My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 354

< Rapidly changing situation (3) >

It didn’t take long for the entire clear sky to be covered with black clouds that appeared from unknown sources.

Kugu Palace—

Even the seasoned and hardened demon cultists who had been through many hardships couldn’t help but look up to the sky in that sudden situation.

Even though Beijing is notorious for being a place with a devil’s paradise, I’ve never heard of such a strange incident occurring.

“···That?”

Cheon Gi-ma-seon Yul-hwan, who was busy preparing for the ceremony, also looked up at the sky with a hardened face at the obvious abnormal phenomenon.

Dealing with the climate was not something that could be done on an ordinary level.

And to bring about such a dramatic change at such a fast pace…

A list of possible causes for this phenomenon quickly ran through his mind.

But in the end, there is only one target left.

Didn’t you hear about this phenomenon that’s happening right now just a little while ago?

Since I haven’t seen it in person and only heard about it, I thought it might have been somewhat exaggerated…

“Adversary.”

An unidentified monster that called itself the Demon King, killed the Heavenly Demon and took over the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and then devoured the remaining base there.

The appearance of unexpected variables heightens his alertness and sharpens his senses.

‘···This isn’t a phenomenon simply caused by magic. It’s a dense magic that even forces natural phenomena. How can magic of this purity exist in this world?’

His sense of crisis, sensing the serious energy filling the dark clouds, sounded the alarm.

It was a power that was closer to the origin of the concept of death, not just magic, and at that level, it was something that should land you in the very bottom of hell that you only heard about.

But then something like that was walking around the world in broad daylight…

Kurururung—

But the situation did not even give Yal Yuhwan time to come up with a plan.

His eyebrows twitched as he felt the special connection he had maintained to communicate with his subordinates outside of Beijing being torn apart.

“Huh, a formation…? Wait a minute. Are you sure you’re using those clouds to build a formation in the sky?”

Disruption of space due to artificial elements.

Now, those under that pitch-black cloud could neither ask for help from outside nor go outside without the sorcerer’s permission.

A gasp escaped his lips at the manifestation of a mystery of such an absurdly large scale.

[“Indeed, you have quite the eye for detail.”]

And as if answering his monologue.

An unfamiliar voice echoed throughout the space.

[“Kuuuuuuu— I never would have guessed that everyone would really be gathered here.”]

A sinister laugh that sounds like it came straight out of hell.

Their gazes, which had been turned towards the sky, were forcibly fixed on a certain point in the air.

It had to be that way.

Creepy—

How long has it been there?

Under a sky covered with dark clouds.

There was an absolute being that lorded over the world and looked down arrogantly on the earth they were on.

“······!”

“···Hmm.”

Those who recognized him and his overwhelming presence, as if the density of the space was different, took a few steps back without realizing it.

Even the Minds who had undergone hellish training and even some kind of treatment to eliminate their fear were no exception.

A stiff, rigid body, cold sweat running down, and goosebumps all over my body.

It was not simply a life-threatening crisis, but an instinctive response to an unknown threat that stimulated the soul.

[“Okay—then.”]

In that silence, where the cold air feels so palpable.

The being opened its mouth again with a humorous tone.

[“Come and entertain me, you lowly insects.”]

It was the moment when the Demon King from another world and the last remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect met.

***

There is an image of the final boss that is often roughly depicted in the media.

Not only does he have overwhelming charisma, but he also has a sense of weight, so he doesn’t move carelessly and leaves most of the work to his subordinates.

‘In fact, there are capable subordinates, but it’s not good for the boss to personally take care of each and every one of them. It’s also inefficient in many ways.’

And that’s exactly what Hans was looking like right now.

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Master of the Sealed Sword!”

[Kukkakakak!]

“Huh, what the heck is that? What kind of harmony is this!”

[Kill! There is only death for those who do not follow the king!]

“What the…! Not only are you using the martial arts from your previous life, you’re even maintaining your ego?”

[Kill him! Kill him!]

A large-scale war that broke out out of nowhere in the middle of an uninhabited magical realm.

Mines and undead clashed, and jiangshi clashed with jiangshi.

Even in the midst of such chaos, Hans was quietly nodding his head while leisurely observing the situation with his arms folded.

‘I still don’t get it. It feels like something might happen, but it doesn’t…’

Hans the Immortal was a very special individual among the Avatars.

The power he possessed was the highest among all Avatars, but his true value was not limited to his personal fighting prowess.

