(Chapter 71)

He spent five years just to feel the Space Mana, then spent thirteen years to master the basic, another twenty-seven years to master all the moves of Supreme Geno Art; Spaceblitz.

Then he proceeds to learn about the Time as he asked Eggie, that snaps his finger and nothing changes to the place.

'... No... The stars and galaxies... Are moving?...'

But Shyrveen noticed the forever frozen stars in their surrounding started to spin and move in any direction.

"That's right, with your mastery towards Space, Time will only tell when you can handle itself. 45 years for mastering the Space is already good with that kind of mind, a mind that only born from memories and experiences of the body. Add that you spend some time reading and learning other things or else, you might spend millennia learning these two major elements instead."

Eggie shrugs and started to teach Shyrveen about the Time element.

Another year was spent, fifty-plus years were needed this time to be used for Shyrveen to know about the Supreme Geno Art; Timeflux.

Before moving to any kind of landscape to know about any kind of beasts in Earth, to replicate their egos, attitudes, and personalities, for the mastery of Beast Shard's Supreme Geno Art; Bestial Ingress.

But for the Beast Shard, he only spent less than thirty years since it is much easier to understand the beasts than those elements that reaching the far corners of the cosmos, but the beasts are still more plentiful than understanding the Ice.

Then he spent a few more months meditating as Eggie's order before Eggie dissipates from Shyrveen's sight then Shyrveen lost consciousness after that for an unknown time.

After waking up, he was dazed for a moment because of the merging of his mind, Soul of Eggie, and Remnants of Irveen is now done and his complete mind is rereading the knowledge, experiences of both pure Souls.

As he is dazing into the unknown space, one tear from his eyes started to crawl down on his cheeks, two drops, three drops, ten drops, and soon became a waterfall.

"... Huu..."

He released a deep sighed and looked at his palms before smiling with many emotions that mixing while remembering everything that he experienced, from the day after the great disaster struck when he was still in the Philippines, to South Korea and when he was sent out to God's Sanctuary.

And mostly his mind was filled with Yang Manli's face that smiling so lovingly at him, her naughty smiles, and lastly the sadness within her eyes after seeing his body that full of scar instead of disgusting looks.

"... This time, I can say the words to her face without any problems... Haa... Alright~ Time to get out of this place!"

He stands up as he wipes out the tears on his cheeks and smiled naturally, and looked back just to see the four Soul Shards that floating and shining in the midst of his inner mind that in the midst of cosmos.

"So... That's the reason why he was hiding in the egg too for whole decades even though he can use the powers... His Soul Strength is not enough to handle the burden of those powers if used continuously, powers of the highest being in the universe, or else he will be eaten by it instead..."

["Don't seek the last three shards in the first sanctuary until you maxed the five Genes.

After you got the 7th Soul Shard.

You will feel that the body already reached its limit and by that time, you only have at least 1 hour to evolve into Evolver with the same status of the past body of Irveen when he was still alive as Absolute Being... The Omnipresent Body.

If you failed and didn't achieve the said body as you become Evolver after the one hour limit, your body will explode and that's the 'Game Over' for you..."]

Shyrveen crackles his neck from the thirty years pressure, even though the thing about his mind is already resolved, the next problem now is the body.

'Ah shit! Here we go again~'

["And it seems that a new problem sprouted, don't you think?~

Remember the eleventh 'nightmare' that should be in the first place?

That is the last hint that I recovered from Irveen, obviously, Irveen put this in his memories instead of knowledge in the first place.

So, when he was successful evolving towards the higher sanctuaries, he won't have any problems with the real identity of the body.

Yes, it seems that the body is not a denizen of Earth, or citizen of this Magical Universe.

But, unfortunately, I can't help you anymore even after we finished merging, and you with Irveen's pure remnants.

So, this is it... Goodbye and have fun... Me~"]

"... Huu... That shitty being!... Is it because of the body's real potential?... If it's the case then, it's understandable that he snatches this body from the Great Gene Universe and went back to Earth to grow up peacefully... Because he is a wanted individual by the Gods...

What!?... I need to carefully get stronger or those Gods might recognize the Supreme Geno Arts... Relax, relax, relax. Even though I have my emotions now, it doesn't mean it will affect my decisions just like that... I need to start planning again..."

He spent another few months pondering and thinking about the possibilities inside of his inner mind while thinking about what happened to Irveen when he was living for three hundred years in the dream world.

And since Eggie already told him that this place is ten thousand times or more faster than the outside, he put this to full advantage.

