_ Volume 8 Episode 21
196. The Earth on the verge of destruction ⑴
Taesan closed his eyes and began to organize the situation.
First of all, it’s not fantasy. The texture of the potato he was chewing.
The rough touch of the table with the buttocks attached.
A feeling of wind on your cheek.
And the ominous aura felt from beyond the sky.
All of this can’t be a lie.
This was real, not an illusion or a lie.
But what was real was the question.
Taesan looked at Junggeun. While he was eating, Joong-geun secretly hid from Tae-san’s staring gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“just.”
When Taesan gave a rough answer, Joonggeun’s expression turned bizarre again.
Taesan knew from that reaction. It is not simply reading and reproducing his memories. Joong-geun’s reaction
was completely different from before.
This was really implemented. The world before destruction.
Of course, not really then. Tae-san thought about each method.
‘…is it some kind of implementation?’
By interfering with time itself.
I called up the time at that time and temporarily realized all of them. If so, it was explained.
‘Is the power of God possible up to this point?’
To twist and bring back time itself
. I knew that their power was close to infinite, but it was possible this far. It was very surprising.
However, it seemed that it was not an easy task even for the gods.
There was a sentence saying that when Aphrodia embodies the time of her previous life, her area is greatly reduced.
So far, no gods have shown such a sentence. It meant that it was possible for them to take a fair amount of damage.
Taesan looked at Joonggeun as he put the potatoes in with an awkward expression.
Geum Joong-geun had an easy-going personality.
And he wanted to save people.
But as time passed, he grew tired of seeing too many deaths. His face was full of tiredness.
‘I didn’t expect to see this face again.’
Taesan smiled.
“Nice to meet you.”
“…older brother.”
Joong-geun trembled and put the potato down.
“Did you eat something wrong?”
“I am fine.”
“no. I guess you’re doing something wrong. Didn’t you come here after eating a monster carcass?”
“Noisy. men and horses.”
Taesan pushed Joonggeun away with a worried face.
The face of old Jung-geun I haven’t seen in a long time. It was obviously happy and enjoyable, but Tae-san thought calmly.
‘This isn’t real.’
They were already dead then. Earth is so destroyed.
This is God twisting time and materializing it for a while. It’s just a sculpture.
It wasn’t a bad feeling though.
The ghost hadn’t said anything since a certain moment.
Taesan thought while eating potatoes again
.
There is one reason why God twisted time and called us here.
they are defeated He was wiped out by the monsters, and Taishan couldn’t overcome it against the apostles.
They perished, and that was his despair.
So try to win against that despair this time.
It was an ordeal with such a meaning.
Taesan tightened his hand.
“Hmm… that must be strange
.”
Joong-geun looked at Taesan with a reluctant gaze. Taesan waved his hand.
“It’s okay and it’s been gradually.”
Wow!
Then a commotion was heard from the other side. The commotion grew bigger and bigger without thinking about subsiding.
“Uh… Brother. Did you come here as a hard mode player?”
“okay.”
Taishan immediately got up and left the tent
. Geun belatedly followed while I was watching him blankly.
“older brother. You always complained and left, but today you are quiet? As expected, something went wrong…
“Are you sure?”
Taesan raised his fist. Joong-geun lowered his body slightly.
“No, because it is strange.”
“It’s just a change of heart.”
A man was shouting in the place where the commotion was ringing.
“Do not be ridiculous! Why is this Earth! This
is a hidden camera! Don’t play around!”
“Young friend. Earth is right here. The world has changed a lot while you were in the labyrinth…
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
The man made a rough fist. The middle-aged man who had been soothing the man stepped back with a groan.
“Mr. Taesan. You are here!”
The man who pressed his forehead as if he had a headache was delighted when he saw Taesan.
“I was going to bring you, but you came first! What is it?”
“I mean. Brother, something has changed.”
“Are you sure?”
Joong-geun quickly ran away.
Taesan smiled and walked past them and approached the man who was sprinting.
“Young man. What is your name?”
“…Lee Changchun.”
“okay. Changchun Lee.”
Thinking back, he was a pitiful man. They defeated the monsters on their last return. closed the rift in the sky.
He must have come down the labyrinth diligently, believing that he could rebuild the earth, but what greeted him upon his return was the perishing earth.
“I’m sorry, but this is the Earth that is perishing. That things have changed. If I can’t accept it, I’ll have to accept it after being beaten.”
“…Who are you?”
“Kang Tae-san.”
“Kang Tae-san?”
“That person who always talks a lot about the easy player?”
Taesan nodded. Changchun laughed at Taishan.
“Funny! An easy player to play against a hard player?”
“It used to be like that, but now it’s a little different.”
Now he is not an easy mode player.
Taesan stamped his feet. In an instant, his body disappeared.
Lee Chang-chun’s pupils widened at a speed that even the eyes could not follow.
But he’s also a rotten hardmode
player. Those who risked their lives for training. He moved his sword according to his instincts.
Kaaang!
‘I stopped it…
It was time to believe that. Changchun Lee just flew away. People freaked out and ran away.
Wow!
Changchun Lee collided with half-destroyed buildings and rolled.
