Episode 134.
“Nature is rather peaceful, perhaps because there are fewer people.”
“I see that, too. The monsters are playing freely.”
Jung Si-woo’s Phantom Bike continued its low-altitude flying while maintaining stealth. There was also an intention to capture the world’s scenery where humankind was disappearing. It was also to catch a strong monster immediately when they found it.
“It’s not without civilization. They crawled in there on their own.”
“But the civilization that is actually maintained…”
“We’ll have to go see it ourselves from now on.”
The Phantom Bike was very fast, but the Potupou world was so vast that the Phantom Bike had to fly for hours. It could have been such a huge planet from the beginning, or it could have been that a change occurred to the planet itself.
“It’s beyond my range in earnest…”
Looking around the world, Jung Si-woo had a strange impression in his heart. If one were to be thrown into the middle of the vast universe, would one feel this way? That there are dozens or hundreds of overflowing worlds bigger than Earth that even if Jung Si-woo, an individual’s existence, disappeared, it wouldn’t be noticeable at all: that sort of a feeling. He realized his frailty. On the other hand, he couldn’t deny the backlash feeling that he wanted to stand tall above all.
“Oppa, I can feel the magic.”
“Yeah, I was feeling it, too.”
The Dragon Sense has been activated sensitively since the moment he entered the alien world. There was no doubt that he could sense a barrier in the air that seemed to detect and ostracize intruders. And what was dimly seen beyond that was a city’s castle wall that was held traces of humanity’s touch. It wasn’t modernized like Earth, but there were meticulous and mechanical traces. Jung Si-woo’s Dragon Sense easily reached even beyond the barrier. It was able to feel the presence of the human beings living in it. The humans that were contaminated by a god, perhaps the god of Legion. Nevertheless, they still maintain their human form.
“What shall we do?”
“Well, shall we get started from here?”
“Oppa, are you dumb?!”
However, there was no other method to take besides going into the barrier. He now knew how the rest of the world was flowing, and he couldn’t return home, being satisfied that he had caught a teddy bear here instead of the one that appeared in Germany!
“However, wouldn’t it be better to set a specific course of action, hyung-nim? Fundamentally, the people here have nothing to do with the Earth or with you, hyung-nim. We can’t justify ourselves even if we breach in recklessly. It means that it becomes one-sided violence against them.”
“Indeed…even if it’s going to an opponent to fight one day, if we leave it like this, it’s a bit much to attack first just for the reason that it’s obvious they’re going to do so in the future.”
Surprisingly, Jung Si-woo restrained himself! However, it was only a matter of order. Just because Jung Si-woo politely requested a conversation, they wouldn’t accept it with a smile. Perhaps Jung Si-woo’s existence would become the catalyst for the monsterization.
“There must be some places where there is no barrier. As you have said, this planet is big. It was said there were other divine forces, so let’s look for them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hmm…I can’t wait to fight him, is there truly no other way?”
Jung Si-woo recalled the voice of a man who was talking to him with a frightened look on his face before he came out.
‘It can never be won against. Level doesn’t matter to him anymore. The god of the Legion’s power has truly demonized him. Many people were possessed by that power and became subordinate to the god of the Legion. Still, they only made him stronger as a result.… Kenato, you must avoid him at all costs.’
Suppose it was true that the power of a man named Kenato had increased due to his subordination to the god of the Legion. Was the power of the god of Legion affected by the existence of numbers of subjects? From the process of establishing power, Jung Si-woo already didn’t like it. The power influenced by a stranger wasn’t one’s own.
“Do I have no choice but to want him to come and see me when I’m running amuck somewhere else…?”
“You’re saying such cynical things so nonchalantly.”
“I don’t think as well that you’re going to lose, hyung-nim. I hope that you feel better after quickly having around with him.”
As he gave up his fantasy of Kim Ha-ryong and received a new fantasy of Jung Si-woo simultaneously, Yong Se-ha’s words were no comfort to Soo Ah-rin. However, whether she breathed a sigh or not, Jung Si-woo turned directions and started the search by moving in a different direction from where the barrier had been cast.
Potupou was home to so many it couldn’t be compared to the Earth. Most of them were only weakly influenced by a god’s power. Still, some of them gave off dense energy, which made Jung Si-woo interested in that they were different even though they were the same monster type. After three hours, Jung Si-woo finally succeeded in grabbing onto the “string.”
“I found the teddy bear!”
To be exact, the Red Tibade. Among them, a very small individual was shuffling through the field…was walking on the meadow. It was only but a pleasant sight to see as an unaware person, but in fact, the power of that little one was close to level 80.
“Oh, it found a snake.”
“It picked it up and is chewing it.”
It was truly scary to see a small teddy bear skilfully holding the snake by its neck and lifting it, chewing from the snake’s head without regard to the resistance of the poison as it wrapped its arms around it. However, there was one new fact that Jung Si-woo realized while watching his predation process.
“That’s the god of Legion’s subordinate.”
“Was it?!”
“That snake looks like another god’s subordinate as well. It’s above level 90, but the Teddy Bear easily got him just now.”
“So?!”
“There’s a presence of energy coming in from the outside and strengthening him. Can’t you guys see it?”
“If we could have seen that, would I be giving off this stupid reaction?”
