Chapter 431: Desperation
“Ugh?”
The Eye, which had been focused on the monitor for a long time, snapped back to reality and looked around.
“…”
The Eye fell silent. Or rather, it couldn’t make any sound anymore.
Its physical form capable of producing sound had disappeared.
…Tch.
It seemed that its plan had succeeded.
The monitor still sparked.
Using that ‘medium,’ it had influenced the other dimension.
Now, no one in ‘this world’ could create variables. There would be no ‘administrator.’Even if the three goddesses returned, it would not change anything.
Pathetic.
The gods of the other dimension had become so reliant on their ‘creations’ sent to other worlds out of fear of losing their worship.
For beings with immortality and divinity, how foolish.
Their actions caused a sharp decline in faith across most dimensions, forcing the gods to become even more dependent on their creations.
And this dimension was no different.
The existence of the Star God and Moon God had long been forgotten, and although the Sun God was still worshiped, it was a false belief.
Moreover, with the corruption of the Church that worshiped her exposed to the world, the Sun God would no longer be worshiped as before.
Yes…
In this dimension, the only means to oppose an entity like the Eye was the emotional energy from the ‘Dark Tale Fantasy’ series, released by the Sun God in another dimension.
That emotional energy was necessary to wield the power of the GM, the world administrator, the ‘main god.’
Because of that insignificant girl…
Initially, the Eye didn’t care much about this fact.
It had already noticed the existence of that series long ago and had intervened to ‘terminate the service’ of it.
The Eye remembered using a considerable amount of power for that task.
At that time, it thought it had the world completely in its grasp.
…I never imagined it would come to this.
The Eye hadn’t expected that insignificant girl to re-release the series.
Had she created it all with her own power from start to finish?
No, that wasn’t it.
From the information it read when it inserted its tentacle, it was clear that the new release was a project the Sun God had been meticulously crafting just before the ‘service termination.’
She had merely preserved it and sent it to another dimension.
That was all.
Such a trivial act…
…But now, even that’s over.
Quietly grinding its non-existent teeth, the Eye resented that its body had melted away into a spirit form due to that trivial act.
Then, it changed its thoughts.
Now, I am the owner of this world…
Until now, there had always been someone recognized by the management system as the ‘main god’ with authority in this world.
The Star God, who was the original main god.
The Sun God, who designed this wretched management system.
The Demon God, who was its subordinate, and even the insignificant girl from earlier.
Their powers derived from this world were extraordinarily strong, necessitating the Eye to indirectly influence the world rather than a direct consumption of the dimension like in other dimensions.
That was why it had made the incompetent Demon God its subordinate to gain main god authority.
But now the situation has changed.
The three gods had lost their memory of the debug room, the newly born goddess didn’t know of its existence, and the insignificant girl occupying that position was gradually fading like ice in a desert.
Once ‘she’ disappeared, no one in this world could oppose its spiritual body.
It was worth burning all the power within the main body.
Using all the energy it had consumed from countless dimensions was a significant loss, but it was worth it to devour this world.
This was a superior dimension, so it was hard for it to consume directly.
If it consumed this dimension, recovering its original size would be a matter of time.
Even if not, as long as its spiritual body remained, it could always plan for the future.
Only Han-byeol had ever reached its true main body, so it should be safe.
…No, come to think of it, that guy will come.
The Eye, shaking its now transparent form, murmured internally.
Frey Raon Starlight, that guy.
Though not certain, its intuition and prediction were usually accurate.
Just as Han-byeol had reached it in the end, Frey would soon reach it too.
The ‘final showdown’ to decide everything would unfold.
Well, there’s no need to worry.
But the Eye, thinking this, smiled inwardly.
He’s weaker than Han-byeol back then.
Indeed, Frey was weaker than Han-byeol of the past.
Even Han-byeol could only cut half of its main spiritual body. How could Frey defeat it?
In the end, I will be victorious.
It was slightly concerned about the conversation Han-byeol had with Frey.
Maybe he had given Frey some ‘lesson.’
But it was all futile.
The measures it had taken rendered those lessons and their experiences meaningless.
With what defined them gone, how could they muster the strength to defeat it?
Now, it’s time to return.
Feeling slightly excited, the Eye murmured internally as it closed its eyes.
How long has it been since my return? I can hardly remember.
The Eye’s true identity was a ‘split-off’ from its main body, left in this world when it was sealed in battle against the Star God.
Of course, there was some difference in personality due to being separated for eons, but the essence was the same.
So even if it merged with the main body’s spiritual form, they would still be one entity.
