Chapter 759 - Executor (4)

A vast range of emotions and scenes flashed past Jeong-woo’s eyes, since Brahm was a name that conjured a sense full of longing.

When Jeong-woo first opened his eyes as the ‘real’ Cha Jeong-woo, the first emotion he felt was happiness. He was finally able to reunite with his family. Jeong-woo was overjoyed with the prospect of being able to touch the face of not only his father and mother, but also his daughter, Sesha, with his own hands. Previously, in his vestige spirit body, Jeong-woo possessed no sense of touch.

But along with his elation came a sense of disappointment. Brahm, Jeong-woo’s master and father-in-law, was gone. If Brahm was still alive, what kind of expression would Brahm have had if he had known that his disciple and son-in-law, Jeong-woo, had woken up and could finally reunite with the rest of his family members? Brahm would probably join Jeong-woo in innocent laughter.

At least, Jeong-woo thought so. Although Brahm was blunt on the outside, as he was not good at expressing himself, Brahm was very caring for others on the inside. Thus, when Jeong-woo was already having these thoughts and feelings about Brahm…

‘The being who killed Brahm?’ Jeong-woo widened his eyes. With his Draconic Eyes, which had advanced far beyond its previous level, he looked directly at Hou Yi. If the previous Draconic Eyes simply penetrated the truth that was entangled within the opponent, the new Draconic Eyes, supplemented with the power Quirinale, could read all the information of an existence as well as the space surrounding the existence.

[The ‘Magic Eyes of Quirinale’ analyzes its target!]

[The identified contents are as follows.]

[Name: Hou Yi.]

[Title: Former general of the Chan Sect. Current member of Trinity Wonder. Affiliated with the Sea of Time. Yvlke’s servant.]

[Divine domain: Moon.]

[Objective/Goal: Unknown.]

…

“I don’t know what you’re using, but it seems you’re analyzing me, right?” With a slightly curious expression, Hou Yi smiled at Jeong-woo.

However, seeing Hou Yi’s smiling expression, Jeong-woo’s own expression hardened. A single line of text caught his eye.

[…to maintain a secret, eliminated Brahm…]

The one phrase “eliminated Brahm” was enough to make everything clear.

Boom!

<Sky Wings – Maximum Power>

<Absolute Power Space>

Jeong-woo poured the maximum output of divine power into his Sky Wings. His light distribution shone dazzlingly before it disappeared. Clang! Jeong-woo suddenly appeared in front of Hou Yi.

“Attacking without any forewarning. How are you brothers so alike?” Hou Yi had suddenly crossed his two daggers, blocking the sword strike that Jeong-woo had struck out with, and smiled.

Though Hou Yi was reproaching him for the one-sided attack, Jeong-woo moved continuously without paying any attention to Hou Yi’s words. Jeong-woo’s Dragon Slayer, filled with Wave of Light, constantly drew arcs in space without rest. Boom! Boom! Boom! Jeong-woo was filled with only one thought: Eliminate Hou Yi.

Hou Yi was a member of Trinity Wonder, the beings who first built the Tower, and though Hou Yi was also acknowledged as the Heavenly Demon’s right-hand man, Jeong-woo did not care. Jeong-woo needed to avenge Brahm, Ananta’s father and Sesha’s maternal grandfather. He also needed to uncover the secret that Brahm had overheard.

[The sun of Day (Eros) is shining brighter than ever!]

[The blessings of the Great Bear and the Seven Stars have been bestowed!]

“Hmpf! You’re utilizing Ruling Steps. I guess you won’t be easily overcome. Ji-ho… That guy… He doesn’t move at all when needed, but he’s always in the mix at these weird times.” Hou Yi narrowed his eyes at the constricting feeling brought upon by Ruling Step, which was trying to restrain his movement. Though his strengths lay in agile movement, his movement was being restricted by Jeong-woo’s skill.

Soon, Jeong-woo caught up with Hou Yi. The firepower that Jeong-woo proudly displayed was at a level that even Hou Yi could not ignore. And if Yeon-woo were to join Jeong-woo in attacking Hou Yi here, Hou Yi would be put in a dangerous position.

