My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 205

#205

Beoncheonhoeju (2)

A soft yet beautiful evening sunset unfolded before my eyes.

It was a spectacular scenery so captivating that anyone would be captivated, but Hans could not enjoy it leisurely.

Quad deuk!

It was only natural that the glow of the sunset was suffocating him at every moment.

‘This is so dizzying.’

He lightly moved the jawbone to make sure the newly regenerated part fit together well and twisted the neck joint this way and that.

‘If it weren’t for the “Heart of Immortality,” no matter how undead they were, they would have been extinct long ago.’

In an attack using divine power, the entire upper part of the chin was blown off and the mask was shattered.

As a result, the clearly exposed skull combined with the black energy emanating from his body gave off an indescribably bloody atmosphere.

“Are you planning on hiding the other undead until the end? Do you think you still have room? Or is there some kind of limitation?”

[Keukeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I don’t think there’s any need to do that. Why don’t you try to bring out something more?]

Hans looked quite embarrassed to be bluffing, but Hans didn’t care and answered confidently like the first time.

Anyway, as long as the heart is safe, the body is immortal.

It didn’t matter if my whole body was torn apart or shattered, or if I was only slightly damaged.

“Puh, you’re confident.”

In response, Hoeju, who was floating in the air with her sparkling wings, let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded.

A pair of large, white wings and a ring of brilliant light shining from behind the head.

In addition, the burning eyes that seemed to pierce the darkness and the divine aura flowing through the whole body gave the appearance of a just judge who would destroy evil.

There was even a confrontation with Hans, a skeletal monster spreading evil energy all over his body right in front of me…

‘Hmm… no matter how much I think about it, I think this guy is the bad guy.’

In reality, it’s quite the opposite!

It was extremely unfair to him, but the current structure was a conflict between good and evil so clear that he couldn’t defend it even if he looked at it himself.

Still, on Earth, he is treated as a dark hero.

“I tried to finish it quickly, but it was such a hassle as I kept recovering. “Let’s try to pick up the pace a little more.”

When he was thinking that.

With the low voice of the Lord, the divine power blooms powerfully.

At the same time, the crumpled space began to surge in from all directions like a tsunami.

Rumbling—!

Hans calmly cleared the space and looked for a way out, just as he had done so far.

Now, it was difficult to respond to the spatial erosion as it was mixed with divine power, but it was not impossible as his level of magic was not low.

However, it was inevitable that the process would take quite a bit of time.

When he thought he had escaped to safety, hundreds of swords made with reddish divine power were already falling like rain from the sky.

‘I’m really out of my mind.’

In addition, space erosion resumed again without a break.

In a situation like this, it was inevitable that damage would continue to accumulate.

‘This is the first time I’ve messed up like this since I became the Immortal King.’

It didn’t really matter that the body was simply broken, but it was a big problem that repeated exposure to high concentrations of sacred power increased the burden on energy management.

If this situation continues, sooner or later there will be a limit to protecting the heart.

‘I think I’ve done enough for now. Should I let myself fall into the moment when I really think I can’t do it?’

It seemed like it was time to hang out with him in moderation and step away.

***

Rumbling—

A corner of the space where a continuous roaring noise reverberates.

“Hmm hmm! “This is really interesting!”

The doctor, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes, was nodding his head as he observed Hans intently with the “eyes of truth” in the safe space created by Hoeju.

“Kuhya~ But it’s a pity, a pity! I guess I’ll have to dissect it to see it in more detail! The problem is that it doesn’t seem that easy to capture!”

However, the “Eye of Truth,” which can delve into all technologies and mystical structures, also had limitations.

In the first place, he developed this ability only in a direction specialized for research, so he could not obtain satisfactory analysis results from an opponent enveloped in the rough flow of energy at such a distance.

In other words, he was saying that in order to conduct proper research as he wanted, he needed the cooperation of the other party.

Whether it is voluntary or somewhat coercive.

“As expected, I need your help, Ruler!”

“…Do you mean me?”

At such a sudden conclusion, Yulryeongja, who had been quietly glaring at Hahoetal from the side, looked back at him with a shocked expression.

