My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 311

A dazzling light emanated from Heinrich’s back..

Paaaat—

Like the fable of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, a beautiful halo of light is gradually forming into a pair of wings..

Finally, the completed wings flap lightly with a shimmering light..

Accordingly, all the energy around him was instantly absorbed, and the concentration of divine power within his body began to rapidly soar again..

‘This···.’

Naturally, Heinrich's eyes widened slightly..

But now was not the time to be preoccupied with other things..

You can take a closer look at additional features later..

For now···.

He gripped the sword handle held in both hands more tightly..

Wow—

Concentrated sacred power was unleashed along the brilliantly shining blade of the holy sword..

Like a toxin, it penetrates the target's body without hesitation and destroys everything that resists it one by one..

“Cough···!”

Considering the normally warm and gentle nature of divine power, this phenomenon is so extreme that it is violent..

However, the energy that responds to the user's will only reacts sensitively to the object's conflicting divinity and bites it fiercely, as if it had never been so calm..

In the first place, it was not particularly strange since it was common for wars to break out due to differences in religious beliefs..

And the winner of this war has already been decided..

“Haha... this is ridiculous..”

Beoncheonhoeju, who had a sword blade stuck in his chest, laughed out loud with blood pouring from the corner of his mouth..

Unlike the pure white blood flowing from his wings, the blood flowing from his body was still red..

“When did you start preparing? I never thought I would end up like this.”

Have I given up now??

His expression, which had been contorted in anger just a moment ago, now calmed down..

The emotionless eyes, as if they had suddenly attained liberation, looked straight at Heinrich..

‘What trick are you trying to do again?.’

Heinrich did not answer the question..

I just twist the handle of the sword in my hand and pour out divine power even more violently..

Through the tip of the sword, it was reported that the opponent's vitality was being sharply reduced and he was hitting the floor..

‘Still, it's better to be sure.’

Then, attacks from other avatars and sacred spells from the main church erupted one after another..

“Haha! I guess one pair isn't enough, right? Please give me the rest of what I'm giving you, friend.!”

“Hmm, I feel a little uncomfortable. Still not that bad.”

Harley, who had pure white blood and a few feathers around his mouth, and Heinz II, who appeared like a ghost, quickly rushed in..

Harris's long-distance sniper shot from far away was mixed in with the holy light coming from all directions..

The attacks are pouring in fiercely as if they are determined to put an end to it this time..

In a wave-like flow that sweeps the area,.

“···I can't help it.”

A small voice, loud enough to be heard only by Heinrich who was nearby, came from the Buncheonhoeju..

“······!”

And as soon as the words are over.

Kiiiiing—

All those attacks.

No, the entire area.

Time stood still as if it had stopped..

‘time stop?’

Avatars and crowds standing still with a mass of energy and ferocious momentum embroidering the air like a painting.

As if a dynamic moment had been captured in a photograph, everything from breathing to every particle of energy was fixed in place in the stuffed time..

‘No, no. This···.’

Heinrich was momentarily taken aback by the majestic sight where time seemed to have been forcibly stopped, but thanks to the accident quickly accelerating, he was able to quickly grasp the situation..

Okay, this wasn't a miracle that stopped time in the world itself..

[That's amazing. I never thought you would follow me here.]

All you have to do is accelerate your thinking infinitely and stay for a moment in an infinitely long moment..

Of course, maintaining this state of complete stillness was not possible simply because of strong mental power..

[Hmm, is it because of the divine power connected to this sword? Anyway, this is the first time something like this has happened... Well, it doesn't matter at this level..]

There were other avatars here now, but Heinrich was the only one who could properly perceive this moment..

I don't know if it's because of direct contact by inserting the holy sword into the guy's body, as the Beoncheonhoeju said..

[This is not only a lot of damage. How long has it been since I failed like this before even trying to do anything?.]

The will of the other person was conveyed while looking directly into each other's eyes..

Fortunately, he couldn't move in this state, so the holy sword was still stuck in his chest..

The vitality felt through him was still at rock bottom..

