133- 140

Something popped out from the Hall of Destruction. It was the form of a huge monster completely covered in darkness.

"Kukukuku!"

"Kukakaka!"

It wasn't just one as more continued to pop out. Then Shakan's bow shone brilliantly and hit one of them.

Kwaang!

The brilliant arrow hit the body of a monster, causing it to turn transparent and disappear.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen monsters appeared from the Hall of Destruction.

"Bah! You infernal b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"

Keljark moved and wielded her pair of swords.

Kw.a.n.g! Kwaang!

Every time her swords. .h.i.t, there was a bang and the monsters vanished.

Papapat!

Keljark's pair of swords flew in every direction. The monsters also used their weapons to fight back roughly.

Kwarurung! Kakang! Kwaang!

Effortlessly, Keljark avoided or blocked the attacks of the monsters.

Kw.a.n.g! Kwaang!

Her swords flashed, destroying a pair of monsters every time.

The weapons of the monsters varied from swords to s.h.i.+elds, spears, bows, greatsword and even a staff!

Kang-jun was very surprised by their extraordinary combat power.

'Some of them are similar or even stronger than Rainkar and Colladikus. What is their identity?'

The monsters weren't able to reach the transcendent level, but they would be called an absolute presence in a small world!

Therefore, it would be difficult to win against them without being transcendent.

Monsters with such great combat power were pouring endlessly out from the Hall of Destruction.

Shakan and Keljark were attacking like crazy, but compared to those that were disappearing, far more monsters were popping out.

Soon, the number of monsters reached over 100.

Then Keljark glanced at Kang-jun.

"Lucan! Are you just going to watch blankly? If even one of them escapes from here, it will be a pain."

Shakan also snapped at Kang-jun,

"Lucan! Hurry. You are now obliged to protect Pavalia Station. If they leave this zone, a disaster will happen to the small worlds."

"Disaster?

"That's right. The worlds they enter will perish due to them."

"Perish? Are you saying it will be gone?"

"The small world itself will literally disappear. Their purpose is to destroy all the worlds in Pavalia Station."

Kang-jun was amazed and this time it was Keljark who cried out,

"Lucan, you despise demon kings because they like slaughtering and destroying, but these guys don't have any other purpose. Their only goal is destruction itself."

Kang-jun was dumbfounded. She made it seem like slaughtering and destruction was normal for the demon kings.

"Are you comparing them to demon kings?"

"I guess so. At least demon kings can be controlled but these guys can't. Anyway, we absolutely have to kill these guys."

What was Keljark expecting?

However, their words made a lot of sense.

Demon kings could join a household. Kang-jun already had eight demon kings under him.

At that time, a monster appeared in front of Kang-jun.

It was a monster with the body of a human and the head of a goat. Its whole body was black. A transparent but destructive energy flashed in both of its eyes.

"Kukukuk!"

It grew bigger and aimed its greatsword at Kang-jun.

Paaaat! Pa pa pa pa!

It was a large sword that flew at the speed of light! The greatsword caused countless changes as it swept through the area.

Sususu.

However, Kang-jun moved his hand once and not only was the greatsword broken, but all the monsters around him were gone.

[An Unknown Piece has been acquired.]

He didn't get any experience, only an Unknown Piece.

'What is this?'

It was his first time seeing the item.

Unknown Piece

-Rating: Unknown.

-An item obtained after defeating monsters from the Hall of Destruction. The use is unknown.

'Hrmm.'

This was the first time that an item description like this had come out.

The item rating didn't appear and he couldn't tell what it was used for.

However, he couldn't ask Shakan and Keljark since they were immersed in battle.

Kang-jun suddenly recalled the demon alchemist Sud who was in his shadow.

"That's right. Sud, do you know the item that just went into the inventory?"

(It is the first time I've seen it. Leave it to me and I'll try to find out.)

Sud's voice was filled with curiosity.

"Tell me if you find out. Ask me if you need anything."

(Yes, Lord.)

Sud replied and soon became quiet. He was looking at the Unknown Piece without any hesitation in the space lab attached to Kang-jun's shadow.

Meanwhile, the number of monsters had increased. There were hundreds of them now.

Kang-jun's eyes shone coldly.

Flas.h.!.+ Paaaat!

Rays of light emerged

from Kang-jun's sword and dozens of monsters were destroyed at once.

[An Unknown Piece has been acquired.]

It wasn't every time, but the drop rate was about one in a dozen.

They didn't give any experience or chaos power.

Then Kang-jun started to get angry.

'Where do these guys come from?'

There were many of them and they didn't even give Kang-jun anything.

However, if he didn't kill them, the small worlds in Pavalia Station would become extinct.

'Both of them have been doing such annoying work for so long?'

Suddenly, Shakan and Keljark's words made sense to Kang-jun.

He couldn't understand how hard they lived as transcendents.

That's right.

If Shakan and Keljark hadn't destroyed the monsters coming out of the Hall of Destruction, many of Pavalia Station's small worlds would have disappeared.

Was there any guarantee that Earth Hwanmong wasn't included in that?

In other words, it wasn't possible to deny that Earth Hwanmong was safe due to Shakan and Keljark.

They had defended Pavalia Station until now.

Obviously, it was bad to support a war between small worlds from behind, but he couldn't kill them for that reason alone.

If he killed them, then Kang-jun would be guarding Pavalia Station alone.

He would have to fight against these unknown monsters forever.

There wasn't even any compensation.

It was also lonely.

Shakan and Keljark had been doing this for an extremely long time.

'They really aren't bad people at all.'

Kang-jun decided not to hold that matter against Shakan and Keljark anymore. He was willing to accept their promise about not encouraging wars again in the future.

Flas.h.!.+ Papapat!

Kang-jun destroyed the darkness in front of him relentlessly.

'Heavenly Unyielding Slas.h.!.+ Heavenly Unyielding Slas.h.!.+'

He used the wide area skill that was filled with dimensional power.

Pasususu.

The monsters were instantly wiped out once he decided to do his best.

"It is over quicker today."

"It is definitely more comfortable."

Shakan and Keljark gazed at Kang-jun. Looking at the smiles on their faces, Kang-jun realized that they really welcomed his presence.

"Do you know what this piece is?"

Kang-jun held out an Unknown Piece to them. Shakan and Keljark shook their heads.

"That? I don't know what they are used for, but they rarely drop."

"I've tried everything, but I have yet to figure out what it is. I just throw it away, so tell me if you need it."

A mysterious fragment that even the transcendents didn't know about!

If so, it would be hard for Sud to figure it out.

Then Shakan asked,

"Lucan, how about it? Do you have an idea of how we live now?"

Keljark glanced at Kang-jun and asked,

"Surely, you're not still thinking of killing us?"

Kang-jun answered with a smile.

"I roughly understand what type of life you have lived. Therefore, I will no longer pursue you about the past."

"Huhu, that's right."

"Now you understand some of our pain."

Shakan and Keljark sent him gratified smiles. Kang-jun stared at them and said,

"Instead, I hope that you won't encourage any wars in the future. No matter how bored you are, doing such things as a transcendent isn't good."

Shakan nodded.

"I understand your concerns. Things will be a little different now that we've thought about it."

Did anything else matter?

However, a message appeared in front of Kang-jun then.

[After a short time, the door to Hwanmong will close.]

[Do you want to specify this destination as the location for the door to Hwanmong?]

[Yes/No]

'Yes! Specify.'

In addition to remembering this as the gate location for Hwanmong, he set it as a warp point as well.

It was surprisingly simple.

He didn't even have to consume a Dimensional Piece.

The anomalous phoenix never forgot a place it had been to.

The anomalous phoenix, Sajitia reminded Kang-jun of this fact.

'It is very easy.'

He understood why transcendents like Shakan and Keljark were so obsessed with obtaining an anomalous phoenix.

Kang-jun watched them and said,

"I have to go to my world now. Then I will talk to you next time."

Shakan's eyes lit up.

"Are you going back to another world?"

"That's right. I have another life."

It was the real Earth, not Earth Hwanmong.

At that time, Keljark asked with an interested expression,

"Then can I come along?"

"Come along? Is that possible?"

"Of course, if you allow it."

Was this possible? In the cases of ghosts like Hayun, they could enter reality and Hwanmong.

Therefore, maybe it was possible for transcendents like Shakan and Keljark.

"But why do you want to go with me?"

"Just because. I am bored."

Keljark spoke like it was natural. Kang-jun was dumbfounded.

"You are bored?"

"Lucan, you won't let us play. Then you are responsible."

"Responsible for what?"

Keljark spoke with an expression that reminded him of a money lender coming for a debtor's money.

"You are obliged to relieve my boredom."

Shakan also spoke to Kang-jun with a similar expression.

"You have to take responsibility for your words. Lucan, you have to entertain me so that I won't be bored."

"What am I supposed to do?"

Kang-jun wasn't confident that he could stop the two transcendents from becoming bored. This happened because he asked them not to play around any more.

"Don't worry. The place called earth seems to be interesting."

"I have the same thoughts. Please allow us to come along."

Kang-jun nodded. There was no reason not to allow it.

"But who will protect this place if both of you go with me? Surely, you don't intend to leave your clones?"

Then Shakan grinned.

"The ability of a clone can't last for a long time here. I will just leave my anomaloria. It will come to me immediately if something happens."

All presences that weren't transcendent grade wouldn't be able to survive here.

