The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 233

“Is this… the place where the original phase is sealed?”

Alec looked around the cave curiously.

“There is no need to be so surprised. “There’s also an aspect trapped under the Goblin Fortress.”

“…what?”

“By the way, from now on, no matter what happens, never leave the realm of the seven snakes. “Because it is full of miasma of spiritual power that cannot be compared to the fortress of Wu.”

Namgung spoke to the people, leaving behind Alec, who was confused.

“Revelators, please maximize your power and use it as much as possible. “It may not be comparable to its status, but it will still be able to defend itself to some extent.”

Unlike the last time, people looked around with tense expressions as Namgung asked for the power of the revelers.

“When I came before, there were no monsters. “Unless the Aspects take special action, there will be no other dangers along the way.”

“But why did you gather so many people?”

“The problem is Woo itself. “There is no need to worry about the little details when the biggest problem is there.”

“Hmm… Honestly, if you are an opponent who is struggling, I wonder if we will be of any help.”

Roxanne said in a trembling voice.

As someone with abilities in the natural world, she clearly felt the intimidation of the cave more than other people.

“Dealing with someone else’s status doesn’t mean pushing them down with force. Fight against God and win? “It’s a fight between David and Goliath.”

“But that’s what you’re going to do.”

“Because the winner was David.”

Namgung looked at her and smiled strangely.

[But the reason David was able to win was because of God’s grace.]

That was then.

At the sound of a voice echoing in the cave, everyone took out their weapons and looked in all directions.

[There is no need to be scared. Leoric It’s been a while since we met.]

[There’s another happy face. Can you see it? He tamed Paragon.]

[Indeed, … who can have my chain.

]

At that moment, the darkness cleared and the figure of Wu, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, appeared.

“Don’t look him in the eye. “I’m fascinated.”

The place where the eye should be was empty, as if it had been cut out, and the pitch-black hole looked like it could be sucked in at any moment.

[Don’t worry. Because I only pay attention to people who show interest in me. Even young children like fun toys and do not even pay attention to boring toys.]

“Boring toys? “It’s an annoying thing to just ignore.”

[Really?]

It was then.

Michael’s head disappeared.

“…!!!”

The decapitated body struggled and fumbled with its severed neck with both arms. Although I couldn’t see his expression, I could keenly sense his embarrassment from his flustered body.

[What a noisy guy. I didn’t kill you, so just keep quiet. Otherwise, I won’t put your head back on.]

At Wu’s words, Michael’s body collapsed in the corner.

“I know it’s sealed, but can I use my power?”

[It’s ridiculous to call something like this power. At best, it’s just a childish prank.]

But his voice somehow seemed a little excited.

[Look at my mind. It’s been so long since I’ve had a guest visit, so I neglected to treat them.]

Snap –

He snapped his finger wrapped in an old bandage, and a small teacup appeared in front of them.

[It is called Wiyongsu (偉容水). If you drink it, it will strengthen the power granted by the phases. Those who are not Revelators will improve their talents.]

The group looked at the old teacup in front of them and then turned their heads to Namgung with an embarrassed expression.

“It’s a lot different than before. “I see that you know how to treat guests well.”

Unlike other people who were worried, Namgung drank the tea he gave him in one go.

I could tell that it was not a lie from the energy that was gently emanating from within the body.

“You can drink it. Because the status of the beginning would not take our lives over something as trivial as this.”

Hearing his words, people each picked up a cup of tea and poured it into their mouths.

[Oh, I forgot to tell you. If you want to make the power within it your own, you will have to control it from now on.]

Namgung chuckled at his words.

In the end, it was just a bait to create time to have a conversation with myself.

“Everyone, please sit cross-legged and conserve your strength.”

“But…”

“If you’re worried, finish it quickly.”

Alec glanced at Wu, then walked over to the wall and sat down. With only Michael’s headless body remaining, Namgung raised his head.

“Don’t you?”

“Because I didn’t drink it.”

“The power of rain can bring about change. “The black root will be able to remove the eroded poisons from the body.”

“Don’t worry. Because I have lived enough. The present is more important to me than the future I will live in. “I don’t believe in phases.”

Chiik-

Nam Ki-cheol took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and put it in his mouth as he spoke.

“But the oldest phase? There wouldn’t be a snake like that. “How can I take care of my substance with peace of mind?”

[Clark… That’s the attitude of a black route master. Do whatever you want. Unlike the other guys, he knows the inner workings of the carnival, so it doesn’t matter if he stays

the same.] “Why have you become so generous? “When you first met me, you were anxious to take advantage of me.”

[Because you have done well enough. I messed up the carnival more than I wanted.]

“I don’t think that’s the end.”

Wu lifted the bandage covering his face.

[And because he came to see me again.]

“….”

[You know that everything comes with a price, right?]

