crossing the wall

‘Notified.’

Watching Arlin suffering from being trapped in water droplets makes me feel alive.

[Hey! Martin!]

Hermes is gasping for breath as if he overworked himself in bringing me here.

[If we fight… Can not be done.]

I’m sorry Hermes, but I can’t seem to get over it.

Pod!

kicked the ground and ran

He surpassed Aline in one step.

Between Alin and Poseidon, there was a string of divine power that could be seen because they had an external force.

I cut it as it emerged.

shock-

A string that cuts lightly.

Alin, freed from the water, can be heard breathing.

“Alin, get some rest.”

“Oh, brother!”

I ran straight to Poseidon without going back to Arlene.

I won’t be suffering now.

I intend to let you know that if you touch me or my people, even if you didn’t know it, you could die.

‘I have to do it right.’

The opponent is a powerful, high-ranking Transcendent.

As I ran, I raised my external power.

Poseidon’s eyes, which were like a calm sea even while the string of divine power was being cut, began to shake at some point.

I stopped supplying external power there.

Any more is a waste.

I learned that even this level of external force could be a threat to a transcendental being of the level of Poseidon.

fault!

added strength to the feet.

I reached in front of Poseidon and stretched out my fist.

In the eyes of transcendentalists with low realms, it would look like I had teleported.

My arrival here and the attack on Poseidon happened just as quickly.

puck!

A curtain of water appears, blocking my fist and swaying.

I felt hairs stand up all over my body.

‘deep.’

far away

Even though it is less than 10cm thick, the veil is so deep that it seems impossible to reach Poseidon through the water.

A shape as if the deep sea had been compressed.

I can imagine how Aline must have felt when she was trapped in these waters.

If I were just an ordinary semitranscendentalist, I wouldn’t have found a way to break through this veil.

‘absorption.’

A black external force was formed in the hand that touched the water curtain and began to absorb the divine power of Poseidon dissolved in the water.

Maybe it’s because I’ve absorbed the fire of the phoenix once, but the nature transformation speed of the external force is faster than I expected.

[Well… … .]

I really like Poseidon’s frowning face as if he was embarrassed.

[Clean it up!]

Huung-

The trident he wielded fell overhead.

Even though it is at most the size of my wrist, it makes me feel as if a huge tidal wave is approaching.

“Suck!”

I radiated the divine power of Poseidon I had absorbed with my other hand, formed a shield and held it out towards the approaching trident.

bang!

Kkakjik-

Since the amount of divine power absorbed was not small, the window could be blocked. But my body couldn’t stand the rebound.

broken arm.

I didn’t hold on and used that strength to step back.

bang!

The spear that passed in front of me hit the ground and created a huge explosion.

Water gushes out from the ground that touches the spear and rises into the sky like a dragon.

Whirly Rick-

At Poseidon’s beckoning, the water turns and rushes towards me.

I quickly put my broken arm back to its original state and opened the fantasy door behind me.

shook-

The place where I appeared after passing through the fantasy gate was above Poseidon’s head.

I created a sword with an external force and it fell right on top of Poseidon’s head.

puck!

rocking-

‘this.’

couldn’t reach

This time, the water barrier was created faster than my attack could reach.

shook-

As soon as I saw the moving trident, I floated back into the sky, recreated the portal, and attacked Poseidon in the same way as before.

puck!

and got stuck again

puck! puck! puck!

I’m moving freely through space using the fantasy gate, but I couldn’t overwhelm Poseidon with my speed. It may not be a matter of speed. He countered, blocking my attacks as if he knew where I was coming from.

While my attacks are getting easier to block, his counterattacks are getting sharper and sharper.

squeak-

The front island was cut long.

Blood oozes from the thinly cut chest.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

The reason why I can show the same level as Poseidon right now is because of only one reason.

That he is passive in this fight.

It doesn’t look like he has enough energy, but he strangely continued to fight centered on defense.

“after… .”…

I stopped the pointless attacks.

At this point, I can’t help but worry.

‘Should I use more external force?’

With more external force, you should be able to knock Poseidon down. Right now I’m only using about 10% of my external power.

But I only use 10% for a reason.

‘Output limit of recoverable external force… … .’

That’s just the limit of what I can fight while recovering external forces.

Any external force beyond that cannot be recovered, and all who use it will perish permanently.

I didn’t know because I had never dealt with an external force to this extent until now, but I learned its limits while fighting Poseidon.

Of course, using less than 10% does not mean that all external forces are recovered.

About 99.9%?

It means that even in this meaningless fight, 0.01% of the external force I used was steadily disappearing.

‘sun? Tell me?’

You can do it.

20%? not. You can use 100% if you want.

That’s why it’s more of a concern.

It seems like you only need to use 20%.

If I had to spend more than 50% to defeat him, I could give up my mind at all, but I don’t give up easily because I think I’ll only need to use 20%.

I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t.

‘driving me crazy.’

If it were the original me, I wouldn’t even have to worry about things like this.

But now I just want to run amok without thinking about the future.

‘I want to use external force to my heart’s content.’

The only place to get it is the ancient crystal ball in the Superman Association’s inspection room, so I want to use the precious external power.

Even if the day comes that you will regret it later… … .

‘sh*t… … .’

Just when I was at a loss, Poseidon opened his mouth.

[Calm down.]

