Genius Regressor Makes Mythic Items

The Heavenly Realm.

Among the many dimensions that appear in the Galaxy Arena, it is considered one of the supreme dimensions along with the Infernal Realm.

A place where radiant and holy light always exists, boasting an eternal morning.

Boom!

A dark night arrived. The reason was none other than this.

-You’ve completely lost your nerve.

As if it had been completely obliterated. A mass of black-purple tentacles darkened the blue sky.

Crunch.

They were distorting all the radiant light of the Heavenly Realm. And that wasn’t all.

-Hmm.

-The atmosphere is filled with divine energy. Very unpleasant.

A face with two horns and two eye sockets emitting jet-black demonic energy. And another face, equally dripping with dark demonic energy from its eye sockets and beard.

Baal, whose form is made of demonic energy, which is the opposite of the divine energy that is the essence and representative energy of the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Demon were swallowing all the surrounding light.

But.

“This, this can’t be!”

“……”

The reason why Raphael and Gabriel, two of the highest-ranking constellations in the Galaxy Arena, were astonished was completely different.

‘The Black Goat, Baal, and the Heavenly Demon…!’

The Black Goat, Baal, and the Heavenly Demon.

These three beings, who had brought the night to the Heavenly Realm, stood at the most extreme position opposite to the Heavenly Realm.

However.

“You all….”

Soon, Gabriel, having regained her original appearance, and in the same emotionless voice as before.

No.

“How dare the filthy sovereigns of the demonic energy set foot in the exalted Heavenly Realm.”

She stared at the three beings who had brought the night to the Heavenly Realm with a voice filled with a slight hint of anger.

-Ohhohohot!

Rumble.

The entire space.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the entire dimension of the Heavenly Realm was trembling from the presence of these beings. The Black Goat burst into a maniacal laugh of admiration.

-What a reckless wench. Truly reckless! Ah, you boys stay back? We’re short on cause and effect.

With her laugh.

Squelch.

The mass of black-purple tentacles that were her form began to spread, devouring the sky of the Heavenly Realm.

Soon.

-You ask how we set foot here? Ha! For an archangel, you’re quite slow. Isn’t it strange?

Mocking Gabriel.

-The Yahweh I know was a perfectionist… But his daughter is this stupid.

The spreading tentacles traced graceful curves in response to the Black Goat’s laughter.

“You! How dare you speak his name carelessly!!”

For the first time, Gabriel, who had been emotionless like a machine so far, showed the emotion of anger.

This soon led to.

The release of silver light from the rapier held in her hand.

Screech.

The rapier was immediately swung towards the sky.

Surprisingly.

Swerch.

The sky, distorted into darkness, split exactly in half.

Considering it was the sky being devoured by the Black Goat.

What was severed by a single slash was none other than her own domain.

-Hoho. Quite skillful, I’d say.

With a sinister laugh.

Crunch.

The sky, which had been cleanly divided in half, clung back together with an unknown tearing sound.

Soon enough.

-The level of a high rank, indeed.

The sky healed without a trace, as if it had never been cut.

In response.

“It’s truly worthy of being called the other side’s matriarch. Such a level of distortion is truly revolting.”

Gabriel’s eyes were filled with revulsion.

-Ohhoho! Truly a reckless wench, talking so much even in this situation. But what can you do? Even if I do like a madwoman…….

The Black Goat trailed off with a joyful laughter.

Then.

-I dislike impudent wenches.

As soon as she finished her words.

Swerch!

One of the tentacles devouring the sky twitched. In what could really only be called the blink of an eye from Kim Shimun’s perspective.

Swerch.

“Gah!”

Gabriel’s limbs were severed.

“Ga, Gabriel!”

Raphael, greatly shocked by her being split into five pieces in an instant, immediately turned golden.

Flutter.

Eight wings identical to hers, warm and pure, fluttered.

A protective barrier of a level different from what had been seen from the likes of her and Gabriel unfolded, but.

Was it that she had no intention of doing more?

-Huh~ If you had taken out all your wings like your sister from the beginning, it wouldn’t have ended up like this. Truly foolish, are you really an archangel?

The Black Goat sneered.

-Haha! Don’t you know what kind of person the Archangel is? Spoiling and pampering siblings without discriminating strength.

-Well, they say ignorance is courage. That’s why someone not even at the level of a King dared to flap her mouth in front of me.

She continued to mock Gabriel along with the Heavenly Demon.

“Gabriel! Are you okay?”

Raphael restored Gabriel’s limbs with a light similar to hers.

But.

Crackle.

“Ah!”

Was it just a matter of simply severing the limbs?

“Damn! Vo, Void!”

A purplish-black spark erupted from the severed limbs, constantly hindering Raphael’s healing.

The Black Goat watched this with a sticky laugh.

-Hoho. Angel of healing, do you know why I went through the trouble of keeping this impudent thing’s life intact?

