Episode 140. No One Can Stand Against It
When it comes to putting together the Chronicles of the Invincible, this part is actually the most ambiguous.
No one in this world knows how old the Invincible One is.
So, when the Invincible One was captured as a slave by the Baekkan Alchemy Empire, the Invincible One was already a saint. A real saint at that. Not a fake great man, but the so-called Anraier.
But adults don’t age. They don’t naturally decline. The immortal man would have lived quite a long time, and it is said that he himself lived quite a long time until his children grew up and had children, and then had children.
But… … If you ask, “How old is that invincible person?” no one can answer.
The West. Not bordering the South Sea, nor the Eron that borders Dimanang and the sea, but the wide plains and forests of the northwest. The invincible one is from there.
The Invincible One was the leader of a confederation of pure-blooded Erin tribes known at the time as the ‘Barbarians’.
They seem to be able to use only metal, but they have no real mysteries, no learning, no writing, and although they know how to farm, they are truly savages who make more than half of their diet from hunting and gathering.
The invincible one was the most outstanding one in that barbarian tribe. When the invincible one became a new man and started to compile his own chronicles, he had no idea how old he was. And since there was no one in his tribe who had lived as long as the invincible one… … . He just roughly made up his age.
However, I can answer with certainty since I can see it from an omniscient perspective. The Invincible One was born around 1050 in the Legendary Era. To be specific, during the Age of Faith, when the Invincible One was captured, he was a little over 1750 years old.
Then, the question arises here. ‘Huh…? Then what did the invincible one do for 1750 years? In 1750, All Chaun created Mainnirun, and the best in the world eradicated human sacrifice in the East and created morality.’
According to his own testimony and my actual observations, the invincible ones specifically hunted dragons at that time. Powerful monsters too. And those that lived underground.
So they brought in jewels and monster meat to feed their tribesmen, and a pretty decent civilization was born.
However, it was too late. When the Mujeokja were just starting to build their civilization, the East had already changed dynasties several times, and the same goes for the civilization of the Nanyang. Was it better than the Ta-top tribe? Their civilization speed was not objectively slow, and in some ways it was even faster… … . It was too late.
The invincible one was a person who developed into a superhuman-adult naturally by achieving great feats as a warrior in a hunter-gatherer society and catching monsters, and there was a mysticism in the so-called ‘natural magic’ category.
One who twists nature with his own will and presides over the celestial rituals. You can think of him as a Druid. In Datang, the most similar ones are metalsmiths, and if you say spiritless spiritsmith, they are similar.
To be honest, the invincible man was neither weak nor incompetent. At the same time, he was not very smart, and frankly, he was not a very good leader.
However, he was a responsible and good leader. When the Baekkan Empire invaded the Erron region for slaves and attacked the ‘wild Erin’ to the north, he united all the wild Erin, who were divided into different tribes, and stood up to them.
And he loses. The only adult, the invincible one. He meets a tragic end. He overuses the mystery and natural magic that was building him up, and his ability itself is destroyed by a powerful force, losing his mystery.
An adult who has lost his strength but does not age. The invincible one has a very healthy body and is over 2 meters tall, which is much taller than Erin’s average height.
The invincible one was sold under the name of the best slave. Just in case, he was bound with magic tool shackles around his neck, and shackles on his wrists and arms. He was destined to spin the wheel in that state until he died, that is, forever.
Baekkan thought so, Erins thought so, even the Invincible One himself thought so. He was going to be a slave for the rest of his life. It was over now.
But history doesn’t turn that easily.
Snap! Snap!
The Baekkan guards treat the Erins harshly, whipping them as if it were their habit. The Erins spin this tool, which is of little use to them, all day long until they collapse from exhaustion.
I give them just enough to keep them from dying, and since their horsepower drops too low for them to be efficient, I feed them enough to allow them to work as efficiently as possible for as long as possible.
He had been working here for ten years already. He was under very strict surveillance because he was a leader and had once been powerful.
Those who brought him ‘food’ were limited to children, not adults. Erin children, because they could die if they were in a sack. Because even an invincible being would not kill his own kind.
Today, after working hard and being exhausted, a girl brings him food. She is not very pretty.
What good would being pretty be here? In the first place, Baekkan has no sexual interest in Erin.
In short, it’s meaningless to try to get attention based on looks. This kid probably won’t be able to do that anyway.
“Grandpa, I brought you some porridge.”
“… … .”
Is it because I lost my mystery? The three pillars that make up an adult. The will of the people, mystery, and celestial magic. Since I lost one of them, it’s inevitable that I’ll age a little.
But he’s not called a grandfather. The reason he’s called that is because he’s actually the oldest, and his hair and beard have all turned white.
The fact that he had a bald head is truly a mystery of life. He was completely in despair. When everything he had worked for was destroyed and his family, relatives, tribe, neighboring tribes, and entire clans were dragged away and made into slaves, he couldn’t help but despair.
Especially when you think about your own lifespan, and the thought that you will be tortured like this for eternity, for a truly eon, it is hard not to feel dispirited.
“Grandpa. You’re a very strong person, aren’t you?”
“That’s right.”
That means not now.
“Why did you become weak?”
“Because I was tricked by their magic.”
