Episode 637
Everyone makes mistakes.
And you can learn from those mistakes and get back up again.
Of course, I’m talking about cases where the mistake is a reversible one.
Is it possible to learn from mistakes, and even if the consequences are severe, can we create opportunities to move forward in a better direction?
There are many things to consider.
Valentine thought that Jack, now the emperor and her husband, had made a mistake.
No, before that.
“Shall I start by explaining?”
“What explanation?”
“It’s not like they blocked the Eastern Continent for nothing, they’re really angry right now.”
Jack, who was sweeping a huge tree in the garden, laughed at that.
“It’s a little unexpected.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There has never been such an oppressive approach to state affairs.”
Valentine sat down across from Jack naturally. They looked at each other. Jack was right.
Since Jack became emperor, Valentine has never for a moment said anything about Jack’s state affairs, such as, “Do this, do that, why did you do this and why did you do that, tell me the reason, etc.”
I’m not joking, I’ve never, not even once, told a story like this.
This is my first time.
Valentine said.
“Because I had faith that you would do well.”
“Not now?”
“It still exists. But this measure is completely incomprehensible. I know you intend to take responsibility for all the people in the Milos Empire. But I am not.”
“hmm…….”
“I value my son’s life more than the lives of all the inhabitants of this entire continent.”
Jack’s laugh becomes awkward.
“This is a bit disappointing. I feel the same way too.”
“That kind of person isolates the Eastern Continent where Daniel is? Even if Thanos and Cell are in there, what Ryu Jin, the Lord of Heaven, did is bad enough to remind us of the moment when we fought Ragnarok 20 years ago. Throwing Daniel in that place and isolating him is what you did just now. Aren’t your words and actions different?”
Jack shook his head.
“No, Valentine. It’s no different.”
“… … .”
“And let me correct one thing. When you say ‘my son,’ you mean ‘our son.’”
Valentine’s expression was still the same. An expression that sought answers.
Jack sighed.
The order is different, but it’s all the same. And Jack has never told Valentine what he’s been doing for so many years.

Jack thought for a moment.
It’s been a long time.
I didn’t think my actions were wrong. I was sure I was on the right path, just going in a different direction.
Daniel dies, Yang Bul-hwi dies, and Charlotte dies.
Many things happened, but they only exist in Jack’s memories.
No.
Although it wasn’t intentional, Cell remembers too. Jack told Cell that he would erase her memories.
Cell refused and Cell too joined this never-ending journey.
Seldo may be as tough as Jack, but if we measure the level of toughness, Jack’s is much higher.
Cell didn’t watch every single person around him die. Jack watched them all.
I watched everything and turned back time at the moment Daniel died.
Who will lead this world?
At this point, it’s Jack himself.
To be exact, it’s the emperor.
That’s the kind of position that an emperor is in. A position that leads everyone in the world.
The person sitting in that seat must be strong, have conviction, and not show it no matter how difficult the task may be.
That is the attitude of an emperor.
When the emperor wavers and shows weakness, the leopards from below will come crawling up, waiting for an opportunity. Small problems will grow bigger over time, and when they become too big to handle, civil war will eventually break out.
Jack has already decided on Daniel as his replacement.
The position of crown prince exists for a reason. If you are a crown prince, or rather, if you are the next emperor, you must have the power befitting that title.
Daniel was too weak.
As the current Emperor, Jack is giving Daniel, the next Emperor, a chance.
I trust my child.
Jack holds on until Daniel grows up.
No matter how hard and difficult it is, he has no choice but to endure. If it weren’t for this opportunity, Daniel would have a hard time growing.
and.
To be honest, there is another reason.
But Jack had no intention of telling anyone the reason.
But Daniel is not Jack’s only child. He is Valentine and Jack’s child.
This is our son.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make an exception for one person or so.
Jack, who had been silent, slowly began to tell his story.

This is the first time I’ve spoken to Valentine since I started turning back time.
and.
After hearing all that, Valentine stared at Jack with a speechless expression.

I thought carefully about Jack’s words.
Daniel died and time went back?
Not once, but more than a dozen times already?
Let me emphasize this one more time.
Jack told ‘the whole story’ to Valentine.
