Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

126. Body (God’s Body)

#126. Body (God)

“Haa- haa-”

Cynthia looked up at the sky, breathing heavily. It was the same purple sky as before.

But when I looked up at the sky closely, there was one thing that had changed.

The number of stars has decreased.

‘One of the giant stars that decorated the sky has fallen.’

There was no need to think about who that giant star represented.

Corpse-eating mountain.

Who else could there be but the one who just stopped living and met his demise by Cynthia?

“… 98?”

However, the number of stars was two fewer than Cynthia had expected.

Obviously, since we killed Corpse-Eater Mountain, the sentinel who protects District 101, there should be 100 stars there…

“That’s strange… Shouldn’t the number of stars be 100?”

The sky here is a deformed space created by the observer. And the stars seen in the distance are not stars that actually exist in the universe.

Those stars symbolize the guys who serve as ‘guardians’ for each Earth.

And of course, the number should be 101, which is the number of Earths.

Now that one Watchman has been wiped out, there should have been 100.

However, the number of stars was reduced by two, becoming 98.

It was natural for Cynthia to have doubts.

“…Huh? It just came to mind again.”

As I was staring blankly at the sky with doubts in my mind, two sparkles appeared in the sky again.

The number of stars changed from 98 to 100.

“Well, I don’t know what’s what.”

Cynthia took her gaze away from the sky and examined her own body.

We had a really fierce fight with the transcendent beings inside the corpse-eating mountain.

It seemed like I had been on the brink of death three or four times.

Even this figure can be considered lucky… .

“Ah, that was a good shield… This one is disappearing too.”

The transcendent being held in Cynthia’s hand was turning to dust and dispersing.

Since it was made by the divine power of the corpse-eating mountain, it seems that when he disappeared, this shield also disappeared.

“Whew. I got some rest and my health seems to be okay.”

Cynthia shook off her thoughts and decided to move on to her next task.

Now that we’ve taken down the corpse-eating mountain, shouldn’t we finish the final stage?

“… Then, shall we begin now?”

” Adult Identity “

Cynthia’s power.

The final step to fill that first spot.

Although it’s the final stage, it’s nothing special.

“I guess I just have to absorb the transcendence of the corpse-eating mountain.”

All I have to do is swallow the remains he left behind, these blue spheres floating in the air.

Cynthia’s hand made contact with the blue sphere.

And at that moment,

The entire area was bathed in blue light.

***

The human body is weak.

Even if you stand in line among mortals who are within the same standards, not beings who have escaped the shackles, it is the same.

Bottom tier.

The human body was so fragile that it was faster to count how many feet it was at the bottom.

But at the same time, it had a lot of possibilities.

Because they can train their fragile bodies, use magic through those bodies, and tame things.

It was an impossible task for the common race.

This possibility was a blessing granted only to the human race.

That is why they must have produced the most transcendent beings among the mortal races.

The first god of war, Berget.

Heron, goddess of dawn and radiance.

The madness of Arcelius.

Among the lofty gods of the Pantheon whose names were engraved throughout the universe, there were quite a few who were of human origin.

When you say it like this, you might think, “The human body is weak, but it’s amazing! It’s popular even among transcendent beings!”

But that’s not the case at all.

Because the possibilities of the human body are applicable only until transcendence is reached.

Berget, Herondo, and Arceli too.

Other gods of human origin as well.

They are all beings who ‘were’ human.

The reason they were referred to in the past tense was because they elevated their bodies to divine bodies in order to escape the limitations of the human body.

But this process is never easy.

The reason was that the divine power consumed was not insignificant, and above all, it was difficult to even attempt it without someone to help.

but,

All the great gods of human origin whose names are known throughout the universe have formed their own bodies and ascended to the highest realm.

And Cynthia, too, was now refining her own body into the body of a god.

All alone, without anyone’s help.

[The source of the Eucharist]

As she took in the stars, her body transcended that of a human and turned toward that of a god.