“Can you become strong again?”
“I don’t know.”
“I wish I could get stronger again. I heard Grandpa was incredibly strong. The Baekkan lords had to come and capture him… … . When Grandpa gets healthy, he’ll all be free.”
“go.”
“I’ll come again.”
He was completely despairing. Completely means that he logically accepted defeat. It wasn’t just emotionalism or sentimentality… … He really concluded that Erin’s abilities were no match for the invincible one.
And that was true. No matter what the savage Erin did, they could not defeat Baekkan. Baekkan’s civilization was nothing compared to theirs. Its culture, its population, its military power, its mystery, the number of the Forsaken. No matter what you count… … it seemed impossible for Erin to become independent from Baekkan.
But this girl doesn’t seem to know that. She just believes that she can escape this hard life. Like other people delusionally. If she doesn’t do that, she can’t stand it. She’s a smart girl, and that’s why she’s miserable.
“Grandpa. Are you feeling better today?”
“Grandpa, cheer up.”
“Grandpa, tell me a story from the old days. Were there monsters?”
At first, he didn’t say anything, but then he started telling stories he knew. It just felt good. And his slavery continued for another 10 years.
Now the girl is coming of age. It’s time to start turning the wheel. Or maybe have a baby.
And sadly, women are sent off to other assignments because they have better things to do than turn a cartwheel.
It’s a way to naturally increase the number of slaves. Just like with livestock breeding, you breed the most obedient and strong children to continue improving the breed. This practice is not old, but if you do it for a long time, you can get slaves of excellent breeds.
“… … .”
“It’s okay. Grandpa is handsome. He still looks young. And if we’re going to have another baby, it’d be better if it’s Grandpa’s baby.”
“… … .”
“I’m a little ugly, but… … .”
He sobbed. The world is so cruel. It’s sad that he’s being treated like a stallion, like real livestock, but it’s too much to treat someone who treated him like a human being so cruelly.
She is able to have children, but she is at an age where she should not have children.
And the girl dies giving birth to his child.
This happens a lot to Erin. Compared to other races, there are many cases where mothers die while giving birth. The reason is unknown, but… … The child is too small, and the father, who is obviously the father, is too big, so the child must have grown too. That’s why they die while giving birth.
He could bear it, even if it meant crying.
“Damn it. What should I do if she died while giving birth?”
“Just throw it to the pigs.”
I can’t stand this. He slowly stands up, chained all over his body.
“In the world, only apes have ‘racial abilities.’ Daton’s high affinity for spirits, Erin’s high endurance, Borin’s intelligence, etc. What are these things that are developed by consuming magical power?”
“I have discovered through years of research that this is part of the ‘divine power’. The apes that started from the continent of Olsozora and spread throughout the world were evolved by the gods. However, there are no primordial gods on the continent of Olsozora.”
“That is, the primordial god entered the bodies of apes and became their mystery. In other words, all apes are innate mystery bearers. The divine self is extremely rare.”
“We have proven that the apes are able to create powerful memes compared to other species, the so-called demon race, and that their ability to twist the world with their will also comes from their ‘species ability’.”
“If there were no racial abilities at all, the magical power in a creature would be another simple and powerful mystery. It’s Qi. It’s life force. It’s the Qi we talk about in martial arts. Martial arts are techniques that consciously fuse magical power and Qi.”
“In short, Tattoonang Marechi. It is presumed that even the Mainiran, who could not use any mysticism in the past, lost their racial abilities due to a physical problem and were only able to accumulate energy.”
“And… … . If for some reason you have lost all of your mysteries, you can obtain the mysteries of this original creature. Of course, even then, the lifespan of a creature is not that long, so you can’t accumulate them for long. If you originally possess a high rank and live a long life, the results are a little different. A typical example of this is… … .”
“Grandpa, I’m not very confident.”
“okay.”
“No, don’t be like that. Be confident. No one can stop me. I can beat anyone. Think like that.”
“Okay… … . There are some things you can’t win against.”
“Follow me. I am invincible!”
In the end, he didn’t answer that question. But maybe it would have been better if he had. If he was going to do something this stupid.
“Uh. Uh. Uh. What are you? Why are you coming to me?”
“… … .”
“What’s wrong with those chains? Don’t you know there’s a bomb attached to them? This kid… … .”
“……am.”
“Blow it up now! The adults are trying to rebel!”
pop!
But, there is not a single scratch on it.
The magical power that had been accumulated while turning the wheel. Since it was an ancient technology, the magical power had leaked into the surroundings. His body had sucked it up.
The body that had completely lost its mystery became stronger day by day. Just like the child had hoped. Even if it was not the original… … .
In despair, the great elephant, which could not even pull up the small stake, now found its own strength.
“You. What are you?”
He roars as he tears the chains apart with force.
“I!!! am invincible!!!”
He single-handedly destroys the entire Baekhan army stationed at the Donum Mining Site, and shouts:
“I am invincible! Erin is invincible! We will never be slaves!”
“Ugh… … .”
“What are you guys doing? Follow me! I’m invincible! Invincible! Invincible!”
“Invincible… Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!”
A new person who calls himself invincible. It was the birth of an invincible person.
The rebellion has now begun. No one can stop it now.