In an instant, the anger that he had barely suppressed began to boil like an explosion.

much stronger than before.

[Find reason and calm down your strength!]

Every single word of the guy makes my life soar.

“I am fine.”

If I had lost my temper like he said, he wouldn’t be able to talk in front of me like he is now.

“A subject I don’t know anything about… … .”

Suddenly, two voices sound like hallucinations.

‘With this almighty power, you can do anything. Martin, you are great. So do as you please!’

‘Even now, you’ve wasted enough energy. As the old man said, think rationally. You’ve been doing well so far, right?’

It doesn’t seem like a simple hallucination.

My head is pounding.

‘Shut up… please… … .’

Despite my earnest request, the two voices did not stop.

‘But we are you?’

‘You mustn’t disregard our wishes, Martin.’

I feel like going crazy.

[Are you okay?]

Poseidon, who seems to be worried about the enemy, makes me even more angry.

Not just Poseidon.

I want to tear apart everything that made the situation this way.

[You are very dangerous right now… … .]

I didn’t want to listen to him anymore, so I screamed out loud.

“Shut up!”

and.

The moment I spit out that short word, my mind was surprisingly refreshed.

‘what.’

Rather, it makes me feel better.

My body seems to float, and the world seems bright.

And I noticed a change taking place in my body.

‘12%.’

Now I realized that even if I exert that much external force, I can recover 99.9% of it.

What the hell is going on?

‘13%. 14%.’

I do not know.

I don’t understand.

bang!

A tall man fell in front of me from the air.

it is silent

“You’re breaking your shell.”

“… … ?”

“Don’t you know? You, you are continuing to rise in rank.”

I’m not so stupid that I don’t know what he’s talking about.

“Am I trying to become a Transcendentalist?”

“It is certainly. A long time ago, I also know what you are going through now. My disciple was like that too. You are about to cross the wall. A mortal must go through such a process to become a transcendent. It’s a bit odd, but rest assured. I will protect you.”

widely.

A groan is heard from the side.

“This is not the time to be safe. Martin is different from us.”

It was Latun.

“What is different?”

“Master and I both transcended after rising in rank, and only then did we gain strength. But Martin got the power first. The case is obviously different from ours.”

He turned his head and looked at me.

“I don’t know exactly what state you are in right now. But one thing seems certain.”

“… … .”

“You are becoming a monster because you cannot handle the power you have. At this rate, you too will end up becoming like the monster you met back then.”

hopefully i will

He is also good at jokes.

“Calm down, Martin! look at me!”

“Well?”

“The Martin I knew was a straight-minded man. You can overcome!”

Ratoon is looking at me with very serious eyes.

Am I serious right now enough to talk about wicking?

I honestly don’t know.

‘I think it’s better than when I heard hallucinations… … .’

I feel better now than ever.

“You know better than anyone what your condition is! Don’t turn a blind eye! Look at yourself objectively! If you become a transcendental being in this state, you will surely become a tremendous evil god comparable to an outsider.”

foreigner… … ?

That one word calmed my excitement a little.

‘If Latoon can say this, there must be something wrong… … .’

I closed my eyes and began to contemplate my condition. And I soon admitted that I wasn’t normal.

I had no choice but to admit it.

It must be strange, since not long ago, he was unbearably angry with Poseidon, but now he is in a good mood.

The problem is that knowing that doesn’t change anything.

“I knew I was crazy. What should I do now?”

“You have to overcome.”

“… Do you have any helpful advice?”

I’m still going back and forth.

“You are now standing at a great turning point. Depending on which path you take now, you can either become a hero or a villain.”

A hero, a villain… … .

It wouldn’t be a very suitable word to say to me now.

Heroes or villains, after all, those are words only mortals would use.

‘How do you feel… … .’

It’s not bad.

reminds me of the old days

In my first life, I was called the worst villain ever and lived an unhappy life.

However, in his reborn life, he did not have enough heroes, so he acquired all the good titles such as hero, saint, and savior.

‘What is the difference between the two lives?’

The answer comes right away.

Whether or not the siblings survive.

In his first life, he lived as a vengeful spirit for his dead younger siblings, and that’s why he became a villain.

After returning, I saved my younger siblings, and as I tried to create a world where my younger siblings could continue to live, it became the current state.

‘Martin, don’t throw away your essence! You are the king!’

‘But now he’s just a human.’

The hallucinations that I hear again disturb my brain.

I opened my eyes in frustration. Then, unconsciously, I looked down at my body.

‘What is this all about?’

There is a mixture of blindingly white light and dark black light like a black hole.

chaos itself.

I think I know why Latun said that he is an evil god or a foreigner.

‘It’s like a foreigner.’

Yes.

My current appearance was not that different from the black and white strangers I had met before.

‘What do I want to do?’

I looked back.

I see a girl standing with the help of Lamune.

I came all this way for that child.

‘Notified.’

There was not the slightest wavering in Alin’s eyes as he looked at me.

‘is it.’

I’m crazy enough to worry about transcendent people, even Poseidon, who even fought me, but you still don’t have the slightest suspicion that I’m going astray.

“haha.”

Laughter comes out of nowhere.

The mind that no one could control, not even myself, returns to normal.

The hallucinations fade.

Just because I met Aline’s eyes.

I’m so settled

Hwaaa-

Even without doing anything, light radiates from the body.

“Ahh… … .”

It feels like being reborn.
