Episode 496
This is unprecedented.
There were those who touched on the opening. It is a famous anecdote that even the Emperor of Sura knows: the battle between the Golden Horn of Seocheonseong and the opening.
The total number of open-minded people who rushed to Seocheonseong at that time was 700,000.
Two hundred thousand of them died.
With the sacrifice of those 200,000 people, Gaebong was able to reestablish its position in the martial arts world.
No one touches the openness. No one has touched the openness for decades, except for those crazy guys called the Cheonmasingyo.
Those at a certain level, at least those who were kings, were annoyed by it, and those below them were afraid of it, to varying degrees.
It’s not that I was afraid of 700,000. At that time, 700,000 was not the number of all the beggars. Because of the distance problem, only those nearby were mobilized, and even at that time when the number was 700,000, the number of beggars was expected to be at least 2 million.
And immediately after that, the opening gained momentum at a tremendous rate. It was so fast.
Now it’s not just 2 million at most, it’s at least 4 million, or even more.
The Eastern Continent is vast. There is no place in this vast land where there are no beggars of the open. Even 4 million is an underestimate.
And the number of open beggars currently being mobilized to the archery range is a whopping 2 million.
Beggars from nearby cities, villages, mountains, and everywhere were mobilized.
It was as distant as an ant. That was the extent of the beggars surrounding the palace.
The beggars tighten their grip once more. The baton is gripped with all their might.
I walked. I climbed the mountain.
Millions of people climbed the mountain to the palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was cold. It was very quiet.
The current name of the Ark of Openness is Byeongangjae.
Byeon Gang-jae is now leading the elite of the Open Movement and coming here. It will take at least a few more hours, so the one currently commanding them is Byeon Ma-jae, the vice-minister of the Open Movement and Byeon Gang-jae’s younger brother.
The demon moved. Life surged from his entire body.
It has been more than a few decades since the Golden Horn was defeated by the Gaebang. Byun Majae did not live through that time.
So now this situation is exciting.
Emperor of the West.
Amazon Jack Milos. He is the monster who destroyed the Jeongcheon Alliance.
If we kill him, the reputation of Openness will be raised again. Also, the names of the current Openness leaders and vice leaders who killed him will be engraved in history.
I got greedy.
The walking, open-air drones are now running.
So we arrived at the palace. There was a main gate and a wall, but no one paid attention to those things. Everyone was leaving. Those who were running with martial arts skills climbed up the wall.
As they entered the palace, they stopped for a moment.
It wasn’t a warning from instinct or anything like that.
My mouth is wide open.
Because something absurd existed right before my eyes.
There was a tower made of corpses.

At the top of the high tower, which was soaked with blood, was a stake with a man’s head impaled on it.
Even though his head wasn’t in good shape, all the open beggars knew who he was.
As an organization that deals with information, it makes no sense to not know something.
A man who was a former master and former leader of the Open Church.
One of the best martial artists in the world who competed for the title of best in the world.
Light source material.
His neck was found impaled on a tower of corpses.
“This… this is outrageous… … .”
“Huh… … Your Majesty… … .”
Everyone is muttering. What was boiling just a moment ago is nowhere to be seen.
And through their thoughts a man’s voice is heard.
“Jim made a promise.”
Everyone’s heads turn.
There was a man under the tower of corpses.
The man sitting on an ordinary chair with his legs crossed is Amazon.
He continued speaking slowly.
“I will build a tower with the corpses of beggars and decorate it with the head of the Buddha by driving it into a stake… … I promised that, so how do you like it?”
“… … This wicked bastard-!”
The Ma-Zone’s gaze shifts towards the growling Byun Ma-Jae.
“Is that a sentiment? This tower will become taller with your corpses. Is that really all you have to say?”
After that, Byun Ma-jae did only one thing.
I raised my hand.
The beggars of openness raised their spirits. They lifted the baton.
Ma-Jon nodded and stood up from his seat. Byun Ma-Jae shouted.
“Beat that wicked bastard to death-!!”
“insect-!!”
At that moment the heavens opened up.
The beggars who had been rushing towards the open market stopped.
Because from the sky… …a huge, flaming sword poured down.
“Ah… … Ahh… … .”
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!

“… … So, this place called the Eastern Continent was the beginning of the world… … Are you saying that?”
Geomjon seems to think for a moment and nods his head slightly.
“Considering the context, it would be safe to say that this is the beginning.”

