Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 140

# 140

140

If Bom had normal facial features, she would probably be looking upset right now.

Soon, all thirty people turned their attention to the dragon spray placed on the floor.

No, not everything.

Still, the man, who seemed to have some regrets, scratched the back of his head.

“Um… then can I just take a dragon sprayer or something and continue climbing?”

< Of course not, you idiot! Oh, it's spinning! do you know this? You are all assholes! I'm just a crazy person who urinates and urinates because I'm scared of just one human - >

That moment.

Bom, who was so angry and started swearing, was unable to continue speaking.

Because a strange feeling passed by.

“Melcanon brainwashing. “How do you solve it?”

< ... >

I got goosebumps.

In human terms, I would say it is the sensation of a chill on the back of the neck and the hair standing on end.

This monster exudes a spirit that transcends even the boundaries of ‘species’.

“Tell me how to break the brainwashing. And then I will kill you.”

< .... >

“I guess you didn’t think you would survive even with such modifications.”

Jaeseungjabak.

It’s like being completely driven off a cliff.

< Brainwashing, so... >

Bom, frozen to the ground, began to struggle to squeeze out her voice.

Breaking brainwashing isn’t difficult.

Just remove the tentacle-like devices attached to the head and limbs.

Of course, the moment someone tries to forcibly remove it, three chimeras hidden in the field appear and brutally tear to death the person trying to commit an impure act.

For reference, all three are chimeras, identical to the giant dragons on the 100th floor.

In other words, anyone who climbs the tower normally will die without even being able to resist.

However, this monster that killed a giant dragon in 1 minute and 30 seconds must be different.

The moment you tell them how to break the brainwashing, everything will end.

Your life and this tower.

< Brainwashing... So, brainwashing... >

Bom, cornered, stuttered in a trembling voice.

Daesung was annoyed by the sight, which clearly showed that he was procrastinating on purpose, so he swung his fist again.

But just before the tip of the fist touches the guy’s torso

…

Suddenly, the entire visible world became black and white.

At the same time, Daesung’s fist, which was extending at a furious speed, stopped in midair.

More precisely, it ‘slowed down’.

Like a camera shooting at high speed.

“…?”

Daesung’s eyebrows arched upward as he faced an inexplicable situation.

But even the eyebrows are raised at a slow pace.

Daesung’s blood-red eyes slowly rolled to the side and looked in the direction of the thirty people.

“Uh…”

“What…”

“This…”

It seemed like other people were caught up in an unknown situation as well.

People in shock tried to say something, but even their voices came out slowly in the slow time.

The moment where the lips open and close and the eyelids blink once is stretched by 5 seconds.

< I made you the manager, and you made a huge mess of the tower you had worked so hard to build. >

In the slowed down time, a ghost appeared, moving alone at normal speed.

Ghost.

The figure, covered in an old blanket and with blue eyes flashing over a face submerged in pitch black, could be more appropriately described as a ghost.

I had no idea when it appeared.

The ghost’s right hand, which was a mess of mechanical parts, was holding a rough silver sword.

< Oops...! >

Bom tried to let out an expression of astonishment.

While everyone was struggling as if in a state of weightlessness, the ghost’s haunting voice rang out.

< Let’s start again from the beginning. These guys are all failures. >

Sigh!

The sword light spread eerily.

As soon as a silver line was drawn in the air, five people were cut in half and died.

Apricot-colored intestines and bright red blood rise into the air and dance slowly.

“…!”

The other 25 people who saw the tragedy opened their eyes wide.

Her cheeks twitched and her lips parted.

< Are you trying to scream? I'm sorry, but I hate noise the most. >

However, when time slows down, even screams do not decrease.

The ghost swung the silver sword again.

Suddenly!

A person’s life is lost as easily as dust is swept away by a brush.

“Bwa…!”

“Knock…!”

“evil…!”

Still, the speed at which the complexion turned blue or pale was fast.

It was so scary that those whose lives were still hanging on would faint.

Death approaches just a stone’s throw away, but the body refuses to move as if it were filled with water.

How is this any different from a cow in a slaughterhouse where its entire body is tied up and killed by a butcher?

< I was always curious. >

Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

The ghost swung the silver sword without stopping. There was constant bleeding.

