The Skill Maker

[Agrees. Pluto also asks for a detailed explanation.]

[Hahahaha. Don't rush me. Kahama, Pluto. I'm going to explain everything to you guys soon. Oh, why don't you have a cup of tea before that? a fairly delicious tea made by burning one of the plant species of the seventh universe. It's hard to taste anywhere else in the universe except here.]

Berkus pulls out two chairs on the table to make room.

How should I say this?

So you're treating me like a guest in your own way? ...For some reason, I felt quite strange, but I thought that getting a cup of tea wouldn't be bad in the context.

It is much more advantageous for us to take advantage of our current position than to force ourselves away from him anyway. In other words, by playing somebody who hates somebody admirably, I was going to identify the strange relationship between them and use it against them. I never dreamed this would happen.

As a result

I sat down with Pluto at a table with a galaxy spread out.

Literally. The table was shining in the shape of the universe as if it were alive. A curious sight of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of galaxies. It even felt like a huge hologram screen was made into a table.

[Oh, just in case. Never break or scratch the table. It's the 12th model of the universe that we've tested. But there are countless artificial creatures living in it. Be careful.]

purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl

The sound of pouring tea into a teacup.

And when I heard Berkus, Plutona and I were astonished.

No, Pluto doesn't know, but I'm certainly surprised.

What the hell is going on here? What are you talking about?

So this is a model of the 12th universe?

Wasn't there definitely seven universes?

I remember hearing it like that's what I heard.

Swoosh.

I slowly lifted my head and looked around.

Come to think of it, there were scenes similar to tables everywhere.

A strange place where dark and mysterious forces and starlight coexist.

A place where countless galaxies breathe, which is likely to pour out upwards.

Underfoot, the earth is transparently visible to the planetary system at the apex of the universe.

A heterogeneous and special world that feels like it exists in the middle of the universe.

So this is all the universe?

Crazy. Then what the hell is this place?

From looking down, it seems certain that this is a place that exists near the planetary system. But it was questionable who was able to create such a beautiful and mysterious place. The purpose is doubtful and the word artificial universe is also questionable.

But one view was really impressive.

If it weren't for these black and unpleasant energy hovering around your feet, you might have enjoyed coming here with a little comfort.It's like a palace of ice universe made of galaxies and clear glass.

Berkus giving a cup of tea to me and Pluttona.

And he sat face to face with us, and his eyes glistened calmly.

Certainly no longer reveals any particular hostility to us.

This is a space called Hasstelia. It's like the roof of the universe where you can see the whole planet and the whole universe. And we've been here for a long time. From nothing to yu, from yu to brother, from brother to god.]

Radish? You? Brother? God?

What are you talking about?

[What nonsense is that?] I'd like you to explain it in more detail.]

a continuous tone of voice

I no longer treated somebody as a commander in chief of somebody's army. He was dealing with the existence of Berkus, just playing a hateful kahama. Therefore, there was no reason to treat him with respect. He didn't seem to care.

[It's literally meaning] In other words, he gained his own image from something that did not exist, and went on to become a god after having self and appearance. In other words, we are now a colony, a huge fateful community. The self and existence are all different, but they are firmly rooted in a single origin. That's what we are.]

a story that is becoming more and more puzzling

Different self and existence, but rooted in the same origin?

What the hell are you playing with words?

Are you playing twenty questions with me now?

We? Community? Origin? I don't understand what you're talking about. You've been following from a distant past. The life you've earned after him would easily exceed hundreds of millions. Are you talking about following another cause now? It's not this kind of pre-question and answer that this kahama wants to share with you. Why on earth are you antagonizing somebody? What is your main purpose? That's all I'm curious about.]

Berkus with a deep smile.

But I knew exactly how intense the power of unparalleled power was inside him. To be honest, my heart is pounding even now. The fact that I'm jumping off the stage that he's prepared, not my plan. That alone feels like tension is rising to the throat.

But he said with his own mouth.

Why don't you join him as a colleague?

Not Suha, but colleagues.

This subtle choice of words, ie I was judging that there was a solution between the two Maginot lines to break through this situation. So, in the crevice of the narrow gap, continued to do the sword dance like a madman. Maintain equilibrium so that it does not lean against either side.

