[497] The body of Seohyul (1)
Kwarrrrung!
I saw the brain that gave me the key to the next floor while being slaughtered quietly without any reaction.
‘… This is ominous.’
There were more than one or two ominous moments when Seohyul was with me, but this time, the ominousness was on a different level.
If Seo-hyul’s scheme was a suffocating feeling that felt like it was strangling my throat, this ominous feeling was like being stuck on the bottom of the deep sea with my bare body, watching the oxygen in my oxygen tank decrease in real time, and feeling like some huge being was slowly approaching me from the darkness of the deep sea.
‘More than anything… No matter how great Seohyul’s Takhonmancheon is, it’s already the 80th floor of the Tower of Trials… And yet, there’s no response from Geumjinjo?’
That was when I was wondering.
“…!”
Creepy!
I just entered the 81st floor and felt goosebumps all over my body.
Crack, crack, crack…
The thunder of the whole world shook, and an ominous feeling passed through my mind.
At the same time, I suddenly felt a crazy desire for flags, a sudden desire to make a bunch of ‘flags’ and admire them.
‘Suddenly I feel love for the flag… This is…’
Thud…
Brainstorming, flags, and a love of flags.
There was only one entity associated with those words.
Thunderbolt, Jeongryeo!
As soon as I thought of her, I realized I wanted to scream ‘Jeong-ryeo’ like crazy, so I covered my mouth.
‘What did Jeong Ryeo, who descended upon the Thunder Sea last time, do to the Thunder Sea!? Damn it… You must never call that name!’
Suddenly, my mind flashed back to the brains that had been praying in a somewhat humble prayer posture facing somewhere just a moment ago.
‘It’s not that I’m being manipulated by Takhonmancheon… No way…’
I recalled the nightmare I had during the Golden God Heavenly Thunder Gate, and headed to the upper floor even faster.
One way or another, what I have to do doesn’t change.
I defeated the brains up to the 98th floor in an instant, and now I am on the 99th floor.
I reached where the Queen Brain was supposed to be and looked around.
In the distance, I could see a tree the size of a planet, with a beehive hanging from it.
I quickly entered the hive, and as soon as I entered the hive, I could see the brains praying in the same posture as the other brains.
I’m in the center of the hive.
I went to the place where the Queen of the Opening Ceremony Brain was.
And I could immediately check her condition.
Crackling, crackling…
She was praying, muttering endlessly towards somewhere, with no light in her pupils.
As she repeats each word, each blasphemous prayer, the space around her trembles.
‘This is…!’
And then, I could see the identity of the prayer she was reciting endlessly while half-possessed, the brain that corresponds to the opening period.
It was a prayer of refuge.
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper…
I am a refugee…
I am a refugee…
I am a refugee…
A prayer like the shouts of a countless crowd is flowing out of her mouth!
Crunch!
I just paralyzed the part of my soul that handles hearing.
If I listened any longer, I would be eroded and turned into a brain tumor, and I would have to suffer from the curse that would follow me back to before.
“…Seo-hyul…”
I gritted my teeth and realized where that guy had led me.
‘I don’t know when it started, but it seems like Noesunghae started being eroded by the master of heavenly punishment…’
And Seo-hyul probably sent me here knowing that fact!
‘You shouldn’t believe that baby!’
I chewed my teeth and thought about it for a moment.
And I came to a conclusion.
‘For now, we will continue to rescue Jeon Myeong-hun.’
The end will come soon anyway.
You have to try something before that.
The fact that Geum Jin-jo kidnapped Jeon Myeong-hun and didn’t care about the end of the world may mean that there is a way for Noesonghae to avoid the end of the world!
Therefore, it would be a bad move to rashly prepare to run away here.
‘Backing down here would be the worst. We have to break through first and go find Jeon Myeong-hun! Even if… the worst comes to the worst, we can just shout for the Sword Master!’
I made a firm resolution and went into the heart of the Queen of Brain.
