Episode 546
The more advanced they are, the more they are reluctant to die. In fact, that was natural. Even without that, the more power they exert, the more their innate energy disappears and their lifespan shortens. How did they get to that level? They have subordinates, they have positions, they have power. How many people in the world can give that up?
I want to live long, I want to use this strength more.
The thought itself becomes unconscious.
The desire to live longer is itself a desire to improve one’s own level.
Most of the unmanned people of the Eastern Continent, as well as those of the Western Continent, grew in that way.
So what if we think about it the other way around?
Can a warrior who does not care about his own life, is always prepared to die, and continues to fight without fearing death itself become stronger than those who want to live long?
This is an impossible example. No one in history has ever fought, risking their life, all the time, every moment.
Because he died a violent death before his name could be engraved in history.
Even the great Asura and Ragnarok, who defeated Asura, lived in an age of war. However, they were born with talents that allowed them to completely command the world.
In a world thousands of years ago where the strong were rampant, he possessed overwhelming talent and ‘naturally’ rose to the top.
You can think of it as dragons being born with a magic called the Spirit of Word. The starting point itself is different.
So what about Jack’s talents?
It may seem like an overwhelming talent, but Jack’s talent was strictly speaking similar to that of Cheonma or Geomjon.
That’s great, but if you compare it to Asura or Ragnarok, it’s a pitiful level. Jack didn’t get to this point with mere talent.
It was an example that fit the sample mentioned above perfectly.
I’ve been fighting for my life every moment, growing every moment while expending my lifespan. I’ve been fighting and fighting again.
I lived like that, begging, “Please kill me.”
It wasn’t long before Jack was afraid of death.
If we’re going to be exact, it’ll only be about a week or two.
I’m not talking about the period after the simple regression. I’m talking about Jack’s entire life.
What if I can’t spend more time with Valentine, whom I met again like this? I want to see him more, and I want to be with him more.
Except for that one or two week period, Jack had never feared death for a single moment.
Cheonma and Geomjon are the true powerhouses and rulers of the Eastern Continent, where the strong are raised. Cheonma is 55 years old and Geomjon is 63 years old.
Jack, who fought on equal terms with them and ultimately emerged victorious, is only 34 years old. Even if you count him at the most, 35 years old is still ridiculous.
Cheonma and Geomjon learned martial arts since they were young. Jack started learning when he was 18.
Jack went from the extreme of natural scenery to the extreme of magic scenery in just 16 or 17 years.
It’s ridiculous compared to the fact that Cheonma and Geomjon have been training for at least 40 to 50 years.
How surprised must Ragnarok have been? How did he grow up with such talent? How did he surpass the Asura of the past?
Ragnarok was genuinely embarrassed.
Pfft-!
Jack’s fist lands in his face. He reaches out and lifts his leg to strike the bastard’s chin. Crunch.
The two bodies are pushed backwards.
Ragnarok’s face was crushed and Jack’s jaw was burst. Naturally, their bodies regenerated.
Advertisements
This regeneration, strictly speaking, was different from the regenerations that had occurred so far.
Even Cheonma and Geomjon could regenerate their bodies.
As we reach the natural realm, we become one with nature and are able to draw on its energy, so we stimulate the cells of our body with it again and again. This is how we have regenerated up until now, returning to our original state in an instant.
But Ragnarok and Jack’s rebirth were different. Really different.
Because each of their body fragments that had been shattered and blown into the air returned to their original bodies.
The process happens so quickly that it just looks like regeneration. It’s not regeneration.
It’s a regression.
The expression “going off track” is not used for nothing.
The level at which the two men stood was that level.
A being whose existence itself is the world itself.
A being in which thoughts themselves are manifested and which has become mana and even the power of the soul itself.
Ragnarok licks his lips with his tongue.
The more I thought about it, the less I understood.
Occasionally, it does happen.
Those who attain enlightenment in an instant and skip two or three stages of realm.
But the natural world and the magical world are different.
Those two realms are polar opposites in themselves.
In that state, it is theoretically absolutely impossible to skip more than two steps.
Just one.
If we assume that it was originally in that state, then maybe. It might be possible.
“… … Was it me who turned back time, or was it you?”
[Does it matter?]
“It’s important. Otherwise, your current growth would be nonsense.”
Jack naturally stretched out both hands and swept his hair up. His blood-soaked hair fell back.
A smile appears on Jack’s lips.
[I didn’t know, but I guess I’ve been taking a shortcut all this time.]
“……what?”
Jack’s smile deepens.
[Even if you tell that to a frozen human baby, he’ll never understand.]
The frozen human cubs mentioned here, of course, refer to Ragnarok.
[A kid with such a strong will to live is going to be given a thousand years of life? Where on earth does that kid sell medicine?]
Ragnarok had clearly said, come under me.

In return, he will give you a thousand years of life.
That didn’t mean he was going to hand over his innate talents.
It meant to make her a chimera, and to separate her mind from her body so that she could think. It was similar to cooling the brain, and you could think of it as Valentine’s body turning into a doll. It was true that he sold her the drug. Jack just noticed it.
