Episode 251: Transcendence -1-
Transcend –1-
Add the main ingredient and four magic cores.
Chewy!
Extract horsepower from the horsepower cylinder.
Next, add the core ingredient, four drops of blood.
Four drops of blood fall into a giant transparent magic cauldron.
Just before the two of them started to react against each other, I poured out the nectar I had prepared in advance.
Not one or two bottles, not three or four bottles.
A whopping 100 bottles.
Chooah! Chooah!
The nectar evaporates and the blood droplets begin to vaporize and mix together.
It was at this time that the remaining ingredients were added.
Expensive materials such as Demon King’s Blood, Angel’s Tears, Ice Shards, and Otherworldly Lava Stone are used without sparing a single bit.
Just considering this, it must have cost hundreds of billions?
Some would have been penniless if they hadn’t sought it out themselves.
Swaaaah.
Ingredients melt one by one in a transparent magic cauldron.
A magic circle flickers around.
It is a variable three-dimensional magic circle.
Not only is it built in 3D, it is also the most advanced and advanced magic circle technology that allows the applied magic circle to change every second.
[Humans are quite the people.]
The river goddess floating in the air.
No, said the incarnation.
[This magic circle is actually being implemented.]
“It was given to me by the goddess Gaia.”
[What the heaviest mother gave me was nothing more than a blueprint. The one who implemented it was this magic-eating hippopotamus.]
A goddess smaller than the palm of one’s hand tapped on the pillar.
Actually, it wasn’t a pillar, it was part of a computer.
A magical science supercomputer that Seo Woo-jin installed while renovating the Sky Ship.
The main body is on the bridge, but part of it is connected to the private room I’m in now.
“It’s easy because the goddess is here. It would have taken quite a while with the original magic spirits.”
[Of course. If you are grateful, then quickly become level 8. You, don’t you know the swordsmanship? You can’t challenge level 8 in your current state.]
“I know.”
To put it simply, I lack experience.
You need to be at least 99.99% sure to be able to drink the reconstitution potion.
The elixir of reconstruction before my eyes will be completed within a day, but I am not ready yet.
Even if you are blessed by Poka, the goddess of rivers and the world tree, it is the same.
Maybe it was about half full?
Mulberry!
So I opened the bottle of nectar.
I pour myself into the top-quality magic bathtub that has been prepared in advance and installed in a private room.
Ten bottles, twenty bottles, a hundred bottles… … .
It even goes beyond the unit.
It wasn’t even 100 bottles, it was 1,000 bottles.
Not enough to fill a magic bath, but enough to fill a diluted solution.
The goddess who had been watching shook her head.
[What an incredible luxury. Even when I lived in Seket Aaru, I never saw such luxury.]
“I do it because I need to.”
[Be careful. Anything in excess becomes poisonous. Nectar does not guarantee you only glory and honor.]
“I will keep that in mind.”
Soak your body.
In the nectar dilution, in that golden liquid, in the solution that holds the Milky Way.
“Hoo!”
My body immediately felt hot.
The magic power begins to fluctuate.
My spine feels like it’s on fire and my mind turns white.
I consciously focused my mind and looked inside myself.
[Diamond Body][Indomitable][Magic Brain]
[Meditation][Rest][Relaxation]
A pre-determined set of characteristics.
It’s the best trait to keep my mind sane.
In particular, the three characteristics of Meditation, Rest, and Convalescence were effectively dispersing the great power of Nectar.
‘It would be better if there was some reflection or introspection… … .’
There’s nothing you can do about what doesn’t exist.
I closed my eyes and fell into meditation.

——————
Spend time contemplating the inner power that swirls around like starlight.
I felt a force rushing in from outside like a storm.
I don’t really need to do anything.
Naturally, the body, mind, and soul are strengthened together.
This feeling of elation rising high.
This feeling of liberation unfolds widely.
Even before taking the elixir, it feels like I just took the reconstituted elixir.
The world is expanding.
My mind, which was so small, and my consciousness, which was as small as a grain of rice, are approaching like Mount Sumeru.
And so, and so, all my thoughts are in it… … .
‘No way.’
It was a close call.
I barely opened my eyes.
Just a moment ago, I almost got drunk on the power of nectar.
If that were the case, I would have been in a vegetative state due to the [Unmarried] debuff.
In the game, it was better to take a few months off, but how was it here?
The goddess flew in front of me as if she was happy.
[You almost got into trouble. It’s a good thing you came to your senses. If I had used my strength, you would have woken up, but you would have had to recuperate for at least three months.]
