Episode 135.
The one who was pushed in the first clash was surprisingly Jung Si-woo.
“Well, wouldn’t you look at this?”
[Kuoooooo!]
The teddy bear giggled as if to say if that was that all I got. However, Jung Si-woo had surely figured it out. At the moment of the collision with him, the external particulates were scattered to reduce the impact by quickly protruding the ones on standby behind him. Of course, hundreds of teddy bears died since he couldn’t stop all of it, but it was surprising that it only ended to that extent.
“I can’t believe a mere monster has such advanced technology…”
“Oppa, the other teddy bears from both sides!”
“I know!”
Although he was pushed back, he wasn’t injured. The shock was mostly concentrated on the Devil Lord’s Punishment. Even those were largely eliminated by the vibration on the Obsidian Moonstone powder on the surface of the hammer. He made the Phantom Bike soar upward to escape the teddy bears rushing in from both sides, aiming for him who had stopped still in the air. A few Critical Bullets fired to keep them in a check made dozens of particulates spring into the air like blood.
[Will capture it! Will absorb it!]
[Kuooooooo!]
The crown teddy bear gave short instructions to the other teddy bears. They surprisingly led the giant to leap into the air. From what was heard, they seemed to think that they would absorb Jung Si-woo once they had captured him and pushed him inside.
“Who do you think I am!”
“I thought you’d tell you that joke, but now isn’t a good time, Oppa!”
At that moment, Jung Si-woo disabled the hammer’s Gigantification and quickly plunged the Phantom Bike again. When his form suddenly fell from the air, two teddy bears floating in the air tried to catch him but could only chase him with their eyes. Jung Si-woo quickly went around behind them and aimed the hammer at those falling from the sky, flailing their arms. And he proceeded without hesitation, fully aware that what he was going to do was crazy.
“Go…shoot!”
He did so to mix the power of Combat Charge and Hard Strike to inject it into the hammer as he simultaneously enlarged the hammer.
“Eo-oooooaaaaaargh!”
[Kuaaaaaawk!]
[Coug-aaaaaargh!]
At that very moment, the screams of Jung Si-woo and two giant teddy bears rang out in unison to fill the village of teddy bears. The reason why Jung Si-woo had only used the “small” version of the Gigantification so far was none other than that it was impossible to hold and swing as much he would like even if he used Super Strength.
And in that situation, what would have happened now that he summoned the large version? The gross weight that was hard to bear even with both his hands was delivered through the handle and caused him pain! However, the effect of the attack that was carried out to such an extent was indisputable. The hammer’s surface, which turned large as much as the length, had sprung forward, and the two giant teddy bears weren’t able to resist in the air and were beaten by the hammer blast.
[Kooiiik!]
“The bear is flying!”
“You really joke without getting tired!”
Tremendous thrust, overwhelming attack force! A blow enough to break the two teddy bears’ bodies in mid-air had caused an additional effect. Since they were attacked by the hammer that still had the poison power, the property propagated among the particulates beaten by it. The teddy bears that were struck by the attack were divided into countless corpses.
If observed from a different direction, it could only be seen as a scene that hundreds of thousands of bullets carrying poison and flame were pouring in from the front. And, of course, in the direction of those bullet bombardments was the crowned super-massive teddy bear, with countless other regular teddy bears.
[T-the citizens.]
He moved his body while baffled, but there was no place to hide in front of the wave of bullets. Eventually, he had no choice but to carry out the technique he had performed against Jung Si-woo’s attack once again. Still, when the status anomaly took place as he was attacked, the look of it as it shook off its particulates seemed heartless. But as a result, when all the bullets had worked their effects off, his size was reduced to two-fifths when he first appeared.
“Woah, only now do our levels match.”
[You bastard…]
He scattered the particulates to reduce the damage and avoid the status effect. It’s an effective way to win the battle as the king of legions. However, the method wasn’t so good to use in front of hundreds of thousands of bullets shot out by Jung Si-woo.
“Using a legion to break down a legion, you are wise indeed.”
“You’re scaring me to death, very.”
Jung Si-woo’s attack didn’t end with eliminating two giant teddy bears and weakening the king. The bullets that failed to strike the teddy bear king fell in all directions with fire and poison and spread to teddy bears who weren’t yet in battle or to teddy bears who had just joined together. Certainly, in this situation, poison and flame are more effective than a curse of lightning. Although the rank was only B+, for those weaklings who did not reach level 300 as an individual, just one breath was more than a fatal status effect that directly led to a life-or-death situation.
[I will make you, bastard, a part of our army by all means!]
“Ceaseless fighting spirit, I like it.”
Jung Si-woo confronted him again, as Soo Ah-rin healed his cracked palm that tore because he had held on to the overly Gigantified hammer. The Devil King’s Punishment had returned to the small version.
“I wonder if I’ll be pushed back again this time.”
[Fusion!]
The teddy bears which hadn’t been infected flocked to rebuild the king’s body. Of course, it wasn’t Jung Si-woo who would sit still and let it be. He picked up the hammer and swung as if he was sweeping the floor, hitting the little teddy bears scattered all over the place again and resulting in them flying off. The corpses of the dead teddy bear became bullets to attack their once colleagues in a truly tearful sight.
“I don’t know who the villain is here…”
“Then let’s get it on!”
Jung Si-woo, who charged with the giant hammer, and the king of Teddy Bear clashed again! Teddy Bear, who raised one arm to block the hammer striking down from the top, raised his paw and kicked Jung Si-woo. In Jung Si-woo’s ears, as he activated Dragon Senses, he heard the cry of teddy bears gathered at the tip of that paw.
[We’re going to be one!]
