Basement 1, training room.
Sit cross-legged in the center and meditate.
The moment the principle of the Arhat, who was reborn as an Arahan, is refined, the mandala spreads out with Gaon at its center.
The chemical reactions occurring in the microscopic world are engraved in the mind on their own. It is natural to feel the magnetic fluctuations beyond the flow of the atmosphere.
First, since it is not an area that can be intuitively understood by the human mind, it can only be vaguely grasped by the five senses that have become synesthetic.
It’s exciting to think that the performance of cutting-edge devices can be realized by human hands, but it’s not something you can literally feel, but something you can interfere with.
Still, there were some results.
Because it was now possible to resist weapons that ignored conventional gunpowder propulsion.
For example, railguns or particle cannons.
Weapon systems with extremely small projectiles or energy itself were a threat to modern-day prosecutors.
No matter how good your reflexes are, it’s still a long way to go to surpass instantaneous speed.
But with ‘Mandala’, I could handle it.
Didn’t you realize that in your last request?
I avoided the palace and blocked the destroyer.
but-
‘It’s not enough.’
The principle that Arahan governed was circulation. In other words, it was all about studying rotation. It did not go well with Mandala. Although he made up for the lack of a group with the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes that accelerated his thinking, it was only clumsy.
Evidence that there are still some shortcomings.
You shouldn’t be proud. It was just the blood and sweat shed over the past three hundred years that had exploded through the medium of martial arts.
He was a skilled warrior who would have been a great opponent to Wang Hoon-soo, the master of the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, if he had not let his guard down.
Perhaps there was an ambassador who surpassed Gaon in terms of output. In reality, he had only been practicing martial arts for five months, or rather, only about a week.
This is the period of time when the source of one’s abilities, the power inherent in the soul, is raised – to put it simply, spiritual power.
It was a profound realm that I would never have been able to reach if the consultant had not taken away my immortality.
So what I said was the output.
The more I breathed correctly, the more I could clearly feel the vitality in my whole body increasing. This was only a week. Will it be a year, ten years, no―
‘How strong will those who have repeated this for 50 years be?’
The spiritual power was close to infinite. Of course, using martial arts doesn’t make you a god. It’s just that through self-discipline, you can increase the range of spiritual power that your body can accept.
But that alone was enough to make him a superhuman.
An ability that can be gained simply by focusing on the possibilities that lie within you.
Maybe that’s why the more I dig into it, the more questions I have.
How on earth can humans wield such power?
Is this a possibility that humans have already harbored?
or not-
‘It might have something to do with the Second’s contact with humanity.’

“Welcome, master.”
Gaon, who entered Columbus with the usual hospitality from Juicy, went straight to Fernandez to seek help from him, an information dealer rather than a broker.
“knife?”
“Yes, I would like you to introduce me to a workshop where I can custom order items rather than having them made in a factory mold.”
“Even though this is a bar, this isn’t a 16th century tavern. And you want to hire a blacksmith? I don’t know where to start.”
“I bet the brokerage fee you received from Mr. Balloon was quite a lot to complain about?”
“If you put it that way, I don’t think I can handle it. Just wait and see. I’ll investigate.”
Fernandez’s pupils were moving violently. It seemed as if he was contacting his connections.
Gaon, who was savoring a vodka martini, quietly put down his glass at the gaze that stabbed the back of his head. It was the attention he had not received when he was a fighting dog. It was also a sign that he had become one step closer to the big shot.
“I guess the rumor has spread.”
“I was going to ask you that anyway. Is it true? That you dealt with the FD shield alone?”
Back alleys are a place where false news runs rampant, but the rumors that have been spreading these days are on a different level. The headquarters of FD Shielder has been sunk by a disaster. Many bodies are still being found inside, so it is impossible not to know what kind of incident has occurred.
“Hey, you shouldn’t say things like that. You were the one who gave me the information about FD Shielder. You fought hard for your share as well.”
“I can’t believe it at all.”
Fernandez is not underestimating Gaon’s skills.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is probably the industry’s most objective view of the reality.
So, even though I was worried when it collided with the FD Shielder, I didn’t stop it. Maybe because I thought it could be on par with the Numbers Kirin Kak.
I never thought they would bury that company all at once.
“I wonder if I’m still dreaming. Is there a colleague I don’t know about?”
Fernandez’s question was valid. If the group collapsed, it would be reasonable to assume that another group was involved. But―
“I did it by myself.”
“Perhaps, you could be the first of the troubleshooters who signed a contract with me to become Numbers.”
“You defeated the existing Numbers, but it looks like the Numbers won’t work?”
“First of all, I’m in a position where I’m half in doubt.”
“but.”
Numbers is an honorable title that only those who are recognized in various fields can have. Perhaps, those who know Gaon’s identity may have mistakenly thought that Baekdu had stepped forward. Because FD Shielder tried to kill the owner’s family of Megacorp for an unreasonable reason.