He pierced her heart with his hand and took the key to the 100th floor that was inside her body.
Pasa sasa!
In an instant, the door on the 100th floor opened, and a familiar sight came into view.
It was Hong Hwang Do.
A huge celestial globe, like a celestial sphere, was floating and moving in the sky.
‘This is the 100th floor… and… ‘

Woof woof!
I closed my eyes and expanded my consciousness.
At the same time, a halo appeared behind my head.
It was a halo in the shape of a cartwheel.
‘Through the rotation, find the entrance to the hidden space.’
Until the stellar period, it was still an object (客體) such as a constellation or a star, but from the stellar period onwards, it began to transcend objects.
Now my body is the rotating [flow] itself.
It was in itself a part of the flow of the universe.
Kiiing!
[There you are!]
I let out a scream and threw my fist straight into the air.
Kwaaaaang!
The entire 100th floor shook as the space was distorted.
Quaching!
I quickly created an entrance to the 101st floor and went up to the 101st floor.
Phew!
‘This place… I see.’
I realized that I was outside the Tower of Trials.
Below that was a huge tower of trials, and below that was the endless blue ocean, and above that the sky was blue like an endless vault.
This was the 101st floor of the Thunderstorm Tower.
‘It was said to be the 101st floor of the Tower of Trials, but… in reality, it was just a space that gradually ‘moved away’ from the Tower of Trials. It wasn’t really the concept of a ‘next floor’.’
I looked around, tense and ready for the possibility of a sudden attack by Geumjinjo.
Fortunately, the Golden Phoenix didn’t really attack me.
Perhaps she too was busy preparing for the erosion of divine punishment.
‘Then, to the next floor first!’
Boom!
I broke down the door on the 102nd floor again.
Upon reaching the 102nd floor, the Tower of Trials seemed smaller.
From the size of a proper tower, it was now reduced to the size of a two-story building.
And the ocean, which had seemed endless just a moment ago, now seemed to have an end.
‘It’s not here either.’
Quaching!
103rd floor.
The Tower of Trials had now grown to the size of an adult male, and the ocean where the Tower of Trials had been had become a small pond.
And the surroundings were covered with a strange fog, beyond which nothing could be detected.
Thud, thud…
‘Beyond the fog is the 104th floor.’
After realizing it, I walked beyond the fog to get out of it.
But no matter how much I walked, I realized that I couldn’t get farther away from the Tower of Trials.
‘I see. It seems like an ordinary space, but… it’s actually a distance of hundreds of millions of light years compressed…’
But I have no intention of arguing over this.
Wheeing!
I activated the cartwheel floating behind my head.
I still don’t know what this wheel is called.
But what was clear was that this wheel was a powerful form of sorcery.
And the ability of this wheel was [Reset].
The power to ‘temporarily’ reset the phenomenon I understand.
Of course, this was only a glimpse of the true power of this wheel, but for now, this was enough.
[I change the space before my eyes.]
Kiririririk!
The cartwheel turns.
At the same time, the fog before my eyes cleared and I reached the 104th floor in an instant.
‘As expected, this is the 104th floor.’
Coming out of the fog, I arrived at a familiar garden.
Looking back, I saw a stone pagoda in the shape of a tower of trials in a small pond.
The first place that Geumjinjo brought me to was the management space of Noeseonghae.
I looked around, wary of the golden eagle.
‘It’s not here either…’
She wasn’t here either.
I went up to the pavilion where Geumjinjo had guided me.
‘I don’t feel any sign of her in this entire garden. That must mean she’s on the next floor…!’
I closed my eyes for a moment in the center of the room, and I could see the entire brain storm.
‘I see. Is this the way to the next floor?’
I’m on the 105th, 106th, and 107th floors inside the building.
And after learning how to get to the 108th floor that Seo-hyul had mentioned, he came out of the pavilion and generated gravity.
Kugugugu!
With my manpower, I created a crack in the air and jumped into the crack.
The way to get to the 105th floor was to ‘take the elevator’ from the 104th floor.
