#Episode 57
I walked along the sandy beach for a while.
It’s been a while. I have this much free time.
I liked the cool breeze and the feeling of digging into the sand with every step I took.
The wind blew my coat as it came. My hair also blew. The sun was shining. It was warm.
There are similar places on Titan, but still, Earth is better.
“Is it different from that of Titan?”
I slowly turned my head.
It was a man. A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance.
As far as I know, he’s over 60 years old, but he’s quite fit.
It was a strange feeling.
“It’s just like my inspiration. I owe you a lot.”
“Now that you mention it, I wonder. What was John Edward Carter, the man whose face I borrowed, like on Titan?”
“Well, he was just an ordinary old man. He was good at handling things, and he was really good at acting. He acted in a theater company and even took over the theater company. He was a fun old man.”
I smiled and started walking again. A man came up next to me. We walked along the sandy beach together, with the same stride as me.
“It’s more comfortable to live here than you think. It’s also a beautiful sight, so it’s a pleasure to the eyes. What happened to that old man who was good at handling things?”
“Well, I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s dead or alive, but he went missing at some point.”
“You might be alive? I guess you’re not the only survivor.”
“As far as I know, there are about five people who are thought to be alive, but the rest are dead. I even checked the bodies.”
I stopped walking slowly.
“I realized this when I came in here. There was a barrier set up. It looks like you prepared a lot.”
“I’ve done a lot. The space I’m in right now has nothing to do with the barrier.”
John Carter looked at me and smiled.
“I like crazy people like you. We’re enemies, but we have to be polite to enemies like you. Isn’t that right?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“I think it’s a joke.”
“Am I the one talking?”
“Yeah, you.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Rather, I would like to ask. Why should we respect a being that borrows the face and name of someone who is already dead? Enough with the rambling. It’s unpleasant to look at, Inma.”
“Hehe, aside from being an interesting guy, he’s got quite a sharp mouth. Now, let’s get to the point.”
“Okay, let’s get to the point. What’s your name?”
“The sixth apostle is Gandharva.”
“Yes, Gandharva. Why did you reveal yourself like this when you had already set a trap?”
“Didn’t I say this before? It was to show you courtesy. You must have realized it was a trap a long time ago, but you are so bold as to come alone. I like people with guts like you.”
“He was crazy.”
“Hehe, are you the only one who can do it?”
“By the way, I heard that John Carter has a lot of children. What about them?”
Gandharva makes a face as if asking why he is asking such a new thing.
“Is there any reason to keep him alive?”
“Couldn’t it be? In Jeong Hyo-ju’s case, her family seems to be quite alive.”
“That’s because it was ‘helpful’, so I kept her alive. An ordinary housewife, a son who was a bum who went to auditions in Hollywood every day, and a child with Down Syndrome that the son had when he was young. Oh, and by the way, she also had a daughter who was a model. She was addicted to drugs and always begged me to buy her drugs. If you were me, would you keep her alive? She’d just be a nuisance.”
therefore.
“Killed them all?”
“It was all settled at once because of the helicopter accident. It seems like you have some kind of small hope, so I’ll tell you clearly. Do you know what the first mission given to the apostles when they descended to Earth was?”
“What is it?”
“It’s called clearing out the surroundings. In simple terms, most of the families you knew on Titan are dead. The exceptions are those who can be helpful, as I mentioned earlier, and those who can be watched, like the unique Awakened. Otherwise, they’re all dead. Are you curious now?”
“More or less.”
“Now it’s my turn to ask what I’m curious about.”
He shook his head.
This was enough.
He just swung his fist.
Ugh.
He is stopped by Gandharva, who raises his wrist.
“… … What does this mean?”
“What does that mean?”
I lifted my foot and kicked it out.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Gandharva, who was hit in the stomach, is pushed backwards.
“You don’t need to know anything. You’re going to end up a corpse anyway. Right?”
He raised his head.
“… … Ha… … . Now that I look at it, there’s no such thing as a separate baby sheep.”
I thought about it seriously.
Is that a compliment?
* * *
John Carter, or rather Gandharva, still stood on the cliff, looking straight ahead. Soon a yacht came into his sight.
The yacht stopped in the middle of the ocean. Soon a man jumped off the yacht and landed on the sandy beach of Larson’s Beach.
Until then, Gandharva could only look at him silently. There was a good reason for that.

“… … This is amazing.”
The existence of an apostle is already different from that of a normal servant.
Of these apostles, those who received the name of elders are, needless to say, superior.
In the eyes of such an elder, Jin Shihou was a monster in itself.
Beings who have reached a certain level usually harness their own power.
If you don’t trim it, it will destroy the ground just by walking around on it, injuring or killing anyone it touches.
It is natural to be a slave. Gandharva also controls his own power and controls all the other apostles. If you can’t even control that much, you should go out and die.
The same goes for Jin Shi-hoo, who is walking around the sandy beach. Jin Shi-hoo also gathered his energy.
However, the power that flows out softly despite the pressure is simply unbelievable.
I should say that I was in for a huge shock.
Gandharva could see the power flowing out of Jin Shihou’s body and spreading out in all directions.
The manas of the void resonated with Jin Shihou. Everything around him was responding to him.