Turning her back to the mocking voice.

“Holy Spirit!”

Raphael poured out even brighter golden light, but that was all. Was it impossible to heal even with the power of an archangel?

Crunch.

“Ugh!”

The void did not subside at all and continued to consume Gabriel’s severed parts.

‘This, this can’t go on!’

Raphael bit her lips tightly.

‘Unless Father or Michael steps in, there’s no way to eradicate this void!’

However.

The great Father had entrusted the Heavenly Realm to them and stepped back.

‘And of all times, Michael is absent too!’

Michael, the archangel responsible for the Heavenly Realm in his stead, was not present. Currently, in the Heavenly Realm, there was no one who could neutralize the void of the Black Goat.

Thus, only one path remained. With an anxious face, Raphael bit her lips and quickly lifted her head.

“K-Kim Shimun-nim! Please help us! At this rate, Gabriel’s divinity will be severely damaged!”

She pleaded to Kim Shimun. The one who summoned those three monsters.

The only way was for Kim Shimun to step in.

Kim Shimun looked at Raphael’s teary eyes for a moment.

‘Raphael has been kind to me and shown interest in Yujeong as well….’

Moreover.

‘Given the mythic-grade alchemy materials and the strategic disadvantage of antagonizing the Heavenly Realm, should I pacify this situation?’

The Heavenly Realm, which rivals the Infernal Realm. Moreover, it’s a dimension with a friendly relationship with the Galaxy Arena.

After calculating, Shimun spoke.

“Black Goat-nim.”

He turned his gaze to the sky.

However.

-Boy? Even if it’s your request, this time I can’t hold back.

Was Gabriel’s behavior that offensive?

The Black Goat shook her head, expressing refusal.

-Today, even if I sever ties with the Heavenly Realm, I will completely…

To that.

“Nunaa~.”

Kim Shimun threw in his trump card he had been saving.

-….

-….

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the ominous night of the Heavenly Realm.

-… Ha! Really. This charming child!

It seemed effective on the target.

Squelch.

-What am I supposed to do with you being so kind-hearted! That’s why I can’t stop worrying about you!

Somehow, the long extended tentacles gently brushed Kim Shimun’s head and shoulders. The sight was exceedingly shocking.

“My goodness….”

Raphael, of course.

‘To stop that crazy woman with mere words…!’

And Gabriel, who had her limbs severed.

-Haha. Do you like such a title so much? Baal, isn’t the Black Goat older than you?

-Hmm.

Even the Heavenly Demon and Baal were left with their mouths agape.

***

Was it thanks to the void of the Black Goat being withdrawn?

“Thank you, Raphael.”

Gabriel, who had quickly restored her limbs with Raphael’s help, regained her original appearance.

Raphael looked at her with an earnest face that didn’t quite match her usual demeanor.

“Gabriel, please don’t complicate the situation any further.”

“Raphael, I’m just following my beliefs…”

“Enough.”

Raphael cut her off firmly.

“Regardless of all other reasons, Shimun is my guest. The one who acted violently first was you, and that was rude.”

Her pure light-green eyes clearly held rebuke.

“I won’t insist on an apology. However, I will not tolerate any further interference. Consider this a warning.”

Was it rare for her to get angry?

Gabriel looked slightly shocked at Raphael’s serious expression.

Soon.

“Summoning you without a proper procedure and causing such rudeness is truly regrettable. I apologize, Kim Shimun-nim.”

Raphael turned and bowed respectfully.

To that.

“… Raphael. There’s no need for you to bow your head.”

Gabriel, who had approached unnoticed, placed her hand on Raphael’s bowed shoulder.

And then.

“This is my wrongdoing. It is not your responsibility.”

She pulled Raphael up.

“Player Kim Shimun, I sincerely apologize for my hasty actions and all the rudeness.”

She bowed her head respectfully. Underneath her shimmering silver bob.

“Also, I would like to thank you for asking the Matriarch from the other side to spare me.”

Her voice, characteristically businesslike and unemotional, was heard. Apology and gratitude. Not exactly the voice suited for these gestures.

But it was solely due to Gabriel’s tone. Her restrained actions conveyed genuine sincerity.

“Well, it’s alright.”

Kim Shimun accepted her greeting without any particular sarcasm. Only then did Gabriel lift her head. Her face was still restrained in emotion, but.

Kim Shimun could tell.

“May I ask you one thing?”

A small hint of curiosity lingered on her face.

“Go ahead.”

“Before you received Raphael’s invitation…”

Gabriel’s gaze drifted to the three beings darkening the sky of the Heavenly Realm behind Kim Shimun.

Then.

“Did you anticipate their involvement?”

She looked back at Kim Shimun.

“Of course.”

Kim Shimun nodded affirmatively.

“After all, I wasn’t summoned through the official procedures of the Arena, right?”

