Chapter 331
Overlord Titan.
A weapon he couldn’t forge before his regression—now, he finally had the chance to create it.
The crafting thod was simple.
‘Leviathan is the base.’
Leviathan, now in a state where it had lost its Overlord power.
To completely restore that power, what he needed were the Marks.
[All Marks have been gathered.]
[You can draw out 100% of Leviathan’s latent power.]
[Would you like to proceed?]
He checked the ssage and placed his hand over his chest.
Thump, thump.
His heart was pounding violently.
‘To think I’m actually about to receive the Overlord Titan.’
It had been such a long road.
From the very first completed Beginner’s Mark he obtained after perfectly clearing the tutorial—so much ti had passed since then.
Before he could gather all the Marks, Escanon had intervened, accelerating the destruction. At one point, he had nearly given up on the Overlord Titan.
But then Baal brought him the remaining Marks, and in an instant, the conditions for crafting the Overlord Titan were fulfilled.
“I’ll do it.”
[Drawing out Leviathan’s latent power completely.]
[The power of the Overlord is being unlocked.]
[Achievent unlocked! ‘One Who Has Reached the Divine’ completed! 1,000,000 achievent points awarded.]
[1,000,000 points awarded.]
[Acquired 0.5% of divine energy from the unknown domain.]
With a flood of ssages, Leviathan began to glow and transform.
From the blade to the hilt, it turned pitch black, then broke apart like a small cube, losing its form entirely.
The fragnted cube shattered further into fine dust, which swirled around Jeong-hoon, dancing.
[Assessing qualifications.]
‘Qualifications?’
As Jeong-hoon tilted his head in confusion, Baal let out a hearty laugh and explained.
“So I need its recognition.”
Simply drawing out its power didn’t make it his.
Overlord Titan.
Now reborn as a divine weapon with its own will, it would only recognize soone as its true master once it acknowledged them.
‘Alright. Let’s see what you’ve got.’
Jeong-hoon was confident he’d earn Titan’s approval.
[Transferring to the Overlord’s Sanctuary.]
Along with the ssage, his vision blurred and he felt a sudden dizziness before losing consciousness.
* * *
The Overlord’s Sanctuary.
When Jeong-hoon ca to, he found himself standing on a cloud.
‘Where is this?’
He was sure he had lost consciousness.
Jeong-hoon ran his hands over his body.
But his hand passed straight through, and he felt nothing.
‘So my physical body wasn’t transported.’
It seed more like he was dreaming.
“Hoh, so you’re the one ant to inherit my will?”
At the clearly audible voice, Jeong-hoon turned his head.
The scenery on the cloud shifted into the interior of a mansion—one that was roughly twenty tis larger than an ordinary one.
Inside that enormous mansion, an old man who looked to be in his early to mid-eighties sat on a throne, examining Jeong-hoon with an intrigued expression.
“Are you the Overlord?”
Titan.
True to his identity as a giant, Jeong-hoon had to tilt his head back to look up at him.
“That’s right. But you’re not Titan.”
“No. I’m human.”
“Then it’s impossible for you to inherit my will.”
The Overlord Titan adjusts its size to fit the user.
The reason it turned to dust and wrapped around Jeong-hoon was to scan the user and reconstruct itself into an appropriate form.
“I can’t inherit your will because I’m not a Titan… Then I’ll just have to make you acknowledge by force.”
“By force? You, make ?”
The Overlord questioned with an incredulous expression.
“Yes.”
At his confident reply, the Overlord burst into hearty laughter.
“Puhahaha! I’ve been watching you this whole ti, and you really are an amusing human.”
Of course.
After all, Leviathan—stripped of its power—was the Overlord Titan.
Which ant the Overlord had always been with Jeong-hoon.
He was one of the beings who had observed Jeong-hoon’s growth more closely than anyone else. How could he not acknowledge him?
He had rely been testing him just now.
“Then… are you acknowledging ?”
“Yes. I called you here because I wanted to have a conversation.”
“A conversation?”
“Yes. This will probably be our last.”
“Hm? Why?”
“Once you are recognized as the true master, I will pass on.”
The reason he had remained until now was because no one had ever beco the true master of this sword.
To beco its master, one must restore its original power, earn the Overlord’s recognition, and complete the succession.
Once the succession is complete, his role ends—and he can pass on.
“…I see.”
“Do you think you can win?”
To his solemn question, Jeong-hoon took a mont to think before giving his answer.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“Yes. In my current state, I won’t be able to face him. Even with the Overlord Titan, the odds of the outco changing are low.”
“That’s a very unsatisfying answer.”
The Overlord’s face twisted in displeasure.
That wasn’t the kind of answer he had wanted to hear.
“But I won’t give up.”
“Hm?”
“No matter what it takes, I’ll stop him. And I’ll change this damned fate.”
“Now that I like.”
Yes.
That’s how a successor I acknowledged should speak.
The Overlord nodded with a face now fully at ease.
“Yes. So please entrust the Overlord Titan to .”
Jeong-hoon said formally, showing proper respect.
“Very well. From now on, you are the Overlord.”
