#Episode 139
I fell to the ground. The smell of dirt hit me. I couldn’t stop the laughter that escaped my lips.
I’ve seen so many strong people.
Whether on Titan or on Earth.
There were impressive strong men among the apostles, and there were impressive strong men among the beings of the Underworld.
But I can guarantee that there are very few people as strong as Cheonma.
Of all the people I’ve met recently, the strongest one I’ve met was the sun god Ra.
His end was not pretty, but the power he possessed was quite impressive.
The Heavenly Horse in front of my eyes was stronger than the sun god Ra at that time.
Exactly one step.
He’s that strong.
If we are to judge by level, it would be said to be the highest level among the Talhonkyung.
I stood up from my seat, my feet on the ground.
The heavenly horse that was in the sky lightly lands on the ground.
The appearance is definitely the same.
The form of [territorial expansion] is somewhat similar to Helena’s case, but not the same.
Should we say that it is a form in which one’s own power is completely compressed?
No.
I think it would be better to think of it as some kind of buff.
I don’t think it’s all about speed, what is it?
I think you’ll notice it if you look at it one or two more times.
I blinked.
In front of me, there was a heavenly horse.
“What are you thinking about?”
I turned my head to the side. At the same time, I took a step back. The Heavenly Demon’s fist grazed the side of my face, and the Heavenly Demon’s foot grazed my nose.
That was it. The moment I blinked once more, the Heavenly Horse in front of my eyes disappeared. I swung the back of my hand backwards.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A loud noise erupts. It is the sound of the extended calf of the Heavenly Horse touching the back of my hand. And.
The Heavenly Horse disappeared again.
I took a step forward, putting strength into my legs. I glanced behind me. The Heavenly Demon’s fist was reaching out. I couldn’t dodge it with just one step. I added a little more strength to my left leg and kicked away.
The body floats in the air and spins. The Heavenly Demon’s fist grazes.
Bam, I landed on the ground again.
I get the feeling.
No, I didn’t just get a feel for it, I understood it perfectly.
“Interesting.”
“What’s so interesting?”
“I’ve seen quite a few [domain expansions], but this is the first time I’ve seen you do it.”
“… … .”
“It’s interesting. [Area Expansion] that completely ignores the laws of physics. I don’t think your body can handle it right now. Are you okay?”
“Are you worried about the enemy? You are truly carefree.”
He shrugged.
My heart is wider than the Pacific Ocean.
One thing is certain, Cheonma is now risking everything.
It’s not just words, but as I said earlier, the body of the Heavenly Horse would not be able to withstand that level of [territorial expansion].
It means there is a time limit, and when that time is up, Cheonma will probably collapse. It doesn’t mean he will die, but his body will probably be damaged to the point where he can’t do anything.
You could think of it as something like a finishing move these days.
Well, it’s a little different.
“A special move? Something like that.”
This was used a lot in the past, but the word is really childish.
“Should we stop here?”
“No way.”
“Then let’s start over. As you said, we don’t have much time.”
As I said before, I am broad-minded.
And this is something that should be made clear: worrying about the enemy is only possible if you have the luxury of doing so.
Laughter breaks out.
I raised my head.
The Heavenly Horse moves while completely ignoring the laws of physics. When being attacked, attacking, or performing any action, there is a corresponding reaction, but it ignores all of that. It moves to another place while its fist is extended, and then extends its fist again. The moment its body touches the ground, it moves again without any overload on its body. Friction is almost non-existent, and there is no resistance to mana, air, or even wind floating in the air. It is not almost non-existent, it is just non-existent.
That’s why I can move like that in that brief moment when I blink my eyes.
For that to be possible, you have to move in a time that is an exception to all the laws of this world, and your body, your senses, and every word you can utter have to reach a level that is almost comparable to that of a ‘god’.
Cheonma is currently temporarily at that stage.
I’ve seen a lot of [domain expansion] that strengthens the body, but Cheonma’s was the epitome of body strengthening, almost at the level of the ultimate.
It’s very impressive, but the horse will probably fall after about 30 seconds.
so.
I plan to finish it in about 10 seconds.
I took a deep breath. My lungs expanded. My heart pounded. My blood flow increased exponentially.
Pure white smoke flows out from the whole body, and the strength of the body naturally increases.
I blinked once.
The Cheonma, which had been a little far away, is now in front of me.

Everything seems slow.
Cheonma’s shoulder muscles twitched. In an instant, Cheonma’s fist was right in front of my nose.
and.
Thud-!
Got it.
A storm rages in all directions. Cheonma’s eyes open wide.
“The movements are too linear.”
Okay, at this part I let go of Cheonma’s hand.
I pushed the ground away with my legs.
In front of me was the back of the head of a heavenly horse.
I reached out. Everything is slow.
The head of the horse was caught and thrown to the ground.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Craters hundreds of meters in diameter are created.
He let go of his hand again. Cheonma’s body disappeared. He immediately took a step back, turned around, and raised his left wrist.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Cheonma’s fist was blocked by the raised wrist. He looked at the bloody Cheonma and spoke again.
“I said it was linear.”
He clenched his right fist tightly and struck upward from below.
