Part 2 Episode 14
When you open your eyes, what you see is a vast space.
Filling that space were countless grains of sand.
The world of imagery.
A space that exists for all living creatures and where no one exists except the owner of the body.
It is a place I have never looked into since it became a constellation.
In a place like that.
Another Taehyun with red eyes was waiting.
[What a ridiculous guy.]
“It’s been a while. “Doppel.”
Taehyun greeted the man looking down at him.
Doppelganger.
The source of predation that the Demon King implanted in Taehyeon.
He was the one who put Taehyun in numerous crises, and he was also a lifesaver who saved Taehyun from numerous crises.
And now.
It was Taehyun’s first time encountering the person who disappeared in the race war.
‘As expected, you have come back to life too.’
In the past, whenever we met, we were busy bickering because they were trying to kill us.
“ha ha ha.”
Laughter escaped me without even realizing it.
The laughter that suddenly started leaking continued for a long time.
[….]
Surprisingly, the doppelganger just stared at Taehyun until he stopped laughing and did not make any movement.
“I never thought the day would come when I would be happy to see your face.”
Taehyun stood up, wiping the moisture from his eyes.
The reason you can laugh even when you see your doppelgänger is probably because the constellation war that took place outside was not easy.
‘Where should I start explaining this?’
The doppelganger itself has power equivalent to that of the King of the Underworld or the King of the Upper World.
If he were not subordinate to Taehyun’s body, he would have the power to become a unified king right away.
It would be reassuring to have a doppelganger to help while the constellation’s avatar is threatening his life.
‘This guy won’t be able to help you easily.’
This happened in a situation where it was difficult to be certain that a doppelganger was alive in the world of images.
‘Should we check to see if the conversation is working first?’
In any case, since we have confirmed that he is alive, we will have to make a deal to borrow as much strength as possible.
The thought didn’t last long.
‘Use the flesh as bait.’
The doppelganger had wanted to get Taehyun’s body for a long time.
So he wanted to challenge the demon king who abandoned him.
That would have actually happened if he hadn’t become friends with Michael.
In addition, I thought of additional suggestions that doppelgängers might find interesting.
‘After all, there is nothing bigger than the body. But this guy. ‘Why are you just staring at me?’
Originally, there should have been several attacks by now, but strangely, no action has been taken yet.
just.
[Pathetic bastard.]
He said something unfamiliar for a first greeting.
[I made him a winner at best. Are you that slut again?]
Taehyun’s face stiffened at the unexpected words.
“You… remember…”
[A predator of the three thousand worlds.]
“…!!”
[You got a pretty good nickname.]
The corner of the doppelganger’s mouth when he saw Taehyun’s embarrassed look.
Smirk.
It was rolled up in a mean manner.
* * *
The first emotion that came to mind was embarrassment.
I’m perplexed as to how he has memories of being outside.
The next feeling that came was relief.
The weak side that I have endured and suppressed all along tells me that I am not alone in remembering everything in this twisted timeline.
‘I’m so depressed and my emotional control is messed up.’
Taehyun tried to calm his boiling emotions.
He faced red eyes that seemed to misunderstand him.
Only then was I able to grasp reality.
“You didn’t return together, you were reading my memories.”
The doppelganger’s red eyes were bent.
[You’re not a complete idiot.]
Exactly.
When the doppelganger snapped his fingers, a huge tree began to grow in the desert-like space.
Divine tree.
The source of divine power and magical power.
The form was clearly a divine beast, but its felt presence was insignificant.
Just right. Just right. Just right.
The doppelganger additionally snapped his fingers.
A dragon race rare. Fallen angel’s sky castle. The Giants’ Labyrinth. Temple of the Vampires. The shout of a succubus. The field of the demonic beast tribe. The Demon World of the Demon Race. The Demon Sea of the Sea Currents.
The realm of past princes in Taehyeon’s memories.
The power symbolizing the power of the great dukes was embodied in the magical power of the doppelganger.