Rather, it was better to leave behind the anomaloria that was a being of the dimensional system. It could immediately warp to its master through warp movement.

"Okay. Then follow me."

Kang-jun didn't know how they could follow him to reality.

In fact, although Kang-jun had become transcendent, he didn't know all the miscellaneous knowledge about the dimensional system.

In other words, he just jumped to Shakan and Keljark's level in combat. He still had a long way to go in miscellaneous knowledge.

[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over.]

Finally, the message appeared and the space started to distort.

At that moment, Shakan and Keljark turned into blurry shadows and penetrated into Kang-jun's wings.

"You woke up."

Hayun greeted him with a bright smile.

However, unlike the earlier days, she wasn't sitting on a chair but lying beside him.

It was a natural occurrence after her relationship with Kang-jun deepened.

Kang-jun looked at her like she was adorable and said,

"Good morning."

"Yes. By the way, there is something different about you."

Hayun said after staring at Kang-jun. During the night, Kang-jun had not only reached transcendence in Hwanmong, but he had also become a dimensional sovereign.

As a result, he was no longer bound by the rules of Hammond, so Hayun could feel something was different.

Kang-jun smiled.

"It is as you said. I am no longer controlled by the rules of Hwanmong."

Hayun's eyes widened with surprise.

"Did you become transcendent?"

"Yes."

Hayun's face lit up. It was very meaningful to her that Kang-jun had become transcendent. It was because her destiny lay with Kang-jun as a member of his household.

"Congratulations.

"Thank you."

Hayun looked very s.e.xy at that moment, so Kang-jun immediately kissed her on the lips. His hand touched Hayun's chest naturally.

At that moment, a hot wind blew out.

"Hmm hmm! This view is a little bit embarrassing."

"Is this really necessary in the morning? They really are humans."

What was this? Kang-jun was shocked to hear familiar voices in his bedroom.

He turned his head and saw a man and woman standing in front of his bed.

They were a red-haired young man and a black-haired beauty.

Of course, they were the Top Dragon Shakan and Top Demon King Keljark.

Once they came out of his wings, they stared at Kang-jun holding a naked Hayun in bed with strange eyes.

"What? These people?"

Kang-jun asked, covering his lower body with the blanket. This situation was beyond embarrassing.

Then Shakan shrugged,

"You must have forgotten that we came together. Carry on."

Keljark also said,

"I'm sorry if I'm intruding. I'll leave."

He couldn't speak. What could he say in this situation?

Kang-jun got up and put on some clothes.

In the meantime, Hayun was almost completely dressed in perfect attire.

It was a really marvelous speed.

She knew that Shakan and Keljark were special like Kang-jun. Hayun smiled brightly like nothing had happened and led them to the living room.

"Sit over here."

Then she set some cookies she had baked and cups of warm coffee in front of them.

"We have guests today, so I will prepare a lot of food for breakfast."

Hayun seemed to enjoy the thought as she entered the kitchen and started to wash the rice. At the same time, she had Colt run some errands.

"Today, I will make kimchi stew. I will make rice while you go and buy plenty of pork and tofu. We have kimchi."

"Yes, Hayun-nim. I'll buy pork loins from in front of Jigal Street."

Colt took the credit card from Hayun and disappeared.

After a while, he came back with bags containing pork and tofu.

Hayun put all the ingredients into the kimchi stew.

Bugul bugul.

Shakan and Keljark smelt the distinct scent of kimchi stew as it started boiling.

No matter how transcendent they were, there was a myriad of things they hadn't experienced.

One of those things was kimchi stew.

Kimchi stew was a dish where you could feel the delicious taste of kimchi.

However, the smell was difficult for them to understand. There was no way of knowing if it would be delicious or not.

However, their expressions were full of expectation.

They were going to be tasting something that they had never experienced before!

It made their hearts stir.

'Indeed, these type of interesting things occur when we follow Lucan.'

'I'm certainly not bored here.'

The cookies and Americano coffee didn't stimulate their interests. Still, they had come to a strange world and were going to eat something new.

Furthermore,

the TV in the living room was a very interesting tool to them.

As transcendents, it didn't need to be explained to them as they sucked up all the knowledge.

Keljark lay on the couch with her legs curled up and changed the channels with the remote control.

"Wait! Leave it there."

"No, thanks."

Shakan tried to hold it on a channel where idol girl groups were dancing and singing in s.e.xy outfits, but Keljark switched it to a drama with a sneer.

In the end, Shakan rushed and tried to grab the remote.

"Give it to me, Keljark."

However, Keljark stubbornly defended the remote control. She stared at Shakan with fierce eyes.

"Do you want to fight here?"

"I have nothing to lose."

Two transcendents of Pavalia Station were arguing over the TV channel?

However, Kang-jun, who had just exited from his shower, took Keljark's remote and changed the channel.

"What drama is on in the morning? A girl group show is better."

"Hey, that is too much."

Keljark whined but Kang-jun disregarded it. Shakan was delighted.

Hayun laughed and called out to them,

"Breakfast is ready. Come eat."

Kang-jun stood up happily.

"Let's eat."

Keljark and Shakan also rose immediately.

"Okay."

"Huhu, I always welcome food."

They sat around the table.

The kimchi stew was spicy but tasty.

Keljark and Shakan made a strange expression at the unfamiliar taste at first, but quickly understood the taste of kimchi stew.

"Kya ~ this soup tastes great."

Spoon up! Lick lick! "This is the taste of pork."

Kang-jun admired their amazing ability to recognize the delicious taste and to seem like they had been eating it for a long time.

After a while, Kang-jun left the house.

Hayun was busy today with the operation of the Delta building, so he went to a PC room to play games alone.

However, Shakan and Keljark followed after him like they were puppies.

"Why are you coming along?"

"I will just do what you are doing."

"Yes, don't worry about it."

He wanted to enjoy an ordinary life in reality, so he headed to the PC room. This also seemed very interesting to Shakan and Keljark.

Kang-jun was somewhat embarrassed at first, but on the other hand, it made sense.

They were bored.

No, he could see that they were lonely.

Kang-jun was a transcendent and could enjoy an ordinary life in reality, but they had no such things.

Their sole pleasure after fighting the monsters in the Hall of Destruction for so many years was playing around with the small worlds.

Kang-jun's everyday life was interesting to them.

Thus, Kang-jun decided to let them experience even more fun things…

Like pork belly and soju!

A little later in the evening.

First, they shared soju with pork belly, then they went to a pub to have beer and chicken.

Then he heard about why they were playing war games. Keljark spoke first,

"Lucan, I was actually hoping that a new transcendent would appear. Thus, I started the war game."

"What does that mean?"

"If there is a war, people will experience crises and want to become stronger. Among them, there will be those who will exceed the limits. There is no one who will become stronger if it is too peaceful. They would just stay complacent."

Kang-jun frowned. He didn't like the means that she had chosen.

"Then what about all the innocent people who died in the middle of it?"

"I don't know about that, but in the end, you emerged. Lucan is transcendent due to Colladikus. I should give a bonus to him. Hohoho."

Keljark's cheeks were tinged with red. She didn't get rid of the light-headed feeling because she seemed to be enjoying it.

Meanwhile, Shakan wasn't interested in their conversation and just focused on eating.

"Excuse me, one more fried chicken and spicy chicken over here! And some beer as well! Also, please bring a plate of golbaengi muchim as well!" (Golbaengi muchim: a type of spicy sea snail salad snack consumed when drinking alcohol)

It made Kang-jun wonder when they learnt Korean.

The next day, Kang-jun enjoyed an ordinary life with Keljark and Shakan.

Keljark and Shakan became addicted to pork belly and soju and insisted that they eat it every evening. Therefore, for the first time, Kang-jun had to eat it for three days consecutively.

They it was time to go back to Hwanmong.

Kang-jun laid down on his bed as Keljark and Shakan entered his wings.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

They appeared at a point near the Hall of Destruction.

Shakan smiled at Kang-jun.

"Thank you, Lucan. I really enjoyed it. I felt the real pleasure of living after a long time."

Keljark also smiled.

"It is the same for me as well, Lucan. It was really a lot of fun. Bring me again at a later time.

After indulging in pork belly and soju, they returned to having the mysterious atmosphere of a transcendent.

Kang-jun nodded.

"Sure, feel free to come at any time."

He felt like they had become friends.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Then Kang-jun's gaze turned toward the Hall of Destruction.

Unlike when the unidentified monsters had popped out, the Hall of Destruction was swirling with an eerie aura.

A familiar aura could sometimes be felt.

Kang-jun's eyes shone.

'Doesn't it seem to be related to chaos power?'

Originally, he had planned to stop by the base in order to celebrate becoming a transcendent with Keirun and the other household members.

However, it was now more important to uncover the secrets of the Hall of Destruction.

He had already talked about it with Shakan and Keljark while drinking.

The next time that monsters popped out, Shakan and Keljark would deal with them while Kang-jun went inside.

Shakan spoke with a worried expression,

"Are you really going to enter?"

"Somehow, I feel sick. You should think about it once again, Lucan."

Keljark also warned him.

Of course, this wasn't the first time they had tried to deter Kang-jun. They had told him many times that it was ridiculous while drinking.

However, this was another chance for Kang-jun to exceed his limits.

It was an opportunity given only to those who had chaos power.

Kuoooh!

It was at that moment that the Hall of Destruction, which had been swirling wildly, abruptly became silent. Once again, a monster popped out.

'Finally!'

