Mizura translated most of the new chapters here, and BKS is working on the newest chapters.

I wonder if there are summaries of the new Finite? Not straight up translations since I read the old one. Just short summaries.

So anyway, I've compiled this list of revelations from the finite! Currygom says the novel isn't necessary to understand the webtoon, but I think it still revealed a Lot about the world. I'll update this if we learn anything new in the epilogues.

As a reminder, I've been toiling miserably to try to understand what I could with Google Translate, but save for parts explicitely corrected by Koreans, I can't guarantee the accuracy of anything, so corrections are More than welcome. biggrin.png It'd be too much to ask someone to look over all the summaries, but I'd greatly appreciate it if any mistakes in the compilation could be corrected at least.

Domains:

  • Apparently, the higher the domain, the faster time passes.
  • Yama's domain is even higher than Indra's, so time passes really fast. This is convenient for Yama, because if others want to bother him about prolonging a person's life, then by the time they're done arguing, that person would have died already, so Yama doesn't need to bother.
  • The Gods' realm can be accessed by Nastika (whether other Sura can has not been clarified), but Gods regenerate very fast within the God's realm, so the Nastika are unable to overthrow the Gods' realm.
  • Gods control the fate of dead humans. Heretics are sent to Hell. It is impossible for a Sura to save a human who has gone to Hell.

 

 

This is causing a bit of a headache. I don't think the translation is wrong, because Currygom says this in the Episode 80 afterword:

 

■ In Kubera, there is both a normal afterlife and Hell, which are different. Time speeds up in the afterlife, but in Hell it slows down. What would be only a moment in real life can be a very long time for those who are suffering in Hell. This is why the gods who hang around in Hell, like Agni, have lived longer than other gods.


On the wiki it's been pointed out that it should be the opposite. Time flows slower in the god realm than the human realm, if one second in the god realm is equivalent to, say, one day in the human realm. Beings age faster in the human realm than in the god realm, which is the whole point of Yama hanging around the god realm.

And time flows faster in Hell than the human realm. As Currygom puts it, a moment in real life (human realm) can be a very long time in Hell.

 

So it should be that time slows down in the afterlife and/or god realm, and time speeds up in Hell, relative to the human realm.

Right? Or am I wrong?

Time slows down the Faster you , go , the higher the gravity or the higher the energy level  ( Like How Hot it is like in Hell ) .

 

Time speeds up if you have a low relative velocity , are in low gravity or near absolute Zero .
