#Episode 49
however.
Ugh.
Jeong Hyo-ju grabbed my fist with her regenerated right arm.
The laughter doesn’t stop.
From the first time I saw her, I knew that this woman was no ordinary person.
But surprisingly, he grabbed my fist.
I didn’t know it would be this bad.
“… … ‘He’ just told me to watch. But he made it so I couldn’t just watch.”
The way of speaking has also changed.
That thing with Jeong Hyo-ju’s face spoke in a small voice.
[First Immortal Technique.]
[Chapter 1 Spatial Isolation]
In an instant, the space is shaken.
Didn’t resist.
Into that world, ‘we’ were sucked in.
* * *
Hong Hyun wiped his face.
Who is that guy?
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been this flustered in my life.
Jin Shi-hoo.
I’ve been thinking that something has changed recently.
They say he was hospitalized after being involved in a gas explosion, but he’s doing fine and walking around.
He is embroiled in several murder cases.
It is even said that he took three people to Busan’s S-class gate and buried them there not long ago. The Jin Shi-hoo that Hong Hyun knew was not that kind of person.
He is weak and terrible at writing, but he insists on becoming a writer. Should I call him a loser of a person?
Although he didn’t say anything, the old Jin Shihou had been involved in several incidents and accidents.
He was caught using drugs with actresses twice, was caught red-handed in a club twice, and even filled the military sang section six times, showing off his toughness.
It might be a bit inappropriate to just call this human waste. Human garbage.
The sore finger of a hero named Jinsong.
What on earth has happened in the past few days?
Maybe it was the gas explosion, something changed since then.
There have been so many questions, starting with the recent summons to Jinsong’s house.
Hong Hyun asked that question to Chief Secretary Yoon Young-soo, but Yoon Young-soo did not answer.
‘That’s not an answer I can give you.’
Yoon Young-soo is a man who strictly follows his public and private life.
‘Just know one thing. He is absolutely not someone who will harm us.’
I just believed that. So I just stayed still, and wow.
First time seeing this.
An absurd technique that instantly knocks out multiple S+-rank awakened users with just a snap of a finger.
“… … Brother, isn’t it time you explained it now?”
I approached Yoon Young-soo and asked him a question, and he spoke with a slightly nervous expression.
“As the Master said earlier. Doppelgangers, apostles who have hidden in our human world.”
“Other than that, Jin Shi-hoo… … No, Mr. Jin Shi-hoo.”
“I’ll explain that later. For now, go to the Master.”
Hong Hyun nodded. Then he approached Master Jin Song.
Jinsong opened her mouth without taking her eyes off Jeong Seongju.
“As I said before, I brought you here to gain experience.”
“What kind of experience are you talking about?”
“We’re talking because there’s only us anyway, but that Jeong Seong-ju in front of you isn’t human.”
The strike leaders, including Hong Hyeon, could not hide their puzzled expressions.
Not human?
No matter how you look at it, he’s still human?
“Because we couldn’t figure it out, it has naturally seeped into the human world until now. I was fooled, too.”
Jinsong began to tell a light story. She said that there was a planet called Titan, and that 10 years ago, 200 people were sucked into it.
And while telling the story of how 200 people were sucked in and 200 apostles came down to replace them, Jeong Seong-ju was just staring blankly at Jin Song-i.
“I’m sorry to say this, but you are no match for that apostle.”
“… …Master!”
“I’m not ignoring you. I’m just stating the truth. Just watch for now. I’ll give you a chance to ‘spar’ soon.”
They didn’t understand what this meant. Neither did Jeong Seong-ju.
Jinsong walked slowly. When the distance between her and Jeongseongju was exactly 3m, Jinsong stopped.
Jeong Seong-ju said to her.
“It’s quite a sight.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it’s amazing. From the return of the Titan over there to you, everyone is completely unaware of the current situation.”
Jinsong couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Situational understanding? That’s an interesting statement. Have you ever been given information or an opportunity to understand that?”
“… … .”

“We don’t care what you do hiding among humans. Whatever your purpose, you are still our enemy. Do you know what I mean?”
“You’re stupid.”
It was the first time in a long time that I heard that.
“Right now, I’m giving you a chance. Just step back. And convince the Titans who are returning over there. Don’t you understand?”
Jinsong was truly surprised.
“… … This is disappointing. Are you begging for your life right now?”
“… … .”
“and…….”
Jinsong-i closed her mouth without saying anything.
The words that came to the tip of my tongue were, ‘This is fun.’
I don’t know which apostle the one in front of me is.
But one thing is certain, the current Jinsong is stronger than that apostle.
Jinsong felt that way herself.
However, the apostle in front of him was completely unaware of the current situation.
It means that you can’t read Jinsong’s power itself.
This was a discovery of another meaning.
Monsters who use the Escape Room don’t properly recognize the beings who use the energy of Mother Nature?
It’s a fundamental question.
Did those apostles really reach that level through their own ‘effort’?
It’s a feeling, but I don’t think it’s true.
Other than that, I don’t know much.
Jinsong asked.
“Are you feeling okay? You got beaten up pretty bad earlier.”
“… … .”
“Wipe off the blood. I have something else to think about.”
I really had something to think about.
My brother said.
There is definitely a connection between this system and the apostles.
Maybe they are the same being, maybe the system is the leader, or maybe they are in an antagonistic relationship with the system.
