The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 370
God stood in front of me.
Equal or slightly superior to oneself….
The moment I thought of such a thought without even realizing it, the demon laughed.
Is it superior? Did you think that?
He existed as a god from the beginning.
This is the self that has existed so far.
But it wasn’t a bad idea.
Because it’s real.
The Demon God was still arrogant, but he recognized Mikhail as much as he was arrogant.
Because even the arrogant man acknowledged that Mikhail had completely reached God.
How long have you been feeling like this?
He was desperate now.
But at the same time I felt joy and I also felt sadness.
‘Is this real?’
sense of existence.
Ironically, the Demon God was feeling ‘reality’ at the moment when all of his plans went awry and collapsed.
How much do you really feel?
The soul that had stopped long ago was beating again.
Kwadeuk!
The two bumped into each other without saying who was first. It’s just fists clashing.
God is inherently a perfect being.
Excessive leftovers are meaningless. Because every action itself is so powerful and perfect that no other tricks are needed.
Currently, Mikhail’s body contains the universe and the stars and is infinite.
But at the same time it was finite.
Infinite, but it was infinite with an end.
【You’ve become a god at best, but did you set your own limits? Mikhail.]
“Is there any reason not to do that?”
With those words, Mikhail pulled his arm back as far as he could.
It looks like a simple attack, but each of them contained a crushing ceremony to destroy the opponent’s soul.
Once again fists collide.
Wow!
The entire space-time vibrated.
The battle between the two gods brought order and destruction in itself, destroying and creating countless things.
it was indispensable.
I don’t know, but there must be a lot of confusion in the world of humans down there.
Of course it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if all of humanity disappears, but what’s so big about a little chaos?
and….
【You are also the same.】
Kwakdeuk.
The drinker laughed.
【No, should we say that it has become the same?】
At the point when he completely cast off his humanity, Mikhail completely got away from the human way of thinking.
Faith and will still move him, but now it’s not because of attachment to my old ties.
Although the direction was different, the existence in front of my eyes was now God.
beings on an equal footing with oneself.
I enjoy that fact.
The loneliness I had to feel for so long is over.
But that’s what made me sad.
Because the loneliness that ended like that might come back again.
【Should we really see the end!】
From the devil’s point of view, at this rate, whether he wins or loses, there is nothing he can gain.
If you didn’t see the possibility from the beginning, you wouldn’t know, but the existence in front of your eyes now has become equal to yourself.
The ‘possibility’ that I so longed for was right in front of my eyes.
But give up?
It can’t be.
but.
“You are misunderstanding one thing.”
Mikhail looked at him and held the spear with a cold voice.
“This is the only option we had in the first place.”
【I must have made an offer to you! I would understand now. If your convictions and will are unmixed with emotions, you will surely make a better choice…!】
“This is the best.”
Mikhail closed his eyes for a moment.
The emotions in his memories are now faint, but he has not forgotten his true nature.
It was done with faith and will.
The belief and determination to destroy the demons and return freedom to mankind.
He never forgets that ‘essence’.
Therefore, no matter what the devil suggested, the god Mikhail could not be destroyed.
Kwadeuk.
Grabbing the fist that was being fired at him, Mikhail burrowed into the arms of the demon god.
Then strike a blow
【Big black…?!]
The balance collapsed in an instant.
At that moment, the demon realized.
‘The gap with the bastard.’
At some point, the gap widened.
As a god, he knew that if they clashed with each other with the same rank, human skills and magic would be meaningless.
But now this situation….
【Now what are you….]
“It is the martial arts of the king Muhyul.”
Without containing any emotions, Mikhail calmly told the truth.
humanity.
The power of colleagues with Mikhail.
【Only human technology….】
“I came all the way here for that.”
to prove.
There was more meaning to what mankind has done than you thought. Today’s Mikhail was nothing but a symbol to prove it.
And he declared
“To prove its worth.”
The battle started again.
A battle unlike any before.
* * *
Emotions are not gone.
As the demon said, if it was an emotion toward an ‘equal being’, it still resided in me.
If you drink it, it will be like that too.
That’s probably why they’re obsessed with me, who has become a god.
But if anything else.
‘I have no next.’
No longer can I continue either way. Unlike humans, I either live forever or disappear.
So I had no choice but to choose the latter. Now it can be seen that it is for humanity with will and faith.
but ages of eternity.
Can you be sure that the existence of ‘I’ does not change?
no it won’t
As time passed, Asar and Harmageddon, who were each other’s companions, also separated and became enmity.
I agree with what I said as a human being.
Anything can change.
even if it’s a god
So I had to cut myself off. want it or not.
In that respect, it can be said that it was an excellent choice for me, who was a human being, to take action on the soul in advance.
Anyway.
‘Beast King Muhyul’s martial arts.’
The beastman was an excellent martial artist and was technically the pinnacle of mankind.
As a human being before rewinding time, I had seen that martial art quite a bit. The current me is the aggregate of all those wills and beliefs.
It’s not just what I saw, but at that moment I can become ‘Muhyul’.
Simply put, the joints of the body move in the most suitable form for martial arts.
Are all of God’s actions perfect?
No matter what, there is room for improvement. In the first place, the word ‘perfect’ has no meaning when there is an equal being as an opponent.
Kwaaang!
【Big heck…!]
