Episode 188
Masaru continues speaking.
“I don’t know if you’ll ever see that bitch die, but it’s probably better not to. Do you know star #299?”
Star #299.
Jin Shihou has definitely heard of it.
“The constellations usually call that place the prostitution planet. They’ll sell you there. Well, there’s already a record of those from other planets who hated Jinsong selling you out… … It doesn’t matter.”
The following words were a soliloquy.
Well, prostitution and all, that’s secondary.
“You were the first to suggest making Jeongbin the Emperor, and then Platy reported on it and passed it on to the editors and Byul’s Story?”
“That’s correct.”
“Are you also responsible?”
“Is it just a matter of responsibility? It means that it was ‘started’ by me. If I had not suggested that opinion, His Majesty would not have handed over such a matter to Byul-ui Story in the first place, and Byul-ui Story would have chosen another person as Emperor without even knowing that opinion.”
Jin Shihou made up his mind.
“You want to see the power?”
“Yes. You try to pull it out. Do you think you can pull it out? It’s so disgusting that someone like you goes around talking with such intentions.”
Masaru asked Jin Shi-hoo, who was scratching his head.
“What about the opposing position?”
“It’s not good. But what are you doing? Get up.”
Masaru stood up silently.
Jin Shi-hoo swings his fist at Masaru’s face.
Ugh.
Caught without a fight.
Masaru is disappointed.
no way.
“Is this power?”
“No way.”
Jin Shihou swung his other fist.
Paaaaak-!!
Masaru’s face becomes wet as drops of blood spurt out.
“It’s not a full power, but it’s true that it’s a little scratched.”
As he spoke, Jin Shihou’s eyes turned golden.
The air slowed down. The reactions of the evacuees became slower, and the natural air almost stopped.
Masaru was embarrassed.
“Grit your teeth.”
There was no time to do anything about Jin Shihou’s words.
The clenched fist hits Masaru’s side of the face again.
Paaaaaaaah-!!
Masaru fell to the ground. I slammed my right foot down on his face.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
“Cough-!”
* * *
It was a groan that came out without me knowing.
I’ve been attacked by Jin Shihou several times.
Some of them were blocked and some were hit.
Let me be clear, it was all intentional. It could have been avoided if it was wanted.
That means, all of Jin Shihou’s power is already within Masaru’s range of perception.
But this time it was different.
The incoming force itself is overwhelming. Did the muscles expand? That can’t be. There was no change in Jin Shi-hoo’s body.
That means it was pulled up.
Not only did he increase the muscle mass, but he also increased the utilization of his escapades by at least twice compared to before.
Just now.
“This is going to be fun.”
Jin Shihou stomps his foot again. He extends his left hand.
Ugh.
Caught it.
Beyond that, Jin Shihou’s golden eyes can be seen.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
It was at that moment when I was about to roll my body to the side. A tingle, goosebumps appeared all over my body. This was not it. It was at that moment when I was about to throw Jin Shi-hoo while holding onto his feet. Once again, my whole body felt a tingle.
This is not it either.
Should I call it instinct? Or should I call it intuition?
You must not go.
It was definitely read.
Masaru made a choice that his usual self would never make.
He struck Jin Shihou’s ankle with all his might with his right fist.
Paaaaak-!!
Knock knock.
It was broken.
It’s definitely crushed.

But why am I so anxious?
Masaru felt the strength in Jin Shihou’s foot that he was holding onto.
Thud thud, the muscles in the arm that was holding it swell.
I tried to throw it somewhere else, but it was impossible. It wouldn’t budge.
Towards Masaru’s fame.
Paaaaak-!!
Jin Shihou’s other foot was stuck. He was pushed back. He raised his head.
A shadow falls over Masaru’s face.
It was Jin Shihou’s heel that he had been holding on to until just now and had just let go.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The thought didn’t continue.
Masaru’s body is buried deep in the ground.
Jin Shi-hoo landed on the floor and snapped his fingers without hesitation.
[White Lotus Sect’s Sevenfold Law.]
[Chapter 1. The Battle of Pacheontanji.]
The bullet extended from his hand hits Masaru’s body, which was stuck in the floor.
It wasn’t just once.
Jin Shihou continued to snap his fingers.
He flicked it leisurely, like a child stabbing an ant crawling on a stick.
That number alone totals 10.
Pubbububububu-!
The sound of a leather drum being torn apart echoed throughout the area. Everyone watching the fight between Jin Shi-hoo and Masaru from a distance fell silent.
Even if he’s Masaru, would he be okay if he receives that level of attack?
No, how can it be okay?
He’s a man who even cut down the police chief with a single sword.
Soon, Jin Shihou’s fingers stopped. As he stretched out his hand, the Heavenly Sword that had been far away was sucked into his hand.
He silently slung it over his shoulder.
“What are you doing? Come up here instead of putting on a show.”
As soon as you finish speaking, a response comes.
Kwaan, Masaru popped out of the deep hole with a loud noise.