The god of the Legion, what kind of a being was it? Amid growing questions, Jung Si-woo slowly drove the Phantom Bike while keeping cover. The baby teddy bear, who had finished snake-eating, began to shuffle again, and unlike a cute-looking baby, it was quite fast.
“It’s going to the epicenter of energy. But there’s no sign of it around here.”
“Aha, it’s the barrier.”
“That’s it.”
Even if they were subordinates to the same god of the Legion, the human’s area and teddy bears still seemed to be divided. It had so far denied Jung Si-woo’s existing perception from the root that low-level people unconditionally became monsters.
“Maybe the traits are different depending on the god.”
“Only the knowledge I don’t want to know increases day by day.”
Jung Si-woo followed the teddy bear, grumbling. As expected, reaching the plateau, which seemed to be nothing, the baby teddy bear naturally stepped into the subspace. Jung Si-woo, who was waiting only for that moment, drove the Phantom Bike to follow.
[Kyu?!]
When the baby teddy bear noticed it and looked up in surprise, it was already after the Critical Bullet that Jung Si-woo shot burst his cute face. He perfectly silenced the witness.
[Kuoooooooo!]
Or he thought so.
“Wow, this is how things go.”
Jung Si-woo once more admired the numerous teddy bears living in a village similar to that of humans in a small independent world that wouldn’t be strange to call a dungeon, and once again admired the fast networking method that communicated the baby teddy bear’s death as the power connecting to it returned to the original owners.
[Kuaaaaargh!]
[Kuiiiiii, Kuioaaaaaargh!]
Jung Si-woo’s plan to spy on the world of teddy bears had been blown away in an instant. In this situation, there was no way that stealth would be maintained. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of teddy bears, filling the space, were staring at Jung Si-woo!
[Here you are!]
To make matters worse, there was a voice that was directly stuck in Jung Si-woo’s mind.
[I thought you’d come to my temple in person, but what a surprise! Why have you come all the way to this outskirt?]
It was a voice of a middle-aged woman. By the way, was Jung Si-woo’s name spreading among the gods? That was unexpected.
[Of course, it’s because you’re the first one who can steal our power so lightly…no, is it the second time?]
“Even this punk is writing a subplot that doesn’t even make sense. I know that the first was the dragon, you bastard.”
[Huh?!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe god of the legion was baffled. However, Jung Si-woo didn’t care anymore. The fact that a god could deliver its voice to him directly meant that there remained a strong trace of the god’s power somewhere in this place.
“I’ll take it all away, too, so you just wait.”
[T-the dragon’s successor! If you think I’m a fool like the thunder god, you’re making a mistaaaaake! Although they are lowly animals, at the cost of directly stepping into the den of my blessed children, you will pay a truly painful…]
Jung Si-woo was no longer listening. He first checked the space he could move back and forth, examining the teddy bears here and there ultimately combining, and finally took out the Devil Lord’s Punishment and held it in his hand.
“I also want to wait and see to get Mana Stone, but…how much is this Mana Stone worth even?”
Even if he brings one back to Earth, he could become a billionaire, but he didn’t care now. Money wasn’t a very attractive commodity for him. Jung Si-woo activated Gigantification, neatly sweeping away the tens of thousands of small teddy bears that were flocking in front of him, and lifted it vertically, demonstrating the first attribute of the hammer, the poison.
“I’ll lightly drive you out of the world for now. So that you can’t even dare to set your feet on Earth.”
[You say very interesting things.]
The Teddy Bear’s invasion of Earth was a sign that the god of Legion had begun to watch the Earth. There was no need to wait for his traces to come over. The only reason why Jung Si-woo didn’t immediately enter the human realm was that it was uneasy about killing things that still maintained human form first.
“But to tell you one thing, I don’t like teddy bears very much!”
If one wanted to make him hesitate, one must bring at least a combined robot, not a teddy bear. Without knowing it, the god of Legion couldn’t seduce him!
“Phew…”
He breathed lightly. He then struck down hard with the giant hammer emitted black energy, similar to a black bolt of lightning. The difference with the black lightning was that they were more tainted in color and even smelled bad because of the poison. And if there’s anything in common about the effects of those attributes-
[The poison spreads in all directions, transmitting extreme poison and the burning status anomaly.]
[Ku-aaaak!]
[Kooie, kuieeeeeee!]
It was the contagious status anomaly! Terrible screams rang out from place to place, by the status anomaly more than powerful enough to collapse the teddy bears trying to merge. However, despite the terrible spread of the status anomaly, the teddy bears that managed to form the combination also lifted their bodies from all around. And in the middle of it, there was he.
[Guoooong…the punk, ours, member.]
A super-giant teddy bear with a crude golden crown over its head. It was a monster over 50 meters tall that could destroy the dreams and fantasies of young children with one strike! The divine power of the legion felt from him was indeed heavy.
“Aha, it’s a crown since it’s the sacred item of the god of the Legion. I like it because it’s so simple.”
However, Jung Si-woo, who faced him, was smiling brightly. It occurred to him that the answer might have been to search other places without invading the human realm.
“Alright, he should be able to survive a series of hits!”
[We will make, as part of us!]
Jung Si-woo and the super-giant Teddy Bear clashed in the center of Teddy Bear Village!
