My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 334

? Geumo Island (1) ?

It was an incident that no one could have predicted, as demons attacked the Murim Alliance meeting that Hugo attended, and of course, among them was Cheonma, the head of the demon cult.

The same goes for the fact that the heavenly demons had a close relationship with each other to the point where they could use the divine power of the Buncheonhoeju.

‘Even though it all happened suddenly… if you think about it, it’s not such a bad development.’

Didn’t he have another purpose on this earth besides earning karma?

This is where Beoncheonhoeju’s footsteps reach, destroying all the arrangements he left behind.

But at the right time, I ran into a key figure like this…

‘I can never just let you go. Even if everything goes wrong with the first plan.’

As the original situation changed, the plan also changed.

Hans had not planned to take such a drastic step in the first place, but he also had no intention of missing out on this great opportunity that had come so long ago.

And the result was what it is now.

Rumbling—!

In a space engulfed in darkness, like an abyss.

The Heavenly Demon trapped in that unknown barrier scattered dark magical energy and ran wild.

He frowned at the sight of the awakened undead Abyss Revenants rushing towards him from all directions.

“her! What are these gangshis? “Even Cheongangsi is not like this!”

Those entities, made from specially selected materials, not only had great combat power, but because they were created using the awakened people of the Earth, they were able to operate without being restricted by dimensions, unlike regular undead.

In addition, as can be seen from Hans’ past actions, most of its members were members of the Buncheonhoe gang he encountered on Earth…

“Heavenly Demon Emperor! Why here…? “He must have returned to Earth…!”

Among them, there was one face that was familiar to the Heavenly Demon.

In fact, it was not possible to recognize him at a glance just by looking at his face because his entire facial features were stained pitch black.

However, since everything else, starting with the martial arts used by the opponent, was familiar, it was inevitable that he would notice its identity.

In the early days when the Cheonsalmaje crossed over to the Kangwhan world, it was none other than the Cheonma himself who brought him into the Demonic Cult and supported him by providing various education and support.

In some ways, their relationship was like that of a priest.

However, the disciple whom he had sent to Earth out of regret suddenly turned into a jiangshi and was blocking his path…

“…You guys were not just monsters. Could it be that he came from Earth with powers from another world? “How is that possible?”

Cheonma, who was skeptical until the end, finally accepted the reality and ground his teeth.

This was really not an ordinary case.

To the point where I felt like the Earthlings I encountered when attacking the Shaolin Temple were nothing special.

The fierce Heavenly Demon’s eyes turned to Hans, a middle-aged man who was looking at us from a distance with curious eyes.

I wasn’t sure at first, but now I know for sure.

Although he looks like a human on the outside, the author is also not human at all, like a crazy barbarian monster.

No, it wasn’t even just a living thing in the first place.

‘I almost got fooled. Indeed, there is no way that an ordinary living being could handle such a dense power of death so easily.’

A power that is closer to the root of the concept of death than just magical energy.

Even he, who had accumulated high-purity magical energy through the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, had never seen energy of such purity in his life.

Even though it was my enemy, I unconsciously felt a sense of awe.

‘Rather than that, how on earth did you get over the dimensional wall? They simply don’t have potential like the kid I saw at Shaolin Temple. They are people who have already achieved perfection in their own way in another world. ‘Not one, but two such impurities are invading this world…!’

At this point, I couldn’t say for sure that those two people were all there was.

Who knows whether three, four, maybe ten or more numbers may already be lurking somewhere in the world?

And that was never good news.

‘Why, at a time like this! I’ve just started a great reign and am gathering dragon children!’

A variable that emerged as soon as the plan was started after defeating Geumo-do’s interference.

He cursed the sky and gritted his teeth as the situation unfolded as if he had planned it on purpose.

Since he was the one who betrayed the world in the first place, his attitude was no different from that of a traitor, but he did not have the time to judge his own interests so objectively.

“Hahaha! “Then let’s start playing, buddy!”

Now, a monster that had completely shed its human form was rushing towards him fiercely.

The strange creature, which was four meters tall and had dark red scales covering its entire body, and was armed with claws and teeth as if it were a new soldier, struck with its red-green odd eye and tore up the atmosphere.

