Episode 194
Platy’s two eyes turned to my arms that were grabbing his neck. Both eyes flashed.
Then, with a loud explosion, blood and bone fragments fly into the air.
My arm just burst.
The platy that had been holding my neck pushed me away.
I strained my legs, but it was useless.
I feel a tremendous pressure coming from behind.
with a plop.
I thought it would get stuck in a building or something, but it didn’t.
It was the sea.
I was sinking deep into the water.
I was dazed for a moment.
Should I say it was too unexpected?
All the wounds on my body were regenerated. My body naturally floated upward. As I rose above the water, the thing came into my sight.
Platy was squatting on the sea.
“Do you know what your biggest mistake is?”
“What is that?”
“Your biggest mistake was coming to Hancheon too soon.”
Platy reached out.
My body, which had been floating in the sea with my head still floating, flies towards Platy’s hand.
My throat was grabbed so naturally.
I could say for sure.
The Platy in front of me is the strongest being I have ever met in my life. He said with a cold expression.
“It was nice meeting you. Goodbye… … .”
long time.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a smile on my face.
“Are you laughing? Seriously… … You really have the guts to be an ascendant.”
I raised my spirit. The spirit of liberation that had been suppressed for so long surged from my whole body. Platy opened his eyes wide. It was at that moment that he tried to break my neck by putting strength into his arms.
Ugh.
I grabbed his hand.
Self-defense weapons, muscles, bones, and nerves.
I just pressed it.
Space distorts, and Platy’s hand stops.
“… … What is this… … .”
I stretched out my hand. The Heavenly Sword fell into my hand.
He just lifted it up and hit it.
Crunch-!
Platy’s right arm, which was holding my neck, was severed.
The guy stepped back.
He roughly threw Platy’s right arm, which he was holding in his left hand, into the sea.
with a plop.
He silently took out a cigarette from the subspace and lit it.
“If you have anything else to say, please say it.”
I forgot to mention this.
“I’ll listen to this until you finish smoking it.”
My two golden eyes are reflected in Platy’s two bewildered eyes.
Platy laughed eerily.
“Are you full? I guess I’m finally starting to have some fun.”
His legs push against the sea.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!

The time when Jin Shihou returned to star #2403, or his home planet Earth, was exactly one month and 16 days ago.
As I said before, it’s been six months since all wars with dragons on Titan ended.
So what did Jin Shihou do in the five months from the end of the war until he returned to Earth?
To put it in short words, I ‘trained’.
Jin Shihou was not sure whether the Dimensional Stone he had taken from the Dragon Lord was really the item that would allow him to return home or not.
What if this is a trap?
What if the destination you return to is not Earth?
Since there were many things I was suspicious of, I had to first build up my own strength.
So I went into the room of mind and time once more.
Paradoxically, it was because of the will to somehow return to Earth quickly.
Fortunately, the dimensional stone stolen from the Dragon Lord was real, and Jin Shihou was able to return to Earth.
The important thing is that the Jin Shihou at the end of the war on Titan and the Jin Shihou when he returned to Earth were completely different people.
Jin Shihou had reached a level he didn’t even know he had reached, even though his brain had shut down.
The enlightenment gained in the process is accumulated in the body.
In the second room of spirit and time that he entered, Jin Shihou practiced to reach the maximum limit that had been accumulated.
The results were significant.
Jin Shihou accurately describes his own strength as the section of the Four Gates.

The lowest level is the normal state of the body.
A normal state where one can freely use natural energy as well as mana, and one’s body is covered with a protective aura made of natural energy.
Next is the second gate.
This is the section where you use the escape device while in your normal physical state.
In this section, Jin Shihou uses the techniques of the White Lotus Sect and the powers of the God of War and the Sword of War created on Titan.
And the three gates.
In the Sammun section, Jin Shihou uses the Golden Eye Divine Art and expands the area.
Jin Shihou never entered the area beyond the Four Gates for even a single moment.
Just by raising the power, the world shakes, the heavens cry, and the yin-yang and five energies bow their heads.
Nunu Jinshihu spoke again and again.
I don’t know the details of my own abilities.
This wasn’t a lie.
Honestly, Jin Shihou didn’t know the extent of his own power.
The apostles I met after returning to Earth, the alien races of the Underworld, and even the constellations.
Because they were all at a level that could easily deal with the dragons before the war.
Even in the second gate section, it was possible to deal with them, and once they crossed over to the third gate section, there was not a single person who could receive Qin Shihou’s single sword.
I have never met him before.
An opponent that I can give my all against in my current situation.
But now I met you.
Qin Shihou’s sword cuts through the sky.
Crunch-!!
