Book 2: Chapter 431: 2 roles for 1 person and the chaotic Demon World (6)

<2 roles for 1 person and the chaotic Demon World (4)>

The omnipotent god.

A couple people had told him about the omnipotent god.

They had seen the omnipotent god.

‘The world within the King’s Successor was terrible. It was not beautiful at all. It was scary.’

When they went to the Central Plains to fight the Blue Bloods…

Old man Baek they had met there…

He claimed to have eyes that could see a person’s true nature and said he saw a child who carried a world in his body.

The King’s Successor.

The child whom the Hunters served, the child who would become the omnipotent god.

Old man Baek had said that the world he carried was dreadful.

‘I saw a child there.’

Chief of Staff Kang Geun Mok had also told them about his experience with the omnipotent god.

As the close confidant of the patriarch of the Transparent Bloods, Honorary Chairman Han Taek Soo…

He had seen the omnipotent god when he was young.

‘That child said that he was hungry.’

‘Once the child took off the bandana, that child, no, t, that monster- s, started to consume people.’

To be more specific, he had consumed the souls of the people.

‘All seven pits were within that child’s shadow. There were lots of souls in those pits. To be completely honest with you, I could not even count them all.’

‘I, I could just feel it. Each of those pits felt like a whole world. Just like that. They each felt like their own little worlds.’

The seven emotions of humans…

Joy, anger, sadness, pleasure, love, hatred, and desire.

Worlds where only one emotion exists…

Where that restriction led to the worlds being full of despair…

‘That child had those seven worlds in his shadows, right under his feet.’

Kang Geun Mok had spoken about the omnipotent god who had the seven worlds under his feet.

He spoke as if he was talking about something truly dreadful and scary.

‘Mm.’

And now, Choi Jung Gun, after waking up from his long coma, had asked Cale the question.

‘Do you think that the omnipotent god, do you think that child is evil?‘

Cale had only one answer to that question.

“I don’t know.”

He truly did not know.

“I’ve never seen him before.”

The omnipotent god. Shouldn’t he at least see the child to determine what kind of person he is?

“Of course, he has committed a lot of evil deeds.”

Just based on Kang Geun Mok’s story, that bastard consumed human souls and imprisoned them in his hell-like worlds without any remorse as it was his ‘meal time.’

Just hearing that made him dreadfully evil, but…

“I don’t know whether that was on his own accord or if someone made him do it, whether he knew what he was doing, or if he was taught to do that. I have no way of knowing.”

Maybe it really was just meal time for that bastard.

That could be what the Hunters taught him.

As such, Cale could only answer like this.

“I don’t know how to judge what kind of evil he is.”

Based on his actions, he could not be called good or even neutral.

But what kind of evil he was could only be determined once he met this King’s Successor.

“…….”

Choi Jung Gun quietly listened to Cale’s answer before going silent for a moment.

He then opened his mouth.

“The King’s Successor has no emotions.”

“Excuse me?”

Cale subconsciously asked.

Choi Jung Gun continued to speak rather than responding.

“I presume he originally had them, but they have disappeared.”

The monster that consumes the seven human emotions has no emotions.

No, they had disappeared.

“Only his instincts remain. I think his gluttony remained extremely strong.”

Gluttony.

That word made Cale think about how the child had called it ‘meal time.’

“That is one of the seven emotions-”

“Yes, I know.”

“Is that so?”

Choi Jung Gun hesitated after Cale sounded like he knew.

“Please hurry.”

Cale urged Choi Jung Gun on.

“I need to quickly hear what you have to say before going to save Choi Jung Soo and Sui Khan. Choi Han is outside waiting to go save Choi Jung Soo as well.”

“Ah, mm.”

Choi Jung Gun nodded his head at Cale with a blank look on his face.

It was true.

‘But I just woke up?

I’m thirsty?’

“Here’s some water.”

Cale gave him some water at that time.

Choi Jung Gun sat up and drank the water.

“Mm.”

He then flinched after seeing that he was missing an arm, but he quickly moved the other arm as if it wasn’t an issue.

“Your body is in good condition.”

Cale confirmed that Choi Jung Gun moved his body and drank water without straining himself and continued.

“Please hurry. Only the crux of the issue please.”

“Uhh, mm. Okay.”

Choi Jung Gun had to speak again as soon as he finished drinking water.

“Yes. Mm. You need to possess a world in order to be a god’s plate-”

“Yes, I know.”

“Huh?”

“I know about it.”

“Uhh, okay. You’re very smart.”

“…….”

“Mm. You’ve always been smart.

Ahem.”

Choi Jung Gun let out a fake cough and continued.

