The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 257

[Namgoong… Is that right?]

Galan, the one who handles the hearth, looked at Namgoong with a puzzled expression at Yor’s words.

[There was definitely something strange. No matter how much he has great abilities as a returner, he has not experienced the world of Aspects…]

[Too strong.]

[Who is the author?]

[The only human who has watched the carnival for longer than our current Eight Aspects. .]

Yor briefly answered their questions.

[It is Lu.]

[Could it be… the first mortal born between Lan and Wu? Why is he here?]

[I had it. His soul.]

[…Why?]

Graciel, Mother of the Breeze, frowned at Yor’s answer.

[Everyone will know. Who was the one who brought him down from paradise to this world? He gave birth to mankind and then committed suicide.]

[Are you sure this is an apology for that? The seven snakes are the sources of all desires that exist in the world. You felt sorry for dealing with that?]

[That’s not like you. How about being honest instead? Isn’t there a purpose for hiding him all this time?]

[Hmph, it’s obvious! Who knows that you are trying to remove the original Aspects and take their place?]

Listening to the Aspects’ criticism, Yor shook his head with a bitter expression.

[Have you never thought it was strange?]

[What…?]

[As the dimension was born and continued, our phases were also destroyed and born. We just feel like we are immortal as memories are passed down.]

[What is that? As times change, throwing away one’s old body and being born anew is a life of stature.] Yor

shook his head at Galan’s answer.

[Then what about those two? Why are they, the oldest aspects, unchanging and eternal? Just because it was sealed because of us?]

He chuckled.

[No.]

That laugh was so cold.

[Because only those two are true gods.]

Quaaaaang—!!

At that moment, Galan struck the bars imprisoning him with a hammer.

Cheeeeeek…!!!

When the red-burning head of the hammer touched the frozen grate, white smoke spewed out.

[shut up! Yor!!]

[The difference between the original phase and our eight phases is that we disappear over time.]

Yor spoke even more clearly as he looked at the growling Galan.

[Like ‘human’.]

He turned his head and spoke to Leah, the Wanderer of the Four Seasons.

[Loosen the bars.]

[Are you okay?]

[I’ve said this much, but if you don’t understand, you don’t deserve your status.]

Leah nodded with worried eyes.

When the bars disappeared, Yor slowly walked towards the three Aspects.

[It means that the soul of Lu is contained in the southern palace over there. It’s Lu who is fighting the Aspects now, and now you know why he’s stronger than us.]

[What nonsense…]

[There’s no way you couldn’t understand what I said, since you’re smart enough to use alchemy. What you should ask is something else. How can Lu be stronger than us?]

Gulp –

Galan swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

This was because anxious thoughts were already weighing down his mind.

[Could it be that we… were born from Lu?]

[…!!!!]

The other two Aspects were astonished at his answer.

[Galan! What nonsense are you talking about! We were only born to humans?!]

[You must be crazy too!!]

They protested, but Galan said nothing more.

[Before the original phase split into Ran and Wu, a being called Lu was born from the Perfect Aspect, and along with that, the Perfect Aspect split into Ran and Wu.]

Yor continued.

[After that, it is as you know. Ran and Wu started creating a world. Day, night, rain, wind, life, death… and it was all for Lu.]

[….]

[It was thought that the world would be peaceful forever, but in fact, that time did not last very long.]

[Lu’s It’s because of greed. He could live quietly in paradise… He fell into the abyss because he was greedy even in the realm of God.] [

Because greed is the basis of humanity.]

Yor smiled strangely at their answers.

[Is that really true? What if it’s the other way around?]

[The opposite…?]

[What if mortality is superior to immortality? What if they sent him into the abyss out of fear that he might be superior to them and that he might one day take over their place?]

[What nonsense are you saying… that the Aspects of the Beginning are swept up in such trivial emotions like humans?]

Galan I looked at Yor in disbelief.

[Because they are not perfect since they are divided from their perfect status. But Lu, who was born in perfect condition, was absolutely perfect. So the two Aspects came up with a plan to send Lu to a place where they could not reach him.]

[No way…]

Yor pointed at himself with his index finger.

[that’s right. That is the current human world. So I was born. An evil god created with all the negative thoughts of humans. And he is the one who brought Lu down here.]

And with that finger, he pointed to the remaining Aspects.

[You are what Lu created with royalties. Beings created to benefit the world by imitating the Aspect.]

[I can’t believe it… Are we really created from humans?]

[No matter how great Lu is, there are limits to imitating the Aspect’s power as long as he is a human. The more I continued to use it, the weaker its power became. That is why there is a difference in power between the phases.]

