Chapter 250: Her Situation – 2
#1
-You’re strong, even in my own world, there’s probably no one there as strong as you
L said as if she saw his footages on tv.
-I don’t know if I just ruined the sights for an Absolute of the other world
-Hoho... no, it was fun, like watching human warriors that existed in Elus a long time ago.
As the golden man’s attack ceased, Jaehwang also took away his mana.
“Right now was time for discovery anyway,” Jaehwang said. “But I have a question. Did you send that monster that appeared at the airport?”
-No, I was wondering what it was when I saw it on TV. It didn’t come from my dimension.
-I see.
-I also have a question for you.
-Tell me.
-Are there more human beings on this earth as strong as you are?
-I don’t know about that either since the others could just be hiding their strengths. It has not been long since I attained godhood.
-Ho-ho, you’re honest, a very desirable state for a transcendent being.
The dragon even advises as if she’s crushing on Jaehwang.
“But by the way, it seems that I underestimated the earth so much since strong beings like you exist.”
Surprisingly, he didn’t feel even a hint of fear in her voice. Indeed, as Baeklin said, she was an absolute figure belonging to the 12th tier. She was being so arrogant and now, Jaehwang was about to get everything that he needs.
-Are we destined to fight each other?
Jaehwang said it in a somewhat sad tone.
-Okay, since you are similar to me, you know how important it is to keep a promise. Moreover, what humans have done in El is not just a few lives. It wasn’t enough to twist the fate of beings living in Elus. They have to pay the price.
-I see.
What L was saying didn’t really make sense to Jaehwang, but gods must have their own laws they live by. L then said in a quiet voice,
-Of course, there are ways to not fight.
-What is it?
-You’re going to come over to Elus and become a god. The divinity you give off could easily erase the adverse effects of humans in Elus’ history. No. If you want, I can help you with that thing Baeklin wanted.
The eyes of Jaehwang flashed at L’s words.
-What is it?
-Aren’t you thinking about dimensional stabilization?
-Yes.
-I’ll help you. It’s a little bothersome for me too.
With her proposal, Jaehwang’s mind came into conflict.
-I heard Baeklin say that you are in the position of the bystander. Isn’t it?
-That’s right. We don’t care whether the dimensions merge or stabilize again. Really, if that happened, we would just be here to re-used the ancient magic that was sealed to keep our worlds safe. Mortals really are the cause of the destruction of the world.
-And the price is...
-You stay in Elus, how is that?
Jaehwang froze at her words. In fact, the dimensional separation method that he considered was very dangerous.
The danger was that Jaehwang will be trapped in Dark Earth. Of course, even with Goongi, his chance of survival was still pretty low but now, this dragon’s offer came into play.
-Give me time to think about this.
-Good, you have four days. I’ll just attack the humans as promised.
-Okay.
-It’s been a long time since I met another transcendent. Hohoho. See you then.
*vanish*
At the end of L’s words, the golden rays of light covering the temporary base sky were scattered.
Jaehwang’s conversation with L felt long but in reality, it was just a moment.
“Uh, she’s gone.”
Dongcheol said when the golden aura that was covering up the temporary base disappeared immediately.
*punch*
“Noob”
“Ah, why hit me!”
“Because you deserve it, damn I have nothing to say, Whoa...”
Only Kwon Je noticed it to some extent and now, he sighed, realizing that his power was now out of his reach.
“Can I hit you too?” Dongcheol clasped his fist.
“Aren’t you pushing your limits a lot lately? You’re a father now so you should be careful.”
“Oh, true.” Dongcheol clapped his hands in agreement. However, there was still a hint of rebellion in his eyes.
Jaehwang laughed as he looked at the two chatting together. The affinity between Kwon Je and Dongcheol was surprisingly good. Kwon Je was also laughing over Dongcheol’s tease which was unimaginable in the past.
He then placed his baggage down hanging over his shoulder. “I will go in first and rest.”
“Hmmm, okay.”