I told all the stories that Cell knew and also the stories that he didn’t know.
After hearing all that, Valentine closed his eyes tightly.
There was no feeling of resentment toward Jack or that Jack had become a monster or anything like that.
There was only one.
It’s a pity.
“… … You were the only one who was taking care of your son’s request.”
Jack still laughed at those words.
It was always like that from the first time I saw him. Jack was smiling. He was a person who smiled a lot. He was a person who tried to look at everything in the world positively.
Jack said shortly.
“I hope this is the last time. I really do.”
* * *
Hyukjin Kang’s sword stretches out. And at that moment, I had a strange experience. It was as if time had slowed down.
The sword of Hyukjin River seemed to come very slowly.
And that was only for a moment. In an instant, his sword became faster. He poured his spirit into the back of his hand and struck it out.
Kwaaang-!
What could it be?
Is it Hyukjin Kang’s technique? Or is it my senses that have been heightened?
Judging from Hyuk Jin Kang’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was aiming for me. He just swung the Heavenly Horse Sword in a big way. Hyuk Jin Kang took a step back and then kicked me straight in my direction. He then held the Heavenly Horse Sword in a counter-position and swung it down.
My Heavenly Horse Sword and Hyukjin River’s sword intersect in the air.
That was when.
Again.
It’s slowing down again.
He took a step forward. Hyukjin Kang’s sword really brushed past me by a fraction of an inch. Slowed time continued. His muscles moved. It was clear that he was going to change the direction of the sword and strike down. He swung his left elbow.
Before Hyukjin Kang’s sword could change direction, it struck his wrist with a bang. His arm flew back. It was a perfect opportunity created in a split second. Hyukjin Kang was truly flustered. He swung the Cheonmasin Sword just like that.
Crunch-!!
It’s a shame. I could have just cut off the neck completely.
Hyuk Jin-gang, who had been taking two steps back, swept his own chest. A long wound had appeared from the upper left side of Hyuk Jin-gang to the right pubic bone.
The blood flowing like crazy meant that the attack just now had hit the mark, and that if he had gone just a little faster and used just a little more force, he could have split the Hyukjin River in two.
Hyuk Jin-gang seemed genuinely embarrassed.
“… … Didn’t you say that you fought against the Lord of Heaven before coming here?”
Advertisements
“Yes, we did.”
“… … Cheonha Seongju Ryu Jin, in my memories he was a transcendent being of the realm of life and death. And recently he was a warrior of the realm of nature. And he was a man who had reached the end of the realm of nature, and although I hate to admit it, he was almost on the same level as me when I was about to die. And now he is competing with such a man and competing with me to this extent… … I don’t understand. And what on earth was that just now?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your movements were completely out of my perception for a split second. It didn’t seem like you did anything in particular, but it happened… … .”
I stared blankly at Hyukjin Kang, whose words were trailing off. Hyukjin Kang didn’t finish his trailing words. He just stayed still.
And that was enough.
I could vaguely understand what Hyuk Jin-gang was trying to say and what he was thinking at the moment.
He lightly clenched his left fist.
Crunch, an eerie sound rings out.
The time spent sparring with Hyuk Jin-gang was approximately 20 minutes.
Yeah, 20 minutes.
During those 20 minutes, I suffered numerous injuries and Hyuk Jin Kang suffered numerous injuries as well.
They regenerated everything and fought again, and that process took place over the course of 20 minutes.
Hyukjin River’s hidden power was weak, but it was definitely rough. The power to regenerate was not infinite, and it was natural for him to get tired if he used his soul energy again and again.
But now I’m not tired.
I clenched my left fist once more tightly.
Bam.
Far from being tired, I felt full of energy.
There were too many questions to simply dismiss it as an aftereffect of absorbing the Holy Spirit.
I could tell intuitively.
What does this mean?
When I felt like time had slowed down, it really had. I felt that way because I was moving outside of the time of this world.
I was constantly raising my level every moment.
From beginner to intermediate, advanced, and now top-level natural science.
To move outside of time means to be qualified to rise to that highest level once more.
My eyes are not like those of a moving ship, so there is no way I wouldn’t know the state of Hyuk Jin-gang, Ryu Jin, or Yeong-jeong.
