Episode 465:
The lower world where the law of the fittest exists.
Countless monsters exist there.
Everyone here at the round table is the pinnacle of unification of one or more species.
In the case of the Elven and Tolkien, they are still a single entity, but just as mating is not the only method of reproduction.
Depending on the future direction, it would not be strange to have countless clans at any time.
so.
“Overpower Lucifer with just one attack.”
It was no wonder that those representing the underworld’s power remained silent due to the weight of Taehyeon’s words.
[Only one attack.]
The first to speak was Hazard, who had always taken a bystander stance.
[Kim Tae-hyun. I’m Bonryong’s contractor. You’re looking down on Lucifer.]
Kugugugu.
For a moment, let black magic bloom from her body.
The magical power became power and offset Taehyun’s spirit.
I gained the right to speak on my own.
[I was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great dukes despite my shortcomings as a human.]
Kugung!!
An even stronger spirit weighed down the entire area.
The Grand Dukes, who felt the pressure of being doubly defeated, let out curses.
[He also inherited the power of the King of the Underworld and showed incredible growth.]
Tell me more.
Taehyun nodded calmly.
[However, the time you entered the underworld was only a moment.]
“It was only a moment. “I guess it’s not wrong.”
Even if you add life before regression.
Taehyun spent less than 20 years in the Abyss.
For the princes who enjoy a life that feels like eternal life, it is truly just a passing moment.
They live in a different time.
‘The last few years must have felt like a whirlwind.’
[Lucifer is someone who has lived longer than anyone else here.]
In the time before the King of the Underworld appeared, he was one of the masters of the Upper World, and even though he was demoted from their group, he easily achieved the position of Grand Duke, the pinnacle of the Underworld.
Hazard paused for a moment and looked at the archdukes sitting around.
The bickering people sitting at the round table looked just like the heads of their clans.
So I put it into my mouth.
[If we were to limit it to those from the lower world, the main dragon would be the strongest.]
I don’t know because I haven’t really experienced it yet.
Orgal Typhon Igmun expressed his dissatisfaction.
Hazard continued speaking without paying attention.
[If Lucifer had recovered the power of the upper world. Even if all the archdukes rushed in, there would be no hope.]
There was silence.
Even though they are the ones who never lost their arrogance, they used to swear and complain until just before.
This time, no one could easily open their mouths.
You know it.
Hazard, whose strength is recognized by all the great dukes.
That she is not someone who speaks of defeat lightly.
“You have less courage than I thought. “The power of ambition will cry.”
[I just wanted to let you know how reckless it is to subdue this guy with ‘just one attack.’ The main dragon keeps its contract with you until the turf war. The main dragon is also looking at the next race war, but there is no need to belittle Lucifer and increase unnecessary sacrifices.]
Taehyun obediently agreed to Hazard’s words.
‘Fighting a tribal war requires the sacrifice of numerous species.’
So there is no need to go out of your way to hunt those that do not go away even if you prey on them.
Even though they had range skills, that was the dominant reason why they had to compete with a small number of people.
According to the players’ standards, they are low-middle-level and high-level monsters that can compete with each other.
A top-level monster that very few players can deal with.
A high-ranking species that is evaluated in more areas.
The only ones that would be of help in the future battle would be the highest level species.
[The reason the main dragon was defeated by you was because it saw potential. The other guys won’t be any different either.]
Hazard said, looking around at the archdukes.
What makes the ‘Contract of Desire’ have a stronger deterrent is the degree of risk.
The problem is that the existence of the Archduke is not light enough to be permanently restrained.
‘If forced, there is a high possibility that its existence will be damaged.’
Neither Hazard Orgal Igmun Jormungand, who saw the match, knew that fact.
Winning through battle is just a process for making a more certain contract.
“Our alliance even involves turf wars.”
after that.
It was decided to determine the best once again according to the whereabouts of the King of the Underworld.
After confirming the terms of the contract again, Hazard Orgal Igmun Jormungand seemed satisfied.
On the other hand, Rosaria Typhon Elven Gilfer Tolkien reacted indifferently.
This is because, unlike other Grand Dukes, they did not join Taehyeon through a contract of desire.
[I will ask again. Is there any change to what the contractor said a moment ago?]
“Nothing.”
[is it. I understand.]
With those words, Hazard did not ask any more questions.
The spirit that was oppressing me was also taken away.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Taehyun again.
What I meant was that now you should tell me your plan.
“In order to take down Lucifer once and for all, he must not be in a normal state.”
Taehyun and Jormungand’s eyes met for a moment.
“We will use the Elyos of the Upper World.”
以夷制夷 (以夷制夷).
Obvious yet deadly.
I said an oriental proverb.
* * *
[Elyos?]
Igmun responded.
“okay. “I guess we’ll have to bring in at least the Absolute.”
The Grand Dukes countered Taehyeon’s words.
Orgal Igmun’s reaction was especially strong.
[It is shameful to involve the Elyos in the affairs of the underworld.]
It was Orgal who said that.
[joy. For the first time, I agree with you.]
[I don’t need your opinion, Jim.]
[Didn’t I warn you not to mess around with his mouth?]
The two princes growled again.
“You guys better just shut up.”
Orgal and Igmun only grit their teeth at the blatant insult.
It didn’t appear to be an action.