[...you've turned quite cocky after taking off the commander's mask, Kahama. Hahahaha...! That's good. The existence of [fear] is more precious than anything. This would be fine if you could take him as a colleague. There's no use for a guy who doesn't have any negative feelings in the first place.]

Negative feelings?

[Then I will tell you our true purpose from now on. However, there is one condition before explaining the most important part.]

[Conditions?]

Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

smiling and poking one's hand into one's chest

And at the same time, the red blood that bounces. I twisted my face at the back of my hand, watching the blood of Berkus flowing down to the table. Look at this crazy guy. Have a good meal. What's wrong with you? The self-harm level is so high in Andromeda that it's ridiculous.

but

The one Berkus took out after a while.

It was of a more serious kind than I imagined.

Most of all, I've seen it only a few days ago.

This is crazy.

[First swallow this. That's the condition I put on. The moment you swallow this, you become our companion.]

What he put before his eyes.

It was just the black, bobbing mass of evil.

The dark matter that dominated my spirit of losing my lover with madness.

the same thing that polluted something from

A dark, lumpy energy reminiscent of black smoke.

'Crazy...! Why is this coming out of here all of a sudden?'

Did he notice my hesitation?

Berkus pulled my arm and put it on the palms of the lizard.

Then he smiled with a calm expression.

[Don't worry too much. Swallowing this doesn't mean you'll lose yourself forever. This will just slightly magnify the amount of negative energy that exists in you. And in return, we'll use one powerful force.]

What? You're zooming in on negative energy a little negative energy?

The crazy guy just dropped out of his mouth.

Choi Min-hyuk knows best what happens when he eats this.

I've got all the memories I lost with my skills.

I glared at Berkus coldly with a discontented look.

[...Void? I can't believe you swallowed this. Are you out of your mind?]

[Ho?]

Berkus with his eyes slightly raised.

The look on his face clearly showed a sense of surprise.

[Did you know who this was?] He's the commander of the 10th Corps. Wise and smart. You have a wide range of knowledge as you are.]

You're talking nonsense.

You're trying to eat something like Dark Matter.

You think I'm going to be panicking with compliments?

A sneer flows out of itself at an ill-advised trick.

[Cut the crap out, Berkus. I, too, have watched with my eyes the past and use this power. He used his power to defeat one of the 72 monarchs. But didn't you end up completely insane in return? ...And yet, are you going to make me swallow this material that's made me crazy even now?]

Berkus slightly distorted his face.

A cold voice colors the atmosphere.

[One knows and the other doesn't, Kahama. This is completely different in purity itself from the void that encroached on Armudor. In other words, it is not such a dangerous substance.]

[Hmph! That's funny. How the hell do I believe what you're saying?]

[...to rip your mouth off at once, not to force it to be eaten. Doesn't that just make sense?]

Is it a threat after the conciliatory?

What a know-it-all you are. Your karma is thick.

[Something seems to be going wrong again...] Armudor was consumed with madness by emptiness? Of course it was for a very short time at first. But then Armudor changed everything completely with his own hands. If it had been so easy to erode him by force, the situation would have ended without coming this far.]

Erosion?

You're saying things wouldn't have come this far?

I feel something's wrong with Nuance.

Erosion was easy?

That's it?

[What the hell does that even mean?] I often don't understand you at all.]

a meaningful line which complicates one's mind

When I was inferring the situation from his words.

Berkus continued.

[ literally meaning, kahama] is out of control of something. He's obviously corrupt and uses his power freely-- but the way he works is qualitatively different from ours. He's the real one. Even the power of madness and negative darkness is the one and only thing that completely controls it.]

continuous questioning

There must be something beyond this curiosity.

Berkus was still dodging his words around.

He continued his words again.

[Anyway, it's all over the place. Swallow this, kahama. Swallow this void and I'll tell you all the truth and our purpose. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our paths. I'll let you know everything. And as I said before, it's different from normal, so even if you take it, there won't be any problem. We don't want to be [bold] who can't control our own emotions.]

[......]

Black energy wriggling on the palm.

It looks like I'm going to throw up just by looking at it.

Oh, shit! You want me to get this thing in my mouth?

Who knows what's going to happen if you eat this?

I'm freaking out.'

Ha. Ji. Only.

after a very short period of time

I'm slow.

Very slowly I changed my mind.

How? Exactly the opposite.

The third force (1) over.
