43. Decide on war. ⑴
“I can’t stop you both. “Is there really no taint about SIGNI’s affairs?”
“Signi told me. “The child carrying the burden on his back is also his own child.”
“Your brother and sister are so kind that I fell in love with them.”
“I want my younger siblings to be happy.”
“I only know my younger brother.”
“But is Hyeonmu that strong? Deus-sama’s own power alone would be enough to subdue him…
“That’s not true. “Hyeonmu has changed a bit strangely.”
“Are you strong?”
“huh. whopping.”
“Why did he become so strong alone?”
“Well, to put it simply, I grew up.” Yulgeum looked at Zeke again as he spoke.
It was a strange feeling.
Zeke, who was a kid, became an adult. And it grew significantly.
Moreover, I obtained two Death God Beasts. That alone was enough power to become the loser of this world.
Regardless of my humble attitude, I could not ignore the weight of existence.
Now Zeke is no longer just one of countless warriors.
Zeke, who is different from the Last Hero, has grown enormously in weight as an element.
That may also be God’s will…
but it is completely unfathomable.
“But Yulgeum…
“Huh?”
“You were an incredibly beautiful woman. I guess I was young and didn’t know much. “You are even more beautiful than I remembered.”
“Oh my, Zeke. Have you grown up to be an adult who can say things like that?”
“I just said whatever came to mind.”
“You’ve grown up wonderfully! Compared to that, that guy is a mess. In fact, I may not have grown at all because I was trapped in a virtual space for 10 years.”
“Virtual space?”
“The demon king you killed… To be exact, it is a collection of the souls of the former great demon kings, but
I found a being that can replace that demon soul. “It’s like a shadow left behind by the soul of the first Demon King.”
Yulgeum shrugged his shoulders and spoke again.
“No need to worry. “Well, at least he has regained his former demon lord power.”
“It’s complicated to react. “To say it went well is because humanity is at stake.”
“It will continue to be complicated going forward. “There are less than ten years left until the final war.”
“You are making such a blatant comment.”
“is it?”
“yes.”
“Well… could you be invited to that day, Zeke? I’m not sure. About how humans will treat you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you aren’t invited. I was and am a warrior. “I will continue to be a warrior.”
“Have you met Regin?”
” yes.”
Zeke’s voice was slightly weak.
“I’m hearing bad rumors from all over. There was even
a story that she became the concubine of the queen of the Verde Kingdom.”
“I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear about that.”
“It looks complicated.”
“It’s a bit like that. When the final war ends and an era of peace comes… everything will calm down. “Like muddy water becomes clear.”
“Because you are the fourth generation. “Make sure you survive and be together.”
“yes.”
Zeke laughs.
I felt like Yulgeum’s story had removed a lot of the bitterness from my heart.
Deus stood in front of Hyeonmu again.
Hyeonmu looked at Deus with heavy eyes.
“I didn’t know you’d come back already… but it’s really rash.”
“I didn’t know I would find it so quickly. “Then shall we start the second game right away?”
“You have obtained the power of Suzaku.”
“uh. “I did so many good things in the past that it comes back with interest.”
“The power of Suzaku and the power of White Tiger. good night. “I also wondered how great I had become
.”
“Well, it’s true that he’s quite strong, so don’t ignore him anymore. “Put some pressure on your jaw and you’ll be back in one hit.”
Deus clenched his fists.
The Baekho emblem appeared on the back of his right hand, and the Suzaku emblem appeared on his left hand.
It wasn’t just the power of the two Death Gods.
Blue flames bloomed from Deus’ body. It literally took all the power out.
Hyeonmu closed his eyes.
I puffed out my chest and stretched out my arms
.
I felt the will to accept any force.
Deus was not one to refuse when told to hit him.
His fist got stuck in the middle of Hyeonmu’s chest.
Shock waves shook the sky, and the stepping stones crushed the ground and broke it.
A small earthquake shook the surrounding earth and created cracks.
But Hyeonmu didn’t budge.
I took a breath and controlled my energy.
I still didn’t lift my eyes.
Deus pounded his fists in succession.
It sounded like a big bell was ringing. The echo of the sound reaches quite a distance, and again a dull shock penetrates the place.
Unable to withstand the unpleasant shock, the mugwort monsters scattered in all directions.
“It’s useless. “Your poor fist.”
“I think you’re misunderstanding something… I didn’t run away earlier.”
“haha.”
“My group just dragged it away. Then
give it a try. Let’s see how long you can endure.” Deus thrust both fists alternately.
The power contained in each blow was beyond imagination.
It was a fist filled with the power of the white tiger and the power of the Suzaku.
In the past, the Shinigami Beast was stronger than Deus before he acquired the Demon Soul.
The endless energy pounded Hyeonmu’s body like a kite.
Even if it is the strongest bone in the world, cracks are bound to occur.
Nevertheless, Hyeonmu did not move.
I let it go by quietly, took a breath, and accepted the power.
It was literally like a big sea.
Deus’ heart wavered again.
‘Has this guy really become a god?’
Even he couldn’t withstand this massive Yeon Hwan attack.
Although I was confident that I could escape within 10 shots.
