Episode 505
The swordsman smiled and said to Beckerman.
“Thanks to you, I feel a little better.”
“Ah… is that so?”
“And as I said before, your sword is slow.”
“ah…….”
“Let me introduce you to a nice man. He is a man who was once known as the fastest man in the martial arts world. Have you heard of him? He is the King of Sal-Wang, Shin-Woo.”
I have never heard of it.
When I shook my head, Geomjon burst into laughter.
He gestured to the wall guard Jeonghwa, who was waiting nearby. She approached him.
“Would you like me to call you King Sal?”
Jeonghwa was embarrassed by Geomjon’s words.
Why are you panicking?
When the doubt dominated Geomjon’s expression, Jeonghwa spoke softly.
“… … disappeared.”
“……what?”
“Salwang Shinwoo disappeared some time ago. We followed his traces and surprisingly found him in Seocheonseong.”
What was found here is a ‘trace’, not Shinwoo.
“What happened to King Sal-Wang Shin-Woo?”
“… … It seems like the Poisonous Queen Yeohwa and I have become ‘same-gwi-eojin’.”
My eyebrows furrow.
When I called everyone to Cheonwicheon last night, Shinwoo wasn’t there. I didn’t bother asking why he wasn’t there. I thought he’d come soon. But this is so unexpected. Why did he do Donggwijin with Yeohwa?
“Wasn’t this something that the Sword Master ordered?”
Of course not. That’s why I’m so embarrassed.
“… … Was there anything else that happened?”
“There was. It’s information that I found out when I was destroying Gaeboong. It’s said that King Sal-wang Shin-woo passed some information to Jin-woo, the Emperor of the Underworld.”
“What is that?”
“Information on the ‘Emperor’s Lady’ who killed Jinwoo’s son. Her destination, her location, and her appearance. She asked me to tell her everything.”
The swordsman’s gaze was focused on Jack Milos. What this means is that he was only watching what was happening to Jack Milos.
I didn’t care about that woman named Valentine, who was Jack Milos’ lover. It’s just that she came back now.
Poisonous King Yeohwa is one of the two pillars of the Sacheon Alliance. And the powerful Jinwoo is the Sacheon Alliance’s warrior.
“What is the Sacheon Alliance doing now?”
Byeokandanje Jeonghwa swallows hard. Because he realized that none of this was Geomjon’s intention. And because he knew that what he was about to say would get on Geomjon’s nerves.
I couldn’t help but say something. Whose orders did I dare to disobey?
Junghwa says.

“… … The private soldiers of the mighty Jinwoo have already finished arming themselves.”
“and?”
“… … We are preparing to set sail with 400 ships.”
“Departure… …? Where to?”
“The West, the land of the Emperor.”
I don’t know if they’ll be able to navigate that forbidden waters, but honestly, I don’t know. The circumstances are the way they are. If the circumstances are the way they are, there must be a reason for everything.
“If you’re talking about Jinwoo’s private army, you’re talking about an army of 100,000 people.”
“Yes. And the Sacheon Alliance also moved ‘together.’”
“together?”
It literally means that the Sacheon Alliance moved together.
“… … The Dark King’s subject is also heading to the Western Continent.”
“why?”
The Dark King himself was also a man shrouded in mystery. There is only one word that characterizes him: eccentric. No, there is one more: crazy.
“It sounds like fun.”
This meant only one thing: war.
It’s not a war between Jinwoo and the Western Continent, it’s a war between the Sacheon Alliance and the Western Continent.
This is it.
The swordsman felt uneasy. He didn’t know why he felt that way, but he was truly uneasy. An anxiety that couldn’t be grasped.
The suspicion that Jack Milos might be Ragnarok also originated from this anxiety. The world is moving. A flow is being created.
The swordsman raised his head towards the sky. He then closed his eyes.
This is the apocalypse.
Whatever is going to happen will happen, one way or another. That’s what inevitability is.
Though the beginning may be small, the ending will be grand.
How far can this small ball shot by King Salwang Shinwoo go?
They are attempting to invade the lands to the west ruled by Jack Milos. The puzzle that has been built up from below is now being put together.
Jack Milos is definitely the center of this world.
It made me laugh.
It’s not a laughing matter, but it just bursts out.
“Ha… … Hahahahahahaha-!”
He laughed like crazy. Geomjon Hyukjin Kang continued to laugh.

