Round 2 Starts With 990,000 Points - Chapter 107



107 – Towards the End (2)

Just as my attacks barely work on him, his attacks barely work on me either.

If you take your time and find a way, you may be able to make the attack work, but it’s not a relaxed situation.

“I don’t know if this is the right answer.”

I repeatedly fought with the guy and inflated my body. The guy was as big as a mountain, but my body size became bigger than his. I artificially increased my body size using the mimicry ability of the Void Tentacles.

From noble mtl dot come

“Wow! It’s huge! It’s a giant!”

Silver 4, who was watching, was amazed. I re-embodied my giant body and shaped it into the shape of a palm. I concentrated on shaping it, but it didn’t go as well as I wanted. This was my first time inflating my body to such a large size and then embodied it.

It could be because the mimicry is done only through imagination, without being visible to the eye.

I changed my method. I decided to return my body to its original state and artificially grow only my right hand.

Even then, darkness continued its attacks.

I turned my body back around and increased the size of my right hand while countering the guy’s attack with my left hand. It has little effect, but it feels sticky, so if the damage accumulates, it’s impossible to control. I have to act in a way that gets hit as little as possible.

Woohoo.

My right hand grew as big as a mountain. I fought off the dark attacks that tried to invade my body and grew bigger. I continued to direct my energy and made my palm bigger, and eventually my body shrank. As a result, my body became a giant palm.

Crunch.

I moved my body that had turned into a palm and grabbed the guy. I was able to move quickly and grab the guy without giving him time to react.

Because it had grown so much in size, it fit entirely in the palm of my hand. I could feel its movements as it tried to burst out in all directions.

This is fucking crazy.

I ignored the movement and gradually normalized my body. I gradually reduced the size of my grip on the guy and allowed the rest of my body to return to its original state.

The darkness that was as big as Mt. Tai was now compressed into a small size within my palm. I was still in the form of a giant. In this state, I tried to reduce the darkness further and confine it, but it was not easy. That is why I could not return my giant body to normal.

Crackling.

As I tried to absorb the thing with my tentacles’ digestive powers, a tearing sound was heard from my grasp. It seemed that my palm was about to tear apart due to the thing’s violent movements.

I desperately blocked the guy’s resistance while I re-embodied my body towards him. The skin on my palms stretched and contracted here and there, like leather being stretched by an awl. I desperately blocked the guy’s struggles while I added my embodied body.

This time, I was able to catch him easily because he was off guard. However, there is no guarantee that the same attack will work again. So I have to finish him off right away, but his resistance is too strong to finish him off right away.

Let’s dig deeper.

As soon as I made my decision, I moved the guy towards my body. He came from my palm, up my arm, over my elbow, towards my shoulder, over my chest, and into my abdomen.

I drew the energy within my body and trapped the guy. Then I hardened my body to absorb the struggling guy.

My body, which had been transformed into a giant, gradually shrank back to its original size and hardened. I ignored my body, which was hardening like a statue, and focused all my energy on absorbing the guy.

* * *

Judaea was staring intently at the sight.

“Did you win?”

If we were in the same space, I would have been able to read the energy, but since the space is different, I can’t read the energy. Since I can’t read the energy, I can’t tell if the darkness is alive or not.

“I never thought you’d fight like that….”

Judae muttered as she looked at Ymir, who was frozen like a stone statue. Darkness, the final boss, could only be defeated with the combined strength of all the main characters in the novel.

Imir ignored it and fought in his own way. And judging by the way he turned around, it seems like his method worked.

“I think I won…”

Yudae swallowed. He never thought that he would defeat the boss on his own without the sacrifice of the main characters in the novel.

Even when Ymir grew to be a giant, he had no idea things would turn out this way. Judaye thought Ymir would give up and sacrifice the protagonists.

But when I see him absorbing the darkness within his body, I think he’s amazing.

“Soon all restrictions will be lifted and my omnipotence will return.”

