Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 488

As a bright white light spread out from under the Demon God’s fist that had struck down,

“Okay, this time, I’ll try to win.”

The moment Rowoon’s small voice was heard.

Crackkk-!

The Demon God’s fist began to crack, with fine fissures appearing.

The cracks, exploding outwards, extended up to the Demon God’s arm, but then.

Kuuung!

With a massive explosion, it was as if time had stopped, a moment when everything in the world had frozen.

Grrrk-!

The stopped time now seemed to rewind, as the Demon God’s cracks slowly began to disappear.

Whoosh-!

Flames erupted from the fist that had struck Rowoon.

The flames gradually took shape, and the form that was created was….

-God Annihilation.

It was the magic circle of God Annihilation.

Whoooosh-!

An insane pressure poured down from the struck fist, emitting an intense light that seemed capable of shattering the entire land of Gehenna [a hell-like realm].

Crackkk-!

The ground and air were splitting.

It was the power of the Demon God, once called the first king of Gehenna.

‘Chaos.’

It was a moment that clearly showed the power held by a part of Chaos.

However.

Crackkk-!

Even that was shattered.

A bright light that seemed to swallow everything.

The Demon God’s fist was flung away, and the shock traveled up the Demon God’s arm.

Stagger!

The Demon God lost balance and began to fall.

Bang-!

A sonic boom echoed.

Soaring up like a bird, no, like light, was.

“…….”

It was Rowoon, who had awakened the power of Chaos.

Until now, when Rowoon had been consumed by the power of Chaos, his consciousness and will had been swallowed by Chaos as well.

But at this moment.

“Verzenna.”

Rowoon was maintaining a clearer mind than ever before.

The fragment of Chaos that had merged with him.

No, the thing that was a mixture of consciousness and chaos derived from him.

-Do it.

That was the secret that was maintaining Rowoon’s sanity right now.

He was in the sky, closest to the clouds, yet only then did Rowoon reach the same eye level as the collapsing Demon God.

Drrrrk!

It was as if time had stopped once more.

The ability to reverse and manipulate time was one of the most power-consuming abilities among the transcendent powers.

It was something that could only be done by enduring all the pressure exerted on the world during the stopped time.

Therefore, it was an ability that only a transcendent being, who could shed the guise of existence and influence the world, could use.

However.

Woo-oong-!

A bright light emanated from the Demon God’s body.

The moment the light of Chaos was emitted.

Shweeeek-!

Rowoon fell from the sky, beginning to plummet.

It was an absolute power that ignored Rowoon’s will to resist.

‘Time….’

It wasn’t just about stopping time.

‘It’s reversing it.’

It was reversing and turning back time.

It was something beyond the concept of stopping.

Even having entered the realm of transcendence, it was not an easy feat.

However, the durability of the Demon God’s existence and the unbelievable power he possessed.

Thud!

It had reversed time to the point where Rowoon was under the Demon God’s fist.

What was shocking was not just that.

The Demon God.

Woo-oong-!

Was not enduring the cost of reversing time with his own body.

He had paid the price for reversing time himself.

Kwaaaa-!

But that pressure was contained in his fist, heading towards Rowoon.

Pressure stronger than before.

“Kuh-uck!”

Rowoon felt the pain of his entire body being shattered.

The pressure of reversing time was that immense.

“Kuh-uh-uhk!”

Time.

“It’s not just you… who can touch it.”

Was also a realm he was connected to.

Shweeeek-!

A strong wind was felt.

Above the sky.

Rowoon was looking back at the Demon God, who was staggering and collapsing.

Hwaaaak-!

Added to the pressure of the world that the Demon God had endured, the pressure of reversing it was erupting from Rowoon’s entire body, emitting light.

* * *

The most important thing in the realm of transcendence was the power to control time.

One minute was the time that determined the fate of the world, and one second was the time that determined victory or defeat.

Who could control more time, more perfectly?

Kwaaang-!

If that was the battle in the realm of transcendence.

Hwaaaak-!

For those who could live in the same time, their power and other abilities were more important than time.

The Demon God.

In the body of the first king of Gehenna.

-Demon King.

The will and power of Verzenna, the second king of Gehenna, resided.

With that surging power of Chaos, the Demon God was emitting an even more intense wave.

Rowoon was confronting him.

Rowoon, who had awakened the power of Chaos, could maintain the same time zone as the awakened Demon God.

Chwaaak-!

But the power he was wielding was the power of the Martial King, the Demon King, and the Sword King.

The bright light burned away, changing color.

The colors that had turned black and crimson dyed the Demon God’s entire body.

From the Demon God, who was enveloped.

Kwaaang-!

Massive explosions occurred in succession.

But all that light was sucked into the Demon God.

Hwaaaak-!

Becoming the Demon God’s power, it was spreading out again.

