Chapter 381: The Choice (6)
Gi-Gyu had a bit of time after Kronos had reversed time and before he had returned to the past. While Kronos had spent that brief time looking at Gi-Gyu, Gi-Gyu had done something unexpected.
[You have synced with the Scythe of Time.]
Before Kronos had taken it away, Gi-Gyu hadnt even known how to use this item. He used to think it was a simple watch. But after syncing with it, he realized what it was.
Lee Sun-Ho
Lee Sun-Ho was the Creator. Unlike the fake who had Order, the Creator could create and destroy worlds.
And I know how to defeat him. Time was moving slowly around him; he had found a way to kill the supreme being.
Gi-Gyu woke up holding Lou and El. He realized that he was in the past. Lee Sun-Ho still hadnt woken up Chaos, and Hal and Gi-Gyus other creatures were still alive. He didnt know if Kronos had helped him out of necessity or kindness, but that was inconsequential. Gi-Gyu could tell from Lee Sun-Ho's expression that he was unaware of the time manipulation.
Lee Sun-Ho is still unstable He may be the Creator, but that didnt mean he was perfect. It was as if something was missing in Lee Sun-Ho.
And I know how to defeat him.
[God Hunter is active.]
Currently, all of his Egos were connected to one another. And in this state, his Dragon Hunter armor had transformed into the much more powerful God Hunter armor.
[God Mode is active.]
God Mode? This was unexpected, but Gi-Gyu had no time to wonder. Lee Sun-Ho was about to summon Chaos, so he had no choice but to dash toward him.
Gi-Gyu needed to stop him.
***
In the God Hunter armor now, Gi-Gyu clashed with Lee Sun-Ho, thrusting him into the air.
Ugh, Lee Sun-Ho groaned, but he regained control quickly.
Looking confused, Lee Sun-Ho mumbled, What the hell?
Everything had changed suddenly. Gi-Gyu, who had been like a bug he could crush, had become powerful enough to injure him.
How? Lee Sun-Ho couldnt understand. How was this possible? Lee Sun-Ho asked Gi-Gyu, who remained silent.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Lee Sun-Ho frowned and raised his hand again. He summoned his power to protect himself and tried to wake up Chaos again. However, with a loud ghastly thud, he found himself rolling helplessly in midair. Gi-Gyu had crashed into him again like an angry bull.
...? Blood dripped from Lee Sun-Hos mouth, and he was now baffled. But soon after, a smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, How amusing. Spending all that time in the dark now almost seems worth it.
Gi-Gyu seemed horrifyingly bloodthirsty, but Lee Sun-Ho was still smiling.
But this has gone far enough. Lee Sun-Ho sounded confident. I must get back what is rightfully mine.
I will tell you again. They dont belong to you. Gi-Gyu finally opened his lips. Through the one-piece armor, he sounded hoarse.
Nonsense. Still smiling, Lee Sun-Ho ordered, Come back to me, my slaves.
Crack.
Gi-Gyus arms began breaking down. The armor was a part of him now, and Lou and El were being forcefully ripped out of it.
Return to me, my swords, Lee Sun-Ho repeated.
Gi-Gyus hands trembled as they tried to keep a firm hold over Lou and El.
Come back to me. Come back to your master. When Lee Sun-Ho commanded again, the two swords left Gi-Gyus hands quickly.
Whoosh!
Still smiling, he got ready to hold the two swords.
...? Lee Sun-Ho raised his hands confidently, but instead of surrendering, the two swords stabbed his stomach.
How? Lee Sun-Ho bled profusely from his stomach, where two swords were stuck. It appeared as if a lion had mauled him. The swords, like giant vampire fangs, were draining his blood.
Gi-Gyu ordered drily, Return to me.
Whoosh!
Leaving deep wounds on Lee Sun-Ho, Lou and El returned to Gi-Gyus hands. As they reached him, they smoothly joined the armor to become part of the God Hunter.
W-what is going on? Lee Sun-Ho stammered like a broken record.
...! Gi-Gyu backed away in confusion. I stopped time, so how?!
