Regressing with the King’s Power Chapter 263

Episode 263

The surprise was short-lived.

A new message appeared before Taehyun’s eyes.

It was about the increase in physical abilities.

It’s not surprising.

It was a natural result since the doppelganger preyed on him.

Rather, compared to when I feasted on Igmun’s alter ego the other day, the increase is not as large.

It also meant that Taehyun had reached a transcendental realm.

‘An SSS grade gate appeared after a year…’

Just before Taehyun’s regression.

The person who was holding the number one spot in the world rankings was definitely Cody Cruz.

‘There was no information that he blocked an SSS grade brake on his own.’

in other words.

Taehyun has already surpassed Cody Cruise in his previous life.

Either Cody Cruise was hiding his powers.

It had to be one of two things.

‘Well, I guess it’s the latter… but either way, explosive growth will be difficult now.’

Taehyun took a deep breath.

The stronger I get, the more I feel its weight.

A feeling of oppressive pressure.

It is not easy to contain enormous power in one’s body.

Just a moment ago, several skills were running wild and my body almost collapsed.

‘I need to refrain from learning new skills for the time being.’

There was a need to grow the physical vessel a little more to match the stronger skills.

The power of runaway.

It was by far the worst compatibility among powers that Taehyun had faced so far.

‘There is a need to increase skill proficiency to achieve more complete control.’

Even if quantitative growth is achieved as is, it will be difficult to properly resist in front of Jormungand.

Orgal. Excuse me. Beelzebub. Jormungand.

There are already four archdukes that Taehyun has faced.

‘We need to figure out what to do about them as soon as possible.’

This is when Taehyun thinks so.

The message I was waiting for suddenly occurred to me.

Tiring.

[The quest reward has been confirmed.]

[The proficiency of the Heart of a higher-ranking skill (SS) has increased.] [

The magic power of the Heart of a higher-ranking skill (SS) has changed.]

[The Eyes of a higher-ranking skill (SS) )’s proficiency has increased.]

[The proficiency of the skill Blood Rush (SS) has increased.] [

The magic power of the summoning skill Jormungand (SS) has changed.]

[Skill ???(???) has been registered. .]

[Skill ???(???) registration has been cancelled.]

“What is this?”

skill ‘???’.

This is another reward from the quest.

But even though I completed the quest, my registration was canceled.

‘Something didn’t satisfy me.’

Naturally, I couldn’t help but think that way.

Even in Taehyun’s opinion, the final ending wasn’t smooth.

‘It’s better.’

Even if a new skill is created in its current state, it could be poisonous.

“I thought it was something grand because it was a quest. “Nothing special.”

Taehyun muttered indifferently.

However, contrary to his words, his mouth was full of smiles.

Even though I didn’t get the second skill. The income was not small.

How to use the new feature called Quest.

Utilization of new skills.

Increases in stats and skill proficiency, etc.

More than anything.

‘This is the level where Taehyun must move forward.’

Just one thing alone is a significant achievement.

I couldn’t help but be happy because I got all these things at once.

at that time.

Tiring.

[Skill Memorize (S) has been activated. ‘Fragments of a tribal war’ were recorded.]

‘What?’

To an unexpected message.

Taehyun hurriedly opened the status window.

A list of quests in the status window enhanced by Kim Jong-ho.

The change there was noticeable.

[Quest]

Race War (???) – ???(0.5%)

Territory War (???) – ???(???%)

Gray Disease (C) – Produce a vaccine for gray disease. (60%)

‘This is…’

The percentage of ethnic war floating around as a question mark was quantified.

The same goes for gray disease.

Although the explanation is clunky, the percentages are floating around like everything else.

Judging from my previous experience.

‘It looks like there’s progress in Alchemist.’

This was also not bad income.

So much so that it can no longer be called a personal status window.

Information about Taehyun’s involvement is observable.

If used well, it not only changes the flow of battle.

So much so that one can understand the flow of the world.

‘It’s great power.’

Taehyun quietly expressed his gratitude to Kim Jongho.