Kang-jun's eyes lit up. His gaze moved to Shakan and Keljark and they nodded.

The Hall of Destruction stopped swirling.

At the same time, countless monsters poured out of the hole like it was the entrance of a dungeon.

"Kukukukuk!"

"Kukakakaka!"

Shakan and Keljark attacked them from the left and right.

Kang-jun also killed them as he moved forward.

Rather than rus.h.i.+ng into an unidentified place, it would be better to enter through a gap after monsters were destroyed.

'Now.'

After a while, the crack Kang-jun had been waiting for appeared and he didn't hesitate to rush into it.

However, at that moment, something strange happened.

As soon as Kang-jun entered inside, the Hall of Destruction shook and disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, the unidentified monsters were no longer pouring out.

Shakan searched around with confusion.

"Unbelievable! The Hall of Destruction is gone!"

They had been fighting the monsters from the Hall of Destruction for many years.

Keljark sighed.

"It is good that the Hall of Destruction is gone, but I am worried about Lucan's safety."

Shakan nodded.

"The Hall of Destruction disappeared the moment he entered. Obviously, something must have happened."

"We couldn't even approach it, so how did he go in?"

It wasn't that they hadn't tried to enter the Hall of Destruction over the past centuries.

They had known it was dangerous, but they wondered about the identity of the Hall of Destruction.

However, cracks started forming on their bodies when they got close to it one day and they didn't dare dream of investigating after that.

An unprecedented energy that even transcendents couldn't endure...

That was the Hall of Destruction.

Yet Kang-jun had succeeded in entering the Hall of Destruction, so they didn't know what was going on.

The Hall of Destruction had disappeared forever, so they no longer needed to worry about the worlds being destroyed.

However, they didn't want it to happen because of Kang-jun's sacrifice.

"Lucan will come back safely."

"That's right. He is very mysterious, so he won't die easily."

Shakan and Keljark said, but they couldn't hide their feelings of unease.

It was like time had stopped as they stared motionlessly at the place where the Hall of Destruction had disappeared.

On the other hand, Kang-jun was in an extreme situation.

Although it seemed like he had entered the Hall of Destruction very easily to Shakan and Keljark, Kang-jun was almost turned to dust by the tremendous pressure on his whole body.

The energy filling the Hall of Destruction was definitely chaos power.

However, even though Kang-jun could use chaos power through the Wings of Chaos, it wasn't something he could operate freely like dimensional power.

The Wings of Chaos were a tool that allowed him to use chaos power.

It was similar to the magic staff that allowed a magician to create blazing lava.

Of course, he would be killed in the lava.

It was the same for Kang-jun.

No, the situation was tens of thousands times more dangerous.

When compared to fire, the chaos power in the Hall of Destruction wasn't at the level of lava. It was more like the sun.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

'Kuook!'

In order to overcome the pressure on his entire body, Kang-jun raised his dimensional power to the maximum, but it was useless.

Dimensional power 0/96860

Rather, his dimensional power fell to the bottom in the blink of an eye.

Kang-jun could no longer operate dimensional power.

If it was black magic energy, he could refill it through a potion, but that was impossible for dimensional power.

Dimensional power was refilled from the dimensional sea.

After becoming a transcendent, Kang-jun never had to worry about dimensional power.

However, this was a place where dimensional power was non-existent.

Once dimensional power fell to the bottom, it stayed at zero points.

Nevertheless, Kang-jun was still alive thanks to his Wings of Chaos.

Chu chu chu chu.

A strange s.h.i.+eld formed from the Wings of Chaos and protected Kang-jun's body from the pressure.

However, after a short time, cracks started forming on the s.h.i.+eld.

Jjejejeok!

Kang-jun sensed that everything would be over the moment the s.h.i.+eld broke.

'Ugh! Was I too reckless?'

He hadn't entered due to a simple impulse but a cry that felt like fate.

'Enter the Hall of Destruction! So that you can overcome your limits!'

It was this call.

The voice resembled the black-haired man that he had seen in the Guardian Hall.

However, that person had never said those words to Kang-jun.

He just unconsciously felt it.

It really felt like fate.

However, he was going to die instead of overcoming his limits.

Jjejejeok!

The s.h.i.+eld disappeared completely and Kang-jun's body was exposed to the pressure of the chaos power.

He was

going to die at any moment.

One memory from his time in Hwanmong flowed in his head.

It was that last attack that he saw in the Guardian Hall.

Kang-jun didn't know why it popped into his head at this moment.

However, his mind felt strangely calm after remembering it.

Chuoot!

His body was melting. The durability of Kadiana's Demonic Scaly Armour couldn't last.

Once he was naked, bubbles formed all over his body as it melted down.

The only thing unaffected was his wings.

However, they also appeared to be tearing.

Even in this extreme situation, Kang-jun's mind was strangely calm.

The terrible energy flowing around him started to feel familiar.

Chaos power didn't move irregularly like the name implied.

It had a flow.

The flow of chaos!

It was somewhat similar to the flow of that last attack.

As soon as he realized it, Kang-jun's head cleared.

His body was still melting and feeling tremendous pain. However, it was like his head and body were separate as Kang-jun's head started spinning faster than ever before.

An astonis.h.i.+ng thing occurred in the middle of this.

'Unbelievable! I am gaining chaos power so quickly.'

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 10: 373521/5120000

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 10: 1421422/5120000

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 10: 4345211/5120000

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 10: 5120000/5120000

As the chaos power around him permeated into his wings, the chaos power rose to the maximum in the blink of an eye.

[The wings' chaos power is full.]

[Do you want to strengthen it to the next stage?]

[Yes/No]

'Yes! Strengthen.'

Could he really strengthen his wings to Stage 10 at this moment?

Kang-jun devoted himself to it.

He ignored his melting body and the enormous pain as he strengthened the wings every time the chaos power was full.

[You have failed to strengthen the Wings of Chaos to Stage 10.]

However, immediately after failure, the chaos power just rose again.

There was no need to kill monsters and the chaos power everywhere around him entered his wings.

[You have failed to strengthen the Wings of Chaos to Stage 10.]

After becoming a dimensional sovereign, his good luck stat had increased greatly, but he still failed to reach Stage 10.

However, in the midst of one more strengthening attempt...

All the formidable pressure from his surroundings suddenly vanished.

The chaotic storm subsided.

At the same time, a brilliant splendor emerged from Kang-jun's wings.

Hwaaack!

Could it be called a feast of mysterious lights?

The storm of chaos power that seemed as horrifying as h.e.l.l, now looked beautiful due to the light from the wings.

A message surfaced.

[The Wings of Chaos have been strengthened to Stage 10.]

[You can't strengthen the Wings of Chaos anymore.]

[Your damage has increased greatly.]

[Health has increased by 100,000 points.]

[Dimensional Power has increased by 100,000 points.]

[You have awakened the Will of Chaos.]

[Chaos power will be present in all your attacks.]

[You can to understand and operate chaos power.]

[Dimensional power has been turned into chaos power.]

[Your war ability has increased to the chaos level.]

[Reaching chaos warfare has increased charisma by 20.]

[Reaching chaos warfare has increased good luck by 5.]

Continuous messages appeared. The Wings of Chaos had reached Stage 10 and Will of Chaos manifested.

At the same time, his power of war rose from dimensional level to chaos!

[Your level will rise to suit your war ability, which is at the chaos level.]

[Your level has increased by 100.]

Lv.300 (MAX)

[War] Chaos

Health: 201070/201070

Chaos Power: 198110/198110

Strength: 304 (+100)

Agility: 305 (+100)

Intelligence: 298 (+100)

Good Luck: 21 (+13)

Charisma: 63 (+21)

Kang-jun reached this state after facing destruction in the Hall of Destruction.

The Hall of Chaos formed from chaos power disappeared.

Even the transcendents Shakan and Keljark had no idea about what happened.

They just felt like the Hall of Destruction had disappeared after Kang-jun entered it.

However, that moment felt like millions of years to Kang-jun.

And after a long moment of pain, Kang-jun's body was completely restored.

It was the same for his wings.

'I survived.'

Kang-jun had a stunned look on his face for a while.

Then he suddenly smiled.

'I finally reached that point.'

The last attack that he had seen in the Guardian Hall.

Kang-jun was now able to use it freely.

He had reached the state of true transcendence that he had longed for.

Of course, it was on a different level from ordinary transcendence.

Kang-jun intuitively knew that he was a chaos being.

'Now, dimensional power feels like a joke.'

The Wings of Chaos couldn't be strengthened anymore. The last Stage 10 was reached.

His level also had 'MAX' next to it.

It could be said that he had reached the maximum level and his limits.

Reaching the extremes of his strength!

That was such a tremendous gap that it felt like he had been a child before entering the Hall of Destruction and now, he was an adult.

So, Kang-jun felt fulfilled but also somewhat lost. It was an unfamiliar loneliness that came with being the absolute being in this vast dimension.

However, that loneliness only lasted a brief moment.

Kang-jun soon realized that he was just standing at the beginning of a new staircase.

An absolute strength that didn't allow for further growth was just an illusion! There was a region beyond chaos that couldn't be seen.

There was a new world that couldn't be seen unless he became a star in the sky.

Another sky existed above the sky.

Chaos was just the beginning.

After becoming aware of this, the discouragement vanished and a new fighting spirit entered him.

Wings of Chaos: MAX!

Level: MAX!

Could he surpass this? For a while, the answer was no.

