Chapter 190 : Chapter 190
Even though it was incomplete, what was before my eyes right now was clearly a door connecting Earth and the Lagna Continent.What on earth does it mean that this door appeared in front of me now?
‘Look at this…….’
This door isn't completely open, nor is it completely closed.
That ambiguity must be exactly what created the result of a one-way path from Earth to the Lagna Continent.
If so, what would happen if I completely opened or closed this door?
‘But…… Can I even move this door?’
Previously, when I asked Great Sage Akiro about the Ascension Stone Fragment, Great Sage Akiro briefly summarized it referring to the Ascension Stone Fragment.
「“Key. That is all I can say about the Ascension Stone right now.”」
「“Postponer of Ruin, who performed the great miracle of postponing the unstoppable ruin, you must look squarely.”」
「“The sky is opening.”」
「“When that time comes, you too will have to face an unavoidable choice.”」
「“What you can do in front of the Great Heaven.”」
The Ascension Stone Fragment is a key.
Great Sage Akiro didn't say exactly what it was a key to open and close, but what was clear was the fact that there was a door in front of my eyes now.
「“Bear in mind.”」
「“That a key can open a door…… but conversely, it can also lock it.”」
If the Ascension Stone Fragment is really a key, then just by coming to this spot, it must mean I have some qualification to open and close this door.
[The Great Heaven watches your choice.]
I see a door dyed with light.
Also the scenery of Earth beyond that.
What choice should I make right now?
Indeed, should I open that door?
Or should I close it?
It was an answer I had been putting off until now, but now the moment I had to do it came.
‘The fact that this is the first door means there's a next door too.’
The contemplation wasn't that long.
The door before my eyes right now is merely a half-baked door that calls players from Earth to the Lagna Continent, not a door that allows returning to Earth from the Lagna Continent.
Of course, if I opened the door wide, it might become possible to return to Earth from this side too, but I didn't think so.
That door must be a door that only allows a one-way path.
‘Though it doesn't matter even if it's not.’
The choice was made.
All that remained was to move.
‘I close the door.’
Having made the decision, I grabbed the door made of light.
Tzzt, Tzztzzt!!!
Along with that, a violent storm of Demonic energy rose and caused an intense reaction.
[The Postponer of Ruin's Power blocks mental attack.]
[The Postponer of Ruin's Power suppresses the huge Demonic.]
I can feel it.
Overwhelming Demonic energy that even a powerful Demonic person wouldn't dare to touch.
‘The level of Demonic energy wafting out is beyond the Destruction Dragon's Demonic energy.’
If an ordinary player, not the Postponer of Ruin, were exposed to this Demonic energy, what would have happened?
I didn't know for sure, but the Demonic energy would have completely eroded the player's mind as well as their body.
To the extent that they would become a slave to Demonic energy, no matter how strong a mind and will the player possessed.
‘Come to think of it, everything was explicitly intentional from the beginning.’
The essence of the Ascension Stone Fragment is a key.
However, the Demonic energy lodged in the Ascension Stone Fragment inevitably leads the player to the path of a Demonic person and contaminates the mind.
In short, when a player whose mind is contaminated by Demonic energy stands at this spot, the judgment they make is bound to be a judgment led by Demonic energy.
Practically, it means there is no such thing as free will.
Above all, the Great Heaven I have watched until now steadily wishes for the door to open.
As if there is some purpose.
At this rate, doesn't it seem like the device called the Ascension Stone Fragment itself is part of some huge plan?
‘I'm saying I don't really like it.’
Therefore, I could be certain.
Among the players who reached this spot, only I can make a choice different from them.
Closing the door right now would also be the result of such a choice.
Since I don't like it, I will overturn it.
Just like Cain's way that I have always done until now.
Crackle!!!
A huge repulsion of Demonic energy I hadn't felt until now blocked the door from closing, but the Postponer of Ruin's power surpassed even that.
Power opposing the Demonic.
That power emitted an intense light as if it were a power to oppose a huge secret lodged in this world.
Rumble!!!
Along with a roar as if the world was turning upside down, the door connecting Earth and this world started to close slowly.
“……Hup!”
Starting from the Demonic energy boiling from my whole body, to the strengthened Haima's Curse, the Slaughterer's power, and even the stamina recovery of the Orb of Water.
Adding literally all the power I can, I close the door.
The Demonic energy spewing from the door caused a fierce reaction and seemed to try pushing me away somehow, but the Postponer of Ruin's power absolutely didn't allow that.
Creeeeak───!!!
The door of light closes slowly.
The passage connecting this world and Earth was disappearing.
Now, new players will not appear in this world anymore.
This kind of vicious cycle was something someone had to break, and I just did that.
Rumble!!!
Light scatters in all directions.
I cannot know why that oh-so-great sky connects this world and Earth.
However, there was only one thing I had to say to the sky.
“Eat shit.”
Finally, the door that was connecting the two worlds closed, and light scattered in all directions.
***
The halo of light that filled the surroundings slowly clears.
The door that once connected the two worlds closed completely, and now only darkness and silence remained here.
But even that was for a moment.
Soon after, the darkness that had dyed all directions started to clear slowly, and the original blue sky and the scenery of Earth beyond it started to be revealed.
[The first will of the Great Heaven, the Ascension Gate has been closed.]
[Ascension is suspended.]