A vast army of undead under his command as the Lord of Death.

His true power was not simply his large numbers, but his immense power that reached the pinnacle of transcendence, not to mention extremes.

In fact, wasn’t it because of such abilities that the previous Immortal Kings were able to conquer the continent?

‘Of course, unlike the Outerica that inherited the legacy of the previous generation, there are limits to the undead that can be used in the Ganghwan world where the foundation is not yet established···.’

But now that too is a thing of the past.

The Cheonmasingyo is known as the greatest, strongest, and worst force in the Gangwhan world.

By absorbing even the Blood Cult, which was considered one of the best in the world, and swallowing up their power that had grown even larger, he was able to completely satisfy what he had been lacking.

“Ugh, it’s breaking through! Hurry up and send in more zombies!”

“That’s ridiculous! Our school’s martial arts are the best in the world! If the level of materials were the same, there’s no way we’d be inferior… But why, why is there such a big difference?”

“No, but isn’t that a monster skeleton made by our school? It must have been made using the same process, so what’s this difference!”

It seemed that the shock was as great as their pride in being the best, as the sorcerers of the Demonic Cult who were handling the zombies all screamed and tore at their heads.

It can’t be helped.

It was natural that when they clashed with jiangshi that looked to be of similar level, only the jiangshi they were handling were being unilaterally destroyed.

‘I’m sorry, but it’s not the same.’

To be exact, the material was exactly as they thought.

Most of the zombies he was using now were those that had been piled up in the Gaehwa Palace of the Cheonmasingyo sect’s headquarters.

The difference was due to the presence or absence of additional processes that followed.

‘If I could use Auterica’s magic potion, I would be more perfect, but not being able to use it is not a big problem for this body. Above all, I also have the power of the abyss, which is virtually omnipotent against the undead.’

Anyway, the process of using reagents was not very suitable for mass modification work.

Now, the abyss that can be handled like hands and feet has been injected into the zombie and strengthened through the use of necromancy.

That was the whole story of what was happening right now.

‘Plus… I also gained new abilities along the way.’

– Individual name: Hans

-Race: Undead (Immortal King)

-Common traits: “Mind Hub”, “Persona”, “Super Strength”, “Nervousness”, “Xenoglossy”, “Sturdy”, “Limit Breakthrough”, “Imitation”

– Individual characteristics: “Immortal Heart”, “Unholy Sage”, “Forbidden Truth”, “Path of Magic”, “Eye of the Abyss”, “Magic Domination”, “Lord of Reverse Heaven”

-Special Note: He inherited the ‘Heart of Immortality’ containing the essence of the abyss and became the Immortal King, a disaster of the Auterica dimension. As he awakened to divinity, a weak divinity began to sprout. All restrictions on the undead were eased due to the ‘Lord of Reverse Heaven’.

“The Lord of the Reverse Heaven” was an ability he acquired while studying the corpses of the Heavenly Horse and the Secretary, and later began to work in earnest in that field to create corpses.

A skill that greatly assists in completing the Karma Zangshi and reforming the Zangshi of Gaehwa Palace.

Undead under this influence will now have a high resistance to divine powers, which are considered weak points.

‘···And maybe later on, we’ll be able to bypass the dimensional barrier and transport the undead from another world to another place.’

I don’t know if the acquisition condition was gaining divinity as an undead, mastering the undead crafting method of another world, or both.

It wasn’t such an important issue anymore.

“Huh? It finally happened.”

Because of that skill that eases ‘all’ restrictions, I can now do things like this.

“Huh? Huh? Kkaaaak—!”

“What?! Why is our zombie suddenly···!”

“That idiot has lost control! Everyone, wake up! If you feel like it’s not going to work, use the Dark Soul Scroll! If you’re not careful, all the zombies will go over to that side!”

The cultists’ camp turned into a battlefield in an instant.

Some of the groups of zombies that had been gathered on one side turned around at the same time, and several of the shamans who had been giving orders just a moment ago were torn to pieces.

But that was only for a moment.

As the black flames burned from the talisman taken out by those whose control was wavering, the hacking of the zombies that had been proceeding smoothly began to falter again.

‘It’s a consumable that temporarily increases control. Well, that’s good. As the difficulty level goes up, the speed at which proficiency increases will also increase. Let’s see how long I can hold out.’

In fact, their capabilities were already far beyond our expectations.

This is the heart of Beijing, also known as the Demonic City.