She waited for her omnipotence to return.

* * *

Chaos waited impatiently for the next step. If the invader succeeded in defeating the darkness, he would release all his restrictions, and then Judaea would turn back the time of the world.

If the intruder fails to defeat the darkness, he must wait indefinitely for the next step without any plan.

While I was killing time by tapping the chair handle, Ma1 approached me.

“Oh my God, we’re in trouble.”

“What’s the big deal?”

“The monkey swallowed the darkness.”

Confusion opened his eyes wide at the completely unexpected report.

“Tell me more.”

Ma1 explained the situation he had seen. However, there were many parts that could not be explained in words. He wiped the sweat that had formed on his horns and bowed his head as he spoke.

“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to see it for yourself.”

* * *

Silver 4 was watching Ymir, who had turned into a statue, intently, so she didn’t even sense Chaos approaching. She only noticed her appearance when Chaos was right in front of her.

“Oh, my God!”

Silver 4’s voice trembled. It is God’s will that we live as we will, but it is not God’s will that we commit treason. She realized that her life was hanging in the balance.

“Is this an intruder?”

Chaos asked, pointing to Ymir, who was frozen like a stone statue.

Ma1, who came with us, was about to report, but Silver4 reported first.

“Yes, my God.”

“Why did it end up like that? Report in detail.”

Silver 4 reported everything she saw without missing anything. Chaos was confused after hearing the whole report.

“It hasn’t been decided yet.”

The darkness was not visible, but the dark energy was still felt within Ymir’s body. So the darkness had not disappeared. The outcome of the fight had not yet been determined.

“This has never happened before….”

At that time, Ma1 questioned Silver4.

“Silver 4! Why didn’t you kill the monkey and instead wander around?”

Silver 4 had lived a long life and had a lot of experience. So she knew that even if she lied now, she would be caught. She spoke honestly.

“dare!”

Ma1 was furious.

“Are you really a monkey!”

Ma1 was trying to kill Silver4, but chaos stopped him.

“Stop it.”

“But my God….”

“All beings have the freedom to live as they wish.”

“She broke the devil’s rules.”

“I have never made any rules. What would be the point of life if we lived by rules?”

* * *

Judaea was confused by the appearance of chaos.

“What are you doing, that thing?”

If the match was decided, Chaos should release its restraints. However, Chaos did not release its restraints and instead wandered around the area, watching Ymir.

“What the hell is going on?”

She checked her abilities. Her omnipotence still hadn’t returned.

If things were as they were, chaos would definitely be released… .

* * *

Chaos was a question at that moment.

Even a lowly Silver 4 lives according to his own will, so why do I live according to the Creator’s will?

She knew her reason for being. So she lived as Judae had told her. But that wasn’t what she wanted. So, can this life be said to have meaning?

At that moment, chaos came to an understanding.

Could it be that the Creator disappeared to test me?

If not, there is no way he hasn’t shown up yet.

Judaea could not meet chaos due to her restrictions, but chaos did not know this fact.

“Then, it’s not like you haven’t shown yourself until now… .”

Since I do not live by my own will, He does not reveal Himself to me in order to test me.

She thought that her agonizing actions had meaning. She even thought that it was the Creator’s will. If all of this was Judaea testing herself, then it would make sense.

This is why I agonize over my life and the meaning of life.

So then what is it that you truly desire?

Chaos looked at Silver4 and muttered.

“Of one’s own will… .”

Normally, when the darkness disappeared, the restrictions would be lifted. However, she did not do so. She wanted to act according to her own will, regardless of the fact that darkness was alive within Ymir’s body.

“There is no ending, for darkness is not dead.”

Ma1, who had been silent until then, spoke.

“What would a monkey do?”

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to kill you.”

“I just want to leave it alone.”

Chaos left after that rebuke. As Ma1 followed her, Silver4 followed behind her, hesitantly. When they were all gone, the darkness completely cleared away and the world revealed its original appearance.
