The young Eul's death made Igeon's lips curl up viciously.
Of course, he didn't know if killing 18,732 Euls was the precise strategy.
But at least, if he slaughtered all those bastards, they wouldn't swarm in droves and piss people off.
That was why Igeon grinned as if thrilled.
*‘I’ll put this body to very good use.’*
But that was when it happened.
Maybe it was because he had killed a young Eul.
[What the hell are you doing!]
As the Eul raged, Igeon sneered.
“Me?
At those words, the flabbergasted Eul lunged savagely at Igeon.
[I don't care who you are. Die!]
“Hah, go ahead and catch me if you can, you moron!”
Igeon immediately used a skill.
[Time Skip]
He still had the feel from using it earlier, so manifesting it was no problem.
Of course, it wasn't a familiar ability, so he couldn't designate coordinates...
*‘At that point, if I just roughly go where I sense other Euls, isn’t that fine?’*
Even if he didn't know the method, right now he could feel the countless scattered Euls.
And the reason that was possible was surely because he had entered the body of the Eul.
On top of that, it was a hunter’s instinct born from all the experience points he had amassed.
*‘Anyway, I clearly remember the energy of the one I just killed.’*
If he killed young Euls like just now, wouldn’t it be easy to kill them, and would all of that time line's Euls vanish?
Just as he suspected.
After crossing over, Igeon landed on the ground and immediately charged somewhere like crazy.
The place he fell this time was none other than a wasteland!
And the spot where Igeon, who had vanished in an instant, reappeared was precisely where a young Eul was!
And that Eul had no time to even notice Igeon.
*‘Second one!’*
Splat!!!
Igeon mercilessly sent the Eul's head flying.
And the moment he blew the head away, another followed right after!
“Three!”
“Four!”
“Ten!”
“A hundred!”
Igeon picked only the young Euls, blowing off heads, again and again.
“Hahaha! The young punk has been running around making a fancy display!”
The Euls had tried to trample and devour humans as prey, but they were horrifically slaughtered by Igeon.
Occasionally, a slightly more mature Eul tried to kill Igeon, but it was useless.
Splat!!!
At the same time, Igeon could feel it clearly.
*‘As expected, the more of those bastards I kill, the more the Eul’s power weakens.’*
Since he was inside the Eul's body, he could know for certain.
*‘The Eul that appeared before me was the final form.’*
Meaning, the body of the Eul he was possessing was also the final form.
To put it simply, should he say it was the form that had regressed and regressed tens of thousands of times and accumulated the most experience points, ability points, and strength.
And perhaps because all the Euls were ultimately linked as one, the more Igeon killed Euls, the more the power of this final form Eul gradually weakened.
*‘Well, since the present can only exist if the past does.’*
Couldn’t the principle be that as you erase the existences of the past, the accumulated power disappears?
But even if its power weakened, it didn't harm him.
Splat!!!
[Euls killed: 3,899]
[The Eul's experience points accumulate]
[The Eul's abilities increase]
The Eul's power gradually weakened, but the Eul's experience points shot up sharply.
It was surely possible because the soul was that of the Baemjuinjwa Holy God.
And even if the Eul's power weakened, killing Euls wasn't difficult for Igeon.
*‘Some young monster brat!’*
And the authority to cross time lines wasn't an ability he couldn't use just because he killed those bastards either.
As proof, Igeon, crossing time lines, laughed in glee.
“Hahahaha! Smashing them feels great!”
[Euls killed: 4,000]
[Experience points accumulate]
Of course, he didn't channel the accumulating experience points into the Eul.
That would simply be the path to self-destruction.
*‘If I send it to the Baemjuinjwa seat right now, that bastard will get stronger.’*
Because right now, it was the Eul that was in his body.
So Igeon accumulated all experience points in the body of the Eul he was currently possessing.
Of course, at first he wondered if that was possible, but what made up the Eul's body was precisely the original owner of the Baemjuinjwa seat.
Maybe it was recognized as the same Baemjuinjwa Holy God, so accumulation of experience points was possible.
*‘And when I return to my original body, I’ll take it with me.’*
But that was when it happened.
[The Holy God attacked the holy domains' saints]
[The Holy God is emitting clear hostility towards the holy domains]
*‘!’*
At the alert that rang out, Igeon’s eyes flared savagely.
It seemed the bastard who had taken over his body was targeting his holy domains.
*‘He’s pulling a dirty trick to raise the Eul’s level.’*
He had thought that killing Euls would harm the bastard in equal measure.
*‘Is he still not feeling the pinch?’*
Well, if he got caught early it would be more annoying, so this was better in its own way.
Thus, Igeon tried to accept the petitions from the other divine seats’ subordinates.
He had already received requests from all twelve divine seats earlier to become subordinates of the Baemjuinjwa seat.
*‘And if 12 saint-level beings put their minds to it, they can drain the Baemjuinjwa seat’s mana completely.’*
His clever nephews would probably figure out that method quickly.
But that was when it happened.
[The Holy God is obstructing the request]
*‘This bastard?’*
Perhaps worried about that situation himself, he obstructed the request.
And that wasn't all.
[The Holy God threatens the holy domains with Euls]
It seemed he was using his body properly.
