Raid Breaker
< [Chapter 90] Meet Him. >
Meet @ ‘him’.
The letter kept Crowe's exterior equipment tidy in a week, as promised. Although not as much as Crowe, she has also upgraded the specs to some extent, with the demolition speeding up its fire speed and the Inferno or Flame increasing its power.
There, the Silver Book made two more very precious shells. It was a seemingly trivial extinction bomb, but it was not an easy thing to make, because it required a huge amount of loot to make it.
In fact, Suhyuk took too much loot, but most of the loot was used to make something of Suhyuk. Suhyuk was well aware of it, so he did not hesitate to bring the loot to Eunuch.
Suhyuk, who received everything he deserved, is now ready to challenge the Awakening Tower. Once you've opened the Awakening Tower, you've collected all the loot you need.
All that remains is to open the Awakening Tower and enter.
Kuaaaaahhh!
As soon as Soohyuk opened the door on the first floor of the Awakening Tower again, light wrapped around his body. Everything was familiar because it was the fourth visit to the tower of Awakening.
No, I thought I was used to it.
Then suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.
Soohyuk's light began to become stronger. It's never happened before.
‘Huh? What is this……. ’
Suhyuk was surprised by the sudden change and looked around. However, there was still a light so intense that the eyes ached that it was wrapped around Soohyuk.
And the light that continued to get stronger suddenly exploded.
Flash!!!!
Kuaaaaaa!
Soohyuk springs up with an explosion of light, momentarily losing his mind. It was Suhyuk who never lost his mind due to the chaotic shock, but this was not just a shock, but an absolute feeling of something clumsy forced him to do so.
How long has it been?
Soohyuk woke up slowly and opened his eyes. A world of pure white. It was the same environment as when I met Whitechoon, who was the target of the first Awakening Tower.
“You've leveled up the dimension quite a bit, don't you think you're waking up too late? ”
A man who caught Suhyuk's eye. He looked just like a normal Korean, but he was speaking Korean until the end of the day.
“Who are you? ”
Suhyuk asked towards the man who appeared in front of him. No matter how ordinary he looked, he didn't look like a normal person. Especially the presence I felt in him…… was far higher than I had ever felt in the transcendent.
“Me? Well, who? ”
The man smiled and asked again.
“Is this the Awakening Tower? ”
“The Awakening Tower is right, but it's not the first floor you opened. There's no way I can split my soul and split it. There's only three floors I can go down, so I pulled you up here with a little bit of help. ”
“Is that possible? ”
“I'm the one who built the Awakening Tower. Of course I can. ”
“You built the Awakening Tower? ”
“Actually, it's another me that exists later than I am now, but the concept of space-time is meaningless to me anyway, so it's the same as mine. ”
“I don't understand what you're saying. ”
“You don't have to understand. It doesn't help if you find out. I think there's something else you should be wondering right now.... ”
“I…… wonder who you are. ”
“Who am I? I'd rather ask who you are. ”
“I am Kang Soohyuk. ”
Suhyuk replied with a confident expression. However, the man who heard the answer still opened his mouth with a bigger smile.
“Yes, you're Kang Woohyuk. But is Kang Soo-hyuk really worth it? ”
“What do you mean? ”
“You won't have time to explain everything, and you won't have much understanding. In fact, you should just be Kang Hyun-hyuk if it's the way it is. And the world you lived in would have been okay with your humans sticking together without monsters or dungeons… but everything went wrong after the damn World War of NYX. Dimensions were intermingled, and the boundaries between them were completely broken. Thanks to you, there are many unimaginable beings out there and the world is in chaos. ”
“…… You mean the world I live in? ”
“The world you live in is only a part of it. In fact, there are worse places. Anyway, since we don't have time, let's go back to the first question. You are Kang Woohyuk and at the same time a different person. ”
“By any chance... am I Jean Kronos?" ”
“Gene Kronos? Well, technically, it's not Jean Kronos. But it doesn't really make a difference. The name Jean Kronos used to mean one great transcendent, but now it's more like a title than a name. ”
“What do you mean by that? ”
“Gene Kronos stands for tuner. There are so many Gin Chronos in the world. Gene Kronos, the first tuner to be chosen by the absolute long ago, has saved so many dimensions. Since then, everyone in the role of the tuner has been called Jean Kronos. Even if the name looks simple, it has a very big meaning, so there is a lot of connection just by being called that. ”
“No way, that's why... ”
“Yes, because you were both Kang Hyuk and Jean Kronos, things like that keep happening that you don't understand. ”
“How is that possible? And why did I become Jin Kronos at the same time as Kang Sung-hyuk? ”
Suhyuk asked towards him with a somewhat uplifted look.
“Whoa, easy. This isn't my choice. After Nyx had his accident, the Earth was split into countless dimensions unlike any other. Then it turned out that those who should have been the same were split up, too. So simply put, you and Jean Kronos are the same being, divided in dimensions into different beings. ”
“…… something is very complicated. ”
“Don't be complicated. Simply because you were Kang Hyuk and Jean Kronos, you were chosen by the transcendence system. You thought it was a coincidence that the transcendence system fell on you, but it did. ”
“Are you the one who sent me the transcendence system? ”
“I think I'm losing my mind. That's right, I did. ”
“Why did you send it to me? ”
“I sent you because I need your help. Hah, I actually don't like this kind of thing either. But I didn't know that being a master of a dimensional battlefield would give me until the day the dimensional manager did. ”
“Are you a god, then? ”
“You have no idea how many gods there are in the Great World. Well, on that basis, I'm a god, too. But I don't like big titles like that, so you just have to think of them as managers of dimensions. ”
“Manager… OK. Honestly, there's so much I don't understand, but let's just say I do... Why are you here now? ”
“I'm sorry, you think you're special, but you're just one of a lot of people to me. I'm so busy, he must have come looking for you. It's like an umbrella we built together while sending you the transcendence system. Of course, what I'm talking about here is a copy of my soul. ”
“Ah……. ”
After listening to him, Su-hyuk was able to once again recognize that he was in the Awakening Tower.
