I looked closely at his condition. The gold armor covering his body was made of metal, but it was different from the low-quality steel of this world. The exterior was surprisingly smooth and had a faint glow, and although it was gorgeous like a precious metal, it did not feel soft. Every time he moved, the armor organically changed its appearance. When he stretched out his tattered legs, as if they had been eaten by an animal, metal feet were created, allowing him to walk, and his crushed face was now completely covered in gold, leaving no trace of its former appearance except for the pupils. I was confused as to whether the change that occurred to the king was due to the highly advanced technology built into the Bifrost, or if it was a ridiculous phenomenon that occurred by coincidence.
Eventually, he became a being whose entire body was covered in metal, like a moving statue, and could never be called human except in human form. I pressed my frowning brow with my index finger to soothe my aching headache. Holy shit, what the-
“Are you Iron Man?”
[iron man. Ha, that’s a vague sentiment. Even after seeing Jim’s divine status.]
There was no king who was servile. His voice was authoritative and arrogant. Considering his temperament, he seemed to think that he had become strong enough to quench the murderous intent he now harbored against me.
[The burden is beyond human.]
He shouted in a voice full of arrogance.
[I feel it. This power. The brilliance that destroyed great evil. His sustenance was there. Hehehe. As expected, Bifrost was a vessel that accepted the power of God.]
The guy stretched out his hands towards the sky as if he was longing.
[I have gained the power of the Eternal King! The sun god is with me. Jim is God’s representative, a holy savior, and the only king of this world. So gold. Golden King! The Golden King’s three karma will be remembered forever!]
Golden King.
Gold King?
“Ugh, that’s childish.”
It’s a perfect name for a new menu item at a chicken restaurant.
“Do it under a different name. f*uck. If you ask me where I went and who I fought, I can’t say I fought the ‘Gold King’. “It’s going to be a joke.”
The self-indulgent guy didn’t pay any heed to my sincere advice.
[This power, which my foolish father dared to imitate, is the true ‘Hator.’]
I didn’t let down my guard. He wasn’t scared, but he considered the change that had occurred to be a threat. But there was no prior movement in his attack. I felt no flow of power or change. In just an instant, the armor flashed, and a golden light stronger than the sun poured down on me. The beam was not an attack that could be avoided, just as the light of a flashlight could not be avoided.
Swept by golden light, I calmly observed the changes taking place in me. My skin melted. It is not due to high temperature. Power is being lost. Its light absorbed my fundamental energy and tried to take away even the minimal strength that forms my body. I immediately raised my strength and performed a self-defense technique. The strength radiated in layers protected the body. The light could not penetrate the strong energy and crumbled. It absorbed pure energy, but it could not do anything about the processed power imbued with will.
“Is this the end?”
It was an attack method similar to the martial arts martial arts technique. But if it doesn’t work, it’s nothing. I waited until he came up with another move. Like a cat that plays with its food and only kills it when it gets tired of it. I wanted him to make me happy so that the wait was worth it.
[The sun shines on the earth.]
at that time.
The ‘Gold King’ lowered his hands.
An even more intense light emanated from its palm.
The golden light pierced the clouds and extended to the ground.
For the first few seconds, I didn’t realize the severity of the situation. I was leisurely watching, but when I noticed a strange change in my senses, I quickly opened my eyes and looked down. Its light tried to absorb my power. I was lightly blocked by the river, but that was because it was me. Since I have reached the level of a demi-god, I can easily block it, so how will other people resist when they are exposed to the light?
I felt countless energies rising from the ground. The energy storm that swirled like a waterspout and glided along the light was the power of the soul. I remembered the procession of souls I encountered in the underground city of Melkaran. It was by no means small compared to the soul procession at that time. Powerful energy. The number of souls contained in that.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Storm screamed in pain. Hundreds of thousands of eyes are shaking with fear. I hurriedly picked up Skade Mer, but hesitated before cutting off the souls connected to the light. The guilt of having to kill those innocent people with my own hands created a momentary gap.
Kuaaa-!
I immediately made up my mind and swung Skade Mer, but in an instant, the soul storm followed the light path and was absorbed into King Sternil’s armor. I cut off half of it before it was all swallowed, but half was swallowed. The broken souls were unable to return to their bodies and perished. And the souls absorbed by the king ended up just becoming food for him.
It absorbed the soul.
The number was at least tens of thousands.
The lives of innocent people living on the ground below are used as nourishment.
“pup.”
What makes his terrible actions even more damning.
He was still the king of Sternil.
There is only one city that exists down here.
The brilliant capital of the Sternil Kingdom.
Those who were eaten were his people.
[Oh oh-! I feel tremendous power. It’s pretty cool that even trivial things like ants gather here. Haha-!]
“Do you know what you did?”
I activated my Cheonan Tong to its extreme level and glared at him. I hoped that I could feel even the slightest bit of guilt. There was no sign of guilt at all. In this way, he is no different from the devil. Although he was an immoral person, he was faithful to his desires and was a weak human being who struggled to gain power. He could have been fully forgiven before he did something like this. But he couldn’t turn back now.
“You damn bastard.”
My fight ended up being once again an act of erasing ugliness rather than enjoyment.
[The people live for the king. My people will gladly make sacrifices. haha! Just tens of thousands of lives can be this much power. If I absorb all the millions of people in the kingdom, I will surpass the Eternal King… Yes. I am the sun god’s chosen successor. It must be God’s will. Haha! Jim is the sun god!]
