Chapter 406 – Famous (1)
It’s already been over twenty times since I’ve sparred with the Heavenly Demon.
There was no need for a start or signal.
Cheonma complied with my request to make it as close to real-life as possible, and in most cases, real-time meant from the moment our eyes met.
Huh, I dodged the outstretched fist of the Heavenly Demon with a swipe.
Even though it was clear that he had dodged it, it was as if he had been cut by a sharp knife, blood splattered from his torn cheek, and his teeth were exposed through the flesh split in half.
In any case, what was avoided was avoided.
But it ended there.
While I was covering my eyes with my fist, the Heavenly Demon’s knee kick, which was raised to my abdomen, landed squarely in my abdomen, and I fell down, coughing up blood.
-I saw that kind of future.
It hasn’t been long since I became aware of it, but it’s a new ability I have.
To be honest, it required divinity to use, and since it was an ability that originated from the power of Ariad, who had godhood in the first place, it could be called a power, and was a prediction of the future.
Of course, it was not a prediction of the future in its original form.
Instead of the foresight that I saw before – at the level of seeing an apocalypse where the world is going to shit, I changed it to the ability to see the extremely short, immediate future.
I did that because the consumption of divinity was much reduced and it was much more useful for immediate sparring or combat than foresight that could foresee the distant future.
Even if you only see the future for a moment, or at most 1 or 2 seconds in terms of time, you are still seeing the future first.
Even I, who had only been a superhuman for a few months, knew very well how great an advantage this could give in a battle between superhumans, which can be decided in seconds.
So this time, instead of dodging the Heavenly Demon’s fist, I grabbed it.
The dragon’s claws, which had caught the Heavenly Demon’s fist, were crunched due to the impact.
That’s it.
My arm didn’t hurt.
However.
The future has changed.
No, it was changing.
Through my right eye, future vision, which is predicting the future in real time, I could see the Heavenly Demon’s body being divided into several parts.
In the realm of superhumans, foresight of the future, one or two seconds in advance, is certainly a powerful force.
If the target is an opponent of the same level, it is a power that can be said to be invincible in a one-on-one match.
However, in the realm of transcendents beyond the category of superhumans, future foreknowledge was an ability that was only limited to seeing a little ‘quickly.’
Reflexes, experience, intuition… For a transcendental who has built up all of that and is on the verge of ascension.
“Hmm.”
It was nothing more than a stunt, with the corner of his mouth twitching in admiration as he watched me block his fist.
In the realm of the future, where there are countless divisions, the Heavenly Demon will either push me with the hand I held and blow off my chin, or twist me and knock me over, or even crush me with force.
It had enough power to force that future into a future that would defeat me in all sorts of ways.
Me, who looks ahead for a moment, and the Heavenly Demon, who gathers together a large group of people who have become accustomed to that moment and is close to eternity, and forces it to happen.
And he is a human being who has the ability to foresee the future, and who can only helplessly be oppressed by that force.
Even the mighty of superhumans become equals and losers in front of the transcendent.
Can not help it.
No matter how much I foresee the future, unless my body can ‘overcome’ that future, the capabilities of the other person are so different that I can force it to happen.
At first glance, foreseeing the future may seem like invincibility, but if you don’t have the strength to overcome the impending future, it’s like nothing.
The ability to simply contemplate.
It is an ability that you just have to look ahead and just observe.
That was the same as saying that unless I get stronger, unless I change, I can’t stop the future that I saw coming.
Therefore.
Even if we do everything we can, we will twist that future.
Psik…
Unlike the right eye, which looks into the future, the eye of Shinjo looks at the essence of things and people… The eye of Shinjo obtained from Karura.
Through the Tian Tong Eye, I saw the future that had the most potential among countless futures.
This too was not about seeing a certain future.
All I could do was take another look at the existence of the Heavenly Demon.
Because that’s enough.
The Cheonma is a monster that has learned all martial arts.
Even the countless martial arts that will be born in the future are beings that will definitely be mastered.
Because he was such a Heavenly Demon, all of his actions were rational.
A being who defeats the opponent most efficiently and emerges victorious… A seeker and ascetic heading towards invincibility.
Because he was such a being, he was able to foresee the future of the Heavenly Demon once more.
No, it was closer to predicting.
It was more like mentally reviewing once more what I would do if it was the Heavenly Demon I looked into or if it was the Heavenly Demon I knew.
