Ch.76Ep.76 Two Fragments

“Nyarla! Idra! I’ll leave the field command to you two!”

“What? Don’t talk nonsense when you know exactly what will happen if you suddenly leave!”

“Radios Magnum has invaded the boundary where only one exists in past, present, and future!”

Idra swallowed his words at Yog-Sothoth’s urgent message.

Radios had invaded his domain, and if he detected it, it must surely be related to the Fragment.

Of course, defeating Atlas and Tartarus was important, but the Fragment matter was more crucial.

Without the Fragment, the power of the Outer Gods would eventually collapse.

“Damn it! The Fragment comes first, so leave this to us!”

Nyarlathotep painfully deflected Atlas’s fist, creating a path for Yog-Sothoth.

As soon as the opportunity arose, he entered his domain and located Radios.

“How dare you! A mere mortal without even an Order dares to mock me like this!”

Whoosh!

As Yog-Sothoth began to emit his Divine Order with a burst of light.

Radios started running toward the gate like a madman about to die.

If caught, he would die. If caught, it would all be for nothing.

‘Damn bastard! Coming back so quickly doesn’t even give me enough time to escape!’

As the Blind Idiot God had said, Radios grabbed the Fragment and fled at full speed.

The problem was that Yog-Sothoth, who should have been busy bringing down Olympus, immediately jumped in and emitted his Divine Order.

Radios, who didn’t even possess an Order, hesitated momentarily but did his best to approach the gate.

He wished Yog-Sothoth would chase after Veichel who was also in this space, but that didn’t happen.

“Radios Magnuuuum!”

“Shit!”

BOOM!

As Yog-Sothoth swung his hand, invisible energy poured in from all directions around Radios.

He urgently stopped and wrapped his entire body with magical power.

It didn’t stop there. He used Kynee to hide himself and moved quietly, suppressing even his breathing.

“I told you there’s no escape!”

Just like when Veichel had fought him, dense lasers detected Radios’s form.

But he couldn’t use the Sword of Judgment.

The Sword of Judgment had the ability to summon territory from another dimension, the Underworld, into this boundary.

But since the Underworld was under attack, summoning would only bring Yog-Sothoth’s allies.

No, he probably couldn’t even summon anything in Yog-Sothoth’s domain to begin with.

In the current situation, confronting Yog-Sothoth head-on would be suicidal.

But having his path blocked like this was absurd.

‘Damn… Azathoth! What am I supposed to do now?! The path to the gate is blocked!’

Honestly, if he’d had just 5 more seconds, he could have easily made it out.

If he had pulled the Fragment with magic from a distance and left… he would have been caught anyway.

“Radios Magnum… if you attempt to burglarize like this, Kadinant won’t be safe, you know?”

“Bullshit. Right now, two beings with Divine Order are holding Kadinant. Even you would be in danger.”

“Haha, if I use the power of the Fragment, that would be as easy as eating cold porridge.”

“Hmm? Aren’t you struggling because of Atlas and Tartarus?”

“..! How do you know that?”

Yog-Sothoth was shocked to see Radios knowing about the situation in the Underworld.

As far as he knew, Radios had no connection to the Underworld except for the Sword of Judgment ability.

Of course, now that his relationship with Hades had fallen apart, he couldn’t get meaningful information through the Sword of Judgment.

But he never expected the enemy to know about the Underworld situation like this.

‘In the current situation, we have the advantage. Olympus is… losing to Kadinant.’

However, if the Fragment with infinite power went to Radios, to Kadinant.

The power of the Outer Gods and Kadinant could become almost equal.

Cronos who controls the Divine Order of time and Poseidon who controls the Divine Order of waterways.

If Nyarlathotep and Idra each take care of them.

Yog-Sothoth would have to handle Radios who uses replication and infinite power.

‘Even crushing him with Divine Order would be impossible. And if he uses Outer Devouring too.’

Things could get bigger than expected.

Outer Devouring was the ability that the forces of Outer Gods, including Yog-Sothoth, had to be most wary of.

But for some reason, Radios wasn’t using Outer Devouring.

Surely if he had collected two Fragments and become the apostle of the Blind Idiot God, he should be able to use it.

‘Could it be that he still can’t use Outer Devouring?’

It’s a situation that’s entirely possible.

Because Radios is a human who doesn’t even have an Order that anyone could possess.

Ah, since humans don’t fall into the category of just anyone, maybe they can’t have an Order.

Come to think of it, the reason why only Radios invaded the boundary seems to be because he doesn’t have an Order.

In this space, no one except those permitted by Yog-Sothoth can manifest their Order.

Divine Order was possible, which is why Poseidon escaped, but he didn’t expect Poseidon’s defection to Kadinant would become this troublesome.

Anyway, back to the point.

“Don’t tell me you can’t use Outer Devouring?”