In the face of such a powerful attack, Hyeonmu was so calm.
Should I back off again? Should we go back
and rent Cheongryong?
I had all kinds of thoughts.
At that moment, the look in a boy’s eyes came to mind.
Zeke van Holwitsch.
He was so insignificant.
From the perspective of Deus, who was a demigod, Zeke was just a weakling who could be killed with a breath.
But he never once gave in.
He did not lose courage in the face of any force.
He resolutely endured and endured, and eventually
became strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
I guess I didn’t get anything from that look!
Just as Zeke sought courage from Deus’ eyes a long time ago, Deus was moved by Zeke’s courage.
I added strength to my fist.
It can be broken.
Just hit it until it breaks. Even if it takes years, thousands or tens of thousands of years.
A faint smile appeared.
Hyeonmu made an eerie voice.
“What a pitiful sentient being. How long do you plan on making that worthless gesture?”
” until when?”
“Your body is pitiful. “I met a foolish master and was mistreated like this.”
“Why are you worried about my body? Just worry about your body, okay? “Let’s see how long you can last.”
“Kkeukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkuk Even if you attack me for eons it will be useless. “I am omnipotent!” Deus’s fist
struck
Hyeonmu’s chest without stopping, like a heavy hammer striking .
It was just a transparent curtain.
No incontinence at all. But Deus was not impatient.
There really wasn’t a deadline.
I was thinking of testing whether my lifespan was longer or Hyeonmu’s defense was higher.
There was nothing urgent anyway.
The war 10 years from now will naturally be canceled without me.
I didn’t know if Zeke would grow old and die. I am sorry for not being able to return the Suzaku, but it would be okay to at least hand it over to his child
.
If it takes longer than expected, I’ll hand it over to the guy who inherited Hollybitch’s castle a few thousand years later.
Thinking about this made me laugh.
“You are truly reckless. “How long do you plan to continue this senseless behavior?”
“I’m going to do this forever. Either your baby breaks or I grow old and fall behind.”
“It’s worthless!”
“Is it worth it? “Isn’t that also very expensive?”
“Hehe, you really don’t communicate well.”
“But when I looked closely, you…
Deus was looking straight at Hyeonmu.
His eyes beneath his half-closed eyelids were now trembling slightly.
“You’re scared, you bastard.”
“Hehe, I have infinite power…
“Try counterattacking.”
“It’s not worth fighting back.”
“Try it. “It’s also unseemly to get beaten up unilaterally, isn’t it?”
“Can’t you?”
Hyeonmu kept his mouth shut.
“It turns out that this guy was just psychological warfare. Well, who would have thought that the devil wouldn’t blink an eye at a blow that took all his might? As far as defense goes, you’ve really reached the end. But the attack power is average, right? “The moment you pretend to counterattack, your defense will definitely be broken.”
“You doubt my ability.”
“Come and see.”
“What should I do with this meaningless life?” “Come and see! “Grow up, you bastard!”
Deus opened his chest wide.
The attitude seemed to be to attack at any time.
“Heh heh
“Heh heh I fell asleep. From the looks of it, there isn’t much left. Avoid it well. “Don’t be left behind because you got hit wrong.”
“Now wait!”
Hyeonmu opened his eyes.
“You are the first to push me this far.”
“so?”
“I will surrender.”
“You are a vain bastard. “How can you
change your stance so quickly?”
“Of all the powerful beings that have passed by me so far, none have been as persistent as you.”
“Well, I understand that too. “I never thought there would be someone who wouldn’t be hurt by my power.”
“Everyone was intoxicated with their own abilities. When a stronger enemy appeared, I avoided battle, not wanting to lose face. “You are the first to attack me without giving up.”
In fact, a little while ago, Deus hesitated for a moment whether he should quit or not.
If I hadn’t thought of Zeke, I would have rolled my tail twice in front of Hyeonmu.
If he had gone that far, he would never have been able to attack Hyeonmu again.
Deus spoke to his left hand.
“Suzaku, go back to your master.”
Red light escaped the hand and turned into a huge flaming bird. Deus caught a glimpse of the firebird flying away and extended his left hand towards Hyeonmu.
“Stay here, Hyeonmu.”
“All right. I will serve you as my master.”
Zeke’s sword and shield glowed red again.
And before long, Deus also returned to where Zeke was.
“Voila!”
He raised the back of his left hand. Hyeonmu’s emblem was engraved there.
Yulgeum burst into laughter.
“Gotcha.”
“Because this body is a genius.”
“I borrowed Suzaku from Zeke and left.”
“Well, actually, I think it would have been worth catching even without it. “I was just fooled by the bravado.”
“As expected, it was a lie.”
“But this guy is definitely much stronger than Baekho or Suzaku.”
Deus said this and summoned a bead into his palm.
“Zeke.”
” yes.”
“Take it.”
Deus threw the marble to Zeke.
“eat.”
” yes?”
“It’s not something you can’t eat, so eat it.”
Zeke looked at the marble for a moment. Inside the colorless and transparent capsule was something that looked like a black flame.
Zeke was curious about what it was, so he swallowed the bead right away.
A cool heat went down my neck.
The energy that entered the body suddenly exploded and started running wild.
