Chapter 464: Chapter 464

‘This is not a normal form of qi.’

Seol-Hwi judged the black cloud shape unfolding from the opponent to be a supernatural power of the Hell’s Blade.

Generally, qi flows with the wind.

No matter the martial art’s attributes, it cannot defy the laws of nature.

But this was something different.

While taking the form of diffusion, black clouds were generated in various spaces as if encroaching on specific areas.

“I know how to deal with such qi.”

Even if it defies nature, bending space.

It’s useless before more fundamental power.

But this was a singular force.

With the primordial power, darker than darkness and brighter than light, it intended to confront that.

The effect was certain.

As soon as it touched the primordial power, the qi itself vanished.

Anything bending space was useless before the primordial power.

Sa Yu-kang, who was watching the scene, dropped his jaw.

The supernatural ability of a spirit—The phenomenon of what can be called the power of a spirit, defying nature, disappearing.

It was not a situation he could believe even after seeing it firsthand.

“You can guess the situation by now, can’t you?”

Seol-Hwi grasped the sword again. The primordial power began to emerge once more.

Though a force beyond nature, it penetrated the natural world, arguably the final form.

“This power cannot be blocked by anything.”

Enraged, Sa Yu-kang charged like a bolt.

Simultaneously, Seol-Hwi swung his blade.

Sa Yu-kang took the primordial power head-on, yet his expression remained bright.

‘Did he activate invincibility?’

His body continued to move with a shimmer.

And as he approached right next to Seol-Hwi, he swung the Hell’s Blade.

It was easily shattered by Seol-Hwi’s Fire Dragon Blade.

Sa Yu-kang was invincible, but his Hell’s Blade was not.

“That’s what I aimed for from the start.”

He grinned, still having invincible time left.

A chilling aura enveloped his entire body.

The force swept Seol-Hwi’s entire body away before he could even approach with the primordial power.

Of course, Sa Yu-kang was also swept up in the dark aura.

“I still have invincibility left.”

Even though quite some time had passed, Sa Yu-kang’s body continued to flicker, maintaining its invincible state.

Even acting as if it was mutual destruction, there was a way out.

“How about this, then? From now on, you won’t be able to move a single step from there. It will touch the core of your fear. Moreover.”

“Absolute Demonic Arts. I’ll add the power of Destroying Flame to it. I’m curious if your body will survive after taking a direct hit with it.”

He prepared once more for a lethal strike towards Seol-Hwi, who was enveloped in Sa Yu-kang’s dark aura.

A powerful heat radiated from his hand in all directions, layered with concentrated internal qi.

The terrifying power of the Absolute Demonic Arts was combined with the power of Destroying Flame.

At the moment Sa Yu-kang was about to slam into Seol-Hwi’s torso, Seol-Hwi grabbed Sa Yu-kang’s moving hand.

Sa Yu-kang looked on in shock.

In his plan, Seol-Hwi should have been unable to discern reality and be on the brink of death.

Yet, he moved as if nothing was wrong.

“Seeing your body’s caught , did your invincibility just end?”

“H-How did you escape…?”

“Fear, anger? Feeling something like that?”

“Hey. I’m already someone beyond that. I’m outside the standards you’ve created.”

“Then get lost, fake Sa Yu-kang.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a transcendent power flowed through Seol-Hwi’s hand.

It was a force that Sa Yu-kang’s internal qi could not withstand.

It was the primordial force itself, a divine power he dared not emit.

Sa Yu-kang’s body exploded on the spot.

Along with him, the black aura surrounding the area slowly disappeared, and only then did the dark night sky begin to reveal itself.

There was a hint of nostalgia in Seol-Hwi’s eyes as he watched Sa Yu-kang vanish like dust.

But he slowly shook it off.

Because this guy was not the Sa Yu-kang of that time.

“The noisy one is gone now.”

Seol-Hwi waited calmly.

Now that the noisy one was gone, the system would react again.

[Customized AI Sa Yu-kang is dead. Player survived. Searching for alternatives.......]

The system moved again, as if not willing to be outdone.

This reaction was interesting, and it also sparked curiosity.

He also wondered how long it would keep generating.

[Utilizing all possibilities will take considerable time. Estimated minimum time: 1 hour.......]

However, unlike before, it seemed to be struggling this time.

Well, since even Sa Yu-kang appeared, it was safe to say that the system’s learned entities were almost exhausted.

It was to the point that he questioned if it could even find one.

“What happens if I kill the greatest ability user created by the system?”

“If that happens… wouldn’t you be able to have all the powers of the system?”

“…What are you saying?”

“The system would recognize you as an existence beyond its capabilities.”

Seol-Hwi sat in an open space while the system searched for a substitute, contemplating the words Sa Yu-kang had spoken.