Likewise, the felt presence was insignificant.
and.
Ugh.
A maw appeared in the sky and swallowed up the symbols of the nine princes.
Quad deuk. Crack. Quad deuk.
Agari, who had become much weaker than Taehyun remembered, made fun of him without hesitation.
[All of these were my powers.]
The corner of the doppelganger’s mouth twitched.
A pair of red eyes filled with greed were facing Taehyun.
[This body was destroyed for people like you.]
I can’t believe it.
The sound was so quiet that I couldn’t hear it.
“Have you gone through all your memories?”
Ssssss.
Dark red magical energy bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
The magic power eventually took the shape of a small maw.
They succeeded in using Predation, which had been sealed from the outside, again.
Although it was miserable compared to the original level, this alone was a remarkable achievement.
‘Has the seal weakened? No, it is highly likely to be a temporary phenomenon.’
To clearly determine causality, the cooperation of the doppelganger is essential.
[okay. The constellations outside… they are really interesting guys. They are all monsters.]
Contrary to what he said, the doppelganger did not seem to be in a good mood.
Taehyun soon found out why.
[He was the only one who ended the tribal war. Is it just a low-level constellation?]
“…”
[I can’t believe I’m going out and begging like I’m showing off, and then I end up like this. It’s not even funny.]
If it were me, it would have been different.
He asserted that he would have reached the top by eating the others.
‘The guy who was destroyed in the tribal war has no pride… oops…’
In the world of imagination, the gap between Taehyun and his doppelganger is clear.
Taehyun’s memories will probably continue to be read until he regains his strength.
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders while receiving a murderous gaze.
“so. “I’d like to borrow some strength.”
Even my thoughts were already being read, so I had nothing to hide.
[Do you want to protect yourself from constellation avatars?]
“Yes. “At this rate, we won’t be able to get anywhere near the archdukes.”
The reason Taehyun returned was to find a way to win the war of constellations.
Originally, he would have found a clue to returning to normal and raising his status as a constellation, but the priority is to lift the seal and regain the minimum necessary power.
Release of predation and awakening to the King of the Underworld.
It was Taehyun’s top priority.
‘If only I could get Dople’s support, it would be possible quickly.’
[How shameless. Are you saying that even after seeing this?]
The doppelganger clicked his tongue and spread out his hands.
The magic power blooming in my body is gradually decreasing.
‘At best, S grade? ‘This guy is only capable of that much?’
From the first time we met, he was far beyond the level of mortals.
In the world of imagery, this is a guy who wields magic power that is equivalent to that of the Great Sea.
“Could it be that you too… were taken down?”
Ssssss. Sssss.
Two thrones were created behind Taehyun and his doppelganger.
[It’s obvious what you’re thinking. Let’s listen to it.]
“….”
Shake it off.
The doppelganger sitting down pointed to the chair behind Taehyun.
[Sit down. Part of me wants to eat you up right now. If that happens, this body will also disappear.]
The doppelganger made a cool-headed decision.
‘You’re thinking of talking… has this guy grown up?’
dump.
Taehyun sat down in the chair assigned to him.
“I will guarantee you an independent body, so please help me. In any case, once the power of the constellation is recovered, it is not a problem to separate it into the Transcendent.”
It’s not a lie.
In the past, it was impossible because its existence disappeared, but in this episode, I was planning to keep my promise somehow.
[You didn’t forget my existence the other day.]
They caught Michael, who could be said to be the biggest variable, but they said they didn’t receive any compensation.
He said that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to become the owner of Taehyun’s body in place of Taehyeon, who had just fallen.
Of course it’s a lie.
“How can you bring back something that has disappeared? “That’s why you came here.”
[Not with bare mouth.]
The doppelganger smiled wickedly.
“Is this what happens between us?”
[Predator of the Three Thousand Worlds. Who would suit that name?]
Magical power rises from the throne where the doppelganger sits.
