Chapter 284
Logos.
Jin Cheong-un claimed that he was the one who created the Book of Genesis.
I couldn’t tell if he was a man or a woman, but Jin Cheong-un knew the name Logos and that information was something that Yu-hyun had never heard of in his past or present life.
At this moment, I could clearly tell who had the more advantageous information.
“Then who is Logos? He doesn’t seem to be a Divine Spirit, judging by how you talk about him.”
“Wait. Before that, can you send our lady over here first?”
Jin Cheong-un used the information as a weapon and demanded that Shena Lynch be sent over to his side.
Yu-hyun looked down at Shena, who was sitting hesitantly, and wondered if he should threaten her life as a hostage, but soon decided to give up cleanly.
Jin Cheong-un’s personality didn’t seem to be shaken much by taking Shena as a hostage.
It would be nice to have her, but he wouldn’t risk losing anything to save her.
Nevertheless, the reason why Jin Cheong-un appeared in front of Yu-hyun at the risk of danger was that he also wanted to have a conversation with Yu-hyun in his own way.
Yu-hyun nodded at Shena and told her to go over there.
Shena barely gathered strength in her trembling legs and ran to Jin Cheong-un’s side.
“…I’m sorry. Captain.”
“No, it’s not your fault. The enemy was too strong. You go ahead.”
“What about you?”
“I have something to see for a while. And…I can’t guarantee what will happen after this. Shena.”
“…Okay.”
Shena didn’t act stubbornly and disappeared into the darkness.
As soon as I confirmed that her presence was too far away to follow, Jin Cheong-un opened his mouth.
“So, shall we talk about the Book of Genesis?”
“Logos comes first.”
“Oh, right. Logos. I forgot.”
Jin Cheong-un was still relaxed.
He was undoubtedly strong, but the gap in skill between him and Yu-hyun was overwhelming.
If Yu-hyun reached out and grabbed his neck, Jin Cheong-un would surely die without being able to resist.
He knew that, but he acted so confidently because he had confidence.
‘Is it because he trusts that unknown being next to him?’
Considering Jin Cheong-un’s cautious personality, he wouldn’t have brought a trivial guy who was nothing special as a great power.
He must have brought him because he was sure that the guy in the robe could match this side.
And that was against Yu-hyun, who had already surpassed Mu Shin Wimuk, who had a powerful force.
Or maybe he didn’t think he could win, but at least he thought he could buy some time?
Yu-hyun snorted at Jin Cheong-un’s thoughts.
For now, listening to the explanation about Logos was the first priority.
“Yeah. Where should I start? Actually, I only heard the name Logos, I don’t really know much about him.”
“You don’t know much? Then how did you find out about the name Logos?”
“The golden Book of Genesis that I have told me. Very briefly about who itshis creator and real master is.”
“So you don’t know much about Logos then?”
“There’s only one thing. That Logos has a very big connection with the Genesis Foundation.”
“Foundation…”
It was still unknown and even Dae Sung-gun couldn’t touch it easily.
It was the Genesis Foundation.
The place that created the Genesis System that encompassed the mixed world, and an unknown organization that had some connection with all three Teller organizations.
The fact that Logos, who created the Book of Genesis, and the Genesis Foundation were related didn’t seem unbelievable.
Rather, Yu-hyun thought it was plausible.
‘Yeah. The foundation is definitely suspicious.’
How did they make such a huge system that even the first-generation Divine Spirits couldn’t act freely, and why did Dae Sung-gun have to be careful?
Considering the pride of the Divine Spirits, there was a possibility that they would join forces to take over the foundation.
But rather, the Divine Spirits were strangely timid in front of the foundation.
“Looks like you’re thinking a lot. Can I explain more?”
Yu-hyun roughly nodded his chin and told him to do so.
“The Book of Genesis has existed since the beginning of this universe. I don’t know why Logos made such a thing, but maybe if my guess based on the fragment I got is right, Logos wanted to weave this world into one story.”
“A story?”
