Episode 179
Kuung!
Lee Hyun’s spear and my Mjolnir collided.
“Ugh!”
Is it because of the lightning effect?
Lee Hyeon, who had single-handedly overwhelmed numerous gods, began to give in to me.
I persistently chased after Lee Hyeon, who was being pushed back by the force.
“You’ve become much stronger than I thought.”
Lee Hyeon stepped back and looked at me and said.
“Didn’t you send those two even though you knew how I would become stronger? Didn’t you know I would become this strong?”
“… … .”
The guy didn’t bother to answer me.
Rather, he just swings his spear silently.
Lightning struck and light spread.
Hwaaaat!
“Ugh!”
“Cough!”
Neither Nana nor Lee Hyun had any momentum or dominance over either side.
It’s literally a close match.
It was a series of desperate attacks aimed at taking each other’s lives.
Lee Hyun’s spear swept across my chest, and my hammer struck the guy’s forearm.
It wasn’t a fatal blow to either of them.
Because both Nana and Lee Hyun had ways to withstand each other’s attacks.
“also….”
The corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth went up as he saw the wound on his arm.
I thought as I watched Lee Hyeon take a step back.
‘It’s more doable than I thought.’
But something was strange.
The fact that the fight became even after using ‘Lightning’ means that before that, Lee Hyun had plenty of opportunities to kill me.
But why didn’t Lee Hyeon kill me?
Despite the pressure he was putting on, Lee Hyun’s attacks felt somewhat lackluster.
Should we say that there was no decisive blow?
Are you looking at me on purpose?
If not, are there any restrictions?
It wouldn’t be strange if there were limitations, since they haven’t yet fully accepted the power of the Creator.
perhaps.
‘Did you try to completely absorb the power of the Creator through fighting from the beginning?’
It makes sense that combat is one way to fully embrace the power of the Creator.
It would be easy to defeat me by cooperating with the Lords, but then the battle would end in a bland manner.
While defeating our gods, you are fighting against me who has become stronger by sacrificing the gods.
It’s killing two birds with one stone for Lee Hyeon, as he can deal with the thorn in his eye, the gods, and also get closer to the power of the creator god.
Of course, nothing could be certain.
The fight continued.
Boom!
Kuung!
Kookookookook!
Every time my weapons and Lee Hyun’s weapons clashed, a huge vibration echoed throughout the Abyss.
It was so strong that not only I, who was facing it, but everyone else there was shaking.
As the strong wave of force spread, groans were heard here and there.
The healthy people, including Lee Su-yeon, were busy taking the injured people who had not yet been killed by Lee Hyeon out of the Abyss.
“Hoo, hoo.”
Lee Hyun was a more difficult opponent than anyone he had ever fought before.
He did not fight alone for his own greed like Ra, he was not arrogant and intoxicated with his own power like Zeus, and he did not specialize in only one ability like Odin.
Not only is he gifted with a natural fighting sense, but he is also able to utilize his abilities in various ways, and the overwhelming feeling he gets when swinging a spear that is so large.
Phew!
“Crunch!”
Lee Hyun’s window passed by before my eyes.
There was a loud bang ripping through the air, and the aftershock left a sharp gash on my cheek.
“Crunch!”
I poked Il-chul into the gap created by Lee Hyeon while he was avoiding my attack.
Phew!
“Kwaaak!”
The sharp blade dug into the flesh.
‘Shallow.’
Aimed straight at the heart.
However, the sword went in much shallower than I had expected due to the solid full plate armor he was wearing and the unprecedented strength protecting his body.
There was blood, but that was it.
It wasn’t a fatal wound.
Lee Hyeon screamed once and took a big step back.
He quickly distanced himself and examined the stab wound.
“also….”
His gaze turned to me again.
“Hoooo.”
Lee Hyun took a deep breath.
His expression gradually became calm as he exhaled calmly.
“As expected, I can’t beat you as I am now.”
“what?”
“It’s much stronger than I thought. Is this the power of Kim Do-jin who ate the fake gods?”
“… … .”
At that moment, I was bewildered by Lee Hyeon’s sudden loss of will.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The entire Abyss began to vibrate with great force.
“Ah, the time has finally come.”
“You… what did you do?”
“Ah, I didn’t know that. What kind of Abyss is this we’re in now?”
Lee Hyun said, twisting his lips.
“God said, ‘If you fight here, there will be light.’”
Light leaked out from Lee Hyun’s body, who had spread his arms.
The light instantly healed Lee Hyun’s wounds from his fight with me.
Lee Hyeon’s body, which had been completely healed in an instant, continued to be enveloped in light.
“Dojin, I am grateful to you. Thanks to you, I was able to attain true enlightenment. There is absolutely no reason to look upon the fake gods who are full of masks.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m trying to move on to a new level.”
“what?”
The corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth went up.
“Kill the false gods and offer their blood as sacrifices, then shake this Abyss with the clash of two powerful forces. Then true blessings will surround you.”
“… … .”
A strange power surged from Lee Hyeon’s body as he began to recite with mad eyes.
“you….”
“You seem surprised.”
It was a different power than what I felt in my previous life.
A power that seemed to be full of impurities, rather than the pure power of the Creator, swept through Lee Hyeon.
“Are you out of your mind? You want to become the god of the Abyss?”
