Episode 234
God’s Way (3)
He loosened his tightly clenched fists.
The noise caused by the battle disappeared in an instant and silence came for a moment, but that silence was soon broken.
“big… … Wow. Cough.”
<Youngsaeng>, lying on the floor, coughed blood. No, the title <Eternal Life> no longer suited me. Because he was no longer alive.
He spat out blood and then took a deep breath. Afterwards, his breathing stabilized a bit. The deep breath seemed to help a little.
“Cough. It’s impossible to get up. “It’s unsightly.”
Takujin tried to get up, but it was impossible. He doesn’t have much strength left anymore. He barely braced his neck and lifted his head slightly to look at his own chest. There was a large hole in the center of his chest.
There was no sign that the wound was trying to regenerate. Seeing that, Takujin smiled with satisfaction.
“Calm down.”
“… … .”
“It’s your victory. And it is my victory. “I am victorious from this damn curse.”
“Don’t look refreshed. Because I’m annoyed. Damn, if I had more power, I would have sealed it forever in a bottomless pit or something.”
“Cluck. There is no such thing as an eternal seal. How many times do you think I’ve been sealed so far? “It was all in vain.”
“… … joy.”
“You seem very angry. That’s not an expression suitable for a winner. What is so resentful? You won’t lose anything. “Rather, couldn’t you have borrowed my hand and quickly put the heavens in order?”
It was just as he said.
There was nothing lost because of it. No, if you look at it objectively, I gained so much.
“Iron becomes stronger when it endures quenching. What is it like? “Wasn’t it a pretty good quenching?”
A series of battles against powerful people called the Archangels, who are considered to be the best in the entire universe. The level gain and experience gained by defeating them was truly enormous.
Is that it?
When I came to heaven, I learned about the ultimate passing skill and obtained the God’s Spear while climbing the tower. By fully understanding the conditions for transcendence, it is now possible to transcend the strongest Celtic spear into reality.
As he said, what Jeongdo achieved was so great that it cannot be described. Although I was aware of that fact in my head.
“In the end, I’m not happy that it worked out the way you intended.”
That’s what the human mind is like.
It is clearly a path that is beneficial to oneself, but how many people would be truly happy if it were forced to happen by someone other than their own will?
The result was good, but the final part of the process was not good. It was a conclusion reached.
“Cluck cluck. It was a golden opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream. You can’t do it in vain. Kuwaek!”
Takujin kept bursting into laughter, wondering what was so funny, and then coughed up a handful of blood again. From the looks of it, it seemed like he didn’t have much life left.
“eww.”
It was then. A thin moan flowed from the mouth of Cheok Jun-gyeong, who was lying face down like a corpse. Do-do glanced at Cheok Jun-kyung and then turned his gaze back to Takujin.
“Hello. Aftereffects. “You noticed that I didn’t kill them.”
“Yeah, if that were the case, I wouldn’t be talking to you like this.”
What is the story all about? He would have crushed his head right away with his fist.
Even though I didn’t like Takujin, it was for this reason that I listened to his last words. He really had no intention of harming himself.
“Since when did you notice?”
“Right after you collapsed.”
“That’s a good thing. “If I had noticed before, I would have really had to kill him.”
“You would have died by my hands before that.”
“Cluck. “That’s a very cool thing to say.”
Takujin, who had been laughing for a while, stiffened his expression slightly. He spoke to Jeong Do in a slightly more serious tone.
“Calm down. “Getting rid of <Eternal Life> probably means gaining a new miracle from the beginning to contrast with it.”
“okay.”
“You are truly a wonder. But always be careful. Because those who embrace the miracle of the beginning will always attract attention, whether they like it or not. “Some will try to help you, and some will be against you.”
“I’m already feeling sick of it.”
“Not everything in this world will go the way you think. Become stronger. Don’t be fooled by other people’s intentions. Be strong enough to crush that intention head on.”
“… … “I don’t think that’s what you want to say.”
“Cluck, click, click.”
I don’t know why he says something like that to the person who took advantage of him. Still, one thing was clear: there was nothing wrong with his words themselves.
“Take it.”
Takujin squeezed out all his remaining strength. Then, a very small crack appeared in the air, and a key fell out of it.
The key that had fallen to the ground floated slightly in the air and began to fly towards Jeongdo. Jeong Do grabbed the key reflexively.
“This?”
“It’s a reward for complying with the stubbornness of a crazy old man. “It is the key to the warehouse where I store all the goods I have collected throughout my life.”
“… … what?”
The degree was surprising. If he understood me correctly, this was definitely not an ordinary item.
“I knocked down everything I thought was valuable. “I don’t know who you will encounter in the future, but it will most likely be helpful.”
Jeong-do looked at the keys blankly at the surprise gift that would make even Santa Claus cry. He was truly a crazy person. He was an old man who could not understand anything from beginning to end.
Takujin’s breathing became increasingly shallow. As if everything was done now. The candle of life slowly went out.
“Calm down.”
“… … .”
“thanks.”
Tuk.
With those words, the vitality disappeared from Takujin’s body.
“… … .”
Jeongdo looked at Takujin’s body in silence. There was a comfortable smile on his face. Anyone who saw him would have thought he was having a sweet dream.

I’m crying.