The internal organs that had not yet fallen to the floor were floating in the air like a loach floating in an aquarium.

The faces of people with expressions of pain and despair fall slowly, very slowly.

< As time slows down, death also approaches slowly. >

So.

All thirty people were turned into demons by the silver sword wielded by the ghost.

Should we say ‘in an instant’?

In reality, it lasts less than 5 seconds.

But ‘slow time’ extended it to 3 minutes.

< It's hard. >

The ghost shook off the red blood and flesh that stuck to the blade of the silver sword.

And the eyes glowed pale blue.

Patter!

The blood, face, flesh, and intestines that were flying in the air fell to the ground at the same time.

Time has returned to its original state.

“….”

Daesung’s eyes sparkled coldly.

Unless you are an idiot, you cannot fail to know that the ghost has the power to ‘increase the flow of time’.

‘I guess that’s what the Hekar people were talking about.’

A Gishin tribe that moves alone in a world where everything has slowed down.

In that case, that ghost must have been the one who kidnapped Melcanon.

< What is going on in the Tower of Germination with ‘Unit 3’? >

Spring, which came back from the dead, flew towards the ghost called ‘Unit 3’.

Unit 3 said as he stepped on a puddle of blood on the floor.

< I came here to inspect the tower, and it was so absurd that I couldn't even speak. > < It's all because of that white-haired human...! >

< It's a truth that can be said to be eternal, regardless of race or dimension. Do you know what is? >

< Yes? >

< 'The world is a result.' >

A long black shadow was cast vertically on the round body of spring.

Soon, the silver blade filled the dark shadow and

suddenly…

Just like that, the spring split into two and collapsed downwards.

I ended up rolling around like the corpses of people I thought were so insignificant.

< Are you going to gather all those who have already climbed up ahead to kill that one guy? In order to eliminate a minor variable, they have brought about a bigger variable. >

Unit 3 spoke calmly in a pitchless mechanical tone and turned his head.

Daesung was standing there with a completely emotionless face.

“Now you’re finally looking at this side.”

< Are you the variable? >

“Forget the meaningless questions and just answer what I say. “How can we solve Great Sage Melcanon’s brainwashing?”

< I heard that humans are creatures that are influenced and swayed by ‘emotion’ more than any other species. But even in this situation, your expression doesn't change at all. The temperature is the same too. What happened? >

Daesung had no intention of continuing to join in the conversation that continued to run in parallel directions.

Hwareuk-.

A spark formed in his right hand.

The most basic application skill that condenses magical energy to create a fireball.

Unit 3, who saw the soft scarlet fireball, said as if it was laughable.

< Are you going to throw that at me, who survived even when covered in lava? > It

was so absurd that I had no motivation to slow down time.

But Daesung didn’t care about the guy’s reaction and threw a fireball.

To the ceiling near Unit 3.

Grumbling-!

< Above? >

A loud bang erupted and the ceiling collapsed.

Debris as sharp as stalactites rained down on Unit 3’s head without hesitation.

< You're using a shallow trick. >

Unit 3 swung the silver sword and cut down the falling rocks with ease.

Debris beyond the reach of the wide blade collided with the floor, raising a cloud of dust.

The inside of the cave, which was already dark, was covered with dust, making it impossible to see an inch in front of you.

Only then did Unit 3 realize what Daesung was truly aiming for.

< Are they trying to take advantage of the disruption in vision to target emptiness? >

It is not a foolish decision.

The enemy must also have realized that his ability slows down the passage of time.

It seemed like a ploy to try to find as many opportunities for attack as possible in this way, as it was difficult to attack with regular attacks.

< Even humans can organize this if they use their brains. However, it is nothing more than a struggle. >

The situation where dust interferes with the naked eye did not apply to Unit 3.

Because, as a machine, he can track the ‘body temperature’ of living things.

When the body temperature tracking function was activated, the warmth of the creature was immediately detected.

< ...Hmm? >

I could feel the warmth. And that too vividly.

The problem was that there were about twenty pieces of warmth.

‘I guess he’s the only one on the 50th floor?’

It’s not the warmth radiating from the corpses and intestines lined up on the floor.

