Chapter 382: The Choice (7)

As the time flow resumed, Gi-Gyu's transformation ended. The God Hunter armor now appeared sharper and more organized, with the most significant change being the two giant spear-like horns on his head. Gi-Gyu touched them and wondered, Is this you, Lou?

He couldnt hear Lous voice, perhaps because Lou had become one with God Hunter. Also, there was a black crown between the two horns.

It reminds me of Els golden crown.

Kronos Scythe of Time appeared as a hook on his left hand, and Gi-Gyu could feel several pairs of wings on his back.

I guess I have wings now. Gi-Gyu moved the wings to bring them forward. Likely influenced by his two swords, the wings were black and white.

Gi-Gyu turned to look at Lee Sun-Ho.

Neither of them said anything for a while. Lee Sun-Ho glared at Gi-Gyu with a bloodthirst that could bring the world down.

But the world is one with me now, Gi-Gyu whispered, sensing the presence of everyone and everything. His original Egos and other players had provided the most power. Still, the strength from humans, small animals like dogs and ants, and even inanimate objects like buildings, rocks, and metals wasnt insignificant.

Gi-Gyu felt satisfaction as the world came together through him.

Such power from Earth And the Tower

He felt like he could do anything now.

But I must hurry, Gi-Gyu thought, as he didnt have much time. He could use this massive amalgamation of power, but such power came with a price. The penalty for using this power would be severe, so he had to end this before incurring the penalty.

I have no choice but to admit it. Lee Sun-Ho looked down at Gi-Gyu. Seriously Youre

Lee Sun-Ho's demeanor had changed. He was calm and serious as he continued, It would have been nice if I had someone like you.

The tranquil tone didnt make the bloodlust in Lee Sun-Hos eyes any less threatening. Gi-Gyu slowly opened his wings and floated up, bringing himself to Lee Sun-Hos eye level.

They gazed at each other. The pitch-black and white eyes studied one another before the final battle began.

Kaboom!

Gi-Gyu made the first move. He darted; soon after, a black-and-white explosion filled the world. The blast was small initially but grew to invade everything around it.

Boom! Boom!

The same explosion repeatedly occurred in various places as the two crashed into each other. The world around them began to crumble down.

***

Kaboom!

Watch out! Oh Tae-Shik screamed as he narrowly saved a player about to be crushed by rubble.

T-thank you! The player was seemingly part of a Korean guild, as he talked in Korean.

The world was crumbling. While all the buildings were collapsing, their contents surprisingly soared up, like someone had reversed gravity.

Hurry! Oh Tae-Shik blocked another falling piece of rock and screamed. The player bowed appreciatively and sprinted toward the small glowing gate nearby. This gate was the entrance to Gi-Gyus Eden.

-Please evacuate.

Gi-Gyus voice repeated this message continually in everyones heads.

Gi-Gyu Tae-Shik whispered. He could feel the invisible thread that connected him to Gi-Gyu. This thread throbbed like a beating heart as they shared their strengths.

You must win, Gi-Gyu. You can do this. Oh Tae-Shik could feel Gi-Gyus emotions and pain clearly. And before he knew it, tears were rolling down his eyes.

Theyve all been evacuated. Gi-Gyu backed away to put some distance between them.

... Gi-Gyu watched him silently.

With a blank face, Lee Sun-Ho said softly, This is fun. No one has ever entertained me like this before. Am I enjoying fighting with you?

The robot-like expression on Lee Sun-Ho's face softened into a genuine smile. "This is great. It's so much fun."

Despite being covered in wounds and bleeding heavily, Lee Sun-Ho was seemingly enjoying himself.

Finally I have met someone just like me. Finally Lee Sun-Ho whispered. Im not lonely anymore.

Lee Sun-Ho was unparalleled in power and was revered and respected by all as the creator of the world. Still, he was consumed by terrible loneliness, making him abandon everything he once had.

Gaia had helped the Creator reappear. He now looked human and wanted nothing but the worlds destruction.

Gi-Gyu could empathize with him. Now that he had accepted so much information, understood so many things, and felt so many creatures thoughts and feelings, he could feel what Lee Sun-Ho must be feeling.

How disappointing. Lee Sun-Ho seemed genuinely disappointed. Ive finally learned about your existence, yet we must part ways

Lee Sun-Ho understood that Gi-Gyu was just like himpowerful and alone. The immense power they held set them apart from others.

That is why we cant both exist, Lee Sun-Ho announced with absolute certainty.

Just like Gi-Gyu, Lee Sun-Ho was also not using his full power. He was truly enjoying himself, which was why he had chosen to be considerate of Gi-Gyu, who couldnt focus because he had been protecting others.

But now, its time to end things, my child, said Lee Sun-Ho. Gi-Gyu agreed, and they both decided to go all out.

The ground was boiling, the sky was falling, and the rules of the world were changing. Time flowed forward and backward, fast and slow. Gravity appeared and disappeared, forcing everything to collapse.

Who are you calling your child? Gi-Gyu asked. And

Gi-Gyu released a powerful force while Lee Sun-Ho summoned his own with a smile.

Why do you think we cant coexist? asked Gi-Gyu.

...? Lee Sun-Ho looked confused.

Whir.

The energy from the two spread to engulf the world. Grabbing Lee Sun-Hos neck and throwing him on the ground, Gi-Gyu whispered, Dont act like you know everything.

The rules of nature may have changed, but this didnt matter to the two.

Kaboom!

The reversed gravity made the rubble fly up, and Gi-Gyu slammed Lee Sun-Ho through all the floating rock pieces.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Gi-Gyu drove Lee Sun-Ho deeper into the ground, and he didnt resist. Gi-Gyu suddenly realized that he had forgotten to use his strongest weapon.

They went deeper and deeper into the ground until they struck magma. Surrounded by the boiling liquid, they glared at each other.

Gi-Gyu suddenly announced, Sync.
