How to Live Immortally Episode 256
256 Deep sea, space, volcanoes, glaciers
“You dare judge me?”
The growling consultant’s spirits were rising. He had long been obsessed with life, and he was not one to give in to mere half-baked threats.
He quickly cuts off my trembling arm and throws it away.
The moment Gaon stops in shock at the shocking sight, the flying chunk of flesh suddenly explodes.
Boom!
Each piece of flesh scattered in all directions is no different from a high-powered explosive, creating a huge detonation wave that burns the surrounding area.
Ability, physical explosion.
The ability to sacrifice a part of the body to cause an explosion. Normally, it could only be controlled with hair or fingernails, but the consultant willingly offered one of his limbs in an unconventional way.
It may seem like nothing more than an act of suicide, but it is different when combined with immortality.
Because you can regenerate the missing part at any time.
Although his skin was tanned black from the heat, Gaon just stared indifferently at the consultant’s arm that was quickly rising.
“It recovers only after it bursts, not immediately after it’s cut. I guess you can only use one of your abilities at a time.”
“Finding out won’t change anything.”
The consultant’s talents weren’t limited to just physical strength.
When wounded, it spits out poisonous blood, and when it gets close, it shoots sound waves.
They were all abilities that were good enough to share with others, but were ambiguous enough to use for oneself, and they all seemed to be missing screws.
However, Gaon’s judgment changed only after the single-molecule blade was torn in half without warning.
It was a hidden secret that the consultant had been keeping―
“corrosion?”
“Your secret weapon is adiabatic compression by ultra-high-speed rotation. It is certainly powerful, but what if you lose your sword? It would be unsuitable for unleashing with bare hands in many ways.”
“You even saw through that?”
Even at this moment, the spread out flower was slowly eating away at the consultant’s entire body, but that wasn’t enough. Every time he tried to gain the upper hand, the shield sword blocked it. Furthermore, since the sword body had shrunk, he had no choice but to close the distance.
A situation where one cannot avoid a war of attrition even if one wants to.
“Didn’t I tell you, nothing will change?”
A sharp pain that he could never get used to lingered in his mind, but this was the reason why the consultant could smile.
99 times, even if I fell 999 times, I only had to get up one last time.
An overwhelmingly advantageous situation.
“Don’t you miss it? It’s your favorite tactic.”
The reason Gaon, who caused the Millennium Code Gate, was able to escape the city government’s pursuit was not only because he was competent, but also because he was able to keep challenging until he succeeded.
There is a precedent, so why can’t you say it yourself?
The hope that supported the consultants was strong and realistic.
“You’re saying that I have to destroy with my own hands what I’ve achieved.”
Gaon, who realized that he could not subdue the consultant like this, took the case out of his bosom and injected the syringe inside into his neck.
21,001st temporary composite.
The sum total of genetic engineering technologies that originated from supernatural powers.
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
Pushik―.
The moment you take the drug, your body races toward the realm your mind has achieved. The most ideal body, and moving beyond it, takes just a moment.
One, your body disintegrates before you can even take a step.
A master of manipulation beyond the gene pool.
It wasn’t that I tried to do it blindly, saying it was Gaon.
The 21,001st temporary synthetic is based on the mechanism of transformation. It was a drug reverse-engineered from the genetic factors left behind by the supernatural being.
In other words, it means that ‘that genetic factor’ is real.
Although he was not good enough to become a supernatural being, Gaon understood the power inherent in the soul through Arahan. To the extent that he could temporarily perform miracles that were not his own.
If you want to change, you need the target’s blood, but the condition has already been met.
Isn’t it right here?
A true body filled with genetic factors that have been transformed while growing up with immortality.
‘It changes.’
By yourself.
Back to myself when I was at my strongest.
The skin that was once dark and tanned regains its color, and the sagging flesh is filled in. The organs of the body that had entered middle age regress, and the person returns to a state that is appropriate for their age.
“you…….”
“Did you become immortal?”
No way.
The limitation of transformation was that only external elements could be reproduced. Just as the consultant’s transference originated from robbery rather than replication, it was impossible to perfectly replicate the ability.
Therefore, the forcibly spread transfer could not be exactly the same as the original. However, just because it is fake does not mean it is inferior.
“Immortal life, that would be something like that.”
Phew, the steam mixes with the breath I exhale, and energy flows through my arms.
Gaon, who was running at a speed that seemed to tear the atmosphere apart, swung his single-molecule blade that only had half of its remaining power.
-So strong that I dare not replace the ability.
―So fast that you won’t dare to use tricks.
―So elaborate that no one dares even think of following it.
The burning flame on the shield sword emits a redder light and adds heat.
The moment the hundreds and thousands of sword strikes overlapped, a crack appeared at the tip of the shield sword.
Even though Hexagon Dice is a metal that is close to being universal, since it is a material that needs to be refined, it is bound to be vulnerable to high temperatures.
What’s more, with the help of a great force, there’s no way I could endure it.
