Chapter 383: The Choice (8)
Gi-Gyu had tried to sync with Lee Sun-Ho, the Creator, to gain more power. He had previously synced with Earth, every creature on the planet, and Babel that ran on dimensional essence. Still, Gi-Gyu wasn't confident he could defeat his opponent.
If I continue to fight without syncing with him Gi-Gyu believed he could still win, but that would take an indefinite amount of time. And they might end up destroying Earth in the process. Since he was synced with Earth, if it were destroyed, the battle would end, just not in his favor.
So Gi-Gyu needed to use the greatest ability he possessed.
Sync.
Dun!
What are you doing?!
Dun!
Sync!
Dun!
Sync!
Gi-Gyu continued trying to sync with Lee Sun-Ho near the Earths mantle. The invisible threads from Gi-Gyu approached Lee Sun-Ho repeatedly as he focused on this task.
Sync!
It wont work! How dare you! Lee Sun-Ho screamed angrily, but Gi-Gyu didnt stop trying.
Sync! Suddenly, the threads from Gi-Gyu began embracing Lee sun-Ho.
...! Lee Sun-Hos eyes widened in surprise, but when he glared and released his power, the threads melted away.
Fsssssh.
No! Gi-Gyu grew desperate. He could barely even start the syncing process, but his opponent kept breaking the threads. Also, they werent like normal cloth threads, so every time Lee Sun-Ho broke one, Gi-Gyu felt that a part of his brain melted away. If that happened again, he wasnt sure he could make it. Gi-Gyu was already beyond his limit.
-Ill help.
...! When Gi-Gyu heard a voice from inside his head, his eyes widened in shock. He was so surprised that he screamed, Jupiter!
He had hitherto believed that Jupiter was gone forever, his existence erased after uniting with Gi-Gyu.
Just then, Lee Sun-Ho screamed in a fury, Ackkk!
Gi-Gyus threads wrapped around Lee Sun-Ho again.
-Well help too.
-Ill tell you.
-Let me help too!
More voices followed Jupiters voice.
Tae-Shik hyung Alberto Sung-Hoon
Other familiar voices chimed in, including that of Tao Chen, Mammon, Dark, Hart, and Paimon. Those connected with Gi-Gyu were helping him. Countless powerful threads left Gi-Gyu and began enveloping Lee Sun-Ho faster than he could melt them.
Ackkk! Lee Sun-Ho screamed again.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
-Well help too.
-Master, Ill give you a hand.
-Master! You can do this!
It will be over someday. Gi-Gyu wasnt sure if he would face death or a new beginning at the end, but either way, it would be over. Thats my only hope.
To endure his time here, he needed something to look forward to. Gi-Gyu was surrounded by darkness, with the Creator being his only light source. He wiped away his tears, realizing how ridiculous he must look. He had fought and defeated the Creator, so how could he cry like this? If someone saw this, they would be in disbelief or laugh at him.
Gi-Gyu hugged his knees and watched the baby. But I dont care if someone laughs at me. I wish I had someone, anyone, by my side right now.
Suddenly, his eyes widened when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Why do you think youre alone?
You You! Gi-Gyu couldnt hide the shock in his voice as he screamed.
You and I have always been together and always will. Jupiter knelt behind Gi-Gyu and hugged him. They looked ridiculous, hugging while kneeling on the ground, but Gi-Gyu couldnt stop the tears of joy.
Jupiter whispered Gi-Gyu. Jupiter had become part of him in the past.
Suddenly, Gi-Gyu felt two more hands on his back.
Were here too.
Master.
When Gi-Gyu turned around, he saw a man and a woman smiling.
...! Gi-Gyu saw Lou and El standing behind him.
I guess he got here before us, Lou muttered. He was about to sit next to Gi-Gyu, but noticing El, he apologized, Ah, sorry. You go ahead.
El smiled at Lou and sat down next to Gi-Gyu. She held Gi-Gyus hand tightly.
Ahh Ill suffer so much here, Lou said in annoyance.
But I like this! This is much better than what I had to experience. I have lived so long that I even forgot my own identity, said Jupiter.
If its with you, I dont care where I am, El whispered.
Holding Els hand, Gi-Gyu clenched his other hand to hide the overwhelming emotions. The four figures sat down and watched the Creator; time passed slowly.
***
A man opened his eyes and exhaled in a space where not even dust existed.
Haa How long has it been? His voice sounded rusty as he looked around. I guess it hasnt been that long?
He had stopped keeping track of time long ago. He knew much time had passed, but not as much as he had expected. His eyes still open, Gi-Gyu looked up in the air and murmured, Show yourself now It has gone on for long enough.
In the void, Gi-Gyu ignored the rules [1] and shouted, Jung Soo-Jung! Soo-Jung! I mean Gaia.
Narrowing his eyes, he moved his hands. He couldnt control his body well yet, so his hands moved up before flopping down awkwardly. Suddenly, the space ripped to reveal a different place behind it.
From that dimension came the woman Gi-Gyu wanted to see. It was impossible to tell what she was feeling. Many emotions filled her eyes as she replied,
[Long time no see.]
Her voice was heard in a system-like manner.
[My pupil.]
The rip in the space elongated to reveal more of the world Soo-Jung was in. Behind her was Baal, and nearby, Gi-Gyu saw Shin Yoo-Bin and Lim Hye-Sook slumped on the ground weakly.
And behind them were two women lying on the ground like corpses.
Mother Yoo-Jung His eyes unfocused and cloudy, Gi-Gyu called out to his family before looking at Soo-Jung.
