Above Your Head

Vol 2. Chapter 49: Destruction vs Destruction vs Destruction (6)

The Creation God did not create the world in one shot. He went through countless trials and errors, and failed countless times. Many Settings were created and abandoned, just like how many Characters were created and abandoned as well.

It was either because they were foreign and too strong, or because they unnaturally twisted the laws of the world and became too dangerous. Or, they were too big or too small at the same time, or simply too beautiful. They also reproduced too fast and were incomplete… For all kinds of reasons, they were thrown into the realm of abyss or chaos without even being named.

Unnamed. They, not even defined by the Creation God, were confined to a space where no other beings in the world, not even the Gods, would dare to enter. They were existences that could never come into the Physical Realm no matter what method they employed. Sometimes, some of them were confused with Outer Gods and worshipped. However, no matter how much Divine Spirit or Karma they accumulated, their circumstances would never change.

However, about 400 years ago… Asura, the Administrator of the Great Universe who tried to reset the world, was defeated. Then, the Unnamed was completely lifted off from Asura's restriction as well as the Creation God's, who had kept them restrained by letting go of the Great Universe's management. They rushed out into the Physical Realm without hesitation, marking the start of the Great War that threw the entire Great Universe into the flames of war.

Unnamed, beings who were undefined, were each set with a Keyword, and many of them did not have much intelligence. Not to mention the incomplete beings, there were even beings who were merely ideas of the Creation God. And among them was the idea of the Project End. It was an idea for when the direction of the Great Universe was contrary to the will of the Creation God, but was discarded due to being judged as unnecessarily stimulating and taking too long. They were the Unnamed, too.

The Project End, which no one knew existed, was released into the Physical Realm by the Unnamed who supposedly struggled and used it as a weapon. So the number of planets that had been destroyed numbered in the hundreds and thousands!

However, the terrifying power that spread fear throughout the whole universe was ultimately destroyed. The God of Magic, Flame Dragon Kain, who judged that the risk of Project End was very high, descended… And after a long time, the destroyed Project End was revived.

"In the end, it's beginning. I wanted to finish it before this happened." A man sitting on the roof of the school stared at his son standing in front of the school gate and took a deep breath. It was Kwan Il-han. "Raising a child is the most difficult. It really doesn't go according to what I want."

In the past, the Primordial God advised Dae-ha that he could control his Divine Spirit if he attained enlightenment and reached the realm of transcendence. It was no exaggeration to say that Dae-ha was currently training on the superpowers he had no interest in because of her words.

"Damned brat. Just because it's not your problem, you went on to spout nonsense."

In fact, however, the Primordial God's words that Dae-ha clung onto were nothing but words she had just randomly uttered. She didn’t lie, but she also spouted them without much thought.

The realm of transcendence? Of course, objectively speaking, it was true that Dae-ha had favorable conditions that were beyond that of ordinary humans. He was already born with a Divine Spirit, and had amassed enough Karma that other transcendents had to spend their whole life to accumulate. Hence, he could attain the realm of transcendence just by training himself and gaining enlightenment. But nevertheless, he wouldn't be able to do so.

"He has too many things going on for him."

One of the defining characteristics of being human would be always walking the comfortable path. This was a natural course of action such as wielding a weapon when one had possessed a weapon instead of being cowardly.

"If he really wants to achieve the realm of transcendence..."

He would have to define the subject of life. He would have to transcend everything that tied him down. He would have to establish a sense of unwavering commitment.

However, how could he do that in this situation? He was followed by a giant ship that could erase entire civilizations of Earth, as well as mythical weapons that were uncommon even in the Great Universe, the Transcendence Weapon. No, in fact, more than anything else, his Divine Spirit was the problem. The status of the surging DIvine Spirit was at such a high level that made suppression impossible even with the ego of Dae-ha, which was basically already complete.

"Actually, it would be possible if there was a lot of time. However, there isn't time to spare."

A place in the depths of the Earth, beyond the outer core of the Earth's crust and mantle[1], the Weapon of Extreme Fear of The Great War, which had been sleeping deep inside the inner core, was activated. And now that it happened...

Spackkkk! The space shattered along with the spark. A certain amount of Mana, along a crack smaller than a particle, penetrated through the far-off dimension and arrived in front of him. Bang! The extremely compressed Mana spat out lines of texts along with a soft racket.

It's confirmed that the Doomsday Weapon has been activated. It's perfect timing as it's the planet where you are at.

Finish what you are doing and let's be on our way.

I would like Jenica's tenontography as soon as possible please. Did she not awaken, or perhaps did she not cooperate?

PS. Why aren't you renewing it? It's already been almost 20 years. Please tell me if you have any personal circumstances.

PS. Please be sure to reply.

"Fine. In the end, it came." Il-han recited the message as he watched it quietly disappear along with the wind. "Here he comes."

