My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 92

variable (2)

Goo-!

In the hideout of the pledge of Yeokcheon hidden in the southern wasteland, the ceremony was in full swing.

“—, ———!”

At the center of the ceremony, an old man chanting spells with a magic circle in front of him.

His eyes were full of madness, concentrating only on perfecting the Dafa, regardless of the loud noises echoing everywhere.

The strange patterns painted on the walls and ceiling, including the walls, spread black light over and over again, gradually coloring the entire area with darkness.

‘It’s going smoothly. There seems to be no problem elsewhere.’

The large man who had been watching the situation from afar nodded satisfactorily.

The preparation period led by the elderly who will perform the ceremony was 30 years alone.

It had only been about 10 years since the preparations began in the large southern part, but it took 30 years just to prepare in advance.

‘No, I heard that the plan had been made before that.’

I don’t know the exact time as it was before he joined the oath of yeokcheon, but it was a plan that he had put a lot of effort into for a long time.

By now, the magic that has been distributed throughout the continent by mobilizing all the capabilities of the organization for many years must have been activated at the same time.

It will be of great help to the ceremonies held here, the center of Dafa.

‘This is the moment when your hard work is rewarded.’

Although it was said that the work was carried out as secretly as possible, the process of preparing several village-scale sacrificial ceremonies could not be easy.

It is not uncommon to be caught by a strong person or denomination passing by, as well as when a plan is shattered due to a report from a resident who felt suspicious.

Each time, the organization cut off the tail and reduced the incident to the work of a single warlock.

Despite their countless failures, they somehow hid their original purpose.

‘It would have been perfect if we could hold a ceremony in the center of the continent, but there is nothing we can do about it because the influence of the denomination is so strong.’

So this place was chosen, a wasteland between the central and southern regions.

Because this land, abandoned for lack of special resources, was the most optimal land for work.

goo-

How long has it been since the ritual began?

In the darkness that was shaking from the bottom of the magic circle, a black light rose into the sky.

Ignoring the ceiling, the black pillars stretched high into the sky.

Observed from afar, it felt as if the sky was divided in two by a black line.

“Keep, cool—!”

The old man in charge of the ceremony vomited black blood.

Dead blood continues to flow from the lacquer work on his face, and his limbs tremble relentlessly.

He didn’t even care about his dying body, and tried to complete the ritual by squeezing his last vitality.

Still, he hasn’t reached his desired goal.

‘Even though I’ve done this, I can’t fully complete the Dafa…!’

In all his life, he had never seen anyone more capable of magic than himself.

He was praised as the genius of the century from a young age, and when he grew up, he had a body that was even mentioned as the leader at a young age…

Even though he hung himself to death for 30 years, he could not complete it perfectly.

The door of the ‘Abyss’ that connects to the bottom of the dimension.

‘The man from a thousand years ago feels great all over again…’

He searched the entire continent to find places where the border with the abyss had weakened, and provided energy by sacrificing whole nearby villages.

In addition to that, he himself, who prides himself on being the best archmage on the continent, was in charge of the ceremony himself.

‘Okay···. I expected it from the beginning. Everything is as calculated.’

In the first place, his purpose was not to take ‘it’ out of the abyss and become the second immortal king.

If it’s not enough, it’s enough.

The old man clutched the locket necklace around his neck.

And without hesitation, he sacrificed his soul and his very being.

“Kuh-huh—!”

The ‘karma’ and ‘class’ of the Archmage, who went beyond the extreme and approached transcendence, became the food of consciousness and collapsed.

Even then, the door didn’t open completely, so all I had to do was twist it and make a hole.

The original purpose was achieved.

“Kick… Khhhh-!”

As he felt his soul scatter, he burst into laughter without regard for it.

Only anger and madness reigned in his heart.

The accident became blurry, and the precious things that supported him disappeared one by one.

Finally, the ‘it’, which had been embedded in the depths of the abyss, began to climb up the pillar.