“her! You must be so excited to have a chance, you arrogant monster. Oh, I’ll deal with you properly this time. “Right now, I’ll cut off his limbs and pull out all his internal organs.”

A cloud of magical energy mixed with sunset-colored divine power rose from the Heavenly Demon’s body.

Originally, unclean power like demonic energy should not be able to mix with divine power, but for some reason, the energy rising from his body began to naturally blend into one and further increase its momentum.

The energy has clearly become stronger than when it was used against Harley and the Shinseung at the Shaolin Temple.

He no longer cared about the aftereffects that would come later.

The current situation was not the time to save the strength that could be used.

“Did you say he was a monarch who rules over ten thousand demons? “That is an extremely arrogant term.”

Amidst the storm of rising energy, the Heavenly Demon quietly opened his mouth.

Even during this time, it was as if I was forcing out the ominous feeling that was secretly seeping into my heart.

“This body is Cheonma, the 14th leader of the Cheonma God Church. By all accounts, he is the best person in the world of the current martial arts world and stands at the top of the world. But do you think that I, who ascended to heaven and became a demon, would bow down to a hybrid from another world?”

Unlike usual, the words he spoke with a heavy tone were filled with self-confidence that bordered on obsession.

As if I were forcing myself to repeat that.

Kwaaaang—!

Immediately after, Harley collided with the black sword gushing out from the Heavenly Demon’s Sword, her expression distorted and the corners of her mouth raised.

Currently, he is in a complete state and has a body strong enough to ignore most attacks, but the energy formed by mixing divine power and demonic energy has a power that far exceeds his expectations.

Moreover, unlike before, isn’t the other person not even thinking about the future now?

“He ascended to the sky and became a demon…”

At that time, Hans, who was quietly observing not only the undead but also the Heavenly Demon fighting against Harley through the “Eyes of the Abyss,” slowly uttered one word.

A faint, meaningless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Kkekekeke—yeah, I guess it might be fun to check that out. “Who was really arrogant?”

It was a laugh filled with a subtle sense of discomfort.

In addition, there are even eyes that look down from above, as if looking down on the struggling creatures.

“Well, the result has already been decided. Haha!”

Goooooh—

With a grim laugh, the dark magic that filled the interior of the barrier shook loudly and spread a resonant sound.

Like a mournful song heard from a graveside in the middle of the night, like a funeral to commemorate someone’s last days.

Ugh- rumbling- blah blah blah!

The huge magic circle that started from Hans began to encroach on the space, and a fire that seemed to have been pulled out of purgatory and a chill close to absolute zero condensed in the air.

Such mysterious phenomena multiplied in an instant as if filling the interior of this space.

At the same time as the lightning flashed fiercely, gravity stirred, black shadows resembling hands swayed on the floor, and a sharp wind blew.

Each and every one of them is a feast of mystery that cannot be easily seen in this Kangwhan world.

Of course, it was not a very beautiful sight for those who became its target and experienced its power firsthand.

“…This is such a dog.”

And it was only natural.

No matter how great the Heavenly Demon, the best of the Kangwhan world, was, he had no choice but to be forced to fight at a disadvantage in the face of the absurd concerted attack of the Immortal King, who had driven a continent to the brink of destruction, and King Tu, the legend of the Southern Tribal Alliance.

In Outerica, they had a hostile relationship with each other as members of the hero’s party and as the world’s absolute evil, but in this Ganghwa world, it was a perfect honeymoon relationship where they helped each other in their work.

***

“Cough!”

Black discolored blood flows.

The blood that poured from the mouth like a waterfall barely stopped after forming a small puddle at the bottom.

The Heavenly Demon now removed his remaining hand from his mouth and calmly looked around again.

Numerous remnants of Jiangshi were completely destroyed by his attack and littered around.

The shattered jiangshi fragments all around were absorbed into the abyss-like surrounding space and disappeared.

Perhaps some of them will be restored and come out again to deal with him again.

‘…It’s over. ‘How did it come to this?’

But the ones that are the problem now are not those idiots.

“Hehe~ As expected, my blood is boiling! How long has it been since this fierce battle! Hahaha!”

