72 – EP.4 The Melancholy of Nibir, Level 2 God of Dimension Management-3

***

Nibir did not elaborate on the definitions of gods, planes, and mortals.

Such an explanation is not very helpful, because it makes the listener think that it has nothing to do with them.

Nibir briefly informed her of three things.

There are many dimensions in the world.

Kang In-ho, whom Mina cherishes, moves from dimension to dimension whenever he dies.

I don’t know what dimension I moved to.

“So what I have to do is…”

After explaining the origin of the universe, it was short, but considering what she had to do, after a long explanation, the elegant woman asked.

His voice was calm, but he could see his body flinch at the thought that the person he thought was dead was still alive.

“We have to follow him while retracing his whereabouts. Since we can’t pinpoint his current location, we have to find traces of movement in the dimension we visited in the past.”

“Then… you can start from where I used to live.”

“Maybe there’s a pattern we don’t know about, so we’ll start with where he first moved.”

-match!

As Nibir clapped, a crack opened in the space.

Through the gap, the scenery of the city, which was not very different from the place where she lived, spread out.

“It is said that this is the place where he first dimensionally moved. The first destination was set by my junior himself, so it is certain.”

“Then I’ll set out.”

“Uh, uh! Wait a minute. What are you in such a hurry for? You should listen to the warnings before going.”

“…yes, tell me.”

As I stared at her with a look that told me to speak up, Nibir sighed in bewilderment.

‘Aren’t all mortals so fearless these days?’

The person named Kang In-ho who stopped swearing at Ranael, as well as this woman… Don’t you get scared when you say God?

Nibir thought he was an old man, unable to adapt to the fast-changing world.

“Each dimension will have a very different environment. Fortunately, [Earth]’s template is stable and popular, so many gods have adopted it, but there are also fantasy-like dimensions that appear in movies and comics.”

“yes.”

“If you fall into a place like that, you’ll die in your current state. You don’t have any means to protect yourself.”

“ah….”

Perhaps only then did he realize, he opened his mouth slightly and nodded.

Nibir felt sick to his stomach.

“Unlike Kang In-ho, you can’t be resurrected after you die… Ah, why is this impossible? When a person with no other entry record is resurrected, the god of that dimension will know right away.”

“Then wouldn’t In-ho get caught too?”

“Hmm… The existence of Kang In-ho is a little unusual. It’s a form of overlaying the target of the moved dimension. Is it a kind of replacement?”

“Swap…”

“Because I didn’t even notice that he entered the car without permission. I only found out after the law of cause and effect was broken by what you did.”

How surprised I was when I found out that the law of causality was out of order.

Fortunately, I tuned it up before it went off even further, so it’s a shame.

“Anyway, there’s no risk of being resurrected, so I’ll give it the ability to move through dimensions, and draw out the power to defend itself.”

“You’re bringing it out?”

“Yes. Your existence. It embodies the ‘concept’ hidden within it.”

“Is that possible?”

“…I’m a god after all.”

Hearing the most absurd question he had heard in hundreds of years, Nibir shrugged and said:

What does this woman think of me?

“Close your eyes for a moment.”

At Nibir’s words, the woman closed her eyes.

Nibir approached her and placed his fingertips on her stomach.

The hand that touched the pit continued to go in, and Nibir continued to recite something like an incantation.

Before long, something like thick black paint began to flow through the woman’s body, and Nibir withdrew his hand and said.

“Melancholy, lethargy, and regret…a bit sad for a concept that defines you.”

“You’re so right. It fits perfectly.”

A woman with an invisible smile. That smile looked sad.

“The ability was created based on your concept. Now, would you like to stretch your hand thinking that you are drawing power?”

“Like this… Huh?”

As she held out her hand at Nibir’s words, black paint began to spread from her feet and spread throughout the room.

“In the distant past, this concept was called the ‘Ancient Shadow’. This alter ego of you has the ability to devour incapacitated targets and use its abilities for a limited time.”

“Also, it is said that you can materialize a shadow and make something like an object, so I think it’s a good ability to apply.”

“I think it will take some time to get used to.”

The woman said as she clasped her hands and adjusted the size of the shadow.

“Yes. Try to get used to the ability while walking around the dimension in front of you.”

“Okay. Is it over now?”

“There is one more thing. When you enter a dimension, it will tell you what level of god-managed dimension that dimension is. Don’t act.”

“Yes. Are there any dimensions higher than level 1?”

“There’s a place called Unique Dimension. You don’t have to know about it. It’s a well-protected place, so it’s impossible to access with normal techniques.”

“Okay. Then let’s go now.”

The woman who nodded and walked to the gap in the space without hesitation.

Nibir saw her off, wishing her well in her mission.

At the front of the chasm, the woman turned to Nibir and asked.

“By the way… earlier, Mr. In-ho said to switch.”

“yes that’s right.”

“Then the In-ho I used to know isn’t In-ho?”

“…Yes. It’s because the existence was overwritten. By any chance… do you resent him?”

At Nibir’s words she remained silent.

After a long struggle, she, Lee Mi-na, said with a faint smile.

“No, because Inho-ssi is Inho-ssi. I don’t care. Before or after the change, Inho-ssi was like a place for me to rest.”

– Actually, I don’t even know when it changed.

she murmured.

– Jeopah jabuk jebok

“I have to meet Mr. In-ho. I have to meet him and tell him I was wrong.”

“and.”

“I want to tell you that I still love you.”

Stepping into the world she could see through the gap, she said clearly.

“I hope everything goes well, Mr. Lee Mi-na.”

Nibir, who sent Imina away, was depressed.
