Chapter 10

Sungjin gathered everyone together. “Did everyone have a good rest?”

“Yes.”

“And everyone’s prepared?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Then we should greet everyone before leaving. They do have a right to know what’s going to happen on this earth.”

“Announcing. I will do the final battle against the god’s realm,” Sungjin announced to the entire world with his power of a Kaiser.

His bright and strong voice rang. “The enemy is my opposite. He’s from a parallel universe. He’s the ruler of the Valhalla of darkness. He has burned his world and is trying to burn ours.”

Sungjin knew that the entire world would talk because of his announcement, but he did not hide the truth, because…

“This is not only my fight. I will stand at the forefront, but this is also a fight where your fates are on the line. That is why I want you guys to be with me on this. I’m assuming you want to ask how you can participate?”

The only ones who could stand on the battlefield were Sungjin and his teammates.

“Cheer for us. I believe that everyone’s hearts gathered together will create a stronger strength. A player does better on their home ground. Even if you can’t be with us, cheer for us.”

Entrusting them with the last competition’s cheering responsibility, he shouted for the last time, “I’ll take your cheers, and win!”

The entire world kneeled before their Kaiser. “Your Majesty, we wish you the best.”

Everyone cheered for Sungjin. They weren’t cheering just because Sungjin was their Kaiser. They hoped Sungjin would continue to be their guardian.

Sungjin, who had just thrown down his challenge, turned toward Pandora.

There was no way of knowing what he had prepared, but she was expectant. What she wanted to know was if he would break all preconceptions.

Do I want him to?

She was confused. She had infinite knowledge within herself, but she couldn’t comprehend her own emotions.

What did Sungjin mean to her? Was he the only person capable of showing her what life was? Or… was he something more than that? Right now, she knew nothing, and could only watch him.

They entered the realm once more.

For the final battle.

* * *

The two crows greeted them with an ominous aura.

“He has come to meet his final fate.”

“They were one in the beginning. They cannot continue to be apart.”

“The strong will swallow the weak.”

“How noisy.” Sungjin snorted and ignored them. “You two just watch.”

Chasing the two crows away, he faced his other self.

Sungjin’s region and his opponent’s region had entirely different auras. Even though they were the same forests, Sungjin’s forests were more peaceful and comfortable and quiet. The green of the trees and the bright colors of the flowers were beautiful.

On the other side, dark Sungjin’s forests were strangely twisted and filled with black trees. It could be called hell, not a place fit for humans.

If the desert on Sungjin’s side had an oasis and cacti and desert animals, the dark Sungjin’s side had souls drifting around black grains of sand.

Their different directions, of their own creation, were already affecting their world.

The dark Sungjin greeted him cheerfully. “You’ve finally come to meet your end.”

“Yes. Let’s do our final battle.” Sungjin smiled at his opponent.

They understood each other. They knew each other. They wanted the victory over each other. They couldn’t accept each other, because the opponent was himself.

“There’s no need for words. Let’s start our fight.”

“Good.”

There was no reason to drag the fight out, because they had already decided to defeat each other.

“I’ll see how much you’ve grown during the break. I’ll defeat you in the same conditions.” The dark Sungjin snapped his fingers with “leisure.” “Dark Colosseum.”

The battlefield that would decide their fate separated them.

The dark Sungjin and Sungjin. The two faced each other, and the rest were sucked into their opponent’s devil lords space.

“I wonder how many of your subordinates will be able to make it back here.”

“I’m saying it once more. They’re not my subordinates. They’re my teammates.”

“Equals? They’re simply subordinates.”

“I really don’t like you.”

“I feel the same.”

But the two did not fight immediately. The two both had time to wait for the others’ fights to be done.

* * *

Astaros and Ereka faced each other once more.

“Huhu. Let’s see how much you’ve changed.”

“Of course.” Ereka stabbed her spear at Astaros.

Astaros stopped her spear’s explosion with his magic circle. “It did become sharper, but there is no meaningful difference.”

Even if her spear had become stronger, it wasn’t strong enough to pierce through his defences.

After several exchanges, he gathered his power in his staff. “How boring. Even if you’re hiding something, you’re not my opponent. I’ll end this.”

