Chapter 411
Chapter 411
The experience of fighting against the owner of the Abyss is the third time, counting even the scenario of human extinction.
At that time, the giant was overwhelmingly strong, but Sung JiHan was in a much more advanced state compared to that time.
However.
[I won't drag this out for long.]
The opponent was not as passive as before.
Sss...
As the aura of emptiness thickened, the space began to distort.
That distortion that completely annihilated humanity in the scenario of human extinction.
It was absorbing Sung JiHan more intricately than before.
"They're trying to absorb me."
Whether it was because of the Eastern Sword's influence, if in the past it was a force that would completely destroy Sung JiHan's body.
This time, it was trying to absorb him within the distortion and make him its own.
Regarding this attack, Sung JiHan already had a countermeasure.
Hunwon Divine Art (混元神功)
Annihilation Divine Technique (滅神訣)
Ten Thousand Ghosts Sealing Divine Technique (萬鬼封神)
With the sword as the center, the pattern of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sealing Divine Technique began to spread.
It was like a giant shield blocking in front of Sung JiHan, blocking all the attacks that were fiercely coming at him.
[Annoying.]
Flash!
Red light flickered from the thousands of eyes embedded in the giant's body.
Chi-ii-ik...!
The pattern of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sealing Divine Technique was cut horizontally and vertically, and the center was pierced with a single point.
"This is... the Three Ultimate Techniques. They were all used at the same time."
The Horizontal Soaring Army (橫疏天軍) and the Mountain Crushing Pressure (太山壓頂), even the Immortal's Wisdom (仙人智).
The Taoist's Soul of the Taiji was simultaneously unleashed using the emptiness.
[I also practiced the Nameless Divine Art.]
"The Nameless Divine Art. It's been a while since I heard that name. None of you, among you, have revealed your names, have you?"
[You figured it out, didn't you?]
When Sung JiHan spoke, the offensive of the maṅghon momentarily stopped.
Ssueeuu...
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sealing Divine Technique quickly regenerated.
"I know."
[What is it? The real name of the Nameless Divine Art. It was one of the things I was curious about before I died every time.]
"It's not difficult to tell you the name, but I hope you can satisfy my curiosity as well."
[What do you want to know?]
"The way to return my sister to her original state. If I win and you disappear, will it automatically be undone?"
It's not right to leave my sister in that statue-like state forever.
Since it was the owner of the Abyss who didn't release her, Sung JiHan thought that there must be a way to undo that state.
And.
[....]
The maṅghon of the Taiji momentarily hesitated at Sung JiHan's words.
[To return my sister to her original state, you need a key. That's what I mean.]
Pung!
One of the eyes embedded in the giant's chest burst, and a purple key took its place.
Is that the key that unlocks the chains that were binding the statue's body?
[If you defeat me, you can obtain it.]
"Is that so? Then let's settle this right away."
[If that happens, my sister will be demoted from the Holy Seat to a Diamond Supporter. Until she settles in another world, she needs the power she possesses as a Witch of Emptiness.]
"This world is already beyond saving, right? Then I'll find a human body for my sister."
[That judgment is the decisive difference between you and me.]
The maṅghon and Sung JiHan believed that if they joined forces, they could escape to this world.
Sung JiHan now firmly believed that this was impossible.
They didn't have any emotional hostility towards each other, but their positions were clearly different.
"So, what's your martial arts name?"
If he reveals his name as a nameless martial artist, his martial arts will also become stronger.
Sung JiHan briefly considered withholding information and not teaching him, but...
"Fine."
I didn't want to lie about something like this when I was already exposing myself, even with the key floating in the air.
"It's Honwon Martial Arts."
"Honwon... Was that the name?"
As if the doubt was cleared, Mang Hon accelerated his attack.
Chi-eeek!
The gold on the Man Gwi Bong Shin, which served as a shield, gradually increased.
Sung JiHan's body also slowly entered the distortion of space.
"If I don't use all means, I'll eventually be absorbed..."
No matter how much Sung JiHan had grown, there was a significant difference in power between him and Mang Hon.
