◈ I Made a Tier List the Transcendents Are Obsessed With ◈
Chapter 36: Disappearance
──────
"Ugh. Fucking disgusting."
Even after using magic to clean off the filth, I still felt a little grossed out.
To begin with, how had I even stepped in dog shit? I had reached a realm where I absorbed information about my surroundings in real time without needing to pay special attention.
It was misfortune born from every possible coincidence coming together.
Still, the girls seemed to be enjoying themselves despite that misfortune.
"Wow, wow. Can we ride that ferry too?"
"...Yeah. Go ahead."
"Come on, Judy!"
"Wooow!"
The two ran all over the place, making the most of their sightseeing.
Thanks to all the spiritual medicines she had eaten and rubbed on herself, only Wendy's physical abilities had become absurdly good. She was practically carrying Judy around like a favorite stuffed toy.
I did not say anything as I watched them.
There was no need to say something useless like, "We didn't come here to sightsee."
They would have to face the situation soon enough anyway.
'...I'm a little worried, though.'
The original protagonist was already fully formed.
They upheld their sense of justice perfectly, yet made bold decisions without hesitation whenever necessary.
Of course, they tended to trust people's goodwill a little too much, so they got stabbed in the back several times...
Still, the protagonist and Judy were alike, yet different beings.
What if this incident gave her some kind of trauma...
"Do I need to do more?"
"No."
...That was what I had been worried about.
Apparently, there was no need.
Crackle, crackle.
Sparks flew in every direction as Judy's hair stuck up in jagged spikes.
I shook my head as I looked at this mission's "targets," now crisped black.
"...Good job."
"Yes. I'll clean up!"
Judy beamed at my praise and pulled out a long chain formed from mana.
As I watched her bind them together with it, I could not help feeling a little awed.
I was not yet that accustomed to combat. Even before coming to Hyeondeok City, when I had killed people, and during the previous mission, I had needed things like sedatives.
This girl really was different by nature.
"Urgh... Ugh..."
"Are you okay?"
"...Bleurgh."
Wendy kept dry-heaving at the gruesome sight of people turning into charcoal before her eyes, along with the foul smell.
Of course, Wendy's reaction was the normal one. My stomach was queasy too, even if not to that extent.
I patted Wendy's back, then turned and accepted Judy's "bundle of electrically roasted bodies."
Her sparkling eyes were filled only with happiness at having been praised.
"I'll carry them. Good job, Judy."
"Hehe..."
One thing became even clearer today.
Adopting this girl as my daughter had been an excellent decision.

[ My Daughter's Kind of Scary These Days ] - Oz
Went out for a walk with her and ran into some punks.
I thought maybe I shouldn't let the kid see something nasty, but my daughter turned them all into electric barbecue by herself...
She came running over with this huge smile, asking if she did well, and it was a little scary...
What if she gets sick of me someday and hauls her unwanted old man off on a pack frame to abandon him... Scary...

-What the hell is this post? Hahahahaha
-Is this about that adopted daughter Oz mentioned before?
-If someone at Oz's level adopted her, isn't she at least a Transcendent? Can you even call that a kid?
ㄴFrom Oz's perspective, she's a kid. Hahaha
ㄴHonestly, even newly Transcended people look like kids to you.
ㄴTrue enough.
-What do you mean, punks? What kind of lunatics would pick a fight with them?
ㄴYou should check who you're dealing with before picking a fight. Hahaha
ㄴTheir luck was fucking awful. Of all people, they ran into Oz?
ㄴI've decided to make sure I always look harmless from now on... Yeah.
ㄴ1. If you find an unusually close mother and daughter in a Great Heavenly World, leave the area immediately.
ㄴAaaaaaagh!!!!!!
While the "event" in which Transcendents from all thirteen Dimensions hunted down the remnants of the Precept Court and Security Bureau was still underway, the post written by the event's organizer did not get buried despite being somewhat pointless.
At this point, Oz was revered as not merely the unquestioned master of the Transcendent Gallery, but the unquestioned master of all thirteen Dimensions.
That was only natural.
The wars among Transcendents that once crossed Dimensions every day had disappeared.
