Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up) - Chapter 453
The tragic battle between the two kings also left traces in the sky.
The ashes kicked up by the fierce battle fell from the air like snowflakes.
Looking at the ashes that fell on his shoulders, Seong Jin-Woo raised his head.
far away, over there
The soldiers of the ruler who covered the sky are pouring out from the countless portals.
Thousands of soldiers are moving in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the ruler. It is really an overwhelming and spectacular scene.
And their goal is to remove all remaining soldiers of the king.
Almost all the kings, including the Dragon Emperor, are dead, so for the soldiers of the legion, they have already lost their chances of winning.
Thus, the Dominators hovering in the sky declared victory.
Although he survived, for some reason, Cheng Jin-Woo always felt a little stuffy in his heart.
After giving instructions to the soldiers, “The Most Brilliant Fragment of Radiance” landed in front of Cheng Jin-Woo again.
In front of Cheng Jin-Woo, the most beautiful life form in the world, which cannot be described in any gorgeous words, folded its six wings.
The other rulers also landed behind the “best fragment of brilliance” one after another.
The Fragment of Brilliance looked at Cheng Jin-Woo.
At first glance, ordinary human beings.
‘ But it was such a human being that put an end to our war with the kings. ‘
Who would have thought?
The long and endless war that started from the time of the Absolute has come to an end in the hands of a weak human being.
At least I didn’t think of it at all.
So, the surprise towards Seong Jin-Woo turned into respect.
“He ended our war. I don’t know how to thank him.”
“…”
Cheng Jin-Woo silently looked at the gray mirror floating down from the sky, and then turned his head to look at the Fragment of Radiance.
“It might be a bit awkward to say that, but I have a request.”
“ask……?”
Brilliant Fragment was a little surprised.
The power of the Shadow King may be as strong as him, maybe even higher than him.
And this kind of him wants to ask himself?
Cheng Jin-Woo gave affirmation before the other party agreed, as if to lighten the burden of the shining fragment.
“This is something only you can do.”
The Radiance Fragment nodded.
“You said, I will do my best.”
The Shadow King contributed a lot to capturing the Dragon Emperor.
For the grateful Shadow King, there is no reason why the Fragment of Light should not satisfy the other party’s request.
But Cheng Jin-Woo said that he made a request that made him particularly embarrassed.
“Can I use… the cup of reincarnation again?”
The most brilliant Fragment of Radiance seemed to have been slapped in the face, and the rest of the Dominators standing behind it were also stunned.
The Radiant Fragment confirmed again on behalf of everyone.
“You mean… you want to use the Cup of Reincarnation to turn back time again?”
“That’s right.”
Cheng Jin-Woo nodded.
Then he explained.
“After turning the time, please don’t put anything on the earth. As for the king and the king’s soldiers, I will deal with them in the gap between dimensions.”
After listening to Cheng Jin-Woo’s words, the Fragment of Brilliance was already speechless in astonishment.
‘Alone… Do you want to face this war alone?’
Cheng Jin-Woo heard about the “Cup of Reincarnation” from the previous Shadow King.
Although it is said that the time is turned by using the power of gods, for high-level existences such as rulers or kings, they can still retain their will.
That being the case, the power of the Shadow King obtained after Osborn mixed with his own consciousness will definitely not disappear completely.
Cheng Jin-Woo intends to use this power and his preserved memory to enter the gap in the dimension.
“You… do you want to fight against all the legions alone?”
The Brilliant Fragment asked in disbelief.
“Why do you want to do this? We have used the Cup of Reincarnation many times, but the results have not changed.”
‘……’
Seong Jin-Woo looked down at his father’s dagger in his hand, and finally replied calmly.
“I lost too many people to this war. I want to get them back.”
Turn back the clock and save them.
For this reason, Seong Jin-Woo made up his mind to fight the kings again.
Brilliant Shard closed his eyes tightly, thinking deeply.
It also resonated with Cheng Jin-Woo’s thoughts, but it was too dangerous to reverse the time.
