Episode 236.
Hesitation, step back.
No, it’s a movement that can’t be called footsteps.
【“Uh, how about it···?”】
The eyes of the loathsome monster opened wide in horror.
The two lumpy eyes didn’t look like eyes at all.
But there was an unmistakable awe engraved in what looked like an eye.
Is that why?
【“How··· is···?”】
The monster just kept repeating the same thing.
To be precise, the residual self.
The remaining self of the crazy fox was thoroughly denying the phenomenon that was happening before her eyes.
The power of non-replication.
nonsense.
Even if it makes sense… it won’t work.
【“How are you···?”】
The monster repeated movements that seemed to be hesitating and backing up.
But that was only for a moment.
【“Kyaaaa …
The monster opened its hideous mouth and roared.
He shook off the rising fear and vented his anger.
I couldn’t figure out why Siwoo’s power wasn’t being replicated.
I couldn’t understand how such a phenomenon was possible.
But that’s just it.
Not all powers were replicated.
Only some of the powers are not replicated.
So, it doesn’t matter.
【“Kuhfehehehehehe!”】
A smile is created again.
Flash!
A burst of pure white light erupted and the monster rushed towards Siwoo.
The distance closes in an instant.
Siwoo was neither flustered nor shaken.
Just a flash of calm gaze!
All he could do was respond by detonating Super Speed (SS+).
Siwoo’s figure disappears without a moment to blink.
From that appearance of Siwoo, it was clear that he was a monster.
The speed we have is the same.
Of course, there were some differences.
And the difference is that this side is pushed back by a small margin.
But it is a level that can be overcome.
Flash!
The monster followed Siwoo and unleashed a Super Speed (SS+) clone.
Flash! Kkwarung!
The whole world turned white as if a wall had burst.
The battle between Siwoo and the monster split the screen in an instant.
Even the flow of time was struggling to keep up with the two’s attacks.
Kwaa, ah!
The land that makes up the dungeon space collapses and collapses.
【“Mu, mush!”】
The ego remaining inside the monster screamed.
… was pushed.
I just couldn’t keep up with Siwoo’s movements.
Are you saying that there is a difference in speed?
No, it’s not.
There is a slight difference in speed, but it is by no means a significant difference.
The speed of Siwoo and the monster is clearly the same.
But it was still pushed back.
No, is it correct to say that it was pushed?
Quazajak!
The power of the ejected monster pressed down on Siwoo.
But Siwoo had already left that space a long time ago.
【“How··· is···?”】
The shock of the remaining self rose again.
nonsense.
It was clearly a blow delivered at the same speed.
But how could I escape as if I had known in advance─.
As if you knew it in advance?
Kiiing!
A ferocious malice rises.
At the same time, Siwoo’s fist, which had grabbed him from behind, shattered the rising malice.
Kwaang! The monster was able to realize this in the midst of the shock that exploded.
… was read.
Siwoo was reading this person’s thoughts and taking action.
It is a self-evident fact that even at the same speed, the one who acts first is faster.
Siwoo was moving half a beat or a beat faster than the monster.
A movement that seems to be looking into the future.
It was a power that could not be replicated, and another power that determined the difference between Shiwoo and the monster.
【“Kyaaaa …
The monster’s vicious mouth gapes open wide, and terrible rage rises within it.
Siwoo, who had already read the action, moved one beat faster.
But it doesn’t matter.
Because if you press down with such force that you can’t help but move a beat faster, that’s it.
Kwarung, kwarung!
The power of rising anger created a distortion in space.
The distortion of twisted space.
However, as if denying the distorted phenomenon, Siwoo lowered his raised foot.
Kwaaaaang!
The entire space-time that makes up the dungeon collapses.
The power of the rising anger disappears in an instant.
The monster’s body is shattered and its mind is shaken.
The force that was digging in again completely tore apart the mind of the monster that was shattered and destroyed.
This power, by its very existence, is a form of violence.
It was a terrible force that destroyed everything.
Hence the concept of power.
It was an absolute force that forced submission from all things.
【“Khahaha─!”】
I can not admit it.
I absolutely cannot admit it.
This power is something that no human can ever possess.
Even God cannot have this power.
My thoughts are cut off.
The flow of thought disappears.
The scenery became distorted, and an unrecognizable space unfolded.
In this space, even the concepts of good and evil are vague.
Neither God, nor man, nor anyone else.
It has no meaning in this space.
Nothingness.
The ego remaining within the monster could no longer continue to exist.
