Episode 552
Roman refused. He shook off Jack’s hand and followed Beckerman. And he spent 14 years with Beckerman here on the Eastern Continent. He also raised his level.
Roman Stewart is ranked 23rd in the Murim Seoryeolrok.
Thanos just kept his mouth shut.
A surge of energy began to rise from Roman’s body. It was anger.
It was obvious who the anger was directed at.
From now on, we have to talk about very realistic issues.
“Heynkes Beckermann and Sel were not meant to breathe and live together under the same sky. You must know that.”
Of course he couldn’t not know. There’s no way Roman wouldn’t know what Beckerman did in the past.
Even though the Tulcan Empire has fallen, there are still records left. If you don’t know, you should go out and die.
Roman asked.
“……so?”
There was no need to speak at length on this subject.
Beckerman, who tortured the young cell, is now a corpse.
What happened back then is now clearly a thing of the past and a story that has been concluded.
What I’m going to talk about from now on is not about the realistic, but about what’s happening right now.
Thanos asked.
“What are we going to do from now on?”
“I will get revenge.”
Thanos sighs.
“Does that really have to be the case?”
“I killed my teacher.”
“… … .”
“How shameful it would be for a disciple to fail to avenge his master.”
Roman turned his head, glaring at Thanos with blazing eyes.
“Tell Cell that it’s my turn now.”
“Your turn?”
“Cell is my enemy. Dragon Lord, right? I will kill her and all the dragons.”
“Do you think it’s possible?”
“You don’t know until you try.”
Roman was determined. Thanos read his will.
As I said before, this was a very realistic story.
And this is the result.
Roman vowed revenge and made it clear that he had no intention of living quietly.
Then there’s nothing we can do.

Roman was now a threat to the Milos Empire, and if left unchecked, it would surely lead to a greater disaster.
Roman is the seed of the conflict that is now blooming. It is so obvious that it is sprouting.
So Thanos decided.
What happened next was something Roman could not have expected.
It was almost like light.
Thanos’ sword is pulled out, and the sword is swung around, softly wrapped in the transcendent being’s unique spirit energy.
It was power, and more.
Roman could do nothing but open his eyes wide in the face of the flash of light that swept over him in an instant.
like that.
Crunch-!
Roman’s head shot up into the sky.

Cell was walking down a long hallway. The hallway was very simple, with hardly any decorations, which was also a characteristic of the couple living in this ‘castle’.
As far as Cell knows, the people living in this castle have little material desires.
When these two pick up a brush, they create the world’s greatest masterpiece, and when they stretch out their hands, everything in the world becomes theirs.
The two had everything in the world.
That’s why there’s no need for things like decoration. There’s nothing that’s not there.
Looking at it, Cell felt a strange sense of emptiness.
At the end of the hallway, there was a door. An open door.
I entered through the door. The man who was watering the flower pot turned his head.
The two eyes with thick double eyelids were as dark as pitch black.
This is the sky castle.
The man in front of Cell is the supreme ruler of all continents.
Emperor of all continents, a tyrant and a saintly king whom no one can object to.
Jack, it’s Milos.
“Are you here?”
Cell’s gaze turned to the watering can in Jack’s hand.
“Oh, this? You know that. Valentine likes flowers.”
So I was watering it.
Sel looked blankly at Jack as he spoke.
Time has passed like this.
I came back and cut off everything that was entangled.

I want to get closer, but why does it feel so far away?
“boss.”
“Uh. Why?”