“Haven’t you ever wondered? How can the basic structure of the world be letters? How can those tiny letters and letters be so complex and mysterious, and so powerful? As if this world was a book.”
“…”
“Doesn’t a story that someone made up as fiction appear in the real world, and what we thought was a false legend of the past exists in reality? Of course, maybe there was a time we didn’t know in the past. But haven’t you felt it yourself? You should know, since you went to the Moby Dick Realm?”
Yu-hyun couldn’t deny that.
That such a story became reality, and that each of the Phantasms in it had their own lives.
It was too strange to just pass it off as that’s how this world was.
“I think that the peculiarity of this world, and the specialness of the mixed world where all stories become reality, comes from the Book of Genesis.”
“Then, what about the Logos that created the Book of Genesis? Isn’t it literally the omnipotent creator?”
I couldn’t think of anything more than a creator if it was said to have made the foundation of the world.
Then what are the Divine Spirits? Are they just illusions created by that Logos?
Jin Cheong-woon shook his head.
“I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s really omnipotent. Otherwise, the Book of Genesis wouldn’t have been shattered like this.”
“…You said we have fragments. Then what happened to the Book of Genesis?”
“I don’t know why the Book of Genesis became like this. I only know that some kind of incident happened, and because of that, the book was torn to pieces and scattered throughout the universe. What you have, and what I have, are all those scattered fragments.”
Yu-hyun guessed that he got his fragment from his previous life. But there was a huge gap in time between his previous and current lives.
‘Fragments can transcend space and even time.’
How amazing was the Logos that created them?
“Then, why did these fragments come to us?”
“That’s because we’re special.”
“Special?”
“Fragments were originally part of the Book of Genesis. A medium to weave the world with stories. Naturally, those fragments can’t help but react strongly to stories.”
Yu-hyun understood what he meant. 𝒻𝑟𝑒𝓮𝔀ℯ𝓫𝓃𝑜𝓋𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓶
He remembered the conversation he had with Kwon Jiah when they drank together in the past.
For special people, all kinds of events happen as if the world itself is buried.
Getting the Book of Genesis, its fragments, was also a similar thing.
Whether it was because he got the fragments that things happened, or because he was born with such peculiarity that he got the fragments, he put aside his doubts.
He just knew that the fragments themselves had power and will, and more than anything, they were sensitive to stories.
“Fragments have power and will on their own. So they naturally gravitate towards stories that they like or fit in with. There is no boundary between good and evil there.”
Jin Cheong-woon talked about which story was superior and which story was right.
Are fairy tales low and childish stories that only children watch, and philosophical books are great and superior stories?
No.
There is no hierarchy of stories.
Of course, fragments didn’t discriminate people. The cult leader who died in Yu-hyun’s hands was also the same.
He was selfish, greedy, and deceiving people, but the fragment chose him.
His malicious actions were also stories in themselves.
“Kang Yu-hyun Teller. The power of that strange mask you have. In the end, it’s also a fragment. It’s a very large piece that combines four fragments.”
“I know.”
That was what Yu-hyun had guessed.
He thought there was a reason why he absorbed Laplace’s power so naturally when he received his first gift from Satan.
“You seem to have some idea, but you have the power to recognize fragments.”
“I passed it off as prophecy to others, but it’s not really prophecy that my ability has. Rather, it’s more abstract and much bigger than that.”
“You’re telling me that honestly? You’ve come this far and you’re still doubting your collector’s superiority or whatever. Jin Cheong-woon, what do you want?”
Jin Cheong-woon just smiled and didn’t answer.
From his behavior, it seemed clear that he was deceiving even his own followers who trusted and followed him.
No, more than that, even the Tellers of Exodus who supported them.
“Why are you telling me all this?”
“To prepare for what’s to come.”
“What’s to come?”
“Fragments recognize fragments. And fragments call for fragments. You already have six fragments.”
The power of the four great demons, the power to see the other’s book, and the power absorbed from the cult leader.