I grabbed hold of the huge flow of gravity from the crack in the thundercloud as if I was ascending to the middle boundary, and hung there.
Unlike the real one, the brainwashing one’s suffering was short.
Phew!
‘Here is…’
Looking down, I saw a huge continent below.
The continent was in full bloom with red poppies.
And in the middle of that continent was the garden where I had just been.
When I looked back, there was a divine palace floating there with a soft thunderclap flowing.
The brain cells were mainly of two colors: red and gold.
And what was peculiar was that the red lightning bolts would flash in the air and bloom in the shape of poppies before disappearing.
‘This palace is not the end.’
I saw that at the back of the palace, there was a staircase leading further up into the sky, and I confirmed that I was at the end of the staircase.
At the end of the stairs, there was another palace with only red thunder flowing through it.
I thought about the knowledge I had acquired from each floor in the 104th floor pavilion and the brainwashing management space.
‘That’s the 106th floor. And Yang Su-jin’s treasure vault can be reached by going through the Scented Labyrinth on the 106th floor.’
I entered the 105th floor, the palace of Jeokgeumroe.
The structure of this bow of the Jeokgeumroe was somehow familiar.
‘I see. The buildings and layout are exactly the same as those of the Geumsincheonryeomun.’
To be exact, the structures of the Geumsincheonryeomun buildings, rooms, and furniture were all identical.
Judging from the gentle gravity and luck flowing through everything within the palace, it seemed to be some kind of altar intended to attempt to change fate.
At the same time, I could see there a stone tablet written in letters that seemed very familiar.
‘english!?’
After roughly interpreting the English sentences, which were all written in capital letters for some reason, I was able to figure out what they were saying.
‘This is…’
It was a way to use one of the powers of the Tower of Trials, the Thunderbolt.
And, the power written here was none other than the method of ‘completely destroying the Golden Ring.’
‘If you use this method… Geumjinjo will be completely destroyed by being split into hundreds of millions of small brains. Even so, Geumjinjo was no different from your own subject… Why did you, Yang Sujin… leave this behind for future generations to push her to such a degree?’
I felt bitter and put the English words into my head.
And then, I was startled when I read the last sentence written by Yang Su-jin at the very end of the letter.
The sentences were short and concise.
But somehow I felt something strange coming from that sentence.
-May they rest in peace.
“…for a moment.”
I had to go up to the 106th floor to check on Geumjinjo’s movements, but for some reason I couldn’t take my eyes off that sentence.
Because in that short sentence, the other side of Yang Su-jin’s cruelty was hidden.
‘They are… No way… ‘
I think I know a little bit about why Yang Su-jin had stuck Geum Jin-jo, who had followed her so much, into the Noeseonghae, and had made her grind for thousands of years, tearing her into trillions of pieces.
I looked at the stone tablet for a moment, then went out of the Jeokgeum Seon-gung and went to the Jeokroe Seon-gung.
I went up to the 106th floor.
Crackling, crackling…
As I headed toward the 106th floor, I felt the ominous feeling that had been weighing heavily on my shoulders since earlier growing stronger.
Pachichichijijichik…
In front of the Jeokryeo Palace.
I debated for a long time whether or not to open the palace gate.
‘Beyond this door… I feel an eerie ominous feeling for some reason.’
Perhaps, Jeongryeo herself had descended.
I didn’t even realize that Jinjo Geum had been caught by her and hadn’t responded to me until now.
After regulating my breathing in front of the Red Lightning Palace for a while, I opened the door to the Red Lightning Palace.
‘Even if there is a real Jeongryeo… I have to save Jeon Myeong-hun!’
Quachjijijik!
The door opened.
And the next moment.
I saw a horrible monster bursting out from inside.
: : Kkaaa …
It was a monster with the heads of hundreds of millions of birds.
The monster with the head of a bird and the lightning flashes of lightning rushed out of the inside of the lightning palace like a flowing river and ran away somewhere in fear.