Looking at that scene made me feel sick to my stomach. He made things up with words that seemed reasonable, but in the end, he used everything, both heaven and earth, for his own purposes!
Moreover, the last surprise gift was the perfect way to cool off his anger. Indeed, the resourcefulness of someone who lived <Eternal Life> was not ordinary.
Jeongdo pondered Takujin’s words. Even if I didn’t know anything else, there was only one thing I could agree on.
“There is no way everything in the world will go the way you think.”
Takujin may have been thinking of giving himself advice, but… … Well, that’s fine. Couldn’t that statement be applied in reverse?
In fact, it was possible to make Takujin disappear in one go with <Annihilation>. They could have just erased their existence without even giving them a chance to say anything.
But there were two reasons for not doing so.
First, it was because it reminded me of what happened in Sichuan Province, China. At that time, Jeong Do used the ‘power of immortality’ in <Morning>.
If you stamp an immortal brand on a target and attack the brand, the target will disappear.
The ultimate annihilation is not just disappearance, but denial of existence, and all the achievements and life the person has accumulated disappear.
Of course, a butterfly effect will occur as a result, and it is unknown what effect the butterfly effect will have. Even Winry went to the extent of telling her not to use it if possible.
Of course, this is a technique that does not work against the miracles of the beginning and the agents of the universe. However, with the intention of being as careful as possible, only the talent <Eternal Life> was destroyed.
And one more reason. In fact, this was the real purpose.
‘After putting people through so much trouble, you can die comfortably alone? If you thought the world would run so smoothly, you were mistaken.’
Jeong Do opened his mouth with the feeling of ‘f*ck you once.’
“Hades?”
<Huh?>
“Can you do me a favor?”
<Uh, hmm?>
The smile he made while saying that was more evil than ever.
* * * * * *
‘Is it finally the end?’
Takujin realized that he was dead. A comfortable feeling enveloped my body. Indeed, is this the underworld?
As I passed by, I caught a glimpse of other souls. They must all be dead just like you. They were truly blessed.
Now he would cross the river of forgetfulness, forget everything, and his soul would be purified. If that happens, everything is over. It was the beginning of true rest.
“Is that it?”
I saw a large river in front of me and other souls were crossing the river. My heart became impatient. Takujin was also about to jump into the river.
Tuk.
A huge oar suddenly appeared and blocked his movement. Takujin looked at the owner of the paddle in confusion.
A large ferry boat appeared on the river. The boatman there was swinging his oar, blocking his entrance.
“Are you Takujin?”
“… … huh?”
“I guess that’s right. “It’s a message from the god of the underworld.”
The boatman of the underworld. Charon said that and handed the letter to Takujin. Takujin suddenly received the letter and read it slowly.
And his expression turned sour.
“Is this a message from the god of the underworld?”
“exactly.”
“How does he know me?”
“I don’t even know about that. “I was just running an errand.”
‘I’m already so busy.’ Charon grumbled like that, but Takujin couldn’t hear it. He was that absurd.
“What happens if I reject this message?”
“Then the Underworld will just reject you too. “I will not accept your soul.”
“her. “This is it.”
He’s dead at best, but they’re not letting him die? That could never happen. Takujin looked at the contents of the letter once again.
The letter could indeed be summarized in three simple lines.
[Let’s work like a dog.
The period is 100 years.
Then accept it. If you twist it, it will go off.]
“this. Seed… … .”
“The Master of the Underworld added this:”
Charon continued speaking, tilting his head as if he thought it was a strange statement.
“’Life is practical. ‘If you think everything will work out the way you intend, you are very mistaken.’”
“… … Calm too. “You damn bastard.”
After saying those words, Takujin lowered his head helplessly.
* * * * * *
“It’s over.”
The purpose of coming to heaven has been completely fulfilled. He defeated all those who could be considered the leaders of the heavenly world and obtained the Holy Light Spear. It was truly a perfect expedition.
There were still countless angels that made up the heavens, but it took too long for him to wipe out all of them… … . Having lost their focus, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to do anything in the future.
“Let’s go back.”
<Yes. Let’s get ready. Master!>
Jijijijik.
With Ixia’s cry, a crack was created in front of me.
Jeong Do wrapped around the entire group, who were still unable to come to their senses. It’s really over. Somehow I feel sad… … It’s a mess to do. It was so cold that I felt like I was going crazy.
‘I have a lot of work to do when I get back.’
The first thing you need to do is synchronize <Shinwi-lv.3> while Hades is loaded. Right now, I have turned off the synchronization function, but I was planning to move to a safe place and finish the work.
Next, we’ll have to sort out the road rewards. Even now, when I open the status window, the categories are shining brightly, as if asking me to quickly receive the reward.
Cu Chulainn, Lu, Balor.
I was already looking forward to seeing what kind of reward the Celtic god’s family would give.
‘And there’s a key.’
Wow, if you think about it, you really gained a lot by coming here. Should I have just watched <Eternal Life>? Well, it’s already happened, so thinking about it like this is useless.
The amount passed through the gate. The celestial scenery disappeared and she arrived at her home in an instant.
“… … Eh?”
And a new crack was waiting just ahead.
As if to tell me to come in quickly.
It’s like he was waiting for you to come to Earth.
The dwarves’ dungeon was dancing a courtship dance towards Jeongdo.
