Chapter 270
Episode 270: Interruption of consciousness
[The Great Source] has two incarnations: [The Source of Pollution] and [The Source of Life].
The [Source of Pollution], which is nothing more than an incarnation, has descended, and in two hours the world will be destroyed?
“You’re laughing.”
For a moment, I smiled, revealing the teeth hidden beneath the mask. I didn’t laugh because I felt particularly happy.
I’ve seen the [Source of Pollution] descend several times in games, but it’s never unfolded like this.
This is a scam.
Deception in the same way as the other options given to me.
[The source of pollution] is just the beginning. The real destruction is-
“The main body [Great Source] is sleeping in the basement of Sokcho, so there is no reason to end with the descent of the incarnation alone.”
The real destruction will be brought about by the [Great Source] sleeping beyond the door that Seonghwan Kim is currently opening.
[The defense conditions for ‘Destruction Trigger: Soul Pollution’ that you have found out so far are as follows.
Defense Condition 1: Unknown
Defense Condition 2: Unknown
Defense Condition 3: Unknown
!Time limit: In 30 minutes, this world will be destroyed!
Collect clues to decipher defense conditions and prevent the coming destruction!]
Message displayed in front of you.
That is what the time limit and defense conditions mean.
“30 minutes left? “It’s very exciting.”
Stop [The Great Source] within 30 minutes.
Although the incident where [The Predator in the Mountains] attacked was intense, I honestly didn’t think anything of it because it wasn’t on a scale that I could handle.
But this time is different.
“Do you think you can do it easily?”
no. Shinhwa Kim, come to your senses.
That’s just an estimate, right?
Besides, this is unreasonable. It’s a ridiculous plan. There are too many things left to gambling. I’m running out of time. It’s impossible. This is crazy.
Even if you can stop it within 30 minutes, there are still two defense conditions left!
Voices murmuring in my head.
Normally, everyone would have expressed more different opinions, but this time, everyone is united and speaking with one voice.
“Kim Shin-hwa, you may be delusional.”
“Pupu- that is now a banned word.”
It’s making noises like pupu. This kid is really out of his mind.
Complaints pouring out of my head.
But no.
Once you start doubting your perceptions and thoughts, there is no end to it.
It’s better to think that I was just late – made a bad choice – and forgot something.
Auditory hallucinations, hallucinations, delusions, and uncertain perception of reality – if you continue these, you will reach a more fundamental point.
‘Maybe I’m not trapped in [Cthulhu World].’
Could it be that he’s sitting in front of his computer in a delirious state, mistaking the game for reality? Maybe this game doesn’t exist in the first place?
A game that no one plays because of bugs, improbable plot development, and merciless difficulty? There are streamers who deliberately only choose network games to play. At the very least, it could have become a meme.
But how can it be possible to not receive this much attention?
Paranoia that came with magicophobia… … .
It tempts my intelligence stat to create unpleasant hallucinations in my head.
Oh, damn it. Don’t think any more.
That’s prohibited. prohibition.
“damn. calm down. calm down. calm down. calm down. No, think about it. There is no way such an absurd world exists. Shut up. To be honest, this isn’t the first time this thought has occurred to you, right? I told you to shut up. Now that I think about it, who are you? “Can’t you go down there?”
Grinding- Gripping- Gripping-
Ominous sparks fly from all directions.
No, is there any way I can calm down?
Geez ugh geuk pole-
Seonghwan Kim is opening the last door in the basement of this ruins.
A magic circle with splendidly emitted light and ominous magical power.
I get goosebumps just looking at it.
That evil, magical, magical sight stimulates my madness. Yes, that’s the power that Seonghwan Kim is moving… … .
[You have entered the deepest part of an old, old ruin that has been lying dormant underground for a time that no human mind can even fathom.]
A message window suddenly pops out and blocks the view.
[You broke through the complex mazes and traps hidden under the Ulsan Rock of Mt. Seorak, defeated the downtrodden tribes that blocked your path, and defeated the surreal monster that was coming to devour you.]
“What is he saying now? Who broke through, defeated, or defeated?”
I skipped the maze by smashing it to the floor, skipped the battle with other races by roughly pushing it away, and the Shogus I was pursuing caused a [repeated action bug] up there, preventing me from moving.