Nature itself, the distortion itself, leisurely walks through the world so peacefully.
Every moment felt and perceived by the skin was a shock to Gandharva.
‘Can such a being exist?’
I felt similar to someone I had seen before.
I got goosebumps. And, strangely, I felt a sense of elation.
Gandharva’s hands become wet.
I ended up laughing at the same time.
You should be confident. It would be stranger if you weren’t confident at that level.
I kicked the seat. I wanted to talk to this guy and have a go at him.
and.
Pfft-!!
I just got hit in the stomach.
It’s being pushed backwards.
Contrary to his abilities, he is unpredictable.
Jin Shi-hoo is seen running towards you.
He crossed his arms.
Kwaaaaang-!!
I was pushed backwards. Both my arms were twisted.
It felt like I had lightly punched it, but it wasn’t absorbed or even bounced off.
It just all fell apart.
“… … It’s a monster.”
“You guys look more like monsters.”
His speaking skills are also top-notch.
As has been mentioned countless times, the apostles are different in their nature.
The realm they are in is different from that of ordinary people. Since everything is different, the conditions for their ‘power’ to be properly released are also different.
The first technique was merely a comprehensive technique. It was a sorcery, and also a type of witchcraft.
What Gandharva used to hone his own power was sorcery.
The time has come to release all your power.
This man is not someone who can be dealt with while hiding his power. The barrier I had set up behind me was meaningless. I never imagined it would be at this level.
Then it’s done.
John Carter silently reached out his right hand and grabbed his own heart.
Fuzz.
My heart is bursting.
[Expansion of territory.]
[Zen without time, Zen without place.]
A burst of light came out.
Jin Shi-hoo, whose eyes had been wide open, soon hardened his expression.
like that.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Blood sprays into the air with a loud noise.
The one who flew far away was Qin Shihou, and the blood that sprayed into the air was also Qin Shihou’s.
* * *
I rolled around the sandy beach a couple of times.
Hahaha, it makes me laugh.
“Wow, what is this?”
Suddenly, he burst his own heart with his own hands, and I thought, “What kind of crazy person is this?” So I paused for a moment.
so.
I was a little late in reacting to the guy’s subsequent attack.
No, how should I explain this?
The bastard’s attack was also quite extraordinary. I raised my head.
I see Gandharva stretching out his right arm towards me.
There was a hole in the right arm itself.
That’s why I’m confused.
“There’s a hole in your arm. Doesn’t it hurt?”
“What difference does it make if you know?”
“Yeah, nothing’s changed… … .”
Light gathered in Gandharva’s two hands. It was brilliant.
Soon.
Paaang-!
I rolled to the side before the burst of light reached my body.
I glanced to the side.
The sandy beach had disappeared.
The power is real.
It was simple.
Gandharva was ‘releasing energy’.
When you gather your energy in one place and gather it again, your power increases.
Gandharva’s hand turns towards me again. Light gathers. I snap my fingers before the light hits me.
[White Lotus Sect’s Sevenfold Law.]
[Chapter 1. The Battle of Pacheontanji.]
My Zitan and Gandharva’s light collide in the air.
Kwaaaaang-!!
It is offset in the air. Without hesitation, he kicks the seat. I see Gandharva’s face. I see his face with his mouth open.
I clenched my fist.
Hururuk.
White flames burn.
I just threw it out there.
[White Lotus Sect’s Sevenfold Law.]
[Chapter 3 Blood King’s Right to Kill.]
Before I could reach my face, a burst of light burst from its gaping maw. It touched my fist.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The arms are thrown back. Gandharva’s face is also thrown back.
They were pushed back by each other’s bulletproof power. They didn’t stop.
He spun his body in the air and swung his feet.
Pfft …
Only then does it hit the bastard’s face.
The bastard flew far behind. The moment my leg touched the ground, I took a step forward without hesitation.
The space is distorted. In front of me is not a sandy beach, but a cliff. I look to the side. Gandharva is flying towards me.
It was simple. I got here before Gandharva got there.
I reached out.
The face of the Gandharva flying towards him was caught and he was thrown into the cliff.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The cliff collapsed. I saw Gandharva looking at my face through my hands.
“Why? No matter how much I look at you, you’re still handsome?”
“… … What are you?”
“What the heck, the return of the Titans.”
“… … Is it true that you are the only living test subject among the test subjects?”
I blinked for a moment.
This seems like something has been reversed.
He let go of his hand. Gandharva’s eyes lit up. Light gathered in his mouth as well. It seemed like he was going to shoot something out again like before.
He just swung his fist.
Pfft!
Gandharva’s face turns to the side.
The light bursting out of the bastard’s body struck another spot. He swung his fist once more.
Kwaaaaang-!!
This time the bastard is pinned to the ground.
Naturally, I got down on one knee and strangled the bastard’s neck.
“That’s how surprised I am when I see a puppy dog in the mirror.”
“……what?”
“It was a line from a movie about detectives and drug dealers. Keep listening. Why would the dog be surprised?”
He grabbed the bastard’s face again with his left hand. He looked down at him and continued speaking.
“I thought you were a human being, but you’re actually a f*cking dog.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that a really impressive line? No wonder I remember this line even when I’m on Titan. You’re doing it now.”
