A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 12
12. God of Time
‘I knew you’d come here as expected.’
If you kill a host, another host may appear.
Ryumin was waiting after dealing with the Montana host with that assumption.
Fortunately, that prediction was correct.
but.
‘The host… ‘Isn’t it?’
After reading its thoughts, I realized that it was a higher species called a ‘seed’ rather than a host.
Although it looked similar, it was different from the host that operated solely for human bioenergy.
‘Thoughts are not simple but complex. ‘He has enough ego to give himself a name.’
The name of the seed in front of you is Boluak.
It was a seed of destruction that appeared under Deorant’s orders to collapse the world line.
‘I understand now. The relationship between the host and the seed.’
Above the host was a solid body called a seed.
Sid’s purpose was simple.
When the host collects human bioenergy, they step forward and harvest it when it reaches a certain amount.
In other words, the bee that diligently collects honey was the host, and the wasp that ate the bee was the seed.
What the two have in common is that they are working on destroying the world line under Deorant’s orders.
I was also able to find out the detailed collapse method.
‘The seed that absorbs the host continues to grow and gains enormous energy, enough to collapse the world line.’
The number of humans needed to gather that much energy is in the billions.
In other words, the collapse of the world line occurred after humans had almost become extinct.
In the end, the entity at the center of the collapse is the seed, not the host.
‘If there is no seed, the collapse of the world line will not occur. However, the host cannot be neglected either.’
In a short period of time, meaningful information was obtained through Boluak’s thoughts.
Unlike the hosts, they have an ego and are somewhat intelligent.
‘Well, it’s within the palm of my hand.’
Rather, that intelligence can tighten my throat.
Even now, didn’t he appear to absorb the host and get himself caught?
Sid Boluak asked, rolling his eyes.
“Who are you?”
“You already know about me, right?”
“No way, the guy who goes around hunting hosts is… … .”
“okay. “I am the black scythe.”
* * *
‘what? ‘That guy?’
Boluak looked at the human identified as Black Scythe with suspicious eyes.
No matter how much I look, I don’t see anything special.
He just looks like an ordinary human being.
However, the scythe on his shoulder looked unusual.
The fact that he carries a scythe also matches what I heard.
‘That guy really is the host…’ … ?’
This cannot happen.
But the evidence before my eyes is very clear.
My eyes are drawn to the dead host’s body.
“Where are you looking? “Is it because you want to absorb that?”
“what?”
Boluak asked in surprise, then quickly collected his expression.
When my true feelings were revealed, I revealed my emotions without even realizing it.
‘How did that bastard know? ‘You want me to absorb the host?’
No, how did they come up with the idea of absorbing the host in the first place?
‘I don’t know what it is.’
One thing was certain.
‘The thing is, I have to kill him right here.’
Sereung-
Boluak sharpened one arm like a sword.
I will quickly kill that arrogant human and absorb his biological energy.
It also absorbs the body of the currently dead host.
However, the other person did not show even a hint of tension.
On the contrary.
“You want to fight? “I wanted to test how strong it was already, and it turned out well.”
I provoked myself.
Of course, he is not easy enough to fall for such a trivial provocation.
“You seem like an arrogant person. I think it’s a ploy to shake the body’s emotions and make us let our guard down, but it’s not possible… … .”
The moment I spoke, the world turned black.
I thought night had come suddenly, but no.
Completely cut off from the world.

Eventually, Boluak realized where he was trapped.
“Yes, how did you break the space-time barrier…?” … ?”
“I don’t know anything about that.”
The other person snapped his fingers.
“Come in first. “I’ll give up who goes first.”
“This human bastard will rip you to death!”
Boluak, unable to hold back his anger, rushed at him.
He closed the distance in the blink of an eye and thrust his black blade forward.
Until then, humans were unable to respond and just stood there like a tree.
‘finished!’
The moment I thought,
Kaang!
The blade was blocked by the wall of darkness.
“Speed passed. “You’re much better than the host.”
‘Is this blocked?’
His knife, transformed with black liquid, boasts enough destructive and cutting power to cut through a piece of iron like tofu.
However, it was blocked so easily that it was worthless to boast about.
“I went first, so now it’s my turn, right?”
The black scythe swung a dark red scythe.
Huh!
“Ugh!”
The speed is faster than expected.
After avoiding it a few times, it got to the point where I couldn’t avoid it.
Kaaaang!
I had no choice but to block it with my blade.
‘Ugh! What kind of power is this… … !’
The shock delivered was beyond imagination.
Human power is unbelievable.
“Why are you surprised once you block it? “Try blocking it some more.”
Ryumin’s scythe danced.
Every time, Boluak was busy blocking.
Can-can-can-can-!
“Ugh, ugh!”
I managed to block the attack, but I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.
‘Uh, what happened? No matter how much of a player he is, he wouldn’t be able to achieve this kind of speed and power… … .’
Boluak decided that this wasn’t going to work, so he jumped back and widened the distance.
I needed a moment to catch my breath.
“what? “Are you tired already?”
“Shut up, human.”
Boluak crouched down and watched for an opportunity.
‘The moment it approaches, it unexpectedly sprays black rain.’
Boluak created an imaginary line between him and himself.