This wall was different from any limitations that he had encountered before. Maybe it was something that he wouldn't be able to overcome forever.

Of course, it might not matter much.

He was in a great state just from becoming chaotic.

Had there been people who had reached new heights after becoming chaotic?

It was Kang-jun's question.

Maybe not. But what if there was?Would they be a G.o.d?

Kang-jun wanted to see if there was anyone else who had managed to become chaotic like him.

How many chaos beings existed in this vast world?

It was clear that the Wings of Chaos were made from the will of chaos.

The black-haired man who had given him enlightenment in the Guardian Hall was a representative.

Was he still alive?

It was natural.

A chaos being wouldn't die unless they had tried to destroy themselves.

Therefore, he couldn't be dead.

He might have vanished to another place.

'Somewhere, I hope to meet you.'

There were probably many transcendents. Just as there were various dimensional stations, there would be transcendents present in them.

Each station should have at least one or two.

However, how many chaos beings were there?

He didn't know.

Suuk.

Kang-jun, who was in a state of contemplation, looked around.

Just where was this place?

He had been moving through the Hall of Destruction.

The surroundings were all dark.

'There is no dimensional cloud.'

It was a strange space where dimensional power didn't exist.

At the same time, there was the energy of destruction everywhere!

It was one of the many energies that made up chaos power, so Kang-jun wasn't damaged. However, an ordinary transcendent wouldn't last long in here.

'That's right. This place is like a grave.'

It was a space like a black hole which had caused stations to be destroyed.

If there were any living beings in here, they would have to be chaos beings.

A transcendent with some special fortune might be able to enter it alive, but they wouldn't survive unless they awakened as a chaos being like Kang-jun.

'Shall I take a look?'

It wasn't difficult to create a portal to return to Pavalia Station.

He just had to consume a bit of chaos power.

No one taught him, but he knew it instinctively, like how a spider knows how to make webs.

It was just one of the many things that could be done with chaos power.

He also realized these facts intuitively.

Therefore, figuring out what he could do with chaos power would be Kang-jun's main work in the future.

Chwaaaaak!

Kang-jun flew quickly.

This was a realm of death that even the anomalous phoenix Sajitia couldn't enter.

Therefore, Kang-jun needed to fly through here himself.

Still, there was no significant discomfort.

His normal speed could be compared to an anomaloria, which was still fast even if the anomalous phoenix was far superior.

'There is a portal over here.'

Kang-jun finally discovered something.

A space movement portal!

However, it wasn't a portal but a Hall of Destruction.

It was filled with the aura of chaos.

Kang-jun moved toward it.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

It was a tunnel full of chaos power.

Even transcendents would be turned to dust by the changing pressure!

However, Kang-jun felt no discomfort.

Rather than discomfort, it was a place that gave him strength.

His chaos power would be restored just be coming here.

Kang-jun flew along the tunnel like he was walking.

The end of the tunnel was connected to another world where something very strange was happening.

There were shadows of humans, elves, orcs and other species at the end of the tunnel.

Then the chaos power transformed them into giant monsters or, more precisely, the energy of destruction that was a part of the chaos power...

And they exited the tunnel.

"Kukukuku!"

"Kukakakaka!"

Five beings outside the tunnel started charging at the monsters.

"They came out again. Infernal b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"

"Come on, get rid of them. If we miss any, the small worlds will be in danger."

Kang-jun instantly knew that they were transcendent.

This was one of the stations in the vast dimensional system.

It was somewhere other than Pavalia Station.

Surprisingly, there were five transcendent beings.

Two dragons, two demon kings and one elf.

They were the guardians of this station and were trying to protect the small worlds here.

'I'm glad to see them.'

Kang-jun was watching them, but they weren't aware of it.

It was because no one could recognize Kang-jun if he concealed himself in the chaos power.

Then Kang-jun headed back into the Hall of Destruction.

Getting rid of this Hall of Destruction was a very easy task for him.

However, it wasn't difficult to realize that he shouldn't do that.

'Those shadows were those who came close to transcendence in their world but couldn't reach it.'

Kang-jun knew this through the chaos power.

'They are turned into monsters through the energy of destruction and attack so that the transcendents will fight against them.'

The monsters were loathed by transcendents.

However, the monsters were absolutely necessary to prevent the

transcendents from taking advantage of their power.

It created a sense of crisis where their world may be destroyed!

This stopped them from fighting in order to join together.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for transcendents to know each other. Rather, they were likely to kill each other. This could be very deadly to the sub-dimensional worlds.

Shakan and Keljark had welcomed Kang-jun because they had another ally who could fight against the destruction monsters.

However, there was a greater meaning behind the Hall of Destruction!

It allowed a transcendent person to become a chaos being! A method to break the limits of transcendents!

That was the Hall of Destruction.

Of course, it was impossible to enter the area. There were any roads but only a few could enter.

Kang-jun had entered the realm of the impossible.

Kang-jun flew for a while and saw many such Halls of Destruction.

They were all connected to other stations where transcendents were waiting.

What about the stations that didn't have any transcendents?

There were none. If there was such a place, it would already be incorporated into this dark space after being dominated by the power of destruction.

'It is really amazing.'

Surely, all of this couldn't be created by chance?

It couldn't be.

It wasn't a coincidence that this tremendous arrangement made it possible to control the transcendents belonging to the dimensional system as well as allow some to enter the path of chaos.

Someone must have done this.

Who was the person? Would they be a G.o.d? Or a higher level chaos being?

'I hope to meet them someday.'

He would either come on his own or Kang-jun would find him after reaching a higher level.

Pahat.

Kang-jun returned to Pavalia Station.

A chaos portal was created in the dark space without another Hall of Destruction.

Even Kang-jun couldn't recreate the Hall of Destruction if he wanted to.

In other words, the fearsome place known as the Hall of Destruction could no longer exist in Pavalia Station.

"Oh! Lucan!"

"You came back safely."

Shakan and Keljark, who had been gazing at the place where the Hall of Destruction had been, welcomed Kang-jun eagerly.

They breathed out sighs of relief and their eyes were filled with joy.

Looking at their expressions, Kang-jun felt that they were sincerely looking forward to his safe return.

After confirming that Kang-jun was safe, they asked out of curiosity,

"What was in the Hall of Destruction, Lucan?"

"Was it connected to another world?"

Kang-jun just smiled.

"It was a dark space. It was filled with the energy of destruction."

"Euh! It was like that."

"It is great that you survived such a place."

"I nearly died. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the Hall of Destruction appearing here any longer."

Looking at Kang-jun's relaxed appeared, Shakan and Keljark once again felt that Kang-jun was stronger than them.

However, Kang-jun never revealed his chaos ability, so he only seemed a little stronger as a transcendent.

It was because Kang-jun's power was incompatible with Shakan and Keljark.

He finally found people who could be friends in this vast dimensional system, but they wouldn't feel comfortable with him if they discovered the difference in skills.

On the other hand, Shakan and Keljark cheered after hearing that the Hall of Destruction was gone forever.

"Really? We no longer need to see those d.a.m.n monsters."

"Ha! Now, I can relax my feet and sleep well. I don't know the last time I rested properly."

Keljark really did look weary. However, she smiled brightly like she felt much better.

"What are you going to do now, Lucan?"

"I am thinking of travelling a little bit."

"Travel? To where?"

Keljark and Shakan became interested. Kang-jun didn't have any special destination yet.

"I'm going to visit other stations. It will be a little cramped if I stay here."

Shakan nodded.

"The Hall of Destruction is gone, so it won't be a problem if we leave Pavalia Station for a bit."

"That's right, I'm bored."

They acted like they would naturally go on the trip with Kang-jun. Kang-jun was dumbfounded.

"Are you thinking of following me?"

"Of course."

"I want to have fun with you. Are you leaving right now?"

They once again seemed like puppies. Kang-jun waved his hand.

"Not right now. I should look at my household before leaving."

"Then I'll be sleeping until you call. Can I enter your wings for a while?"

Keljark asked with a yawn as she pointed to Kang-jun's wings. As Kang-jun nodded involuntarily, she entered his wings.

Shakan thought it was a good idea and said the same thing,

"I will rest inside your wings, so call me when you will leave for your travels."

"Wait! Don't you have a house?"

Kang-jun was dumbfounded. It was a little strange to know that his wings were being used as portable hotel.

Of course, Kang-jun knew that there was a resting place in his wings.

For most wings, only special beings such as spirits or transcendents could enter. However, Kang-jun's wings had no such restrictions.

If he allowed it, anyone could stay.

Shakan explained with a smile,

"After becoming transcendent, I have lived without a home. I also released all my household members. It was annoying. There are those who followed me, but it is their freedom to do so and I didn't really care."

There was no such thing as Shakan's headquarters. It was the same for Keljark.

Kang-jun felt sorry after hearing those words.

They were transcendent, yet they were wandering around without a home.

Indeed, what need did a transcendent have for a house?

They could just stay anywhere and it would soon be a home.

"Then you can go in there and rest."

"Thank you."

Shakan entered Kang-jun's wings after permission was given.

'Now, shall I return to headquarters?'

Kang-jun returned to Earth Hwanmong through warp movement.

After taking the portal in the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield, he moved to his headquarters at the Delta building.

"Keirun, it has been a while."

"Oh! Lord!"

Keirun welcomed him. It was the first time Kang-jun had visited the base since becoming transcendent.

"I heard that you became a dimensional sovereign, Lord."

