Part 2 Episode 9
Magical Power.
It is the power that Taehyeon first awakened and the power created by the Demon King of the Three Heavenly Worlds who became the King of the Underworld.
Crack.
A devouring maw made of magical power swallowed up the Demon King.
“Chew it thoroughly.”
Taehyun has strengthened the magic power he injects into Predation.
This is because I know that I cannot reach the Demon King at this level.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Agari, who was drunk with magic, made fun of this without stopping.
[It’s predation…]
The Chinese zodiac sat far away and stroked my chin.
[It’s an unusual power. Is it a fighting species?]
Either born with it or acquired from it.
Each constellation has its own symbolic power.
Among them, powers related to battle were the most common and numerous.
Of course, if that power goes in a different direction, it would be a different story.
quaddddd.
The vicious maw chews and teases it several times.
[This level of mettle against a demon. Considering that we haven’t even gotten the proper constellation name yet, it’s quite a bit?]
There are differences in rank in the microcosm, but it is a power that can be called the strongest among most living creatures.
still.
At that level, it cannot completely swallow a yoma, a famous fighting species even among low-level constellations.
At that time, a bluish haze rose around the mouth.
[Hmm?]
Ssssss.
The Chinese Zodiac shed its holy power in my eyes.
This was to properly check the power.
[Oh.]
A small exclamation escaped from his mouth.
This is because two disparate forces are harmonizing and expanding momentum.
[Come to think of it. ‘Yoma’ also dealt with the power of many at first.]
The Chinese zodiac reminded me of my first meeting with the Demon King.
In his universe, it is called magical power and divine power.
[Is it said that combining the two powers is called divine magic power?]
This is when the zodiac reminds me of the demons of the early days.
Tsuzzzzzz.
Ssssss.
The magical power and divine power that make up the mouth. The two powers were fused to become divine magic.
[This is… a demon’s…]
This is when the Chinese Zodiac is embarrassed by the familiar power.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Ugh.
The Maw, which has become even stronger, has expanded its scope within the fusion world.
That’s the youma you were when you first met him.
It reminded me of someone who did not back down even when facing a superior constellation.
[This is so… What on earth happened to the Three Thousand Worlds?…]
A universe that gave birth to three constellations.
Unless there is a regression…
The Chinese zodiac is in the process of coming up with a plausible guess.
Grumbling. Grumbling.
Flames rose from the expanding maw.
Wow.
In the center of the predation, a demon king clad in divine magic appeared.
[You have completely mastered divine magic.]
The voice of the Demon King rang throughout the fusion universe. The mouth that was exposed because he was not wearing a mask was smiling.
and.
[Excellent.]
It was an instant.
Grrrrrrr.
“…!!”
The flame of divine magic began to suck the maw of predation.
Hurrrr. Grrrr.
A flame blazed, taking the form of a predator.
Taehyun recognized that the maw in front of him had the same origin as his own.
‘This is the king’s power as the King of the Underworld.’
A power that would have been sufficient to become the unified king of the three thousand worlds.
[But.]

Sreuk.
The maw of predation disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of smoke.
[Different forces will be needed outside.]
Quaaaaaaa.
“…!!”
Taehyun’s eyes turned red. This is to understand the fire taking place in front of our eyes.
One blink.
Behind him was the Demon King, who had become the same transcendental entity that had dealt with the constellations just moments ago.
[Star power.]
Hwareuk.
A small flame bloomed on the Demon King’s index finger.
[It is a power given only to those who become Constellations.]
Grumble.
It’s just a small flame.
A universe existed within it.
upper and lower world. Countless Middle-earths were adding strength to the flame.
[Welcome to the world of constellations.]
Sreuk.
The Demon King smiled and held out his hand.
The moment Taehyun held her hand.
Tiring.
[The world of the lesser constellation ‘Fate-Defying Demon King’ is shared.]
The meaning of the constellations is beginning to be understood.
* * *
[Attempt to connect with the ‘giant being’.]
