True empty hometown
mask.
The reason I thought that way was not because of any special insight. It was simply that the mysterious antics of the Shinto Master in front of me were not something that could possibly be done by human ability. However, that does not mean that he is a divine being. In that case, as someone who has trained as a masked magician, there is only one answer that I can give.
The God of Shinto, he himself was originally a mask.
I don’t know how they can keep their human nature together, but that’s the bottom line. It’s so easy for a mask to change into another mask. The masquerader has to ‘wear’ the mask, but the mask doesn’t even require that process, so the possibility increases dramatically.
… it’s not that I can’t understand.
Because I have already experienced countless adventures and realized that there are all sorts of beings in this world. I can accept that the God of Shinto is a human with a mask. Since I know that there are aliens and gods, how can I not accept something so strange?
But then, how did the Supreme Being achieve absolute martial arts and obtain the Divine Power?
Only a human could have so much insight into the power of the Great Void…
In response to my words, the God of War replied in the form of a spirit.
[ Yes, that’s right, junior. I am human and a mask. I am the God of Fighting and a mask. ]
“How is that possible? And now you… have taken away the soul and body of an ancient god.”
I looked at the God of Shinto with eyes of disbelief.
In fact, the existence of a heterogeneous demon is simply a matter of accepting that such a being exists. It is impossible to imagine how many evil and strange monsters there are in the other world.
However, even though there are many monsters in the world, there are not many beings that can take away the body of an ancient god! An ancient god was also a transcendent being that could control the constellations and move the laws of the universe. Even if an ancient god with power greater than [the old ruler] was attacked by surprise, how could he take away the body of a god?
[ It’s simple. The original owner of the mask has a much higher rank than this spirit. It’s so high that when I transform into a mask, there are almost no opponents in the universe who can’t steal my body… Although I have awakened my original abilities as a mask to an exceptional degree. ]
“Gyeok? The original owner?”
[I’d like to explain, but I don’t have time right now. From now on, wake up and do as I say, junior.]
” what?”
Tsk tsk tsk –
The Shinto Spirit moved his body. His two arms slowly descended from the form that seemed to support the sky, forming a hand seal. As soon as I saw the shape of the hand seal, I knew what it meant.
‘The wisdom fist seal of the Great Sun Tathagata!’
No doubt!
It was a form that was recorded in the book containing Changjie’s records. I had memorized Changjie’s book by heart, so I could not forget it. Before I could even think about how Shintujijon could write that, a mandala spread out from behind Shintujijon, swaying like a halo. Shintujijon spoke to me while maintaining the seal of the earth.
[What Dharma asked of me was to seal the spirits one by one into the Four Great Sacred Spirits. I will take their bodies and put them into the sacred spirits, and you will then have to make the Four Great Sacred Spirits yours one by one after they are sealed.]
“……!!”
[You can do that much, right? Junior.]
I was taken aback by the sudden words. It was difficult to figure out how things were going.
‘You’re sealing the spirits in the Four Great Gods?!’
Does the fact that Dharma requested this mean that he has decided to grant my request? As I stood there blankly, the Great Master Shinto shouted out a loud mantra.
[Sabaha!]
Swaaaah!!
The spirit of fire fluttered through the air like a dance of red rays, and was soon sealed in a sacred object with a loud bang. I quickly grabbed the sacred object with my magical arm, but at that moment, my magical arm melted.
“Eww.”
I screamed in excruciating pain, but I soon realized that it was a rejection reaction.
‘The divine spirit sealed inside the sacred object rejects magical power!’
If the essence of the spirit is the spirit god and the ancient god related to the order of the universe, it was natural that he hated the magic power of the [old ruler]. I pulled off the magic arm and stretched out my good arm to grab the spirit, but this time I didn’t feel the pain of melting, but another problem arose.
“Ugh…”
I can’t hear it!
It was just a long iron barrel-shaped weapon that looked light, but I couldn’t lift it with my body’s pure strength. I tried to use my qi to strengthen my strength and lift it, but I couldn’t lift it properly this time either. While I was struggling, I heard the voice of the new master from behind.