Harley, a savage berserker who bursts into rage with a look that is just as messed up as this one, having already exchanged critical blows with each other several times.

“Very interesting. It’s the correlation between divine power and magical energy. And…”

In stark contrast, Hans, a warlock, mutters to himself while surrounded by numerous undead and colorful magic.

On the outside, it looked like it was full of loopholes, but the Heavenly Demon already knew.

They seem very carefree now, but the moment they try to do something, they will immediately resume their attack without a word of warning.

Just like it has been until now.

‘Puh-huh, it was somehow ominous.’

The Heavenly Demon’s gaze turned to Hans.

Now I can clearly understand.

Why did his instincts react so unusually when he appeared?

It was the same with Harley, who faced him before him, but that man was an even worse match.

‘Nothing works. It’s truly an invincible enemy.’

The biggest characteristic of a magician using demonic energy was his killing power.

In particular, the fact that it causes particularly fatal damage to living creatures was enough to make other martial arts people wary of fear… Actually, it had no particular effect on Hans.

To begin with, he was already an undead with dark magic and the energy of death filling his body.

Additionally, another problem was that even the excessive use of divine power did not yield much results against the opponent.

The Heavenly Demon couldn’t figure out the cause, but it happened because Hans had stolen and absorbed the divinity mixed with his rank and karma during a fight with Lord Buncheon a while ago.

In the process, he naturally became resistant to the power derived from it.

Of course, I don’t know how effective this level of resistance would be on the power used directly by Lord Buncheonhoe himself, but the indirect influence exerted by the person who received power from him was no longer a big threat to Hans.

‘This is getting ridiculous.’

The Heavenly Demon sighed in despair.

Now, using my divine power unreasonably with this completely ruined body was reaching its limits.

He felt that his death was fast approaching.

The moment this moment of leisure ends will probably be your last.

When I thought of that, I became sentimental and felt renewed.

‘It’s been such a long time.’

It’s been about 70 years since I came to this world of Gangwhan.

In the meantime, based on the support of the Beoncheonhoe, he was able to rise to the position of Heavenly Demon and become the leader of the new religion.

And now I thought that all that was left to do was to stand tall as the world’s one and only absolute ruler…

‘I never would have thought that everything would go wrong like this right before the full-scale implementation.’

Suddenly, the image of Beoncheonhoeju, who suddenly visited him twenty years ago, came to mind.

A god-man who descended in front of him with a pair of wings on his back and his entire body covered in brilliance.

The culprit who ruined this world and the benefactor who helped him grow to this point.

Although he obediently followed Buncheonhoeju’s plan according to the original contract, he did not feel any particular resistance to that fact.

In the end, it was clear that if all went according to plan, he would actually dominate this world, and at the time, he could not have imagined that the plan of that awe-inspiring, perfect superman would go astray this much.

‘I never thought there would be other people similar to Hoeju.’

The Heavenly Demon raised his head straight as he felt the strength slowly draining from his body.

A huge monster with all the body parts of a monster, with no human elements to be found, and a middle-aged man, surrounded by a black and sticky aura and escorted by undead, are coming towards us.

No matter how you look at it, its appearance was very comparable to that of Beoncheonhoeju, who had the appearance of a holy angel.

“Hmm, have you given up now? It’s faster than expected. As expected, it can be said that the sacred power was focused on strengthening rather than recovering. “We got good data.”

“Hehe, I’ve prepared quite well. “If I had focused on escape from the beginning, would I have been able to escape?”

“Kkekekeuh well? I don’t plan on missing this one either. “Let’s just say this isn’t all we have in store.”

“…Tsk, I got caught wrong.”

The Heavenly Demon quietly closed his eyes as he felt countless hands rising from the floor and black chains wrapping around his whole body.

As things turned out like this, I wanted to see my hometown one last time.

I thought I had abandoned the Earth, which had only hurt me, a long time ago, but now that the end is approaching, all I can think of is my hometown.

Kwaak—

A leather-gloved hand grabbed his head tightly.

and-.

“…The Dragon Child and Geumo Island. I guess I’ll have to contact them first.”

An ambitious man who dreamed of ruling the Ganghwan world as a member of the Beoncheonhoeju Church fell into the abyss.