“Why would you think that?”

“If you could use it, you would have already used it to devour my power.”

“Well, that’s certainly true.”

Yog-Sothoth twitched his eyebrow at Radios’s calm response.

Is this a trick? Could it be that he can actually use it and is just testing the waters?

Numerous assumptions flashed through Yog-Sothoth’s mind in a short time.

If he charged in now and Outer Devouring came out, Yog-Sothoth would be in trouble.

If he got devoured when they were so close to their goal, not only would it ruin their grand plan.

The Blind Idiot God could fully resurrect with the remaining Fragments.

To attack or not to attack. In this high-risk, high-return situation, Yog-Sothoth continued his standoff with Radios.

Meanwhile, Radios maintained a calm face despite cold sweat running down his spine.

The reason was:

[Ability: Outer Devouring is undergoing a transformation.]

[Ability: Outer Devouring is beginning to be engraved on the soul of the apostle, Radios Magnum.]

[Time remaining: 3 minutes 24 seconds.]

His hidden card and the only means to escape from Yog-Sothoth, Outer Devouring.

To use it, he had to endure for the long time of 3 minutes.

But the fortunate thing was Yog-Sothoth’s reaction.

‘Even if I don’t know exactly what ability Outer Devouring is…’

Yog-Sothoth was being cautious in front of someone he could crush immediately.

With just the ability of Outer Devouring, he had completely blocked a god’s movement.

‘The problem is that the moment this bluff is exposed, I’m a dead man.’

He couldn’t carelessly run his mouth here.

If he made Yog-Sothoth realize he was stalling for time, it would be all over.

Perhaps that thought was the problem.

Yog-Sothoth gave an ominous smile and opened his mouth as if finding it ridiculous.

“You, you still can’t properly use Outer Devouring, can you?”

“That’s not possible.”

Boom.

Radios emitted magical power to mimic Outer Devouring as best he could.

Since his body had already used Outer Devouring several times.

He succeeded in showing a degraded version, but this turned out to be poison.

Yog-Sothoth was convinced that Radios couldn’t handle Outer Devouring.

“Hahahahaha! A mere human couldn’t possibly handle such a high-concentration ability!”

“…Damn it.”

“Die!!”

Swoosh!

Radios felt the energy surging from Yog-Sothoth’s hand and closed his eyes.

That energy was rushing toward his neck, but since Radios had activated the goblin mask.

Clang!

“You… deflected my attack?”

“It’s true that I can’t properly use Outer Devouring yet, as you said.”

Yog-Sothoth doesn’t know that goblins don’t die except by having their hearts burst.

He just thinks goblins have regenerative abilities that are beyond normal.

This was due to a lack of information transfer that occurred when Namgung Ihyun was Yog-Sothoth’s apostle and tried to handle things alone.

Thanks to this, Radios could smile.

Goblins have necks, but those necks are parts that cannot be cut by any means.

It was natural for Yog-Sothoth to be surprised.

“I don’t die. I’ve temporarily transformed into a goblin’s body.”

“Kuk, I see. So you’re stalling for time to use Outer Devouring.”

Yog-Sothoth’s shoulders kept twitching.

It meant he was that angry.

“I know goblins aren’t invincible! I’ll kill you here!!”

“Kuuuk!”

As Yog-Sothoth deliberately spread his Divine Order, Radios felt pressure as if his entire body would be crushed.

Blood vessels kept breaking, bones cracked and healed repeatedly with crackling sounds.

The pain dominated his brain to an indescribable degree.

But Radios could endure because he had felt even worse pain before.

[Time remaining: 0 minutes 21 seconds.]

‘Just a little longer…!’

Then he could use Outer Devouring.

“Godslaying Light… Sword!”

“?!”

Boom!

Trying to turn the tables using the remaining magic in his body, but of course it failed.

After his fatal strike cut through empty air, Radios muttered with a dejected face.

“Shit… it’s taking too long.”

[I apologize.]

As a familiar voice was heard, the gravity field pressing down on his body gradually disappeared.

His body recovered thanks to the power of the goblin mask.

With his lips curled up to his ears, he stood up.

Yog-Sothoth looked at Radios with astonishment and gritted his teeth.

“Azathoooooth!!”

[The scream of one who usurped my throne, what a beautiful sound.]

The Blind Idiot God.

No, now he should rightfully be called Azathoth.

The creator of the Outer God forces finally regained 30% of his power and cheered.

[I bestow a blessing upon my apostle.]

Ding.

With Azathoth’s words, a message appeared on the status window.

Radios gaped at it.

And for good reason.

[You have mastered the ability: Outer Devouring!]

[The Blind Idiot God bestows an intelligent gift!]

[Shedding begins!]

[Win a battle against a being with Divine Order!]

[Upon victory, you will awaken your Order!]

Because an impossible situation had occurred.