“Oh, thank you. But I feel relieved because the goddess is here.”
[By the way, it seems like it’s almost done?]
“Yes. That’s how I feel too.”
I got out of the magic bathtub.
The clear water was rippling.
The nectar solution has lost its strength and turned into water.
Most of them were destroyed, and only a small amount of their power was absorbed into me.
The efficiency is extremely poor.
However, the best way to gain experience without debuffs is to take a nectar bath.
“It’s over once the elixir is ready.”
He said this while looking at the magic cauldron spinning furiously.
The pot is filled with a substance that is neither gas nor liquid, but rather in a plasma state.
Still not finished.
The magical power extracted from the four magical cores is roughly sprayed into the magic cauldron.
When completed, wouldn’t it transform beyond plasma into pure force?
The river goddess flew towards me fluttering her wings.
[I think it’s still not enough.]
“Yes? It’s enough for my calculations.”
[I don’t think so. Don’t you have some special ability? Take a look with your ability.]
If I take a nectar bath, I get 99.99 at level 8, so why is that?
I changed the traits gradually.
The ears and the sixth sense.
Just in case, he put on the prophet’s ring that he had taken off, and he also put on a golden dragon belt and phoenix shoes to wear the golden eye.
And ask yourself:
If I take the elixir of reconstruction, will I be able to reach level 8?
uh…….
Is it weird?
Why don’t you think it will work?
Why do I have this strong feeling that I’m going to fail?
“Why is this happening? This can’t be happening.”
[That’s because you, the sword master, aren’t ready yet.]
“Ready? I’m ready.”
[Tsk tsk. I still haven’t gotten the hang of it.]
The goddess who was flying in the sky landed on the desk.
He takes the glass cup to the water purifier and turns it on.
Choaaaah!
Water is pouring down.
I was filling the glass cup until it was almost overflowing.
Water soaks the floor under the purifier, but the goddess shows no intention of stopping the purifier.
[Black. You seem to think of the level as this glass cup, but you are wrong.]
Glass cup.
That is, the experience bar.
[Think about it. Up to level 7, it is commonly said to be the realm of the superhuman. It has surpassed humans, but is still within the realm of humans. So isn’t level 7 called the ultimate realm?]
“Yes, I know that.”
[From level 8, you should consider it as having half a foot on the divine throne. That’s why the term ‘transcendence realm’ is used. That’s also why level 8 superhumans are called ‘transcendents.’ Okay, let me ask you something.]
The goddess tapped the glass cup still overflowing with water.
[Is this a glass cup or not?]
“It’s a glass cup.”
[That’s right. It’s a glass cup. No matter how much water you pour into it, it’s still a glass cup. So let me ask you one more question.]
The goddess who looks at me.
It is an incarnation created simply by brewing water.
Although there were no pupils or anything, it seemed as if Parrani’s eyes were shining.
[If you pour nectar over a human being, will that human being cease to be human?]
Suddenly, my heart sank.
If you think about it, that’s true.
Levels 7 and 8 are definitely different from the levels below.
Something beyond human.
A divinity that surpasses superhumans.
It is a level-up process that should be defined in that way.
To use a glass cup as an analogy, it is like a glass cup being reborn as a transcendent cup made from the element of water.
The goddess sat down on the edge of the desk and whispered.
[Black. You need more to reach level 8.]
There was no such thing in the game.
Just feed it nectar and ambrosia and then feed it a reconstitution elixir.
Debuff?
Just put it somewhere appropriate.
In a resort area with magic springs or sacred springs.
“What should I do?”
[There are several ways. First, I will tell you what your problem is. Black. Your body is already prepared. Through the reconstitution elixir you have consumed, through the trials, and through the nectar bath you just tried, you have acquired the greatest power for a human. No demigod will be able to overpower your body. This is an achievement that even Hercules of the north, no, of old Olympus, could not achieve during his time as a human.]
That’s probably it.
If we look at just ability scores, wouldn’t all abilities be around 999?
Of course, the limit of Arcane Seoul’s ability is not 999.
[What about the soul? Sword Master, you are the Almighty. You have opened the path to divinity through endless reincarnation. If you are ready, you can break the chains of reincarnation and ascend at any time. Let me ask you a question. Your body and soul, both of which point beyond humanity to divinity, why do you think you have not even reached level 8 and are stuck at level 7?]
What kind of nonsense is this?
I was about to say I didn’t know, but then I thought about it.
I have pride too.