“Yes. Since the method to save everyone has disappeared, we must use a method that can save at least me and the Creator.”
no way.
“Was the reason you fought me to gather that energy?”
“You understand quickly. You definitely understand quickly.”
I bit my lip.
A wave of energy created when my power and Lee Hyun’s power collided.
That’s exactly what Lee Hyeon was aiming for.
Since you can’t kill me in one go, you’re going to use my power.
I thought I had seen this technique a lot.
“…you did it my way.”
“It was pretty good. Even if they’re enemies, you have to learn from good things.”
I didn’t think Lee Hyun would use my method.
Rather, it was excluded altogether.
Well, Lee Hyun preferred to tackle any situation head-on.
It was impossible for Lee Hyun to use his opponent’s power.
‘I guess that means you’re under that much pressure.’
I held the sunrise and Mjolnir and ran before Lee Hyun could do anything.
however.
[The duration of the lightning strike has ended.]
shit.
The lightning that had filled my body began to drain away.
If only the duration was just one second longer.
‘I could have cut off his neck.’
The sword suddenly lost speed and could not reach Lee Hyeon’s neck.
I quickly blocked Lee Hyun’s spear aimed at my side with Mjolnir.
Krrrr!
Lightning struck.
And because of that delayed timing.
“It was my last chance, but it’s too bad.”
Split the black void.
“Fuck.”
The power of the Abyss gathered around Lee Hyeon, who stepped back.
“We will see each other again soon. To finish our stories.”
Lee Hyun’s voice was full of confidence as he spoke.
As if it was fate that we would meet again.
“You want to mingle with the Abyss to defeat me? Is that what your god wants?”
“Yes. Because he said it himself.”
“…Why are you so sure?”
“That is what faith is.”
As the bastard continued to speak, the light of the Abyss grew stronger and stronger.
To block that light, I cast a 9th level spell with the magical eye I got from Odin.
[Level 9 Abnormal Status Magic: Release]
It was no use.
It’s a natural phenomenon, not magic.
“It’s no use. You can’t stop something that’s already been started. Well, that’s all for now. See you next time.”
Lee Hyun snapped his fingers, and at that moment the Abyss contracted.
At the same time.
Pfft!
“Ugh!”
I was thrown out of the abyss.
“Dojin-ah!”
“Mr. Dojin!”
Jang Man-cheol caught me as I was thrown out of the Abyss.
As we went outside, we came into view of the Abyss, twisted and glowing with ominous colors.
It glowed ominously, an eerie color between purple and blue.
The entrance to the swirling abyss was covered with an unknown layer of curtain, preventing anyone from approaching.
Has anything like this ever happened?
It was the first time.
The Abyss has never once closed its own entrance.
“Suyeon, what was the name of this Abyss?”
“The Abyss of Justice.”
“… … .”
As expected, there was no information at all.
“When did the Abyss come into existence?”
“Nothing has been revealed. There are observation records that say it has existed since long ago, but no one has ever conquered the Abyss, and no one has even been interested in it…”
Maybe even all of that data is fabricated.
“I wasn’t careful.”
I was so focused on going to rescue Athena and Hades that I didn’t check it out in advance.
I don’t know what’s going on inside, but….
Woohoo!
The Abyss, with its eerie glow and beastly howls, was enough to terrify everyone.
Prometheus heard that a fight had broken out and came running in a hurry.
“What happened?”
“Odin and Zeus are dead. There are still gods left to sort out, but since the main gods who led the power are all dead, there will be no major resistance going forward.”
“Lee Hyeon-eun?”
I pointed to the Abyss.
“Is Lee Hyeon in there?”
“Yes.”
“Heh heh.”
“Do you know anything?”
Prometheus shook his head.
“I don’t know. I haven’t known this guy named Lee Hyeon for very long.”
That was when.
“I can tell you that.”
Hades, who had come to his senses, got up with his wounded body and intervened.
“I can guess what Lee Hyeon is after.”
“What is it?”
Hades’ eyes were fixed on Promise, who lay motionless on the ground.
“Before you came, Lee Hyun took the essence from Promise’s chest.”
“Is it possible that the promise is not happening…?”
“Yes. I think he is trying to use Promise to make the Abyss his own.”
“The Abyss is yours…?”
Suddenly, I remembered that Promise was the master of the Abyss and a god from another world who was reborn during the rampage.
Lee Hyun wanted to use the essence of that promise to become the center of the Abyss.
“So, Lee Hyeon wants to become a god of the other world?”
“I don’t know about that. But he said he would make the Abyss his own.”
“… … .”
If Lee Hyun isn’t trying to become a god of the other world through the Abyss…
‘Maybe I’m trying to create a body that can fully receive the power of the Creator.’
When the God of Creation fully descends, there will be no one who can defeat him.
and.
‘Lee Hyeon will be able to achieve the utopia he desires.’
It means that a true god has descended into this world, and a new human race has leaped forward in a new direction.
“Can you stop it?”
I pointed to the Abyss and asked.
“I don’t know. This is my first time doing something like this.”
The answer came from Prometheus.
“That means….”
“You can’t stop Lee Hyeon, who’s already inside.”
“In the end, it will be important to figure out how to stop Lee Hyeon from coming out.”
“yes.”
All eyes were on me.
“Is there a way?”
“… … .”
A way to stop Lee Hyeon.