The commanding cries of heroes who had subdued a chaotic world had been buried beneath the sands of time.
And everyone had gradually forgotten such things.
In an age when epics and fables beyond transcendence had become crude jokes, Oz alone had completely overturned the Great Heavenly Worlds across all thirteen Dimensions.
-Oz) I just exposed them because I couldn't stand the sight of them.
However, the person responsible for that unprecedented incident remained completely calm.
Naturally, even that demeanor became part of the reverence surrounding Oz.
Those bastards had wielded Absolute Law and causality as weapons. Oz had turned the tables by creating causality recognized by the world itself and taking revenge.
Could there be a more satisfying result?
Questions arose about how such a thing had been possible, but most simply chose to accept the phenomenon as it was.
-Trying to explain it in the first place is what's funny. Has anyone even seen Oz's toes yet?
-Don't try to understand ittttt!!!
-Install an air brain... Only what you see and hear is real!!!
In any case, was it not enough that all Dimensions were lively again?
That one sentence settled everything.
[ Honestly, I'm Scared ] - Broken Covenant
I've stopped wanting to know who Oz really is...
Fear is stronger than curiosity, seriously;;;
I'm scared I'll end up like ordinary mortals whose heads explode after seeing information above their access grade.
You guys figure it out yourselves...

-This is true. I'm curious, but I don't want to dig into it myself.
ㄴSomeone else should find out, spread it through the Gallery, and boldly go into eternal annihilation.
ㄴThere probably wouldn't even be a trace left. Hahaha
-Oz) Would you believe me if I said I'm just an ordinary young man with a kid?
ㄴAt least put some effort into your bullshit.
ㄴBoring concept. Out. Hahaha
ㄴOz has finally lost their touch.
ㄴBwahahahahaha! Fanfare~~~!!!
ㄴSomeone who knows the real identities of every fixed-name user just by reading Gallery posts, knows every Transcendent's techniques and every deity's power, and makes every Transcendent they have messaged directly tremble... Whew, I'm out of breath.
ㄴThere is no novel where someone with unprecedented omniscience, who tells all causality to fuck off and opens Grand Narratives at will, is actually just an ordinary mortal???!!!
ㄴOz) ;;;;;
ㄴI wondered why this was a popular post. It was because of this. Hahaha
ㄴIt's fucking funny when Oz comes to the Gallery sometimes just to tank the comments. Seriously. Hahaha
And amid that situation, the truth scattered away, worth less than a handful of sand.
It was truly a lamentable state of affairs.
"That was intentional, but still."
Of course, Jin had deliberately planted that perception throughout the Gallery.
Even so, whenever he saw how bizarre that perception had become, he could not help feeling a little skeptical.
The protagonist who walked only the righteous path and upheld the principle of punishing evil.
...The fact that their father was a legendary con artist deceiving every Dimension was somewhat ironic.
He was afraid of what kind of epithets he would receive after transcending.
Thinking about that, Jin could only squeeze his eyes shut for a while.
* * *
The Transcendent Gallery was experiencing remarkable quiet for the first time in a long while.
Of course, events throughout all thirteen Dimensions were still utter chaos.
But within the Gallery, only warm (?) small talk was being exchanged.
-You probably should not go to the 2nd Dimension.
ㄴIt cannot be helped. It is a weak Dimension.
ㄴI have not even pissed in that direction for a long time.
-Ho ho, today I captured two lower Adjudicators and three Precept Court security officers.
ㄴThat is quite a haul. I envy you... The three of us only found one Security Bureau inspector.
ㄴDo you happen to know that the 10th Dimension is a honey pot?
ㄴOh, the 10th Dimension is such a gold mine? I have not kept up with the news...
ㄴCome quickly. Many lowlifes are hiding in Galaxy Sector A214. Detection does not work there, so please bring someone with sharp eyes.
ㄴThank you for the helpful tip. Heh heh.
The old atmosphere, almost wild as they shared limitless love, written as "love" and read as "mockery," for each other, was nowhere to be found.
The first major battle had already ended, but most had sensed defeat early and fled.
There were even more high-ranking people among those escapees, so all Transcendents had gathered under the banner of rooting them out completely.