“Joy, anger, sadness, pleasure, love, hatred, and desire. Creating a world with only one of those emotions is enough to become a god’s plate.”

Cale’s eyes clouded over.

Choi Jung Gun continued to speak.

“But that child possesses seven worlds. That is not something a human can handle.”

“That is why he lost his emotions?”

“Yes. I think that he needs to not have emotions in order to live with seven hells.”

Choi Jung Gun added on.

“I don’t know how that child lost his emotions or how he created his seven worlds, the seven hells.”

His gaze sank low.

“However, that child can never become a god.”

He then added on.

“He follows instincts and not emotions.”

He then continued to speak.

“And because of that, he may end up as the most perfect god.”

All sorts of anguish and emotions flashed across his face.

But Cale did not have time to play along with his reactions and think together.

That was why he shared what he believed was the core of the issue.

“The omnipotent god. That bastard is the perfect puppet.”

Choi Jung Gun looked at Cale.

And then…

“You truly are smart.”

He gave Cale a thumbs up.

Cale viciously scowled.

When he had seen Choi Jung Soo’s clueless face in serious situations in the past…

Cale had subconsciously reacted to Choi Jung Gun acting similarly.

“Please cut the useless things and speak.”

“Uh, yeah yeah!”

Choi Jung Gun listened very well.

He didn’t mess around more like Choi Jung Soo would have done and followed Cale’s orders just like Choi Han would.

“If a person who carries worlds made of the seven emotions becomes a god, they would become a really strong god. The name omnipotent god would not be nonsense.”

It would be an existence that carries seven hells.

“Furthermore, there is even a world made for that god?”

New World, a world made just for the omnipotent god.

“The Hunters, with the omnipotent god guiding them, want to create a new world with law and order that they create. They themselves want to become gods too.”

Choi Jung Gun stopped there and stared at Cale before making a comment.

“Is what I thought.”

‘Mm.’

Cale’s expression turned odd.

“Because I had seen the White Star project as well as how they aimed for single-lifers until now.”

It was impossible not to think that way after seeing everything the Hunters had done until now as well as the flow of things.

“But not everybody was like that.”

Most of the Hunters let that flow carry them, but…

“There were some who felt differently within those groups.”

A twisted smile appeared on Choi Jung Gun’s face.

“I was hurt by the pollution of chaos…by the Saint, but… I’m not at a level where I can’t avoid the Saint and run away.”

“The Saint is dead.”

“Uhh, ah? R, really?”

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

Choi Jung Gun gasped in admiration before quickly speaking again after seeing the glare in Cale’s eyes.

“Anyway! The ones who pushed me to the brink of losing consciousness were the Five Colors Bloods.”

The Five Colors Bloods.

The group made of the wanderers were believed to each have unique powers.

“The Five Colors Bloods have Three Emperors. I was defeated by the third of those Emperors.”

This information was something Cale needed.

“Is he strong?”

“Yeah. To be honest with you, I couldn’t even properly attack back. He is really strong. He is at the level of the gods.”

‘Choi Jung Gun was defeated without being able to attack back?’

Cale’s face stiffened up.

“And the reason I ended up fighting with that guy is because of what I found out while following him to see what he was doing. That is what I am about to tell you right now.”

and Choi Jung Gun stopped for a moment before continuing slowly to speak.

His face looked extremely tense.

“A transcender.”

It was the word Choi Jung Gun had said earlier.

“The Five Colors Bloods are a group dreaming of becoming transcenders.”

Cale clenched his eyes shut.

He could see darkness.

For some reason, he felt like the word ‘break time’ was getting farther away from him.

‘Ha.’

He was truly annoyed.

‘Why do these bastards keep wanting to become something new?

No, why do they keep shoving new things my way to make things worse?

‘This is so annoying!’

“What are transcenders?”

Cale couldn’t hide his annoyance.

“No, why does he want to be that instead of a god?”

‘Ah, why can’t he just become a god, fight against the other guys…

And leave us alone?’

Cale felt those emotions boiling up inside him.

He just wanted to flip things over.

– Should I flip it?

Of course, Cale snapped back to his senses after hearing the Sky Eating Water’s voice.

– Haha! Should we try dominating gods now?

Cale calmed down after next hearing the Dominating Aura’s serious voice and his annoyance went away.

Ancient powers.

These bastards really were not normal either.

‘Let’s not be swept around by them.’

Cale calmly addressed Choi Jung Gun.

“Please speak freely.”

He spoke with a smile on his face.

“Y, yeah! I’ll only speak about the core issue!”

Choi Jung Gun quickly continued to talk.

He really rapidly rattled on.