“The cup of reincarnation will consume almost all life. In case you fail…time can no longer be turned back.”
That is to say… a future even scarier than the present may be ushered in.
Maybe the current situation is already the best result.
“If you want, you can be a hero in people’s hearts to stop the kings. But…”
There was some inexplicable sadness in Guanghui’s expression.
“No one will know the battle you want to fight now. If you fail, there will only be destruction. And even if you succeed, no one will be happy for you…”
Gwanghui once again confirmed Cheng Jin-Woo’s wishes.
“Even so, do you still want to turn back time?”
Cheng Jin-Woo did not answer.
He closed his eyes and thought of the people around him.
Seong Jin-Woo saw their current appearance through the shadow soldiers arranged beside them.
The mother and younger sister were holding each other’s hands tightly, watching the news from country R on TV with worried expressions.
Cha Hae-yi closed her eyes tightly as if she was praying for someone; Wu Zhenzhe, the president of the Association, even watched the news with red eyes.
Being able to deeply understand the sincerity of their worries for him made Cheng Jin-Woo feel a bit of warmth.
So, Cheng Jin-Woo made up his mind.
He opened his eyes, eyes full of determination.
“I want to go back.”
Those who stayed, and those who didn’t.
President of Goh Jianli Society, Adam White and father. Their faces came to Cheng Jin-Woo’s mind one by one.
In fact, many people died in this battle, but Cheng Jin-Woo…doesn’t want to lose anyone anymore.
The brightest shard of brilliance understood Seong Jin-Woo’s awareness.
“…”
The reason why the rulers are willing to use “absolutely unusable fetishes” to save the world is because this is a place that has nothing to do with their wars.
but……
But as the existence of this world, the hero who wants to save the world also made a decision.
Not just a part of the world, but to save the whole world with your own power.
Suddenly, in the eyes of the brightest shard of light, Cheng Jin-Woo’s face overlapped with that of the previous Shadow King.
In order to protect the Absolute, even in front of the air soldiers who covered the entire sky, that stubborn colleague did not back down half a step.
He is a formidable foe, but no less admirable.
‘…it really looks like it. ‘
Thinking of Osborn, a smile appeared on the face of the Radiance Shard.
“I see. I hope you return in triumph.”
“……Wait a moment.”
Cheng Jin-Woo stopped its movement.
“If the shadow soldiers didn’t exist in the past, what will happen after the cup of reincarnation is activated?”
For example, a Bell.
Osborn’s original soldiers will surely remain, but what about Bell, who didn’t exist ten years ago, or Insatiable, who was once “Huang Dongshu”?
“Existence that overlaps with the timeline of the past will disappear, and those that do not will remain.”
The most brilliant piece of brilliance told Cheng Jin-Woo what he knew.
‘meaning… Bell will stay, will Insatiable disappear…’
Just after hearing the bad news, the voices of soldiers crying bitterly came from among the shadow soldiers.
Cheng Jin-Woo bid farewell to the soldiers who were about to separate in his heart, and then raised his head.
“Ready.”
The most brilliant shards of brilliance call forth the “Lamp of Reincarnation” in the Warp.
It affirmed to Cheng Jin-Woo.
“May your courage… save your world.”
Soon, the light sprinkled on the whole world.
***
There was a story in the regional newspaper.
The news is like this.
After leaving a note that I have something to do’, a middle school student disappeared without a word; and two years later, the missing middle school student returned home intact.
This report made the world lively for a while, but soon calmed down.
In this way, time passed quietly.
As for the portal, monsters, hunters who hunt monsters, etc… There is no similar thing in this world.
***
Liu Chenhao, who attended the welcome party for freshmen, had a stiff expression.
Although the air was full of the aroma of roasted pork belly, the tension made Liu Chenhao unable to arouse any appetite.
but why?
Although he is hiding his identity now, he is still the second son of the chaebol family.
But! The taste of this frozen pork belly barbecue restaurant is not unfamiliar to me at all!
‘Why?’
