly.
“Please…!”
Uld appealed to no avail.
pop…!
Her body exploded mercilessly like those on the floor.
one.
‘Some parts of the body are intact.’
With an eye that had just been injected.
Ear or right hand. Left foot, etc.
The fragments of the body maintained their shape intact.
‘Are we just leaving behind a body that can withstand the power of time reversal…?’
When Seong Ji-han thought this while looking at the remaining fragments of Uld.
[It’s a little better.]
Myrta was satisfied for the first time when she saw her.
And let’s turn the clock hands in the opposite direction.
Susssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
of of of of of the Ulds recovering again.
She hugged herself with trembling eyes.
I curled up in the air and cried.
“Father… I understand. If this is a process of strengthening my power. I’m willing… to take it. but. Please reduce this pain… at least. Isn’t it possible for your father…? “Just taking away the pain…”
I will accept the fact that my body is replaced like parts, so please make me forget about the pain.
Uld appealed to Mithra like that.
[You can’t do that.]
“Why on earth…?”
Mitra’s immediate answer was no.
[Because then the efficiency is not good.]
“…Efficiency?”
[Daughter. Your power becomes stronger through the trials you undergo. So the ordeal cannot be eliminated.]
My father refuses to allow pain reduction in order to strengthen time reversal.
He took another drink there.
[okay. It would be better for you to intensify the ordeal.]
“From here… further…?”
[It would be better if the moment of pain were brief.]
And so.
Flashing…!
A huge cluster of lights appeared in front of Uld.
‘Is that the real body of Mithra?’
Seong Ji-han himself was currently in a state where his entire body was sparkling due to the expansion of his power.
Mithra, who appeared here, was entirely light itself.
Since I was looking through the prison of time, I couldn’t accurately measure how much white light he had.
‘It seems he’s much stronger than me…’
Seong Ji-han thought while looking at Mitra, who was the light itself.
To keep up with that level, it would be difficult even if you obtained all the powers of the quarantined people.
When he was judging Mithra’s level.
“What on earth… are you trying to do…”
Uld asked in a trembling voice towards Mitra who appeared before his eyes.
Then a flash of light.
[It may be for the greater good, but amplifying the daughter’s pain is obviously evil.]
“….”
[So ‘Mitra’ does not do this.]
No.
Wasn’t it evil to destroy a thousand Uld and save one eye?
‘Mitra… he’s totally crazy.’
When Seong Ji-han looks at the light as if it is absurd.
Jeeeeee…
Purple fog began to appear in the light of Mithra.
Then.
There, the pure white light is obscured.
“uh…?”
A purple helmet appeared.
* * *
‘That helmet… is the black manager, right?’
A black manager who is said to be the strongest man in the universe.
When he revealed his identity, there was only a helmet floating around, so it was a bit steamy.
There.
‘Didn’t he definitely call himself Ark’s data management AI…?’
Of course, I didn’t believe everything he said.
I never thought that that helmet would come from Mithra.
When Seong Ji-han’s eyes were focused on the purple helmet.
[This is what evil deeds do.]
Flash…!
The eye light flashed from the purple helmet.
“under. Don’t be damned…! Mitra, it’s you who does it after all!”
Although Uld screamed in a panic.
The helmet continued with its work, ignoring her cries.
[Share your feelings. So continue to bear the death of a thousand people. That will expand your power.]
“You crazy… bastard…”
Uld looked at the helmet with weak eyes.
Mitra proceeded with the work quickly.
Jiiiing….
Light spread from Uld’s body.
Rays of light are connected one by one to the 1,000 selves reproduced on the floor.
“Ah…”
The face of Uld, who shared the feeling with 1,000 people, was tinged with despair.
[Let’s begin.]
Puff poop!
Another 1,000 bodies explode from below.
Uld is different from before.
“…!”
Receive all those ‘feelings’.
I couldn’t even moan and my body was just shaking.
And on the floor.
Unlike the previous situation where only an eyeball remained, several body fragments remained.
Let’s see that.
Jeeeeee….
Mithra’s helmet disappearing.
The light appears again.