“Transcenders are exactly as it sounds, an existence that has transcended everything. They are not gods but are an existence like gods but do not have any restrictions based on their name!”

‘Huh?’

Cale tilted his head and Choi Jung Gun explained even faster.

“For gods, what god they are is quite important. For example, the God of Death shows great strength when it comes to death, but he is limited in other areas. Because other areas have their own gods! That is why there are lots of known as well as unknown restrictions.”

Gods were not omnipotent.

“But transcenders are not limited by such restrictions, so you can think of them as being much freer than gods! They may even be an existence that can go beyond the gods! Of course, because it is an existence that is freer than gods, it is quite difficult to reach that level. And not many people know about it either.”

Even Choi Jung Gun had just learned about this concept of the transcender. He had not known about it before.

“But the Five Colors Bloods seem to know how to become a transcender. I think they are trying to create the omnipotent god as a step to reach that level.”

Choi Jung Gun had run away as soon as he learned about the concept of the transcender.

But he was caught.

“I learned about that. That is the reason the Third Emperor tried to kill me. Of course, things changed because the Saint came over since he had some business with the Third Emperor.”

The Third Emperor had failed to kill Choi Jung Gun.

Because the Saint needed to see him.

The Saint also had people from the Transparent Bloods with him as well.

“The Five Colors Bloods plotting this is a secret even to the other families. That is probably why he tried even harder to get rid of me.”

The Third Emperor had only told the Saint that Choi Jung Gun was a lackey of the World of the Gods and needed to be killed and the Saint said he would take care of it.

“The Third Emperor is probably looking for me right now?”

If Aurora did not save him and escape and if Cale’s group had not found them, Choi Jung Gun would have been killed by the Third Emperor and the other wanderers once they managed to evade the Saint and the Transparent Bloods.

“But I’m relieved.”

Choi Jung Gun smiled.

Despite losing an arm, he was still alive.

“I’m glad I was able to deliver the information I had.”

There was lots of other information he had yet to share about the Five Colors Bloods.

Just sharing this information would be helpful for Cale’s group and their allies in the future.

“You’ve already heard that the first wanderer is the leader of the Five Colors Bloods, right? I believe that he is the one trying to become a transcender.”

Choi Jung Gun suddenly stopped.

“Mm.”

It was because Cale’s face had stiffened.

“What is it?”

Cale scratched his head and nonchalantly commented.

“I think the Third Emperor may be in the Demon World?”

“Huh?”

“We are in the Demon World right now.”

“Huh?”

Now that Cale thought about it, Choi Jung Gun did not know where they were.

“The child of the former Demon King was the one who saved you, sunbae. She left a message in the language of the Demon World at the time. She said to come find the Great Thief of the Night.”

“Huh?”

“Ah. I feel like we’re going to run into the Third Emperor soon.”

“Huh?”

Cale thought to himself without caring about Choi Jung Gun’s confused responses.

‘Maybe it is a good thing we left the original spot and came here.’

It made it harder for the Third Emperor to find the Arbitrators.

“Mm.”

Cale organized his thoughts.

He focused on the things he needed first.

“So right now, the Third Emperor, the chief executives of the Church of the God of Chaos, us, and the Demon King’s faction are all in the Demon World?”

“Huh?”

He ignored Choi Jung Gun and came to his own conclusion.

“I see. The field has already been set.”

Cale nodded his head and continued to speak.

“And the reason the Five Colors Bloods are aiming to become a transcender is something the Demon King and the Church of the God of Chaos does not know. Even their Hunter allies, the Transparent Bloods, don’t know about it?”

“Huh? Uh, yeah.”

Smirk.

The corners of Cale’s lips curled up.

“Wow. The Transparent Bloods will feel really betrayed once they learn about this.”

‘These guys sure are having fun stabbing each other in the back.’

Of course, Cale was planning on using the information he had to his advantage.

“I’ll need to make them all go crazy.”

Cale was smiling and it didn’t look as if the corners of his lips would ever come down.

– You’ve been quite stressed.

He ignored the Super Rock.

Click.

Once Choi Han finished his conversation with Choi Jung Gun and came out… Cale spoke to Choi Han.

“Go toward Choi Jung Soo’s side with the Heavenly Demon.”

“Yes, Cale-nim.”

“As for me-”

Cale hesitated for a moment.

Not considering Eruhaben, Ron, Beacrox, and the others who will come later, the only people Cale had right now-

“We are going with the human!”

“Meeeeeow!”

“Meeow.”

The children averaging ten-years-old.

And…

“Hoo hoo.”

Clopeh Sekka, who had been chuckling since earlier.

Team leader Sui Khan… Cale felt like he wanted to go alone to find him.
