I’m Not a Regressor Chapter 393

I am not a returner Episode 393:

Stars in the sky (6)

The fountain of the Milky Way, where beautiful starlight is twinkling as if it were cut out of the night sky.

Grumble, rumble!

Black clouds covered the spring water and covered the night sky.

Fluctuating dark clouds.

Through the Black Heaven, the enormous magical power of the stigmata that had filled the spring began to flow into Ojin’s body.

“Ugh!”

A magic circuit that inflates like a balloon blown to its limit.

Sam’s magical power, which had been condensed for an immeasurable amount of time, far exceeded Ojin’s imagination.

‘There are too many…!’

It was difficult to maintain my sanity due to the torrent of magical energy rushing through my entire body.

Oh Jin chewed his lips and desperately held on to the strings of reason amidst the magic of stigmata that surged like a tsunami.

Gurgling! Kuruk!

Whether he was aware of the state of Ojin or not, the Black Heaven nestled in his heart voraciously ate Polaris’ magic as if it were some kind of high-end buffet.

[I am my child!]

“Don’t come!”

He urgently shouted at Vega, who was approaching with a worried expression.

‘When it comes, even Vega will be swept away.’

Heukcheon, which found the ultimate prey, escaped Ojin’s control and began to run wild.

Black storm clouds spread out around the area in the shape of a huge dome, absorbing the stigmata’s magical power.

The spring water that sparkled with beautiful starlight was covered in murky darkness, as if black ink had been spilled.

It looks like the entire surrounding space has been swallowed up by black clouds.

It was a sight as if the unconscious world that had encountered the Heavenly Demon had been realized in reality.

‘This…’

The world of unconsciousness is realized in reality.

A scene where fragments of thought, which are mere images, distort the laws of physics and manipulate reality.

It was an unknown force that was impossible to understand with the mind even if one could see it with the eyes.

Ojin could easily understand the scene unfolding before his eyes.

‘Sanctuary deployment.’

That’s right too.

Because what he has been concentrating on most recently is the power that is unfolding right in front of his eyes.

‘Heukcheon is changing the surrounding environment and making it its own territory.’

Before we knew it, the brilliantly shining fountain of the Milky Way had disappeared without a trace, and only gloomy dark clouds filled the surroundings.

okay.

As if I had entered a black sky without a single light.

“Ah uh.”

Heukcheon, who colored the surroundings with his own world, slowly closed his eyes and rushed towards Polaris, who was waiting for the end of his long life.

‘stop.’

I knew it instinctively.

If Black Heaven, which is now out of his control, absorbs the stigmata of Ursa Minor, it will never come under his control again.

Gurgling! Kuruk!

Heukcheon stops in front of Polaris and struggles like a wild beast tied to a leash.

Oh Jin let out a heavy breath while barely maintaining control of Heukcheon, which he was barely holding on to.

“Stop, you bastard…!”

Rumbling!

As if it didn’t like being held by a leash, the black cloud that was trying to devour Polaris changed its target and rushed towards Ojin.

“Ugh! “Wow!”

Pain as if my whole body was being bitten by sharp teeth.

Along with the feeling of my mind becoming blurred, my body swayed like an ear of rice blowing in the autumn wind.

“Huh! “Huh!”

I desperately tried to hold on to my spirit amidst the black clouds that violently attacked my body.

The feeling of standing alone in a huge rapid.

The harsh clouds of the black sky grabbed his body and shook it as if mocking him.

‘it hurts.’

It was a terrible pain, as if sharp hooks were moving around inside my blood vessels.

‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.’

The body is being eaten away.

My mind is being eaten away.

My soul is being eaten away.

‘I’m going crazy.’

When will this pain end?

Or is it ever going to end in the first place?

The flow of time stops.

A vast black sky with no end in sight.

He hears an auditory hallucination in which the dark clouds surrounding him burst into laughter as if mocking him.

-What if I just give up like this?

-You’ve been patient enough, right?

-You can escape this pain if you take just one step back.

-Accept me.

It is probably not something that is said out of the will of the real Black Heaven.

Because Oh Jin knows best who is emitting the auditory hallucinations he is hearing right now.

‘It’s my… voice.’

The auditory hallucination ringing in my ears was not the Black Heaven, but my own voice whispering to myself.

“Ah… ah.”

Because it hurts.

Because it’s painful.

Because it’s hard to bear.

It’s tempting you to just give up everything and throw yourself into those dark clouds.

Part of me is telling myself to accept the temptation.

No matter how much you are used to enduring pain.

As long as he was human, there was a limit to what he could endure.

For example, let’s say you put your hand on a hot iron plate.

How many people can rub their palms on an iron plate without hesitation even while the flesh on their palms is burning?

It wasn’t a question of whether one had good mental strength or not.

There was a limit to how much pain could be endured unless a human had no sense of pain.