However, the body temperature detection function is not so sloppy that it cannot distinguish between the warmth of the living and the dead.

‘What happened?’

All twenty temperatures exceeded 37 to 38 degrees. This was clearly a body temperature that only the living could produce.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s clear that he’s come up with some trick.

ridge-!

Unit 3’s single blue eye glowed.

Then once again, my vision became black and white and time stretched out.

‘Just check them one by one and that’s it.’

No matter what variables come our way, we are helpless in the face of slowing time.

Unit 3 walked slowly on the prepared stage, holding the silver sword.

He first checked the identity of the warmth closest to him.

‘…Undead?’

When the veil of dust was lifted, what was revealed was an undead with rotten skin.

However, its appearance was a little different from the undead that Unit 3 knew.

Because the undead’s skin was burning red like a furnace.

I don’t know what on earth a living corpse can do to generate such intense heat, but one thing is certain.

< It looks like they raised the body temperature of the undead by over 36 degrees and camouflaged them like the living. >

They built a so-called forest to hide themselves by erecting trees.

In that case, most of the remaining nineteen would also be undead.

One of them must be him.

‘Up to 3 minutes.’

Although it is a contradictory statement, the maximum time that Unit 3 could slow down time was 3 minutes.

It is not difficult to find the ‘real’ enemy among these nineteen fevers.

Just when he was about to take a step towards the next ‘body temperature’.

Flash-.

< ...! >

The brilliance swirled for a moment.

Soon, a flash of light flew from Unit 3’s blind spot, engulfing the rising dust.

First there was light, followed by a tremendous roar.

Grumbling-!

< Dragon Spray...! >

Unit 3 was able to immediately recognize the identity of the flash.

The 99th floor’s reward ‘Dragon Spray’ came out of nowhere.

< Damn you, human! >

Unit 3 cursed and curled up its entire body, almost as if it was flying.

No matter how much time is stretched, light is still light. Before I realized it, the ray of light had already come a short distance away.

Huh-!

The flash of dragon spray narrowly passed over Unit 3’s head.

The upper part of the blanket covered over the body disappeared, revealing Unit 3’s bare face.

< This is coming out interestingly...! >

Fortunately, because time slowed down, I was able to recognize the flash of light coming.

Of course, even if it was a dragon-killing ray, Unit 3 was not weak enough to die immediately if hit by it.

Instead, he would have been fatally injured, and if that were the case, something would have happened to this ‘time stone’ that was stuck like a single eye.

Without the time stone, the ability to extend the flow of time also disappears. This means losing your biggest weapon.

< This may have been a turning blow for you, but now you have ended up holding yourself back. >

Sigh!

Unit 3 stood up, sticking the silver sword into the floor and using it as support.

And then I looked in the direction where the light ray had just come from.

I became convinced that if I went there, there would definitely be one.

And the confidence was not misplaced.

< It was here. >

Unit 3 glared at Daesung, who had his arm outstretched with the dragon sprayer mounted on one hand.

Even though he was in a situation where he was stuck, Daesung’s expression was always indifferent.

< Thanks to you, I was able to see the human intellect that I once looked down on. >

Suddenly!

The silver sword drawn in a horizontal line cut Daeseong’s neck cleanly.

Unit 3 looked directly at Daesung’s face, which was flowing with fresh blood.

< Even after death, his expression doesn't change at all. I don't mean to be insulting, but I wanted to dissect the corpse and find out your identity. >

He restored the flow of time by grabbing the water supply floating in the air.

The moment when the blood gushing from the cross section of the severed neck wet Unit 3’s face.

Kwasik!

A thick human arm pierced Unit 3’s chest and protruded out.

< ...?! >

Unit 3 was shocked and looked down at the arm that had pierced his chest.

A human hand covered in black oil, like dark red blood.

The ‘mechanical heart’ of Unit 3 was held there.

“You said earlier that you were always curious.”

Daesung, standing behind Unit 3, whispered in a cold voice.

“As time slows down, death also approaches slowly.”

Unit 3’s vision gradually began to darken.

In the overwhelming darkness, only Daesung’s voice was heard clearly.

“Shall I give you a chance to find out?”

Daesung crushed the mechanical heart.

Crackling-!

