## Chapter 1731 – The Life of a Transcender – A Black Hair Foreigner’s Tale
Transcenders are special.
They’re damn fast and damn strong.
—Screeeeeech!
The tentacled man in clothes, like other Transcenders, accelerated at a crazy speed, soaring upwards to escape.
And then.
—Kwaaaaang!
He crashes into my barrier.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
The barrier was intact. Unable to withstand the impact, the guy lost his balance and bounced off.
“I fucking hate guys who only run away.”
I learned that the hard way last time.
Battles between Transcenders are completely different from ordinary battles.
We fight in infinite space. Without any restrictions. We can fight endlessly, traversing the infinite universe and infinite dimensions.
We can traverse the infinite universe at super speed, or open a dimensional gate to escape to another infinite universe in another dimension, then come back and stab you in the back.
The space is too vast.
In the end, to fight, you need to limit the space. I don’t like boring, shitty chase scenes. I’ve been honing my skills so that no one would dare pull such tricks on me.
“This Heavenly Demon, Kim Kat, has been honing his skills in creating barriers all this time.”
Well, I even invaded the dimensions of Taoists to acquire the know-how of creating small dimensions. I used that to continue training.
[… … …!]
The guy sent me some kind of thought, but it’s completely incomprehensible. Well, it wouldn’t have mattered even if I understood. There’s no conversation. There’s no compromise from the moment he invaded my territory. There’s no point in exposing my location to a guy like that.
I’ll kill him no matter what.
—Paaat!
—Hwarururuk!
The guy who was bouncing off tried to create a gate for escape.
Of course, he can’t escape.
“Heavenly Demon Gate.”
—Hwaruruk!
I overlap my gate with the gate the guy was creating. That twists the path of the dimension, and the gate scatters.
At the same time.
—Jjwaaaaaak!
I compress my barrier, which was spread out very widely. As the barrier rapidly shrinks, its durability is amplified. If you were going to break it, you should have hit it with all your power on the first strike. That’s why you’re bound to be defeated if you don’t know the other person’s tricks.
[……..!]
—Kuoong!
—Kuoong!
By that point, it seemed he had grasped the situation, and he began to pound on my barrier, emitting a huge amount of energy. Of course, it’s no use. The barrier was being repaired in real time, becoming even stronger.
You won’t break it easily.
If he uses a big technique, I’ll aim for that gap and kill him.
—Jjwaaaaaak!
As the guy was trapped inside the barrier, unable to go anywhere, he finally seemed to make a decision, gathering his tentacles and starting to gather a huge amount of energy. He’s about to use a big technique. As soon as I witnessed that, I started to act.
—Paaat!
“Lock him up and beat him down!”
Limit the field so he can’t escape, and kill him inside! If he shows an opening by using a big technique, even better!
[……!]
“Hey! No one gets out until one of us dies!”
The speed of imagination. I flew towards the guy with all my power and unleashed the Heavenly Demon Breaking Sky Palm. The destruction of my fist is fired towards the guy. At a speed that even ordinary Transcenders wouldn’t be able to see.
—Paaat!
The guy canceled his casting and tried to respond by aiming something with his tentacles.
But it was impossible to avoid or block. I’ve become stronger than before. And the inside of the barrier is my territory itself. Wouldn’t it be natural to receive buffs inside?
—Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!
The Heavenly Demon Breaking Sky Palm that collided shattered the space. The guy who existed in that space as well.
—Pshat!
The guy didn’t even put up a proper resistance and exploded into tens of thousands of pieces, scattering.
“Samadhi Fire.”
I immediately burned those flying fragments.
—Hwarururururuk!
Transcenders usually regenerate tenaciously. The Vampire Lord I killed a long time ago was also incredibly tenacious. Only by removing all of his fragments can you truly claim victory.
—Hwaruruk…!
The tens of thousands of flames that burned moved according to my will and merged. Thus, the fragments that had been completely kneaded while burning were presented before my eyes.
“Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”
—Heavenly Demon Knead Knead.
I kneaded the guy who had become a dough haphazardly, creating a shape as I pleased. Should I make a spherical shape for now?
“End.”
I subdued him in an instant.
So that he couldn’t escape or regenerate.
“Hehehe, this is very good.”
It’s worth the effort I put into honing my skills. Killing that bastard, the Infinite Army, was more complicated than this. I just kept going on a frustrating chase.
In the first place, all I have to do is prevent him from running away.
That’s why I invested time in the barrier.
My power is prevalent in this area. After all, isn’t it my territory? I had done various preparations so that my huge barrier could be deployed in an instant.
But how can you beat me?
No one can beat a prepared Heavenly Demon.
—Jjwaaaaaak!
While congratulating myself, I continued to compress the barrier that was spread around. My barrier, compressed and compressed, began to gather on my palm. Of course, that dough from just now was placed on my palm.
—Kukung!
The barrier that surrounds the circular dough. A transparent, hard, and thick barrier, called a barrier, constantly shrinks, powerfully compressing the dough.
And then.
—Hwiik!
