Episode 506
Michael.
He is the one who brought down Lucifer, the lord of the first heaven, and created Archduke Lucifer.
A being expected to be the strongest among all 10 heavenly absolutes and masters.
The strongest enemy that I thought I would see only after the tribal war began was right in front of me.
I feel suffocated just by existing.
‘…not good.’
It was downgraded as an aftereffect of the turf war and its power was arbitrarily reduced in order to come to Earth.
Even if the being in front of you just lifts a finger.
‘Die.’
Only a hopeless future was depicted.
I did not use magical power carelessly.
No speculation was revealed.
You must understand the other person’s purpose without revealing your own weakness.
‘It’s still too early to die.’
That thought filled my mind.
[You are careful. This is in conflict with the assessment that he is a madman who only knows about combat.]
“….”
I avoided Michael’s scanning eyes.
In my current state, I feel like my thoughts can be read just by looking at me.
The boasted ‘eyes of the dream king’ and ‘eyes of the absolute’ will not work.
However, the reaction Taehyun was trying to hide came from an unexpected place.
[Ah… ah… why…]
Tolkien.
The Lower World Meister who had crossed the gate together was trembling.
The past days of suffering from the absolutes of the upper world.
A forgotten trauma came to mind.
Tolkien being overpowered is the worst situation for Taehyun.
Sigh.
Taehyun went to stand in front of Tolkien.
I blocked the scanning eyes with my body.
[….]
Michael’s blue eyes focused on Taehyun.
“What is going on in Middle-Earth when he is the master of Heaven?”
[Is there a reason to answer? Or is it a bravado to hide fear?]
“….”
Smirk.
It felt like I was dealing with Lucifer.
No, their appearance was so similar that it could be said that they were twins.
These guys can change their appearance whenever they want.
There must be a reason for maintaining this appearance.
With that thought in mind, I opened my mouth again.
“I thought you weren’t interested in the race war until this side made a move?”
[Is that arrogance something you learned from Lucifer, or is it the confidence you can show because you won the turf war? Or else.]
Do you think that with the key of the Underworld King, you can control the beginning and end of the race war as you wish?
Even though speculation and survival were not mixed, I felt a pressure that I could not resist.
A sense of sacred mission and sanctity was felt in every word.
If Taehyun believed in God, he would have knelt down and sworn to obey.
‘It’s a good thing I’m not religious.’
There was silence while I was thinking these innocent thoughts.
During that brief moment, I tried to figure out a way to get out of this place.
‘Is that guy Zelga dead?’
High Kraken, the highest ranking member of Jormungand.
I secretly explored the unfelt existence of this guy.
The brilliance that made up Michael flickered as if he was aware of that thought.
[If you are the owner of a specific dungeon with coordinates, no harm will be done. To begin with, this is a space called personal space. You and the dwarf have not yet arrived at your destination.]
“…!!”
[If you haven’t noticed, it’s worth it to configure something similar.]
The coordinates of the gate were twisted just before completely crossing over to Middle Earth.
So, he was telling me not to go through any trouble.
[There is nothing to worry about. I didn’t prepare this place with the intention of harming you.]
“…What are you doing?”
We are not naive enough to take the enemy’s word for granted.
Taehyun rotated the magic power in his body.
‘Jelga’s dungeon is not far away. It only takes one apostle of the gate…’
It may be impossible to defeat Michael, but it may be possible to at least take out Tolkien.
[That is not a recommended option. If you try too hard in a depressed state, there’s no way there will be good results.]
Michael answered as if Taehyun’s thoughts were obvious.
“….”
The number of thoughts is being read.
This may be because the number of things that can come to mind is limited when the power is not similar.
[Did you really think that you could hide the downfall by hiding your magic power?]
Michael flicked his finger stained with brilliance.
Spiritual power soared.
Hehehehe.
The quiet space began to tremble.
A level that Taehyun reached only at the end of the turf war.
One million horsepower and one million spiritual powers.
A power comparable to that level was easily brought out with just a flick of a finger.
‘It is a divine power of at least 2 million… or more.’
gulp.
Without even realizing it, dry saliva came over me.
[This is probably the level you reached in the turf war.] A
huge divine power tightened around my body.
Because Tolkien let out a moan that was like a scream, Taehyun had no choice but to open his magic.
Tiring.
[Skill Eyes of the Dream King (E) has been activated.]
[Skill Eyes of the Absolute (E) has been activated.] [
Skill Heart of the Great Devil (E) has been activated.]
[Skill Heart of the Demon Beast (E) has been activated.]
[Skill Fallen Angel’s Heart (E) has been activated.]
[Skill Fairy King’s Heart (E) has been activated.]
I opened my red and blue eyes and rotated five magic stones.
They say it was activated as E grade.
I wasn’t expecting a battle anyway.
The most optimal conditions for activating ‘Apostle of the Gate’ have been prepared.
However.
Ssssss.
The spiritual power that had been swirling like a storm suddenly subsided as if dead.
“…What are we going to do?”
Taehyun asked, placing his hand on Tolkien’s trembling head.
The magic continued.
With this, Taehyun can get Tolkien out of here whenever he wants.
Of course, Tolkien will be the only one moving.