Keirun bowed with an expression full of turmoil.

Keirun already knew that Kang-jun had become a transcendent sovereign.

This was because one of the shadows that enforced the rules of Hwanmong was at the base of the Delta building.

Of course, it was possible for him to feel it with the intuition of an advanced military adviser even without the shadow.

His lord had become a transcendent.

"It is amazing that Lord has become a dimensional sovereign. It is my best luck that I managed to join Lord's household."

Keirun said to Kang-jun with an excited expression.

Kang-jun smiled gently.

"Keirin, it was possible due to your help. I could become stronger without worrying about my bases."

"It was just something I was supposed to do."

"I am telling the truth."

Kang-jun then looked at Keirun with a strange expression.

"I remembered something you once asked me. If you want, I will grant that request now."

"What request?"

Keirun was confused. Then Kang-jun said,

"You said you wanted to become a sovereign as well. If you want, I will release you from my household and also give you a sovereign token."

At that point, a tumultuous expression formed on his face.

He remembered his words when he first joined Kang-jun.

However, he shook his head.

"No thanks, Lord. I don't want to become a sovereign."

"Why?"

Keirun laughed bitterly.

"In fact, my desire to become a sovereign has long disappeared after becoming Lord's military adviser."

"Why?"

"From the very beginning, I didn't fit as a sovereign. Rather, as Lord's military adviser, I am more joyful and energetic than all my previous lives. So, please forget about my previous request."

"I will do so."

In fact, Kang-jun had wanted to hold onto Keirun.

It was because Keirun was necessary as his military adviser.

Kang-jun wanted to travel.

Travelling as a dimensional sovereign...

If he found a new world without a master, he planned to establish a base there.

All the worlds would be linked to Earth Hwanmong and the headquarters at the Delta building.

If Keirun was at headquarters, he would be able to take care of everything.

However, there had been the promise from when he first met Keirun. Thus, Kang-jun decided to give Keirun a chance to leave if he wanted.

He wouldn't forcibly hold onto Keirun.

However, Keirun voluntarily told him to take back the old favor, so that was welcome news to Kang-jun.

"Instead, I want to ask you for something else."

"Tell me what you want. If it is something I can do, then I will listen."

He said it sincerely. Keirun hesitated for a moment before saying,

"I didn't know if I could ask Lord for this favour. Can you get a sovereign out from h.e.l.l for me?"

"h.e.l.l?"

"That's correct. Lord is a transcendent and can make deals with those who rule over Hwanmong. If they listen, you can get anyone out of h.e.l.l."

Well, a shadow was here, so Kang-jun was planning to meet it anyway. It was because he wondered what type of deals were available.

However, one of those deals involved removing a sovereign from h.e.l.l.

"Who is it?"

"Sovereign Aniel. She was one of my allies and my lover during my last life as a sovereign. Unlike me, who escaped from h.e.l.l as quickly as possible, she is still suffering in there."

Kang-jun smiled at the end of the words.

"If that is the case, I will naturally help you. Call the shadow right now."

After a moment, a shadow appeared.

Unlike the other shadows, this one was hidden so deeply by black hooded clothes that no one would be able to tell it was a shadow.

"I greet Dimensional Sovereign Lucan."

In the meantime, Kang-jun sat on a throne in his headquarters and the shadow bowed with a very polite attitude.

Kang-jun nodded and said,

"I was told that I could make deals."

"Of course. Anything that belongs to this Hwanmong can be done according to your will. Just grant us one small request."

"Okay. I want to free a sovereign from h.e.l.l. Is that possible?"

The shadow respectfully bowed and replied,

"It is possible if they are a sovereign in h.e.l.l, but we have a condition."

"Tell me what it is."

"You only need to find one Destruction Piece."

Kang-jun made a confused sound.

"Destruction Piece?"

"There is a place called the Hall of Destruction in the dimensional stations. Killing those who emerge from there can sometimes get you a Destruction Piece."

Kang-jun pulled out one item from his space after listening.

He hadn't known the purpose of the Unknown Piece and had just kept it in his space.

After becoming a transcendent, the distinction between the inventory and space had become blurred. Now

that he was a chaotic being, he no longer needed to worry about the number of spaces.

It was possible to create a space and store as much as possible.

"Oh! This?"

The shadow expressed admiration after Kang-jun showed it the item.

"That is a Destruction Piece."

The shadow's eyes lit up. At that moment, an item description window showed up in front of Kang-jun.

[Destruction Piece]

-Rating: Myth

-A piece with the energy of destruction.

-There is a rare probability of it dropping from a monster with the destruction attribute.

It was a Destruction Piece, not an Unknown Piece.

Kang-jun had 52 of them, but he could get hundreds of thousands more.

He could move to the dark space and go to any Hall of Destruction to beat the monsters.

Fortunately, he didn't need to do such a tedious thing because only one was required. Kang-jun handed it to the shadow.

"Take this and bring Sovereign Aniel to this place."

"Yes, Lucan."

The shadow bowed respectfully and disappeared somewhere.

After a while, a balding, skinny woman appeared anxiously.

Keirun looked at the woman with mixed emotions.

"Oh! Aniel! It is definitely you."

At that moment, Aniel turned her head and saw Keirun. A blue-haired dark elf! She knew who he was.

"K-Keirun?"

Then Keirun embraced her tearfully.

"You must have suffered a lot, Aniel. I never thought I would be able to see you again."

"Keirun, how did you...?"

Aniel couldn't believe this situation. She had just been going through a terrible suffering.

She had been a defeated sovereign in h.e.l.l.

The shadow bowed to Kang-jun and said,

"Then I will be going if you don't have another request."

"Yes, you may go."

Kang-jun smiled and nodded.

In the meantime, Keirun and Aniel were hugging each other while sobbing. However, Keirun soon regained his spirit and introduced Aniel to Kang-jun.

"Aniel, he is Dimensional Sovereign Lucan who pulled you out of h.e.l.l. He is also my lord."

Aniel gazed at Kang-jun with a tumultuous expression. She staggered toward him.

"Thank you very much... I still can't believe that I'm out of h.e.l.l. Repaying this favour... If you would accept then I would like to repay the favour."

Kang-jun shook his head.

"It was already paid for by Keirun, so don't worry about it. For me, Keirun is like my right arm. I'm just granting him a favour. Now, just let Keirun take care of you and rest."

Kang-jun waved his hand as he spoke.

Then vigor filled Aniel's destroyed body. Kang-jun restored her appearance and abilities to their best condition.

"Ah!"

It was like a dream to Aniel.

Instead of the h.e.l.lish prisoner state, she had returned to looking like an elf. The ash grey hair turned blonde and full and her dried out skin became white as snow.

Keirun smiled.

"Lord, Aniel is a far superior military adviser than me. If you accept her, you won't be disappointed."

A talent that Keirun recommended! Even if she was his lover, his personality meant that he wouldn't easily recommend something to Kang-jun.

After listening to Keirun, Kang-jun spoke to Aniel,

"Aniel! Do you really want to join my household? It isn't necessary if you just want to repay a favour."

"I would consider it lucky to join the household of Dimensional Sovereign Lucan. My abilities will be helpful to you."

Kang-jun immediately accepted Aniel into his household. At the same time, he accepted Keirun's advice and appointed her as a military adviser under Keirun.

[The elf Aniel has joined your household.]

[Aniel is now your faithful subordinate.]

In the meantime, Keirun had been in charge of all the work by himself, but now, he had Aniel, an outstanding military adviser to help him.

Keirun couldn't stop smiling.

Then other members of Kang-jun's household, including Heksia and Melinad appeared and congratulated Kang-jun on becoming a dimensional sovereign.

Kang-jun gave every single one of them encouragement.

They had joined his household and would remain with him until the end.

Although they were a little weaker than the other members, Kang-jun didn't spare any encouragement for Germuz, the ogre, Rodiam, Kajel, and so on.

Then Heksia approached Kang-jun and said,

"Lord, Grania has said that she is willing to join your household. Can you please accept her? She has been waiting here for Lord for a while."

438th Army Command Grania.

In the past, Kang-jun had worked hard to try and convince her to join him.

At the time, Grania promised to join if Kang-jun won a duel against her, but now, Kang-jun's abilities already exceeded hers.

He had been so busy that he had forgotten about it, but Grania was excited that Kang-jun wanted her.

Kang-jun smiled at her.

"Of course. Call Grania."

Kang-jun had decided to only accept those with the minimum power of a demon king from now on, but Grania was an exception.

He would keep the words that he had said before.

Thus, the beautiful commander with blue wings came to his headquarters with Heksia.

She instantly fell to her knees in front of Kang-jun and cried out,

"I, Grania, the 438th Commander of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army will swear my loyalty to Dimensional Sovereign Lucan."

"Okay. I look forward to it, Grania."

[The angel, Grania, has joined your household.]

[Grania is now your faithful subordinate.]

[You have acquired an angel for the first time, so charisma has increased by one.]

He had not thought that Grania, who had the same temperament as Heksia, would be an angel.

It was the first time that an angel had joined his household.

Something had gone wrong in the Celestial World a long time ago and she fell to Hwanmong. Then she became the boss of the 40-storey Geonmulin building located in Samsung-dong.

Thanks to that, it became Kang-jun's territory and the 4,000 troops under her joined as well.

"You are an angel of the Celestial World."

Kang-jun had thought that Grania was a demon.