Thus, the Gallery had escaped its period of chaos and entered a great period of stability.
It would take quite a long time, at least, for all this excitement to settle down.
Of course.
Even amid this chaos, Oz's posts attracted attention on their own.
That name was now known not only to the Gallery's higher Transcendents, but to every being aware of this incident.
-But Oz hasn't been around lately?
ㄴThey must be doing something else. Hahaha. Honestly, even with this much going on, there must have been some backlash.
ㄴAnyone else would've died before they even wrote a quarter as much. Hahaha
-I'm starting to get an itch for a ranking chart...
ㄴFor real. After seeing the fighting this time, the usual names in the Top 10 really did seem different.
But at some point, news of Oz stopped.
For the first few years, there was little reaction.
The hunt still continued throughout the Great Heavenly Worlds, and a few years were so brief they could be called an instant.
Especially considering the scale of this incident, the general opinion was that Oz probably needed some rest.
-Why isn't Oz coming back? Why isn't Oz coming back? Why isn't Oz coming back? Why isn't Oz coming back? Why isn't Oz coming back?
-No, the last post was asking how much catnip a cat should get. Hahahahaha
ㄴWasn't that about some lion Spirit Beast from the start? Hahaha
-Someone said this earlier, but did Oz really just go to sleep...???
ㄴIf an Absolute Deity sleeps, they won't be back for at least tens of thousands of years...
ㄴSuper!!!!!!Emergency!!!!!!!
However, around forty years passed.
By the time all the remnants were gradually being dealt with, the Transcendents gathered in the Gallery began to feel anxious.
What if Oz really did not return?
By the time such speculation spread everywhere, some people had gone completely mad.
-Day 16,551 of praying for Oz's return to the Gallery.
-Was living always this boring...?
ㄴThe smile has disappeared from my face too...
ㄴThe Myriad Realms Chronicle will soon assign a fable name, but the originator is absent?!
-If!!! We wait!!! Just one more day!!! Oz will return!!! Because every time the wait exceeds twenty-four hours!!!!!! I will smash my head with heavenly tribulations and turn it into a scrambled mess!!!!!!!
After tasting freedom for the first time in at least several hundred million years, the world that had returned to "normal" was unbearably boring.
After the Security Bureau and Precept Court collapsed, the remaining fable fragments had been gathered. The powerful figures of each Dimension had voluntarily established their own institutions.
Under those institutions, peace and order settled in, and causality spread across the world...
It was fucking boring.
Thus, everyone cried out only for news of the vanished Oz.
Just as all the Transcendents in existence fell into despair.
-OnlyRegression) This lady shall divine Oz's whereabouts.
ㄴDamn it, I knew I could count on you!!!!!!
ㄴYou are the hope of our village!!!!!!!
ㄴOnlyXRegression! OnlyXRegression! OnlyXRegression! OnlyXRegression!
The unquestioned highest rank.
The shaman who had been the only one to uncover even one piece of Oz's personal information made her declaration.
-OnlyRegression) But everyone, I have a request. You know what I mean, right?
ㄴI've put it in...
ㄴHurry up and put it in, everyone.
ㄴI've got plenty of karma, but can't I send it to the Gallery? The reverse works, so why doesn't this?
Along with that, countless people's wishes gathered. OnlyRegression burned Karma equivalent to five hundred million years by highest-rank standards and began her divination.
This was dangerous enough to damage her True Body, beyond merely consuming a large amount.
However, after successfully withstanding all that pressure, she...
[ Oz Is Currently Bound ] - OnlyRegression
...reported every sight she had managed to confirm to the Gallery, then collapsed gloriously.
-Bound...?
-Fuck, are you saying Oz got kidnapped or something?
ㄴIs that even possible...?
ㄴJust say they're into that kind of play instead. Hahaha
ㄴOh...
ㄴHuh...? My horns are...?
-But isn't this actually dangerous?
ㄴWe shouldn't just dismiss this as a joke. Seriously.
ㄴWhat if the causality backlash from the exposure left Oz defenseless, and someone really did kidnap them...?
ㄴDon't make it sound plausible, fuck.
But the report was so bizarre that it only intensified the confusion in the Gallery.