Are you Ragnarok?

It was a question that could not be dismissed as a joke. Above all, the expression on the face of the vice-religious leader who asked the question was unusual.
“Do I look like Ragnarok?”
“They may not look alike in appearance, but if you look at their actions, they seem similar, if not worse.”

“You can’t do it?”
“They say they built a tower with beggars in the open. It was thousands of meters high and pierced the sky… … Rumors like that are spreading throughout the martial arts world. Of course, it’s an exaggeration. There may be some beggars who survived, but if their corpses were thousands of meters high and pierced the sky, there’s no way we wouldn’t have seen it. Just.”
“just?”
“I built a tower of that height… … That’s what you can think of, but there have been countless people on this continent who have been called crazy. But I can confidently say that none of them has acted as radically as you.”
“That would be an honor.”
I drank the water without thinking much.
“There is something called the Apocalypse in the heavens and the earth.”
“Apocalypse?”
“It’s similar to a book of prophecy. Oh, but don’t misunderstand. Our Cheonmasingyo is not in league with Cheonwicheon. We just share the same goals.”
“Why are you saying that?”
“Just so you know, I’m saying. Cheonwicheon and I have no connection. We have never had any contact with each other, except for one exchange that happened in the past.”
“One exchange?”
“Yes. That was my exchange with Dharma, the 9th emperor.”
“Dharma?”
“You don’t need to know the details. He’s dead anyway. It would be easier to think of him as the ancestor who created the school of those who use the name ‘Daesa’ in the current martial arts world. Like Je-ryeong Daesa or Hwacheon Daesa.”
He shrugged. There was no reason to interrupt him when he was offering to give him the information.
“Keep going.”
“Yes, let’s continue. Then Dharma told us that he had written the Book of Revelation and was trying to read the last heavenly secret, but he felt that if he tried it, he would die.”
“So that’s why you came here to ask me to save you?”
“No. He said this. If I die, send one person to the Heavenly Heaven to hear the last part of the Apocalypse. Then tell it to the Heavenly Demon.”
“Is it really necessary to come and do that yourself?”
“Yes. Wouldn’t that be considered basic courtesy?”
“manners?”
“That’s the extent of the Cheonma Sect. It’s a position where the Emperor himself must come and make a ‘proposal’. That’s the position that the Cheonma Sect holds in the Eastern Continent. Of course, if we want to move Cheonwicheon, our Supreme Being will have to step forward. Just think of it as mutual respect.”
I ended up laughing.
“It seems that Cheonwicheon, who respects each other, is trying to get information about the Cheonmasingyo through open beggars.”
“So, do you think you got it?”
The vice-president was smiling. It was confidence. I admit it. This Cheonma Shinkyo is a group that deserves that level of confidence.
“All they got was the basic troops from the main gate, the back gate, and the east gate. They don’t know what has changed inside. They probably know my name. I was there when those rascals from Cheonwicheon begged for their lives. Well, I’ve digressed a bit, but if I were to continue… … .”
He shook his head.
“It’s good to finish it, but let’s skip over the private stuff. What was in that apocalypse that Dharma wrote?”
“It’s simple. Two visitors will come from the west. After that, Ragnarok will be reborn.”
“Oh.”
I became interested. But then I ended up frowning at the vice-principal’s subsequent words.
“Or.”

