Episode 467
[Anubis is quite good too.]
Jormungand muttered as he watched the battle of the beings contained in the Odd Eye.
Anubis, the absolute ruler of the 10 heavens.
I realized right away that he was ranked mid-level among the dozen absolute beings in the 10 Heavenly Realms.
The three forces that make up the 10 heavenly realms.
Sun God (太陽God) d.
Osiris, the sky god.
Stone Giant God Obelisk.
Among them, we also know that he supported the forces of Osiris and is currently traveling between the 7 Heavens and the Underworld following the orders of the master of the 10 Heavens.
[It’s really wicked.]
Pajjik. Pajik.
At that moment, I saw Anubis’ mask flying away from the thunderbolt emitted from the dragon slayer sword.
Jormungand chuckled and watched.
The guy who pretended to be good betrayed his own people for his own ambitions, and now he is showing shame to the beings of the underworld who looked down on him.
No, Kim Tae-hyun’s origins lie in the human species, so the shame would be nothing compared to being hit by the Grand Duke.
Even so.
[It’s holding up a lot better than I thought.]
There’s already one Grand Duke.
Kim Tae-hyun can take on more than one archduke if the conditions are met.
He was confident that he was the one who most clearly understood its power.
We achieved a draw against the Archduke who was assimilated with the Demon Sea.
It wouldn’t be at a level that an absolute being who wasn’t even a celestial master could handle.
Anubis quickly regenerated the wound suffered by Taehyun and was striking and throwing his light spear, creating a plausible attack and defense.
[Is the moon’s eye being digested? Coincidentally.]
Even if he uses the runes to use a power similar to that of the upper world, if he understands the power difference, the game is already decided.
Kwasik.
The dragon slayer sword that shattered the Spear of Radiance cut deeply into Anubis’ chest.
Pow.
The magic power of the lightning flowed in and the body of the Absolute exploded.
thud.
Anubis got down on one knee.
Taehyun did not attack again and just watched.
spare.
Or arrogance.
It shows the same behavior as a prince of the lower world or an absolute ruler of the upper world.
Kill, kill, kill.
Seeing that, Jormungand burst into laughter again.
He told himself and the other Grand Dukes not to let down their guard.
That’s because I don’t mind doing that.
I know of a being that looked similar to him a long time ago.
King of the underworld.
A human who defeated all the great princes and rose to the top of the Underworld.
They colluded with the King of Sanggye and trapped themselves in an infinite cycle of reincarnation.
Godslayer.
Taehyun’s appearance now was similar to how he appeared in the beginning.
A being that has inherited the king’s abilities.
In the end, he too will not be able to avoid a future in which he loses his species nature.
[Hmm.]
Anubis, who finished playing and attacked again, was gradually being pushed back.
On the other hand, Taehyun is not using his full strength.
The habit of testing one’s strength against the strong arose.
[Try to bring out a little more of Kim Tae-hyun’s power.]
He coveted the ‘Eye of the Moon’ and ended up saying that he could only do so much.
Attack and defense.
He clicked his tongue as he looked at the Absolute One who had no upper hand anywhere.
The eye of the moon is also coveted in Jormungand.
If he could, he would have taken it himself.
[I feel sick to my stomach.]
It was a pity that I had to give up the eye of the moon right now.
The blue eye, which has special power, greatly increases one’s spiritual power and presence just by possessing it.
Numerous monsters from the underworld.
Among them, only Jormungand and Lucifer have obtained the Blue Eye.
If even that were limited to monsters born, Jormungand was the only one.
Jormungand is currently maintaining the balance of magical and divine power, and Lucifer is also the same.
If you were greedy and increased your spiritual power more than this, you would become the King of Lower World and the King of Upper World.
[I’ll have to deal with all the damn Godslayer’s magic.]
Jormungand grunted, remembering his situation.
Humans are different.
They were the same species as the King of the Lower World and were the only beings in the Upper and Lower Worlds who could accept both the red eye and the blue eye.
Of course, this is assuming that a vessel capable of accepting that power is prepared.
This was information discovered through many years of experimentation with humans, monsters, and Elyos.
The best way is to create a contractor who shares his existence power.
Sharing existence is like a double-edged sword for the Archduke.
What if you give your power of existence to a weak being like a human and then get captured by another Duke?
At that time, it will become a dagger stabbing at my weak point.
Jormungand was careful in choosing his contractors.
Of course, it matches well with my magic power.
I wanted a body capable of experimenting with divine power.
Zhang Linfeng inherited the power of ‘absorption’.
Min Ji-hong inherited the power of ‘Ganghwa’.
Cody Cruz inherited the power of ‘regeneration’.
Kasim Zort inherited the power of ‘poison’.
Asisat Ebi inherited the power of ‘Paegi’.
Kim Tae-hyun inherited the power of ‘mental control’.
The optimal body for each person to use the power of the Great Duke.
Verified test subjects.
Among them, Cody Cruz was the most attractive target.
Being assimilated with the magical power of Lucifer, who was from the Elyos clan, means that one can also handle divine power.
Around that time, Kim Tae-hyun’s movements became noticeable.
Rosaria is considered the weakest of the great dukes.
It was interesting to see that a subject with her powers saved her life several times, not only from archduke contractors but also from archdukes.
It is not easy to steal a contract that has been occupied by another Duke.
So, he went to the trouble of going to Earth and met Taehyeon.
And then I realized.
The source of his power.
That’s not Rosaria’s ‘mental control’.
[The power of the Underworld King.]
‘Predation’.
That it is based on that vicious power.
There were no longer any other contractors in sight.
All plans to capture Cody Cruz were canceled.
I concentrated all my efforts on making Taehyun my contractor.
And so we have come to now.