There was a sound of aluminum crumpling, and the heart took on a bad shape.

The words disappeared from Unit 3.

As he dropped his head, Daesung’s decapitated clone became a shadow and dispersed.

‘If he had been able to keep expanding the passage of time, I might have lost.’

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

There was a time limit to the ability, and there was also room for loopholes.

At that point, Daesung already had no doubt that he would win.

Slurp-.

Daeseong de-summoned the command soldier he had deployed immediately after collapsing the ceiling.

‘The commander’s unique power, < Gwanghwa >, was a great help.’

< Gwanghwa > is an ability that increases combat power by covering the bodies of command soldiers with ‘fire of madness’.

I placed it there just in case to increase the confusion in Unit 3 as much as possible, but I had no idea that this would be an unexpected trick.

The fact that Bom brought out a bunch of dragon sprays on the 50th floor also had a positive effect.

However, Daesung did not think that he won because of ‘luck’.

A fighting method that only applies things around you is a matter of skill, not luck.

[The Ancient Race of the Floating Factory, ‘Unit 3 Salvation Lake’, has been destroyed.] [

The legacy of the Salvador Salvation will be inherited by the Absolute One who has achieved victory.]

[You have acquired the ‘Time Stone of Delay’. ]

At this time, the system displayed such a message at a completely unexpected time.

Then, the single blue eye of the silent Unit 3 appeared and landed on Daesung’s hand.

As I looked closely at the single eye shining brightly like crystal, the information was updated.

[Item Information]

Name: Time Stone of Delay

Category: Equipment

A miraculous stone given to the God of Machines by the old generation Gishin tribe, named Unit 3. However, if a race other than the Kishin tribe uses it, the miraculous power in the stone is downgraded.’

Unique Performance: Activates a unique barrier with a radius of 10m that slows down the passage of time. It can last up to 30 seconds, but can only perform miracles five times.

A stone that slows down the flow of time!

I felt that it was special compared to the rewards I had received so far.

‘I don’t even have the power to play with time.’

Now that power is in his hands.

Although it had a short duration of 30 seconds and could only be used five times, it didn’t matter.

‘I should only use it when I really need it.’

While Daesung was putting the time stone into subspace, he called out to Alia.

The fact that Bom and Unit 3 are dead means that there is no longer anyone who can tell us how to turn back the brainwashed Melcanon.

Since they are both machines, the method of digging up information using < deaf eyes > does not work.

So Daesung decided to place his last hope on Alia.

“Great Sage!”

Alia cried out in a sorrowful voice after seeing Melcanon entangled in tentacles.

Alia burst into tears as the great sage was like an idol to the Hekar tribe.

I understand how sad you are, but I don’t have time to offer words of comfort.

“That guy was brainwashed. Do you know how to undo that brainwashing?”

“Huh… Hah… I don’t even know how to undo the brainwashing. Ha, but I think I know how to return the Great Sage to his original state. Hmm…”

“What is that?”

“Well… The Great Sage’s true body is the ‘brain.’ “His brain contains his life, soul, and all the knowledge he has ever achieved.”

Alia continued speaking, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.

“As long as we have the Great Sage’s intact ‘brain’, the adults will be able to lift the brainwashing and restore the body. “Well…”

“If only I had a perfect brain…”

As soon as he could decide what to do, Daesung walked towards the restrained Melcanon.

Perhaps sensing impure intentions, the tower hurriedly summoned three giant dragons.

5 minutes later.

Daeseong stepped over the corpses of three giant dragons that had become rags.

Note that.

Just because he was brainwashed, Melcanon is not completely unconscious.

Of course, I have seen everything that has happened and heard everything that has been said.

That’s why Melcanon said this with a dark look on his face.

“Hmm, you’re removing my brain? “It would be better to stop doing such evil things.”

“If you want him to stop, calmly tell him how to remove the brainwashing.”

“I don’t consider myself brainwashed.”

“That’s why your brain is being removed.”

Daesung swung his fist like a hammer and crushed the top of Melcanon’s head.

Then he dipped his hand into the skull overflowing with brain fluid and pulled out the brain without hesitation.

“Ugh….Poor Great Sage….”

Alia sobbed behind her.