Paaaak-!!
The body of the Heavenly Horse bent strongly. A large amount of blood burst out from its mouth, but it did not touch my body. It immediately moved to the side and swung its right foot.
Kwaaaaang-!!
It is strongly stuck in the side of the horse.
Just like before, Cheonma’s body fell to the ground again.
This time, a crater nearly several kilometers across was created.
The horse couldn’t move any further.
I slowly slowed down my heartbeat as I watched him writhing on the floor.
The white lotus flower disappears. The swollen muscles also return to their original state.
The spirit of ecstasy that was flowing out of Cheonma’s body also disappeared.
I just squatted down in my seat.
Cheonma spoke to me with blood dripping from his mouth.
“… … You interfere with [the law] without unfolding [the realm expansion].”
“That’s what happened.”
“… … It’s a monster.”
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.
Somehow this time it doesn’t feel like a compliment.
Isn’t it? Is it a compliment?
He lit it with a smile.
The fight is over.
* * *
Some time passed.
Cheonma Ju Seong-cheol, who had been lying on the floor, slowly stands up from his seat.
I looked at Jin Shi-hoo, who had a cigarette in his mouth.
Normally, Cheonma’s physical condition should be at its worst right now. However, it wasn’t to that extent.
[Area Expansion] was released before the overload became serious, and even Jin Shihou restored Cheonma’s body to some extent.
Rather than feeling grateful, I felt awe first.
Seriously.
“That’s amazing.”
There were several wounds on Jin Shihou’s body and face.
But it was ambiguous to call this a wound, strictly speaking.
It’s just a joke.
In a fight between such strongmen, no one would consider a bruise a wound.
This means a gap. To begin with, Cheonma’s [domain expansion] is outstanding. Among the numerous constellations, there is not a single one that can keep up with Cheonma’s. The epitome of physical strengthening.
However, Jin Shihou caught up with the movements of the Heavenly Horse without even [expanding his territory]. No, if he had stopped at the level of being caught up, it would have been admiration, not awe. Jin Shihou far surpassed the Heavenly Horse.
Jin Shihou’s current power is enough to reach the [Ascendants].
Cheonma was convinced.
That’s why I laughed.
“Hahahahahaha!”
Cheonma laughed heartily.
It makes me laugh. I just laughed.
He laughed like a madman.
Jin Shihou just stared blankly at the Heavenly Horse.
The laughter continued for a long time. The laughter stopped. Cheonma took out a small crystal ball from his bosom.
“How much do you know about star #875?”
“I said it was my first time hearing about it.”
Cheonma nodded and continued speaking.
“It is a planet that was destroyed hundreds of years ago, and the constellations and ascenders call it ‘the place of exile.’”
“Place of exile?”
“Countless constellations were exiled there. But none of them returned.”
Cheonma slowly broke the crystal ball.
Then, a space opens up behind the Heavenly Horse as if he had appeared there.
“The ascenders and countless constellations will be watching this moment.”
“so?”
“If you ever become hostile to the ascendants and vow to bring them down from heaven, then come to me.”
Jin Shihou tilted his head.
“They say if you go there you’ll all die?”
“Don’t wait without dying.”
“I might not go.”
Slowly, Cheonma’s expression changed.
Jin Shihou is quick-witted. On the outside, Cheon Ma’s expression looked very complicated, but inside, it was filled with a feeling of great regret.
“… … The story of the stars is truly vicious.”
Looking at Cheonma’s bitter expression, Jin Shihou felt a strange feeling.
To be exact, the back of my head was a little sore.
“Phase 2, Chapter 1 ends when you kill the Emperor.”
“so?”
“Do you know who decides the emperor?”
“Who decides?”
“The Ascended Ones.”
“… … .”
“The Emperor is what they decide. When it comes to all the Awakened who progress through the story of the stars, they choose one of them.”
Cheonma slowly took a step back.
“If you have the will to kill the ascendants, come to me. I will be your hands and feet, and I will bark when you tell me to and kneel when you tell me to.”
Cheonma paused for a moment, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued speaking.
“… … I wish I had the chance to repay the favor you have shown me just now, but honestly, I hope not.”
When a patient wakes up in a hospital room after a car accident or major surgery, doctors sometimes make a heartfelt joke.
I wish I never saw you again.
It’s also heartfelt advice to never have another car accident and never have to experience those brief moments between life and death again.
Cheonma’s words now are similar to that.
“I wish you good luck.”
Cheonma said so and threw himself backwards.
Cheonma’s body is sucked into the broken space.
And so Cheonma Ju Seong-cheol disappeared.
Jin Shihou stood there for a moment.
Because I know that everything Cheonma said is true.
And because the horse’s words were heard.
He slowly raised his head. His brows were furrowed.
He sees the gourun that was stuck in the corner of his vision.
After approaching Goeuroon, he crouched down in front of him.
“Nothing to say?”
“… … The ascendants will be angry, because you did not follow their decision.”
He chuckled.
“Do I have to follow that? Oh, what? Are you listening right now?”
“… … They see everything that I see.”
“Then that’s good.”
He grabbed Goeuroon by the collar with one hand and opened his mouth.