‘Wow, what was that just now!?’
I flinched when I realized the identity of the monster that had just popped out.
The energy felt from that monster was clearly that of Geumjinjo.
‘What? Geumjinjo turned into a monster and suddenly ran away as if he saw something that shouldn’t have been seen?’
I slowly stepped inside, increasing my tension.
And then, I could see.
There is…
There was Jeon Myeong-hun.
“…hmm?”
Jeon Myeong-hun, who was sitting cross-legged with his top off, made eye contact with me.
Jeon Myeong-hun’s hair had grown longer than before.
His hair was half-covering the inside of the lightning palace, which looked like a bedroom.
“Jeon Myeong-hun, are you okay? Are you safe?”
At those words, he smiled brightly.
Somehow, I felt an ominous feeling from the calm smile that was so unusual for Jeon Myeong-hun.
‘Usually this is what happens when you get infected with Seohyul…’
“… Have you been possessed by someone? Who are you?”
At my question, he chuckled and stood up from his seat.
Pachijijik!
As if a thunderclap was going on around him, his hair grew shorter.
“Is this okay? If it’s the image in my memory, isn’t this the most suitable? I am Jeon Myeong-hun.”
“… Then, what do you cherish the most?”
“The thing I treasure the most… isn’t that the Heavenly Thunderbolt of the Geumshincheonryomun that the Geumshinja stole and made into a sacred item?”
“… You should talk nonsense in moderation…”
Thud…
I gritted my teeth and looked at the being in front of me.
“What Jeon Myeong-hun treasures the most is Geum So-hae’s hand. It’s not like a thunderbolt! Who are you! Are you the true person of Gae-yeol-gi? No, I don’t think so. Are you Geum Jin-jo’s fellow brainiac? Get out of Jeon Myeong-hun’s body right now!”
I felt as if my reason was being paralyzed by the ominous presence before my eyes, but I resisted as best I could and shouted at him.
“You’re the brain of the Golden Phoenix… I’ve heard it through the grapevine, but you really have a talent for making people laugh.”
“What…”
Pachijik!
The next moment, Jeon Myeong-hun appeared in front of me, grabbed my mouth tightly and lifted my body.
I tried to struggle out of his grasp, but I realized there was no way I could escape.
Jeon Myeong-hun smiled brightly, golden lightning flashing from his eyes.
“How unpleasant. You dared to use the main line as a bug.”
‘What is that…?’
I was confused, but I knew one thing.
The being before your eyes is at least a being higher than truth and good!
Kkugugugu…
‘This is… not Jeon Myeong-hun’s evil power…!’
It was when I was panicking and desperately trying to find a way out of this situation.
Toouk!
The entity possessing Jeon Myeong-hun’s body let go of my face.
I fell to my knees in front of him, sobbing.
“The level you have… You are too big. I can’t stand up to you…!”
But what was truly terrifying was that the force this being had just displayed was not even a hint of it.
The being possessed by Jeon Myeong-hun seemed to look down at his hand for a moment, then smiled brightly.
“… He got hit. That guy… He arranged for the main event to arrive there in the end. His prophecy surpassed the main event. Haha… It would be impossible with his power alone. He must have borrowed the power of [the oldest one].”
He clicked his tongue as he blurted out some strange words.
“The resurrection is not yet complete, so I will leave the fate of the main line in your hands for a moment. Do as you wish. The main line will find its own way out.”
“…Who are you? And what did you just say…?”
“Don’t be curious. That hideous thing you’re wearing on your chest will soon tell you everything. Do whatever you want.”
After saying that, he sat cross-legged in front of me, closed his eyes, and hid all his energy.
I looked at him for a moment and then said.
“… I have to save my colleague Jeon Myeong-hun. I don’t know who you are. Perhaps… you are a true spirit similar to Cheonryeobun or Geumjinjo. You are probably trying to take over my colleague’s body, but I absolutely cannot let that happen. Therefore, I will do whatever it takes to find my colleague’s body!”
chin!
