## Chapter 1678 – Chronicles of the Black Haired Foreigner – Celestial Demon Constellation

“…!”

As I gave chase, the bastard swiftly began to flee.

Right now, he’s optimized for speed. Catching him would be quite difficult. So, how do I kill him?

As my murderous intent surged, my vision distorted. I have to find a way. I have to win, no matter what.

—A sensation I haven’t felt in a while.

I’ve always fought enemies stronger than myself, and in the end, I’ve always found a way to kill them. Back then, I was literally fighting for my life. But now? Not at all. I’ve become so powerful that there’s no one left to fight.

Just a casual wave of my hand can destroy everything. That’s who this Celestial Demon Kim Kat is.

Tenacity, murderous intent, and rage. I had unknowingly forgotten them. But now, I fully realized that those feelings had been revived.

He’s an enemy I have to kill.

Doesn’t want to fight? I can’t believe the words of a guy who sent an army to devour entire dimensions. He’s just like me. He’s just throwing out words to see how I react.

If I leave him alone, it’s clear that countless people will die as a result.

“Unstoppable impulse, dejaaaaaaaat!!!”

Right now, I’m unleashing the forbidden cry of impulse!

—Whoosh!

I deployed thousands of dimensional gate portals around him. At the same time, I created an entrance in front of me.

—Flash!

I emerged through one of the thousands of gates.

—Flinch!

As soon as I came out, he flinched and quickly started moving. —Thwack! He stomped on the void and accelerated to the extreme, following him, but the distance didn’t close. No. It was slowly widening.

“Stop!”

—Flash!

This time, I created a gate right in front of his nose. A gate leading directly to my side. I wish he would just pass through it.

—Thwack!

He swung his fist, broke my gate, and moved forward. Then this time, I’ll go directly. I created a gate in front of him in the same way, and the moment I entered the entrance I made right in front of me.

“…!”

His face unfolded before my eyes.

“Die!!!”

But.

—Whoosh!

He accelerated at an unimaginable speed, breaking away from my range. Instant acceleration and speed. Everything surpassed me. Damn it. I’ve been living comfortably as an emperor, and now my speed is so lacking that I can’t even catch an enemy! I chastised my complacency and continued the pursuit.

If I kill this bastard, I’m going to do speed training no matter what. I need to get used to a completely different kind of combat than fighting on the ground or flying around on planets.

I need to gain experience in battles that unfold while traversing through space and dimensions! That’s what I’m lacking!

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!”

At that moment.

—Whoosh!

This time, he started opening dimensional portals. It seems he’s thinking of escaping to another dimension altogether. But he’s cautious. He seemed worried about getting caught by me while using the dimensional portals.

Still, I can’t let him go.

“Siljang Dissection!”

—Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack!!!

I immediately used Siljang Dissection to shatter the dimensional portals being created. In that way, he and I continued a tedious chase.

As we were doing that.

“I don’t want to cause a conflict with a Transcendental.”

He let those words slip.

“I do.”
“If you’re really trying to kill me.”

Oh.

“It will only lead to the eternal destruction of one of us.”

He didn’t do anything but run, considering he threw out such a dramatic line.

Right then.

—Zzzzzzz!
—Zzzzzzz!
—Zzzzzzz!

As if trying to imitate me, he opened numerous dimensional portals. In an instant, dimensional portal flowers bloomed as if we were in a fully bloomed flower garden. Is he thinking of escaping through one of those?

I wanted to just blast them all with Celestial Demon Death Beam… but he’s fast! Just as I was about to follow him to where he was entering.

—Swoosh!!

Suddenly, he split his body and scattered in all directions!

“This bastard!”

He’s planning to split his body and escape to different dimensions! He’s making a desperate move. But splitting his body in front of me is suicide. He should already know that from earlier, so why is he doing this?

“Celestial Demon Death Beam.”

My judgment was swift. I shot Celestial Demon Death Beams at the scattering fragments.

—Swoooooosh!

This is his miscalculation. The split fragments were slower than my Celestial Demon Death Beam. As I seared the space like that, everything except for one fragment disappeared.

With this, his combat power has been divided up.

If it’s that much, I can chase him… but.

—Flash!

Just one.

One fragment, having sacrificed all of its parts, entered the gate. At that moment, I instinctively knew.

“That bastard!!!!”

My dimension!

He’s heading there!

“No way!!!!”

He’s planning to destroy the planet in my dimension! Even though he’s weakened that much, it’s still enough to destroy a planet!!!

—Whoooooosh!

I was already at maximum speed, so I couldn’t go any faster. I immediately followed him back to my dimension.

—Gooooo.

