Chapter 493: Star Fragments (3)

Chapter 493: Star Fragments (3)

Chang-Sun found himself trembling so violently that even the [Twilight Spear] shook, so he had to grab his right hand with his left to stop the quivering. He did not know whether he was overwhelmed by terror of Rlyeh, or being affected by the surging rapids of power within him after consuming Ubbo-Sathlas <Star Fragment>.

Perhaps it was both. The Apocalypse Dragon that could end all Worldlines was too great for a Celestial from one Worldline to remain in his presence, and Ubbo-Sathlas concentrated <Star Fragment> simply held too much power.

[Your Divine Class has been destabilized due to an influx of power!]

[You have entered the Confused state.]

[You have entered the Delirium state.]

[The leftover identities are talking incomprehensibly!]

[The leftover identities are advising you to become part of them!]

[Warning! You are in critical condition. You are advised to take a break after moving to a safe place.]

[Warning! The energy of Nyx is contaminating your mind.]

Chang-Sun clenches his teeth, his [Gnostic Eye] reddening as if it could explode at any moment. Although he had consumed the <Star Fragment> to create a bigger explosion, he had not yet been ready, so he was suffering from the aftermath.

But Ill fight through it at all costs!

Fortunately, Chang-Sun instinctively knew how to handle it. Using his [Gnostic Eye] to observe his internal world, he avoided danger and created what he needed.

[Starting the inscription for the second chapter of the last volume of Prelatis Spellbook!]

While the first chapter, Sero Dii, was about the lives of Bestla the Celestial King and her Giant descendants, the second chapter would be about the battle between Ubbo-Sathla and many Lee Chang-Suns. Of course, converting all their memories into letters took a significant amount of effort and time, so Chang-Sun could not focus on that right now.

That nutcase is seriously going to do it!

We have to stop him! Itll be a big problem if Rlyeh surfaces!

Baal and Metatron urgently spread out their black and white wings respectively, turning pale as they launched themselves forward

Hes truly Masters replica! Stop right there!

Aphoom-Zhah grew longer, then also flew at Chang-Sun.

So hes going to gamble in the end, huh? I didnt expect that from another me. Asclepius gritted his teeth and also threw himself forward, his staff growing longer to strike Chang-Sun.

Four people were coming for Chang-Sun from all directions. Although he was already falling toward where Rlyeh was, Chang-Sun was bound to be captured before landing on the ground at this rate. However

Im still here, and yet you people show me your backs All of you must be pretty confident about yourselves.

[The Celestial Taurus has activated the Authority Namtillaku, bending the flow of energy in the area to his will!]

Wooosh!

Thud!

Bel-Marduk extended his arm and clenched his fist as if clawing the air. The air heated up, and immense pressure held the four pursuers down. Bel-Marduks debuff Authority not only weakened the active Authorities of Metatron, Baal, and Ascle, but also slowed them down.

Bel-Marduk was renowned as a warrior because he preferred close combat, but he was still Lee Chang-Sun, which meant he was gifted in magic as well. Besides, Bel-Marduk was also the Celestial of Magic who was the successor of Asarluhi[1], Enkis son!

Rune whips and chains flew forth from every direction and bound the four pursuers limbs. Compared to Divine Steel shackles, they were weak, but they were quite durable. Noticing the high level of magic in the chains, Metatron and Baal quickly turned to look at Bel-Marduk.

Are you rebelling against me, Bel? Ascle asked, scowling as he looked at the rune chains around his wrists; he was furious at the thought of his boy trying to defy him.

When Ascle glared at him, Bel-Marduk flinched, but he soon clenched his teeth and scowled back. What do you mean, rebelling? You try awfully hard to act like a father when all you did was abuse me. Why do you think I ended up emotionally volatile to the point of insanity?

It looks like I need to punish you.

Go to hell!

Ill have to do something about your foul mouth first. Ascle narrowed his [Gnostic Eyes], which shone even brighter.

Crash, crash, crash!

The moment Ascle changed his target to Bel-Marduk, all the rune chains around him shattered.

Rummmble!

Chang-Sun focused on sharpening all his senses to speed up his ability to think, fully perceiving all the information around him. He could hear his pounding heart and the swirling of the divine power he had not absorbed yet, befuddling him.

Amid the storm of information, he drew forth his divine power, which he had originally planned to use to write the second chapter of [Prelatis Spellbook]; however, he planned to use it in a different way. The divine power from the <Star Fragment> was still too impure, so it looked too daunting to use. However, Chang-Sun infused all the divine power into his [Gnostic Eye] without caring about the danger one bit.

Badump, badump!

Badump, badump, badump!

As Chang-Suns heart raced frantically, his eyes began to hurt horribly. It felt as if they were going to either burn up or explode, but he still endured the pain.

Crack!

At that moment, a sound filled the air

Oooooooong!

Just as the [Twilight Spear] had howled, Chang-Suns [Gnostic Eye] also echoed, and the world he could see through the eye changed completely.

[The Authority Gnostic Eye has reached its maximum level.]

[You can now accumulate more gnosis]

[You can now see more]

In a world filled with letters, Chang-Sun suddenly saw a course of action that had been faint to him until now, becoming able to foretell how to respond to the incoming attack.

[A higher-level Authority, Foretelling Eye, has been created!]

Following his [Foretelling Eye], which had merged with his Inferno Sight completely, Chang-Sun regained his balance and stomped down firmly on the air.

Thump!

[The Authority Avatars Descent has been activated!]

[The spatial coordinates of the area have been fixed, pausing all laws of physics in the area.]

Time was stoppedno, space was fixed in place. The suction of all the black holes ceased, and the light arrow froze right in front of Chang-Suns chest.

What in the world?!

How is he using the power of Quirinale?!

The jaws of Baal and Metatron practically dropped to the ground.

[The Authority Heaven and Earth Great Shift has been activated!]

Everything in the area reversed. The black holes surrounded Baal and Metatron instead, and the light arrow was pointed at them too. The two Celestials quickly moved to block the attacks.

[The restriction on space has been lifted!]

Before they could do anything, however, the black holes resumed their activity, and the arrow of light struck them.

Rummmmmble!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Tap!

Leaving behind widespread chaos, Chang-Sun landed on Rlyehs closed eye, but he was pale and in precarious condition from using too many Authorities simultaneously at full power. Thinking to himself that he still had to endure it, he bent down on one knee and put his hand on Rlyehs eyelid.

Finally.

Ubbo-Sathla fervently expressed her emotions in the corner of Chang-Suns mind. Aware of her wish, Chang-Sun calmly said, <Dull Darkness>, please answer my call.

At that moment, Rlyehs eyelids trembled for the first time.

Why do you keep trying to wake me up?

1. Its Bel-Marduks other name in Lovecrafts Cthulhu Mythos. Asarluhi, also spelled as Asaruludu, is one of the Anunnaki, a group of gods, in the actual mythology.
