Chapter 512 – Back to Earth (52)

In the cut world, Do-jin first thought of the goal he should aim for. How can I reach the realm of Dohun?

‘Common sense… It makes no sense.’

It’s easy to cut something with one swing of the sword. Anyone can do it if they try.

It’s hard to cut something without swinging a sword. There will be a lot of people who are impossible for the rest of their lives even if they try.

Then, how about swinging the sword -1 times and cutting something?

‘How do you mean swinging the sword negatively in the first place?’

It’s not about swinging a sword to heal someone. Dohun is really a negative world. Because it has reached the peak of heaven.

I know it’s not impossible. However, all I know is that it is not impossible.

‘The universe was created. Everyone on Earth knows this… If you tell me to do it, I can’t even dream of it.’

The Big Bang occurred in the universe where there was nothing, and the universe was created as a result – it was common knowledge to all mankind in the 21st century.

However, knowing that the universe was created was another matter of being able to reproduce it.

The stage that Dohun reached was the same. It was only known that it was not impossible, only that it existed – nothing was certain.

“Driving me crazy.”

At this moment, Do-jin felt as if he had returned to when he first grabbed the sword. I know nothing. I can’t imagine my future, my road ahead.

It was impossible to reach there without even deciding on a destination, but Do-jin recklessly swung his sword. If you don’t know where your destination is, but if you still need to get there – there is only one way.

“For now, it’ll work out somehow.”

If he treads everywhere he can go, one day he will reach it.

* * *

Time passed. In this world where only he was left, Do-jin was able to figure out some rules.

It is a world where even time is cut and does not move, so things like food do not rot. At first, I wondered if it was possible to eat food, but just as the light and air that had been cut were influenced by Do-jin and became his, I somehow managed to swallow the food.

Isn’t it the 21st century, where food that will not run out even if 8 billion people eat for several months is always piled up? Even if Do-jin lived here for years, decades, or hundreds of years, he would never starve to death.

‘Have there ever been days when I had this much free time?’

Do-jin belatedly realized that he had been given an almost infinite vacation. During that time, he had done too many things to be considered a god – and at this moment he was freed from all that work.

The first thing Do-jin did after gaining so much time was to do nothing.

In this world where nothing but himself exists, there is no reason to stay tense, so Do-jin was able to sleep without any thoughts or tension for the first time in a long time.

I spend a leisurely time without paying attention to monster raids, surprise attacks by people from other worlds, foreign invasions, or troublesome tricks by earthlings.

Do-jin realized how valuable that leisure was while sleeping for hours or even days.

“Ah…”

When all the fatigue and worries accumulated inside him disappeared and became empty, Do-jin swung his sword.

In a world that had already been cut and shattered by the sword, the trajectory he wielded was a meaningless swing – but every time he wielded it, it piled up inside me.

A month has passed.
Do-jin still swung his sword.

A year has passed.
Do-jin felt that his mind was rusting.

Ten years have passed.
Dojin stopped swinging his sword.

‘… There is no answer.’

Do-jin, standing blankly and staring at the sky, recalled what Do-hoon had said to him ten years ago.

─You have no talent.

Even at that time, I agreed that I had no talent compared to Dohun, but I didn’t really feel it. Wasn’t Do-jin a talent and reached a level similar to that of Do-hun?

From his point of view, who surpassed the limit with effort and experience, the word talent did not touch much.

However, at this moment, I am trying to go to a place I have never been to on my own. Dohun’s words made me feel more than anything else.

‘I have no talent.’

Someone is talented enough to learn to teach. If you teach one, you will learn one, and if you are lucky, you will learn two or three.

He did not have the talent of a great master to make something himself.

He himself can’t be like Do-hoon.

‘What should I do?’

Lost. No, that was wrong. In the first place, Do-jin did not know where he was heading from the beginning.

It was ironic to say that he was lost when he did not know his destination. Not exactly lost. From the beginning– I just ate it from the beginning.

“… I want to give up.”

The easy way was clear from the beginning. It was enough to cut my own throat with this knife in my hand and give up my life like that.

Moving forward without knowing the destination nor the remaining distance was as lonely as being abandoned in that vast universe.

“Will I just, just die?”

Thinking so, Dojin’s hands trembled. The thought of cutting my own throat passed through my head, and the fear it created made my hands tremble.

It meant that I didn’t want to die yet. However, if it goes on like this, it won’t be long…

* * *

A hundred years have passed.
The new sword, which seemed like it would never break, was full of rust. The rusty sword was after I forgot what I was doing or why I was doing this.

The sun and moon do not rise or set, the seasons do not change, it does not snow or rain, and there is no development or regression.

A world already dead. In this world where everything was cut, Do-jin had to go alone.

‘Why?’