The pride that only Arcane Seoul had was stagnant water, or rather, rotten water.
I’ve dug into every setting and every NPC line, so I don’t want to GG here.
After much thought, a concept came to mind.
‘… … A piece of divinity?’
But this is not it.
The Shard of Divinity is required when you reach level 9.
Not level 8.
Level 9 and Level 8 both have the commonality of being transcendent and possessing divine status.
‘Wait. Are you a god?’
This setting wasn’t that important in the game.
To be exact, it existed only in the settings.
[All characters can be level 9.]
Level 9.
That is, the constellations.
In other words, divinity, god.
[What rank a character will have is determined at level 8.]
When you successfully obtain a Shard of Divinity and reach level 9, each character will be given a nickname.
On the character card.
Right next to the name.
Like [God of Swords] or [God of Magic].
Even if the characters are the same, the nicknames can be different.
I’ve created [Sword God] Kim Jeon Sa, [War God] Kim Jeon Sa, [Guardian God] Kim Jeon Sa, etc.
It is the characteristics that determine the tinnitus.
When you reach level 9, your nickname is determined based on your traits.
Strength came into my eyes on its own.
‘Character is life.’
Let’s think about Baek So-rin.
Even if the Thousand-Slayer nature is a unique trait, he gained indomitability after recovering from being bitten by a zombie, woke up to the power of a runaway train because he fought like crazy, and opened up the ability to narrowly escape death after barely surviving.
As such, a character’s traits reflect that character’s life.
Directionality.
Or belief.
A character’s set of traits can be named so.
Then what about me?
What about my trait change?
What philosophy did I have, and what kind of mind did I have?
I thought I knew a little bit.
“Are you a god?”
It can be expressed in many ways, but what I expressed is only one.
God’s position.
Should we call it the realm of the divine, or should we call it the throne of God?
Every god has his own domain.
Thor is lightning, Gaia is the earth, and so on.
If so.
Let’s say I jump from level 8 to level 9.
Then what kind of god will I be?
God of Swords? God of Warriors?
It’s ambiguous.
In short, I can’t decide for sure.
So, is that why you can’t reach level 8?
[Correct.]
The goddess gave her approval.
[That is the problem. Black Star, you have only acted for your own survival so far. You have never thought about your identity for a moment. Your soul is supreme and your body is stronger than the Giant King, but that is all. Unless your ego is firmly centered, unless your spirit becomes the pillar, the supremacy of your soul and the strength of your body are both meaningless and meaningless.]
The center of the self, the pillar of the mind.
“How can that be strengthened?”
[It’s experience.]
The goddess answered mercilessly.
[Only those who have overcome countless crises, experienced pain and despair, stood up and established their self through that process, walked their own path, and finally reached the pinnacle of life can possess a spirit befitting a transcendent being.]
“I, too, have had a difficult life.”
[Yes. I can see it too. I didn’t know it when I first saw it, but I can see it as I keep looking. I still can’t see the life before I achieved the supreme soul, but I can see three lives.]
“Three lives?”
Not two, but three?
The goddess did not answer.
He just keeps saying whatever he wants to say.
[I understand that you suffered and had a hard time. So what did you gain from it? There is a lot of accumulated things in your subconscious, and if you digest them, you will gain a spirit worthy of being a transcendent being, but experiences that are not reflected on and digested are just a lump of seaweed in the sea of the subconscious.]
The goddess’s words were meaningful.
When I think about it carefully, it becomes clear.
Here, without me having to do anything else, just looking back at myself means that I have met the conditions to become level 8.
“I need to meditate.”
[Yes. But is that okay? It seems to me that I need to meditate, contemplate, and reflect like a practitioner for at least a few months.]
That’s difficult.
If you have the characteristics of thinking and reflecting, it will take a long time to acquire them even if you start now.
At least one month.
Of course, there is no time to meditate leisurely!
“Goddess, isn’t there a better way?”
Actually, I didn’t expect much.
Even if he is a god, he is a being within this world.
I thought you would know less about this world than I, who observed it through games outside of it.
To conclude, my prediction was wrong.
If there is knowledge that can only be obtained from outside the world, then there is also knowledge that can only be obtained from within the world.
The goddess stared at me.
No, not me, but he was staring intently at a specific part of me.
Lower abdomen.
In martial arts terms, it refers to the place where the danjeon is located.
Then, the magical power that had been hardened like a rock began to stir.
The power that the Eastern Army Corps Commander passed on to me.
[Hero] Trait.