Not only Kang-jun, but even Heksia hadn't known that Grania was an angel as most of her abilities as an angel were sealed.

However, Grania couldn't remember what she did wrong or the location of the Celestial World.

All memories of the Celestial World had been erased.

She just remembered faintly that she was an angel.

Hwaaack!

It was at that moment that suddenly, a mysterious but sacred light started to emerge from Grania.

The power of an angel!

The momentum coming from her was equivalent to that of a demon king.

"Unbelievable!"

Grania was also baffled by such a situation.

Kang-jun was amazed.

"What is going on? You must have been quite strong as an angel."

"I still can't remember the Celestial World. Only my power as an angel was restored after joining Lord's household."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Then Grania approached with an inspired expression and knelt down, kissing Kang-jun's hand.

"I'm really glad that you accepted. I was worried that you wouldn't need me anymore."

Grania was regretful that she hadn't joined Kang-jun sooner due to her pride.

"That's why you should've joined earlier."

Kang-jun smiled and stroked her head.

At that time, the merchant, Papillio, entered his headquarters.

"Dimensional Sovereign! Crodin is here to visit you right now."

Crodin, the dark dragon... In reality, they were the boss of the Black Dragon Law Firm.

Kang-jun nodded.

"Enter."

Then a moment later, a familiar black-haired woman in a black dress entered.

To his surprise, she was Han Yeon-soo.

Han Yeon-soo, a lawyer from the Black Dragon Law Firm.

However, unlike the last time he saw her in reality, she now had something magic and bewitching around her.

Even more amazingly, the momentum coming from her was no less than Rainkar.

In other words, she had to be an awakened dragon, not an ordinary dragon.

The boss of the Black Dragon Law Firm, that was said to be a neutral power, was one of the strongest in Earth Hwanmong.

"I am the dark dragon, Crodin. It is a pleasure to see Dimensional Sovereign Lucan."

Crodin bowed politely to Kang-jun.

Kang-jun smiled at her.

"Han Yeon-soo, I didn't know that you were the dark dragon, Crodin."

Crodin looked up carefully at Kang-jun.

"At first, I was just curious because you had the weakest base among the sovereigns, but you've now reached a much higher position that it is awkward. Please forgive me for my rudeness."

"Rudeness? Have you ever been rude to me?"

Crodin scratched her head and muttered,

"Every time I stopped by your house early in the morning to have a meal... I think I was being rude."

"It was a little bit disruptive."

Kang-jun remembered when Han Yeon-soo came in the mornings to eat breakfast.

Even when Kang-jun wasn't home, she came over and asked Hayun to boil ramyun noodles.

Crodin flinched at Kang-jun's response and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I won't do it again in the future. Hayun's dishes are so delicious, but I will stop..."

"Don't worry about it."

Kang-jun waved his hand with a smile. He had only been joking. He hadn't realized that she would panic so much.

"Feel free to come and eat at any time. It is more delicious to eat with many people. Hayun also likes it."

"Really?"

Crodin's expression brightened and Kang-jun nodded.

"In the meantime, you have helped me in many ways, so I am thankful. I didn't have to think about the complicated legal matters in reality, so let's continue to eat together."

"Then I'll visit you often, hoho."

Crodin laughed loudly then flinched when Keirun stared at her.

-How dare you show such an attitude to Lord in front of me?

-I'm sorry. I was too short-sighted.

-Don't disrespect Lord. I will be watching.

-I understand.

Crodin's combat power was much stronger than Keirun's.

However, Keirun was the military adviser that would represent Kang-jun in the infinite worlds.

Most of the work would be handled by Keirun instead of Kang-jun.

This was the reality of the world!

She had to be careful in front of Keirun in Earth Hwanmong.

Crodin spoke politely to Kang-jun with a somewhat crestfallen expression.

"Lucan, there is one thing that I want to ask. It is actually the reason why I came here today."

"Don't feel burdened and tell me."

Kang-jun wondered about Crodin's request. Crodin watched Kang-jun with an awed expression and said,

"I am a neutral force in Earth Hwanmong and have been working with the Earth Defense Army to support the sovereigns of Earth. However, now, I would like to break that agreement."

"Break the agreement? Then you will no longer support the sovereigns? Surely you don't intend to become their enemies."

Kang-jun was surprised by the unexpected words. Keirun also looked at Crodin with surprised and sharp eyes.

Crodin explained hurriedly,

"How

can that be? I will continue to support the sovereigns. However, I don't want to deal with the army. I just want to accept your will as a dimensional sovereign."

Crodin asked desperately,

"I have been waiting for a transcendent person to come out of Earth Hwanmong. Can you please take me into your household? I am asking you this."

This was unexpected. Kang-jun had a grave expression on his face.

The presence of an awakened being had asked to join his household.

His increase in charisma was a reason, but it was also due to her closeness with Kang-jun.

Kang-jun got up from his throne and reached out to Crodin with a gentle smile.

"Crodin, I would like for you to join my household."

Crodin's face lit up. She immediately kissed Kang-jun's hand and said,

"Thank you for accepting, Lord. I will swear my allegiance to you forever."

[The awakened dragon, Crodin, has joined your household.]

[Crodin is now your faithful subordinate.]

[An awakened dragon has joined your household for the first time, so charisma has increased by one.]

Crodin raised her head and told Kang-jun her story,

"I landed on Earth 400 years ago. At the time, I was helping the spirits that belonged to Shakan's camp during the great battle between the demon kings and spirits in Pavalia Station. After losing most of my troops, I was defeated but I discovered Earth Hwanmong and escaped here."

Something like that had happened. He wondered what Crodin would think if she knew the two people behind that war were sleeping in Kang-jun's wings.

Nevertheless, ignorance was bliss.

Kang-jun nodded.

"You have been living on earth since then."

"Yes. I haven't always partic.i.p.ated in the work involving Earth, but I've built up a foundation from the shadows. All of that will now move according to Lord's will."

"It will move according to my will?"

Kang-jun suddenly wondered about the foundation of the Black Dragon Law Firm. Then Crodin smiled,

"If Lord would like to become an emperor that unifies the planet, it would be possible."

Kang-jun laughed at the words. She wasn't a normal dragon but an awakened one. She could have conquered the Earth at least 10 times in the hundreds of years she had been here.

However, she didn't get involved because it was the work of humans.

She just defended Earth from several hostile alien attacks. The humans of Earth didn't know this fact.

"Hostile aliens? They attacked Earth?"

"There's nothing special about the hostile aliens. They are just piratas. There are vast piratas surrounding Earth as well as Hwanmong. I just call them aliens."

"Indeed."

It was natural. It would be surprising for normal people, but not for Kang-jun who had experienced Hwanmong and bigger worlds.

"Anyway, I won't become an emperor. I don't want to get involved in reality. Just leave the people there to take care of the job."

Then Crodin spoke carefully,

"However, Lord, some of Earth's sovereigns want to get involved in the world. They want to prevent unnecessary war and change the absurd world."

Kang-jun nodded.

"It is a good idea, but there needs to be a consensus among the sovereigns. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

The sovereigns had the ability to get involved in many of the political and economic problems of the planet.

Of course, they might have different ideas and conflicts of interest.

However, they were conscious of Kang-jun's existence as the absolute sovereign, so they wouldn't do something so extreme.

He would interfere if anything happened.

Kang-jun didn't want to be directly involved in ruling Earth, but he would allow the sovereigns to get involved.

There was no special reason. He just wanted to live an ordinary life on Earth.

He would separate reality and Hwanmong.

'I will leave reality alone.'

In the dream world, he was beyond transcendent and became a chaos being.

There was literally nothing he couldn't do on Earth.

However, if he tried to control reality, all the fun of living might disappear.

He was a landlord of buildings with total assets of over 16 trillion won, so he was already far from normal.

Still, if Kang-jun wore a hat and sunglasses, he would pass off as an ordinary person.

It was fun to play games in the PC room, have beer and chicken and go on dates with Hayun.

That wasn't all.

He would curse at politicians like normal, vote on election days and help the poor people.

Sometimes he would act as a landlord and cheer for teams during baseball games. He would curse if his team lost and cheer if they won.

If all the joys of everyday life were gone then what would be fun?

Crodin noticed Kang-jun's intentions.

"Yes, Lord. I won't get involved in Earth's affairs unless there is an emergency or an alien attack. I will convey Lord's will to the sovereigns."

"Okay, good work."

Crodin was full of relief after Kang-jun accepted her as a member of the household.

Kang-jun called all his household members.

"In the meantime, everyone has suffered. Today, I will have a festival party, so please enjoy it. Those who want to take a vacation should go. Keirun! Aniel! The two of you should rest as much as possible. In the future, you will be busy again."

"Waahhh!"

"Lord! Thank you."

"Hahat! A festival!"

Everybody cheered. A festival was joyful for everyone.

At that time, Kajel ran over with a tense expression.

"Lord, a large number of demon kings have appeared at Lucan's base."

A huge battleship had also appeared in the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield, but Kang-jun just smiled.

"I called them. They are all household members."

Aboard the Rotas Battleship, the eight demon kings, including Rotas, had been summoned by Kang-jun to Earth Hwanmong.

Not only that, Aquana had also appeared at Lucan's base.

Kang-jun didn't want to alienate any of his members from the festival.

The festival was held for quite some time.

Kang-jun had 20 round trips to reality and Hwanmong.

For more than two months in real time, there was a holiday filled with festivals and parties at Kang-jun's base.

