Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 191

Episode 191:

The magical energy released by ‘No Name’ was too much for an individual to handle, so Taehyun had to pour in all his magical energy.

Red eyes.

Two pairs of red eyes met.

And then the vision reversed.

* * *

It was a pure white, unidentified space.

‘Is it an imaginary world?’

Taehyun has already been in and out of quite a few worlds of imagination.

Just as I was struggling to stay calm, a light flashed.

god. It was a no name.

[welcome. You are the second person to set foot here.]

‘Second?’

No voice comes out.

But just thinking was enough.

[Image world. Personal space. What’s so important?]

‘….’

[What’s important is that you met me.]

As soon as those words ended, an explosion occurred somewhere in space.

A series of explosions occurred and a new space began to be created.

‘….’

Big bang.

It was definitely a well-known phenomenon.

It was an imaginary world on a scale I had never seen before.

“you. Is he really God?”

[Same question. The image of God that humans think of. There are a lot of flaws in that.]

“….”

[If you still want to call it that. I don’t hesitate to be called God.]

“I didn’t know God was the talkative type.”

[That also means that each individual has different thoughts.]

Although I cannot confirm the face.

Taehyun was convinced that God was smiling.

“Then let’s say it’s God. What are you doing here? A god who pushes America. “This is an act that will make believers sad when they find out.”

The space shook at the sarcasm.

If God had a human body, he would be shaking.

Taehyun’s thoughts were not wrong.

God was very happy with this meeting.

[They were the ones who discovered me first. There was no other intention. It’s also an appropriate place to wait for the key.]

‘Key?’

I’ve heard of it.

Just a little while ago.

Because Orgal also said so.

[It’s an organ. You’re lucky to have met him and to be alive. The king’s choice almost went in vain.]

Shin read Taehyeon’s inner thoughts.

“What is the key?”

This was done with the intention of turning away from the United States.

I had no intention of losing sight of the clues about ‘King’ and ‘Return’ that I had managed to catch.

[key. That’s just a simple expression. The war in the Abyss is repeating itself. It could be a symbolic thing to end it.]

“The War of the Abyss…?”

It was my first time hearing it.

human war. Or that it is not a war between humans and monsters, but a war of the Abyss.

Who goes to war against whom?

All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.

The first thing that came to mind was the Archduke.

The actual kings who rule the Abyss.

With the army they have, they will be able to fight a war.

It seemed like God was shaking his head at Taehyun’s thoughts.

[They are always fighting, too. However, it is not enough to risk the fate of the Abyss.]

“Then why do you say I am the key? “The power of predation… is probably worse than that of the Archduke.”

This was something I had already experienced through Rosaria and Orgal.

Another Taehyun.

I don’t know if it’s a doppelganger.

‘The current predation cannot reach them.’

[Now the right question has come out. But there isn’t much time.]

“It sounds like it’s going to disappear soon.”

[It’s just as it says. It was very appropriate timing for him to throw his winning move.]

It was a series of incomprehensible words.

The moment Taehyun was about to ask again.

An explosion occurred in Noname’s body.

The big bang that shook space was replaced by magical power.

[It is the moment to face the truth. Get ready.]

God’s personal space.

The macrocosm began to collapse.

It was a magical power that Taehyun had never experienced before.

‘If you receive this much magical power, your body… your brain won’t be able to withstand it.’

Kwarung. Qarring. Crumbling.

I feel like I’m going deaf from the thunderous sound.

Taehyun unleashed his magic power against Shin, who seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Druddudduddduk.

My body trembled.

Countless warning messages came to mind, but I had no time to pay attention to them.

Finally.

When Taehyun’s magic reached a realm that had never been reached before.

[Check the truth of the world.

]

There was light in the red eyes.

* * *

I opened my eyes.

No, I thought it was up.

I saw something in my vision where I thought I was blind.

I felt a sense of floating, as if I was out of the body, like watching a movie.

It was a situation I had experienced before through Rosaria, and I could no longer hear God’s voice.

‘What on earth…’

was the moment Taehyun thought that.

A creature appeared before my eyes.

The boy I saw for the first time was crying.

A world where children cry.

A city dense with numerous buildings and people.

A strange yet friendly place.

A sign with scrawled letters that were not much different from today’s New Korean caught my eye.

‘That’s… Seoul, right?’

Taehyun blinked his eyes once.

This time I saw a boy wearing a school uniform.

It didn’t take much time to realize that the boy was the same kid from before.

The boring boy’s daily life went by.

‘Why on earth are they showing me this?’

It was a time to question an incomprehensible situation.

One night.

The boy entered the alley.

There, a woman was ‘eating’ a man.

It wasn’t like rape, it was literally a woman eating a man.

Cannibal.

Magical energy bloomed from the body of a boy wearing a school uniform.