[Notices are updated.]
.
[Bulletin Board Level rises.]
[Lv.6 → Lv.7]
[Current Bulletin Board Level is ‘Lv.7’.]
[As the Bulletin Board Level reached ‘Lv.7’, the authority to write highlighted posts within the ‘Anonymous Bulletin Board’ is granted.]
────────────
[Accessible Bulletin Board List]
[Anonymous Bulletin Board] [Lv.1] ★
[Auction House] [Lv.2]
[Guild Bulletin Board] [Lv.3]
[Tips and Know-how] [Lv.4]
[Verification Board] [Lv.5]
[Notices] [Lv.6]
────────────
As the Bulletin Board Level reached Level 7, instead of a new accessible bulletin board appearing, another function appeared.
It was exactly the authority to write highlighted posts within the Anonymous Bulletin Board.
‘Highlighted posts……. I think I know roughly what purpose I should use it for.’
For those whose Bulletin Board Level reached Level 7, a certain duty arises whether they like it or not.
Holding the authority to open and close the door meant exactly that.
Giving even a powerful voice to such people was akin to giving the power to persuade the majority of players.
‘It's still malicious.’
Although I don't know well because I rarely looked at the Anonymous Bulletin Board recently, perhaps the background of Nero, the new guild leader of Gray Clouds, gaining a powerful voice recently is also thanks to this authority.
I didn't know for sure, but it was because Nero also seemed to have reached Level 7 authority.
‘Eventually, has the time come for me to step forward too?’
To be honest, it wasn't really a task I felt inclined to do, but if that was my responsibility, I had no intention of avoiding it.
Although I have turned away until now, eventually, it seemed my responsibility for using the Ascension Stone for the first time wasn't nonexistent in drawing players to this world.
Perhaps, the Postponer of Ruin's power was also given for that.
Changes regarding absorbing the Ascension Stone Fragment continued to occur.
[Understanding of the Demonic rises very significantly.]
[Demonic Energy stat rises. (+3)]
[17 → 20]
[As the Demonic Energy stat reached ‘20’, the grade of ‘Demonic Energy Emission’ trait rises. (+UP)]
[A → S]
.
.
.
[‘Weapon Summon (??)’ trait grows.]
[The trait level of ‘Weapon Summon (??)’ has risen.]
[Lv.6 → Lv.7]
[‘Lv.7’ weapon list is added to the summonable list of ‘Weapon Summon (??)’.]
[The support request available count for ‘Lv.6’ tactical weapon is added to the summonable list of ‘Weapon Summon (??)’.]
[‘Weapon Summon (??)’ trait grows.]
[The special ability of ‘Weapon Summon (??)’ is unlocked.]
[Special ability, ‘Tactical Weapon Registration’ is unlocked.]
Various changes occurred.
What I felt first was, as expected, the wave of intense power due to the rise of the Demonic Energy stat.
In numbers, it was merely an increase of 3, but the World of Justice is a world where the difference of each stat point is very huge.
Soon, the Demonic energy felt on my skin right now also became a level I dared not even compare to before.
‘That's not all.’
Along with the new Lv.7 weapons, a new special ability of Weapon Summon was unlocked.
‘Tactical Weapon Registration……. For some reason, I think I know where to use it.’
Among the special abilities of Weapon Summon I possess now, the Weapon Registration ability already exists.
However, the fact that a new ability with the name ‘Tactical’ attached to the front appeared meant that an ability different from the existing Weapon Registration was created.
‘Among the things I have right now, the target worth calling a tactical weapon is…….’
Naturally, my gaze headed to the Bone Dragon beneath my feet.
I was already troubled considerably about the storage of the Bone Dragon, but if this works out well, it seemed the worry could be resolved at once.
‘There's nothing bad about trying.’
I reached out my hand toward the Bone Dragon.
[Registered ‘Bone Dragon’ to the Tactical Weapon List.]
[Currently registered Tactical Weapon count: 1]
And as if it had been waiting, the figure of the Bone Dragon disappeared with a blue halo of light.
“This works.”
I did it thinking it might work for some reason, but when it actually worked, to be honest, I was slightly perplexed.
Above all, as the Bone Dragon, which was my support in the sky, disappeared, my body was bound to fall to the ground just like that.
However, there was no need to be perplexed anew.
No matter how high the stratosphere is, I wouldn't fall and die from the fall, and just in time, I felt the necessity to test the new ability once at this opportunity.
[Activating ‘Weapon Summon (??)’.]
[Summoning Tactical Weapon.]
[Summoning Tactical Weapon, ‘Bone Dragon’.]
As soon as I activated the special ability of Weapon Summon, the huge body of the Bone Dragon that had disappeared beneath my feet revealed its appearance again.
Without the need to learn Magic of Space by paying a huge price, such a thing became possible with just the newly created ability.
[Kie-ek.]
The Bone Dragon roared as if it was glad.
It was proven that it is possible to put in and take out the Bone Dragon at will through Tactical Weapon Summon.
‘Excellent.’
Since I got exactly the necessary ability just in time, I could say I was truly lucky.
‘Then…….’
I lowered my gaze.
Since absorbing the Ascension Stone Fragments was finished, it was because there was a person I had to meet.
‘First, I need to meet Yuliana.’
It seemed there would be many stories to share with Yuliana.