“You look happy.”
Jack grins.
“Of course I’m happy. But you?”
“… … .”
“I’m really thankful that our cell has grown well, but it has become more reserved than before. That’s a bit of a shame.”
Jack paused for a moment, then placed the watering can down on a nearby table and turned his head toward Cell.
“Are you done?”
It may seem like a random question, but at least not to these two.
Cell nods. Because it’s over. Because Beckerman is dead.
Jack approaches slowly.
Jack reached out and patted Cell on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Cell bowed his head silently.
It was something I really wanted to hear, but strangely, I felt nothing. Why is that?
Is it because so much time has passed?
“You’ve really worked hard. I think you need some time alone. Would you mind giving me a seat?”
I shook my head. This is Cheon Gong Seong.
It is the emperor’s residence. Cell is a ‘foreigner’.
Even if he uses the name ‘Milos’, he is still a foreigner. His blood is not mixed with Jack’s.
Furthermore, he is a stranger who cannot have Jack.
Cell forced a smile.
“I’ll come again next time.”
“Okay, let me know if you need anything.”
Cell left the room like that.
I walked down the long hallway again and headed outside.
There was a bench on a hill with a clear view of the exquisite harmony of clouds and land, and Cell sat down there.
It seemed like the beautiful view would fill my heart with abundance, but it didn’t.
It was just empty.
A little boy approaches that cell.
“Master.”
In this celestial realm, and in this world, there is only one person who calls Cell ‘Master’.
The cell turned its head.
Height: about 160cm.
Current age: 14 years old.
His appearance reminded Sel of the moment when she first saw Jack.
Advertisements
It was that similar. No, it was the same.
Cell’s eyes turn slightly red.
Yeah, that was the beginning.
Sel will never forget that first moment, that moment when his life itself changed.
Jack may have thought of Cell as his beloved son, but Cell is not.
Cell really didn’t think of Jack as a parent.
I couldn’t think about it. I had it in my heart so deeply since the first time I saw it.
The boy who looked exactly like Jack when he was young said.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Then he handed the glass he was holding to Cell.
Everyone knows that Jack loved fruit juices since childhood, especially tomato and lemon juice.
Valentine likes whiskey, Charlotte likes blood, and Thanos likes meat.
Cell liked the blended melon.
The glass the kid just handed me was filled with melon blended tea.
Cell, who accepted it, looked at the child with strange eyes.
“Daniel.”
“Yes, Master.”
The cell remained still for a moment. Daniel just quietly watched the cell.
Although he was clearly 14 years old, Daniel was mature for a child his age.
I waited there without saying anything.
Cell smiles awkwardly and shakes her head.
“It’s nothing. Thank you.”
Cell turns his head. Looking straight ahead again, Cell didn’t notice the subtle change in Daniel’s expression. Or maybe he did notice but pretended not to notice.
Cell was quiet. He felt everything as Daniel came and sat down next to him, looking straight ahead, but he didn’t say anything.
The two sat side by side on the bench and looked straight ahead.
The two sat quietly, looking at the scenery that could not be captured in a picture from the highest point in the world.
Cell opened his mouth.
“Why aren’t you going?”
“I don’t want to go.”
“… … .”
“I just wanted to be here.”
Daniel leaned back against the back of the chair.
“Now, you’re not going to sleep?”
Aren’t you kidding?
“what?”
Advertisements
“It’s a nightmare.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you plagued by nightmares every day?”
“That’s right.”
It is definitely true.
But it was difficult to give a definitive answer. The reason was not special.
“I can’t check yet since I haven’t fallen asleep yet.”
Sel took a sip of the blended drink and placed the glass down next to the bench.
“Does it not suit your taste?”
“No way. The taste was great. It’s just that I feel a little empty inside.”
That was exactly what it said.
Cell felt really empty inside, even after eating his favorite melon.
Daniel speaks to that cell.
“Isn’t sleep originally supposed to be a process of recovery?”
“That’s not wrong.”
“Now that you have cut off the source of your nightmares, you will be able to sleep comfortably. Then, your empty heart will also be filled.”
“… … I wish that were true.”
It was all what Cell had wanted. He probably wouldn’t have any more nightmares. That was for sure.
It was instinct and intuition, but sometimes it turns out to be the right answer. This was just one of those times.
Daniel continued.
“I don’t really like being compared to my father.”
“okay?”
“Yes. I know that my current appearance is almost identical to my father’s appearance when he was young. And when my father had this appearance, he saved you from the lab.”
That’s all true. Daniel doesn’t like being compared to Jack that much.
It wasn’t that they didn’t get along or anything. His father was too high up in the hierarchy to be compared to him. Daniel was young, but he wasn’t arrogant.
Daniel turned his head and met Cell’s eyes, who was looking at him.
“I won’t worry about it today.”
“… … .”
“I know my father well. If it were him back then, he would have said this.”
The Jack of today is like the Jack of the past.
But the cell of today is not the cell of the past. As time passes, many things change. Cells in particular have changed even more.
At first, I thought the feelings I had for Jack were based on respect.
But it wasn’t.
Before I knew anything, before I realized what I felt for Jack. All those moments with Jack, and the feelings I felt for Jack before I realized my own feelings for him.
Besides, everything Jack said and did.
Advertisements
I wanted to feel all those things.
I wanted to feel it again, even though it would be difficult.
Just now, inside the Sky Castle, Jack said, “You’ve had a hard time.”
The heart sometimes goes beyond reason.
It’s not that I didn’t like what he said. On the contrary, I really wanted to hear it. But it didn’t fill me up much.
Because I can’t have it.
Because it now belongs to someone else.
Because if you try to have it, you lose everything.
So it was empty.
Daniel said, I don’t like being compared to my father, what would my father say if he were me back then, what would he say?