A chill passed down his spine. It couldn’t be that it was a lie that it was the god of the legion, but the true identity was Metimoa that ruled over the Chimera. Of course, Jung Si-woo, who the Chimera couldn’t even swallow, would never be swallowed up by this sham legion…
“But wouldn’t he need to go through such a nasty experience!”
The advantage of the Gigantification hammer was that its size conversion was free! Jung Si-woo, who quickly reduced the hammer’s size and retracted it, made the hammer huge again and struck the enemy’s foot. With a terrible roar, hundreds of particulates died once again.
[You can’t even challenge my authority unless you defeat them all. Do you want me to tell you a piece of good news? They multiply. This world is already half mine. Stranger, there’s no way you can win.]
The middle-aged lady whispered back to him. Jung Si-woo snorted at the voice. The fact that the teddy bears were proliferating was already half-realized, sensing the new Mana buds sprouting from the village center whenever the bodies of the already dead teddy bear disappeared.
“This will only increase my experience.”
Killing those little teddy bears wouldn’t help Jung Si-woo’s growth. But if they were all reinforcing the ones included in the Teddy Bear King, and if he could repeatedly kill them to grow the Core Mana Stone the Teddy Bear King carried…
“I wonder at what level he’ll end up dead.”
[Such a Dragon’s Successor-worthy thing to say…it was indeed an excellent choice to send them to Earth. Make me laugh a little more.]
The god of the legion laughed with great joy. That was inevitable. Even if Jung Si-woo took down the Teddy Bear King, she had a country established by human subordinates that occupied the world, and even if the country collapsed, countless other worlds under her control remained intact. No matter how heroic Jung Si-woo acted now, it could never give a further impression than an ant without personality, showing unusual behavior.
At least not yet. Two hours later, Jung Si-woo perfectly killed the Teddy Bear King and leveled up twice. It was possible since, at some point, his rate of destruction exceeded the rate at which teddy bears were produced. Even when the King died, teddy bears were born very slowly, but they could never build the same power as before since Jung Si-woo collected the crown that was their symbol.
[You’ve won in the end. I can’t wait for the moment you face my human subordinates…]
Jung Si-woo fundamentally blocked the voice of the god flowing out from the crown. He was now quite used to using his extortion ability. The only thing left there was a crown carrying enormous power.
“Alright, what a steal.”
“Her voice was very loud, and I’m glad you could block it.”
“You’re growing to become more and more casual, too, sunbae-nim.”
He even collected the Mana Stone left by the Teddy Bear King neatly. It was about 30% larger than the Mana Stone recovered before. There were some of the Mana Stones of teddy bears that they knocked down earlier, so they had practically already secured four giant Mana Stones in this world.
“Well…would there be other places in this world like this teddy bear colony?”
“Even if there is, there wouldn’t be a lot of them, would it? The god of the Legion is not a fool, so I don’t think it would spill her power everywhere.”
“Oh, it indeed seems so.”
As Jung Si-woo suddenly said that, he pulled the party together as he activated his stealth ability. Shortly after that, a group composed of dozens of people entered the colony of teddy bears.
“I never thought it would be in a place like this…doesn’t Düsenne-nim have a truly sick hobby? She means to make her subordinates compete with each other to decide who would be the master of power.”
“Don`t question her will. She’s only looking for a more suitable agent to rule the legion.”
“I-I’m sorry, Kenato-nim.”
They were emitting quite a powerful force. Especially, the human who was giving out commands at the center was at least of a strength that never existed on Earth. Even if nobody called him Kenato, Jung Si-woo would have quickly recognized who he was.
“Indeed, so that’s what happens when a god blesses someone of level 300.”
“Weren’t you planning to fight him if the opportunity allowed?”
How come Jung Si-woo concealed as soon as he found them? And why couldn’t he find him just because he had hidden? At Soo Ah-rin’s question, Jung Si-woo replied with a shrug.
“We’ve had enough of the power of the god of the Legion. Furthermore, it is simple to hide from the energy when I have already gained their holy item. Just because it’s concealment, it’s not all of the same kind.”
“Hmm, you’re indeed full of yourself.”
“Moreover, I don’t really like going on a stage that someone else has made. You should avoid what you can.”
It wasn’t a coincidence that they came here just at this timing. They were able to recognize this place because, in the aftermath of Jung Si-woo’s atrocities, the barrier protecting Red Tibade’s habitat was breached.
“No, how come the monsters are-!?”
“Although there’s only a little left, this isn’t enough at all. All the more, I can’t see the holy treasure!”
“C-could this means that it was robbed by someone else in that short time…!”
“There is no way that Düsenne-nim told a lie. Perhaps the other gods were trying to sabotage us.”
And the god of the legion, who wanted to have Jung Si-woo fight with Kenato, probably took advantage of the opportunity and spoke to Kenato. That was clear, seeing them mentioning the god’s name.
“If we kill them here as well, there is a possibility that the influence of the god of the Legion will fall behind other gods. The god of the Legion is indeed annoying, but if we let other gods prevail, it will eventually affect the Earth.”
“Have you been thinking about it to such an extent?!”
“That’s why.”
Now that he had defeated the influence of the god of the Legion, shall he reduce the power of the god of Fire? Soo Ah-rin couldn’t help but only smirk at Jung Si-woo’s remarks about directing the gods’ war by himself.
“The god of Fire…I’m sure it’s their fault. Look at these scorch marks!
“Kenato-nim!”
“…We’re returning. I’ll have to find and kill all those who dare to touch what’s mine.”
Jung Si-woo waved off Kenato’s group, who turned around without ever finding him, and similarly escaped and drove his bike in the other direction. There was a grandfather-like smile hanging around his mouth. A week later, Jung Si-woo, who broke down the god of fire’s subordinates by just a little bit, as he declared himself, leisurely crossed over to Earth.
His level had reached 145.
