Episode 287.
Talent.
The skills and abilities needed to do something.
One day, Zhuge Liang spoke to Shi Yu about talent.
[Teacher Siwoo is less talented than anyone I’ve ever seen.]
It was a merciless, bone-chilling word.
But it was also a fact that could not be refuted.
No individuality.
Because Siwoo was a being without any talent whatsoever.
Now I am learning the power of the gods by subscribing to the channel on GodTube.
He realized Siu’s power and had what could be called Siu’s power.
However, there was nothing that could be called ‘talent’.
Siwoo still had no talent.
I was still slower at learning than others.
I still achieved things slower than others.
What if it had been someone other than Siwoo?
Han Chae-rin, called the genius of the century.
A talent unique in human history, the Heavenly Martial Arts Body.
What if Han Chae-rin could learn the power of GotTube like Si-woo?
What if Han Chae-rin, not Si-woo, had gotten GotTube’s smartphone?
If a blonde man gave Han Chae-rin a smartphone from Gottube.
What would have been the result?
I don’t know for sure, but he must have been far superior to Siwoo.
It was something that might have already surpassed Hercules.
Some people say.
A talented person cannot beat a hard worker.
A stupid turtle is faster than a quick rabbit.
But the reality was not like that.
The tortoise can never catch up with the rabbit.
Hard work never beats talent.
[That is why talent is called a blessing from God. Everyone wants to be talented and envies those who are talented.]
but.
[While looking at Mr. Siwoo, this thought suddenly occurred to me.]
Zhuge Liang continued speaking with a cool smile.
[Is talent really a blessing from God?]
Shi Woo couldn’t understand Zhuge Liang’s words.
Talent is a blessing from God, so what does that mean?
The deception of the talented.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang’s words sounded unpleasant to Siwoo.
After a while, Zhuge Liang continued speaking slowly.
[I have a question for you, Mr. Siwoo. What do you think if I say I want to learn swordsmanship?]
‘Well, I guess you can learn it.’
[Then what if I wanted to give up being a strategist and become a knight?]
Zhuge Liang becomes a knight who uses a sword?
‘uh….’
To be honest, it wasn’t that great.
Because it was clear that it wouldn’t accomplish much.
Zhuge Liang was a man of extraordinary intelligence, but he was terrible at using his body.
So, the first thought that came to my mind was, “Is it really necessary?”
[After all, I am the type of person who is suited to be a bookseller.]
Then Zhuge Liang answered with a small smile.
And there was no denying it.
I was also wondering where he learned the expression “bookworm.”
[Others will probably react the same way as Mr. Siwoo. If I said I wanted to become a knight, they would surely scold me for wasting my extraordinary talent.]
Zhuge Liang’s talent, insight (S+).
Certainly this talent was more suited to a scribe than a knight.
It was suitable for work that involved the head rather than the body.
[That’s what it means to have talent.]
Zhuge Liang continued speaking slowly.
[It means being obsessed with that talent.]
Only then.
Shiwoo vaguely understood Zhuge Liang’s words.
[The moment you acquire talent, especially if it is a talent that is overwhelmingly greater than others, that person’s life is decided.]
You can’t help but be tied down by that talent.
Even if you want to do something else, you won’t be able to.
[Whether you want it or not.]
Zhuge Liang continued speaking.
[As a bookseller, I can achieve outstanding results based on my outstanding talents.]
but.
[You can’t achieve anything by being anything other than a bookworm. It would be more accurate to say that you can’t even challenge yourself, let alone achieve anything.]
Because the talent he possesses is overwhelming.
Because it is useless to challenge yourself in other fields.
[However, Mr. Siwoo is not like that.]
No individuality.
Because Siwoo wasn’t given any talent.
[Teacher Siwoo can challenge anything.]
Thus, Siwoo was able to become a hero like Hercules.
He could have become a strategist like Zhuge Liang.
I could have become a member of parliament like Hwa-ta.
He could have become a blacksmith like Hephaestus.
A Confucian scholar like Confucius.
A god like Jang Sam-bong.
A messenger like Hermes.
Of course, wizards like Isis.
Hydra, Thor, Azure Dragon, Cleopatra, Ra, Arachne.
Siwoo could have been anything.
[Regardless of how much you achieve.]
That I have no talent.
That I was not given any talent.
[That’s tantamount to saying that it holds infinite possibilities.]
Zhuge Liang said.
Still, Siwoo could not quite agree.
There is infinite potential in not having any talent.
To put it the other way around:
‘If there is someone who is given all the talents in this world, wouldn’t that be the same?’
Can’t we also see that those who are endowed with all talents possess infinite potential?
I don’t know if such a being exists in the world.
But if Siwoo wasn’t given any talent, then wouldn’t there be someone who was given all the talent in the world?
And if there is such a being.
It was clear that his potential was more limitless than Siwoo’s.
Whatever you do.
Whatever you do.
This will be a truly overwhelming achievement.
but.
[I don’t think so.]
Zhuge Liang was resolute.
[Because he has already been granted everything.]
And it was also difficult.
It was difficult to grasp its meaning.