“… … .”
“Why? Don’t you believe it?”
“… … What you just said is something that no one will easily accept.”
Hyuk Jin-gang nodded as if to say that that wasn’t wrong.
“Ragnarok… … So are you waiting for that existence?”
“Yes. In fact, there was a ‘prophecy’.”
“A prophecy… … is that what you are saying?”
The sword master smiles slightly. There is no way he would have led the organization called Cheonwicheon without any basis. He led it for a reason.
“There is a book written by the 9th emperor, Dharma. It is called the Book of Revelation, and it is written there.”
Beckerman was genuinely curious. What the heck.
“What was written?”
“There’s no need to go into detail, so I’ll just say the important part. The exact phrase is this: ‘1580 years later in martial arts time, two men will visit the Promised Land, and after that, the resurrection of Ragnarok will be brought forward.’”
Beckerman and Roman’s expressions changed strangely as they listened. Because it seemed like there was more to it.
It was just as I felt. Hyuk Jin-gang continued speaking slowly.
“‘Or Ragnarok can be resurrected without visiting. Both can happen, but they can’t not happen. One of the two is bound to happen.’”
The cave was filled with silence. In fact, all conversation between them had ended.
Beckerman and Roman told him everything about what Jack Milos did on the Western Continent and what kind of man he was, while Hyuk Jin-gang told them about the Eastern Continent.
After that, Geomjon started talking about Cheonwicheon because he was bored, and it came to this point.
Beckerman had a feeling that something was coming to his mind. That apocalypse.
“How reliable is this so-called Apocalypse?”
Strictly speaking, it was not related, but Beckerman was curious. And Hyuk Jin-gang spoke to Beckerman without hesitation.
“100%.”
Said.
Rather, Beckerman was puzzled.
“100%?”
There are countless things in the world that cannot be certain. I didn’t think that a sword master of that level would not know that.
The thought is clearly revealed in his expression.
The swordsman laughed.
“Have you not questioned the reliability of this apocalypse?”
“… … .”
“This apocalypse is 100% true. Because every single ‘big thing’ that has happened in the martial arts world so far is written in this apocalypse.”
“… … .”
“There were times when Cheonwicheon intervened. But we mostly just watched. Why would we go into hiding? Why would we disappear from the world of martial arts? For hundreds of years, the verification of this apocalypse has been ongoing. And those who sit on the throne of the emperor, including ‘Hasoso’ who gave me the throne of the emperor, and ‘Yuma’ who gave her the throne. None of them doubt the apocalypse. It’s real.”
Hyukjin Kang leaned against the wall, folded his legs, placed his arms on his legs, and rested his chin on them.
“Most of the contents of the Book of Revelation are written in detail, such as what happens in what month and what year of the martial arts calendar. However, the parts about the ‘Promised Land’ and the ‘Visitors’ are separate.”

“Are you talking about the resurrection of Ragnarok that you just mentioned?”
“That’s right. Both can happen, but only one can happen… … Also, these two things cannot avoid happening… … All emperors of the past have been puzzled by this sentence.”
“Didn’t you just say that you don’t doubt the Revelation?”
Hyukjin Kang bursts into laughter.
“I don’t doubt it. I just found it curious.”
“amazing?”
“The fact that even the Apocalypse, which predicted everything about the future, cannot be certain of anything means that the ‘subject’ of the content is far superior to Dharma, who wrote the Apocalypse.”
It was a bit tricky, but I felt like I had the hang of it.
“That statement that it is far superior… … .”
“What more could there be to hide? Dharma wrote that last verse and ended his life. It’s not that he didn’t have much time left or anything. He squeezed out all his life to write this last part.”
Beckerman and Roman look at each other. It looks a little complicated.
Hyukjin Kang organized it neatly.
“The price for that last content was Dharma’s life.”
“ah…….”
“Do you understand now?”
“… … Yes, I’m going.”
“Two men visited the Promised Land. I don’t know if it was you or the Emperor, but no matter how I look at it, it’s not you two. It’s the man named Hong Po-shin-gun who came with the Emperor. Those two are definitely the men from the Book of Revelation. In other words.”
“… … I guess this means that the absolute being called Ragnarok will awaken soon.”
Hyukjin Kang nodded.
Above all else.
“The emperor has gone against the heavens… … The rumors are probably true.”
“… … It’s unbelievable, but in fact, his powers can’t be explained otherwise. He’s… … so young.”
The reason why the last part of the Apocalypse written by Dharma was split in two.
This is the answer.
The Emperor has reversed the course of time. In his perspective, this means that there are two times. In his previous life, Ragnarok was resurrected, and in this life, it will be resurrected. He is the key. He is the center of this world.
He holds everything.
All questions were answered. Hyuk Jin-gang could feel it. I am the last emperor.
The Heavenly Heaven ends in this generation. Ragnarok will definitely be resurrected sooner or later.
I laughed. It was joy, it was definitely joy.
Hyuk Jin-gang, who was smiling like that, turned his head away. His eyes were asking Beckerman. A look that asked if he understood why he had been having this conversation all this time.
Beckerman nodded. Roman nodded too.
He could have asked with his eyes one more time, but Hyuk Jin Kang didn’t.
I just wanted to say it.
“Would you like to come into Cheonwicheon?”
“… … I’ll go in if you promise me one thing.”
Advertisements
“You promise to tell me all your secrets? Heh heh.”
Hyuk Jin-gang must really like Beckerman and Roman. He asked with a smiling face.
“Okay, give it a try. What exactly is that promise?”
“I will kill the Emperor of the West. It is my master’s final command.”
“Um… … I don’t know much, so I’m asking, but is it really necessary to kill the emperor?”
“What are you talking about?”
Hyukjin Kang sweeps his chin.
“Why don’t you just kill the people around him? The things that make him sad the most, the things that make him the angrier, that should be enough.”