“…well, I can’t let that happen.” The only reason Hou Yi appeared was to grab onto Yeon-woo’s ankles and buy some time. Thus, Hou Yi decided that he did not need to hide his hand. He threw the arrow of light dagger in his left hand at Jeong-woo.

Jeong-woo, who was getting closer to Hou Yi, hurriedly turned his head to the side to avoid the arrow of light attack.

Hou Yi took the opportunity to open his empty left hand in front of him. Crackle! The space surrounding the two quickly broke into cracks. The cracks spread all over the air in an instant, and as darkness arose out from the cracks, and soon reached the Night that Michael had previously opened.

[The realm of Night (Nox) has widened!]

[A large-scale advent is coming!]

Boom! Rumble… Suddenly, black bolts of lightning struck down.

[The opponent who disappeared in ‘dream 345,147,832,335’ has descended, revealing itself!]

[The opponent who disappeared in ‘dream 65,459,304,596’ has descended, showing its face!]

[The opponent who disappeared in ‘dream 12,312,778’ has descended, raising its huge body!]

…

[System Error.]

[System Error.]

[Beings whose information cannot be read in this ‘dream’ have appeared on a large scale! Law of causality is heavily overloaded!]

[Warning! The strength of spirit pressure placed on the space has far exceeded the allowable limit! The space’s coordinates will be depressed! The collapse of space could lead to the creation of a large black hole!]

[Warning! The laws of the space are collapsing due to the massive emergence of unreadable beings! Quickly remove the irregularities or viruses! Otherwise, the end of days may come!]

[Warning! Insufficient system memory regarding the designated space! The information processing speed of the network, connecting the server to the client, has been markedly reduced!]

…

[Green Flames tilts its head as if confused by how remnants of an old ‘dream’ could still exist.]

[The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young looks with an annoyed expression at the unpleasant yet familiar opponent faces.]

[Source of Uncleanliness states that the opponents seem to be remnants left by the other father.]

[The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young strongly protests that the being Source of Uncleanliness is referring to should not be referred to as their father!]

[Source of Uncleanliness admits its mistake and apologizes.]

[Green Flame states that the opponents’ existences are a mockery of them, the Eight Gods of Disorder. Green Flame is of the opinion that punishment should be imposed not only on the opponents, but also on the fake father.]

[The Harbinger expresses a strong intention to eliminate the opponents once and for all.]

…

[The Eight Gods of Disorder of Night (Nox) show strong hostility to the previously disappeared dreams’ beings!]

All the beings of Night, including the Eight Gods of Disorder, prepared to fight as soon as they saw the appearance of the various opponents. They all felt exasperated by the sudden appearance of the opponents from past dreams.

The beast-like opponent existences of past dreams were naturally adversaries of the Eight Gods of Disorder and the beings of Night. For the beings of Night, who retained their knowledge of past dreams, the opponents represented evil beings. Moreover, these beings dared to appear under the banner of Night… And the opponents’ appearance was made possible by the main ego who they previously thought and served as their previous father…

Naturally, the beings of Night had no choice but to feel betrayed, and those feelings naturally led to anger. Any remaining feelings of guilt for Sage, who they had long served as their father, were completely erased. The opponents and Eight Gods of Disorder soon clashed.

The battlefield soon fell into disorder as the beings, boasting sizes much larger than most planets, openly displayed their full power and fought.

[System Error.]

[System Error.]

The system gave up on trying to analyze the phenomena.

「Hehehe! There’s no better shit show! And there’s no better shit than bunny shit! Cute and cuddly, Rabbit Punch~!」 On one side of the battlefield, Laplace, exposing his wriggling copper-colored muscles, ran about wildly.

The beings who would normally say something about Laplace’s looks had no time to comment, as they were all focused on fighting.

However, the larger issue was that Hou Yi’s efforts did not stop there.

[The adversarial opponents from previous dreams have appeared in large numbers at Olympus’ headquarters!]

[The adversarial opponents from previous dreams have appeared in large numbers at L’Infernal’s headquarters!]

[The adversarial opponents from previous dreams have appeared in large numbers at Niflheim’s headquarters!]

[A large-scale war is taking place all over the heavenly world!]

As if he was planning to wage a complete war with not only those of Night but also those of Day, Hou Yi was revealing all the power, plan, and cards he had hidden so far.

『What?』 Agares could not help but feel bewildered at the messages.