People stared blankly at Mount Tai.
Taesan leisurely walked to the place where Lee Changchun had flown.
Changchun Lee stumbled and stood up. When he saw Mount Tai, he howled and swung his sword.
Taesan lightly reached out to subdue him and pinned him to the floor.
“profit! urg!”
Taesan said quietly to Lee Changchun, who struggled.
“It would be like shit. You’ll want to deny it. I came here only imagining a hopeful future, but it suddenly
turned into this.”
There was resentment and anger that had nowhere to go in Lee Chang-chun’s eyes.
Taesan released the hand that held him back.
“But we ended up like this. what can i do I must try to survive again. Just like it used to be.”
“…shit.”
Tears flowed from his eyes.
The people who came belatedly comforted Lei Changchun cautiously.
Taesan turned his back. Joong-geun said calmly.
“older brother. You have definitely changed.”
“Are you talking nonsense again?”
“No, not that. Well, there are parts that are helpless.”
Joong-geun scratched his cheek. Taesan overpowered Lee Changchun with simple movements without any skill.
Taesan is a player who gains the upper hand through skill. Considering that Lee Chang-chun was a hard player that even Jung-geun could not easily defeat, it was impossible.
But that’s not what Joong-geun was talking about.
“I just think something is harmful. Until now, you made everything half-baked and made me listen to you, right? I think this is the first time I’ve just subdued and released it.”
“ah.”
Realizing what Joong-geun was about to say, Tae-san smiled.
In his previous life, he was angry with everyone, although he did not reveal it.
why are you so weak
Why can’t even the easy mode player win?
Why is it that even if you teach me how to acquire a skill, you say it’s difficult and don’t learn it?
Didn’t we perish because of that?
It was full of only those feelings. Right before his death, he harbored resentment towards others.
It overlapped with regret that he had made the wrong choice for choosing Easy Mode, making his emotions sticky.
As a result, he was always nervous
.
Even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn’t control himself. It was because I felt like I would go crazy if I didn’t let go of my feelings.
“Well, I’m relieved of my feelings now.”
“is it so?”
Joong-geun’s expression was relieved.
Seeing that, Tae-san realized that Jung-geun had also been keeping an eye on him. It was something I hadn’t known in my previous life, filled with rage.
‘This is as new as this.’
not bad. also.
Just then, another commotion came from the other side.
“Have you seen another hardmode player?”
“No, that’s Lee Taeyeon.”
Taesan looked at the end. he said.
“I’m sorry, but please hide. I don’t know if I will see it or not.”
” yes?”
“Not you. I was talking to the invisible man.”
Taesan was the only one who entered the house in good condition.
There were all kinds of ornaments and murals. They decorate their houses with pretty decorations, but no one cares about decorations in this crazy world.
If so, it was an insane human being
.
Or someone who wants to hide something.
“I’m here?”
A woman sat in a luxurious red leather chair grumbled. With long black hair, she proudly raised her finger.
“Isn’t that pretty? I brought it from the art museum this time.”
There was a huge portrait at the tip of my finger.
There was not a speck of dust on the portrait, which was four times the size of a human torso
.
It meant returning here with that portrait and pampering it in a world overflowing with all sorts of monsters who might not see tomorrow.
Taesan nodded.
“Not bad.”
Lee Taeyeon’s face was confused. she asked timidly.
“…is something wrong?”
“No, I just said it wasn’t bad.”
“Um… is that so?”
Lee Tae-yeon buried herself in the chair with an embarrassed face.
Taesan looked at her.
It wasn’t Lee Tae-yeon who was clumsy and always screamed, but she was a woman who had matured with the flow of time.
She was lazily burying herself in a chair.
But her face was full of nervousness. His eyes rolled around as if he was frightened of something. I had never known
such a reaction from her in my previous life
. It was because Taesan was also at its limits.
But now I knew.
she was terrified
She turned around with a puzzled face.
“You said you scolded a hard mode player?”
“okay.”
“It’s amazing. Easy Mode Players a. Hard mode players…
She gave her a strange look before opening her mouth.
“Status window.”
[Lee Tae-yeon]
[Level: 258]
[Health: 45810/45810]
[Mana: 7020/7020]
[Strength: 10152] [
Intelligence: 9899]
[Agility: 13254]
[Attack +5421]
[Defense +8456]
[Target is in a frightened state.]
It was a high number. It was a stat enough to make an ordinary hard mode player die in one hit.
However, I could see the present Mount Tai. That the number is not that high.
‘As expected, I missed a lot.’
Taesan’s level is now 91. However, his physical strength has reached around 20,000. All of his stats reached 4000.
Considering that
more was gained from the depths, it meant that Lee Tae-yeon had missed everything and came down.
But even so, he had a similar strength to his previous life.
“Show me the status window too.”
“no.”
Taesan refused.
Lee Tae-yeon frowned as if she hadn’t expected him to refuse.
“why? It doesn’t wear out either. Show me some.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Right now, he doesn’t have the stats of Easy Mode. If you show it, there will be quite a bit of confusion.
Lee Taeyeon, who was still looking at Taesan, frowned.
“Something is wrong with you. Show me the status window.”
Level up with skill
