Chapter 131 – Second Name

Grrroooowwl!

Right after Mirinae’s 1-time Summoning Right was granted to all who heard her True Name.

Finally, the will of Prometheus that formed the seal completely collapsed, and the Mad Blood Duke regained his full Grade.

“……!”

[Great Feat, ‘Apostle Will Collapse’ has been achieved….]

[The Darkness Constellation records Blundell Violet’s Feat and….]

[4th Awakening Skill 《Spirit Particle Collapse》 has Bloomed….]

…….

In other words, it meant Blundell’s Awakening Skill had collapsed the will of the seal left by the Apostle.

Although it was only a Fragment, collapsing an Apostle’s will became a Great Feat, completing Blundell’s Four-star promotion.

And as his Historical Alteration ended, Rough’s Historical Alteration, which had been forcibly attached to his records, also ended.

Plop.

The moment Blundell’s Formless Sword Demon Armor returned to reality, the view illuminating Arpelgia’s Void Fairy Path was severed.

The Shadow God of Rough, who was in Hyu’s Reverse World, also disappeared.

‘Now all that’s left is Hyu’s 6-Star completion.’

But before finishing Hyu’s Historical Alteration, there was something to check first.

As he was freed from Prometheus’s seal, the Mad Blood Duke’s star was also incorporated into Mirinae.

[Quest ‘Singularity Collection’ has been resolved.]

[The second name of the Nameless Constellation is Unlocked as a reward.]

It was time to check Mirinae’s second name.

‘It’s not a Constellation Name?’

However, contrary to expectations, Mirinae’s second name was not a name as a Constellation.

Just like the name ‘Mirinae’, another name for the individual flowed into his mind.

“…Möbius.”

The moment he uttered Mirinae’s second name.

[A new Aspect of the Nameless Constellation awakens.]

[The presence of the Nameless Constellation becomes significantly clearer.]

[Möbius’s Innate Authority [Pure Chaos] is restored.]

Whoosh!

From the ceiling of the Reverse World, hiding her presence, Mirinae’s Projection, who had been watching his Historical Alteration, leaped down to the floor.

Just like when the Primordial Chaos Authority was restored, half of her hair was dyed pure white Starlight, turning half-white and half-black.

But her gaze, deeper than before, felt unfamiliar.

Grrroooowwl-

Moreover, while it was the same half-white, half-black, unlike before, the left and right of the black and white were reversed.

Something was clearly different.

She was not the Mirinae Lee Hanseong knew.

“You… who are you?”

In response to Lee Hanseong’s question, the being that had newly taken over Mirinae’s Projection answered calmly.

“Did you not call me? I am Möbius. Möbius of Pure Chaos.”

“What did you do to Lady Mirinae?”

“Mirinae? Ah, you mean the Aspect of Primordial Chaos.”

The being who introduced himself as Möbius chuckled and continued.

“Here. Right before your eyes.”

For a moment, he didn’t understand the words.

“What… does that mean?”

“This body is both Mirinae and Möbius.”

Hyu’s face, possessed by Lee Hanseong, contorted at the answer that came out in Mirinae’s speech style.

He could guess what kind of situation Mirinae was in.

It was clear she had lost the initiative to Möbius.

‘Is it a state like split personality? How do I get Mirinae back? Is Möbius an enemy?’

His mind was complicated with various thoughts.

As if seeing through Lee Hanseong’s state, Möbius soothed him in a gentle tone.

“Whoa, whoa. Don’t be so wary. Mirinae and I aren’t exactly hostile or anything.”

“…Then what is your relationship?”

Lee Hanseong also judged that the other party didn’t have ill intentions and asked politely.

“We are beings who share an Axis. Unlike the usurpers who currently occupy the Heavenly Palace, the Axis we possess is so vast that three Apostles were needed to fully Grasp it.”

“Three… So besides Mirinae and you, there’s one more.”

It seemed Mirinae could only escape the Nameless Constellation and regain her Constellation Name once the final Aspect also awakened.

“Correct. I don’t remember who it is, perhaps because it was erased, but there was definitely one more.”

“Alright. I understand you’re not Mirinae’s enemy. But why did you take over Mirinae’s Projection?”

“Take over? That’s a serious misunderstanding.”

Möbius said with a sneer.

“I didn’t take it over; I merely received it temporarily within the records undergoing Alteration.”

“So Mirinae will return once the Historical Alteration ends?”

“She never disappeared in the first place. Didn’t I just say? This body is currently both Möbius and Mirinae. It’s just that it’s a situation where I need to exert effort, so the personality as Möbius is more prominent.”

Having said that, Möbius reached out and touched Hyu’s forehead.

Tap.

The moment his fingertip touched, the [Pure Chaos] Authority was applied to Hyu.

