< Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 630 >
There is a transcendental body at the center of the Ark.
Seong Ji-han frowned at those words.
“Why on earth is the Transcendent Body in that space? “Didn’t the new humans not even treat quarantined people with only one characteristic as normal?”
“yes. “The general public perceived the characteristics of those in quarantine as ‘disabled,’ but researchers had different opinions.”
“Yeah, really?”
Id’s eyes widen as if he didn’t even know about it.
The eyes of light looked at him for a moment and then continued their story.
“Each of the quarantined light characteristics has a powerful effect. Not only can Uld go back in time, but the power of my gaze can also see the world beyond time and space. Even though that man is less intelligent, isn’t the power itself useful?”
“No… what do you mean? “What’s wrong with my intellect?”
“You should know that better yourself.”
Noah said and turned his gaze back to Seongjihan.
“Among these, those quarantined in the Ark are people with stronger characteristics of light… The ‘Transcendent’ had to absorb all of their powers to become perfect.”
“Hmm…”
All humans with two or more normal characteristics have already been incorporated into the Transcendental Body.
Now all that remains are those in quarantine.
And, contrary to the world’s opinion, each of their characteristics was useful.
All of this must be combined into the transcendental body to become complete.
Seong Ji-han organized the story in his own way and then tilted his head.
“Then… what’s there to do to kill time? “You just have to absorb it, right?”
“What did I just tell you about transcendence?”
“It is said to unite the light-bodied humanity into one consciousness.”
“You remembered correctly. Our quarantined people do not meet these conditions. “We are imperfectly embodied beings.”
Seong Ji-han frowned when he heard those words.
One characteristic is exceptionally good, so the quarantined people must also absorb it as one body.
When you try to eat it, you’re told you can’t eat it because your photobody isn’t working properly?
“That is the condition before the Overmind was created. Since it has already been created, isn’t it okay to just eat the quarantined people?”
“I already tried it. “The proper absorption efficiency was not achieved.”
“You already tried… how?”
“I threw one containmenter with the most useless traits into the Overmind.”
Jerk.
Id took a step back after hearing Noah’s answer.
Even though I’m lying helpless right now, the supervisor is still the supervisor.
“Then, should we absorb the quarantined person by turning him into a normal person?”
“That’s right. By giving the isolate one more characteristic of light, it joins the transcendental… That was the true meaning of Ark’s existence. In fact, it has been successful several times.”
“Success…? “Are you saying our containment really acquired the properties of light?”
As Id opened his eyes, Noah nodded.
“yes. Already 72 people have successfully joined the Overmind, and this is the 73rd quarantined person. ‘Uld’ also succeeded in acquiring the characteristics and was scheduled to join the Overmind.”
“Uld…?”
“yes. But, in her turn, everything was ruined.”
Jeeeeee….
Let’s change the screen.
Uld was standing in the same space as before with an excited face.
And next to her, Noah was quietly looking at her with a calm expression.
* * *
[Congratulations on being the 73rd person to be released from quarantine.]
[Thank you.]
At this time, it was a warm atmosphere.
Flashing…!
When the Overmind sparkles and Uld’s body is colored with light.
[This… I thought there was no way I could let them go.]
Tick. Tick….
From her body, a clock of light appeared.
[You said it was a lie that you would be liberated from quarantine and be able to return to society?]
[You. How…]
[Just in case, I fixed my body in the state it was in before coming here. But…]
Clocks began to appear one by one from Uld’s body, which was immersed in light.
A clock of the same shape as the clock of light that occupied the Arc.
[The power of light contained here… It’s truly amazing. What kind of power did you use to create a server? Did you proceed with the power of the Transcendental Body?]
[Did you even understand that…?]
[I was connected to that for a moment. So naturally, I found out that it was a transcendental body. The light bodies of normal people are gathered together to become one huge energy source…]
Then, Uld smiled brightly.
[But, even if it’s a unification ceremony… if you do it well, you can take it, right?]
[What…?]
[I guess the quarantiner’s abilities were important? The Transcendental Body is less complete than I thought. If you do the work in advance before the Transcendental Body is complete… you will be able to reign as the master of the Transcendental Body.] [
That will be allowed…]
[Why do you think it won’t work?]
Tak!
The clock of light clings to Noah.
The clock hands began to turn backwards.
Then, her surprised expression returned to her face as expressionless as the first moment.
Jerk. Well…
he ended up taking a step back and going back to his room.
[It really works… Now you can control other people’s time as well.]
And when Uld saw that, he raised the corners of his mouth.
[Now that the ‘normal people’ are gone… Ark, we can take control right away.]
Behind her.
Countless clocks of light began to pop out.
And then the screen slowly turns off.
When Id saw the scene Noah showed him, he sighed.
“…her. “Is this the starting point of Uld’s control of the Ark?”
“That’s right.”
“Why couldn’t the Overmind take control of her?”
“The moment when the Transcendent and the Uld are about to unite. It seems that her characteristic ‘Time Reverse’ has been super-strengthened. And by absorbing some of the power from the Overmind, Uld was able to apply his power to others.”
Seong Ji-han questioned those words.
“Originally, was he the only one who could go back?”
“That’s right. Isolator Uld’s power originally only allowed him to reverse time in his own body, so it was not a highly regarded trait. “It is connected to the transcendental body and shows absurd power.”
