Episode 488
The power of existence is not limited to simply being born with it.
Karma accumulated over a long period of time.
Especially in the underworld, where the principle of the law of the fittest prevails, rather than a civilized society, karma comes from dominating and defeating someone.
The karma accumulated by trampling on smaller beings and pulling down stronger beings brings about an unparalleled increase in the power of existence for the monsters of the underworld.
In that case, it is recommended to covet the power of the Grand Duke who reigns over the underworld.
How much growth did Gilper achieve by coveting the power of Mammon, who had reached the status of Demon King Beelzebub?
What if you covet the power of Lucifer, who is said to be the strongest among the Archdukes and possesses both magic and divine power beyond that of the Archduke or the Absolute?
Summer, of course.
You will gain the power to have a big impact in future racial wars.
‘It’s appetizing.’
Maybe it will be possible to end the race war without needing the help of the Underworld King.
As existence increases, power increases exponentially, not arithmetically.
[Kim Tae-hyun. It wouldn’t be a bad offer for you either.]
Noname’s eyes, which had turned red, were curved like a crescent moon.
This is because I know very well what the current proposal means to Taehyun.
[You don’t think you can truly put an arrogant guy under your feet, do you?]
[Kim Tae-hyun. Don’t listen to nonsense…]
Taehyun raised his hand to stop Lucifer.
It clearly revealed the intention to listen to Noname’s words more.
[….]
[As expected. Unlike the arrogant upper world, the middle world people can communicate quite well.]
Taehyun seems willing to listen to what he says.
Noname’s voice became softer.
“No name. “I don’t fully trust you yet.”
so.
“Just business. Simply.”
I will listen and judge.
He made it clear that he was in control.
[A human being who negotiates with God… yes, you were that kind of person.]
No Name stated more specific conditions.
The request was clear.
Just watch quietly while you subdue Lucifer.
Then, everything Lucifer achieved will become Taehyun’s.
He said there would be no side effects, so there was no need to worry.
It is a suggestion that will not harm Taehyun at all.
On the contrary, it was so beneficial that I was suspicious.
‘I don’t even have the heart to doubt this.’
I want to have Taehyun on my side.
Because he was blatantly showing such signs.
[The answer is simple. Cut this guy down with that sword.]
Then he declared that he would take care of the rest.
Taehyun looked at Lucifer, who was glaring with blazing red eyes, and Noname, who was smiling with Cody Cruz’s face.
Friend and enemy.
Contractor and God Piece.
You must make the optimal choice in an ever-changing relationship.
‘No name. This guy is unpredictable.’
It’s just called a sculpture.
It is suppressed by the power of regeneration and cannot exert its proper power.
They are unilaterally pushing Lucifer, the greatest power in the summer.
It’s friendly now, but what if the guy who regains his full strength points a knife at Taehyun too?
‘I can’t stop it alone.’
Complete the turf war.
From the standpoint of having to confirm the life or death of the Underworld King before starting a tribal war, Noname’s existence was likely to act as a sudden variable.
Taehyun saw Lucifer revealing his hideous murderous side.
‘Tsk tsk. With those eyes full of distrust.’
It can be said to be a variable, but as long as it maintains its existence, it will be possible to control it to some extent by asserting the contractor’s rights.
Controllable monsters and unpredictable monsters.
A choice of either/or.
Taehyun did not hesitate.
‘Is this how it was done?’
Tiring.
[Controls the skill Dream Demon King’s Eyes (???). Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Controls the skill Eye of the Absolute (???). The consumption of spiritual power is accelerated.]
1 million magical powers recovered with Lucifer’s help.
It was divided into 500,000 magical power and divine power.
The blood sword was imbued with a power defined as divine magic.
Although it is still imperfect, it is a power with infinite potential that cannot be dismissed as a catch.
He aimed the blood sword at Lucifer.
[Kim Tae-hyun… barely playing around with this kind of remodeled work…]
“Shut up, Lucifer.”
[Noob…]
This is the moment when Lucifer is about to shout.
Taehyun used the skill lightly.
Tiring.
[Skill Absolute – Horus (???) has been activated.]
[It resonates with the skill Eye of Absolute (???).]
[Additional effect space movement is possible.]
This is an effect that we already know.
Taehyun raised his physical strength even further.
Tiring.
[Skill Absolute – Horus (???) has been strengthened. The consumption of spiritual power is accelerated.]
[It resonates with the strengthened skill Eye of the Absolute (???).]
[The ability of additional effect space movement is strengthened.]
[The target’s location can be moved.]
Ssssss.
Taehyun’s presence faintly dispersed along with his eerie divine power.
[Hoo. [Have you already obtained the power of the Absolute?]
Noname gave a small exclamation as he recognized that the eyes in Taehyun’s blue eyes were not ordinary.
“okay. “It was like a trophy.”
[I guess there’s no need to go out on this. A sword of that caliber could inflict a fatal wound on this arrogant guy.]
[A modification…!!]
Haaaaah.
Lucifer’s gray magic and blue fire burned fiercely.
Although they maintain a considerable distance, this distance does not mean much to them.
Also, as Noname said, the magical power and spiritual power blooming from Taehyun’s body was unusual.
If you are hit by that sword in this defenseless state, you will surely lose against Noname.
[Do not move.]
Stand tall.
Absolute command.
With just those words, Lucifer’s body was deprived of freedom.
[Didn’t I tell you that we would be destroyed once again today?]
Noname said the scary words casually.
[Target has been identified.]
[Location has been identified.]
[Movement begins.]
Taehyun checked the floating message and swung his sword towards Lucifer.
at the same time.
Susss-.
sssss-.
The positions of Lucifer and Noname have changed.
[…?]
Even before Noname reacted.
New magic power.