If Mang Hon's goal wasn't to devour him, but to annihilate him.
He would have suffered more damage from a more intense attack than now.
"When he tries to absorb me, I have to strike back."
For that, I have to give it my all.
Sung JiHan turned on the battle tube.
And then...
"Oh, is this the start of the Challenger League game?"
"Isn't this the first time?"
"Huh? But... this doesn't seem like an in-game."
The viewers who came in excitedly, thinking that Sung JiHan, who had reached the Challenger League, was finally starting a game.
"Hey, haven't we seen that giant somewhere before?"
"T-That's the giant from the scenario of humanity's destruction!"
"It seems a bit smaller than back then..."
"But it looks exactly the same?? -_-"
"The space is also distorted, just like back then."
As Sung JiHan's opponent revealed his true form, the atmosphere became serious all at once.
The owner of the Pyongyang Abyss, who caused the end of the world even though humanity won the Bronze League relegation match.
He was showing a huge presence on the screen.
And...
"Oh... I've seen this before."
"Are we already facing that monster?"
"It's not like it's just standing there like back then... This, the victory or defeat will be decided quickly."
"Oh, no... I was going to bet on the human race, but if it's going to be destroyed like this, what should I do?"
When the extraterrestrial viewers saw that the broadcast was on, they flooded in.
"The Star Buff is activated."
A powerful buff that increases all abilities by 100% was activated.
Then, the Man Gwi Bong Shin, which was cut off a moment ago, quickly recovered.
The distortion of space could no longer expand and was giving way to Sung JiHan's territory.
And...
Flash!
"Did you, by any chance, turn on the battle tube...?"
"Ah, I need to receive some ability buffs."
"...I'm disappointed."
Mang Hon, who had never been hostile even though he fought until now, showed his killing intent for the first time to everyone.
"If we livestream our battle through the battle tube, it may disrupt our future plans."
Of course, Mang Hon's future plans were obvious.
After absorbing Sung JiHan, he would escape with the power and take Yun Se-ah and Sung Ji-ah with him.
But if this battle is livestreamed through the battle tube, it could cause a disruption in those plans.
However, that's just their situation.
"So you're giving up on the buff?"
Sung JiHan had no intention of giving up the 100% stat amplification effect.
From the beginning.
"Escape is impossible now."
Suspected as the administrator of the Red Faction.
Whether the Void side also noticed this, in a situation where they are imposing sanctions to prevent escape.
Even if Sung JiHan obediently merged with Manghon and tried to escape to this world, it was difficult to fend off their pursuit.
"If there was a possibility of escape, we might have joined forces... but since that failed, I have to take control of the situation. Here, I have to mobilize all my power to subdue Manghon."
To do that, the essential star buff was necessary, so the Battle Tube had to be turned on.
But.
[...Buff. Huh, in the end, it's just a feeling.]
Upon hearing Sung JiHan's words, Manghon was greatly disappointed in him.
"Did you sacrifice yourself just to survive?"
Furthermore, he emitted a strong killing intent.
"Before twisting things, that broadcast. Make sure it doesn't air anymore."
Sss...
The distortion of space accelerated even more.
The interior of the Abyss space began to fold like crumpled paper.
"For now, die. I'll absorb you later."
Chiiing...!
Manghon began to pressurize in earnest.
Sung JiHan faced him and silently put on a smile.
Then, the Void began to amplify.
"Absorption is not something only you can do."
Thinking of the flame, he first approached the Taegeuk Manghon.
* * *
The Battle Tube has been on for an hour.
-Wow... Is this the actual situation?
-It seems like the first time I've seen Sung JiHan's body explode like that...
-Even the regeneration ability of the giant is no joke.
The clash between the red-eyed giant and Sung JiHan, even though the broadcast had only been on for an hour, captured the attention of all humanity.
Of course, Sung JiHan's broadcast was already highly anticipated.
But now, his battle was attracting even more viewers than usual.
And for good reason.
