Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 157:
hapter 157: The Temptation of Destruction (2)
“ . . . . . . !”
When he woke up in his bedroom, he was lying alone in bed and Hayun’s seat was empty .
That’s right, this was the real reality .
It was reality, not the virtual space created by Karosio .
Of course, Hayun wouldn’t be here .
Kang-jun got out of bed with a sigh .
'That was an unexpected surprise . ’
It had been possible to create a virtual space in the gap between reality and Hwanmong .
Furthermore, with such an enormous temptation!
The demonic **** called the Goddess of Destruction . . .
‘No matter how strong you are, your mind will collapse in an instant . ’
These had been the last words Shadowless said to him .
However, Kang-jun had remained alert .
His mental state was very good, but he hadn’t been able to do anything against the terrible power of the Goddess of Destruction .
Luckily, thanks to Shaoniel’s tears, he had been able to escape from the crisis .
The probability was high that Karosio’s temptation wouldn’t end with just this one time .
Could he endure it if the temptation came again and again?
Even then, the tears of truth needed to be activated in order for him to bear the temptation .
There was a chance that the power of the tears of truth wouldn’t trigger at all .
He needed to be lucky . Regardless of how good Kang-jun’s luck was, he couldn’t expect such a thing every time .
‘Measures are necessary . ’
Otherwise, he would become Karosio’s slave .
'Should I have something to eat?’
Kang-jun went out to the living room .
There was no one there .
Despite all the fancy furniture, the house seemed empty without Hayun .
“Lord!”
Then the door opened and Han Yeon-soo entered with a large smile .
“You woke up, Lord . ”
“What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Kang-jun cried out in amazement and Han Yeon-soo lifted the bags held in both hands .
"As you can see, these are cooking ingredients . Hayun wouldn’t like Lord eating from the space .
The bags were filled with a large variety of ingredients such as vegetables and meat .
Kang-jun laughed .
“Thank you . You should also eat something . ”
After consuming a lot of power to fend off Karosio in the virtual space, Kang-jun was starving .
Originally, he had planned to take out Hayun’s bean sprouts soup . However, Han Yeon-soo had prepared ingredients, so he couldn’t do that .
Others might fear the dark dragon, Cordin, but she was kind and gentle to Kang-jun .
Kiradak was now defending Earth, so the amount of work she had to do had decreased .
"By the way, I left Kim Hye-na in charge of the buildings that Hayun were managing . ”
After Han Yeon-soo joined his household, she had taken the position as Kang-jun’s secretary while Kim Hye-na, the original secretary, had been dismissed .
Kim Hye-na’s abilities weren’t bad, so Han Yeon-soo hired her as a member of the Black Dragon Law Firm .
"Well done . You don’t need to bother reporting things like this . ”
"Yes, Lord . ”
Kang-jun was comfortable since he knew she could handle it .
After a while, Kang-jun finished the meal with Han Yeon-soo and moved to Kiradak’s warship .
In the meantime, there had been no special invaders aiming for Earth .
After encouraging Kiradak, he headed to Valles Planet that was millions of light years away .
He also looked at all the planets formerly colonized by Kiradak .
Nothing special happened, so he was only exposed to a light breeze .
Of course, his head was constantly trying to think of ways to overcome Karosio’s temptation .
He thought that something would inspire him if he walked around, rather than sitting in a corner .
However, he couldn’t come up with any specific countermeasures .
He tried to study the flow of destruction through meditation, but there weren’t many results .
He returned to Earth in frustration, then went fishing on the beaches of the South Pacific and watched the satellites orbiting Earth .
Of course, those were just his outward actions as his head was still deep in meditation .
‘The virtual space itself is a problem because there is no room for chaotic intervention, so we can’t use all our abilities . In the end, I just need to hope that the tears of truth are effective . ’
His willpower didn’t work against the Goddess of Destruction .
So, this mental battle was hundreds of times tougher than fighting with a sword .
Just like that, three days passed instantly .
It was finally time to go to Hwanmong .
However, it was clear that the Goddess of Destruction would strike .
There was no guarantee that this was true, but Kang-jun prepared his mind .
As Kang-jun closed his eyes, the space surrounding him disappeared .
“ . . . . . . !”
When he opened his eyes, loud club music was playing .
'What is this?'
This wasn’t Hwanmong .
There was loud music, strong lights and beautiful women dancing . The women were equally enchanting .
However, among them, there was one woman so enchanting that he couldn’t keep his eyes off her .
She was Karosio .
Under the sparkling lights and music, her fatal attractiveness shone even more .
‘Damn! She is acting again so soon . ’
However, despite his grumbling, Kang-jun’s eyes were fixed on Karosio .
The dancers around her weren’t fascinating, yet her hand gestures, expressions and gaze seemed to captivate Kang-jun .
Should he just call it quits and live as Karosio’s slave?
It was a terrifying temptation that took over his will .
In the meantime, Karosio was moving closer to Kang-jun . She was wearing a provocative attire and was almost half-naked . It was more stimulating than complete **** .
