Chapter 808 – Declaration of War
Even though Seong-il made a big fuss this time, the reason the manager was late was probably because something had started on the ark. Anyway, whatever the situation, once preparations for the offensive were completed, the manager, not wanting to waste any more time, attempted a powerful psionic attack towards Seong-il.
‘Fuck… I was prepared…!!’
Faced with an all-out offensive by managers whose number has doubled compared to before, Seong-il grits his teeth and tries to somehow block their attacks with the power of his domain. Looking at each ability individually, the superpowers used by the managers also showed overwhelming power, even though they were fundamentally similar to the abilities used by S-class human superpowers. Therefore, Seong-il desperately tries to defend against their attacks by raising his internal strength in response to the sharp attacks of managers whose differences are so incomprehensible.
‘… Dig in?’
It is clear that Seong-il’s response is to understand their strength and provide optimized defense, but for some reason, Seong-il feels that the manager’s attacks are heavier and sharper than those of the S-class hunters he had previously encountered.
‘Why…?’
In the midst of the ruthless flood of supernatural powers, Seong-il desperately maintains his territory and tries to understand the uniqueness of their attacks.
‘It’s obviously hydrochloric acid, lightning, flames, shock waves, etc., But why are their attacks different from the normal ones…?’
Seong-il grits his teeth and repeatedly endures the bizarre and heavy baptism of supernatural power sprayed by the manager.
“Ho…!! You can block this attack with your territory? It’s a little different from ordinary livestock, isn’t it?”
“I see. Maintaining the territory itself is not easy, but spreading the territory over such a wide area and preventing attacks by priests…? He’s an interesting guy. Let’s take him alive and dissect him if possible.”
“Of course. But before that, I’ll have to make him pay for his arrogance. I’ll spare only his brain and eyeballs and make him watch his body being dissected, piece by piece, like a gun.”
“That’s good!”
A manager who makes terrible noises while pounding on Seongil’s territory. However, Seong-il knows that their conversation is half a provocation, so instead of overreacting, he desperately focuses on analyzing the heterogeneity of the supernatural powers they use.
‘Is this… A mixture of abilities…?’
For a long time, I was beaten by the manager’s supernatural power attack. Seong-il finally succeeds in understanding some of the special characteristics of their attacks.
‘You’ve fused two different powers into one…!!’
Seong-il is shocked when he realizes why the manager’s attack is causing such a strong blow to his territory.
‘Crazy… They perfectly mix the roots of two powers and reborn as a new power… They’re crazy, but they’re amazing.’
Although he was using telekinesis, sensitivity, and the power of time in conjunction with one another, his method of use was literally ‘linkage’. Because of this, Seong-il appears astonished by the manager’s method of using his superpowers by ‘melting’ two completely different laws into one.
‘Can I do it too…?’
Despite the fact that about half of the area has been destroyed and the manager’s attack has reached the vicinity, Seong-il is not embarrassed or afraid, but instead desperately focuses on the manager’s attack and tries to learn the attack methods they use.
Exciting…!!
That was when Seong-il was curious about their patterns and strongly ‘desired’ to analyze them. Suddenly, time around Seong-il slows down tremendously and the administrator’s attack begins to slow down little by little. In addition, paradoxically, Seongil’s ability, the speed of response, spreads very quickly to the surrounding area through the power of time, and he begins to calmly analyze their attacks.
“Whoa…”
Despite the fact that the internal power consumption value of most of the superpowers in use was halved not long ago thanks to the upgraded sensitivity, Seongil feels extreme internal power consumption thanks to the two powers that extended strongly at the moment.
‘Is it because the cost of consumption has decreased…? I can survive somehow if I use combat meditation…?’
However, interestingly, Bunhon absorbs the surrounding magic power through combat meditation as quickly as the internal power consumed and replaces it with Seongil’s internal power, thereby relieving his burden.
‘I like it, so the cost of consumption is half… In fact, thanks to the recovery power of battle meditation, my total internal strength is almost eight times that of before…?’
Now that he no longer has to worry about draining his internal strength, Seong-il puts all his effort into analyzing the power they unleash without any pressure.
‘… I think I understand.’
I still don’t know the exact mechanism, but Seongil still feels like he can vaguely know how they use their abilities.
