< Episode 400. Identity of the system >
The entire underground city shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and people’s screams rang out.
Kugugoogung!
Right!
-Grrr!
At the same time, a loud noise struck my ears. I looked down at my arms blankly and then examined my body. I felt like my head was broken.
“iced coffee.”
I raised my voice and watched the battle unfold before my eyes. Oh, I can move, right?
I tried moving my body. However, the aftereffects were severe and the body movements were awkward, like that of a newborn child.
“Ahhh.”
Did you come back?
Is this reality or fantasy?
No, there was something to check before that.
“Original sin.”
An awkward voice called out something.
“Nebro.”
I quickly corrected myself and called again, and something inside me slightly raised its head.
[“Did you see everything?”]
“okay.”
Samael’s appearance, and everything that happens after that.
These were memories that were so terrible that I never wanted to recall them again. But for me, it was something I experienced just a little while ago.
[“Is Ilias still repeating regression?”]
I couldn’t answer Nebro’s question.
Perhaps seeing me here like this makes her…
[“Hehe, I know. “Even now, I can’t die, so I’m probably coming back to life again and again.”]
“······.”
f*ck.
I had nothing to say.
After Samael appeared, Ilias died. I couldn’t do anything but watch.
The contract made with Laplace’s devil came later. However, perhaps due to a twist in the timeline, the contract had already been concluded.
[“In the end, it wasn’t a happy ending for everyone. Because you too ended up making a contract with Laplace’s demon. “I’m guessing how bullshit that is.”]
“Nebro.”
[“······I blame you, but I don’t blame you either. “Because I know that your acceptance of that contract was born out of feelings of regret and repentance.”]
I felt even more keenly the emotions Nebro said as if he understood.
[“The contract made with Laplace’s devil is not an ordinary one. “Do you have any idea how reckless your contract was?”
“okay. “I know everything now.”
The identity of the system was Laplace’s demon.
I was able to survive in this world thanks to the system, but paradoxically, if it weren’t for the system, I wouldn’t have come to this world.
Laplace’s devil was a transcendent, but unlike ordinary transcendents, he was a conceptual transcendent. Therefore, the name ‘transcendent concept’ may be more appropriate than the word transcendent.
‘It’s so complicated that I don’t know where to start.’
Through this past experience, I had a vague idea of my identity.
Before I was Jinhwan Kim, I was a transcendent person. No, to be honest, it was meaningless, like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Kim Jin-hwan could have been first, I, the transcendental person, could have been first, or maybe I, Adrias, could have been first.
‘The contents of Laplace’s contract with the devil are to lose all memories and repeat reincarnation. The goal is to collect sins.’
It was a slightly different form from the return of Iliad.
And I have repeated my life so many times that I don’t even know how many reincarnations I have had. Since you lost your memory, you must have lived without knowing if you had a goal.
It is this life that has become unique.
He came to live as Adrias without losing Kim Jin-hwan’s memories. It’s probably because of original sin, or rather, the power of Nebro.
Nebro, who lost Ilias, is a monster who ultimately destroyed Shaiya and even destroyed the law of causality.
[“I helped you just like you did before. In the end, this goal of collecting sins is reaching its end.”]
“okay.”
[“curious. What will life be like after achieving the goal?”]
Nebro smiled bitterly.
It was the lonely self-deprecation of someone who had nothing left.
[“Because, unlike me, you protected everyone. We can live happily, right?”]
“Nebro.”
However, there was one thing that even Nebro did not know. That is the reward for achieving the goal.
Unlike Ilias, I had the added limitation of losing my memory, so I decided to get additional compensation from the contract I made with Laplace’s demon.
‘I can’t say, but…’
I couldn’t tell Nebro the details because it was a violation of the contract, but because of that, I had to achieve my goal even more.
It was necessary to prove that everything Nebro had done was not in vain.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
“You were fighting gluttony.”
The various figures seen in the distance felt as if they were lies. In particular, Luna was confusing because she seemed to overlap with Ilias.
[“It’s not an illusion or a lie.”]
“Nebro.”
[“It’s reality.”]
Nebro spoke strongly to me.

[“Come to your senses, Adrias.”]
That’s right, I was Adrias.
I quietly regained my composure as the underground city shook as if it was about to collapse. Worry and confusion were not the emotions I needed right now.
“Start by binge eating.”
A magic circle was created around me.
Going beyond triple casting, which was previously undreamed of, to quadruple casting.
‘It wasn’t a dream.’
The experience I had with Nebro in itself made me stronger. As time passed, it seemed like I would be able to cast beyond quadruple, penta, or even better.
Coo coo coo coo!
Has Nebro always felt like this?
When I tried using magic in this way, I felt dizzy due to the rapid consumption of mana.
“What is this!”
I could see my godfather being surprised. It’s been a while, but you’re still correcting it.
The whole city began to shake. The four magic circles created through quadruple casting were organically connected to each other and transformed into one huge magic.
Spear of the evil spirit.
Pow! bang!
A huge dark light pierced through Gluttony. The light was not just one, but came from all directions like a spear.
Bub bub bub!
Soon, the black light split into four directions and tore Glutton’s body apart.
“Ludo, eat it up.”
Even though I couldn’t hear my voice, Ludo understood my intention and began to devour the gluttonous meat, with flesh being torn in all directions.
Gluttony has excellent regenerative abilities. However, the weakness of that regenerative power was, ironically, the same act as its namesake.