“As you can see, that Smile Mask will continue to respawn if its heart core is not destroyed. But if you really break the heart, the precious sample will disappear, right? That’s a global loss! This is unacceptable! “We must capture him alive!”

“But under those conditions, there’s no way, right?”

“Why not? “There are so many qualified people here!”

The doctor looked at him with happy eyes and smiled.

A cold sweat ran down the ruler’s spine.

Of course, mental suppression and other prohibitions were his specialty, but hadn’t he already failed once against Hahoetal?

Remembering that fact, he protested as calmly as possible without panicking.

Be clear and concise so that even this crazy person can understand it right away.

“I think you know, but the reason I’m in this situation now is because I fought with Hahoetal in the spirit world and lost. The damage to my spiritual body from that time has not yet recovered, so my physical condition is at its worst. “Wouldn’t the doctor who examined my body know that best?”

As he continued speaking, he looked down at his body with a frown.

He had a mechanical prosthetic eye installed in his blind eye, his strong legs had become so thin that he was confined to a wheelchair, and his internal organs were damaged in various places, so he was still vomiting blood from time to time.

But isn’t it the same as telling me to die to invade Hahoetal’s mind again in this physical condition?

“hmm! I understand! Don’t understand! But that’s it, Ruler. That’s why you need to step up even more!”

However, the calm explanation did not seem to have made much of an impact on the madman.

However, he didn’t just blurt out the words without thinking…

“Shouldn’t I take revenge?”

A man with eyes shining with desire whispered sweet words with a devil-like smile.

“I will help you. I have a rough idea of what to do with what I know now, right? In fact, I even prepared some in advance! “Woohyahahah!”

And after hearing his words, the ruler took a closer look at the Hahoe mask again and—.

I accepted the item the doctor handed me and nodded resolutely.

***

In the midst of a fight.

“Ho-oh, is there something possible?”

Hans slightly tilted his head at Hoeju’s sudden self-talk.

When I looked at it, it seemed like it wasn’t something he said to himself.

“That would be fine too. “Just do whatever you want, Ruler.”

But the other person didn’t care about that reaction and just said what he had to say.

And only after a moment did Hans realize who he was talking to.

Suddenly—

just like when the middle-aged Westerner intervened earlier, a man in his thirties appeared out of thin air without warning.

I was in a wheelchair because my legs were uncomfortable.

As expected, Hoeju seemed to have done something to the space, and this time too, the fact that he failed to notice the other person’s appearance in advance was an added bonus.

‘…It’s frustrating. I feel like I’m blind because my normally sensitive senses are blocked. But you’re a ruler?’

It was definitely a name I had already heard while gathering information.

It was said that he was in a position to take responsibility for all of East Asia.

‘Is the author a ruler? What unusual eyes. Are you a returnee from a dimension with advanced technological civilization? …No, wait, this is a familiar figure…’

Just as Hans was raising his guard as he saw the new person who appeared.

His empty eye sockets met the eyes of the new person directly—.

Whoa!

Before he knew it, he was once again face to face with a being he had met once before in a space filled with darkness.

-It’s been a while, Hahoe Tal. It seems like you’ve been doing quite well so far. Every day since that day has been a pain.

A human figure glowing green, tattered with legs that had been roughly torn off, leaving only traces, and wounds all over the body.

‘Someone told me that I was that pervert back then.’

When he was attacking the hardliners of the clan, he was the one who was hiding in the head of the Beoncheonhoe subordinates and spying on them.

[Hehehe! Yeah, it’s been quite a while. How are you still alive? I thought he might have died.]

In some ways, he was a thankful guy.

Thanks to collecting the fragments of the spirit body that that guy left behind, Hans was able to obtain the “Way of Magic” and grow further.

‘I definitely thought he was at the executive level when I saw his abilities. Could it be that he was the head of the East Asia branch at that time?’

At that time, the impression of barely escaping from the ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’ was so strong that I couldn’t remember it right away, but when I thought about it again, it wasn’t normal even then.

Isn’t it true that it was quite dangerous until the fragments were used in reverse?

Also, even now, when I could easily infiltrate the mental world just by making eye contact, it was still something out of the ordinary.

