Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 261

261 – Contradiction (9)

Contradiction is a case of a person turning into a monster.

Like most monsters, he also has no recollection of his human days.

It should have been so.

‘What is it?’

The moment I saw Han Jaejoong’s transformation, my consciousness flew away for a very short period of time. The consciousness that was blown away like that was all bleak and insignificant scenes, like faded pieces of paper.

I saw a person.

It was a memory from when I was human.

Those moments flowed in quickly like flashes of light.

‘…Lighthead?’

The trajectory of life that emerges in the face of death.

However, contradiction is not facing death now. What was in front of me was not immediate death, but an enemy.

Contradiction soon noticed that he was retreating.

Not a move to move forward, but an instinctive contraction. It was almost like hesitating.

‘Are you saying I feel death from him…?’

Was it because he was infinitely close to his own death that he read The Magic Light?

‘why?’

From the time I became a monster until today, I have gone through countless struggles.

Scorpion or lion. He was not afraid even when facing such dangerous galactic beasts.

I didn’t feel any fear from the Hound, who was stronger than any enemy I had ever fought before.

No matter what enemy I faced, there was never one that made me feel like I was going to die.

But now, why do I feel death in him who has only just completed his transformation?

“You can’t say you’re the weakest like that, right?”

“Of course not.”

There is no need to be afraid in the first place. Contradiction transcended its limits with a fight with a lion. There is no power in this universe that he cannot copy.

“Then, I guess there’s no reason not to use my abilities too.”

No matter what ability you have, all you have to do is copy that power and find out. Contradiction stretched out his hand, his eyes shining.

And, I noticed.

“aha….”

This person is his natural enemy.

“Your power cannot be copied.”

Immediately after finishing speaking, he came running.

Raising fists instead of spears, to achieve victory.

A completely different composition from just now.

But one thing has changed.

Jaejoong Han was able to follow the movement of contradiction, and contradiction was impossible.

As soon as the Watcher was out of sight, a fist came flying from a blind spot. The fist hit Contrary on the chin without the slightest consideration.

Wow! I could hear a tingling sound just by listening to it.

When he actually got hit with a fist, he didn’t feel any pain. Have my senses become dull or have I not yet grasped reality?

After flying for a while, my back hit a large rock and I fell to the ground.

There was no scream, so I checked the body and found that the jaw that had been hit had fallen and was shaking.

“her….”

A sound like the deflated blood phlegm of an animal came out of my throat.

‘Abilities cannot be copied. Why? Does he have special powers like a lion? No, I don’t feel that kind of power from him.’

It’s not something special. To him, it is nothing more than an infinitely general thing. There is no need for special mechanisms such as the ability to prevent interference.

“I am….”

Contradiction, whose chin had recovered before he knew it, muttered.

“I can have all the power in this universe in my hands.”

Belatedly, I stood up and clenched my fists as the pain spread through my body.

Along with the pain, anger caused by regret spread throughout my body.

Why haven’t I tried it until now? There were several opportunities to discover the power Han Jaejoong wielded. However, the amount was so small that there was no need to check.

“So that’s it. That’s why I couldn’t imitate you.”

If I had known, I wouldn’t have fought.

“Your power is not of this world, but of an alien world. Is that correct?”

His power is not within this universe.

A new world built independently, drawing power from within it.

The power of the stars he deals with may seem like the stars of this universe at first glance, but in the end, they are just different stars.

The materials are different and the laws are different. So the method of application is also different.

The contradiction principle is ultimately just a law in this world.

Therefore, things from other worlds cannot be copied.

“There is nothing closer to me than this… Yes, you are right. “If we have to be honest, this power is extraterrestrial.”

“her….”

When the Watcher cheerfully affirmed, Contradiction laughed.

“Then, no matter how strong you are, aren’t you going further away from my goal?…”

“That’s what I said.”

He took a step forward.

“The content of the fight will change.”

Prove that you can overcome the weakest and wield the strongest power.

That fight wasn’t the only thing he declared to change.

A fight between the strongest and the strongest.

A collision of two equal forces.

A balanced battle.

I had to change the principles that I had always hoped for and had always assumed.

“This… is a bit difficult.”

Contradiction laughed. The Watcher had disappeared from sight.

Bah! A kick landed in the back of his head. Contradiction’s head separated from its body and flew high into the sky.

The head, which spun in the sky like a ball, fell to the ground, and the body that lost its balance collapsed.

‘Isn’t this really too much?’

I tried to say that, but because I lost my vocal cords, all I could do was open my mouth.

“You’re quite a man.”

[Isn’t that what you want to say? A child who has lost his heart and is living shamelessly. Do you know how hard it was to fill that in?]

Virgo responded to the Watcher’s mutterings. It was a voice that seemed extremely resentful, perhaps due to a lot of resentment.

‘It wasn’t a good place to have drinks, but it looks like you were able to do it.’

