I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 265

I was in pitch-black darkness, unable to see an inch ahead.

kang! kang!

As if guiding me, I heard the sound of hammering with divinity like the dawn waking me up in the morning.

I followed the sound as instinctively as a newborn puppy follows the smell of its mother’s milk.

And saw.

Wow!

A gigantic brazier spewing raging flames with the force of an active volcano.

The one who was pounding the red-hot metal in front of him with a giant hammer.

kang! kang! kang!

The white hair covering the floor like snow and the green moss growing on his body gave us an idea of how long he had been hammering at this spot.

It was the first time I had actually seen him, but I thought I knew who he was.

The god he saw in the memories of Kang Woo, a regressor from his previous life.

“Fire and Blacksmith’s… … Guardian?”

Kkong! Kkong! Kkong!

The old god opened his dry rice field-like lips without stopping hammering. -Young god who

inherited the sword of causality from my apostle. After going round and round for a long time of reincarnation, one chance finally came. A voice like the sound of his pounding struck the soul. Just as you obtained a divine sword and a divine spear, you must also acquire a sacred weapon in order to change the fate

of

destruction

.

I recalled the top-level gods I had met.

Like the golden sickle of ‘Endless Abundance’ or the sword of commitment in ‘War of Murder and Madness,’ the gods used their own weapons. Now that I lost the Heavenly Demon, I was in dire need of a weapon to replace him. But there was something that the Old God said. There will be no birth. The old god continued. -But everything needs a price. In order to gain great power, you have to pay that much. Sigh. The old god’s deep gaze, embracing countless frustrations and despair, seemed to pierce me. -Young god, are you ready for

that

?

100101

!

Stop

getting

up

!

”

I groaned and opened my eyes at the loudly shaking hands.

“Ugh.”

Is it just a dream? Or is it some kind of

precognitive dream? I hold my forehead at the afterglow of hammering that still lingers in my ears.

Sharak.

Luscious, glossy red hair brushed my cheek. At the same time, the scent of freesia stung my nose

.

A beautiful woman with wet deer-like eyes sat on top of me and smiled.

The immaculate skin visible through the tangled shirt was very captivating, but don’t be fooled. This guy is the owner of the XY chromosome, that is, the dirty man.

“Get out of the way right now before I kill you

.”

It’s creepy, man, stop snoring!

A whining arm pushed him away and he pulled himself up from the bed.

The room I am in now is not like the Gosiwon I was in before.

The area was ten times larger and was filled with luxurious facilities reminiscent of a suite in a top-notch hotel, and this is because of the three gods I put forward as a substitute.

I heard that he still hasn’t finished repairing the hole he made in the floor during training.

And I went from being a cadet on the verge of failing at the lowest grade, G, to an elite genius who was expected by the Human Union all at once.

‘Should I like this or should I say it’s ruined?’

First of all, it was nice to come out of that kosiwon-like room, but I thought it would be better not to draw attention to doing something secretly.

Hey, three gods. Do some power control.

“As expected, I knew that 100101 would do it someday! Even though it’s temporary, to get an S-class aptitude from a G-class at once! It’s unprecedented in academy history! After all, my partner!”

Of course, I’m not alone in this room. I was with Pal, who was talking excitedly over there.

I said as I put on my crisply ironed student uniform

.

“Arm? Did you ever say that to me?”

“Yes. I’m too lazy to call you by your first name, so let’s just use your first name.

For example, a bird or a dragon. It’s a good castle where you can feel the spirit of each one.

“The name my partner gave me… … I’ll cherish it.”

His arms stared at me with eyes moistened with tears, as if he was thrilled. Even his cheeks turned a little red. A beauty that slaps the cheeks of a tolerable actress. It seems that this guy was born with the wrong gender. This reaction is a little over-the-top as he gave it a name, but in this world where individuals are identified by numbers, the name was special. It was said that he was given a gift from the president, who is now vacant. By the way, I want to meet that omnipotent AI, too. Thanks to Samshin, I received an S-class aptitude, so I wonder if there will be a

chance

to

face

him

someday

.

“Yes!”

I headed towards the cafeteria with Pal nodding vigorously

.

“Ha, yes… … .”

I sighed as I looked down at what was on the tray.

All black but one-sized sticks of organic matter and a few colorful pills.

Sometimes I thought that it would be nice to have something like this because it was a waste of time to eat at the end of the day, but when I faced it in reality, I missed a piece of kimchi with hot soup

.

Seeing the arm chewing the pills like it was good made me feel pity.

Deciding to improve my diet somehow before I leave this world, I munched on a bland organic stick.

Meanwhile, the tables around me and my pal were empty.

Other cadets sitting far away glanced at me like monkeys in a zoo.

“Is that guy 100101? That he has qualities comparable to that of President Gernard?”

“It’s nonsense. How could such a corrupt-looking guy be. There must have been some mistake. I heard he was a G-class not too long ago?”

“52444. Really? Didn’t you spar with 100101?”

As I looked at the cadets whispering at me, Parang walked in with a face with graying hair and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid making eye contact with me. Hehe, you bastard. Don’t be shy. He can’t even look at you. “Arm, do you know what to do to recharge the soul energy

?

”

The armor of Jennard, who is said to be the strongest pilot of mankind, that I found in the hangar.

But it didn’t work because it lacked soul energy.

“Soul energy? What is it?”

Pal-yi, who was savoring the pills, looked at me with eyes that he had never heard of before.

“Huh? You don’t know everything?”

This was a bit embarrassing.

In this sci-fi background world where such a dystopian breakfast is served in armor, the word “soul” is a very inappropriate word.

‘Should I try riding it once?’