Jack’s hand tightens. Crack.
Kwaaaaang-!
He kicked the seat. He swung the greatsword, Oman, in his hand.
The sword that was flying through the air suddenly stops.
Advertisements
The hand of Ragnarok was holding arrogance.
To be exact, Ragnarok’s left fingers were holding the blade of the Sword of Arrogance, digging into it.
Damn, there’s a crack in the sword.
Ragnarok stretched out his leg and struck Oman.
Kwaaaaang-!! Fragments of the cracked arrogance fly in all directions. Jack kicks the air in the debris. Of course, he doesn’t dodge or anything. He steps over the debris and approaches Ragnarok.
This is a war of attrition.
It’s a game where the first one to get tired loses.
Stretched out his legs.
Kwaaaaang-!! It pierces deep into Ragnarok’s psyche. The bastard is pushed backwards. Jack, who was trying to clear his legs and prepare for the next attack, flinched. Because Ragnarok’s hand was holding his legs.
And then just threw it away.
Kwaaaaang-!! Ragnarok flies towards Jack, who is stuck in the wall nearby. Jack quickly stretches out his hand to regain his balance and jumps away. Their bodies are entangled in the air. Fists and fists strike each other, feet and feet strike each other. Blood spurts out everywhere. Body fragments also explode in all directions.
In an instant, Jack’s leg touched the ground. He turned his body to the side. He raised his leg and struck Ragnarok’s flying fist while keeping it in his right side.
Kwaaang-!! Ragnarok’s head rises into the sky.
It would have been a shame if that had been the end. Jack’s body spun around and wrapped around Ragnarok’s arm. And then, with a bang, he pulled it out.
Ragnarok’s body sways. Jack’s leg hits Ragnarok’s head. Kwaaang-!
Ragnarok, who had fallen down, stretches out his fist on the other side.
It was a well-timed attack and a very sensational one.
But I read it.
This time, Ragnarok’s fist grazed Jack’s side. Jack folded his arms and grabbed Ragnarok’s arm. He extended his leg and struck Ragnarok’s leg. Ragnarok fell to the ground. Towards Ragnarok’s face.
Kwajik-!!
Jack’s fist slammed down.
fall short of.
Kwajik-!!
One more time.
Kwajijik-!!
Just as he was about to strike again, Ragnarok’s head shot forward.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A simple but sure attack: a headbutt.
Jack’s body flies backwards. Ragnarok kicks away. Mana swirls around his hand. Ragnarok, who quickly approaches Jack, swings his fist.
Jack’s face, facing straight ahead, Jack quickly crossed his arms.
Black energy meets black energy.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
The water spray rose. Jack, who had crashed into the sea through the uninhabited island, sank deeper into the sea.
Jack’s two arms were gone. They had disappeared just moments ago while blocking Ragnarok’s attack, and they had regenerated in an instant.
That’s why I said you’re not human.
Advertisements
Now it has become the world itself.
A being whose very existence moves the world and distorts cause and effect.
He became a god.
I suddenly wonder. What would it be like if my neck were to fly off?
I was sure right away. I might feel dazed for a moment, but I didn’t think I would die.
Then I hear something in my ear.
Kwung. Thud.
A loud noise erupts from the western continent, towards the port of Rotterdam.
I locked eyes with Ragnarok, who was quite far away, sinking in the sea.
I said I wouldn’t take my eyes off him.
I think it might be okay to take it off for a little while.
I leaped through space without hesitation.
* * *
Prepare for battle with the giant chimera.
The maintenance was complete and everyone rushed at the approaching chimera.
Arrows fly, spirits stick to you, and countless magic spells, including explosive magic, pour down.
The chimera didn’t even flinch.
Wounds? They could be inflicted, but they quickly regenerated.
It was a monster itself.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Kwaaaaang-!!
Crunch-!!
Among them, Yoo Je-ha, Hyeol-ma, and Yoo Seol-ha with a spear and Hyeol-ma’s subordinate Oh Pan-seok were the most unique.
Fly around and attack, and rescue the unmanned people of the Western Continent when they are in danger.
The air force’s performance was outstanding overall.
It was then that Valentine, who had been quietly watching, reached out his hand.
A skull symbol appears behind her back. It was her trademark microphone.
The skeleton opens its eyes. Light pours out of the empty void. A black light.
Phew-!!
It pierced both of the chimera’s legs.
The chimera falls backwards. Valentine clasps his hands together.
[Hell, fire.]
A huge fireball appeared in the air. The dragons behind it all cast Hellfire in response.
Dozens of small suns appear in an instant.
They all came down at once.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Advertisements
Everyone covered their eyes, including those nearby.
The smoke clears.
And the sight that was revealed was simple.
The chimera stands up without any injuries.
That was the end of it. In fact, it was expected.
Hundreds of thousands of chimeras of absurd strength, united as one.
To hit a valid target, you need to be at least a Transcendent level, but there aren’t many Transcendent level players in this position.
The moment I thought that, a light burst from the sky.
Everyone looks there. Even the chimera raises its head.
There he was. A man wearing only trousers.
His eyes were black. The moment they saw him, everyone held their breath. The Emperor.