Puss—

At the incomplete entrance, most of what had come out of the abyss was torn apart, and only a single fragment was fully revealed.

And the fragments protrude from the black pillar…

Whoops—!

It immediately pierced the old man’s heart.

Clink!

The impact broke the rope on the locket necklace hanging from his neck and fell to the floor, but he did not respond.

Now he was… just an empty shell.

Parasitic in the heart of the old man, the ‘seed of madness’ immediately fell into hibernation in the aftermath of an incomplete summoning.

It was unavoidable, as I lost more than 90% of it as soon as I came out of the abyss.

Most of the madness that was shattered in the process climbed up the soaring black pillar that seemed to pierce the sky, and spread across the continent.

So the second abyss opens.

‘Madness’ sprouted on the continent.

***

‘The oath of Yeokcheon opened the abyss. They must have been crazy like this.’

I knew that they were a power that was weak in the shadows, but I didn’t know they could open the abyss.

It seemed that the evaluation of these guys had to be raised a bit more.

In order to do this, it was too young to be a simple criminal organization and had to have some kind of connection with a high-ranking authority.

‘That’s it.’

I’ve got work to do.

As long as he’s done things like this, he couldn’t stand still and watch.

[A ritual of this size. The energy of the continent is fluctuating. Do you want to go see it yourself?]

Now he is about to start a full-fledged ‘home theater’ operation, but this was a variable that far deviated from the situation he had imagined.

I had to make a deal with them somehow.

The moment when Hans was quietly concentrating, tracking the center of energy and moving.

wriggle—

Something inside him reacted.

– I won’t let you go! I will never leave everyone on this continent alone!

‘Well? This?’

– Death to the world! revenge! Color this continent with death!

Suddenly, a certain will exploded from inside Hans.

A runaway of thoughts from the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’, which has now become his heart.

It inflated in an instant, trying to invade Hans’s mind.

– What are you doing! Come and become one with me and cover the world with death…

Hans frowned at the sudden pouring of thoughts.

I could understand the situation immediately, but it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for.

‘This is the thought of the previous Immortal King. Did the abyss spring out again in the aftermath of the opening?’

It was not the will of the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’ that he had been dealing with, but the thoughts of the previous Immortal King buried there.

For some reason, he had been sleeping quietly while the abyss was closed, but this incident seemed to wake him up.

‘Are you the second immortal king? Maybe not one? …No, maybe both.’

Seeing them clamoring to become one with themselves, that one was the most credible.

‘Since the heart of the Immortal King also originated from the abyss, it seems to have been over-activated under the influence of this incident.’

Anger came over the sudden situation.

Because of that thought, the amount of information in the “Mind Hub” increased, and there was no time for other leisure.

Still, because of the heart of the Immortal King, I always have a lot of spare time, because the thoughts of the former squadron were never to be taken lightly.

[Huh— the ghosts of the past dare to say this and that to this body.]

– Come with me right now… What?

[There is a lot of talk about the loser. I’ll take care of this for you, so you go away. I can’t stand it because it’s so noisy that he barks.]

-···under···.

At Hans’s thoughts, the thoughts that had been coming from his heart stopped for a moment.

But for a while.

-···Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha—! you! you! You have escaped from the will of ‘death’! I am fully self-aware! Well, that’s why you haven’t become one with us yet! Ha ha ha ha ha!

A maddening laugh rang through his head again.

-I…we are! I’m still caught up in ‘death’ like this! Ahh-! Death, death! Please grant us a complete death! Death—! ············Ah, color the continent with death! Ah ha ha!

‘I think it’s crazy.’

If he had been sane, he wouldn’t have accepted the Immortal King’s heart in the first place.

After that, he would have spent hundreds of years tainted by the death of the abyss, so it was only natural for it to happen.

‘I don’t know if the real soul is captured or if it’s just a thought.’