I put both hands on his shoulders.
Surprisingly, he did not resist.
No, it seemed like he had no will to resist at all.
‘Did I say I was being resurrected? I’m in a situation where I can’t use my strength for a moment because I’m being resurrected inside Jeon Myeong-hun’s body! I can’t resist… Is it true that you say ‘do whatever you want’? I don’t know. But whether it’s true or not… There’s something I have to do!’
I looked at him for a moment, then lifted Jeon Myeong-hun’s body and threw the Jeokryeo Palace.
I headed towards the center of the red bedroom.
As I got closer to the center, the poppy scent started to get stronger.
‘You said that if you go through the Angel’s Labyrinth, you can go to Yang Su-jin’s treasure vault.’
However, Geumjinjo said that he could not go there until now because entry and exit there was impossible.
However, the moment I reached the entrance to the place called the Cherry Blossom Labyrinth, I immediately realized that I was ‘qualified’ to enter this place.
‘It was a structure that could be opened too easily for the acquirer of the Heavenly Destruction!’
Pasha sasha sasha!
It seemed as if a maze-like space appeared in front of me.
However, as soon as that space was touched by my power of destruction, it distorted in an instant and became a straight passageway that continued forward.
I ran quickly down the straight path.
The scent of chrysanthemums wafted from everywhere, and I saw something apparition beyond the scenery.
A woman with white hair and a man who looked like Yang Su-jin were walking through a field of poppy flowers.
The two of them put on something that looked like rings together in the middle of a field of poppies.
‘…I see.’
I noticed the role of brain damage.
All the spaces except the Tower of Trials were bedrooms, gardens, and flower fields.
This place was… a space for Yang Su-jin to spend time with her most precious person.
For a while, the apparitions of Yang Su-jin and the white-haired woman flew through the cherry blossom labyrinth.
I finally reached a new space.
Paaaaah!
‘That’s it!’
In a strange space that seemed like a dream or underwater, I reached out to the familiar energies floating through the space.
Phaaaat!
The symbols of the five middle realms quickly entered the world within my soul.
‘Now if I just go out…’
But when I looked back, the path to the cherry blossom labyrinth I had come from had disappeared.
“What…!”
That was when I was confused.
The entity possessing Jeon Myeong-hun’s body gave advice.
“You can’t go back to the 107th floor of the Thunderstorm. That’s because Yang Su-jin originally created the Sakura Labyrinth and the 107th floor to strengthen her resolve. In other words, from the 107th floor, you can only go to the 108th floor.”
“…!”
I could feel the path leading to the 108th floor.
‘Damn… I was hesitant because I didn’t know what Seo-hyul was up to…’
It didn’t seem like I was in a position to choose this or that.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and throw myself towards the 108th floor.
Paaaaah!
And then, a pure white light enveloped my eyes.
“…uh?”
I looked around with a bewildered expression.
I am familiar with it.
This place was so familiar.
I waved my hand.
Kwaaaaang!
The ceiling of the familiar basement was torn off, revealing the surrounding scenery.
“… Ha, haha, hahahahahaha!”
I finally figured out where the 108th floor of the Noeseonghae building was.
And I think I know why Seo-hyul had previously told me to investigate Yang Su-jin’s shrine in order to conquer Noesonghae.
“… I see. It was here.”
Brainwash 108th floor.
That place is the Sugye Dapcheon Desert.
It was a dark underground castle of Wonrip.
Ilwolcheon Station.
The constellation.
The constellation of the virtuous one in that constellation.
There, Seo-hyul opened his eyes wide.
“… became.”
He stood up, spread his arms, and laughed.
“Finally, Seoran has returned to the water world.”
chuck!
He smiled and concluded the agreement.
Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!
And the relief workers spread throughout the Ilwolcheon area began to form a contract all at once.
At the same time, the same sentence came out of all the Seo-hyuls’ mouths.
[Trigger. The sky is turbid with soul]