Kwon Je, who was struggling with Dongcheol, seemed to have something to say to Jaehwang but just nodded after seeing Jaehwang’s face. Now, it’s a matter of his own power. Only Jaehwang could be troubled... now, Kwon Je was fully realizing that his grandson was way out of his league.
#2
The room assigned to Jaehwang was luxurious enough to be called a five-star hotel but now, Jaehwang had no interest in them.
Jaehwang, who sighed low when he closed the door, looked around with his god senses and after a while, he felt safe that L’s energy was nowhere to be found.
*chhh..chh..chh*
A brilliant red light was emitted around the body of Jaehwang. It was much more intense than the one he used to confront L as it formed a film around his body. This act prevents L from peeking while hiding in the air. Jaehwang then asked.
-Did the plan succeed?
-I think so.
It wasn’t just the reason for Jaehwang’s increase in divinity that he changed his tier 9 mana stone. The real reason was to stimulate the dragon and based on the response that was derived from it, the dragon’s power was estimated. Until now, so much information about the dragon was revealed that it was stimulated to react in that way.
-And the conclusion?
-She’s very strong.
-Yes, the more we discover about her, the stronger she seemed to be. She’s arrogant too.
-Well, she’s talking as if she could defeat you easily.
Jaehwang nodded at her analysis.
At the airport, Jaehwang only exuded 30% of his real power.
That could afford him to beat two tier-9 monsters. He did all kinds of colorful shows, but they were just for show. That was, of course, expected. The information that Jaehwang was obtaining right now was very different than he thought.
-What are you going to do? When you measured up the dragon, to my knowledge, the dragon’s position was greater than you and me combined. Of course, the opponent was disconnected from the power to cross the dimension, but it’s pretty much more than the amount you have now.
-That means I cannot do the Raid alone.
-Right.
The help of others was nothing but an interruption.
Before measuring the strength of the dragon, raid prerequisites were needed. It must be the same level of divinity as Jaehwang or have a sacred force with the power to negate the deity. If one can’t fill either, they won’t even be qualified to stand by.
-I’ll do it as planned.
-As what we anticipated?
Jaehwang replied with a trembling voice.
-I can’t help it.
Jaehwang laughed bitterly. From now on, he will have to stand alone.
Of course, Jaehwang had a plan. Jaehwang had never used his entire power, to begin with. He was planning to let himself loose.
-I don’t like humans as usual. You try this hard and they don’t even know anything.
*Shhhhhh*
*flying sound*
Goongi appeared and wrapped herself around the shoulders of Jaehwang, he was now bigger than her.
“I have you. I’m good with that.”
Jaehwang raised his hand and stroked the head of Goongi.
“Oh, how dare you touch me,” Goongi said this, but it seemed like she didn’t mind it as she held a thin smile at the corner of her mouth.
“Did it make you think twice when the dragon told you that you should be a god?”
“Yes.” Jaehwang nodded. Jaehwang was not crazy about fighting, he would do his best to avoid it if he could.
“But why did you refuse?”
“Well, I don’t know either. I just felt uncomfortable? ”
Although L’s proposal was unconventional, Jaehwang felt an unknown dread behind her words.
“Uncomfortable. Well. Is it still lacking? Think about it. One clue is that L is very greedy.”
Jaehwang’s face was slightly hardened at Goongi’s remark. Goongi wanted Jaehwang to find out for himself rather than telling him the answer now. To Jaehwang, Goongi was a companion, a friend, and a senior who walked before him, and she was teaching Jaehwang in such a way that Jaehwang could come to an understanding rather than explaining everything in detail.
“A very simple problem.”
“Simple problem...”
Jaehwang closed his eyes in thought over Goongi and L’s words. How much time has passed? Jaehwang’s eyebrows came together, and he opened his eyes.
“She tried to own me.”
Goongi nodded.
“Okay, the foundation of your power is on earth. You’ll only be half as strong if you were to go with her in Elus. You won’t be able to reach her power by then.”
