Episode 464
The body of a drinker.
A body created by mixing magic and divine power and absorbing the newly created magical power into the entire body.
If Jinhyuk could just master this perfectly, if he could just make it his own, then at least while maintaining his current state, he could be considered a being of equal status to a god.
Of course, it may be difficult to compare him to someone who has truly attained divinity, but Jinhyuk’s abilities can more than make up for such minor differences.
But even if it wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t impossible to deal with an imperfect emperor.
“Inooooohh!”
Kkwarung!
As if to prove that the name of the Celestials, who are most closely related to God, was not an empty name, the Emperor continued his attacks with great sharpness.
The lightning bolts of the divine punishment that fell in an instant were powerful, and the Spear of Longinus in his hand still showed its sharp teeth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The power contained in the light blow was by no means small.
The area around where the spear’s thrust passed was so powerful that the air burst out and turned into a vacuum.
Moreover, if you were to be touched or stabbed by Longinus, you would suffer a collapse that could not even be compared to such great power.
Nevertheless, Jinhyuk continued to advance without hesitation.
Knock- knock- knock!
Jinhyuk’s movements as he moved forward, lightly trampling the empty space, were extremely light.
The twelve pairs of black and white wings that sprouted from his back literally gave Jinhyeok wings.
The Emperor, who had finally come close to Jinhyuk as the distance between them narrowed with each step he took, clenched his teeth with a puzzled expression.
‘A mere human being is to me… … Isn’t that guy scared!’
Jinhyeok, who was so reckless that it was scary, was more than enough to instill fear in the Emperor.
The Spear of Longinus is a fearsome weapon that can cause a breakdown of the battlefield if hit properly.
It is not certain because it is a fake and not the original, but even so, the fact that you could lose what you have worked for in an instant is a symbol of fear for everyone.
Nevertheless, Jinhyuk dug in without hesitation, within a distance sufficient for the tip of Longinus’ spear to reach him.
“The right to destroy.”
“… … Huh!”
The magical energy flowing from the black wing among the black and white wings bursts out as it wraps around Jinhyuk’s fist, aiming for the Emperor.
Jinhyuk was still by the side of the Emperor who barely managed to turn his body and avoid the God of Destruction Fist, which had the destructive power to erase even a mountain like an eraser.
“The Fist of Demon Destruction.”
“……this guy!”
This time, a fist of annihilation wrapped in divine power rather than magic rushes towards the emperor.
Even though the Demon Sword’s power, which was as powerful as the God Sword’s power, had divine power, the divine power of the Emperor and Jinhyuk were very different.
Quagagagagagagagak!
The Demon Extermination Fist, which had begun to madly devour the Emperor’s sacred power shield, finally gained the upper hand.
Crunch!
“f*ck, it’s like power!”
Predation.
This is the power that can be called Jinhyuk’s identity and his first power.
With that, he made a small hole in the Emperor’s shield, and as the Demon Slayer Fist squeezed through the gap in the hole, its size also increased in an instant.
Of course, the opponent was not ordinary either.
““Scatter apart!!!””
Prophecy.
The words of God become reality.
It can be said to be similar to verbs or ideograms, but it is slightly different from them.
Verbal is similar to simply speaking magic, and verbal is most similar to prophecy, but it has less power and what it can do.
But the prophecy was different.
Turning what you say into reality ‘unconditionally’.
Jinhyuk’s Demon Slayer Fist crumbled to dust in front of the power that could be seen as reality manipulation.
“Cough!”
Of course, the Emperor had to pay a considerable price for using a divine word, especially a high-ranking divine word, but it was certainly a great feat to destroy the powerful Demon Slayer Fist with a single word.
And the Emperor, who had blocked Jinhyeok’s attack with just one word, did not miss the opportunity given to him.
““Die!!!””
“… … !!!”
death.
It was the moment when the inevitable death sentence based on a powerful prophecy was handed down to Jinhyeok.
Kkwadduk!
The suffocating grip of death.
It was never weak.
The Emperor’s words, which he had uttered as if he had squeezed everything out of himself, were powerful enough to enslave Jinhyuk.
No one knew whether it would actually lead to death, but it was hard to deny that a single word could kill Jinhyuk.
“… … I even placed a restriction on never using the prophecy that Yahweh gave me. I poured all my strength into it. You… … are finished.”
In fact, the Emperor bet everything on this gamble.
All of his remaining strength is restricted to giving up his power forever.
If Jinhyuk could endure this, the Emperor would die without being able to do anything, but it didn’t matter.
Because he was truly convinced that Jinhyuk would not be able to overcome the divine word filled with the power of death.
The battlefield between the two men, which had been filled with nothing but loud noises, began to become filled with silence. * * *
“Hmm, is this the inner world?”
Jinhyuk, who remembered the fierce battle with the Emperor, immediately realized where he had stepped as soon as he opened his eyes.

Inner world.
Jinhyuk opened his eyes in that place, which was both a space in his mind and a real place, and recalled the situation just before.
“My whole body was engulfed in that bastard’s power. And then… … this is what happened.”
Even though he knew that an invisible energy that gave him goosebumps just by looking at it, hearing it, and feeling it was enveloping his entire body, he couldn’t move a single finger.
And opening my eyes to the inner world meant one thing.
“It’s about to come out.”
-You fool. How dare you dare to do anything to God.
“You have come. A fragment of Yahweh.”
-……bloke!
A fragment of Yahweh.
To be precise, it was about coming face to face with his power like this.
Jinhyuk remained calm even when facing someone who looked exactly like Yahweh.
“Do you think I could lose to someone like you, who isn’t even a real person?”
-cheeky……
The Yahweh before our eyes is Yahweh, but is not Yahweh.