If you cross that line, I will pour rain and kill you.
Eventually, the opponent comes within range.
‘Now!’
It spread its body like a flying squirrel and sprayed the liquid of death.
Papa pa pa pa paak!
Black rain fell in all directions.
There was absolutely no space to escape or time to react.
That’s how I see it.
‘Disappeared?’
“Here.”
“omg!”
The moment I looked up in surprise at the voice I heard from above.
Suddenly!
“Aaaah!”
One of my arms was cut off and I felt an unfamiliar pain.
“The speed is good, but the durability is not so good. fail.”
“Ugh, this guy!”
Liquid squirted out from the cut section and the fallen arm was picked up.
As the arm clung to itself and was restored to its original state, the black scythe that was watching smiled.
“Regeneration is acceptable. “But it’s ironic that I feel pain.”
“I told you to shut up!!!”
They shouted excitedly and attacked, but the situation went in the exact opposite direction.
“Cough!”
It was Boluak who fell down, continuously vomiting black liquid.
“You will never win. “You can’t get out of the gap in time and space unless I release you.”
“Ugh… … How can humans have such power… … .”
“Do I still look like an ordinary person?”
“… … .”
Boluak kept his mouth shut.
There is no room for refutation.
“how? Are you going to do more?”
“… … .”
“If you want, try harder. “I can deal with you all day long.”
To be honest, Boluak had no intention of going any further.
No matter what I did, there seemed no chance of winning.
‘The gap between him and me is the difference between heaven and earth. ‘The chances of me winning are zero.’
There is nothing to do but wait for death.
but.
“… … .”
The other person didn’t seem to have any intention of killing him.
If there was, I would have attacked at least one more time before making a fuss.
‘What is the reason?’
I’m not sure, but it’s not a bad situation.
‘If you take advantage of this opportunity… … There might be a possibility.’
Just one drop.
What if you could just take a drop of your own biological tissue and attach it to that guy?
The situation can be reversed by absorbing biological energy.
‘He is a human at best. He’s not hard to kill if you only get one chance.’
Isn’t the brain meant to be used in times like this?
Boluak spoke to the black scythe.
The intention was to catch them off guard and then take them by surprise.
“What on earth are you?”
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the Black Scythe, right?”
“Black scythe? Is that your name? “It’s unusual.”
“Don’t pretend not to know. You probably know that I am a player because you heard from Archizar, right? And even trying to take advantage of biological tissue.”
“what… … ?”
The plan was discovered before it even started.
The other person noticed.
What kind of trick are you planning?
But the most surprising thing was that the name came out of the guy’s mouth.
“Huh, how do you know Archizar?”
“How do you think you know?”
Ryumin deliberately asked a question as if he were asking a quiz.
To make the other person doubt and use their imagination.
“I knew you would come looking for a host. Boluak.”
“You even know my name?”
“How did they know in advance?”
“S-No way… … !”
Boluak’s pupils shook as if there had been an earthquake.
‘There’s a traitor inside. ‘They leaked information that I was coming this way!’
When I thought about it, it was strange.
When they came to collect the body, a black scythe appeared as if it had been waiting.
How could the black scythe be waiting for him?
Where did he hear Archizar’s name, as well as his own?
‘The information must have leaked from here!’
Someone among the seeds leaked information to Black Scythe.
That prediction was correct.
Because the black scythe was clearly visible.
However, the information that came out of his mouth was quite shocking.
“Arquizar gave me information. “I will lure Boluak out, so please get rid of him.”
“what… … ?”
Because I didn’t know that the traitor was Archizar.
“Arquizar warned you, right? Don’t mess with the American host. “That was done on purpose.”
“… … what?”
“Arquizar predicted that if I warned you, you would become suspicious first and come to absorb the body. “As expected, that prediction was correct.”
“I… I was played by that guy… … ?”
Boluak was shocked, but of course it was a lie.
Ryu Min, who read his inner thoughts, simply made up a believable story using his superiority in information.
As a guy, I wouldn’t even dream of knowing that.
“Arquizar wants to eliminate the seeds. He intends to eliminate all Sid except himself.”
“why… … ?”
“This is so that I can steal the credit for collapsing the world line. To him, the leader, other seeds are just competitors.”
“… … .”
This guy is trying to eliminate seeds.
It couldn’t have been a shock.
Ryumin laughed inwardly at Boluak’s foolish expression.
‘You believe the lie completely.’
It has to be that way.
In addition to the commander, I also mentioned deolant.
‘In order to tell a believable lie, you have to mix in some truth.’
Ryumin explained, but that did not resolve Boluak’s doubts.
“Why are you telling me the truth? No, more than that, what on earth are you?”
“me?”
Ryumin answered as if it was a question he had been waiting for.
“I am the god of time.”
“Poetry, God… … !?”
“I felt a strange energy called Host and came down here in a human body. Then he happened to meet Arkhizar and the bastard gave in.”
“Give in… … ?”
“It means that you decided to cooperate with me. I agreed to remove the seed if he provided the location of the host. But now I’m thinking of switching. “Not Archizar, but you.”
Ryumin said so and extended his hand to Boluak.
“Cooperate with me. Then I will give you a chance to get revenge on Archizar.”