Blink.

When he closed and opened his eyes in that state, Lee Hanseong was back in reality.

However, since the Historical Alteration had not yet ended, it was still a reality where time was frozen.

* * *

‘So this is the Pure Chaos Authority.’

Having experienced it firsthand, Lee Hanseong could understand what kind of ability the Pure Chaos Authority was.

If the Primordial Chaos Authority was the ability to create connections and weave all phenomena.

The Pure Chaos Authority was the maintenance of purity that does not mix with anything.

An Authority that allows one to exert their full power without any restrictions, even if they fall into another world or another spacetime with different Laws.

‘So this is why Apostles from parallel worlds could maintain their Apostle Grade even when crossing to other worlds.’

Thanks to this, Hyu could now influence even Lee Hanseong’s physical body left in the future reality, which was merely a record of the past.

As a result, he could now intervene in reality even while the Historical Alteration was in progress.

Since time was frozen in reality, the only thing he could intervene with was Lee Hanseong’s physical body.

‘Actually, that’s better.’

When the Historical Alteration was activated, in reality, he was fighting the 10-Star Unchain’s Four Heavenly Kings.

Unlike the previous Historical Alteration, there was no time to extend the moment when time freeze was released after the Historical Alteration ended using consciousness acceleration to check the changes.

Against a 10-Star level opponent, even if he accelerated his consciousness immediately after time freeze was released, he could respond right away.

‘In fact, even Synchronizing the achievements gained from the Historical Alteration to the physical body is cutting it close.’

When he activated the Historical Alteration, he was in a hurry and just activated it, but if the situation went badly, it was a fight where he could be defeated even before the results of the Historical Alteration were settled.

But if he could use this frozen time, the story changes.

Hum.

First, he Synchronized the changes of the Spirits who had just finished their Historical Alteration to his physical body in reality.

The new Skills, Awakening Skills, Polarity Reversal, and Spirit Treasures gained by the Spirits were added to Lee Hanseong’s body.

As Hans’s Treasure Vessel, Heavenly Slaughter Sword, and Hyu’s Treasure Vessel, External Incarnation, raised the level of his Treasure Body.

Flash!

Blundell’s <Path Exploration> shone.

Countless combinations through which the Rare grade Skills Lee Hanseong possessed could be integrated unfolded in his mind, drawing innumerable branches.

‘Is this a sign to integrate even the Rare Skills this time?’

As Mirinae’s Grade, having gained her second name, grew faster than expected, he needed to increase the stability of the physical body, the Vessel, to maintain the Constellation Descent state.

Although the Starlight of Mirinae dwelling in his physical body in reality didn’t differ much from before her Grade increased since the Historical Alteration was still in progress, once it ended, the Starlight would amplify proportionally to the increased Grade.

The calculation showed he needed to at least integrate all Rare Skills into Unique Skills to withstand it.

‘Ah…! So this is why Mirinae handed over the initiative to Möbius during the Historical Alteration.’

Feeling renewed gratitude for Mirinae’s consideration, he examined the combination formulas shown by Path Exploration.

Although Path Exploration was Rare grade and only revealed Rare Skill combination formulas for now, it was fine to integrate only Rare Skills immediately.

And since Path Exploration’s combination formula was also among them, he would soon be able to obtain Unique Skill combination formulas as well.

Hum.

[Conditions met. <Path Exploration> and <Ideal Type View> are integrated.]

[Unique Skill <Skill Tree View> is formed.]

Thus, a tree-like structural diagram expanded to include Unique Skill combination formulas unfolded in his mind.

However, integrating the remaining Rare Skills was the priority, so he began integrating them with Primordial Chaos Gang Qi.

‘First, integrating same-type Skills.’

Due to the exchange circuit, cases where different Spirits had the same Skill had increased.

So, excluding cases where branches diverged, he merged the remaining same-type Skills.

Hum.

[<Artisan>+<Artisan>=<Genius>]

[<Hunting Studies>+<Hunting Studies>=<Master Hunter>]

[<Spell Script>+<Spell Script>=<Mantra>]

Non and Rough’s Artisan, Non and Utangka’s Hunting Studies, and Utangka and Rian’s Spell Script were such cases.

Next, he integrated academic-type Skills.

Hum.

[<Genetics>+<Monsterology>=<Evolution Theory>]

[<Mysticism>+<Sorcery Studies>=<Magic Theory>]

The two academic Skills possessed by Henrietta were completed as wisdom containing the principles of evolution, bringing forth the possibility she would reach in the future.

The Mysticism and Sorcery Studies possessed by Rian also evolved into wisdom containing the principles of magic, a possibility he would later reach.

However, the remaining academic Skills did not integrate with other academic Skills but merged with Skills from other categories.

