episode_0122

We finally reached the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Of course, this is not an area where Taoist priests live, but an area where people live.

If you go through the area where people live, you will come across a place where Taoist priests, creatures that are a cross between humans and immortals, live, and if you go further in, you will come across a place where immortals live.

And the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes for a person to enter alone.

Even now, I don’t know how I’ll get in, so let’s go and think about it.

I want to do that.

If there weren’t a line of soldiers lined up in front of me right now, I could go and think about it.

Dozens of them. All on horseback, their spears pointed at me. Among them, the one with the most distinctive armor and helmet stepped forward.

“The Emperor wants you. Follow me.”

There was no self-introduction, and it was just a tone of voice that said that if I speak, it was natural for me to listen to my orders.

“I don’t like it.”

So I said what I thought. If I had met him a little earlier, I would have gone right after him. If I were to make an automatic harvester among the people sitting in high positions, as I had planned, I had to go now.

They’re making a system that automatically harvests warmth by turning them into harvesters. That plan is still in progress.

But that’s only if there is no natural enemy. If you make the emperor a harvester this time, the immortals will come again, oust the emperor, and create another emperor.

If I were a god, I would do that.

Looking back at the memories I’ve gained so far, most of the Kunlun immortals are righteous people. They don’t just stand by and watch the monsters make the people of this world miserable, but they step up and fight it themselves.

The Murim Alliance and the Cheonma Singyo.

Comparing these two, from a human perspective, the Cheonmasingyo is an ugly villain. It’s the kind of evil that kills all the living Cheonmasingyo members and then regrets not doing it.

We have already lived in a society that is culturally and socially too heterogeneous, and each and every one of them is insulting humanity, so we cannot assimilate.

Let’s say that all societies are like that, submitting to power.

But there are things that humans should never tolerate.

Plant parasites in people.

If you do not obey the words of those above you, you will be tormented by worms.

This is a natural society.

It’s so crooked.

If only the leader had been killed and the rest of the people had been spared, the culture of the Cheonmasingyo would have changed and re-emerged in its place.

Because the people who learned that culture are there, changing the shell on top doesn’t change the inside.

Once a culture is born, it doesn’t easily disappear.

So the right choice is to remove everything and then regret it later, and that’s what they did.

The reason I’m heading to Kunlun is not because the Heavenly Demon Sect has fallen.

Because there is a goal.

Primordial Heaven.

Daegon was a huge, valuable piece of information.

However, the basis of special techniques is based on the premise that many sacrifices are consumed for one’s own use.

yes.

I am very knowledgeable about the technology I use. If I were to give this knowledge to a harvester, I wonder if he would ever be able to get to a point where he could use it.

For example, useful skills can be used by characters starting at level 100,000, but it is impossible to level up that much.

Or should someone like Daegon be the harvester, and that huge mass of light bow its head to me as an opportunity?

Of course, it’s a technology I can’t use.

But the opponent, the Primordial Heavenly Lord, is different.

They are close to technological civilization. They handle and use unique tools, and I especially like the fact that they are made up of knowledge.

Once you get it, you can copy and paste it, right?

If there is a technology that can move the world… … .

“So I’m warning you one last time. Monster. If you don’t follow me, you’ll be dragged away in a dirty state.”

“I said I don’t like it.”

I was thinking of something else while I was blaring the Emperor’s authority and the power he had given me, and the sound of him preaching his own greatness, but he used the word ‘last’.

“Then, get dragged away.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they took out a strangely shaped wooden board from the saddle and aimed it at me.

As the wooden board glows, pure white metal chains shoot out of the air and bind me.

Judging from the color, I don’t think it’s steel.

It looks like it would be difficult to break it with just the power of the first snow.

Hmm.

I felt the same way when Cheonma restrained me when we first met, but I don’t think simply restraining or sealing me is an attack judgment.

Normally when I get attacked, I feel like they’re hitting my body, but now I don’t feel that way.

Bam.

I kicked him in the back, meaning, “What are you looking at?”

The back radiates a pale blue light.

Some of the men on horseback stumbled and fell off their horses. They fell to the ground and crawled backwards with dazed expressions.