- Slither…
The Eye, its transparent form scattering, began to merge into the subspace where its main spiritual body resided.
“…!?”
But as it did so, the Eye’s expression suddenly turned to shock.
What is this…?
The main spiritual body it was trying to merge with was completely empty.
…No way.
How could this be? Just moments ago, they were connected, sharing thoughts and emotions.
How did this happen?
Could it be that the main body collapsed?
Panicked, the Eye exerted force through its body.
Restoration… I must restore it.
Tentacles began to extend towards the massive, chaotic spiritual form.
With the information within me, I should be able to restore it…
Just as its tentacles were about to touch the main body, the Eye’s expression changed.
Wait a moment.
Its gaze sharpened.
If I merge as is… won’t I become the main spiritual body?
A strange emotion began to rise within it.
Do I really need to restore it?
A thrilling sensation spread throughout the Eye’s entire being, one it hadn’t felt in millennia.
Am I truly the same being as the main body?
It was a highly human and philosophical question for a transcendental being born from chaos.
Can I really consider myself and the main body as the same existence?
The Eye and the main body had been separated for an incredibly long time due to the Retry by Frey, Ferloche, and Ruby.
Even if thoughts and emotions were connected, a fundamental difference was inevitable.
If I restore it, won’t I be devoured by the main body and cease to exist?
There was a fundamental difference: the ‘emotion’ that had developed within the Eye from observing, feeling, and enjoying all this time.
- Slither…
Staring at the empty spiritual body for a long time, the Eye narrowed its gaze and began to merge once more.
Yes…
Unconsciously exuding the ‘emotions’ that had bloomed without its awareness.
…Now I am the main body.
And at that moment.
- Crackle…
Born in a place where the negative energy from the works sent by numerous gods converged, threatening the entire dimension.
Simultaneously, the most vague and enigmatic existence in the universe.
To all gods of the dimensions.
Ironically, it was newly defined as a concept by the management system.
The God of Chaos has been born.
And this fact.
“…Huh?”
Was conveyed only to Kania, who had the only remaining divinity in the dimension.
“…!?”
And to Roswyn, who had just come to her senses in the dark debug room.
.
.
.
.
.
“What… what is this…?”
Staring blankly at the message floating in front of her, Roswyn tapped and moved it around.
“…Ah.”
Then she saw the monitor crackling with sparks and staggered toward it.
“What… what did you do…?”
Before she could even celebrate her survival, she hurriedly sat down, sensing something was wrong.
From the faint smoke lingering around the computer and the tentacles scattered everywhere, it was clear the Eye had done something.
But what exactly had it done?
“No… no way…”
Terrified, Roswyn began typing frantically.
“Please, please…”
Activating the function to observe the world, she urgently scanned the situation.
“…Phew.”
After a long period of nervous observation, she finally sighed in relief.
“Thank goodness.”
Fortunately, the real world remained unchanged.
At least the worst-case scenario had been avoided.
“Then what exactly… did it do?”
Having let go of some of her worries, Roswyn’s face filled with questions as she resumed typing.
“No matter how much I look, nothing seems to have changed…”
Despite extensive investigation, nothing seemed different.
Judging by the remnants around, it seemed something had been done.
By any chance… Did it meltdown while doing something?
Recalling how the Eye had been melting in real-time while strangling her, she murmured with a more relaxed expression.
“Y-Yeah that must be it… I-It’s nothing more than an outsider…”
Cautiously looking around, she made herself small and silent.
But the Eyeball monster with raised tentacles didn’t jump out.
“Hehe…”
Finally feeling safe, she started to laugh foolishly.
“Then… should I send a congratulatory message…”
Roswyn, now looking timid, began typing.
“Even though it’s shameless…”
She wanted to somehow congratulate Frey and the heroines for their hard work. After much deliberation, she smiled faintly at a simple message.
Thank you for your hard work
~Your rose
“…No.”
Shaking her head, she left only the message ‘Thank you for your hard work.’
“…Huh?”
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
ERROR
“What… what is this?”
Unlike before, a red error message appeared.
“…!?”
No matter how many times she erased and rewrote the message, the same error occurred.
“What… what’s wrong…?”
After numerous failed attempts, she finally realized she could no longer interfere with reality.
“What… what’s the problem…? A bug…?”
Muttering a term from the book left by the Sun God, she searched for the cause, but the truth dawned on her much later.
“…No way.”
Intending to take a break, she tried searching for her exploits in the Blue Star, only to find her face turning pale with shock.