Perhaps he had expended a great deal of energy to break through his mental barrier, but outside time had almost come to a standstill, and it seemed like he couldn’t keep it up for long.

[I didn’t know that he would run away like that and come out like this again, but

maybe what happened before wasn’t enough?] I was just feeling bad about leaving, but I never thought the lunch box would come back to me like this.

At the opportunity to grow further and deal with the high-ranking officials of the Buncheonhoe, Hans gathered his mental power, inflated his spiritual body, and slowly approached the guy.

-At that time, I thought I had a devil sealed inside me. But ‘death of the world’… I guess it’s not much different. He even became stronger than before.

But at that time, the ruler quietly looked up at Hans, who seemed to have formed an abyss, and quietly expressed admiration.

There was no way he knew it was a dangerous situation, but there was no sense of crisis in his attitude.

[her! It looks like he believes in something.]

Hans also stopped approaching him and slowly brought out the death inside him.

Now that I’m much stronger than before, I don’t think there’s any need to do this, but isn’t it better to be sure just in case?

Of course, I didn’t forget to prepare for canceling the summons just in case something happened.

-We’ve already reached our limit just by saying a few words. No matter how difficult it is to force intervention, I think this is a bit too much. Hahoetal is truly quite a monster.

But what’s the point of just watching them talk like that?

Hans immediately used his sharply forged mental power to attack its spirit body with death.

-Even if I fight head on, I won’t be able to defeat you.

However, the opponent was not so gentle.

Even though he was not in perfect condition and even though the attack involved death, it was too much to destroy his well-established mental defense in just a few hits…

-The Doctor is definitely amazing. I never would have thought that they would have made something like this that could be used in the spirit world.

The guy looked at the bead he had taken out of his body and muttered softly as if admiring it.

-Let’s see how long you can last?

Immediately afterwards, a brilliant green light spread out in all directions from the bead held in the hand of the ruler.

Paaaa—

without leaving out the very bottom of ‘Hans’ mental world.

Have you ever compared the fight in the mental world to war?

Just like back then, the situation that happened afterwards could be summarized simply.

The enemy broke down the door of the rebel camp through internal terrorism.

They began providing all kinds of military supplies to those who had escaped from the inside.

***

“…Ugh, what kind of modification is this again?”

As I was watching Hans’ situation, I hurriedly set up the “Mind Hub” and frowned.

Then, after lightly massaging his temples due to a slight headache, he sighed lightly and looked at the situation again.

Although I was momentarily taken aback by the rapidly increasing amount of information, as if it were a bomb attack, my unique skills and mental abilities, which I had poured a huge amount of karma into, were not weak enough to collapse to this extent.

‘of course. ‘How much karma has been poured out so far!’

But even if it wasn’t a big problem right away, it was definitely impossible to face the head of the Buncheonhoe in this condition.

Maybe that’s what they were aiming for.

“Tsk, shall we stop here? “I thought I could get something more.”

Without hesitation, I canceled Hans’ summons and applied pressure to his temples again.

First of all, Hans’ mental world was avoided from completely collapsing, but since a big storm had passed, he needed to stabilize for the time being.

It would be necessary to send him to Outerica for a while and purify himself in the immortal city.

‘Still, the guy who did this won’t be able to make it all right. I won’t be able to do the same thing again next time.’

A ruler who invaded Hans’ mental world and carried out a trick.

It seems like he attempted a terrorist attack and tried to escape during the moment of confusion… but

since the terrorist attack was only half successful, of course he couldn’t escape completely.

Despite his persistence, he succeeded in escaping, but this time he had to put down his entire right arm that was holding the marble.

It probably wasn’t a very pleasant experience for him either.

‘That bead certainly looked unusual. Shall we go to Outerica and check it out?’

For a moment, I thought about the Buncheonhoe bastards who remained in Japan, but dealing with them was bound to be a long-term affair anyway.

Since you still have a lot of time, you can take measures step by step based on the information you have gathered this time.

In this way, Hans departed for the immortality of another world, taking with him not only a part of the spiritual body of the spirit that was to be his nourishment, but also the mysterious gift he left behind.

In fact, the absurd reaction of the executives of the Buncheonhoe was not even considered.
