Chapter 492: Star Fragments (2)

Chang-Sun froze up. Hes us from a different Worldline?

Thats right.

How could you have hidden that from me until now?

I wasnt doing it on purpose. He was supposed to be! Bel-Marduk answered.

Dont blame him. The Lee Chang-Suns from Worldline #132, 599, and 856 thought I was dead, Asclepius suddenly said, catching Chang-Suns and Bel-Marduks attention. Asclepius faintly smiled and continued, Oh no. Did I interrupt your conversation?

Chang-Sun quickly pulled out the [Twilight Spear] from his inventory, thinking, He isnt weaker than us.

The fact that Ascle had eavesdropped on the telepathic conversation meant that he had hacked their divine power patterns, indicating the level of his control of divine power and Divine Class. Besides, Chang-Sun had never seen Bel-Marduk so tense.

Dont worry, Number 132 Wait, you prefer Bel or Marduk, dont you? So, Bel it is. Im happy to meet you again after a while, so Ill call you by that name. Anyway, as I said, dont worry. Im in a good mood right now. Ascle giggled.

Chang-Sun was unsure what was going on in Ascles head.

I gave up on everything and have been obediently staying locked up in this prison, but I suddenly became free when I didnt even ask for it! On top of that, the person who made that possible is an old acquaintance, so Im very happy! Hahaha. Ascle burst into laughter, slicking back his tousled hair.

At that moment, Chang-Sun realized that he could not read anything from Ascle.He thought, Its because of his madness.

Ascle did not seem to be in his right mind. When Chang-Sun took a second look, he saw that Ascles [Gnostic Eyes] were completely clouded with obsession, greed, and madness. The problem was that Bel-Marduk was more tense over time, despite how he had not been afraid even while going up against Ubbo-Sathla.

So Ascle stopped laughing and said, Ill eat you.

Paaah!

Ascle vanished, then reappeared right in front of Bel-Marduk.

Claaaang!

Chang-Sun stepped in between them, quickly parrying an attack from Ascles staff with his [Twilight Spear].

Pull yourself together! Chang-Sun roared, bringing Bel-Marduk back to reality.

Ascle laughed more wickedly, his mouth reeking. Hahaha! Oh yeah. Youre here too! Its my first time meeting you. Did Bel-Marduk bring you? Where are you from? Worldline #857? 858?

Whirl!

Ascle swung his staff in the air, aiming for Chang-Suns waist. In response, Chang-Sun quickly pulled out the four slayer swords from the [Kings Treasury]. [Balmung] blocked Ascles attacks, while [Gram] and [Nothung] flew toward Ascles chest like arrows.

You seem to be from somewhere pretty close. Didnt you eat up all the Worldlines around your Worldline, Bel? Ascle remarked as he spun like a top.

He created a storm that blew away [Gram] and [Nothung], while also extending his leg to trip Chang-Sun. [Trollsverd] flew toward Ascles leg to stop him, however. As Ascle slightly retreated backward to dodge [Trollsverd], Chang-Sun closed in on him and fiercely swung the [Twilight Spear].

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chang-Suns attacks were heavily infused with Rdus Duskfall. Every time he pierced the air, it left behind a hole with a resounding thunderclap, and powerful lightning ripples spread out from the holes.

However, Ascle handled the attacks without difficulty. Dodging the attacks by twisting at bizarre angles, he closed in on Chang-Sun to attack him instead. He leaped around like a monkey while searching for Chang-Suns weak point like a snake. The way Ascle quickly ran around and swung his staff resembled a bird too, letting him deliver truly unpredictable attacks.

Hes using his [Gnostic Eyes] too flexibly, Chang-Sun thought.

Perhaps because he had two of them, Ascle was seeing several moves ahead of Chang-Sun with his [Gnostic Eyes]. Most of Chang-Suns attacks were blocked, allowing Ascle to counterattack. The only reason Chang-Sun was keeping pace was his Rdus, but Ascle would finish analyzing Chang-Suns Rdus and Duskfall at some point, which meant those two techniques would stop working on him.

How could Bel-Marduk fail to defeat Ubbo-Sathla even though he had this man? Chang-Sun wondered.

Booooom!

The collision between the [Twilight Spear] and Ascles staff spread powerful shockwaves everywhere.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

[The Outer Celestial Harbinger yells that he heard a noise outside just now!]

Damn it! Chang-Sun gritted his teeth.

To Chang-Suns surprise, Ascle had wasted a lot of their valuable time. As Chang-Sun could sense that the Eight Gods of Disorder were approaching in his direction, he needed to find a way to lose Ascle.

Ascle would no doubt never let them go, and would cling on to them like a leech. For some reason, Bel-Marduk was terrified of Ascle, whose Divine Class was a lot higher, so throwing Ascle off track was not an option in the slightest.

Of course, there was still a way out of the situation. Chang-Sun had been thinking about it from the beginning, but had not tried it because of the risk involved. However, he would be able to fulfill Ubbo-Sathlas wish if he succeeded.

Bel-Marduk. Chang-Sun sent another telepathic message.

Hmm? Didnt I tell you that I can hear you? You know, I think it would be better to decide as soon as possible. Otherwise, everything will be over. Ascle sneered at Chang-Sun, tilting his head.

However, Chang-Sun did not care one bit. Bel-Marduk also looked at Chang-Sun, unsure of his plan.

Theres a way to meet him, so help me, Chang-Sun continued.

Him? Who is that? Ascle frowned, thinking that something he was unaware of was going on.

As Chang-Sun nodded at him, Bel-Marduk let out a sigh after instinctively realizing what Chang-Sun meant.

Buy me time.

Bel-Marduk was unsure whether it was the right move, but he had to do something, as he did not want to be dragged back to the prison without a fight.

Boooooom!

[The Celestial Taurus has activated the Authority Namtillaku!]

Swoooosh!

Releasing lightning sparks, Bel-Marduk flew at Ascle, who frowned. The moment they collided

Rummmble!

a lightning storm spread out and swept across the area.

[The Celestial Pure Good has descended!]

[The Celestial Pure Evil has descended!]

Metatron and Baal were engulfed in the lightning storm right after their descent.

Huuuh? What is this now?!

Aphoom-Zhah was swept away in the storm too, becoming bewildered. Powerful energy waves raged everywhere, so he could not tell anyone apart. Of course, Aphoom-Zhah only had to recalibrate his senses and was able to recover in a flash, but that was all Chang-Sun needed to shove the <Star Fragment> into his mouth.

[Commiting the Taboo Celestial Cannibalism!]

Perhaps because the <Star Fragment> was the concentration of numerous <Star Fragments>, Chang-Sun felt a strong impact on his Divine Class. A vast amount of energy stirred up his insides, filling him with numerous peoples memories. However, he remained unfazed and tried to contain everything in his Divine Class A storm of his Divine Class almost burst out from him, but he directed it toward the tip of the [Twilight Spear], which shook violently as if it would break down at any moment

H owl.

With Chang-Suns [Wordwielding] command, an immense amount of power was infused into the [Twilight Spear].

Oooooong!

Even Chang-Sun, who was wielding the power, lost his balance for a moment. Shortly after, he thrust the spear as hard as he could toward the floor where he was standing.

Boooooooom!

With an enormous explosion, a huge hole appeared in the ground, and cracks spread all across the horizon outside the tower.

Rummmmble!

N-Nooo!

You lunatic!

Metatron and Baal screamed after belatedly realizing what Chang-Sun was doing, but what was done was done. Cracks grew wider, revealing a deep valley where Rlyeh lay sleeping.

[You have found the Towers hidden underground floor!]

[Rlyeh has appeared!]
