‘Is this what absolute power truly ans?’
Seol-Hwi’s eyes wavered. He was witnessing the source of Jang Dal’s imnse confidence firsthand.
It was indeed a power worthy of being called divine.
With just a flick of a finger, he had created individuals far stronger than the best in the martial world.
‘Even if I kill them, he will create more.’
Moreover, Jang Dal seed to have insight into his weaknesses.
No matter how much one ascends to the level of a Demon God, unlimited power is not attainable.
Also, using power that transcends nature has its limits on the human body, which he seed to be exploiting.
‘Wait, what is this?’
While contemplating a way out of this crisis, Seol-Hwi suddenly noticed sothing strange.
The created n lacked any sense of self.
Their vacant eyes and chanical movents were like that of mindless puppets.
“Now, show him your strength!”
At that mont, a figure with a human face slowly raised his hand.
Seol-Hwi quickly assud a defensive stance, but sothing unexpected happened.
Instead of emitting energy like Jang Dal, it was an entirely different form of attack.
‘What is this?’
The scene he first witnessed was a distortion of the air around the man.
The space twisted like a heat haze and began to vibrate.
‘……!’
As he wondered what it was, a change began beneath Seol-Hwi’s feet.
The ground suddenly rippled like water and swiftly transford into a sticky sli that started to engulf his body.
Like a living creature, the sli coiled around his legs.
‘What on earth….’
Before Seol-Hwi could regain his senses, a second transformation occurred.
As soon as a gray mist that ca from sowhere touched his clothes, it turned into tal and pressed down on him.
It was an imnse weight, making it difficult even to breathe.
‘What on earth are these things…….’
That wasn’t all. When another man flicked his fingers in the air, the sight caught Seol-Hwi’s attention, and the air turned into a mucus-like substance, wrapping around his entire body. ṛά₦Ǒ₿Ęṧ
A suffocating pressure. And the pain that accompanied it suggested sothing was being inserted into his body.
‘The nature is changing.’
Experiencing this supernatural phenonon, Seol-Hwi imdiately realized.
They were completely defying the laws of nature and distorting reality.
No, they were even reconstructing reality itself.
‘Is this also a kind of power of chaos?’
Afterward, another figure approached slowly.
When he raised his hand to point at Seol-Hwi, everything around began to distort.
Sticky liquid and tal mixed, and even the sounds were distorted.
Finally, his vision blurred, making the boundary between reality and illusion ambiguous.
‘This is an environnt no human can escape from. But, he chose the wrong opponent.’
Seol-Hwi snapped back to his senses.
Although all these strange phenona are supernatural, they ultimately cannot surpass the power of the universe.
His eyes once again shone with a determined light.
“It’s all pointless nonsense.”
As words slipped from Seol-Hwi’s mouth, a subtle radiance began to spread from his body.
Softly, yet intensely, like the sky at dawn.
And so the transformation happened in an instant.
Sss—
First, as the qi of harmony seeped into the ground that had turned into a slimy substance underfoot, it began to revert to its original solid state.
The clothes that had turned into tal regained their soft fabric texture.
“Everything is bound to find its order again.”
Seol-Hwi took a deep breath and focused inward. Then, the power of harmony and order within him began to awaken slowly, confronting the chaotic illusions surrounding him.
The mixed colors found their places, and the distorted sounds beca clear.
Everything returned to its original state.
“Ooooooh.”
However, the attacks from them did not cease.
As everything returned to its place, a figure dashed forward.
The attack began anew.
‘What is this?’
Seol-Hwi’s eyes sharpened.
An endless stream of light was emanating from the person who had rushed out.
As the beam of light continued to expand, enveloping everything around, breathing beca impossible again.
This ti, rely the passage of light created a suffocating phenonon.
“Ooooooh!”
Simultaneously, another phenonon was being generated.
The eyes of a person standing over there turned into a deep abyss.
Everywhere his gaze landed, reality cracked, and through those gaps, the flow of ti began to branch infinitely.
Branches of infinite ti, where the past, present, and future existed simultaneously, filled the space.
The final destination of his gaze was Seol-Hwi.
‘What kind of absurdity is this now?’
As the ntal shock was inflicted, the remaining n began to band together.
And they began to recreate everything around them.
Boom!Boom!
The massive fire and ice walls that were generated.
It grew large enough to form a single mountain, but it didn’t stop there.
When the qi of the two combined, it created an explosive force truly formidable.
‘So this is what it ans to create such phenona infinitely.’
They are not just amplifying their internal qi, but creating phenona itself.
The foundation is probably based on the fourth power.
“Even so, the result is the sa!”
Seol-Hwi’s response was simple yet effective.
As he reached out his hand, the massive fragnts began to collapse.
Infinite worlds rapidly shrank and were sucked into the pupil of a single shadow.
Once again, the space itself found order under Seol-Hwi’s power.