“Subordinate god... my foundation... my strength...” Jaehwang contemplated on the words of Goongi, something started to bother him.
“You’re a fast schoolboy. I’ll give you a prize,” Goongi whispered in the ear of the thoughtful Jaehwang.
“That ‘save’ is just mimicking god. The keywords are in the status bar.”
The word of Goongi was the catalyst. Jaehwang felt that all the thoughts that floated in his head were released one by one. Yes, the answer was in the status window. The only miracle allowed by humans to save Earth’s Defense System. The Status Window... Jaehwang could recall what was forgotten.
‘Truth’
Take out your past memories and reassemble the status window.
Master of Chintamani jewel, Sniper of the Magi, Silent Stalker...
This was the true name in the previous status window.
If this was the work of a save that mimics god...
“Then truth mimicked myths.”
The pieces of knowledge made sense one by one.
It was not broken. Why did he just notice its existence? The memories began to recombine again as if it was already prepared beforehand.
[The myth]
-Master of Goongi(S), Master of Arrow(S), The Judge(S), Master of the Martial Arts House(S)
A new text has been created in the status window. Jaehwang was empowered.
They were his own. ‘Myth’ was screaming steadily for Jaehwang to notice him, but he had no ears to hear their cry. They had no eye to see it.
Goongi then said, “It’s a side effect, well whatever, because you became a demigod with the help of the Chintamani jewel... you’ve missed out on a lot of information you needed to get.”
“It’s really amazing that I became a demigod, I’m still so clumsy.”
Jaehwang shook his head. If not for Goongi, how many years would it have taken? It might have taken decades. No, perhaps it would not even come across his mind.
“Are these four factors deserve to be considered a myth? It’s not a lot”
“This is not a lot?” Jaehwang asked Goongi. Each one of those myths had the power that could not be quantified.
Funny enough, enlightenment made him stronger than ever. He wondered if a god was such a light being.
“Of course, want to see mine?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, just don’t be shocked.”
The confident Goongi swiped her hand in front of Jaehwang and the text appeared in front of his eyes.
[Myth]
-Protector of the west(SS) Power to Hide the Truth(SS) Four Fierce God(SS) Companion of the Archer(SS)
-Spirit of Tigers(S), Power to Slice Everything(S) Teeth that Bites Everything(A)
-Stomach that Eats Monsters(A)
-Line of Confusion(A)
...
If you consider all the small ones, she has more than twenty. By sheer numbers, what she had was way more than Jaehwang.
“Hohoho... see? It’s fabulous isn’t it?”
“It’s all great but what is Four Fierce God and Line of Confusion?” Jaehwang asked the bragging Goongi.
“Stop asking such things!”
*CHHHHHH*
Goongi who closed her myths angrily and turned her head. She seems very upset, but Jaehwang awkwardly embraced the shoulders of Goongi.
“Thank you always.”
“Huh, With only just words?” Goongi shook her head and snorted.
“If not just words...” Jaehwang hugged her in front of his chest and gazed at her.
“Well, ah... or?” Goongi’s cheeks glowed red. Even after living for thousands of years, she has butterflies in her stomach.
A pink air, which grew quietly from Goongi, wrapped the two. It was the energy that represents her feelings.
Looking at her face, Jaehwang whispered, “I will be as strong as possible so that I can be with you for a long time to come. I will work hard.”
“...”
“...”
“That’s it?”
“Hmm? What else do you need?”
At Jaehwang’s response, Goongi’s eyes tremble. Because of happiness? No, from disappointment and now her eyes burned with anger.
“You jerk!!....GRRRRRRR” Her forehead popped a vein as she grabbed his neck.
“AGHH!” The embarrassed Jaehwang collapsed, screaming at the unexpected surprise attack.
“I’m going to kill you! Die! Die! Be my food! You dumbass!”
“It hurts!”
“Yeah, I want it to hurt!”