Gugugugugugugung-
Beyond that wall, the presence of Shogus is detected, repeatedly rising and falling, ignoring the laws of physics.
A crappy world created based on a crappy game.
If an object of a certain volume and weight is falling from a certain height or higher and is ‘raised’ by applying a precise impact, such a bug occurs.
It is not a trick that can be done anywhere, at any time. In this underground place, the magic power of a surreal being writhing to descend is exuding a strong will to head to the surface.

The piece of stone kicked by my foot spun around randomly and flew up into the sky.
[And by combining old documents and sparse clues, you were able to open the sealed door beneath these ruins.]
“That guy is opening it too.”
The moment I was about to point to Seonghwan Kim, a new message window covered my eyes again.
[The descent of the ‘Great Source’ will soon begin. Are you fully prepared? Once you go through the door, various events will take place in succession.
“When did you ask me this and suddenly it’s a selective lipid?”
Are you kidding me? Now Kim Seong-Hwan – that cult member-
Rumbling!!!
Whiiiiiiiing-
Heavy vibration sound and dry wind.
“It’s open.”
The door opened.
“I did it… … . I did it… … . Now our God comes… … .”
Seonghwan Kim with an exhausted expression. It must have been a difficult task to do at his level, but he did it well.
“Thank you for your hard work. mister. But actually, your friends are probably already doing that down there.”
“do… … . There is… … . what are you talking about?”
“It means you can sleep now.”
I pointed the unloaded [toy gun] at him and fired. Although there were no bullets, the refined magicite inside created sparks at a short range – and it was amazing!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Seonghwan Kim falls to the floor. Thank you for your hard work. For a man with a big belly, this is truly an incredible feat.
I said as I walked to the door that Seonghwan Kim opened.
“Anyway, thinking about it later, I should be able to open it without that guy.”
I was so focused on the message window that I couldn’t check exactly how Seonghwan Kim opened the door.
No, you could have just pushed out the message window itself, but why didn’t you do that? Something is strange.
It is awkward.
I’ve been feeling this way since yesterday, that is, ever since I developed [magicphobia]. I thought I had definitely made the best choice, but something kept going wrong.
Choices that don’t make sense, improbable developments, and a perception of reality that continues to deviate.
Yes, it is the discomfort I feel when madness limits my vision and thinking. The perspective is like looking at a photo that is out of focus. I’m anxious. I’m anxious. What am I missing? What else did I forget?
What’s the problem? Where should I start making adjustments?
When should we go back?
* * *
It’s so deep underground that you don’t know how far you’ve already been.
Beyond the door that Kim Seong-hwan opened, there was a truly gigantic underground cavity that seemed to say that the deep underground ruins I had been wandering through until now were nothing – bizarre, bizarre, strange.
Whioooooooo-
A threatening gust of wind that blows even though it is underground.
It’s so wide and so deep.
A long, long staircase extending downwards.
“Achilles.”
Let’s go together-
As Achilles twists his body, the fireballs belonging to the [Living Flame] spread out in all directions, emitting a unique roar.
Grumbling-
Thanks to the light they emit, the structure of this large underground cavity can now be seen more clearly.
[System: The ‘Feast Offering’ attribute is activated.]
It was a huge city created a long time ago.
Buildings made of smooth megaliths and tall obelisks erected next to the buildings.
Characters of a strange and heterogeneous style that cannot match any civilization or culture created by mankind.
It is a wonderful city with enormous secrets and an uncountable amount of time.
Absurd height. No, it’s ridiculously deep.
All I can see is the heads of the buildings. It is impossible to determine how deep underground the structure extends.
It’s a ridiculous idea, but judging by the visual information provided, it’s almost as if these underground structures extend from the Earth’s inner core.
“Are these relics touched by the hands of an ancient species?”
One of the personalities in my head borrows my words to marvel.
“okay.”
I’ve felt it since last time, these guys are my different personalities, right? But why are the memories and information I have different from mine?
“Can you break through in 30 minutes?”
“That’s all you have to worry about in this place anyway.”
At the bottom of the long stairs, I see a light that I did not create.
A structure that can be said to be [the rooftop of a certain building]. It is the tallest building in this long-abandoned rock city.
