Chapter 483: Outer Celestial, Ubbo-Sathla (3)

Chapter 483: Outer Celestial, Ubbo-Sathla (3)

There was a being called <Great Mother> or Mother Nature. Primitive societies tended to perceive women as mystique due to their ability to conceive life. It was also the reason they were often associated with the moon and the earth, considered as the symbols of abundance and fertility, and even viewed as nature itself.

As those societies became more civilized over time, men began to play a more important role in survival with their physical strength. In turn, the depiction of women changed from being the subject of worship to the subject of conquest.

Perhaps the fall of <Great Mother> was fate. Despite creating the universe and conceiving lives, she was still abandoned, ending up with two different personalities. Even though one of them remained as a Celestial of safe birth and fertility, the other carried deep grudges and fury against the lives she had conceived.

Because <Great Mother> was no longer in her right mind, <Deus Ex Machina> and the others split her in half. Half of her was sealed deep in Eros so she could continue overseeing the cycle of life, and the other was thrown into Nyx, becoming an Outer Celestial who repeated destruction and <Extinction>.

That Outer Celestial was Ubbo-Sathla, a being who gave birth and destroyed various monsters without reason. She had a bottomless rage for life, but her love for it was just as immeasurable. Hence, she wished to make her monsters into proper living beings.

For her goal, Ubbo-Sathla continued to roam around Eros in search of her other half. It didnt matter if she merged with or destroyed her. She just wanted to find her and put an end to everything. However, she kept running into different versions of Lee Chang-Sun, causing her search to always end in failure. They either got stuck in a Rollback loop or doomed the Worldline they were in.

<Deus Ex Machina> is also technically using Ubbo-Sathla, Perkwunos bitterly said.

<Deus Ex Machina> had also punished <Great Mother> harshly for trying to ruin the universe she had created. Just like how Chang-Sun was stuck in samsara six hundred sixty-six times, Ubbo-Sathla had to spend the rest of her life in search of her other half.

So the fuckery were going through is all part of our <Punishment>, and the same goes for Ubbo-Sathla to? Were repeating this meaningless bullshit because of!

Be quiet, Chang-Sun interjected. He might hear you.

Bel-Marduks face darkened.

[<Deus Ex Machina> attempts to look into Nyx!]

[<Deus Ex Machina> cannot observe as he pleases because Eros laws of nature do not apply in Nyx.]

[<Deus Ex Machina> is frustrated because he cannot see what is going on right now.]

[<Deus Ex Machina>...]

[<Deus Ex Machina>...]

Even a great being like <Deus Ex Machina> wouldnt like to hear someone badmouthing him. Besides, he likely still thought that the Lee Chang-Suns had no idea what was going on.

Holding himself back from cussing out loud, Bel-Marduk frowned. So thats the whole truth?

Probably.

Who told you all about these?

Perkwunos, Chang-Sun answered.

Primordial Lightning Deity?

You know about him too? Is that what hes also called in your subconscious realm?

How can you trust!

Hes our Original.

Rendered speechless, Bel-Marduks eyes widened in surprise. In all his years, he never knew that.

Unlike us, he remembers his every life. He told me that our <Mark> is from his sin.

Bel-Marduk laughed feebly. Ha Hahaha

He had finally discovered the cause of his eternal suffering. Unfortunately, he also learned that he, Chang-Sun, Ubbo-Sathla, and everyone else were just puppets in this play. His feeling of hollowness soon turned into rage.

Bel-Marduk gritted his teeth. Now I really have to become an Emperor.

All his efforts thus far had been more like a struggle to escape from his fucking fate, but it was different now. A new barrel of oil was poured on the fire of his rage, which had been fading due to his exhaustion. However, his fury stemmed not only from the fact that there was a hidden culprit behind all this.

Bel-Marduk narrowed his eyes. Even if she isnt the Original, his baby sister is suffering. How can he neglect her?

<Deus Ex Machina>s relationship with Cha Ye-Eun infuriated him even more.

Thats just Perkwunos one-sided claim right now. Since he has no evidence, I have to look into this further, Chang-Sun said.

I know. There is no guarantee that our Original would want the same as us. He might have a secret design in his mind too.

Understanding the necessity of feigning ignorance in front of <Deus Ex Machina>, Bel-Marduk knew he had to control himself even once they had verified what they had heard.

What if she gave most of her power to her avatar?

Tiamats eyes gleamed coldly. Shes moving on her own with only a bit of power? Why in the world would she do that?

Even if Ubbo-Sathla could clone herself infinitely, losing her main body or core would still kill her. Nevertheless, she still made the risky gamble of giving her avatar most of her power and moving alone.

She seems to have a goal that she must fulfill despite all the risks, Chang-Sun answered.

Then

Yes, Im tracking her down now.

Good luck, Tiamat said.

Chang-Sun talked about tracking down Ubbo-Sathla as if it were nothing, but both he and Tiamat knew how dangerous such a task was. Since Ubbo-Sathlas goal was unclear and they had not even the tiniest bit of information about it, it wasnt easy to come up with a countermeasure, let alone discard all their original plan.

Nevertheless, he volunteered to take the risk anyway. Tiamat couldnt do anything but root for him. This was why she could never hate him even though she had grown vigilant around him for becoming far too prominent of a figure.

Thank you. Ill see you when I get back.

After Chang-Suns last message, Tiamat sent a divine telepathic message to Loki and Durga.

Can the two of you buy me a moment?

Loki and Durga simultaneously turned their heads to her. Tiamat was their best fighter, and they were neck and neck in this battle. Her absence from the fray would cause an issue.

However, this was also Tiamats first time asking for a favor from someone.

Thanks to Twilight, we now have a way to kill the Outer Celestial. Ill admit that its a gamble, but well be able to stop <Extinction> for good if we succeed.

Loki and Durga exchanged glances and soon nodded. Considering Tiamat had given them her word, there had to be a good reason behind her conviction.

Rummmmble!

Boom, boom, boom!

Loki and Durga simultaneously unleashed more power and flew at Ubbo-Sathla.

Thank you. Ill show you something quite interesting in return.

Tiamat spread her wings and ascended.

Rippp!

With the sound of her scales ripping, black energy spread out from her in every direction. As darkness circled her like a whirlwind, her Dragon eyes turned black, making them look like black pearls.

[The Celestial Primordial Evil Dragon has activated an Authority of her progenitor!]

The moment she used the Mother Terra Celestias power, the world around them responded. Darkness agglomerated in several masses and transformed into fangs around the divine ground.

Like a huge monster, the fangs of darkness tried to devour Ubbo-Sathlas tentacles, blurring the line between the sky and the earth,

Having decided to eat Ubbo-Sathlas entire outer shell, Tiamat felt as if she was getting closer to becoming an Emperor.

*

With his [Gnostic Eye] wide open, Chang-Sun tracked down Ubbo-Sathlas main body, eventually finding a coordinate in Eros. Even if they didnt specify a Worldline number, returning to Eros from Nyx would still require a considerable amount of Causality.

However, Chang-Sun had the golden key. With ease, he made a door in the air.

[Space-Folding to the next area!]

Thanks to the key, Chang-Sun and Bel-Marduk arrived at a place that they were familiar with.

Honnnnk!

Cars and people busily came and went. Some of the drivers honked their horns.

Is this Seoul?

Standing in the middle of a road, Chang-Suns and Bel-Marduks eyes widened.

[You have entered the Worldline #801 Server Earth!]