Cynthia’s divine power floating around, the power left behind by the transcendence of the corpse-eating mountain. All of these things were intertwined and being absorbed into Cynthia’s body.

After a little while passed,

Cynthia’s body began to metamorphose due to the divine power and transcendence that had been infused into her.

Although her appearance did not change much, her body mutated into a form more suited to martial arts.

Her body was originally a body suitable for martial arts, so there was no significant change other than her height growing slightly.

Instead, things like endurance and strength have become far beyond human levels. Perhaps, although it is not visible or felt, the limits to growth have also disappeared.

Cynthia nodded, seemingly satisfied with the changes taking place in her body.

The body of a god was ideal not only in terms of martial arts, but also in terms of beauty.

“Huh? What, what! Where are my clothes!”

However, the important thing was that after evolution was complete, the clothes dissolved into divine power and disappeared.

[ What god ]

[Why do you keep calling me?]

Berget frowned and looked at Heron.

[ The situation has become serious . ]

[ I know. I told you. ]

[ … So, what I mean is. If you come down to Earth- ]

[ Phew… It’s too early now. If I descend, I’ll face a backlash from the law of causality. I don’t care, but if that happens, the Earth will be in chaos. ]

He was saying that if the causality is not met, Berget cannot descend.

That causality meant that those called the apostles of the Lord appeared on Earth.

When they appear on Earth, sufficient causality will be given.

[ Sigh – Because of what you did, 20% of the middle school students have now escaped to another dimension. If this is the case… I guess I’ll have to refill the Manshinjeon. ]

[ … We didn’t need these people who were of no help to the cause anyway.]

[ You probably don’t have any strength left since all your divine power is being focused on you. ]

[ Didn’t they all leave behind the divine power to escape? ]

[ Well, that’s true, but… that’s up to the guys. I’m a god who respects free will. ]

Berget said this and reached out his hand towards the Earth.

[ I will help you this time… but keep in mind. This is the last help I can give you before the Apostles descend. ]

A part of Berget’s moon was shot to Earth.

“Huh? That’s strange. Clearly… when I saw the future, it was supposed to be like this.”

Grace tilted her head and repeatedly created spears of light, throwing them at the Void Spirit.

Paaat-

Since there was no atmosphere, the spear of light pierced through the air in one breath and reached the Void Spirit without any resistance.

[ Swaaap- ]

However, the Void Spirit opened its mouth wide and swallowed the spear of light she had thrown.

[ slap slap- ]

Not one or two, but all the spears of light that Grace had thrown were put into his mouth.

“… I think things are fucked up. Do you have a plan B?”

“Ahaha. There isn’t any?”

“…don’t joke around.”

“You’re not a crazy b*tch who would joke around in a situation like this.”

“Fuck… .”

I realized that things had gotten really serious.

I followed a guy who was threatening me with a knife and this is what I ended up in.

He wasn’t just a blackmailer, he followed me saying he would keep me safe… but this is how it ended up like this?

“Haa- I would have left you behind even if you weren’t an important person. I can’t do that.”

“… … .”

“If only you weren’t an important figure in the revelation.”

“Stop talking nonsense and come up with a plan.”

“…I’ll think about it.”

Currently, the Void Spirit was being held in check by my bodyguards. They were unleashing various attacks and figuring out the matchup, and the Spirit was chewing up, savoring, and enjoying all the attacks.

‘Does that make sense…?’

Even in the novel, it wasn’t that strong.

[ Mmm – delicious. I was hungry, but I’m full after a long time. I like eating. I’m full – ? ]

The guy’s voice is transmitted into my mind.

[ then – ]

And at the same time, the idea of ​​anger was also conveyed.

[ Now that I’ve filled my stomach, should I get angry? – ]

I could sense an intense anger from the guy, to the point where I almost lost my mind.

[ You dare come here with divine powers, are you prepared to die? – ? ]

The Void Spirit’s red eyes glowed, turning the entire dimension black.

The world has turned black. At that time, when it seemed like all possibilities were leading to death,

Something fell from the sky.