[No matter how much I couldn't give my best due to restrictions, I can't help but admit that the situation has come to this point. I guess this world was a mess..]

Did he at least want to make an excuse for his defeat??

I wanted to at least scold the guy who was talking one-sidedly as if he was complaining, but perhaps because I wasn't used to it yet, my intentions didn't seem to be conveyed..

[···Is time up? Then let's leave it here..]

Apparently, he wasn't wasting his time for nothing..

Immediately after that final will was delivered, an abnormal phenomenon finally occurred in the still world..

‘This···?’

A change that occurred in the time when everything stopped.

The subject was Beoncheonhoeju, whose entire body was in disrepair with a holy sword stuck in his chest..

sssss—

The life force felt at the tip of the sword slowly began to fill up again, and the wounds in various places were sutured and disappeared without a trace..

As if he was rewinding backwards, he escaped the holy sword that pierced his body, and before he knew it, a pair of intact wings were attached to his back..

‘Intervening in time...? Wasn’t it simply a unique skill that deals with space??’

Roll Back Against Time).

However, Heinrich was able to quickly realize that the retrograde was not complete..

‘It seems like Harley's torn wings and Heinz's blood can't be touched. Can't it affect parts of the body that are already out of control?.’

If so, it was fortunate..

In any case, it is true that the absolute amount of strength was reduced by losing the wings..

Considering that the energy contained within it was unusual, the loss it suffered would not be small..

[I will remember you, Outerica's champion. Next time it won't be this easy..]

At that time, the last message was delivered from Lord Beoncheon, who had finally returned to the way he was when he first came to the Holy Land..

He had already moved as if in rewind and was far out of sight, but Heinrich, who could not turn his head, could only guess his situation by his presence..

‘···This is frustrating.’

And after the traces of Beoncheonhoeju completely disappeared,.

When I was finally able to move my body, I could no longer find him in the holy place..

All that's left is Harley's half-eaten wing and some blood that Heinz packed away..

“Heresy is gone! all alert···.”

“3Jin and Jin 4 activate the detection barrier! The rest are in a defensive posture···!”

Heinrich turned his head to one side, leaving behind the church members who were wary of the target who suddenly disappeared..

Yeah, definitely not here..

Here.

***

The surrounding scenery passes by dizzyingly as the body's time rewinds..

Beoncheonhoeju surrendered himself to the flow and quietly closed his eyes..

‘In most cases, I didn't want to waste my time..’

It was a power that had to be used with caution even now that it had reached the level of a semi-god, as it had not yet fully recovered after being seriously overloaded by using it beyond its limits a long time ago..

Because of this, the effect has become weaker than in the past and the burden has actually increased.···.

‘I can't help it.’

But this time, there was no other way than this..

If he were to die on the spot, not only would he suffer enormous damage to his divinity, but he would also incur additional losses due to non-fulfillment of the contract made with the divinity of the Abyss..

‘This is difficult. Is it really a good idea to continue investing in this world?.’

I said I would wait and see with the main champion, but no matter how I looked at it, wasting more time here was inefficient..

It's also the case that I crashed and hit the first button incorrectly before I could properly adapt to the environment of the dimension. In this case, it might be better to cancel the contract, give up on this dimension, and move on to another place..

If you unilaterally cancel the contract, you will have to pay a high price, but it was worth serious consideration considering the various difficulties such as the prophets that exist in this world..

‘I don't want to give up... First, I'll have to watch the situation a little more and make a decision..’

No matter what the process was, as long as it was ultimately successful, a certain amount of loss could be tolerated..

The moment he made up his mind and was thinking about his future..

Finally, retrograde is over.

Beoncheonhoeju could see that he had arrived at the place where he first arrived on earth..

And he slowly opened his eyes—.

[Hehehe— I can’t believe I see you here again. Nice to see this.]

right after that.

A pair of ghost fires made direct eye contact with a glowing skull..

With a gloomy voice that feels familiar after hearing it so much.

“···Ha, damn it···.”

At that moment, an obscene curse word came out without my knowledge..

