chapter 201
201. The parasitic ego honey taste!
There was a need to check something terrible that swayed underground in the image world of the sage.
Leon immediately moved to check what it was.
“Hey Siri, take it out.”
[Use the power of vigilance.]
It wasn’t that difficult.
It was just a matter of breaking down the boundaries of the location and bringing it right in front.
The power of the boundary moved, and soon something approached in front of Leon.
‘It’s terrible.’
I thought that the ego created by cutting out the world of images and the soul might have a human appearance, but it wasn’t at all.
‘I’m not a parasitic self for nothing.’
It was not a power that existed alone. He was a guy close to a parasite parasitic on another world of images.
There was no need to move complicatedly here. In the first place, this guy was in a state where he couldn’t move because of the sage’s meditation.
‘google.’
[Gureuk!]
‘Eat it. Don’t break it, swallow it whole.’
[Guruk guruk!]
Google responded excitedly. Soon, a huge mouth appeared in the air.
gulp-!
Kieeck!
The guy screamed as Google was sucked into his mouth.
But it didn’t matter. The boy still couldn’t come out.
Because of the power of the boundary, it only existed in front of my eyes, but because of the sage, it was half-sealed.
[Kuruk!]
He even burped as if he was satisfied. The parasitic ego disappeared from the body of the sage.
‘Let’s see what’s inside soon?’
Now it was time to check what information the parasitic ego contained, but the sage, who had been meditating, opened his eyes.
“finally!”
The wise man screamed as if he was close to joy.
“Liberation!”
The sage’s appearance was somehow strange.
‘That’s… … .’
It was the appearance of a sage before returning. The appearance at the time that had greed for power. There was only one thing that had changed since then.
It wasn’t that he was blinded by greed. However, that made Leone goosebumps.
‘Wait a minute.’
Because he is meditating in the world of images, he has become a sage. What will happen when the meditation is over?
Of course it goes back to the old days.
With the parasitic ego gone, I wouldn’t cross the line, but that was more dangerous.
‘I’m going to be a clever madman.’
It was he who already had enormous authority as a sage. If he opened his eyes to greed, it would be like a disaster.
‘The parasitic ego made him a wise man.’
After losing his precious lower body due to Leon’s scheme, he became a wise man because he sealed his greed deep in the world of images.
‘I think this will become a problem if the parasitic ego disappears?’
Others may not know it, but the sage needed a parasitic self. In order for him to become a sage, he had to have a parasitic ego.
‘google! Spit it out!’
[Gureuk!]
As soon as Google spit out its parasitic self, the sage’s behavior immediately changed.
“Oh, no!”
It was a completely different look from the one who laughed and shouted with satisfaction.
As soon as the parasitic ego was released, the sage immediately returned to his meditative form.
‘The reason I became a sage was because I had a parasitic ego.’
The evidence was in front of my eyes.
The world of images was like a mirror reflecting the mind. Even if it was a little different from the real thing, the events happening here were not meaningless.
‘If I don’t have a parasitic self, I won’t be a sage anymore.’
something other than sage.
It becomes something out of control. That wasn’t what Leon wanted.
‘We have to maintain the status quo.’
Simply devouring the parasitic self only made matters worse. So I needed to be a little flexible.
‘Don’t just eat it, fill it with something else.’
[Gureuk?]
Google asked what that meant, but it wasn’t what he said. Leone called Siri.
‘Hey Siri. Did you understand me?’
[understand. What can I fill it with?]
It had to contain something dangerous and terrible, like a parasitic self. With that kind of power, Leon also had one.
‘Demon power. Put the pain in it.’
If the sage loses his composure and regains his greed, he will be engulfed in great pain.
This can be a new safety device while maintaining the current status. Siri understood Rion’s will and moved straight away.
[Gureuk!]
gulp.
The moment Google swallowed him.
[The power of pain is given to the parasitic ego.]
filled it with pain.
‘uh?’
The problem was that Pain seemed far more dangerous than the parasitic self.
A black flame blazed there, like hellfire burning.
‘… … Does this look too dangerous?’
First of all, it seemed necessary to observe. The sage flinched as if he felt something strange.
The moment when the concentration is distracted and the meditation is slightly broken.
“Keooo!”
He began to shudder in great pain.
‘Hey Siri!’
[I will treat you.]
Immediately after Siri moved and bestowed divine power, the sage began meditating again.
The pain that burned like hellfire disappeared in an instant and the sage’s body stabilized.
Having tasted the pain, it was clear that meditation would not be easy to break.
‘I think I can go out and check it one last time?’
[Would you like to leave like this?]
‘okay. Let’s go out.’
Leone came out of the image world.
* * *
It was shit outside.
Everything around was smashed. Perhaps because of this, agents surrounded Leone’s body as if to protect it, and one agent thrust a dagger into the sage’s neck.
“Withdraw.”
As soon as Leon’s voice was heard, the agents quickly disappeared into the shadows.
