Chapter 340 - Extra Chapter 1 – VIP Member Information Viewing (4)
He thought this world would originally be like that, but this was beyond that mark. Looking down, the land underneath him expanded and caught his eyes after he had gone through the door.
“Are you god?”
How much time had passed before the tour, which was both a moment and an eternity, was finished? When Kang Shin-hyuk, liberated after literally looking over all of the world of Undon, spoke in an exhausted voice, Shu’s... No, Orchiena’s father (that was her real name, Shu was only a nickname) laughed.
“You’re still not using your abilities properly. If you’ve made up your mind, couldn’t you use this power as much as you want not only here, but in your own world?”
“That’s... maybe so.”
The voices of Shu’s parents echoed in his mind when they were outside, but after entering their home, they began to converse normally.
“I became a transcendent in a tight spot, yet my senses are close to an ordinary mortal’s.”
“Well, it was nice to invite you too. If you stay that way, you may have a very bad influence on other beings.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Were they trying to say that if you were transcendent, don’t interact with mortals like one? Kang Shin-hyuk’s expression sharpened, but he soon recovered his composure. He knew they didn’t invite him here just because they wanted bracelets similar to the one Orchiena had. And, now that he had become transcendent, he couldn’t be swept away by his emotions so easily.
“Maybe you are feeling it to some extent. Have you refrained from meeting with the general public since you became such a being?”
It was Orchiena’s mother who asked that. Kang Shin-hyuk nodded.
“Yes. It’s also because I didn’t want others to lean on my existence. I was advised by another transcendent person.”
Tsukuyo and Janus were the ones who gave him that advice. Tsukuyo had been sincerely saying that he could influence the world just by being there, so he had to know the weight of his steps. Janus had mentioned Chiral and advised him of the reactions he could cause. Since he could understand what they had said, he accepted their words and was hiding in his home.
“You have good acquaintances. They’re right. That’s what we’re trying to say. Transcendent people cause countless phenomena only by their existence, which is why controlling your abilities is important. Moreover, you seemed to have mastered the ability to interact with all things.”
“I didn’t want to say it this way. It can be said to be the nemesis of us. It could immediately detect and stop any interference in causality.”
“Well.”
The Heavenly Dragon’s power to rise above the sky and grasp all phenomena, dominate, and control was beyond merely interacting with them. In fact, after awakening, he realized how Orchiena’s power came to fruition, and he knew if he wanted to, he could find where her ability began and cut it off. However, there was no reason to do that, and he hadn’t mentioned it in case it depressed her.
“What, grandfather! Is that possible?! Then our children would be completely invincible!”
However, her response was the opposite of what he expected.”
“Shu, stop that.”
“Now you know my real name so that you can call me Ena!”
He thought she was obsessed with her ID, but that wasn’t it. However, he wondered if using her real name had some special meaning, especially when he saw her parents smiling and laughing while they watched.
“Yes, then, how about Ena?”
“Yes!”
“It’s a good nickname that seems like you’d be good at spearing and kicking.”
“Huh?”
“Then, shall we get back to it?”
“Ah, yes.”
Ena’s mother coughed.
“Probably so. Even though you’ve become transcendent, you are still not using your abilities properly.”
“Because there are people who are affected by it.”
“Your ability is naturally controlled, not suppressed.”
In his free time, he was using his energy to make weapons by himself in his My Room, after all.
“That’s why we invited you. To help the rookie, who has an impact on our world, to control his power properly.”
“Don’t you feel something in this room? If you learn it here, controlling your abilities will be easier from then on.”
“But this world...”
“You’ve already felt it, right? This world diffusely reflects every force’s action. The distinction between time and space is ambiguous, and all force isn’t distributed. Even the price for reversing causality.”
Indeed, so the Setula lived in this world? They had settled in Undon to reduce the side effects of their ability as much as possible, and as they gradually used their abilities in it, the power of the world itself grew. It was inevitable since it was cut off from the outside. If some of the laws that made up this world influenced the world outside, it would cause an incomparable disaster.
