Past Life Returner

Chapter 482

I returned to the spot after finding the breastplate. During my absence, the Awakened were advancing toward the Greenwood kingdoms in all directions.

At that time, I could feel how competitive they were just with the power that was transmitted to me.

[You have 1,172,138,391 unallocated XP.]

[System Administrator (Odin) has received 1,172,138,391 XP.]

[You have leveled up.]

[Level: 654 (0.00%)]

There was an explosive movement in my inner world, and it expanded all at once. I had a thrilling experience of my sight shaking for a second.

Meanwhile, the front view that I skimmed through after coming back remained unchanged. On top of the abandoned residence of the orc tribe, the flesh left by the dead evil slave was currently decaying.

[You have entered the Realm of the Ultimate.]

There was no change in the movement near the sky, where Doom Kaos’ and Old One’s energies were delicately in confrontation. Then, Cassian’s gaze appeared as if he had been waiting for my return. Ever since I became certain of Saint Cassian’s betrayal, I had been curious about where that gaze came from.

However, it was impossible to guess his location with just his gaze. It would be best if he contacted me first, but he might have been also cautious as he was aware of the gazes of the others.

Soon, the glances of the perverts who were obsessed with voyeurism began to slowly appear. First was Doom Arukuda, then Doom Kaos, followed by the Old One. Nonetheless, there was a way to block them from watching.

[Odin’s Golden Armor (Item)]

Security was guaranteed inside the absolute warzone created using the armor, unless they broke the barrier and entered. It had an independent time and space. That was the true nature of the warzone imbued in the golden armor.

The very act of copying and pasting the terrain inside the designated space could be considered part of the sacred domain. Although there were distance restrictions and it returned to its original state after a certain time, this was an undeniable fact.

Of course, it was also true that I was able to gain a lot because the Old One had unexpectedly left this, but now it had become useless. As the restriction of returning to the original state, in other words, the restriction of recovering the invested energy was applied to his stuff, it was no use as I could do it with my current ability.

Yes, Odin’s Golden Armor would disappear as of today. There was no need to carry anything that could be created immediately as I wanted. There was work that had to be done before extraction.

[You have found the blueprint ‘Skill (SS) - 4’ from the item ‘Odin’s Golden Armor.’]

[ Odin’s Absolute Warzone (Blueprint)

Code: Skill (SS) - 4

Source: System Administrator (Odin)]

[The blueprint already exists.]

[You have found the blueprint ‘Skill (S) - 20’ from the item ‘Odin’s Golden Armor.’]

[Summon Valkyrie (Blueprint)

Code: Skill (S) - 20

Source: System Administrator (Odin)]

[The blueprint already exists.]

Up to that point was expected. Things that were resolved within the System Administrator’s unique domain had already turned into blueprints. However, there was one blueprint in the armor that had not yet been secured.

[You have found the blueprint ‘Skill (SS) - 5’ from the item ‘Odin’s Golden Armor.’]

[Odin’s Massacre (Blueprint)

Code: Skill (SS) - 5

Source: Item ‘Odin’s Golden Armor’]

[The blueprint ‘Skill (SS) - 5’ has been added.]

It was truly time to say goodbye to Odin’s Golden Armor, God of Storm, God of Death, God of Battle, and God of War. I had stats that provided a boost to the four main attributes through the transformation modes, but it was no longer effective at this point. Therefore, the only regret I had was a slight attachment that had formed over time.

The Extractor began to move. A formless reaction, akin to a giant maw gobbling up its prey, ensued. The battles that I fought while wearing the armor flashed through my mind as it lost its golden hew. The image of me attacking the Great Green grew faint.

[You have gained 1.5 billion XP.]

Indeed, the armor proved its worth as it contained two SS-class blueprints.

[You have leveled up.]

[Level: 655 (0.00%]

I couldn’t help but compare the armor with the Soul Ring, which had the highest XP in the past. Just then, a fact that I had overlooked pierced my brain.

Ah!

***

The Soul Ring was the purified version of Doom Arukuda’s Soul Harvesting Scythe. The XP embedded in it was about four times that of the armor, so it had once allowed my level to skyrocket from the mid-Ender 601 to the Overlord range.

The power of Doom Arukuda that was contained in the ring was not absorbed at that time and vanished. In essence, the Soul Ring could be seen as a vessel containing Doom Arukuda’s authority, but what I had overlooked was that none of the materials that formed the ring was that of Doom Arukuda’s physical body.

Entegasto, the Great Red, and I had to use our own bodies as materials to create powerful forces into items. However, the ring only held Doom Arukuda’s Power without containing even a bit of his body part.