[Efficiency has improved.]
I was satisfied with the results.
And then the body fragments floating around.
When these fragments were about to be ‘implanted’ again into Uld’s body.
Tick. Tick…
the hands of the clock go back.
The world returned to its original scenery.
‘…is it starting here again?’
This is why it is called a prison of time.
When a scene appears where Seong Ji-han’s eyes are ‘transplanted’ again by Uld.
I remembered what she said earlier.
-Is this the past that causes you the most pain?
I felt bad at that time.
Now I understand why I reacted that way.
Seong Ji-han briefly watched Mitra’s work being played from the beginning.
‘…But why did Uld cooperate without even thinking about it even after seeing that helmet?’
I remember Uld giving orders to the black manager. I had that question.
I think if it were me, I would get nervous just looking at that helmet.
‘Has the memory been erased?’
Should I ask myself?
Seong Ji-han thought about that and took Uld out of the prison of time.
OK.
“….”
Uld was standing there with blank eyes.
Sigh.
I raised my head toward the sacred site.
“You released me earlier than I thought?”
“I wanted to ask you something. Do you feel like answering now?”
“…I will answer everything to the best of my knowledge. “Can you please just kill me instead of locking me up there?”
“That’s right.”
Uld laughed helplessly at Seong Ji-han’s immediate answer.
“great. “What are you curious about?”
“Is the manager in black Mithra?”
“…? “What does that mean?”
“You said you couldn’t do evil as Mithra, so you wore a purple helmet.”
“yes?”
Uld doesn’t understand the English meaning of Seong Ji-han’s words.
‘Did you not see it with your own eyes?’
Seong Ji-han brought up a screen and showed Mitra wearing a black administrator’s helmet.
OK.
“uh…? uh…?”
Uld blinked several times.
“Could you please show me one more time?”
I looked back at that image several times.
“The black manager… father? no. That can’t be possible… I didn’t feel anything like that at all…?”
“Anyway, it looked like that to me. “How did it look to you?”
“…To me, it just seemed like a void blooming.”
Could it be that Mithra’s changed appearance only appeared as a void instead of a ‘helmet’?
“…Will the Great Father play with me until the end?”
“I guess so.”
“….”
Uld was staring at the floor in silence for a while.
and then.
“you. “You were curious about what I ultimately planned to do in Ark, right?”
“I remember it well.”
“Ark is a place where quarantined people are housed. This is where the power the Overmind seeks is stored. “I tried to absorb all of that power and become independent within the Transcendental Body.”
“Is it self-reliance?”
“yes. By becoming an essential being to the Overmind, I tried to gain recognition for my independence. “I saw the possibility through time reversal.”
Flashing…!
At the same time, Uld launched a clock of light.
“see.”
Then she put her hand on the watch.
A clock of light whose surface becomes transparent and the structure inside is revealed.
There were small clocks scattered here and there.
‘Is this her own way of fighting against the Transcendental Body?…’
For Seong Ji-han, who has learned a bit about time retrograde.
As soon as I saw it at a glance, I could see how that structure was established.
If you go to Ark now and apply this system.
It will become several times more effective in suppressing the light of the Overmind.
As he figured out the structure of the clock.
“Based on this structure, I was confident that if I activated the time reversal to the extreme… even if I entered the transcendental body, it would never be broken through. And if you are who you are now, you can do it.”
“Thank you for the teachings.”
“But… this was a method that would ultimately fail.”
“Failure… why?”
Sigh.
Uld removed the watch and looked at Seong Ji-han with sunken eyes.
“To what extent have you absorbed the power of those in quarantine?”
“That’s right.”
“Then you have achieved at least half of what I am striving for.”
That’s it, right?
Although it has not absorbed the power of all the quarantined people.
Because the power of light that has now been expanded is countless.
Seong Ji-han nodded and Uld continued speaking.
“But do you know what you look like to me?”
“Are you really going to call me my father again?”
“yes. “This time, it’s not suspicion, it’s confidence.”
Uld nodded his head helplessly at Seong Ji-han’s words.
“The way you look now…is very similar to your father ‘Mithra’.”
