Chapter 488: Outer Celestial, Ubbo-Sathla (8)

Ubbo-Sathlas emotionless eyes gleamed. Youre surely persistent.

Ubbo-Sathla loathed Chang-Sun just as much as he did her, although her hatred was more toward all Chang-Suns. Whenever she felt as if she had taken care of everything, they would drag her back into Worldlines and involve her in all sorts of incidents. It was only natural for her to despise them.

The Chang-Sun of Worldline #801 was the most troubling of them all. Where his other versions would have given up already, he burned with fury instead, hunting her down all the way here.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

The Chang-Sun in front of her was the reason why she made this risky gamble in the first place. On top of already being on edge because of her seemingly eternal , he made her feel as if she would be stuck in this Rollback loop forever, forcing her hand.

I cant meaninglessly endure this life anymore. Im neither alive nor dead, so lets find who keeps rewinding this Wheel and ask

The outcome of her gamble couldnt be any worse. She had lost all her powers and Authorities and was now shackled with Divine Steel chains, leaving her in a situation as frustrating as a Rollback loop. Perhaps this was better than meaninglessly repeating her everyday life, but she still hadnt made her peace with Chang-Sun, the cause of everything.

Killing you is the only way to end this tiring Rollback loop, Chang-Sun answered.

Rollback? Ubbo-Sathla smiled coldly. Ah, you must be talking about the Wheel.

Knowing that venting her anger wouldnt make any difference, she just looked back and forth between her feet and Chang-Sun. As long as they were trapped in this huge trap made by , they couldnt kill each other nor escape this prison; there was nothing they could do.

Its the opposite for me. I should kill you and all of your other versions, you sickeningly tiring leeches, Ubbo-Sathla said, her anger slowly making her raise her voice.

Dont you have to destroy all Worldlines to do that?

Having a hard time holding back her rage, she shouted, Thats what infuriates me! You people are cockroaches! I kill you over and over, yet you still keep crawling out of nowhere to torment me!

Then stop destroying Worldlines.

Do you really think its that easy?! That is a from , duty granted by , job given by !

What in the world is this of yours? Killing me? Chang-Sun asked.

Executioner!

Executioner?

Yes. It is my and duty to take care of Worldlines that could be ruined. Its their nonsense of how I should end the worlds I started! Ubbo-Sathla shouted.

Her words finally made Chang-Sun realize the pain that Ubbo-Sathla had been going through.

Original Sin.

Multiverses, parallel universes, the superstring theory all these ideas were derived from the endless creation of Worldlines. Since this process wasted a lot of energy and there was a limit to Entropies, it could eventually threaten the stability of the Great Universe if left unsupervised.

To prevent that, Worldlines that had outlived their lifespan or were irreversibly ruined had to be picked out and erased. That was where Ubbo-Sathla came in. She brought to those Worldlines in a way far cleaner than normal.

However, their inhabitants naturally couldnt accept such a sentence. killed everyone in a Worldline, erased their accomplishments, and ended their bloodlines. Hence, they resisted and attempted to nullify it. Chang-Sun was the outcome of that resistance.

At the end of my ... I meet Ubbo-Sathla while shes searching for the Mother Terra Celestials remains. During our encounter, the Worldlines future is decided. Is that whats happening here?

set the stage so he could mediate the process. This was likely the reason Perkwunos told him that they had to defeat .

What would happen after I kill Ubbo-Sathla? Will that end ? Chang-Sun wondered.

Unfortunately, he had no way of knowing. No one had gotten that far.

I coincidentally ran into some time ago. I asked when in the world this will end. Ubbo-Sathla seemed willing to tell Chang-Sun everything she knew now that things had turned out this way. They would have had this conversation sooner or later anyway. He told me that itll end when I consider it as an . Its bullshit!

The word rang in Chang-Suns ears. I have to rise above this ? What happens afterward? What in the world is going on right now?

Chang-Sun slightly frowned. Why did you come here instead of going after the Mother Terra Celestials remains? I thought that was your goal.

Im going to kill you, but an Outer Celestial cant be killed completely.

Ubbo-Sathla smirked. I see. You want me to join you.

Celestial Cannibalism. Chang-Sun would swallow Ubbo-Sathla just like what he had done with the Incendiary Burial Whale.

Ubbo-Sathla scoffed. Ha! You sure know how to sugarcoat your desire for pow!

You arent wrong, but thats not the only thing Im trying to do here. Ill be looking for . I also have many questions for him. When I find him, Ill give you a chance to ask him your questions yourself.

Ubbo-Sathla pursed her lips. Chang-Sun had no reason to make her such an offer. After all, he could simply kill her to absorb her power.

You hate me, dont you? Why are you doing this for me? she asked.

I used to be just like you. I envied everyone else around me because they all seemed happy. I was the only one who didnt.

Ubbo-Sathlas lips trembled.

Chang-Sun continued, Youre going through the same thing, arent you? Youre suffering and yet you have to be hated. For every you deliver, you drown in a flood of condemnation and resentment. At the same time, you envy their happiness.

Ubbo-Sathla called beings of Eros vermin, but her condescension was part of her self-justification to spare her heart even more wounds.

That is my reason. If you dont like how Im phrasing it well, lets just say Im doing this on a whim, just like how you told me your story.

After a brief silence, Ubbo-Sathla burst into feeble laughter. Ha Hahahaha

She covered her face with her hands, but it wasnt enough to stop the tears from falling on the floor. This is annoying. I cant believe the person Ive grown so tired of is also the one who would end up understanding me and actually treating me with consideration.

Chang-Sun opened the prison cell door using his golden key.

Clink!

Wh-what? Why did her door suddenly open?

You have the key?

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Me too! Get me out of here too! Please!

The nearby prisoners caused an even bigger commotion than the ones earlier. Paying no attention to them, Chang-Sun walked into the solitary cell. Tied to the wall, Ubbo-Sathla looked up at Chang-Sun, revealing her teary eyes.

Can you even kill me? she asked.

Chang-Sun nodded and pulled out the Nereid Stone, which Bel-Marduk had tossed to him when he jumped into the gate of Rlyeh. It would be difficult to annihilate an Outer Celestial without it.

Staaaab!

Chang-Sun thrust the sharpened Nereid Stone into Ubbo-Sathlas chest, which was where her main core was.

Kieeeeeeh!

[Gaias Curse has been activated, disintegrating the of an unknown being!]

Ominous ghost wails filled the cell.

Pzzz!

Ooong, ooooong!

Ubbo-Sathla disintegrated into particles, leaving behind a brilliant golden jewelthe mass of all the that she had swallowed.
