Reincarnator Chapter 314:
Reincarnator - Chapter 314 : Beast (1)
—rumble—
‘What . . . What is this?’
Taesang was at a loss as he looked at the scene unfolding in front of him .
The giant War Fortress had been the main residence for those who’d first arrived at the Green Zone since it was capable of hosting hundreds of thousands of people .
This very fortress was now being demolished .
It was already very unstable due to that giant hole appearing beneath it .
How could it withstand a mountain falling on top of it?
—rumble—
Taesang realized that there was still a long way for him to go .
He’d felt like he’d gained everything in the world after setting on the path to becoming a transcendent; he’d been able to smash apart all the Kang-Kions that had come his way like ants .
That he might be closer to the level of the Dark King and the man who had given him this strength .
But that was only because he’d never fought them—that feeling of being their equal had merely been a delusion of his .
‘I’m still too far-off, huh…’
These thoughts ran through his mind as he looked at the scene of their battle .
But Taesang’s expression soon brightened .
‘Yeah, I’m just starting out . ’
This was just the beginning .
Since there were no dangerous abyssal[a][b] races nearby, he could slowly raise his strength by killing them, and one day reach that level .
‘But . . . but then, what about the others?’
His thoughts became complex as he thought of his comrades .
Should he share the crystals?
How should he share them?
‘ . . . but is there really any benefit to me sharing them?’
He flinched at the greedy thoughts going through his mind .
How could he think such a thing?
These were people he’d fought with, comrades he’d risked his life for day-by-day, same as they did for him .
He suppressed the raging greed inside him and continued onwards .
‘ . . . my mind is in chaos . Let’s meet that man, first . ’
He focused on the reason why he’d come here .
He was easy to locate with his newly heightened senses .
‘ . . . I just need to go in this direction, but should I really do it?’
If the man who had given him this strength had won, there would be no issues .
But what if the Dark King won?
Though he’d become strong, he was nowhere near the level of causing a scene like this .
He started to lose confidence .
‘The Dark King might be perfectly fine…’
He sensed that one of them had a much more powerful aura, and sadly, its owner seemed to be the Dark King .
Taesang pondered for a moment, and then decided to retreat .
‘Yeah, I’m not ready yet . ’
He possessed unlimited potential .
He didn’t want to waste this new opportunity by dying .
He also had comrades .
If he met the enraged Dark King after heading into that place, then it would be a worthless death .
But as he was about to retreat—
…chhh…chchch . . .
—in the distance .
From where he was now heading towards .
A vicious aura was seeping out .
A terrifying aura that made him feel goosebumps all over .
An aura that penetrated deep into his body and mind .
He had felt this before .
Twice actually .
‘ . . . my **** . He won . ’
Taesang gulped .
This was the same aura as before .
The aura he’d felt when he’d first met that man and had tried to resist .
And when the man released his aura in the storage area .
‘ . . . it’s that red light . ’
When Misun had tried to resist .
And when he was finding a candidate to become the transcendent .
A terrifying aura radiated out from the man’s hand .
And that aura was the same as what he was feeling right now .
There was only one reason why he would be able to feel this aura .
It meant that the man had won .
Though the threat of the Dark King was gone, Taesang’s worries did not .
‘Damn . . . should I have just run away?’
The vicious aura kept striking the surface of his skin .
To the point of making him think that the Dark King might’ve been better .
Taesang pondered if he should continue or not, but soon shook his head .
If that man wanted him dead, he would’ve been killed already .
And he had told him to come after digesting this new strength .
He didn’t dare go against those words .
‘ . . . f*** it, I’ll go . Who knows, right? He might give me more gifts . ’
Taesang thought positively as he dashed towards the origin of the vicious aura .
And soon .
A scene unfolded before his eyes .
—shshshshsh—
Dark red smoke was coming out from the man’s eyes and into the seven orifices of the Dark King, who was kneeling on the ground before the man .
“Ahh… . . ”
Taesang exclaimed out loud when he saw this scene .
……………………………… . .