All together, they were exactly six.
“When all the fragments come together, the world will enter a new phase.”
“Is that what your fragment told you?”
“How else would I know?”
Yu-hyun pondered over what Jin Cheong-woon had told him. The information he gave him was mostly unknown to him as well.
The origin of his ability and where it came from, and the Logos that created it.
And what would happen if all the fragments came together and eventually became the Book of Genesis.
Those were definitely very useful things for Yu-hyun, but
He still couldn’t let go of Jin Cheong-woon who was hiding his true intentions.
“It looks like you don’t know anything more than that, so I guess this is where our conversation ends.”
“I’ve told you so much, can’t you let me go nicely? I can’t beat you no matter how hard I struggle. There’s already a six-fold difference in the number of fragments.”
“You know you can’t do that, that’s why you brought that weird guy with you. And for one fragment, the size of yours is clearly different from others.”
“Oh, you caught me.”
“You know everything anyway, right? Then let’s do it properly.”
Yu-hyun’s eyes burned with rage. He thought that Jin Cheongun would let it go, but he sneered bitterly, saying, “As expected, this is how it turns out.”
The trap that he had set up to get rid of him just in case had given that man even more power.
Jin Cheongun felt the greatest crisis of his life.
Other people said that he only had to be careful of the godless, but well.
The real monster, no, the devil was right in front of him.
“I didn’t want it to come to this, but I have no choice. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Jin Cheongun’s subordinate, who had been silently standing by until now, nodded his head.
Jin Cheongun retreated. He was trying to run away, but Yu-hyun couldn’t pay attention to him.
Jin Cheongun’s subordinate, the guy who had been emitting an extraordinary aura since a while ago, suddenly increased his presence as if it exploded.
“Your loyalty to your leader is admirable, but do you really need to risk your life for it? Get out of the way if you don’t want to die.”
Yu-hyun glanced at Jin Cheongun, who was getting farther away, and glared at his opponent in front of him.
Most collectors would shrink and be scared without knowing it when they met Yu-hyun’s eyes with the mask of Aporia on, but the other party didn’t budge.
As Jin Cheongun completely disappeared and his fragment power hid him, the book that his opponent had revealed itself.
The book had a faint rainbow color.
And the color of the cover and the glow were the same. It meant that he had achieved his potential to the extreme.
And that he had surpassed the high-ranking collectors.
Yu-hyun admired him purely.
‘Where did he come from?’
But soon he had to frown.
‘The color of the book is somewhat murky.’
It was normal for a proper person to have a book that emitted a very bright light. But the opponent’s book was rainbow-colored, but it was very murky.
It looked like something was mixed in it.
As far as Yu-hyun knew, there was only one person who had a book that was black as if it had been soaked in ink.
‘The Book of Satan was like that.’
But the other party’s book was rainbow-colored, but somehow dark. Did it depend on his personality or mindset?
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter right now. If he didn’t get out of the way and tried to fight him, he had no choice but to fight back.
Yu-hyun took a stance and prepared to fight, but at that moment, the robe that the other party wore backwards exploded like a balloon.
What appeared after tearing the robe to pieces were tentacles that couldn’t be seen as human.
“What?”
Yu-hyun backed away quickly before he could wonder about it.
A bunch of tentacles landed where Yu-hyun had been a moment ago.
[Ew! Crazy! What is that!]
Baekryeon felt disgusted when she saw the other party’s appearance.
Until a while ago, Yu-hyun and Jin Cheongun were just staring at each other without saying anything, but then Jin Cheongun ran away and Yu-hyun started fighting with that weird person.
No, that wasn’t a person but a different kind of monster?
HeShe had never heard of a person who had such things in his body (?).
On the other hand, unlike Baekryeon who was surprised, Yu-hyun narrowed his eyes.
He had some strange parts that looked human but not human, and he looked full of dry emotions. He realized it as soon as he saw him.
“You’re a returnee.”
The other party had vanished with banishing and returned to Earth from another world.