* * *
Tiring!
The sound of a smartphone notification is heard for a moment.
“haha…!”
Siwoo let out a rough breath and collected his wits.
Then, the consciousness that had been floating returned and the surrounding sensations became clearly recognized.
The sensation became distinct and a pain as if my whole body was breaking apart surged.
If every bone in your body were to crumble to dust, would it really be like this?
“Ahh…!”
Siwoo’s body began to sway as he was struck by a splitting headache.
I barely managed to regain my balance by grabbing my forehead with my hand.
But why is that?
Apart from the splitting headache, my head was very clear.
My head was so clean, as if the dregs of thought had been cleaned away.
Siwoo calmed his bubbling mind and body, feeling contradictory pain.
How much time has passed like that?
“Phew… .”
I let out a long breath, my mind and body calming down to some extent.
And only then was I able to check the notification window that appeared on my smartphone.
“Because it’s SR grade….”
Future Vision (SR).
The power of Shiuman, evolved from Zhuge Liang’s Insight (S+).
By the same logic, Hercules’s super strength (SS) evolved into his power (SSR), and Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk (SS) evolved into his complete lack of self (SSR).
“Is this what Cleopatra’s SR rank meant?”
To be exact, this could be said to be what the rating ‘R’ refers to.
Awakening new powers based on existing powers.
Learn from the past and learn from the new.
Learn the old, reflect on it, and realize the new.
In short, Siwoo’s strength (SSR) can be said to be based on Hercules’ strength (SS) with Siwoo’s own unique color added to it.
In that sense, Cleopatra’s charm [魅惑] (SR).
“Did Cleopatra also awaken her own power?”
Of course, the characters on GotTube had their own unique characteristics.
But Cleopatra seemed to have gone one step further.
“Come to think of it, it’s strange that Cleopatra has such great influence on GodTube.”
There is no denying that Cleopatra had a profound impact on human history.
But did it have that much of an impact?
If you ask me that, I can’t just nod my head.
“If you think about it, it was nothing more than a name made only of beauty.”
What Siwoo saw firsthand was definitely a beauty that would leave a mark on human history.
But on GotTube, she wasn’t that good-looking.
Even if you compare it to Aphrodite and Persephone right now, it was the same.
Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
Persephone, whom Hades fell in love with at first sight.
Compared to the two goddesses, Cleopatra’s beauty was not so prominent.
Plus various gods from mythology.
The greatest saints of all time and place.
It was true that Cleopatra’s status was inferior to theirs.
“But Cleopatra was a mademoiselle in high society, and she was in control of Godtube.”
It was Cleopatra’s charm (SR) that made it possible.
An amazing power that transcends human limitations and even fascinates all kinds of fantasy species.
“Have you overcome the limits of your power?”
Siwoo was able to resolve the question of what an SR grade is.
“But I still don’t know the mechanism by which the fascination is triggered.”
But it did not solve the question of Cleopatra’s charm [SR].
This was, as the saying goes, Cleopatra’s ‘unique power’ that she had just discovered on Godtube.
“Anyway, I have to meet Cleopatra.”
Siwoo just let out a small laugh.
anyway.
Slowly turn your head to one side of your vision.
Slowly, slowly, I could see the sight of the monstrous creature.
“He’s not dead.”
Surprisingly, the monster was not dead, but alive and moving.
But it couldn’t be seen as alive.
A monstrosity that moves around, as if responding to stimulation.
The feeling I got wasn’t particularly evil.
“… I called you a traitor.”
Siwoo repeated what the monster, the crazy fox, had said.
The mad fox exploded with rage at Siwoo, calling him a traitor.
The mad fox, consumed by rage, gave up even his own existence.
He only wanted to kill Siu.
The result is this creepy, squawky, ugly thing.
But of course, Siwoo was not a traitor.
Siwoo didn’t even know who the crazy fox was.
Still, the crazy fox was convinced that Siwoo was a traitor.
mistaken?
That could have been the case.
It was very possible that I was mistaken.
However, the Future Vision (SR) evolved based on Zhuge Liang’s insight (S+).
A future of nearly infinite possibilities unfolds in my mind.
Eventually, a strange force penetrates the unfolding future of possibility.
“That blond guy from back then.”
The blond man who first handed Siwoo the smartphone from Gottube.
The traitor the mad fox spoke of was likely referring to the blond man.
It was thanks to the blond man that Siwoo was able to use the powers of many gods.
The mad fox may have noticed this and ‘mistakenly’ thought that Siwoo was a traitor.