Bark! Bark!

Only the bare minimum number of forces had been left at L’Infernal’s great holy territory, just in case of an emergency. Most of L’Infernal’s forces had come to this place. If the power level of the beast-like opponents who appeared at the demonic society’s doorsteps were anything like the ones who appeared here, L’Infernal’s great holy territory was bound to become a wasteland.

Fortunately, Fenrir and Loki had been left behind at Niflheim’s great holy territory, so the situation was relatively better for Niflheim. However, they were also in danger.

『Agares!』

『If we leave things as they are, we’ll fall into danger! Please hurry back…!』

『Please give us your orders!』

The East Demon Army and the other demon kings of L’Infernal urgently sent out messages all at once.

Agares frowned and yelled at them.『Don’t be scared! Don’t you know that they want us to be scared? Idiots!』

Agares growled. His manner of speech seemed to state that he would rip any of those under his command to shreds immediately if they dared to disobey his command.『Halphas, who was left behind at the great holy territory, will take care of the situation. Anyone who doesn’t follow my order to the letter will be immediately killed and used as fertilizer for the Fruit of Good and Evil.』

『…!』

『…!』

『…!』

『Understood?』

『Ah, I see!』

『Y-Yes!』

『A-alright!』

The various demon kings nodded in a daze before refocusing on the war. Whereas their former leader, Baal, ruled with overwhelming charisma, Agares ruled through maddening violence and sheer terror.

Moreover, the East Demon Army was famous for their absolute loyalty. If they did not follow Agares’ orders down to the letter, they felt that they would truly be killed and used as fertilizer, so they had no choice but to follow Agares’ orders. There was no option for them to run away or leave L’Infernal. Agares was a madman who would chase them to the ends of the universe and cut off their heads.

In the end, looking at his subordinates following his orders, Agares let out a deep sigh. He understood that his threats were only a temporary workaround.

Even if a demonic society had a strong hierarchical order, in the end, demons put their own greed and self-interests first. If the great holy territory was destroyed, and if there was a possibility that their personal self-interests would be better served elsewhere, the demons would react differently.

『Is he trying to induce the end of days right now…?』If Hou Yi and his side truly meant to induce the end of days, they had a better opportunity when the Tower first collapsed, so Agares wondered why they bothered with a delay.

From Agares’ point of view, Yvlke did not seem like an existence who wanted the end of days to come.

No, even if Yvlke wanted it, there was no reason to start the process right now. Though Agares did not know exactly what Yvlke was aiming for, he was certain that Yvlke had a different purpose.

Yvlke was the type of being who would achieve his goals before bringing the end of days. It was weird that he was resorting to such a dangerous move. Even though there was a great risk that the ‘dream’ would not be able to withstand the spirit power pressure of such a mass appearance and collapse…

‘Does that mean…that you’re feeling the heat?’ Agares felt that he stumbled on the crux of the issue.

Yeon-woo had recently taken away a tremendous amount of darkness from Sage/Yvlke. Night, which had always stood as a central, absolute support base for Sage/Yvlke, had also turned to Yeon-woo. Though Sage/Yvlke was still in a favorable position, that position could easily be overturned. This meant that Sage/Yvlke felt threatened by Yeon-woo.

Thus, Yvlke probably wanted to achieve his objective before being caught by Yeon-woo. If Sage/Yvlke were to lose anything at this point, they would probably fall.

‘Their objective is to probably find something in Li’s tomb…!’

It became clear to Agares that Yvlke was taking a gamble to grab onto Yeon-woo’s ankles to slow him down.

Since Yvlke needed the dream to last a bit longer, Yvlke would never jeopardize the stability of the dream. Thus, while making Yeon-woo busily fight, Yvlke was probably trying to accomplish his own purpose and objective quickly.

‘The easygoing and carefree Yvlke has been pushed into a corner! Ha!’ Yvlke, as the High Guardian of the Tower, had ridiculed the gods and demons countless times. Thus, Yeon-woo’s ability to make such a being scramble and feel cornered was simply amazing. Agares’ gaze was firmly fixed on Yeon-woo, who was still confronting Hou Yi. He juxtaposed Yeon-woo and Jeong-woo.

『If things continue, my greed will only grow greater in scope!』 Agares lightly licked his lips.
