Chapter 144: Vol. 6 Ep. 12
Team play began in ten different games all at the same time. Hundreds of characters gathered and fought.
Sungjin’s teammates and their opponents’ dolls began to use their skills, flying into the fight headfirst.
Good. Now’s the moment.
This ultimate fight was what Sungjin had been aiming for. This was what Sungjin had realized in his fight against the Kaiser of Gold: no matter how much he calculated, there was a point where he would reach his limit, and that when he reached that limit, the speed in which he calculated what to abandon and bring would make a large difference. In this kind of fierce battle, such a small difference made a huge impact.
If I consider this guy to have the same intelligence as me, then the difference isn’t him—the difference is how much more experienced he is against opponents with extreme strength or extreme intelligence.
And I suppose such a difference can be easily recovered.
And the fight would be decided when the difference was recovered. The delay that would occur for 0.01 seconds before everything could be calculated—that was the moment he was aiming for.
Sungjin’s character destroyed other characters.
Of course they won’t be defeated too easily.
This couldn’t be what his opponent had prepared. As soon as the game became advantageous to one side, he was going to concentrate on the other nine games and somehow counterattack.
And, as he predicted, suddenly the opponent’s movements became sharper in all nine games.
But that’s what I was aiming for.
At that moment, there was a slight delay in his control of the dolls.
“Now.” He alerted everyone on the team that it was the moment to end the battle… At the same time, a huge monster jumped out of the sea.
I knew this would happen at this time, a seabed beast that’s stimulated by the waves generated by a fight between two opposing sides and that indiscriminately chases people.
Of course, the appearance of this beast was expected by the opponent.
At this point, where there are more variables, it’s time for me to calculate faster than you, and that will determine the game.
“Aegis!”
“Durandal!”
“Mjolnir!”
The ultimate skill of Sungjin’s teammates burst forth.
“Bloody Lane.”
“God’s hand.”
“Gungnir.”
The enemy’s ultimate skills were also revealed.
While they were tangled up, the beast rampaged. When all those forces were intertwined and spread out… standing this time were Sungjin’s team members.
Sungjin’s command decided where and how the power was distributed in 0.01 seconds. And on the monitor screen, the enemy’s home was destroyed.
“I won this time.”
“Hahahahaha!” The Kaiser of Darkness laughed happily. “Okay, fine. You’ve survived the easier test, so I’ll take it a bit more seriously. ”
Finally, the dark veil surrounding the Kaiser of Darkness was torn. It was the moment when his true identity would be revealed.
Who is it? Team members gathered by Sungjin and looked on with curious eyes.
And he was… … .
“Eh?”
“Huuh?”
Everyone was so surprised. Only Sungjin and Pandora looked at each other calmly.
The one who came out as their enemy… … .
Was Sungjin.
“Sungjin… is two?” Ereka murmured.
“No. Something’s different. But… … . ” Eustasia shook her head, saying she couldn’t figure it out.
The two Sungjins faced each other. The Kaiser of Darkness, dressed in the same clothes as Sungjin, laughed. Even his laughter was the same as Sungjin’s.
As if satisfied, he called out to himself as if he was a real Sungjin. “As expected of myself. Very well. I should expect this kind of joke.”
“Is… … Is it fake? Like a doppelganger who steals your appearance or something?”
Jenna pressed down her embarrassment and quickly added, “But it’s strange. I think something’s different.”
Rachel made an unknown sound.
“What are you saying is different? That’s a fake!” Jenna shouted, and Zakiya grabbed her shoulders.
“No. I think I understand what Rachel is saying. I feel a deep darkness and evil in him completely different from His Majesty.”
Even though their appearance was the same, there were things that separated them, like energy and atmosphere, which could be felt by humans. The Sungjin on the other side had a very threatening and frightening darkness.
“However… for some reason… it’s not a projection or a transformation… Except for the dark energy, in every other way it feels like our Majesty…” As a sorcerer, she knew the art of mixing truth and falsehood.
“I see. It’s like seeing your brother, who’s chosen to be the king of darkness.” Sooryun agreed with Zakiya’s analysis.
“Hahaha. Are you the women that I gathered? I didn’t recognize you, since I gave you all as a sacrifice, but it seems like you kept them alive. They’ll gain that insight.” The dark Sungjin laughed cheerfully.
Sungjin stared with sharp eyes. “You are… me.”
“Did you realize it was me?”