“No, most likely that’s what they thought.”
“what?”
“It’s nothing.”
thud!
In an instant, the entrance to Columbus twists. A huge shadow appears through the half-bent doorway.
The startled Juicy stepped back almost at the same time as the opponent came rushing in.
A cyborg nearly 4 meters tall enters, followed by an armed gang.
“I heard there’s a hawk here. Who’s the hawk?”
As everyone’s gaze turned to Gaon, the cyborg walked confidently in front of him as if he were a triumphant general and stopped.
“You’re a hawk?”
“I’ve heard it called a fighting dog, but I’m not sure about a fighting spirit.”
“You didn’t even know your nickname had changed? You’re a more stupid brat than I thought.”
The taunts of those who followed the cyborg echo throughout Columbus.
It was then that the cyborg’s gigantic body, looking down at Gaon, blocked Columbus’ light.
“You beat Kirin-gak? You look weak, with only bones?”
“You know that this industry is dying out because of the people who are fooled by appearances.”
“You speak plausibly.”
“So what’s your business? I don’t think you came here to conduct an ideological investigation.”
“I’m going to kill you and take away your reputation.”
“wow.”
There is no limit to the information that can be circulated, but there is a limit to the human mind that can accept it. Who would admit that they took down a large corporation on their own?
So I assumed that Gaon would soon run into a group of distrustful people. But I didn’t expect them to come out so soon. To be honest, it was unexpected.
“It’s said that you destroyed the FD Shield, but no one has actually seen it. I don’t know what kind of magic you used to get to that point, but it’s not interesting.”
What’s interesting is―
“If I can defeat someone like you, you will become food for me.”
“What’s your name?”
“Psyche is a man who will reach the top someday.”
Dense alloy armor covering the entire body, acceleration boosters attached to the joints, and lumpy limbs that seem to contain large-caliber firearms.
It was the height of bio-modification, with vital points erased and human parts eliminated.
“indeed.”
Even though he was a cyborg, he was talented just because he didn’t go crazy and had a clear sense of self.
Sensors, not eyes,
Non-muscle fibers,
Gloves, not skin,
Slots, not long-term
High suitability means that you can face yourself as if you were not human. That means that your personality itself is extremely objective and rational.
It is an extension of this that they tried to become stronger through cybernetic surgery rather than genetic manipulation.
Unlike other procedures that are limited to the gene pool, bioengineering has no limits.
To develop gradually with the times.
Even without much effort, scholars from all over the world work day and night to expand the boundaries of science.
The increased weight class thus allows for a larger muzzle, and the explosive firepower emitted from that larger muzzle is explosive.
Firepower is power,
Force is power―
Psyk, who was able to equip most modern firearms, trusted in his own skills. He trusted in the civilization of the 24th century.
Without saying a word, open your forearm,
“Get behind.”
That’s why I fired a grenade at close range. The conversation just now was just a device to make you let your guard down.
Kururung.
The axis of Columbus shakes and the old dust is released. The guests, unable to bear the sudden rise of smoke and dust, groaned loudly but did not complain.
It was only after the explosion that we realized just now how dangerous Psyke was. We could guess that he fired the grenade by looking at its power, but no one knew when he took it out and when he extended his arm.
“Even if you say you fought the FD shield or defeated the Kirin Tower, the reality is something like this.”
Just before the dust cloud clears, a hand shoots out from between them and grabs his forearm. There is a strange noise and a palm print appears on his glove. Psyche tries to quickly pull back, but what the heck— thud.
It was completely torn off all the way to the shoulder.
“Fuck, what kind of evil force… … .”
He extended his other arm and fired a second grenade, but the grenade that was supposed to go forward suddenly went up to the ceiling.
The result was as if I was possessed by a ghost.
“You aimed for the heart. I’ll give it back.”
The moment my index fingertips touched my chest, my insides began to swirl. For a moment, the gloves and wires were squeezed in one direction as if they were laundry.
Psyche was trying to continue the close combat by igniting the booster at the joints before the twisted generator stopped, but Gaon was not one to allow such luck.
From the beginning, the defeat of Psyche, who entered the scope of Mandala without fear, was decided from the beginning―
“You will be a great counter-teacher.”
A giant body falls down at Gaon’s fingertips.
Just 10 seconds.
It was the time it took for the Psyche to die. Those who witnessed the birth of a new divinity with their own eyes were speechless.
It was then that Gaon’s gaze turned to Syke’s subordinates.
“Take this piece of trash out.”
“Yes, yes. I understand.”
Even though it was a lump of iron that must have weighed several tons, they dragged it out tenaciously. Only the marks carved into the floor were the only indication of the psychic’s whereabouts.