Then, the conscious men got down from their horses and stuck needles like needles into the bodies of those who were crawling on their backs, staggering.

“Huh!”

Immediately they came to their senses.

“A person, a bewitching object. Could it be used during the day?”

“You can break the mental protection barrier in an instant, you’re a monster with a risk level of at least unpaid… …!”

“Use the Honwonsimjinchang!”

It’s very quick to come back from a mess. The chaos quickly subsides and they quickly finish their repairs.

And then those who had been doing nothing behind came forward and pulled out strangely shaped spears from their saddles. When they aimed them at his back, even though no light came out, his back shattered into pieces.

Everyone deals with it in a familiar way.

It means that I have experienced this situation many times.

Well, in a world where there are monsters, it would be strange if there were no organization in the human world to deal with them. Especially in a place where there are human rulers, it would be impossible for there to be such an organization.

What if there isn’t any?

Either the ruler is not human, or there is something ruling the human ruler.

“It’s no use struggling.”

What is the boastful human man saying? So, I have to get to Kunlun quickly and meet the Primordial Heavenly Lord… … .

Then let’s struggle as far as we can.

I held onto the pure white chain and pressed down on reality.

Kaching.

A thin, long, clear crack appears in the air.

The chain turned to dust.

“The chains of the prisoner must be binding you, but you’re using such superpowers?”

“General. In the air, that. That, crack. Isn’t that it? When the monster from outside appeared.”

“The spiritless monster. Could this guy also be a monster from another world? I guess I can tell the Emperor why I couldn’t bring him.”

Whether this crack had provoked them or not, they pulled out their gear and other weapons from their horse’s saddles.

He’s trying to kill me with a weapon that looks like a sword.

yes.

They are trying to kill me.

Well then, I guess I just have to push it once.

“Humanity. Do you really think that you can kill me with something like that?”

To provoke.

Then the man hardened his expression and got down from his horse. Another man also got down from his horse, took up his weapon, and aimed it at me.

And as soon as I gave the hand signal, the three men behind me immediately ran towards me. Between them, I could see the man watching me closely.

You are very attentive.

As if he was learning martial arts, he quickly shortened the considerable distance. The three soldiers who approached me cut me down with their weapons.

My body was torn to pieces with a crackling sound from the broken TV. Instead of blood, black powder flew out of the wounds.

Is it me?

No, that’s not true.

I thought maybe he had cut my body, but he had just treated the wound in a different way. Like when a hero cuts off a multi-headed snake monster, he cuts off the head and cauterizes the wound with fire.

I’m guessing it’s probably a feature that makes it difficult to play.

And I got three warmth.

In an instant, three people start to swell up like bubbles, and parts of their bodies that shouldn’t be there or organs that don’t exist in humans start to pop out.

hmm.

A little bit, I’m starting to get the feel of this. This too.

The light has turned black and shriveled up, but its shape still remains, like a crumpled plastic bottle.

The Daegon was so big that it could push me inside and move.

It’s like moving around inside a doll’s clothes.

Putting me in the contract means filling the cotton inside the doll’s clothes with a liquid called me, and strictly speaking, this means moving outside the doll’s clothes.

I piloted the three of them and shot the spear at the leader of this group.

Just one action.

The light that had turned black just by that burst like a bottle that had been forcibly filled with water. The body, from which the light had disappeared, fell to the ground and shrank.

Crunch, crunch, crunch

No, it’s not shrunken.

Where their bodies were, there was a tiny hole floating in the air. It was like an alien being sucked into a vacuum from a spaceship in some faded science fiction movie.

ah.

Come to think of it, Daegon died like that too. A huge crack appeared and he was slowly sucked into it. I know because the crack was connected to me.

“Unpaid, weird?”

“Two more levels. Minimum level is light.”

“General. But we’ve already subdued them, so is there a need to raise them two more levels?”

The general who deflected all three flying spears glared at me. Yes. My body was still in pieces, with black powder leaking from the wounds.

“If you put on human skin, your body pops out and your human body remains. If you disguised yourself as a human, your body is revealed. But it just stays like that. It means you’re not injured at all. Isn’t that right, monster?”

Kkwaduk.

