Chapter 139 Transcending Time (3)

The tower occupied a sht After landing on the top floor, Evelyn opened the roof door and descended the seely endless spiral staircase until they reached somewhere near the floor in the middle After a bemused moment, she suddenly nodded to herself

“I see,” sheher pal why I didn’t see the core of the su reaction… The as ic stones”

Chi-Woo recalled that Eshnunna had said so similar

“Does that mean this whole toas used as a catalyst?”

“So like that, but ultimately different” Evelyn looked back to Chi-Woo and knocked on the tower’s ith a fist

“This tower itself is acting as the core”

“?”

“And the buildings within its range are probably its catalyst”

Chi-Woo gaped slightly In other words, the entire acadeic stones—was basically the su circle

“…That’s massive,” Chi-Woo muttered

“So what?” Evelyn said indifferently She seeely confident in this field

“Could you return things to nor to?” Evelyn snorted, seeaze

Evelyn’s logic was simple The center of the acadeic; to turn things back to norht to bear said ic That was the safest and thethey had to worry about nohether anyone had the ability to perform an event of such a scale A e, and that was exactly what had brought upon this catastrophe However, Onorables Evelyn wasn’t human She was a witch who had died and surpassed human existence

“It ht as she looked up at the ceiling “I wonder hoill co inside radually becaed above her head like before The seeht intensified in brilliance until it scattered And then, Chi-Woo clearly heard a strange vibration near his ears

Sieometric patterns flowed across and filled the empty wall They flowed just like water, and also like salainst the currents, they went up fro, everything was getting sucked in The process wasn’t loud at all, but one would be hard-pressed to describe it as silent

Chi-Woo felt like he was standing inside a place filled to the bri didn’t last long, and the speed at which the shapes and sy so fast that he could no longer see their patterns It was like he was inside a theater, standing in front of a giant screen as a hubbub of quiet noises whizzed around him Then, as if someone had lifted the curtains on both sides of the theater, light poured into his vision and overwhel

“…” Chi-Woo opened the eyes he had closed at sohtness, and saw the saes The only difference was the lighting Originally the place had been illuht district, but they were now replaced by fah the tower’sHe could see the capital from there The colors outside were the sae popped up

[Restoring an abandoned part of the World]

[Absorbing restored part of the World]

[User Choi Chi-Woo’s innate ability, [Blessed Luck] is partially restored]

Chi-Woo’s mouth opened wide in shock His two abilities, Blessed Luck and Deus ex Machina, were linked, and only by spending his Blessed Luck could he activate the latter Thus, knowing he couldn’t use these abilities li to save his Blessed Luck, and yet it had already dropped to 60—which was only a bit inal a his Blessed Luck by a great amount

Even Chi-Woo hadn’t predicted this reward After all, ould expect a piece of Liber which had separated from the rest of the world to have stayed intact for centuries? Chi-Woo stared at the witch blankly As the burning light dissipated, Evelyn’s flying hair settled down, and she opened her eyes again

“It’s over,” Evelyn said in a low voice while twirling her hair “I’ve returned everything back to its rightful place”

“…”

“They should’ve driven the parts of the other world out rather than trying to get their world back,” Evelyn said What she said was too difficult for Chi-Woo to understand, but he understood one thing Thanks to the witch, he had received a reward that would have nor

“How is it?” Evelyn asked, pretending to be carefree

“…You are so cool Really aenuine admiration After all, Evelyn had restored the lost part of the world as easily as taking so out of her pockets

“Ah, please,” Evelyn turned around and waved, “I haven’t done anything praiseworthy It’s nothing, really” But even as Evelyn said this, her head was tipped to the ceiling with her nose high up in the air

Chi-Woo thought Evelyn was acting a bit differently today She wasn’t usually like this, but for soreat she was It was like so to make up for it now

“But it is a bit wasteful,” Evelyn said while stroking the wall “There are ic stones”

“Are we unable to use the and a reverse of it It probably would have broken if I hadn’th a bit ular rocks” However, Chi-Woo didn’t really feel sorry for the loss since he had gotten soic stones

“Thank you so much,” Chi-Woo said with his head deeply bowed “I will pay you back for the favor I received today”

“Yeah” Evelyn appeared very satisfied, as if she was thinking this was how things should be “This is a very trivial matter for me…but I look forward to your pay froht”

Then, Evelyn looked up and said, “Okay, let’s go up to the rooftop again”

“Sorry?”

“We have to check who sent the signal”

‘The Survivor’ The words passed through Chi-Woo’s head

Whileher way up, Evelyn said, “The survivor is probably either of the two: the one who caused all this, or one very lucky person” Evelyn shrugged as she continued, “Well, it’d be the most hilarious irony if it’s the former”

When the two arrived at the rooftop, there was no one there However, so was different The rooftop was divided into several parts, and a corner of the rooftop was crushed While the other parts appeared normal, the crushed corner looked to him like a broken mirror

“Look closely”

Evelyn picked up a rolling debris and flung it toward the broken area Chi-Woo’s eyes widened As soon as the debris touched the crack, it disappeared without a trace

“A space inside a space It’s an interesting idea” Evelyn hu how hastily it must have been created I almost fell for it too”

Chi-Woo looked to Evelyn for an explanation, and she obliged by pointing at the crushed corner and saying, “Whoever it was created a standalone space To put it si at the intersection of the torlds and created a subspace Now that one of the torlds has disappeared, there is no intersection, and the subspace is left like this” She reached out with both hands “Who made this? I’m sure there weren’t many professors, much less students, ould kno to deal with space like this”

Evelyn curiously spread out her hands and ift wrap As she did that, the space actually peeled off—there was no other way to describe the mysterious spectacle
