Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 279

279 – Life and Death (8)

At the same time, Seolhwa Yoon was looking for Perseus, who had disappeared, with eyes full of resentment.

“How dare… how dare…! Are you trying to control me?!”

Of course, I don’t expect to find it. However, if you give them a signal that they will be searched the moment they are noticed, they will stay still and not come out.

The wound from the scythe has not healed yet. As his body in the transformed state was strong, he would not die from excessive blood loss, but the slowness of his thinking and reactions due to anemia was fatal in a busy battlefield.

In a way, her murderous glare right now was bravado. A bravado to cover up poor physical condition.

“I will make you pay for almost making me forget Jaejoong even for a moment…!!”

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t sincere.

The desire to grind her five organs and six parts into small pieces and throw them into the sea was actually seething within her.

‘What can I do anyway?’

Perseus was not unaware of that fact. She is warning you not to come out with a hint of bravado as she uses her intimidation. Even though there is a hint of bravado, it is certain that nothing good will come of him stepping forward.

However, in the end, it was Yun Seol-hwa who was at a disadvantage by taking so much time. She still has a scar from a cut she made with her scythe earlier. As time goes by, it becomes more difficult for her.

‘I have rebirth. You can’t even stop there. Truly a natural enemy. ‘Me and that woman have a perfect superior-subordinate relationship.’

Although it is difficult to approach her due to the large difference in firepower, she can be cut down at any time if there is an opening.

There must be a limit to rolling your eyes like that right now. The moment an opportunity arises, this time, without hesitation, I will strike a fatal blow.

‘There’s nothing we can do if you’re not on our side.’

He circled around the hound and grabbed a sharp-edged scythe.

‘I have no choice but to kill!’

A long battle of nerves ensued again. The two spent time maintaining a certain distance, like parallel lines that never meet.

The moment you get even a little closer, you will be eaten by a black hole and die, and the moment you let your guard down, your head will be cut off by a scythe and you will die. Since you cannot receive it as a companion, the only remaining option is death.

How much time has passed?

Perhaps the Hound’s stamina had run out, or the wound had opened and his concentration had loosened, but a gap appeared.

Perseus strengthened his resolve and narrowed the distance. He has the ability to fly, so he moves on the sea without splashing a single drop of water.

We succeeded in approaching the hound without showing any trace.

‘This is the end…!!’

Goodbye. The one who once almost looked at the same scenery from the same place.

Perseus swung his sickle with tears in his eyes. Although it was brief, it was sad to behead someone he thought was his comrade.

At that moment, the hound disappeared before my eyes. His scythe cut through the air.

‘…what.’

I couldn’t understand. As far as she knows, she doesn’t have any powers like teleportation. If it was moving at a high speed beyond her perception, there should have been traces of wind or spray left behind. But she disappeared in an instant, like a mirage.

Considering the Hound’s abilities, there was only one ability that could do it.

‘Did I… get stopped in time…?’

Time stops. That was the only possibility I could think of right now.

“W-That’s ridiculous… There’s no way I could be defeated by a technique like Jeongjeong… There’s no way I could be defeated by such evil monsters…”

Perseus muttered in horror.

“Maaa.”

And that voice, like a forcibly stretched audio file, was broken and stretched out to be heard in the world. Yun Seol-hwa frowned at that unpleasant voice.

“I thought about it when I saw that stopping wasn’t working.”

Very strong forces distort space. Just like Hercules did. And a power even more powerful than that eventually distorts time. The strong do not follow the laws of the world, but can change the laws themselves.

“I literally thought it would be fine as long as it didn’t stop. So, I tried using slowdown instead of stop.”

Perseus and the world around him slowed down infinitely. It looked like the video taken with a high-speed camera was played back at maximum speed. Even as time passes, there is no movement. The world was so slow that it seemed endlessly close to stopping.

“Of course it was difficult. “It was a technique I had never used before.”

What is possible in theory and what is actually possible are different. During my special training with Helios last night, I realized that other time distortions other than time stop were possible, but I did not research it because I was in a hurry to increase the stop time.

This technique was improvised and presented on the spot.

Yun Seol-hwa’s warning and action were intended to buy time to theoretically complete this technology.

Of course, as usual, it would have been difficult to create new technology in this short period of time.

“But you really got on my nerves. “To the point where I can’t sleep at night without fucking you.”

