Chapter 391: 391

A battle fought on a beach not too long ago flitted in and out of Yu Jung-Hyeok’s irises .

⸢On that day, the spear that separates the boundaries of the oceans clashed against the abundant night . ⸥

It was the battle of ‘Gigantomachia’ he witnessed back then . In that place, he saw the boundless ocean and infinite night go head to head .

Poseidon and Hades .

A battle of Statuses between two Myth-grade Constellations; the brilliant showdown of the enormous Statuses possessed by the Constellations occupying the top rungs of the expansive .

Yu Jung-Hyeok bore witness to that battle and was shocked by it, felt moved by it, and had to despair because of it . And he stood back up again . He did what he needed to do in order to surpass those distant enemies .

This sword strike was a technique he created by copying those enemies he couldn’t surpass yet .

Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship .

Inner Mysteries . (奧義)

Split the Dark Ocean .

Yu Jung-Hyeok’s sword moved along with the illusion of the jet-black ocean splitting apart .

It was a sword strike imitating Hades’s scythe colliding against the spear of the oceans . The Ether blade burning up in the blue hue was immediately dyed in the black light, and the explosive magical energy from the Transcender substituted for the darkness of . And in the next instant, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s [Breaking the Sky Energy] cut apart Anubis’s torso .

Gu-waaaaaah!!

The powerful sword strike tore through Anubis’s body; it screamed and collapsed to the ground .

Even if they were in the 80th scenario, this power to defeat a Fable-grade Constellation was… .

[Many Constellations are shocked by Incarnation Yu Jung-Hyeok’s godship!]

The power of a human that had finally exceeded that of Constellations caused them to seethe in agitation .

[Attack him together!]

[Fire! Kill him!!]

Someone’s cry became the signal for the bombardment to commence . Arrows imbued with powerful magical energy rained down . Yu Jung-Hyeok confronted them all from the front .

Pu-shuut! Pu-shuuut!!

Even as the arrows pierced his side, shoulders, and thighs, he stood before Anna Croft to deflect all of the attacks .

She had to ask him . ” . . . . . Why?”

“You’ll die . “

“Then, why don’t you let me?”

“Not in this place . That isn’t a part of Kim Dok-Ja’s plan . “

She bit her lips, hard .

Kim Dok-Ja . Of course, she knew who he was . However, what was he, anyway? Just what was his importance, that this proud and unyielding man decided to bend his own belief for that guy?

Yu Jung-Hyeok muttered loudly as if to answer her silent inquiry . “I once glimpsed the memories from the regression turn of a far-flung future . “

A far-flung future, he said .

Before she could say something, though, he continued on . “It seemed that many things had happened . “

“Well, looks like you’ve glimpsed something really fun, then . Did you also happen to see the end of the 3rd turn, too?”

“I did not . However, I did see what your future was like . “

Anna Croft’s shoulders flinched a little from surprise .

She possessed [Precognition], but all she could spy on was snippets of the future . She definitely couldn’t see the distant future beyond this world-line .

Yu Jung-Hyeok asked her . “Do you wish to know?”

“Not at all . “

He ignored her and opened his lips . “Like how you’ve inherited the memories of yourself from the 2nd turn, the you of the next turn will inherit the memories of you from the 3rd turn . Just like that, you’ll continue to use [Retrocognition] to glimpse into the portions of memories from the previous regression turns and inch forward into the future . Just like how you’ve doing until now . “

“You’re speaking of obvious things . Someone who can’t see the future can also say stuff like that . What are you trying to tell me here?” replied Anna Croft with a dismissive smirk .

But, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s expression remained unreadable . “Past the 700th turn… . Many things changed . You, me . Under the curse of remembering our past turns, we grew weaker and weaker . “

” . . . ‘We’? No, hang on!”

“And past the 900th turn, and then, the 1000th… . One day, you told me this . “

Yu Jung-Hyeok slowly blinked his eyes and recalled a certain passage he read from the records of the 1863rd turn .