“… … or?”
A prophecy is a decision. In that decision, there should never be any conditions such as ‘or’, ‘or’, ‘if not’, ‘if that happens’. The moment those conditions are added, it is no longer a prophecy. It is just a prediction book dealing with probability.
“Um, can I continue talking?”
“Try it. Or, what next?”
“Or Ragnarok will be resurrected without you even visiting.”
He just kept his mouth shut. Is that a prophecy?
It seems to be similar to the prophecy written by the Dragon Lord in the Western Continent, but isn’t this a bit too unusual?
The vice-principal continues speaking.
“Both can happen, but they can’t both not happen. One of them has to happen.”
The space between my eyebrows becomes more furrowed.
Look at this.
“You noticed it from the look on your face.”
“If you don’t notice this, you’re in trouble.”
The vice-principal looks at me with strange eyes.
“I heard there was a rumor that he was a traitor. Is that true?”
“Oh. Right.”
“Then, does that mean that the prophecy of the Apocalypse is being fulfilled?”
“I guess so.”
“The Visitor has come and Ragnarok is resurrected… … You have done nothing but kill on this Eastern Continent. You have always fought and always killed. Also, the Apocalypse has always pointed to you. The Day of Promise, the Day of Judgment, it all refers to you. You are the center of the world. That is why.”
“So?”
“Can you say that you are not Ragnarok?”
Hahaha, I laughed. Hearing it like this gives me a really strange feeling.
Should I say it’s a little dirty?
“Cheonwol, the vice-religious leader of the Cheonmasingyo.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Should I explain?”
“… … .”
I wasn’t conscious of it. It just came out. My soul opened and the surroundings shook.
“You’re interrogating me like I’m chasing a criminal. The Emperor himself comes to ask for the opinions of the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
“… … .”
“If you want to ask the opinion of the Cheonma Shinkyo, you have to go to Cheonma? That’s why there was no communication?”
A soft smile appears on the lips.
“But why, is it that a mere vice-principal came in front of Jim?”
“… … .”
“The vice-principal really speaks interestingly. What do you want to hear from me?”

The vice-principal’s expression hardens.
“Should I kill all beings I see now and build a tower with their corpses? Your corpse will go into that tower, too. I can put your head on it, just like I put Gwangjon’s head on a stake. Is that what you want?”
“……first of all.”
“first of all?”
“Calm down. There was a misunderstanding.”
“misunderstanding?”
“Cheonma Shingyo is different from Cheonwicheon.”
I burst out laughing. What the heck.
“What?”
“The purpose of Cheonwicheon is peace. For that peace, we are trying to kill Ragnarok. The purpose and the means are different. Haven’t you met Geomjon?”
“We met.”
“If you ever meet me, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.”
It was certainly as the cult leader said. There was something strange about the organization called Cheonwicheon. They seemed to have come together for a single purpose, but strangely, each of them acted differently.
The swordsman who must stand at the top is strong. I could read his will. But the ones below him… … are different.
Why are you moving on your own? Are there factions within Cheonwicheon? Even if that’s the case, it makes no sense for you to move on your own. But.
If peace is the goal, it’s a different story.
If killing Ragnarok was a means to an end, not an end, then they might do some very ironic things to achieve that end.
“So that’s why you backed down so easily.”
“Peace is such a complicated word. Cheonwicheon is an organization full of contradictions. It’s a very dangerous organization. An organization that’s ready to do anything for ‘peace.’ It’s like a volcano before it erupts, and it’s in a very unstable state. The leadership of Geomjon, who unites and controls them, deserves full respect… … .”
Cheonwol burst out laughing as she spoke, perhaps because it was funny. Then she continued speaking slowly.
“There are too many of them. Even those losers have power. Those who act rashly sometimes… … If it were our Cheonma Sect, we would have killed them long ago. It’s a shame in many ways.”
I stared blankly at the moon. He smiled and said.
“As I said before, our Cheonmasin Church is different. Do what you want. And.”
“and?”
“Please revive Ragnarok.”
