Chapter 276 - Trap – 1
Chapter 276: Trap – 1
#1
Facing that thing, it reminded Jaehwang of a Doppelganger. Of course, it’s not a real monster, it’s just one of the mythical monsters from Western fairy tales. But the funny thing was that it even copied Jaehwang’s vibe.
Jaehwang stared at his opponent silently, and his opponent stared at him too. It was Ruler who first opened his mouth, and the first word from his mouth was a very surprising word.
“Let’s talk.”
The words of Jaehwang were blocked at the moment. He speaks fluent Korean.
“What do you mean?”
“It is literally.”
Kugugugu …
The ground on which he was stepping up woke up and became like a chair.
“Sharing information. Sit down.”
Jaehwang sat in the chair as Ruler said. If he was not bothered by the scenery around them, they could be having a cup of tea.
“I apologize first.” Ruler bowed his head.
“Are you talking about an attack?”
“Yes, but correct your words. It was you who attacked first.”
It’s a little tedious for a ruler.
“I attacked first?”
“Yes. Isn’t it you who have invaded my world? ”
“Didn’t Dark Earth attack the Earth also? ” Jaehwang asked, and Ruler shrugged at his question.
“I am limited to being a dominant power. You can’t manage it all. That’s why I have never exercised control over things that have passed to Earth. ”
“It’s like the other one.”
“Okay.”
In response, Jaehwang shrugged.
“I apologize. I didn’t know the story would work,” Ruler said as Jaehwang bowed his head.
“By head down?”
“It is an expression of sorry.”
“Right.”
However, he bowed along with Jaehwang.
‘What is this? Isn’t he a strange guy?’
‘That’s shocking too. One thing is certain, he just seems curious about something new,’ Goongi said with an impatient voice.
And Jaehwang concluded that way. Ruler was curious, and there seemed to be some misunderstandings.
“Did you attack me because I attacked the monsters?”
“It’s both right and wrong. I was trying to rule you out.”
“Why?”
“isn’t it obvious. Think about what your humans did by entering my world. ”
“I don’t know,” Jaehwang answered. Ruler shook his head and clasped his hands. Then, the soil on one side writhed and made hundreds and thousands of figures. What they were doing was moving in the shape of monsters and people holding weapons. They got tangled up and started fighting.
He could see the bomb exploding, which soon produced a mushroom cloud.
Many monsters fell in the explosion.
“I did it to my world that you call Dark Earth.” In the words of Ruler, Jaehwang sighed.
If he looked at it, the reason why they were their enemy was clear.
There was no excuse. The Earth’s hunters came across to Dark Earth. Not all of the Dark Earth gates that have appeared so far have been closed. They were spying on them constantly. Whether it was for the purpose of preventing future monsters from appearing or for exploration, the hunters were put in and fought against the monsters.
From what the ruler had shown, it seemed that the nuclear bomb had been fired several times. No, it exploded quite a bit.
Thinking from the other side, it was enough to attack. That’s not what Jaehwang did though.
“But why are you trying to talk like this?”
“You guys felt like me. There are many such beings among my people, but you are the first to come from another dimension. So, I decided to talk.”
“You guys?” Jaehwang was a little surprised, what he just said was plural. It might be something he knew, or it might be a mistake in choosing a word.
Ruler said, hinting at the prospect of Jaehwang, “It’s about being in you. Am I wrong? ”
“… right,” Jaehwang admitted it. As Jaehwang nodded and looked curiously, Ruler said,
“There is something I’ve been wondering. Why did you go there? ”
“There?”
“It’s an ancient ruin. Didn’t you stand in front of the tower of Babel, guarding the ancient ruins like the man who came before? ”
“Tower of Babel… or do you know about the place you call ancient ruins?” Jaehwang was quite surprised. The words familiar from the earth came out.
Tower of Babel
A tower built by humans who challenged God in the Bible. Of course, he knew that the Bible itself was borrowed from the myths and writings of the Middle East, but he didn’t expect it to exist in the Dark Earth.
“Know this well. Isn’t it where the creators created the device to contain us here?” The ruler knew in detail quite a word.
His preconceptions about him were breaking.
“I knew that civilization here was completely gone. How did you know that? Jaehwang asked.
Then, the ruler in the shape of Jaehwang begins to writhe in pain. It turned into various colors as if it couldn’t overcome the turbulence.
“I’m the representative of everything… abandoned by the ancients.”

Ruler started talking.
It’s kind of a misnomer to call him a he. Would it be appropriate to think of it as a multiplexed person? Ruler said he was not a being. His body was one, but it consists of dozens and hundreds of personalities, combined and evolved over tens and thousands of years.
“The creators called me an experiment, the Eternal Immortal Experiment.”
Ruler was an eternal life. Eternal life was born in the hands of the ancient people. Just as humans in the past tried to create an AI that could think like humans, the ancients tried to create a transcendental eternal life by combining magic and biology.