“Hoo.”

Rowoon, who had stepped back for a moment, took a breath and looked at the Demon God.

Everything he had seen in Gehenna….

‘Monsters.’

They were special beings that deserved to be called monsters.

But now, a true monster was before his eyes.

An already formidable durability and an overwhelming total amount of power.

Finally.

Woo-oong!

The Demon God, mixed with the magic of God Annihilation, was truly a monster.

Among the fragments of Chaos that Rowoon had seen so far, he was the closest to Chaos.

And.

Kwaaaa-!

The power that extended from the Demon God’s fist covered Rowoon.

Rowoon, who had barely protected his body with the power of the Divine Demon within the swirling power, barely managed to regain his stance.

Even though he had awakened the power of Chaos.

“Hoo-oo….”

Facing the Demon God was not easy.

Rather, the advantage was closer to the Demon God’s side.

He had the absolute power of Chaos, but it was a losing battle.

“Is it because of Chaos….”

Rowoon was quick to realize the reason.

Ironically, the reason he was being pushed back by the Demon God was because of the awakened power of Chaos.

The imperfect power of Chaos.

Even that.

Kkuk.

Rowoon was forcibly suppressing the power of Chaos.

He was only using it to recover his body and maintain the same time zone.

Chwaaak-!

The power Rowoon was using was solely what he had learned and mastered from his masters.

On the other hand, the Demon God was only using the magic of God Annihilation for defense.

‘Instinct.’

Leaving everything to instinct, he was pouring out the power of Chaos, even if it was less than Rowoon’s, and confronting Rowoon.

Crack!

It was perhaps natural that the advantage was on the Demon God’s side.

Who was closer to Chaos?

If you were to ask that.

“It’s the Demon God.”

Because it was the Demon God.

The Demon God’s fist and movements were once again targeting Rowoon.

‘At this rate, there’s no end.’

In this moment where they were maintaining each other’s time zones.

There would be no result in the stopped time.

The only way to win this fight was one.

Thud.

The moment a loud impact echoed.

Thud.

Rowoon’s entire body slumped.

It wasn’t that the consciousness of Chaos had been awakened.

It was just that Rowoon had abandoned some of the things he had held and maintained.

And that was exactly what he had learned from his masters.

At this moment.

“Again.”

Rowoon entrusted his body to power, not the consciousness of Chaos.

* * *

-The Heavenly Demon Divine Art was….

Something that had been engraved into his body.

-The Blood Demon Divine Art was….

Peerless martial arts that required countless efforts to master.

It was the ability to maximize the power of the human body, with the human body.

It was the ability created by a genius human who had spent their entire life honing it.

-The Ring of the Emperor was….

A natural power.

The power to harmonize with nature and the world, fitting oneself into the world.

It was the power to draw out the maximum of what one was born with, rather than adding something to the innate ability.

To learn it, he had to invest even more time and imprint on himself what kind of being he was.

It was a power obtained in that way.

-I’ll give it to you.

It was an inheritance.

He hadn’t invested effort or time, but it was a power he had received from someone.

However, it was not easy to take everything that someone possessed.

It was something that required risking everything.

It was a power obtained in that way.

No.

‘They are powers.’

The Martial King’s Divine Art.

The Sword King’s Ring.

The Demon King’s Magic Essence.

He had hammered all of them into his body and mind, and they had become one with him.

Now, they had become a part of him, like maintaining his existence.

And now.

Hwaaaak.

He was trying to abandon them one by one.

Abandon yourself.

It was also the path that many martial artists in Eun pursued.

To reach a higher level, one had to let go of what they possessed, one by one.

But the reason why so many people failed was simple.

‘The way to walk.’

It was the way to walk.

‘The way to breathe.’

It was also the way to breathe.

‘Me.’

With just that, it was his name and existence, everything.

To abandon that was something that could not be done with will alone.

And now, Rowoon had to do it.

He had to forget how to walk, how to move his body.

At first, it wasn’t easy.

But because he had abandoned everything once before.

Twitch.

He was able to shed a little bit.

And when he shed a little of it.

Crackkk-!

Finally, a change occurred.

The light of Chaos, not the light of the Divine Demon, was contained in Rowoon’s fist.

And that was the moment it collided with the Demon God’s fist.

The echoing impact and.

Hwaaaak-!

The moment one or two, dozens of rings of light were created.

Kwaaaa-!

Finally, meaningful cracks began to appear in the Demon God’s body.

The Demon God was trying to reverse time again to recover.

But Rowoon was.

‘I abandon it.’

He was abandoning the way to walk, the way to move his body, once again.

A feeling as if his body was not his own.

A feeling as if his breath was catching and his whole body was about to slump.

But ironically.

Gooo-!

A more intense power than ever before was erupting from his entire body.
