Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

141. Outer space

#141. Outer space

There are two main ways to get to outer space.

Either beyond the boundaries of space, or entering through some special means.

Irina planned to open the door using the ‘key’ given to her by a foreign agent, which was the latter method.

More precisely, it was through her power of illusion that she was able to access the door with the key and go into outer space.

The important thing was that her key had a limited number of uses and that opportunity would run out after this one.

That means, if you return to the sanctuary without any gains from outer space this time, you will never have another chance to communicate with the outside world.

“Remember, you only get one chance.”

The moment they opened their eyes again, Irina and Cynthia were approaching the entrance to outer space.

“Here… .”

“Memorize this front. If you open the door with this key, you can come right in.”

Cynthia seemed very nervous about Irina’s explanation.

“Once you open the door, there’s no turning back.”

“…yes.”

“Then go in. Surround yourself with divine power. I will share my protection with you… but that won’t be enough.”

The outer space is a space of nothingness.

It is a dangerous place where even transcendent beings with great divine powers can face annihilation in an instant, and you must never let your guard down.

“When you enter outer space, don’t forget to make a wish.”

“To foreign media… you mean?”

“Yes. The name has not been granted to you yet, but when your wish reaches him, you will know what name he has.”

After Irina finished explaining, she grabbed the doorknob and inserted the key.

Paaa-

A brilliant golden light radiated out, dyeing all directions in gold.

And then, the door opened.

[ You can’t let go of my hand from now on. ]

[ yes. ]

Irina conveyed her will to Cynthia through divine words and went through the door. Cynthia followed her and immediately entered a world filled with pitch darkness.

‘This is the outer space… .’

Cynthia, who had never been to space before, felt that the universe she had imagined was unfolding before her eyes. Pitch-black darkness. And a strong cold that pierced through divine power.

The cold of outer space is not simply a physical freezing of the body, but a cold of nothingness that freezes and destroys the soul itself.

‘My wish… Please give me… the strength to return safely to Earth… .’

Cynthia poured out her deepest desires.

It was a small but difficult to achieve desire.

A dream that was once nothing, but now a transcendent being with great divine powers, but still unable to achieve.

‘I want to defeat Cain, successfully complete the trials of Death’s karma, and return to Earth.’

As they spoke of their wishes, the cold air of emptiness penetrated Cynthia’s body through her divine power.

In the cold air that made her feel like she was going to lose consciousness, Cynthia barely managed to stay conscious with Irina’s help.

[You can do it, Sia.]

Irina cheered Cynthia on and held her hand tightly.

‘I want to help Irina and liberate the Sanctuary.’

The wish that started as one spread out to the surroundings and became countless.

There were many things I wanted to do and many things I had to do.

[ I want to… help Irina defeat Cain, the Apostle of the End. ]

Ultimately, there was only one thing to do to make all these wishes come true.

By defeating Cain and erasing the Apostle of the Foreign God from Langrt, the shackles of bondage imposed by the Watcher are broken.

Cynthia sent out her wish to the universe with fervent hope. She didn’t know if the wish would reach the ‘he’ Irina had mentioned, but she thought about it over and over again, determined to keep wishing until it did.

How much time has passed like that?

In the cold air, I could no longer hear Irina’s voice clearly. I could clearly feel the warmth of her hand, but her voice sounded faint… but I couldn’t make out what it was.

Although a great and vast amount of divine power protected Cynthia, she was still unable to completely block the cold air of this outer space because she was not yet skilled at controlling it.

‘I can’t… end it like this.’

Cynthia didn’t give up.

I thought that once I got over this hurdle, the foreign media would definitely respond.

[Give me… protection…!]

When I finally expressed my last desire,

The area before my eyes became filled with white and the shape of a giant book appeared.

The space had soon been transformed into a library filled with books on all sides, and the cold air of outer space was no longer felt.

‘Hey, what happened to Irina…?’

