chapter 184
Those who cross the limit
Halfway through the passage to the real universe, I felt a strange change.
“Let’s pause.”
At my words, Leon and his siblings immediately stopped without asking why.
I closed my eyes.
behind… In other words, a storm of external force raged at the center of the universe, which was on a different level than what was thrown out by miscellaneous things. And then the strongest Martin disappeared.
‘Well… … .’
expanded the senses.
The strongest Martin who disappeared appeared in the real universe. In front of the king, who has been openly revealing his enormous presence a little while ago.
‘I got caught.’
I don’t know how the king summoned Martin, but the meaning of the king’s actions was clear.
‘They’re looking for me.’
As if to support this, another external storm occurred from behind, and one more Martin was moved into real space.
A sigh came out of my mouth.
‘You’ve changed too much.’
The power I felt from the king now was on a different level from what I had seen in the memory of ‘Star’.
What the hell happened in a short time of 10 years, it seems that it has almost doubled.
Until now, I had judged that if the king’s power was 1, my power would be roughly 0.7. So I thought that if my strength reached 1.4 by adding an extra-psychic force, I would be able to defeat the king.
Of course, this was a judgment that he and I could make because he was on the same level. There is no difference in quality, just in terms of quantity.
However, the current king had almost a power equal to 2.
A power that even I, before being sealed, did not have.
I even think that power may not be all about the king.
‘I can never win in a head-to-head confrontation.’
To defeat the current king, one more external power cylinder must be attached.
But in order to do that, I need to create another new power like an extrasensory force, but will that happen?
The second external force cylinder is also a force that was accidentally created in the universe that has been repeated countless times, but it would be close to impossible to escape and take time to create a third external force cylinder.
Of course, there is still hope.
How I knew, but gave up without giving it a second thought.
‘Should we dismantle the universe… … .’
If I dismantle the universe created by my power and bring that power, I think I might be able to compare it with that king somehow.
But if that happens, even if you win, you won’t be able to turn back the universe.
It’s a completely different story to return to the original model with the basic base in place and to create the same universe again after removing the base itself.
It’s not that I went through a lot of hard work to make a model model for no reason.
‘What should I do?’
Because the power of the king is more than I thought, I am now seriously thinking about the method I used to beat without thinking for a long time.
However, the time of concern did not last long.
“… Alice.”
“yes?”
“You can get rid of ‘fairy tale’ now.”
“Why why?”
I feel the king’s intense gaze through the hole.
He hadn’t even crossed into the real universe yet, but he noticed.
“I got caught.”
Leaving Ellis’ sphere and heading forward, he passed Leon, who was in the lead.
“Lord, Lord!”
“brother!”
“brother!”
I was in a daze as if I was embarrassed, and then I spoke to those who were trying to follow me.
“stop!”
“… … .”
He smiled at them and said.
“Go back and wait with your father. I’ll finish it soon.”
As I was about to turn around, I added a word just in case.
“Don’t go back to Loden.”
Worst case, the universe will disappear.
* * *
After looking at the strongest Martin for a while, the king opened his mouth.
[No.]
Again, the wave of external force spread out.
Pod!
A third Martin appeared.
[Not even this.]
I didn’t even look this time.
Pod! Pod! Pod!
The lights burst in succession, and with each flash, a Martin appeared.
“… Is that a king?”
“What the hell are you doing… … .”
When everyone except the king was confused, a Martin moved.
He was the first Martin summoned, and the strongest Martin except for the original Martin.
“Suck!”
The strongest Martin punches the face of the king who was only 3 meters away.
But his fist could not reach the king.
Quung-
A tremendous wave radiated from the king, giving the impression that the whole universe was vibrating, and the strongest Martin stood still with his arms half-stretched.
“You, this… … .”
No matter how hard you try, it won’t come loose.
The king glanced at the strongest Martin’s red-hot face and began to summon him again.
Pod! Pod! Pod!
Martin continues to be summoned.
When the number reached 50, the king stopped.
[Hmm… … .]
The king turned and stared into one of the holes.
Soon someone came out of there.
[Was it there?]
The king smiled contentedly and disappeared from the spot.
* * *
The moment I got out of the hole and entered the real universe, he appeared in front of me.
“Deden.”
is the name of a king
[It’s been a while since I’ve heard that name.]
It will.
No one would have called his name except for us.
[You have changed a lot, my nemesis.]
“You have changed a lot too.”
Looking at it this close, I really have nothing to say.
“What the hell have you done?”
[What is that again?]
“You have been stagnant for billions of years.”
It wasn’t for nothing that I was convinced that the King’s power wouldn’t have changed that much.
“But how can you become so strong in just 10 years?”
twice as much… … .
It really makes no sense.
[Ah, is that the story? Haha, I never thought I’d hear such words from the King… It seems that I have changed a lot.]
Kwaaa-
An enormous amount of external force exploded from the king’s body in an instant.
‘sh*t… … .’
2.2? 2.3?
This level of power, as expected, was not all that was visible.