According to the Skill Tree, that direction was more efficient.

Hum.

[<Records Studies>+<Truth Compulsion>=<Truth View>]

[<Jurisprudence>+<Word Spirit Art>=<Decree Proclamation>]

[<Toxicology>+<Divine art>=<Impervious to All Poisons>]

[<Ritual Studies>+<Borrowed Power>=<Divine Descent Dance>]

Alter’s Records Studies integrated with his other Skill, Truth Compulsion, becoming a Skill to read unrecorded truths through records.

Hanna’s Jurisprudence met Rian’s Word Spirit Art, becoming a Skill to add new rules within a Domain, similar to the Wheel’s Law.

Blundell’s Toxicology combined with Hanna’s Divine art, becoming a Skill to prevent toxic substances from accumulating beyond lethal doses based on Divine power.

The previously obtained Ritual Studies integrated with Hanna’s Borrowed Power, advancing into a shaman’s dance to summon a god.

‘That takes care of the academic Skills.’

Next, he integrated Skills that could be combined with other Skills possessed by the same Spirit, like Evolution Theory or Magic Theory.

Hum.

[<Memory Art>+<Empathy>=<Echo>]

[<Fire Resistance>+<Lightning Resistance>=<Thunderfire Unyielding>]

[<Divination>+<Dual Identity>=<Two Fates>]

[<Command>+<Aerial View>=<Battlefield Control>]

The possibility of Rian’s Unique Skill, where magical power itself, created based on Magic Theory, remembers spells and multiplies them like an Echo.

The possibility of Utangka integrating fire and lightning attribute Resistances, which he would eventually reach as he accumulated Resistances through Spirit Fusion Divine Body.

The possibility of Rough melting Divination and Dual Identity to create choices for two different fates.

The possibility of Pheidippides combining Aerial View and Command when achieving Synthesis of Opposites, etc., were completed first in Lee Hanseong’s body by reversing causality.

‘The rest… It’s more efficient to combine Skills from different Spirits.’

After that, considering the Unique grade combination formulas shown by the Skill Tree, he continued integrating the remaining Rare Skills.

Hum.

[<Formation>+<Granting Magic: Enchant>=<Magic Circle>]

A Magic Circle created from a combination formula derived from Magic Theory.

Hum.

[<Stamina Major Enhancement>+<Mutation>=<Life Enhancement>]

[<Herb Cultivation>+<Crossbreeding>=<Selective Breeding>]

Life Enhancement and Selective Breeding created from combination formulas derived from Evolution Theory.

Hum.

[<Black shadow envoy>+<Monster Summoning>=<Black Shadow Demon Beast>]

[<Strong Fortune>+<Symbiosis>=<Shared Destiny>]

[<Healing Sacred Art>+<Sleeve Insert>=<Wound Transfer>]

A Black Shadow Demon Beast that weaves the form of a monster with a Black shadow envoy, and a Shared Destiny that shares each other’s fates.

Wound Transfer that brings an opponent’s wounds to oneself or transfers one’s own wounds to the opponent.

Hum.

[<Interrogation>+<Domineering Aura>=<Confession Inducement>]

[<Persuasive Speech>+<Sophistry>=<Serpent’s Tongue>]

Confession Inducement that pressures the opponent to extract desired information, and Serpent’s Tongue that toys with the opponent through words to create the desired outcome.

The integration of all Rare Skills was complete.

‘Ahh…!’

Similar to when he integrated all normal Skills, the Starlight Circuits within his body were refreshingly organized.

Now, the Skills Lee Hanseong possessed were at least Unique grade.

And there were also many combination formulas in the Skill Tree to integrate those Unique Skills into Legendary Skills.

‘But since there will still be opportunities to gain new Unique Skills as the Spirits get Promoted, there’s no need to integrate them yet.’

Rather than proceeding with Unique Skill integration before even getting familiar with the new Skills, it wasn’t too late to integrate them when needed after understanding the Skills.

Thus, he stopped intervening in reality there and returned his consciousness to Hyu’s records.

Blink.

“Back, are you? Well then, see you next time.”

Back in Hyu’s Reverse World, Möbius was bidding farewell with a shameless face.

“What…?”

Before he could feel puzzled, the message that appeared before his eyes made him realize why he had said goodbye.

Intervening in reality from within the records was an achievement no different from interfering with the outer universe beyond the framework of the world.

[Feat, ‘World Beyond Imagination’ has been achieved.]

[The Lunar Constellation records Hyoo Guild’s Feat and Altered history.]

[6th Awakening Skill 《Enigma》 has Bloomed.]

…….

It was only natural that Hyu’s 6-Star Promotion was completed.

Thus, the fifth Historical Alteration ended.