Gluttony could not regenerate the parts eaten by someone.
-Grrr!
-That’s it!
Soon, other undead scattered in all directions and began to pick up Glutton’s flesh and eat it. Amidst a scene that seemed like something out of a horror movie, Luna came running.
“friend!”
The sight of her gave me a headache. I felt Nevro hurriedly turn off her consciousness, and soon Luna came to me.
“amazing!”
“Luna.”
A long time.
This is really reality, right?
“friend?”
Luna tilted her head and reached out her hand to me. Before I knew it, tears were soaked as she touched her face.
“why are you crying?”
“Luna, can I hug you just once?”
“then!”
Luna smiled brightly and hugged me. As she felt Luna’s warm body heat against hers, she was finally able to feel a little more real.
“It’s a selfish thing to say, but…”
“huh?”
“We will definitely protect you all.”
It would be a lie if I said it didn’t make me feel guilty. If you were to ask me if it was actually my fault, I could answer no.
But feeling guilty and kneeling down were two different things. I will rise again and do my best for who I am now.
“This is my commitment.”
“What are you talking about, friend! “Has your head turned?”
I stroked Luna’s head for a moment as she asked brightly. Yes, she is definitely back.
“You have plenty of space.”
Before I knew it, Mak Si-min was standing next to me. He looked at me and Luna with a pitiful look, then glanced at the half-collapsed glutton.
“Did you do it?”
“yes.”
Mak Si-min just watched Gluttony dying in silence. He probably had a lot of things he wanted to ask of me, who had suddenly become stronger, but he didn’t seem to bother to ask.
“Wow, the monster is dying!”
“I survived! “He lived!”
“Support the city! Stop it from collapsing!”
My magic played a big role, but in the end, it was my companions and the undead that ended the gluttony.
It is said that I have more mana than an average wizard, but unlike Nebro, it is limited, so my mana runs out just by using the evil god’s spear and the undead.
-Hahaha! die! die!
He excitedly gathered Harungel, who was wielding the Staff of Lust, and soon cleared out the remaining remnants.
“······I really don’t know.”
What was your name? The leader of the scene, whose name is now obscure, the Seojok beastman, walked with his entire body covered in the bodily fluids of gluttony.
“Are you human?”
“I guess there are other things to do right now than wondering about such things.”
“Are you saying that something like this is nothing to you? “I envy that leisure.”
Srendal said so and remained in his position. Looks like you have some other business.
“This is news from the emperor.”
“This quickly?”
Have I lost my concept of time? I couldn’t remember much because I had been there in the past through Nebro.
“We didn’t know we would find it so quickly. No. To be precise, the emperor’s side has found out what happened here and is approaching.”
“That’s it.”
You felt the energy of gluttony. Even though he went to find Nebro’s body, he probably didn’t completely give up his sins.
‘Now that I think about it, Nebro’s body is…’
Nebro turned Shaiya into a desert and even broke the law of causality, ending the era of the gods. However, he was not fine either, and a transcendental person who appeared late sealed Nebro.
‘Christ.’
He was a transcendent person I never imagined I would meet. Shakyamuni seemed to be more of an ordinary old man than expected, but Christ could not understand his true feelings.
He also mediated the contract between Laplace’s demon and me. I don’t know what the intention or reason was.
Cry-
While I was lost in thought for a moment, beastmen suddenly surrounded me. I thought they were going to attack me, but I didn’t feel any threat so I just watched.
“Okay, thank you.”
At that time, a beast with the appearance of a small squirrel suddenly lowered its head. Immediately afterwards, everyone surrounding them began to express their gratitude.
“I’m human, but I’m grateful.”
“Thank you!”
I was just acting for my own purposes, but it seemed like I was misunderstood. They’re famous for hating humans, so that’s a big deal.
“Did you order it, Threndal?”
“okay.”
It felt strange somehow. Srendal calmly admitting this felt rather surprising.
“But I’m serious. “If it weren’t for you, everyone would probably have died.”
“Isn’t it because of us that the hardliners did this in the first place?”
“Are you saying that the cause lies with you? “You are too humble.”
Threndal soon turned around and gestured to several prisoners. He then looked at the state of the city and said:
“As you can see, there is no way to help in the fight against the emperor. “What’s more important to me are these guys than the purpose of the scene.”
“It’s a smart idea and a sound idea.”
“Does it feel like a contradiction? haha. As you can see, even within a group, each person’s thoughts are different. In particular, our group’s tendencies are a bit biased because many of them have been victims of humans.”
With those words, Srendal left for post-war processing. The emperor is coming, so I just checked…
“Luna?”
“huh?”
Luna, who was playing with the squirrel beastman’s cheek, turned her head.
“What about the five senses?”
“They said they were ready!”
I said I was going to prepare for a ancestral rite, but I forgot that too. Luna’s appearance was so natural.
“Luna, I’m sorry about your five senses, but it’s no longer needed.”
“huh! okay!”
I found out what Galakshur was.
An object that has been searching for all the gods for thousands of years and contains their energy,
It is presumed that Ogwan was a shaman long before Ilias. She probably became the High King of Hell without ever seeing Galak’shur completed.
‘Galakshur is dangerous.’
I didn’t think it was necessary.
With my current strength, being an emperor is no problem.
······The variable is Nebro’s body.
“Wow! “I want to explode too!”
Seeing Luna losing interest in the squirrel beast and going to kill Gluttony’s cub, I quickly followed along.
It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to leave Luna alone for a while.
