NovelEnglishWhat lay in front of Yeon-woo was easily larger than most planets, making him seem like a small dot in comparison. The being was more colossal than the one Yeon-woo had fought after combining with the Demonism in the past.
'And...the Crawling Chaos isn't alone.' They just couldn't be seen because of the Crawling Chaos' mammoth size, but there were countless beings on par with the Crawling Chaos behind him. There were even a few who had more holy power than the Crawling Chaos.
'Night... Does Imaginary World mean the otherworld?' From what Yeon-woo knew, it was only after the Tower had been built that the otherworld, the world of disorder and chaos, was able to be observed. He wondered if he had been mistaken. Olympus was clearly fighting a war with these creatures right now. He didn't know how much Olympus knew about these beings, or how great the forces these creatures of chaos were, but he knew they were most definitely a force to be reckoned with.
'There were a few gods who tried to flee because they were scared when I first saw Uranus after coming here.'
The Night was undoubtedly a fearful opponent for even Olympus, where Uranus ruled.
'The heavenly world was pretty anxious back when the Crawling Chaos alone appeared.'
Yeon-woo was barely able to seal the Crawling Chaos after forcefully entering his world of consciousness. If they met face to face, he wouldn't have been so victorious.
But here, Yeon-woo could feel the presence of cosmic beings on the same level or higher than the Crawling Chaos. He had no idea why these creatures were gathered together, but they weren't beings to disregard. These Outer Gods were among the highest ranks of the otherworld gods, and were called the gods of gods, so Yeon-woo needed to keep his guard up.
'Are the lower-level beings about equal in strength to Boo? It's hard to tell in this body.' Because Yeon-woo had entered a young Kronos' body, there were many restrictions placed on him. Fortunately, it seemed these creatures were maintaining Night, but they couldn't spread their influence outside of this sphere. No, it would be more accurate to say they were apathetic to all else. They didn't have any intentions of leaving the Night. Although they must've sensed Yeon-woo, the Crawling Chaos was the only one interested in him. 'If they could project their power outside of the Night...even Olympus won't be safe.'
Then, a question occurred to Yeon-woo. He wondered why they weren't leaving the Night. Based on how Night was expanding and slowly invading Olympus' territory, they clearly had the ability to do so if they wanted to.
Speak. While Yeon-woo was deep in contemplation, the Crawling Chaos continued to focus his thoughts on him. As expected of the creature that had been most curious and most interested in the Tower among the otherworld gods, he was curious about Yeon-woo, who moved according to different laws of nature than him. Speak.
'What should I do?' Yeon-woo deliberated whether to counter the Crawling Chaos or pretend not to notice. He was still in Kronos' body, so he couldn't reveal his powers. Even if he could, he wasn't guaranteed victory in this battle, which would take up too much time. And as the message warned, if he exceeded the time limit, he'd receive a penalty. He'd either be swallowed by Kronos' legends or end up wandering inside of them. 'The fact that I'm bound by Divine Iron isn't good either. Most importantly, if I get hurt or die... I don't know how Father's legends will be affected.'
Kronos' legends were already built up as firmly as the Tower. If an oddity entered them, everything could come crumbling down. It was why Yeon-woo planned on doing things according to the legends and disappearing after learning Pneuma's Sky. But that would be hard given his current situation.
'Father's gonna be quite mad.' More than anything, Yeon-woo was most concerned about Kronos' reaction. If Yeon-woo slipped up and Kronos got a hold of it, he'd make Yeon-woo suffer for eternity.
Even then, the Crawling Chaos continued to observe Yeon-woo. He was showing even greater interest. Yeon-woo was wrong in thinking the Crawling Chaos would move his attention elsewhere if he was ignored. The Crawling Chaos thought to himself, He might be slow-witted. Perhaps.
'How long is Grandfather planning on keeping me here?' Yeon-woo felt annoyed at the Crawling Chaos that was trying to look into his mind now.

On top of that, the domain of fight wasn't listening to Yeon-woo. It had been this way ever since Kronos' legends began. Yeon-woo pulled it back inside. 'Just leave.' He waited until the Crawling Chaos would lose interest and leave. The Crawling Chaos' thoughts had already observed his mind.
Since Kronos was still young at this point, he'd be seen as a weak lower god on the Crawling Chaos' standards.
Can he not...feel me? Strange... There seemed to be some response. The Crawling Chaos gazed at Yeon-woo for a while and slowly took back his thoughts.
Yeon-woo stayed tense and waited for Uranus to quickly pull him out. But suddenly...