“If it’s the Four Great Gods, it’s probably not a weapon that can be lifted with strength. Maybe another qualification is needed?”
When I looked back, Shintojijon appeared in the same human form as before. It seemed as if he had sealed the spirit and escaped intact. I was inwardly surprised by his incredible ability and responded.
“Qualifications?”
“That’s a weapon that can’t be said to be on par with the Four Great Gods of our world. It’s just something that temporarily sealed an ancient god. I don’t know what I need to do to make it into a weapon.”
” ……”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Your Majesty, what do you mean by what you said earlier? I understand that you are a mask, but I just don’t understand what it means to steal yourself.”
My question caught Shintojijon’s eye.
“Junior. Wasn’t your goal that great god? You have the luxury of asking about my purpose when your goal is right in front of you.”
“I don’t have time. But I think I’ll regret it more if I don’t know your true identity.”
The new god is dangerous.
It is also important.
I had a gut feeling that it would be meaningless to reclaim the Four Great Gods and return to the original world without knowing this person’s true intentions. That’s why I wanted to hear the real story from him even if it meant wasting time.
The new god smiled broadly.
“Hey. First, take the new one and then talk. That’s the most important part, so what are you going to do if I skip it?”
“No matter how much energy I put into it, I can only lift a little.”
“I guess that’s because I only listened to my internal energy?”
” ah!”
At that moment, I realized what I had overlooked. Then, I immediately concentrated my thoughts and created a will to straighten the heavenly pillar.
I’ll take this.
At the same time, I could feel the absolute realm of the Heavenly Spirit distorting the laws of the world in an instant and granting me an unknown power. As I slowly began to lift the sacred object, unlike before, the sacred object was very light in my hand as if it had no weight.
When I succeeded in lifting the sword, the God of War said:
“I see. You need to be able to control your will or the Great Void to use divine powers.”
” ……”
“Okay, let’s go seal the next one.”
” … I don’t get it.”
I looked around and said.
“The four spirits are joining forces to block the evil spirits and the [old rulers]. In this situation, wouldn’t it be suicidal to seal the spirits one by one and put them in the sacred vessel? Not only would it not heal the vacuum, but the barrier would be broken and I would die right away.”
“That’s if you didn’t do anything. Just don’t accept it.”
Shintujijon continued speaking while walking with steady steps.
“Baek Woong. Next time the evil spirit attacks, you fight back with your divine power.”
Choaak!!
The moment the words were spoken, the God of War disappeared from his spot again. This time, it seemed that he was planning to attack and seal another spirit. As soon as he disappeared, I noticed a huge scream coming from the sky.
Kioooooooo –
A gigantic [Old Ruler] appeared, writhing and swarming around the barrier. And the barrier on this side was weakened, perhaps because the fire spirit was gone. Also, behind that thing, the evil spirit seemed to be preparing to strike the barrier with its fist.
‘ no!’
If the evil spirit attacks this time, it seems like it will definitely break through!
Having that intuition, I decided that I should start by dealing with the [Old Ruler] who was currently attacking the barrier. So I lifted the long, iron-tong-shaped sacred weapon and aimed it outside.
“Um… So, how do I use this?”
The Four Great Guardian Spirits imbued with the spirit of flame.
From the shape, it seemed like it was firing something. However, there was no mechanical device inside the firing hole. From the shape, it looked like a gun, but I had no idea how to use it. There was nothing to press to fire it.
It was at that moment. A voice rang in my head.
[ Human… How dare you seal the great spirit into a mere object…!!]
The spirit of flame was roaring in anger as if it was going to burst my head. I listened to its fury and said.
“I’m sorry, but please help me! If you don’t help me now, the vacuum fragrance will fail.”
[ ……]
“Didn’t someone give you a mission? That mission is to help us protect the ritual, so you need to help us!”
[ Selfish bastards… Are you willing to despise even God for your own purposes?… You truly are a race of chaos.]
The spirit of flame, who had been muttering as if lamenting, finally spoke.
