Chapter 104

Chapter 104 – Compensation

The ones who reached the highest level were no longer human.

They were beings that had distanced themselves from humanity and approached the realm of the inhuman.

If gods existed, these beings would be called their apostles, capable of living for hundreds of years if they so wished.

These were the beings that had entered the Supreme Realm.

Those who had entered the highest rank were all bizarre.

Some had lived for hundreds of years, and some had lived for over a thousand years.

There were those who suddenly ascended after living only a few decades, and some who reached it just a few years after encountering supernatural powers.

Some had two hearts and survived even after half their body was blown away, while others regenerated even after their neck and head were separated.

There were those who survived with just one remaining arm.

This was the realm where such beings were commonplace.

However, the ones in front of me could die just from having their heads severed.

‘Easy.’

Thus, compared to those beings, the ones before me were nothing.

Their domain through manifestation was also quite average.

Even the way they used it was mediocre.

Just ordinary people in the Supreme Realm.

So it was fortunate.

Because it meant I didn’t have to use the true ability of my manifestation.

Such weaklings.

That’s why it hurt my pride when I was wounded.

‘Moreover, they forcefully filled up their authority.’

A sinister power.

They forcefully enlarged their body with it.

That way, they couldn’t transcend.

Forcing their way into the upper ranks was poison.

The path from the Supreme Realm to transcendence.

It’s the end for those who gave up on it and pursued only physical strength.

This was the result of those who gave up all potential and possibilities.

The price was far too cheap.

Various problems would emerge over time for him.

However, if there was a problem.

‘It’s facing him right now.’

He didn’t think about falling down.

So I had to break him.

Using divinity.

That was within calculations.

At first, it was simple.

Using amplified black lightning, the Divine Thunderbolt, I created Black Lightning.

I combined this with divinity.

No, to be precise, I pretended to combine them but actually repelled them.

The two properties were similar yet different.

Ordinary people wouldn’t even imagine it, distinguished talents would only dream of it, and geniuses would give up, but.

‘But I can do it.’

I could do it, if it was me.

I saw the possibility too.

‘But then.’

When I actually used it, it felt different.

Something was a bit lacking.

‘So.’

I used the Soul Origin Qi. I also used the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

In my second life.

The instinct of a mage cried out. I had to add the power of space and time here.

‘The pinnacle of magic, the pinnacle of divinity, the pinnacle of martial arts.’

And the pinnacle of attributes.

The divinity of white light.

Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

Divine Thunderbolt.

‘This is.’

What should I call it?

I don’t know.

It was just a sphere.

Everything I have pursued until now.

It was a power that embodied all of that.

[Trait, Soul Origin Qi (S) imbues you.]

[Trait, Soul Origin Qi (S) $%@%@(!!!]

[Trait, Severence !#@@%$@#^!!!!]

[Unique Trait, Eternity !#@@%$@#^!!!!]

I looked at the blue window.

The system.

Until now, it had always provided answers, but now it couldn’t.

‘Indeed.’

Divine Thunderbolt.

And Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

Even they couldn’t materialize it. So, it’s not strange that they couldn’t materialize this either.

That much destructive power was powerful.

If I transcended, I wouldn’t need to use it.

Domain of manifestation.

In that place, it swallowed everything of the Manifestation.

If you didn’t destroy that, if you didn’t cut it down, the very nature of the mind itself might distort.

In that sense, it was half correct.

‘Even if it doesn’t work on a transcendent being.’

The Supreme Realm being—it was not a strike that an ordinary person in the Supreme Realm could withstand.

“Haaaaaah!!”

Han Junseok swung his sword widely.

And then.

Crunch.

With the sound of something being chewed, Han Junseok’s upper body was torn apart.

For some reason.

I watched it briefly and prepared for the recoil.

Having used such a technique, there was no way there wouldn’t be recoil.

Crack! Crackle!

I felt the bones inside my body twisting.

The pinnacle, Void.

The recoil of using this was coming back.

‘Tsk.’

My body was breaking down.

Now, surpassing the Heavenly Martial Body, a body bestowed by the heavens was being created.

It was falling apart.

Because I used such a powerful force without any hesitation.

‘Still survived.’

It seemed that I won more easily than I thought.

I was prepared to use the true power of the Manifestation if necessary.

I laid my body down on the ground.

There were many things to do.

But for now, I just wanted to rest a little.

‘Quite a spectacle.’

The ceiling.

The place that used to be there was now empty.

The extreme force that soared to the sky was swirling the clouds, creating a tornado.

‘There’s no way to hide this.’

I had caused an incident of this magnitude.

Even though this world was somewhat prepared for such things, many of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan’s head and elders had died.

‘A family run by the head of the clan.’

Now that the head was dead, what’s left were just remnants.

‘Let’s leave that aside for now.’

I calmly closed my eyes.

It took a little while.

I said I would take revenge, but destroying a family with such power was difficult, even for me.

Still.

It took some time, but.

‘Sleep well.’

To Han Seojin, who was originally killed by Han Junseok, who almost became the Eternal Demon King.

I bid my farewell.

‘Shall we start moving in earnest now?’

I forced my broken body to rise.

A brief rest.

And the Brilliant Blazing Fire.

With its power, I managed to walk.

‘I should be resting, but.’

Why did I invade this place?

It was because they were helping the resurrection of the Insect Dragon King.

Insect Dragon King.

That damned bastard who ruined my second life.

‘I can roughly guess its location.’

Below.

I sensed a sinister mana from there.

I searched the floor.

This was where the family head was.

So there should be a secret entrance.

‘Found it.’

I scanned the surroundings with mana carried by the wind.

Then, a place that appeared to be a secret entrance emerged.

‘Old-fashioned.’

Click.

When I opened the entrance, a dark space greeted me.

At the same time, the sinister mana became more palpable.

It seemed similar to the secret laboratory of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan from before.

‘Found it.’

There was a high probability that something related to the revival of the Insect Dragon King was here.
