Episode 186.
A monster of great strength and chaos.
Something supernatural that cannot be explained by phenomena.
This indefinable power is the first of the Twelve Labors of Hercules.
It started with the hunt for the Nemean lion.
Typhon (Τυφών), the strongest and worst monster in Greco-Roman mythology.
The Nemean Lion was the eldest of Typhon’s children.
The tough leather was impenetrable to anything.
Its sharp fangs and claws could pierce through anything.
So, some people used to have this question.
If the skin and claws of the Nemean Lion clashed, who would win?
Leather that blocks anything.
Claws that can pierce through anything.
It could be called a Western version of a contradiction.
And as is often the case with contradictions, it was nothing more than a play on words that had no conclusion.
No one knew the answer.
That is, until Hercules himself tried the experiment.
Hercules defeats the Nemean Lion after a thirty-day battle.
Then he pulled out the claws of the Nemean lion and skinned it.
That was the moment when it was proven that the winner of the contradiction was the claw.
Although the Nemean Lion was eventually defeated, the gods of Olympus paid tribute to the Nemean Lion’s strength.
So, they made it into a constellation and honored the Nemean Lion.
Leo, one of the 12 zodiac signs.
Today, if you look up at the night sky in mid-November, you can see the Nemean Lion.
The Nemean lion, to which even the gods paid homage.
If it had been anyone else, this would have been an epic feat in itself.
But for Hercules, it was only a small first step.
And the decisive reason why he was able to defeat the Nemean Lion.
Later, on Godtube, Hercules said:
[If I hadn’t acquired the power of the monster back then, I wouldn’t have been able to win. And I would have died in Gigantomachia. Maybe I died while performing the task?]
The first task of the 12 tasks and the power learned from the first step.
The decisive reason why Hercules was able to tear apart the apocalypse called Gigantomachia.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!!
Even space cannot support it and it explodes.
Siwoo closed his eyes quietly and stared at himself.
Two-thousand!
The sound of a pounding heart is clearly perceptible.
My whole body felt like it was shaking as my heart beat and blood circulated throughout my body.
Despite the roar of the explosion, my mind was calm.
As if I had entered a silent space where not a single noise could be heard.
Through this, everything in the world becomes clearly perceived.
Siwoo slowly opened his closed eyes.
Strange phenomena that could not be recognized by those around them were occurring repeatedly.
Beneath it, the shattered Lilith was writhing.
Han Chae-rin was lying on the floor, seemingly unconscious.
The silver color that had been encroaching on his black hair was gradually fading.
That moment.
Saaaa …
Dark magic was pulled out of Han Chae-rin’s body.
The dark magic that was drawn out seeped into the shattered Lilith and regenerated her damaged body.
An extraterrestrial monster.
Lilith did not die even after being struck by the monstrous god of chaos.
To be more precise, the monster god alone could not kill Lilith.
Shape and formula.
Two forms that make up the divine martial arts of Hercules.
Among them, the first type, the monster with great strength and chaos, was not a type of strike.
More precisely, it was not the guillotine choke that killed the Nemean Lion.
It simply increased one’s physical abilities to the point where one could kill the Nemean Lion.
Thus, Siwoo’s physical abilities have now been enhanced.
The level of monstrous strength that Siwoo was currently ‘imitating’ was ten times greater.
Siwoo currently possesses physical abilities that have been amplified tenfold.
As a result, all the power that Siwoo could unleash was also increased tenfold.
The level of the monstrous strength of the god of chaos was only an ‘imitation’, but it was 10 times higher.
As you become more skilled and trained, you can increase your physical abilities even further.
Why Hercules was able to slay the Nemean lion.
The reason why we were able to tear apart the Gigantomachia of the End.
The monster god of great strength could be said to be the first step toward creating the being called Hercules.
A truly tremendous ability.
But the price was also enormous.
Gulp.
Red blood flowed down the corner of Siwoo’s mouth.
Then, with a bang, a large amount of blood poured out onto the floor.
“haha…!”
His breathing became ragged and he was panting as if he would pass out at any moment.
The hand wiping the corner of my mouth began to tremble.