When creating the sun and moon, he poured out the most power, and in the process of creating the elements and cultivating nature, Lu’s power was gradually exhausted.

[And that’s why you and I are of different rank. Because I am the only one created by God.]

[Don’t be ridiculous…! Are you telling me to believe that now?!]

Breeze’s mother shouted at Yor.

[If you don’t want to believe it, don’t believe it. But one thing is certain. The fact is that Lu is stronger than you guys attacking him as a group.]

Yor looked at Namgung with his arms crossed.

[Lu plans to finish now. I plan to annihilate the two phases and truly bring an end to this long festival.]

[Good. Then why have you stayed quiet until now? If you were that strong, you would have been able to stop the carnival even before then, right?]

Yor shook his head.

[Because I needed a bowl. A vessel strong enough to contain Lu’s soul.]

[Then what about Leoric? He also tried to end the carnival. In my opinion, he was just as strong as Namgung, right?]

[That’s stupid… he was the revealer of Woo. Since the first button was already wrong, I can’t tell him about Lu’s existence.]

Graciel lowered her head with an expression of regret at Yor’s scolding.

[But thanks to Leoric’s work, I was more confident. [What I’m saying is that when Wu said he would end the carnival, it was never for the benefit of humanity, but rather a lie to become one with Ran.]

Yor continued.

[And Leoric realized that too and wanted revenge. I trapped his soul and waited for the next opportunity. I’m talking about a weirdo who doesn’t get swayed by both Lan and Wu and only believes in himself.]

Actually, I gave up about halfway.

Rather than rebelling against this ridiculous game called Carnival, the participants were anxious to survive.

But surprisingly, I met that weirdo.

Even though he is not a revealer, he came to himself on his own.

[It’s funny that I say this, but I was grateful to fate for the first time when he chose me over another guy. Because I thought it was the last opportunity given to me.]

Yor still couldn’t forget the day he first met Namgung.

Shock and joy. It was a day when I had expectations that I thought would never happen again.

[And thankfully, he was much more amazing than I expected and had a firm will.]

This is the result.

[Actually, what Ran and Wu said are not wrong. This world is unstable. Because it was a place to confine Lu from the beginning. Maybe if they become one, erase the current world and create a new one, a more perfect world may be created.]

But…

[I realized this while looking at humans. What is anxious has its own meaning as it is anxious. I plan to place my hopes on this unstable world.]

[Yor…]

The Aspects did not know how to respond, so they just chanted his name.

[It’s absurd… You, the person closest to death, are the most hopeful for the future among us.]

Graciel let out a low sigh.

[Don’t forget why Lu created you. The Mother of the Breeze was a being who ate the prayers and praises of humans and protected them.]

Yor placed his hand on her shoulder.

[Hana Carnival may have ruined us too. Graciel, at some point you became a god who feeds on human fanaticism and insanity.]

He passed her and walked toward the Aspects.

[We must change.]

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

It was then.

A strong explosion of sound erupted from where Ran and Wu were.

[Lu… I never thought you would use Namgung as a vessel to gain the power of status. Indeed, it is amazing that you, who were perfect even when you were mortal, have gained the power of a phase.]

Wu was strangling Lu, who was pinned to the floor.

[But in the end, your birth is mortal. Just like those idiots, the power of the phase is absolutely not immortal!!]

He shouted at Ran.

[Did you try to destroy me out of fear just because of something like this? They were all going to kill me anyway. Ran!! Offer your life to me!]

But unlike Wu, who shouted loudly, Ran just lowered her head.

“You’re still stupid. Woo (无) If we talk about birth, I am a being of perfect stature. “Aren’t you really imperfect beings?”

[Shut up!!]

“I think you’re the one who needs to be quiet, not me…”

Crying –!!

At that moment, the chain shook.

In an instant, the chains that bound Wu’s limbs fell to the ground, and his body was pushed backwards and bounced.

[Ugh…!!]

Woo struggled to break free of the chain, but the more he tried, the more the chain tightened around him.

[But there’s something I don’t understand. No matter how strong Lu is because he is a mortal created by the perfect Aspect… is it true that he is stronger than Lan and Wu?]

Ilayna, the widow of Thornvine, asked Yor as she saw Lu overwhelming the two Aspects.

[Like Wu said, Lu’s birth is ultimately mortal. In fact, it makes no sense to be stronger than those two immortal beings.]

[Then…?]

[The answer is Namgung.]

Yor smiled strangely at that moment.

[Because he did something no one could think of for thousands of years.]

Crying—!!

At that moment, the chain trembled as if answering his words.