“I roughly understand now.”
After restoring all phenona to their original state, Seol-Hwi spoke to Jang Dal from afar.
“They use the power of chaos, but all they do is change the form or enhance the power of elents. Because they lack self-awareness. That’s why they can’t expand the power of their microcosm.”
Jang Dal didn’t respond, but Seol-Hwi continued speaking.
“This is why you didn’t summon stronger beings like Earth Demon. Having self-awareness ans they can fundantally question why they should follow you.”
Jang Dal imdiately flared up at those words.
“You’re talking nonsense. Haven’t you realized by now? Those I created are all beneath . Even if they don’t follow , it’s just a matter of eliminating them.”
“But if you could recreate martial arts, it would be different.”
“…What?”
“Like . That’s what you feared.”
“……!”
The reason why Jang Dal, with the power to create infinitely, doesn’t make beings on the level of Earth Demon. Seol-Hwi finally realized it.
At least to confront him, one must use the chaotic power that ends life and death, yet he didn’t create those a level lower.
“Hmph. You can say whatever you want, but even these are enough to deal with you.”
“……?”
“Since they are created infinitely, you will eventually tire, and in that process, you won’t be able to attack . Now, behold!”
Tap.
As soon as his words fell, figures were created.
This ti, the number was so great it was hard to believe one’s eyes.
The figures densely packed behind him seed to number in the hundreds at a glance.
‘What in the world…’
While Seol-Hwi was taken aback, Jang Dal gestured.
With a face that seed to have regained composure.
“Now. Show your power once more.”
According to past experiences, the Third Ability is an ability that transcends the general laws of nature.
It’s like a supernatural ability that manipulates or distorts reality.
Expanding a bit more, it includes the ability to freely control the five elents, or the power to temporarily manipulate ti, techniques that distort space, and so on.
The fourth power is a dinsion of ability that far surpasses this.
It goes beyond rely manipulating reality, allowing one to handle and reconstruct the fundantal laws of the universe itself.
It is a power that can deal with the most fundantal phenona, such as the creation and destruction of the universe, the creation and collapse of dinsions.
Rumble!
As the beings following Jang Dal’s command unleashed their power, flas, ice pillars, confusion, illusions, and spatial changes occurred simultaneously all around.
Everywhere. And as the massive force poured in, Seol-Hwi quickly assud a lotus position to protect his mind and body, attempting the Grand Qi Circulation.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Fierce explosions, shocks, and spatial distortions occurred all around, yet they could not harm Seol-Hwi’s body.
However, Seol-Hwi also couldn’t nullify these attacks with overwhelming strength.
This was because he was focused on defense, like an impregnable fortress, rather than on attack.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Moreover, too many beings were simultaneously extending their hands to manipulate qi.
If even for a mont the power of harmony and order from Seol-Hwi’s body disappeared, in that instant, all this qi could pour onto him, driving him to death.
‘Could it be that Jang Dal is targeting that point?’
While the formidable force couldn’t penetrate the surroundings, Seol-Hwi fell into deep thought.
His internal qi was order and harmony. Like the qi that repels demonic forces, it was very effective against the opponent’s chaotic power.
But using this qi to attack and overthrow the opponent was still uncertain.
Since it was a power acquired at a new level, he wouldn’t know if it could strike the opponent until he tried.
Jang Dal was exploiting that very point, conducting infinite attacks while maintaining the best defense.
‘The opponent is likely waiting for the mont when I can no longer circulate qi.’
Now, their power doesn’t affect him, but the mont his ntal strength is exhausted, it’s different. He knew Jang Dal was waiting for that.
Seeing that Jang Dal was trying to confront him with energy slightly lower than demonic qi.
‘Ultimately, the problem will be resolved once I defeat that Jang Dal.’
Facing Jang Dal, who was determined to settle the score, Seol-Hwi couldn’t just stand by. However, there was no clear way out at the mont.
Even if he turned all his qi into nothingness, there was no sure way to directly harm Jang Dal.
“You must not lose focus for even a mont. I won’t let you slip away.”
As Jang Dal’s triumphant voice echoed, a sudden thought flashed through Seol-Hwi’s mind.
‘What if they absorb the qi?’
At first, it seed like a completely absurd idea, but upon reflection, it seed surprisingly plausible.
‘Yes. That chaotic force must surely include the qi of nature.’
Since demonic qi would also be included, couldn’t he isolate just that part?
‘If it fails… I might die.’
The vast qi would not allow for a single mont of vulnerability.
Moreover, he needed to ascend to a higher level while absorbing the qi. Only then could he transcend the system or subjugate it.
‘Alright. Let’s take the final gamble.’
Amidst the swirling chaos, Seol-Hwi began to focus and manipulate the qi.
It was the art of absorbing qi, a thod to transform internal qi into demonic qi.