‘anyway.’

Even if it wasn’t for him, Ha-eun would be safe.

As long as the Heavenly Demon’s identity is ‘Odiagnosis’ like himself, there is no way he will harm her.

If Ha-eun spoke well, she might be able to protect the lives of Isabella and the other lovers.

okay.

It will be okay.

If you take just one step back.

If you just take one step and stop.

This hellish pain will end….

What will happen if I give up here?

Suddenly.

Such questions crossed my mind.

‘I won’t die.’

Your consciousness will be consumed by the black sky, but you will not die immediately.

However, once the black sky has swallowed your consciousness, it will spread like poison and gradually devour you.

Memories become blurry and memories fade.

One by one, our precious past will be swallowed up by black clouds.

In the future, we may suffer from endless thirst and hunger, and only the primal desire to eat all the stars in the world will remain.

okay.

like.

‘Like that guy.’

Oh Jin clenched his fists.

“Damn it…don’t do it.”

Cut out the heart that becomes weak.

I chewed my lip until it bled and glared fiercely at the black clouds that covered the surroundings.

If I was going to give up in vain like this, I wouldn’t have persisted this far in the first place.

‘I said it was different.’

I am different from you.

I swore I would never end up like you.

Even if it is childish greed or a shallow sense of justice.

I will save everyone I can get my hands on.

I confidently declared it in front of him.

“therefore.”

Oh Jin raised his head and looked up at the black clouds covering the sky.

The black clouds were shaking violently as if they were going to tear him to pieces.

“Kneel down, bastard.”

Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The dark clouds covering the sky split in half and poured down.

He took a step forward, trampling on the flat black clouds as if he were bowing his head.

[Hehe… As expected.]

Polaris, who had been waiting for death with her eyes closed, was suddenly seen looking at her with her eyes sparkling.

She… or rather, he put his hands together as if praying and had a bright smile on his face.

[Star of the inverted sky… I hope this miserable starlight can brighten your path just a little bit.]

With those last words, Polaris threw herself towards the clouds of the dark sky spread widely on the floor.

Polaris’ body disappeared beyond the black sky clouds.

and.

-Tiring!

Grumble!

The cloud of black heaven spread out on the floor stirred and was sucked into Ojin’s body.

“Ugh…!”

Ojin desperately maintained his sanity amidst the intensifying torrent of the black sky again.

The endless black clouds came to a halt as if caught in a bump.

Another message came to mind, saying that the power of the Black Sky was limited.

The message that followed was that the stigmata of Lyra had become 11 stars.

Ojin frowned, remembering the message that came to mind earlier.

‘Even though Lyra Stigmata has reached 11 stars, does this mean that the power of Black Heaven is limited?’

Simply looking at the numbers, this was the twelfth flowering of Black Heaven, so it may be difficult to control it with the power of Lyra Stigmata, which is still only at 11 stars.

‘I’ve controlled it well so far.’

Even when Black Heaven bloomed for the 11th time, the stigmata of Leech was one level lower, at 10, but the message that its power was partially limited did not come to mind.

‘Does that mean the power gained through the twelfth flowering is enormous?’

Just as the power of stigmata changes greatly when it rises from 8 to 9 stars, Black Heaven may also have gained more power than before.

‘And because of that power, it went wild beyond my control earlier.’

If you think about it that way, it makes sense.

[I am my child! Are you okay?!]

When Polaris’ absorption was finished, Vega flew to Ojin with an urgent expression.

She looked at Ojin with worried eyes and continued speaking.

[In her eyes, it looked as if the energy of the Black Sky was devouring you.]

“That’s true to a certain extent.”

It was true that the sudden increase in the power of the Black Heaven almost caused his entire consciousness to be instantly eaten away.

[Like that!]

“But it’s okay now. “For now, we succeeded in calming down Heukcheon.”

In fact, rather than calming him down, it was more like suppressing him and making him quiet.

In any case, he was able to avoid the worst case scenario of having his consciousness eaten away by Black Heaven.

‘I don’t know how long I can hold out.’

Because he somehow calmed down the rampaging Black Heaven, he ended up with a ‘partial limitation of his power’. If he had failed to control it, he would have been swallowed up by the Black Heaven.

‘The leash needs to be tied tighter.’

It was necessary to increase the power of Lyra’s stigmata in order to remove partial power restrictions and fully deal with the Black Sky.

And the way to increase the power of Lyra’s stigmata right now is…

“Vega, it’s not something I should say in this situation, but… I have a favor to ask you to listen to.”

[I will listen to any request you make, so feel free to tell me!]

Vega pounded her chest as if telling her to trust only herself.

“Then…”

The burning gaze was directed at Vega.

[Hmm?]

Vega’s shoulders trembled.

[Why are you looking at the real woman with those eyes?]

Vega unknowingly backed away from Ojin with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