Even though he got the Space and Time Shards now, he is not that overpowered yet, because the Gene Locks of those paramount elements are restricting the element's maximum potentials.

And now he only has the Teleportation Skill of Space and Slow Skill of Time, but fortunately for him.

The said instant usages of the two shards are both used once only, leaving him another three usages before the shards dim again, and locking his Supreme Geno Arts; Spaceblitz and Timeflux.

At that time, he needs to gain the right count of Super Genes to finally used the shards freely.

"... This is bullshit... Eggie can use the Space and Time casually but I can't?... We already merged though... Maybe because they were Souls and the restrictions of Gene Locks doesn't apply to them?..."

He scratches his head for confusion even though he already got the knowledge of both souls.

He sighed again and decided to get out of his inner mind now.

He reappears in the same position with a fully healed body before he used the Absolute Zero skill, then he saw the same destroyed landscape of Tokyo but there's the only difference that made him stunned...

A few days after Shyrveen's consciousness was plunged into the darkness after he activated the final move of Icesheath.

His real body was encaged by a purple and black liquid substances and absorb all the Mana of the ice dome that melted into nothingness.

Even the ice coffins was absorbed too, dropping the four corpses on the ground.

After a few minutes, Sung Jin-Woo was stunned after seeing the human-sized egg floating on the ground while glowing and releasing some blue, purple, orange, and black mists around it.

Then he saw the corpses of four that made his eyes widen in shock and confusion for what happened after he went inside.

It was already planned that he and Shyrveen will go inside the Gate but he walked forward instead after waiting for a full ten minutes that Shyrveen didn't appear yet and he just thought that he was stopped by Yang Manli.

Until his mind was filled by the man that has been restrained by the big chains on the end of the dungeon.

Knowing that he was one of the Monarch called Legia, Monarch of the Beginning, he stopped thinking about Shyrveen for the time being.

But now, he falls on his knees on the ground as he self-contempts that if he decided to go outside for just a second.

"Just for a fucking second... And I'll know what happened here and helped them first instead! Arg!!!"

'Hyung-nim!'

And now he remembered the voice of Yoo Jin-Ho that calling onto him with expectation and happiness after seeing him.

But soon he was tackled for the first time and hurriedly punch the creature that pounced on him and disappeared and reappears far enough to see what tackles him while pulling out the demon king's shortsword.

However, he saw Yoo Jin-Ho crying while squirming as he grabs his stomach on the ground while being helped by Yoo Soo-Hyun, and found Han Sen and Yang Manli sitting on the ground while sighing and everyone is sweating profusely.

Sung Jin-Woo blinks and now really confused about this and glances back to the corpses that soon dissipated into thin air.

"W-What's happening here?"

"H-Hyung-nim... Ugh! It's so painful..."

Yoo Jin-Ho tried to stand up but only to go back squirming on the ground again from the pain while trying to ignore the slight fear in his heart.

"Why the hell did you tackle the person who's an S-rank Hunter while being under the effect of Dream World?..."

Yoo Soo-Hyun scolded him as she shakes her head from seeing how idiotic her cousin is, but she's trying to fight the mild fear that affecting her body too.

That was caused by the Beast Monarch.

"As Soo-Hyun said, this place is being... Under the influence of Dream World... After seeing you kneeling on our 'corpses'... I tried to calm down Deisy to take back the Dream World... But it took me a few seconds... that's why it's been prolonged till Jin-Ho tackled you..."

Yang Manli explained in between her breathes while trying to wipe her sweats with her trembling hands.

"... But why it happened in the first place, sister Manli?'

Sung Jin-Woo was stunned and foolishly standing on his place as he asked but only to wake up from his trance after hearing what Yang Manli said.

"Haa... That's... Let me calm down my nerves too... It's still under... The fear state... Shit..."

"Quadruple shits!... Haa..."

Han Sen seconded while racing to catch up with his breath as he lay down on the ground so tiredly.

'What the hell happened here and everyone is scared to their bones?...'

Sung Jin-Woo shook his head and walked up to them and take back the fear and cautiousness.

He even saw how the bodies of Yoo Jin-Ho and Soo-Hyun flinched from his taps on their shoulders.

"... Let me help you all."

The two Yoos felt a warm feeling, security and relief switched the feeling of fear that trying its best to go inside their minds.

"Haa... Thank you, Hyung-nim!..."

Both slumped on the ground after thanking Sung Jin-Woo then he went straight to Yang Manli first.

But both of them stops him from doing so and stated.