Because the body cannot withstand the recoil.
The Monster Power of the God of Chaos increases the body’s abilities, but the recoil is also increased in return.
The current recoil is ten times the usual.
My body, which was completely battered, could not withstand this recoil.
Siwoo should have been unable to withstand the backlash long ago.
I was just holding on.
It was just enduring a 10-fold recoil from the physical abilities that were amplified 10-fold.
But this too is coming soon.
When the effect of the Super Strength God disappears, you will have to endure the 10-fold recoil.
At that time… .
No, let’s not think about it.
Siwoo shook his head forcefully and shook it off.
Cut off distracting thoughts and ideas.
There is only one chance.
【You… how did you get here…!】
I have to risk everything at once.
* * *
Lilith bit her lip.
And when he looked at Siwoo in front of him, he could see the red blood spreading around his mouth.
What this means is one thing.
It must be something you can’t handle.
I can’t handle that monstrous power.
Well, that makes no sense.
How can humans handle a power that even God cannot handle?
That means,
Just hang in there.
Just hold on and hold on until that ridiculous human destroys himself.
Then you can survive.
I was able to win this fight.
Lilith was able to harbor one hope.
It was truly ironic.
Lilith is the daughter of the antagonist and a demon from Hell.
Is it even possible for Lilith to feel hopeful?
I had a moment of doubt, but it was literally just a moment.
I don’t care about that kind of irony.
Kwarrrrrrrr…!
In the face of that monstrous power, what wouldn’t you do if you could just survive?
【die!!】
Lilith stretched out her hand forward.
Flesh fell off the body, which had not yet fully regenerated.
But this doesn’t matter either.
The dark magic condensed into the outstretched hand, distorting the surrounding scenery.
Siwoo’s body rushes through the distorted scenery.
Kwaaaaang─!
The magical power condensed into a powerful force disperses and disappears.
also.
Truly, it is an unbelievable power.
【Kkiyaaaaaaaaaaah!!】
Lilith let out a wicked howl.
The emotions that had been seething beneath the surface exploded, unleashing a burst of madness.
Jejejeong─!
The space was momentarily distorted by the magic power of the madness that was emitted.
The magical power held in the fingertips is seething.
Then, as Lilith waved both her hands, Kwajajajajak!
Countless slashes of darkness tore the twisted space apart.
And again.
Kwaaaaang─!
The dark slash was instantly extinguished by a huge explosion of power.
As expected, the process didn’t require much.
Just one kick.
Lilith’s magic disperses and disappears.
but.
“…Coolook!”
After that, a groan of excruciating pain is heard.
Red blood spurts through the torn space.
Lilith smiled broadly.
also.
Humans are just humans.
A helpless, insignificant creature before God.
The fear that had consumed my instincts slowly fades away.
Lost playfulness rises through the blurred fear.
【It’s the end!】
Kwajajajajak!
Space was torn apart, and waves of darkness surged forth.
Pitch-black darkness bursts out in all directions.
A world of magical power that does not allow even a single gap.
【You insignificant piece of trash, human─.】
Exactly.
That’s when I got to that point.
Lilith’s body froze.
A sense of discomfort permeates the entire space.
All the senses in my body are gone, and I feel a sense of emptiness.
what?
Lilith’s eyes look straight ahead.
and.
Pfft!
Lilith’s body burst apart.
A snap, a broken mind.
The dark magic that was released regenerated Lilith’s body once again.
Only then did Lilith, who had regained consciousness, become aware of the phenomenon before her eyes.
The white magic that decorates the sky.
It exhibits a blue-shift phenomenon and flashes blue.
And then the sky distorted and crackled!
The space in the sky was torn apart and shattered.
And so, in the broken space.
An unknown world unfolded within it.
The dimension of the unknown abyss.
Woof woof woof… .
The providence of space and time is distorted.
Time stood still, without any identity.
Destruction and annihilation.
It was far from that.
It was as if I was controlling the laws of nature.
Lilith’s spirit glimpsed inside it… .
Mind… mind… this…?
Phew!
Lilith tore off her own neck and head.
