Chapter 434: Star, Taurus (9)

What is that? Chang-Suns face darkened.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Each of the tentacles was several kilometers long and was as large as a building, but their grotesque appearance wasnt the only thing that bothered Chang-Sun. An Anomaly, an Abomination Chang-Sun wasnt any different when he activated [Prelatis Spellbook].

The problem was the various emotions that the tentacles exuded. Despair, fear, chaos, eerieness, ominousness, madness they were spreading all sorts of dark emotions in the form of whirlpools. Ordinary mortals would have gone insane just by looking at themno, they werent the only ones the tentacles could affect.

Wh-what in the world?!

An Outer Celestial!

Why is a Great Ancient here?!

Arrrghh! My eyes! My eyes are rotting away! Someone help me!!!

The Celestials with relatively low Divine Classes fell to the ground, screaming and grabbing onto their heads. Those who met the Outer Celestials eyes directly had theirs burst, causing them to shed tears of blood.

Hehe. Hehehehe. Where am I? Where is this place? Wait, who am I? Who am I!!!!!

Others went insane or disintegrated, their Divine Classes having fallen to pieces. Weakened by [Gaias Curse], they no longer had the strength to withstand the encounter with the Outer Celestial.

Whirl!

However, what shocked Chang-Sun the most was the fact that not even [Gaias Curse worked on the tentacles. On the contrary, as they descended, they traveled through and waved the fog of [Gaias Curse] away with ease.

That Outer Celestial is different from ordinary Celestials, Odin said as if he read Chang-Suns mind. Chang-Sun turned his head, he found Odins [Gnostic Eye] blazing up with anger. We live inside the Great Universe, so our karma is equivalent to our value and the evidence of our existence. Accumulating enough karma creates <Myths>, and from <Myths> we collect Faith. We then use Faith to activate Authorities. That is why we and the others are vulnerable to the Mother Terra Celestials primordial curse.

Odins anger soon turned into fury resembling a violent ocean wave that could sweep away the whole world.

But Outer Celestials are different. They live outside the Great Universe. They dont have <Myths> of their own and dont need Faith, Concepts, or Authorities because they already existed long before the Great Universes creation. Their entire being is incomprehensible.

That is who the Great Ancients, Ancient Rulers, and Outer Celestials are, he continued through gritted teeth.

Chang-Sun wasnt sure why Odin was angry at Outer Celestials, but Odin looked angrier than when he ran into Michael and Satan, the destroyers of <Asgard>.

No, this isnt fury. This is Chang-Sun observed Odin. ... Revulsion.

He wasnt sure about Odins reason, but it was clear that Odin found all existing Outer Celestials disgusting.

Thats an Outer Celestial? Chang-Sun frowned.

He had never been outside the Great Universe, so he didnt know much about Outer Celestials. Mephistopheles was the only Outer Celestial he had ever met. Counting indirect encounters would only add Hsan, whom he saw in Ithacas memory, to the list.

However, when Chang-Sun visited the Changgong Library and accumulated gnosis, he learned some secrets about the Great Universes creation and how to distinguish Nys territory from Eros. While Eros faction became the Great Universes laws of nature by following <Supreme Light>, the Nyxs faction, which served <Dull Darkness>, existed as the Great Universes environment.

Chang-Sun was roughly aware of who Outer Celestials, Nyxs representatives, were. However, he had never seen records of an Outer Celestial with such an appearance.

Dont limit your thinking to what you already know, Odin sneered, seeing through Chang-Sun again. Your knowledge, common sense, standards Theyre above all of that and more. They can come and go as they please, sometimes even appearing out of nowhere. If they were bound by the laws of nature, I wouldnt have called them incomprehensible.

Chang-Sun finally understood why Odin loathed Outer Celestials. Its because he cant understand them.

Odin was a warrior and a wizard, but he was also an academic who wished to gain every existing knowledge and rise above the laws of nature. Using the gnosis he had accumulated, Odin observed and assessed everything within the Great Universe until he finally understood everything inside it.

However, it was different for Outer Celestials, Ancient Rulers, and Great Ancients. They couldnt be understood or explained. Their incomprehensibility made them Odins natural enemies.

[An unknown intrusion has been detected!]

[Activating a Firewall.]

[Failed!]

[The security system has been issued the highest-level alert, activating a Level 9 Firewall and an anti-virus program.]

[Error! The attempt has failed!]

[Error! The attempt has failed!]

[A system error has neutralized all defense systems!]

[The <Management Bureau> has declared a state of emergency!]

[All the barriers in the Central Divine Ground Star Palace have been destroyed!]

[The Celestials have been thrown into chaos!]

Loud, creepy howls shattered all the laws of nature around the Star Palace like glass.

Everyone, run!

When the Outer Celestials tentacles searched for new prey, the seraphim and demon kings quickly scattered to avoid them.

[Despair is descending!]

Angels? Demons? Star Signs? Celestials? Transcendental beings were helpless prey in the face of that colossal catastrophe.

God of gods! Sadalmelik, the one who summoned the Outer Celestial, was the only one lost in bliss. I prepared a feast for you! Help yourself! Enjoy! Bring <Extinction> to this Worldline!

Sadalmelik had gone completely insane. With madness overpowering her rationality, she was driven to consume her <Myth> combustion potion, use Chiron and Castor as sacrificial offerings, and summon the Outer Celestial.

Oooooo!

At that moment, one of the tentacles, covered in circles that looked like suckers, passing above Sadalmelik stopped moving and slithered toward her. Its tip then split into four and opened up, revealing something black and eye-like.

You. Called. Me.

Oooooooong.

A flood of unrefined energy and information poured out, almost blowing away Sadalmeliks mind. However, it only made her laugh harder, proud of the greatness of the Outer Celestial she had summoned!

Thats right! I called you here! Sadalmelik exclaimed, praying to the being more divine than gods. As per our agreement, please protect me from the danger of annihilation, and make me like

I. Asleep. You. Woke. Me. Forcibly.

Sadalmelik abruptly stopped, sensing unexpected annoyance from the Outer Celestial.

Fly. Should. Die.

The tentacle extended and struck Sadalmeliks head like a whip.

Our contract! Please follow the contract! This isnt what we agreed on! Sadalmelik countered, finally realizing that something had gone wrong.

Her madness vanished, replaced by bewilderment. As the tentacle drew closer, her bewilderment changed into fear.

I was told that you would turn me into an Outer Celestial If I gave you sacrificial offerings!

Thuuuuud!

A thunderous sound muffled Sadalmeliks scream.

Contract.

The information and energy that the Outer Celestial released through their tentacle reverberated in the area.

I. No. We. Not. Need. Such. Thing.

[The Celestial Aquarius has become a sacrificial offering!]

Crunch, crunch.

Just like what they had done to the other Celestials, the Outer Celestial sucked out every bit of Sadalmeliks <Myths>. Every time the tentacle undulated, those watching the scene turned paler. Even a Zodiac couldnt do anything against them.

Everyone.

Despite having already eaten away Sadalmeliks <Myths> and the bodies of Chiron and Castor, Outer Celestial still hadnt had enough yet. While slowly pulling out their tentacles from the ground, their eyes wandered until they found Chang-Sun, Odin, and Bel-Marduk.

Must. Eat. Everyone. Hungry.

Whirl!

The Outer Celestials tentacles lashed out toward Chang-Sun, Tiamat, Michael, and Satan, their goal to devour the Star Palace, Arcadia, and this Worldline.
