Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 509: Age After Ending (23)

‘How can he do this?’ He didn’t know. ‘How can he open the Abyss Door? What the heck is that?’

He tried to know everything about the Necromancer, but he couldn’t.

‘Abyss’ was a term that appeared frequently in skills using ‘death magic’ or ‘black magic’. ‘Abyss Breath’ was the air there, and ‘Death Response’ was to summon zombies wandering there. And ‘Tartarus’, the bottom of the hell where the ‘Apocalypse Army’ was sealed, was also only a part of the abyss.

As was often understood in that context, the abyss was often thought of like a tomb where the empty shells of all the dead were gathered.

In other words, it was the source of the power of death.

As the one who controlled the power of death, Sungwoo could control the abyss or the entire bizarre space. This was the power he obtained when he achieved ‘Second Awakening’ by reaching level 50, but his Second Awakening was not known to the public because except for Sungwoo, no one even reached level 50, let alone level 60.

As always, Sungwoo hid it to use this skill as a ‘hidden card’ just in case.

So he could win easily thanks to this hidden card.

He could have won without it, but it was a waste of time for him to confront a guy like Z for a long time.

After subduing the uninvited guest in an instant, Sungwoo approached the ‘tunnel’. Researchers were busy going around and checking the condition of the tunnel from time to time.

Wooooooooo-

The tunnel, which had collapsed a year ago, was radiating cynic energy as if it was back to normal. Hendrix, the head of the lab, approached him.

“The wormhole will open soon.”

“I’ve come right on time, fortunately.”

“You bet.”

Sungwoo slightly turned his head to look at Z.

He was completely subdued, crushed by the Abyss Hands. As if he gave up, he was looking toward them, or more precisely, the tunnel, without saying anything. He was also waiting for the wormhole to open, so the so-called ‘Deus ex Machina could come out of it to save him.

“10 seconds before the wormhole opens!”

Finally, the countdown began.

“8, 7, 6 . . .”

With one of the researchers doing the countdown, everyone held their breath, watching the wormhole.

“5, 4, 3 . . .”

What the hell will come out this time? Are they friendly to us?

“2, 1 . . . .”

Finally, a critical point has been reached.

“Wormhole! It has opened!”

As soon as he shouted, the tunnel began to emit more intense light than ever before.

Powerful energy emitted from the tunnel and hit the ceiling. The impact caused cracks in the ceiling, but fortunately, there were no signs of collapse. If they hadn’t reinforced it with heavy-duty material, it would have certainly collapsed.

That strange phenomenon continued for about 10 seconds, then started to stop very slowly.

“...”

Shortly afterward, the researchers came to their senses, analyzed, and reported about the current situation.

“When we analyzed it, the wormhole was stabilized after we recovered it completely. So the passage to Earth Zero has been opened again.”

After he said that, everybody became silent all of a sudden.

Many people looked around. The wormhole has just opened. Then, wasn’t something supposed to come out?”

But it didn’t seem like anything came out through that passage. No one witnessed such a thing.

“Something has come out of it.”

Sungwoo felt it. His indescribable sense told him that something already arrived here. Although he could not confirm its reality, he was convinced.

Then it directly revealed its existence.

“Yes, as promised, we are here.”

it was just a voice

It was as if a voice, which was not clear if it was the voice of a man or a woman, an old man or a child, clearly got stuck into his brain, not his ears. His brain recognized it as a voice, but it probably wasn’t a ‘voice’ in the phenomenal sense.

“...”

And it was heard by everyone. But not everyone could talk, so they just looked at Sungwoo. The only person who could negotiate with that mysterious existence was Sungwoo.

At that moment somebody shouted, “It’s me!”

Someone’s voice rang before Sungwoo.

“I have been waiting for you!”

It was Z. Z, who was crushed by the Abyss Hands, screamed with all his might.

“I have no intention of resisting you, but I will help you rule this world, and I understand and respect the games you enjoy! So please use me...Kheeek!”

Sungwoo moved Abyss Hands to press Z hard, so he had to stop talking nonsense.

But the voice in the air didn’t seem to like Z’s phantom too much.

“We are not them.”

“What?”

Z was embarrassed. It wasn’t the answer he expected at all.

“It is rather the opposite. We have come to you to destroy them.”

Hearing that, Sungwoo opened his mouth.

“You want the destruction of Earth Zero?”

“Yes.”

“Then, let me ask you something.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

If they wished for the destruction of Earth Zero, it meant that at least they were not the enemy.

‘Of course, I can’t always believe it innocently’

There was no law that the opposite concept of the enemy was an ally.

Since he was outwitted by the opponent sometimes, he always had to doubt the identity of the opponent. In other words, he needed to verify the other party’s identity.

Sungwoo thought hard about his first question.

“Alright. Let me ask.”

“Sure.”

“The wormhole was closed, then how did you get in touch with us? Can you tell me where you came from as a visitor?”

The best way to identify a stranger was not to ask him directly because there was no law that he would tell the truth. So it would be best to get the specific answer by asking a loaded question.

In that regard, Sungwoo’s two questions, ‘How did you contact us?’ and ‘Where did you come from?’, would reveal some of their identity.

The voice answered, “We used quantum entanglement. Before the wormhole was closed, we split and collected some of the protons of the guy who had been with you, a total of 2,445 protons, and used those protons.”

Sungwoo did not know what he was talking about, but the researchers seemed to be agitated by the word ‘quantum entanglement.’

“Quantum entanglement? Is that possible?”

“Oh My God······.”

Even the GMs seemed embarrassed because a system error caused by outside intervention in a closed wormhole was a mystery that even they did not understand.

A theory existed, but was it a technology that they failed to realize?

Then it was certain that they had more advanced technology than Earth Zero.

Perhaps, as Sangun testified, were they divine beings?

Sungwoo needed more information.

“Alright. There is something you haven’t answered yet. Whatever the purpose of your visit here, I must find it out. Where are you from?”

“Are you beating around the bush now? To put it simply, you are curious about our identity, right?” the voice asked as if it already read Sungwoo’s mind.

“Yes. Can you be honest with me?”

Everyone focused on the question.

Everybody here wanted to know what on earth this bizarre being was.

The voice answered, “Of course.”

Then the voice began to testify something, which nobody expected at all.
