Episode 198
It wasn’t the end.
An imperfect sphere floating in the sky emits light. Faced with the power that seems to be annihilating the surrounding area, Jin Shihou does something very unexpected.
Just, I extended my left hand.
Something even more surprising happened at this time.
The ring on Jin Shihou’s left hand emitted light and absorbed the imperfect sphere in midair.
Silence falls, as if nothing had happened.
Immediately, Jin Shihou turned around.
There was a reconstructed Platy there. Platy was swinging his foot. If he didn’t defend himself, it would definitely hit Jin Shihou in the side of his face.
Jin Shihou still chose offense over defense.
He stretched out his left hand, which was wearing a ring.
Pfft-!
At the same time that Platy’s foot struck the side of Jin Shihou’s head, Jin Shihou’s outstretched left palm touched Platy’s forehead.
Joo Sung-chul, who was watching, unconsciously clenched his fist at this part. It was joy and happiness.
It was amazing.
Light burst out once again from the ring on Jin Shihou’s left hand.
Kkaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!!
With a tremendous noise, Platy’s upper body ‘disappeared’.
In an instant, he killed Platy twice.
Joo Sung-cheol had a gut feeling.
today.
The immortal history that the ascendants have built up will be cracked.
Joo Sung-cheol turned his head away for a moment.
Hong Hyun, the manager of Star #12 in the distance.
Why does he stand out so much?
* * *
to be honest.
I didn’t know this would happen.
I wear [Heaven’s Ring of Love] on my left little finger, and [Heaven’s Mask Ring] on my left ring finger.
This, I tried the soft ring once before and it wasn’t bad.
So I tried it just in case, and it was absorbed.
Let’s shoot at the reconstructed Platy, and Platy dies once again.
It was hard to be sure because it was an unidentified technology, but I didn’t know it contained that much power.
I turned my head.
Platy, who appeared reconstructed once again, did not attack by surprise like before.
I asked the guy who was looking at me with a frozen expression about 30 meters away.
“There are three left now?”
“… … .”
“You suddenly became mute. You weren’t like that before.”
Platy shook his head. His expression was still complicated.
“… … Why, does ‘that’ fit you?”
I was a little curious.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
He slung the Cheonha Sword over his shoulder and took a deep breath.
I don’t need to mention this, but honestly, I’m a little tired right now.
Of course, you can’t use the Talhongi infinitely. It’s impossible for me, and it’s impossible for the ascendant Platy over there.
There is a limit to the amount of ecstasy a soul can draw from. I have drawn from about 80% of it now.
It’s not for nothing that only fatal wounds are regenerated.
Let’s take a break during the intermission.
This is a conversation that started with that thought in mind.
Platy remained frozen in place, even though it was obvious that I was trying to rest.
To that extent, I was hooked on something.
“… … I knew that you had the relics of the Heavenly Lord.”
“So. So?”
“But having something and using it ‘completely’ are two different things.”
I was a little curious about this too.
“It was easy. The mask came off easily and was absorbed well. But I guess this wasn’t how it was supposed to be?”
“Of course not. That relic… … should never have been used so easily. Not by anyone else… … Why on earth… … .”
I opened my soul wide and took a deep breath.
I didn’t care why he was doing that.
21, 22, 23.
I restored the soul vessel that was as empty as possible.
The reason this was possible was because Platy was still confused and lost in his own thoughts.
Soon, Platy came to his senses and raised his head.
His gaze was not directed at me.
It was facing the sky.
“… … A being that continues the legacy of the Heavenly Lord and is a turning point, yet is neither on the side of the sharpeners nor on the side of the ascendants. What a contradiction. Neither of these can coexist… … .”
I flinched for a moment.

A formidable aura began to emanate from around Platy’s body.
The brows furrow.
What is this?
“… … You, no, you are an uncontrollable being. A true irregular. Yes, you are an irregular.”
Everything except the ground Platy was standing on began to take flight.
Stone fragments, severed body parts, and even traces of the massive Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Everything behind Platy’s back came to mind.
Phagectic.
Electricity surges from Platy’s body, accompanied by the sound of lightning crackling.
All the scars on his body disappeared.
The robe he was wearing also became clean.
“Your power is certainly formidable. Even though you split your soul, you still killed me, Platy, many times.”
Platy’s body disappeared.
I couldn’t feel anything, not even the movement of my feet or the flow of energy.
Platy was next to me, holding my shoulder with his right hand.
“Also, your recovery speed is incredible. I don’t mean just simple regenerative power.”
Bam bam.
My shoulder breaks under his hand. I swing my other fist hard.
but.
Kwaaaaang-!!
It bounced weakly off Platy’s other hand, which he swung lightly.