I threw the barrier, the size of a baseball, in which the dough was trapped.
“Heavenly Demon Death Beam.”
I fired the final Heavenly Demon Death Beam. —Chwahahaaaaaak! The fired ultimate ray of destruction struck the barrier as it was.
—Paaat!
With that, the dough completely disappeared.
“Transcender cut.”
I completely annihilated the Transcender who invaded from another world. At the same time, I feel the guy’s energy scattering. My barrier absorbs the scattered massive energy.
“It’s a decent level of energy.”
I will use this to strengthen my barrier as well.
* * *
“Transcenders from other worlds want to devour other Transcenders. That is one of the most effective ways to amplify their power.”
Transcenders are, literally, perpetual motion machines. They spew out energy they create themselves. If not God, what would you call that?
The stars scattered in the universe. Stars maintain an absurd temperature of thousands to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius for billions of years. Their size is basically hundreds or thousands of times larger than Earth.
Stars are such overwhelming beings.
But even those stars cannot create energy on their own. They are all burning themselves… The story went a bit off track. In other words, even if they spew out energy on their own, devouring other Transcenders is a faster way to become stronger.
“He probably came to test the waters after reading my power. But testing the waters in our world? Even that requires you to do your best and risk your life. The moment you let your guard down, it’s over. This is the same for humans. Transcenders are not much different.”
“…”
“Anyway. The point is that.”
I continue to explain.
“No matter how strong the enemy is, if you prepare thoroughly and set up the board, you can defeat them in an instant.”
—Paaat!
I project the scenes I just saw like a hologram. It’s a kind of beam projector. I project my memories onto a barrier created in the shape of a square board.
“I trapped him in a pre-prepared barrier and then hit him with the most terrifying and strongest strike. There was no place to escape, and if he tried to open a dimensional gate, I immediately created a dimensional gate there and shattered it. If he can’t escape, he can’t be my opponent.”
After showing the video and explaining it all.
“Um… Dad?”
“Yeah. Why.”
“You haven’t even been gone for 2 minutes.”
“Did it turn out that way?”
“Yes.”
Nick said with a dumbfounded face. Really? Not even 2 minutes? I informed Nick, went to catch him, and immediately returned, but only 2 minutes had passed in this time.
“So I haven’t told anyone yet.”
“What? Hey, you idiot. You have to make emergency contact right away. I told you to do it, are you slacking off?”
“No, it’s not that! I was gathering energy to communicate remotely!”
“Ah, that?”
Our family can send messages to each other whenever we want. If you’re a demigod, you can communicate remotely even without a cell phone.
It doesn’t feel emotional, so I don’t use it often except for these emergency contacts, but it seemed that Nick was about to use it when I came back.
“You idiot. You should have trained to do that in just 1 second. What if you can’t do it in 2 minutes?”
“Um… I guess so. It’s my fault.”
“Hehehe, yeah. Train that next time.”
“Yes.”
Nick nodded.
“So, Father? What is the identity of this Transcender that you killed in 2 minutes?”
Nick asks, pointing at the screen.
“Hmm.”
I saw the exact appearance. He has a head like a large dog shell, and below that is a human-like body. He’s wearing clothes on his body.
Tentacles are hanging down from under the dog shell, and tentacles are growing out of his back. I have no idea what he does. At this point, isn’t he an alien?
“I don’t know, damn it. You have to capture him alive to find out, but I can’t do that.”
This was a principle I had since I was an adventurer. Of course, it’s good to capture him alive and extract information, but that’s only possible when there’s a big difference in skill between you and the opponent.
You have to kill him with all your power if possible. Without any time to capture him. Fighting an enemy who’s trying to kill me while keeping the enemy alive is an absurdly difficult thing.
Even now, I set up the board and followed the plan to fuck him up, but if I fought with the premise of keeping him alive, I don’t know what would happen. I would give him a chance, and if he broke the barrier, I would have to move on to Plan B, but that’s too boring and shitty of a task.
“That’s true… Ah, but.”
Nick said blankly.
“This Transcender must have been a tremendous powerhouse in another dimension. Just like Dad.”
“No. He was definitely weaker than me.”
“Ah, let’s just say that.”
“Yeah. Never.”
“This childish man…!”
There’s no way this bastard is stronger than me.
“Anyway! Even a guy like that dies in an instant if he’s careless!”
“He might not have been careless.”
A guy who’s a Transcender probably wasn’t careless. Maybe he just got caught off guard because it was an unexpected situation.
“Let’s just say that. Thinking about it that way, it’s a bit empty. Even if you’re strong, you die like this. In the end, Transcenders also have similar parts to humans, as Dad said.”
“So. What do you think when you realize that?”
“I have to live hard, that kind of thought? I kind of have it.”
“Good boy!”
That’s a good realization!
—Warak!
I immediately hugged my son!
“No! Why! I just said something sincere! Don’t punish me!!!”
“Hehehe! Thank you, nameless Transcender!”
Thanks to you, Nick realized something good!
Maybe that Transcender wasn’t a bluebird-like fairy?
