I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 226
Cagaga River!
The emperor’s teeth collided with Ilho’s golden muscles, and sparks flew fiercely.
Even the dumbbell sword was lightly chewed down by the emperor’s jaw and teeth, but they couldn’t pierce Ilho’s blood-soaked neck muscles.
“How?”
“Hmph! What a weak tooth!”
Ilho smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
“Kuh!”
Then the emperor’s head, which was biting Ilho, bounced upward. Ilho, not missing the gap, threw his head back as hard as he could and jumped
.
Ilho’s head struck the emperor’s head from top to bottom as if hitting a nail with a hammer.
Go fast!
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
“Kwaaaaaa!”
Green blood spattered and the emperor’s body sank into the ground. Even
seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe
it. I can’t believe Ilho is overwhelming
that emperor!
How on
earth is that possible? “
The will of the highest god
?”
-Yes, the transcendent object, the only God.
Tsutsutsutsu!
Lazenca shone dazzlingly, and memories of someone flooded into my head like a tidal wave.
***
It was past, present, and future.
The muscular man howled with bloody tears.
“I couldn’t save my god!”
The god he worships was brutally devoured by the emperor.
“I couldn’t even protect my loved ones and my brothers!”
In the flames of the emperor who was angry, the saintess Anti and the divine Gaya America were reduced to ashes.
“하지만 나는 복수조차 할 수 없구나.”
복수를 위해 투신의 가호를 남용하며 나락과 싸운 황제는 결국 지구와 함께 자멸했으니까.
그것이 벌써 100년 전의 이야기였다.
시간이 얼어붙은 듯한 ‘공허의 시련’였지만 그가 그곳을 통과한 것은 현실의 시간이 100년이나 지난 후였다.
목표와 지켜야 할 이를 모두 잃었지만 사내는 시체 같은 몸을 억지로 움직이며 관성처럼 탑을 올랐다.
그것 말고는 그가 할 수 있는 것은 아무것도 없었으니까.
그리고 몇 년 후에 사내는 용사의 탑 50층에 이르렀다.
용사의 탑 50층 ‘선택의 시련’.
-나는 ‘한없이 베푸는 풍요’라 불리는 신의 인도자.
손에는 황금 낫을 움켜쥐고 탐스럽게 익은 밀밭을 닮은 금빛의 머리칼을 가진 여인이 가련한 눈으로 사내를 굽어보았다.
-선택하여라 용사여. 그대는 이대로 영겁토록 탑을 계속 올라 언젠가 모든 신들의 정점이라 불리는 최상급 신 구도의 신이 될 것인가?
아니면 기껏 공허의 시련에서 얻은 깨달음을 뒤로하고 다시 오욕이 들끓는 사바세계로 돌아갈 것인가?
선택의 순간 사내는 물었다.
“여신이시여. 한 가지 대답해 주십시오.”
-Something?
“I am… … If you climb the tower and become the highest god… … Can I save my precious ones?” -It
is difficult even for a god to change a predestined fate.
‘Endless bounty’ looked at the despairing warrior with tears in his eyes. -However,
as his godhood rises, a
god can distort time and space by consuming his causality. Just as ‘Guardian of Fire and Blacksmith’ returned a human named Kang Woo with the ‘sword of causality’ forged for 100,000 years. -If you, who is destined to become the highest god, “If there is a possibility, then it is enough
.
”
The man chose
“여신이여 저는 탑을 오르겠나이다.”
그것이 훗날 ‘영겁의 구도자’라 불리는 최상급 신의 시작이었다.
수억 년 후 마침내 최상급 신이 되어 모든 신들의 정점에 오른 사내는 자신의 모든 것을 바쳐 시공을 넘었다.
내가 아직 살아 있는 신이 되기 전의 시간대로.
비록 시공 이동의 대가로 기억의 일부를 잃었지만 그는 본능적으로 내게 친근함을 느끼며 수많은 도움을 주었다.
그러던 어느 날 내가 악신들과 싸우고 가야미국에 은총을 베푸는 모습을 보며 그는 깨닫게 된다.
-아아 이분이…… 나의…….
자신이 시공을 넘어 이 시대로 온 진정한 이유를.
-아아 유일신이시여. 성녀시여.
그러나 아이러니하게도 이 시대의 일호가 탑을 올라 강해질수록 영겁의 구도자가 된 사내는 점점 이 시대에 존재할 인과율을 잃게 되었다.
그리고 잔혹하게도 마침내 ‘영겁의 구도자’에게 선택의 시기가 오게 되었다.
현재의 일호가 만약 용사의 탑 50층에서 구도의 신이 되기 위해 탑을 오른다면 나 유일신과 신성 가야미국은 멸망한다.
하지만 그가 만약 탑을 내려와 나를 구하기 위해 지구로 강림한다면 수억 년 후 최상급 신이 될 ‘영겁의 구도자’는 존재하지 않게 된다.
-껄껄껄! 고민할 필요도 없는 문제구나!
사내는 선택했다.
본래라면 100년 후에나 ‘공허의 시련’을 통과할 자신에게 개입해 시련을 통과시키게 하고 자신의 기억을 일부 전해 주었다.
그리고 모든 사명을 끝낸 영겁의 구도자 미래의 일호는…….
-유일신이시여…… 부디 죽지 마소서…….