Until now, he had only been focused on getting stronger, but he didn't have to do that now that he was a chaos being.

To be honest, increasing the number of members and troops by hundreds of times didn't matter when Kang-jun was so powerful. It was because all their powers combined couldn't cope with a transcendent being. It was meaningless for Kang-jun, a chaos being, to increase the number of troops.

However, after the festival was over, Kang-jun would continue to gain power as usual and summon more troops.

As a dimensional sovereign, Kang-jun wanted to expand his worlds. It was like a fate given to a dimensional sovereign.

'I will start with the unknown small worlds of Pavalia Station and then expand to other stations.'

This was Kang-jun's plan.

Of course, during the festival, Kang-jun also rested with his household members and enjoyed the party.

Shakan and Keljark, who had been sleeping in the wings, woke up and partic.i.p.ated in the festival.

They returned to reality and Hwanmong whenever Kang-jun did.

Reality became interesting from the moment they sat down in Kang-jun's home in the Delta building. It was their intention to turn into ordinary humans and enjoy an ordinary life on Earth. It was more interesting to them than exploring new unknown worlds in the dimensional sea.

At first, they only sat in the Delta building and didn't come out of the house except to eat.

Kang-jun then found out that Shakan had built a big pork belly store near a university and Keljark was the owner of a chicken house. When they were in a good mood, they not only paid for food and drinks but also played with the customers. Their stores soon became famous and people would line up to enter.

In addition to that, Shakan built an odeng bar as well. He would head straight to the odeng bar once the pork belly store closed at 10 p.m. He had infinite stamina and sleep didn't matter, so the official business hours were until 5 a.m., but sometimes, he extended it until 10 in the morning.

He would talk and drink with guests at the odeng bar. The odeng bar had a narrow bar and only one table, so it was a place where people came and drank with strangers. Of course, it was only focused on the owner, Shakan.

In fact, Shakan was originally a very wise and dignified dragon, but that interest had disappeared.

However, as he listened to the troubles of the people who came to drink everyday, his sense of justice was revived.

From then on, strange things started happening on Earth. No, it started from South Korea, not Earth.

The salaries of hired employees rose, presidents were forced to apologize and pay for missing salaries as well as give bonuses. Additionally, terminally ill cancer patients suddenly became better.

That wasn't all.

The politicians who had lied and deceived the people apologized and retired. Suddenly, large corporations and rich people were donating everywhere. It wasn't just a show and tell donation but ones that truly helped to eliminate social inequality.

Some perpetrators of violent incidents admitted to it and committed suicide while parents miraculously found their missing children.

These things were going on but people didn't realize that Shakan was doing it. They just marvelled at the incidents.

However, Shakan tried not to intervene in national-scale events as much as possible. He just thought of it as a minor helping hand here and there.

He was worried that Kang-jun would become angry if he did anything too significant.

However, Keljark was different.

A sense of justice was non-existent for her as she was originally a demon king. She reveled in slaughter and destruction. However, as she as she became transcendent, she realized that killing and destruction were impractical.

Of course, she didn't do anything for justice. Her hands and feet would shrivel if she did such work.

She was just satisfied with not going as far as slaughter and destruction.

So far, the

only justice she did was fight with the destruction monsters who wanted to destroyed Pavalia Station.

However, she became vaguely annoyed when she realized there were bad people on earth. It was disgusting to see humans, who weren't sovereigns, live in silence while being exploited.

Of course, she tried to make sure that Kang-jun was as unaware of her work as possible.

She got rid of it according to her nature, but she just did it quietly.

From that point on, the notorious people in the newspapers joined her household.

She was famous for being very harsh on her members. She didn't make them join in order to use them, but to harass them without them being able to doing anything.

Although she was a transcendent, she didn't know she would have to go back to the drawing board.

'Annoying. Too many of them are joining my household.

She decided to screen her targets carefully.

The screening was simple, she just read the memories of the subject. She concentrated on those who were in a position to commit more bad acts in the world.

Since then, she spend half the day running her chicken house and the other half abusing her household members.

She never killed. There was no harm to their life, but there was daily mental education through thorough control and restraint! Naturally, a beating was a basic part of it.

It was a demon king teaching humans. Those who were educated went through such terrible times that they couldn't speak.

They had to try and do good on a voluntary basis, then she would release them.

All types of bizarre things started to take place all over the world.

The authorities with their own power and properties started stepping down. There were rumours that Korea would soon be unified.

Once the original power was withdraw, a new power would appear again which often added to the confusion. However, strangely, there were no such cases of this occurring.

Thus, after strange things occurred on Earth for a few months, Kang-jun eventually found out that Shakan and Keljark were getting involved in Earth's affairs.

However, Kang-jun didn't stop them.

He didn't want to touch reality itself, but he saw no need to prevent this.

He didn't want to become the ruler of Earth and Shakan and Keljark didn't either.

Both sides of light and darkness were very efficient.

Still, he did say something to them.

"Take it easy."

"Haha! Of course. Don't worry."

"I am very gentle, so don't worry."

Keljark and Shakan were pleased when Kang-jun allowed them to intervene.

On the other hand, Kang-jun was comfortable that the two transcendents were playing well.

Until then, it had been quite inconvenient since they were always stuck to Kang-jun.

Thanks to this, he could spend some quality time in reality with Hayun and explore the knowledge about water spirits with Aquana in Hwanmong.

Naturally, he didn't have any more knowledge to obtain since he had already gotten the highest level. Despite that, Kang-jun still spent a lot of time on Freya Island.

However, even though he spent a happy time with two lovers, Kang-jun didn't stop studying.

He sought enlightenment toward one step higher.

However, there was no progress since he was tightly blocked. Sometimes, he tried to return to the dark space to get inspiration, but it was useless.

"It can't be helped. I won't rush and will just wait for the time."

If he tried hard without giving up, then one day he would break through the wall.

Before he knew it, the festival was over and Kang-jun started exploring Pavalia Station with the Rotas Battleship.

The Rotas Battleship remembered a lot of warp spots, so it was easier than flying alone.

He remembered worlds that already had defenders, so he searched around for newly emerged small worlds like Freya Island.

Then he found a world filled with the energy of fire.

'Finally!'

It was Sarmandia Continent that was dozens of times larger than Freya Island.

There were volcanoes everywhere and lava rivers flowed instead of water!

It was unsuitable for humans to live, but it was the best place for fire spirits.

Not surprisingly, Klater the fire spirit queen showed up after hiding in his wings for a while.

Hwaaak! Hwaruruk!

A red light spilled from his wings and took the shape of a beautiful female.

She hadn't even come out when the festival was occurring.

Aquana had entered the wings and tried to call her out, but she had failed. Even Shakan had tried, but Klater had pretended she was sleeping.

"Oh, this?"

She looked around with an expression of wonder.

Her depressed eyes came alive again.

Then she saw Kang-jun standing to one side and said with a mixed expression,

"Thank you for the help. I haven't been able to say it since I hadn't come out of the wings."

She hadn't always been sleeping in the wings and also looked outside.

Therefore, she knew that Kang-jun had become transcendent and a dimensional sovereign.

Unlike when she first met Kang-jun, she showed a very polite attitude.

Kang-jun just smiled.

"The war in Pavalia Station has ceased, so forget about the past. The two transcendents have become my friends and the water spirits are reborn."

"Yes, I am aware of that."

She had heard it directly from Shakan and Keljark. Therefore, she forgot everything about the past.

She just didn't have the motivation to live a new life.

However, it seemed like she gained new motivation after discovering a world full of fire energy.

There was antic.i.p.ation in her eyes as she gazed at Kang-jun.

"Can you give me this world?"

"Of course, Klater. In return, allow me to make a base on this world."

Kang-jun had already built a base by consuming one Dimensional Piece.

He had intended to drag Klater out if she didn't come, but he was glad that she came out voluntarily.

Then Klater approached with an impressed expression and knelt before Kang-jun.

"I, fire spirit queen, Klater, want to become your strength in the dimensional system by creating a new world of fire. Can you please take me into your household?"

Kang-jun smiled and nodded.

"Klater. From now on, you will be a part of my household."

He stretched out his hand and Klater kissed it with a bright smile.

"I will dedicate my permanent loyalty to Lord."

[Fire Spirit Queen Klater has joined your household.]

[Klater is now your faithful subordinate.]

"I look forward to your work in the future, Klater. I have put essences in the base warehouse, so make lots of fire spirits."

Just like the water spirits, Kang-jun thought that fire spirits could be created using the Essence of Fire.

This place was wider than Freya Island, so he brought 50,000 Essence of Fire.

Klater was touched and said emotionally,

"Lord, thank you for your consideration, but..."

She stopped abruptly and stared at Kang-jun.

"It will take me a long time to handle so many fire spirits alone. Besides, I also don't have much luck. If it is a spirit world of this size, it should have many supreme spirits."

"Do you want me to help?"

"Yes."

"But I don't have any knowledge about fire spirits."

"You can learn the knowledge."

After saying that, Klater avoided his gaze like she was ashamed. However, she soon regained her courage and gazed at Kang-jun.

"Do with me what you did to Aquana. I want to see fire spirits born through Lord's hands."

"Did you see all of it?"

Kang-jun asked with surprise and Klater nodded.

"I couldn't miss such an interesting scene."

She saw it all while pretending to be sleeping.

Kang-jun was dumbfounded.

There was no privacy protection. In that case, it was better not to put someone in his wings in the future.