A martial arts strike pierced the Demon God.
The Demon God sighed and took a step backwards, then looked at the area that had been struck in disbelief.
【What are you doing now…!]
“There are countless things you can do.”
【Kuh…!]
At that moment, the demon seemed to sense something and distanced herself from me.
He looked at the stars around him for a moment, so he must have been thinking of doing something with them.
But it doesn’t matter.
Even if I open the distance, I have the means to intercept.
‘Jihad’s archery.’
Bows and arrows were created immediately. It is not at all difficult to ‘intercept’ a target as jihad.
The moment his hand touched the ‘star’ and he was about to do something with it.
Wedge!
I put up a protest.
The shot arrow pierced the man’s wrist. In an instant, the guy let out a scream with excruciating pain.
【Kuaaaaaaagh!】
“Human technology is also useful. If you change it to suit this side.”
As representative of humanity itself, the technology I use is inevitably superior to its ‘original’.
No wonder. because that’s god
And the moment I saw a gap in him, I immediately closed the distance and rushed.
This time, he created a sword instead of a bow and arrow and swung it as it was.
It wasn’t just whipped.
At that moment, based on the numerous variables flowing in the space and the demon’s response, he turned the sword path.
It resembled the one from when Siegfried used the holy sword.
At the same time, it resembles Eileen’s.
It was similar to Ryan’s.
Heavy sword and quick sword.
Chow ah!
A blow with both heaviness and speed swept the Demon God once.
【What is this…!]
The guy let out a saliva as he exhaled fresh blood at the same time as the excruciating pain.
The guy is very agitated.
But still, God is God.
He quickly sorted out his emotions and rushed at me.
I use my skills to fight him, but he’s good at wielding his natural strength. After all, ‘technology’ is also a means to effectively counter that innate power.
His strength cannot be ignored.
As if to prove him, the gripped arm twisted easily.
If the mighty god’s body twisted so easily….
Kwajik!
“Keuuugh!”
pulled out
Having become a one-armed person in an instant, I barely swallowed my moans and stumbled.
God is not without pain. To begin with, the pain was indescribable.
But it’s okay.
Immediately, the arm pulled by the demon disappeared and my arm was born.
My power is infinite, and my body is only constructed according to my needs.
It is the power of Saint Ariandel.
【Mikhail Walpurgis…!!]
The demon shouted my name and charged. He swung his recovered arm and wrapped magic around it.
Kwaaang!
This magic is similar to that of the butler Merdin.
Then, the trap prepared in advance caught the staggering leg.
That was Herma’s skill.
While I was distracted by the demon god’s continued attack, I started preparing separately.
【We are perfect and flawless by ourselves! You can’t win with the skill of such a creature…】
“So I told you.”
to prove
make final preparations
It was for this that he bought time by imitating the humans he had been with.
“done.”
Keying.
With those words, numerous texts centered on me were listed and I began to receive strength.
After learning magic, I always wondered what the ‘end’ of magic would be.
Where did it start and what does it mean?
I went back in time with it and changed a lot.
But I’ve never seen the ‘end’. I didn’t even have the ability to reach it back then….
But now I am different.
Now I am in the 10th circle.
The greatest master mage who has transcended the human species and finally reigned as a god.
Since God is perfect, there is no need for any other Zansu?
No way.
Whatever it is, there is a best way.
【no way…!]
The Demon God noticed something and desperately rushed towards me.
You’ll know what I’m trying to do.
【Stop it! Don’t you know what you’re trying to do!]
“I know.”
We need a little more time.
If that’s the case, the only choice is to collide with the demon. I clenched my fists as I faced the demon that rushed at me.
From here on out, it’s a battle of attrition.
It breaks and recovers endlessly.
It is only natural that the Demon God would somehow try to prevent the magic I prepared from being completed.
I must have had a hunch what I was going to do.
cried the bastard.
【Now you are trying to erase ‘God’! From all of this!】
“….”
That’s what it says.
Then I will disappear too.
little by little…Gods don’t die in an instant, so even if the magic is activated, wouldn’t it last for about 10 minutes?
He looked at me to the extent that I felt desperate.
【If that happens, don’t you know that not only me but also you will disappear! what does it mean…!]
“There is enough.”
I said as I grabbed the arm of the guy who was trying to block my magic somehow.
“Because that is my belief.”
It is the driving force that made me a god.
Could it be that there is no meaning?
【Even that belief has no meaning if you don’t exist! Who will remember what!]
“Everyone remembers.”
【…!]
He flinched at my words and rushed in earnest.
As if there was no reason to look at it now, it started to break me to the point where people said it was cruel.
I also fought back, but it wasn’t easy to block them all.
It was a time to earn by cutting the soul.
Even if my arm was pulled out, half of my face was crushed, and my leg was twisted, I did not give up my preparation.
Because it had to be.
Because I existed for that.
and….
【Ahhh….]
The magic was finally activated.
10 circles.
It’s the first time I’ve really used it. Truly, it’s the ultimate form of magic that can be used as a god.
Perhaps even greater than God itself….
“< Ending >.”
I put the name of the magic I prepared slowly into my mouth.
What a good name to end it all with.
Hwaaak!
The light fades away and darkness begins to hang around.
The curtain closed with the last magic.
And I could tell.
A new curtain will rise soon.
I won’t have any new stories.
