My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 261

#261

Game of tag (3)

The day when the saint and the saint returned in a hurry.

Hatianus II interacted with so many people that you might wonder if he was a person who had never been alone.

I cleared up the accumulated worries with Riesta, whom I had been away from for a while, chatted with people I was in a relationship with, and also offered good words to younger students whom I had not been able to see often.

Many people naturally came and went to the Pope’s residence, creating a lively atmosphere for the first time in a long time.

And that evening.

He lay down on the bed in front of a few high-ranking officials, including the saint, saying he was tired…

“Hehehe, then I will go first, so everyone please come slowly.”

With that short word, I quickly fell into a deep sleep, as if I was falling asleep.

With a soft smile on your lips.

However, despite such a big incident, the sadness that spread within the main shrine was not that great.

The same goes for Saint Riesta, who was quiet all day today.

She wiped away tears for a moment, but soon recovered her composure and took the lead in blessing the Pope’s new journey.

‘Well, it’s obviously the continent’s largest religion, and all the high-ranking people are fanatics, so it’s only natural.’

For those who were deeply religious, death was not the eternal end, but only the beginning of the journey to God.

Even if we are saddened by the immediate separation, we have faith that we will meet again in the arms of the Lord later.

While the funeral was taking place in such a calm atmosphere, Henry recalled the Pope’s secret message.

The kind voice that only reached his head so that not even Riesta, who was right next to him, could hear it.

‘…Well, it wasn’t such a big deal. At most, it was just one word.’

Just one word.

“Allowed.”

That was the word of God delivered by the Pope just before his exile.

‘I don’t know what to do with that…’

A deep sigh escaped me without my knowledge.

Of course, I could roughly guess why it was so vague.

For convenience, it was referred to as the word of God, but to be more precise, it would have been closer to an arbitrary interpretation of part of the complex and vast will so that humans could understand it.

At least it was possible because the Pope’s soul was slowly breaking away from the body.

For example, even though you are a saint in name and form, don’t you still not feel much of a difference from the beginning?

‘There’s no point in worrying about it now. Anyway, allowing something isn’t a bad thing.’

I don’t know if it’s about playing continental shit, selling God’s name all over the place, or whether it’s about the long stay in Outerica.

In a way, it was a welcome sign that there was no need to worry anymore.

Now slowly—.

Because another big event was just around the corner.

***

[Hehehe— This is ridiculous. For some reason, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it.]

The surrounding atmosphere shook violently along with the dreary laughter of the Immortal King Hans.

He is located on top of a towering spire of immortality.

It was a place where an altar was set up for the tracking ritual of a medium.

[I never would have guessed that it was hiding on the edge of the abyss. That place is absolutely not an environment in which the living can survive.]

The place where the immortal army was sleeping was a chaotic area where time and space were mixed, as well as without air or warmth.

In fact, the world is one where even undead find it difficult to think, let alone move arbitrarily.

‘I thought he was something out of the ordinary, but this is even more than I expected.’

But what is admirable is admirable, and when this happens, a revision of the plan becomes inevitable.

In order to deal with him reliably, I had deliberately gathered all the executives of the Immortal Army and prepared them…

‘If you can handle the abyss like me, then other people will be just a burden. ‘I’d rather just go alone.’

Hans flew through the sky and came down from the spire, his burning eyes shining.

In fact, even if he went alone, there wouldn’t be any problem.

The reason we haven’t been able to deal with the revolutionary so far is because we couldn’t find his hiding place, not because of the force he possessed.

No matter how strong I am, can I possibly be as strong as the Immortal King?

However, the reason he prepared so thoroughly was simply his desire to be more certain.

No matter what anyone says, he was a big man who led the tribulations that turned the world over on several occasions.

‘Now that things are like this, it would be a meaningless waste of time to delay any longer.’

After pondering for a moment, Hans made a decision and took action immediately.

[Be prepared for battle and stand by.]

Be prepared for any emergency, but go alone into the border of the abyss.

However, he did not forget to follow in Salma’s footsteps and take the Abyss Revenants, made from the corpses of Earth’s awakened people, to subspace.

‘You never know, these guys who poured so much into the abyss. Even if you can’t use it inside, it will be quite helpful when he escapes outside.’

After completing his preparations, he headed straight to the scar of the abyss located nearby.

Since the decision had already been made, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

‘found.’

Traces of cracks detected by Hans’ sensitive senses.

It had been inactive for quite some time and was tightly closed, but it was not that difficult for Hans, who wielded the power of the abyss, to open one.

The black energy rising from his fingertips stretched out and took shape.

Soon, a sharply forged abyss split the air. A

crack

that tears open all at once.

A darkness that seemed ominous at first glance was violently mixing and shaking inside.

[Kkkk, this is really interesting. Then, shall we go somewhere to catch the bug that is bothering me?]

And Hans was quietly observing it.

Without hesitation, I pushed myself into it.

Grumbling—

a crack that continues to squirm in the wake of entry.

However, in less than a few seconds, it began to twist this way and that, and before I knew it, it was quickly restored and disappeared in the air again.

It was as if nothing had happened from the beginning.

***

There were many reasons why Hans was able to throw himself into the unknown territory of the crack without hesitation.

It was believed that if the power of the abyss could be handled directly, there would be no major problems, and the most important thing was that if something went wrong, the summoning could be canceled.

[Hmm, what about this?]

Still, he thought he might have to invest quite a bit of time to find the person inside… but

he realized that he had overlooked one thing.

