My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

My Alter Ego’S Path To Greatness Chapter 429

Dark Side (1)

A brilliant light covering the sky above the city.

Those who had fallen asleep were awakened by a level of light so strong that they could not believe it was the middle of the night, and the entire city became noisy.

Of course, it wasn’t just because of the light pollution.

Rather, it would seem that noise is a bigger cause.

How many insensitive people can sleep soundly while a series of explosions reminiscent of nuclear explosions occur in the sky?

Those who woke up and looked up at the sky outside the window could not help but suspect that they were still dreaming.

Not many people realized that an aurora-like curtain of light was protecting the city from the aftermath of the explosion, but there was something about the angel, whose presence was so strong that it could be clearly felt even from afar, that touched the heart beyond understanding.

“…Hah, what on earth have we been fighting about?”

Like the citizens of such a city, An was looking up at the sky blankly and muttered softly.

She let out a deep sigh while holding the unconscious Fuhrer Frey tightly in her arms.

Starting with a demon who can freely play with time, an immortal who fights against such a monster without being pushed back, a sniper who hits such a bomb from an unseen place, and an angel who blocks the attack without causing much damage.

Is this what we call ‘cheon-oe-cheon’?

As an amazing fight unfolded before our eyes, to the point where we felt ridiculous for those who had been fiercely resisting until now, even though we watched the entire incident unfold, we couldn’t really feel it.

Ann slowly looked around.

On the other side, the powerful members of the Buncheonhoe, who had had to use all kinds of means to deal with one of them, were lying around like crumpled scraps.

Her gaze went up to the sky again.

An angel slowly descending with his wings spread wide.

I could only admire the presence that seemed to draw the attention of the surrounding area to its body.

‘I’ve heard of it. He is clearly a saint from another world….’

Looking at that figure, I could understand the term saint.

Or rather, it felt like it fell far short of reality.

No matter how you look at it, isn’t it already a being that is far beyond human?

‘From what I heard, the dragon actually appeared already, right? Then it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that he’s a real angel.’

Of course, he wasn’t the only one who performed impressively.

Not only did he face the executioner one-on-one and compete on equal terms, he also captured a muscular man wearing an animal mask who unhesitatingly stopped the transcendentals who tried to make him escape… and the head of the Southeast Asia branch who was

trying to sneak away while helping to subdue him. Even the helmet man and demon Ken played a part in catching him.

Although it was unfortunate that he had missed the most threatening enemy, the Executioner, there was no way that he could catch him as he was running away in the first place.

It’s nothing more than a time stop!

I was at a loss as to how to deal with an enemy with such abilities.

‘I’ll have to think seriously about that in the future as well.’

Its survival will definitely become a major obstacle in the future.

If the executioner, who is enraged by the failure of his work, decides to carry out a secret attack, even the blazing torch that revived the knight will not be able to hold out for long and will collapse.

‘But the situation itself isn’t that bad.’

The Burning Torch force itself has suffered serious damage, but it has formed relationships with people with even more powerful powers.

Masquerade, a secret organization with the power to compete head-to-head with the Buncheonhoe, which has a different plan than they do.

Just learning about the existence of such a helper could be said to be a great harvest.

As she approached them to express her gratitude, she suddenly stopped.

Because of the sudden feeling of discomfort.

She looked around at the Masquerade members again.

An angel covered in light and a muscular warrior covered in scars.

A man with a limp helmet sitting next to him as if watching over the captured enemies, and even a demon looking at them awkwardly.

It was only after checking it one more time that I was able to realize what the sense of heterogeneity was.

‘…Wait, wasn’t there one more person?’

The moment I realized it.

Goosebumps ran all over her body.

‘Since when? ‘How come I didn’t notice it all this time?’

Since its first appearance, it had been so non-existent that it was not at a level that could be overlooked.

Had I completely excluded him from my consciousness without even realizing it, as if that person had never existed in the first place?

‘I definitely remembered information about the phantom! It’s not a mental attack, but what the hell is this….’

As she looked around and looked at the expressions of her colleagues, she realized that no one other than herself had noticed anything wrong.

Even though they are all characters in their own way.

Perhaps if he didn’t have the special ability to manipulate fate, he wouldn’t have been the same as them?

‘So where the hell is he now?’

That’s it, of course.

There was no need to say anything.

***

Grunch—

The frowning executioner gritted his teeth softly.

Returning to his human form again, he pulled on the hood of his jacket, patching up the wounds on his chest that had not yet healed during the escape.