[Connection with the ‘giant being’ failed.]
What I saw in front of me was a pure white ceiling.
I turned my head.
“….”
Not only the ceiling was white, but everything around was pure white.
I feel like I’m locked up in a mental hospital.
It wasn’t an illusion.
‘Did I faint?…’
I cleared away the dream-like memories and remembered the battle with Dok Go-young.
Blood Demon Religion.
Due to unexpected power, I ended up making the same choice as Dong-gwi-jin.
Considering his nickname ‘Ruler of the Three Thousand Worlds’, he looked unsightly.
‘There is no pain…’
Taehyun tried to move his arm to properly check his body condition.
and.
Sigh.
“….”
Taehyun noticed the presence of chains binding his body.
Four chains were fastened to his arms and legs.
Magical power can be felt in seemingly ordinary chains or chains.
It functions as a magic tool that disrupts magical power.
‘Is it a chain of restraint?’
A skill that can be used as the best binding skill depending on the user’s level.
Taehyeon also used this technique usefully against the Great Duke and the Absolute.
The thing being restrained must have been manufactured with the assumption that S-rank players would be the limit.
Of course, the end of the chain had the Alchemist’s guild mark stamped on it.
‘I want to meet guild leader Seo Sang-ik more and more.’
That’s when Taehyun was thinking that way.
[You must have woken up now.]
A familiar voice came from a tiny speaker attached to the wall beyond the chain.
[Nice to meet you, Taehyun Kim.]
It’s a voice you can’t forget even if you try to forget it.
“Go Tae-wook… Team leader?”
[Amazing. Do you even know my name?]
Chijik-.
Suddenly, a noise appeared in front of Taehyun.
and.
Pipbit-.
A square hologram appeared before my eyes.
Go Tae-wook’s face came to mind there.
It was a face that was no different from the one Taehyun knew.
[He is the division manager, not the team leader.]
The speed of promotion seemed to have changed.
[You know why it looks like that, right?]
“It’s probably because you entered the tower without permission.”
[I know you well. Attacking a player belonging to the association is a serious crime. There is nothing to look at just because you are a minor.]
I know.
Even during the time when Taehyun lived, the law on the protection of minors was being revised only for those who were awakened.
In the licensing exam, it is even permitted to cause harm to the bodies of participants who do not follow the controls.
The world today didn’t seem to be much different.
[I’m sure he didn’t know that much.]
“I know.”
[You did that even though you knew?]
“Yes.”
[Why?]
“I can’t tell you.”
[You’re joking too much.]
Ko Tae-wook’s voice became cold.
He is by nature a man who is cold-blooded towards those who harm the country and the association.
‘You scolded me. ‘I never thought that Team Leader Go would recognize me as an enemy.’
However, Taehyun couldn’t tell the truth about everything.
I still haven’t figured out what messages like ‘connection with a greater being’ mean.
The timeline has already been messed up, so there’s no harm in being careful.
‘There may be other avatars of the constellations….’
More information is needed about the current world.
After making that decision, Taehyun met Go Taewook’s gaze.
[Kim Tae-hyun. What does it have to do with the Blood Demon Church?]
“That’s what I want to ask. “It attacked suddenly.”
Taehyun answered slyly.
[This is where the questions are asked. Why did you enter the tower?]
“Every player dreams of exploration.”
[You are not a player. If you wanted to be a player, you should have gotten a license.]
That wasn’t wrong.
“What does it say about Director Go Tae-wook’s skills?”
[….]
“The eye of the observer. Are you still A-level?”
There was a moment of silence.
At best, I didn’t expect that an underage person entering without permission would even know his skills.
Go Tae-wook’s eyebrows were seen trembling slightly.
It was Go Tae-wook who opened his mouth after silence.
[The grade at the time of awakening was E. The grade registered with the tower was D. If true, it was an incredible growth rate.]
“Can you see my skills?”
[Again, this is what I’m asking. Let’s understand the situation.]
“I guess I can’t see it.”