“Then, this mansion...”
“That’s right. It’s blocking the power of this world. After spending time here, you’ll be able to move freely outside.”
“Hmm, until then, you’ll stay here. After that, I want you to accept our request.”
Their gaze had been stuck on the hair bracelet as they spoke. Kang Shin-hyuk had to hold back laughter as their appearance didn’t match their serious tones.
“Thank you for the great opportunity. I’ll make your bracelets.”
“Really?! Oh, but it’ll take time to deal with that ability. There is no need for impatience.”
“Well, yes, I see.”
Kang Shin-hyuk didn’t disagree with their words. The way he had dealt with his abilities so far was through combat and production. However, despite his confidence in his talent, he couldn’t go against what the two suggested.
“Then we’ll wait in another room.”
“Huh, do I have to go too? I want to play with my grandfather!”
“You keep saying you have such a young man as a grandfather?”
“You’ve no conscience, Orchiena.”
“Dad... It’s been a while...”
A dispute broke out as Kang Shin-hyuk focused.
“I think both should go.”
“Yep.”
Kang Shin-hyuk was already concentrating, so he didn’t even notice them leaving. Although his ability was the Heavenly Dragon, he had never experienced the feeling of rising above the sky to contemplate the earth. In that sense, those two’s experiences could’ve already said to be an indispensable help to him. Perhaps their ability to omit causality included even predictions of the future?
‘Let’s concentrate.’
In this world, he had no need to worry about the reaction of force. He opened his power, which he had limited so far, and sent his mind to the sky, just as Orchiena’s father had. The main thing was imagination and confidence. He had just experienced it, so he could vividly recall that sensation.
‘...Seems to be. Faster than he said, ...No, maybe a lot of time has already passed outside.’
His sight flashed quickly, and he felt he had reached the air, as high as he could. His spiritual power resonated with all external energy and received information from them, analyzing it, and transmitted it. He had a strong conviction he would be able to freely change everything in the world by using his Heavenly Dragon.
‘It’s my strength... It’s a really violent force.’
It was different from what Orchiena’s father showed. Now that he controlled his energy himself, he rose above the sky to contemplate all below it. He wasn’t just looking at every corner of the world; he was able to grasp and control them all fully.
‘I used my strength to the fullest before, but... is it? I’m not a Heavenly Dragon for nothing. When the viewpoint changes, everything else does as well.’
He had a similar feeling in creating the Hero Universe. At that time, he had to receive Shin Eunah’s help to energize the world and make the system run forever. But now, he realized he didn’t have to. No, paradoxically, Shin Eunah had to be there. If he had completed the Hero Universe this way, he would’ve been able to interfere with the Hero Universe more than now.
‘And conversely, I can hold my strength in check because there is the current Hero Universe.’
His actions had been right at the time. Had he realized this potential, he might’ve unconsciously intervened in completing the Hero Universe. The Heavenly Dragon contemplated the earth from the sky. The harmony created by his enormous spiritual power and Heavenly Dragon, which contained his spirit, captured all beings living in the world of Undon. The other Setulas, who had heard about the visitors, noticed his strength. And before he came back, he also noticed Loki, a guest who had visited in a somewhat ignorant way.
“Ah...!”
Loki, who felt the power of the dragon to interact with and contemplate everything, raised his head and opened his mouth.
“I had a feeling from the start... Oh, do I have to commit a taboo when this happens?”
He really didn’t want to do it, but if he wanted to succeed in the dragon’s generation...!
[No, just thinking about it is terrible, so don’t imagine that.]
“Ah?!”
He raised his head at the voice of Kang Shin-hyuk, which seemed to resonate with his mind. Above the sky, a giant heavenly dragon was looking straight at him.
[I think I can help you in a different way, so don’t change and wait. Okay?]
“Hey, but if I change my mind and do...”
[Don’t.]
“Uh, sorry.”
Kang Shin-hyuk had succeeded in grasping and controlling his traits.
It was a feat that he managed to accomplish in just one day after coming to Undon.