⸢Yu Jung-Hyeok, I won’t be transferring the memories of everything that happened so far to the next turn . ⸥

⸢I can’t do this anymore . I’m not like you . I can’t keep fighting on while carrying all this burden . ⸥

⸢From here on, you’ll be alone . ⸥

⸢Are you confident of carrying the burdens of everything?⸥

Anna Croft’s complexion paled as she yelled out . “That can’t be me . I won’t break down! I am . . . . !”

“You’ll change . “

His words digging in like a sharp oracle made her entire body shudder . Her empty eyes began quaking next .

Before she could say something, though, he opened his mouth first . “However, I’d like you not to change . “

Her eyes opened wider and wider .

“I wish to keep hating you . I plan to remember every single thing you’ve done and never forgive you for them . For that purpose . . . . “

He left the trembling Anna Croft behind and stepped forward while unleashing his Status .

” . . . . . You must not go to the next turn . “

As they broke past the endless rain of arrows, they saw a lone Constellation standing on the field, waiting . He was the strongest being on this battlefield .

[All of you, step aside . I shall fight that human . ]

It was the ‘God-King of Thunderbolts’, Indra . Countless other Constellations could only tremble when confronted by his enormous power that symbolised the Status of .

Ku-gugugugu!!

[Constellation, ‘Thursday’s Thunder’, is keeping a wary eye on ‘God-King of Thunderbolts’ . ]

The Constellation who also symbolised ‘thunder and lightning’, ‘Thursday’s Thunder’, seemed to be burning with fighting spirit more than usual .

“Yu Jung-Hyeok, stop! Even if it’s you . . . . !”

Yu Jung-Hyeok ignored Anna Croft’s words and dashed towards the God-King of Thunderbolts .

He already knew the Status of Indra well enough . This being’s power exceeded even that of Surya he fought some time ago . However, he wasn’t planning to cower before this being . Not at all .

‘Still not enough . ‘

Indra was not his ultimate target .

Compared to the Myth-grade Constellations or Outer Gods he needed to fight in the future, a being like Indra was simply another crossing on the road he had to walk on .

Also, the being he wanted to surpass more than anyone else was… .

[Constellation, ‘Secretive Plotter’, is impressed by your will to fight . ]

[5000 Coins have been sponsored . ]

Yu Jung-Hyeok’s figure soared high into the sky before shooting straight towards Indra .

[How arrogant . . . . !]

The thunderbolts fired by the God-King split the land apart . Ash-coloured arcs of electricity danced violently as the field cracked open like a crashing tsunami wave . The electrical currents pounced up and tore into Yu Jung-Hyeok’s arm; they tore into his legs and penetrated into his stomach . With every step he took in the air, he looked back to the time he had lived so far, and thought about the lives he might have to repeat .

The 41st regression turn .

The 362nd regression turn .

Times Kim Dok-Ja had shown him . And then . . .

… . The 1863rd turn .

The future he got to spy through the ‘Secretive Plotter’ flitted in and out of Yu Jung-Hyeok’s brain .

For him, this was a battle against himself .

The realm he couldn’t reach no matter how hard he tried; there he was, the 3rd turn of himself struggling crazy hard, and then struggling some more, so that he could surpass those moments .

Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!!

Yu Jung-Hyeok ploughed forward as if he was borrowing all of the possibilities of the life he’d have to live, and the lives he might have lived .

The ‘Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship’ .

Breaking the Sky Sword Saint once told him this – that he should not permit the heavens existing above him . That he should destroy everything, annihilate, and to disdain everything .

However, what was he supposed to do when, after destroying the sky above, he finds there was something else up there?

The ‘Secret Technique: Inner Mystery Transmission’ .

[Constellation, ‘God-King of Thunderbolts’ is ridiculing you . ]

The Constellations looking down on Incarnations from beyond the heavens above – this sword strike was created solely to cut them down .

As he sensed the magical energy flowing within [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword], Yu Jung-Hyeok recalled Cheok Jun-Gyeong’s sword .

With just one sword, he cut apart mountains . With that sword, he let the world know that even the oceans could be cut .