Jack Milos is in heaven.
He kicks the seat. Chimera reaches out to the sky.
Jack’s body moved in a zigzag motion, kicking the air once, twice, and then again. After dodging all of the Chimera’s attacks, he stretched his arms back. He landed on the Chimera’s head and threw a punch.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
The chimera exploded. Debris flew everywhere. It became a sea of blood.
Then, black energy spread out in all directions from Jack’s body.
It covered the lower body of the chimera, which was only half-remaining, and was compressed as is.
That was the end.
Surprisingly, really surprisingly, the chimera died.
Jack looks up. He is looking at one person. Valentine.
After meeting her eyes, he smiled lightly. A black shadow appeared next to Jack’s head. It was a split second.
Kwaaaaang-!!
It happened in an instant, Jack’s head snapped to the side and he flew away.
Where Jack had been just a moment ago, there was another man.
Naked man.
His hair was long. He looked human, but the two horns on his forehead told us he was definitely not human.
Everyone gulps.
Dare I say, just looking at it makes me feel like my very existence is being swallowed up.
“The Emperor has more luck than I thought.”
Many people fell to their knees at his single word.
It’s not like I’m supporting him or anything. I’m just being oppressed.
I was just suppressed by an existence that was different from anything else, an existence that didn’t even make sense.
Ragnarok smiles, as if he is satisfied with everything. And a shadow falls next to his head.
It was the same as before.
Advertisements
Kwaaaaang-!!
Ragnarok’s head tilts back and his body flies away.
Jack was there.
Jack spits into the sea and turns around again.
Look at the teacher, look at the children.
[Get in. Everyone.]
Those who had been hesitant due to Ragnarok’s presence stood up. It was clear to me that Jack was now standing on the same level as Ragnarok.
Everyone stepped back. Valentine was one of them. However, Valentine was looking at Jack with a slightly puzzled expression.
In such a short period of time, it has grown.
Does that make sense?
Fundamentally, I was worried.
Jack smiled as if he had guessed the thought. He smiled and turned his head again. Ragnarok was flying towards him.
Jack also kicked his seat. Ragnarok swung his fist. It was an attack that compressed space and pierced through the compressed space. Jack’s left hand grabbed his arm.
Kwaaaaang-!! I didn’t even care about the shock wave.
Jack swung his right hand. Like Ragnarok, it compressed and pierced space. Ragnarok reached out and grabbed Jack’s wrist, blocking it.
The subsequent actions were identical.
The two of them pushed their heads forward strongly as if they had made a promise.
butt.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Their heads were smashed together. Even in that state, they did not let go of each other’s hands.
Jack’s leg was lifted up. Ragnarok raised his knee to block. Crunch, Jack extended his other knee. Crunch again.
Ragnarok laughs.
Jack buried his head in that smiling face.
Kwaaaaang-!
“Big.”
Ragnarok’s eyebrows furrowed. Jack laughed at that sight. Then he put strength into his arms. Crack, crack.
Ragnarok, with his forehead crushed, opens his eyes wide.
Was this man’s strength this… …strong?
Surprisingly, really surprisingly, Ragnarok’s arms were folding.
Jack had the upper hand in strength.
That’s ridiculous.
Ragnarok, his eyes wide open, kneels on the spot.
I raised my head.
Jack’s eyes were still black. A brilliant light continued to shine from those black eyes.
I could tell for sure.
Compared to before, the glare in his eyes has become darker.
Advertisements
Jack put strength into both hands.
Kwajik-!
Ragnarok’s two arms were shattered. He swung his regenerated legs like whips.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!! Ragnarok’s body flies far away.
Jack closed his eyes there.
It would have been nonsense if I hadn’t noticed my own change.
I could feel it.
The white door that I had seen until now, the slightly open door, was now about to open.
I walked slowly. I walked out, stepping on the sea.
Ragnarok was looking at Jack from afar.
Jack thought.
They say that every road in the world has a shortcut. There is a degree and an apostle. There is light and there is darkness.
I have always taken shortcuts up until now. It was not intentional. It happened naturally, as if it was inevitable. Now that I have seen the end, I realize it. Manryuguijong.
Death means losing everything.
Having the power to rule the world and yet being prepared to lose everything.
Taking one’s own life.
Among those who have reached a certain level so far, no one has taken their own life. In many cases, they have died in battle and had no choice but to do so.
Was it simply resistance that prevented the Transcendent from becoming a Death Knight? No. Now it all makes sense.
They crossed a line that should not be crossed.
Because the unprepared transcendents took the shortcut, side effects occurred and conflicts arose.
Jack, who had always walked that path, was ready to take the right shortcut.
He took his own life and became a corpse, becoming a Death Knight.
Death is just the beginning.
Process and cause are intertwined. Necessity is created and cause and effect are fulfilled. To gain, the greatest is given up.
Put down life, which is fair to all living beings in the world. You can have everything only if you are prepared to put everything down.
What you lose is your life, and what you gain is the whole world.
Heaven and earth and heaven and earth above, infants alone.
Creak, the door is fully open.
The light spread throughout the world.
