I am not a returner Episode 419:
War of the Stars (10)
Rurrrrrrrrr!
The black clouds that spewed out from Moebius’ whole body rose up fiercely.
Moebius’ body, which had been reduced to powder and scattered, returned to its original form, and an eerie blue naturalization burned in its green eyes.
“…what?”
Ojin opened his eyes wide and looked at Mobius, who was enveloped in black clouds.
A very familiar look.
But at the same time, it was a very unfamiliar sight.
“A stream… how?”
How can Mobius use a technique that only those with the Dark Heaven can use?
[My child!]
Vega urgently pulled Ojin.
Gurgling!
A black cloud swept over the place where Ojin was standing.
The solid earth was ‘eaten up’ as if pudding had been scooped up with a spoon.
“crazy…!”
Those marks that looked like they had been eaten were characteristic marks that appeared when a stream was used.
‘A real stream?’
How can Moebius, who doesn’t even have the Black Heaven, use the Open Heaven?
Even if you received some of the power of the Black Heaven from the Heavenly Demon, using the Open Heaven…
“Ah.”
A low exclamation flowed from between Oh Jin’s lips.
Mobius wakes up, panting heavily.
I felt something ‘foreign’ in his appearance with black clouds wrapped around his body like a cape.
‘Yes, that’s how it happened.’
Ojin’s eyes shone sharply.
[It’s my child. How could the author create a stream…]
“No.”
[No?]
“That’s… not a stream.”
Gaecheon is a technique that unleashes the power of Black Heaven within the body.
Moebius could not see the phenomenon that would inevitably appear when using a stream.
‘No part of the body has turned into a cloud of black sky.’
Mobius just has the black clouds wrapped around his body like a cloak.
The body itself did not turn into a cloud of black sky.
“By causing the Black Heaven that I received from the Heavenly Demon to run away… I am imitating the Gaecheon.”
Of course, it wasn’t as simple as it sounds.
In order to do this, he had to possess a large amount of black heaven to enable ‘runaway’ and had control over its power.
in other words.
‘It’s impossible without the help of the Heavenly Demon.’
It is impossible without the help of the Heavenly Demon.
In other words, it is not impossible if you have the help of the Heavenly Demon.
That means one thing.
“…You damn bastard.”
It would be correct to say that Heavenly Demon intended this situation in the first place.
“ha ha ha. “This is the power that the Heavenly Demon spoke of.”
Mobius looked down at the black clouds covering his body and twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Is this the power to bring about the destruction of the constellation… Gaaaak gagaak!”
While speaking, Mobius clutches his chest and lets out a painful scream.
The stigmata of Ophiuchus engraved on his left chest was seen gradually losing its luster and disappearing.
[That…]
“It must be the price of opening a river.”
Just like Cassia and Isabella did.
The power of the Black Heaven given by the Heavenly Demon encroaches and mixes within the target’s stigmata like cancer cells.
To cause such a black sky to run wild.
‘It means the disappearance of stigmata.’
And for the Constellations, the disappearance of the stigmata meant the disappearance of existence itself.
“haha! “It’s a little more painful than I expected.”
Mobius seemed to be unaware of this fact as he let out a chuckle while panting heavily.
“Now then… shall we start again?”
Gurgling!
Black clouds spread out like a curtain and hit Ojin like a tsunami.
I tried to hurriedly expand my sanctuary and block the clouds of the dark sky.
“Ugh!”
Quad deuk!
The silver sanctuary was torn apart like a piece of paper, and the black clouds arrived in front of Ojin.
Taang!
Ojin narrowly escaped the black cloud by firing a wire at the remains of a nearby abandoned building.
“Cough… Cough! Cough!”
The aftereffects of deploying the Sanctuary had not completely subsided, and when the Sanctuary was deployed again, the magical power of the entire body was screaming and boiling over.
Fishy blood rising up the throat.
A terrible pain shot through my entire body, as if sharp pieces of metal were flowing through my veins instead of blood.
‘If it goes on like this…’
Oh Jin was chewing his lips with a nervous expression.
“Ugh!”
“Kyaaaah!”
Another scream was heard from the other side.
When I turned my head to where the scream came from, I saw the awakened people who were dealing with the other constellations rolling around on the floor.
“haha!”
“Uh… oh come on. Why are these bastards suddenly doing this?”
Ha-eun looked back at Oh-jin while holding his bleeding shoulder.
When I looked at Noctua, the constellation Owl, who was fighting with her, I saw a black cloud covering Noctua’s body.
“…no way.”
Did other constellations, not just Moebius, unleash the power of the Black Sky contained in the Stigmata?
I quickly turned my head and looked around, and as expected, I saw clouds of black sky floating around the bodies of the black star constellations.
Of course, compared to the black clouds that covered Mobius’ body, the quantity and quality were much lower.
Quad deud deuk!
“Keuuuuuuu!”
[Ah alleeeenn!]
With an eerie sound of bone fracture, Allen’s arm was seen being torn off by the black clouds.