But it’s still too far.
Only after expanding my perception as much as possible was I able to see the place more clearly.
“This is how Bongamdang comes to mind.”
To be precise, the opposite is true.
In Bongamdang, headless corpses were arranged in a magical way.
There were dozens, if not hundreds, of disembodied heads piled up there.
The sensing ability enhanced through magical power transmitted not only visual information, but also olfactory and – although I don’t like it – tactile information.
Cold, squishy, hard, mushy-
The terrible smell of blood, rotting corpses.
The sight, touch, and smell were so disgusting and profane that they not only caused nausea but also caused terrible wounds to the human mind and soul.
What did they experience before they died?
They all had their eyes wide open with expressions horribly contorted in fear and pain – each of them holding their own hearts in their forcibly opened mouths.
And just one person.
“That bastard.”
A man wearing a fancy robe is holding a strange sword with seven prongs and acting strangely.
The right hand that is not holding the sword is… … .
It’s holding the head of a ‘living sacrifice’. The work isn’t finished yet. You said there were 30 minutes left, right? No, there are about 25 minutes left now?
Damn it – but it’s too far.
“Hey, hey!”
Although I had to see some unpleasant tails, this proved that my prediction was correct. I’m not crazy yet.
That is a ritual for the descent of the [Great Source].
The man in the robe who was performing the ritual paused for a moment and looked in my direction.
A face with an extremely creepy smile. As the blurry memories came together, I remembered who he was.
“You are Director Gyeongnam Moon. Turn around, let’s go. “That bastard is a black man.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp
Doldori started running with the momentum to destroy the stairs.
Kugwagwagwagwagwang!!
Aaaah – it’s so shaky!
“Can’t you stop doing that right now!?”
Although we were still so far away that conversation was impossible, Moon Gyeong-nam pointed his sword at me and spoke.
『You are the solution that this illegitimate bitch called.』
A voice transmitted through magical power, not air.
Well, I can’t do that right now. I spoke softly not to convey my intention, but to understand the scope of the other person’s abilities.
“that’s right. And my hobby is interfering with other people’s work.”
『Hahaha – very interesting. But it was already too late. This is a very old plan. I deceived everyone and have been preparing this plan for a very long time. And Seunghee Moon, this illegitimate bitch makes me-』
After listening to him once, Moon Gyeong-nam suddenly starts talking about detailed past events.
Yes, you probably have your own stories and ambitions.
“Noisy! There’s no time, so don’t give unnecessary explanations! “I already know that you are unrecyclable trash!”
Skip the event scene! Skip! There’s less than 30 minutes left in real time. What video are you watching? The battle begins right away!
Whirly rilyri-
I threw out a few magicite bombs, assessing the resources I had consumed to get this far. There’s not much left, but there’s nothing we can do.
『This lowly outlaw-』
However, he raises his seven-pronged sword and chants a spell. Complex hand gestures and flow of magical power. A magic circle formed around Moon Gyeong-nam’s body.
“okay. “It was a setting like that!”
That’s one of the reasons why I kept making strange choices, making poor judgments, and acting foolishly.
Like the [Sangbulsa] made up of martial artists or the [Blood Demon Cult] made up of feng shui masters, each cult has members with somewhat similar occupations.
Via the sword in his left hand – Moon Gyeong-nam’s magical power that constitutes an unpleasant and evil force that shakes the structure of reality.
[Old Voices] is a cult made up of wizards who discovered magic after being immersed in Western mysticism.
Giiiiiiing-
『Did you say you don’t have time?』
Moon Gyeong-nam’s grumpy voice.
The power that bloomed at the tip of his sword-
That’s- I mean-
[Time Stop]
“Oh, my
* * *
road.”
[Fireball] [Gust of Wind] [Blast]
The hand of death approaches simultaneously.
Really – did time stop? Looks like it wasn’t as long as I thought, right? Wait, I don’t have ‘time’ to think about this!
Grumbling-
Strong winds and waves of flames coming before your eyes.
There aren’t even any rocks under your feet. No, I’m falling down a very high flight of stairs.
[The ‘magic’ used by the cult stimulates the madness in your mind.]
fantasy,