Thanks to this, Yun Seol-hwa was able to succeed with this technique.

Perseus’ body slowly collapsed. There was something black and round behind his back. It looked like a dot, a hole, or a sphere.

The Hound’s peculiarities. A darkness that distorts and absorbs everything.

“You are a black hole, and your body will be torn apart and regenerated countless times by its gravity. Of course, very slowly. For tens of thousands of years, maybe longer. Literally an astronomical amount of time will pass. Isn’t it really fun? “It’s like you, who can’t stop with anything, stop simply by slowing down.”

In a way, it became his unstoppable counter. Countering the counter in reverse would be the best joke. Yun Seol-hwa chuckled next to him and made a mocking sound on purpose.

“Of course, you won’t hear it.”

He lived a time that was so far removed from reality. Isolated time that will not pass even a second while the four seasons change. It looked like a leaf that was trapped in ice and had to wait quietly for the ice to melt.

You will be trapped within this long period of time, repeating death and rebirth endlessly.

When this long period of time is over, will he be relatively fine or will only traces remain like a fossil?

It was a truly interesting topic.

“Of course, you can never be fine.”

He took steps to ensure that he died and that his grandson’s grandson’s grandson’s generations would suffer here forever, but he was never allowed to let down his guard.

“…I guess I’ll have to go help now.”

Yun Seol-hwa muttered, imagining another storm beyond the sky.

“Wait, Jaejoong. “I will come for you.”

I wish I could be praised. The corners of Yun Seol-hwa’s mouth became soft and relaxed.

‘Praise and, if possible, punishment…!!’

With such hope in her heart, Yun Seol-hwa was the first to escape this sea.

**

Amundsen was in deep shame. And quite a lot.

‘Fuck… Shibaaal…!!’

I kept swearing in my head and moving my hands. Even though she wanted to struggle with embarrassment, she had to endure it during the battlefield. Instead, he flicked the bowstring with all his shame and anger.

The light and sharp arrow once again pierced the head of the enemy who had previously been a friend.

‘What was I doing…!!’

It was the greatest humiliation, even during my lifetime.

It’s better that I forgot my dream. What I don’t remember is that there is no map or compass in the vast ocean. In such a situation, it is difficult to reach the destination.

Even if you act for immediate survival rather than a dream, there is at least some room for consideration.

It’s a bit embarrassing that my memory remains vague and I’m confused about its purpose. I feel so ashamed and guilty. He fell into arrogance and hurt many people. These are actions that cannot be justified.

There was no room for even the slightest consideration for the sins committed during all this wandering. It was for survival and entertainment, not survival.

But even though I remember everything, even though I found my dream after so many hardships and sacrifices, I threw it to the back of my mind and chased another goal. I let that precious dream gather dust!

For a monster who values ​​dreams above all else, it was a rare humiliation and a shame of his life.

Amundsen still thought of himself as a monster.

There was a time when he was a human being, but now he is a monster. He himself defined it that way.

This was true even excluding biological issues. Amundsen did not think he was worthy of being called a human being.

This was not simply a lack of qualifications.

Considering what he had done so far, it was natural.

He slaughtered people and didn’t even feel guilty about it. Even if a biological human did such a thing, he would be treated as an animal, but since he looks like a monster and acts like a monster, how can we not call him a monster?

“But Jason, you’re not…”

Amundsen muttered in a sad voice. It was hard for her to believe how her comrade had changed.

Even though Jason looked like a monster, he had human emotions. I know how to sympathize with the weak and empathize with the pain of those who are suffering. He knows how to take responsibility for his sins and how to get along with anyone.

I know romance.

“But what kind of nonsense is that now?”

Forcibly correcting other people’s thoughts and killing those who do not follow the correction? They covet what belongs to others and even try to take control of nature.

Even if this was Jason’s original appearance, Amundsen could not admit it. He should never have admitted it. I gritted my teeth as I recalled the memories we shared under the name of comrades.

“Mincheol.”

The Watcher approached Amundsen.

“It’s Amundsen, you b*stard!”

“You should cherish your real name.”

“Fuck, if you look like this and are called by your real name, Gao will fall! “How did you know that name, you crazy b*stard?”

Obtained from memories of a parallel world. Han Jaejoong didn’t bother to say it out loud because even if he said that, no one would believe it.

“Jason, what happened to that guy? Was that really that guy? A captain who brainwashes others and is arrogant?”