The reason was the result of the efforts of the ancients to transform their bodies into transcendental eternal life as a way to escape the earth, which has been polluted by the explosive population and the indiscriminate use of nature. However, a problem occurred, it was used for war.
Ruler-like, but more aggressive and destructive beings were created one after another. War and conflict existed among the ancients. Among them, such as rulers continued to evolve, and they became more and more deadly, and at one point, they became uncontrollable.
The battle continued on an unimaginable scale on Earth.
The ancients, who had already advanced to the solar system, had to take extreme measures in fear of dying.
The late-minded ancients realized that they should no longer use destructive methods and brought out a prescription to separate them into dimensions. The ancients could hardly destroy them. They were no match for transcendental creatures capable of infinite evolution.
“We were left on earth to continue the war after their disappearance, in line with the intentions of our Creators. No one knows how much time has passed. All we knew was that we had to destroy the enemy, and after a long time I won.”
The story was pretty long.
It’s an ancient story that’s boring on the mystery bulletin board he had heard in the past, but it’s not boring at all because of the living evidence in front of him. In addition, Ruler was very good at speaking Korean.
“But you’re good at talking.”
“There were people who were caught by me who spoke the same language as you. I learned from them.”
“Right.”
Jaehwang shut up when he asked about human beings. He also lost interest in him. The result was obvious.
Perhaps the reason why Ruler has such a fluent skill was because of the knowledge he had drawn from the hunters who invaded Dark Earth. However, if the intelligence of the Dark Earth monsters were captured, humans would have been as cruel as they did.
And apart from that, Ruler’s thoughts were bound to be greatly modified.
“Then why did you go there?” The ruler’s question slowly opened his mouth. Perhaps Jaehwang could get things done without fighting.
Jaehwang began to explain things gradually. “By reactivating the dimensional stabilization device, we will stabilize the dimensions again.”
Ruler nodded when Jaehwang explained. “Right, are you trying to prevent the dimension from returning to its original form? ”
“Yeah.”
“Funny. As far as I know, your humans seemed to be very fond of aggression.”
“I can’t deny it, but not all of them are.”
The ruler nodded as if the ruler had agreed. Jaehwang was nervous. The explanation was over and now only Ruler’s judgment remains.
“It’s good information.”
And as the words ended, the ruler’s mood changed.
It felt like a completely different being. Jaehwang’s complexion was hardened by the change of ruler. The atmosphere was completely different and a strong wave of mana came at him.
“You had no idea at all,” Jaehwang said.
“Okay, why should I refuse the opportunity to get out of this boring and boring world and have new seeds of evolution?” Ruler sighed.
It was not within the expected range he thought. However, he only confirmed that the easiest way to solve everything was gone. The other person did not think about the peaceful way from the beginning
“You will regret it,” Jaehwang said, getting up from his seat.
But the Ruler only shrugs.
“My army has already begun to penetrate the Earth and without you, there seems to be nothing to stop my army. I’m trying to erase that uncertainty right here.”
Kung-kung … Kung-kung … Kung-kung …
“Kuwoooooo!”
“Krrrrrr!”
Along with a heavy rain, huge mountains rose at once. The enemies weren’t the only ones. The powerful beings coming from the depths of the earth were also countless.
“Are you trying to kill me here?”
“Yes, because you are dangerous and so interesting. I will become more complete by absorbing the existence of this world with the same power as me. But don’t blame me too. This was also the reason why I was born.”
After that, Ruler disappeared as if he was absorbed into the ground. All that remained were powerful monsters full of murderous intent against Jaehwang.
“Haa…” Jaehwang shook his head and took out his arrow.
Although he moved to the gate as close to the idea as possible, it seemed impossible to dodge the battle completely. Rather, it was a burden to go to the gate itself. Obviously, no less than a number of monsters are going to camp.
Shuwook …
Goongi appeared and stood by Jaehwang. Her expression was not very good either.
“He’s small-minded?”
“Yup,” Jaehwang replied and calmed himself. He wasn’t scared, but he’s excited.
The nature of the Godhead of Jaehwang was a phenomenon that occurs because of the battle.
“Tracking?” The answer to Jaehwang’s question was calmly answered.
“It’s over.” Jaehwang wasn’t just naive about the end of the conversation with Ruler peacefully.
When the ruler was talking to Jaehwang and was setting traps to catch Jaehwang, Goongi eagerly pursued the position of the ruler. She tried to find Ruler but it looked like she couldn’t.
“Your expression is not good?”
At the end of Jaehwang, Goongi shook her head.
“I’ll get out of here and tell you.”
“Okay, let’s just think about going back.” It’s hard to think about it now.
“It’s really the worst thing that you have to fight with a limited status,” said Goongi. As she said, this was a separate dimension from Earth.
Contrary to the battle with the old dragon, now he had to fight only with Jaehwang’s possession.
Solitary battles that only two and the guts were about to begin.
“But I have to go back to my house … ”
“Huh. I have to go. ”
Goongi and Jaehwang let out a sigh and slowly began to lift all their power.