To possess all abilities, what could that truly mean?

At the time, he thought it meant becoming a creator who could command the system.

But now, upon reflection, it seemed more like becoming an entity capable of utilizing the system.

In other words, a creator who could operate the system.

The player, himself, being perceived as the Absolute Being he once saw.

Because it’s based on the assumption that a player can’t possess such abilities.

“Then, what happens when the real Creator appears in the future?”

Will the system heed his words?

Or will it listen to the words of the past Creator?

Seol-Hwi was curious about that as well.

And if that happens, he wondered what the existence of ‘Siming Star,’ expected to awaken the Creator, would be.

“But, how long do I have to wait for this?”

It seemed that Sa Yu-kang’s death had indeed impacted the system.

Even though the system expanded its worldview and mentioned beings beyond humans, it seemed difficult to find an existence surpassing Sa Yu-kang.

As a result, it seemed to be sifting through past data, checking the talents of numerous players, or even all beings.

“I hope it doesn’t choose another feeble one this time…”

Seol-Hwi quickly stood up as the words appeared in the system window.

At the same time, he eagerly awaited the system’s response with curious eyes.

[Ding! Selection complete. The subject has been designated as an 'unknown entity.']

Seol-Hwi was puzzled.

Does that mean it’s not something that exists within the system?

At that moment, the system began to spew incomprehensible words.

[Error! A suitability review is required for permission to modify the system of the unknown entity. Beep! Unknown. Proceed? Halt? ...'Ignored.' Error! There is no information on the unknown entity, so its disposition cannot be determined! Assign arbitrarily? ...'Ignored.']

‘What on earth is going on now?’

A completely different reaction from before. And actions that were incomprehensible at first glance.

Seol-Hwi couldn’t understand, but he couldn’t help but be curious.

Moreover, observing that reaction, he thought he understood one thing.

The existence the system was creating now—It was something akin to a ‘substitute’ that the system had never created before. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel{f}ire.net

['Ignored.' 'Ignored.' Calculated value... Error! ...'Ignored.' 'Ignored.' Customizing in progress!]

The system, with the best abilities it could implement, was trying to eliminate the entity before it by any means.

Because there was no basis for calculation, the entity blocking with errors was also the system.

And the one trying to proceed by ignoring it was also the system.

It was like witnessing a phenomenon of two selves colliding within one.

[Failed to find result value... Ignored. No data on the entity's existence... Ignored. Complete!]

The one acting recklessly soon began to produce something.

And the result unfolded before his eyes.

[Internal qi: Infinite]

[Intelligence: System]

[Special Ability: All abilities the system can implement]

[Ability: Customization for all types of beings (set desired abilities)]

[Weapon: Instantly generate everything recorded within the system]

[Martial Arts: Instantly generate anything desired within the Heavenly Demonic Cultivation universe]

[State: Profound Demon, Demon God]

As soon as Seol-Hwi saw the ability chart, a hollow laugh escaped him.

While the other aspects were as expected, his gaze lingered on two particular abilities.

‘Customization possible for all types of beings?’

He had experienced this once before.

The battle between the Creator and the Earth Demon.

At that time, the Creator artificially lowered the Earth Demon’s stats, rendering him powerless.

It seemed to refer to that.

‘The state is Profound Demon, Demon God…’

Theoretically, the highest possible ability.

The system was implementing it.

If there were a Creator, wouldn’t this be the state? That’s what this thing was showing.

‘This thing, the system can implement the maximum.’

Gradually, dust particles arose, and from there, particles were forming a person.

And the face was familiar.

The Absolute. No, the Creator.

The one who drove the Earth Demon to death revealed himself.

However, the difference this time was.

It was not the Creator from that time, but a being made by the system.

“Why do you pretend to be the Creator?”

Judging by the current reaction, it was clear.

Seol-Hwi gazed at the system-made Creator with interest.

The attire was identical to that time, but upon closer inspection, differences were noticeable.

Firstly, there was no focus in the eyes.

Perhaps the system deemed such trivial details inefficient and omitted them.

And another point was the hair.

It was not something that fluttered well in the wind like a human’s.

This, too, seemed to be something it had created, something perhaps inefficient enough to not pay much attention to.

The fake Creator frowned momentarily at Seol-Hwi’s question.

After tilting his head briefly, he reached out and mumbled something.

Seol-Hwi’s question was soon answered.

Not through his mouth, but through the window in front of him.

[ Within 5 seconds, 99% of the abilities of the target within the system area are reduced.]

And he realized—The true meaning of ‘customization’ among his abilities.

This guy in front of him was applying to him what Earth Demon had suffered back then.

He had to make a decision immediately.