That alone can be considered fortunate as the worst has been avoided.
[You’re trying to overdo it again. Besides, it’s a bad choice. Wouldn’t it be more useful for the next race war to take out your body rather than the dwarf?]
“Lucifer. No, that was Lucifer’s reaction.”
Prince Fallen Angel Lucifer.
Lucifer, former master of the first heaven.
The reason I mentioned him was to touch on Michael’s disgust.
As far as Taehyun knows, the relationship between the two guys can be said to be that of a canine friend…
“…?”
The brilliance shimmered violently.
I didn’t know that this was a phenomenon that occurred when the Elyos of the Upper World laughed.
[Lucifer. There are only a handful of people who can proudly say that guy’s name in front of me. What’s more, that was the purpose of provocation… If other heavenly masters saw it, they would definitely have a similar reaction.]
“….”
[I’ll say it again, Kim Tae-hyun. It’s the key to the Underworld King. I did not come with the intention of harming you.]
It is impossible to observe turf wars, but if you live long enough, you will come to understand various variables.
He spoke something unknown.
Would Taehyun do something stupid for no reason?
Michael poured out unasked words.
[You’re trying to unify the dimensions of Middle-earth and create new princes, right? That dwarf is probably taking the divine tree seed to bloom.]
“Don’t play tricks.”
Magic power was strengthened.
[There is nothing to be wary of. Didn’t I tell you? I was watching the turf war. Actually, I was quite surprised.]
I ignored it and strengthened my spiritual power.
[…I thought the piece of the One God would fall on Lucifer.]
Compared to the time when he was the master of the heavens, he is weak.
It was said that if everything had gone as planned, Lucifer would have absorbed the fragments of the One God and restored his previous power to near perfection.
[I missed you. The face of the guy who interfered with that guy’s plan and took over as the master of the underworld.]
The power of reincarnation, which can be said to be the power of the one god.
He said that he wanted to face the power of the key chosen by the King of the Underworld in person.
The red and blue eyes became darker due to the enhanced magical power and spiritual power.
[Yes, it is natural to be cautious. If we met on the battlefield, it would be difficult to have such a leisurely conversation.]
Taehyun maintained his strengthened eyes, ignoring the message that he lacked magical power and spiritual power.
[On the contrary, now that the pieces of the One God have been devoured, before the heavenly masters themselves move.] It was the right time because Taehyeon was
downgraded and had no choice but to prioritize dialogue.
[It looks like he is having a hard time completely absorbing the power of the piece.]
“You assert it.”
Will I be able to stop its attack even once with my current ‘predation’?
‘No, I have to do it.’
Tolkien is essential to this plan.
We have to somehow get them out alive.
That thought lingered in my head.
[There is no need to brag. I think it’s fortunate that you, and not Lucifer, took the power of the fragment. King of the underworld. Just like he did, you will eventually digest the pieces.]
But.
[I’m afraid time is not on your side.]
300 years.
[It will take that much time in Earth time.]
Taehyun’s face twitched for a moment.
I was embarrassed that it took longer than expected.
[I will help you. So that you can digest the power of the piece more quickly.]
So that the princes can escape from the swamp of despair.
What kind of plan are you planning?
I didn’t say that because I was embarrassed.
The sincerity of a person that cannot be seen in either the red or blue eyes.
You won’t be able to be sure with just a few words.
[Killing you now is easier than killing a bug. Including the trembling dwarf in the back.]
So.
[There is no justification for rejecting this body’s offer in the first place.]
Just listen to what you say.
So he commanded.
[I will speed up the time to digest the fragments of the One God. In addition, I will help ensure that the dimensional integration of Middle-earth is achieved stably.]
Thus.
[I will help you win the tribal war.]
“What…?”
My poker face cracked at the unexpected words.
[In a transaction, if something goes, something comes. What I want in return
is to get rid of the ‘Void Log’.
Taehyun’s poker face completely collapsed.
* * *
It was an unexpected suggestion.
“Removing the Void Log?”
I couldn’t help but ask that question.
[It would be possible for a Fairy King or a Celestial Master who has regained his strength to simply reach the Void Rock. However, what I want is complete extinction.]
“….”
The series of incomprehensible words is ridiculous.
It was only later that I became curious about his suggestion.
[Do you know why the King of the Underworld suddenly disappeared?]
“…!!”
[King of the Underworld That guy is— —-. —–.]
The guy put something into his mouth, but there was noise.
[Does witchcraft apply to this place? He is truly a terrible guy.]
“What do you want to say?”
[To win the tribal war, the power of the underworld alone is not enough. This is especially true now that all the great dukes of the lower world have been destroyed.]
The great dukes of the lower world have been destroyed.
It would be faster for the Underworld King’s spell to be removed than for Taehyun to digest the fragments of the One God and elevate them again.
[The Fairy King, who was assimilated with the Divine Beast, is recovering quickly.]
She said that she alone would not be able to stop the Absolute One and the Master, who had noticed the scent.
[There are all answers at the end of the tribal war.]
So.
[Accept my help.]
While we go to Middle Earth and achieve our goal.
[I will delay the attack of the heavenly masters.]
He made an offer he could not refuse.