‘Is this what it is…?’
Seong-il, like managers do, forces the two laws of sensitivity and telekinesis into a very small space and then makes them collide violently. Then, after violently opposing each other, the two forces break down little by little and begin to fuse into one.
“…!!”
It was difficult at first, but as Seong-il repeated the same action several times, he began to quickly learn the act of breaking his strength. For a long time, I tried to break the two powers into small pieces and mix them into one. At some point, Seong-il feels that the two powers are completely combined.
‘… It feels similar to Jeong Cheon Jin-kyung?!’
Although it is not as powerful as Jeongcheonjinkyung, which can create anything it wants as long as it has internal energy, the two combined powers allow Seongil to use a primitive form of reality manipulation, and the sight comes as a very refreshing shock to Seongil.
‘Is it possible to have three…?’
Encouraged by his previous success, Seong-il tries to combine all the powers of sensitivity, telekinesis, and time into one, just in case.
“Kuh…!!”
However, as soon as Seong-il tries that method, he feels a huge backlash. In particular, the power of each law somehow resists more fiercely than when the two powers are combined. As if that wasn’t enough, each law began to violently repulse and riot against each other as if they hated each other, and the power that was running rampant began to rush towards Seongil’s body with a bloody wave.
‘Damn it… I thought it would work out well because mixing two powers would be easy, but I didn’t have the courage.’
After achieving the 12th level of Heaven, Earth, Yin-Yang, and the Holy Art of Intercourse, enormous damage was piled up in an instant on his body, which had literally become the body of a diamond Buddha, and Seong-il vomited blood from the corner of his mouth and reprimanded himself for attempting an unreasonable experiment during the battle.
“This guy is falling! Strengthen the offensive!!”
Seeing Seong-il like that, the manager begins to attack him even more fiercely than before, perhaps under the illusion that Seong-il will eventually collapse under persistent attacks.
A blue flame that defies the laws of physics by combining the power of flame and telekinesis. A green chill filled with the terrible power of destruction. A black gravity that violently distorts the surroundings. A storm of abnormal power that can never be seen under the ordinary laws of physics begins to pound Seongil’s realm.
‘Do the damn thing.’
In response to the manager’s aggressive attacks, Seong-il opens his inventory with an annoyed expression, takes out the elixir he had been saving and pours a sip into his mouth.
“Whoa…”
Since he already has to hand over elixirs one by one here and there, each use feels very wasteful and precious, but when he loses that precious dose due to his arrogance, Seong-il feels his frustration rising to the brink.
‘I’d like to beat just one guy to death and run away…’
Now that Seong-il’s abilities have grown dramatically stronger, he can feel that if he fights with half-hearted intentions, he can overpower one or two managers and escape. However, his goal today was not to kill the administrator, but to buy time for the Eden Hunters to clear dungeons and secure civilians in each region, so Seong-il desperately suppressed his murderous intent and repeatedly dragged out time. .
“What…?! How did they recover from the injury in an instant?”
When Seongil’s defense shield, which was clearly starting to be half-broken, was restored to normal in an instant, an absurd comment came out from the mouth of a manager who had been banging on the defense shield for about 30 minutes.
“It looked like he was drinking something. I don’t think it was anything ordinary.”
“Hah…!! How could you hold on so arrogantly even though so many priests came… Did you just believe that and act so arrogantly?”
A female manager is momentarily surprised that her Seong-il is holding on after drinking her restorative medicine, but she soon laughs at her in a laughable tone and then goes on the offensive again.
“Judging from the way he drinks it, he drinks it with the attitude that it is extremely precious… I guess he stole our church’s treasures from somewhere.”
In fact, among the countless treasures possessed by the Transcendental Church, surprisingly, there was also a drug similar to elixir. The problem is that the Transcendental Church believed that if they used a secret treasure containing ancient knowledge, which they called the ‘Golden Rule’, AI would be able to read and track the cause and effect. Therefore, the Transcendental Church was extremely reluctant to ‘restore’ old objects using the Golden Rule. Although they had the knowledge to create great treasures, they only used items handed down from ancient times and did not carelessly use the knowledge of the Golden Rule to produce artifacts.
“You sound like a stolen ancient item.”