With those words, the Overlord passed on.
[You have passed the qualification test.]
[You have been recognized as the master of the Overlord Titan.]
* * *
Jeong-hoon opened his eyes.
His head was spinning, and he felt awful, so he quickly used Divine Healing.
Only after healing himself did Jeong-hoon rise to his feet with a calr expression.
‘Master, are you alright?’
‘I was so shocked when you suddenly collapsed.’
At the worried voices of Mukho and Anima, Jeong-hoon gave a small smile.
“I’m alright now.”
“Yes.”
Baal turned his gaze to the Overlord Titan now gripped in Jeong-hoon’s hand.
The Overlord Titan, which had lost its form, had transford into a finely-forged sword.
From the hilt to the sharp, jet-black blade—
Everything was tailored to Jeong-hoon, and it was so light it felt nearly weightless.
“This is the Overlord Titan…”
At the end of the hilt was a small carving of a valiant giant’s face, and its eyes shone with a fierce light.
===
[Overlord Titan]
- Type: One-Handed Sword
- Grade: God
- Attack Power: ??? (Scales with the user’s potential)
- Critical Rate: ??? (Scales with the user’s potential)
- Remaining Durability: 100%
- Special Ability (1): [Active: Advent of the Overlord] usable
- Special Ability (2): [Active: Wrath of the Overlord] usable
===
For a god-tier weapon, its special abilities were underwhelming.
Even Mukho and Anima, who had reached the Ultimate grade, each had four special abilities.
On top of that, they had shadow options as well, making five in total.
But the Overlord Titan had only two special abilities.
‘Advent of the Overlord, Wrath of the Overlord.’
Both were active skills.
He wanted to find out what kind of performance these boasted, but the problem was—he couldn’t read the descriptions.
[Advent of the Overlord]
- Type: Active
- Grade: God
- The Overlord has descended!
That was the entire description for Advent of the Overlord.
Wrath of the Overlord was the sa.
[Wrath of the Overlord]
- Type: Active
- Grade: God
- Who could withstand the wrath of the Overlord?
In the end, he’d have to activate them himself to understand what they did.
“What does ‘potential’ an in this context?”
Unlike Ultimate-grade gear, the attack power for this was determined by the wielder’s potential.
Jeong-hoon lightly swung the Overlord Titan from top to bottom.
Vwooom—
KA-BOOM!
A small shockwave rippled out with a slicing sound through the air.
“Oh?”
That kind of destructive power—even without using a skill.
This ti, Jeong-hoon channeled mana into the blade and swung diagonally from left to right.
CHAAAAK!
The resulting shockwave was incomparable to before, distorting the very air for a brief mont.
Even Baal let out a brief sound of admiration.
“Still not enough.”
Jeong-hoon went further, activating Heavenly Demon Annihilation Sword, slashing repeatedly through the air.
Each ti, shockwaves exploded outward, making it seem as though the air itself was being torn apart.
God-tier was god-tier indeed.
Only after completing the full sword art did Jeong-hoon relax his stance.
‘If I use Advent of the Overlord and Wrath of the Overlord back-to-back… what will happen?’
He’d test it out on whatever was lying in wait at the next location.
“Anyway, is the stabilization complete?”
“Begin.”
There isn't much ti left.
If he didn’t close the Ruin within the ti limit, he would be penalized—so there was no ti to dawdle here.
“I’m ready for that much.”
“Got it.”
Jeong-hoon closed his eyes.
Zzzt!
The mont Baal finished speaking, unbearable pain coursed through his entire body.
They said when pain reaches a certain extre, a person can’t even scream.
He thought he’d grown numb to pain—but this was so excruciating he couldn’t even cry out.
Blood began to flow from every orifice—his closed eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
Jeong-hoon ground his teeth.
He felt like his consciousness could slip away at any mont, but he held on with superhuman willpower.
More painful than this?
Jeong-hoon couldn’t even respond.
Because as soon as Baal said that, a wave of pain even greater than before surged through him.
‘Master! Stay strong!’
‘You have to endure it!’
Encouraged by Mukho and Anima, Jeong-hoon gave a weak nod.
He couldn’t collapse here.
He had to endure this and change this cursed fate.
* * *
The soul-overlaying process finally ca to an end after a long while.
As soon as he heard those words, Jeong-hoon collapsed backward as if he had been waiting for it.
[Using ‘Divine Healing.’]
He quickly channeled divine power to heal his body and mind.
“…‘Trendously painful’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.”
He honestly thought he was going to die.
It was so horrible he never wanted to experience it again.
But the results were worth it.

“Wow… what is all this?”
Seeing numbers like this for the first ti, Jeong-hoon couldn’t keep his mouth closed.
“You too?”
“That’s insane…”
Jeong-hoon nodded.
So that’s why the stat display had changed.
He didn’t love that the bonus stats had been combined without his input—but thanks to Baal, he’d beco unimaginably powerful, so he let it slide.
“Do you think I can go toe-to-toe with Escanon now?”
“…Okay.”
Now, all that remained was the unknown power waiting in the next section.
It was ti to take that power into his own hands.