"Today, I will make you mine . ”
"Shut up . ”
Kang-jun tried to step back . However, it was just a thought as his body was kissing her without realizing it .
He had gotten excited after watching Karosio dance .
It had been more provocative than any stimulating foreplay .
Karosio was also in a heightened state of excitement .
Thanks to the failure last time, Karosio was in a hurry today .
However, Kang-jun’s body was more aggressive than hers .
He pushed her against the wall of the club and started to take her clothes off roughly, not caring who was watching .
‘I am such a **** . ’
As Kang-jun became outraged, it was like he was watching himself from somewhere else .
If this continued, it would be the end .
His body had become a slave to lust and he couldn’t control it .
This was despite him being the guardian of Hwanmong and having chaos power .
He felt disgusted with himself .
Then after some time . . .
Kang-jun felt something and closed his eyes .
The eyes of truth weren’t triggered . Unfortunately, he didn’t have that luck today .
However, Kang-jun ignored what his body was doing and focused on a single illusion .
He was observing the illusion of the energy of destruction .
Rather than an illusion, it was more just in his imagination .
The aura of destruction that made everything dark . . .
An infinite power that destroyed everything!
That was destruction .
What if he could control the energy of destruction completely?
In addition to going beyond the confusion of chaos, he wouldn’t need to fear the Goddess of Destruction anymore .
However, Kang-jun didn’t focus on the energy of destruction .
He looked at its essence amidst the destruction .
He had been dwelling on it constantly over the past few days, so was he seeing the benefits now?
In a crisis situation where his body had been turned into a slave, his mind had found a new breakthrough .
‘As it turns out, the essence of destruction being a new power is just a trick . ’
It was more complete and powerful than chaos power, but it wasn’t so great .
Kang-jun started to see what the people in the Chaos Knowledge Scripts desired so badly .
Hwanmong!
That was it .
It was a power he already knew .
A mysterious power that had been created by the Hwanmong system!
The true source of Kang-jun’s power!
It wasn’t an abstract existence but a true power . It wasn’t something that could be handled like dimensional power or chaos power .
However, Kang-jun was assured that he could grab it .
Hwanmong power!
If he could understand and use Hwanmong, he would be an absolute existence . . .
An invincible existence in Hwanmong that no one could resist!
However, it was just up to there .
Unfortunately, Kang-jun couldn’t penetrate the wall .
He stopped just short of fully understanding the nature of destruction .
However, that alone caused a tremendous increase in combat power .
[You have understood the nature of destruction . ]
[The enlightenment has give you a lot of experience and increased you level to 400 . ]
Despite not feeling the level rise in the virtual space here, it would be felt when he moved to reality or Hwanmong .
This was a place where only mental power existed .
Still, Kang-jun was tempted by Karosio in this virtual space .
At that moment, Kang-jun was just on the verge of joining with Karosio .
‘Hoho, the situation is over now . ’
There was a smile of satisfaction on Karosio’s face as she gazed at Kang-jun .
'You are now my slave, Lucan . ’
She had finally succeeded in luring him .
Her mind was inspired by the thought of making a slave from someone with the power of Hwanmong, one of the most mysterious powers in the dimensional system .
However, at that moment, Kang-jun’s eyes lit up .
The black energy of destruction was in his eyes and Karosio’s complexion changed suddenly .
'T-this!'
She felt a sudden change in Kang-jun .
It was clear that the energy of destruction was currently coming from his eyes .
No, strictly speaking, this was a place where the energy couldn’t exist . It was a place where only spirit could exist .
However, the meaning of his eyes were clear .
Kang-jun was able to change the very nature of destruction .
It was a power that belonged to the fundamental realm of destruction that even she couldn’t access .
Therefore, her attempts to seduce Kang-jun using the deadly charm of destruction wouldn’t succeed anymore .
It was natural since his energy of destruction was stronger than hers .
On the contrary, she was being tempted by Kang-jun .
The energy coming from Kang-jun’s eyes was tempting her .
‘Hah! This ridiculous . . . ’
Karosio bit her lips to try and endure the temptation .
Joining with Kang-jun here wasn’t something she could afford to let happen .
She would immediately be sealed and defeated by Kang-jun . Then she would virtually be a slave .
It would be the worst situation .
"W-who are you? This is just ridiculous . ”
Karosio trembled, then disappeared soon after meeting Kang-jun’s eyes .
‘Escape . ’
At the moment, Kang-jun also knew what had happened .
If the situation was reversed and he took her, it would be possible to place her in the sealed world forever .
It was regrettable that she escaped . It had been a chance to seal the Goddess of Destruction, the incarnation of evil .
However, now, she could no longer create a virtual space for Kang-jun .
If she did, she was giving Kang-jun a chance to enslave her .
Karosio wasn’t stupid enough to do such a thing .
[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]
The virtual space scattered and Kang-jun entered Hwanmong .
However, there was a group of demonic gods waiting for him .