Suddenly, she became concerned about Irina’s safety, but Cynthia quickly decided to focus on the foreign news in front of her, believing that she would somehow be safe.

‘First of all… we need to get protection from foreign media.’

The pages of the book quickly turned with a “clang-clang-clang” sound.

‘… Is this a foreign news report? It looks like a book… just like the one engraved on the back of Irina’s hand.’

I heard that the foreign god is a conceptual god without thoughts, is that what it means?

‘A book is just a form taken… Is there a separate body? I don’t know… .’

As Cynthia was pondering her questions, the book stopped turning on its own at a blank page.

Swish- swish- swish-

On the blank page was written something unintelligible. It was a strange language that even her Akashic Records access, which was almost a high-level transcendental level, could not decipher.

Several characters that were supposed to be words were written in the book, and the moment it was completed, Cynthia somehow thought she could read it.

“《 Will Gaho 》《 be with you 》?”

As I pronounced the three-syllable sentence, the sentence rose into the air, emitting a brilliant white light.

“■■■… ■■… Guardian.”

Cynthia kept calling out the name of something that suddenly came to her mind, then soon pronounced it in its entirety.

“Your title is… Guardian.”

” Guardian “

That was the name of the foreign news that took the form of a book.

I don’t know what you are trying to protect.

Whether it is the information of the knowledge he contains, or the living beings in the universe, or the concept of order.

Cynthia couldn’t figure it out.

However, it was certain that a guardian, a foreign messenger, had granted him protection.

The letters written inside him transformed into strange words again, gathered in the air, and soon took the shape of a book and were engraved on the back of Cynthia’s hand.

‘My body is full of energy.’

The specifics remained to be seen, but Cynthia felt a sense of omnipotence she had never felt before.

I was literally in a state where I felt like I could do anything.

This is probably not simply because of the protection, but because the foreign gods have officially recognized his status, thus officially obtaining the status of a higher transcendent being.

‘Huh? What is this?’

Pajijik- Pajijik-

The scales pattern on her palm was suddenly destroyed when a pattern imbued with the power of an outsider was engraved on it.

‘Is it possible to overlap the protection?’

Cynthia was quite surprised when the scales symbol, which could be called the protection of the Pantheon, disappeared.

Even after ascending to a higher level of divinity, unilateral termination of a contract is something I still have no confidence in, but to do it so easily… It seems that foreign news is foreign news after all.

Cynthia thought it was a good thing that it disappeared since she didn’t use the ability since she didn’t know the inner workings of the Pantheon Transcendents anyway.

Thump- The book floating in front of Cynthia was closed.

The book, which was dozens of times her size, floated in the air and then moved somewhere.

‘Are you asking me to follow you?’

Cynthia instinctively felt that this was a signal to follow and followed the book.

There was a door there.

The door was made of transparent material, so what was beyond was clearly visible.

“That’s… Earth…?”

Beyond the doorway, a blue glowing planet was visible.

Next to it, a moon was floating, tiny compared to the Earth.

The field of vision gradually expanded, and soon it illuminated a part of the continent. And then the Korean Peninsula, which she had longed for so much. In particular, it illuminated the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

The sky was colored purple, unlike any other scenery I had seen from space.

“Why on earth are there so many monsters… Could it be the Watcher?”

Cynthia realized that the Watcher’s clutches had extended to the universe she belonged to.

“Why on earth are you showing me this?”

Cynthia, standing there with a resentful expression, had no intention of going beyond the door, but instead asked the book floating in the air.

But the book gave no answers.

I just floated quietly, waiting for her to make her choice.

“The choice is… mine… .”

The Guardian offered Cynthia two paths.

Will you abandon your promise to Irina and use your powers to return to Earth and protect your home?

Or will he return to Langrt and confront Cain, liberate the Sanctuary, and grant everyone a peaceful rest?

“… … .”

Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then made a firm decision.

Anyway, the choice was decided from the beginning.

“I am….”