No, eventually.
“Was that incredible power of Uld also a waste of money for you?”
“…I guess so. But isn’t that fortunate for you? “Thanks to you, I was able to be born.”
“her. Is that how it works?”
“yes. “If Uld hadn’t run server number 4212 to find a way to control the Overmind, your world would not have been born.”
Is it because she wasn’t absorbed into the Transcendental Body that the server was created this far?
In a way, she is like the creator.
‘what. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that they are enemies that need to be eliminated.’
If you created it, you did it.
As long as she’s aiming to improve her stats, she can’t just die peacefully.
Seong Ji-han thought so and asked Noah.
“Okay… Anyway, I understand the situation roughly. “All normal people are gathered together in the Overmind, and the Overmind tried to consume the power of Uld and ended up suffering the opposite.”
“To put it simply, yes.”
“So what exactly do you want from me?”
“Please kill the Uld of Ark.”
Kill Uld.
That’s what I wanted from the beginning.
but.
While listening to Noah’s story this time, Seong Ji-han had a question.
“Even if it means killing Uld. “If we kill him, what happens to our server?”
“The principle is to reset the server… but if you get rid of her, we will maintain server 4212 permanently.”
“Well, that’s fine. “It’s hard to believe that, isn’t it?”
“I guess so from your perspective.”
Noah agreed to Seong Ji-han’s question as if it were obvious.
I told him the way.
“Kill Uld, and take the position of Overseer of Arc from her. Then, you can protect your world by permanently maintaining the server with the permissions granted to Ark.”
“You said you were the supervisor?”
“Of course, that place was taken over by Uld.”
I’m really proud of that.
It was around this time that Seong Ji-han looked down at Noah, as if it was absurd.
“…her. The transcendental body. “It would have been better if I hadn’t known…”
Id realized that the story related to the Transcendental Body was true.
With a dark face, he was only touching his bald head.
“In this case, even if I gain one more attribute of light, will I be absorbed by that…”
“Being integrated into the Transcendental Body is an honor. “Do you, the human race, deny that?”
“her. “Then shouldn’t you have been integrated?”
“I would like to if I could, but… I am under the control of the Uld.”
At the same time, a divine eye appeared in Noah’s eyes.
Jiiiing….
It illuminated her stomach.
Then, a clock of light appears from there.
There, the hands of the clock kept turning backwards.
“Hmm… But the other quarantined people are still alive?”
Seong Ji-han looked at the quarantined people lying next to Noah.
People like her who have clocks on their ships.
His face was flushed and his breathing was even.
For some reason, Id is skinnier than these people and looks like a patient.
“Does he look more worth living than you?”
“…her. Yes, it seems. “I was alone with the power of protection.”
“Why are the Uld keeping the quarantined people alive?”
“They took out our powers and used them.”
“You pick it and use it? “Why not just take it?”
“Then, you will be classified as a ‘normal person’ and absorbed into the Overmind.”
Those words reminded Seong Ji-han of a scene he had seen earlier.
“Wouldn’t Uld have definitely overcome the Overmind’s absorption by going back in time?”
“yes. But that goes back to the time when there was only one trait, and it was able to resist absorption. “If she had continued to be a ‘normal person,’ even she would not have been able to resist the Overmind.”
“Hmm…”
“So she kept the quarantined people breathing and only used our powers when the server was shutting down.”
“When the server shuts down?”
At those words, Seong Ji-han recalled the scene where Dongbangsak’s world ended.
Apparently, at that time, Uld used the same eyes as those divine eyes to find Dongbangsak.
When the server shutdown begins, will it be possible to use the powers of other quarantiners as well?
‘It would never be possible to create a situation where the server would be shut down.’
Even just going back in time is a tiring ability.
If we use everything from other quarantined people, there won’t be any more answers.
Seong Ji-han was thinking about that.
“I explained everything I knew about the circumstances. The existence of a server. Would you like to join hands with me?”
Shin’s eyes flashed, and he asked Seong Ji-han that question.
[Uld is also Uld, but it seems difficult to completely trust that woman.]
‘Uh. A promise to maintain the server forever… When Uld dies, I just have to wash my mouth and that’s it, right?’
One of the quarantined individuals was Noah, who was thrown into the Overmind for testing.
Seong Jihan was born on server 4212. You can use it and throw it away as much as you like.
but.
‘But right now, there is no one who is as knowledgeable about Ark as she is.’
From what I can see, Id is just a piece of chaff that knows nothing.
In reality, it was Noah who held the information to counter Uld.
No matter how reluctant the opponent was, right now we had to cooperate to deal with the enemy.
Even if I get stabbed after seeing the situation later.
“I guess we have no choice but to hold hands right now.”
“good idea. then.”
Ji-ing…
Shinan is completely separated from Noah’s body.
[Let’s go upgrade your body first.]
My eyes widened, and I went out the door.
“Ha… I don’t know what’s going on…”
“Are you going to stay here?”
“what are you talking about? Of course I have to follow. “If I were to replace a body, I would have gone to the infirmary. Wouldn’t there be something to eat there?”
Even in this situation, you take care of food.
While Seong Ji-han thought so, he and Id followed behind Shinan and went out.
And soon, we arrive at the crossroads from earlier.
[Please come this way.]
Noah is the direction where the energy of life flows thickly.
He led the group to the ‘Western Area’.