“What the hell is this?…”

What mountain in Malaysia is he currently in?

It was located hundreds of kilometers away from the small city in Thailand where the fight took place.

He, who was able to come here in the blink of an eye thanks to time stopping, slowly caught his breath and gently closed his eyes.

‘…I owe that half penny.’

It was a moment when I felt a sense of crisis, thinking that if things continued like this, something really big would happen.

I was barely able to escape the situation thanks to an ultra-long-range sniper shot from the sky.

He received help from the woman who laughed at him for not being able to fight properly up close and all she could do was giggle from afar.

“Tch!”

Of course, it could not be said that it was purely thanks to that assistance.

It would have been impossible for his subordinates, who had no choice but to draw attention to his ‘orders’, to escape without the ability to stop time.

However, considering that the angel who could be said to be his polar opposite had no choice but to leave the front line due to the bombing, he could not deny that he had incurred a debt.

‘Masquerade… I will never forget this. The same goes for those resistance fighters. Next time, I will definitely rip them all apart and kill you.’

It will make you regret letting go of yourself because of pointless altruism.

Whether the entire city was wiped out by bombing or the remnants of the Burning Torch, which had used up most of its power, were annihilated, they should have ignored all the damage and taken care of it first.

So that I can’t help but think of it like that while I’m dying.

‘I went a little overboard this time. I think I need to hide for a while and control my condition. Still, thanks to that monster, the desire to fight has definitely been relieved, so it won’t be that difficult to calm down the pollution.’

The problem of mental pollution was a fate that naturally followed from the moment one accepted the devil’s karma.

No matter how high the status of the original god was, it could not be helped as long as there was a cause and effect that he was able to overcome the wall thanks to demonization.

‘Once I’ve made some adjustments, I’ll pay you back right away. This great evil of eternity… I will make you realize with your life what it means to turn the one who controls time into an enemy…’

The moment I continued to think like that.

Stop—

The corner of his mouth twitched as he stood still.

Then his head slowly turned towards himself.

“under!”

He let out a sigh and his face distorted again.

It was a bit vague at first, but by this point it was clear.

“…I never thought I would be followed.”

As if answering his low-pitched self-talk.

“I have a good feeling. “More than I expected.”

A cold voice came quietly from the shadows of the bushes.

“Hmm, maybe I should have kept a little more distance and followed up? It must have been quite expensive, but it’s still like this. “I guess I took it a little easy.”

With the words that followed, a figure appeared from the darkness of the forest.

Unlike the executioner, who looked disfigured after fighting with Harley, who was persistently clinging to him, the man was dressed in a suit as neat as when he first appeared.

“Phantom…”

Heinz II was the pinnacle of a vampire wearing a white opera mask who used “Nenial of Existence” to erase his own existence from the world and followed his opponent’s footsteps.

However, even as the executioner faced him directly, he could not help but have one question.

“How on earth did you chase me?”

He clearly stopped time and retreated, thoroughly erasing any remaining traces.

Movement in frozen time was much more stealthy than simply using space movement as no magic wave was left behind.

It is only natural that the location changes literally in the blink of an eye, without any warning.

Of course, it was far from convenient as he had to move his body himself, but it had nothing to do with him having the body of an archdemon.

Even now, in that moment when time stopped, didn’t we jump hundreds of kilometers and reach Malaysia across the border?

I couldn’t understand how they had chased me so quickly.

“well?”

Of course, Heinz had no intention of answering that question kindly.

There was no need to give information to the other party.

‘No matter how much we erase our presence, the game ends the moment we secure blood through Harley.’

For a vampire with fresh blood who considered blood itself as the basis of divinity, it was not a task to determine the location of the object from which fresh blood was obtained.

Of course, as the opponent is of equal rank, the farther the distance is, the more difficult it becomes, but a distance of only a few hundred kilometers was not that much of a problem.

“Anyway, it’s a shame. “I was hoping that if I left it like this, I might be able to salvage something.”

“You guy…”

“I wanted to watch more and dig up information if possible, but it doesn’t always work out that way.”

Heinz looked at the executioner with regretful eyes.

I kept a certain distance because I was afraid that if I got too far away, I would completely lose control like the Doctor.

As expected, secretly following a semi-god level opponent who was half outside the framework of the world must have been difficult for him as well.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it already being caught.”

Heinz lightly shrugged his shoulders.

And the moment I lightly snapped my fingers.