Of course, all of this may have been a synergy that he also didn’t expect.

Taehyun closed the status window and then looked around.

A devastated Fukuoka was visible.

Although it was only for a short time, it was the place where the deepest incubation took place.

Just like Guangzhou.

It would become an uninhabitable ghost town for decades.

“It’s the Abyss… It’s in the middle of a mountain.”

Once again, I realized the seriousness of what the shadow was trying to do.

What if a gate break like this happens in a densely populated area?

What if a player like Taehyun is present and unable to block it?

It’s a catastrophe.

There was no point in Taehyun becoming stronger alone anymore.

Taehyun looked around.

Because all the buildings are gone.

It wasn’t difficult to find the unconscious saint.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no risk to life as the defense was successful before Apocalypse was completely destroyed.

slam.

Taehyun slapped the unconscious woman on the cheek.

slam. slam. slam.

“Ugh…”

There was a reaction.

yet again.

slam!

The saint quickly opened her eyes.

“Uh… ah… Taehyun…?”

The tingling sensation in your cheeks lasts only for a moment.

The saintess recognized Taehyun looking down at her.

and.

“What about the crab gate?!!”

She got up with a gasp and looked around.

I belatedly remembered the tsunami that was like Mount Tai.

“There was no such thing as a gate.”

Taehyun calmly calmed her down.

“Then…”

“The monster came out.”

“…!!”

“I caught it a little while ago. “That’s it.”

Taehyun spoke calmly as if he was confirming an order.

Contrary to what he said, Taehyun’s clothes were a mess.

I couldn’t even imagine what kind of blood clot there was.

“….”

A deep sense of helplessness and defeat appeared.

It felt similar to how I felt in Tokyo not long ago.

‘Did I… faint again?’

It was disarmed from the time it was swept away by the Demon Sea.

If Taehyun hadn’t protected him, if ultra-fast regeneration hadn’t activated.

‘He would have died just like that.’

She was once revered and called a miracle saint.

It’s not that his strength has weakened.

It’s just that his own growth was not proportional to the monster’s growth.

“The business is over. “Let’s go back.”

“Yes…”

Seeing Taehyun treating her indifferently, the saint realized once again.

Japan must do whatever it takes to win favor with Kim Tae-hyun.

It was also a representative idea.

Excited.

It was also a personal wish.

It was a moment when Association President Jun Shinkai’s thoughts and the saint’s thoughts coincided.

After a while.

Taehyun, who recovered his magic power, used the ‘Gate’s Death’ skill.

Unlike when I came into Fukuoka.

The two people crossed the gate safely.

* * *

The world was shaken by what happened in Fukuoka.

The world’s first SSS grade gate break.

As if that wasn’t enough, the first Abyssification took place.

Numerous countries expressed their deepest condolences to Japan but were also on high alert.

‘If we don’t prepare, something like that could happen.’

‘It is no longer the time for quarrels between nations.’

That thought came to the surface.

Meanwhile, Taehyun’s status, who single-handedly solved the gate break, has risen higher than ever.

Unlike Cody Cruz, who follows the orders of the state and the orders of Association President Kevin Lee.

Kim Tae-hyun is creating a synergy effect by building a close alliance with Association President Ji Jin-hee.

The catastrophic incident that Taehyun prevented caused a surge of opinion around the world that he should be revered as the first SSS level player.

Is that all?

Although it was buried by Taehyun’s performance.

New Korea’s ability to prevent Har-Sultan’s attack was also belatedly receiving attention.

Behind them are Ji Jin-hee, Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyeok, and Kwak Si-yang, who had just announced that they had become S-class top players.

In addition to the four people, Yoo Ah-young and Lim A-young emerged as the main characters who prevented Harsultan’s attack.

You have to row when the water comes in.

The World Players’ Association wanted to show that its position was still strong.

Soon after, a player from the World Players’ Association was dispatched and a simple test was conducted.

All six subjects were issued SS-level player licenses.

Although it was a new Korea that was strengthening its internal stability.