It was at that moment that liquid metal flowed out through the cut section. The sub-arm who was swinging the magic sword gave up the shield sword and tried to grab Gaon’s head, but―
“Where.”
It was just cut off in vain.
Gaon, who was facing the disarmed consultant, straightened his single-molecule blade. The consultant, who could clearly see the future that would follow, stepped back while constantly waving both arms.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“I’m telling you in advance, don’t beg.”
A red flash of light that far surpasses the speed of regeneration adorns the air. It is inevitable that countless chunks of meat will fall to the ground along its trajectory.
He becomes a butcher who slaughters animals and thoroughly dismantles consultants.
The situations that Gaon has been most concerned and wary of over the past three hundred years are four.
“The deep sea, space, volcanoes, glaciers. Do you see what they have in common?”
I asked the consultant, who was half-conscious and frothed over the pain he could tolerate, but there was no answer.
Gaon didn’t ask because he wanted to know.
However, it is only intended to enlighten you.
“It’s a place where once you enter, you can never come out. But now there’s one more thing added: my palm.”
The consultants are torn apart by the torrent of swift blows. They look no different from paper that has been shredded in a shredder, and are often torn to shreds.
“Stop it, stop it!”
The consultant was crying desperately as he kept playing the game, but the swordsmanship showed no signs of stopping.
“There must be something else to say?”
“… … Hehe. I can’t give you any special abilities.”
A tangled web of black energy cuts the consultant’s entire body into pieces. Over and over again, until he is reduced to cube steak.
“Stop it, stop it!”
“I will give you a pain that you cannot go crazy about even if you want to.”
In terms of experience, Gaon was my senior. He knew how to torture the immortal efficiently.
“I’ll prepare a facility just for you as soon as I get back. I’ll drop you in a sulfuric acid lake so you can’t grow below your neck, and I’ll insert electrodes into your scalp to stimulate you every second.”
The so-called ‘brain in a vat’ was something that was meant to become a reality.
“When you have accumulated know-how, I will reveal your face skin and show you only your skull. And that skin will replace one meal for you. Let’s see how long you can last. 50 years? 100 years? I will wait for you personally.”
At that moment, clear water flowed down the consultant’s eyes. His smart mind had already guessed what kind of result awaited him just by those words.
The consultant’s will was broken by the thought that if he made a mistake, he would never be able to escape Gaon’s hands.
Could such a hell be more valuable than eternal life?
“At the point when you were a prey and dreamed of being a predator, you couldn’t help but lose.”
“Don’t talk like you’ve figured it out, you thieving bastard.”
“Yes, you won. I guess I couldn’t be the true master.”
The declaration of defeat did not end with just words. The moment the consultant finished regenerating, I could feel the energy filling up inside me.
‘This easy?’
The moment a question arises reflexively, the consultant explodes.
Manifestation of abilities and physical strength.
In addition, the mountain of corpses that had piled up away from him also resonated and erupted.
Power comparable to that of a cluster bomb.
Gaon was exposed to a firepower that could easily burn down a village, but he avoided serious injury. In an instant, the flames that rose up like karma engulfed him in flames and he collapsed.
Now that he had regained his immortality, the consultant’s tantrums seemed ridiculous.
I wonder if they wanted to imitate a surprise box.
‘Was this the reason you returned it cleanly and without making a mess?’
Of course, it was still questionable. He knew best that he would not die no matter what damage he took. But the doubts were short-lived, and the consultant’s plan was soon revealed.
“I saw something interesting.”
“… … ?!”
There was only one person who could approach Gaon’s senses from the supply ship. A member of the Mars Defense Forces of the Punishment Unit. Her name was,
“Alice.”
From the consultant’s perspective, it must have been visible. So what the guy was aiming for was―
“The mafia you brought is more capable than I thought. Thanks to that, we were able to secure the blobsieve quickly. So I came here to help while I had time, but I saw something I never expected.”
Even though she speaks leisurely, she doesn’t forget to activate her Energetic Blaster. Why not, the person in front of her is a public figure designated by the city government.
“A swordsmanship that seems divine, and indescribable regenerative powers. There is only one person like him. Throw down your weapon and surrender.”
Alice opened her mouth, holding out her palm and aiming it at Gaon.
“… … Your Majesty the Sword Demon.”
It’s a gift left by the consultant.
He passed on his favor to the next runner. To the runner with both a solid motive and ability.

Using the central pillar as a reference point, Justin and Vincent clash. The trajectories of the two people, who stab each other with their fingers like awls, are interlocked without a single inch of error.
In an instant, a loud noise erupts as the stops collide.
It’s literally the 100th century.
Justin, who was a size larger than his weight class, had the upper hand in terms of power, but Vincent made up for it with technique.
“Even though your body has grown, your sword skills haven’t changed. How on earth did you correct it?”
“The person who helped me was really amazing.”
Of course. He was the one who cut down the Set Colony with a single sword. In order not to tarnish Gaon’s goodwill, he could never give up this match.