So Igeon frowned.
*‘Is there no way?’*
And right at that moment.
[You son of a—! There you are!]
“!!”
Arriving at another time line, Igeon was horrified.
Because the Eul had spotted him and was charging at him.
*‘Dammit, did I accidentally come to a past point I’ve already been through?’*
Clenching his teeth, Igeon was about to swiftly jump to another time line, just then.
Bang!!!
“!”
Igeon was startled by the flaming arrow that suddenly flew in.
And that ferocious arrow smashed the Eul’s lord to pieces.
At the same time, seeing the shattered Eul, Igeon narrowed his brow.
*‘A clone?’*
It was probably a clone body with less than one hundredth of the original’s power.
Moreover, judging by the energy he felt, this energy was unmistakably the Geohae Seat.
*‘A monster created by that crab bastard?’*
And that was when it happened.
A familiar figure who had smashed the Eul appeared before his eyes.
“Ah damn, I’m in a rush to die, what is this.”
At the grumbling voice, Igeon couldn’t help but startle.
“I need to go buy my master’s hair growth tonic, quickly!”
*‘Taek-su!’*
That’s right.
The one who appeared there was none other than a young Hugo.
And going by Hugo’s appearance, it was clearly Hugo from 20 years ago!
But whether that mattered or not, Hugo seemed to be on the phone with someone.
“Ah, yes. Hello? Oh yes, Master. I’m sorry. I’m on my way to buy the tonic, but Zhang Rui keeps interfering… Yes?! You want me to steal Kevin and Steven’s food?! All of a sudden… No, yes?! If I can’t steal it, I have to run all the way to Korea?! No, Master, you do know I’m in China, right?!”
And from the looks of it, it was the era when Hugo was his disciple.
Then that meant…
*‘This is a time line where I exist.’*
Igeon broke into a cold sweat.
It was a dangerous time line where a wrong move could change his own future.
But that was precisely when it happened.
“You there! Geohae Seat bastard! Master says to steal your food!”
“!”
No idea what orders the past version of himself had given him, but Hugo launched an attack.
In response, Igeon worried his future might change and tried to ignore him and turn away.
“Just become nutrition for my master’s head!”
At those words, enraged, Igeon charged forward with a rapid *thud-thud-thud*.
“This brat, who’s trying to grind who into supplements!!”
Igeon hurled a kick at Hugo.
“You bastard’s asking to die.”
And after being kicked, he thought Hugo would quiet down, but unexpectedly Hugo grabbed Igeon’s foot.
“Hey, what are you! Why do you move exactly like my master!? What did you do to my master?!”
Igeon realized he’d slipped up.
Because he was so used to bickering with Hugo with all kinds of curses, he had forgotten, but even Hugo had his fanboy days!
So Igeon tried to knock Hugo out with a kick out of annoyance.
*‘Wait. Taek-su at this time isn’t a Baemjuinjwa subordinate, is he?’*
And that wasn’t all.
*‘Taek-su at this time is useful in a different sense.’*
Since he had taught Hugo directly, he knew better than anyone else what Hugo’s skill level was at this time.
Perhaps that was why.
“Hey.”
“What!”
“I need you to help your master for a bit.”
“Wh-what?”
Igeon cast a skill on Hugo.
Well, he didn’t know the Eul’s exact location, but what did that matter.
*‘Just send him to the strongest time!’*
The Eul inside his own body was the final form, having regressed 18,732 times and accumulated the greatest power!
From the countless Euls he could feel, Igeon hurled Hugo at the one with the strongest aura.
Explanations and such were a luxury for Hugo.
Right now, the important thing was killing Euls!
Crossing the time lines, Igeon killed Eul after Eul.
[Euls killed: 17,889]
[Experience points accumulate]
[Euls killed: 17,890]
[Euls killed: 17,931]
[Euls killed: 17,999]
Splat!!!
[Euls killed: 18,000]
[Experience points accumulated. Evolution of the Eul is possible.]
“Hahaha, now that bastard should start hurting too!”
* * *
And at the same moment.
Clang!!
With a severing sound, the Eul trembled faintly.
Its strength drained in an instant.
At the same time, the Eul, who had entered Igeon’s body and had its senses dulled, seemed to finally realize the situation.
*‘This bastard.’*
It was unmistakable.
Though it didn't know exactly how many Euls Igeon had destroyed, he was definitely running around killing Euls to the point it even affected the final form.
And that wasn't all.
*‘This brat, he’s sending experience points to the Eul.’*
He was purposely raising the Eul to make it impossible to control power.
So the Eul swiftly tried to send a signal to the selves in other time lines.
To stop Igeon before he killed all the remaining ones.
But that was when it happened.
Splat!!
From behind, a sound of spraying blood echoed. A sound of something rolling onto the ground was a bonus.
And what rolled to the feet of the Eul was none other than the head of an Eul.
“Here. That makes 18,732.”
“……!!!!”
Everyone in the holy domain was shocked by the figure who appeared behind them.
The Eul was shocked too.
There stood Igeon, drenched in the blood of 18,732 Euls, licking his lips.
And then.
“Now, you’re the only one left, huh?”
Igeon’s eyes flashed as he aimed his sword at his own neck.
