Chapter 753 - Day and Night (3)

Of course, the phenomenon caused by Jeong-woo wasn’t the Heavenly Demon Reigning Step of Allforone/Vivasvat. They looked similar, but the process of activating the power was entirely different. However, it was true Jeong-woo was inspired by Allforone’s skill. Putting pressure on a designated area to stop people from moving and having total control…

When Jeong-woo had climbed to the seventy-seventh floor to find the elixir, he gained a lot of inspiration from Allforone. The world he saw through his dragon eyes was extremely different from the world he was stepping on.

Now that he had reached a level of capability, now that he had gained a great holy divinity, Jeong-woo attempted to use the new Heavenly Demon Reigning Step he’d reinterpreted to tie down the army of Perished Gods.

[The property applied to your dominated territory has changed to ‘Restriction!’]

[The property flourishes!]

[The property of ‘Restriction’ had changed to ‘Absolute Rule!’]

[The property is applied!]

[The property is applied!]

[The power of Quirinale shines brilliantly!]

[The restrictive power becomes stronger!]

[You have discovered similarities to the uninterpretable power ‘Reigning Step!’]

The army of Perished Gods was no longer able to move. A few even began to shake like they were unstable and crumbled to pieces.

『Huh!』

『It was…possible…to copy the Reigning Step? Even though he isn’t related to the Heavenly Demon?』

『Even if he’s the sun of Day and descendant of Quirinale, this is too much…!』

[‘The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young’ enlarges her body warily in case the Heavenly Demon has suddenly appeared.]

[‘The Source of Uncleanliness’ expresses strong hostility toward the being who activated the Reigning Step!]

[‘The Green Flame’ warns not to touch the being without caution since he’s the dim-witted father’s younger brother!]

[‘Night (Nox)’ suddenly isn’t able to differentiate between friend and foe and turns confused!]

The beings of Day seemed taken aback as well because they didn’t know what to make of the situation. Even if they were a part of Day and knew of Metatron and Baal’s maintenance, the Heavenly Demon was hard to forgive. The Heavenly Demon had trapped the free beings inside the Tower and forced them to live imprisoned. He was their enemy of enemies.

The same went for the beings of Night. They held long-standing grudges against the Heavenly Demon for always disrupting their dim-witted father from waking up.

And with Jeong-woo copying the ability that symbolized the Heavenly Demon, the resolve of many was shaken. They doubted whether the Heavenly Demon Reigning Step could be copied in the first place. No matter how different the process of activation, the results shown were exactly the same!

Now, they were all able to realize truly how great Jeong-woo’s talent was. Yeon-woo always grumbled about Jeong-woo’s talent buff, and they now understood. Simply by reading Rhea’s Soul Code, Jeong-woo had learned Quirinale and raised his own level, making unbelievable accomplishments with just a few teachings.

『That kind of shocking talent… Perhaps it wasn’t too far of a stretch that he was the object of envy for all the beings living in the Tower!』

『To be exact, the sun of Day wasn’t meant for a small stage like the Tower, but a vast place like this outside world!』

Mastering magic within a few years of entering the Tower and providing simulations of the Tower in the pocket watch was something a mortal should never have been able to do. However, their shock didn’t end there.

[The Heavenly Demon puts down the book he was reading and looks carefully below.]

『…!』

『…!』

『…!』

The Heavenly Demon, who just watched on when the Tower he created crumbled down and didn’t appear when his son died, was finally revealing his will.

There wasn’t a change in atmosphere or some kind of miracle. It was just a message, but that alone was enough to make all the beings in the darkness become silent.

[The Heavenly Demon smiles wryly.]

[The Heavenly Demon says this is pretty incredible.]

[The Heavenly Demon says this dream’s Opponent is quite admirable.]

There was a deep silence. It was something even Jeong-woo, who copied the Reigning Step, wasn’t able to predict, so he stared blankly at the message for a while.

[The Heavenly Demon says the Opponent is still far from completely copying him.]

[The Heavenly Demon says he’s grateful that you understood his son, and that he will give you a gift since you have woken up.]

[The Heavenly Demon’s power has been delivered.]

[It is added to the properties of ‘Reigning Step!’]

[The properties of Great Bear and Seven Stars are combined.]

Whoosh! Seven dots that made a dipper shape appeared on Jeong-woo’s hand. Tamrang, Gumun, Nokjon, Mungok, Yumjung, Gok, Pagun… The tattoo of the Big Dipper shined brightly, giving Jeong-woo immense holy power.

“…!” Jeong-woo felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that almost made him lose consciousness. He had already exceeded his limits after taking in his vestige body, but he had once again surpassed new limits.

[Your level increases.]

[Your level increases.]

[Current state: Gwanghua (brilliant light)]

[The Heavenly Demon’s blessing follows you!]

[A new title ‘Opponent’ has been given to you.]

