transcendence

The sensations I felt before came to me completely different.

If you want to see it, you can see it anywhere, and even if you haven’t reached it, if you want to feel it, you can feel it anytime.

‘My body is light.’

No, it cannot be explained simply by saying that it is light.

This… Yes, it would be more accurate to say that it is free.

It feels like the soul, which until now has just stayed in the body, becomes one with the body.

My body, which had already reached the level of a semi-transcendence, accepted the process without any sense of separation.

[Five… Can you hear me now?]

It is the voice of Odin.

Judging from what I can finally hear, it seems that even his runes did not awaken my spirit, which had been engulfed by external forces.

‘Was it like that?’

I thought his protective protection was activated mechanically when certain conditions were met, like some type of magic, but in fact it wasn’t.

The runes embedded in my body were like egos or alter egos created by Odin.

They judged themselves and protected my spirit.

Maybe it’s because I’ve become a transcendental person, I can automatically know that fact.

‘It’s a bit surprising.’

All this time, he must have been watching everything I was going through through the runes.

I feel once again that he is not a transcendental person who is just benevolent.

‘I don’t need it anymore anyway.’

I took out the rune that was inside me and threw it away.

It’s not particularly sad.

“Hmm… … .”

I looked around.

Everyone is looking at me.

Moo-young, Poseidon, and Hercules, who can be said to be powerful even in terms of transcendental characters, are no exception.

Everyone here is looking at me.

‘Right.’

I have now become a being that they need to keep a close eye on.

If until now I was just an existence with potential, now I have completely become such an existence.

“You made it, Martin.”

Latun’s tone changed. Even the eyes looking at me.

maybe it’s just a matter of course

Because I am now equal to him.

Still, he bowed his head.

“thank you.”

It is clear that he helped me a lot in overcoming my inner crisis and getting to this position.

“Thank you. How are you feeling anyway?”

I replied with a smile.

“It’s good.”

He also smiled and shook his head, just like me.

“Congratulations on becoming a transcendentalist, Martin.”

Yes.

I have finally become a transcendentalist.

* * *

He overreactedly interfered in ‘Martin’s world’ and even brought Martin.

It really wasn’t easy, even for Hermes.

At least he was able to succeed with the help of Zeus, but it would have been impossible with his own strength.

Thanks to this, Hermes felt like his body was completely drained, but he succeeded anyway.

However, now that he came to Olympus, his mind was complicated.

‘Did I do well?’

The moment Zeus met Martin, Hermes understood why Zeus had asked him to meet him.

‘It’s just like my father… … .’

Just as some humans are born with traits, some gods are born with a destiny of their own.

From the moment Zeus was born, he was endowed with the destiny of victory from the universe, and that fate did not discriminate whether the enemy was strong or weak.

Zeus always wins.

So, some transcendentalists used to call Zeus ‘the one who wins’.

But Hermes felt similar to Zeus from Martin.

How can people change so much in only 5 years? … .

Although greatly shocked, Hermes, who had many experiences, quickly regained his composure.

‘Let’s think about it later.’

Now that a huge battle was taking place in Olympus, Hermes felt that Martin was the one who would end the fight. It could be seen that Martin, who exudes the unique feeling of a ‘one who wins’, also wants to go to Olympus.

So even though I knew it would be difficult, I brought Martin.

But now this is something.

Unbelievably, after fighting Poseidon, one of the three strongest men on Olympus, Martin radiated an uncontrollable aura, and soon became a transcendent.

It happened in an instant.

But a transcendent is not just a transcendent.

Martin was a little, no, very different from the average Transcendentalists.

‘Can this be?’

The youngster who has just ascended to transcendence is focusing the attention of the mighty gods of Olympus.

It wasn’t just because of the unmanageable energy that I had seen earlier.

‘Presence… … .’

It feels like seeing Gaia, the creator.

That was the extent of Martin’s presence now.

It was then that Hermes bit his lip at this incomprehensible phenomenon.

Kwak Kwah Kwah-

A considerable amount of power emanated from Martin’s body and was soon absorbed into his body.

At first glance, it looked similar to divine power, but it was not divine power.

Should we say that it is the power of divine power with infinite possibilities?

Even if the lower gods did not know, the high gods including Hermes definitely felt it.

‘What the hell are you?’

Martin, who has just become a Transcendent.

He should be in the same state as a newborn baby, but what is that power, and what is that presence?

incomprehensible.

Hermes, and the transcendents at the same level, could not understand the very existence of Martin.

Only Moo-young nodded as if he knew something.

* * *

Well.

the body is weak

The power that transcendents use is divine power, but since my current body is full of magic power that is sufficient even without it, I have no choice but to do so.

‘Properties window.’

『The Seeker of Good (EX)

Steals the evil one’s karma.

Possession Karma: 15,000

128 Pandemonium Exclusive Possession Karma: 867,280』

Surprisingly, his karma has increased.

It’s only about 10, but it’s the first time I’ve climbed without killing an evil being.

‘This is the one who transcends… … .’

It’s slow, but your karma is multiplied by just being there.

This is probably why the older the Transcendentalist, the stronger it is.

‘Should I use some points?’

The battle isn’t over yet.

At least you should have enough power to protect me and Arlene.

Now that you have become a Transcendentalist, you can use your points much more efficiently than before, but you don’t have to use precious external forces.