Giggling.
Jormungand, who was briefly thinking about the past, burst into laughter.
As a result, Taehyun became his own contractor.
To be exact, he became a contractor for all the other archdukes.
He is now hunting the Absolute in his own domain.
That alone was encouraging enough.
[Eyes of the Moon. If you are you, you can even handle that power.]
Then, your clear eyes will also be strengthened with the rights of a contractor.
You can steadily strengthen your spiritual power without having to take the eye of the moon directly.
This was the reason why he hunted the two Absolutes in his territory, even at the risk of risk.
That’s it.
[Hoo.]
Anubis, who was beginning to be pushed back, unleashed his divine power.
The ship was of a reasonable size as expected.
[Is it possible to bring out the power of Horus, the Anubis guy?]
In Jormungandr’s eyes, a blue eye was seen that was blooming with eerie divine power.
Originally, it would take a considerable amount of time to digest that power.
I was forced to awaken to a situation where I was constantly being pushed.
The power of existence contained in incomplete awakening or ‘Moon Eyes’ is not light.
The eyes of the moon began to quickly melt due to the presence of the Absolute Anubis.
Anubis’ body, which had been broken and busy regenerating against the dragon slayer sword, began to push Taehyeon more and more.
Suddenly.
Taehyun’s dragon slayer sword, which increased its momentum even more, cut off Anubis’ arm along with the light spear.
[Like that. Poor Anubis. You’re being treated like a toy.]
Taehyun is only revealing his power little by little in line with Anubis’s growth.
I didn’t like my contractor’s laxity, so I clicked my tongue.
Suddenly, a strange smile spread across Jormungand’s lips.
He checked his condition.
My body had not fully recovered from the previous battle.
Originally, it would be difficult to use even 30% of the power.
[This is my territory.]
Drawing magical power through the Demon Sea is not a problem.
Kill, kill, kill.
[It’s not because there is another meaning.]
Jormungand muttered and his red eyes blinked.
Just that.
Quaaaaa!!
Blue magic bloomed from Anubis’ body as he faced Taehyun.
I blinked my blue eyes.
The magical energy rising from the body of the Absolute was converted into divine power.
Controlling not only magical power but also the surge of divine power.
It was one of Jormungand’s many talents.
I suddenly surpassed my limits.
Anubis, who seemed embarrassed, soon began to push Taehyun.
Kyaang!!!
Watching the dragon slayer sword fly away, unable to overcome its momentum.
Smirk.
Jormungand once again strengthened his divine power.
* * *
‘The Jormungand guy. ‘It’s useless.’
Kyaang!!!
Taehyun thought so while dodging the light spear that struck his face.
The divine power of the Absolute, which had been gradually increasing by absorbing the ‘Eye of the Moon’, was running out of control.
‘He can even cause the divine power of the Absolute to run wild… I guess that means he can’t control the power.’
Even if you are defenseless due to battle.
Forcing the Absolute of the upper world to go berserk?
It was a level of proficiency that Taehyun had not yet reached.
I looked at Anubis, who was materializing dozens of light spears in the distance.
‘This is enough.’
From Horus to Anubis.
We have now figured out roughly how much power the so-called absolute rulers of the upper world have.
Now was the moment to reveal the designed stage to the surface.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (???) has been activated.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Darkness fell over the area.
[Don’t look at me funny!!]
Hwaaaaa.
The spears embodied by Anubis radiated brilliance.
A huge radiance began to resist the darkness of the apocalypse and remove the blackout curtain.
Ssssss.
Anubis, engulfed in brilliance, disappeared for a moment.
Kwasik!!
The spear of brilliance held in his hand pierced Taehyeon’s back.
Kwasik!! Kwasik!! Kwasik!!
As if it were a divine punishment.
Anubis stabbed three more spears.
[bloke!! Does the Absolute seem ridiculous?]
He says he is different from Horus and others.
He shouted that he would not let him live the next time he met him.
You know it.
Taehyun will not die from an attack like this.
Now I need to get out of the way before the runaway power disappears.
He poured his divine power into the five spears he had inserted.
To interfere with playback and tracking.
This is to cause a backflow by colliding magical power with divine power.
Rattling.
Taehyun’s body shook like an aspen tree due to the countercurrent of enormous power.
[Jormungand. Next time, I won’t leave you alone.]
Anubis took a quick step back.
He took out Odin’s rune from his pocket.
By injecting divine power there, you will be able to move to the sacred water connected to the 10 heavenly realms.
at that time.
Suddenly.
[…!!]
Anubis looked surprised at the identity of the person holding his hand.
Far away.
I saw Taehyun stuck in the window and writhing on the floor.
[Then this is…]
“Did you enjoy your dream?”
In Taehyun’s words.
Damn. Damn it.
A crack appeared in the darkness, and the vision of the Absolute was reversed.
[I see.]
Pugh.
Anubis checked the dragon slayer sword piercing his abdomen.
A bitter smile appeared behind the completely collapsed mask.
[I am defeated.]
“Yes.”
Blah blah blah.
With the release of ‘Apocalypse’, Taehyun was seen emitting purple magical energy.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (???) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
“It was a reasonable resistance.”
* * *
[As expected, he is my contractor.]
“It was a useless thing.”
Taehyun shook his head as he looked at Jormungand approaching.
I am criticizing him for causing Anubis to go berserk with his power.
[Is this just to help you?]
“Stop talking like a snake.”
While saying that, Taehyun threw the rune that Anubis was holding.
“The stage is set.”
[With this, the Absolutes will target Lucifer.]
Looking at Anubis, who is motionless due to ‘Ataraxia’.
Smirk.
Sigh.
Taehyun and Jormungand smiled bitterly.