The “Mystery of Blood,” which had been secretly prepared along with the “Denial of Existence,” was revealed.

Heinz II’s unique domain created to counter the opponent’s time stop.

Particles of blood, which were almost like parts of his body, swirled throughout the space, separating the world from the outside world.

[…dare. Are you willing to deal with me like this? Are you alone?]

The executioner, who had already returned to his devil form, growled lowly.

Of course, it was true that he had suffered quite a bit of damage in the ensuing fight, but he never thought that he would be defeated by that one phantom.

If you really want to do something, just pull out again and that’s it.

No matter how much the opponent is of the same level, he will not be able to stop himself from deciding to leave.

If you take the opportunity to tear through the barrier and use time stop once again…

“Isn’t this not enough? “You’re so greedy.”

But unfortunately for him.

This wasn’t the only move we had prepared.

“Well, it’s not like I don’t use what’s already set up… “I already have enough to gain, so it doesn’t matter if I pursue a little efficiency.”

From the moment the bombing began in the city and from the moment I realized that Beoncheonhoe’s help was there, there was one thing I hastily prepared.

I went through a lot of trouble preparing hastily, wondering if support equivalent to that of the executioner might be added or if Beoncheonhoeju might step forward in person!

Now, isn’t it too wasteful to just pretend it never happened?

Saaa—

In an instant, the temperature within the space drops rapidly.

As if a filter had been applied, the brightness of the world went down a few levels.

[…This?]

The executioner stiffened.

Then he slowly turned his head in the direction where he suddenly felt a presence.

[This is the ultimate test subject! Even so, I felt like I was blocked by a wall recently. If I study you, I will be able to learn something.]

What on earth did they do to be able to appear like this without any sign?

The presence was there.

If you think about it, he is the person who can be said to be the starting point of this ‘masquerade’.

[…Hahoe mask!]

[Khahaha! A devil-level demon that can be dissected and studied to your heart’s content? Good, very good. Being able to study the differences and commonalities of each dimension is like a pumpkin rolling in on a vine!]

Hans, who appeared on Earth for the first time in a long time, burst into laughter when he saw the fresh offering.

But the new characters that appeared did not end there.

“Huh~ That’s the devil from another dimension? “Well, it’s a bit refreshing to see it like this.”

A captivating voice that erodes your mind just by hearing it.

Even though an opaque veil was drawn below her eyes, the devilish woman, whose beauty bewitched even the same sex, smiled and glanced at the executioner.

At the same time, the darkness of the abyss spread from the skull staff held by Hans, enveloping the isolated space, and Hella’s “World of Demons” was once again overlaid on top of it.

At this point, it can actually be considered a dimension other than Earth.

Of course, it goes without saying that all connections with the outside world were cut off.

‘What is this?! What the hell is this?!’

As the situation unfolded, cold sweat could not help but flow down the spine of the executor, who was in high spirits.

There are as many as three opponents, each of whom is on the same level as himself.

Plus, if you include the angel and immortal monster I encountered for the first time…

‘That’s ridiculous. So far, you haven’t even figured out that these guys exist or that they are united as one? What kind of dog…! Oracle—! There’s a level of dereliction of duty. What on earth are you doing!’

It was the moment when all of Masquerade’s dark side descended on Earth.

Since the avatars didn’t have a very positive energy, it was inappropriate to openly show them in a crowded place, but in a place like this where they were alone, it wouldn’t really matter.

“It just so happened. I wanted to test how well I could counter time stoppage with my magical eyes. And again…”

Hela, whose eyes were shining with five colors, continued lazily.

The jewel-like eyes that went back and forth between domination, extinction, and foreknowledge of cessation looked straight at the executioner.

With eyes that seem somewhat greedy.

“It is rather a good opportunity. If you kill him clumsily for no reason, you never know where he will come back to life like the Doctor. Even if you extract everything that needs to be extracted, it would be better to leave the finishing to a professional.”

Heinz II lightly nodded his neck and slowly stepped forward.

The blood droplets floating around his body gradually began to spin violently.

[As the saying goes! This body is the one who rules over death—.]

Hans, who succeeded Heinz, harshly criticized him with all his might.

The king’s proclamation, as if coming from the underworld, echoed inside the isolated space.

[You will not be able to escape even through death!]

The basis of his divinity is ‘death.’

For him, a specialist in this field, bypassing resurrection and putting him in a state similar to death was a piece of cake.

…Of course, you can’t really eat it.
