The fountain of the Milky Way, where beautiful starlight is twinkling as if it were cut out of the night sky.
Grumble, rumble!
Black clouds covered the spring water and covered the night sky.
Fluctuating dark clouds.
Through the Black Heaven, the enormous magical power of the stigmata that had filled the spring began to flow into Ojin’s body.
“Ugh!”
A magic circuit that inflates like a balloon blown to its limit.
Sam’s magical power, which had been condensed for an immeasurable amount of time, far exceeded Ojin’s imagination.
‘There are too many...!’
It was difficult to maintain my sanity due to the torrent of magical energy rushing through my entire body.
Oh Jin chewed his lips and desperately held on to the strings of reason amidst the magic of stigmata that surged like a tsunami.
Gurgling! Kuruk!
Whether he was aware of the state of Ojin or not, the Black Heaven nestled in his heart voraciously ate Polaris’ magic as if it were some kind of high-end buffet.
[I am my child!]
“Don’t come!”
He urgently shouted at Vega, who was approaching with a worried expression.
‘When it comes, even Vega will be swept away.’
Heukcheon, which found the ultimate prey, escaped Ojin’s control and began to run wild.
Black storm clouds spread out around the area in the shape of a huge dome, absorbing the stigmata’s magical power.
The spring water that sparkled with beautiful starlight was covered in murky darkness, as if black ink had been spilled.
It looks like the entire surrounding space has been swallowed up by black clouds.
It was a sight as if the unconscious world that had encountered the Heavenly Demon had been realized in reality.
‘This...’
The world of unconsciousness is realized in reality.
A scene where fragments of thought, which are mere images, distort the laws of physics and manipulate reality.
It was an unknown force that was impossible to understand with the mind even if one could see it with the eyes.
Ojin could easily understand the scene unfolding before his eyes.
‘Sanctuary deployment.’
That’s right too.
Because what he has been concentrating on most recently is the power that is unfolding right in front of his eyes.
‘Heukcheon is changing the surrounding environment and making it its own territory.’
Before we knew it, the brilliantly shining fountain of the Milky Way had disappeared without a trace, and only gloomy dark clouds filled the surroundings.
okay.
As if I had entered a black sky without a single light.
“Ah uh.”
Heukcheon, who colored the surroundings with his own world, slowly closed his eyes and rushed towards Polaris, who was waiting for the end of his long life.
‘stop.’
I knew it instinctively.
If Black Heaven, which is now out of his control, absorbs the stigmata of Ursa Minor, it will never come under his control again.
Gurgling! Kuruk!
Heukcheon stops in front of Polaris and struggles like a wild beast tied to a leash.
Oh Jin let out a heavy breath while barely maintaining control of Heukcheon, which he was barely holding on to.
“Stop, you bastard...!”
Rumbling!
As if it didn’t like being held by a leash, the black cloud that was trying to devour Polaris changed its target and rushed towards Ojin.
“Ugh! “Wow!”
Pain as if my whole body was being bitten by sharp teeth.
Along with the feeling of my mind becoming blurred, my body swayed like an ear of rice blowing in the autumn wind.
“Huh! “Huh!”
I desperately tried to hold on to my spirit amidst the black clouds that violently attacked my body.
The feeling of standing alone in a huge rapid.
The harsh clouds of the black sky grabbed his body and shook it as if mocking him.
‘it hurts.’
It was a terrible pain, as if sharp hooks were moving around inside my blood vessels.
The dark clouds covering the sky split in half and poured down.
He took a step forward, trampling on the flat black clouds as if he were bowing his head.
[Hehe... As expected.]
Polaris, who had been waiting for death with her eyes closed, was suddenly seen looking at her with her eyes sparkling.
She... or rather, he put his hands together as if praying and had a bright smile on his face.
[Star of the inverted sky... I hope this miserable starlight can brighten your path just a little bit.]
With those last words, Polaris threw herself towards the clouds of the dark sky spread widely on the floor.
Polaris’ body disappeared beyond the black sky clouds.
and.
-Tiring!
Grumble!
The cloud of black heaven spread out on the floor stirred and was sucked into Ojin’s body.
“Ugh...!”
Ojin desperately maintained his sanity amidst the intensifying torrent of the black sky again.
The endless black clouds came to a halt as if caught in a bump.
Another message came to mind, saying that the power of the Black Sky was limited.
The message that followed was that the stigmata of Lyra had become 11 stars.
Ojin frowned, remembering the message that came to mind earlier.
‘Even though Lyra Stigmata has reached 11 stars, does this mean that the power of Black Heaven is limited?’
Simply looking at the numbers, this was the twelfth flowering of Black Heaven, so it may be difficult to control it with the power of Lyra Stigmata, which is still only at 11 stars.
‘I’ve controlled it well so far.’
Even when Black Heaven bloomed for the 11th time, the stigmata of Leech was one level lower, at 10, but the message that its power was partially limited did not come to mind.
‘Does that mean the power gained through the twelfth flowering is enormous?’
Just as the power of stigmata changes greatly when it rises from 8 to 9 stars, Black Heaven may also have gained more power than before.
‘And because of that power, it went wild beyond my control earlier.’
If you think about it that way, it makes sense.
[I am my child! Are you okay?!]
When Polaris’ absorption was finished, Vega flew to Ojin with an urgent expression.
She looked at Ojin with worried eyes and continued speaking.
[In her eyes, it looked as if the energy of the Black Sky was devouring you.]
“That’s true to a certain extent.”
It was true that the sudden increase in the power of the Black Heaven almost caused his entire consciousness to be instantly eaten away.
[Like that!]
“But it’s okay now. “For now, we succeeded in calming down Heukcheon.”
In fact, rather than calming him down, it was more like suppressing him and making him quiet.
In any case, he was able to avoid the worst case scenario of having his consciousness eaten away by Black Heaven.
‘I don’t know how long I can hold out.’
Because he somehow calmed down the rampaging Black Heaven, he ended up with a ‘partial limitation of his power’. If he had failed to control it, he would have been swallowed up by the Black Heaven.
‘The leash needs to be tied tighter.’
It was necessary to increase the power of Lyra’s stigmata in order to remove partial power restrictions and fully deal with the Black Sky.
And the way to increase the power of Lyra’s stigmata right now is...
“Vega, it’s not something I should say in this situation, but... I have a favor to ask you to listen to.”
[I will listen to any request you make, so feel free to tell me!]
Vega pounded her chest as if telling her to trust only herself.
“Then...”
The burning gaze was directed at Vega.
[Hmm?]
Vega’s shoulders trembled.
[Why are you looking at the real woman with those eyes?]
Vega unknowingly backed away from Ojin with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
[You have successfully absorbed the constellation of Ursa Minor!]
[The new attribute ‘Future Vision’ has been acquired!]
[The conditions for the twelfth flowering of the Black Sky have been achieved!]
[Warning.]
[Completely control the Black Heaven. The power of the Stigmata of Lyra necessary to do so is insufficient.]
[The power of the Black Sky is partially limited.]
[Due to the enormous magical power of the Stigmata, the Stigmata of Lyra is upgraded to 11 stars!]