Of course, it is ridiculous that Jinhyeok, who is not afraid even in front of the main body of Yahweh, is afraid of something as simple as the power that comes from a fragment of Yahweh.
But the fragments of Yahweh did not care.
-You die here. Your Majesty, that child made the right choice. Knowing when to give up and giving up what was his own is admirable enough. I will reward you separately for this.
“… …What the hell are you talking about?”
The moment Jinhyuk frowns at the sight of her praising the emperor with a meaningful smile.
Chorrrrrr!
-That’s what it means.
“… … Huh!”
The dark aura of death that filled Jinhyuk’s inner world and the thick chains made of it instantly bound Jinhyuk.
Looking at Jinhyeok, who was now in a situation where he was tied up tightly, the fragment of Yahweh smiled even more deeply.
-That child amplified his power in exchange for sealing the power I gave him forever. Thanks to that, he gained the power to kill you. With that power, combined with that child’s choice and all of that child’s remaining power, I should be able to kill you for sure. Do you have anything to say before you die?
A bitter laughter echoes and fills the emptiness of my inner world.
Jinhyuk responded calmly, frowning slightly at the words uttered by that fragment of Yahweh.
“Is that all?”
-……what?
“If you wanted to kill me, you should have done it with an external attack. Are you going to try fighting from within, with a mental battle at that?”
Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!
As he watched Jinhyeok begin to break the chains that bound him, despite the pain that was breaking his whole body, the fragments of Yahweh looked at Jinhyeok with a face that had turned white.
Jinhyuk stared at the fragment of Yahweh and smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.
“Just wait right there. I’ll eat you first.”
-… … You crazy bastard! Your soul will be destroyed!
“Really? Let’s see if that’s really true.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As Jinhyeok laughed even more and struggled even harder, perhaps stimulated by the words of the fragment of Yahweh, the fragment of Yahweh looked at Jinhyeok with an increasingly pale face.
But there was nothing he could do.
He is just a fragment.
Now all his power was the aura of death that filled his inner world and the chains he had created.
That is, if Jinhyeok overcomes the aura of death here and breaks all the chains, then the one who will be eaten will be the fragment of Yahweh himself, just as Jinhyeok said.
A feeling of anxiety came over me.
Even if it was just a piece of debris, the option of being eaten wasn’t all that enjoyable.
However, there was still nothing that the fragments of Yahweh could do.
Puddle-
-This is crazy… …
“Heh… … Heh… … Heh… … Just wait… … Wait.”
-You crazy bastard, you crazy bastard, you crazy bastard!
“I know!”
The fragment of Yahweh felt it intuitively as he looked at Jinhyeok, who was smiling brightly with a smile that was thick with madness.
‘He breaks the chain.’
Jinhyuk would definitely come to break his power and devour him.
And it soon became a reality.
Pakang!
With a cool sound, the fragments of the shattered chain scatter, and Jinhyuk, now free, slowly approaches the fragments of Yahweh in a messy state.
Thud- thud- thud- thud-
The fragments of Yahweh began to struggle at the sound of footsteps that filled the dark inner world.
-Get out! Get out! Get out!
As his screams of madness filled his inner world, the aura of death surged and pressured Jinhyeok, but-
Kururururung!
-… … This power? How on earth, how on earth did you ■■!
“What are you saying? Speak so I can understand.”
A handful of energy burst out from within Jinhyuk and sucked up all the energy of death.
Then, as if satisfied, he returned to Jinhyeok’s interior again.
When the fragments of Yahweh, who had lost all means of attack in an instant, looked at Jinhyeok with a face of emptiness and surprise.
“Okay, I’ll eat well.”
-Ah… … Ahh… … Aaaah!!!
Crunch!
With Jinhyeok’s smile, the vision of Yahweh’s fragment darkened.
and-
-Hahahaha! Yahweh! You too! You’re in the same situation as me! Hehehehehe!
-Aka… … Lot… … . Nonsense… … Impossible… … . You are definitely to Baal… … Ah… … Aaaah… … .
The fragment of Yahweh screamed as it heard the voice of the forgotten old god who had already been devoured by Jinhyeok.
He wanted to convey the unbelievable truth to the main body, but his screams, trapped in Jinhyeok’s inner world, could not reach the main body.
Jinhyuk finished his appetizer and smiled.
“Then shall we go and have some appetizers?”
A moment when you think of the appetizers waiting for you outside your inner world.
Jinhyuk no longer existed in the inner world. * * *
Pakang!
“… … This is ridiculous. How, how, how… … !!!”
The Emperor opened his eyes wide in shock as he watched the darkness surrounding Jinhyeok shatter into pieces.
It’s all over.
The Emperor hesitated at the fact that even his last desperate attempt had no effect, and immediately turned around and chose to run away.
“Run away… … I have to run away. I have to go back to Utopia and reorganize… …!”
The Emperor, who began to open the door to Utopia with a face full of urgency, had no time to relax.
but-
“Are you in a hurry?”
“… … !!!”
The important thing was that it was already too late.
A playful voice is heard from behind.
It was Jinhyuk.
The moment the Emperor realized that Jinhyuk, who had been freed from his power, was right behind him, he broke out in a cold sweat and was about to say something.
“Predation.”
“… … Kwaaaaah!”
Jinhyuk bit the emperor’s nape without hesitation.
Jinhyuk smiled deeply as he felt the divine power seeping into him the moment he took a bite.
“Okay, I’ll eat well.”
“……iced coffee.”
The scream that was not much different from the scream that the fragment of Yahweh had let out in the inner world a moment ago ended with the eerie sound of something being chewed, torn, and swallowed, filling the surroundings.