‘Mixed space and time. Everywhere and nowhere. If it weren’t for the abyss, it would have been quite difficult.’

Hans looked around as he wrapped himself around the abyss, anchoring his being.

An extraordinary space where location coordinates are constantly distorted and phase changes even when standing still.

In fact, it could only be considered impossible to find someone in a place like this.

[Hoo- This… could be used.]

If there wasn’t a signpost that showed him a clear destination.

The environment here is like an open sea when you don’t know where to go, but as long as there is a clear sign, there is no other place that is as comfortable as this.

Hans took out a small vibrating piece of metal and looked at it quietly.

Then, taking a slow step,…

Where he wants to be.

It immediately reached the location pointed by the medium.

In the very place where the revolutionaries are.

‘Okay, if you do this, it’s like eating for nothing… huh?’

[Huh?]

But right after that.

What caught his eye was an unexpected sight.

‘I guess it’s not a mistake… First of all, it seems certain that that is the seed of madness.’

Kwaduk—kwaduk—!

As he calmly assessed the situation, a bloody sound flowed into his ears.

Right in front of him, something large and white was busy eating, its mouth moving eagerly.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s a white giant. ‘This is unexpected.’

Those who eat and those who are eaten.

No matter how you look at it, it was him.

For some reason, I thought there was no invasion for a while, but they were fighting among themselves in a place like this.

‘Wait a minute, what size is that…?’

Meanwhile, he noticed something strange and slowly tilted his head.

At first, I thought it was because of this space where the perspective was distorted, but even after using the “Eye of the Abyss” and checking it again and again, it was clear that there was no mistake.

The size of the eating side is about 1.5 times larger than the other side.

‘…No matter how you look at it, the one being eaten doesn’t seem small. The average giant was about 30 meters….’

About 45 meters.

Even at a rough estimate, it was as big as a 15-story building.

Moreover, unlike the giants of the past who had ordinary bodies, this one had the solidly trained body of a warrior, and its muscles, which created synergy with its enormous size, showed off an overwhelming sense of intimidation just by existing.

And that wasn’t the end of what was getting on his nerves.

Not only did he have an enormous amount of ‘madness’ within his body, but…

“Pfft, I never thought he would really come all the way here… Yes, it was you, the Immortal King, after all.”

The face of the bastard that Hans had been observing closely turned to him.

The giant looked at him with a pair of pitch-black eyes that seemed to be in an abyss, raising the corners of his mouth and smirking.

eyes nose mouth ears.

There was no seal visible anywhere.

[Are you that damn revolutionary? This is quite unexpected. Did he use the Seed of Madness to take on the body of a giant?]

“Puh-huh—how are you, the Immortal King? Isn’t it beautiful? “This body is the perfect human being, the new human race of this world, painstakingly created by the God of Man!”

[God of humans…?]

The moment Hans questions that unfamiliar word.

Immediately after receiving a mental attack from the White Giant in the past, some dregs that had settled at the base of consciousness began to react with the abyss that filled this space.

And when the things that had been shattered before being able to be resolved were intertwined among us and transformed into a single piece of information.

He was finally able to realize.

Why was that giant self-proclaimed revolutionary in front of me causing such a fuss?

[her! This is ridiculous. Is it the god and his seed who were corrupted and imprisoned in the abyss?]

“Phuket—yeah, you don’t understand. You just came into this world by chance! How can we, as children, remain silent when our Creator and Father is suffering at the bottom of the cold abyss? Ah—God! “Forgive this helpless creature!”

Grumble—!

The surrounding space began to warp at the loud cries of the giant who was talking incessantly and then suddenly moving forward.

Then, the immense energy contained within spread out in all directions, encroaching on the territory.

‘Hmm.’

But even in the face of that momentum, Hans just quietly tilted his head.

I was trying to think of how to respond to the words of this guy who was talking as if he was convinced that he was from another world.

But that worry didn’t last long.

‘…Does it really matter? Anyway, there are places where I will get rid of it right away.’

Because I realized that there was no point in what he was talking about.

So, I just felt comfortable and stabbed the guy openly.

[Hoo—Does that mean that this body is from another world?]

“Ah? Are you planning to hide it? It’s no use since you already know everything. This space is where His power is maximized. “There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize you even if you were face to face like this!”

‘It’s power.’

Thanks to you, I was able to obtain another piece of information.

I’m not sure what it is yet, but it’s clear that he has some special ability.

While he was organizing his thoughts.

The giant… the revolutionary raised the corners of his mouth in a low sneer.

“Khehehe—you’re so arrogant, Immortal King. You’re so distracted by a few words that you give me time!”

Pud-clack-

The giant’s muscles swelled with a loud sound.

Certainly, as he said, not only the prayers coming from him but also his body were more stable than before.

He seemed to be giving out various information earlier, and it seems he was buying time to digest the giant that gorged on him.

[There is one mistake.]

“Hmm?”

but.

Hans didn’t neglect him without knowing it.

I just decided that right now it would be better to prioritize information over dealing with him right away.

Because…

[Well, nothing changes.]

Because he and that giant were never equal.

Even if you give it just that much more time, the results will not change.

Of course, the energy it contained was definitely formidable, but—.

‘That also depends on the opponent.’

The despair that has descended on the continent, the fear of the living, and the incarnation of death.

[I’ll show you the difference in class.]

Outerica is the strongest, a self-proclaimed person with a misguided view of the world.

Whoa!

Death exploded from the body of the immortal king Hans.

It covered the world filled with chaos and immediately engulfed its slowly approaching territory.