Several large magic circles appeared in the air, and the surrounding objects began to be sucked into it. The universe’s suction force didn’t accept any resistance.

Watching it, Pandora shook her head. That’s similar to a black hole.

A destructive point that was created by Astaros’s magic. Before that force, which could destroy everything, even the Sun, Ereka’s defences were meaningless. Any material would be demolished within that thing.

“Disappear.”

As she was being sucked upwards, she closed her mouth firmly. Now what was she going to do? She had always tried to do something by sacrificing herself. It was her inner kindness to do so, but she had realized something as she had fought with Sungjin. If she truly wanted to protect everyone, she had to be stronger herself. Sacrifice only worked once. In order to support the world and protect it for a long time, she had to be strong. That was how Sungjin had protected everyone and had gathered them. That was why she had to…

“I’ll be strong for those I have to protect!” Ereka raised her shield. “Aegis!”

A bright light surrounded her. The holy shield she used to protect everyone but herself protected her. That was the new strength she had earned after ascending. The Aegis appeared after she had decided to stand as firm as Sungjin.

“Huh?”

An ultimate barrier that didn’t waver even before the strongest destructive force in the universe—that was a god’s power that went beyond scientific specifications.

The name of Aegis was much stronger, but Astaros had never thought it could stop his magic. He had never imagined his opponent could be released from his magic. That was his pride as hell’s magician.

But at the same time, he had let his guard down. Because he had used his all to create the best magical situation, he couldn’t use a defensive magic.

Surrounded in light, Ereka ran forward. The holy sword pierced Astaros’ heart.

“Kuuuhk…”

“Haah, hah.”

Astaros started to dissipate.

“Huhu, admirable. But I can’t disrupt my master’s cause. If I go, you go with me!”

But he did not create a micro black hole again. What he created was something that swallowed everything, even Ereka, whose Aegis had been released.

“Sungjin…”

That was how strong his curse was.

The result was a tie.

* * *

Pandora’s eyes opened wide.

Did the ultimate skill evolve into a new form?

Ereka’s Aegis wasn’t that form, according to historical data. It was only to protect others. It was also a form that had its own weaknesses.

What happened?

* * *

Eustasia’s Durandal met Asmodus’s numerous swords. A much faster Durandal hit a number of swords in a row.

“Ho. That’s good. Speeding ​​up one sword to handle several swords. It’s not a bad development.”

Asmodeus knew the end. Although Durandall was a legendary sword, it was suppressed before overwhelming numbers.

Like Randall, the original owner of Durandall, the legend of the earth was overpowered by numbers, and Durandall eventually broke down. At first the blade went out, and then it broke and eventually shattered.

Her body was soon pierced by the cursed swords. Asmodeus praised the fallen Eustasia. “You’ve developed a lot. But the power of numbers can’t be beaten by speed alone. This is it.”

“It’s not over yet.”

What could a swordless swordswoman do? Asmodeus watched with curiosity, but nothing happened. “What are you talking about?” He started his final blow against Eustasia, saying he wouldn’t wait any longer. But his instinct as a prosecutor warned him of something. And he saw… tiny starlight shimmering and filling their surroundings.

That is?

It wasn’t starlight. It was pieces of the shattered and scattered Durandall.

“Justice may be broken.” Eustasia admitted. In reality, justice had been defeated and defeated over and over again. “But nevertheless, moving toward justice again, that’s the chance he gave me!” Small pieces of the sword soared. They all became brilliant stars in the air. “So my sword will rise again and again!”

She had been defeated. However, Sungjin had allowed her to fight again. Sungjin had also been defeated at times, but he had stood up again.

Justice wasn’t one victory. She was going to make it so that justice would win over and over again.

“Indomitable Justice! Durandall! ”

Pieces of the sword fell down on Asmodeus, spewing light like the Milky Way.

“Cheeky! It’s already a broken sword!”

The demon swords also flew toward Eustasia in unison. Swords once again rammed her body. At the same time, star pieces penetrated Asmodeus’s entire body.

“With just a sword… … . ”

“Sungjin… … This is my limit. ”

The two disappeared at the same time.