In other words, a power equivalent to six billion XP was used as a material to embrace his Power. This was proof that a force of that magnitude could intervene in the domain of Power.

Of course, in the case of Entegasto and the Great Red, it was not because of a lack of power that they could not create such vessels. Those two were in the realm of the sacred. It was because they could not make such a thing. They didn’t have the ability to form vessels like Soul Ring, and they couldn’t find anything existing that could contain their powers. Hence, they had no choice but to use part of their physical bodies as a substitute.

Whether Doom Kaos created the Soul Ring or not was not the important issue at the moment. The most significant thing was that I realized that a power of approximately six billion XP could intervene in the realm of divinity! It was such an eye-opening piece of information.

Thump, thump.

It didn’t take long for my heart to race from a slow to a pounding beat.

Dudududu-

I saw the answer to the problem that had been blocked for a long time. Originally, I returned with the plan to purify half of the Great Red’s heart after extracting Mana from the armor, but nothing could come before realization.

I had been tirelessly wandering to find a way to remove the binding that was set on me by Doom Kaos. Therefore, it seemed like this would be the last time that I would explore the inner world for a while. If everything went as planned, maybe.

[You have created the skill ‘Absolute Warzone.’]

…

[You have activated Absolute Warzone.]

An independent spacetime began to form around me. First, I needed to get out of Doom Kaos’s sight as he shouldn’t find out what I was doing.

[You are entering System Administrator Mode.]

[* System Administrator and User]

Over a hundred thousand windows, including information about my people and the other Awakened, were displayed randomly, each faintly glowing in blue light. It was similar to the sight of seeing stars studded in the night sky on a large scale.

From the moment I specified one, all other windows disappeared from the view like a stream of comets. Then, the selected window enlarged in front of me.

[System Administrator (Odin) has connected.]

The process of diving into the inner world through immersion was just an old-fashioned way that had to be used before gaining the power of the System Administrator. The content of the window was changing according to my constantly moving consciousness. Then, it fixed at one point.

[* Realm of Divinity]

[It is bound by Doom Kaos’s Constraint.]

At that moment, a window expanded to the side, showing a sight that could only be seen by entering into the inner world. It was filled with a tightly clustered golden aura. There didn’t seem to be any abnormal findings, but once I zoomed in, a black parasite that was binding the area was disclosed. It was thin, but long enough to constrain the entire realm of divinity.

It was not alive, but that thing was binding my realm of divinity. This was why I couldn’t freely manipulate my power, and even if it vanished, the scars left behind would still lock my capability.

It was something I had confirmed when I momentarily escaped from Doom Kaos. If I cut that off, I would be freed from Doom Kaos’s binding. The filthy ‘Doom’ title imposed on me would also disappear then. If I healed the scar left behind, then I would be able to freely control the realm.

Nonetheless, it was tightly embedded in the area that it appeared difficult to cut it off. If I recklessly ripped it off with force, it would damage the entire realm. That was why I had not dared to do it until now.

I also couldn’t calculate how much power would be needed. If I attempted rashly, not only could I get injured, but Doom Kaos would also find out about my attempt. Therefore, a simulation was needed.

[Constructing simulation based on current information.]

This method was difficult to use against my true enemies as it only progressed to the extent that I was aware of. Nonetheless, this was a matter of dealing with myself. There was no way it could be more precise than this.

The window that was handling reality flew to the side. Then, the windows with the prepared simulation replaced the spot, indicating that all preparations were complete. This was probably how a doctor felt when connecting each bundle of nerves through a medical microscope.

[Simulation (1) has started.]

My small scalpel had six billion virtual XP, just like when the Great Silver had condensed everything into the small blade to kill me.

Shall we start the procedure then?

[Simulation (1) has failed.]

[Result: System Administrator (Odin) incapacitated, activation of the trait ‘Man Who Overcomes Adversity,’ System Administrator’s death, transfer of soul - Life Vessel, Privilege ‘System Administrator’ lost]

…

[Simulation (3) has failed.]

[Result: System Administrator (Odin) incapacitated, activation of the trait ‘Man Who Overcomes Adversity,’ System Administrator’s death, transfer of soul - Life Vessel]

…

[Simulation (6) has failed.]

[Result: System Administrator (Odin) incapacitated, activation of the trait ‘Man Who Overcomes Adversity’]

…

[Simulation (16) has succeeded.]

Finally, on the sixteenth attempt, I succeeded.

[Result: Release of Doom Kaos’s binding.]