It was once a blessed land where the dragon’s heart was and was the center of the world, but now it was a cursed land that had become a black hole that sucked in the energy of the world.

“Hmm, but no matter how I look at it, they don’t seem to be greatly affected by that.”

It didn’t matter to me since I didn’t use energy in the first place, but aren’t they all beings of this world?

However, Hans, who was quietly observing their energy using the “Eye of the Abyss”, soon learned the reason.

‘···I see. Is that also the effect of sacrificing a dragon child? Come to think of it, it was said that the internal energy of those who fought against the demonic cult at the Shaolin Temple was shaken.’

It seems that this too was an extension of that.

For a moment, his senses scanned the surroundings as he glanced at them with narrowed eyes.

‘Found it. Jegal Hye-mi and Ju Kang-in are both safe. And there are others too… A total of seven people? You’ve gathered quite a lot.’

Of course, since we had to find the dragon children anyway, it was a good thing that it saved us some trouble.

After confirming the location of the target, he turned his gaze and looked elsewhere.

To where the strong are.

All the masters of the Demonic Sect who had been dispatched outside the main temple, including the one-eyed old man and the Demon Sword Master whom I had once encountered at Shaolin Temple, were here.

Not only humans, but also high-level zombies that were taken outside.

‘That’s… I see. Is that the jiangshi that Princess Gaehwa created using the blood horse? There must be five or six jiangshi of the same level as Hwagyeong. How long did they prepare for this?’

It is a world where conflict is constant and death is an everyday occurrence.

In a world where even masters who would not have died easily in a peaceful state are often caught up in fights and die.

It wouldn’t have been that difficult to obtain a high-ranking body.

‘And the author is the Demonic Cult’s military officer, Cheon Gi Ma Seon Ya Yul Hwan.’

Hans’ gaze turned to the person looking up at him with a stern face.

An old man with a long, pure white beard and a god-like appearance.

But the power that was vaguely felt within his body was never easily visible.

No matter how you look at it, the amount of energy was more than a thousand horses.

Even considering that he was a sorcerer and not a warrior, it was a bit excessive.

“I see. You’re not human.”

Hans was able to figure out the cause without difficulty.

The corners of Yal-Hwan’s mouth twitched at his words, which he blurted out while looking down on her arrogantly.

“Hahaha, we’re both the same. Isn’t it true that you’re not human either? No, you’re worse. It looks like you’re not even alive.”

The old man’s pupils, which had turned bright yellow, split vertically and emitted a strange light.

Even Cheonma barely noticed it after the fight had progressed to some extent, but Hans tilted his head when his elaborate disguise was immediately seen through.

“Hmm? Could it be a dragon? Why is the dragon in the Demonic Cult and not in Geumodo?”

“I have something to say. You seem to be from another world, but why did you come here? This world is already falling apart. There’s nothing you can gain.”

A situation where only questions continue without any answers to each other’s words.

As the conversation continued to draw parallel lines a few more times, Hans’ expression slightly frowned.

In fact, it was rather strange to simply answer the questions asked by the enemy.

In other words, this conversation right now is extremely natural and there is nothing strange about it.

I am fully aware of that fact.

however···.

‘···Are you feeling a little angry?’

Although he has tended to appear easygoing due to his image as an absolute powerhouse, strictly speaking, his patience was not that long.

In most situations, I figured out the answers myself, so there wasn’t much need for patience.

‘Come to think of it, why am I having a peaceful conversation?’

If there’s an answer you want, why don’t you force them to spit it out?

If that doesn’t work, you can try opening your head as usual.

Hans, who had regained his original intention by pulling himself together, nodded heavily.

There was no need to delay any longer.

‘Come out.’

At the same time as his will is moved.

Gulp—

Before I knew it, the ground below, covered in shadows, began to tremble loudly.

And immediately after that, a figure slowly walked out from within, as if cutting through the darkness of the floor.

‘Cheonma.’

With a face and figure that were very familiar to those present, yet impossible to recognize.

The bodies of those who had been watching the strange phenomenon that suddenly occurred froze in the unexpected situation.

“It’s been a while, soldier.”

“···The leader? I heard he died···.”

“Where did you hear that nonsense? I think it would be best to rip out the tongue of the guy who brought me that information. Isn’t he so perfectly fine?”

His soldier, Yelü Huan, was no exception.

Cheonma, who looked exactly the same as he did in life, raised the corners of his mouth and looked around.

As if to show off his health to his frozen subordinates who looked this way.