[Compare my abilities to that kind of monster?! I am a genius magical girl with the strongest healing ability! If you have a soul, you can create a body!]

‘Yeah, that’s great. Since you’re introducing me as a magical girl, should I call you Red Spica?’

[Do whatever you want. Don’t just call me by my real name.]

‘Okay, Suchae.’

[Real name only! Call me! except!]

Watcher laughed at An Su-chae’s harsh warning.

‘Then I’ll just take off the red and call it Spica.’

[So.]

Although he said he didn’t care, he seemed quite happy.

‘Because you are not a monster now.’

my star

Just like that, a star named Spica rose within him.

A red light blinked in the concentrated area near the heart. Just as blood circulates through the body, the light spread throughout the body through a pipe path connected near the center of the heart.

[be careful. Not all problems have been solved yet.]

The galaxy-like blue light mixed with a faint red light made it sparkle even more colorfully.

[As you know, this belt was not made to contain the universe. It’s just a temporary solution that combines your and my miraculous powers to slightly change its appearance and increase its limit output. Separate adjustments will be needed later. Of course, this capable me will continue to adjust the output while you move… but you can’t let down your guard. The belt may burst again.]

Gradually, various colors were mixed. Innumerable colors appeared on the black-based armor, which was like the empty void of the universe.

His body, shining with infinite mystery, was as admirable as the universe itself.

[I mean, try to be a little more kind and gentle. As much as I can bear it! Do you know that if I faint like this, your back will explode too?!]

Both eyes glowed red.

‘know.’

Don’t make the same mistake as last time.

Even if it is your first time using force, you will not be able to adjust it incorrectly and break the belt in a short period of time.

Infinite possibilities lie dormant in the universe. Infinity that can create any miracle.

[Okay, then first…]

With that infinity beating like a heart, I glared at the enemy in front of me.

[I need to stop that guy from playing.]

A body was growing from the severed neck. First the neck and chest, then the waist and arms, and eventually the legs were regenerated.

“Originally… this level of regeneration would have been impossible… but it looks like the fight with the lion was quite helpful…! “I didn’t even realize that my regenerative ability had grown….”

Contradiction staggered and stood up.

“Thank you for waiting.”

Almost all of the starlight was consumed to regenerate the body. His current physical ability is that of a four-star body that does not copy any power.

The amount of starlight is insufficient.

“Why, I should be grateful.”

Slurp. A shadow appeared on his fist. The shadow, wriggling like a boiling swamp, was infinitely similar to the darkness used by the Hound.

“I found a way to end your regeneration.”

Just once. That was enough.

Han Jae-joong, who remembered seeing the hound’s blade just before falling into this abyss, read all the logic contained there and brought it to life.

The poison-like darkness that ate away at the rebirth of contradiction during the battle with the Hound was contained in the Watcher’s two fists.

‘That’s interesting. Anyway, the next attack wouldn’t have been able to be played regardless of whether it was there or not.’

Contradiction closed his eyes.

In order to survive, I had to copy the power of enemies who were not here.

The philosophy of battle had to be abandoned. The immediate problem was survival.

‘In order to survive, you have to give up your beliefs, but if you don’t have beliefs, there is no reason to live.’

It’s a contradiction.

I lived for only one thing, but now I have to give up that one thing in order to live.

contradiction.

spear and shield.

A state in which logic is inconsistent and does not make sense.

The contradiction reminded me of the life of the person who came to mind just before.

I lived through a lot of things that didn’t make sense.

I can’t remember the details.

I only vaguely realized that I had been living like that.

I lived to make money, but before I knew it, I was making money to live.

Even though I knew that we couldn’t survive if we didn’t come together, I hated it.

One’s own freedom had to be respected and the other person’s freedom had to be suppressed.

There was someone I loved but hated. I found someone I hated but still loved.

Truly, it was a contradictory life. In some ways, it felt like the world itself was contradictory. Since there was always a back and forth, I thought there must have been no sense from the beginning.

That’s why I wanted to know the answer.

I wanted to realize whether a clear answer exists even in this discrepancy.

The simplest violence that appeals to one’s instincts while abandoning one’s reason to oppress, control, and dominate others, and yet is a conflict of strong will.

I wanted to at least check within the logic of that power.

I want to find out that there is something right.

‘Maybe… that’s what I was thinking.’

Honestly, I can’t be sure.

The memories are vague and the emotions have volatilized and disappeared, so I don’t know what I wanted.

Wishes are unclear.

The cause is also unclear.

But one thing is certain.

dream.

Your dreams illuminate the path so clearly.

I don’t know why I have to make my dreams come true, but my dreams must come true.

Contradiction raised the corners of his mouth.

“What is my enemy now?”

Looking straight ahead, I asked a question to just one enemy.

“Of course it’s me.”

“Then what are you?”

