don’t be ugly

shock-

My foot passed the king’s arm.

An attack that entered from a perfect square.

The king’s eyes widen. He wouldn’t have noticed my attack until he felt the sense that his arm had been cut off.

sue-

The blur of time is still slow. It’s infinitely slow. It was only after his arm was cut off that the king’s face, which had been turned towards the Martins, turned completely towards me.

Watching the king’s pupils slowly expand, I applied external force to my left arm.

‘do.’

The left arm, which had not been regenerated since being cut off by the king, freely dwells in external forces.

I’m sure.

Now I am a king and a whistle, no, more than that.

shaaa-

Arms appear vaguely like illusions in the part that was cut off, but soon become a reality.

I stretched out my freed arms toward the king.

Kwak Kwah Kwah-

The terrible external force that had destroyed not only the king but also my body poured forward through the palm of my hand.

Even a king would not be able to withstand this power. The moment he thought so, he leaned back completely. The spaces that swirled around him came together to create a door. He fell through the door as he lay down.

“huh.”

Without hesitation, I sprinted after him through the door.

I had no intention of missing this opportunity.

center of the universe.

The fighting had ceased.

The number of foreigners who were killed by the king while standing in line to the hole was greater than those who died here, so the Atloans were confused and could not continue the war.

In response, Martin’s side also stopped attacking.

Their purpose is to prevent outsiders from entering the ‘star’ universe.

Now that the foreigners have stopped, there was no reason to continue the war by attacking them.

The confrontation that started like that.

Foreigners and Martin waited.

I just waited, leaving everything about this war to the king and Martin.

After a while, a group emerged through the hole.

It was Pedro and the children.

Fearing that the war might resume, Roden’s superhumans quickly approached them.

The swordsman frowned as he saw Aline sitting on Pedro’s back.

“Why is Aline doing this?”

Through the breath he could feel, Sword Master knew that Arlene was not dead. The strange thing is that Aline has lost her mind even though she doesn’t show any trauma.

Pedro called all the Supermen and Transcendentalists together and explained what was happening outside.

Latun hardened his face.

“Isn’t that very dangerous?”

“Yes… … .”

A limit is literally a limit.

It is impossible to overcome in itself, and it is impossible to overcome in ordinary cases.

Time is not on Martin’s side, as he will continue to fight.

“We should do something, too.”

At Latun’s words, the people there, especially the specialized superhumans, went into trouble. Like Arlene, I wanted to find a trait that could help Martin and pass it on.

However, such characteristics were not common.

Flames, thunderbolts, illusions, summoning phantom beasts, etc.

The superhumans here were chosen by Martin, so they all had rare and powerful characteristics, but those things could only be realized with external force anyway.

“There are so many talented people here, but they can’t even help Martin who is fighting alone… It hurts.”

“I am really helpless.”

Then Ramune opened his mouth.

“My juniors keep disappearing and appearing again and again. Even if we look for traits that will be useful to our juniors, I don’t think we will be able to tell the story at this rate.”

“You can use external force.”

“Even if you use external force, the same will happen. They seem to have disappeared and reappeared in space.”

“Well… … .”

In a serious atmosphere, a young man who had been lost in thought all this time raised his arm and asked.

“Is the king of Atlo a bad guy?”

It’s a really stupid question.

Latun tilted his head and asked again.

“Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”

Young man, Colsen replied.

“Because my characteristic is ‘one who fights against evil’. I get stronger when I fight bad guys, so I wondered if it might be of some help to Master.”

The faces of those who were listening brightened.

“Five… … .”

“Something like that would definitely help!”

“The question is, is the king a wicked man… What is the standard for dividing good and evil?”

At someone’s question, Colsen shook his head.

“I don’t know. What is certain is that people who are treated as villains are almost 100% likely to be bad guys. It’s because the character has been revealed.”

“Well… … .”

“It’s ambiguous… … .”

Colsen’s age is 20 at most. How many times have you met a villain? The sample was too small to say anything.

Then Loki opened his mouth.

[The king said that he had ruled the universe for a long time. with power too. If a guy like that is good, that would be rather strange.]

“that… That makes sense.”

As the atmosphere improved at Loki’s words, Lamune brought up the story he was talking about earlier and lit a candle.

“The problem is, even if it is, how do you inform your juniors about it? The ‘connection’ is connected and disconnected several times in a second, and sending a message in this situation is close to impossible.”

As sighs flowed from here and there, someone approached them and said,

[If that’s the case, I think I can solve it.]

Pedro greeted the owner of the voice with a friendly face.

“Kater.”

After making a prototype model of the universe, after falling down and waking up, Cater, who came to the center of the universe, bowed his head to Pedro and said,

[Me and that guy are always connected.]

* * *

bang!

kudeudeuk-

One punch tore a hole in space, and me and the king’s body were sucked into it.

[Keah!]

The king writhes in pain.

I closed the distance with him and continued to drive.

bang! bang! bang!

He cried out and coughed up blood.

[Why can’t I play it!]

‘It’s probably because my external power is higher than yours right now.’

Earlier, I hadn’t been able to regenerate the arm that had been severed by him. Now it’s just the opposite.