This is because of the terms of the contract: ‘We will cooperate until the turf war is won.’
“Everyone here now was stronger than me at first, but not anymore.”
Taehyun made eye contact with each of the princes who were fighting to the death.
It was Jormungand who answered among the grumbling princes.
[There is a foolish absolute being in the underworld. Ah, now I guess we should say there are two.]
[Jormungand, what are you planning?]
Igmun, who remembered the time when he was a Valkyrie the other day, was about to swear, but swallowed it when he saw Taehyun’s notice.
[I have no obligation to tell you?]
Giggles.
Igmun’s pale face turned red at Jormungand’s mockery.
“Jormungand. “Stop making unnecessary provocations.”
[That was rude.]
You snake-like bastard.
Igmun cursed at Jormungand’s attitude of shrugging his shoulders and keeping his mouth shut, and then looked at Taehyeon again.
‘It’s a no-brainer to deal with these guys.’
Taehyun sighed and decided to end the meeting.
“As Jormungand said, the stage is being prepared.”
Until then, everyone should prepare their own strength.
He ordered that the contract be fulfilled as he would send a signal when the time was right.
* * *
Sky Castle at the deepest level of the Abyss.
Sky Castle, which had been destroyed by Lucifer’s gray magic, was quickly regaining its original appearance.
Restoring a castle the size of Sky Castle is a task that inherently requires the investment of a large number of manpower.
Nevertheless, Lucifer was using his power to quickly accomplish the task.
[The new power suits you well.]
The person who asked that question was Cody Cruz.
The two ‘Moon Eyes’ that Horus possessed.
One of them was stolen.
Eyes are just a symbolic shape.
Lucifer, who was not unaware of this, had just melted the blue eye of the moon’s eye into Cody Cruz’s body.
[He has become closer to an Elyos.]
He burst out laughing as he checked the divine power residing in the body of his contractor.
This is because the image of Horus running away in a hurry after losing one eye came to mind.
It was so funny how they ran away crying for revenge.
I want to chase after him and take out the rest of his eyes.
It was such a pity that I had to endure it to keep a small promise.
However, as I watched Cody Cruise begin to achieve great heights, that regret seemed to disappear.
[The imperfect body will be reconstructed once again. Until then, concentrate on recovery.]
At Lucifer’s command.
“….”
Cody Cruz responded with silence.
* * *
Somewhere in the deepest layer.
Ssssss.
A large figure suddenly appeared where there was nothing.
The deepest part that Horus had figured out in advance.
From there, it moved to the coordinates of a place that could be considered a safe zone.
Throbbing.
I ran my hand over the left side of my face and groaned at the pain I felt.
It was a place where Cody Cruz’s eyes were pulled out.
shit. Damn it. Bastards who will tear you to death.
Cursing words suddenly came out.
There were two losses.
The first is that Cody Cruz’s powers were assimilated with Lucifer.
Second, Odin’s runes given by Anubis were not complete.
The battle, which seemed to be overpowering and could end at any moment, was delayed by the constantly regenerating power, and as the power of the runes disappeared, the Underworld King’s spell bound the body.
When the spell was applied, it became the highest species of the Underworld.
It became nothing more or less than that.
upper and lower world.
Although beings of different classes have to endure a certain amount of penalty in order to cross the border.
In the case of Horus, he made a mistake he should not have made because he was overconfident in his power.
If it weren’t for the moon’s eye’s ability to move through space, he would have been decapitated by now.
[Lucifer… Anubis… you damn traitors… I will kill you…]
Kim Tae-hyun and Cody Cruz.
Anubis and Lucifer.
As Horus rains down curses on them all.
[this. This is ridiculous.]
The Absolute, whose face was still hidden behind the mask, appeared.
[Anubis!!!]
[You escaped well with imperfect divine power.]
Anubis, who was using the complete rune of Odin, quickly grasped Horus’ condition.
[Could it be that one eye was stolen? This is surprising. I thought that with your abilities, throwing yourself out would be enough.]
Anubis muttered as if he couldn’t believe it.
Although it was as expected that they met Horus, who ran away as if he was being chased.
I never thought I would lose one of my eyes to Lucifer.
[You stupid bird-head.]
Anubis expressed his anger at the thought that his loot had diminished.
[How dare you… touch the blood relatives of the heavenly master and still get away with it…]
[Tsk tsk. Blood relatives of the god Horus. So, you are a brat.]
If it were not for Osiris, you would have been trampled and destroyed by other absolute beings long ago.
Anubis declared in a cold tone.
[Is it just… the snow…]
[I can’t say it’s not true either. It’s just a shame that you can’t witness this grand plan.]
Anubis, intoxicated with victory, explained his situation step by step.
Originally, Jormungand would have welcomed Horus here.
Instead, he decided to decide his friend’s death on the condition that he would take care of the aftermath.
[Anyway. moon eye. If given that power, I could use it better than you. I could also help Osiris become the complete master of the heavens.]
[On the topic of insignificant blood relatives… your greed is too much…]
Ugh.
Horus gritted his teeth and breathed death.
[Don’t resist. Doing so will only prolong the pain.]
Quaaaaa.
Tsuzzzzzz.
The deepest layer.
In the realm of Jormungand, two absolutes opened up their divine power.