It was the same dark red magic power as Taehyun’s.

‘No way…’

Apart from Taehyun’s surprise, the corners of the boy’s mouth turned up.

“If you did something wrong, you should be punished.”

A flame of magical power engulfed the woman.

‘king…!!’

Taehyun shouted.

The voice did not reach the young-looking king.

* * *

The world where the king lived seemed to be the same Seoul as Taehyeon, but the atmosphere was quite different.

First there were humans.

They seemed unable to use their skills, and there was a group of people who cannibalized them.

Just like Taehyun’s skill ‘Predation’.

The cannibals had red eyes and ate people, so it wasn’t surprising that there was a group of people hunting them.

Those who hunt and those who are hunted.

Predator and prey.

The king was neither of them.

With the power of a predator, it saved humans and was sometimes chased by humans.

‘You’re young.’

So much so that it is difficult to think of him as the king he remembers.

I was suffering and having a hard time.

Just like a boy his age.

Taehyun blinked his eyes again.

The king had grown from a boy to a young man.

Unsettled activity continued, and the world’s powerful men pursued the king.

The moment he was cornered, the king’s power ran wild.

‘….’

It was a sight that Taehyun had also experienced before.

It was different from a simple runaway.

Doppelganger.

Another being within the king’s body took over his body.

The flame changed into blue flame and then into white flame.

Those who were aiming for the king lost their lives in an instant.

Taehyun burst into laughter without realizing it.

The king also went through a similar experience as himself.

Even Taehyun’s condition seemed more unstable.

I blinked again.

How much time has passed?

The king was trying to bring about mediation between humans and cannibals and unite their forces.

The reason soon became apparent.

The Archduke began targeting Earth.

Gates appeared everywhere and monsters came out.

Humans and cannibals fought a battle, each asserting their own values.

human. Monster. cannibals.

The three races that could not mix died countless times.

The king and his companions were desperate, and the princes mockingly sent out stronger monsters.

Several deaths occurred repeatedly.

Just like Taehyun is now.

The king’s power was special, unlike others.

And a decisive battle with the Archduke.

The king’s flame did not reach them.

* * *

I blinked again.

The situation has changed drastically.

The red sky symbolizing the Abyss.

Under the red sky, countless monsters surrounded the king.

There were thousands of monsters called S-Class SS-Class.

What happened in that moment?

The king was using incredible strength.

There was nothing left where the flames swept away, and the Grand Duke, who ruled the Abyss at the time, confronted the King.

So much so that Archduke Lucifer’s wings were torn off, Diablo was destroyed, and Beelzebub was in a state of complete disrepair.

Countless such fierce battles took place.

In the end, it was the king who achieved victory.

The lives of the princes who did not follow him were taken away, and those who swore obedience were accepted as subordinates.

The Grand Duke of the Abyss has surrendered to humans.

It was an unprecedented event, and the surviving princes no longer called themselves kings.

The only king who rules the Abyss.

It was exactly what Taehyun knew.

I blinked.

A new war was beginning.

The Grand Duke and his troops gathered under the name of the King.

Countless monsters filled the Abyss.

Monsters of all races roared to boost their morale.

At that time, the sky of the Abyss split.

‘…!!’

What appeared was a being that resembled an angel.

Angels holding swords of light and scattering brilliance.

They poured down from the upper world to the lower world.

Monsters and angels became entangled.

Every time the angels swung their swords, an SS-class monster lost its life in vain.

The great dukes faced an archangel, and the king faced a huge dragon.

A demonic dragon whose size is difficult to guess.

The king burned the flame against the demon dragon.

There were endless fights, but the results were the same.

Defeat.

The angels of the upper world were much stronger than the monsters of the lower world, and the archangels were stronger than the archdukes.

No matter how hard the king tried to fight against the demon dragon, he ended up being surrounded by angels.

Every time, a light appeared that covered the upper and lower worlds.

A burst of light was enough to make even the king and the demon dragon stop fighting.

Return. And reincarnation.

[It was originally my power.]

God’s voice rang in my head.

There seemed to be a mountain of things I wanted to ask.

However, God did not allow any more questions.

[It was an inevitable choice. Just like the king bet on you, I didn’t have many options at the time.]

My vision turned black.

[There were a lot of questionable aspects of his choice. I thought it might be resignation or giving up.]

God’s voice was forcefully injected.

[But now I have other thoughts.]

A ray of light sparkled in my dark vision.

[Pay the price for being chosen by him. There will be no more reincarnation.]

Brightness of all colors clung to Taehyun.

Although the red eye had lost its function, the system’s message was clearly heard.

Tiring.

[The status window is limited.]

[New functions are added to the status window.]

[The countdown to the tribal war has begun.]

A voice from the system that I have never questioned before.

That is the god that was ringing in my head just a moment ago.

It was the voice of No Name.