A great hero who prevented the destruction of the Great Universe. Mankind's representative, all-powerful expert. The apostle of justice who had saved countless civilizations and people. The genius of strategy who remained victorious no matter how unfavorable the circumstances may be. The apostle of God, the unparalleled war hero, an indomitable fighter… All Master. The mighty and great hero who traveled throughout the universe would come to Earth-34.

"…I have to hurry." He got up and… Kuhkk. His figure that was above the school disappeared.

***

From an office with a luxurious ambience at the highest floor of a skyscraper in New York City where one could overlook the entire city at a glance, a rattling moan was heard, "Huppp! Hahhhh... Huphmmm!” The woman with long limbs and a voluptuous chest on the verge of bursting laid on a desk made of high-quality wood, and she was letting out a flirtatious voice that contained lies. Behind her was a white man with a bulging belly who was lusting after her, and he stripped off his expensive suit.

"Giovanni Brown."

"W-Who's there?!" The man, who was surprised by the sudden noise, turned around. He pushed away the woman who was lying down in front of him. A dark-skinned mid-20s young man now stood in front of him.

It was Juan, a being who was born with a Divine Spirit naturally and accepted it with his own volition. He said coldly, "Liar."

"What the hell! Who is it? How did you get in here?"

Giovanni Brown was a successful lawyer. It was hard to refer to him as a handsome man. However, despite his approachable personality that fit his chubby physical appearance, he was an eloquent speaker who possessed excellent intelligence and could even make nonsensical sophistry sound plausible. He had successfully defended countless heinous criminals who were deemed to be impossible. As a result of that shocking performance, it was an extremely natural flow for him to possess huge amounts of dollars. Devil's Advocate was the nickname he got.

And simply, Juan was a perfectly suitable sacrifice. "You've given so many people despair by lying."

"You're a crazy bastard!" Bang! In an instant, Giovanni, who found a pistol from the desk drawer, pulled the trigger. Normally, he would not have acted so rashly, but the foreign atmosphere flowing from Juan made him lose his reason. "What? W-What the??" Needless to say, it did not work. Giovanni groaned as he saw more bullets floating in the air. What kind of magic was this?

However, Juan had no interest in Giovanni’s reaction. Thud thuck! Juan reached into his mouth and pulled out one of his molars. It was actually a really bloody act, but he didn't even lift an eyebrow. Whoooosh! His extracted teeth changed into a new form along with the dazzling light. It was in the shape of a sword, which was scorching in white. "This is the Sword of Truth, and it will cut down every falsehood that exists in the world."

"You, no, what the hell are you? Why did you appear out of nowhere..."

Thudd! Without a single hint of hesitation, the sword of light was thrusted into Giovanni's chest. Giovanni opened his mouth wide but he could not even show his astonishment. Then, following that, the sword of light was drawn into his body, even down to the hilt... Flash! Giovanni's body, which turned into light, began to sublimate. As his back burst, a new non-human organ was created. His appearance and height also began to change before coming to an end eventually.

-I am the Guardian of Truth, and I will destroy every falsehood that exists in the world.

A giant angel with six wings declared while holding on to a blazing sword.

-My name is Truth.

If anyone in the Great Universe could behold this current sight they would be shocked. Even the beings who possessed a Status of God would not be able to not stop their astonishment. This was because the power of transcendence that was contained in Truth… It was a power equivalent to an Intermediate-rank transcendent, an Emperor-class. Moreover, he was not the only target…

Juan found a dictator in Africa, who was an unjust man, and put him on a cold frozen scale.

-I am the Guardian of Justice, the judge of all injustice in the world.

A beautiful woman, who covered her eyes with an eye patch and held on to a scale, declared.

-My name is Justice.

Juan found an American journalist, who stepped into the scene of a massive terrorist attack, pretended to be a victim, and quickly became a star all of a sudden. However, as time went by, it turned out that all of them were frauds and he was a disgraceful being whom everyone all over the world criticized. Juan embedded a huge tombstone for him.

-I am the Guardian of Honor, and I record the names of those revered by everyone in the world.

The old man held on to a large slab of stone which was shimmering in black.

-My name is Honor.

Three Intermediate-ranked transcendents were born on Earth, which did not have a single transcendent, let alone an Emperor-class. They were Gods who were made to be used as tools and were stuck with all kinds of missions.

Juan tried to use them to correct and discipline humanity, which was an act that might lead mankind to a better area. This was because these three Gods were surely more sincere, righteous, and honorable… However, ultimately, it was no different to being forced. The enforced truth, enforced justice, and enforced honor…

Man would somehow find a way to make up a falsehood, and they would eventually find a gap to do something unethical. They would try to distort the word ‘honor’, as well as disclose the benefits of honor… God must be disappointed. Instead of understanding human habits and adjusting to the rules, they would have pushed forth for tougher rules. Rather than admitting one's mistakes and errors, they would be running wild to make those things obsolete. That was how it turned out.