As a result, the future does not change.
Because there was no reason for a Heavenly Demon who was ahead of me in power and who could already achieve what he wanted to do to change what he had already decided to do.
My future, which seemed countless and overlapping, was nothing more than a simple fake by the Heavenly Demon, who knew my abilities.
So, face the reality.
Even if you say you blocked it, not avoided it.
I could see the Heavenly Demon’s knee piercing me with the intention of crushing me.
The future I saw for the first time, just like that.
Since there was no need to change, I saw the Heavenly Demon forcing the unchanged future as is.
Avoiding it is impossible.
Even if I tried to avoid it, there was no way I could escape the Heavenly Demon from this distance.
In the first place, then even the future I had foreseen, which was made up of a fixed present at best, would change.
Oman.
No, it was clear that the Heavenly Demon, who was trying to force me to lose because he was confident of that, would try to win in another way if I tried to overcome the crisis using another method.
Invincible.
The Gishin created by the wishes of those who wish for him is someone who always strives to win.
So, from the front.
Even though there was a crunch, the crunch was nothing more than a dragon’s claw – I twisted my right hand, which could move even though the muscles were torn and the bones were broken into several pieces.
Even with my physical strength strengthened by the werewolf and oni’s ability, the Heavenly Demon’s fist, which I was barely holding on to, did not budge.
The energy inside me spun fiercely.
Repulsion of force.
The force of the Heavenly Demon, which was trying to crush me with force, caused the force of the Heavenly Demon’s fist, which was as heavy as Taishan, to push back, and as a result, the energy that had repeatedly rotated was moved to the left.
Transfer of power.
Originally, it had to be moved using a single organ called dantian, so at my level, it would have taken a year just to move the energy, but with the help of the nine tails that had already been pulled out, I moved it to the left at once, toward the direction where the Heavenly Demon’s Knee was approaching. .
Pop, pop, pop.
I felt my clenched teeth crumble, and the enormous amount of energy that had been amplified all at once was transferred, and I felt my energy and blood gushing out.
Bursting, tearing, but regenerating.
The energy that was transferred like that was emitted from the left.
Protrusion of power.
Taegeuk, one of the martial arts that I learned from Cheonma.
I practiced martial arts that involved using the opponent’s strength, amplifying that strength, and striking back with that strength.
That wasn’t all.
Rigid, solid, reinforced, strong, strong,
All the durability-enhancing spells that I know of are manifested according to circuits already engraved inside the body.
I wasn’t very good at her intelligence, so I didn’t have time to study with Ho Aran and learn the countless magic spells she knew.
So, it wasn’t cooked.
Anyway, there was Hoa who could use the spell for me, so I left the spelling entirely to Hoa.
Instead, I made my arms and legs into a kind of tool.
No matter how many of my limbs are torn and regenerated, I have carved a permanent scar on myself to the extent that even the circuit created by those blood vessels can be restored.
It hurt like hell every time I engraved it, but the effect was amazing.
The strengthening spell, strengthened by the enormous amount of energy I had left without any presumption of efficiency, turned my left arm into a strong fortress.
No matter how strong the sword is, it is a fortress so thick that it cannot even cleave the bones, even if it tears the skin on my arm.
However…
I’m going to go to the middle of the day…!
“Phew!”
Why are the results the same?
It was definitely spilled, but the left hand that had been letting go of the Heavenly Demon’s knee was crushed by the dragon’s claws, and the impact on his abdomen made him cry out and vomit out the blood that came up.
I saw the future…
I did the best I could…
But it also broke through.
Of course, it wasn’t completely ineffective.
I vomited blood, but unlike the future I saw, it was more of a whoop rather than a whoop.
Although I wasn’t able to shed all of it, I was able to shed some of the Heavenly Demon’s attacks.
But that was all.
Both dragon’s claws were tattered, and the center of Cheonho’s armor, where Cheonma’s knee was inserted, was dented.
It wasn’t torn or broken, but I could feel the internal organs pierced by Cheonho’s dented armor being torn into pieces.
Thanks to the hard work I did on my abdominal muscles, I ended up with a hole in my stomach if it weren’t for it.
As if strengthening it with magic was worth it, my left arm was perfectly fine.
In the first place, the impact went through the arm and into the body, so it seemed like it would have broken even if it hadn’t been strengthened.