Now, it seemed that finding the lost answer had become more important than the original goal he had.

Why is he doing this find the answer

* * *

A thousand years pass.
In fact, we don’t even know if it’s a thousand years.
In this world where time has stopped, even the body clock has been broken for a long time. Do-jin had to think deeply about whether his 1 second was really 1 second, and whether his day was really a day.

Broken like that, he didn’t even wield a sword anymore. If he just blankly stared at the sky and swung his sword once a day, he was swinging a lot.

There were days when I did nothing at all. This broken world broke Do-jin’s ideas, thoughts, thoughts and even consciousness.

Do-jin walked around the Earth, and he returned to the same place every time in this unbroken world.

“Ah…”

In front of the wives I don’t know when and how it was moved. Dojin’s steps always stopped here.

Although they cannot remember their voices or faces anymore- for some reason, their footsteps always stopped at this place.

Dojin, who was stroking the faces of his wives and reminiscing about ambiguous memories, carefully drew his sword.

“Hmm-.”

And he naturally digs his neck. About half of the blade pierced the nape of the neck, and if I went a little further, I could completely slash my neck.

Even until the blade penetrated, Do-jin did not recognize what he was doing. It was just a situation that would end like that.

─Clang-!
“… Ah.”

The sword breaks. The blade, which had not lasted a thousand years, accidentally hit an icicle there and broke it.

Dojin, who came to his senses at the sound of breaking iron, hesitated when he saw the broken blade and the icicle that broke the blade.

‘This…’

Icicle, ice, seoyun and cheat ability. All kinds of information starts to awaken in my head belatedly. Do-jin, who slightly averted his eyes, looked at his wives, who were hardened like statues.

It was a coincidence. The fact that the ice was here, the fact that it touched the blade of Do-jin, who was cutting his own throat, and the fact that the blade that had reached its limit hit an icicle and was broken in half.

Everything was a coincidence, but even if it was a coincidence, if it overlapped like this, it could be called destiny. The fate of 【Protagonist】 who does not accept his death.

“Ah-.”

It was only then that Dojin was able to face his cheat abilities that were ringing like crazy and waking up his mind. The one who cuts fate, the protagonist, the transcendent, and all kinds of other cheat abilities soothed and soothed him.

He begged like mad to see him. What I realized only now was a strangely violent reaction.

Dojin, who made eye contact with his abilities, slowly shuddered as he felt the realization that he was slowly raising his head. Intense sensations welled up from his toes, and stimuli that a newborn baby would feel hit his whole body.

“I see.”

I have no talent.
However, when did he get to this position only with his talent?
What pushed him up was his cheat ability after all.

“—You were there.”

It doesn’t matter if you lack talent. Even if you lack the ability you have, even if you lack imagination, even if you don’t know your destination. Even if it’s rusted over a thousand years.

Because the cheats that were with him never disappeared.

Gemini, indomitable, indestructible, bright, world tree, reigning heavenly demon, immortality, lucky star, talent explosion, king’s majesty, indomitability, arrogance of the seven deadly sins, the one who cuts fate, one who sees the end, the mother of the world , Immortal King.

And Protagonist.

All powers came upon him, forcing him to overcome his limitations and destiny. Break through the wall of talent that could never be penetrated, and forcibly find an invisible path.

That’s infinity ∞, the limit of the positive. The black gear that has reached its peak escapes its limits.

“Now I get it.”

Dojin grabbed the sword.
And he swung

“—Reverse Heaven.”

The world turns upside down.
By cutting off everything except itself, it returns to its original state.
Destroy the world and create it again.

* * *

“—Hmm?”

Do-hoon, who swung his sword, realized that his sword had cut Do-jin and that he hadn’t reached the same level yet.

It was a fatal blow that could never be stopped if it did not reach the same level, but Do-jin stood in front of him casually and aimed his sword at him.

“You had a spare in your life.”
“No.”
“Hmm-?”

Hearing Dojin’s words, Dohun swung his sword casually. Beyond the world of 0, rather than wielding it once less, a powerful blow.

It was such an attack that it was impossible to block it unless it was the same Pacheon——but Do-jin aimed his sword casually even after being hit by his sword.

Realizing what that figure meant, Dohun laughed madly.

“I realized-! Gear!”
“Ah, sorry… What were we doing?”
“It’s a rich fight! Son-!”

Dohun swung his sword fiercely. A smile spread across his face. As he swung his sword, he deliberately revealed his gaps, and Do-jin swung his sword as Do-hoon wished.

“Reverse Heaven.”

At that moment, Dohun fell into the negative world where everything was cut away and came back. As he thought, Do-jin reached the same stage as him.

How many years did it take, how long was the penance? It doesn’t matter. Only one thing is important now.

“—I love you. Son.”

He couldn’t help but love his son.