[ … my name is #*%&*@&*$.]
” yes?”
[ Mortal Baekwoong. You will learn to translate my name into your language. If you do so, a contract will be established where I become subordinate to this weapon and lend it my power.]
“Hmm!”
I realized why the spirit of flame had taught me his name.
[Name]’s contract!
The ancient gods also could not ignore the weight, so they approved the contract by revealing their true names. I was able to recognize the name in my head, but when I tried to change it into the language of the human world, I realized that it was difficult. This was because it was a high-level [name] that was difficult to describe in words, and it could not be expressed in any language.
It was when I was in trouble that a faint sound flowed into my head.
[ … Agni (अग्नि)…]
oh?!
When I turned my head in the direction where the words of the heart had come from, there was the figure of Dharma, his chest melting in confusion. Dharma sent me words of the heart once again.
[ Baek Woong… The name of that being… can be defined as Agni… That is the name that can contain his power in the divine spirit without loss… It is the contract name that was discovered after tens of thousands of attempts…]
[Dalma! Are you okay?!]
[ Hurry up… and do it… ]
[ I get it!]
I noticed that Dharma’s voice was fading away and shouted urgently.
“Your name is Agni! The contract has been established!”
[Good… I will become a divine instrument and lend you my power according to the contract!]
Whoaah
At that moment, a luster flowed from the iron barrel, and an incredible magical power began to flow. And before I could do anything, a huge flame shot out from the iron barrel. The roar of the ancient god echoed.
[ My name is Agni! I will be the flame that destroys all demons! ]
The Four Great Sacred Instruments
Start
Kookwakwakwang!!
[Kuaaaaaaah!!]
The next moment, the [Old Ruler], a hundred-legged snake-like being that had been wrapping itself around the barrier, was shattered from the waist down with a single blow. The [Old Ruler] struggled to recover, but before his magical power could surge, the divine power instantly burned the ruler’s head, and after a moment of white flame, the ruler was completely destroyed.
Phewaaaah!!
The flame of the Four Great Gods, Agni, did not stop there, but flew to the evil spirit behind him. The evil spirit flapped his bat-like wings to repel the flame, but his bat wings seemed to have been greatly burned. The evil spirit seemed somewhat surprised, as he stopped chanting the spell he had been reciting and hesitated.
“……!!”
The power of the Four Great Gods is this much!
I looked at the iron can in my hand in astonishment.
‘Even the Seven Deadly Sins didn’t have this much power!’
The visual effects may be similar to the Seven Lights, but the Four Great Spirits could directly strike the [Old Ruler]. That was a huge difference. The Seven Lights could also strike the [Old Ruler] if the user’s skill was at least Demon King level, but the increase rate was not that great, while the Four Great Spirits seemed to be capable of openly killing the gods. That was only natural, since the cosmic-level spirits were sealed!
Dharma’s words were heard again.
[ Hurry up… and move, Baekwoong… You have to obtain all four divine powers to have a… minimum chance of winning. With just the barrier maintained by the spirit gods… you will never be able to hold out until the vacuum is over… ]
I screamed in shock.
[Dalma! If you had such a plan, you should have told me a long time ago!]
[ I’m sorry… but… the [old rulers] were already watching me… Especially to you, my apostle, there was a more serious revelation… I had no choice but to tell you after the operation began…]
[ … What happens when the book is completed? Will the world be destroyed immediately?]
[ ……]
Dharma did not answer, but his answer seemed to imply that it would not be an immediate destruction.
[ Baek Woong… Originally, using that divine power required an enormous… enormous price… It was originally impossible to abuse it like this… It is the world’s strongest divine power… However, I, who currently maintains the altar, am bearing the entire cost… You should not spare your strength and use all your power to repel the [Old Ruler]…]
[ I get it!]
I gritted my teeth and headed towards the next direction. And as I headed towards the next location, there, the Shinto Master was already taking over the body of the Wind Spirit.
Swish!!
The God of Winds sealed the spirit of the wind in a sacred instrument that was either a horn or a trumpet. He threw the sacred instrument at me and said.
