Chapter 133: Ancient God (2)

...

How can he speak like a typical villain so seriously?

It was enough to laugh at, but Surha couldn’t laugh.

“Hey- what do you think a ‘world’ is?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Just answer me.”

“You mean the unique world? That is because of..”

“No-no. I’m not talking about… Never mind.”

Surha shook her head. She could see that Chunghuh did recognize what Surha had asked, but the old man was just pretending that he didn’t understand the question. She and Chunghuh were both 4th stage Awakener. There was one fact that all Awakeners realized after reaching the 4th step.

The ‘world’ they saw until now was only part of an iceberg.

The being that became a [God] went and found a new way to perceive things. Unlike the 3rd step where you could just realize the ‘truth’ of the <System>, 4th step Awakeners were allowed to face the world itself.

Countless information came from all parts of the world.

All this information filled their minds. [Gods] were excited by the flood of information that they had not known until then. They realize that become a [God], and they feel that they are almighty all-knowing. However, they soon feel despair toward the sea of information.

It is because they realize that they can never control the information.

[Gods] then are confused and become corrupt from the influx of information. Some go crazy while some choose to make the decision.

They choose to close their eyes and ears, and refuse to take in the information.

This was called [Seclusion].

It wasn’t considered bad since it was necessary to keep the ego. The Gods who fall in [Seclusion] give up on feeling the giant ‘World’. Instead, they choose to stay within the small world they created and live while growing the world.

This ‘small world’ that the Gods created were called the following.

-Unique World.

Surha remembered the world full of corpses and the giant eye of Asura. Jaehwan’s unique world.

It was a world that made her feel uneasy every time she thought about it. No other unique world contained such a hideous thing, especially the eye. She looked up to the sky. It was the eye that did not exist in her sky. She knew what that eye was supposed to mean.

‘He can see <Big Brother>.’

As far as Surha knew, the only one who could <Big Brother>’s presence was only one existence out of the entire <Depth>. The Master of Rupture. He had told her once before.

-Surha, fight your [Seclusion]. If you succeed, you will see the ‘truth’.

But, Jaehwan was able to see <Big Brother>.

It meant he also succeeded in fighting his [Seclusion].

Yoo Surha was curious.

What was the world like after getting out of [Seclusion]? The world that looked directly into the terrifying <Big Brother> — was that world still one of many [Unique Worlds] out there? No. Maybe that world is…

It was Chunghuh’s voice that brought her back from her thoughts.

“Hey girl, isn’t that the place?”