-If Sung JiHan loses here, is humanity doomed? ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-Hey, don't tell me... -_-;;
-It might be a problem that we can't brush off lightly. This might be our last Battle Tube broadcast...
Because Sung JiHan's opponent was the owner of the Abyss, notorious for the scenario of humanity's destruction.
Given the current situation, people couldn't help but worry.
As a red light flashed in the giant's eye.
Chiiing...!
A powerful laser shot out from there.
Sung JiHan's arm seemed to withstand it, but then it was cut off.
-Oh! S-Sung JiHan's arm flew off again!
-Well, it'll regenerate soon...
-Ah, damn, this giant is fighting desperately unlike last time...
A battle where they repeatedly tore each other apart and regenerated.
Due to the significant difference in body size, even if the giant exploded in several places, it didn't show as much as Sung JiHan did.
When a loud thud was heard!
"It exploded again."
Sung JiHan looked down at his right leg that had been blown off by the opponent's explosive attack.
A leg that disappeared without a trace.
One.
Sung JiHan, who had embraced eternity within him, quickly regenerated his disappeared body as the world tree inside him became activated.
Perhaps his eternal abilities had improved.
His regenerative power had become so tremendous that he would almost instantly return to his original state once he disappeared.
Taegeuk's Manghon seemed bored as he watched this.
"You... Your regenerative power is exceptional. Did you perhaps convert to an elf? Did you go over to Yggdrasil?"
"I did. I just gained their abilities, that's all."
"...I see."
"You too."
Boom! Boom!
As Sung JiHan's sword drew a streak, the eyes and limbs of the giant exploded simultaneously.
From the body of the giant that disappeared.
Sung JiHan's ethereal body emerged and enveloped the vanished area, soon restoring his body.
"The regenerative power is terrifying."
"Yes. Your attacks are useless."
As Sung JiHan looked at the unharmed giant, he recalled the previous encounter.
At that time, the system had mentioned that the weakness of the Abyss's owner was the head.
"I've aimed for that spot multiple times, but it was useless."
Unlike the passive owner of the Abyss in the mission.
The giant controlled by another Sung JiHan did not allow any attacks to the head.
They only caused minor bleeding to each other, unable to deliver a decisive blow for a whole hour.
-It's going to be tough.
-Even the Administrator couldn't defeat him, the owner of the Abyss?
-Yeah... I know about BattleNet, but I still don't understand.
-*&*$SPACEBET134413*&*$ is currently conducting private betting. Come in quickly and bet on who will win this battle~~~!!
-What... Is it at the level of a private betting company? Is the owner of this channel?
-I'll bet on Sung JiHan. He always wins.
-Where else would you bet? Of course, it's on the giant.
-Can't you tell just by looking?
The aliens had already judged that the balance of the battle had tilted towards Taegeuk's Manghon.
But Taegeuk's Manghon himself...
Sung JiHan forcefully suppressed the momentum he had built up.
"At this rate, it won't end. Until I bring that out."
"If it's that."
"Taegeukma Sword."
The eyes of the giant spun in unison, drawing the Taegeuk.
"If I bring this out, everything will collapse... Even you, who I'm trying to absorb, won't leave a trace."
"That's right."
"Do you really want to see such an end? Once the Taegeukma Sword is activated, no matter who wins, we will ultimately be the losers."
From the opponent's perspective, if the Taegeukma Sword is brought out, the spoils will disappear.
In the end, it's a situation where they use their power but gain nothing.
As Sung JiHan silently looked at Manghon, he continued speaking.
"What is your plan?"
"Why, are you willing to cooperate?"
"Depending on the situation. Once the Taegeukma Sword is activated, everything will be destroyed. It's better for both of us to die than to have both of us lose..."
Rather than engaging in a battle where both would lose, they were willing to listen to Sung JiHan's plan.
"It's me. Definitely."
While thinking that, Sung JiHan tried to engage in a conversation instead of maintaining the current standoff.
"...No, wait."
Wiiiiing...!
The Taegeuk being drawn from the giant's eyes began to grow larger.
N-M