I knew what he wanted without having to say it.

“I cannot let you go.”

[Then you won’t get what you want either.]

Wu shrugged and shook his head as if there was nothing he could do.

“Everything comes with a price, but paying a price means getting something worth it.”

[Cluck… What you’re saying is that I should show sincerity first.]

“I know it well.”

[It is actually not that difficult to create a new substitute clan. But it is impossible to make you the head of the proxy clan.]

“Why?”

[Because you won’t be able to handle my power. Do you know how the Daeja clan was born?]

Namgung looked at him.

[For something to be born, death is necessary. And I bring about change in that death. That is why the beginning can exist.]

“Could it be…?”

Nam Ki-cheol seemed to understand what he meant and asked back with a stern expression.

“Does this mean that the clans must disappear in order for the surrogate clan to be born?”

[right. Only the leader and a certain number of people chosen by the leader can avoid extinction within the ark. And those who survive will live as a substitute clan.]

“The destruction of humanity…!! “Such nonsense… That’s no different from failing the carnival!”

[Destruction and survival are clearly different. Those on the ark will continue the human race and not only do not have to be killed by the carnival.]

“But you created an octagonal war and made the proxy clans fight each other again? “No matter what happens, I only intend to harass all living beings in the end.”

[I’m just giving you a chance. What is the reason for the statuses of the past to remain in reality? It means that you humans have participated in the carnival before and survived. Because of that, we have made endless progress.]

Woo said while looking at Somin among the sitting group.

[You know it too. Who can take my power?]

Kwaak-

Namgung unknowingly strengthened his fist.

[There is one way to create a clan of agents without sacrificing humanity.]

“What is that?”

[That child will become my revealer. The surrogate clan is an inevitable entity with the revealer. If a new revealer is born, the substitute clan will also have to be added.]

He turned his head to Namgung again.

[It is possible without any other sacrifice as it is according to the rules of the carnival.]

“You are so good at talking nonsense. No sacrifices? “Who are you saying that you will make your revelation and that there is no sacrifice?”

Nam Ki-cheol lashed out at Woo.

[You who have the power of the Black Root. I know your relationship, so I can understand your anger, but this is the only time I’ll let you go.] At that moment

, Nam

Ki-cheol’s wrist was bent.

Padduk….

He clenched his teeth instead of screaming as if he couldn’t lose.

[There is no need to pretend to be surprised. It was expected that your daughter would be the key to this matter, right? And you probably noticed it. Why wasn’t Origin’s weapon found in the place I called my fortress?]

Namgung showed the ring he was wearing on his finger.

“The fortress itself was a lie.”

[that’s right. I also don’t think you will break the seal. That’s why I made you bring me what I wanted.]

Wu said, pointing to his ring.

[All I want is for the ring to be returned to me, not for the seal to be lifted. Then I will accept your daughter as my revealer and create a new clan of agents.]

“…You’re not going to accept that crazy talk, are you? Are you trying to make Somin a revelation now?”

[Why do you doubt me? Leoric and Paragon, who are with you, were also my revealers. They fought with me to destroy the Carnival and drive out the Aspect. If I had to choose among the statuses, there would be no one who stands on the side of humanity as much as me.]

Namgung, who had been lost in thought, raised his head and looked at him.

[Not only that, if that child becomes my revealer, I will be able to open the real fortress. There are not only Origin’s weapons, but also invaluable Noble Phantasms.]

“I’m so funny, huh? Why are you leaving me alone to decide whether you two should do it or not?”

It was then.

Among those who were sitting cross-legged, Somin was the first to stand up and walk toward Namgung.

“Like Major Nam said, it was useless. “You don’t have to worry about it.”

“know. “It’s because my grandfather is worried about me.”

“…what?”

“Have you forgotten who is inside me? Mom told me. “I’m a little surprised, but I like it.”

“Keukeuhm….”

Nam Ki-cheol cleared his throat as if embarrassed by Somin’s words.

“I enjoyed the tea. “It doesn’t taste good.”

She put down the teacup in front of Wu.

[What a bold kid. Do you like it. Yes, you are right. It is not right for third parties to argue about the parties involved.]

Woo said to Somin.

[Okay, what do you think? Do you want to become my revealer?]

At that moment, Somin crossed her arms and looked at him.

“It depends on what you do.”

[…What?]

“Creating a new substitute clan is what my father wants, not what I want.”

[Khahaha!]

Woo laughed out loud at her answer.

[The more I look at it, the more I like it. Okay, what do you want?]

“Now wait a minute! Somin. “What are you saying without permission?”

“I took permission.”

Namgung asked back with a puzzled expression at his daughter’s unexpected answer.

“…To whom?”

“To Mom.”

Somin smiled and said to him.

“Are you scared of mom and dad? “Are you afraid of God?”