For a guy who has lived as a king all his life, this must be an unknown situation that he has never experienced before.

His eyes were constantly shaking in pain and bewilderment.

But I couldn’t say that the situation was as good as it was.

No, it was worse if it was worse than him, I couldn’t say it was better.

‘it’s tough… … .’

Out of bounds, I was a bit stronger than the king.

Furthermore, after succeeding in an attack close to a surprise attack and continuing the situation with a subsequent linked attack, the gap was widened a little more.

But I didn’t have one decisive shot.

Even if I could damage him and cause him pain, I couldn’t end his life.

So time was not on my side.

pop!

An explosion occurred near the shoulder and exploded.

It wasn’t something like a counterattack from the king. It’s just that my body couldn’t handle the external force radiating out and exploded.

But I didn’t have time to look over my shoulder. Then, if the flow of attack is slowed even a little, all of this will fail.

Did you say sign position?

My situation was exactly like that.

I couldn’t stop here.

Pak!

It sounds different from what I’ve heard so far.

Anxiety creeps up.

‘It’s blocked.’

He was the first to block my attack, and just like that, the flow stopped.

Is it a coincidence? Or has he adapted to me?

In any case, it’s not good for me.

I decided to push myself a little harder.

Hwaaa-

My body sucks in the external force of the universe again.

Just as the body itself became an external force cylinder, it fully contains and compresses the external forces of the universe.

“Kuk!”

Having crossed the limit twice already, I hurriedly crossed it once more.

The situation I faced was not good.

If I don’t kill him now, I will die.

‘I can’t die alone.’

one minute at most.

This is the time when my body can maintain its shape while embracing this enormous power.

Kill him in it and I will die too.

‘I’ll leave the rest to my father.’

Except for me and the king, my father is the strongest.

Now that the king’s first-class outsiders, who could be said to be his aides, have all been annihilated by the king, there is no outsider who can compete with his father.

If there’s one thing that gets in the way, it’s that the superhumans and transcendents of our universe only consume external forces but can’t fill them up, but in the end, my father will find a way.

“Suck!”

Finally.

I sent an external force to them fighting in the center of the universe through the string of fate.

hope they can win

pop!

Once again, there was an explosion, and the arm that was dangling from the shoulder was completely torn off.

But nothing.

Even if it wasn’t for that, my body was already collapsing from the moment I crossed the limit once more.

pass-

Scattering the powder of the body, it rushed at the king.

The king, who had regained some stability while blocking my attack, trembled and hurriedly tried to distance himself from me.

But you can’t run away from me.

bang!

He blocked my fist with his remaining arm. However, the body of the weak bastard just exploded.

And I laughed

[This crazy guy… … .]

The king’s face twisted.

What he’s looking at right now isn’t his broken arm, it’s my arm… It was my arm that burst along with his arm because I couldn’t overcome my own strength.

[Why are you doing this!]

bang!

Legs collided with legs and exploded at the same time.

I continued the attack and answered indifferently.

“Because you said you would kill everyone.”

bang!

A collision between the remaining legs.

Both of them exploded this time without a doubt.

With this, he and I lost all limbs.

“Is there one left?”

[This crazy… … .]

I smiled at the king who looked at me with a tired expression.

All that remains is the head.

[Now, wait!]

“why? Do you have something to say?”

once it stopped

I can still hold on for a few more tens of seconds, and there is no chance that anything will change now, but to be honest, it was a bit regretful that it ended like this.

“I don’t give you time to organize your thoughts like you did. So, if you have any last words, say them.”

[Come with me!]

“… Didn’t he say he would survive alone and create a new universe?”

[You deserve to be with me! How about splitting the universe in half and managing each one?]

A bloody laugh came out.

‘Was he only this much?’

Disappointing.

I’d rather just end it without a conversation.

There is only one thing I can say to him in this situation.

“Don’t be ugly.”

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand the king’s appearance like that.

Having lived as a real ruler of the universe for billions of years, he’s probably never met a real competitor except me, so it’s not strange that he looks like a flower in a greenhouse.

But to understand is to understand, how would I feel to see him like that?

I suppressed my regret for the one who had been my only nemesis for a long time.

I didn’t want to see him become more miserable, so I immediately raised my strength.

“Keugh… … .”

I opened the bolt of the door that had controlled the influx of external force so far to slow the disintegration of the body.

Hwaaa-

The surrounding space burst out continuously, and the space that embraced the king and I was constantly changing.

Even the real universe cannot handle this force.

[you you… … !]

The king wriggles like a bug and tries to escape, but he is less than 1m away.

This space itself, where he and I are already, is under my control, so there is no escape unless I allow it.

Now it’s a situation where you can end everything with just one bump.

But I keep getting hesitant.

‘too bad.’

Before being trapped in the center of the universe, he lived for many years, and even returned twice in the universe of ‘Star’ and lived a life without regrets in his own way, but it is still regrettable to die.

“Well… … .”

I shook my head as I saw hope in the king’s eyes looking at me.

“Don’t expect it.”

I can’t go back now, so you must die now.

‘let’s go.’

That’s how I was about to throw myself at him.

“You can’t kill me yet!”

Carter’s message floated before my eyes.