Jeong-woo felt the resistance at his fingertips decreasing. With the Heavenly Demon’s blessing, his ability in controlling space had been enhanced. To be exact, instead of mimicking the Reigning Step, he could use it for himself directly. It might not be the Reigning Step Allforone or the Heavenly Demon used, but it was a power on that level.

‘Why me…?’ Jeong-woo was glad to be acknowledged by the Heavenly Demon, but he felt wary at the same time. Yeon-woo was a part of the Black King, who stood on opposite ends with the Heavenly Demon. But the Heavenly Demon had given Jeong-woo power that opposed Yeon-woo’s… The power that should’ve gone to Allforone had been given to Jeong-woo. ‘What does this mean?’

However, Jeong-woo had to stop thinking there. Whatever the Heavenly Demon intended, in the end, he was the one using the power. Since he had free will, he would be the one to decide how it was used. Jeong-woo despised his fate being controlled by someone else just as in the past.

So, Jeong-woo summoned the same amount of holy power into his right hand. When the power of Quirinale was embedded, a new space appeared. The symbol of the seven stars on the back of his hand shined again.

[You have dominated a new space!]

[‘Floating’ has been applied to the territory!]

『This is…?』

『Hm? Is he trying to give us power this time?』

Eros. Gives. Power.

Heavenly. Demon’s Power.

Accept. Can. We.

The beings of Day and Night widened their eyes. Unlike the area of the Perished Gods, the space around them had become lighter. Their holy power was stronger than ever.

Jeong-woo had put pressure on his enemies and given strength to his allies. The beings of Day and Night, who had been slowly contaminated by darkness whether they knew it or not, were able to use their powers more smoothly to attack the army.

Dududu. The army of Perished Gods was pushed back. They were being returned to the cracks beyond the darkness where they came from.

Impossible…! Sage exclaimed in shock for the first time after seeing the sight. Even if the Heavenly Demon blessed him, he allowed the use of the Reigning Step too?

Having fought against the Heavenly Demon his entire life, Sage was shocked. There had been no case when an Opponent was this blatantly protected. If they had, wouldn’t the number of past dreams be significantly different?

The Heavenly Demon respected free will, and he didn’t like that the world was influenced by powerful beings like him. But he had given his everything, the Reigning Step… Sage didn’t understand. Regardless…

[The spring of time spins intensely!]

What…?!

Control of space was already carried out by Jeong-woo, who was using the powers of Quirinale and Reigning Step. And when Yeon-woo combined the powers of Pneuma on top of it, the time surrounding the darkness became faster, and speed was added to the slowed world.

[Pneuma reveals the properties of ‘Fixed Time’ and ‘Past, Present, and Future.’]

[Quirinale reveals the properties of ‘Emptiness’ and ‘Space!’]

[Latitude and longitude have intertwined!]

Just as strings intertwined vertically and horizontally to create a tight material, latitude and longitude were required to create the universe. The two domains that symbolized these two powers were Pneuma and Quirinale, so they were the most important factors of each dream.

This was the reason why Sage and the other egos of the Black King had been very regretful of their loss of Pneuma and Quirinale. Without the core of the dream and wheel, the dream they dreamed of would never be perfect. In the end, it had to be repeated again and again as the Heavenly Demon wished.

But these two factors were now combined against Sage. The Heavenly Demon, who had been silent until now, appeared to make a single move. It was an elaborate move that flipped the board Sage had been scheming.

Heavenly Demon…! Is this what you’ve been hiding?! Sage exuded furious letters. He hadn’t shown any emotion no matter what happened, but he couldn’t do that now. Latitude and longitude had both gone over to the other side. They were both displaying their outstanding power against him. There was no sharper blade than that.

No matter how Sage managed and maintained darkness, if he didn’t drop Yeon-woo away from it, there was nothing he could do. Most importantly, the combined efforts of the twin brothers were astonishing. Everything flowed so smoothly and naturally that he couldn’t block it.

The army of Perished Gods continued to be pushed back until they reached the cracks they had come from, and Sage’s darkness repeatedly swelled high then fell back down.

Fwoosh! Just when Sage was struggling, Yeon-woo disappeared from in front of him.

[The spring of time spins intensely as fast as it can!]

No, to be exact, Yeon-woo had moved so fast that Sage, who was preoccupied with Jeong-woo, missed his movements. Hup! Then, Yeon-woo appeared right behind Sage.

Sage sensed Yeon-woo and turned around, but Yeon-woo was already stabbing Scythe into Sage’s heart with a cold smile. “Die now, since you were able to do what you wanted all this time.”

Pwek! Scythe’s sharp blade impaled Sage’s body and came out on the other side.

[The spring of death spins at its fastest speed!]

Errrrrng. With the sound of an invisible spring being wound, dark black shadows spread from where Scythe was thrust in.

[Death is forcefully transferred onto your designated opponent!]

[‘Starvation of Death’ has commenced.]

[‘Execution of Death’ has commenced.]

[‘Poison of Death’ has commenced.]

[‘Freezing of Death’ has commenced.]

Sssssss.