That wouldn’t be an important issue.

The important thing right now was that I couldn’t do anything because of him, even though I was busy.

‘After all, after the abyss is closed, I’ll fall asleep again, but what’s the point of staying still like this?’

The ‘Heart of the Immortal King’ already belonged to him.

In the past, even if it was a used product, I didn’t care because it didn’t show any noticeable marks, but I found the name of the former owner engraved on it, so I have to scrape it off.

Hans, who contemplated his own heart through the skill “Heart of Immortality”, was able to discover foreign substances soon.

‘found.’

Thoughts, like some non-substantial concept, were entangled in the heart.

However, I did find it, but the problem was how to get rid of it.

‘There is no substance, nor does it exist as an energy body. Just like so many negative emotions in your heart, those thoughts are a part of those feelings… huh? emotion?’

In an instant, an idea flashed in my mind.

The “Mind Hub” that I have been using habitually was not appropriate in this situation.

Now, he needed a way to touch his emotions more directly… and he had the appropriate skill.

‘「Persona」.’

A skill that was once used to capture the emotions of the main body into an avatar, and over time it became possible to amplify and control certain emotions.

That was the answer he found.

‘The Immortal King’s heart has already become one with Hans. The skill “Heart of Immortality” proves it.’

Then, can’t it be said that the emotions contained in it are also Hans’s?

If that’s the case, I’d be able to scrape away the thoughts that weren’t one from the beginning.

Hans, who had gained confidence, said confidently to Sa-seom.

[Stop talking and wait patiently. I will destroy you forever.]

-extinction···? extinction! eternal death! Disappearing from this world! death!!

Sadyeom, who had been raging all alone in the midst of a riot, reacted to Hans’ words again.

The response was more intense than expected.

-Ahahahaha-! If you really give me eternal death, I’ll give you a gift! What you should have had but didn’t have!

For a moment, I was curious, but what more could I do with the maniac?

Hans immediately focused on the inside of his heart through 「Heart of Immortality」.

The first thing I saw was… all kinds of negative emotions, including death.

With the emotions concentrated in the original ‘Heart of the Immortal King’, they were so heavy and sticky that they couldn’t even dare to touch them.

‘Because that was not my goal in the first place.’

What he was aiming for was a thought mixed like an impurity in it.

The mixing period was also short, and it was not difficult to separate them, perhaps because they had a heterogeneous nature in the first place.

That was the moment when Hans used 「Persona」 to break down those thoughts little by little.

-Ah… it’s scattered. It’s disappearing! Eternal death is coming!

The thoughts of death, which had been shouting for death, began to radiate with joyous sounds.

-gift! Give me a present! I will help you color this continent with death!

I could quickly tell what the gift he was talking about.

A part of thought is separated, and it is simply divided into a part containing information and a part having an ego.

It seems that the information he was holding was a gift.

‘I don’t know how helpful that will be, but it’s better than nothing.’

And Hans relentlessly separated the thoughts that possessed the ego and scattered them as they were.

-Ah… Death…, that splendor…

The thoughts of the former immortal king who disappeared without forgetting the words to the end.

And Hans was finally able to have a peaceful time.

‘Huh, I’m feeling a little cooler now. You’re too late for that.’

Much more time has passed than I expected to deal with the thought.

‘What gift are you giving? At the earliest, information from 300 years ago would not be particularly helpful.’

The highest probability is knowledge or experience of magic…

In that part, there was “evil wisdom” and “forbidden knowledge” provided by the heart of the immortal king, and “the path of magic” that encompasses the providence of another world was added, so it was not lacking in particular.

The moment he checked the gift with such a light heart, he was quite surprised by the unexpected information contained there.

‘Five···? Are you sure it’s a gift?’

That’s right, that thought was exactly what he said, ‘what you should have but didn’t have’.

‘It’s a pretty good variable.’

It was about ‘The Immortal King’s Legacy’.