“I thought it was a 50 percent chance that it was you.”
“I wouldn’t have lacked in giving you clues.”
They were enemies, but the two talked freely. No, they understood each other better than anyone in the world.
“The realm is… … It’s the point of contact between two parallel worlds.”
“Yes. Me from another world.”
“You are… … . ” Sungjin’s eyes became sharper. “Did you sign a contract with Lucifer?”
Naturally, necromancy was not Sungjin’s ability. It was an ability strong enough to dominate enemies that had been defeated. With such a mighty power of darkness, he could only think of one source.
“Contract? Hahaha. Wrong. It seems like I’ve gotten poor at reasoning since I turned toward the wrong path.”
“Who if not Lucifer?”
The dark side Sungjin laughed. “I said the contract is wrong.”
It wasn’t not Lucifer. “That means… … . ” Sungjin’s brain spun.
What if his assumption of Lucifer being the contracted one was correct? What if it wasn’t a contract?
Lucifer’s sword, the Dawn Bringer, recognized him as the owner. That was not a Trojan horse that Lucifer had lent… … .
If… … .
If… … .
Why was he a seraph when he transformed with power? There were many heavenly beings with wings besides angels, but his appearance was clearly an archangel.
A coincidence? But what if it wasn’t a coincidence? He didn’t paint himself in that form. It just came out naturally.
Additionally, why did the devil of hell have a strong connection with him, leaving aside the other stronger people?
Why was he… How did he have a brain that could handle even the strongest people of the age? Was it possible to have martial arts skills that dealt with the strong despite having weaker power?
Was it genius? That was the word for someone like himself, but were geniuses so transcendent?
It was a long time ago when he had realized he was born differently, but if the reason was beyond being a human genius… … .
Where else?
“Sungjin. What’s happening?”
“Ereka. This is just a hypothesis, but… … . Maybe I share Lucifer’s soul that was defeated, descended, and split by Heaven’s Creator in the beginning.”
“What?”
“It’s not a contract. It’s a ‘fusion.’” With his original self.
“Well, let’s call it restoration. That’s the answer: me.” Sungjin of darkness confirmed the hypothesis.
* * *
Muninn and Huginn flew around the sanctuary. “The earliest brightly shining angel rebelled against Heaven’s god,” the two crows said together.
“To free men from God’s control.”
“To seize the status and glory of God.”
The words of the two crows split from there.
“The motive was light.”
“The motive was darkness.”
The conflicting stories of a history.
Which was true?
Or were both true?
“And he was defeated.”
“God ripped his soul apart so that he would not challenge again.”
In the beginning, the angel who had challenged God was split apart. The magic was sealed in hell and became the shape of a black dragon that reigned in hell as the demon king.
The soul split in two fell into parallel worlds with different timelines, and the two souls took different paths, as if their truths were their own.
“The fallen supreme angel became one with his strength sealed in hell. He recovered almost all his strength.”
“The supreme angel is not one with the strength of darkness sealed in hell. His pursuit was above power.”
“The fallen supreme angel is strong. Thus, he overcame mortals and regained his original strength. It’s much stronger than yours, not by magic, but stronger than your own wisdom and martial arts.”
“The supreme angel is strong. Thus, he could win over mortals without his inherent power. But he was weak in front of himself who bears darkness. ”
The words of the two crows came together again.
“So this battle is…”
It was a prophecy.
“… the victory of darkness.”
It was fate.
“The archangel, fallen by the lure of hell, has resurrected.”
It was his life’s goal.
“He will rule over the two worlds and ascend into a new position.”
Both crows sentenced Sungjin’s defeat.
Chapter 8
The Sungjin of now and the Sungjin of darkness had originally been one and a part of a dark dragon in hell.
The fact that two of the three split together was the enemy they were supposed to face shocked all of Sungjin’s teammates.
Did they have to deal with the ruler of nine hells?
And… … .
Sungjin too… … .
At the same time his extraordinary ability was understood, they had a moment of fear. If the wisdom of the two divided souls were comparable, then the one with the power as a ‘evil ruler’ would be more powerful.
“Let’s stop playing around. I’ll summon my men.” The dark Sungjin snapped his fingers.
Sungjin’s team members froze. What had they been fighting against until then?
“Everyone get ready. It’s not a puppet controlled by necromancy. It’s a real enemy.” Sungjin’s words cleared up the situation, although it wasn’t a good situation.