“Come on, we don't have much time. I forced myself on you, so I have to finish my work early. ”
The man slowly approaches Soohyuk with his horse.
“To do what? ”
“Ah, it's not exactly my job, it's yours. ”
“What can I do? ”
“Dream again. You'd already be having a wake-up call. But then you forget most of it after you've had it, because it was incomplete. So I'm going to help you have a real dream this time. ”
“Send the transcendence system... help me have complete awareness... Why are you helping me like this?" ”
“I told you before, didn't you hear me? I'm helping you because eventually you're gonna have to help me. ”
“Yes? What is that……. ”
“You already have the work of a tuner. It's probably something you can't get away with. I don't know if you've noticed, but you're already trying to strengthen your life's greatest goal. And yet he kept trying to hide his strength. Do you know why? The tuner usually tries to be strong by himself without anyone knowing it. It's like a tuner's duty. Being so strong that you can balance the dimensions...... This is the destiny that the tuner should carry on his shoulders for life. ”
“I just... …. ”
Soohyuk wanted to argue, but no matter what he thought, he was not wrong. In retrospect, since I got the transcendence system, I've been living exactly as the man said.
Soohyuk who was not interested in everything and only tried to be strong. Soohyuk was quite shocked the moment he realized it.
“Don't look so surprised. It's not someone controlling you, it's my natural destiny. ”
“It's a bit unfair, to be honest. ”
Suhyuk, who was listening to him, muttered with a bitter smile.
“There's no need to be unfair. You may be a little confused right now, but someday you're gonna be so happy you're a tuner. ”
“Is that a prophecy? ”
“I don't deal in prophecy and uncertainty. It's not a prophecy. It's just a definite fact. ”
“You sound like you've seen me in the future. ”
“What else can't you see? Of course, I don't mean to talk to you, but if I do, it's ridiculous to see your future. But just to make sure it's nothing, it's not enough to generate a minimum five-dimensional ultra-range causation rate that you can blow up. So if you have any questions about the future, just be patient. ”
“Who are you really? ”
“Do you think if you tell me my name, I'll know who I am? You don't know who I am, even if you hear my name. ”
“Then you can also tell me your title. ”
“I told you about the position. I'm the manager. I'm just the manager Kim Min-hyuk. This is me. I'm a Korean like you by the way...... but I'm not from the same dimension as you. Even if Korea is the same because it's the largest division in the world, just know that you and I make a huge difference. ”
“You're still the same Korean. It's so good to see you."
“If you want to be happy, you're welcome. But if we learn more about the Great Worlds later, we'll see how useless this is. ”
“Nice to meet you, though. ”
“Well, I guess I was just as innocent on your level. If we get a massacre later, it'll be worth a look. ”
“Asura? Can I have Asura? ”
When Suhyuk heard one very important word that he knew in his or Min-hyuk's words, he glanced and asked.
“Of course, Jean Kronos is a mess. Don't you think it's Jean Kronos? Now, follow me. I command you in the name of Jean Kronos. Strike the strings here and wipe out any enemies that stand in my way! Ah, Sue. D. Coming! ”
“In the name of Jean Kronos, I command you. Strike the strings here and wipe out any enemies that stand in my way! Ah, Sue. D. Coming! ”
As soon as Su-hyuk heard Min-hyuk's words, he listened to him. But nothing changed.
“Th-this is coming out? ”
“Puhahaha, of course not. Asura is now a true god. Only the first Gene Kronos can summon Asura to be a new transcendent. Oh, by the way...... If you can reach her, you might be able to get some" Scrap of the Living Dead "left by the Transcendent Azura, so look carefully. ”
Min-hyuk said with a big smile, and Su-hyuk seriously nodded his head, repeating the fragments of the stranger.
“Oh, the gossip got too long. We really don't have time for this. ”
Min-hyuk felt that he had almost reached the limit of time to hold Soo-hyuk here. Now was really the time to release the last blessing for Su-hyuk.
“Think of it as a simple experience. You don't have to worry about manipulating space-time so you can feel and experience everything firsthand. Once you get what you need, it'll bring you back to your time and space. Of course, it might be a lot longer than I thought...... But if I do, everything will feel like a rush when I wake up. Of course, you don't have to worry about flipping the table like last time, because I prepared it. No being in every dimension is better at manipulating space-time than I am. ”
Min Hyuk confidently said with a confident face, and placed his hand on Suhyuk's head. At that moment, Su-hyuk tried to ask Min-hyuk one last thing, but he did not allow Su-hyuk even that little time.
“You don't have to ask now, because you'll know when the time comes. ”
Instead, I didn't ask any questions, but he answered.
Kwaaaahhhhhh!
At the end of Min-hyuk's answer, the room made of light suddenly distorted and disappeared. And Soohyuk was drawn to a point where the space collapsed and disappeared.