I couldn’t… bear it.
A feeling of endless loss.
Chimi couldn’t keep her sanity in the emptiness.
Before that great dimension of nature, Lilith was nothing more than a tiny thing.
【I, I am…! I am Lilith! The daughter of the Almighty Enemy, and the mother of all the world’s evil!!】
Lilith screamed as if throwing a tantrum.
But fear, dread, despair.
The negative emotions that make up the world return to the place where they were born.
And then it devours its mother.
【no!!!!】
Lilith resisted the abyss dimension that was coming down, drawing out dark magic.
however.
Can’t escape.
It can’t be resisted.
Nothing has any meaning before this power.
only one.
The annihilation of existence.
【No… No…! This can’t be…! This can’t be─.】
That was the only salvation granted to Lilith.
Hercules’ divine fighting skills.
Second Form – Fusion.
Tai Chi Wu Myeol Kwon (Supreme Martial Art of Extermination).
* * *
Kwaaaa …
“Team Leader…! This is the limit!”
Lee Min-jung’s teammate, Kim Eun-ho, screamed in anger.
Next to Kim Eun-ho are Yoo Ah-rin, Jung Yu-ju, Do Hyeon-woo, and Jung Soo-ah.
All members of Team 4 were fighting against the monsters.
“Everyone, evacuate this way─. Gyaaaaak!”
“Yuju!!”
But that too was reaching its limits.
There were too many monsters pouring down from the sky.
Lee Min-jung had no choice but to give the order.
“All 4 teams! Get out of the way with your people!”
Only then did the team members form a line and retreat at Lee Min-jung’s order.
and.
“manager…?”
Only Lee Min-jung did not move from her spot.
The sword, Seol-a (雪牙), created by Master Aurelian.
Lee Min-jung simply spoke while swinging her snow fang to block the monsters that were rushing at her.
“Someone has to stay.”
It was not possible for everyone to evacuate safely.
Someone had to stay here.
Someone had to stay here and hold off the monsters so the people could evacuate.
“Ha, but…!”
“hurry!”
Lee Min-jung shouted, but her team members did not move easily.
If he had left behind only Lee Min-jung, it was obvious what the outcome would have been.
The death of Lee Min-jung.
I know that Lee Min-jung’s skills are outstanding.
Kieeeeeek─!!
Wow!
But the demons pouring down from the sky were endless.
“haha…!”
There was an end to Lee Min-jung’s physical strength.
But Lee Min-jung did not hesitate.
“Evacuate the people quickly!”
A wave of monsters is coming.
If things continue like this, we will all die.
Lee Min-jung ran forward.
And at that very moment.
“I will stop this.”
A voice like a single ray of wind was heard.
At the same time, slap slap slap─!
Invisible tragedies swept across the landscape ahead.
It was like a giant tidal wave.
The countless waves of monsters that had been swept away by the overwhelming tsunami were gone.
Truly overwhelming inaction.
“This, this is….”
“What the heck…?”
A look of confusion appeared on the faces of Lee Min-jung and the other team members.
At that moment, I was thinking, “Who on earth is that…?”
A being walked calmly into view.
His presence, with his back turned, made it impossible to see his face.
“you are….”
But Lee Min-jung’s voice is trembling.
He didn’t seem to give any answer.
He just stood there with his sword hanging down.
“I’ll block this place, so evacuate the people.”
His gaze was always directed straight ahead.
As I take calm steps forward.
Key, key!
The monsters began to retreat, one by one.
The monsters that didn’t feel fear were trembling in fear.
The monsters were gripped with fear, as if recalling a nightmare from long ago.
At that moment, it stopped.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Soon his gaze slowly turned towards the sky.
His team members, including Lee Min-jung, reacted to his actions.
And the people who were evacuating.
Everyone followed him and turned their gaze to the sky.
and.
“Huh, huh?”
“Uh, that thing just now…?”
People could see.
Numerous dungeon gates cover the skies over Seoul.
Between the pitch-black sky and dark clouds.
“The gate… the gate… … .”
“It’s disappearing…?”
The brilliant sunlight was shining brightly.