Predation has not previously been explored as a general skill.
Unless it’s Ricky Harlis, it won’t be easily detected, and since it’s sealed, it’ll be even harder to confirm now.
Information imbalance.
Taehyun was able to objectively understand his situation through a brief conversation.
‘We need to throw the right bait and sit down at the negotiating table.’
You may wonder why Taehyun, who is only a D-rank awakened person, was able to deal with B~A level players and martial people.
“Dok Go-young. “Is the martial artist who attacked me still alive?”
[Kim Tae-hyun. I guess they said questions weren’t allowed?]
“Why are you being so upset? “I also don’t want to do anything that would harm New Korea.”
[How can you believe that? The current situation is something you brought upon yourself.]
“How are you, President Ji Jin-hee? If you can connect me to the president of the association…”
[I wonder how long I can keep my mouth shut like that.]
This is the moment when Ko Tae-wook is about to take action.
[Uh huh. You are still the same. I’ll talk to you so you can get out of the way.]
As she said that, the person who appeared in the hologram was Ji Jin-hee.
[Kim Tae-hyun. This guy is as scary as he looks. Don’t provoke me anymore.]
LOL.
Although he is smiling brightly, there is a feeling of intimidation that cannot be ignored.
The corner of Taehyun’s mouth went up at the sight of Ji Jin-hee being more corrected than ever.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Association President.”
[hmm? Have we ever met?]
“Yes.”
[Hmm. This is strange. Even though I’m like this, my memory is pretty good. Oh, it was I who found you lying down. There is no need to say thank you.]
Ji Jin-hee burst into laughter again.
It was fortunate.
If others had discovered it, we wouldn’t know what kind of situation Taehyun would have been in by now.
[You deserve to be severely punished for attacking an association player, but it’s a different story if you cooperate with us. I like talented people.]
“I guess we should cooperate as much as possible?”
Unlike Ko Tae-wook, Tae-hyun showed an obedient attitude.
Ji Jin-hee continued to ask questions with a satisfied smile.
[What the martial arts people were subjected to was something called ancient martial arts. Sansha, an ancient Chinese martial art, and Baekrang, an ancient martial art of New Korea. We believe that at least two people have been in contact with the martial arts people. Have you ever seen who defeated them?]
“It’s me.”
[…?]
“I defeated him. “The people called the Blood Demon Church.”
[Uhm… Taehyun Kim. I don’t like pranks. Does that mean you know how to use ancient martial arts?]
LOL.
In the laughter, I felt the will to not play around anymore.
Taehyun smiled.
“President of the Association. “Would you like to make a bet with me?”
[That’s rude. President of the Association, I will take care of it…]
[No. Tell me, Taehyun Kim.]
“If you spar with me and win, I will give you all the answers you want. “If I win, the president of the association, please do me two favors.”
The atmosphere beyond the hologram became quiet.
Ji Jin-hee and Go Tae-wook’s faces were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
“Why not?”
[Kim Tae-hyun. You have clearly crossed a line. I asked him if he was coming or not….]
Ji Jin-hee intervened before Ko Tae-wook’s bloody warning could end.
[Hmm… Even after seeing this, I am still an S-rank player.]
“I am a D-rank awakened person.”
[….]
[If I beat you, don’t you think I’d end up looking funny?]
He had a troubled face, but his mouth was smiling.
“Wouldn’t that be if the president of the association won?”
[What…?]
[Hahahaha.]
Ji Jin-hee burst into laughter again and the hologram disappeared for a moment.
yet.
Ji Jin-hee appeared alone in the hologram that was turned on again.
[How about doing this? If you hit me in the face even once, I will consider Kim Tae-hyun the winner.]
“Are you okay? “I still intend to stick to my two requests.”
[of course. Wouldn’t it be less embarrassing if I had that much of a handicap? However, I have to promise you through the awakened person’s oath. That much is possible, right?]
“Good.”
Unlike the answer.
‘You caught a tiger.’
A kind smile appeared on Taehyun’s face.