“Half right and half wrong. A ship needs a captain. “The owner of Argo must fulfill his role as its captain, so his mind is reorganized to fit the constellation itself.”

“What bullshit.”

“Jason, too, is the one who was brainwashed. “You ignorant b*stard.”

A constellation that even modifies the owner’s nature to fit its mold. The good character that Jason showed before taking up Argo was probably closest to his essence.

Now Jason, like the other crew members, was close to being a brainwashed victim. At the same time, it cannot be denied that he was the perpetrator who led the brainwashing.

“Well, then you can use that ability to undo Jason’s brainwashing, right? Why haven’t you done it before now? “Are you a bigot?”

“Unlike you, I completed my mandatory education, you idiot. “If you don’t do it, there must be a reason not to, you idiot.”

If there is even one comrade left, the captain will be resurrected. It was the same not in a physical sense but also in a mental sense.

If Argo’s will still remains in this world, he will continue to exist.

“Do you really have any special talents? “Something like a weakness that only you can see… or a shitty weapon.”

“If that were the case, would you be doing this shit right now?”

“You’re fucking ignorant and incompetent. “Did they de-brainwash you for no reason?”

“What are you b*stard?!”

bang! At that moment, Orion’s arrow flew and vaporized dozens of ships in an instant.

Even Amundsen could not replicate that blow. He has no talent for wielding weapons. He just quickly built it up to the limit that could be built up with effort with his unique keen eye. A naturally talented hunter like Orion was easily surpassed by his skills.

Orion was the biggest help among the people the Watcher brainwashed.

As a monster, having his dream insulted was unbearably unpleasant, so all the brainwashed monsters turned against Jason. Their murderous intent mixed with the sea, and the sea contained more murderous hearts than salt.

“Is there anything really?”

“I said there wasn’t one, damn it!”

Han Jaejoong had a headache.

‘Sky Polaris said he could stop it alone…?’

As what she said, it couldn’t have been a lie. It was clear to Amundsen that she had the potential to stop Argo single-handedly.

‘Yes, I guess it was messed up again with my intervention. I guess it’s like that. Damn again.’

However, that possibility was prevented by the Watcher’s intervention.

“So, if you want to kill that guy, you have to screw all of those little b*stards?”

“Or I’ll have to undo the brainwashing one by one.”

“At what time?”

“That’s right.”

I was at a loss. Even if the brainwashing was lifted, the number was only a very small number.

The sailors who were hit by the arrows fired by Orion were regenerated. They rose up with fighting spirit burning.

“Don’t give up!”

“The enemy can’t defeat us anyway!”

Their sense of unity became stronger as their fighting spirit grew, and as a result, their overall strength also increased.

“haha….”

Jason smiled at his amazing crew.

“…I can’t help it!”

He despaired at the betrayal of his sailors, but gained hope when he saw his comrades who had not yet lost hope.

“The authority that was passed to the executives is transferred back to me!”

Jason’s voice was loud and flat. He had a unique charisma that made everyone turn their attention towards him.

He captured the flag. Golden light swirled around the flag with the Argonaut symbol on it. A stream of silky golden water flowed through the ocean, which was crashing with murderous intent.

“Gather as one! “Brave warriors!”

Kugugoogung!!!

The sea was churning and the sky resonated. The horizon that seemed far away became even further away. Like a book opening, the world opened wider. The size of the world has increased.

A ship approached at high speed from far away on the horizon. These were ships that had never existed before.

[Oppa! Now this….]

From noble mtl dot net

A call from Jo Ayun was heard through the belt. She was impatient and embarrassed.

‘…No way, are you the ones coming now?’

[Then the group of ships we are approaching is…]

‘Probably me…’

Jaejoong Han realized what Jason had done.

“Now, I don’t hesitate either! “I will do my best to defeat you!”

It was an integration of the previously separate Goldilocks Zone.

“Let’s end it here! “This is the last war!”

The sound of the sailors cheering filled the sea.

It was late summer.

“Now, wait a minute!!”

Baek Ah-hee shouted, covering her chest with her arms.

“Well, I’m not mentally prepared yet…!! Stop!! “Stop advancing!!!”

Sweat poured down like rain as the ship advanced closer to Han Jaejoong in real time.

The beads of sweat flowing down her truly summery outfit glistened in the sunlight.