‘after… suck!’

Activated all 15,000 points you have.

Of course, it didn’t turn into divine power right away.

‘It’s inefficient.’

Karma can be divine power or something else, but not vice versa. If you think about it in that respect, of course it’s better to hold it with karma rather than divine power.

Ordinary gods can’t do that because they can’t do that, but I’m a bit different from the average Transcendentalist, right?

Karma is as familiar to me as magic, perhaps because I’ve been dealing with it since I was a mortal.

So you can.

Of course it will be difficult.

‘Start.’

The key is will.

I decided to materialize the points and convert them into karma.

I want to store karma in my body like divine power. so that you can use it whenever you need it.

‘Everything follows my will.’

I moved thinking about that one thing.

and.

‘… what?’

immediately succeeded.

bewilderingly easy.

The points that protruded into the world were materialized as karma and quietly captured according to my will.

A truly heartbreaking situation.

‘This guy’s talent is still the same even after becoming a transcendentalist!’

As I was admiring my astounding talent, I felt a strong gaze.

The feeling of wanting to say something.

The owner of the gaze was fully revealing himself to me. Thanks to that, I was able to see it too without any difficulty.

One big star looking at me in a dark space where the stars twinkle.

‘her… … .’

It was the ‘Star of Awakening’ that governed the characteristics of superhumans.

‘It’s amazing.’

The ‘Star of Awakening’ seen through the eyes of a transcendent was vastly different from when seen through the eyes of a mortal.

Until now, I had thought of the ‘Star of Awakening’ as a tool made by a transcendent, but it wasn’t.

Rather, the ‘Star of Awakening’ was something that was different from the transcendent.

‘Are you saying he’s like Arin?’

Arin, a dark spirit that has existed since the beginning of time. Shouldn’t her whole body be able to rub against that?

Looking back, it was a bit strange.

‘I didn’t even tell you, but I knew that I had regressed.’

Until now, only Roden was the only transcendental person who recognized that I had returned from the first meeting.

It was only because I was a Rhoden man that I read and estimated the causal rate, but I didn’t seem to know it properly. That’s why he must have said to me that he was a usurper and that he wanted me to let go.

What if I wasn’t a Rhoden? Roden, like the other transcendentalists, would not have known that I had returned.

But that ‘Star of Awakening’ definitely noticed that fact the moment he met me. Furthermore, I changed the characteristics and awakened them.

So, how great is this?

‘Is that why you called me?’

At this moment, I felt uneasy.

It was because he remembered what greedy Martin had told him in the past.

– The trait itself was created by some divine being for mortals. It is not necessary for transcendentalists. Characteristics disappear the moment you become a transcendent and walk your own path.

Now that I have become a transcendental person, isn’t the reason why the ‘Star of Awakening’ revealed its presence to me in order to retrieve its characteristics?

If that’s really the case, I won’t be able to return in the future.

Because my regression is rooted in my characteristics.

‘Regression cannot be discarded.’

Being a transcendent doesn’t mean you can’t die.

Therefore, regression is still important even after becoming a transcendental person.

Maybe we should fight with him to stop it.

I made up my mind and sent my thoughts to him.

[Long time no see.]

[Long time no see.]

My attitude is a bit different from before.

Although it’s only been twice, I’ve always lost my mind when I meet the Awakening Star to get the attribute… … .

The moment the conditions were met, he didn’t care what my condition was, he stunned me and took my soul.

But now it’s different.

He didn’t force me.

‘It’s strange.’

Although I have become a transcendentalist, the difference between that and me is still huge.

In front of that, it doesn’t matter whether I’m a transcendental person or a mortal.

Only external force can be used to resist.

Even so, he was behaving much more politely than before.

[Could you spare a minute?]

I was curious, and I shook my head after pondering for a while.

[Not now. I’ll call you after you get out of here.]

[Need more help?]

[no.]

[Then I’ll see you then.]

The guy’s gaze disappeared. I also took my eyes off him.

‘Let’s finish now.’

I turned my head to Arlene.

Even though he was supported by Lamune, he looked fine, but when he lost consciousness, Alin was lying on the ground. And Lamune was protecting her.

pat-

The moment I made up my mind to go where she was, I was already there.

I bowed my head to Lamune.

“Thank you, senior.”

“uh? no no.”

“What happened to Arlene?”

“I lost my mind when I saw my junior getting better.”

“… okay.”

Doesn’t it mean that he gave me such a firm look even in such a situation?

‘Your mental strength is better than mine.’

I sat down next to Arlene and put my hand on her head.

Hwaaa-

A light came on and Arlene’s condition began to rapidly stabilize.

After seeing the color return to my face, I let go.

Aline’s eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

“… brother?”

I held Aline’s hand.

“Yes, it is me.”

“I’m so glad. really… … .”

It feels like you went through a lot of heartache.

Feeling apologetic, I unknowingly averted Aline’s eyes.

But that was just then.

[Hey, you!]

Suddenly, a tremendous voice erupted from behind.

I turn around and see Apollo glaring at me.

Why is that man suddenly having a seizure?

As he tilted his head, he shouted.

[Now don’t use my authority!]

“ha ha ha.”

Laughter burst out without my knowledge.

“Are you laughing now?”

Allin’s words made me laugh.