[A part of the legends of the 'Crawling Chaos' that was swallowed by 'Hades' Spirit Eating Sword' reacts to the external thoughts!]
[The external thoughts clearly sense the legends!]
[It is canceled as it has no relation to this legend.]
'...Dammit!' Yeon-woo widened his eyes. He didn't imagine the Crawling Chaos' legends that Hades' Spirit Eating Sword had swallowed in the past would react here. It was immediately canceled because it had no relation to Kronos, but there was no way the Crawling Chaos would have missed it.
Dududu! The Crawling Chaos' thoughts instantly transformed into holy power and came for Yeon-woo, whose face stiffened. This is...something to eat. I'll burn it, freeze it.
Just then, an otherworld god who looked completely different from the Crawling Chaos came soaring from beneath Yeon-woo's feet. The god looked like a colossal fire that would turn the entire world to ashes. However, unlike the other unfamiliar otherworld gods, it had a familiar aura like the Crawling Chaos that Yeon-woo recognized. 'The Demonic Sea!'
It was the Lord of the Pole, who had been captured by the system after attacking it and became a hidden stage. He had appeared with all his might. Crash! The Lord of the Pole didn't pay any attention to the Crawling Chaos and widened his fiery mouth.
Yeon-woo didn't know why the creature was suddenly showing a response. But at this rate, both he and the Kronos inside of this legend would be swallowed. He quickly moved to escape. He had seen enough of the creature's stomach inside of the Demonic Sea.
[An unidentifiable power has been activated!]
[A part of the weakly tied chains has been cut off.]
[A part of the weakly tied chains has been destroyed]
The 'unidentifiable power' was the Yin Sword. It wasn't a skill or a power, but something Yeon-woo was enlightened with. It was within the same foreign boundaries as 'hacking' or 'abusing,' which was why the system called it an 'unidentifiable power.'
From the beginning, Yeon-woo wasn't too worried, despite having woken up in this young body of Kronos. If he was in danger, he could use the Yin Sword. It was why he let Uranus tie him up in Divine Iron without much complaint. 'But of course, part of it is because Grandfather tied me up weakly.' If Uranus really wanted to, he'd have sealed Yeon-woo instead of binding him.
Yeon-woo cut off all the chains around his hands and body. Then, he tore apart the mouth of the Lord of the Pole who was trying to swallow him, almost splitting the creature in two.
Krooo!
Ow.
Hurts.
Hurts.
As if to prove how he gained his status, the Lord of the Pole instantly disconnected from his outer body and successfully escaped behind Yeon-woo. However, he wasn't able to avoid being injured completely. He let out a cry that shook the Night. Then, he dashed for Yeon-woo again, exuding thoughts of hostility.
Dark sparks whirled around Yeon-woo. Each of them was brighter than the Sun and made Yeon-woo feel like he was going to be melted. Contrary to the light, the Lord of the Pole's soul emitted an icy energy.
You dare. The Lord of the Pole spewed dark fire with the intent to kill Yeon-woo, who was surrounded by icy energy that threatened to freeze him. Icicles fell from above like rain, and an intense storm of holy power attempted to stop Yeon-woo from moving.
'I didn't want to cause a fuss... but oh well!' Kronos' legends could possibly be crumbled, and Yeon-woo didn't know how much Kronos would rebuke him later, but escaping the Night came before any of that.
'Weapons first!' Yeon-woo reached for the chains that were now whipping in the air. The fact that they hadn't been destroyed in this intense storm of holy power meant they were quite durable. He was confident that, when it came to dealing with Divine Iron, he was one of the best. Although his body was weak compared to back in reality, the weapon of Divine Iron would allow him to make a mark on most creatures. The effects of Divine Iron didn't weaken in front of otherworld gods. Perhaps Uranus had foretold this as well.
Swish! The chains gathered in Yeon-woo's grip, connecting and condensing into a weapon with his holy power. When it was sucked into his hand, it had already transformed into the same shape as Vigrid. Whoosh! Yeon-woo released his holy power with all his might and swung the sword with the enlightenment of the Yin Sword toward the Lord of the Pole.
[An unidentifiable power attempts to take over 'Night (Knox).']
Chwachwa! The whirlwind of holy power that threatened to burn and freeze Yeon-woo was extinguished.
What. The Lord of the Pole was taken aback that such a small creature could deflect his power.
Whoosh! In the meantime, Yeon-woo slashed through space and dug deep into where the Lord of the Pole's 'head' probably was. He struck down his sword. The sword thunder, condensed onto the edge of his blade, brought down consecutive black-red lightning onto the being's body.