His form had changed. A form with considerably slimmer muscles. Did he lighten himself by cutting off fragments?

The lighter him conveyed his intentions to me.

“I’ll destroy the foundation of your power.”

Foundation?

Rage boiled at the word destruction. This was the Status Window Dimension. On that planet, countless people were living. If he were to strike the planet at that speed… the world would be turned upside down.

Countless people would die!

—Whoooooosh!

Can I catch up? No. He’s gotten faster. He’s gotten faster by lightening his body!

—Tingle.

A moment of judgment.

I immediately drew upon the Celestial Power of the Celestial Demon Divine Art.

“Celestial Demon Divine Art.”

His goal is to destroy the planet.
If I know that purpose.

“Celestial Demon Great Dimensional Gate.”

I could deal with it well enough.

「—Tsupat!」

He can break my dimensional portals. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to move him using dimensional portals. So I.

Deployed a dimensional portal the size of a planet.

—Gooooo.

I felt an enormous amount of power being consumed. I’m a bit lacking in versatility, but I can do it if I have to.

Anyway, with the giant dimensional portal I created like that.

—Whoa!

I swallowed the planet and moved it.

At the same time, I created a gate leading to his front and went to meet him.

“…!”

He’s in a state of panic.

He must have been very surprised that I would move a planet with a Great Dimensional Gate. I was also surprised because I did it on the spur of the moment.

—Thwack!

Of course, I didn’t miss the chance when he was panicking.

“Celestial Demon Heaven Splitting Palm.”

In a fleeting moment, I struck his solar plexus with my fist, causing a huge explosion, and with that, his body tore apart in all directions, leaving only a round core.

“Clean hit.”

If I had been even a little late, the planet would have been destroyed. I pushed the relief about that aside and immediately reached out my hand.

“Wilderness Blood Jade Hand.”

—Grip.

So that he can never escape.
I firmly grasped his core.

“You. What were you aiming for?”

And I asked.

“What were you aiming for?”

This bastard clearly said he would destroy the foundation of my power and was trying to target the planet. That means. He judged that he had to weaken my power by destroying the planet where humans are currently living.

Why did he make such a judgment?

He did as he judged. He risked it, faked it by tearing his body apart again, and then sprinted to target my planet with even greater speed.

Even if he lost some power by tearing his body into several pieces, he judged that he could win if he just destroyed the planet.

He has a basis.

A basis for making this judgment.

—Crackle!

I poured the power of the Celestial Demon Divine Art into the tightly held core. I shook the inside to a pulp and searched for any emerging personality or ego.

“What the hell.”

But damn it, there’s no reaction.
Is this bastard really dead?

No. A bastard like this would definitely have this core as his main body. Why isn’t there a reaction?

“Is it a problem with the form?”

—Squish, squish.

I immediately kneaded the core like I had made the immortals into meat dumplings. I kneaded the core like that and made it into the shape of a miniature human.

“Hey. Answer me.”
“…”

—Tsupat.

For a moment, I felt something similar to his energy.

“Kheuheok… Kkeueueueuk…!”

As I listened closely, he sent out painful vibrations. Good. He’s in a state where he can speak. Then his fate is only one thing.

“To become the second Bihal. Or the second Mersin. Let’s go. Let’s go to hell.”

—Flash.

I immediately formed a barrier around me.

He’s an existence with great power. Let’s continuously torture him to extract his power and get information. I might as well overlap my small dimensions and create an infinite maze-like hell to isolate him.

“Hehehe, you bastard. You’re going to have to tell me everything you know.”
“Kkeuheueueueuk…!”

I subjugated him to my barrier like that.

“Hoo.”

That was a really dangerous moment. He was really strong for a bastard I met out of the blue. Maybe this guy. He split himself into many pieces and sent them to numerous dimensions, and then he must have been growing his power by eating everything in those dimensions.

“The world is damn wide.”

When I lived in Krasheim, I didn’t know how big the Karga Kingdom was, and when I lived in the capital of the Karga Kingdom, I didn’t know how wide the world was.

All sorts of bastards are really living in this world.

When you think about it, the size of the universe is hundreds of billions of light-years or something, and there are a lot of dimensions. That’s the kind of world it is. It’s not strange that there are bastards like that.

“Transcendental.”

Transcendental.

I, Celestial Demon Kim Kat, was just strutting around, acting all cool while only going back and forth between one planet or a few dimensions, and I couldn’t even imagine that there would be a bastard like that.

“Damn it.”

I got my ego crushed for the first time in a while.

Feeling ashamed, I restored the location of the planet I had moved earlier.

Anyway, I defeated the infinite army.

I probably won’t have to fight for a while… damn it.