Like Lucifer, the blood sword was maintained with a force close to 600,000.
Suddenly!!
Cody Cruz’s head was decapitated.
* * *
Degurrrr.
Cody Cruz’s severed head rolled on the floor.
Tiring.
[Absorbs the power of a gigantic being.]
[Divine power has increased by 1.]
[Magic power has increased by 1.]
The corner of the mouth rose at the message that came to mind.
‘also. If you do this, the story will be different.’
[What… crazy guy!!]
Lucifer burst out laughing despite his words and lowered his sword towards Noname, who had lost his head.
The power of rebirth is still valid.
Now that he had lost his neck, which was the vital part of his body, was his chance.
Likewise, Taehyun is also trying to cut out Cody Cruz’s heart to ensure a clear ending.
Wow!!!
The Spear of Longinus held by Noname.
There was a brilliance there.
Sigh!!
Wow!!
[…!!]
“…!!”
Lucifer and Taehyun.
The two Grand Dukes looked at Noname as if they could not believe that he had caught his sword with his bare hands.
‘What is this…’
Kwasik!!!
Kwasik!!!
The two swords Noname was holding completely crumbled.
The divine magic power of the two archdukes contained in the sword dispersed and was completely absorbed.
The power was greater than expected.
Hahahahaha.
Noname recreated Cody Cruz’s face with brilliance.
[The power of regeneration has been shaken off.]
Lucifer, who widened the distance and sat down next to me, spoke calmly.
‘That means it’s fucked.’
Noname turned his head once and opened his mouth.
[Kim Tae-hyun. It is true that you are an important piece in the plan, but that does not mean there is no replacement.]
“Don’t they usually give you three chances?”
Noname responded by aiming the Spear of Longinus.
Lucifer looked at Taehyun with pitiful eyes.
[You… come to your senses. This is not a guy who will use the same technique twice.]
“Don’t worry. “I’m the type of person who wins things rather than receiving things for free.”
Taehyun curled the corner of his mouth as he watched Noname lifting Longinus threateningly.
Contrary to words.
‘How do I beat this guy?’
That thought lingered in my head.
* * *
Caen. Kang. Kaang.
Gang. Gang. Kyaang.
Two swords cut away Longinus’ spear.
Grumbling.
Ssssss.
Blue flower, symbolizing the eye of the sun, and eerie divine power, symbolizing the eye of the moon, swirled around Noname.
and.
Wow.
The brilliance that emitted one after another disappeared without any benefit.
“Lucifer. “Do you have any intention of making peace with that guy?”
[Bullshit!!]
Lucifer growled and jumped out again.
‘That’s bullshit.’
The gap was too small to simply dismiss it that way.
It was only when we crossed swords that I realized it.
1.2 million.
Noname has at least that much divine magic power available.
On the other hand, Taehyun and Lucifer pushed their limit to 600,000.
It is natural that only 600,000 new horsepower cannot compete with 1.2 million.
‘We cannot handle it separately.’
The thought didn’t last long.
I called back to the fallen angel who bounced out and started regenerating.
[Are you going to talk nonsense again?!]
“I’m in charge of magical power.”
[….]
“You take charge of the divine power.”
[What kind of bullshit are you talking about again?]
Instead of answering, Taehyun returned all the power he had used with a mediocre divine magic power to magic power.
Thanks to this, ‘Eye of the Absolute’ and the skill Horus were released, and dark red magic bloomed.
Cancel the unfamiliar blood test.
I pulled out the dragon slayer sword that I had stored away during the battle.
“It would be difficult to look down on Meister-made weapons.”
He aimed the dragon slayer sword, which was in a state where it could no longer be called a weapon, at Lucifer.
Tiring.
[‘Great power’ – the will of the ‘fallen angel’ reacts.]
Lucifer’s gray magic power flowed from the dragon slayer sword.
[This is…]
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (???) has been activated.]
Oh my.
The maw of predation bared its teeth.
“Spit it out.”
Taehyun ordered the maw that appeared behind him.
Just for a moment, let the evil maw twitch.
Tsk.
Lucifer’s signature weapon that he could not chew and swallow.
The half-broken ‘arrogance’ vomited out.
‘It’s so thick that a predator can’t chew and swallow it all.’
It is an existence that you will want to spend time coveting.
‘Right now, it is more important to raise immediate power.’
Taehyun threw his arrogance, which was not much different from the dragon slayer sword, at Lucifer.
Wow!!
Lucifer’s presence was further strengthened just by holding the sword.
[indeed… You’re doing something cute.]
“Your words and facial expressions are different.”
There was no need to prepare separately.
Because we made eye contact, we understood what each other wanted.
Grrrr.
1.1 million.
Lucifer’s divine power unleashed with full force.
Ugh.
1.1 million.
The magical power of predation unleashed with all its might took over the entire area.
[I’m pretty used to that guy’s power.]
Just by looking at it, you can tell how much existence power it has consumed.
Even ahead of the predation, No Name did not hide its joyful response.
“Everyone reacted that way at first.”
[A human being who wants to swallow God. Don’t you think it’s blasphemous?]
“A god who takes away a human body. “Don’t you think it’s frivolous?”
Noname quietly burst into laughter at Taehyun’s words.
“Eat it up.”
Noname spread its wings of brilliance as its teeth bared beneath its feet.
The airspace reached with just one flap of the wings.
there.
Grrrrrrr.
Lucifer, with his back to the giant sun, was aiming arrogantly.
[D. It’s a power that the child will be happy to see.]
[Don’t dare judge the remnants.]
The blue-and-white sun falls from above.
Below, the maw of predation soared.
In the midst of great power.
Noname is the entity that hunted him.
I thought of the King of Upper World and the King of Lower World.