The world situation was not like that.

China’s verbal abuse to keep New Korea in check continued, and US sanctions to keep China in check clashed.

China criticized the United States for not supporting its allies, and the United States suspected China of being behind the gray disease and the terrorism caused by the demons.

Their confrontation was becoming one in which the side that created a vaccine for the gray disease first would save face.

The United States emphasized that it has the world’s best scientific and technological capabilities and announced that it would accelerate vaccine development.

China emphasized that it is at the forefront of vaccine development by offering an exclusive contract for palliatives produced by Taishan Pharmaceutical.

The expected vaccine development time is half a year.

The prevailing opinion was that China’s palliative measures would dominate the world for at least half a year.

at that time.

New Korea announced that a vaccine for gray disease has been developed.

The development site is Alchemist, which is growing into a global guild.

Guild leader Seo Sang-ik prepared an official press conference.

* * *

The press conference was held at the headquarters of the New Korea Players Association.

“The gray disease was created by Venom, and now various variants have been created.”

Seo Sang-ik calmly answered questions from foreign reporters.

“Has the effect been proven?”

“More than 100 people have already been treated.”

“What do you think about Gray Disease not being effective on demons?”

“I would like to mention a rumor that is going around in the world. They probably experimented with demonization. That, too, has already been verified in the process of developing a vaccine.”

Seo Sang-ik’s answer was met with a barrage of questions related to China.

They are also aware of the current confrontation between the United States and China.

Seo Sang-ik looked embarrassed for a moment.

“The demonization experiment strengthens not only the demon but also the player’s magical power. “Just because it’s weakened doesn’t mean it’s completely free of risk.”

He clearly stated his beliefs.

“Currently, New Korea has created a vaccine of a higher level than that, and there is no risk.”

“Player Kim Tae-hyun was of great help. “If it weren’t for him, I would never have succeeded.”

“The vaccine will be supplied at a reasonable price. “It should be supplied to the players on the front line first.”

Seo Sang-ik spoke firmly in response to continued questions.

Immediately after the press conference.

The world’s attention was focused on China, which had suddenly strengthened its military power.

And Taesan Pharmaceutical’s stock price plummeted.

* * *

The situation has changed drastically.

A vaccine for gray disease has been distributed, and the World Players Association has announced that it will begin a full-scale mine hunt.

Before a large hunting team was formed.

A world conference for vaccine supply and demon hunting has been confirmed.

The location is Seoul, the capital of the new Korea.

The world’s greatest power began to gather in New Korea.

* * *

That time.

A special training room set up at the Night Walker headquarters.

There were two men and a woman there.

It was Taehyun and Yoo Ah-young.

Tiring.

[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]

Kugugugung.

Crack. Quad deuk.

An irresistible gravity weighed down Yoo Ah-young.

Nevertheless.

“Huh~ It hurts~”

Yoo Ah-young, whose eyes were red, let out a nasal cry.

“Wake.”

Taehyun spoke bluntly and without any respect.

“I’ve already come to my senses~”

With a bang. slam. slam.

Three tentacles grew behind Yoo Ah-young’s back and hit the floor.

More controlled horsepower than before.

It was Rosaria’s purple magic power.

“This is it.”

Yoo Ah-young’s tentacles reached out to tighten Taehyeon’s waist.

Tiring.

[Skill Dark Apostle (SS) has been activated. Specifies the shape.]

Tsutsutsutsu.

A black dagger was created in Taehyun’s hand.

Suddenly. Suddenly.

The two tentacles that were flying were cut off.

The remaining tentacle cleverly turned back and succeeded in wrapping around Taehyun’s body.

“I’ll break it and make it cute.”

licking.

Yoo Ah-young said with crazy eyes.

[Skill Dark Apostle (SS) has been activated. Specify the location.]

Ssssssut.

Taehyun, who peeled off the tentacles, quickly caught up with Ayoung.

and.

[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]

“Come to your senses, Yoo Ah-young.”

The two people’s eyes met.