"Don't!... Haa... Huff... Let our bodies... Cope up... With this fear..."

"Because those creatures... In the higher place... They are much worse than this..."

Sung Jin-Woo was stuck between a hard wall and a wide ocean.

He wanted to help them to elevate the fear from their hearts.

"That... You sure?..."

But only to see the determined eyes as they nodded to him

"Very sure... Since there is an individual... Giving us this..."

"It is... A blessing in disguise too... Fortunately that... Deisy is with us this time..."

Sung Jin-Woo finally gave up persuading them and thought about the creatures that much worst than the Monarchs.

"... Alright..."

Then he helped the other two Yoos to calm down instead.

And Yang Manli fell on the ground unconsciously while her body is still trembling.

Making the four worried and hurriedly went to her side, but they saw the little purple dragon appeared on her chest and shaking her head, side to side before nodding to Sung Jin-Woo, then curls her body as she went back to sleep.

After one hour.

Yang Manli woke up from her sleep and burst in tears.

Han Sen comforted her while Sung Jin-Woo is asking for what's happening, making the two Yoos curious.

That's when Yang Manli told them about Shyrveen inside the egg and what happened inside the inner mind.

"YES!!! Finally!!! - Ah! Shit!"

Han Sen hurriedly stand and punch the air but only to fall on the ground because of the fear state on his body.

Both aliens already familiarized themselves with the fear and mastered to deny the fear of consuming their mind for its rationality and only restrained it in their bodies instead, but doing so, it multiplied the effect on their bodies.

Yoo Soo-Hyun went to Han Sen's side and softly brush her hand to his back to comfort him.

"Thanks! But still! Brother Shyr's main problem is solved now, right!?"

"Yes... But you fool! We didn't even help him at all! He planned all of these things by himself!"

Yang Manli shouted but not for she is angry but relieving her stressed mind before staring again at the egg.

'... I'll wait for you, darling...'

Then another one hour passed, Han Sen and Yang Manli are both cultivating beside the egg with a lot of Magic Crystals beside them that Sung Jin-Woo gave them that he got inside the S-Rank Gate.

And that's when the people consists of reporters and other officials of the Japanese Hunter's Association came towards them.

"Sung Jin-Woo Hunter-nim!"

Hunter's Association Chairman Matsumoto Shigeo called out after getting out of the helicopter while smiling bitterly.

Three or more hours ago, that they saw the shot from the spy satellite's magic energy detection camera looking down on Earth from space.

This camera displayed the magic energy detected in terms of light spheres.

The stronger the magic energy, the brighter the light would be.

Weaker magical energy would naturally lead to a smaller light sphere.

There was not one person among everyone present in this situation room who didn't know what that specific gigantic light sphere making itself at home in the middle of Tokyo represented.

No, there are three gigantic light sphere and they don't know exactly who is the third individual that can rival that 'person'.

Then almost a thousand smaller light spheres gathered and stood right behind the certain second large ball of light.

Every Association staff member watching that enormous number turned pale from sheer fright.

"T-Those, all of those are Hunter Sung Jin-Woo's summons!?"

"Oh, my god..."

"Even with a casual headcount, isn't that over five hundred?"

The Association Chairman Matsumoto quietly leaned his head closer to the agent from the analysis department sitting next to him.

"How many of his summons are there exactly?"

"Because several lights are overlapping with one another, it's difficult to tell exactly, but at the least, I believe there are well more than 800 creatures, sir."

'... 800 creatures, he said...'

Matsumoto massages his nose bridge from hearing this.

Since a member of the analysis department even bothered to mention 'well more than' in his sentence, the offered number should be seen as the absolute minimum value.

'Even when looked that way, this was already twice the number of summons first seen back in Jeju Island...'

Matsumoto was inwardly astonished.

'It hasn't even been that long ago, but just when did he double the number of his summons!?... No, it was already not normal to increase the number of one's summons, to begin with...'

His trembling hand wiped the area around his mouth.

If this man was considered an enemy, then without a doubt, Matsumoto wouldn't have been able to see a way out, but knowing that Sung Jin-Woo was an ally, his mind had never felt this comfortable before.

'What a relief it was that Hunter Sung Jin-Woo had graced his mercy on Japan like this...'

The Association Chairman Matsumoto barely recovered from the mental shock and shifted his gaze back to the large screen.

"... But care to tell me your thoughts for who is this person?"

Matsumoto pointed at the third gigantic light sphere just beside the second gigantic light sphere that they can tell that it was Hunter Sung Jin-Woo...