The problem is that this power right now doesn’t seem to be his best either.
bang! bang! bang!
When the external force emitted from him hits, the stars explode.
At that moment, I stretched out my hand toward the Martins, Lamune, and Loki who were looking this way from afar.
They cannot withstand the king’s power.
‘go back.’
The external force escaped and moved them to the center of the universe.
All of a sudden, the remaining king’s servants exerted an external force, resisting the king’s power and shouting loudly.
[Wow, King!]
[We can’t stand it!]
[Have mercy!]
In a way, it is a cry close to a scream.
But the king did not even pay attention to them. He was just looking at me with calm eyes.
I could see that the difference in him wasn’t limited to his strength.
“… I remember caring for my own people in the past.”
It was a disaster to other races, but to Atlo, he was a saint.
All the Atlonians loved him and followed him wholeheartedly.
However, now he has become a tyrant who does not even pay attention to the fact that his servants who have been with him for many years are dying painfully because of him.
Not long after, the tyrant’s servants disappeared without even being reduced to dust.
said the king.
[I have already surpassed the king.]
My eyes naturally turned to his head.
The six horns, the symbol of Atlo nobility, were nowhere to be seen.
[Atlo is too small to contain me.]
The space around his body began to warp and finally break away from the real universe.
Various voids appeared here and there around his body, like fruit on a tree.
[I will erase everything that exists in the universe and start anew as a god.]
He smiled bizarrely and looked at me.
[I will be reborn as the only god in this universe. One God is enough. Isn’t that right, Martin?]
power that grows.
Even if you only focus on enduring, the consumption of external forces is not small.
But I opened my mouth.
“… You haven’t crossed the line yet.”
[That will naturally be resolved once everything in this universe is eliminated.]
“You are evil. Up until now, you’ve been a good guy, at least to Atlo.”
he shrugged.
[Good and evil, what is important to God? The important thing is that the country exists itself.]
he closed his eyes
[I will give you time to organize your mind.]
“… I will not decline.”
I also closed my eyes.
Closing your eyes in front of that mighty king would be considered foolish indeed. But I was sure he wouldn’t attack me.
An old nemesis I met on the last journey to get out of the ranks of the 1st class.
Isn’t it fantastic I would have done the same as him.
Of course, I also believed that he, who had lived his whole life as a noble king, would not overturn what he said to me, who was clearly a minion.
‘Notified.’
In the middle of the aisle, Arlene, her face distorted, is seen pounding relentlessly on the curtain of her father’s embodied fantasy.
“please! please!”
The younger siblings holding on to Aline.
Arlene stopped moving and shouted at her tired-looking father.
“Please get rid of this! please! I have to go! I have to help my brother!”
Father shook his head with a bitter face.
“Notified… do not do that. Let’s trust Martin and wait.”
“He’s a monster that oppa alone can’t deal with! I have to go! Please get rid of this wall, Father!”
Father’s eyes are shaking.
But apart from that, the curtain was getting stronger.
I knew that the veil was connected to my father’s spirit. My father didn’t bother to hide that fact. The reason Arlene couldn’t break the veil was not because she lacked strength, but because of that.
“If you are going, kill me and go.”
“father!”
“My heart is no different from yours, Arlene. But we… It’s just a hindrance to Martin. Don’t you know?”
“I can do it! If I fully express my characteristics!”
Attribute, one who goes beyond limits.
Under the assumption that you are prepared for death, there is no better trait than Aline’s.
However, no matter how far Alin throws her limits, she cannot reach the king. You can’t even hurt me.
My father’s judgment was perfectly right.
Although Arleen is said to have first-class powers, the King will be able to kill him just by looking at him.
It is not a gap that can be narrowed just by crossing the limit in the first place.
But all of a sudden, I had a thought.
‘If I use Aline’s characteristics… … ?’
Wouldn’t that be a bit different then? Could I reach that king?
But I was hesitant.
Because when that happens, you never know what will happen to Aline.
‘Couldn’t he die?’
If you don’t die, it’s worth a try.
After thinking for a while, the king opened his mouth.
[The momentum has changed. Did you find a way?]
I opened my eyes.
He said my momentum had changed, but it wasn’t just my momentum that had changed.
The external force that revolved around his body was full of life that had never been seen before.
[You were a true man who made miracles. Just by changing my mind, I reversed the situation where I was certain to lose, and always won.]
After repeating that victory, I surpassed Atlo, the ruling species of the universe,
In the end, he became the king.
[I gave you time to organize your mind, did you finally find a way to deal with me. He is also the king.]
His words made my eyes light up.
‘Found it… … .’
He may not know what Aline’s traits are.
Even so, he says it could be a way to deal with him.
It must have been a hunch based on the king’s instinct.
Then it will be.
The intuition of a person who has ruled the real universe for a long time is incomparable to mine.
‘Thank you.’
His words gave me confidence.
[You are much weaker than I am now, but I still do not despise you. Supreme King, our relationship will end with this.]
His hand turned to me.