Just like when he alchemized the Constellation’s Martial Art and received the call of the Heavenly Demon in the past.

For a player to face a Constellation, they had to go through specific procedures set by the Galaxy Arena.

The proof of this is the system window. However. No message window appeared during Raphael’s summoning.

This meant.

‘Raphael didn’t summon me through the procedures set by the Arena.’

It means he was called without going through the Arena. In fact, such calls from constellations occasionally happened in his previous life.

‘The fate of players summoned in this way usually wasn’t good.’

Kim Shimun knew well that their ends were mostly not favorable. But on the contrary.

“As you said, I am a mere mortal. Meeting a being like a Constellation without any procedures. I obviously need to have some insurance.”

If he had a backing presence. It wouldn’t be much of an issue, as he had learned from the survivors in his previous life.

Gabriel nodded slightly at Kim Shimun’s words.

“…… You understand the rules of causality better than I, a Constellation, do.”

“Rather, Gabriel, aren’t you overly indifferent to such matters?”

“Indifferent, huh…”

Though it was a statement that might upset a Constellation.

“That’s true.”

Gabriel immediately nodded. Her silver eyes looked at Kim Shimun with a calmer gaze.

‘From the moment the official Arena procedures were bypassed, causality takes effect.’

The causality of her action, ‘injuring Kim Shimun’. This led to Kim Shimun having the rightful qualification to deal with the resultant causality.

Especially, given the nature of causality, where the party that faced the aftermath is more advantageous than the party that caused it initially.

‘It was my rash action.’

Gabriel’s actions were nothing short of the pinnacle of folly. Eventually.

‘I should have thought about why Raphael treated Kim Shimun with such high regard. I just acted on my beliefs…’

Her belief that ‘there is no compromise when it comes to heresy’. Her hasty actions consequently created this butterfly effect. Gabriel’s complexion darkened rapidly.

Kim Shimun, who had been quietly watching her, spoke calmly.

“Gabriel, no matter how right your belief is to you, it doesn’t necessarily apply to everyone.”

Gabriel’s darkening eyes turned vacant.

Why?

“My belief… isn’t the same for everyone…?”

Kim Shimun’s words penetrated her mind deeply.

‘Indeed… today’s events are all catastrophes caused by my belief. Beyond right and wrong, it’s because I blindly trusted only my beliefs.’

Upon realizing this simple truth.

Shine.

Her silver eyes gleamed brightly.

Then.

Flap!

Like Raphael’s.

Eight wings unfurled behind Gabriel’s back.

Her cold, silver wings now bore a faint blue hue, giving off a sense of wisdom and gentleness.

In Kim Shimun’s eyes, a small spark of interest appeared.

‘It’s like metal transforming into ice-water.’

From metal to ice-water.

Though the coldness remained unchanged.

‘It feels like something that was once solidly frozen is now beginning to flow slowly….’

This unfamiliar change was not felt by Kim Shimun alone.

-Ha! Isn’t this outright robbery? Pointing a sword first, then gaining enlightenment?

-Haha. Indeed, just as you said, she’s a crazy woman. Enlightenment in this situation, really?

-Hmm.

The three constellations forming the night of the Heavenly Realm each let out their own bemused laughs.

“Aah… Gabriel! Finally!”

Raphael clasped her hands tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, as she gazed at the now vigorously flowing slivery-blue light.

Soon enough.

Swoosh.

Like her master’s character.

The cool, silvery-blue light spread out in all directions like rain.

Within it.

“Indeed. Belief… Blind and rigid belief has rather been a poison.”

A voice that was purely businesslike and unemotional. But one that radiated wisdom so profound that even the dullest could feel it.

Tap.

Gabriel took a step forward.

“There is nothing absolute; this was the teaching that Father always imparted to me….”

Around her, silvery-blue droplets of light floated leisurely.

“Kim Shimun-nim. Thanks to you awakening that teaching in me, I have taken a step closer to His side.”

“Huh? Um… I wouldn’t call it a teaching….”

Kim Shimun scratched his cheek, somewhat embarrassed by the sudden gesture from the archangel.

“What can I say? To me, it’s a sort of truth. Maybe because I’m an alchemist, but no matter how verified a theory is, it doesn’t always apply the same way. This case is no different.”

“A truth… Indeed. This realization is approaching you in the form of that truth.”

Gabriel nodded slowly within the silvery-blue droplets.

Then.

Approaching Kim Shimun.

“For everything, though forms may differ, the essence remains the same.”

For the first time since her birth.

“This Gabriel.”

She knelt to no one.

“Expresses infinite gratitude and respect for your truth and teaching.”

She bowed deeply and solemnly. And above her head.

Whoosh.

-Hmm?!

-This, this is!

-Ha! What’s gotten into that old recluse?

An indescribable light descended.

Is Yahweh appearing?