Deneb’s screams echoed across the devastated battlefield.
The situation wasn’t good for the other side either.
“Tsk… Oh Mr. Ojin! “Suddenly the constellations are in a strange state!”
Isabella was also fighting against Hirudo, the constellation of Leech.
“Ojin, why are the constellations using the power of the Dark Sky…?!”
Cassia, who was dealing with Felis, the constellation of Cat, and Butenin, the constellation of Toad, also retreated with a look of confusion at the sudden change in the constellations.
‘Shit.’
Ojin chewed his bloody lips and clenched his fists.
No matter how many blessings there were from the constellations, there was no way to stop the constellations that had run wild in the Dark Sky, risking ‘annihilation’.
“You look nervous.”
Mobius looked at Ojin and smiled slightly.
He continued speaking while looking back at the constellations floating in the air far away, looking down on the battlefield.
“The blessings of the constellations alone will not be able to resolve this situation.”
“….”
I already know that much.
There is only one way to turn the situation around, which is rapidly becoming unfavorable.
‘A stream.’
Ohjin himself also used the open stream by causing the black stream to run away.
As he used on Isabella and Cassia before, the Black Heaven he possesses is of a ‘higher’ level than the Heavenly Demon’s Black Heaven, so he will be able to absorb the Black Heaven that has been flooded by the Black Star Constellations.
but.
‘It’s hard to use the stream here…’
Dozens of constellations floating in the air, looking down on the battlefield.
Even if Vega knew that he was the master of the Dark Heaven, the other constellations did not know that he possessed the Dark Heaven.
However, if you even use ‘gaecheon’ in front of them.
‘I’ll get caught.’
No matter how good Ojin was at lying, he couldn’t use the technique of causing the Black Sky to run away and hide his identity.
‘It’s not just about being discovered.’
Another reason why he couldn’t use Gaecheon willingly was his current physical condition.
Due to the aftereffects of deploying the sanctuary of Lyra Stigmata, if you use ‘Gaecheon’ while your entire body’s magical power circuit is in tatters as if it has been cut with a knife.
‘You could lose all… your memories.’
Even with a healthy body, Gaecheon is difficult to handle, but if you use it in a state close to the worst, you may not be able to withstand the storm of Black Heaven and your consciousness may be completely consumed.
‘Damn… what… what should I do…’
When you just keep worrying about not being able to do this or that.
[Don’t worry, my child.]
A gentle touch on your shoulder.
Vega’s original form, which was in a prosthetic state, returned with a brilliant silver light.
“…Vega?”
[I can tell what you’re worried about just by looking at your expression.]
Vega smiled slightly and gently stroked Ojin’s head.
[You don’t have to carry everything on your own.]
What it means to him to use the stream.
She also knew how much he had to sacrifice something precious.
[Now that I think about it, I’ve only been cared for by you.]
Originally, the constellation was supposed to protect its own child.
Rather, he overcame the crisis under the child’s protection.
but.
[Now it is the main woman’s turn to protect you.]
Uuuuuung!
A silver tsunami covered the surroundings and drove away the black clouds.
Vega’s golden eyes turned towards Moebius.
Mobius looked at the brilliant silver waves coloring the surroundings and raised the corners of his mouth as if interested.
“Hmm. “You know what it means to use the sanctuary ‘out there,’ right?”
[Of course.]
“Haha. Are you willing to risk ‘annihilation’ for your child?”
[It is the duty of the Constellation.]
“It is the duty of the Constellation…”
Moebius chuckled and shook his shoulders.
“Other than Vega, is there any other constellation that wants to uphold that ‘constellation duty’?”
No matter how much Vega is said to be the constellation of the North Star.
It was impossible for her to turn the situation around on her own.
Constellations overlooking the battlefield from afar.
Without their ‘sacrifice’, it was impossible to stop the Black Star Constellations that ultimately unleashed the power of the Black Sky.
[Of course.]
Vega continued in a stern voice.
[It is not only the original woman who cherishes her child.]
To other constellations, the human who gave the stigmata was as precious as a child.
So obviously.
[They will also keep their ‘duty’.]
Vega turned her head with a confident expression.
The constellations were standing behind her and watching the battlefield.
They…
[….]
with their lips tightly shut.
He was turning his head, trying hard to avoid Vega’s gaze.
[Why is everyone… turning their heads?]
Vega shouted with a puzzled expression at the constellation’s reaction, which was different from what she expected.
[Aren’t the children in danger!]
[….]
[How… How can they just stand there and watch without anyone thinking of stepping forward!]
[….]
[Say something!]
Vega’s The constellations who heard the shouting lowered their heads and chewed their lips with conflicted eyes.
“Puhup puhahahahaha!”
Mobius burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.
“Look. “Didn’t I tell you?”
He swept up his pure white hair and glared at the constellations with burning blue eyes.
“In the first place… you didn’t intend to make any sacrifices.”
The snake’s laughter echoed throughout the devastated battlefield.
It somehow sounds like sobbing.
It was a sad laugh.