“I am just me and nothing else.”

“What are your powers?”

“My relationship and life. Part of the universe, the universe itself. So… Ah, indeed.”

From noble mtl dot net

When I found out the answer, I laughed as if I were contradicting myself.

“Yes. “People are the universe, and the universe is people.”

The contradictory eyes glowed red and blue. The two opposing lights ate each other and mixed the colors.

“My enemy is everything in the world.”

The color of half his body gradually became darker and darker, while the color of the other half of his body became lighter and more faded. After repeated mixing, red and blue were completely separated.

White and black.

Contains black and white.

The sky is white and blue, the ground is black and red. His body became colored as if explaining the laws of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth, which never meet, collided in his body.

Areas that had not healed before were healed, and numerous arms appeared around them.

“This too can be said to be contradictory, since we are using all our strength for just one enemy.”

Contradiction judged all the beings that had been encountered and recognized so far to be enemies. Therefore, all that power went into him and shook him.

Literally, the power of the whole world was shaken.

Quagwagwang! Light emanated from his body like a thunderstorm rising from the ground.

“ruler! “Let the final fight begin!”

With so many colors mixed together, it was infinitely black.

When he stretched out his hand, black lightning, flames, storms, and tsunamis arose, the ground shook, space became distorted, and more illusions than all reality arose, disturbing his vision.

Also, after countless colors were washed away, what was left was infinite white.

When he opened his other hand, numerous swords and shields, spears and sickles, bows and arrows, and numerous other long-armed weapons appeared.

The weapons radiated majesty as they were held by nearly a hundred hands behind his back.

It was heavy like an ink painting, elaborate like a sculpture, and avant-garde like an abstract painting.

The sight created by those numerous attacks was so abstract and bizarre that it was difficult for even Han Jaejoong, who was watching, to believe that the sight was real.

Looking at the attacks pouring down like a heavy rain, Han Jaejoong made one decision.

Let’s respond step by step.

If you see it, you know it, and if you know it, you can respond.

The moment you first see it, you know its power, the moment you act, you can use the same power, and the moment the action is over, that power is reestablished.

In this way, a star was established in his universe.

Flames were warded off with the same flames, and winds were blocked with the same winds. Tsunami was blocked and scattered with the same tsunami, and earthquakes were blocked with earthquakes, trapping the water inside the land.

The distorted space unfolded again, and the illusions disappeared into mere illusions. Poison disappears as it is buried in the same poison, what became faster became slower, and what became slower became faster again.

A slash is the same slash, a stab is the same thrust, a blow is the same blow.

The two imitated each other like mirrors and were unable to inflict any harm on each other.

By copying the power of contradiction, using the power of others, he is becoming stronger.

The structure was similar to how the contradictions of the past drove others into despair.

“That’s strange. “It was definitely not the fight between the strongest that I wanted.”

As a result, the two ended up using the same power as each other.

“I think this is pretty good as is.”

The two repeated the attack and defense as if playing Janggi or Baduk.

When the opponent attacked, I responded, and when the opponent counterattacked, I responded in reverse.

It was repeated countless times.

However, there were people who gradually started to be pushed out.

It was a contradiction.

While the Watcher’s power became more proficient and new every day, the contradictions remained the same.

Contradiction appropriated the power of all people created by good will and made all people enemies.

However, he took the power of all people who approached him with hostility as his own and embraced all people.

That was the only difference.

“This is so… standard.”

Contradiction laughed.

[Finish it quickly! There is now a limit!]

“I still think so.”

bang! His feet hit the ground and a powerful wave shook the heavens and earth. Starlight filled his legs and shined brightly. Distant and brilliant.

We continued to move forward.

The light became stronger as the steps continued.

“Oh, by the way, I see you didn’t answer the first question.”

Have you ever seen stars?

“Giving an answer when asked is respect, and it is a matter of balance.”

The sight of contradictions brightly covered me.

“I’m watching it now.”

A radiance covered the ruins.

“Here, it’s shining brightly.”

Kwagwagwagwang-! How huge an explosion and flash of light covered this place? Are you flying in the sky or digging into the ground? How much time has passed?

At a time when I was swimming in consciousness without even feeling that feeling, contradiction found light in my eyes.

All I could see was darkness. I don’t know if it’s still in the hole or under the night sky. But I knew that someone was next to me just by pretending to be there.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not a star, I’m the universe. “A universe containing stars.”

Contradiction shook his head at the fact that his answer was wrong.

“Haha… Even so, to me… it’s brilliant…”

Even in the midst of incoherent and contradictory phenomena, there was an answer.

“If that’s not a star, what else could it be?”

It was himself.

Even if one falls into self-contradiction and contradiction, there is one answer that cannot be shaken in the end. It has already existed here for a long time.

After a contradictory fight.

The answer was given in contradiction.

The loser was a contradiction.