“Are you awake?”
The sage answered Leon’s question.
“haha. Yes. are up While you entered the world of images, it seems that there was an uproar outside.”
Even when a knife was about to enter his throat, he couldn’t break his composure.
It was the usual sage look.
“Do you remember what happened in the image world?”
“It is rare. I thought I had thrown away all my greed, but it feels like I was greedy for a moment.”
As Leon thought, it seemed that he had to meditate in the world of images to maintain his current sage state.
“I got rid of what they planted in the mental world.”
“thank you. You worked hard.”
“But, there was a problem.”
“Is it a problem?”
Leon told a new story by mixing lies and truth.
“Do you know exactly how the wise man is currently?”
“What does it mean?”
“The way the wise man attained enlightenment is a little different from that of ordinary people.”
“you’re right. It will be a little different because I lost everything and finally came to enlightenment.”
It was just an external situation.
What Leon was explaining was what happened in the world of images.
“It’s just the appearance, but something a little different happened in the mental world.”
“Is there a difference between what is seen and what actually happened?”
He came in stabbed to the core.
“That’s right. Do you think it is possible for humans to give up all greed and desire?”
“Huh. I would have said it was possible in the past, but it’s different now. I felt greedy even though it was only a matter of time.”
Leon nodded.
“I saw the former wise man in the world of images. The wise man was meditating and excluding greed and evil desires.”
“I am meditating… … .”
He pondered over Leon’s words.
“What they planted in the wise man was the amplification of emotions. It made me have more greed and desire.”
Had he not met the Darkness, the sage would not have been obsessed with power. Even though I couldn’t climb to the high level.
“But, that was rather beneficial to the wise man. Now that the negative emotions are clustered together, it is much easier to rule them out.”
The sage’s enlightenment was not achieved simply because his lower body was burned.
The parasitic ego planted by the darkness and the operation to remove the lower body that Leon had executed for revenge were perfectly meshed, and he reached enlightenment.
A smile appeared on the wise man’s face after hearing Leon’s explanation.
“As expected, all of this was the flow of fate. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I hadn’t met the parish priest.”
I didn’t know there would be such a reaction.
Besides, there were stories that hadn’t been told yet.
“There is a story I haven’t told you.”
“I have a sense of what it might be like. Did you remove it and plant something else?”
The sage perfectly understood Rion’s story. After all, he wasn’t a sage for nothing.
“That’s right. When I removed what the darkness planted, the imaginary world was out of balance. So I had no choice but to plant something else.”
“As expected, the balance was broken, so I became greedy.”
He looked like he wasn’t even worried about what Leon had planted.
“Aren’t you worried about what I might have planted?”
“it’s okay. As long as I maintain this balance as a sage, there will be no problem?”
“It is, but… … .”
“It is to be expected that he planted something out of the ordinary to maintain that balance. I don’t care what you planted.”
He even comforted Leon, as if telling him not to worry.
“If your composure is disrupted, you will be in danger.”
“Don’t worry, it will never break. haha. But just in case, I will start meditating a little bit from today.”
Of course, there was no need to worry about that. In the world of images, the sage tasted pain and meditated as best he could.
“I am so sorry for planting something in your mental world without words. Thank you for forgiving the rudeness.”
“no. Rather, I thank you for allowing me to maintain this balance.”
A benevolent smile appeared on the wise man’s face.
“I am grateful that I am included in the fate of the parish priest.”
He bowed his head deeply towards Leon.

After breaking up with the wise man, Leone was studying the parasitic ego absorbed in the room.
‘Can you pull it out?’
[It’s a bit difficult. Even if you absorb the parasitic ego, the memories won’t come in completely.]
‘It’s really not normal.’
Obtain a parasitic self, and extract information from it. I thought it would end so easily, but it wasn’t.
The darkness was not so lighthearted.
‘What did you do?’
[The purpose is parasitic in the first place, so absorption is not good. This was possible because I have a deep understanding of the world of images.]
‘no. Because I knew that the black guy was good. How can we use this?’
[It seems possible if you collect more parasitic egos and make them bigger.]
‘Are you sure?’
[You have to try it.]
Leon sighed. Something related to the darkness was never easily solved.
‘Then, is there no benefit to extracting the parasitic self?’
[That’s not it. There is progress in an entirely different direction.]
‘Another direction?’
The gain came from an unexpected place.
[This ego seems to have no powers, but it doesn’t at all.]
‘I don’t feel anything special?’
[It does not have powers such as divine power or mana.]
At that moment, even though he was not wearing a mask, the power of vigilance moved.
[The parasitic ego contains enormous power to deal with powers. It seems that some of his powers came with it.]
The boundaries of Leon’s office began to grow and shrink.
‘crazy… … .’
I couldn’t get the memory to get it, and it seemed like I got something else.
‘Call everyone except the prince!’
I’ll have to collect the parasitic ego and see. Memories could be obtained elsewhere as well.