The earth splits in half and the sky splits as well. Platy’s left arm, which was the target, is split in half.
“… … Does this make sense… … .”
Platy stretches out his legs in confusion. Jin Shihou turns his body and swings the Heavenly Sword once more.
Crunch-!
Platy’s feet soar into the sky and fall into the sea.
“… … I don’t understand.”
Platy turned his head to the side and was surprised again.
Because the tip of the Cheonhageom sword was extended in front of his face.
He tilted his head to the side. Square, grazing his cheek. In an instant, all of Platy’s body that had been severed regenerated. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the blade of the Heavenly Sword.
“… … Wasn’t it only 10 years? How could one gain this much power in those 10 years?”
Jin Shihou said nothing.
Because it was meaningless. I already heard what he had to say and I heard his will.
He pulled back the Heavenly Sword strongly.
Crunch-!
Platy’s five fingers were cut off and fell to the ground with a thud. Jin Shihou turned his body.
He swung the Heavenly Sword with great force.
From top left to top right.
Platy quickly took a step back. The wound and even the cut had already regenerated in an instant.
Just as Jin Shihou used Helena’s super regeneration, Platy also used super regeneration.
That’s what it means to rise above a certain level.
square-!
The sword of heaven grazed Platy’s neck, exactly 1cm away.
Blood spurts. Platy stretches out his leg.
It touches Jin Shihou’s forehead. Before being pushed back, Jin Shihou also stretched out his leg. To be exact, he swung it like a whip.
Creak-!
The two people were pushed backwards.
Jin Shihou’s Mingchi was broken and Platy’s pelvis was broken.
“… … I feel a little sorry about this.”
Jin Shihou silently grabbed the Heavenly Sword. Platy continued.
“I didn’t know your power, no, your power, was this great. You are not an ascender, but your power reaches the ascenders… … You are an incomprehensible being. I am truly perplexed by this situation.”
“So what? Is there anything else you want to say?”
“There you go. You are the variable. No, to be exact, you could call it the inflection point.”
“Turning point?”
“You may not know why Star #2403 starts its story with the year 2024 as the reference point.”
Jin Shihou remained silent for a moment. He had no intention of listening to the dog’s squabbles, but he was a little curious about that part.
“It wasn’t originally 2024. It was 1592, 1200, 800, 400, and it was various. It was various, but there was no harvest. The ultimate goal of the story of the stars is to prevent destruction. The story of the stars has been waiting. For the turning point to appear.”
“Where is that turning point?”
“From the perspective of the person, the probability has increased dramatically at this moment. In numbers, it is roughly 70%.”
“Why did you decide that?”
“Even the most trivial encounter or incident has an impact. No matter how trivial the incident, its traces will never disappear. Those traces create new incidents, and those incidents create traces again, and the result is destruction. The turning point means an existence that can embrace or erase those traces. In the past.”
Platy’s gaze turned to Jin Shihou’s left hand. The two rings worn on the ring and middle fingers of his left hand.
He continued speaking while looking at it.
“The man named Cheonjeon was a strong candidate for that turning point. However, he failed. His attempt became a great wave, but… … In the end, he was not the turning point. He was just close to the turning point.”
Jin Shihou raised his left hand. The two rings had not broken or cracked despite the considerable impact they had received so far.
Even if an arm was cut off or torn off, it was ‘regenerated’ as if it were a part of the body.
“His traces created another incident. The two rings in your hand are definitely not a coincidence.”
“… … .”
“Do you know what the only thing the story of the stars cannot interfere with?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s the law of cause and effect.”
“Causality? Cause and effect, that is?”
“Similar. The story of the stars cannot interfere with that causality. They do not try to twist that causality in a legitimate way. The turning point that ‘we’ are talking about means an entity that can perfectly twist that causality. In other words.”
“in other words?”
“The turning point means the coming of the savior. Now I understand. Why the story of the stars wants to watch over you.”
Jin Shihou scratched his chin.
If you think about it, most of Jin Shihou’s demands have been accepted by Byul’s story. It is clear that Byul is the one who is losing, and Jin Shihou is the one who is benefiting. People say that this is a completely twisted deal, and the reason for this seems to have been roughly revealed.
“… … This is interesting. It’s really interesting. If you are the turning point, will the person die by your hand? Or will he survive?”
“You’ll probably die. I don’t intend to let you live.”
“… … .”
“You messed with my people. You’ll end up dying. Not just you, but all the other ascendants too.”
“… … Good. This is really interesting. A being who possesses the ‘Fragment of God’ that can shatter the sect, and yet gains the power to reach the ascended after only 10 years. I am very curious about how causality works at this moment.”
Platy spread out both hands.
Then the world shudders.