Anyway, that was a separate thing.

Kang-jun decided to listen to Klater's request. He had a lot of time, so there was no need to hurry and find other worlds.

Kang-jun instantly embraced Klater.

A normal human would turn to ashes the moment they embraced her, but after becoming transcendent, Kang-jun wasn't bothered.

Even now, he was a chaos being that was beyond transcendent, so the fire spirit queen was no different from an ordinary woman to him.

[You have received knowledge about supreme fire spirits.]

Kang-jun succeeded in acquiring low, intermediate, advanced and supreme knowledge about fire spirits.

Surprisingly, one single time led to supreme knowledge about fire spirits.

It was much faster than when he had acquired knowledge about water spirits because his stats had increased, so his speed in acquiring new things was faster.

Kang-jun immediately started making fire spirits from the essences.

Unlike the water spirits, the fire spirits were created by placing the Essence of Fire in a place where lava flowed.

The essence then turned into a fire bird and flew into the sky.

In that way, 50,000 Essence of Fire were consumed to create fire spirits. Among them, 28 were supreme fire spirits.

This was due to the fact that Kang-jun's good luck stat had grown sharply compared to when he made the water spirits.

"Amazing! It is unprecedented to have such an amazing fire spirit world in the dimensional system."

Klater exclaimed excitedly from within Kang-jun's arms. Kang-jun spent a few more days encouraging her before returning to the Rotas Battleship.

From then on, his exploration trip for new worlds began.

Originally, Shakan and Keljark had wanted to join Kang-jun's trip, but they decided not to due to their lives on Earth.

Thus, Kang-jun sailed around Pavalia Station with the demon kings.

If he found a new world without guardians, he would appoint one.

Naga Queen Melinad became the protector of a world, followed by Dark Mage Driana, Heksia and Grania. Even the ogre, Germuz, Rodiam and Kajel became guardians of a world.

However, most of the bases were built without guardians. He would appoint a guardian when he found a suitable talent.

The demon kings were left as combat troops, rather than guardians.

They would act as support troops when problems arose in one of the small worlds.

The eight demon kings, including Rotas, would defend Lucan's base on Earth Hwanmong and wait there for instructions from Keirun.

'Now, there are no more new worlds in Pavalia Station, so I will have to go to another station.'

From now on, it would be more comfortable to ride on the anomalous phoenix.

Then Kang-jun suddenly felt something was strange.

'What is this? Somewhere in Pavalia Station, the energy of destruction is forming.'

As a chaos being, he could feel it.

Even a transcendent wouldn't know unless they were near it.

Kang-jun focused his mind.

He could warp to any place he had visited once. It was the ability of the anomalous phoenix, but it was also possible with the chaos ability.

'This way.'

He quickly found the place where he could feel the energy of destruction was coming from.

Surprisingly, it wasn't far from Earth Hwanmong.

If Kang-jun had left Pavalia Station without knowing this place, then Earth Hwanmong might have been in danger.

Of course, Shakan and Keljark were on Earth, so they wouldn't let it fall.

Indeed, Shakan and Keljark were staring at it with a surprised look when Kang-jun arrived.

"Unbelievable!"

"How is a Hall of Destruction here?"

Then they welcomed Lucan.

"Lucan!"

"You're here as well."

Kang-jun nodded.

"I don't know why the Hall of Destruction appeared here. I will enter it. Wait for me on Earth Hwanmong and protect it."

"I understand. Don't worry about Earth."

Shakan nodded. Earth had become a very valuable place

to them, so they would surely protect it.

He wasn't worried since he had already witnessed Kang-jun entering the Hall of Destruction once.

However, Keljark became somewhat stiff.

"In the past, the energy of destruction that came from the Hall of Destruction wasn't so dark. You should be careful, Lucan."

"I also think that it is strange. Don't worry."

Kang-jun had already realized that this Hall of Destruction was different from the ones he had seen before. That's why he wanted to go inside and take a look.

He immediately entered the Hall of Destruction alone.

'There aren't any destruction creatures.'

There were no signs of destruction even when he entered.

'Someone must have created this place deliberately. Perhaps they wanted to invite me to the dark space?'

Kang-jun suddenly had that thought.

Then he wouldn't avoid it. It was impossible to avoid it anyway. Even if Kang-jun tried to avoid them, they would find him.

The creation of a Hall of Destruction near Earth Hwanmong was a warning to Kang-jun.

It would be wise to meet the person as soon as possible and hear their purpose.

'Then I will get rid of it.'

Kang-jun got rid of the Hall of Destruction.

He was worried since it was near Earth Hwanmong.

He could create a chaos portal to go back to the dark space, so it wasn't necessary to allow the Hall of Destruction to exist.

'There's someone here.'

As soon as Kang-jun entered the dark space, someone approached from a distance like they had been waiting.

'No, he is?'

Kang-jun was startled by the unexpected presence in front of him.

A middle aged man with black hair who gave off a strong impression...

He was the same person that Kang-jun had seen in the Guardian Hall.

The one who had given Kang-jun the path to chaos! He had appeared in front of Kang-jun.

Of course, the energy flowing from him was that of chaos.

However, the poisonous energy of destruction was embedded very deeply in the chaos energy.

There was a significant incompatibility, so Kang-jun couldn't understand his condition.

It was like he was being shackled by the energy of destruction.

Kang-jun was surprised.

How was all of this visible?

It couldn't be seen unless Kang-jun was equal or slightly stronger than the man.

He decided to set the questions aside and talk to the man.

"You came?"

The man spoke first. He was watching Kang-jun with an indifferent expression. Kang-jun nodded.

"Didn't you call me here?"

"That's right. After confirming that the Hall of Destruction in Pavalia Station had disappeared, I sensed that you would be a chaos being. The time it took was a lot faster than I had expected."

Even so, the man's expression didn't change. Kang-jun asked,

"You are the one who made the arrangements in the Guardian Hall."

"That's right. I am also the founder of the Heaven's Blood Sword Style.

The man didn't deny it. Kang-jun bowed respectfully towards the man.

"I wanted to meet you. Can I ask for your name?"

Kang-jun had received a lot of instruction from the man.

Almost everything Kang-jun had, including the Heaven's Blood Sword Style, had come from this man. In other words, he was like his teacher.

However, the man was still expressionless.

"My name doesn't make sense, but I will give it because you asked. My name is Shadowless."

Shadowless, an existence that didn't have a shadow.

He looked at Kang-jun coldly.

"Lucan! Now that you are a chaos being, I will tell you about what she intends to do."

"She?"

Kang-jun was startled. His mentor, Shadowless, mentioned a 'she'.

Who?

Shadowless seemed to smile as he spoke,

"She is Karosio."

"Karosio?"

It was the first time he had heard that name. Yet, somehow, goose b.u.mps started to form all over his body.

His subconscious was sending him a danger signal!

Who was Karosio?

Then Shadowless opened his mouth again,

"She is the lord that controls all chaos beings like us."

"Lord?"

An existence that governed chaos! Who was she?

"In other words, she is also called the G.o.ddess of Destruction."

Unbelievable! The G.o.ddess of Destruction!

Kang-jun's heart thumped in his chest.

A G.o.ddess? Not an ordinary G.o.ddess but a G.o.ddess of Destruction?

Kang-jun was anxious after learning about an unknown entity.

He had never thought there would be a G.o.ddess involved.

The name also implied that she wasn't a good G.o.ddess.

She was probably a demonic G.o.d.

Kang-jun asked with a worried expression,

"What does that mean?"

Shadowless replied bluntly,

"All of you came from me. If you rebel against me, everything you have will disappear."

"What does that mean?"

"This is the warning given by Karosio. She wants you to join in her work."

"What is she trying to do, specifically?"

"Karosio doesn't like the current dimensional system. She wants to destroy it and make a new one."

Kang-jun stiffened at these words.

"She wants me to partic.i.p.ate in the destruction of the dimensional world?"

"Of course. Naturally, Pavalia Station, which you control, will be excluded. However, if you refuse, Pavalia Station will be the first one destroyed."

Shadowless smiled at Kang-jun.

"You might have believed they were all coincidences. However, it was my intention to make you a chaos being ever since I conveyed the power of Hwanmong to you when you were a poor person living in a gos.h.i.+won. So, I believe that you won't make a stupid choice."

Kang-jun had goose b.u.mps just thinking about it. Everything had been arranged? It hadn't been a coincidence?

He thought he had been lucky when he received Heaven's Blood Sword Style.

Kang-jun didn't want to believe it. However, it was really scary if it was true.

"So, you gave me the Heaven's Blood Sword Style in order to make me a chaos being?"

"You have understood correctly."

"Then why choose me? There must have been many people you could've given it to."

Then Shadowless' mouth twisted into a strange smile.

"It is because you looked the most desperate. Only those who are desperate can see the end of Heaven's Blood Sword Style."

Kang-jun laughed.

"What happens if I don't follow Karosio?"

Shadowless smiled coldly like he knew he would be asked that question.

"Then you will die by my hands right now and all of Pavalia Station will be destroyed."

If Kang-jun didn't follow, he would die. If he didn't want to die, he had to submit unconditionally.

This was what Shadowless meant, which was the message from his lord, the G.o.ddess of Destruction Karosio.

Kang-jun stared at Shadowless with derision.

"Then I must die. But I won't die easily."

A brilliant light shone in Kang-jun's eyes as he pulled out his sword.