“The second miracle.”
” … you still haven’t told me your true intentions.”
As I spoke, grabbing the spirit from the air, the God of Shinto narrowed his eyes.
“How absurd… As the successor to Shinto, do you really think you can hear people’s inner thoughts as you asked? Just as you don’t trust me, I don’t really trust you either. And you probably don’t want to tell me because you’re angry. Don’t you?”
” ……”
“I don’t understand. Even though you’ve built up so much skill, you still have a pure side to you…”
He was a god who was muttering as if he was grumbling. I looked at him and said.
“Promise me.”
” what?”
“Once you’ve collected all of these Four Great Gods, you will tell me your true intentions.”
” … What did you hear just now? I told you that I had no reason or intention to tell you?”
“Tell me.”
I looked straight at the God of Shinto.
“Otherwise, I will never acknowledge you as the lord of thieves and the lord of gods.”
” ……”
The face of the God of War distorted. Then he said.
“You’re a funny guy. Do you think that would be considered a threat?”
“What’s wrong?”
” what?”
I crossed my arms.
“I am your only successor and junior left in the human world. I am the only one in the entire heaven and earth who has inherited everything from the Shinto Supreme Lord. And if you were not human but a mask, I would be the only one in the world who would acknowledge that you are the greatest thief. Especially if the world is about to end.”
” ……”
“If I don’t admit it, you won’t achieve your goal as the God of Shinto, but will end up as just a mask. If what I said is wrong, then there’s nothing I can do.”
But what I said didn’t seem to be wrong at all.
” ……”
The new god seemed to be greatly shaken. His pupils were visibly shaking.
‘It works…!!’
In fact, for a normal human being, this kind of thing should not be a threat. What does it matter to the God of Shinto whether I acknowledge it or not? That’s why I felt hesitant when I first spoke.
However, for some reason, looking at the way Shintojijon acted up until now, I felt that he was paying attention to me even though he pretended not to. I couldn’t quite figure out why he had this strange obsession and favor, but at the last moment, I was able to get a rough idea of what it was.
The God of Shinto as a [human].
He, who was also a [mask], was obsessed with it and left it behind for the sake of his own identity.
Isn’t that why he left his Eugene behind in the human world so that his [junior] could follow him?
The new leader, who had been silent for a while, spoke.
“Okay… I’ll tell you at the end.”
He said with a twinkle in his eye, as if his pride was slightly hurt.
“You fucking junior.”
Pfft!
As soon as the Shinto Master disappeared, I made a contract with the Four Great Gods again. This time, I used the Four Great Gods named Bayu and blew a trumpet into the air, causing a huge barrier of flow to appear and tightly wrap around the surrounding area.
Woohoo
This could be used offensively, but it seemed to be a divine weapon primarily used for defense and assistance.
‘I see. My plan is to fill the empty positions of the spirits while obtaining the Four Great Spirits and buy time for the vacuum fragrance…’
I glanced back.
Phagec!!
The book was forming the fourth piece. It would soon be halfway through. If we continued like this, it seemed possible to endure the vacuum incense.
But when I went to get the third one.
Kookookookook…
” what?”
An ominous sound came from outside. And the [Old Rulers] who had been pouring out countless magics surrounding the barrier up until now stepped back and lined up as if waiting for something. Shintojijon, who was looking at this, muttered.
“It’s finally here.”
” what?”
Shintojijon said, closing his eyes.
“The Mother of all things will soon descend according to the worship of the [old rulers]…”
Hooooooo
An indescribable, black horned, evil sheep-like otherworld was felt to flow down from the other side of the universe with a greenish glow. And all the [Old Rulers] forgot to even attack, and simply knelt down, showing the utmost respect to the being that would soon descend. It was visibly visible that even the evil spirits bowed their heads to the solemnity of the ‘something’ that existed beyond the otherworld.
At first it was a funny sight to see the rulers kneeling, but then I realized what it symbolized and my palms grew clammy.
The foreign god will descend soon.