Pooh wow—!

A cold hand penetrated his body, weakened by the backlash of time control, and grabbed his heart..

My limbs were already tangled with black thorns and chains sprouting from all directions, so I couldn't even move, let alone react..

‘I'm sure you've read this far?’

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts came to mind, confusing his mind..

But that's not what matters now.

In a state where resistance was greatly weakened, the power of death penetrated the heart and spread throughout the entire body in an instant..

As the opposing forces struck directly, the divinity that had been built up so far began to be polluted little by little..

‘Dangerous.’

An urgent alarm bell rang in my head..

The situation is different from before..

If this happens, it will not just end with a part of divinity being chipped away..

If this continues, even the foundation that has been built for divine status may be distorted.···.

‘I don't even have time to watch the situation..’

In the end, there were certain things to do to minimize the damage..

Even if I have to take the loss now, all I have to give is to give up and save myself..

“···break the contract.”

He frowned at the hand that was squeezing his heart as if it was going to burst, and muttered as if he were chewing..

Right after that.

Kuoooo—

A huge flash of light erupted again from the mountains of the northeastern region where the commotion was at its peak..

***

After a storm passes.

[Haha—he’s a radical guy. By the way, this···.]

Hans radiated magical power and blew away the dust flying around him..

And as he repaired the body damaged by the huge explosion, he looked at the pitch-black air current held in his hand and tilted his head..

He must have been holding a heart, but what was in his hand was something ominously writhing and resisting..

Somehow, it feels very familiar..

‘Is there anything left besides this...? That guy is so thorough..’

In fact, meeting Buncheonhoeju this time was purely coincidental..

Who would have guessed that right after changing hands with Heinrich and the other avatars to cool off, he came to investigate the abyss crack where Buncheonhoeju first appeared, and suddenly this guy would jump out right in front of us??

‘I was trying to find out how he got over it before the traces left in the crack disappeared completely..’

Of course, he was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the person who disappeared from the sacred place, but he was not so foolish as to miss the opportunity that came his way..

Although I was quite taken aback by the guy's subsequent self-destruction without hesitation..

‘How did Hans end up hitting the last hit?.’

He watched as Heinrich took care of the situation in the Holy Land, then turned his attention back to the air current in his hand..

In fact, it was even harder to ignore it because I had been holding on to the struggle from a while ago to keep trying to fall through the crack..

It seemed like even he, the immortal king, would miss it at any moment if he let his guard down even a little..

‘Of course this is···.’

At that point, I naturally knew what this was..

‘Is it related to the god imprisoned in the abyss?.’

It felt instinctive..

It is said that this and the “Immortal Heart,” which is the basis of Hans, have the same origin..

Perhaps, for some reason, Beoncheonhoeju was taken over..

In addition, strangely enough, the guy's energy was mixed in, and it seemed like some of that power was taken away along with his self-destruction..

If it were this much... wouldn't the divinity he had built up be a significant blow??

‘This really feels like I received a gift out of nowhere..’

It seemed like good luck would come to living a good life..

I was prepared to be unpaid for this job, but I never thought they would take care of me like this.!

‘Then right away···.’

I didn't know what would happen if I kept holding on to this dangerous object, so it would be better to hurry and take care of it without wasting any more time..

I knew the method instinctively.

Hans reached his hand through the hole-filled gap in his robe and plunged it into the subspace of the heart..

After all, my heart and this one had the same origin.···.

Exciting—

My heart, which had been quiet until now, was beating wildly..

At the same time, the air currents resisted roughly as if they were self-conscious, but the energy of the abyss that was already tangled together could no longer be separated..

All that's left is a fight for control.

And the competition ended unexpectedly easily..

Anyway, it was quite a strong energy, but it wasn't comparable to the pure condensation of death..

[Whoops, the abyss is overflowing..]

I couldn't really feel the change yet, but I felt it intuitively..

I believe that this incident may have brought the gap with Buncheonhoeju one step closer..

‘No, he would have come down, so it must be two steps..’

And right after that.