He landed in front of Jin Shihou and glared at him with a distorted expression, like an evil spirit.
His body was not normal.
His abdomen was hollow and there were holes all over his body.
“If it was a normal constellation, it would have died in the third shot. If it was Cheonma, it would have died in the sixth shot. If it was the superintendent of police over there, it would have died in the eighth shot.”
“… … .”
“That’s pretty good. It’s the first time I’ve lasted ten times since the clone Lord made.”
“… … A clone?”
“Okay. Do whatever you want.”
Crunch-!
Masaru’s arms rise into the sky.
This is what reacted.
Since I reacted, only my arm was blown off. If I hadn’t reacted, my head would have been blown off.
“Show me. Power.”
Crunch-!
Masaru’s legs soared into the sky. The trajectory of the sword? I couldn’t even see it. Masaru fell down helplessly. He muttered in a low voice.
[transition.]
In an instant, Masaru’s body moves about 200 meters away from Jin Shihou’s body.
His right arm and right leg had regenerated, but he still seemed to be in pain.
What should I say?
My hands are shaking.
“That’s why you don’t show your power.”
Jin Shi-hoo disappeared from that spot. Jin Shi-hoo was behind Masaru.
Masaru turned around and threw his fist.
Nature responded and his soul was put into his fist. Space was torn apart. Whoosh-!
Jin Shihou was not there.
My eyes widen.
I raised all my senses. I was alert to Jin Shihou’s movements.
But everything was colorlessly missed. It was definitely behind me, it was definitely here… … .
“If it’s like this now that I haven’t shown it to you, how pathetic would it be if I showed it to you?”
I heard a sound from next to me. I turned my head.
square-!
My right ear feels hot.
One more time.
square-!
This time it was the left ear.
and.
Ugh.
The tip of the Heavenly Sword touched Masaru’s nose.
“It’s been about six months since all wars on Titan ended. I arrived on star #2403 a month ago.”
“… …What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing much, but what do you think I did during the five months between six months and one month?”
“… … .”
“The me from six months ago is different from the me from a month ago. But even if you were the me from six months ago, you would still be able to press it.”
“… … .”
“Then, at this point, I should ask a question. Why don’t I kill you right now?”
“… … Do you have any questions? I’m sorry, but I have no intention of telling you.”
“You said you were going to tell me a story earlier?”
Masaru frowned and did not answer.
He asked with a smile.
“Then shall we make a deal?”
“transaction?”
“The content is simple. What I want is, as you know, the current location of the ascendant Platy, whom you call Your Majesty. If you tell me that, I will finish it off with you alone.”
“… … If you don’t tell me?”
“Did you say you were the Commissioner of the National Police Agency? I don’t know the details, but you came down from that position and sat back down again several times? That must mean you care about the ‘police’ that much.”
Masaru swallowed hard. It wasn’t because of Jin Shihou’s sword touching his nose.
Because he clearly understood what Jin Shihou meant by what he said.
“Let’s put off finding Platy for a bit longer and try to wipe out all the police officers in this world.”
“… … Do you know how many police officers there are?”
“I don’t care. Whether it’s thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions. I’ll just kill them all. Aren’t you a little curious?”
The tip of Qin Shihou’s sword did not waver even a little. Naturally, his eyes did not waver either.
“Am I just a talker or a man of action?”
No one knows what Jin Shihou did and lived on Titan.
Those are all the things Jin Shihou said out loud.
Killed the Dragon Lord, was called a god of war on Titan, had companions and most of them died. To be honest, none of these things mattered that much.
How he killed the Dragon Lord, how he came to be called a god of war, how his companions died.
The ‘how’ was the most important. Nothing was known about it.
Even Jin Shihou has the ‘Seed of Destruction’ that he received from the [Crystal of Grudge]. This means that if he is wrong, he has the power to scatter it all over the agar and wipe out the seeds of all living things.
Masaru doesn’t know that part.
But those unwavering eyes.
And now, the execution power that comes to Hancheon and takes action.
The power that one possesses.
Just looking at these three things should be enough to tell.
Jin Shihou is a man who can do it well enough.
I’m going to wipe out the police, I’m going to kill them all, no matter how many there are. He’s capable of that.
It is highly likely that he did something similar on Titan. The smell of blood on his hands was clearly transmitted to Masaru’s sense of smell even though he had no intention of smelling it.
So, I had no choice but to say this.
“… …let’s make a deal.”
“Which of the two options?”
“… … I’ll do it a third time.”
“Why are there so many kids these days who can’t count? I told you there were two, don’t you remember?”
Masaru continued speaking silently.
“Third option. Knock me down, and I’ll tell you where His Majesty is. But if you choose this option, don’t touch any police officers except me.”
Psik, Jin Shihou bursts into laughter.
“Is this how you keep your pride in appearance?”
“However you take it, it’s your freedom. What can you do?”
Until just a moment ago, Masaru was not the one who looked down on Jin Shihou.
Jin Shihou, whose eyes are dyed gold, is a different person from the Jin Shihou we saw earlier.