So, what did one need in order to cut a star down with just a single sword?

Kaaa-boooom!!

One of Yu Jung-Hyeok’s legs exploded in mid-air . It wasn’t because of Indra’s thunderbolts, however . His muscles, tightly bunched together to a nonsensical degree, exploded with a loud noise; this noise was caused by the Fables permeating into every corner of the muscle fibres, exploding to create a forward thrust .

[Stop that! You bastard . . . . !]

He saw the eyes of Indra freaking out .

Yu Jung-Hyeok felt the time slowing down . No, it didn’t actually slow down, but rather, he had sped up, instead .

⸢In order to destroy a star, you must become a star yourself . ⸥

This was the answer for someone like him, born as a mere human, to reach the Constellations .

The speed that a lifeform couldn’t withstand began tearing apart Yu Jung-Hyeok’s entire body . That was the price to pay to become a star when he wasn’t one .

His body shot forward like a black supernova and broke past the walls of the arcing electricity, shattered all the Constellations daring to block him, and finally, reached Indra’s heart .

The ‘Shooting Star Slash’ .

He felt a definite sensation from the tip of the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] .

And then, there was the voice coming from a star splitting apart; accompanied by the sound of something exploding in the distant cosmos, Yu Jung-Hyeok sensed his body falling from the air . His eyesight blurred and he couldn’t confirm the sight of the star he managed to cut . The muscles of his body refused to heed his orders; not an ounce of energy remained in him . He still felt someone catching him through his fading five senses, though .

The one he hated the most was busy running away with him in her embrace .

“Yu Jung-Hyeok, you’re truly insane . But, I already knew that . . . . “

While vomiting out more blood, Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke to her . ” . . . . . Indra?”

“He’s probably dead . His Half-God Body exploded, after all . Even if he survived that, he shouldn’t be called a living being anymore . “

Anna Croft’s voice was infused with a certain, unexplainable heat . Just her emotions conveyed in the tone of her voice was enough for him to understand what he had achieved here today .

He had managed to destroy a star .

A measly little human had indeed destroyed one of the eight brightest stars of , the lokapala .

[All Constellations belonging to the Nebula are furious at Incarnation Yu Jung-Hyeok . ]

Sadly, though, there were still countless stars left in the sky .

“If I hadn’t rescued you just now, you’d have died there . “

He knew that she was speaking the truth .

Through her [Precognition], Anna Croft must’ve seen his death .

“Even though I did rescue you, it’s nothing more than just delaying the inevitable, though . . . . “

Blood continued to flood out of the wide-open wound on his waist . One of his legs was gone, and he didn’t have any strength left to hold his blade upright .

And eventually, her fleeing steps came to a halt, too . He couldn’t see the front, but he understood what her action meant .

They no longer had any place left to escape on this battlefield .

Anna Croft spoke . ” . . . . Yu Jung-Hyeok, I don’t have any desire to live up to the 700th turn alongside you . “

“I’m the same . “

“But then, god damn it, looks like we’ll have to live together in the 4th turn . “

“That’s not going to happen . Because I won’t die in this place . “

Yu Jung-Hyeok didn’t possess [Precognition] ability like her . He didn’t know what would happen next . Even then, he continued to speak in a hushed voice . “Because . . . . “

His voice was fading away, yet it was definitely not the voice of a man preparing himself for death .

Almost at the same time, roars of crackling thunders could be heard coming from the far side of the heavens . They did not belong to Indra’s thunderbolts . The space-time was distorting, and the noises were generated by something crossing over a gigantic Gate .

Yu Jung-Hyeok couldn’t see that spectacle, but Anna Croft witnessed it in his stead .

It was an army enveloped in pitch-black darkness; a single realm buried deep inside an ancient Myth was currently crossing over to this world .

– Yu Jung-Hyeok, you stupid bastard!!

Yu Jung-Hyeok heard the loud yelling from the one standing at the forefront of that army and spoke up . ” . . . . Because, I have allies in this turn who won’t betray me . “