I was in a state where I couldn’t be sure of anything, but now that I look back, it seems strange that we aren’t communicating with each other.
Let’s think about it.
It is a fact that the apostle in front of you is of low level and cannot perceive Jinsong’s power. However, it is not the system.
The system knows. If those apostles were servants of the system, they should have heard the news of Jinsong’s second awakening.
But no matter how much I look at it, it seems like I don’t know.
A little more confirmation was needed.
Jinsong stretched out his hand. Ten spheres of light rose into the air.
It immediately emitted light.
Jeong Seong-ju stepped back with a frightened expression. It was clear that he was embarrassed. But.
It’s already too late.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
Pieces of bone and flesh fluttered in the air. Jeong Seong-ju flew far away. Jin Song-i jumped from her seat toward him, who was covered in blood.
Thump!
My heart was pounding.
Your eyes become clear. The world becomes clear.
The energy of Mother Nature seeped into her body. It was thick. A radiance covered her. A huge flame that could engulf the world was created in her fist. It stretched out.
[Yeomyangshinmagyeol (炎陽神魔訣)]
[Chapter 1: Purple Yang Magic Flame Palm.]
It directly hit Jeong Seong-ju’s forehead as he stood up from his seat.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Once again, Jeong Seong-ju flew far away.
Jinsong stops attacking. Jeong Seongju, who had flown far away, or rather, a monster that looked like Jeong Seongju, stands up.
His body was a mess. Jinsong’s fist mark was clearly engraved on his forehead, and his face was almost ashen.
“… … That’s ridiculous… … . How could you… … set foot in that area!”
Jinsong-i became certain of her thoughts as she watched the screaming man.
The system and the apostles should not be identified.
It’s not a communication problem.
It is right to view them separately.
And, the ‘second awakening of the awakened’ is a level very close to that of the ‘lower apostles’.
“Which apostle are you?”
“… … This is the 199th.”
He nodded.
It wasn’t for nothing that Jinsong noticed the 200th apostle’s discomfort.
Even before becoming a transcendent being, Jinsong was already capable of going toe-to-toe with the 200th apostle.
Now, the second awakening has been completed.
199th?
There is no way they can be a match.
This is enough. Nothing more is needed.
Jinsong kicked the seat again. The 199th apostle raised his arm. A ‘red light’ energy began to emanate from around his body. It was meaningless.
Jinsongi floats ten spheres. She puts them all into her right hand at once.
It just stretched out.
It collides directly with the spirit of the 199th apostle.
Oh my gosh-!!
With the sound of a mirror breaking, the 199th apostle slumped to the ground, spitting out blood. Light descended upon his body in an instant.
He raised his head after completing the playback.
And he could see.
Jinsong’s heel being struck down towards the face.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The 199th apostle’s body dug into the ground with a loud noise. Jinsong-i struck it down with her fist.
Kwaaaaang-!!
One more time.
Kwaaaaang-!!
He spread out both hands and floated ten spheres in front of his nose.
“Okay… … Wait a minute… … .”
The 199th apostle’s plea to stop was ignored.
All at once, the spheres of light emit light.
Pubbubububububu-!!
An eerie sound echoed from inside. It was simple.
It’s Jinsong’s victory.
Jinsong slowly snapped her fingers.
The body of the 199th apostle, which had been stuck on the floor, rises. His body was limp, as if he had no strength to regenerate.
Psik, Jinsong ended up laughing.
“I guess it’s because you’ve been pretending to be human for 10 years, you’re a good actor.”
The 199th apostle raised his head with difficulty.
As Jinsong said, the 199th apostle is not completely exhausted. He is just acting like it.
One move.
For that one move that will turn the situation around.
He said.
“… … We don’t have to fight.”
“Why?”
“I can’t say that. But our purpose is related to the revival of humanity.”
“What’s the basis?”
“… … Is there only one ‘Jinsongi’ in this world?”
At this part, Jinsong flinched.
“Is there only one ‘Jin Shi Hou’? A doppelganger? Ha, you don’t know. Now, ‘Stories Unfolding from the Stars’.”
“I’d like to hear a little more.”
“I’ve said everything I wanted to say. We… … can help each other… …!”
The 199th apostle rushed forward. His fingertips were engraved with the ‘Escape’. Mana is weaker than natural energy, and natural energy is weaker than Escape.
According to that law, it is normal for the natural period to be eaten during the de-marriage period.
But Jinsong believed in her younger brother.
My brother said.
A properly awakened natural energy is stronger than something like a half-assed escape.
If the regular spirits don’t match, there’s no way the proper power will come out.
Jin Shihou has been saying this consistently.
‘Those who can’t even use the power they have properly.’
That’s a doppelganger. They are completely capable of being dealt with by those who have fully awakened their natural energies. Like Jinsongi now.
Jinsong extended her right fist that she had been clenching.
The fists of Jeong Seong-ju, who is full of the spirit of escape, and Jin Song-i, who is full of the spirit of nature, meet in the air.
like that.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A loud noise that shook the entire space rang out, Jinsong took a step back, and the 199th apostle was pushed back three steps before collapsing into his seat.
I’m completely drained of strength.
Then it’s done.
Jin Song-i, who had grabbed the 199th Apostle’s horn and walked towards the Salvation Guild’s core force, dragged him along.
He threw the apostle at them as they stood there blankly.
“I’ve already killed them halfway, so let’s take turns dealing with them one by one, starting with the team leader.”