It wasn’t certain.
It could have been nothing more than the crazy words of a crazy fox.
But it was true that it was a possibility that could not be ignored.
And betrayal meant abandoning trust or loyalty.
It refers to the act of turning one’s back on someone who was originally on the same side.
This means that.
“The blond man was the devil?”
I was able to reach this conclusion.
At the same time, it becomes clear that the blond man was a member of Pandemonium.
Because the mad fox was a demon and a wound-level executive of Pandemonium.
If you think about it… .
The silver-haired man who fought against the blond man at the time.
“It was like a devil…?”
Because it was so long ago, my memory was vague.
Above all, Siwoo’s level at the time was such that he could not recognize such a singularity.
At that time, Siwoo was a hunter who wasn’t even an F-rank.
What does an Awakened person who can’t even be called a Hunter know?
I was just trembling with fear.
But now that I think about it… .
“Isn’t that just an absurd assumption?”
That means,
“For some reason the blond man betrayed Pandemonium?”
You could say it like this:
As part of this, he handed over Godtube’s smartphone to Siwoo.
“But why?”
For what purpose?
No, is it really true that the blond guy is part of Pandemonium?
So the blonde guy is the real devil?
So what is the relationship with the red shadow?
What is the identity of the red shadow?
In the first place, why did the devil give me Godtube’s smartphone…?
“… What happened?”
One question leads to another.
And there is only one being who can solve that question.
Siwoo stared blankly at the squirming monstrosity.
“… I don’t know what to ask.”
If you simply asked, you could have asked.
But there would be no answer.
Slowly, slowly, it seems like it only reacts to stimuli.
“I should have saved my strength.”
The power of the SSR [無我全爲] that was cast by none other than Siwoo at the end.
The power seemed to have destroyed the monster’s ego.
“I think the result would have been the same even if I had adjusted my strength.”
In the first place, the monster gave up its own existence.
All that remained was a remnant of the self.
In the end, even if he hadn’t cast the SSR skill, the result would have been the same, with the monster’s ego disappearing.
“Then what do I do with this?”
This made it difficult to deal with the monster.
Of course, it would be best to just get rid of it.
It was a monster that had lost all its strength and was just limping around, but it was still a monster.
You never knew when, where, or what kind of threat there would be.
It might not have been.
But is it really necessary to leave behind dangerous molecules?
but.
“Let me ask Hercules if he knows her.”
I wanted to know the identity of this monster.
So, that’s the identity of the crazy fox.
Given the circumstances… the devil seemed certain.
But I couldn’t tell what kind of demon it was.
What Siwoo knows is that this monster’s name is Crazy Fox.
And that he could be a character from GodTube.
“I should ask Hercules if he knows.”
So, wouldn’t Hercules know the identity of the monster?
But um.
“I can’t contact Hercules right now.”
Judging from the fact that there was still no contact, it seemed that he was in close conversation with Hades.
Siwoo could have contacted me first, but I didn’t want to bother him by contacting him for no reason.
The identity of the monster was important, but Hades’ information was also important.
“Where shall we put him until Hercules returns?”
If I carry it around like this… .
Slowly.
How can you carry around that disgusting monstrosity?
The appearance that made you not want to touch it literally evoked a sense of ‘disgust’.
But that doesn’t mean you can just abandon it in this dungeon.
“I wonder if it will fit into the subspace pocket.”
The subspace pockets were originally unable to contain living things.
Also, this monster was also a living thing.
But who knows?
Siwoo picked up the monster and put it in his subspace pocket.
Then swoosh.
Did you get into the subspace pocket without any problems?
“…What?”
Siwoo was rather perplexed by the phenomenon that did not cause much resistance.
But the feeling of confusion only lasted for a moment.
“Is it the existence of the self rather than the existence of life?”
It seemed like that was the case.
Monsters may be living beings, but they have lost their sense of self.
That’s why I think I was able to get into the subspace pocket.
“Anyway, that’s fortunate.”
A situation that was resolved well in many ways.
“Oh, right. I wonder if Seo-ah is okay.”
It was only then that Siwoo began to worry about Seoah.
Judging from what the crazy fox said, there was a high possibility that Lee Ye-jun went to Seo-ah.
When I saw the deal with the devil and all that, I couldn’t help but think of the old Lee Ye-jun.
Well, Black Stone was guarding Seo-ah.
“I need to go to the hospital quickly.”
Siwoo hurriedly left the dungeon.