He had paused time for everyone except Lee Sun-Ho and himself, yet Chaos was seemingly waking up.
Chaos! Lee Sun-Ho roared.
Gi-Gyu abruptly sensed something wide and dangerous, like deaths maw opening behind him, so he quickly moved away. He had turned so fast that he had accidentally ripped away the muscles around some of his bones. Hup!
Gi-Gyu looked ahead, visibly cringing with pain.
Everything shall end, for it is my perpetual wish. Lee Sun-Ho announced, watching Gi-Gyu from atop Chaos head. This world will end.
Chaos muddy form became one with Lee Sun-Ho. The giant beast, once big enough to planets in comparison, shrank to match Lee Sun-Hos size. Gi-Gyu tried everything he could to break through its skin but failed each time.
Its not working Gi-Gyu grew restless. He could only defeat the Creator if he remained unstable, so he needed to stop Lee Sun-Ho and Chaos from uniting.
He will become complete after uniting with Chaos. Lee Sun-Ho would completely become the Creatorthe god from the beginning of time. And this god had only one wish: The obliteration of the world.
No! Gi-Gyu screamed and swung Lou and El, but it was useless. Lee Sun-Ho and Chaos ultimately united and became one.
Its over. Lee Sun-Ho announced as Chaos solidified around him to turn into armor. Chaos had a pitch-black hide, but the armor had a milky glow.
Lee Sun-Ho opened his eyes, looking through the headgear now. They were the same white color, making his overall appearance oddly grotesque.
Its time to end this farce. When Lee Sun-Ho raised his hand, time began to flow again. Things returned to normal slowly, and Chaos dark monsters appeared from the ground a second time.
At this rate, things will end the same way. Gi-Gyu felt returning to the past would become meaningless then.
He couldnt let this happen. Somehow, he needed to find a way. Suddenly, he remembered the system announcing something about God Mode.
What did this mean? He was now the God Hunter and knew how to use its power. But what was God Mode? How was it helpful? Gi-Gyu knew nothing about this.
Kwerk! The chaos monsters were already nearby. Gi-Gyu closed his eyes tightly to figure out God Modes functionality. He had but a moment for this as his fight with Lee Sun-Ho could restart any second.
What was he supposed to do?
Ah, I got it Suddenly, Gi-Gyu figured it out. God Mode was active, but had he met all the necessary conditions to use it?
I need to become almost as powerful as him.
There was only one way for him to achieve this. Gi-Gyu yelled, Sync!

[Your request to sync has been accepted.]
As the system notifications boomed in his ear, Gi-Gyu realized just how monumental a task he had accomplished: He had just synced with the entire population of Earth.
Haa Gi-Gyu felt the newfound energy filling him. Every time he breathed out, the air shook. He became dizzy from repeatedly hearing the same message, approximately 8 billion times. As every humans thoughts, feelings, and memories entered Gi-Gyu, he felt like his head would explode.
The growing power allowed him to slow down time, but he couldnt stop it again. Gi-Gyu continued to sync with other humans as invisible threads crossed the gate and Eden.
Its still not enough. Despite all the new connections, Gi-Gyu could still not use the God Mode. In addition, he could feel the clear difference in power between himself and Lee Sun-Ho, the Creator.
Gi-Gyus sync threads changed direction and began syncing with players now. He even synced with inanimate things like buildings, and Gi-Gyu found his face burning like he was boiling from the inside.
The time flow became even slower as he synced with more things. In the end, his threads had covered every corner of this world, creating a round web around Earth.
Earth The 100th floor of the Tower My home
Gi-Gyu heard two more announcements.
[You successfully synced with Earth.]
[You successfully synced with Babel.]
For the first time since his ears had started ringing, he heard something unfamiliar.
[God Hunter: God Mode]
Gi-Gyu began radiating darkness while looking at the sky. His magnificent yet solemn light differed from that of Lee Sun-Ho or Chaos. His light shot into the sky like a column.
Finally, the flow of time returned to its normal pace.