The crack went away and I regenerated it. I looked closely at the joint to see if the cut surface would come apart again or something weird would happen again, but there wasn’t anything like that.

This time, there was no resistance at all, so I suspected that it might collapse after regeneration, but surprisingly, it is weak in enforcing reality.

anyway.

“Yes. I’m fine.”

I walk forward.

Since time is running out, I think it’s better to let them attack. We can just change everything every time.

Step step step

The frightened men aimed their weapons at me, but a man who appeared to be a general raised his hand to stop his men.

“You guys step back. I’ll use that.”

“General! If you use that, this area will disappear!”

“It would be better to retreat and let them clash with Kunlun. If the non-aggression treaty with Tianjiao is broken, we will be at a disadvantage.”

“There is no penalty for failing to capture a monster above the unpaid level! You must take a step back here!”

Then his men grab him and push him away. In the meantime, there are a few words that are concerning. The area disappears. This means that there is a weapon like a bomb with a high power.

And the non-aggression treaty with Tianjiao. I was wondering if Kunlun could be so weak when the soldiers came rushing in right in front of Kunlun, but it turns out there was such a treaty. In other words, if I go into Kunlun like this, I can’t act recklessly.

He made a complicated expression at that. When I finally got to them, he just pointed his weapon and didn’t stab me.

I greeted a man named General.

“Thank you for stepping aside.”

This is serious. We fought for a bit and lost time, but it’s better than continuing to fight here. And more than anything, I’m starting to feel uneasy about the durability of the glass bottle.

Before reaching Kunlun and obtaining the technology, the glass bottle must not be broken. How many of these countless worlds have people who can travel to other worlds?

What are the odds that one of these opportunities will be so close to my hand?

Now is your chance.

As I take a few steps back, the sound of horse hooves behind me grows distant.

I think he ran away.

Still, if the Emperor wants me, then it’s not so bad. If things go well from now on, I can go to the Emperor.

Considering that the Murim Alliance’s spies were inside the Cheonma Shingyo, it is highly likely that the government forces’ spies were inside as well. They must have heard the rumor that I can heal people.

Regenerate lost limbs and cure diseases.

And that includes the disease of aging.

It’s a pretty decent ability.

This is a power that a ruler would want. If you really want it like this, I am sure you will be able to create an automatic harvesting system like I have in mind later.

There’s something to do before that.

So, I want to meet the original Heavenly Lord quickly.

As I was thinking that, I heard a sharp sound that tore through the sky, and then, phew.

A black harpoon protruded through the ship.

At the same time, I gained his memories and learned what had happened earlier. He said that if I went into Kunlun like this, something terrible would happen.

He said that his instinct told him not to send me to Kunlun because he had seen many monsters that did absurd things when certain conditions were met.

I looked back.

In the distance, I see a man smiling with satisfaction, his body bloated with abnormal growths of meat and bones.

This window is something that was in the memories of the three, and it is something that the person who licked the light now also knows.

Geukyangchang. A spear with the name of Son of Heehwa. When its power is at its maximum, an intense wave of heat covers all directions.

Immediately after gaining that memory, the window instantly turns blue… … .

I pulled the window out of the boat.

Yeah. It’s a bomb, so what?

Crap!

There were cracks everywhere, but I thought of a way to make it a little more fun. I picked it up and walked up to the man who had already gone mad with nine arms and eyes sprouting all over his body.

And then he put the bomb in its chest.

Do you know that? The monster I made by stealing warmth is similar to the harvester. People are difficult, but if it’s just now when the change has just begun, you wouldn’t know.

I just learned it, but I have one chance to control a monster.

I shattered the light, hoping to unite it.

It became an object that looked like a flower with nine hands wrapped around it like flower buds.

hmm.

I learned one thing.

A concept-first monster becomes an object when its warmth is taken away.

A person becomes an object when he or she fuses suitable objects together while taking away their warmth.

Wait a minute. Where on earth do they use people like this… … .

Ah! The teachings of the Tongcheon Church leader!

I guess it’s because of Daegon’s memories! Daegon really gives generously. Then how generous would the Primordial Heavenly Lord be?

Kehehe.

I arrived in Kunlun holding a single flower.
