Chapter 240: The Unstoppable Shadow Army
As the dimensional gates spread across the solar system and beyond, threatening to tear through the fabric of reality itself, Sung Jin-Woo's response was swift and overwhelming. The multiverse's protection now rested in the hands of his most formidable creations—the materialized shadow soldiers.

1. The Power of the Shadow Army
The materialized shadow soldiers were not mere warriors—they were the pinnacle of Sung Jin-Woo's divine power. Created from the essence of defeated enemies, these soldiers ranged from the fearsome S⁹-Rank to the near-immortal S⁹⁹⁹-Rank hunters. There were centillions of these soldiers spread across the multiverse, each one a master of combat and destruction.
These soldiers were not simply stationed in one place—they were deployed across the vast expanse of the cosmos, from the realms of the Apostles of God to the domains of celestial beings, from the depths of the Shadow Abyss to the thriving worlds protected by the Second World Trees. With the sheer number and power of the materialized shadow soldiers, no corner of the multiverse was left unguarded.
Their purpose, however, was clear: defend the multiverse from the threat of dimensional breaches, and in doing so, expand their numbers and power through every conquest.

2. Focusing on Critical Gates
While the shadow soldiers were vast in number, Sung Jin-Woo's tactical mind ensured that they were not spread thin. The materialized shadow soldiers were specifically assigned to dimensional gates that were on the verge of breaking. These were the gates that posed the greatest danger, their potential for destruction far outweighing the risk of the lesser gates.
Each time a dimensional breach was imminent, waves of materialized shadow soldiers would rush into the gate. Led by high-ranking shadow commanders, these soldiers would storm the dungeons, wiping out every monster in their path. Their relentless assault would ensure that no gate remained open long enough to cause a breach. As these shadow soldiers battled through the realms, they harvested essences from the monsters they defeated, along with corpses that would become the raw material for creating new shadow soldiers.
With every raid, the shadow army grew larger, stronger, and more fearsome. Their ability to reproduce and amass power through their victories made them an unstoppable force. The monsters they faced may have been fierce, but they were mere fodder for the growing army of the shadow.

3. The Infinite Expansion of the Shadow Army
The sheer scale of the shadow army was unfathomable. With each raid, not only were the gates sealed, but the number of shadow soldiers also grew, exponentially. The materialized shadows now filled realms and planets, and their relentless expansion was unstoppable. The victory in each raid didn't just mean the closure of one dimensional gate—it meant the creation of more shadow soldiers, the strengthening of their collective might, and the securing of more territories in the multiverse.
Every fallen monster became a potential soldier, every boss monster defeated, a new leader for the army. Their numbers would rise to meet any threat, and their power would only increase with each victory. What was once a contingency force had now become a dominant presence in the multiverse, unstoppable and ever-growing.

4. A Force Beyond Compare
The materialized shadow soldiers, as vast and numerous as they were, were not limited by time or space. Their creation was continuous, an unending cycle of death and rebirth, driven by the essence of the defeated and the divine power of Sung Jin-Woo. Each raid, each battle, only added to their strength, and as their numbers grew, so did their influence.
While the dimensional gates continued to expand across the solar system and other realms, the shadow army stood ready. No matter how powerful the monsters, no matter how chaotic the realms became, the materialized shadows were the ultimate force to keep the multiverse in balance. Their power was limitless, their loyalty unwavering, and their strength, immeasurable.

5. The Multiverse's Shield
With the materialized shadow soldiers at his command, Sung Jin-Woo had effectively created an indomitable shield for the multiverse. As the dimensional gates continued to threaten the balance of the realms, this army would act as the ultimate counterforce, wiping out any and all monsters that sought to spill out of the gates. Their raids were more than just strategic attacks; they were a continuous cycle of growth and ascension for the shadow army.
Through this endless process, Sung Jin-Woo's shadow soldiers would remain the primary protectors of the multiverse, ensuring that the dimensional gates would never again pose a threat to the worlds and realms that now flourished in harmony. Their unyielding power, combined with their ability to reproduce and adapt, made them an essential part of the Divine Triad's vision for the multiverse's future.
As the shadow soldiers continued to spread across the cosmos, one thing was clear: the shadow army would never stop growing, and with them, the multiverse's safety was assured.