To be exact, it blew up.
“While I was lost in thought, you filled the empty vessel by about 5% or 10%. As far as I know, no one except the ascendants has recovered at that speed.”
First, I regenerated my broken shoulder.
There was nothing I could do because the Heavenly Sword was held in this arm.
But I just hit it from below.
Ugh.
Caught in Platy’s hands.
“Your swordsmanship is also amazing. It looks like you are swinging your sword roughly, but it was an attack that exploited only the momentary gap I saw. Even so, your sword changed several times as you approached. The one just now was no different. You changed exactly 22 times. 22 changes in this short moment. No matter how great your natural talent is, this level of swordsmanship would have taken at least thousands of years of swordsmanship.”
Platy’s arm was gaining strength. I, who was holding the Heavenly Sword, felt it clearly.
You’re trying to destroy this now.
He furrowed his brow and tried to pull the sword down, but it was too late.
Crunch.
The sword is cut in half.
That sword of the world, which I used so usefully on Titan, and which I can confidently say is the best sword I’ve ever used, was cut in half.
I’m getting angry inside.
That was when.
Platy’s hand reaches out. He tries to strike, but it doesn’t budge.
He grabs me by the collar.
Looking straight into my eyes, the bastard growled.
“… … Don’t climb up.”
“… … .”
“Talent like yours is rare. However, it is not non-existent. The ‘Sword God of the Beginning’ who disappeared long ago, the ‘Heavenly Lord’ who cut off more than half of the lifelines of the Chamsaeng, the ‘Destruction God’ who strongly threatened the stronghold of the ascended, and the ‘Six Path Immortals’ who dream big dreams that are not suitable for their subjects. All of these people have talents similar to or greater than yours.”
I listened silently.
“Don’t act like you’re looking down on the world from above. That’s all you are.”
big.
The platy from before was clearly not at full power.
It was hard, but I was able to kill him. I figured I could kill him without having to use all my strength.
Reflect on yourself.
It was a misjudgment.
It was strong.
Now, the floating objects behind Platy, the underground water, lava, mana storms rising from below, and even the fragments of dead souls left behind by nameless people.
The sight that unfolded behind Platy was hell.
Platy’s power was more than double what I had judged so far.
I have never seen anything like this.
Although it has a human body, what it contains is not a human being.
He was the emperor of all things, a star, and a god.
A mighty being.
Platy looked down at me with arrogant eyes.
“That’s it. I’ll play with you.”
however.
“I thought it was a turning point. But.”
why.
“Watching you use the relics of the Heavenly Lord, I began to have doubts.”
But why does it feel like something worth doing?
“The ‘9.9 billion life forms’ that I killed here in the past existed as nutrients for my split soul. That’s why I was ‘always’ able to divide 100% into a certain ratio.”
I looked at Platy silently.
“It means that even if some of the split shards die, I will always maintain 100%. There is no way you can kill me.”
Platy strokes my head with his other hand.
“There is no such thing as a real thing. You put in so much effort and strength to kill a soul that is divided into 20% and a soul that is divided into 5%. You cannot kill 100% of me.”
somehow.
I was wondering why my strength didn’t decrease even if I kept killing them.
Our Platy has been watching over us the whole time.
I had a strange feeling from the moment I killed him, but it turns out there was a reason for that.
I realized it anew.
The world is wide, and the world is wider.
Obviously this is Platy’s home ground.
I expected some degree of penalty, but I didn’t know it would be this much.
“You’re still recovering. How much have you recovered? 30%? 40%?”
This could be answered clearly.
“Just enough to kill you.”
“… … Truly, what a shameless child.”
Ignored it.
I said to Joo Sung-chul.
He said he’d finish it in 20 minutes.
It’s been about 12 minutes now.
8 minutes.
In 8 minutes, I will kill Platy.
He reached out and grabbed Platy’s arm.
[The feeling of the end of the year passing and the new year coming is faint.]
Knock knock knock.
Platy’s arm breaks. Platy’s expression crumples, as if surprised and as if he hadn’t expected it.
Silently.
I memorized the ‘word of wisdom’.
[Until the moon hangs high, their eyes wander back and forth in amusement.]
Platy tries to kick the seat behind him.
It was meaningless.
Because I reached out and grabbed Platy’s shoulder hard.
A storm is brewing.
Platy’s two eyes opened wide. The sight of me reflected in them was quite bizarre.
Because his hair was dyed white, his eyes were pitch black, and white smoke was spreading from his entire body.
Finally, I recited the spell.
[Draw a blade of grass in the narrow space (Draw a blade of grass in a narrow space with a diagonal line on a piece of paper).]