These three are all strong men who were at the edge of the natural world.
And Hyukjin Kang wasn’t using his full power against me. He seemed to be resurrected and enjoying his new life.
The fact that Hyukjin Kang didn’t react means that I have reached a state where I am in touch with the magic nerve without even knowing it.
“Really… … . The growth rate is incredible.”
Hyukjin Kang’s body slowly began to radiate energy.
The energy was so strong that it shook the heavens. Every hair on my body stood on end.
Hyukjin Kang was at least one step ahead of Ryu Jin and Yeongjeong. He was definitely stronger.
“I don’t think I didn’t want to enjoy it. But I don’t think I can do that anymore. Look at me, Crown Prince.”
“I’m listening.”

“I’m really sorry, but this has happened before. Your father was just like that.”
“… … .”
“You grow rapidly while fighting. I think it’s a blood trait, but I can’t repeat the same mistake. From now on, I’ll make one move. I’ll end it with just one move. So if you have a will, say it now.”
I ended up laughing. I don’t intend to drag it out too long.
It’s a will… … .
“Go first. I’ll remember it.”
“… … It was a life full of regrets, but I am satisfied.”
“I heard you well. And I don’t plan on dying yet, so I don’t plan on leaving a will or anything like that.”
Hyuk Jin-gang burst into laughter, seemingly speechless.
“Haha, ah… … This guy, who would say he’s his son? He really is the same.”
Hyukjin Kang kicked his seat. His sword moved.
The world vibrated and space shook. It was as if a huge mountain was falling.
It was on a different level from the Hyukjin River battles we had fought so far.
One step up.
No, it was the most threatening attack I’ve ever seen in my life. I was sure my life would be taken away in an instant. I ran all kinds of simulations. Whether I blocked it, defended it, or attacked it while taking damage, in any case, my head flew into the sky and my body was crushed.
A flash of light flashed before my eyes. All the moments from my childhood, all the moments at the Academy, and all the moments I spent learning from my master.
That was when.
thud.
It was a sound I heard only in my head.
A white door appeared before my eyes.
* * *
The cell walked slowly.
The place of fierce battle.
Sel walked towards the place where Daniel was fighting Hyukjin Kang.
I walked along the sea without any disturbance.
The light keeps flashing.
Then, it stopped for a moment.
What could it be?
Should we have a conversation?
Because it was far away, I could see their faces, but I couldn’t hear their conversation.
I continued walking again.
Hyukjin River moves. Daniel moves too. Daniel seemed to flinch for a moment in the middle, but he didn’t pay much attention.
Sel looked at Daniel with a very complicated expression.
I wish this time regression would end.
Cell had been practicing continuously, and had already sensed it for himself.
Advertisements
No matter how much he struggles, Cell himself cannot go beyond the magic nerve.
From the beginning, I couldn’t see or feel anything beyond the realm.
It’s a limitation. I ignored that limitation and continued to practice, but there was still no answer.
But, Daniel is different.
Daniel can do it.
What Daniel needed was environment.
Daniel, who had lived as an administrator for over a decade, and Daniel, who had lived as a warrior, showed great differences from the beginning of their growth.
It’s still amazing.
Absorb everything from the opponent you’re fighting. And then go beyond that. It’s amazing.
and.
Soon, light split the world.
Oh my god-!!
The sound of a mirror breaking echoed. Beyond it, Cell saw the head of Hyukjin River rising into the sky.
And then, Daniel, who had landed on the sea, turned his head.
Cell and I made eye contact.
Daniel said.
“… …Why don’t you ask?”
“……what?”
“Why don’t you ask me if I remember?”
Daniel approaches, his leisurely gestures and relaxed expression.
Cell’s eyes opened wide as if he had been struck by lightning.
Up until now, Daniel has been seen as a ‘realm’.
But now it is not visible.
What this meant was simple.
Daniel is on the magic nerve.
Cell asked Daniel once more.
“… … How many times do you think this is…?”
“Forty-sixth.”
ah.
Daniel hugged Cell, her eyes turning red.
“I’ve kept you waiting for so long. I’m sorry.”
For the first time in a long time, Cell cried like a baby.
And at that moment, the isolation of the Eastern Continent was lifted.