In the end, what Zhuge Liang wanted to say was simple.
Since there is no talent whatsoever, there is no binding anywhere.
It has infinite potential to become anything.
It was a simple statement indeed.
But why is that?
[This is the direction of the divinity that Mr. Siwoo possesses.]
Shi Woo had a hard time understanding Zhuge Liang’s words.
* * *
A blazing fire of eons.
It burned the very existence of the lazy monkey.
Nothing made sense in the face of this endless fire.
All the talent in the world was nothing in the face of this flame.
It was just burned and swallowed.
“Eww!!!!”
The lazy monkey let out a scream that was almost like a scream.
The fire even consumed the scream.
But it couldn’t even stop the madness unleashed by the lazy monkey.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!!!!”
A feast of blossoming madness.
The lazy monkey lost his reason.
The magic power contained in the fingertips of the lazy monkey was seething.
Soon, as I slashed the empty space in front of me, crunch!
The space covered in flames was torn apart.
Is it possible for Siwoo to do nothing about this power?
Ugh!
Siwoo stepped back, drooling.
The lazy monkey followed Siwoo, who was retreating like lightning.
He put all his talents to work and pressured Siwoo.
The power of combining all the talents in this world.
Kwak wak wak bang!
The magical power released from control spread in all directions.
It rushed towards Siwoo, tearing the entire space apart.
KWAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
A huge amount of magical power flew out in all directions.
No one can survive this power.
Only then did the lazy monkey give a small smile…?
Startle!
The lazy monkey shivered without realizing it.
A feeling of discomfort that feels like it’s tickling my whole body.
More precisely, a sense of discomfort that permeates the entire space.
It felt like thousands of ants were crawling all over my body.
It seemed like the capillaries all over my body were inflamed.
There is something… something.
There is something in this space.
“what…?”
The question naturally arose.
and.
Kkiyaaaaaaaah!!
From somewhere… a cry was heard.
It was like the screams of the demons of hell.
It was like the endless howling of the prisoners of hell.
As it echoes.
It resonates through the air.
Kkiyaaaaaaaah!!
The sound of the groan echoes once again.
The groaning continued and continued.
It started out as just one, but soon it filled the entire space.
Thus, something unknown is cast over the entire space.
“What the heck is this….”
The lazy monkey had no idea what it was.
It was like a beast covered in pitch-black hatred and madness.
It was like a beast sculpted with blind murderous intent.
It was like a demon from hell, but it wasn’t a demon from hell.
Something that does not exist in this world.
It’s weird.
Powerful.
It’s a mess.
Something divine.
It was something that could only be defined in this way.
Soon, a red light began to appear across the space.
Even at that moment, they continued to gather and add color.
The whole world was covered in a bright red glow, as if red paint was being added to the landscape.
In it, one can feel an endless thirst for blood.
The desires of hunger burst out.
They looked like they would tear the lazy monkey to pieces at any moment.
“gibberish!!”
The lazy monkey cried out.
He clawed at the space as if he was throwing a tantrum.
Condensed and cohesive magical powers surged forward, tearing apart the space itself.
however.
Kkiyaaaaaaaah!!
I can’t… reach it.
It is…unapproachable.
Even with all the talent in the world gathered together, it would be impossible to reach there…
“W, that’s… ridiculous…”
An indescribable amazement arises.
And then, trudging.
A small sound of footsteps could be heard ahead.
And when I confirmed the identity of those footsteps.
“You, you….”
The lazy monkey could see.
I could feel it.
A lazy monkey who has everything in the world.
A lazy monkey endowed with all the talents in the world.
The lazy monkey could achieve whatever he wanted.
That made the lazy monkey lazy, but still the lazy monkey could always achieve what he wanted.
You could get whatever you wanted.
But now.
That human named Maeng Si-woo.
I couldn’t have the talent that Maeng Si-woo had.
Couldn’t even have it.
Having it itself is a paradox.
Because it was a contradiction.
That’s because it wasn’t talent.
Because it was something that couldn’t be called talent.
Something beyond talent.
That’s why the lazy monkey couldn’t figure out what it was.
The lazy monkey is the first.
“You, you….”
I was just encountering something that was beyond my talent.
Hercules’ divine fighting skills.
The third form.
A monster’s scream and spirit attack.
* * *
A phenomenon that cannot be explained by existing laws.
Can that be defined as a phenomenon?
Could this be a physical law that could exist in this universe?
well.
People couldn’t quite answer that question.
“Three, my goodness….”
“How could this happen…?”
Everyone in Yangon was shocked and had their mouths wide open.
And the same was true for Selina.
Selina couldn’t come to her senses for a while.
The phenomenon that was happening before her eyes was completely inexplicable to Selina’s common sense.
Should I say that I can’t believe it even though I’m seeing it with my own eyes?
A mysterious landscape where the whole world falls into chaos.
Is this really something humans can create?
The truly absurd sight made Selina’s eyes open in shock.
But there was something else that shocked Selina even more.
An unidentified being wearing a monkey mask.
“It… disappeared…?”
That primordial evil has been completely eradicated.