어그러진 인과에 휩쓸려 사라졌다.
***
라젠카가 말했다.
-슬프십니까? 초월 개체 유일신이시여?
내 눈에서 흐르던 눈물이 어느 순간부터 핏빛을 띠고 있었다.
-비록 미래의 ‘영겁의 구도자’는 소멸했지만 그분의 의지를 잇는 일호께서 계십니다.
마치 위로하듯 라젠카가 내게 속삭였다.
-보십시오 당신의 용사 일호 님의 모습을.
쾅! 쾅! 쾅!
“받아라! 황제 놈아! 이것이 궁극의 근육 펀치 연타다!”
Standing on the bloodied body of the emperor in a mounted position, Ilho was striking his fists imbued with divine power without stopping.
Kwadeuk! Quadduk!
The emperor, half of his body crushed, could not even scream at some point.
-If he is that person, even if he came down from the tower, one day he will surely rise to a level comparable to that of ‘The Seeker of Eternity’… … .
For a moment, Lazenca’s voice suddenly stopped.
Wheein! Wheein!
Suddenly, my vision turned red and a deafening alarm rang out.
bang!
Ilho’s fist, which was crushing the emperor’s body, stopped.
The emperor’s half-shattered lips opened with difficulty.
“It’s so good. the emperor I received the protection of the highest level god, ‘The Seeker of Eternity’, but I was barely beaten by an insect like that. Jim still couldn’t put everything down… … .”
Ilho
‘s fist, which the emperor was holding on to, began to be
crushed .
Ilho wrinkled his face as if in pain and tried to attack the emperor with his other fist.
“okay. I will also offer my burden. kill you guys… … If only I could chew that damn hell bastard… … .”
Chiiik!
Passusu!
The emperor’s body, emitting terrible heat, burned and gloomy gray ash flew
.
Quaaaaaa!
The protection of the god of battle that burned all of the emperor’s life exploded.
Please please trust me
Chiik!
Tsutsutsu!
The emperor’s half-crushed body regenerated back to its original form with the heat burning like a hot iron. At the same time, hexagonal horns sprouted from his head like a devil.
The red-hot eyes of the emperor capture Il-ho, who is perplexed.
“Jim hates bugs.”
“Keugh! Emperor!”
Il-ho, feeling ominous, clenched his teeth and struck the emperor’s head with another fist, but with the force of magic.
Swoop.
The emperor’s index finger was faster.
The emperor muttered in a languid voice as if he was drunk.
“Get out of Jim’s body, worm.”
Kwa
-kwa-kwa-kwang!
God’s flame exploded like a volcano from the emperor’s index finger
.
Caught in the emperor’s flame, Ilho’s body bounced into the sky like a rocket.
Shuk.
The emperor gazed at the number one, now only visible as a small dot in the sky.
“My servant, Poison Sword Nava.”
Awkward deuk!
As if a candle right before going out burns the brightest, as if the fading twilight is the most beautiful. Glow!
Glow!
The
wings of the flame-scorched Nava move from the Emperor’s back, and his model
soars
.
“Yeah, try so futilely. Bug.”
Flash! Bang! Kwak-kwa-kwang!
Golden flashes and sparks collided in the sky, and a thunderous explosion reverberated across the African continent. The overwhelming battle
of the gods, reminiscent of the Age of Mythology. However,
the balance of victory and defeat leaned against the emperor.
“Is this the end, Bug?”
“Huh! Huh! Not yet!”
Boom!
Ilho’s fist, clad in gold speculation, was firmly inserted into the emperor’s stomach, but the emperor didn’t even budge.
Awkward!
Rather, it was Ilho’s fist that shattered
.
“
Disappointed.”
The
emperor opened
his
mouth
wide
.
Wow!
Then, the emperor’s body was wrapped in dazzling golden speculation, just like number one.
“It’s quite a useful ability for an insect.”
That is the emperor’s skill, ‘Eating’, which can absorb the ability of the opponent who ate it.
Passus.
The emperor watched with dry eyes as his body was scattered with
ashes.
Ilho, who was gasping for a rough breath while clutching the wound on his shoulder, gnashed his teeth and let out a speculation.
“Don’t underestimate me! Emperor! Muscles, give me strength!”
Ilho’s golden fighting spirit shone in the sky like the sun. But
the reality was cruel.
I looked up at the sky with eyes full of tears.
“Stop that…!”
The power of the emperor, who neglected his own life, far exceeded that of Ilho.
Even though it was only for a moment, it seemed that the current emperor could reach even the highest god, the pinnacle of the gods.
“my… … please… … !”
Kwade deuk!
“Aaaaaaagh!”
With a gruesome scream, part of Ilho’s abdomen was ripped off again.
Jerking!
gulp!
Like a herbivore being eaten by a swarm of piranhas, Ilho was being eaten alive by the emperor.
If the emperor put his mind to it, it would be possible to end Ilho at once, but he did not.
The emperor opened his blood-soaked lips.
Then the Emperor’s voice bleakly penetrated my ears like a whisper.
-haha. Are you suffering or alone?
“Stop it please… … . rather kill me… … .”
-I can’t make it that easy. You stole Arachne and the empire I built for 500 years. Helplessly watch your precious follower get brutally murdered by Jim.
Quadduk!
“Aaaaaagh!”