“Ughh… . ”
“You know, I pondered for a long time about how to use you . ”
The Dark King grit his teeth while resisting the blood-colored smoke that was invading his body .
‘ . . . Damn it! Just kill me!’
But he could not speak those words .
The blood-colored smoke entering his body felt like it was gnawing away at his insides .
Hansoo continued:
“When a transcendent is born . . . it is hard to be a righteous person . It’s not a bad thing to become evil . It’s actually quite normal . ”
It was hard to survive alone, so groups were naturally formed .
Since maintaining the group was the only way to survive, they made rules and laws for everyone to abide by .
They respected each other since they needed each other .
Even if one made another unhappy, they held back for the greater good of the group .
That was the only way .
If they fought the minute they disliked something, a group would never have been made in the first place .
But a transcendent realizes the moment that they are born that they can escape from those bindings .
“Those with strength can easily become childish . Like you . ”
“Ughh…”
Transcendents were different from humans .
Maybe because they were born anew, they acted like babies .
So at first, they would carefully and slowly experiment .
They would test how their newfound strength impacted their surroundings, then wait for feedback .
And surprisingly .
There was no resistance .
Even if a transcendent did something to make the other party unhappy, they did nothing to harm him .
Social bindings?
Laughable .
This is the main point that all transcendents will eventually realize .
<These guys can no longer fight back, no matter what I do . I don’t need to listen to them anymore, either>
Even if their relationships worsened or crumbled apart, the result was the same .
Because they had become a transcendent, all their relationships would change .
The people they had fought with so far were no longer comrades, they were merely weights holding them back .
Since the transcendents were that much more powerful .
At this point, greed rises up inside one’s mind .
Since I’m working this hard to protect you, shouldn’t you return the favor?
And this mindset slowly changes .
From a feeling of want to a desire .
And everyone around the transcendent, as well as the transcendent themselves, start to realize .
That one side had to fear the other .
“Ugh…”
Hansoo continued to speak towards the Dark King in front of him .
“I was thinking about whether I should take you or not . But I feel like I should at least make one before I go . ”
Once he unifies and colonizes the 4th zone, the number of people coming up through the elevator will rise, as well as the number of new transcendents being born .
Without a figure to fear, chaos would reign once again .
Those cancer-creating **** were all settled in the west, and his comrades were fighting against them with their lives on the line .
Hansoo did not have time to oversee the others, nor could he afford the potential casualties .
So he needed to make one .
A symbol of fear .
He needed to show them .
Show them what would happen if they thrashed about just because they’d acquired power .
‘Look closely . ’
Hansoo muttered, looking at Taesang .
Then—
—crunch—
“Ahh . . . AHHHHHH!!!!”
A tremendous scream of pain and misery roared out from the mouth of the Dark King .
………………………………… . .
“KUAAAAAAAAA!!!”
Taesang looked in horror at the scene .
It wasn’t just the screaming .
“AHH! . . . AHHHH!!!”
It was so painful that the Dark King was screaming while rolling around on the ground .
While all his limbs were smashed apart and his muscles had been shredded .
‘What the f***… What did he do!?’
Taesang frowned .
With a body like that, even lying down would still be painful .
And even more so if one rolled around like that .
But the Dark King didn’t seem to be bothered by that, as he literally thrashed around while he howled .
—boom!—
—booom!—
The Dark King’s transcendent body caused the surrounding rubble to break apart .
And then the man approached the Dark King, whispering something into his ears .
‘ . . . what did he say to him?’
“Ugh . . . AHH!”
And then shockingly—
—the Dark King clenched his teeth and stood up, wearing a horrible expression filled with pain and misery .
With a hint of hope mixed in .
Then—
“Ahhhh!”
The Dark King stumbled as he started to move .
Towards the Kang-Kions in the distance .
This scene caused Taesang to feel sorry for the Dark King, despite the horrible things he’d done .
Hansoo slowly approached Taesang .
“ . . . what did you do?”
Hansoo replied with a laugh as he looked at the Dark King dashing away, screaming as he did so .
“You’ll see . ”