I didn’t know if there was a problem, so I left it in the hangar, but I’ll take advantage of the opportunity to board it again sometime.

Because I had a strong hunch that I would need Lazenca to clear the trials of this floor.

‘The fire and blacksmith’s dream of being a guardian is also at stake.’

-… … You, too, will have to acquire a divine spirit in order to change the fate of destruction.

He asked me to ask for a god.

Maybe Lazenca is the miracle I need to get from the ordeal on this floor?

‘Anyway, there are a lot of pretty useful guys.’

The eyes of the academy cadets looking at me weren’t just filled with fear like Blue.

There were quite a few of them glaring at me with friendly eyes, befitting the academy that only gathered the elites of the Human Union.

“Why do you look at Ilshin that way?”

“Because I think you’re quite useful too.”

Even the arm in front of me was unusual.

[82825]

A human male born through genetic culture. It has been used for 17 years.

Special note: He is a flame-type supernatural power with the possibility of transcendence.

That singularity of the possibility of transcendence. In my world, it means that I am an S-class Baek Yoo-hyeon who can handle flames.

“Pal, would you like to repeat this? Try saying, ‘I believe in one God.’” Since

ancient times, the more believers, the better.

I’ll start with the arm and gather prominent S-class followers

.

“Uh huh, try it with more faith and sincerity.”

That was when I was working hard on evangelism for a long time.

Chuck!

“Are you here! 100101!

A thick, log-like hand wrapped around my shoulder.

I looked at someone and saw a man-eating bear, or instructor Uncle, grinning broadly.

“Rejoice! The Almighty AI wants an interview with you!”

Then the cafeteria was stirred up like a storm.

“That Almighty AI wants an interview with an academy cadet with no records?

“Nonsense!”

“That’s great! After all, my partner!”

In terms of the atmosphere, it feels like the president has invited military academy cadets to the Blue House.

I was also a bit perplexed.

I was thinking of meeting the Almighty AI, but so soon?

“Your qualities are highly valued even by the upper echelons! Even if you get promoted, don’t forget me who discovered your talent. Hahaha!”

Looking at his memory, it seems Samsin was impatient because he couldn’t cut me. It’s such an amazing change of posture.

“Where can I go?”

I got up from my seat.

I’d rather see an almighty AI or something than eat this tasteless breakfast. You might get a clue to activate Lazenca.

“Okay follow me… … .”

콰르르 콰콰쾅!

그때였다.

갑자기 기지가 지진이라도 난 듯 사납게 요동쳤다.

동시에 조명의 색이 시뻘겋게 변하며 귀를 찌를 듯 날카로운 사이렌 소리가 울려 퍼졌다.

위이잉! 위이잉!

[경고! 경고! 다수의 에일리언 함대 감지! 모두 전투에 대비하라! 민간인들과 생도들은 황급히 대피소로 피하라!]

식당에 있던 생도들과 교관의 얼굴이 창백하게 변했다.

띠링!

-‘눈먼 신의 눈’이 진실을 보려 합니다.

동시에 내 눈의 권능이 발동하며 이 갑작스러운 이변의 주인공들이 비치기 시작했다.

마치 알처럼 우주에 부유하고 있는 우리가 있는 인류연합의 거대한 우주 함선을 향해.

슈욱! 슈우욱!

암세포같이 생긴 꿈틀거리는 거대한 살덩어리들이 공간을 넘으며 하나둘씩 모습을 드러내고 있었다.

나는 경악했다.

“뭐 뭐야! 이건?”

하지만 지금 내가 놀란 것은 에일리언들의 갑작스러운 침략 때문이 아니었다.

-기신(機神) 탄생 ‘STAGE 1 : 에일리언 군단의 기습’이 시작되었습니다.

마치 게임을 연상케 하는 정체불명의 불길한 메시지가 내 눈에 비치고 있었다.

궁극의 기신 탄생

쿵쾅!

쿵쾅!

마치 심장이 약동하듯 거세게 꿈틀거리던 에일리언 함선의 입구가 쩍 갈라졌다.

-끼아아아악!

갈라진 틈으로 시뻘건 폭포처럼 에일리언 괴수들이 쏟아져 나왔다.

대낫 같은 양팔을 휘두르는 곤충을 닮은 스캐빈저부터 코끼리보다 10배는 더 거대한 몸뚱이로 살아 움직이는 모든 것을 닥치는 대로 짓뭉개는 울트라 엘리펀트.

악몽에서나 나올 것 같은 형상의 괴수들이 인간의 피와 살을 탐하며 인류연합의 함선을 향해 돌진했다.

-단 한 마리도 접근시키지 마라!

-라저!

슈욱! 슈우욱!

침입자에 맞서 인류연합의 함대에서도 광선총과 검으로 무장한 기갑들이 백색 해일처럼 쏟아져 나왔다.

파괴하려는 자와 지키려는 자.

적과 백의 군단이 서로의 목적을 위해 맹렬히 격돌했다.

번쩍!

콰르르 콰쾅!

괴수들이 토하는 에너지 포 공격에 인류연합의 기지가 요동쳤다.

“히이이익!”

“Everyone don’t panic! Believe in the strength of the Human Union and the seniors!”

Instructor Uncle shouted to the frightened students.

“What are you doing, Ilshin!

The arm pulled me by the arm as I was standing there blankly.

But I didn’t move.

In my eyes, the scene of the terrible battlefield that was taking place was reflected.

bang! bang! Bang! Bang!

Innumerable flashes of colorful fireworks flickered in space like fireworks that lit up the night sky at a festival.

By sacrificing the lives of the pilots of the Human Alliance riding on armor.

It was a surprise attack, but it started in the Middle Ages.

However, there was an exceptional existence that was overturning the situation to the point of absurdity.