The guy stretches out his hand.
Golden light illuminates the ground.
I stood in the way.
Slowly.
[I will destroy you first.]
Light had no physical attack power, but the person who absorbed the soul seemed to have gained a different power, and a sphere of light was created every time he swung his hand. The orb of light rushed towards me, emitting a fierce roar and light like plasma. I raised my sword and radiated sword energy. When the sphere of light touched the sword energy, it exploded and swept around. Blue storms filled with lightning exploded one after another. Meanwhile, I blocked the attack without any inspiration.
“Not funny.”
[Dead ones. The Sun God commands, rise up and punish the traitor!]
The light emanating from the guy’s armor came together and transformed into a human form.
In no time, the number exceeded thousands. The soldier of light charged at me. Slowly. As soon as Skjändmer swung weakly, the soldier of light touched the blade, it also exploded and struck me.
[Hahaha. It is truly the power of universal intelligence. Now two suns have risen in this world. Among them, I will become a greater being than the sun rising high above!]
The fiercely soaring beam of light became the bastard’s sword.
He smiled arrogantly and swung a huge sword of light at me.
The sword was shining, but it was not light. It was a mass of energy with enormous mass.
A fever blew in the aftermath of the swing, leaving a shimmering haze in the wake.
The remains of the collapsed temple were instantly consumed by fire and melted.
The moment the sword finally touches me.
I swung Skade Mer as if shooing away a fly and destroyed the sword of light.
[You, who were praised as a savior, do not know what to do with the true power of salvation and are busy protecting your life. The sun is merciful, and if you beg for your life, I will gladly save your life and make you my first servant.]
Cleaning is annoying. Homework is boring. Even if you like something, if it becomes your job, it becomes boring. The excitement was broken. I laughed at him with disgust and contempt boiling deep in my heart. The guy who was enjoying himself was excited by my bitter ridicule, so he lowered his voice and warned.

[…] What’s funny?]
What’s funny? I scratched the back of my head.
“I didn’t have the right partner. The other person. “You bastard.”
[what?]
“The devil is so disgusting and unpleasant that I don’t want to fight him. Lanista won’t fight anymore. Ha, honestly, I don’t hate it. You surpassed your own limits with that ugly desire. A crazy act, like killing my own father and planting something I don’t even know about in my heart. I thought to myself when you jumped into the Bifrost’s explosion and came back to life. what? “Look at this guy?”
I ended up talking for a long time out of regret.
What can I do by explaining it?
It’s already too late.
“But you crossed the line too lightly. shit. “Before we even had a chance to fight properly.”
I held the hilt of Skal de Mer with both hands.
[I don’t know what you’re talking about. Tsk, your attitude is arrogant. No matter how much you are the pillar of dawn, can’t you see the gap in power? Get down on your knees right now… … .]
The guy stopped talking.
I looked down with twinkling eyes as if I couldn’t understand.
I desperately tried to hold my hand to the wound where half of my body had been blown away, but I could not prevent the collapse.
[how?]
His last words are a strong question.
The ‘Gold King’ died in vain without even knowing how he died.
Soon the severed head fell. It is a golden mask filled with astonishment. I got so annoyed that I kicked the guy’s head. It flies far away.
“Stupid bastard.”
What is the sun god? He didn’t even notice the nine sword strikes that cut his body into pieces.
I didn’t know of a guy who absorbed tens of thousands of lives and became powerful in an instant. Just because a child gets an amazingly sharp knife, doesn’t mean he can deal with a knife wielder. If he had been as careful with the power he had as he was in the process of gaining the power of the Bifrost, he would not have died in vain like this.
“under.”
I looked at the corpse of the guy who was left with nothing but his body.
“shit.”
also.
Should I take it?
* * *
Melissa handed me some shiny golden armor.
“The investigation is over.”
It had been a week since I brought his body to Melissa.
“But why are you giving this to me again?”
“You put it on.”
I remembered King Sternil’s distorted expression.
“no.”
“why?”
“… It stands out too much. Above all, I don’t need armor.”
It’s just cumbersome.
Then Melissa used magic to transform the armor.
The armor gradually clumped together and shrunk, and soon turned into a gold ring.
Melissa was about to put the ring on my hand, but then stopped and placed it on the table.
“don’t worry. “The ‘soul’ has already been stripped away.”
“Still, I still feel uncomfortable. “Why do I have to wear it?”
“This is Noah’s Ark.”
“huh?”
Familiar words came out of Melissa’s mouth.
“Perhaps space collapses… Even if you wander through the gaps of the void, the molecules of the membrane that make up the ring will protect you from being ‘flattened’. “It was originally developed to cross dimensions.”
I didn’t like it, but that’s the way it is with Melissa. I picked up the gold ring, fiddled with it, and put it on my ring finger. A strange sensation came to me, but it did not cause any harm or increase my strength.
“But how do you know this?”
Melissa knew as expected.
What is Bifrost used for?
After asking the question, I looked at Melissa to get an answer, but she didn’t even look at me and just focused on my work. The only sound that followed was the sound of documents being shuffled. I didn’t bother to point out that she was looking at the same page over and over again. As soon as I left the office, the sound of paper scraping stopped. She slowly opened the door and looked inside, but Melissa, who was sitting on her chair, came and disappeared in an instant.