[Could it be you who borrows the power of this body? Or not.]
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A chain binds the throne Taehyun sits on.
[Is this the body that ate the fallen constellation?]
Belatedly, the spirit soared in the doppelganger’s body.
[Take a look. A child chosen by a yoma.]
“Is this what happens in the end?”
Magical power bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
The chains that bound the throne shake.
Perhaps because it is an image world, the strength of magical power is different from outside.
[okay. Struggle is the meaning of our existence.]
Exactly.
The doppelganger snapped his fingers as if he was satisfied.
Ugh. Wow.
Countless maws rose up and surrounded the throne where Taehyun was sitting.
[You can’t believe I’m leaning on Jeong. Isn’t he a sloppy guy who ascended to the Constellation?]
This was the moment the doppelganger muttered that.
“Are you soft too?”
Ugh.
Suddenly, an unidentified maw appeared behind the doppelganger.
[….]
“Did you think I came without any confidence?”
Just as good as the doppelganger’s.
Taehyun’s lips twitched.
“Dream meal.”
The ultimate skill created by the Succubus Queen, the most powerful being in the underworld.
Its power is in no way inferior to that of predation.
The doppelganger quickly scanned his past memories.
“Now, let’s start negotiations again.”
Ssssss.
Taehyun’s eyes turn red.
No matter who comes first.
Crack.
Quad deuk.
Two maws swallowed two thrones.
* * *
‘What the hell is this…’
Bang Chae-soo was losing his composure at the situation unfolding in front of his eyes.
At first, he thought his skills were successful.
It was a mistake.
The magical power that began to leak out of Taehyun’s body became stronger by the minute and eventually reached S rank.
A while ago, at Ji Jin-hee’s request, I looked at the status window of an S-class awakened person.
Even then, we were able to control the runaway.
‘This… isn’t S-class or anything… I’m not at a level where I can do anything about it…’ This
is the moment when Bang Chae-su hurriedly stands up and tries to leave the lab.
Kwasik. Kwasik.
Two of the five rings worn on his hand broke in an instant.
“…!!”
He belatedly checked the maw surrounding him.
‘I can’t believe an S-rank magic tool can’t withstand it…!!’
The ten rings worn on his hands are magic tools that were made at the special request of the Alchemist by the president of the association, Ji Jin-hee.
Five rings have skills to enhance magical power, and the other five rings have S-class barrier skills engraved on them.
however.
Kwasik. Kwasik.
Two barriers were canceled in succession and the ring was broken.
Now all that was left was the barrier, which was starting to become incontinent.
‘Ah… how did this happen….’
Blah blah blah.
Bang Chae-su closed his eyes as he watched the barrier collapse.
at that time.
Kwaang!!
The moment I heard a loud noise and felt like I was floating.
Ji Jin-hee was in front of me.
“This could have resulted in the association’s loss of important personnel.”
Hahaha.
Ji Jin-hee, clad in magic, smiled brightly.
“Ji Ji-hee, president of the association. “What the hell is that kid…”
“I’ll make a way for you, so please step back.”
‘Huh when?’
Before we knew it, Yoo Ah-young had arrived next to Bang Chae-soo.
The green magic leaking from her body exploded wherever it touched.
A retreat was created using the S-rank skill ‘Amazon’s Awesomeness’.
Bang Chae-soo ran towards Go Tae-wook, who was beckoning to him from afar.
Only then did Ji Jin-hee and Yoo Ah-young reveal their full potential.
Tsuzzzzzz.
Ssssss.
“This is fun.”
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Kwasik!!
Ji Jin-hee’s hand blade hit the jaw.
“Iknow, right. “It’s fun.”
Pow!!
Yoo Ah-young’s fist exploded in the mouth.
Nevertheless.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
The ship had some pretty mouths forming in various places.
“It’s S-rank.”
“It’s S-rank.”
Simultaneously with the evaluation of the two people.
Taehyun stood up.
